Chapter 050: Techniques and Props
The direct cause of death of Lao Jiu and several people was caused by the coal stove used for heating in the rental house. Speaking of which, I can even imagine the scene at that time: Lao Jiu was dizzy, he didn't even have the strength to move his body, they breathed the smell of burning charcoal, but there was no way to escape.
That mood must be hopeless.
They don't have the strength, and the murderer doesn't even have to tie up, he just needs to gag their mouths. This is destined to have no binding marks on their bodies or traces of struggle before they died. And in the three days that they were trapped in the village, the old nine and the others had not been tortured to the point of having no strength, and they must have been tied up.
However, there are many ways to tie people without leaving a mark on them, such as wrapping a quilt around a person's body and then tying them up. Li Deshui is a magician, and he often does some rope bondage performances, which he should know all too well.
After being trapped for three days, Li Deshui took Lao Jiu and several people to the rental house. In the case of insufficient fire, charcoal burning will produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, and the house is closed, and after a long time, several people will be poisoned by carbon monoxide. When the room is filled with carbon monoxide gas, Li Deshui should be outside.
The time of their death was in the middle of the night, and at that time, Li Deshui hid in a dark place to ensure that he would not be discovered.
The bloody handprints at the scene of the murder, Luo Feng and I have reasoned before, that is, after Lao Jiu and several people died for more than 12 hours, and their bodies were completely stiffened, the murderer took their hands and pressed them one by one. The purpose of this is also analyzed by the murderer to make the case look weirder.
When blood is drawn three days before death, it is to prepare for the bloody mudra. Three days, plus a few days after death, the rapid change of the epidermis of the corpse, to the day the forensic doctor performed the autopsy, almost a week has passed, this time difference, coupled with the epidermal changes of the corpse, made the forensic doctor unable to find the tiny pinhole.
The bloodstains were from Lao Jiu, but the corpses did not bleed, which made those dense bloody handprints look very weird. In fact, Li Deshui just took advantage of the time difference. This kind of trick can deceive the forensic doctor because Li Deshui is very smart, and he has also created a lot of other events and clues that cannot make people feel weird, so as to provide psychological guidance to the police and divert everyone's attention.
Mindset, and the fact that the forensic doctor didn't find the pinhole, all of us, including me, didn't expect that the blood had been extracted and preserved beforehand. And Li Deshui created a lot of clues to confuse the police, some of them were more subtle, and some people on the other side saw a few people playing mahjong, and the mahjong collision sound heard by the lady next door.
It's easy to create the sound of mahjong colliding. Li Deshui will choose that rental house, and he must know who lives next door to the rental house, and he also knows that the sound insulation of the rental house is not good. Because of this, the old lady next door can hear the loud sound of the TV on.
I speculate that the sound was deliberately released by Li Deshui when he trapped a few people who had no strength to struggle in a room full of carbon monoxide. Li Deshui was thoughtful, in order not to leave traces of struggle, he did not tie up Lao Jiu and the others, but he was afraid that they would make a move, so he deliberately turned on the sound of the TV.
There is only one door at the scene for Lao Jiu and a few people to escape, and Li Deshui is guarding outside, not only to prevent Lao Jiu and a few people from escaping, but also to observe the movements of the people next door outside and adapt to the situation.
The figure seen by the person opposite is not difficult to explain. We have done experiments at the scene of the crime, and the brightness and position of the lights at the scene of the crime are not enough to reflect the figures of Lao Jiu and several people on the window. However, the eyewitnesses on the opposite side saw it, so someone must have held a lamp that could emit a beam of light, put it in a suitable position, and projected the bodies of Lao Jiu and several people on the window.
Saying that, I set my eyes on Li Deshui's body: "The projection of light is a piece of cake for you, a great magician, it's okay to deceive some careless policemen, but when you meet smart people, you can't fool them." ”
Li Deshui finally spoke, he also smiled, and asked me, "That smart man, do you mean you?" Go on, I'm suddenly eager to hear you, the so-called smart man. ”
Li Deshui's words made me feel faintly uneasy.
These methods are just small tricks, but when they are made together, it already makes people shudder. However, the most frightening thing is probably the money that has turned into the underworld currency and the fresh food in the stomach of the deceased.
In the surveillance footage, we found a man with an inch head. Because the picture is too blurry, we have no way to identify whether he is Li Deshui or not. However, I am very sure that the money that turned into the money has something to do with that person. On the three return trips to deliver food, each time there was an inch-headed man sticking to the guy and the boss to cross the congested road, which is a coincidence and very small.
In addition, on the last day, when the inch-headed man left, he did the action of wiping sweat. We have also analyzed this action before, whether it is because of heat or relaxation, this action is a little suspicious, especially after combining it with other suspicious points.
The inch-headed man crossed the street three times with the guy and the boss, and it was only about five seconds.
Banknotes don't turn into paper out of thin air, and after ruling out the suspicion of the guys and bosses in the store, only on the way back can problems arise. And among them, most likely, is the crowded street, because in other places, the guy and the boss are on bicycles.
However, we have always questioned who can open the zipper, pull out a banknote, stuff a piece of paper, and close the zipper in just five seconds, without being noticed. In the five seconds that the inch-headed man and the guy were attached to the boss, what happened under him could not be seen in the surveillance screen.
However, if the inch-headed man is Li Deshui, Li Deshui can definitely complete it.
The magician's magical performances rely on two things: techniques and props. This is something that even laymen know, Li Deshui, as a very famous magician in the port area, has a magic performance technique that is so fast that it is unbelievable and cannot be noticed, which is very normal.
Some pickpockets, when stealing things, are also unaware. But a pickpocket is a pickpocket after all, and it can't be compared to a magician who trains his skills every day. Li Deshui's magic performance, Luo Feng and I have already appreciated, especially when playing poker, it is surprising.
His fingers are flexible, which is a must for a magician. Five seconds is enough for Li Deshui, and that street is very crowded, which creates a very convenient activity for Li Deshui's actions. The guy and the boss, they all went out with their fanny packs.
A takeaway will not have a lot of money in his waist bag, at most some loose money for change, which makes the guy and the boss not care too much about the waist bag. In addition, the guy and the boss are both pushing bicycles, and when they cross the road, they are likely to just pull their fanny packs slightly in front of them, and then push the bicycles to squeeze people.
Pickpockets choose people to start, generally with a goal, and the boss and clerk are printed with the words "Chaoyangji". They themselves did not expect that there might be a pickpocket targeting the waist bag of a takeaway clerk, let alone that a pickpocket would be able to steal the money in the bag in such a short period of time.
After crossing the street, their belts were unscathed, and they didn't care even more, and they didn't tell the police about crossing that street afterwards.
There is also the extra piece of dark paper in the fat pocket, Li Deshui only needs to stuff it in, which is much simpler than opening a waist bag. I tried it at the time, and it was discovered by Fat Ji, but I couldn't do it, just because a skilled magician can't do it.
As for why the Chaoyangji paper and the paper in Feiji's pocket have the fingerprints of the deceased and Yunqing respectively, it is also related to the technique of a magician. The takeaway was ordered after Lao Jiu's death, so the person who took the takeaway and handed the banknotes at that time could only be the murderer hiding in the house.
That person is Li Deshui.
Li Deshui only needs to stuff the dark paper into his waist bag, like a playing card in a magic show, hidden in the palm of his hand, using the posture and angle of the palm to deceive the eyes of the guy and the boss, and when receiving takeaway or handing money, he inadvertently let the paper touch their fingers, and the fingerprints are easy to reach.
Li Deshui's palm may have been isolated with some kind of film that will not affect the flexibility of the palm in advance, so there is no Li Deshui's palm print left on the paper. As for the other actions, Li Deshui was definitely wearing gloves, so he did not leave any traces.
I am also sure that Li Deshui has seen Yunqing, so the house in the countryside, the blue car, and the dark paper related to the fat base will have Yunqing's physical characteristics. I speculate that Yun Qing knew that Li Deshui was the murderer, and he was afraid that if we arrested Li Deshui, it would involve a big secret of Sansongguan and affect Yun Gao, so he confessed his guilt with all his heart.
When I said this, Li Deshui suddenly applauded and kept nodding his head. Luo Feng shook the knife in his hand a few times again and asked Li Deshui what he wanted to say. Li Deshui then spoke: "You are very smart, but all this is just your speculation, I admit that I can do everything you say, but in this world, the people who can do this are not just me, why do you doubt me?" ”
I lowered my voice: "You'd better shut up. I don't like people interrupting me, do you think you're doing it perfectly, do you think no one knows what's going on with the food in the stomach of the deceased! The magician's technique is the possibility that you are the murderer, and the magician's props are the inevitability of you being the murderer. ”
