Chapter 448 Reasoning in the Leaning House Act IV: Xie Yunmeng's Narration and Reasoning
Mo Haiyou left his position and squatted in front of the corpse for a few minutes to observe, and then said to Xie Yunmeng: "I agree with you, the preliminary judgment is that the death time of Yong Poppy is at least more than thirty hours, first of all, the remaining corpse spots have entered the infiltration period, the so-called infiltration period is due to the action of bacteria, the corpse begins to decay and deteriorate, and the pressure on the corpse spots cannot make it transfer or disappear, the skin tissue inside the corpse spots is purple, and blood will no longer flow out of the blood vessels. ”
"These are clearly shown on the corpses of the poppies, who are so badly decomposed and kept in the flower fields for a long time, because the temperature and humidity in the fields are relatively high, which is easy to breed bacteria and be eaten by small insects."
"The second is the degree of rigor mortis, which begins to relieve 24 to 48 hours after death, depending on the surrounding environment, the manner of death, the age of the victim, and other factors. Environmental factors are very important. If Yong Poppy had indeed been placed in the flower field all along, then it would not be surprising that the stiffening of the corpse on his body would be, and the higher the ambient temperature, the earlier the zombie and the time to relieve the stiffness. ”
"Also, although it is not completely conclusive, I think there is no trace of artificial destruction of the corpse mortis on Yong Poppy's body, and the joints in his jaw, arms and other places tend to be soft," Mo Hai said right, while putting on disposable gloves in his pocket, he raised Yong Poppy's jaw in front of everyone, flexed and stretched his arms, and showed it to everyone, and then he continued: "Poisoning, illness, mechanical injury and death will have an impact on the stiffness time of the corpse, and I will not repeat this." ”
After speaking, Mo Haiyou stood up and added, "Officer Xie, you can go on." He took off his gloves and threw them in the trash, sat back in his original position, and continued to be a listener.
Xie Yunmeng said: "I thought that the black shadow went upstairs to find an opportunity to kill, so I followed him closely, but after I went upstairs, I only saw an empty corridor, and all the rooms were very quiet, and I couldn't hear any abnormal sounds at all." ”
"At this time, if I go and knock on the door of the sleeping person, if I find the person who sneaks into the room, it is okay to say, if not, it will be difficult to explain, and there are two ladies in the room, so I don't choose to knock, but I carefully examine every door in the hallway, not looking at the footprints in front of the door."
"I don't think the footprints here mean anything, first of all, my own feet are covered with dirt and blades of grass, and after hurrying upstairs, the footprints left by the black shadows in the hallway and on the corridor platform have been trampled by me. In front of the door, if it were a shrewd suspect, he could have walked into one of the rooms with footprints in the hallway, so that I couldn't tell which room he was in. ”
"So I looked to see if the handle on the door had lavender petals attached to it, or white tidbits. This small flaw is more likely to be overlooked by a dark shadow than a footprint. I was sure that the shadow couldn't have come from the direction of the East Wing, as I had been listening carefully to the sound coming from the East Wing's door. ”
"He's either been hiding in the Westinghouse living room or he's coming into the house through a lavender field. If he had been hiding in the living room of the Westinghouse, the black shadow would definitely be a certain occupant of this house, or even the male owner of the East Room, Fu Zhi, who had never returned to the East Room, so he would not have left footprints in the hallway, nor would he have left any evidence of lavender on the doorknob. ”
"If you hide in the lavender field beforehand and sneak into the house in the middle of the night, the dark shadow may not be the original person in the house. He would leave mud footprints in the hallways and stairs, as well as evidence of his contact with lavender on the doorknobs he entered. ”
"But it turned out to be half of the two guesses, how to say, the floor of the corridor was clean and spotless, and there was not even half a footprint on the floor mat. On the doorknob, however, I found lavender tidbits on the doorknob, not all of them, but two of them, the door of the man's room and the warehouse. ”
"After discovering this, I went back to the downstairs living room, and the clue now pointed to the owner of the house, Fu Zhi, who had good reason to stay in his room, or go to the warehouse to get something, even if I knocked on the door, I could not get any useful clues, so I decided to go from another place to find out what was going on in the room."
"That's why you see me in the kitchen in the middle of the night to drink water." Xie Yunmeng lowered his upper body and said to a certain person in the room.
"I went back to the living room on the first floor and went straight into the kitchen, and then it was much easier, I don't know if you noticed anything more outside the West House than the East House when you came in?" Xie Yunmeng asked.
Yun Yeyao immediately replied, "I see, it's the chimney, the skylight under the roof, and the plastic pipe that connects to the chimney." Xiao Meng, do you want to enter the mezzanine between the house and the roof and peek into the suspect room from above? ”
"That's right, so I don't get seen by the suspects, and I can learn more. The plastic pipe that connected to the chimney, the pipe that the kitchen hood used to exhaust the smoke outward, I pulled it out inside, revealing a round gap just enough to get out, and the gap was facing the front of the house. Diagonally above the kitchen window, and at the same time close to the skylight above. ”
"After I got out of the gap, I went straight into the skylight, and it was really the roof mezzanine, although the space was very narrow, but I could barely move under the beams and keels, I first climbed to the top of the warehouse, I wanted to hear if there was anyone in the warehouse."
"During the day, Fu Zhi himself told me that no one had entered this warehouse upstairs in the Westinghouse for many years. In other words, no one in the villa will enter the warehouse unless there are special circumstances, even if it is the owner. ”
"I noticed that there were insects in many places on the ceiling, as well as chips from decay, and some of the wooden bolts and nails had come loose. This is a convenient thing for me, because I can use these places to easily open the gap and see what is going on in the room below. But I didn't do it right away, because the roof of the room here is not high, and the sound can be easily heard by the people below, so I want to make sure if there is anyone down there before deciding what to do next. ”
"I lay on the roof of the warehouse and waited for a few minutes, but there was no sound in the room, so I wanted to leave to hear if Fu was not in my room. Before I could lift my upper body, there was a sudden yawning sound from inside the warehouse, and the tapping sound of a man's hand touching a plank. ”
"It's all very slight, but it instantly makes me sure that there is indeed a person hiding in the warehouse, and that he has been deliberately keeping himself from making any noise. After making sure of this, I didn't move, but stayed where I was until 12 midnight, when the people in the room below finally moved again. ”
I listened to his footsteps as I walked out of the room, and then, hearing the door locking, the footsteps went downstairs, and they grew louder and louder. I want to see who this person is. So I had to get downstairs before he did, so I quickly climbed out of the skylight, went through the gap in the range hood and back into the kitchen, and then re-plugged the gap with a pulled plastic pipe. ”
"At this time, the upstairs person had just walked into the living room, and I deliberately hid myself in the dark corner of the kitchen, waiting without the light. When I heard someone approaching the kitchen, I casually poured myself a glass of water and placed my own keychain and small flashlight on the edge of the glass. ”
The man who showed up in the kitchen was Fu Zhi, who was still holding a large bunch of lavender in his arms, and after we exchanged a few words, I asked him why he didn't go back to sleep in the East House. Fu Zhi's answer was that he needed to make the lavender bouquet that would be sent tomorrow morning, and because he was not skilled, he was a little late. ”
"I asked him where he stayed to make lavender bouquets? He told me to stay in the warehouse where there was no one, and I immediately found out that he was lying, because I had been on top of the warehouse all the time, and if he was making a lavender bouquet in the warehouse, he would make all sorts of noises. But I didn't hear anything but yawns and footsteps walking out of the room. ”
This means that Fu Zhi didn't make lavender bouquets in the warehouse at all, and I was trying to figure out what the hell he was up to. So I told Fu Zhitui that I couldn't sleep, and I could go to the warehouse to help him, I thought he would refuse or shirk, but I didn't expect him to agree, which made my doubts deeper, so I could only follow him to the warehouse to have a look. ”
"When I got to the warehouse, I didn't find anything suspicious? There were a lot of lavender branches, and I was helping him the way Fu Zhi had taught me, and I was talking to Fu Shi while knocking on the side, but soon after, I fell asleep in a daze, and later Fu Shu said that he was also asleep, so the rest of the lavender bouquet was not bandaged. But I have no way to confirm Fu Zhi's words. ”
"Now that I think about it, how could I not have survived all night under that situation? Fu Zhi must have done something on the lavender branches. So far, all my investigations have been centered around Fu Zhi, and I also think that the others are sleeping quietly in their rooms, and I can slowly investigate and question them during the daytime the next day. ”
"But the development of the incident did not allow me to take my time, because the next day, that is, in the early hours of yesterday morning, the situation in the villa suddenly took a sharp turn, and An Lingxiang and Bai Yun, who got up in the morning, were attacked and fell at the gate, and there was the body of Yong Poppy beside them. After Fu Zhi was stunned, he wrapped himself in a sheet and hung it outside the warehouse window. ”
"And I found traces left by a mysterious person in his room, bloody footprints everywhere in the bathroom, bloody finger prints under the window, the faucet on, the bed and the furniture with the handprints of strangers. There are also two relatively intact footprints on the window, with their toes pointing towards the interior of the room, indicating that a person had climbed into Fu Zhi's room from the outside on the first night. ”
"Everything caught me off guard, obviously one night, I was on guard, I couldn't figure out how the murderer did it?" Speaking of this, Xie Yunmeng took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger and unwillingness in his heart.
