Chapter 205 Death and Rebirth IV: Investigation and Baozi's Narrative
There was no ceiling light in the basement, and the only light source was only a few small wall lamps on the edge of the wall.
Before Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao entered, the police had already brought in temporary lighting tools for the investigation, so at this moment, the basement of Atum's hut was illuminated as daylight.
Even in the overlapping doors, there were many small lights. In order to understand the overall structure of the basement, Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao did not directly enter the secret passage to check, but first came to the basement hall.
Standing in front of the four open doors, Mo Haiyou looked at both sides of the room and said, "Xiao Yao, summarize the clues so far, I'll listen to how many inferences you can draw." ”
"Xiao Zuo, some of my reasoning and evidence may not coincide." Yun Yeyao reminded Mr. Forensic that Mo Haiyou would criticize his intuition again after he said it.
"I want to hear it, and I'll analyze how much it will adopt." Mo Haiyou replied coldly, he always looked like this when he was working, and Yun Yeyao was used to it.
Lowering his head to sort out his thoughts, Yun Yeyao said: "It's mainly in the kitchen and living room, as well as the clues obtained within the range of the four rooms here, and there are not many valuable things in the small room and secret passage downstairs at all." ”
"Combined with the four house numbers here, I can roughly analyze the basic state of the family, as well as their respective whereabouts, and the relationship between the green leaves in the oak area and the green leaves here must not be ordinary." Yun Ye Yao walked around, taking turns to cover each door and take down the door number on it.
Because he wasn't wearing gloves, Mo Haiyou frowned slightly, but he didn't plan to interrupt Yun Yeyao at this time, so he continued to be silent and listened to what Mr. Actor said.
"I think the evidence that the police officers collected in the room before is enough to tell the story, so there is no need to go in and re-investigate now. I feel that the turning point from S City to N City and back here has really been surprising to me. He was more complicated than Lucifer had at the time. ”
"Let's talk about the kitchen first, the place where the body fell was between two chairs, everyone has seen the situation in the kitchen, it is easy to leave traces, under the head of the corpse, we can see a pair of footprints that are obviously men's, indicating that this person is sitting in front of the deceased and discussing something with him."
"I can't guess what it was, but one thing is for sure, the deceased must have heard something that shocked or frightened him, and then got up from his chair and approached the person who spoke to him. This can be seen in the facial expressions of the deceased, and before he died, he should have wanted to attack the person who spoke to him. ”
"Also, the arm in the pot I believe was also left by the man who spoke to the deceased, but it was not cut off at the time, but at the entrance to the secret passage. The specific time is up to you to judge, I can only make a rough inference. ”
"There were blood-stained gauze threads and dripping blood on the edge of the chair where the speaker was sitting, this could not have been the deceased, the wounds of the deceased were on the back and behind the ears, and the blood flowed out of the shape and position. This indicates that the speaker has suffered an injury to one of his arms or the side of his body. “
"If it's a side of the body, the blood should have slid down the side and then dripped onto the floor, so that the blood would be small and not so dense. If the arm is injured, the general state of blood dripping from the knife edge is actually similar to the one just now. ”
"Blood slid down the side of the arm and then dripped onto the floor, and because of the absorbent capacity of the clothes, there wouldn't be as many blood spots. So I concluded that the man must have had half of his arm broken, so the blood spots on the side of his chair were large and concentrated in one place. Xiao Zuo, do you think I'm right? Yun Yeyao was full of anticipation to ask, no matter how simple the question was, he also hoped to get Xiao Zuo's approval.
Mo Haiyou nodded and said, "Very correct, continue." ”
"If the arm was cut off in the kitchen, that's not right, the cross-section on the arm is so flat that it can be concluded that it was a knife! This kind of injury will cause blood to gush out immediately, but there is no blood splatter on the floor in front of the chair on the side of the chair, so the hypothesis of being cut in the kitchen can be ruled out. ”
"Looking at the entrance of the secret passage, there are fracture marks on both sides, and it is obvious that it has been expanded by something or person. In other words, there is a person or object larger than the door frame that has been forcibly stuck there. On the inside of the stuck spot is the splattered blood stain we just mentioned. ”
"My judgment is that the person sitting in the kitchen talking to the victim did not know what the reason was before entering the kitchen, maybe he was chasing someone, or he was running away, but it was obviously unlikely. Anyway, the man was stuck in the doorframe, and then, someone inside the secret passage tried to kill him with a knife while he couldn't move. ”
"However, the person stuck in the door frame is obviously not a person who is sitting still, or will be incapacitated by panic, I just took a closer look when I passed by the stairs, and the wood on the edge of the door frame was very broken, which shows that the person stuck in it is constantly struggling and writhing."
"It's possible that in a desperate situation, the stuck person blocked the knife with the only arm that could move, so it caused the entire arm to be cut off, and then someone outside rescued him. This brings us to the question of companions. I have always believed that if we ignore the actual crime for the time being, and look at the purpose of the crime on the ideological level, there should be only one murderer in this Atum hut. ”
"But I don't have any prima facie evidence to prove that. Back to the topic, or according to the traces left inside and outside the door frame, let's first look at the external staircase, the blood stains should be said to be very scattered, some into pieces, some in drops scattered everywhere, this Xiaozuo you don't object! ”
"Yes." Mo Haiyou's answers have always been concise and clear, and there is no need to say more, almost all of them respond with yes or no.
Yun Yeyao continued: "The reason for this state shows that this person is very flustered and nervous after getting rid of the shackles, and the people around him are also in a hurry, so his position is constantly moving. ”
"Judge how many people are around him? This point is also very simple, or to go back to the traces left behind, on the staircase in front of the door frame, although there are only some blood spots scattered here, but if you look closely, there are several blood spots that are incomplete, and their shapes are pieced together one by one, as if two semicircular objects are separated there, so that the blood spots are splashed on the shape formed by it. ”
"Move the position forward a little further, and the blood spots on the staircase landing will be complete. What does this mean? It is possible that a person who was frightened and paralyzed kneeled there! Xiao Zuo, in the past few years, I have actually been learning from the teacher, under special circumstances, the physical and mental behaviors that a person can make. It can also be said to be psychology! But I don't think so. ”
"Because in an unexpected state of panic, most people will be stupid and stunned and unable to react; In some cases, they will be scared out of their minds; In some cases, some are milder, and they will lie on the ground and cry or tremble. ”
"Assuming my inference is correct, there is indeed a person kneeling here, and he is stupefied. Then his state should be stunned and unable to react, which is the first type just mentioned. At this time, the person does not fall to the ground with his whole body, but stops after making a specific action, and his mind is focused on the opposite thing that frightens him, until his brain is able to react on the spot. ”
So, there were only traces of the man's knees and toes on the ground, but the toes were hidden behind them, and the blood that had spilled out could not be touched. Okay, so let's find the first companion for the man who is stuck in the doorframe, but where is his second companion? On top of the back and forth footprints. ”
"There is a set of half-back and forth footprints in the opening of the door frame of the secret passage, although they are incomplete, but they can still be clearly seen at a glance. A relatively small set of footprints rushed from the top of the staircase to the front of the door frame, paused in the front of the door frame, and kept stepping on and overlapping, indicating that the person outside was desperately trying to rescue the person who was stuck on the door frame. ”
"In the end, they succeeded, and then the two of them ran up the stairs again, so the reverse footprints showed the appearance of two people, one large and one small, and the blood stains were obviously splashed near the big footprints, and the injured must be the owner of the big footprints, and the owner of the small footprints was probably a woman."
"As far as I can tell, there were at least four people present at the time of the broken arm incident at the door frame of the staircase. This is part of the obvious evidence to illustrate, so let's analyze a little bit of clues based on the house number. ”
Yun Yeyao handed the first door number to Mo Hai's right hand according to the order of the room, and it read, 'Jiu Yin, from 6 am to 12 noon, please prepare plenty of water. Yun Yeyao continued: "If the water is concerned, either the person in the room is a person with throat or trachea problems, and it needs to be used to relieve coughing. ”
"Either the people in the room can't help but like to talk, so they need to drink water at any time; In addition, it is not excluded that some special groups of people who are prone to excrete a large amount of water are excluded. So it's hard to guess at that. Xiaozuo, what is your opinion? Yun Yeyao asked.
Mo Hai walked to the door of Jiu Yin's room and said, "It's an autistic person, come and see, there are dolls, golden threads, puzzles, red skirts, and so on." There are four pairs of lovers here, indicating that at least one pair of lovers lives in each room, and the sick man should be the man, and these things on the ground are the props he uses to maintain a sense of security, first of all, there are dolls and skirts in the room, which represent the symbol of the girl, and red and gold are warm colors, which usually represent joyful and positive meanings. It shows that this man is very dependent on the girl who lives with him. ”
"Secondly, the puzzle represents patience, indicating that when the girl is not there, she needs the man to be patient, and the puzzle lid is a pattern of an animal forest, all of which are in warm tones, but it avoids a large area of bright red, indicating that the man needs patience and warmth, but can not be too excited."
"There are a lot of puzzle pieces, and the box says that there are more than 33,000 pieces, which is supposed to train the man's patience so that he can complete one thing calmly and balancedly. And then there's the question of water, and if you look closely, what else is there on these puzzle pieces besides blood? Mo Haiyou reminded Yun Yeyao.
But Yun Yeyao answered a question that the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth: "Xiao Zuo, you are also farsighted?" ”
"What?" Mo Haiyou looked sideways for a while, looked at Yun Yeyao suspiciously, and listened to him continue: "In addition to blood stains on the puzzle, there are many black stains, especially on the edges, which shows that people who often play puzzles are prone to sweating a lot. I can see it very clearly at the door, and you are the same, Xiao Zuo, you obviously know that I am farsighted, why do you hide the same features as me, and our faces are so similar! ”
"That's it!!" Mo Haiyou was suddenly very angry, and his tone raised a lot: "Please don't say irrelevant things at the murder scene!!"
Suddenly, Yun Yeyao, who was yelled, flattened his lips and swallowed the words behind, he was very aggrieved, in order for Xiao Zuo to admit the brotherhood between them, Yun Yeyao has always seen the stitches, and reminded Mo Haiyou in his own way, but ...... Unwilling to think about it anymore, Yun Yeyao lowered his head to adjust his emotions.
Mo Haiyou actually knew that he had lost his temper after yelling, but his temper and personality made him have no way to comfort Yun Yeyao, so he could only pretend to be casual and continue to speak, in fact, the pain in his heart was no less than that of Yun Yeyao.
"Xiao Yao, people with more serious autism usually hide themselves in a certain corner, not eating or drinking, but this can easily lead to prostration, so they probably agreed that at a specific time period, everyone will leave, leaving only this Jiuyin and his lover together, so that he can replenish water and food well."
"And this large amount of water should not only be provided to Jiu Yin, his lover also needs it, it is not an easy thing to accompany an autistic person around the clock, it takes a lot of energy, and it may also need to talk a lot to get his attention, so they will write like this on the door number, so that the person who prepared the water will not forget."
After Mo Haiyou finished speaking, he paused, waiting for Yun Yeyao to analyze the people in the second room.
At this time, Yun Yeyao also raised his head again, and the expression on his face could no longer see the traces just now, he handed the second door number to Mo Haiyou, and said: "The second door number reads 'Foolish, from 12 noon to 18 o'clock in the evening, the stones and grass are under my control', I think the stone should refer to the viral warts on this person's body, and the crust that fell in the corner of the room is indeed as hard as a stone." But this has nothing to do with the grass. ”
"One guess is that when he got rid of the warts, he needed to apply herbs like the deceased in the kitchen, but the herbs in the kitchen were basically put into the soup pot and should be ready to be eaten, so it is unlikely that he would apply them externally. Another speculation is that he needs to use other things to distract himself in order to achieve other therapeutic effects. ”
"And, in my opinion, viral warste is not a reason for the person to end up in seclusion, because there are many people who have warts, and it is also a condition that is relatively easy to treat. So I can only judge from the appearance in his room. ”
"The interior of this room is in stark contrast to the bed, which is messy and looks like people are sleeping often, while the rest of the furnishings are neat, and even a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the sides, indicating that no one is cleaning it regularly."
"When we look at the living room, there are a lot of simple potted plants, they are not like those planted by people who like potted plants, and some of them have withered due to improper planting, indicating that the person who fiddles with them is not a hobbyist, but needs to use them to kill time."
"So, I think the grass on this sign is those potted plants, and the owner of the room is a narcolepsy who needs to be distracted for a specific 6 hours to keep himself from falling asleep again, which is the real reason why he lives in seclusion here."
"Very good," Mo Haiyou praised, and then said, "Next is the third sign." ”
"The third sign reads: 'Rotten She, from 6 p.m. to midnight, offers plenty of meat.' , There are not too many strange places in this room, but if you look closely, there are more or less traces of vandalism on the chairs and some small furniture, and the inside of the door panel is also, Xiao Zuo, you see, there are dents of kicks and fists, indicating that this person must have a bad temper, and he is a person with a lot of strength. ”
"I guess he's the one with the broken arm, because from the traces he gave us before, it shows that he has a lot of strength. As for the meat, the word "provide" is used on it, and it is possible that the meat is not to be eaten by himself, but to be cooked for those who come after him during his time period. ”
"After him, it should be the deceased's room," Yun Yeyao said with the fourth door plate facing Mo Haiyou; "You see his door sign says refuse all guests, and his time is from 0:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., what customers will come during this time? It can only be said that this person needs to hide the deepest, maybe in addition to his physical pain, he has other ulterior secrets that need to be hidden. ”
"In this way, the best person in the third room is the one who is in the third room, and we can assume that after he found out that some of the people in the fourth room would implicate them, he became angry and killed this man named Feng Xi, and then ran away, perhaps Feng Xi attacked him from inside the secret passage, and then he killed him in the kitchen. Others, frightened, fled the room. ”
"Maybe there are holes in all of the above reasoning, but that's all I can think of at the moment."
After Yun Yeyao finished speaking, Mo Haiyou immediately picked up and said: "These are enough for now, I will conduct a detailed examination of the body and evidence as soon as possible, we are currently going to search the whole city to arrest the people in this house, which requires a lot of manpower." Xiao Yao, leave the scene later, I will send you home, you have been staying at home for a few days to rest, and you are not allowed to act privately without calling me in the future. Hear me? ”
"No, you said I could be involved in the whole process." Yun Yeyao was a little angry, he was not a patient, and he didn't come up with a final answer, how could he rest at ease?
"I'll let you know when all the suspects are arrested. Besides, you can't help with the search for criminals! Mo Haiyou said.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yeyao smiled and responded to the forensic doctor mysteriously: "Maybe I can help!" You can't go wrong with being a person who makes suggestions. ”
"I can guess all your suggestions, otherwise, do you think I'm stupid?" Mo Haiyou put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the back door of the basement, and Yun Yeyao had to follow him closely.
"Where are you going to start?"
"Starting from the police message from the shelter or some well-wishers, the autistic person can't go far depending on his situation, and since he can't even step out of his home, it's even more impossible to go to the airport. They are bound to encounter obstacles on their way, and for now, they can only start with these places. ”
"If you can't find it, then consider the area around the airport, as well as people who have recently left the city by plane. Of course, there will be police officers in all places to ensure that no suspicious person leaves within the time frame of the investigation. ”
"Let me follow your little Zuo, I promise not to make trouble, and I won't mention anything that makes you unhappy, okay?" Yun Yeyao quickly followed the forensic doctor, pleading. This is something he would never do with Xie Yunmeng, because Xie Yunmeng's mind is much more obvious than that of a forensic doctor.
Mo Haiyou didn't veto him, he just came to the back door to check on his own, but when he climbed the stairs, he still reached out and clasped Yun Yeyao's hand, indicating that the forensic doctor always cared about Mr. Actor in his heart.
After leaving the back door, the two of them entered the street where Mo Haiyou saw Yu Yu standing, Mo Haiyou recognized it at a glance, and remembered the strange scene he saw by the window at that time.
According to the current analysis, it shows that what he may have seen at that time was indeed a living person, and the large area of something like tree roots on the man's shoulders and face, if it was really caused by viral warts, it would be too serious, Mo Haiyou couldn't help but be taken aback in his heart, and a creepy feeling rose. He had never seen a case like this before.
If this kind of patient is treated, it will take a long process, and the whole body cryotherapy is not such a comfortable thing, Mo Haiyou feels that it is urgent to find those people, whether it is because of the case or because of their condition. The police need to get the information as soon as possible.
Just when Mo Haiyou was thinking like this, the police officer who received the call from the hospital was already on his way to Atum's hut.
——
The first couple found, as we guessed before, was Jiu Yin and Baozi, they were sent to the aid station by kind passers-by, and after the aid station found that Jiu Yin's condition was particularly serious, they directly called 120 and sent Jiu Yin, who was constantly struggling, to the hospital. And Baozi can only be passively accompanied throughout the whole process, and besides, she has no better way to think of it.
More than two hours after Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao left Atum's hut, they saw a pale and exhausted bun in the police station.
Baozi's original name was Bao Yanjun, and then we will call her Xiaojun, which is more beautiful. The following is Jun's statement to the medical examiner and the actor.
"The first person to buy Atum's hut is indeed Qingguo and Aoba, we only know that they are a brother and sister, and the reason for Qingguo's seclusion is also very simple, one is because of his special status as a couple with his boyfriend, and the second is to have a place where no one will disturb him and help Feng Xi treat his skin disease."
"In other words, the actual owner of Atum's hut is Aoba, right?" Yun Ye asked.
"Yes, Aoba is both the actual owner and the manager. Just like the big housekeeper of the family, he is the only one who accompanies the people in the basement and lives in the house 24 hours a day. All three of us girls have our own jobs, so we can't stay at home all the time. ”
"Among the three girls, I stayed for the longest time, followed by the ghost, she will come every day in the time when the fool appears, and the rest of the time will be mixed in the streets, don't get me wrong, the ghost doesn't do anything unseemly, although he was a bad girl before, but it's just a superficial thing."
"Actually, the ghost has a special problem, and that is that her eyes can't focus. This ......" Xiaojun said this, I don't know what words to use to express it more appropriately? So I thought about it for a while before continuing: "It's a bit like an old man with cataracts, who always has double vision when he sees things, and can't correctly align himself with the places he needs to see. ”
"Anyway, I don't know what it's called, and the ghost himself has never told us the reason, in our family, everyone has a tacit understanding, and what others don't want to say, they will consciously restrain themselves and don't ask."
"Especially ghosts are easy to lose their temper, which is very similar to the grumpy Mr. Rancher, anyway, as long as there are two of them at home, it will be very noisy, so we arranged the time for Mr. Fool to appear between 12 noon and 6 pm, because at this time, Mr. Rotten House will not sleep, plus when the ghost comes, the interaction between the two people can easily make Mr. Fool, who suffers from narcolepsy, wake up."
Xiao Jun's above words have proved that Yun Yeyao's guess about the men in the second and third rooms is correct. However, Yun Yeyao still asked: "Xiaojun, why don't you look at the viral wart on your body, it shouldn't be too difficult to cure." ”
"Alas..."Yun Yeyao's question made Xiao Jun sigh softly, and she replied: "It's not that I don't want to see it, but it's already like that, and Mr. Yu doesn't have much courage to dare to go out of the door, haven't you seen his appearance?" The whole body, especially the shoulders and face, are as rough as the bark of a tree, and the shoulders are raised high, and not only that, but sometimes the thick crust is rubbed off and the blood will immediately flow. ”
"Mr. Yuyu told us that he was also a poor man with no relatives, and he didn't pay attention to it when he first found out about this kind of thing on his body since he was a child, thinking that he would fall off and get better soon. As a result, the longer I grow, the more inferior I become, and I don't even dare to go to the street, let alone go to the hospital. Coupled with his own narcolepsy, it was already a big trouble, so he would rather hide in the house than let others see him more than he did. ”
"The things on Mr. Fool's body, since a few years ago, seem to have stopped growing, and the ghost keeps gently grinding off the surface of the crust, and now it looks much better than it used to be. The two of them always like to do these things in the middle of the day, in a sunny place with a window of light. ”
"At that time, Mr. Fool will roll up his body with curtains, and then let the ghost sit on his knees, the height of the ghost is relatively high among girls, and in a condescending situation, let the ghost file the hard skin on his face with a sharp slender file."
When Xiao Jun said this, Mo Haiyou suddenly realized and said, "No wonder when I saw two figures in the window that day, one person was holding a pointed thing and condescendingly aimed at the other's head!" At that time, due to the shadows and the strange appearance of the foolishness, I took them for dummies. ”
"The reason why the two of them are still is probably training the eyes of the ghosts." Mo Haiyou asked.
"Yes," replied Jun, "it is true, it is not only a cure for the fools, but also a cure for the ghosts, killing two birds with one stone." ”
"Tell me about the day of the murder, Jun." Yun Yeyao interjected.
"In fact, during this time, we have been brewing a plan, which is to fake our death in the villa, and then run to live around the oak district of N City, which no one cares about, and for this plan, Aoba has traveled back and forth to N City several times."
"Why choose there?" Yun Ye asked.
"It's Qingguo and Aoba's proposal, it's Qingguo's hometown, and it's convenient for him to continue to protect our secrets by returning to the village. This incident is also caused by the re-expansion and reconstruction of the street, the previous time, our house was kept because it was not in the expansion area, but this time, there was no way to refuse, so Qingguo remembered to take us back to his hometown. ”
"And for the past few years, Aoba has been going there to catch a special kind of fish and cook it with herbs to treat Mr. Feng Xi's skin ulcers."
"Do you really think that works?"
"It works! As soon as he drank the herb broth, the pain in Mr. Feng Xi's body would be immediately relieved, and his spirit would improve. He's really, very dependent on this soup. As soon as we received the demolition information, we immediately started to make arrangements, I don't know why? Mr. Feng Xi firmly disagreed with us doing this, he felt that there was no way to hide it when he went back there, first of all, the problem of the house would not be easy to solve. But Qingguo is very confident, he said, after receiving the compensation, everything will be resolved. ”
"The two of them have always been a couple of lovers with very unified opinions, but in this matter, the two people have great differences. I don't have the energy to ask more, anyway, everything is arranged by Qingguo, I can only try my best to take care of Mr. Jiuyin. ”
"The first person to be arranged to fake his death is me and Mr. Jiu Yin, because we need to leave S City for the longest time, can Mr. Jiu Yin reach the airport? It was a serious problem, and I didn't have any confidence at all. ”
"Jun, what's the matter with the wound on your neck? Was he attacked by a murderer while he was running away? "Yun Ye saw the stitches and asked questions.
This made Xiao Jun's eyes dim, and it could be seen that she had been worried about her lover in the hospital, and after a few seconds of silence, Xiao Jun continued: "No, it's Mr. Jiu Yin...... But it's not his fault, he's so miserable that he just wants to go to another world with me and live a happy life. At that time, I didn't understand the meaning of what he said, so it caused a misunderstanding. ”
"Mr. Jiuyin, like me, was also injured in this incident. We escaped from the house before dawn yesterday morning, and I don't know anything about the rest of the day. ”
"After you left, who was left in Atum's hut?"
"There are still five people left, Qingguo, Mr. Foolish, Ghost, Mr. Rotten House and Mr. Feng Xi, and Aoba has not returned in N City." Jun replied honestly.
