That being the case, the second suspicion arises again.

Since the murderer was bent on taking Li Xinyi's life, why did he strangle him seven times?

Li Xinyi is a rich lady, and it has been confirmed by the girl that she is a delicate woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, so if the murderer has to be strangled seven times to cause Li Xinyi to die, then there are only two possibilities: one is that the murderer himself has disabilities in his hands and feet and cannot use his strength, and the other is that the murderer's height and strength are smaller than Li Xinyi's, and he is still a child.

But he soon overturned both possibilities.

The crime was clearly planned.

The murderer is familiar with the terrain of the Li family and is familiar with Li Xinyi's work and rest.

Because Li Xinyi likes the fragrance of flowers and plants, the boudoir is close to the back garden, and the back garden is connected to the Li family's charcoal store. If the murderer wants to sneak into Li Xinyi's boudoir through the zigzag corridor through the main entrance of the Li family without being discovered by the Li family's subordinates, the only way is to enter the back garden through Guò Charcoal or the plant rockery that has been lurking in the garden, and then sneak into the house to kill people while Li Xinyi has finished grooming and drinking and retreating from the personal girl to rest.

Homicide is never a whim.

In addition to the ropes that were cleaned up afterwards, there were also charcoal that could not be cleaned up.

The rope is used to kill people, and the charcoal is used to plug Li Xinyi's tongue to prevent her from calling for help and attracting the Li family.

However, the murderer ignored that the hot weather in August accelerated the occurrence of the corpse stiffen, and when the murderer recovered from the passion of the murder and went to take out the charcoal stuffed in Li Xinyi's mouth, the already stiff jaw joint stopped him.

So, if the murderer himself has crippled hands and feet, why not simply choose a more secure way to kill Li Xinyi - such as poisoning, such as using a sharp blade - and choose the method that he is least good at and the easiest to fail?

The murderer was able to carefully choose the time of the crime and carefully consider the tools of the murder, why was he so imprudent in the way of killing?

Illogical.

The killer was clearly not a crippled man.

So what about the second case, will the murderer be a child?

He thinks it's unlikely.

The murderer had a clear target and plan before committing the murder, and during the murder, he was bloodthirsty and ruthless, and after the murder, he calmly cleaned up the scene.

So cold, so calm, so sophisticated, even ordinary adults can't do it, let alone a child?

He always felt that there must be something in it that he hadn't straightened out, so the strange strangulation marks became the second suspicion.

The motive of the contradiction is the third.

According to the examination of the deceased's body spots, it was found that Li Xinyi was not killed lying on the bed, but was strangled to death while sitting and then moved to the bed.

If the murderer cleaned up the scene after the murder out of self-preservation, did he do too much to Li Xinyi?

First on the bed of the corpse, then on a neat face, and then with a silk handkerchief.

What else is there besides a deep confession that the murderer did?

Wrong!

The murderer is not a person who will blame himself at all.

The murderer regards life as a mustard, cold-blooded, cruel, greedy, and can calmly take away the jewelry of the deceased after committing the murder, such a person will blame himself?

He didn't believe it.

"If the murderer really grows into such a dignified face, where is there any need for adults to go to great lengths to lure him to show up with the folk girl as bait, and he can't be caught at a glance?" Shen Yueran flattened her mouth.

Wei Yi sighed in his heart, indeed, if the murderer looked so conspicuous, it would be easier.

Shen Yueran drank the soup in the bowl, brought a small pestle, and sat down not far from Wei Yi.

As for the case, she is not interested in knowing, she has another wishful thinking.

Since she is a big person, she is either rich or expensive, she must have a lot of silver in her pocket, plus the heroic temperament of buying thirty shortbreads in one go, and the compensatory psychology of treating her with delicacies after wronging her, if she doesn't seize this rare opportunity to knock on the bamboo bar twice and take advantage of it, wouldn't she be worthy of being Wu Zhaorong's sister-in-law?

"Who do you think is responsible for this case?" She thought about it and found an opening line.

Wei Yi raised his eyelids and spit out two words, "Confidential." ”

Shh

Shen Yueran rolled her eyes in her heart, but she made a cute expression on her face, "Don't you think it's the people's daughter?" ”

"There's no motive, there's no opportunity, and the means are not right." Since she was used as bait, of course, he thought that there was another real murderer in this case. However, Wei Yi didn't think that she should ask more questions about such a simple truth, so he stopped the pen in his hand and looked at her.

Shen Yueran covered her mouth and smiled, "Your Lord's words are exactly the same as last night." ”

She paused for a moment, and then said, "The folk girl once had an argument with Li Xinyi, and the adults saw it with their own eyes at the time, why do you think that the folk girl has no motive?" It is not uncommon for people to kill people impulsively because of the war of words. ”

"It's a lot, but you won't." Wei Yi said.

"Why?" Shen Yueran tilted her head, and a warmth rose inexplicably in her heart.

"Character."

"Character?"

"Yes." Wei Yi said, "You have long been accustomed to the people around you sneering at you, maybe you yourself live in cynicism. Some words, some things, may be a shame to put on others, but for you to take it for granted. Your conflict with Li Xinyi is not worth mentioning to you at all. I don't think a cheeky person can kill someone impulsively because he doesn't say the right thing. ”

Just now he was wronged by his sister-in-law, neighbors, and the Li family, and he was in court, and he could let go of his appetite and sleep in a blink of an eye, and all her reactions could only make him come to a conclusion - she was only interested in whether she was wronged, and she didn't mind how the people around her saw her and said that she didn't mind at all. How can a person who doesn't mind what others think or say at all kills because of a battle of words?

The corners of Shen Yueran's mouth twitched, and she scolded in her heart, why should you judge me and just say that I have no face and no skin? ! Are you going to pay me back your innocence or take the opportunity to scold me, megalomaniac!

"What, I'm not right?" Wei Yi couldn't help but laugh when she looked like she wanted to scold but couldn't scold.

"Yes, yes, the big people are discerning, and the people admire it." Shen Yueran laughed dryly twice, and said, "Where did the big man say that there is no chance?" ”

Wei Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Acquaintance, this murder was committed by an acquaintance, and you are not an acquaintance of Li Xinyi or the Li family." ”

Since Li Xinyi was killed while sitting, it means that she was awake when she was killed. With the doors and windows intact, only acquaintances can quietly enter the room and kill Li when he is unprepared.

Moreover, the murderer did not run away immediately after the killing, but stayed for a while.

He suspected that this acquaintance might not be as simple as "familiar", but also a member of the Li family.

There are only three people in the Li family, Mr. Li, Mrs. Li and Li Xinyi, and the rest are all subordinates of the Li family and charcoal workers who occasionally come and go. Master Li and Mrs. Li went out to attend the wedding banquet that night, and they had no time to commit the crime, let alone a motive. He locked his eyes on the Li family and the charcoal workers.
