Chapter 124: Speculation

Ji Shangwu felt some truth after hearing it, so he didn't say anything, but walked into the back room as if he was looking for something, I followed him in, but the decoration in the house still startled me, in my impression that the style of private house decoration is generally based on dark colors, and the furniture is as simple as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the old lady's home is completely different, I looked around, nodded and said to Ji Shangwu: "You see, all the walles are some expensive wallpapers, the solid wood coffee table and mahogany sofa and these benches, I think it is also expensive, it seems that the old lady's children should be very filial during her lifetime." ”

Ji Shangwu ignored me, but walked into the kitchen, and then called me over, and when I came in, Ji Shangwu said: "See, there are not many oil stains on this range hood, and even the plastic film on it has not had time to be removed, the color of the gas stove has not changed much, it seems that either it is a new move, or the family just can't cook." I agreed with the idea, and said: "That's right, after all, there are not many old people who can't cook, and at this age, although they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, they will inevitably be a little empty, so cooking by themselves is just a pastime." ”

After walking out of the kitchen, Ji Shangwu frowned slightly: "Lao Li, why did I smell a strange smell as soon as I came in, it seemed that something stinked." "I sniffed carefully in the air, and sure enough, there was a strange smell. Following the direction of the smell, we found a room with a closed door, it looked like a bedroom, I tried it and found that the door was not locked, as soon as I pushed the door open, the smell just now swept like a flood of beasts, followed by a large swarm of flies, I frowned and waved my hands, and stood at the door for a while, Ji Shangwu pulled his clothes and covered his nose and mouth and walked in, I followed him in the same way. When I entered the door, the things inside made me faintly nauseous, and it turned out that the strange smell just now turned out to be a pile of rotten food.

Ji Shangwu squatted at the table and watched, and after a while walked up to me, and said: "It seems that these things should be more than ten days old, although the weather is not too hot, but corruption is inevitable after a long time, but I can generally see that there are fish and meat on this table, and this old lady's small life is not bad." It's just that she's not the only one in the room. I took two more steps back, and even the best delicacy would rot and spoil over time, and I looked at the things on the table and said, "How do you know it's not a person?" Ji Shangwu pointed to both sides of the table: "See, there are obviously two chopsticks on the table, and in addition to this big bed, there is a folding bed piled up in the corner of the wall in this bedroom, which seems to be a mother and son." ”

I was a little puzzled: "Mother and son? How so? Ji Shangwu explained: "First of all, the chopsticks on the table made me sure that there were two people in the house, so there are four possibilities, the first is that there are two old people living in the house, that is, the old lady's wife, the second is the mother and daughter, the third is the mother and son, and the fourth is the old lady's neighbor came to his house as a guest, right?" ”

I nodded: "That's right, according to common sense, there are indeed four possibilities, so what can this folding bed mean, or how can it prove that the house is inhabited by a mother and son, and not the other three possibilities?" Ji Shangwu pointed to the bed and said: "According to my visual opinion, the bed should be one meter eight by two meters, it should be a double bed, if the other party and the old lady are old wives, then why not say in the same bed, and you can take care of it more, second, if the other party is the old lady's daughter, this is easier to explain, I don't need to say more, third, if the other party is his neighbor, then he can go back to his house after eating, why sleep in the old lady's house?" ”

I suddenly realized: "I understand, if the other party is the son of an old lady, then there is a difference between men and women, even the mother and son should have a part of their own private space, so they should sleep separately." Ji Shangwu smiled and did not answer. We walked out of the bedroom and into the courtyard, when I said, "It looks like we're in a hurry to eat, or I haven't moved much since the food was served." ”

Ji Shangwu tilted his head and said, "How do you know?" I said solemnly, "Even though the vegetables have spoiled and shrunken, a closer look can still show that only the tail of the fish has moved a little, and the rest of the fish is intact." Ji Shangwu took a breath and asked, "What if they don't like to eat fish?" I looked at him with a smile for a while before saying, "Didn't you just conclude that the old lady made this meal with his son, right?" Ji Shangwu nodded with some doubts, and I continued: "And there are only two pairs of chopsticks on the table, which means that there were only two people eating at that time, since there are only mother and son on the table, then why make fish that neither of them like to eat, isn't this a waste of food, and it is a waste of so much effort, what do you say?" ”

Ji Shangwu clapped his hands and said, "So that's the case, since I made a table of dishes and didn't eat much, it looks like something happened." I nodded, "yes, and it's something they didn't expect." Suddenly, Ji Shangwu sneered: "This matter should have something to do with this pool of blood." I thought for a moment and said, "It seems that someone came to the door when the two of them were about to eat, and then killed them." ”

"And how many people did he kill? Is it his mother, or is it his son? Ji Shangwu said with his chin propped up. I followed his train of thought, and then said, "I think both of them were killed." ”

"How do you know?" Ji Shangwu turned to look at me and said. I explained: "First of all, the old lady is dead, this is confirmed, and secondly, if her son is still alive, then why not go to the police, and besides, why should the murderer leave a living mouth when he has already killed someone, you must know that for the murderer, one more living mouth is one more chance to be able to sanction himself, but there is another possibility." ”

"What is possible?" Ji Shangwu asked, I pointed to the large amount of blood, and said: "That is, the murderer was killed under the counterattack of the old lady's son, but because he was afraid, he ran away without even caring about his wife's corpse." Ji Shangwu narrowed his eyes after hearing this: "What you said makes sense, by the way, let's take a look at the back of the house." (To be continued.) )
