Chapter 115: How to Kill
"Qian Er was killed by your own hands." I said to Sun Xiang with certainty.
Sun Xiang didn't refute either, Sun Xiang's personality was extremely strange, he was so calm now, I even wondered if the panic he had just now was deliberately faked. Sun Xiang is an extremely thoughtful person, he is also very smart, and he is very good at taking advantage of people's hearts. He is constantly pretending to make us notice him.
Most people who think that the real murderer will not expose their suspicions, and he must have taken advantage of people's psychology, making us feel that the more suspicious the person, the less likely he is to be a murderer. Indeed, Xu Yi and I focused on other people at that time, and thus learned about what happened between Ma Tao and Wang Xin.
We suspected Ma Tao of communiqué for personal vendettas, and even wanted to go back to the city at one point, and we almost had to pass by the truth.
"You killed the person yourself, you have enough time to commit the crime!" Everyone looked at me, in everyone's eyes, Sun Xiang had no time to commit the crime, he also had an alibi, everyone wanted to know how Sun Xiang killed someone.
I sorted out my thoughts, and finally decided to start with Qian Er and us entering the mass grave.
Qian Er is a local, even if he doesn't often go to mass graves, he must be very familiar with the way to mass graves, but he took us on a long detour. The road we took was not only a long way, but also had to pass through an overgrown grove, and it stands to reason that Qian Er was afraid that he would not be able to take us to a place where snakes might be infested.
Compared with the other road, it is very close, and it is a stone-paved path, which is about two or three times faster to walk, but Qian Er does not take us on this road, it is obvious that Qian Er does not know, but he does it on purpose. When I said this, I asked the villagers present, the village was not big, everyone grew up in the village, except for a few children, everyone said that they knew about the existence of the shortcut.
On the contrary, everyone is relatively unfamiliar with the road that Qian Er took us.
I looked at Sun Xiang: "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Sun Xiang was finally helped up from the ground by the criminal police, and his two hands were pressed from behind by the criminal police. Sun Xiang smiled lightly and shook his head, Ma Tao was not lightly angered by Sun Xiang's appearance, he asked me to leave Sun Xiang alone and continue to speak.
I nodded and continued to analyze: "You asked Qian Er to take us that long way." ”
The people in the whole village are convinced of Sun Xiang, and even everyone believes that there are ghosts in the village, Sun Xiang asked Qian Er to take us on a long journey, and it is not difficult to find a reason to prevaricate in the past. Qian Er has more than one suspicion, including the fact that he installed an old battery for the flashlight that is about to be unusable.
In the eyes of the villagers, going to the mass grave is a matter of life and death, without light, we can't move an inch, how can Qian Er joke with his own life, so it can basically be inferred that he installed the discarded old battery, not because he said to the villagers "save money", but because he was instructed by others.
If you want to risk your own life, if you can direct Qian Er like this, I am afraid that there will be only one "master" Sun Xiang in the village.
Not only that, but after we arrived at the mass grave, all the lights of our flashlights were extinguished, and Qian Er was so scared that it didn't look like it was pretending. But he still asked us to wait where we were, and we ran into the pitch-black mound of dirt with trembling, and Sun Xiang was the only one who could dare to do this.
"It is said that Professor Li is famous, and when I look at it today, he is really much smarter than others." Sun Xiang didn't deny it, his words made my heart tighten, Sun Xiang really knew me for a long time. Sun Xiang had been controlled, he glanced towards an empty place, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.
It was a bush, and Ma Tao hit the beam of the flashlight, but everyone didn't find anything. Ma Tao couldn't rest assured and sent two people to investigate. Sun Xiang had already taken his gaze back, and he asked, "Then do you know what I let Qian Er in?" ”
Without hesitation, I replied, "Let the snake go." ”
I overlooked one thing, and I didn't remember it until the results of the sacks came out. Snakes are not social animals, in a wide area, they generally do not intertwine, but crawl alone, and when we see those snakes in mass graves, they are all tied in piles, and even many of them are intertwined.
The sacks I found on the side of the stone road were identified and found a lot of snake excrement and secretions, and when I thought about it, I thought about the reason why those snakes were piled up and entangled. So many snakes were put in sacks and placed in mass graves in advance.
Qian Er ran in to release the snake from the mass grave, and after releasing it, he threw the sack in the place where it had been placed in advance, and it was too dark at that time, and we only paid attention to the snake, so we couldn't find it. Xu Yi listened, and also recalled the previous situation, she nodded in agreement.
"But after the incident, we searched all the neighborhoods, and we didn't find any sacks near the mass graves." Ma Tao interjected.
"It's very simple, after Sun Xiang killed Qian Er, he immediately returned to the mass grave to take the bag away, he threw the bag far away, but if he completely destroyed the bag, the case would probably not be solved." I said.
In this case, only Xu Yi and I are really investigated, and there is a timid criminal policeman, which is very difficult, as long as one of the clues is missing, it is impossible for me to stand here and analyze the case for everyone like now. Speaking of which, there is a question that has to be discussed, where did Sun Xiang get the time to commit the crime.
I took Ma Tao to ask from door to door, and the questions asked were the same, what time was it. Some villagers pointed to the clock on the wall and replied to us, and most of the villagers did not even have a clock at home. The poorest part of Zhu City is here, most of the villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset, except for a few times to take crops to the town to sell, they basically do not leave the village.
Time is not very important to the villagers, so many people don't use clocks at all. I asked the whole village, and I found a phenomenon, not a single person in the whole village had a watch. So it is very suspicious that everyone can tell the time when Sun Xiang let everyone disperse so accurately.
So I asked a lot of villagers how they knew it was 0:10, and they said that when Sun Xiang was doing the Dharma that day, a clock was hung on the platform, and the time on it was displayed like that. Later, Sun Xiang looked at his mobile phone, said the time, and asked everyone to go back to rest first, and he waited alone.
The clock was hung up after we were gone, so we didn't know it.
The problem is here, the time that everyone sees is 0:10, but in fact, when everyone disperses is earlier than the time when Qian Er was killed, according to the time calculation, Sun Xiang rushed to the path with the fastest time, and killed Qian Er again, it would take about half an hour.
We set off at midnight at almost eleven o'clock, and the villagers stayed there all afternoon and evening, already tired, and Sun Xiang had been chanting words, although we had only set off for half an hour, but everyone felt that it was normal for almost an hour in the past.
The actual time when Sun Xiang asked everyone to disperse was about half past eleven, and as soon as everyone dispersed, Sun Xiang rushed to the place where he had made an appointment with Qian Er from the small road and killed Qian Er. Qian Er trusts Sun Xiang very much, and it is not difficult for Sun Xiang to kill Qian Er.
After Sun Xiang killed Qian Er, after disposing of the corpse, he went around to the mass grave, picked up the sack that Qian Er had put down, and then rushed to the shortest road. There were too many dirt slopes in the mass grave, and it was dark, and Sun Xiang was familiar with the terrain, so we had no way to find him. After he returned to the village, we called Sun Xiang, who immediately called some villagers to come.
"Don't the villagers go home and don't look at the time?" A criminal police officer who was present asked.
I shook my head. The night we first came to the village, we found out that the whole village did not dare to turn on the lights, and no one dared to light wax, the villagers were tired for a day, and after going back, they lay down to rest, time was not important to them, the house was dark, and it was difficult for them to grope their way back to the house, who would go to see what time it was.
The reason why Sun Xiang is smart is not only because he uses the size of the room space, but also because he takes advantage of this time difference.
"What about the traces of the scene and Sun Xiang's motive for killing?" Someone asked.
