The two of them walked a little further, and the forest in front of them became less dense, and even occasionally encountered some clearings that had been cut down.
"Could we have approached the house, looking at the situation here, someone has only recently come." Yun Ye Yao crouched in front of a tree stump, the cross-section of the stump still looked new, it must have been cut down not long ago.
Xie Yunmeng couldn't be sure where they were now, so he just stood in the middle of the clearing and looked around. Not far from within his line of sight, he could see another slightly larger clearing, Xie Yunmeng said, "Why don't I go to the clearing over there and take a look!" β
"I'll go too." Yun Yeyao immediately stood up and followed Mr. Detective. He didn't want to be eaten by some monster in the forest, Yun Yeyao was afraid of this kind of thing, especially the man-eating monsters like werewolves that would transform into on the night of the full moon. Legend has it that they are not often found in the forest?
"Little Meng, have you heard the story of Laikaon?" Thinking of the man-eating monster, Yun Yeyao asked.
Xie Yunmeng didn't know what Laikaon was at all, he shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?" β
"Lecaon is a werewolf!"
"Is it the kind that transforms from a human into a wolf on a full moon night?"
"No, no, ordinary werewolves are transformed from humans into wolves on full moon nights, but Lekaon is different from wolves to humans."
"How can you study this kind of thing, are you going to make a werewolf movie recently?"
"Why! I'm just thinking about it and I'm going to talk to you. Let's go, I think we might be able to find some clues in this forest. β
"I'm still thinking about how to find the villa first! What else can you find here besides trees and dirt? Xie Yunmeng responded.
Yun Yeyao didn't think so, he continued: "Xiao Meng, the clue may be between the trees and the dirt. is still the topic we just argued, whether Ning Key and Su Bu are murderers or not! Now neither of us will say anything willful, let's analyze it properly, okay? β
"Okay, you say." Xie Yunmeng stopped, leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked at Yun Yeyao.
"When Ning Jian left the apartment, he once told the witnesses that he let her in to accompany his wife, which showed that he was not afraid of the witnesses seeing the scene in the room at that time, why is this? I think a murderer, whether he is about to escape or not, will try his best to prevent others from entering the scene of the murder! So Ning Key's reaction is definitely not a normal reaction, and you should agree with this first, right? β
"Yes." Xie Yunmeng replied simply.
And the eyewitness could still hear Ning Key's fierce quarrel with his wife before he came out of his house, and she also said last night that Ning Key's wife's voice was very sharp, so she came out to take a look. So let's assume that before the eyewitness came out, Ning Key's wife was still alive, and then, when she went out, she happened to see Ning Key come out. Among them, Xiaomeng, how much time do you think the killing time is? It's been less than five minutes. β
"Indeed, after hearing the testimony of witnesses, this question bothered me."
"If Ning Key is a voice actor, I believe he has no problem imitating his wife's voice, but Ning Key is obviously not such a person, so the fact that he imitates his wife to speak can be ruled out." Yun Yeyao said.
"Then, extrapolating further, if Ning Jian can kill his wife in such a short time, my speculation that a stranger can kill the woman in the room within five minutes can also be established. Ning Key's wife was frantically slashed and stabbed so many times on the forehead and eyes, for what purpose did the murderer want to destroy the victim so much? I don't think there's any purpose, it's just that he doesn't have much time to identify the fatal part. The head is generally the easiest to lock on to the fatal part, and as long as you cut it down hard in front of the brain, you will be crippled if you don't die. β
"The murderer's purpose is obviously to kill people, Xiao Zuo's analysis is that from the depth of the knife, the murderer is a person with great strength; Judging from the area where the knife marks are concentrated, the murderer's height must be much taller than Ning Key's wife, and it is more likely that a man will commit the murder; There is also a messy distribution of knife edges, many of which are intertwined, indicating that the murderer was very quick when he slashed and killed. Based on the above points, I think that strangers are more likely to commit murder than Ning Key. β
"You think that after a person frantically slashes and kills the victims, he will be covered in blood and panting! Even if Ning Key was wearing his wife's clothes at the time, and there were no blood stains on his body, but, first, except for the clothes her wife was wearing on her body in the apartment, no other clothes and pants were stained with blood, including Ning Key's own clothes, so where did the bloody clothes he murdered go? The testimony of eyewitnesses is very clear, Ning Jian only brought a small leather bag when he went out, which was not much bigger than a wallet, and it was impossible to hold clothes in it. β
"But how can he avoid everyone if he is a stranger?" Xie Yunmeng said.
"What if a stranger is disguised as some delivery person? For example, takeaways, couriers, and so on. β
"Impossible, we have all investigated this aspect, first of all, Ning Key's wife never eats takeout when she is alone at home, even if she does beauty, she goes out to do it, and it is because her neighbor Mrs. Pang can't go out that day, so she found a beautician for the first time to provide door-to-door service. Secondly, the courier is generally delivered in the morning or noon, and we have also asked other people in the corridor that there was no courier arrived between seven and nine o'clock last night. Thirdly, it is even more impossible to go out of the window, which is facing the main road, and if the murderer climbs out, he will be seen immediately. β
"To sum up, I can only think that both Ning Key and Stranger may be murderers, but they are also unreasonable."
Xie Yunmeng's words also make sense, not to mention that Yun Yeyao still has a lot of doubts to solve. He can only come up with hypotheses step by step.
"Xiao Meng, let's talk about the motive for the crime now, regardless of how the murderer escaped! Ning Jian married his wife so that the company would not go bankrupt, there is no doubt about it. And the relationship between Su Bu and Ning Key is now clear to us. So judging from the thinking of normal people, Ning Jian will definitely find a way to get rid of his current wife after all the debts are paid off and the company is on the right track. So there is no need for him and Xiaobu to rush to kill, just wait. β
"But what can't wait is Ning Key's wife, she already knows about Xiaobu's existence, and she complains about it with the neighbor's wife, why? It's obvious that she is destroying Ning Key's reputation, the neighbor's wife has an active personality and likes to make friends, she can't hide this kind of news, and soon not only in her own community, but also among Ning Key's friends and even in the company. β
"At this point, I don't deny that Ning Jian is suspected of murder, but there is one thing that Xiao Meng has noticed? The neighbor's wife knew about the existence of Su Bu a few months ago, why did none of the neighbors around him know why Ning Jian went out to play chess when the crime happened yesterday? Isn't that counterintuitive? β
"Could it be that the neighbor's wife thinks it's not good to spread this kind of thing, so she didn't say it? Or...... Ning key bought off the neighbor's wife? Xie Yunmeng guessed.
"Yes, that's it, Ning Key must have found out that his wife was chewing the root of his tongue behind his back, but he couldn't stop his wife, so he could only start from the neighbor's wife, as long as he gave some money to keep his mouth shut, why did Ning Key have to kill someone? That's part of the reason why I've always thought Ning Key wasn't the murderer. β
