Chapter 520: Blizzard Mountain Villa Murder (15)
Only one person could do something like this.
That's Kelly's husband, Gibson.
Gibson and Kelly get along day and night, and it is not difficult to imitate her handwriting. And the person who was able to put the note in McGovern's pocket that day was most likely Gibson.
Robert, Daniel, and McGovern were playing the cards, and Kelly was dealing the cards, so their attention was naturally on the table.
And Gibson, who was watching the game from the sidelines, no one noticed his movements, and no one would pay attention......
"Detective Lin, in this way, if Gibson had forged Kelly's handwriting to write that note, his motive must have been to teach McGovern, who was at odds with his wife—presumably, as a husband, Gibson knew a little bit about Kelly and McGovern. Sergeant George thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Daniel took over the conversation, glanced at McGovern meaningfully, and said, "There is also a possibility that Gibson suspected that his wife was having an affair with McGovern, so he deliberately set this trap to conduct a test. As expected, McGovern was happy to go to the appointment, so Gibson cleaned up McGovern......"
After a pause, Daniel seemed to understand something, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh, Detective Lin, could it be that McGovern figured out that the person who attacked him was Gibson afterwards, so he killed the killer?"
"No! I didn't know it was Gibson who attacked me!" McGovern said aloud, "Besides, Gibson died between 14 and 16 p.m., and I was unconscious at the home of Medical Examiner Kevin, who was by my side all the time. Even though Dr. Kevin is now killed, he has given testimony in front of him!"
Daniel sneered and said, "Presumably you used some tricks, such as secretly adjusting Kevin's watch, and letting Kevin testify for you." Afterwards, you are worried that Kevin will eventually find out about your scheme, so you don't hesitate to kill people! McGovern, you guys with a beast's face, don't talk about killing Gibson, you even killed the unrelated Kevin forensic doctor!"
"No! it's not like that! I'm not a murderer!" McGovern swooped to his feet, blushing and shouting loudly.
Sergeant George looked at McGovern, then at Daniel, and finally turned his gaze to Lin Lei and asked, "Detective Lin, could it be that McGovern really used some tricks or tricks to make Kevin forensic see the wrong time, and then kill people afterwards......?" Not very reliable, right?"
Lin Lei smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Of course it's unreliable." At this time, the scenes that often appear in detective TV dramas, the possibility of happening in reality is almost 0. ”
Hearing what Ray said, McGovern let out a sigh of relief, glared at Daniel viciously, and then sat back on the couch.
Daniel frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Detective Lin, why is it impossible?"
Lin Lei explained: "First of all, Mr. Kevin is a forensic doctor – since he is a forensic doctor, he must have a lot of medical knowledge. McGovern is not unconscious, maybe he can disguise in front of ordinary people, but in front of an experienced forensic doctor, if he wants to pretend to be unconscious, then McGovern is really in the right person......"
After a pause, Lin Lei continued: "Secondly, Kevin is a forensic doctor, and he must have two identities. The so-called forensic medicine is the policeman among the doctors, and the doctor among the police. Since he is a police officer, Kevin is very concerned about time, and it is absolutely impossible to mistake the time. Even if McGovern used any tricks, Kevin couldn't have been tricked by any tricks for a full two hours. What's more critical is that Kevin later made an alibi for McGovern from 14 to 16 o'clock, which is more sensitive, and Kevin will definitely think clearly and testify without any mistakes or omissions. ”
As soon as Lin Lei explained this, everyone present understood, and they all showed convincing expressions.
If the possibility of Kevin and McGovern conspiring to commit the crime is ruled out, then McGovern must not be the murderer of Gibson.
And judging from all aspects, Kevin and McGovern have no intersection, and the possibility of conspiracy between the two can be ruled out.
Now the case seems to come back to a logical question.
Gibson attacked McGovern and disguised him as a hanged scene—what was the purpose of doing so?
Practical joke?
The likelihood is extremely low.
On the other hand, the ultimate fact is that Gibson was killed. So in terms of causality, the so-called antecedents have consequences, then Gibson, who attacked McGovern, died, and McGovern himself was naturally the biggest suspect.
But McGovern has a "perfect alibi" proof!
No matter how you look at this case, it is also foggy and contradictory.
Everyone present had a puzzled look on their faces, everyone look at me, I look at you, I can't figure it out at all......
Lin Lei took in everyone's doubts, only smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Then I'll uncover the truth about Gibson's attack on McGovern now." ”
Everyone focused their eyes on Lin Lei, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, and the air was filled with the smell of nervousness.
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "The great man once said that there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason - Gibson actually took a huge risk by doing this, and if he didn't have enough reasons, he didn't have to be so risky." ”
Who is the "great man" in Lin Lei's mouth, these Westerners in front of him naturally don't know, and no one wants to get to the bottom of it at this time - they all nodded their heads and expressed their approval, all showing expectant looks, waiting for Lin Lei to uncover the mystery.
"Gibson did this for a very simple reason - it was to show somebody, to let that person see that McGovern had hanged himself in the cabin!" said Lin Lei unhurriedly.
Everyone gasped, and their eyes widened one by one, revealing an incredible look!
Oh, yes!
What Lin Lei said is not bad at all!
Gibson has done so many things, isn't the simplest explanation just to show others?
But—
Why?
Why?!
What was the purpose of creating a scene where McGovern was killed and showing it to someone?
What is the meaning of this?
But—
Even if someone watches it, so what?
Sergeant George felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and asked in a low voice, "Detective Lin, who is Gibson going to show it to?
Lin Lei nodded slightly, and said word by word: "I don't know if Sheriff George has noticed that there is a person who has been preoccupied with a lot of things since he entered Cook Hills, and he is mysterious, and finally disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown......"
"It's Ríos! I've always thought he's suspicious, but there's no evidence. Sergeant George immediately took over Lin Lei's words.
Lin Lei said in a deep voice: "Gibson did these things just to show Rios!"
"It's for Ríos—" Sheriff George became more and more confused, unable to keep up with the pace of Ray's thoughts.
Lin Lei continued to explain: "Rios has a lot on his mind, which means that he has something on his mind. The person who summoned everyone to this party was also Ríos, which means that he must have wanted to do something at the party......"
After a pause, Lin Lei then said to himself: "What to do? What will make Rios worry and hesitate again and again?
"Uh, this...... This ......" Sergeant George smiled awkwardly, shook his head, and said, "I really can't think of it." ”
Lin Lei glanced coldly at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Of course it's - killing!"
"Ah——!" Robert, who hadn't spoken much, exclaimed and blurted out: "Detective Lin, do you mean that Rios is the murderer?"
Lin Lei's eyes deepened, and he was silent.
The horror in everyone's hearts has reached the extreme, and they feel more and more like a mess in their heads, and they can't figure out what the whole thing is going on......
Lin Lei took a deep breath, and then said something earth-shattering: "Rios has been killed, he didn't abscond from the crime at all!"
"What, Rios is dead?" Sergeant George opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened.
Lin Lei was silent again, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "This case is far more complicated than I imagined - it must be difficult for you to figure it out, but I found the final answer, and then pushed back the case." There are some things that I can't say are necessarily correct, because Gibson and Rios are dead, but I can assure you-"
Lin Lei's eyes started with Robert, swept over Daniel, and then swept over McGovern: "No murderer can escape the punishment of the law from under my Lin Lei's nose!"
Everyone is completely in a state of bewilderment - it can no longer be described as surprised, everyone is like a wooden man, motionless, everyone listened to the "decryption" for a long time, or "confused", the complexity of this case, there is no one......
Lin Lei was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I don't know where to start, the case is indeed too tortuous and bizarre, and then there have been various dramatic changes - well, I'll make a long story short, let's uncover the mystery directly!"
After a pause, Lin Lei continued: "The cause of the case should be a very rare exchange killing!"
"Swap killing?" asked Sheriff George in shock.
Lin Lei nodded and replied, "Yes." Although I don't know what happened to Rios and McGovern for the time being, if my reasoning is correct, the truth of the matter is that Gibson and Rios agreed that Gibson would kill McGovern and Rios would kill Daniel. ”
Everyone was completely stunned, completely stunned, no one spoke, all of them opened their mouths wide, and looked at Lin Lei incredulously.
After a long time, Lin Lei set his eyes on McGovern and asked coldly, "What kind of grudge do you have with Rios?"
McGovern knew he couldn't hide it, sighed, and replied, "Well, I bragged before that I knew a stock speculator, so Rios took a large sum of money and asked me to help him find a stock speculator to invest in, and the result—"
What the result is, that's obvious.
McGovern is a hunting instructor and his clients are many of the big tycoons. He boasted that he knew so-and-so, such as Soros and the like, and the money-obsessed Ríos believed it, so he asked him to match him for investment.
The result must have been that McGovern swallowed the money, and then said that the stock speculation failed......
Of course, Lin Lei didn't know about these inside facts - but Lin Lei was very sure that there must be a grudge between Rios and McGovern, so there was a "swap killing......
Next, Lin Lei told the terrible truth of the case that he deduced.
Gibson owes Daniel a large sum of money, and Rios hates McGovern.
The two men don't know who came up with it, Gibson helps Rios kill McGovern, and Rios helps Gibson kill Daniel.
The biggest purpose of "exchange killing" is the so-called "motive killing".
Gibson had no motive to kill McGovern, and Rios had no motive to kill Daniel - but Gibson wanted Daniel dead, and Rios wanted McGovern dead!
So, the exchange killing hit it off.
McGovern is dead, and because Gibson had no motive to kill, the police would not suspect him.
And Daniel is dead, Rios did not kill the farmer, and the police will not suspect him either.
All the exchange killings are for this purpose......
When Lin Lei told the cause of the case, everyone was stunned, and the more Sergeant George listened, the more wrong he became, and asked Lin Lei in a low voice: "Detective Lin, it's not right! McGovern is not dead, Daniel is not dead! On the contrary, Gibson is dead, and you say that Rios is also dead...... This, that's not right at all!"
Lin Lei said with a smile: "Yes! It's not right at all! The whole incident was originally designed to be an exchange of killings, but then a major turning point occurred - the person who was killed in the original design was alive, and the person who was originally the murderer was killed instead!"
After a pause, Lin Lei's eyes deepened again, and he said lightly: "There is a lot of fog, a lot of fog - this case can be ranked in the top three among the cases I handle." It's too complicated, it's too dramatic. ”
After saying this, Lin Lei took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, put it in his mouth and chewed it: "The first change in the case is very interesting, that is, Gibson was selfish, he didn't kill McGovern at all, he just did a 'prank', so that Rios thought he had killed McGovern - in fact, the reason is very simple, because Kelly and McGovern are a little unclear, and the police will definitely investigate this matter after the incident, so of course Gibson has a motive to kill McGovern! But, but- Gibson played a trick, he didn't kill McGovern, but deceived Rios, and the ultimate goal was to let Rios kill Daniel!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Lei said the second earth-shattering sentence: "Next is the second change in the whole incident - that's right, the second major change, the real murderer has appeared......"
"Who is the real murderer?" Sergeant George blurted out.
Lin Lei glanced at everyone again, and finally stared at a person with goosebumps.
Lin Lei squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Don't you want to say something......?"
