Chapter 70: Third-Rate Detective Opera (8)
When Hua Qiong hurriedly ran to the building on the right, she happened to meet Gu Moli who was returning to the building on the left through the liaison bridge.
"Gu.... Boss! β
"Huh?"
Gu Moli, who was originally in a hurry, stopped abruptly and looked at Hua Qiong with a frown: "You found a clue?" β
"Well, a little."
Hua Qiong didn't hide it, after all, what she saw at the end of the last chapter of the Detective made her a little flustered, so she directly handed the phone to Gu Moli.
"What are you doing.... Robot Detective? Is this a novel? β
"Who is the author?"
"Li Caijin himself, who has not yet made a fortune."
β.....οΌβ
Gu Moli's reaction speed was fast, so he immediately understood that he had ignored the content of the challenge letter, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was not right.
"Detective Robot, Li Caijin's novel, lend me my phone, I'll take a look..."
Gu Moli continued to walk towards the building on the left, holding his mobile phone while holding his mobile phone, and began to browse the specific content of "Detective of Wisdom Machines" at a glance, and even slowed down his pace for this reason.
"I just looked into it."
"The Detective is a novel written by Li Caijin before he made a fortune, and it is also this novel that made Li Caijin and Mrs. Li know each other, and the two announced their marriage less than a year after falling in love, and at the same time, Li Caijin also announced his retirement from the novel industry and became a giant in the business world."
Gu Moli said in a low voice while keeping his eyes off the screen of his mobile phone.
"Like a love token?"
"That's right."
Hua Qiong nodded, and then deliberately lowered her voice: "... In addition, there is another thing, which is a well-known secret, which is related to Li Caijin's family history. β
"I know."
Without waiting for Hua Qiong to speak, Gu Moli interrupted her: "A down-and-out detective novelist, no matter how you think about it, you can't get along with today's business giants, if you want to become that kind of giant and establish the family business of today's Caijin Group, the start-up capital is a very large amount." β
"It was provided by Li Caijin's wife, right?"
β... Uh, yes... How do you know? β
"Nonsense."
Gu Moli only looked away from his phone at this time, and glanced at Hua Qiong: "You said that it is a secret that everyone knows, will I not know?" β
"Alright."
"I basically have the clues, the motive has been confirmed, and it's almost time to reveal the truth."
"Oooh.... Huh!? β
Hua Qiong, who was still nodding just now, turned around suddenly: "Reveal the truth? Do you know who killed Mrs. Lee....? β
"That's right."
Gu Moli nodded firmly.
.......................
"So?"
Li Caijin leaned on the wheelchair, with bandages on his shoulders, and his face was pale without a trace of blood: "You found me?" Do you want to say that I killed my wife? β
Behind Li Caijin, the old housekeeper stood silently, under his gray hair, the old lion-like eyes were as sharp as a sword, Hua Qiong was a little nervous, and swallowed his saliva silently.
"That's right."
Only Gu Moli's face remained unchanged, and he said directly: "I confirm, Mr. Li Caijin, you are the murderer." β
β.... Let's talk about it. β
"Then I'll be blunt."
Gu Moli was not polite, and after standing still, the corners of his mouth went up: "Although this case looks very incredible at first glance, it is actually a very naΓ―ve case, which cannot withstand scrutiny at all, and the perpetrator does not even dare to let the police intervene in the investigation, because it is too simple." β
"From the modus operandi, to the motive for the crime, to the perpetrator himself."
"Full of childishness."
"What should I say? Well, it's as childish as a script written by a third-rate detective novelist. β
β.......β
In the face of Gu Moli's spicy sarcasm, Li Caijin's face remained unchanged, but the palms on both sides of the wheelchair were silently clenched.
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
Gu Moli nodded, and then said: "First of all, I must admit that it was my own dereliction of duty to fail to prevent this case from happening, your plan actually started as early as when I came, if I could have been more careful at that time, maybe I wouldn't have been confused." β
"Secondly, in terms of criminal modus operandi, the deceased... That is, Mrs. Li died from a head shot, and the murderer should have experimented hundreds of times, confirming that the shot can kill with one shot, and at the same time, let the bullet kinetic energy drive the body of the deceased, so that it will not fall directly in front of the murder weapon. β
"But it's still too naΓ―ve."
"Through the height of the deceased, the angle of the bloodstains, and the investigation of the items at the scene, the murder weapon is actually not difficult to find."
"Even the murderer himself did not hide the murder weapon, but put it in the open, although bold, but very unplanned, I tell the truth about this kind of behavior....."
Gu Mo turned away from the conversation: "It's like a murderer who worships romanticism." β
"I've watched a lot of detective anime and TV series, and I've designed a set of techniques, but I don't take into account the strong criminal investigation ability of the police, and put the detective and the criminal on solving the case, and if the techniques in the novel can really be applied to reality without being discovered, there would have been a flood of murders that day."
"Do you think it's anime and fiction?"
"Childish! It's so naΓ―ve! β
"Reality is not so romantic!"
Li Caijin: "........"
After a long time, Li Caijin spoke again: "So? What exactly is the murder weapon? β
"A safe at the scene of the crime."
"Oh?"
Li Caijin raised his eyebrows, while Gu Moli continued: "According to my guess, the murderer should have used some method to let the deceased open the safe, but he told her the wrong password, and finally the deceased himself touched the safety line of the safe, and was finally killed by the pistol built into the safe. β
"Of course, it is also possible that the safe itself was a trap, in fact, the correct code was told, so that the deceased was killed by the pistol in the safe the moment he opened the safe, in any case, the safe placed in the room where the deceased was the murder weapon in this case."
"By the way, that safe should have automatically reverted to its original state after shooting Mrs. Li, so it looks normal at first glance."
β....... What about the evidence? Your evidence? β
"Here's the proof."
Gu Moli picked up the mobile phone that Hua Qiong handed him just now, and what was displayed on it was Li Caijin's Virgo "Wisdom Detective".
"I just took a cursory look, the book itself is also a detective story, and you can see a feeling of a novice writer between the lines, and the techniques used in the cases in the book can also be described as rough and unbearable, and most importantly, the techniques themselves are exactly the same as what I just said."
"Mr. Li Caijin, can you explain this amazing coincidence to me?"
"If you insist that this is a coincidence, there must be conclusive evidence, then that's fine, as long as you go to the scene of the crime with me, I will use the safe there....."
"No need."
"I'll have someone bring the safe over, you can let this young lady next to you go with me, don't get me wrong, I just don't want to leave this room, after all, I just got shot, and I'm seriously ill, so I really don't have the heart to walk around anymore."
β..... It's good. β
Gu Moli nodded after pondering for a moment, and then gave Hua Qiong a look.
Hua Qiong naturally followed the bodyguard and left.
Half an hour or so has passed.
The door of the room opened again, and I saw Hua Qiong leading a group of bodyguards over, and behind him was a safe in a cart, exactly the same as what Gu Moli saw at the scene of the crime.
"That's it."
"I watched them load into the car with my own eyes, and I didn't even blink an eye."
"Guaranteed Authenticity!"
β.........β
After giving Hua Qiong a roll of his eyes, Gu Moli looked at Li Caijin again: "Then next, I will prove my hypothesis in turn, Mr. Li Caijin, first of all, can you please tell me the correct password of the safe?" β
"Of course."
Unexpectedly, Li Caijin did not keep silent, but nodded briskly.
"The password is 5207."
"Okay."
Gu Moli took a deep breath, then stepped forward, first pushing the safe towards the wall, and then the person stood on the right side of the safe, only stretching out one hand to press the password on the front.
A moment later.
Click.
There was a sound of locking open from the safe, Gu Moli's expression became more and more serious, pulling the handle of the safe and slowly pulling the door of the safe open.
Then I saw the next second.....!
Nothing happened.
