Chapter 16: Li Ye's Analysis
Under the blurred light, countless young men and women followed the energetic and strong metallic music, moving their bodies wildly on the dance floor, wantonly venting the emotions that had accumulated for the day.
It is a membership-only bar called "Dark Night", and only members, those with reservations, or those with booths are allowed to enter.
In order to be able to pass the application of the Dark Night Bar, there is only one condition, that is, you must be an Inhuman, so the Dark Night Bar can also be said to be a bar that belongs exclusively to Inhuman.
Sitting in front of the bar, Li Ye had a thoughtful expression on his face, he gently shook the sparkling water in the wine glass, and let the ice cubes in the sparkling water hit the wall of the glass, constantly making a crisp tinkling sound.
After Li Ye and Ye Mengying left Earl Edward's castle, Li Ye took Ye Mengying to this dark night bar, and before Li could explain the reason to Ye Mengying, he fell into deep thought because of the two phone calls in succession.
The first to call Li Ye was Xiao Qiang, who told Li Ye that he had found out that the taxi driver who had driven to the vicinity of the castle on the night of the crime had left Jiangcheng and gone to Jinling by high-speed train at Jiangcheng South Station at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and his whereabouts after that have not yet been ascertained.
And Xiao Qiang also found out that at 7:30 a.m. that day, 500,000 yuan had been remitted to the taxi driver's account, and the remitter was a company called Oumead.
Later, according to Xiao Qiang's investigation, this Oumad company is a cosmetics company registered in Iceland, and the company's legal person is called Veron, which is a friend of Dick.
The last one to call was Shen Qianxue, who said that she had found out what kind of poison was in Count Edward.
To be honest, when Li also knew the news, he was still a little surprised, because he didn't expect that Shen Qianxue said in the morning that it would take some time to verify the poison, but it had already been tested in the afternoon, and this work efficiency was really not as high as usual.
From Shen Qianxue's description, Li also learned that Earl Edward's possession was a poison called the Impotence Pill, the main ingredients of which were golden leaf chrysanthemum and wolf poison flower.
The medicinal properties of the elixir are very strong and quite fast, especially for vampires.
However, due to the conflicting medicinal properties of the golden leaf chrysanthemum and the wolf poison flower, it is not only very difficult to combine the two into one poison, but even if it is refined, the time that can be stored is very short.
In the end, Shen Qianxue also added that Li also thought that it was a crucial point, and it was also the reason why he fell into hard thought.
Shen Qianxue said that although there were signs of poisoning in Count Edward's body, the poison of the Yang Cautery Pill would disappear quickly after it entered the body and took effect.
So if it weren't for the fact that there was still an ingredient of the Yang Burning Pill in that goblet, she would not have been able to detect what the poison was, and she might not even be 100% sure whether the abnormalities in Count Edward's body were really caused by poisoning.
Ye Mengying sat beside Li Ye with her head propped up, staring blankly at a group of people dancing in front of her, and her small nose couldn't help but have a few playful folds.
To be honest, Ye Mengying doesn't like places like bars very much, because this kind of place always gives people a very impetuous feeling, and it is too noisy.
If she wanted to vent her emotions, she would find a secluded woods and slash at a stake with her sword, or she would rather find someone to fight in the ring.
After being stupid for a while, Ye Mengying saw that Li had been sitting there quietly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he finally couldn't help but ask: "Team leader, why did you bring me here?" Didn't Forensic Doctor Shen call just now, she said that poison is rare! If we go to investigate, maybe we will get something!"
"Mengying, do you have any thoughts on the case of Count Edward now?" Li Ye did not answer Ye Mengying, but asked rhetorically.
"Ahh
But then Ye Mengying thought for a while, and quickly expressed his opinion: "I think from the results of our investigation at this stage, it is still the adopted son of Count Edward, Dick, who is the most suspicious. ”
Listening to Ye Mengying's answer, Li also shook his head, obviously he had a different opinion.
"Isn't it?" Ye Mengying couldn't help but be puzzled when she saw Li Ye shaking her head.
Because she thinks that the case is clear enough by now, firstly, as the adopted son of Earl Edward, Dick is fully capable of poisoning, and secondly, Dick is also suspected of bribing taxi drivers and deliberately falsifying alibi, so as long as a little more evidence is found, not to mention that Dick can be arrested directly, at least it will be no problem to interrogate him.
"My opinion is the opposite of yours, and I think Dick happens to be the least suspicious of them all. ”
However, Li Ye's next words made Ye Mengying wonder if she had heard it wrong.
"How can Dick be the most suspicious?Team leader, are you showing off your head?" Ye Mengying asked with a surprised expression, but then she suddenly woke up and spoke a little presumptuous in front of the "leader", and quickly stuck out her tongue to hide her embarrassment.
Seeing Ye Mengying's cute and playful appearance when he stuck out his tongue, Li couldn't help but want to tease Ye Mengying, so he deliberately straightened his face and pretended to be angry: "Of course I don't have a show in my head!
"Team leader, I didn't mean that......" Ye Mengying thought that Li Ye was really angry, and hurriedly wanted to explain.
However, before Ye Mengying finished speaking, Li Ye couldn't hold back his smile anymore, and the corners of his mouth curled up and said, "Okay, I'm joking with you! Don't take it seriously!"
"Team Leader!"
After a simple joke, Li also began to tell Ye Mengying his own speculation.
First of all, the poison in Count Edward's house was given by the people in the castle, which is basically not disputed.
Because everyone in the castle, including the servants, is a vampire, so with the strong perception of vampires, there is no reason why if someone really breaks into the castle, it will not be discovered
Also, the poison in Count Edward has a short storage period, so it can't be poisoned by someone who has been to the castle a few days or more ago.
However, locking the suspected range of the poisoner does not mean that the suspected range of the murderer is also locked, because the real cause of Earl Edward's death was excessive blood loss, so it is unknown whether the poison was under the murderer.
Let's assume that the poison was the murderer's, but the murderer couldn't find a single hair at the scene, so why did the murderer leave the goblet with the residual poison at the scene?
The reason why the poisoned person chooses the Yang Burning Pill, a poison made from the combination of Golden Leaf Chrysanthemum and Wolf Poison Flower, must be because the Yang Burning Pill is fierce and fast, and it will disappear naturally after taking effect in the body.
In this case, there is no reason why the poisoner should not take away the goblet with the residual poison, because based on the characteristics of the Yang Burning Pill, if the goblet is not taken away, the police can track down the murderer through the poison, and taking away the goblet can obviously delay the police investigation time, or even disrupt the direction of the investigation.
So it is not difficult to deduce from this that the poison was not actually under the murderer.
After this inference is reached, two new conclusions will be reached: first, the murderer sneaked into the castle on the night when Count Edward was poisoned, and second, the murderer and the poisoner jointly committed the crime and conspired to kill Count Edward.
The former is not very likely, because the probability of such a coincidence happening is really low, and the poison in Count Edward is not fatal, if the poisoner is not to make it easier for the murderer, then what is the point of his poisoning?
Therefore, Lee is also more inclined to the latter conclusion, there is more than one murderer of Earl Edward.
But even if it was a conspiracy, the murderer should have taken the goblet with him when he cleaned up the scene, so why didn't he do that?
After thinking about it, Lee also came up with an extremely bold idea, the poisoner, the person who killed Count Edward, and the person who cleaned up the scene were actually three people, and the person who cleaned up the scene was originally an uninformed person, but later chose to cover up the truth for some reason.
And according to Lee's guess, the person who cleaned up the scene was Dick, because in terms of alibi, Dick was currently the most suspicious.
Come to think of it, it all seems to make sense, and Dick's lame alibi was made up because he had no idea that Edward was going to die, and even had to make up his own case by bribing the taxi driver.
The goblet with the residual poison still left at the scene can also be a testament to Li Ye's bold idea, because Dick did not know that the goblet contained poison and could be a clue, so Dick naturally did not take it away when he cleaned up the scene.
After listening to Li Ye's reasoning, Ye Mengying only felt that her brain was in chaos, and it took a long time for her to gradually sort out her thoughts, but she found that although Li Ye's reasoning was not too problematic from a logical point of view, it always made people feel a little too mysterious.
"Team leader, according to what you said, Dick is just a half-outsider who cleaned up the scene but did not participate in the crime, but why did he do that?" Ye Mengying asked his own question.
"That's a question I'm thinking about, but I don't have an answer yet. Li also took a sip of the sparkling water in the cup and replied with a wry smile.
"Team leader, even if your reasoning is correct, maybe Dick didn't know that someone was going to murder Earl Edward at first, but since he finally chose to help the murderer clean up the scene, then he must know something, even who the murderer was. Then let's just ask him?" Ye Mengying asked Li Ye in confusion.
"Do you think Dick will open his mouth when we don't have tangible proof?"
However, Li Ye's subsequent words immediately made Ye Mengying speechless, and after two contacts with Dick, he really didn't look like a person who would easily confide in the truth.
In the noisy bar, when everyone was carnivaling, Li Ye and Ye Mengying were discussing the case seriously like two outsiders, and they didn't seem to be affected at all, but at this moment, two young people in fancy clothes suddenly came over.
One of the taller ones stroked his hair, put on a posture that he thought was very chic, and greeted Ye Mengying: "Hey, Miss, my name is Wang Boxian, are you interested in getting to know him?"
Is this talking to me?
Looking at the young man named Wang Boxian in front of him, a question mark popped up in Ye Mengying's head, and he felt very novel.
Because although Ye Mengying is very beautiful, she really hasn't been accosted since she was a child.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested!" Ye Mengying shook her head and replied with a cold face.
Novelty is novelty, but now is working time, not to mention a person like Wang Boxian who dresses like a ruffian, Ye Mengying will not be the slightest interested in him.
"Miss, don't do this! Give me face! At least I told you my name, and you have to let me know what your name is!" After Wang Boxian was rejected by Ye Mengying, he was still shy and unwilling to leave.
"I'm sorry, no. Ye Mengying replied bluntly, originally she just didn't like Wang Boxian's dressing style very much, but now Wang Boxian's cheekiness made Ye Mengying feel even more disgusted with him.
Ye Mengying's ruthless refusal again made Wang Boxian's face show embarrassment, he touched his nose, and wanted to say something more, but the other young man who came with him finally couldn't help but step forward, raised his chin and said to Ye Mengying proudly: "Miss, do you know who our brother Wang is? Do you know how many little girls are lining up to please him? You even refused to say a name." ”
However, the young man's words not only did not make Ye Mengying change his mind, but made Ye Mengying more and more impatient, and simply gave the order to expel the guest, "I don't know who you are, Brother Wang? No matter how many people want to please him! In short, I don't want to know you, so I hope you can leave." ”
Li on the side also just started to see Ye Mengying being accosted, and he was interested in seeing how Ye Mengying would respond, but at this time, when he saw Ye Mengying answering so politely, he knew that things were not good.
Although Li didn't know exactly where this person named Wang Boxian came from, young people would definitely have a good temper when they drank in a bar, so Ye Mengying's answer would almost 100% cause conflicts.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Mengying's words fell, Wang Boxian's face suddenly became gloomy, and the young man slammed the table and shouted angrily at Ye Mengying: "I said you don't toast and don't eat and drink! My brother Wang wants to know you, that's your luck! If you don't give me brother Wang face like this, be careful that Lao Tzu will clean you up!"
Of course, the intimidation of the young man couldn't scare Ye Mengying, but she didn't know what to do about the entanglement of Wang Boxian and the two, so she could only turn her eyes to Li Ye beside her for help.
However, before Li Ye could speak, the young man saw Ye Mengying looking at Li Ye, thinking that Li was also Ye Mengying's boyfriend, so Ye Mengying behaved so coldly towards Wang Boxian.
So the young man immediately turned the spearhead at Li Ye, and said ruthlessly: "It turns out that there is a man! I said boy, my brother Wang has taken a fancy to your girlfriend, so if you know each other, hurry up and get out of me! Otherwise, beware of Lao Tzu giving you a discount on all three of your legs!"
In the face of the young man's provocation, Li did not respond, just glanced at the young man, and then smiled faintly.
However, although Li Ye didn't say anything, his performance made the young man feel that this was clearly a kind of contempt for him, which made the young man how to stand it.
"Boy, I'll make you laugh!" With the young man's roar, one of his fists beckoned to Li Ye's nose.
