Chapter 234: The Mystery of the Secret Room

Baijia Manor is located in the north core of Xiaofeng City, quiet in the middle of noisy, and only separated by a wall from Xiaojiang Hotel.

The five villas in the manor cover an area of 1,000 acres, arranged in a staggered manner around the artificial lake, all of which are in European architectural style, and the same is true for the gardens.

To the south of the artificial lake is the entrance and exit of the manor, Bai Linsheng's house sits in the north and faces south, and the villa gate is facing the entrance, separated by the lake and the French-style pavilion.

The four villas on the east and west sides of the artificial lake are inhabited by Bai Linsheng's younger siblings.

The four villas form a posture of arch guards, and the Bai family is so magnificent.

Each villa is also surrounded by woods to ensure that each family is surrounded by a private environment.

In the study on the second floor where Bai Linsheng died, there are several thick camphor trees twenty-three meters outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and twenty or thirty meters between the two are low flower beds, which will not affect the line of sight.

Sitting on the branches of the camphor tree and pulling open the floor-to-ceiling windows can effortlessly shoot the person sitting at the desk.

Strangely, the doors and windows of the study were closed and intact.

The bullet seemed to pass through the floor-to-ceiling window, but it did not leave a bullet hole in the glass.

The murderer deliberately created a closed room murder case.

And once the crime is involved in a secret room, the suspicion of acquaintances or relatives rises sharply.

The reason is very simple, you can be familiar with the crime scene in order to carefully lay it out.

Chen Tianxue sat at the desk, looking out the window at sunset, the shadowy camphor tree, no matter how you look at it, it is suitable for the murderer to ambush, she did not hesitate any longer, and went straight to the suspected sniper point after going downstairs to find clues.

Bai Linsheng's younger siblings, as well as their families, surrounded the villa's cordon.

Chen Tianxue had no time to calm their emotions at this time, and with the assistance of the police from the Chengbei Police Station, she walked through the crowd and walked quickly to the camphor tree.

Her colleague Xiao Jiang is interrogating Bai Linsheng's relatives in the living room on the first floor at the moment.

When the gun rang out, Bai Linsheng's wife Wang Xinlian, son Bai Duoduo, daughter Bai Susu, and nanny Aunt Bai were all in the villa.

Wang Xinlian was the first to be interrogated, and Xiao Jiang asked, "Where were you when the gun rang out?"

Mrs. Bai Lihua said with rain: "You didn't go to find the murderer, but interrogated me, could it be that I am the murderer of my husband?"

Xiao Jiang said embarrassedly: "We are also routine, in order to solve the case as soon as possible, please cooperate with our work." ”

Wang Xinlian said angrily: "When the gunshot rang out, I was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and I urgently needed to know the situation of my family Lin Sheng in the hospital." ”

Xiao said: "There has just been news from the hospital, confirming that the rescue is ineffective, please mourn." ”

Wang Xinlian's howls and cries immediately sounded in the living room, and her children also began to cry.

Xiao Jiang glanced at him, complaining that he shouldn't have revealed Bai Linsheng's death at this time, and it would not be too late to tell him after the transcript was made.

Xiao Jiang couldn't understand why Chen Tianxue wanted to detain the victim's family for interrogation.

Wang Xinlian's grief-stricken expression didn't look like she was pretending.

Bai Lin's children are even more unlikely to murder their own father.

Under the camphor tree facing the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, Chen Tianxue sighed deeply.

The branches that can sit on people horizontally are shiny with oil, which shows that people often play here.

The branches are as thick as thighs, and the treetops grow backwards downwards and are connected to the ground, making it as easy to climb the tree as it is to climb the stairs.

There are many footprints under the tree, and the weather is sunny for many days, which is not only difficult to screen, but also has no value for screening.

Chen Tianxue set her eyes on the tree, and on the edge of the fork of the large branch, there was a small branch shaped like a slingshot, and a small piece of newly damaged bark could be seen in the notch.

She climbed the tree and sniffed it carefully, smelling a faint smell of gunpowder.

The killer was cautious, and no bullet casings were left at the scene.

Along the notch, you can look parallel to the desk in the study.

It is certain that the murderer shot here.

After demonstrating her judgment, Chen Tianxue jumped for a while for joy and fell into deep thought again.

Determining the location of the perpetrator alone does not mean anything.

The murderer is familiar with the Bai family manor and understands Bai Linsheng's daily routine?

What is the motive of the murderer? vendetta and love killing?

From the perspective of vendetta, Bai Linsheng can become the richest man in one party, and in the process of doing business, he is somewhat unscrupulous, especially in the engineering section, when bidding, coercing and luring competitors, colluding and rigging bids, and there are not a few people who dare to be angry and dare not speak;

If it's a vendetta, then the scope of investigation is too large.

From the perspective of love killing, it is not impossible to find Wang Xinlian with a pink face and peach blossoms, graceful and colorful, seeing that the man is in debt and unable to turn over, he and his lover should be together inside and outside, and the debt will be eliminated.

Then the mystery of the secret room is not a problem.

Before the murderer shot him, she helped push open the floor-to-ceiling window, and after the shooting, she closed it again?

Winter has not yet passed, and the air conditioner is still on in the study, and it is impossible for Bai Linsheng to push open the floor-to-ceiling windows, as an internal window, the outside cannot be opened at all.

Without an internal response, it is impossible for a bullet to fly around the glass and into it.

Chen Tianxue knocked on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, which was extremely thick, and it was almost impossible for the bullet to hit through the glass with one hit.

So to kill, you must pull the floor-to-ceiling windows open.

But why close?

Put a smoke bomb to solve a crime? Or is it just an internal habit?

Chen Tianxue feels that the difficulty coefficient of this case is very high, compared to passion killing, the real murderer is waiting to be caught, she prefers to challenge premeditated cases.

"Fence off this tree, there is important physical evidence that needs to be examined. ”

After confessing to the police, Chen Tianxue returned to the living room, and Xiao Jiang's interrogation of Bai Linsheng's close relatives continued.

Xiao Jiang asked, "Before the gunshot, was there anything unusual in the manor?"

Wang Xinlian hid her face and cried: "Just like usual, Lin Sheng is upstairs to handle official business, Aunt Bai and I are cooking in the kitchen, and the two children are watching TV in the living room. ”

Chen Tianxue pondered for a moment and asked, "After the gunshot, which of you was the first to go upstairs?"

Wang Xinlian said: "Su Su and I went upstairs first." ”

Bai Susu added: "We rushed up almost at the same time, and my brother followed after a while. ”

At the time of the incident, the four relatives in the villa corroborated each other's alibi.

In this way, the possibility of love killing is almost non-existent.

It is impossible for Bai Susu to watch her mother and her lover murder her father together.

Then it could well be a vendetta.

Chen Tianxue didn't interfere with their Q&A anymore, she probably couldn't ask any valuable clues, and she still focused on finding evidence.

Reasoning tends to go in the wrong direction, but evidence doesn't lie.

It's like a judgment based on love killing, in the face of an alibi, it is vulnerable.

In addition to waiting for forensic and technical personnel to analyze the bullets, Chen Tianxue decided to expand the scope of the investigation.

The Bai family manor has a three-meter-high wall on all sides, and for ordinary people, it can only be entered from the gatehouse on the south side, but for a murderer who dares to kill people with a gun, this height of the wall is nothing.

At half past seven in the evening, it was already dark.

Chen Tianxue held a flashlight, set off clockwise from the manor's gatehouse, did not hold out much hope, and walked along the gray and white wall of hollow bricks.

Street lamps are installed every ten meters on the fence to illuminate the small trails within the fence, and on both sides of the trail, one side of the fence is a one-meter-wide grass, and the other side is planted with safflower trees.

The daily life of the richest man's family is enviable, ordinary citizens need to go to the park to occupy a seat for morning exercise, and his house is full of parks, and every corner is a runway.

Walking to the back of the villa where Bai Linsheng lived, Chen Tianxue found half a fresh front footprint on the gray wall.

Her flashlight spun down, and the grass was clearly trampled on.

Chen Tianxue immediately took out her mobile phone and called her colleague who was still doing a trace check in the villa, informing him to come over to collect evidence.

At this time, there was also good news from the forensic side.

The bullet was a 7.62 mm bullet, which should have been fired from a Type 81 rifle, which was the first time it had appeared in Xiaofeng County.

Chen Tianxue shone the flashlight at the wall again, and when she looked up, there were traces of wear and tear on a hollow brick, as if it had been drawn by a sharp weapon, and she guessed that it might be a claw hook.

Three meters high, half a footprint, even with the assistance of a rope hook, the murderer is also skilled.

Coupled with the proficiency of the tools used to cooperate in the crime, it is very likely that the murderer is from a military background, and there may be a murder case.

It is likely that there are his complete footprints and even fingerprints outside the walls.

Combined with the internal investigation reports of the fraternal units and the wanted warrants for chasing fugitives, there should be some gains.

Chen Tianxue still can't figure it out, is there any internal response in this case?

After Shen Gui returned to the Guixin Garden, he stayed at Peony's house for a while, and then returned to his home exhausted.

Yun Lily sat cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, if it weren't for that strange outfit, she would really look like a little daughter-in-law living at home.

"Coming back?"

Still enthusiastic, she got up and removed the slippers from the shoe rack for him and placed them at his feet.

Shen Guidao: "Did you learn it from TV?"

Yun Lily said: "You are insulting my IQ, and you still need to learn the carving insect skills in the world?"

Shen Gui sat down on the sofa in the living room and said, "I almost forgot, you are a grandmother who has lived for more than a thousand years. It's a pity that your more than 1,000 years of cultivation are powerless in the face of death. ”

Witnessing a big living person turn into a dead person, even if the other party is an enemy, Shen Gui has a feeling that life is short, and everyone's life is only a few decades.

A vigorous life, or a life of inaction, at the end of life, are all equal, and there is no connection with the prosperous world, or close relatives.

Everything is dust, and does dust care if it lives in the hearts of others?

Yun Lily sat down beside him and said gently, "What's the matter? Which of your girlfriends died?"

Shen Gui was so angry with her that he was about to vomit blood.

I knew she wasn't cursing, but it was worse than any curse.

Shen Gui calmed down for a while and said, "Chatting with you, sooner or later I will be angry to death." I met a man who had just died today, and his aura did not go in. ”

Yun Lily said: "If you practice to the ninth layer, you can reverse life and death. ”

Shen Guidao: "But I'm already stuck in the fourth layer, and I can only produce one sword with one palm, if I want to make more than a dozen swords with two palms, when will I realize this?"
