Chapter Ninety-Nine: Retelling and Sorting Out the Clues of the Incident Chapter II
About the incident chapter 4 of the rope bridge around the clues and problems of the consolidation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The beginning of the fourth chapter can be said to be the beginning of events.
At 5:00 p.m. on May 2, everyone except Jiang Xinglong and his wife had arrived at Luoque House.
Not long after that, Jiang Xinglong and his wife arrived, Liang Yongxin went to greet him, and then there was a quarrel between Jiang Xinglong and his wife and Bian Benyi and his wife in the foyer, and Luo Yifan, who entered the back room, found that the rope bridge was abnormal and came out to tell everyone.
After the fifth chapter, the plot of the bombing of the rope bridge is presented, and Jiang Xiaomei lost her footing and became the first victim.
We know that Jiang Xinglong and his wife were the last people to arrive at Luoquewu.
And not long before them, the maid Li Song Weiyi had just left the Luoque House.
Let's assume that the rope bridge was indeed bombed, but who is most likely?
In general, it is certainly the last person to arrive who is most likely to plant the bomb.
But it doesn't make sense here.
Because we know that Jiang Xinglong did have a premeditated plan to get rid of his wife, but he was driving at the time, and his wife was by his side.
If he wanted to blow up the bridge and lure his wife to the bridge to give the illusion of a misstep, then he would never have planted the bomb while he was with her.
Also, if you throw a bomb out of the window, you may even be killed.
Is it possible for Li Songwei, who went down the mountain, to plant a bomb?
First, when she left the house, there was absolutely no bomb on her body, which can be seen from the description in the article, and the owner of the house, Liang Yongxin, can prove that unless Liang Yongxin and Li Songwei are also conspirators.
Second, on the face of it, the maid only went to the house to earn money so that she could support her old mother and son, so she had no motive. Besides, where can a destitute maid who has no money go to buy a bomb?
Is it possible to plant the bomb in advance? It's about planting bombs before everyone comes.
This possibility, if it is operated, will have a chance for all those who arrived at the Luoque House on May 2, because the owner of the house, Liang Yongxin, hardly lives in the Luoque House, and it is very convenient to act secretly.
Of course, those who carry out covert drug trafficking activities in the Bird's House, blowing up the bridge, is more convenient for them.
To your disappointment, though, this is still unreasonable.
The most important reason is the rain, which has been raining from the night of April 30 to the night of May 2, and even the nights of May 3 and May 4, and has continued throughout the night every time.
The planks on the rope bridge are long, and we know that the bridge deck is wide enough to pass two cars in parallel, and there must be a gap between the planks and the planks, so that even if the suspect planted the bomb under the planks, it would inevitably be soaked by rain.
The bomb is not as large as a firecracker, especially if you buy homemade earth explosives, so that you can blow up the entire area of thick wood in the middle of the rope bridge, and its size will not be small.
Therefore, even if it is placed under the bridge, such continuous rain, even if it is a bomb that is only planted a day in advance, will inevitably get damp and lose its function. (There is no possibility of wrapping the bomb in something waterproof here, since the police simply won't find anything like that afterwards.) )
And the most important thing is how the killer controlled the time of the bomb's explosion?
Is it random? No way!
The guests of the Luoque House arrived on the mountain in batches, and even the owner of the house, Liang Yongxin, did not know when they would come, let alone the others.
At present, it seems that the murderer, for ulterior purposes, wanted to kill all the guests who came to the house, including the owner of the house.
In case the bomb explodes in advance before everyone arrives, wouldn't there be a fish that slipped through the net?
In summary, on the afternoon of May 2, no one had the opportunity to plant bombs near the bridge, and the possibility of planting bombs in advance was close to zero.
Then the question arises, if not a bomb? If it weren't for the bomb, was there anything else that could have caused extensive damage to the bridge deck?
Here are a few key points from the original article:
First, "the rope bridge is about 50 meters long, with two small pylons holding the solid iron cables that form the bottom and the guardrail, and the deck is paved with thick planks that are tightly connected, wide enough for two cars to cross in parallel. "This is a basic morphological description of the rope bridge, which is enough to show that the rope bridge before the Roquewu was very strong.
Second, the length from the front of the Roquehouse to the edge of the rope bridge, including the entire rope bridge, is less than 120 meters, that is, the length from the Roque House to the rope bridge is about 70 meters at most. At this distance, a person with good eyesight can see very clearly.
Luo Yifan was the first discoverer, not to mention why he inexplicably went into the bedroom to check, let's assume that he was telling the truth at the time, then, did he really not find anything wrong with the rope bridge at all?
Third, Luo Yifan just saw the smoke coming from the rope bridge, but Jiang Xinglong reacted greatly and immediately rushed outside to check, whether it was the owner or a guest of the Luoque House, this reaction was very strange.
Although there was no possibility that he would plant a bomb, it was very likely that when he passed by the rope bridge, he threw a smoke bomb without telling his wife, and when everyone noticed that smoke was rising from the bridge deck, he lured his wife to the side of the bridge in this way, causing her to stumble.
However, the above is just speculation, don't forget that Jiang Xinglong once said to Luo Yifan that he definitely did not kill anyone.
No matter how credible this sentence is, at least we can be sure that Jiang Xinglong did not have the motive to kill anyone else except his wife Jiang Xiaomei.
In addition, smoke bombs are unlikely to cause extensive damage to the bridge deck.
Fourth, the reaction of the others was to rush into the inner bedroom on the first floor, the only one where they could see the rope bridge, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Please note that this bedroom can be said to be the main location of the triple chamber later, and his windows and balcony are also very eerie.
Although I don't cover that in Chapter 4, I do mention it here: "No one thought to close the window when they left. ”
This sentence seems ordinary, but in fact it is very interesting: who will open the window in the first place? The double bed in the master bedroom on the first floor is next to the window, and to open the window you need to climb onto the bed.
The windows are transparent, and the outdoor wooden security nets will definitely obstruct the view, but not too much. It's still okay to see the condition of the rope bridge clearly.
So in a hurry, would anyone really climb into bed and open the window?
Or was the window open in the first place?
This clue is very crucial, he can be said to be a foreshadowing of the triple secret room later, and it is also inextricably related to the bombing of the rope bridge. Of course, these have to rely entirely on the reasoning of Yun Yeyao and Luo Yifan to complete the final answer.
Returning to our question, is it possible to cause extensive damage to the wall and produce the effect of a suspected bomb explosion in the absence of a bomb?
I have to say, we can't be sure.
Jiang Xiaomei stumbled and slipped into the valley, Jiang Xinglong pounced to save her, and almost slipped into the valley, it was Liang Yongxin who used his body against the bridge pier to save Jiang Xinglong's life.
After everyone brought Jiang Xinglong up, less than five minutes later, Yuan Muhibiscus saw that the bridge deck began to burst, and the smoke on the bridge deck had just shown a little sign of retreating, but with the sound of explosions and the cracking of wooden planks, billowing smoke also rose from under the bridge.
In other words, although everyone could see that the wooden planks were indeed shattering and heard the sound of a suspected explosion, it was impossible to know what caused it.
It is impossible to know if it was a bomb or not.
At that time, Luo Yifan did think that the bridge deck was blown up by the bombing, but all the basis was only tongues of fire, smoke billowing from the rain curtain and deafening sounds.
Why is there something missing here? Without the splinters of wood that should have been flying around, this is the most suspicious place!
Everyone must have seen the water dripping in the oil pan when cooking vegetables, and the boiling oil splashed instantly, in the extremely subtle blasting, the oil splashed out of the pot, and it could fly high and far, sometimes you take a few steps back, it can fly steadily to your face.
At the time of the explosion, the damaged items were actually like this, and they should have been flying out in all directions.
However, there was no splashing, only fragments of wooden planks that kept falling and stirring up a splash on the surface of the lake.
Maybe no one thought about this layer because everyone was nervous at the time, but no one doubted it afterwards? Or is there someone who deliberately obscures it in words or deeds?
Again, it's a question waiting for detectives to crack, including whether it's a bomb or something else that's causing this phenomenon.
And at the end of chapter 4, who is the only woman who hasn't lost her mind? Is she good or bad? Who was the man she saw holding Liang Yongxin?
The last question should not be arbitrarily concluded, the more inconspicuous the place, the more it can reflect the deep secret that deviates from the surface.
Let's leave all these problems to Yun Yeyao and Luo Yifan's gray brain cells to solve! And we will be the witnesses of their reasoning and solving the case.
