”Magistrate Wang, this is not the first scene of death, she was brought here after being strangled to death.”

Wang Quanan frowned, finding the scene of death was not an easy task, the house was huge, it was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

”There are two weapons. The first one is a knife with a blunt edge. The second one is a wide, soft cloth belt. In addition there is black matter in the gap between the nails of the dead.”

Wang Quanan nodded his head seriously, he handed the scene to the few officials and brought his people out of the junk room.

”Since this residence is so large, the Magistrate Wang will have to put in a lot of effort.” Song Lai sighed, ”Did the victim die in a battle to the death?”

”Hmm?”

”When Fourth Miss was not here, I looked around and heard two maidservants discussing. They said that no matter if it was a wife or concubine, neither of them came out …”

”It's still too early to speculate. Let's wait and see.” Su Li couldn't bear to see the fetus anymore, but he still walked over with a heavy heart.

At this moment, the starry sky had also finished puking. It hatefully spat out a sentence, ”If I catch the real culprit, I will definitely skin him alive.”

Su Li glanced at the stars, but did not say a word.

The blood that had formed on the ground came from the wounds on the abdomen of the deceased.

It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but the position where the corpse was lying on, just happened to have a slight curve. After the blood gushed out, it would converge into the small round hole and form a pool of blood.

The fetus was right in the middle of the pool of blood, and the scene was extremely strange …

Su Li squatted down and discovered that there were a lot of white spots on the ground near the pool of blood.

She picked a piece and twirled it between her fingers. ”Is this the paste formed by cooling the candle oil?”

”Someone burned the candlestick?” Song Lai also followed Su Li's example and picked up a piece of ointment, ”Was he afraid of being surrounded by evil spirits after killing someone? ”So …”

Su Li speechlessly rolled his eyes, ”Song Lai, if only I was afraid of being entangled by evil spirits, I would have just burnt a candle holder. Why do I have to place a candle holder around the pool of blood to burn?”

”That's true.” Song Lai rubbed his head in embarrassment, ”If that wasn't fear, then why?”

”The murderer risked the danger of being discovered by burning the candlestick around the pool of blood. This means that burning the candlestick is an essential part of his plan, and it is indispensable.”

Su Li thought thoughtfully. In the modern world, there had also been cases where there was a sense of ceremony. Generally speaking, the culprit was either a pervert or someone who had been brainwashed by some kind of faith.

What kind of possibility could the murderer of this case be?

Song Lai was speechless, and looked at Su Li with a stupefied expression.

”Let's not worry about that for now. I'm more concerned about why the servant girl only discovered the deceased when she was about to die in Chou Chou's place.” As the second wife of the Wang Family, she would have servants to watch over her. When she woke up, there should be a senior servant or servant girl waiting on her, right? ”

Song Lai looked outside the junk room, where the Wang Family people were still standing, ”Could it really be a battle of houses?”

Su Li did not say anything else and carefully brought the fetus out from the pool of blood and placed it beside the corpse.

It was a boy, very white, almost transparent.

There were knife marks on the back, arms, and calves. It looked like the killer had accidentally cut the fetus during a laparotomy.

His face was cyanotic and, like his mother's, he had apparently died of asphyxiation from a lack of itching.

However, his face and neck did not appear to be suffocating, which was a little strange!

Su Li carefully pried open his lips. Inside, there were still remnants of the woven fabric, she took it out and placed it in Song Lai's custody.

”The murderer stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth to prevent him from crying?” Song Lai opened his eyes wide.

If so, does that mean that he was cut out alive?
