Chapter 344: Thoughtful and Shallow Reasoning
Ever since he saw Emmanuel's modus operandi, Li Mi knew that sooner or later he would have to use this cult leader.
It's just that Li Mi's original plan was entirely because of Emmanur's rare surgical dissection techniques in this era, and he didn't think about anything on the psychological level.
After Suo Changsheng followed Li Mi, Li Mi didn't have to worry about the autopsy, and now that he had a microscope, he didn't have too many worries.
In such a situation, Li Mi had to reconsider the role of Emmanur, until Mao Qiuchi was killed in the room of the Imperial Book Pavilion of the Tiger Hill Poetry Society, and Li Mi finally had an idea.
That is to let Emmanuel serve as a crime profiler, let him speculate and simulate the psychological changes of the murderer, assess the murderer's psychological state and danger level, and even find out the murderer's crime pattern through this highly immersive simulation, and even reenact the murderer's crime process, so as to speculate the murderer's possible escape route!
It's just that what Li Mi didn't expect was that Emmanuel was good at demagoguery, and in the process of analysis, he was constantly tempting and seducing Li Mi, and even once awakened the darkness in Li Mi's heart!
When Li Mi asked him for his opinion, he actually asked Li Mi what to do if Li Mi was the murderer, and Li Mi was not happy at the moment.
"Although this official is not a good person, he is not bad enough to kill and abuse corpses, let you figure it out, it is precisely because of what you said, the murderer is the same person as you, and he is not all the way with this official, let this official think on behalf of him, and he will not get similar results."
Li Mi explained like this, and he was also very sober, and Emmanuel was inevitably a little disappointed, although he knew that Li Mi was an extremely tenacious, intelligent and assertive person, and it was difficult to succeed in seduction, but he still had a lot of expectations.
Now that he heard Li Mi's answer, Emmanuel can be regarded as dead in this heart, and said to Li Mi.
"The analysis of the adult's suitability is reasonable, but this reasonableness is only for normal people, and it is not applicable to this murderer."
When Li Mi heard this, he glanced at Emmanuel and motioned for him to continue his analysis.
Emmanuel walked to the door and said to Li Mi, "My lord, look, there are two deadbolts on the ground, which means that he broke into the door, and it is not what the adults thought, what to use to attract the attention of the dead. ”
"Only a sudden catastrophe will inspire the fear of these mortals!"
Emmanuel said so, but Li Mi didn't agree, if he broke into the door, Mao Qiuchi would inevitably be awakened and even scream, and it was impossible not to make a sound when he hit the door, let alone not to alarm others!
Li Mi walked to the door, picked up the deadbolt, and checked the fracture, it was indeed broken from the outer ear, the fracture was uneven, and the tear line was very long, it should be broken by brute force, but it was in line with Ermanuel's speculation.
Li Mi looked at the card slot on the door again, but shook his head, and said to Emmanuer: "Your idea is very good, but unfortunately it is not true, you see, the bolt card slot is smooth and round, and there are no fresh traces, if the door is broken strongly, the door bolt is broken, why is there no trace on the card slot?" This is unscientific! ”
This is the difference between Emmanur and Li Mi, and even Li Mi is different from others, in ancient times, there were too many subjective assumptions involved in the investigation of cases, but Li Mi likes to speak with evidence.
Emmanur's psychological profile of the murderer is important, but it is only a reference, not as evidence, let alone directly regarded as the truth.
In the end, Emmanuel is just an assistant, Li Mi hopes to find a breakthrough point and direction from his speculation, in this regard, Emmanuel is passing, and even doing very well, which is not without help to Li Mi.
When Emmanu heard this, he also came over to check the deadbolt and card slot, and found that Li Mi's guess turned out to be correct!
"If it hadn't broken in, how could this deadbolt break?" After all, Emmanuel is not a professional criminal investigator, and he is a little unable to see through it at this time.
Li Mi is holding Zhizhu, since it is not a broken door, but the broken door bolt can only be an illusion created by the murderer in order to deceive the investigators!
This also shows that the murderer has extremely strong anti-investigation capabilities, and is even very familiar with the methods and processes of handling cases at that time, and it is even very likely that he is a public person!
Since it was not broken by breaking the door, then the bolt was deliberately broken, the bolt was as thick as the palm of the hand, and it was difficult to split it with a foot or a palm, after all, the bolt was still too short, so Li Mi searched in the room.
He had searched it earlier, and it was not difficult at this time, and he soon found the Pixiu copper paperweight on the table, which was thick enough, and when he opened it, the bottom was really concave.
The texture of the copper is still relatively soft, Li Mi came to the windowsill again, and a piece of the green brick also collapsed, and there were some brick crumbs on the ground, so that the picture in his mind was complete.
After committing the crime, this person pulled out the deadbolt of the door, pressed one end on the blue brick of the windowsill, and then knocked the deadbolt with copper paperweight, creating the illusion of breaking into the door and brutally killing people, which was used to confuse the investigating officials.
Seeing that Li Mi had repeated this process, Emmanuel shook his head again and said to Li Mi: "Your Excellency, even if this process is confirmed, what is the use? ”
Li Mi smiled slightly and said: "The effect is great, you have also seen the door bolt, it is not a rotten thing, if it is a woman, even if she is with art, one hand holds the end of the door bolt, and the other hand uses a copper paperweight, it is difficult to break the door bolt, so the murderer should be a man!" ”
"Again, if you don't break down the door, there is no sign of the window opening, and there are no footprints on the windowsill, it can only indicate one problem."
Emmanur was inspired by Li Mi step by step, his thoughts became clearer, his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Mi.
"Does it mean that the deceased took the initiative to let the murderer in?"
"Exactly!"
"Then who will the deceased let in? The organizers of the Tiger Hill Poetry Society, the maids and slaves who served him, or the retinue he brought, or the people he knew? There are no witnesses, how can we judge? ”
Emmanur asked a bunch of questions, but Li Mi had already thought about it.
"The Tiger Hill Poetry Club has come to an end, how can it come to the door in the middle of the night? Mao Qiuchi is the chief official of the Institute of Reasoning, he is cautious, he is not an acquaintance, and he will not let him in. ”
"If it's a woman, it's more likely to be put in, after all, it's a man, but Shicai has already learned from the door bolt that the woman is constantly splitting the door bolt, so it won't be a woman, so the murderer should be a man who is familiar with Mao Qiuchi!"
"If it's a friend, it will seem strange to come over in the middle of the night, why can't we wait for tomorrow to talk? Or is there something urgent about him? ”
"When I came to participate in the poetry meeting, the focus was naturally the poetry meeting, but Sun Zhiru has proved that the poetry meeting will continue as usual, there are no variables, and there is nothing that needs to be notified at short notice, that is, it can only be a personal private matter."
"Personal matters will involve Mao Qiuchi's friends, this is not the first time he has participated in the poetry meeting, but it is the first time to enter the semi-finals of the Yushu Pavilion, and there are no friends ...... him who lives in the Yushu Pavilion."
Li Mi analyzed that at this point, Emmanur has already drawn a rough range!
"You mean his entourage?!"
Li Mi nodded and said, "It must be the case, the other person is dead, who is the one who screams?" ”
When Emmanur was asked by Li Mi like this, he thought about it, after all, he did not have a comprehensive understanding of the case as Li Mi, so it was inevitable that he would hesitate, but Li Mi asked and answered himself.
"It's his entourage!"
"This retinue is the first discoverer, and his confession has the most direct effect, because he should have waited in the small room outside, so as not to need to serve Mao Qiuchi in the middle of the night, if someone came to the door, he must have known, but he ...... But I didn't tell the truth! ”
"His master is dead, why doesn't he tell the truth?" Emmanuel asked, puzzled.
Li Mi smiled: "Because the entourage also knows the murderer, he is covering up the crime for the murderer!" ”
"Covering up the crime for the murderer? Who is worth the risk of covering up? He's just a slave who can't help himself......"
Seeing that Emmanuel was so engaged, Li Mi also smiled, but at this time, a voice came from outside the door.
"Naturally, he wants to cover it up, because that person is also his immediate boss!"
Song Zhiwei walked in from outside and said to Li Mi: "Brother Xian's inference is really wonderful, and Brother Fool also admires it very much!" ”
Li Mi looked at Song Zhiwei's smile, and knew that Song Zhiwei understood Li Mi's guess, so he said to Song Zhiwei.
"Brother Song also thought of it?"
Song Zhiwei waved his hand and said: "Shicai can't bear to interrupt, so he has been listening outside, and the virtuous brother will re-enact the whole process. ”
"I just didn't expect that this Yang Zhenfan would have such courage!"
Yang Zhenfan mentioned by Song Zhiwei is the prosecution case of the Yamen of the Liwen Institute, and only the Yamen of the Daming Liwen Institute is a liuguan, and the rest are officials and officials.
If there was no Li Mi who fell from the sky, Yang Zhenfan would still be the deputy manager, but after Li Mi was appointed as the deputy secretary, Yang Zhenfan was forced to be demoted by one level, from the deputy secretary to the accusation.
From this point of view, even if Yang Zhenfan wants to kill someone, he should do something to Li Mi, why did he choose Mao Qiuchi?
Besides, this murderer is a serial murderer, if Yang Zhenfan is really a murderer, under the cover of the official position of the Institute of Justice, no one can find out about his crimes, I am afraid that I don't know how many people have been killed over the years!
Song Zhiwei saw that Li Mi frowned, so he said to Li Mi: "This is the matter of the Institute of Reason, the elder brother needs to avoid suspicion, this matter will be handed over to the official yamen to do, Yang Zhenfan is not here to participate in the poetry meeting, he should have knocked on Mao Qiuchi's door through the urgent affairs of the yamen, but he didn't kill the entourage, which is a little incomprehensible......"
Li Mi also smiled bitterly: "There is nothing that makes sense, because the entourage is his accomplice, Yang Zhenfan left after the killing, and it was the entourage who stayed to disguise the scene of the crime." ”
Song Zhiwei couldn't help but wonder: "Where did the virtuous brother know?" ”
Li Mi didn't answer, but asked: "Brother Song can see Yang Zhenfan himself?" ”
Song Zhiwei thought about it, then shook his head, and Li Mi no longer explained, but said to Song Zhiwei: "Brother Song arrested these two people, you can see it at a glance." ”
Song Zhiwei was also anxious to know the truth, and when he went to arrest people with the arresters around him, he didn't know until he caught the two of them that it was so simple.
Li Mi had already said that the deadbolt was not easy to break, and when he met, he knew that Yang Zhenfan was a weak scholar, even if he gave him a few more mouthfuls of milk, he also kept the bolt, and the entourage was a sturdy middle-aged man, with calluses on his hands and strength!
Emmanuel also wanted to verify Li Mi's speculation, so he said to Song Zhiwei: "Your Excellency, the contemptible people want to follow up, if those two people refuse to confess, Your Excellency can hand them over to me, and the contemptible people will definitely let them reveal the most secret and dirty secrets in their hearts!" ”
Song Zhiwei also knew about Emmanuel's situation, and with this person's help, he naturally didn't have to worry about the two refusing to confess, so he immediately left with Emmanuel.
However, Li Mi fell into deep thought.
