Chapter 238: The House of Strange Riddles VII
The light of the candle can only illuminate the range of the dining table, because of the darkness, there seems to be a strange and terrifying atmosphere in the air, so everyone looks gloomy, and even the black shadow unconsciously sinks down with everyone.
The first person to speak was Yun Yeyao, who was about to say something, but was interrupted by a dark shadow.
"Mr. Yun, can we hurry up and let Mr. Criminal Police directly tell the result of the case."
"Cheng Ji, why are you in such a hurry? If you say the result directly, you won't understand the process of the matter at all, and we must let everyone know the truth. ”
"You're not a criminal policeman, and no one will be convinced if you speak for him." The dark shadow was visibly impatient with Yun Yeyao's statement.
Xie Yunmeng, who was beside him, said at the right time: "Mr. Cheng, please listen to Xiao Yao's reasoning quietly, don't talk so much nonsense." ”
"You... How am I talking nonsense? As a criminal policeman, you don't tell everyone the truth, but let an actor reason, aren't you allowed to question it? Mr. Duan, you are here to judge, in the end, I am not wrong! ”
The black shadow wanted to arouse everyone's rebellious emotions, but the result was still silent, Duan Hongye didn't want to speak at all, he turned his head away with a broken jar, and didn't look at the black shadow at all.
The other little girls shrunk their bodies tighter, and the black shadow turned to Granny Yan's direction and said, "Mother-in-law, what do you say?" ”
"I ...... I don't know what to do, just what about Mr. Criminal Police and Mr. Yun! ”
"You ......"
"Xiao Yao! Here we go! Xie Yunmeng didn't want the black shadow to continue talking nonsense, and urged Yun Yeyao in a very stern voice, the black shadow was afraid of the majesty of Mr. Criminal Police, so he had to keep his mouth shut, but he was not discouraged by this failure, and kept thinking of other countermeasures.
Yun Yeyao cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I know that I am just an actor and cannot really make everyone happy, but I will try my best to explain all the details of the case." Of course, the final conclusion still depends on Xiao Zuo and Xiao Meng to judge, and I just narrate the whole process of the incident in advance. ”
"The origin of this incident is not here, but in Xiao Meng and Xiao Zuo's hometown S City. I was busy there on a theatrical tour, and in the theatre where the theatre was performing, a colleague of mine, who was also an important actor in the theatre, told me and Xiao Meng about a terrible incident that he had encountered by chance. ”
"In order to bring you into the story more clearly, I will briefly describe the content of the story. A month ago, the person concerned had not yet begun to arrange a performance, so he came here to relax, and contacted a friend of his, who lived here, who was said to be the owner of the Asuka Grass Inn. ”
"I don't know the name of this boss, I haven't met him, and all the information comes from the actor's narration, so I can't describe his appearance and identity in detail now, so I will temporarily call him the owner of Asuka Grass, and we will use the narrator of the story as a drama actor."
"The owner of Asuka Grass invited the actor to stay in his hotel for a few days, because he was out of town and could not come back immediately. So the drama actor had no choice but to accept this suggestion. However, when he went to look for the hotel according to the information given by the owner of Asuka Grass, he could not find it. ”
"It took a whole day, until midnight, he finally arrived at his destination, and the exterior and interior structure of the Asuka Grass Hotel in his description were very close to what Xiao Zuo and I saw, indicating that he really visited Asuka Grass and was not making up stories to deceive us."
"After the actor entered the Asuka grass, he first met an old woman with blisters and abscesses on her face, this old woman's appearance was very strange and terrifying, in his original words, 'almost impossible to eat', so the actor really didn't eat and went straight to the room to sleep."
"I won't describe the house in detail here, the appearance of the two Bird Grass has long been engraved in everyone's minds, and I will only mention a few key parts."
"First, the actor saw the little white dog lying in the colored powder, and in his description, the little white dog was motionless, as if unconscious and as if it were a model. But then he saw the little white dog barking at him again. ”
"Second, there was a big yellow dog lying in the kitchen, with erosions and blisters underneath its body, and it was definitely a highly decomposed corpse. Third, in the kitchen, the actor also grabbed a person's arm, which almost scared him out. ”
"Fourth, on the night when the actor entered Asuka Grass, the caretaker's mother-in-law came to open the door for a long time, and she seemed very unhappy, and turned off the lights before he could go upstairs, causing him to almost fall down the stairs."
Fifthly, the playwright, because he was afraid, woke up at five o'clock the next day, and he heard the sound of someone sharpening his sword, which was neither upstairs nor downstairs, but from the upper and lower mezzanines. I deduced the meaning of this from his original words. ”
"Sixth, he found that the caretaker's mother-in-law was actually killed under the door panel of his room, and the pustules on his entire face were broken, as if his face had melted, and then the actor was locked in the Asuka Grass Hotel, that is, he couldn't open the door, and he couldn't call for help, and he was chased by the little white dog frantically, and he was not able to escape until he broke the window."
"At that time, during the narration, the drama actor gave me and Xiao Meng a rough time, and the wounds on his shoulders and forearms were indeed like smashing doors and windows. At this point, we will leave it aside even if he is true. ”
"Seventh, and most bizarrely, after the actor escaped from the hotel, he actually saw a police station on the side of the road, and the police officer who listened to him describe the horror did not give a damn about it."
"Not only did he fail to fulfill his duty to find out the truth and protect the citizens, but he also greeted the 'corpse' of the administrator's mother-in-law who chased after him, causing the poor drama actor to continue to flee."
"Regarding the description of the police station, after the confirmation of the parties here and our own observations, there is no police station near the Flying Bird Grass that Xiao Zuo and I entered, and there is indeed a police station near the Flying Bird Grass that Xiao Meng entered, but it is not in the place described by the drama actor."
"The above are all the key points in the story at that time, let me talk about the doubts that I found after Xiao Zuo and I arrived at Asuka Grass, and the compatibility of these doubts with the above key points."
"First of all, Xiao Zuo and I found that except for the fact that there is no police station, the periphery is basically the same as the description of the drama actors, so the periphery of the house can be brushed aside, and there is no need to say more. Secondly, after entering Asuka Grass, we met the caretaker mother-in-law and Moji, who was very welcoming and showed nothing but joy for our arrival. I get the impression that he wants and is waiting for us to pass. ”
"This Moji's identity involves a few of you, so I'll let it go for now without going into details. Next, I will mention Xiao Zuo's profession, he is a forensic doctor, and is constantly learning the deceased's appearance restoration and disguise special effects makeup and other specialties, Xiao Zuo's teacher I am not convenient to mention the name here, but it is very authoritative. ”
"This mentor currently has an apprentice, who is a well-known stage actor and the first well-known actor in China to go out of Asia because of stage plays."
"As soon as Xiao Zuo entered the Asuka grass, he was attracted by a smell, the smell of burning plastic, very pungent, but very light, except for Xiao Zuo, we didn't smell it. At that time, I was talking to Moji, and there was not much to say about the conversation between us, mainly Xiao Zuo's actions, he carefully observed the inside and outside of Asuka Grass, and confirmed that the actor was not lying. In other words, regardless of whether the events that happened are true or not, the actors of the drama have indeed entered the Asuka Grass Hotel. ”
The clues that Xiao Zuo investigated at that time can also be divided into several points: first, the smell of burnt plastic. Second, the landing is sloping. Thirdly, the room facing the stairs leads to a secret passage that connects all the rooms on the second floor. ”
"There are a total of six rooms on the second floor, three of which have access to the secret passage, and the other three cannot. The entrance to the secret passage is an iron window, and you can enter it by removing the window frame. The above three points are the facts that Xiao Zuo discovered as soon as he arrived at Asuka Grass. ”
"I'm going to analyze it little by little, first of all, the smell of burnt plastic, Xiao Zuo has been looking for the source of the smell, and finally, he found the top of the caretaker's mother-in-law's room, that is, the ceiling near the top of the stairs."
"I think you are much more familiar with the structure of the first floor of Asuka grass than I am with Xiao Zuo, the roof is mainly divided into two parts, and the staircase from the upper to the second floor is the dividing line. Facing the door, on the left hand side is the entrance living room and kitchen, the kitchen has a roof on top, but only a third of the entrance living room is covered, and the rest of the room can be seen on the second floor. ”
"And the whole large area on the right hand side is the roof of the administrator's room, and it is obviously much thicker than the left side, and Xiao Zuo smells a strong smell near the roof on the right hand side. So, can it be said that the smell comes from the gap between the top plates? ”
"I don't think so, for one reason, the roof is made of cement and brick, not wood, and even if there is something hidden in the middle, it is difficult to get the smell out. Therefore, I think that the smell comes from the surface of the walls, including all the walls of the administrator's room, and there must be something hidden in the administrator's room for a long time, so the smell will penetrate through the gap between the wall and the door, but there is another question here, why is it not the main entrance of the administrator's room or the place on the first floor that smells the strongest, but the roof part? ”
"It's not difficult to explain here, it means that there must be someone on the front of the administrator's room who is often eliminating the smell, it's easy to do, use a cleaner with a strong smell, and spray it every day, after all, the administrator's room is hiding something that has been treated, and the smell itself will not be very strong."
"What the hell is hidden in the administrator's room until now? You can make it clear! Once again, the shadow spoke, as if it had grasped something.
"Please don't interrupt Xiao Yao!" Xie Yunmeng also issued a warning again, but this time the black shadow didn't seem to intend to give up.
Yun Yeyao maintained his usual gentlemanly posture and said: "Mr. Cheng Ji, please don't be impatient, I said that everything will be explained clearly, now, I want to continue, I hope you don't interrupt me again, because before the people from the police station arrive, we must deduce the real murderer." ”
"The stuff in the administrator's room is involved in another case. Now we must first concentrate on straightening out the events that took place in Asuka Grass. Regarding the problem of taste, it is very coincidental that Moji was using detergent to clean the house at that time, and it was a detergent with a very strong smell, if it weren't for Xiao Zuo by his side, I would not have been able to find the abnormal smell alone. ”
"The detergent masks the smell that should be in the house, but it can't involve the roof, so Xiao Zuo will find that the smell has become strong in the roof part. The second point is that the stair landing is sloping, and it can also be said that the roof of the first floor is thick on one side and thin on the other. Why is that? ”
"Then it's time to connect to the secret passage, which surrounds the six rooms on the second floor, according to you, a small hidden warehouse, in order to pile up the props of pranks and riddles so that the participants in the game will not find out. It does just that. ”
"But we later found out that the most important function of this secret passage is to connect the two buildings of Asuka, so that some people can move freely, and it is not only connected to the underground of Asukasha here, but also to the roof compartment of Asuka grass on that side. The features are really useful. ”
"Please note that according to Xiao Meng's on-site investigation, the secret passage enters the underground pipeline through the periphery of the administrator's room, which means that the administrator's room must be built very thick in order to cater to the direction of the secret passage and not be discovered by outsiders."
"Part of this, I think you can use your imagination to keep up with me, after all, you have walked through that secret passage. In this Bird Grass building, the secret passage does not wrap around the entire upstairs and downstairs of the house, it starts behind the first room on the second floor, and then ends in the basement of the administrator's room. ”
"The starting point of the other Flying Bird Grass is under the administrator's room, and there are two ending points, the first one is the passage to the roof compartment, and the second is the place where Xiao Meng and Granny Yan left the secret passage after they came over, they discovered it by accident, and this end point can lead directly to the periphery of the administrator's room."
"Everyone knows the first end, and the second end will be explained by Xiao Meng later, so I won't repeat it here."
Speaking of which, the third suspicion discovered by Xiao Zuo doesn't have to bother anymore. Let's explain the time of our arrival, we arrived at Asuka Grass yesterday, that is, on Sunday afternoon, and the time of Xiaomeng's arrival is staggered by more than ten hours, I have to say that the murderer's time arrangement can be described as full of brains. ”
