Chapter 25: The duel begins

Xu Tian was hesitant to send out the mystery revealed, because once he sent it out now, he would probably lose the opportunity to discuss the case with Zhinian Tai Sui. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But if it is not sent out, others may also solve the mystery, so Xu Tian still decided to write the truth in the comment area.

First of all, the kitchen secret room method is revealed, focusing on the door and the snow, and the old butler is stabbed to death in the fifteen minutes when everyone has dispersed. After the old housekeeper returned to the kitchen, he did fake his death according to the original plan, but at this time, the murderer stepped on the footprints left by the old housekeeper on the snow and rushed in, pulled out the fruit knife that the old housekeeper pretended to insert in his chest, and pierced the old housekeeper's chest with a blow. After that, the murderer closed the kitchen door and walked back backwards on the footprints of the old housekeeper, because the blizzard was relatively large, and when Xu Tian and Adjutant Zhao came to the kitchen, the footprints had been half submerged by the blizzard, and it was impossible to see how many people had stepped on the row of footprints. That's the clue to the snow.

And what about the door? In fact, both the reader and the characters in the story were deceived by that door. People are generally used to pushing the door into the room, except for the door, the general door is open to the inside, and rarely to the outside. The story describes the scene where Xu Tian pushed the kitchen door, at this time Adjutant Zhao kicked open the kitchen door, no matter who can think that Adjutant Zhao kicked the door because it was locked inside, if there is no door lock, it should not be described with the word "kick". As long as the kitchen door is designed to be open to the outside, Xu Tian will definitely not be able to push the door open, at this time Adjutant Zhao immediately went to kick the door, from the subconscious, whether it is the detective or the reader in the story, they are blinded by this setting. In fact, the door is open to the outside, which is why it creates the illusion of a secret room for the detective and the reader.

Similarly, Commander Fang's study is also, and it is also Adjutant Zhao who kicked the door, even if there were four soldiers around Adjutant Zhao at that time, as the chief was kicking the door, the soldiers had no reason not to help, Adjutant Zhao used to kick, of course the soldiers also used to kick, so the doors of the two secret rooms were not actually locked, but the kicking trick performed by Adjutant Zhao shaped the study and kitchen into a perfect secret room.

The accomplice must be Adjutant Zhao, there is no doubt that Adjutant Zhao, who has lived in the Fang Mansion for five years, cannot be unclear about the design of the door, even if the two doors were opened inward before, as long as the door is replaced with an outward open one in the past few days of the crime.

Adjutant Zhao was always by the detective's side when the old housekeeper was killed, so it can be seen that Adjutant Zhao could not be the murderer who killed the old housekeeper, so who would be the murderer of the old housekeeper?

Except for Fang Qingzhu's mother and son and Xiao Nannan, everyone else is possible. Because Fang Qingzhu's mother and son didn't have the right to speak at all in the Fang Mansion, it was impossible for their mother and son to order their subordinates to change the door. Xiao Nannan, as an outsider, is even more impossible, no one will listen to an outsider to change the door, even if it is changed, it is difficult to keep it secret in front of the Fang family, and Xiao Nannan will also be exposed afterwards.

Then the murderers are left with Mrs. and the eldest young master, according to the second clue, Commander Fang first raised his head, and then lowered his head, Mrs. Fang had the closest contact with this clue. I can't believe Mrs. Fang's one-sided words, and there is a very important link, that is, the old housekeeper once glanced at Mrs. Fang before he died, what did the old housekeeper do when he asked Mrs. Fang to go to the kitchen? Why do you call Mrs. Fang for no reason? There can only be one reason, and that is that the old butler may have witnessed Mrs. Fang enter the study for the second time.

If Mrs. Fang went in and killed Commander Fang after Xiao Nannan left the study, this would make sense, as long as the old housekeeper and the eldest young master kept it a secret for themselves, at least Xu Tian assumed so.

But the mystery can't be like this, and there must not be too many accomplices, because this is a story, not a reality.

Xu Tian decided to beat the ruling Tai Sui first, although the murderer has not yet been revealed, but the modus operandi has been seen through by Xu Tian.

After finishing the text, Xu Tian clicked send.

Five minutes later, Xu Tian refreshed the comment area, and there were thousands of replies to the comment just now, all of whom praised the modus operandi, but there was a nickname with the word administrator that refuted Xu Tian's opinion.

The reason for the rebuttal is that after killing the old housekeeper, it doesn't make sense to walk back backwards and step on the footprints, because it is likely to be discovered by others at that time, even if there are more accomplices, it is also risky, once Xiao Nannan or the old lady passes by here, the murderer will definitely be exposed.

Xu Tian began to get excited, because Xu Tian could be sure that this administrator should be from the perspective of Zhi Nian Tai Sui to refute himself. And this refutation is very reasonable, it is impossible for a person to walk backwards like a normal walk, even if he steps on the footprints and goes backwards, it is inevitable that he will leave traces, and it is impossible for a detective not to find such traces.

After typing the reply, I sent it out again.

Two minutes later, the administrator replied.

The method of the door is correct, and how the murderer exited the scene of the crime has not yet been solved.

Xu Tian fell into a low ebb this time, and since it was impossible to step backwards and step on the footprints, there was really no other way, unless it was when Mrs. Fang approached the kitchen, and the murderer took advantage of the chaos to come out of the house. That's right, in the story, when Xu Tian and Adjutant Zhao found the body of the old housekeeper, the two did not go directly into the kitchen, but stood at the door of the kitchen and discussed for a while, and without saying a few words, Mrs. Fang came over, at that time, Mrs. Fang still wanted to step into the kitchen, but was dragged by Adjutant Zhao. If Xu Tian was distracted by Adjutant Zhao and Mrs. Fang at that time, the murderer who had been hiding in the kitchen would have been able to take the opportunity to come out.

However, this method was rejected by the administrator again, this time on the grounds that the method designed by the ruling Tai Sui was not like this at all.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is there any other way to exit the scene of the crime? The outside of the kitchen was completely covered with snow, and there were no other footprints except a row of footprints that walked into the kitchen, could the murderer not be able to fly? That's right, fly! Xu Tian felt that the murderer could use bamboo poles and other things that could make people jump, first stepping on the footprints of the old housekeeper into the kitchen, and then bouncing back. But Xu Tian thought about it again, this is also unlikely, wouldn't that be a certain drama! Completely out of line with the logic of a normal person.

Now that the door has been right, the only clue left to be related to the kitchen is the snow, and the murderer's way of exiting the crime scene should be related to the snow. But Xu Tian racked his brains and couldn't think of any way, because there was nothing on the snow in the story except for a row of footprints entering the kitchen.

By the way, there is nothing......
