Chapter 18: Two More Persons
The deceased was a man in his twenties, who was hung from a thick peach tree with a rope around his neck, in what looked like he had committed suicide. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Feng was slightly stunned after seeing the deceased's face, and then said to Nie Wanli, who was standing in front of him, "It seems that you can eliminate a suspect from Jingyue's murder. ”
"What do you mean?" Nie Wanli asked puzzled, but his gaze followed Gao Feng to the deceased's face.
"Oh my God, he's Jingyue's ex-boyfriend...... Zhang Yingbin! Xiao Yue exclaimed.
Zhang Yingbin was hung from a tree, his tongue sticking out, and his face was frighteningly white under the illumination of the light.
"This guy hanged himself here?" Zhang Nan said in surprise, and then preached to Nie Wanli, "Head, I think I know why this guy died here?" ”
"Why?" Nie Wanli asked instinctively.
Zhang Nan put on the appearance of a "police detective" and said: "It was he who murdered Jingyue, and after we talked to him, he knew that we would find evidence that he killed the person sooner or later, so he came here to commit suicide in fear of crime!" ”
"You say he committed suicide?" Nie Wanli asked with a frown.
Zhang Nan nodded in response: "Do you still need to ask?" Who will come to such a remote place in the middle of the night? What is it that he is not suicidal? Now it's okay, we have finally solved Jingyue's murder case, and this kid committed suicide again, and solved two murders at once. ”
"No, he didn't commit suicide!" Gao Feng said in a deep voice.
"What?" Zhang Nan's brows furrowed, staring at Gao Feng and preaching, "I have just said that no one will come to such a remote place in the middle of the night. If he was murdered, on what grounds did the murderer deceive him? ”
Gao Feng ignored Zhang Nan, and said while walking towards the corpse: "Generally speaking, to hang yourself, you have to step on some objects, put your head in a rope sleeve, and then kick the objects under your feet to make the body reach a certain distance from the ground before you can be strangled by the rope under the action of the earth's gravity." That's why it's common for people who commit suicide on TV to step on a chair and kick it away. ”
"There is nothing under the feet of the deceased, so it is impossible for him to go up and put his head in the rope out of thin air!" Xiao Yue exclaimed, everyone had ignored such an obvious loophole, and were blinded by the illusion of Zhang Yingbin hanging there, thinking that he had committed suicide.
"Can't he just jump up and put his head in it?" Zhang Nan exclaimed a little unconvinced.
Xiao Yue glanced at her and said, "You can jump on your own." After saying that, he chased to Gao Feng's side.
"I jumped, I jumped, what's the matter?" Zhang Nan jumped twice in a row, and immediately gasped.
Gao Feng walked up to the corpse, looked up at it, and asked, "Can you put the corpse down?" ”
Nie Wanli rushed over and said, "The basic evidence collection at the scene has ended, and the body can be put down." As he spoke, he ordered the personnel to put Zhang Yingbin's body down.
Gao Feng asked for a pair of gloves from Li An, put them on his hands, loosened the rope around the deceased's neck, observed the strength of the deceased's neck, and said: "You see, there are two strangulation marks on his neck, one is backward and the other is upward. If he really hanged himself, there would only be an upward strangulation mark. Now there is an extra strangulation mark backwards, indicating that he was strangled to death before being hung here. ”
Xiao Yue raised a hand and shouted: "I know this, because of the different angles, the strangulation force is also different, so there are two different strangulation marks." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the rope, and he pointed to the position near the middle and said, "You see, there are signs of wear and tear on the rope, and only when it is pulled by gravity, it shows that he was strangled and pulled up." ”
Ang Lee heard it and said, "This inference is correct, I found some worn fibers of the rope on the ground. ”
"Can't those fibers fall from his struggles when he was dying?" Zhang Nan still shouted unconvinced.
Almost everyone gave Zhang Nan a blank look.
At this time, Nie Wanli took out a mobile phone in the evidence bag and said, "I'll listen to something for you." As he spoke, he pressed his phone through the transparent evidence bag, and the beautiful music floated out.
"Star Moon!" Along with the music, Gao Feng and Xiao Yue opened their mouths and shouted almost at the same time.
Zhang Nan clasped his nose and said, "I also heard this song, what's so great." ”
At the end of the music prelude, an ethereal voice sounded, it was Mu Ling's voice.
Nie Wan said with a heavy face: "When we found the body, this song was playing on our mobile phones. ”
"Jingyue also played the same song on her phone when she died, and with this we can be sure that this is a serial murder case, and both murders are related to Mu Ling, who died many years ago." Gao Feng said in a low voice.
"Who is Mu Ling?" Nie Wanli realized that he had missed something important.
Xiao Yue briefly explained the relationship between Mu Ling, Jingyue, and Wen Xing.
"It turns out that she is the original one who sang this song!" Nie Wanli exclaimed in surprise, and then said with a look of pity, "She sings so well, it's a pity to die so young." ”
"What if it's good, her singing voice appeared in both murders, and this song has become the sound of death!" Gao Feng said expressionlessly, his eyes immediately fell on Zhang Yingbin's corpse, and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Yingbin should still be Jingyue's boyfriend when Mu Ling died, and Jingyue and Mu Ling are friends, I think...... Something unspeakable must have happened at that time, which is why their death is linked to Mu Ling. If we want to solve the case, we have to figure out what happened! ”
"But Mu Ling, Jingyue, and Zhang Yingbin are all dead, how can we know what happened a few years ago?" Xiao Yue asked with a frown.
"No, there may still be people who know what happened between the three of them back then." Gao Feng's eyes revealed a glimmer of light.
"Who?" Xiao Yue asked instinctively.
Gao Feng secretly took a breath and replied, "Wen Xing! ”
Xiao Yue's face was slightly stunned, and then she regained her composure, and analyzed from the perspective of the police: "Wen Xing is a friend of Jingyue and Mu Ling, and Zhang Yingbin is Jingyue's boyfriend, and they should have known each other a few years ago. If something really happened between Jingyue, Mu Ling, and Zhang Yingbin back then, then only Wen Xing knew about it! ”
"No, there are at least two people besides Wen Xing." Gao Feng corrected.
"Who else?" Xiao Yue asked puzzled.
Others also cast curious glances at Gao Feng.
