Case 16: Spark 3

Yexuan Bar is one of the largest bars in H City and is very famous.

Jiang Tian looked at this palatial bar, shook his head and said: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, tsk, Zhou Hao, you kid is blessed, I advise you to take Li Jinxuan away quickly, so that I may be able to enjoy free drinks here in the future." ”

"Don't be kidding, Jiang Tian." Zhou Hao said with tears and laughter.

Jiang Tian saw a little expectation in Zhou Hao's eyes, smiled imperceptibly, and walked into the Yexuan bar.

"How did you come? It's so slow! Li Jinxuan and a few girls of about the same age walked over here.

"This, it's a bit congested on the road, don't mind." Zhou Hao smiled embarrassedly.

"Jiang Tian! Are you Jiang Tian? At this time, one of the girls pointed at Jiang Tian and asked in surprise.

"Well, yes, my name is Jiang Tian, may I ask who you are?"

"Oops! It's you! The girl said excitedly, "My name is Feng Zi, I admire you very much, I have solved so many cases, Detective Jiang Tian!" ”

"What? What detective Jiang Tian? Isn't it just a little white face and a lewd man? Li Jinxuan looked at Jiang Tian, a little confused.

"You, you said that about him! Xiao Xuanxuan, you don't never watch the news, come, I'll tell you. ”

So, Feng Zi told Li Jinxuan about some things about Jiang Tian.

Li Jinxuan's mouth was open, and he pointed at Jiang Tian in disbelief and said, "You said this goods...... He...... I ......" Li Jinxuan covered his face, "Okay, I'm still hard to accept." ”

"Believe it or not, but I'll have to get things out first." Jiang Tian pulled Zhou Hao over, pulled Zhou Hao's clothes and said hatefully, "It's not that I have to come, it's this kid who wants to pull me over with a dead face to come up with such a despicable and shameless idea to pull me into the water, and it makes me become a lewd man in your eyes, quick!" The surname is Zhou, return my innocence! ”

An hour later, the party began, and Li Jinxuan came out of the back room with her nanny. The nanny's name is Zhang Jianjiao, and everyone calls her Zhang's mother. After Li Jinxuan's parents passed away, Zhang's mother did not leave the Li family, but stayed to take care of Li Jinxuan, who was alone. I heard that Zhang's mother is only 45 years old, but after working hard for half a life, she looks very vicissitudes, full of white hair, wrinkled face, like an old lady who is over the age of six. People who know the Li family admire Zhang's mother very much, and Li Jinxuan also regards her as his own relatives.

Li Jinxuan picked up the microphone, "Everyone, today is the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Yexuan Bar, thank you for your support for so many years, then the party will begin, I hope everyone has fun!" ”

Music plays, lights flicker, delicacies are put on the table, and there is a lively scene.

"Why didn't Li Jinxuan's uncle's family come over, didn't you say that he also has forty percent of the shares?" Jiang Tian took a glass of orange juice and approached Zhou Hao's side and asked.

"I heard Xiao Xuanxuan say that he didn't come if he didn't come, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, the relationship is very stiff, Xiao Xuanxuan sees their family as if he sees an enemy, and he is embarrassed if he doesn't meet." Zhou Hao gulped down the cake and said vaguely.

At this time, Jiang Tian and Li Jinxuan's mobile phones rang almost at the same time.

"Hey, Brother Shen, have you found it?"

"I'll talk about that later, but now I'm going to tell you another thing, which has something to do with what you asked me to investigate."

"What's the matter?"

After Li Jinxuan over there answered the phone, he ran to Zhang's mother in a panic and said anxiously: "Zhang's mother, something happened!" Uncle, something happened to them! ”

Thirty minutes ago, a fire broke out in Li Defu's villa, and the surrounding neighbors hurriedly called the police, and the firefighters rushed to the rescue, and the fire was extinguished ten minutes later. When the firefighters entered the villa, they found two charred bodies nailed to the bedroom wall, and the words "deserved" could be faintly seen on the smoke-blackened wall.

After examination, the words were written in blood, which should be the blood of the victim.

After Shen Sen arrived at the scene, he thought that Jiang Tian had asked for his own affairs before, so he notified Jiang Tian as soon as possible, and asked his colleagues to contact the family of the deceased in a hurry.

The deceased Li Defu and his wife had no children, and their only relative was the daughter of the deceased eldest brother.

"You deserve it?" Jiang Tian looked at the four words on the wall, "Brother Shen, what is the cause of the fire?" ”

"It was initially assumed that the cause of the fire was an explosion caused by an open flame after a gas leak. We found that the gas valve in the kitchen was opened to the maximum and the pipes were cut. This bedroom was the most burned and should have been the location of the original fire, and we also found a small amount of residual gasoline on the victim's body. Combined with the above, my hypothesis is that the petrol on the victim's body was ignited and the open flame detonated the gas in this villa. After a pause, Shen Sen looked at Jiang Tian meaningfully, "What you asked me to investigate, it seems to be similar to that case, the difference is nothing more than that the fire was an accident, and this time it was a murder." ”

"I heard that the body was nailed to the wall with a chisel when it was found?" Jiang Tian asked, pointing to the chisel on the chest of the two charred corpses.

Shen Sen nodded and said, "The body was nailed to the wall with a chisel, so I suspect that the murderer is most likely a physically strong male." ”

"How so?"

"Look." Shen Sen pointed to the two coin-sized holes in the wall, "It's obvious that this is where the chisel was driven in, about two meters above the ground, so how did the murderer transport the deceased to such a height?" If you look around, the most you can do is the leftover chair. The killer either held the deceased directly and nailed them to the wall, or stood on a chair. But either way, it takes a lot of strength to nail two people to the wall, so I guess the murderer must be a man with a lot of strength. ”

Jiang Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling that it made sense.

Inadvertently, Jiang Tian's gaze swept to a place, and since then he has been firmly focused on this place. There seemed to be something above each of the two holes. Jiang Tian walked in and saw that it was two nails, and the exposed part was bent into a ring, which was nailed about ten centimeters above the two holes.

Jiang Tian looked at the two rings, as if he had thought of something, he glanced at the bedroom that had been badly destroyed by the fire, and finally his eyes fell on the chandelier on his head.

Jiang Tian asked a police officer to borrow a ladder and climb up. After a while, Jiang Xia came down with a clear smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong? Did you find something? Shensen walked over and asked.

"I don't know if the killer was a strong man, but I do know how the killer carried the deceased up this wall."

"What is it?"

"Rope." Jiang Tian looked at Shen Sen, who was dazed, and said, "I took a look just now, and there are traces of things rubbing on the lampstand of that chandelier, which is elongated. Although the fire destroyed a lot of things, there was a lot of dust accumulated on the chandelier, so even if the soot of the fire was slightly concealed, the traces left by the friction of the rope could still be seen. ”

Shen Sen also climbed the ladder to take a look at the chandelier, and found that there were faint traces left by the friction of the rope.

"The killer did it with the help of a chandelier and that nail." Jiang Tian pointed to the small ring of nails bent above the hole, "I guess the murderer should have done this." He first tied the deceased with a rope, then took one end of the rope, passed through the small ring, and then passed the chandelier, thus using the chandelier as a fulcrum to hang the deceased. Because the small ring is fixed to the wall, the deceased will be hung against the wall, and when the deceased reaches the designated position, the rope will be tied to the doorknob or other place that can be fixed, so that the murderer can nail the deceased with a chisel without much effort. After nailing the deceased, the rope is removed. ”

"So that's the case, then now it's difficult to even determine the gender of the murderer, you can hang the deceased by pulling someone in the way you just said, as long as he can pull a person, this is not a difficult thing for most people." Shen Sen looked depressed.

"Our focus now is not on the modus operandi of killing......"

"It's motivation, isn't it? I know you're going to say this. Shen Sen smiled.

"Hmm." Jiang Tian nodded, "I think this case is related to the death of Li Deqiang and his wife three years ago...... By the way, Brother Shen, how is the investigation of the matter I asked you? ”
