Chapter 31: The Final Reasoning (Part II)
"First of all, I would like to ask you to take a look at the bloodstains around the corpse now. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Everyone looked at the place where Lines was pointing, and sure enough, the bright red blood had stained the floor red, and even flowed out of the toilet cubicle to the floor outside.
"Mr. Yasuo, do you remember the first time you stood outside the door and saw this room, did you see anything? ”
As if he didn't expect Lines to ask himself, Yasuo was slightly stunned.
"Hmm...... When I first saw it...... I guess I heard the little girl's scream and rushed here."
"That's right, you were standing outside the door and pulled out your knife and pointed at me, why did you react this way?"
Faced with Lines's somewhat strange question, Yasuo recalled carefully.
"I remember...... When I first saw this toilet, all I saw was the little girl standing at the door of the toilet, and then you were the only ones in the room standing there with blood on both hands, and I thought you were going to do something to this little girl before I pulled out the knife. ”
With that, Yasuo nodded, as if to confirm that he had not missed anything.
"Then why didn't you think I was a murderer at the time?"
At this time, Lines's eyes narrowed slightly, and Yasuo asked.
"Because I didn't see any dead bodies at that time, and there was no blood on the ground, I stood in the doorway without knowing that someone had been killed inside. ”
Speaking of this, Yasuo suddenly frowned, he felt that something was not quite right, but for a moment he didn't know what was wrong.
"That's right, here's the problem. ”
Lines nodded, pointing to the corpse.
"In the way the deceased's throat is slit, the blood should be spurting out like a fountain, and when I arrived in this toilet, I didn't see a trace of blood on the floor, I didn't even smell a little blood, but the clothes of the corpse were already stained blood-red, and only when I opened the door of the compartment did I see a large pool of blood and corpses in the compartment. ”
With that, Lines looked at the puddle of blood around the corpse again.
"What's more, there are so many wounds on the corpse, don't you think the amount of bleeding is a little less. ”
At this time, Blemon next to him scratched his head and interjected, "But even so, it is just an inconsequential detail, and there is actually no doubt, or rather, it doesn't mean anything." ”
"No, it's a very serious problem. ”
At this time, Lines's eyes sharpened.
"The body was put in the toilet for a very short time, and not even the blood that came out of the body spilled out of the cubicle. ”
At this time, Lines touched the corpse's clothes, and the original white shirt was already soaked with dark red blood, and it was already a little hard at this time.
"It has only been an hour since the body was found, but the blood stains on the deceased's clothes have dried in some places, and in some places have even formed lumps, indicating that the wounds on the body of the deceased were cut in another place before the deceased was placed here, and these blood stains were left at that time. ”
After saying that, Lines picked up the knife that fell from his waist and pointed to the blood stains on it to show everyone.
"And this knife has also been prepared by the murderer, and the blood stains on it have also coagulated into blood clots, indicating that it is not the one that slit the throat of the deceased, presumably the blood on Mr. Yasuo's long knife is the same as the blood on this dagger. ”
Yasuo pulled out the long knife, and sure enough, the blood on the long knife had already congealed into lumps, which was completely different from the blood that had just turned black on the ground.
"Therefore, we can infer that the murderer cut the wound on the body of the deceased earlier, made it bleed, and then collected the blood and smeared it on the dagger, as for the blood stains on Mr. Yasuo's knife...... Mr. Yasuo, please turn the scabbard upside down. ”
Hearing Lines say this, Yasuo turned the scabbard upside down, but unexpectedly, a large stream of dark red, viscous plasma actually flowed out of it.
Everyone was taken aback by this scene, and even Yasuo himself was surprised.
"If you kill someone with a sword, I'm afraid you won't shed so much blood in the scabbard. ”
Lines crouched down and touched the dark red plasma with his hand, from which a small amount of blood clots could be seen.
"Obviously, this is the murderer who poured the collected blood into Mr. Yasuo's scabbard, and when Mr. Yasuo inserts the sword back into the scabbard, the sword will naturally be covered with blood. ”
At this point, the eyes of everyone present had changed when they looked at Lines, and they felt that what the child standing in front of them said was obviously like a fantasy, but it was the only reasonable explanation.
"So, we can sort out the current clues and restore the original state of things. ”
Lines walked over to the deceased, not knowing what he was looking at.
"First of all, the murderer restrained the deceased, cut an opening on his body, and collected blood, judging from the fact that the clothes on the deceased's body were red with blood, but they were not messy, it should have been that the murderer was unconscious with something similar to drugs.
Immediately afterwards, the murderer smeared the blood of the deceased on the dagger that had been prepared long ago, and then waited in the toilet compartment for someone to come in, and after hearing the harsh sound, the murderer slit the deceased's throat to the ground, and then flipped through the gap above the compartment to another compartment, and then came out screaming to attract others.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Yasuo, who dared to come to the scene, drew his long knife and focused on the scene in front of him, so the murderer took the opportunity to pour the remaining blood into Mr. Yasuo's scabbard, and then, in the chaos, put the blood-stained dagger on my waist, so that everyone's attention could be focused on me and Mr. Yasuo."
Speaking of which, the people around him were already dumbfounded.
Sheriff Bremont, in particular, pointed with trembling fingers at the equally stunned mother and daughter over there, and said tremblingly:
"You...... Do you want to say, where is the real murderer?"
Lines nodded.
"That's right, that's what I'm trying to say. ”
