More than ten minutes later, Feng Bujue led Schofield and the police officer who was originally guarding outside the villa to his guest room, ready to demonstrate the layout of the secret room.

This room is basically a mirror image of the crime scene, in addition to the complete symmetry of the layout, the structure and material of the doors and windows are also the same. It is perfect for a case reenactment.

Naturally, Schofield was looking forward to seeing for himself how the detective would solve the puzzle in front of him.

Feng Bujue had just gotten to the utility room with the consent of the owner of the house to get an object similar to a murder weapon - a broken string, at this moment he took it out, walked to the middle of the room, turned back to the two police officers and said, "Since the conditions are sufficient and the real scene will not be destroyed, let's recreate the crime first." ”

"That is......" Schofield replied, "and the three of us will re-enact what happened?" ”

"Two will do." Feng Bujue said, "I'll play the murderer." He turned his gaze to the officer next to Schofield, "This ......"

"Temple, sir." Officer Dempdie introduced himself with a slight lift of the brim of his hat with his hand. This is a rather tall young police officer, with the same mustache as Dennis, but his appearance and temperament are much more approachable.

"Officer Dempdie, your size is relatively close to the victim, so it's up to you to play the deceased." Feng Bujue said.

Templedie exchanged glances with his boss beside him, and when he agreed, he took a half-step ahead and replied, "Willing to help, sir." ”

"So...... Let's get started. Feng Bujue stretched out his hand and gestured in the direction of the chair, and said to Temple, "Please sit on that sofa chair." ”

Templedie strode over and sat down.

Feng Bujue said, "Please try to sit as naturally as possible." ”

Templedie replied, "Okay. As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair.

"Before Dennis was killed, it was like this, sitting in a sofa chair and smoking." Feng Bu consciously began to explain, "And the murderer, in the same room with him." He took a few steps to the back of Dempdie's side, "This side of the room, all in Dennis's blind spot. There is a closet, a table, a cupboard, and a door to the bathroom. ”

"In the absence of Dennis, there are many ways for the killer to get to this area quietly." Feng Bujue gave an example, "Maybe one, while talking to Dennis, he paced back and forth, slowly walking behind the other party; Possibility two, Xuancheng himself wants to go to the toilet (the bathroom is the toilet); It's also possible that the murderer pretended to be going to the cupboard to get something......" he said as he walked, and before he knew it, he had quietly walked behind Schofield, "Look, it's very easy. ”

"Ahh When did you ......," Schofield stunned. He was still concentrating on what Feng Bujue said, but when he heard this, he realized that Mr. Detective had demonstrated the first example.

Feng Bujue shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the sofa chair, "People are easy to be attacked in an unguarded and relaxed state. It can be said that most people in this world, most of the time, are in an unguarded state. ”

"For example, if you're sitting in a restaurant you frequent, and all of a sudden, a waiter or a customer walks past you, will your brain warn, 'Be careful, this guy might pull a knife out of his sleeve and go back and shoot you in the head.'" ’

Or maybe you're sitting in the comfort of your home, taking a shower, and flipping through a serialized novel. At this point, wouldn't you think about ...... Just outside the window to your side, someone is aiming at you with a sniper rifle. ”

When Schofield and Templedie heard this, they instinctively glanced towards the window of the room......

Feng Bujue raised his right hand and lightly tapped his temple with his index finger, "Our brains can't take on that kind of long-term, uninterrupted, hysterical vigilance task. Therefore, as long as the mind is that the environment in which one finds oneself is safe, one will let go of the 'unnecessary defenses'. He paused, "Let's look at the case in front of me...... When Dennis was killed, he was in the guest room of his father's mountain villa, or he was in the same room with someone he knew. In his thoughts, of course, he would not be wary of 'the other party may suddenly take out a steel wire and strangle me to death', but he never expected ......"

Feng Bujue said this, picked up the strings with both hands, and walked towards Temple. Although the latter knew that this was just restoring the murder, he couldn't help but get nervous. Brother Jue's various strange remarks and the cold-blooded tone when he spoke made the officer feel a chill down his spine.

"The deceased's figure is very close to yours, and the back of his neck is just right on the top of the back of the sofa. For the murderer, this is a very suitable and ideal height for power. Feng Bujue said, patting Temple's shoulder, "Please experience the feeling of being suddenly strangled from behind." ”

"Hmm......" Before Dempdie could answer, he unconsciously lowered the strings in front of his chin, "Suppose your neck has been strangled by me at this moment, and the strong congestion and suffocation above the neck are taking your life." So, in the only minute before you die, how do you react in the panic and pain? ”

"I'll try to untie the shackles around my neck while ......," Dempdie replied after a moment's thought, "and push my body back desperately." ”

When Schofield heard this, he looked at Brother Jue and said, "The marks on the carpet at the scene, as well as the scratches on the neck of the deceased, all corroborate these reactions. ”

"What else?" Feng Buyi motioned to Officer Dempdie and continued.

Dempdie experienced it again, and suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "I think I'll try to grab the murderer's arm or body." ”

"Hmm...... That's right. Feng Bujue nodded and muttered, "It's just ...... If you sit on a sofa chair with a solid base and heavy weight, and there is a carpet under your feet, you will be strangled with a steel wire from behind...... Even if the deceased struggled to reach the rear, it would be difficult to reach the murderer's body. ”

"Forearm!" Schofield suddenly realized, "In the process of struggling, the deceased is likely to leave scratch marks on the murderer's hands, wrists, and even forearms!" ”

"Hmm." Feng Bujue continued, "It's not all......" he paused, "Generally speaking, to strangle a two-hundred-pound man in the prime of life, the movement must be fast and powerful. However, the murderer in this case used a murder weapon such as a steel wire, which is the best tool for strangulation and killing, which is not only easy to hide, but also does not require the strength of the perpetrator. Even a woman, or a minor, can use this thing to kill a strong man, and professional killers often choose this way to kill people. ”

Brother Jue said, slowly raised his hands, palms forward, and said, "However...... When using this thing, you must pay attention to the fact that if you don't take protective measures, your palms can easily be injured. (To be continued)
