Eighteen Behind the Facts

"What nonsense are you talking about? The murderers are all dead, and the case has been solved! "The detective tried to save face.

"Idiot!" Cheng Shuai said without looking at it.

The detective was about to have a seizure, but was yelled at by Chen Weiwei, and everyone looked at the two detectives suspiciously, waiting for the two detectives to explain.

Tang Peng walked up to the detective and said to him very politely:

"Please repeat your reasoning."

"Ahh - This ......"

Everyone immediately focused on the detective, but this time he seemed a little overwhelmed, and stammered, "I think it is: Joey was very unconvinced that Chandler handed over the group to Hagrid, so he had a bad intention, and together with Wang Yu, he planned to murder Hagrid, and after the murder failed, he wanted to do it in the hospital, but he was killed by Hagrid in self-defense......."

Tang Peng nodded, turned back to everyone with a serious expression and said, "This is exactly the fact that the murderer wants to show us......

"Cut! People always think that what they see is the truth, but they don't know what kind of truth lies behind the facts! The fact you see is that Joey designed to kill Hagrid, but the truth we see is ......" Cheng Shuai was afraid that Tang Peng would take the limelight alone, so he hurriedly snatched Tang Peng's words and said.

"It's Ge who is designing to kill Joey!" Tang Peng didn't wait for Cheng Shuai to finish.

"Tang Peng, fuck you! (steal the limelight from me) ......"

Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes looked at Hagrid, who at first looked at the two detectives with a puzzled expression, and then suddenly laughed:

"Now I really regret looking for you - you guys are amazing! - But, how do you know? ”

"What! Hagrid! You ......"

"Ahh Master, why is that! ”

"This ...... How is this possible! "Everyone immediately turned on the pot and looked at Hagrid with different expressions. The Bill Group's people immediately prepared to take action and asked the people involved to go out and prepare to close the hospital.

"! It's noisy! Be quiet and listen to us! Cheng Shuai shouted, and everyone gradually quieted down.

"Actually, from asking us to investigate your father's case to your 'self-defense' shooting Joey, it was all a game you planned, Mr. Hagrid!" Tang Peng paused.

"! Lao Tzu was played by you as a monkey, I am really fucking unwilling! Cheng Shuai said angrily, "Although you took over your father's group, most of the group's identity is Joey, you are actually a nominal 'puppet emperor'! So, in order to really grasp the real power of the group, you decided to kill Joey!" ...... So you die outside of your father, and you gradually come up with a plan and start to implement it, you first find an unknown detective to investigate the cause of your father's death - do you remember that when you came to ask us to find that dog of the dust, someone shot at the detective agency......"

"Actually, that's what you arranged, and you had two small actions at that time, first, look at your watch. Second, walk alone to the windowsill. Looking at the watch is actually to determine the agreed time, and walking to the windowsill should be deliberately letting the person you arrange to see your position! - After the gunshots rang out, you didn't let people call the police, and what was even stranger was that there was no look of confusion, so we knew - it was arranged by you! At the time, we just thought that your purpose was to make us treat your case as a murder, and to imply that we should not do what you were supposed to do, when in fact you were simply trying to let us know that someone was trying to murder you—sorry, you would be wrong. Tang Peng took over.

"Damn, you're stealing the limelight from me again! Tang Peng! When Lao Tzu speaks, you also give me silence! Cheng Shuai roared,

“…… A sucker! Tang Pengli ignored Cheng Shuai.

Cheng Shuai jumped up and was about to pounce, but was stopped by Chen Weiwei.

"Okay, okay, it's important to solve the case, Cheng Shuai, you go on!

"Damn,, don't intervene when Lao Tzu talks about the case! - So, you invited us to a banquet, deliberately let us see Joey and Wang Yu talking, and induced us to investigate Joey and Wang Yu - in fact, Joey asked Wang Yu to ask you! Then you take us to the butler's room, and take the opportunity to tell us about you and Joey, and the reason why you didn't bring us to your room is that you have already set up the layout of Chandler's room. ”

"What layout?" the crowd asked.

Tang Peng sighed, pointed to Hagrid's injury and said:

"Attack your own layout!"

Everyone looked at Hagrid in surprise, but Hagrid still smiled.

"And how do you see that?"

"Two bulky ashtrays on the table!" Tang Peng replied coldly

"Huh? Ashtray? - What's so strange about that? The detective looked at Tang Peng puzzled.

"Idiot! Isn't that weird enough? - Do you have two ashtrays on a table? Cheng Shuai looked at the inspector contemptuously, the detective's face was flushed with anger, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to hold back.

Tang Peng continued: "I also found fine strangulation marks on the doorknob and chandelier, if I guessed correctly, there should be one on the gun, but because it is made of iron, I can't see it." ”

"But what does that mean?" Someone asked curiously

"Cut! How stupid! Cheng Shuai sighed, "The doorknob and the chandelier, plus the pistol, the ashtray and the position between each other - don't you understand enough?" ”

Everyone was still puzzled, Chen Weiwei thought about it,

"Fix the pistol with two ashtrays, tie the trigger with a strong thin wire, and tie it to the doorknob through the drop light - so that the trigger will be triggered as soon as the door opens! Can...... Isn't that too risky? ”

"So—it takes trial and error, and I've heard Hagrid's family say that after Chandler's death, Hagrid kept himself alone in his father's room for days crying — just to practice and adjust!" Tang Peng replied

"It turns out that this is what is written on the 'Book of Heaven'!" Wu Wenfei came out of nowhere, "So-what does that single large dumbbell mean?"

"Hey! You idiot is so elusive! Cheng Shuai was taken aback.

“...... I've been here all the time, but I haven't spoken, you haven't noticed! ……”

“...... Cut! You're really stupid enough, gym dumbbells are usually a pair, and now there is one less, and you still don't understand? Cheng Shuai said.

"I understand, the murderer used this dumbbell to break the glass......" Chen Weiwei said slowly.

"That's right! I asked the butler that the butler had not heard the sound of breaking the glass after hearing the gunshot, which meant that the glass had been broken in advance, in order to fabricate the illusion that a murderer had shot and broken the glass and then fled, but this was actually a fatal mistake made by Hagrid. Tang Peng pointed at Hagrid and said.

"Oh! So what was this mistake I made? Hagrid asked with interest.

"But I don't understand: that glass may have been broken by Wang Yu with a dumbbell in advance," the detective asked puzzled.

"Fingerprints!" Cheng Shuai became serious and stared at Hagrid, "Because Wang Yu likes to shoot, Hagrid should often have the opportunity to meet and socialize with him, and it is not difficult to get a pistol with Wang Yu's fingerprints as Mr. Hagrid - but Hagrid forgot that if Wang Yu broke the glass with a dumbbell to escape, that dumbbell should also have Mr. Wang Yu's fingerprints on it!" ”

Hagrid paused for a moment and asked slowly:

"Did you find the dumbbell?"

"Don't look for it, there is an artificial lake not far from Chandler's window, and the dumbbell fell into the artificial lake after breaking the glass at that time, and I also asked Chen Weiwei to ask someone to find it! The test result is the same as I thought, there is no fingerprint of Mr. Wang Yu on it! Tang Peng paused, "You deliberately shot yourself and then talked to Joey alone, you should be trying to trick Joey into coming to you quietly in the middle of the night, shoot him while he doesn't pay attention to you, and then put the pistol prepared in advance in Joey's hand......"

Nineteen came out

"Slap, slap, slap" Hagrid couldn't help but applaud,

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful! So- why should I ask you to solve the case and expose me? ”

"Damn," Cheng Shuai shouted, "The purpose of you inviting us here is to help you cheat." ”

"What?" The crowd was taken aback.

Tang Peng said with a dark face: "As Cheng Shuai said at the beginning, from the time you invited us to the time you killed Joey was your layout, ask two unknown little detectives to investigate a hundred-year-old mystery - 'Bill's Curse', and a murder case that happened a few days ago and most of the clues were closed!" Give us another three-day deadline! - All you have to do is give us a chance to become famous when we can't solve the case at all! ”

"What do you mean?" Everyone asked puzzled.

"! You guys are stupid enough, he thinks we can't solve the case at all, and deliberately leads us down the path that the murderer is Joey, so that we can testify for him - the mastermind of the whole affair is Joey! Chandler was killed by Joey, and I, Hagrid, were almost killed! - Deliberately let us investigate that Wang Yu and Joey are good friends, deliberately let us know that Joey had been arguing with Chandler for a few days before him, and deliberately let us see Joey at the banquet and privately invite Wang Yu to make us think they have some conspiracy! Let's come out and testify against Joey, and solve the case by the way, so far! We have gone from being unknown to being a celebrity who has solved big cases in one fell swoop! - He thinks that although we will see the flaws, we will pretend not to know for the sake of the future! Damn—you're looking at the wrong person," Cheng Shuai yelled angrily.

"Haha...... So what is the evidence? Hagrid was still smiling.

Tang Peng sighed, looked at Hagrid and said, "The evidence is Joey." ”

"What, Joey? Isn't he dead? Everyone looked at Tang Peng in surprise, waiting for an explanation.

"Haha!" Cheng Shuai suddenly laughed, "Although Tang Peng is an idiot! But you're not an idiot enough to know the plan and let you kill people......"

"Smack" A cup smashed into Cheng Shuai's face, and Cheng Shuai immediately had a nosebleed, "Tang Peng, fuck you!" Cheng Shuai jumped up to fight back, but was pulled by everyone.

"It's important to solve the case! It's important to solve the case!"

"Alas...... () - After Joey and you came out alone, I quietly told him about your plans! - Who knows if he believes it or not, insisting that I am joking" Tang Peng sweated for a moment, "So, I used some extraordinary means, he is now lying in the next ward to 'rest' (the hand seems to be a little heavier), and asked Chen Weiwei to do me a favor: ask a policeman about the same size as Joey to mix with Joey and come to your ward late at night!" Tang Peng stopped and looked at Hagrid.

Hagrid froze for a moment, and finally a panicked look appeared on his face.

"Because you didn't dare to turn on the lights at the time, and mistook him for Joey...... Do you want me to bring the policeman in and ask what you said before shooting? ”

“...... No, I plead guilty! Hagrid's face regained its composure, and he smiled as he looked at the two young detectives and said, "You two have a bright future!" INTERVIEWER Do you have any rivals in the detective world of the younger generation? ”

"Opponent! Haha......" Cheng Shuai suddenly became serious after laughing for a while and said: "My two friends: Chen Xi and Tao Ran - their reasoning ability is not below us, but, one of them is a reporter and the other is a psychiatrist, so we are invincible!" Haha......"

"Tao Ran!?" Hagrid was taken aback, "My psychiatrist is also called Tao Ran, and he is the one who recommended you to me. ”

"Ah......" Cheng Shuai and Tang Peng were taken aback.

......

(Aftermath)

"How did you know the truth about Bill's Curse?" Chen Weiwei still asked with doubts on his face,

Cheng Shuai stretched, looked at Chen Weiwei, and replied disapprenously:

"It's all up to you for that expensive man's information! It's almost all of it. ”

"What? I've read that material many times, and I haven't found anything strange, huh? ”

Tang Peng also stretched his body and slowly explained:

"There are three things in your account that can solve the whole mystery: First, Gwille saved the life of a tribesman in Deya, who swore to serve him for generations. Second, the people of the 'Deya' tribe are extremely loyal and valued to their tribe and oaths. Third, after making his fortune, Gwill took in a wanderer from afar and held him very seriously, and that man had been a steward in the Bill family for generations. ”

"What? That's all you have to say? Isn't this too ......?" Chen Weiwei thought it was incredible.

"Ahh Cheng Shuai suddenly screamed, startling Chen Weiwei.

"What's wrong?"

"Our commission fee! Uncle Policeman, don't take Hagrid away yet! Let him settle the account first......" Cheng Shuai roared and rushed out.

Tang Peng and Chen Weiwei sighed helplessly.

"In fact, the so-called reasoning is just the result of the integration of imagination and speculation, and many times people have already guessed a thing correctly, but they are afraid of being wrong and dare not say it." Tang Peng replied to Chen Weiwei's doubts just now.

Chen Weiwei thought for a while and smiled slightly:

"I now know why Cheng Shuai rejected me and chose you as a partner...... Alas! ——" After speaking, he sighed, and his face showed some anxiety.

Tang Peng saw that he had something on his mind, and asked softly:

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing - it's not my mischievous sister Chen Yi, one of her 'good sisters' died unexpectedly in a hotel room, she cried and vowed to find the murderer - although she claims to be a master of reasoning, but in the past few days, several 'murderers' have been sent to the police station with bruised noses and swollen faces......"

Tang Peng thought for a while, looked up and asked Chen Weiwei:

"Is it room 608 of the 'Haotian Hotel'?"

"That's right! - Have you read the newspaper? ”

“...... There have been five murders in that room this month......" Tang Peng's eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.

"yes, you seem to be interested, why don't you go and solve the case?"

Tang Peng's face suddenly showed an indifferent expression:

"There is no one to give us a commission, we are detectives, not nosy boring people, and we will not take care of unpaid cases."
