Chapter 120: Analysis and Inference of the Case III
Yun Yeyao and Liu Qiaopu's discussion continued, for the time being, they had nothing to do, and the mother-in-law sat in the kitchen, directing Tao Muqing and Xia Tomato, who had just finished washing, to make breakfast. Just in case, they still cleaned the dishes they had cleaned last night one by one.
Sister Wang, Xixi, and Horror huddled on the sofa, and the two little girls still snuggled tightly to the middle-aged maid, as if she was the only safe harbor now.
Not far from Liuqiao Pu and Yun Yeyao, Wen Manman sat beside Lian Fan, their faces expressionless, looking like they were in a daze. Lu Haoyu and Qin Sen talked a few words occasionally, and spent the rest of the time listening to the conversation between the old detective and the actor, hoping to get more information from it.
Especially Qin Sen, with his hands on his knees, leaned forward, and posed very seriously.
Liu Qiao Pu didn't bother to care about them, and said to Yun Yeyao: "Yesterday's suspicion was mainly focused on after dinner, Meng Qi'er inexplicably returned to the tower to sleep, I was just shocked at that time, this little girl is indeed a little willful. But now that she thinks about it, she didn't have much courage, and she shouldn't have dared to act alone at that time. ”
"Teacher, could it be that someone made an appointment with Meng Qi'er to meet in the room, so she would sneak away without you?" Yun Yeyao asked.
"It's unlikely, you think, at that time, except for Lian Fan, basically all the people got together, and excluding you, Xiaoxiao, Xiaohang, Xiaomeng and Xiao Qiao, only Man Man was able to date Meng Qi'er." Between the words, Liu Qiaopu glanced at Wen Manman behind him, and continued: "But she just came out of the brown tower at that time, you can all prove it. There was simply no time to set up such a murder scene. ”
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it is Shu Xue who asks Meng Qi'er, with her appearance, it is indeed possible to pretend to be Manman, but when did Shu Xue make an agreement with Meng Qi'er? When I was downstairs, Meng Qi'er had been sitting at the table drawing or in a daze, and I had the impression that she was not involved in anything special at all, nor did she move around. ”
"It's possible that Shu Xue secretly went to Meng Qi'er after everyone fell asleep on the night of the 29th and asked her to meet the next evening." Yun Yeyao once again put forward the hypothesis.
Liu Qiaopu shook his head and said: "I think this possibility is also very small, although nothing has happened at that time, and everyone's vigilance is also very weak, but first of all, Shu Xue needs to have a reason to make Meng Qi'er feel that she must meet her alone." ”
"Secondly, on the evening of the 30th, although we didn't mention the murder case, it doesn't mean that everyone didn't speculate, and this incident can be fully reflected in Manman. Manman approached me on her own initiative to ask to participate in the investigation, and she was smart enough to see through the way the door opened on the other side of the study at once. ”
Meng Qi'er didn't look like a girl who was stupid enough to be ignorant of anything, at least her behavior before dinner made people feel that this girl was very good at hiding her presence. I always thought that her wayward and childish performances were not all true. ”
Liu Qiaopu said this, leaned back in the chair, raised his head and pondered, Meng Qi'er's actions were indeed suspicious, she really just couldn't resist the sleepiness, and went back to the room to sleep? Or did someone trick her into a secret passage and commit murder?
——
When it comes to Meng Qier's death scene, it has to be associated with Shu Xue's death. Not only did the two people die at about the same time, but they are also inextricably linked in the clues.
If the person who asked Meng Qier out was indeed Shu Xue, then it was the real murderer who deceived Shu Xue into doing this. The murderer wanted to get rid of Meng Qier and Shu Xue at the same time, and blame Liu Qiaopu and Xie Yunmeng for the crime. Here you can draw some analytical reasoning:
The first murderer must be a person who can monitor Shu Xue's every move. The suspicion here had to be pointed at Yan Muheng on the periphery again. Prior to this, it was Yan Muheng who brought Shu Xue to see Xie Yunmeng in the secret passage, and confessed her identity, Xie Yunmeng almost mistook Shu Xue for Wen Manman when he saw Shu Xue for the first time, which proved the similarity between Shu Xue and Wen Manman.
At the same time, it also proves the authenticity of the story told by Wen Manman. Second, although Xie Yunmeng did not clearly say that the person he saw at that time was Yan Muheng, because his face was covered by a scar, his figure, temperament, and voice were unlikely to admit his mistake. Besides, there is no second person in this family who is more than 1.85 meters tall.
Third, just looking at Xie Yunmeng's thoughts, Yan Muheng's suspicion is indeed very big. So let's analyze the situation on Yan Muheng's side? Yan Muheng has been taking care of Xixi's safety with all his heart and soul after entrusting Xixi to him, and from the perspective of his psychological activities, the safety of Xixi and Horror is also the first priority.
Regardless of the reason for this, what is the reason? First of all, it was impossible for him to rashly leave Xixi's safety behind and enter the secret passage of the tower that was in danger at that time, and everyone must not forget that in addition to Yan Muheng, there was also a strange Eternal on the periphery.
Although we have so far vague descriptions of Eternal's height and physical signs, we can always catch some clues, Eternal people seem to have a great resemblance to Yan Muheng, and they are also people who have lived in the treacherous house for many years, and Eternal even knows more about the secret passages and Shu Xue of the treacherous house than Yan Muheng.
In this way, whether Xie Yunmeng saw Eternal or Yan Muheng was a question mark.
The above is about the suspicion of the characters themselves. Xie Yunmeng climbed down from the bottom of the brown tower before the evening of the 30th to verify the strangeness of the study door that Liu Hang said.
On the way, he was pulled into the secret door on the wall by 'Yan Muheng', and saw Shu Xue, at that time, he suspected that there was another girl there, but 'Yan Muheng' and Shu Xue didn't admit it, and Xie Yunmeng had to give up.
The purpose of the two of them coming to see Xie Yunmeng can be said to be very obvious, that is, to let Xie Yunmeng chase Xiaoxiao, so that the criminal police can fall into the designed trap together.
What does this mean? It shows that there is more than one trap, and if both the detective and the policewoman can fall to their deaths in a hole in the rock, the blame can be passed on to the surviving Mr. Cook; If they're okay, then proceed to the second step of the plan: murder and planting inside the Blue Tower.
This step also involved Liu Qiaopu. The murderer can be said to have worked hard, and the 'Yan Muheng' and Shu Xue who were present at the time were absolutely inseparable. The result was to everyone's surprise, and the murderer's plan failed three times in a row.
Although Mei Xiaoxiao allowed the chef to escape, she successfully countered and rescued Lian Fan who was trapped; Xie Yunmeng was in an extremely unfavorable situation, and after opening the wall, he chose to face everyone and take responsibility, and Liu Qiaopu also confessed the situation in Meng Qi'er's room in a matter-of-fact manner.
It may seem dangerous for them to lose everyone's trust, but if they use it well, they will gain double the trust. Among them, Liu Hang's courage and Liu Qiaopu's sincerity played the most important role.
Even if there are people like Lu Haoyu in the crowd who oppose everyone being together, it won't make much difference.
Speaking of Lu Haoyu, this man gives the impression of being selfish and full of suspicion, and his thoughts have always been contrary to the opinions of the criminal police. Especially at the moment when everyone was most suspicious, Lu Haoyu was the first to put forward the idea of acting alone and everyone protecting themselves.
This incident has to make people wonder about Lu Haoyu, everyone is scattered, and the only one who can get benefits is the murderer, and the murderer and accomplice are all hidden among the parties. Dispersion means giving them time and space to break down the existing ones.
For each operation, only one victim needs to be taken into account, and the difficulty of the criminal police to search and arrest will be greatly increased, because they can't guess who the murderer will deal with next?
Therefore, the murderer has experienced three consecutive defeats: the first is a small countermeasure; the second is the failure of the murder plan; The third is that the criminal police, in the face of serious doubts themselves, successfully brought everyone together again, hindering the murderer's subsequent actions.
The success of the triple blood house was when Yun Yeyao and the criminal police had just entered the treacherous house and had no precautions, and the middle-aged woman's corpse dismemberment case and the disappearance of Ms. Wen and the hostess involved in it were also based on the same situation, and they were able to succeed smoothly.
The subsequent quick murder of opening and closing the door and Meng Qier's skeleton murder can be regarded as a successful operation from the perspective of the case itself. But the goal that the murderer wanted to achieve was completely destroyed by the criminal police. Therefore, we can imagine that the murderer's worry and panic at this moment are not much less than those of the survivors?
Next, after Xie Yunmeng left, what did 'Yan Muheng' and Shu Xue who remained in the secret passage do and say? (Here you can refer to the first half of chapter 79)
There are a few points that can absolutely confirm that they are deceiving and plotting against the criminal police, first, Xie Yunmeng vaguely saw the other girl, who fell on the other side of the secret passage, as soon as Xie Yunmeng left, the two of them immediately walked to the girl's side.
The girl has been killed, and from the conversation between 'Yan Muheng' and Shu Xue, we can guess that they are the most suspicious of murder. wanted to plot against Xie Yunmeng, and they also made it clear by themselves.
Another point is that since the incident, the contrast of Shu Xue's person has gradually emerged, in front of 'Yan Muheng', she behaves very coldly, and when her psychological activities are mentioned alone, she is full of concern for the horror and treacherous house.
In the secret passage of the tower, Shu Xue asked 'Yan Muheng': "Sister Wang, will she betray you?" She's been in that room all the time, and your disguise is easy to see through! ”
This sentence can show that no matter where the 'Yan Muheng' beside her was active before, she would definitely stay with everyone after that, and disguise herself as one of the survivors. Even if we ignore the issue of height here, 'Yan Muheng' can only pretend to be a boy, so the suspicion will not fall on the girls.
Also, she said, "If that trap can't control Mr. Detective, your identity will inevitably be revealed." This sentence Shu Xue said in an affirmative tone, that is to say, now in Xie Yunmeng's heart, who was that 'Yan Muheng' at that time? At least there is already a guess in the direction.
