Chapter 1143: Flesh and Spirit (8)
"I'm really familiar with Godwin."
Winhum smiled bitterly and said:
"I can't think of anyone who has a grudge against him, so I wanted to ask you if you have a clue."
Merlin and Dane shook their heads in a complete absence of clues.
"Alright then, Mr. Dane, where were you at the time of the crime?"
"Sleep in your room."
"Did you hear anything? From the location, your room is the closest to Mr. Godwin. ”
There were six rooms on the second floor, and the room opposite Godwin was an unused storage room, and Dane's room was right next to Godwin's room.
"No, I didn't hear anything."
"Really?"
Winhum Says:
"You also saw it when I surveyed the scene before, although there were almost no traces of a fight in the room, there was a gap on one side of the wooden wall that had been cut out by a sharp weapon, even if the murder weapon was sharp, it was a finger-thick plank, and it was impossible not to make a sound."
"I didn't really hear anything, maybe I was sleeping too deeply."
Winhum stared at Dane as if to discern if he was lying.
At this time, An Yizhi interjected and asked:
"What are you talking about...... gap?"
This made Winhum let go of his gaze and turned to Ann:
"On the left wall of Godwin's room, there is a gap cut by a sharp weapon, and the traces of the section are very new, as if they have only recently appeared."
"Why is there a gap in the wall?"
Merlin Says:
"Is it possible that the murderer entered Godwin's room from there?"
Since the walls of this wooden house are all wooden, in order to reduce the structural weight of the second floor, the walls are hollow between them, and the space inside is indeed enough to hide from one person.
Winhum shook his head and said:
"No way, the size of that gap is only big enough to reach into a hand, as long as the murderer is not liquid, it is impossible to get in and out of nowhere."
This made everyone frown, and even An Yizhi felt a little headache.
The scene of the crime is a perfect secret room, the doors and windows are locked, even if there is a key, they can't be opened, and even if they can be opened, it is impossible to re-lock.
The only gap in and out of the room was a fist-sized gap on the left side of the room, which was obviously impossible for a person to pass through.
Another problem is the murder weapon.
Godwin's wound proved that he had been killed by a sharp weapon that resembled the teeth of a beast, and before going downstairs, Ann Yizhi heard Dane judge that the wound looked like a beast from its position, but it was too sharp for a beast to have such sharp teeth.
Therefore, An Yizhi estimated that the murder weapon was a specially made, metal frame shaped like a large pair of scissors, with a sharp blade like the teeth of a beast inserted on it, and the murderer used it to clamp Godwin's neck, which is why it caused such a wound.
But in this way, the location of the murder weapon has become a problem.
If the murder weapon is the same as An Yizhi guessed, then the size of this murder weapon will not be much smaller than the pillow, and it is impossible for such a large thing to hide on the body casually.
Whether it was Winhum or Merlin and Dane, the three of them did not carry any luggage when they came, but Dane and Merlin were driving the car when they came, were the murder weapons hidden in the car?
Together, Ann vetoed the idea as soon as he pointed to himself.
Because the garage is not directly connected to the cabin, you have to leave the cabin and walk into the rainstorm to get to the garage.
In this way, even if there is rain gear, it is impossible to avoid rain and mud in the rainstorm, and you must know that there is a muddy pond outside the door.
It turned out that there were no water stains in the wooden house, and An Yizhi also looked at the corridor when he was walking around the living room before, and there was still no sign of anyone entering or leaving there.
What's more, based on Godwin's bleeding, it can be guessed that this murder weapon must also have a lot of blood on it, and when the murderer leaves the room, it will inevitably cause the blood stains on the murder weapon to drip down, leaving dripping traces.
Besides, with such a large amount of bleeding, it is impossible for the murderer not to have blood stains on his body. The three of them did not carry a change of clothes, what to do with the bloodstains?
But none of these traces were found.
Continue to speculate that the murderer wrapped the murder weapon with cloth and other objects when he left, and wore a raincoat hanging on the entrance when he killed him, which can indeed leave no traces of blood, and if the evidence is to wait to investigate whether there are blood stains on the raincoat.
But how was the murder weapon handled?
As I just said, the size of the murder weapon that An Yizhi guessed would not be much smaller than the pillow, and for the sake of sturdiness, it must be made of metal, and how to dispose of such a large thing is also a big problem, and it has already been discovered if it is thrown out of the window.
There are a lot of questions and suspicions, which makes the whole case seem like an impossible crime.
There is no impossible crime in this world, and the murderer will inevitably leave traces when he commits the crime, no matter how unreasonable the traces are.
So An Yizhi decided to change his thinking and think about the problem from a different angle.
What if the prisoner was not a human being?
Godwin said that there was information about the werewolf, and the other three also knew about the werewolf, and in the cutscene CG, Ann Yizhi heard the doctor mention that 'the hound has been dropped', plus the wolf howl he heard on the mountain road before he came to the cabin.
It is more likely that the murderer is not a human, but a supernatural monster, after all, the wound on Godwin's body is not so much caused by the murderer as a beast, but more like a monster with a wolf's head.
In other words, this is a simple monster murder copy?
Although this possibility is not impossible, and it is also the closest to all the evidence speculation, An Yizhi still feels that something is not right, like there are some key clues that he has ignored, or he has not yet gotten his hands on them.
"Mr. Ainslow, may I ask what you were doing last night?"
Winhum's question interrupted Ann's train of thought, and he fixed his mind and said:
"I slept in my room last night, but I ran into Mr. Godwin once when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom."
"When was that?"
"I don't know, it's too dark at night, and I didn't pay attention to what time the big clock in the living room is."
In fact, An Yizhi knew the time, it was just after the early morning, which coincided with the time of the crime. It is estimated that Godwin was killed shortly after returning to his room after using the bathroom. It's just that he learned the time of the dungeon through the system, not through the clock in the dungeon.
The character played by Ann Yizhi does not have a pocket watch, and the entire wooden house only has a large clock in the living room, and there is no other means to know the time, if he tells the exact time at this time, it will attract the suspicion of Winhum.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The questioning of everyone was still useless, and Winhum's move seemed like a matter of routine, or a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
After all, the time of the crime was in the early hours of the morning, and the early hours of the morning are the deadliest time for human beings, even if there is a murderer hiding in it, as long as he insists that he is sleeping, there is no way to prove whether he is lying.
Winhum is not a criminal policeman, in his own words, there has been no murder in the town at all, and there is no need for criminal police at all, he is usually just a film policeman responsible for mediating neighborhood disputes, and this time he went up the mountain to be arrested by his boss.
So his performance is quite amateurish, and it is impossible to find any reliable clues.
This made An Yizhi feel that it was more reliable to go up and search again, but he had no reason to convince others, so he could only give up for the time being.
The other three sat on the sofa with their own thoughts, and the two men felt out the cigarette rolls and pipes that were smoking, and An Yizhi also learned well.
It is said that there will always be a pipe or cigar on An's finger in every temporary dungeon, which makes him want to give the system a thumbs up.
- Because smoking in reality will be beaten by Lin Linglin......
Holding a pipe, An Yizhi is still dangling in the living room, and the others are distracted, after all, there has just been a murder.
In fact, he is looking for the source of that sense of disobedience, and he cares more about the sense of disobedience than the murder itself.
Standing in front of the window, he could see that the white mist was getting thicker and thicker, and it was really not his delusion, the fog was getting closer and closer to the wooden house.
The vegetable patch was no longer visible, it was completely engulfed in a thick white fog.
This fog seems to be visible only to An Yizhi, and when Winhum asked, An Yizhi had revealed the fog to the others, but everyone said that it was just water vapor produced by too much rain, and it was not as serious as An Yizhi said.
The fog that only you can see should also be a hint.
No matter how realistic the picture is and how strong the sense of substitution is, don't forget that this is just a game, and the player's position is completely different from the NPCs in the dungeon from the beginning, so when looking at the problem, it is customary to observe it from a perspective outside the dungeon.
The fog that only players can see, the inexplicable CG, and the murder caused by suspected supernatural creatures. And, of course, there's that lingering sense of disobedience.
This made Ann scratch her hair with her fingers, and she was in a very irritated mood.
But irritability is not a good mood, and if you want to solve the mystery, it is best to stay calm.
Spit out a smoke ring, Ann turned her head with one finger, just in time to see the picture frame on the cabinet next to her.
He had seen it when he first entered the cabin, and it was a picture of Godwin and his son and grandson, and it was nothing to care about.
"Does Mr. Godwin have any relatives?"
The other three followed, and Dane said:
"I haven't heard Godwin mention that he has relatives, and neither of us have seen him."
Ann took a step out of the way and gestured to the photo on the cabinet.
Everyone suddenly realized, and Merlin said:
"That's a picture of Godwin himself from childhood, not his family."
It's no wonder that the people in the photo look similar even though they are of different ages, and they all turn out to be Godwin's own.
Shrugging, Ann put the frame back in place and looked up at the specimen on the top of the cabinet.
It was a huge fish, and although the salmon hanging above the fireplace was big enough, the fish was more than three meters tall and was almost on the couch.
This fish is known as arapaima and is a freshwater fish native to the Amazon basin of South America, with a large size.
Merlin saw that he was looking at a specimen of arapaima, or to ease the tension, and she took the initiative to explain:
"It was caught by Godwin when he was on a trip to South America, and it took a lot of effort and more than three hours of struggle to get the fish on the boat, and he almost overturned the boat he was on."
Speaking of this, Dane also eased up a lot, and he took over the conversation and said:
"At that time, the tour guide was terrified, and Godwin spent a lot of money to get it back to China."
Winhoom also joined the conversation:
"Sounds like you were there?"
"Of course, we watched Godwin get it on the boat."
An Yizhi listened to the conversation coming from behind, lowered his gaze slightly, and saw a line of inscription indicating when the specimen was made under the arapaima specimen.
It says 1930......
