Chapter 456: The Truth and the Chips
Xu Rui didn't care about Xiao Hu's iron-blue face, and talked eloquently.
"This case may seem bizarre, but the key to getting closer to the truth is to believe everyone's testimony, because in this case, no one is lying.
Li Chun said that he and An Ge went to room A in Tianzi, there was no one in it, and the windows could not be opened.
The guards said that except for the servants of Changxing Mansion, no one approached the room after An Ge entered the house.
The guy in the teahouse said that the shopkeeper Peng came early in the morning, but he went not to Tianzi A, but to Tianzi A, and An Ge entered not Tianzi A, but Tianzi B next door.
Coupled with the on-site investigation, it can be determined that Tianzi A is indeed the first crime scene, the body of the deceased was not transferred from elsewhere, and the messenger of Changxing Mansion also took An Ge, who was holding the murder weapon, from Tianzi A.
All kinds of clues add up to present a sense of contradiction and bizarre.
The inference that the deceased and the murderer were in separate rooms, there was only one pillar of incense at the time, and neither the deceased nor An Ge could pass through the corridor, how did they appear in the third room at the same time?
All these doubts are in fact just holes dug by the murderer, and if we do not consider them, we can deduce a possibility from the testimony of all the witnesses alone.
First, shopkeeper Peng did come to the teahouse first this morning, and he did go to room A, in order to prepare a follow-up murder plan and provide an alibi for himself.
Second, after An Ge came to the teahouse, but when he came, the room of Tianzi A had been blocked by a wooden board that completely covered the entire corridor.
Just hang the same calligraphy and painting on the wooden board as the wall at the end of the corridor, and then put the sour branch wood bracket and bonsai in front of it, and then block it on the corridor, it will be exactly the same as the wall at the end of the corridor, and just cover the Tianzi A room, making people mistakenly think that it is the end of the corridor.
After that, the murderer only had to hang the door number of Tianzi A at the door of Tianzi B's room, and Tianzi B became Tianzi A, which was unrecognizable for An Ge, who had only been to this teahouse a few times, which was why Li Chunhui insisted that the two of them would go to Tianzi A.
At the same time, this is also why the guy who is familiar with the location of the room can recognize at a glance that An Ge has entered room B when he stands at the top of the stairs.
Because he was already familiar with the location of each room, he could determine which room An Ge was going to just by the distance, but he was not bewitched by the door number.
But the guy also made a mistake, he didn't find that the corridor was a straight line, due to the existence of the principle of perspective, from the position of the staircase, the end of the corridor did not change much, he did not find that the wall at the end of the corridor was no longer the original wall.
Therefore, he will definitely say that An Ge is not going to Tianzi A, but Tianzi B.
The evidence to support this inference is that there is a strange scratch left in the hallway of the door of Room A, which is half an inch wide and in a straight line, extending to the near wall, which is clearly left by the pulley at the bottom when dragging the fake hallway wall.
In other words, this fast wooden board is actually a movable wall, and when it is pushed out, it will block the Tianzi A room, and when it is pulled back, it will reveal the Tianzi A room.
Third, when An Ge entered the room, he left two guards guarding the door, but the window could not be opened, so he and Li Chun were quickly stunned by the ether in the room.
At the same time, the shopkeeper and the killer who wanted to kill Xu Rui entered the Tianzi room A directly through the secret door on the ceiling of the Dizi A room.
When they observed inside and found that An Ge and Li Chun next door had been stunned, they came to the next door through the secret door and moved the unconscious An Ge and Li Chun to the Tianzi A room, which was the only way to gather people in two different rooms in the Tianzi A room in half a pillar of incense.
Due to time constraints, I didn't look for these two passages carefully, but no matter how secret the passages are, as long as I know about their existence and send someone to find them, I believe that they will be found soon, and this is the evidence of this.
I guess that the shopkeeper Peng wanted to kill An Ge and then use the same method to frame everything to Li Chun, and he himself lied that he had made an appointment with An Ge at the first place.
In order to make the testimony credible, they deliberately arranged a guy who did not know the truth to be an eyewitness, because he was telling the truth, so it was more credible.
At the same time, the person responsible for passing the word between An Ge and Peng's shopkeeper was Li Chun, and as the murderer, he also had enough motives to deliberately say the wrong room and lure An Ge into Tianzi A.
It all seemed seamless, but they didn't realize that the flaw was precisely in that guy, and their plan had already been known to you, and the hunter became prey in an instant.
Next is the core part of the case, murder!
Shopkeeper Peng ordered the killer to kill An Ge, but he never dreamed that the killer would be one of yours, so he was killed by a knife in an unguarded situation, and there was no trace of struggle.
After killing someone, the murderer quickly put the murder weapon on An Singer, and then hid outside the Tianzi No. A gate, behind the wooden board disguised as a wall.
After Peng's shopkeeper's accomplice reported the case, the messenger of Changxing Mansion went upstairs and attracted the guards at the gate of Tianzi B to negotiate with the officer at the staircase, and the murderer took the opportunity to quickly pull the plank back, revealing the hidden room of Tianzi A.
Then the guards returned with the messengers, who were coming to the teahouse for the first time, so it was natural that they would use the most conspicuous wall as a reference, ignoring the fake door number still hanging on the room of Tianzi B, and going directly to the door of the real Tianzi A.
The guard's knock on the door woke up the unconscious An Ge, who suddenly exclaimed in surprise when he saw the bloody knife in his hand and the shopkeeper Peng who had fallen to the side.
The guards and servants outside the door immediately broke down the door when they heard the exclamation, and just happened to see the panicked and shocked An Ge, so they were immediately regarded as murderers.
At that time, the scene must have been a mess, and all the guys would be attracted by the commotion, so the murderer mixed in, took the opportunity to change back to the door number on Tianzi B, and then removed the mechanism blocking the window of Tianzi B, and opened the window that could not be opened.
There are still some traces left on the window of Tianzi B, and that is evidence.
That's how the whole case went, how about it, did I say something wrong? ”
After saying all the inferences in one go, Xu Rui looked at Xiaohu with a smile.
Lin Shaodong and Cao Siyuan had already opened their mouths wide, and they were also there when Xu Rui was investigating the case, but they didn't expect that in such a short period of time, they were still confused, and Xu Rui had already seen through all the joints.
Xiao Hu's face was pale, and he was stunned for a long time before he sighed sincerely: "Originally, I thought that this case would be pushed smoothly and seamlessly, but I didn't expect to be seen through by you at a glance, Xu Rui, why are you so terrifying?" ”
Xu Rui chuckled and shook his head: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, and the shopkeeper Peng thinks it is seamless, so he is used by you, and you also think it is seamless, so I will see through it."
In fact, how can there be anything truly seamless in this world? If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do! ”
When Xiao Hu heard this, he suddenly laughed.
Xu Rui frowned: "What are you laughing at?" ”
Xiao Hu smiled: "You're right, there is indeed no perfect thing in this world, but I have to add one more sentence, because you think your inference is seamless, so you are wrong in three points!" ”
"Oh?"
Xu Rui smiled: "I don't know which three points I got wrong?" ”
Xiao Hu said proudly: "First, the deceased in this case is not one, but two!" The reason why only one trace of the deceased was left at the scene was because if the person who did it did not want to, he could have left no trace at all.
Second, the other party is by no means an ordinary person, and if you want to really push the boat down the river, you can't leave any flaws, so the assassin who killed the person is not one of our people, and we learned about the whole plan from other sources.
The second deceased was the assassin who was originally going to kill, but the moment he made his move, he was killed by the real murderer, and the shopkeeper Peng turned around when he heard the voice, but the murderer's martial arts were too high, and he had no chance to react at all, and there was no trace of his struggle at the scene of the crime.
Third, you said that most of the restaurant owners have been killed now, and you guessed wrong, because the hotel owner is the real murderer, and he is sitting in front of you now! ”
Xu Rui frowned when he heard this: "It turns out that this matter is actually your own hand, no wonder, with your martial arts, you can indeed do it seamlessly." ”
Xiao Hu laughed again: "You are not exhausted, at least I still beat you by half a son!" ”
Xu Rui shrugged: "Are these details important?" ”
"Of course it is!"
Xiaohu said gloomily: "Only by being on an equal footing with you can I say the conditions of cooperation with peace of mind, otherwise the cooperation between you and me will not be equal from the beginning." ”
Xu Rui glanced at him deeply, and said lightly: "Okay, for the sake of you saving An Ge, this time I will let you talk about the conditions." ”
Xiao Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, ready to move out the abdominal draft that had already been typed, but he didn't notice that the corners of Xu Rui's mouth were hung with a strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if everything was under control.
