Chapter 314: The Death of the Squad Leader
The dinner continued, the wine went through three rounds, the dishes passed five flavors, and everyone was a little upset under the influence of alcohol, and the atmosphere was warm again.
At that moment, there was a sudden "clang" sound above our heads, and it seemed that something heavy had fallen on the floor of the second floor. Although the rooms in this small building are well insulated, the solid sound transmission is still audible to everyone in the restaurant.
I narrowed my eyes, and it seemed that the case had finally happened, and the squad leader who stayed on the second floor was afraid that he would be more than lucky. Since this time period has been chosen to make a disturbance, then some of these people must be unable to sit still, after all, it is likely that this is the murderer's elaborate mechanism, so that he himself stayed with us in the dining room at the time of the incident, and we became his alibi.
"How... What's going on?" Li Nana was startled, and worry appeared on her cheeks, which were flushed by alcohol. "It seems to be a movement in the squad leader's room!" Zhou Zhen judged the direction of the voice and said, "Nothing will happen to the squad leader, right?"
He is very suspicious, in general, in this case, can it be inferred from the thinking of a normal person that the squad leader upstairs should have knocked over something, instead of bluntly saying that something happened to the squad leader. Moreover, Governor Zhou, like the squad leader, arrived on the island a day early, so there was plenty of time to prepare.
"We'll have to go up and have a look. Zhang Ke had already gotten up as he spoke, and walked towards the staircase. I find both of them very strange, as if they either know that something is going to happen, or they are hoping for it.
His proposal was well received, and we followed him upstairs. Due to the designer's genius, there is not a single external window on the entire second floor, and it is pitch black at this time. Zhang Ke, who was walking in the front, felt the switch on the wall and turned on the corridor light.
"Squad leader, are you okay?" Due to the narrow corridor, we could only stop in the back and watch Zhang Ke knock on the door. Like a groundhog, I stretched my neck as far as I could to see Zhang Ke's movements. He inquired and knocked on the door of the squad leader's room, but unexpectedly, the door that had been locked before the meal was now hidden, and it was opened with a little force.
The moonlight shone into the room through the open window, and it was a mess inside, as if it had been passed by a typhoon, and there was debris everywhere. The squad leader was lying on the ground, his head was covered with blood, and behind him was a chair with blood splattered on its back. The squad leader grabbed the pole of an old brass standing lamp in his right hand, as if trying to grab it to stabilize his body, but he fell down with the standing lamp. The loud response we heard downstairs was probably caused by the heavy thing coming into close contact with the floor.
"This..." Zhang Ke was stunned, and was stunned for a while. "Ahh
"Stand back, don't come in!" I slammed like a boar to the door, shouting at them not to come closer, I didn't want the scene to be ruined by a murderer or an idiot.
Now I don't have to think about fingerprints and shoe prints in this case, and by the time the public security department equipped with relevant technology landed on the island to investigate the case, Gong Bifei and I would have already returned to the nightmare space. The layout of the squad leader's room was similar to mine, and I easily found the location of the light switch.
"Whew... The incandescent lamps overhead were lit, and although the island had not been visited for a long time, the objects were still well preserved and there was no strike. I bowed down, although from the appearance of him was undoubtedly a corpse, but out of a responsible attitude I still touched the squad leader's carotid artery, no.
I stepped over the squad leader's corpse to the window, a building with no security nets, and people of normal size could easily climb out of the windows of each room. Outside the squad leader's room was a large tree planted in the courtyard, and it was not difficult for me to climb the tree to get in and out of the squad leader's room.
"What's wrong with the squad leader?" Wang Shengshuo was very excited, as if he wanted to squeeze into the room, but Gong Bifei grabbed his shirt from behind and asked him not to come in and make trouble for me. "Unfortunately, the squad leader died. "I tried my best to show sadness. Niuniu Chinese Network
"Someone has broken in! There must be someone else on the island!" Liu Xin pointed to the open window and shouted in a sharp voice, "It should be like this," Zhou Zhen's face was gloomy, "We were all downstairs just now, we can make alibi to each other, and no one left the table when the case happened." ”
"Definitely," I sneered, "the murderer is among us, no, you. "Oh?" Zhang Ke seemed to scoff, "Is the writer going to make up a story on the spot?"
"Su Ling, by the way, I would like to remind you, you didn't wear gloves and foot covers when you examined the corpse just now, this is already very unprofessional, if you want to pretend to be forced, forget it, human life is at stake," high school teacher Lin Li disdainfully what I did, "You are no longer the high school student you were back then, it's time to say goodbye to Secondary 2." ”
"Oh, it turns out that I was a secondary school student in high school, and I still yearn for it if I haven't experienced it..." "I'm sorry, I'm not pretending," I smiled slightly, "but I'm smarter than all of you, so I can see more." ”
"I want to hear about it. "Zhou Zhen didn't seem to be sarcastic about me, he seemed to really want to hear my judgment. "Squad leader, he didn't die at the dinner party just now, he was already out of breath before dusk!" I paused slightly, reasoning is generally that the great detectives of all walks of life will be more exemplary when they have a stalk when reasoning.
"Makes sense," Gong Bifei was very face-saving, "Think about it, when we first opened the door, there was no light on inside. The squad leader, he is working hard, and the lights still have to be turned on. "Perhaps, he's sleeping?" Li Nana said uncertainly. I didn't say a word, and gestured to the neat bed.
"It's hard to say if the squad leader is a sloppy person, but now this neatly packed bed looks like no one has ever been lying down. And there is another point that can support my thinking, the room is so messy, but the cabinet drawers have not been rummaged through, and there is no sign of scuffle at the scene, so why would the so-called intruder mess up the room?
"It's the wind," Gong Feifei was a little unsure, "this window may have been opened a long time ago, creating the illusion that someone had broken in." "Only this explanation makes sense at the moment. I agree.
"However, how to explain the sound of the squad leader falling?" Lin Li asked again, "Could it be that the dead squad leader jumped again?"
"Wait a minute, you can come in and touch the squad leader's body, it's already cold. I replied, "And the noise was made by the thing," I kicked the brass lamp that had fallen to the ground, "There's a term in forensic science called stiffness, which refers to the phenomenon of muscles becoming stiff and joints fixed for a period of time after death. If the squad leader's body were to be placed like me, it would gradually slide off the chair as the muscles stiffened. ”
I squatted and pretended to sit on a chair, leaning forward and pretending to be steady against the brass standing lamp, while resting my right hand on the lamp pole. But it seems like I'm a little too much performance art, and they can't understand it.
"I reserve my opinion, there may be other people on the island and we have to be careful. Lin Li was stubborn, "We'd better leave as soon as possible and contact the police." "It's a fart," Wang Shengshuo muttered, apparently distrustful of the police.
"Then it's impossible for us to solve the murder case by ourselves," Liu Xin said, "Do you really expect Su Ling? He's a criminal investigator who writes and knows a fart!" "Hehe..."The corners of my mouth twitched, this woman, I didn't mess with her, why bother...
"But we don't have a signal now, and the boat that picks us up won't arrive until a week," Gong Bifei asked after organizing the language, "We can't contact the police!" "That's easy to say," Zhou Zhen replied, "The squad leader carries a satellite phone with him in case of emergency." But I don't know where he is, and if I rummage through it, will it ruin the scene?"
"Let's do it in a hurry..."Lin Li said, "And this scene has also been destroyed, and it is no longer possible to keep it as it is." "She's still complaining about my way into the murder scene.
