Chapter 5: Suspicious points

After returning to the office, Mu Zihan and I did not go back to our rooms to rest, but sat in the office to discuss the murder case in the south of the city. www.biquge.infoBecause, although the time is a little late, if you go to bed at this point in time, it will inevitably seem too early, especially after reading all the homicide information, now I have countless speculations and questions in my heart, even if I want to sleep, I may not be able to sleep.

"How's that, any ideas?" After Mu Zihan poured himself a cup of tea, he looked at me and asked.

"I guess the murderer may be Zhao, and his alibi said that he was driving home at the time of the crime. Although the road surveillance video obtained by the traffic bureau proved that the road surveillance did capture the proof that his car was driving on the highway dozens of kilometers away from the crime scene at the time of the crime, and that road section was at least half an hour away from the crime scene. However, I think this is too coincidental, so I suspect that it wasn't necessarily him who was driving, maybe he had someone to drive his car through that section of the road at that time. "When I heard him ask me, I began to make self-righteous inferences.

"Siyuan, reasoning is not a guessing game, you can't take it for granted, and you can't imagine it based on your subjectivity. Reasoning is based on existing factual evidence and normal logical thinking to deduce the most reasonable possibility. Mu Zihan listened to my words and looked at me helplessly, and that look made me feel as if a teacher was looking at a primary school student who couldn't teach no matter how he taught. This made me very unconvinced, so I retorted: "Then you said that what I just said is right?" ”

"Wrong, and very wrong. Siyuan, if the situation you said was many years ago, it would indeed be possible. But most of the current road surveillance cameras are high-definition cameras, which can capture the appearance of the drivers in the car, since the police have proved that his alibi is valid, then Uncle Wang must have confirmed this in detail with the traffic department, so he was definitely driving at the time, so he will not have the possibility of committing a crime. Mu Zihan said.

"That's Zhu, his alibi was captured by the elevator camera in the apartment where his house was located during the time of the crime, but after that, did he really go home directly? This is highly doubtful. Also, I've seen on TV that someone covers the lens of a camera with a photo so that the camera can take a picture of the content in order to pretend that they are in an elevator, when in fact, someone else has already left the elevator. I couldn't refute Mu Zihan's words, so I thought for a while and then said.

"That's not possible, this technique is only suitable for situations that are not far from the elevator and can rush back to the elevator in time to retrieve the photos after committing the crime. Otherwise, if a person has been in the elevator for a long time and does not go out or move, wouldn't it be more likely to arouse suspicion? Of course, with today's technology, he can also use the tablet to play videos instead of photos, as long as the tablet records the video of himself entering and exiting the elevator in advance, and then fixes it in front of the camera at an appropriate distance, then there may not be a suspicious situation of staying in the elevator for a long time, but the risk will be greater. After all, the tablet is much more conspicuous than the photo, in case someone takes the elevator during this time period, they will find this mechanism, even if the time of the crime is midnight, there is no guarantee that no one will use the elevator. Mu Zihan denied again: "Even if you take 10,000 steps back and say that the above methods are successful, there will be traces of the fixed tablet near the elevator camera, which is impossible not to be discovered by Uncle Wang." Since there is no trace, it proves that he did take the elevator upstairs at that time. ”

"Then could he have used a similar technique to Li Mingsheng at the beginning? first pretended to take the elevator upstairs, but in fact did not go home, but after exiting the elevator door, he took the stairs downstairs, bypassed the security guard at the entrance of the community, and rushed to the scene of the crime and killed the deceased. I continued to ask.

"That's impossible, Zhu's apartment is about 35 kilometers away from the deceased's rental house, plus the relationship between urban roads, even if there are fewer vehicles at midnight and it is not easy to get stuck in traffic, it will take at least half an hour to drive. Moreover, the most conclusive evidence is that from his house to the deceased, he had to pass through at least eight traffic lights with cameras, but the road surveillance did not capture the video of him driving by. Of course, you can suspect that he was taking a taxi, but that would have taken more time, and it would have been almost impossible to be present at the scene at the time of the crime. Moreover, the police will definitely find the car he was in at the time and the driver of the car soon. But not at the moment, which means that he didn't do it, but did go home to sleep. "Mu Zihan is surprisingly patient today, and he hasn't shown any impatience yet. If it was usual, I guess he would have thrown me a "think for yourself" and went back to sleep.

Taking advantage of his rare patience to explain, I began to speculate more boldly: "If it weren't for the two of them, then it would be only Xiaofang, her confession said that she left after a big fight with the deceased, and she sulked and drank at a nearby night stall." Later, the police did find the owner of the night stall and proved that she was drunk at his stall at the time. However, the actual situation may be that she was angry while drinking at the night stall, and even the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she used the wine to strengthen her courage, and returned to Xiaoying's rental house halfway and killed her. After that, he returned to the night stall and continued to drink. As for the testimony of the owner of the night stall, it is completely possible to spend some money to get the other party to give false testimony. ”

"Siyuan, I saw you watching the anime "Detective Conan" a few days ago, do you like to watch this kind of detective mystery film?" To my surprise, after listening to what I said, Mu Zihan actually answered the question and talked about the TV I was watching a few days ago, with a smile on his face.

"Well, yes, don't you think there's something in it that would be useful to us too?" I nodded and replied, I do like this kind of suspenseful detective TV series.

"I don't deny that there are some things in some detective suspense stories that do help us actually solve the case, but, you know no, the last part of your reasoning just now reminds me of a person in "Detective Conan"." Mu Zihan's smile became even stronger.

"Who? Shinichi Kudo? Or Heiji Hattori? Hey...... "I smirked self-righteously.

"No, it's neither, it's Maori Kogoro, and your reasoning is the same as what he has in terms of. Have you ever thought about it, if it is according to your last reasoning, then, may I ask why the deceased was naked before he died? As he spoke, Mu Zihan laughed uncontrollably, and I was so angry that I couldn't say a word. Then, he restrained his smile again, and Zhengse said: "Actually, so far, although there are many clues in this case, there are more doubts, so it is too early to conclude who is the murderer." Then, Mu Zihan began to describe several main doubts of this case for me in detail.

First, what is the rope-like murder weapon that the murderer used to strangle the deceased? Why can't I find it on site? What is the need for the murderer to take it with him?

Second, after the identification of the police officers of the forensic department, only some of the deceased's personal belongings at the scene of the crime still had the fingerprints of the deceased alone, and there were no fingerprints in other places, which obviously caused the scene to be cleaned up by the murderer. If it was an acquaintance of the three deceased who committed the crime, was there any need to clean up the fingerprints at the scene? Because they have always been in contact with the deceased, and often come to the deceased's rental house to look for her, it should be normal for them to have their fingerprints on the scene.

Third. What exactly was the motive for this homicide? At present, the relationship between the three suspects and the murderer is that of the boss, a regular customer, and a colleague and friend, has anything happened between them that causes the murderer to kill the deceased in order to resolve his hatred?

After Mu Zihan finished speaking, I also fell into deep thought, indeed, the above three points are the key points of this case, but so far, neither the police nor we know anything. Suddenly, I seemed to realize that I had neglected a major matter, our firm was commissioned to solve ghosts, so why didn't Mu Zihan directly find Xiaoying's ghost to ask about the situation at that time? So he couldn't wait to speak: "By the way, why don't we just find Xiaoying's ghost and ask her who killed her, so that we can know who the murderer is?" ”

"Siyuan, what are you kidding? I'm not a psychic, and I don't know how to summon spirits. I'm just an ordinary person like you, at most I can see the ghosts and communicate with them, can't you do the same? If they don't come to me themselves, where can I find Xiaoying's ghost for you? After listening to my words, Mu Zihan's expression became surprisingly serious, and he looked at me and said: "Moreover, I said that resentful spirits, like aurora and mirage, are also a natural phenomenon, and they also have their own places to go, if it weren't for the heavy resentment before death, they wouldn't stay in this world." After speaking, Mu Zihan's mood seemed to deteriorate suddenly, and after dropping the sentence "It's not early, you should rest early, and you will go to Uncle Wang early tomorrow morning", he turned around and went back to the room directly.

Seeing his reaction was so big, I was a little overwhelmed for a while, could I have said something wrong? However, if you think about it, it doesn't seem to be. Forget it, since he doesn't want to say it, it's useless for me to sit in the office stupidly all the time, as Mu Zihan said, it's not too early, it's better to go to bed early.
