Three poles in the sun!

The sun is shining brightly today, almost too brightly.

Shenjia Village!

The villagers who had originally gathered outside the village chief's house to watch the commotion had now moved to the other side of the river, to a shady spot.

"I don't know what the situation is like at the village chief's house."

"It's likely that a murder really did occur."

Didn't you see? Several more police cars just arrived.

"That's right, the officers who got out of the car looked much more professional."

"I just don't know who had the accident."

Are they the village chief and his wife?

Their children?

Or their parents?

"It's either the village chief and his wife, or their child."

I remember the village chief's parents lived on the first floor.

But now, all the police are gathered on the second floor.

That makes sense!

Sigh, I hope the village chief is alright!

I feel that Xiao Wu has done a pretty good job as village chief.

"It's really good."

Xiao Wu is a real man of action!

Not only were some of the village roads repaired, but the reservoir and river channels were also reinforced, and the landscaping was done quite well.

He also led the villagers to raise fish and shrimp together.

Finding such a responsible village chief is incredibly difficult.

"Just the fact that I live in the village is enough."

All the former village chiefs have moved to the city to live, and you can't find them when you need something.

Unlike Xiao Wu, who comes whenever needed.

"The main reason is that Xiao Wu handles things fairly."

"If he stays as village chief, our village will definitely get better and better."

"I hope Xiao Wu is alright!"

...

Inside the bedroom on the second floor of the small courtyard!

After the initial forensic examination, a white sheet was placed over Wu Liqun's pale face.

He called over several interns, and they carried the two bodies downstairs.

The next step, naturally, is to take it back for dissection.

Meanwhile, Shen Ting, upon hearing Guan Guandu's question, turned his head in surprise and said:

"Captain Zheng, it's been a long time!"

When did you arrive?

"I've been here for a while."

I saw you were too engrossed in your work, so I didn't want to disturb you.

Zheng Yuanqiao smiled and said:

"The string-pulling method you used looks very professional!"

"So, did you find anything?"

"A little!"

Shen Tingdao:

"It can be basically determined that there are most likely two murderers."

Or rather, there are at least two people.

Moreover, they most likely didn't intend to kill anyone in the first place.

There are two possibilities: either they want to make money.

Or perhaps they wanted to teach Wu Liqun a lesson and hurt him a little.

However, what happened next exceeded their expectations.

Zheng Yuanqiao and Guan Guandu both showed expressions of surprise:

"How did you come up with this information?"

Such detailed information is usually not obtained from bloodstains at a crime scene alone.

Shen Ting walked to the right side of the large bed and explained:

"Let me first explain why I say there are at least two suspects."

The most obvious signs are these wiped-off bloodstains.

These bloodstains lacked shoe sole patterns, suggesting the suspect was wearing shoe covers when committing the crime.

Even so, these shoe prints can still reveal certain characteristics of the murderer.

The two suspects had the same shoe size, 43.

One person has normal foot shape, while the other has flat feet.

Because a set of footprints has a relatively obvious gap corresponding to the arch of the foot.

The other set of footprints is relatively wider due to the collapse of the arch.

Furthermore, there is almost no gap in the middle, and between the forefoot and the heel is a wide and continuous arch area.

It's quite easy to distinguish them.

Shen Ting had previously exchanged for footprint analysis, which could even identify footprints in cement interlayers.

Although the perpetrator was aware of the need to cover up his tracks, his understanding of this criminal investigation technique was clearly limited.

They clearly didn't realize that even wearing shoe covers would still leave many traces.

Shen Ting continued:

"Judging from the footprints, the perpetrators are two adult males."

Their heights are all between 168 and 175 cm.

The man with flat feet was overweight, weighing around 80 kilograms.

A man with normal feet, of medium build, and relatively lean physique.

Guan Guandu and Zheng Yuanqiao nodded.

Although they couldn't discern many features from the footprints, they could still tell some differences.

"Then why do you say that the suspect might not have intended to kill at first?"

Zheng Yuanqiao asked curiously:

What is the basis for this conclusion?

Guan Guandu also looked puzzled.

The result is that two people are dead.

As for the killer's motive, there are currently two plausible theories.

One motive was financial gain; the murderer's original motive was theft.

Supporting evidence is the large amount of property that was lost at the scene.

It is possible that the victim discovered the theft, leading to an accidental killing.

This is easy to understand.

But the second motive is revenge because of grudges.

That's not so easy to explain.

The murderer brought a weapon and specifically came to the second floor after Wu Liqun had been drinking.

And this ultimately led to the deaths of Wu Liqun and his wife.

It's a bit strange to say they didn't want to kill anyone at first!

Shen Ting replied:

"That's easy to explain."

Although the forensic autopsy report has not yet been released.

However, judging from the injuries of the two victims, the perpetrator was strong and heavy-handed, and should have been in his prime.

Wu Liqun's physique can only be considered average.

In addition, he had drunk a lot of alcohol that night, which left him weak and in a drowsy state.

If the two suspects, who were in normal condition and were prepared with weapons, intended to kill Wu Liqun from the beginning, he should have had no chance of resisting.
