"Remove all the impossible elements and leave what remains...... No matter how reluctant you are to believe it...... But it's the truth! ”

Lu Wen sat in the passenger seat, and the vehicle undulated on the bumpy road.

The investigation of Baker's body was interrupted by a female sniper, who was now chasing from a tall building in the dark.

On the Mowu side, things are also making no progress.

"I have an impression of this, is it from "Detective Conan"?"

Wei Boan cut to the high beams, and the dirt road ahead was brighter.

It was still pitch black.

"Yes, but the original sentence is from Sherlock Holmes." Lu Wen said.

"I've seen that, but I think a lot of the content in it can't stand scrutiny, it's not rigorous enough, and many similar literary and artistic works in history are better than that." Wei Bo'an said.

"Consider the constraints of the times." Lu Wen looked into the distance, "There are many classic works of the same kind in history, all kinds of characters, Ellery Quinn, Hercule Poirot...... But in the end, only Sherlock Holmes is remembered, indicating that he must have something unique. ”

"Poirot, I know, isn't that funny bearded detective?"

"But only you know, there is only one detective that ordinary people know, and that is Sherlock Holmes, which should be Hermes when transliterated, and I don't know why the gentleman in charge of translation translated it as Fu ......"

While it was nightfall, the little village was almost there.

Quite remote.

There are more than 50 households.

However, the road is much better than other villages that Lu Wen has been to before.

The pavement is paved with gravel, so it is obvious that the economy of this village is a little better than that of other villages, and many families have built brick houses.

"Drive slowly, I can see it, the corpse is at the entrance of the village."

"Sometimes I really envy the eyesight of you androids, do you have two cameras on your eyes?"

"Pretty much."

“……”

There are several lights at the entrance of the village.

Some villagers came out of their houses with wires and hung light bulbs on trees.

This kind of murder has not happened in this remote village for many years, and the villagers feel that it is very new, so that they have nothing to fear.

The executive officer of the local executive bureau arrived early and had already set up a cordon.

Wei Bo'an was the first to get out of the car, shook hands with the local executive, and exchanged views on the current situation.

"Sir, there are only five people in our sub-bureau, all of whom are here to guard the scene, but they lack some equipment and can't do relevant testing."

"It's okay, all the equipment is behind, and it's coming."

Lu Wen got out of the car and looked at the corpse.

At first glance, it was the same cause of death as the lawyer, multiple stab wounds, but not fatal enough, and he bleed to death.

The time of death should be in the afternoon.

The informant said that when he saw it, the blood that had come out of the crack in the doorway had clotted.

Wait for the forensic doctor to come, this weather, you can simply judge the time of death by the temperature of the corpse.

Colleagues from the city have arrived one after another.

The name of the village has the character 'Lan'.

Same cause of death.

Everything was the same as Lu Wen guessed.

"I'm sorry, I said a lot of scolding you on the public channel before." An executive officer walked up to Lu Wen with an apologetic face.

"Actually...... I'm not on the public channel in your district, and I don't know if you don't tell me. Lu Wen said.

"It makes me feel bad not to say it."

"You're going to make me feel bad if you say it."

Several colleagues came forward to apologize.

Others went to the scene of the murder to investigate.

Wei Boan was questioning a few villagers.

"Have you seen any strangers coming in and out of the village these days?"

"I didn't pay attention, but there are so many people in the village, everyone is an acquaintance, if there are really strangers, they should be able to notice."

Several villagers said they didn't see strangers coming or going.

"It's more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the countryside eats late, and it shouldn't have slept yet, so everyone works hard, investigates door to door, and records anything that goes wrong."

Wei Bo'an simply divided the people who came into groups.

It is true that it is relatively late to eat in the countryside.

The lights are still on in every house.

Many executives, each with a flashlight, and there are also android executives, with night vision mode on, not the kind of funny eyes that glow, but real night vision.

Lu Wen and Wei Boan went directly to the place where the murder occurred.

"Bungalows, brick structures, sliding windows, wooden strips fixed outside the windows, no signs of destruction, the murderer did not enter through the windows."

Bungalows are very common in the countryside.

In total, there is a living room, two bedrooms, and a kitchen.

The latrine is outside.

Except for the top of the kitchen, which is black tiles, the top of the rest is flat cement, and there is a staircase to access the roof, and you can dry some crops on the roof on weekdays.

There are several cracks in the gray exterior wall, and the red bricks inside can be seen.

"This bungalow is a little old."

"The preliminary judgment is the scene of the first crime, the traces at the scene are very messy, damaged, many traces can be detected, the white hair should come from the old man at the entrance of the village just now, the footprints at the door are left by the villagers who first found the body, and there are snack bags, and some children have also come to the scene to see the ...... because of curiosity."

The villagers added a certain amount of difficulty to everyone.

Lu Wen went in and took a brief look.

The furniture is simple.

Some old wooden furniture.

A rusty clock hangs from the blue-gray cement wall, and the hands have stopped.

The color TV with a big head is placed in the innermost part of the living room.

On the table in the living room were some bits and pieces, and on the stool were some old clothes, which could be seen to be darker in color, but they had faded away.

There was a gray stuffed animal on the TV.

On the concrete wall next to it hangs an alphabet, dated seven years ago in the lower left corner.

"Have children?" Lu Wen frowned, "The deceased didn't live alone, there should be a child, did you find it?" ”

"I found it, the child was playing with other children outside in the afternoon, and he was frightened when he saw the situation at home, and his mood was not stable, in a villager's house."

"After he is emotionally stable, ask if any strangers have been to his house recently."

Lu Wen did not pin his hopes on the child.

Judging by the murderer's performance last time, he will do things without leaks, leaving almost no traces that could expose himself.

"None of the doors and windows have been damaged, do the murderer and the victim know each other?"

In the previous lawyer's case, the doors and windows were not damaged.

The murderer walked into the room as if he were swaggering.

But Lu Wen didn't speculate too much at the time.

In a place like an urban area, there are countless ways to trick people into opening the door.
