Chapter 23 Racking your brains
"So what are we going to do next? Do you just give up? I asked helplessly. www.biquge.info It seems to me that there is no other way to do this than to put this case on hold for the time being.
"Of course, you can't just give up." Mu Zihan said: "Now that there are these clues, although they seem to make the case more complicated. But at least we have one thing that we have to figure out right away. ”
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"It is to immediately return to the scene of the crime and figure out the specific modus operandi of this case." Mu Zihan said with a serious face.
Hearing this, I felt a chill on my back, and cold sweat came down.
Mu Zihan, this guy won't forget about the situation in the car now because of discussing the case. No, if this topic continues, the result will definitely evolve into a situation where Tang Xin immediately left for the apartment where Tang Xin was to retry the scene. I must quickly find a topic to interrupt this development, or we will be in great trouble.
By the way, when it comes to modus operandi, I suddenly remembered that before coming here, Mu Zihan had said that the murderer may have used a certain mechanism to make Tang Xin fall from the window by himself. You know, he hadn't seen these confession records and evidence at that time, how did he find out at that time?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked: "Yes, by the way, Zihan, I remember that before you saw these evidences, you said that the murderer may have used a certain mechanism, how did you find out?" ”
"Oh, that's nothing, it's actually a conclusion drawn from the point where you were almost hit by a flower pot first, and then Tang Xin fell from the building." Mu Zihan replied.
Then maybe seeing that I was still looking at him with an anxious and puzzled face, he pouted helplessly and explained: "The 18th floor, the height is about 55 meters. Therefore, ignoring the air resistance, Tang Xin fell from the window of her own house and hit the ground, which should have been between 3 seconds and 4 seconds. So according to the principle of free fall, if the potted plants are rubbed down together when she falls out of the window. The pot should have fallen to the ground at about the same time as her, and might even reach the ground a little later. However, the result was that the flower pot hit the ground first, and it was a few seconds before she hit the police car. Therefore, the situation at that time should have been that the bonsai fell out of the window before her. ”
"Oh, I see, but what does that prove? It is possible that the killer accidentally knocked over the potted plant first when pushing her out of the window, causing it to fall first. I retorted.
"Siyuan, have you ever accidentally dropped something from a window upstairs?" Mu Zihan asked,
Seeing that I shook my head, he said, "Actually, this is a habitual action of people. If you accidentally drop something out of the window, you can't help but see what happens after you fall. At that time, our police car was already parked there, so the murderer must have found us too. In that case, he would inevitably hesitate to continue to do so, so that the delay would never be just a second or two. Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, the potted plant that fell down was actually one of the mechanisms that made Tang Xin fall from the building. ”
"Oh. In other words, the murderer's crime was to first let the defenseless Tang Xin drink a drink or other food mixed with a large amount of sleeping pills. Then took advantage of Tang Xin's coma to have sex with her. used another mechanism to arrange Tang Xin as if he was standing at the window. In the end, after he left the scene, he triggered the mechanism and let Tang Xin fall to his death. Is that so? I asked.
After listening to me, Mu Zihan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Judging from the current clues, it is indeed possible that this is the case. However, to further determine, it is necessary to re-examine the scene. Siyuan, yes, I finally see that you are willing to use your brain. Otherwise, I almost thought your head was just an ornament. ”
Although he seemed to be praising me, it sounded more like he was hurting me. Moreover, I'm going, why did the topic go around in a circle, and it came back to this point at the retrial scene, is this kid determined to go to the scene now? Or is he just playing with me? Big brother, this is playing with fire.
You must know that the large paragraph I said in order to open the topic was something that I had to think of with great difficulty, and I almost racked my brains to connect all the sequences before and after the case.
I feel like my brain is about to run out of oxygen because of this, Mu Zihan, why haven't you remembered that our car can't carry people indiscriminately now? In particular, police officers are not allowed.
No, it seems that we can only find a way to delay as much time as possible. Fortunately, it is almost evening now, and it will not be long before it will be dark, and Uncle Wang and they will also get off work. At that time, even if the scene is to be retried, it should be arranged tomorrow. As long as it is scheduled for tomorrow, we can take advantage of this evening to move those baby bumps in the car to the office.
"But, if that's the case, why is Tang Xin's door open? Could it be that after the murderer finished arranging the scene, he was not afraid that someone would run in and destroy the mechanism he had arranged because the door was open? "I had to try to come up with new questions.
It's just that after asking this sentence, I can't wait to scrape my ears, and this answer is actually obvious, for the needs of the agency or to mislead us. Moreover, now that we have determined that on the 18th floor of the single apartment, there is only one resident Tang Xin, and it is basically impossible for anyone to come, so even if the murderer leaves the door open, he does not have to worry about someone coming to destroy his arrangement in a short time.
The most depressing thing is that when it comes to the agency, Bacheng will mention going to the scene to confirm, isn't I urging Mu Zihan to go to the scene again in disguise? What the hell, why are all the doubts I can think up in my head now revolving around the modus operandi?
Sure enough, after I finished asking, Mu Zihan shook his head and said, "I just praised you, but it turned out to expose your IQ again." Then, my question was answered. And the answer is almost exactly what I thought. It's just that at the end, he added: "Siyuan, what's the matter with you sweating profusely?" People are uncomfortable? ”
Sweating? When did I sweat profusely? Thinking about it, I couldn't help but touch my forehead, and it turned out that there was really a lot of sweat. However, this is not the reason for the illness, it is because you are in a hurry. It's a pity that I can't say this to him directly, so I can only smile reluctantly and say, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little tired, I want you to drive me back to rest." I deliberately put the word "driving" more heavily to remind him about the car.
But just as I finished speaking, suddenly a white hand touched my forehead from my side, the delicate and soft touch, and although it was a little cold, but with a familiar fragrance. This feeling made my mind stop for a moment, my mind became blank, and I just felt that my whole body was hot all at once.
"It seems to be a little feverish, what's the matter with you? Don't you even know you're sick? Fang Ling complained while measuring my temperature with her hand.
In fact, I didn't get sick, I was just because of the previous nervousness and anxiety and the current excitement, so I was like this. However, it is rare for Fang Ling to care so much about me, and I don't want to explain these things now.
"Alright, in that case, let's stop here for today. Now that the case is at an impasse, there is no point in discussing it any further. So, tomorrow at 10 a.m., we'll go to the retrial site together. Uncle Wang stood up and said, "Zihan, you send Siyuan back quickly and let him rest well." ”
