Volume 3: The Ghost Bride Chapter 140: Illusion

Amu frowned tightly and muttered, "Strange, strange! ”

The village chief asked, "Strange what?" ”

Amu said: "Something is missing here. ”

The village chief said, "What's missing?" ”

Amu said: "There is no trace of a fight. ”

The village chief was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Amu pointed to the clothes worn by the deceased and said, "The deceased's clothes have signs of cracking here, aren't they?" ”

The village chief said, "Well, so what? ”

Amu said: "This shows that the deceased resisted the murderer before being killed. ”

The village chief said, "So, there should be traces of their dispute here?" ”

Amu said: "Not bad! ”

The village chief said: "But there are no other suspicious traces here except for the footprints of those onlookers." ”

Amu said: "Why is that? ”

He and the village chief were silent for a while, and suddenly exclaimed at the same time: "This is not the scene of the crime!" ”

When the villagers standing outside the vegetable garden saw him and the two of them suddenly exclaim so excitedly, they couldn't help but wonder, thinking that they knew who the murderer was?

The village chief said with a depressed face: "This is not the scene of the crime, so where was the deceased killed?" ”

Amu said: "It's very simple, since the deceased was at home last night, the eighth floor of the crime scene was in his house, and it is very likely that the murderer took great pains to move the deceased's body out in order to create the illusion of the crime scene." ”

The village chief said: "Makes sense. ”

They came to Chen Fei's house.

The house is not very large, and it only adds up to three rooms.

Now that both brothers' parents are dead, the house is more spacious than just the two of them.

The elder brother lives in the room on the right, and the younger brother lives in the room on the left.

There is a patio next to the patio to the kitchen!

The area of the kitchen is not large, but it is not small, in addition to the stove and cupboards and other dry wood buckets, a small square table can be placed in the middle to eat.

Neither of the two brothers married a wife, and they were only in their twenties, so they did not divide the family, and they usually ate together.

Amu and the village chief walked around the house, but found nothing else.

Then the two of them went into the kitchen to see.

The wall attached to the stove had been blackened and shiny from years of fire.

Nothing unusual was found in the kitchen.

As a result, they could not determine whether the deceased was in this house or elsewhere at the first scene of the murder.

Amu suddenly asked Chen Hu, "When did you go up the mountain to hunt yesterday?" ”

Chen Hu said: "After dinner." ”

"What time was it?"

Chen Hu said: "About eight or nine o'clock." ”

Amu said: "Did you two brothers go to the mountain to hunt at this point in time?" ”

Chen Hu said: "In the past, my brother and I usually had to go up the mountain before it was dark, first set up some hunting traps, and then stay there all night. ”

Amu said: "Then why did you go up the mountain after dinner at home last night?" ”

Chen Hu said: "I didn't want to go up the mountain yesterday, but because there was no food at home, I was afraid that I would have nothing to eat the next day, so I went there after dark." ”

Amu said: "When you left, your brother was still fine?" ”

Chen Hu said: "Yes, he may have had a little cold at the time, and I saw that he was not in a very good state, so I let him rest at home for one night." ”

Amu said: "Before you went out, didn't you notice anything unusual around you?" ”

Chen Hu said: "Everything was normal before I went out, and I still watched my brother enter the room and go to bed. ”

Amu said: "Which one is his room?" ”

Chen Hu pointed to the door on the right and said, "My brother sleeps in this room, and the opposite room is my room." ”

Amu walked into the room on the right.

It's daytime, but it's dark inside because there are no windows.

My brother's bed was leaning against the innermost wall, and there was a quilt on the bed that kept out the cold in autumn, and this quilt was neatly placed on the bed, and there was no sign of anyone sleeping in the rest of the bed.

Everything else in the room was in place, with no sign of being moved.

Amu frowned again.

According to his guess, if Chen Fei was killed in the room, when he resisted the murderer, everything in the room would be touched and messed up, right?

Even if you don't say anything else, shouldn't the quilt be so neat?

Could it be that after the murderer killed someone, he spent a lot of time putting everything in the room in order?

There were many wounds on the body of the deceased, indicating that when he was killed by the murderer, the murderer stabbed or struck him violently.

In this case, there should be traces of blood left at the scene of the crime.

However, not a single trace of blood was found in this room.

Could it be that the murderer still managed to clean up the bloodstains?

In addition to this one possibility, there is another possibility.

That is, the deceased was not killed in the room, and this is not the actual scene of the murder.

But Chen Hu just said that he watched his brother go into the room to sleep before going out.

Could it be that after the deceased went to sleep in the room, he walked out of the room, or even walked out of the house to go somewhere else?

Does he have some secrets that he can't tell, even his younger brother has to hide it, pretend to be unwell, stay at home alone, and when his younger brother goes out, he will secretly go out to run errands alone?

Amu thought about it at this time, and thought of many possibilities.

Of these possibilities, at least four or five may be very plausible, and even worth further study.

The most important thing is, why is the tragic situation of the deceased so similar to Da Niu and Lan Lan?

Could it be that it was really the same murderer who killed them?

If this is the case, then there is a high probability that this murderer is Ah Qing.

But Ah Qing has no possibility of killing Chen Fei at all!

Amu's thoughts were in a state of confusion.

This kind of murder full of mysteries is really difficult for him.

He suddenly thought again, could the deceased go out to steal things from his brother because he didn't have any food at home?

The village chief said that the two brothers often did some stealing and touching dogs in the village chief.

Could it really be that he went to someone's house in the middle of the night to steal something and was caught by his master and then beaten to death? In order to escape the charge, the body was moved to the vegetable garden overnight to create a false appearance of the crime scene?

So the real place where the deceased was killed could have been the home of a villager in the village?

If the guess is correct, then the matter is a bit troublesome.

Hundreds of households in Jintai Village, how to check?

It will take several days for the village chief to organize the investigation.

Wait a minute!

Amu suddenly thought of an important question.

Why did the murderer move the deceased to this vegetable garden behind his house?

Could it be that the murderer's home was not far from this vegetable garden, so in order to save trouble, he simply moved the deceased here?

But what about the big hole in the deceased's chest that was cut through?

As soon as this idea came to mind, all the previous assumptions were overturned.

Amu looked depressed, and stood silently in place in contemplation, while the village chief and Chen Hu repeatedly circled around the house.

The village chief was also distressed.

Because he also found that the house did not quite look like the scene of the murder of the deceased.
