Chapter 163: Forced Kiss
The guests huddled together uneasily, looking around and whispering something.
"Officer Zhao, please ask someone to take the confessions of these guests and see if they can find anything from them. Yunmi said.
"Good. Zhao Xiaojun gave the order, and Zhuo Ling also walked to the hall, choosing a few targets to go over and ask in person, and the big man followed behind him.
Gu Yue and Yun saw that the two of them were standing at the top of the stairs on the upper floor, and everyone in the hall could be observed at this height.
Time passed minute by minute, most of the guests in the hall began to sit still, and Zhuo Ling and Fu Chuan also returned.
"Their confessions are relatively consistent, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them. "Zhuo Ling came to Gu Yue's side, "I made a special inquiry, and Zhang Tianye ran out after kissing the bride forcibly, as if he was going to the rooftop of the hotel to take some breath." It didn't take long for him to jump off the building. ”
"How many people here know him?" Gu Yue asked, looking at the people in the hall who were about the same age as Zhang Tianye.
His attention just now had been focused on these people who might be Zhang Tianye's college classmates. In any case, Zhang Tianye is still the key figure in this incident, and if he wants to break through, he still has to start with the people around him.
Although there were many guests in the hall, judging from Zhang Tianye's previous soul transfers, it was obvious that the other party was someone he knew. In this way, the range of suspects is greatly reduced.
Zhuo Ling went to inquire in person, naturally he also thought of many questions, and he raised his chin towards the two wine tables in the northwest corner of the hall, "Those two tables are the college classmates of Zhang Tianye and the bride and groom." ”
Gu Yue and Yun saw that the two nodded, compared to the noise of the other guests, the people at the two tables were quieter. Gu Yue calculated, there were ten people at a table, and there were exactly twenty people. Zhang Tianye, who is the best man, is arranged at the table of the bride and groom.
"After knowing that these two tables were college classmates, I didn't ask any more in-depth. Zhuo Ling said and pointed to the tables behind, "But I inquired with the guests at the back tables, and when Zhang Tianye forcibly kissed the bride, there was nothing suspicious in the people at these two tables. ”
Zhuo Ling naturally did this to avoid startling the snake, judging from Zhang Tianye's description of the previous soul transfers, in the transfer of his forced kiss to the bride this time, if the murderer was hidden between these two tables of college classmates, Zhang Tianye's soul would appear on the murderer for a short time, then he might do something to save or attract everyone's attention.
It's just that they were disappointed that the answers they got were all normal, or that everyone's attention was all on the table at the time, so they ignored it.
"I got what the photographer was shooting at the time. At this time, Zhao Xiaojun walked over and waved the camera in his hand to the four people.
Several people found a small box, and a police officer brought a notebook, and Zhao Xiaojun imported the video content taken in the camera into the notebook and enlarged it for everyone to view together.
The process at the beginning is similar to any other wedding, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. When it came to the part where the bride and groom and the groomsmen and bridesmaids danced together, Gu Yue and the others began to hold their breath and stare at the screen without blinking.
In the shot, the groom and bride stand at the front to lead the dance, followed by four groomsmen and four bridesmaids. When the dance was halfway through, Zhang Tianye suddenly stepped out, pushed away the unprepared groom along the dance steps, and then grabbed the bride, lowered his head and kissed him.
The scene began to fall into chaos, and the audience gradually became noisy. Then Gu Yue saw that the bride seemed to be struggling, and then the groom reacted, took a few steps forward and pulled Zhang Tianye away, and greeted him with a fist without saying a word.
Zhang Tianye didn't know if he was stunned or the sequelae after the soul was transferred back, so he stood on the stage in a daze. The camera shook for a moment, and it is estimated that the photographer was also confused by this sudden situation. After the camera stabilized, it was already the scene where Zhang Tianye roared and ran out of the hall.
Several people watched it several times, but they didn't find any suspicions, and the photographer was shooting on the ceremonial platform at that time, and almost no photos were taken of the two tables of college classmates under the ceremonial platform, so it cut off the clues that Gu Yue and a few people were eager to know.
"The period from Zhang Tianye pushing the groom away to kissing the bride forcefully should be enough for Zhang Tianye to react after the soul transfer. And he knew that we had police officers secretly protecting him, why didn't he ask them for help, but ran out alone to give the murderer a chance?" Gu Yue rubbed his eyebrows, straightened up and asked.
"Didn't he say last time that the soul transfer would cause dizziness, could it be because the time was too short and he hadn't had time to react?" Zhao Xiaojun raised a possibility.
"The transfer time of the strong kiss is short, so what about jumping off the building?" Zhuo Ling sat on the corner of the table and looked at a few people, "If he kills, there should be another soul transfer before he jumps off the building, isn't it too late to react this time?"
"The soul shifts, which will suddenly change the perspective, plus the dizziness, is not something that can be reacted to all at once. Suppose he was transferred again before jumping off the building after he forcibly kissed his bride. The interval between the two transfers is too short, and the perspective switch is too fast, which is the same as the fact that we are being trampled back to the past. ”
Gu Yue's expression was calm, and when he mentioned this terrible memory, he didn't even frown, "At that time, we had memory biases, and he or there would be other deviations." Another point, if he had jumped off the stairs after being transferred, he would have to watch himself fall to his death. ”
"It's miserable!"
Indeed, as long as the murderer grasps the timing and transfers Zhang Tianye's soul at the moment of jumping downstairs, then Zhang Tianye may not even have a chance to call for help except for shouting.
Everyone in the box fell silent, and the big man saw that Yun Jian had been repeating the clip of the forced kiss, so he leaned over and asked, "Senior brother, did you find anything?"
"Look here," Yunmi paused the video and pointed to the bride's struggling body, "It's not like a gesture of rejection." ”
Gu Yue and a few people also came over, rewinding the video to the place proposed by Yun Jian for slow playback, and found that this was really the case.
Although the bride's body was struggling, her feet took a small step forward and approached Zhang Tianye. Yun saw that he pressed the pause just right at this time, and Zhao Xiaojun's eyes suddenly widened, because of this posture, it looked like the bride was kissing Zhang Tianye.
"Is this a visual error or ......" Gu Yue and Yun Jian glanced at each other, if it was the latter, then this matter was far from that simple.
The bride forcibly kissed Zhang Tianye, why is this?
Could it be that the bride is the one who carried out the soul transfer with Zhang Tianye?
Gu Yue and a few people still remember what the police officer who came to report before said, Zhang Tianye had pursued the bride, so this is a love killing?
"Officer Zhao, please investigate the relationship between Zhang Tianye and the bride and groom to see if there is any emotional dispute between them. Yun Jian said to Zhao Xiaojun on the side.
"Okay!" Zhao Xiaojun immediately ordered.
"If the bride is really the one who can transfer souls, then it makes sense that Zhang Tianye didn't ask the police for help after knowing it. Moreover, when the soul was transferred on the stage, it was reasonable that the college students at the two tables did not notice the abnormality. Zhuo Ling hugged his arms.
"And that's how the case is over?" The big man is still a little incredible, if the bride is the ghost who carried out the soul transfer, then she is the murderer, and now that all three of them are dead, the case is over.
I thought it was a difficult case to solve, but I didn't expect it to come to an end so easily, and they didn't even see the red-eyed figure.
"Is that really the case?" Gu Yue frowned, always feeling that there was something unreasonable.
"Boss, no. A police officer pushed open the door of the box and said to several people, "One guest, for unknown reasons, suddenly burst out, smashed a bottle of wine on the table without warning, and then took the bottle and slit his own throat." ”
"What's going on?" Zhao Xiaojun's head was about to get bigger, and he and Gu Yue rushed out of the box and headed for the hall.
There was chaos in the hall, and the wedding turned out to be so much that everyone was uneasy. Fortunately, the self-harming guest was found by the police at the scene in time and has been sent to the hospital for treatment.
But the other guests began to make a fuss, and many children were instigated by the adults, crying and clamoring to go home. There were also a few guests who said that this place was evil and unlucky, and they also shouted to leave, and some people said that Zhao Xiaojun and others were illegally detained and wanted to sue them.
"What should I do?" Since the guest had harmed himself for no reason, Zhao Xiaojun also knew that the murderer was not the dead bride, but someone else.
Not only that, but the killer is now inciting other guests to find ways to get out of here. Once he is allowed to leave, it will be even more difficult for his people to find him again.
"He's warning us. Gu Yue looked at the noisy guests quietly, with no expression on his face, "If we don't let people go, we will only get more people hurt." ”
"It's really a little unwilling to let him go like this. Zhuo Ling scratched his hair a little irritably, and the big man sighed beside him.
"Well, I'll have my officers take pictures of each guest here, and then let them go. In this way, the next time you look for them, you won't have no clues. ”
Gu Yue exchanged opinions with each other and nodded, "That's the only way." ”
Zhao Xiaojun started to take charge of the registration matters, and Gu Yue leaned against the wall opposite the registration desk, paying attention to the expressions of the registered guests, and thinking about the things he couldn't figure out.
Now it seems that the murderer is still among the guests, so the bride is not a ghost. But if she wasn't, what was the murderer's purpose for letting the bride forcibly kiss Zhang Tianye?
