Chapter Eighty-Seven: Strange Reasoning
When the tea is drunk, people's minds are particularly refreshing.
Boiling tea and talking about jade, let the brothers express their feelings, this is the deep meaning of Cang'er. The more you feel, the more ideas you have, and the more ideas you have, the wider your thinking to solve the case will be.
Jiang Tao didn't accompany Cang'er to discuss the case, she had something important to show Jing Zhaoyin, she glanced at Du Sanye and Bian Dan, these two people she found to help Cang'er. Du Sanye and Bian Dan looked at Jiang Tao and smiled knowingly, everything was in plain sight.
Peach went first.
Cang Er smiled and watched the back of Jiang Tao disappear. He turned around and frankly announced to everyone the suspicion of the death of the smoker, and the evidence he currently has introduced the rise of the Happy Gate of the Danzhu Primeval Forest in southeast Guizhou and the murderous weapon "Zhuyeqing".
"Suspicious places, suspicious characters, suspicious murders, you do everything possible to imagine the murderer, imagine the motive for the killing, imagine the murder weapon, and imagine the murder method." The richer the imagination, the better, even if you are imaginative, even if you are whimsical. It's best to come up with a hundred ways to get close to the smoker and escape the scene, and there are always a few ways to get close to the truth. ”
There are a total of twenty catchers in the two cards of Fengyun, plus the total catcher and the old knife, there are twenty-two people, and five ideas for each person are enough.
Du Sanye and Bian Dan glanced at each other, it was difficult for these fledgling young people under him, the scenes of killing people were ever-changing, and there were countless ways to kill people. A specific time period, a specific place, a specific person, even if you are whimsical, even if you are imaginative, you can't be divorced from the actual situation.
Everyone used their brains and thought vigorously, and after a stick of incense, all kinds of ideas came together. Agree with and disagree with the murder of Happy Gate swordsmen, half of them.
After some argumentation, and a lot of really outrageous ideas were eliminated, Cang'er Luo listed several points of view that could be further explored.
The first point of view: the smoker died at the hands of the Happy Gate swordsman, and the killer ambushed in a small courtyard ten feet away from the window door of the murder scene, sending out a short knife with a bamboo handle, and more than half of the people present reached a consensus. The small courtyard was rented out, and the tenant was Mrs. Song, the owner of an antique shop opposite the teahouse, who had an affair with Happy Gate.
The second view is a supplement to the first: if the murder weapon in the smoker's body came from Mrs. Song's courtyard, there must be another accomplice. In addition to a knife in the chest, the smoker was also cut by the murderer with a full nineteen knives on his body, and it was almost impossible for the murderer who was ambushed in the small courtyard to complete these nineteen knives.
The third point of view: agree that the Happy Door Swordsman kills, there is a distance between the small courtyard and the teahouse, and the murderer is required to have extraordinary martial arts, and it is currently impossible to confirm that the Happy Gate Swordsman killed people ten zhang away, and it is very likely that it was a murder on the spot.
The fourth point of view: the bamboo handle short knife can be imitated, and it is not the bamboo leaf green that kills the smoke ghost, but a combination of murder weapons that are elusive. It looks like a throwing knife, a deadly move, and the mechanism opens when it is spinning, and it is derived into nineteen throwing knives to attack the victim's vital place, even if you turn into a ghost, you can't dodge it. This kind basically denies the murder of the Happy Gate Swordsman.
This kind of idea is obviously fanciful, but Cang'er hears it with relish. If there is a rare craftsman in a hundred years who is still in the world, it is difficult to keep what kind of magic weapons and sharp weapons appear in the rivers and lakes.
The fifth point of view: The murderer is Yan'er, the top brand of the Hibiscus Soup House. Although the women in the festival are open-minded when they see money, there may be connoisseurs among them. The smoker is generous on the surface, and he is warm enough to thank a jade or jade, but what he gets is a good product. If Yan'er saw the way and knew that she was being fooled, she would hate her and secretly kill. As for why the murder weapon is the same as the appearance of Zhu Yeqing, it needs to be verified.
The sixth is a bold speculation: the murderer of the smoker is none other than the tea master of the Golden Bud Teahouse. Everyone just listened to the tea master's appearance, and after Yan'er and the smoker entered the private room one after another on the afternoon of the first day of the new year, they never opened the door once, which means that no one entered during this period. In addition to the door, the private room also has a window facing the street. The murderer will never climb into the window in the street, kill someone and escape by jumping out of the window calmly? If the tea master had lied; If the tea master is a hidden happy doorman; If the tea master is not a member of the Happy Gate, and he left the bamboo handle short knife to blame the Happy Gate, what will be the result?
It was Du Sanye who made this speculation, and he overturned the almost definite fact at once: the Happy Gate Swordsman killed the four ghosts.
Cang'er couldn't even think of a reason to refute it. He spread out the rice paper, recorded the above six points of view neatly, and drew another picture, stringing arrows between the Golden Bud Tea House, Mrs. Song's antique shop, and Peach Blossom Lane.
The next step is to let all kinds of clues around the smoker sit down and verify various opinions.
Bian Dan led the Yundao brand to raid the He family's compound where the smoker lived in seclusion, and found a dark green jade bracelet at the head of the smoker's bedside. Yundao brand caught the front foot and returned to the patrol room, and Master He followed with the back foot. In order to get his dark green jade bracelet back, Master He said something about him, Su Yuanwai, and Mrs. Song.
※Two months ago, Su Yuan sent him to Mrs. Song's antique shop on Changjie to discuss a business. Su Yuanwai gave him three things: two letters, one package. One letter was addressed to Mrs. Song, and one was addressed to Master He himself. The package contained a lot of silver taels.
Master He opened the envelope given to him, and there was a silver ticket that was redeemed by the immortals, if it was this amount in the past, he wouldn't even blink an eye. Now it was not what it used to be, and the number of silver tickets made him excited, enough for him to go to a small gamble.
Master He thought to himself that Su Yuanwai might have learned that he was a genius in business, so he asked him to be a helper. But his idea was obviously wrong, and Su Yuanwai only asked him to give the other letter to Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song took the letter and the package, and the business was done, and the silver ticket blocked by the gods belonged to him.
Since he didn't need to speak, of course Master He couldn't ask for it, so he trotted all the way to Mrs. Song's antique shop and handed the letter to Mrs. Song in person.
Mrs. Song's face was quite ugly when she opened the letter, as if she had just swallowed a fly. As soon as Master He looked at Mrs. Song's expression, he knew that Su Yuanwai's business was playful, if he couldn't even see this, he would be a fool in the road.
Mrs. Song had to do this business. Mrs. Song counted the goods and packed them, saying that they would be sent to Su Yuanwai's house in person, but Master He refused, and when he went out, Su Yuanwai told him that the goods must be escorted back to the compound by himself.
Mrs. Song took the package. For Mrs. Song's jade jade, the silver taels given by Su Yuan were insignificant, just like sending a child.
Master He thought that Mrs. Song would be angry when she saw Yin Liang, but she just silently put it away and put it aside, with a depressed face. Master He thought to himself that Mrs. Song had something to do in the hands of Su Yuanwai, but a woman's family, even if she had any faults, she should open the net and not make a bad move. Master He scolded Su Yuanwai in his heart.
After that, Master He didn't have a good face for Su Yuanwai, and Su Yuanwai didn't know anything about talking to him as if he was dumb. Su Yuanwai felt bored, and quietly told Master He a secret: Mrs. Song sold all the products, and he had evidence to force her to submit and throw out this batch of products at a very low price.
Mr. He's words can be used as a court speech, and he expressed his gratitude, and he told Mr. He that the patrol room would handle the case impartially, and let Mr. He go back and wait for news.
In this way, Mrs. Guo's suspicion is greater, and she has a motive to kill, so that the truth will always become dumb.
This is the most primitive and effective method.
The first view is that eight or nine are not far from ten.
