Chapter Seventy-Eight: The True Murderer
While waiting for them to bring me, my heart was still very heavy, and I kept walking around, trying to calm myself down, I looked at the photos hanging on the wall, and I happened to see a graduation photo of the class of 01, there was a child in the lower right corner of the photo, it didn't look very clear, but it was very similar to the one I met in the bathroom the night before, and asked me if I needed help, I was a little strange
"Does it just look alike? This is the graduation photo of the 01 class, which was taken 6 years ago, why does this child not seem to have grown up? ”
This is when everyone comes in one after another, I didn't think about this problem, and slowly, Wang Jing, Bai Zhi, Jiang Junqian, Wang Yuesha, Qu Lian, Director Zeng, Officer Hu and his subordinates all arrived.
I looked at Bai Zhi, she still didn't have a ring on her hand, I sighed again, and Officer Hu stepped forward and asked
"You already know who the killer is?"
I nodded with my eyes closed, and said straightforwardly with my left hand in the crowd
"The murderer who committed four murders in a row on this campus is you, Jiang Junqian!"
Everyone's eyes brushed to Jiang Junqian, their eyes were full of disbelief, and Wang Jing took the initiative to say
"Brother Yang, is there something wrong, Brother Jiang has no reason to kill Roy at all, and he has no time to kill Xin Yi, let alone kill Ke Hezi in the women's bath."
It seems that explaining to Wang Jing about the girl's getting off the car and Ping'an Guo before made her very convinced of me, otherwise she would have already scolded her.
I said with a sigh
"I'll explain them one by one, first of all, Jiang Junqian has enough reasons to kill Roy, because Roy knows his most unspeakable secret."
"I don't know what the secret is, but how did he get out of the chamber?" Officer Hu asked.
I explained slowly
"It's easy for us to fall into a misunderstanding, that is, when a secret room is placed in front of us, we all take it for granted that it was created by the murderer for some purpose, that's because we have watched too many works such as Conan and Sherlock Holmes, and in fact, when a person kills someone, his emotions will become very excited, especially this kind of temporary intention to kill, driven by the devil, he committed a crime that cannot be escaped in his life, plus Jiang Junqian was originally a doctor, and he knew the preciousness of life, so, He was very nervous, scared... So something inconsistent was done. ”
"What's that going on?" Wang Jing asked
"What if you kill someone on the spur of the moment and you don't want to turn yourself in?"
Wang Jing thought for a moment
"If you don't want to turn yourself in, you must be trying to find a way to escape."
"Then after you escape, will you lock the door of your room to prevent the body from being discovered?"
Wang Jing nodded and said
"I guess so, if I had the key..."
After saying this, Wang Jing raised his head suddenly, and asked with wide eyes
"Difficult, isn't it?"
"Not bad!" I said for Wang Jing
"When Jiang Junqian finished killing people, the extreme panic made him lose his ability to think, worried that others would find the body, so he locked the door in a panic, and then calmed down a little, he realized that the scene of the crime was an apartment, how could he not be discovered, and going back now would undoubtedly increase the chance of being found, so the next day, he asked all of us to go up to Roy and find the body, and then broke down the door despite my advice, because he must put the key back in the room before the police arrived, To create the illusion of a secret room and increase the possibility of exoneration, he secretly put the key on the ground the moment he entered the house and fell to the ground. ”
Su Yong said with some incomprehension
"But wouldn't there be his fingerprints on the key? At that time, I was the first to find the key, and if I hadn't accidentally thrown it to his side, he wouldn't have had a chance to touch the key, and if he hadn't touched the key, but there were his fingerprints on it, then he would still have been suspicious. ”
It seems that Su Yong's observation skills have also improved a lot, and I nodded in agreement with his statement
"That's right, Brother Yong, but he's always been looking for an opportunity to touch the key, think about it, I told you not to touch it at the time, but he still picked up the key seemingly inadvertently, isn't this a very strange thing for Jiang Junqian, who has always been cautious?"
Bai Zhi, who had been biting her lip, finally couldn't help it and said
"What proof do you have for that?"
I glanced at Bai Zhi apologetically, I am indeed sorry for her, I suspected that she was a murderer before, and now I want to expose her lover's crime, I dare not look Bai Zhi in the eyes and say
"I have proof, K, the death message that Roy left behind."
"Ridiculous!" Bai Zhi said emotionally
"Roy is a left-hander, and that K is on his right, obviously left by the murderer, how can it be a death message? Moreover, even if that K is a death message, then what does it have to do with Jun Qian? ”
I spread my hands out
"If we can take him as Roy's death message, then we're going to have to look at this K from a different angle, because don't forget, Roy is left-handed!"
Officer Hu asked
"What do you think?"
I said with a little excitement
"At that time, Roy fell to the ground, and tried to write the murderer's name with his left hand with his last strength, but he choked, and then Jiang Junqian realized that he was writing his own name, so he quickly moved Roy's body to make the death message look like a K-word."
Officer Hu nodded and said
"No wonder, the corpse has obvious signs of movement, but how did he move? What was the original message of death? ”
I said with a smile
"Actually, it's easy to think of, didn't you say it, Jiang Junqian was already extremely panicked at that time, but in that case, he could still figure out a way to move the body, because from his direction, it was a K, he was standing in the direction of Roy's head that fell to the ground, so we took Roy's head as a point and rotated him 180 degrees, so that the death message would also go to his left hand, and the real content of what he wrote would be obvious."
After hearing what I said, Su Yong, Wang Jing, and Officer Hu all clicked their chins with their hands to think, and their mouths kept muttering
"What is it? What could it be? ”
Wang Jing's reaction was relatively quick and said
"It's next to the word!"
"Next to the word? What is that? Officer Hu asked.
Wang Jing said a little helplessly
"It's the left half of the general's general."
Officer Hu said
"Oh oh, oh, it turns out that it's called next to the word 爿, and it's a long knowledge."
Wang Jing glanced at Officer Hu, then looked at me again and asked
"But, even if that's the case, what does it have to do with Brother Jiang?"
I put my hand on Wang Jing's shoulder to help her recall
"Think about it, what did Roy call Jiang Junqian before his death?"
"Jiang Jun." After speaking, Wang Jing looked at Jiang Junqian in horror and said, "No, it's a general?" ”
I nodded
"That's right, Roy's Chinese is very poor, he mistakenly thought that Jiang Junqian's name was General Qian, which is why he always called him General, when a foreigner has a character similar to "K" written next to him, no matter who will think that it is K, no one would think that a foreigner would use Chinese characters to make a death message before he died. ”
Bai Zhi still said unwillingly
That's unbelievable! Then tell me, how did Jun Qian kill Xin Yi? ”
I knew she would ask, but we had already analyzed this case thoroughly, and I said it succinctly
"Because at that time, Xin Yi was not in the West District at all, but in the East District, no, it may even be not far from us."
"What proof do you have for that?"
I told Su Yong about listening to the heavy metal concert at the Dinosaur Museum and our previous inferences, and then said
"I guess Jiang Junqian had already killed Xia Nanxing at that time, hiding his body in the activity center of the roller skating club, he pretended to go out to make a call, it should be to transfer the body or something, but he met Xin Yi unexpectedly, he had no choice but to kill Xin Yi, the process of killing Xin Yi took him a lot of time, he had to take a few packs of tissues from the activity center and said that he bought it at the convenience store just now, which is also what makes me suspicious, because Bai Zhi said that she also went to the convenience store, but the two didn't meet, isn't it too strange?"
At this time, Bai Zhi and Jiang Junqian's faces were very pale, and they didn't say a word, so I continued
"Maybe Bai Zhi also found Jiang Junqian's suspicious thing at that time, she lived with Jiang Junqian outside the school that night, she noticed that Jiang Junqian's ring was missing, so Bai Zhi guessed that Jiang Junqian accidentally lost it when he killed someone, so she was very sure that Jiang Junqian was the murderer, so she adjusted the size of her ring and put it next to Jiang Junqian, the next day Jiang Junqian didn't pay attention to the change of the ring after getting up, and brought it to his hand, and then Bai Zhi, who didn't have a ring, did all kinds of unnatural things, wants to make me doubt her in order to exonerate Jiang Junqian. ”
After Jiang Junqian listened, he peeked at his ring and moved his finger inadvertently.
I said to Bai Zhi very apologetically
"I'm sorry, Bai Zhi, I did doubt you, but you are so kind, through the time you let Xia Nanxing go, I am sure that you can't be the murderer."
I looked at Jiang Junqian again and said
"Jiang Junqian, be free and easy, confess your guilt, it is only a matter of time before the police find that ring, if you still don't admit that you are the murderer, it really disappoints me."
Jiang Junqian smiled relievedly and asked
"Song Yang, then can you tell me how I killed Ke Hezi?"
I looked at Jiang Junqian's eyes, his eyes were full of expectation, and his tone was not provocative, he was not making a final struggle, but wanted to test me, so I asked a little unbearably
"Do you really want me to say it?"
Jiang Junqian nodded lightly, but I still couldn't bear it, bowed my head and said nothing, Su Yong asked impatiently
"Say, how the hell does a man enter the women's bathroom and kill people?"
Somehow, I was obviously revealing the criminal's crime as a detective, but at this moment, my heart was full of guilt, and I said with self-reproach
"What do you think I said about Jiang Junqian's secret... In fact, she is a woman at all, so she has not lived in school for so many years. ”
After hearing me say this, everyone's reaction was even greater than when I said that she was the murderer just now, and they all stared at Jiang Junqian like a monster.
Bai Zhi looked at me directly, although there was no resentment, but her constant tears, like countless devil's claws, were about to tear me apart, I obviously said that I would tear the murderer apart, but how could it be me who was torn apart?
"How did you know I was a girl?" Jiang Junqian's voice has changed, it turns out that for so long, she has been talking to us in a false voice, I was moved by her beautiful voice, and I was in a trance for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he said to her
"No matter how well you hide it, boys and girls have many habits that are still different, when we boys urinate, they will definitely lift the toilet mat, but after you were in the hotel that night, I found that the toilet mat was not lifted, recalling this, I am sure you are a girl."
"I know." Jiang Junqian said with a smile, but her smile was extremely incongruous with those tearful eyes.
I asked, wistfully
"What?"
Jiang Junqian wiped away a few tears that dripped out and continued
"I know you boys will lift the toilet mat, but you were outside at the time, and you were already in so much pain, I just want to come out early to make you less uncomfortable."
"You're so kind, if Roy just knew your secret, I don't think you'd actually kill him, I think he must have made some excessive demands, right?" I said sadly
At the mention of Roy, Jiang Junqian's eyes still flashed with a hint of murderous intent, which showed that even if she had killed that man, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in her heart.
Jiang Junqian cherished Bai Zhi very cherished, as if she was holding a treasure, she knew that this was basically the last time she hugged her beloved.
Jiang Junqian said
"When I caught Xia Nanxing, I accidentally fell, when Roy came to help me, he accidentally touched my chest, although I have been wearing a corset, but he can still feel it, when I left your hotel, Roy found me and asked me to talk to him in the room, he directly said that he knew my secret, and he also said that if I don't want him to tell the secret, let Xiao Zhi be his lover! What else to say, I don't like men in the first place, even if I am touched by a man, it doesn't matter! How could I possibly tolerate that kind of scum saying that, Xiao Zhi! Directly picked up the fruit knife and killed him! ”
Jiang Junqian became more and more excited, eager to eat Roy's flesh and gnaw Roy's bones, and after listening to it, we all fell into silence, Guo Hongyi said
"Roy, damn it..."
"What about Kohazi! Xinyi! And why do you have to kill them? Is it just to get King together and disturb the judgment of the police? Zhang Kexin roared angrily.
Although I didn't think too much about the reasons why Jiang Jun moved to kill those people, I didn't think she was the kind of person who was extremely vicious.
Jiang Junqian said to Zhang Kexin apologetically
"I'm sorry, Ke Xin, I'm a selfish person, after killing Roy, I originally wanted to turn myself in, but I overheard the conversation between Ke Hezi and Xia Nanxing, I don't know why they also knew my secret, I can only make mistakes again and again, and after killing Xia Nanxing and Xin Yi, I realized that I would kill a total of four people, so I thought..."
Without waiting for Jiang Junqian to finish speaking, Zhang Kexin rushed up and knocked Jiang Junqian away with a punch, dragging her neck and shouting
"You are clearly a thief, they don't know your secrets, what they know is..."
"Hey, Ke Xin, don't say it!" I hurriedly stopped it, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.
"Qu Lian and Director Zeng have a personal relationship!"
After Zhang Kexin finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Qu Lian and Director Zeng again, and Jiang Junqian's pupils dilated slightly after listening, his eyes instantly lost their brilliance, and the whole person was like his soul was taken away, his whole body was powerless, and he sat on the ground, like a malfunctioning puppet, with a dull expression, and kept talking
"I killed the wrong person... I killed the wrong person..."
Officer Hu took out the handcuffs, walked to Jiang Junqian's side, patted her on the shoulder and said
"Jiang Junqian, now arrest you for murder."
As he spoke, he grabbed Jiang Junqian's wrist, and just when I thought it was over, Jiang Junqian pushed Officer Hu away and ran out of the teaching building like crazy.
