Xu Qi 'an found three suspicious points. First, there were footprints on the outer wall of the Zhang residence. These were left by the thief when he escaped. The wall was a flower garden, but there were no footprints when the thief entered the courtyard. If the thief had the qinggong to cross the flower garden without leaving any footprints, there was no need to step on the wall to borrow strength when he escaped. Secondly, the murder weapon was used. The victim was killed by a blunt weapon. Since the murderer did this kind of thing, he should have brought a weapon with him. A sword was more efficient in killing people, but he used a blunt weapon. It was probably because he did not have a suitable weapon at that time. Finally, there was the family of the deceased. Madam Zhang had been married to the deceased for nearly ten years and had no children, but she was pregnant when the deceased died. This was very suspicious.
The suspicious points in the case of Zhang Yourui, the night watchman of Dafeng, are as follows. First of all, there were outward footprints on the outer wall of the Zhang residence. It was inferred that the thief had climbed over the wall and escaped. However, there were no footprints that entered the courtyard in the dossier. There was a flowerbed under the wall, and there were no footprints that infiltrated the flowerbed. Secondly, the victim was killed by a blunt weapon in the back of the head. The murderer should have brought a weapon with him to do this. It would be more straightforward to kill with a sword, but why was it a blunt weapon? In the end, Madam Zhang married the deceased for nearly ten years without having a child, but she was pregnant at this time. The child might not be the deceased's.
Xu Qi 'an played a crucial role in Zhang Yourui's case! He found a lot of suspicious points by looking at the file. For example, he found that there were only footprints on the outer wall of the Zhang residence, but no footprints in the courtyard. He questioned why the murderer used a blunt weapon instead of a sword to kill people. He also raised questions about Madam Zhang Yang's pregnancy at this time. These findings and questions pushed forward the investigation of the case.
In this case, Xu Qi 'an and the other constables were like smart people and ordinary people. Xu Qi 'an was seriously reading the dossier and actively thinking about the suspicious points of the case. As for the other constables, they were either hiding behind Arrester Wang or adding random explanations when Arrester Wang was stumped by Xu Qi' an. They were not convinced by Xu Qi 'an's doubts, but Xu Qi' an was helping everyone solve the problems for Old Wang. His train of thought was clearly clearer than the other constables, and he was more able to discover the key problems in the case.
The relationship between Xu Qi 'an and his colleagues was rather complicated. Because of the pressure of the case, Arrester Wang felt that his subordinates did not share his burden. Xu Qi 'an wanted to coax Arrester Wang, so he worked hard to investigate the case. Some of the other colleagues hid behind Arrester Wang. When Xu Qi 'an raised some doubts, some of them would add points for Arrester Wang, some would disagree with Xu Qi' an's point of view, and some would interrupt like a bystander. Overall, there was cooperation and small friction between them.
Xu Qi 'an had many ways to find suspicious points in the case files. First of all, he saw that there were footprints on the outer wall of the Zhang residence, and he inferred that the thief had escaped over the wall. However, he thought that there was a flowerbed under the wall, but he did not find any footprints that entered the courtyard. This was very suspicious. Secondly, the victim had been killed by a blunt weapon in the back of the head. He felt that the murderer should have brought a weapon with him to do this kind of thing. It would be more straightforward to kill with a sword, but it was strange to use a blunt weapon. In the end, Madam Zhang Yang married the deceased for nearly ten years and did not have a child. However, she was pregnant at this time. This was also a big suspicion.
Xu Qi 'an found some suspicious points. The thief was able to enter and leave the house at night without being discovered by the patrolling soldiers, so he should be an acquaintance who knew the patrolling rules of the Imperial Saber Guards and knew the area of Kangping Street like the back of his hand. If the thief had stepped on the spot, he should have chosen to steal the house the next day instead of the same day. The deceased had just returned from collecting the rent, and all he had collected were broken silver, copper coins, and rice. It was impossible for the thief to escape with a large box of silver money after killing. These were all very suspicious.
Xu Qi 'an found three suspicious points. First, there were only footprints on the outer wall of the Zhang residence that were used to escape, but there were no footprints that entered the courtyard. Under the wall was a flowerbed. Whether the thief left footprints or not when he entered, there was a contradiction. Second, the deceased was killed by a blunt weapon. The murderer should have brought a weapon with him. It would be more straightforward to kill with a sword, unless the murderer did not have a suitable weapon at that time. Third, Mrs. Zhang had been married to the deceased for nearly ten years and was not pregnant. However, she was found pregnant when the deceased died. The child might not be the deceased's.
Aiya, the reference knowledge didn't mention who the real murderer was. He didn't know.
Xu Qi 'an found many suspicious points in the case. First of all, he saw that there were footprints on the outer wall of the Zhang residence, and he inferred that the thief had escaped over the wall. However, he was puzzled as to why there were only footprints when he escaped and no footprints when he entered the courtyard. There was a flowerbed by the wall. If the thief could jump over the flowerbed without leaving any footprints, there was no need to step on the wall to borrow strength when escaping. Secondly, the victim had been killed by a blunt weapon in the back of the head. He wondered why the murderer did not use a sharp weapon like a sword to do such a thing. He speculated that the murderer might not have a weapon at the time. In the end, when the deceased's family was brought back to the county government for questioning, Madam Zhang fainted from kneeling for a long time. The doctor diagnosed her as pregnant. He felt that Madam Zhang had been married to the deceased for ten years and had not given birth to a child. It was very suspicious that she was pregnant at this time.
Xu Qi 'an felt that if the thief had stepped on the spot, he would have chosen to steal the property that the victim had just collected the rent the next day instead of committing the crime on the same day. Moreover, it was also very strange that the thief did not take away the silver, copper coins, and rice that the deceased had just collected.
