Chapter 14: Accidental Death

At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone came to the restaurant one after another to eat, some came early, and they were almost finished, but the monk had just entered.

When the monk picked up a piece of lotus seed cake and was eating a bowl of millet porridge, Tang Yuzhe suddenly leaned over and said, "My name is Tang Yuzhe, may I ask, does Mr. Chen Long usually get up late?" The monk paused, put down the lotus seed cake he loved in his hand, and replied with a sentence that made Tang Yuzhe almost vomit blood: "The poor monk doesn't know." Hearing this, Tang Yuzhe's rice almost didn't squirt out, thinking to himself Aren't you two together, why don't you know this.

Tang Yuzhe calmed down for a while, showed a polite but not embarrassed smile, and said, "Then Master Lao will accompany me on a trip and wake him up." ”

"Yes. ”

"Hey, Chen Long, it's time to eat. Within a few minutes, the two of them had already arrived in front of Chen Long's room, but no one in the house even answered a few calls.

Tang Yuzhe got up before seven o'clock and set up in the room, during which she didn't hear the door on the other side open, that is to say, Chen Long must still be in the house now, but no one answered when she knocked on the door several times in a row, which made her keenly aware that Chen Long might have had an accident.

"Master, let's bang on the door together and see what's going on inside. ”

"Good. The monk didn't pretend to be profound this time, and began to bang on the door without saying a word.

"Bang"

After a few "bangs", the door was slammed open, but the sight in front of them stunned the two - Chen Long is dead!

Tang Yuzhe and the others did not act rashly, because if they entered the scene rashly, they might be regarded as murderers, so the two of them kept standing in front of the door and waiting for everything else

The "players" were attracted by the sound and did not move until they were all together.

"Don't move, just stand and watch. Tang Yuzhe turned his head and said with an unkind face.

"Then what did you call us to do, you are so bullish, you fly solo. "A man in *** exploded on the spot.

"Do you think I don't want to?" Tang Yuzhe took out a pair of white gloves and put them on, and then said: "I called you here just to make a notarization and investigate the crime scene? Ridiculous, do you have experience in this area? You will only destroy the scene and make the already few poor clues become fewer." The man's face turned red with anger after hearing this, but what they said made sense, so he had to compare his middle finger.

"On the face of it, it should have been a suicide by hanging. While speaking, Tang Yuzhe lowered Chen Long's body from the rope, but the careful Tang Yuzhe found that there was no thin metal wire mark on Chen Long's neck except for strangulation marks.

Tang Yuzhe checked the rope again, and found that there was a small piece of piano string wrapped in the rope, and he couldn't find it if he didn't look carefully.

After that, Tang Yuzhe found the key to Chen Long's room under the cabinet directly opposite. After that, Tang Yuzhe used duct tape to extract all that was present

The fingerprints of the "people", of course, include Chen Long's, and then use the iodine found in the ancient castle to turn it into iodine vapor through the rope and the key, and find that there are only the fingerprints of the monk and Chen Long on the rope, and the key is even more exaggerated, and there are no fingerprints on the key!

Tang Yuzhe simply explained the situation at the scene and left the scene alone. Judging from the situation at the scene, it is likely to be a suicide, but what was the motive for the suicide?

How do you explain the fingerprintless room key under the cabinet, and what does the piano wire in the rope mean?

Tang Yuzhe thought of Chen Long's confident appearance last night, smiled, and said in a low voice: "When you are alive, you give people pressure, and when you die, you don't have to worry about it, you are really a troublesome person." While talking to herself, Tang Yuzhe walked towards the garden, she needed to find a quiet place to think about it.

At lunchtime, the remaining eight people sat around a table, and after a brief self-introduction, the other four people were a small group centered on a prosecutor named Lu Renjia, and Tang Yuzhe found that this middle-aged man in his forties was a bit of the old judge in "No One Survived", after more trials, some sick images brought death to the guilty, and in layman's terms, when he stared into the abyss, the abyss swallowed him.

In the afternoon, Tang Yuzhe returned to Chen Long's room, because she knew that because the murderer was among the crowd, it was not realistic to propose to search everyone's room, not only because the murderer would not agree, but also because it was still a long time, and the search of the room would allow people with ulterior motives to check the general situation of the room in advance, which was too risky, so Tang Yuzhe had to go back to Chen Long's room to find some clues.

Tang Yuzhe sat on Chen Long's bed and carefully recalled every detail of the incident.

"First of all, the secret room, but since the key was found under the cabinet directly opposite the door, there are many ways to do it. The second is the piano line, why did the murderer embed the thin piano wire in the rope, just trying to disguise it as suicide? But the piano line in the rope with the strangulation marks of the line is very difficult to deceive me, who has experience in handling cases, and this clumsy behavior seems to be deliberate. Third, I don't have a clue about the killer at the moment, first of all, the three people who are with Chen Long are not very likely to endanger Chen Long because they know each other, even if it is infighting, they should wait until the other four people are killed first, at least get rid of me first before starting infighting. Besides, there are no other four people, if I were them, I would also pick Chen Long, who performed well yesterday, was very threatening and seemed to be the leader, but I didn't notice that any of them had prepared crime materials or thought that 'you can kill people tomorrow' as long as it is after 12 o'clock it will be tomorrow, I think, the only one who can think of this is Chen Long, and he will tell the other three companions. I remember that the man and the woman were always together, and when I mentioned in the morning that there were only the fingerprints of the monk and Chen Long on the rope, the two of them subconsciously leaned over and looked at the monk with some doubts, could it be ......that the time came at eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone sat around the dining table, ready to start identifying each other.

"As a criminal policeman, I will review this case first and preside over this vote, do you all have any objections?" Tang Yuzhe said first.

After everyone expressed no objection, Tang Yuzhe continued: "Before I say my guess, I want to ask three questions, first of all, Mr. Lu Renjia, you seem to be the core of your group, I think, our three groups of people should actually have their own strengths, just like I have experience in handling cases, Chen Long is very smart, and his comprehensive ability is relatively strong, so may I ask, what are your strengths?" Lu Renjia smiled slightly and said: " According to what you say, my specialty is murder, and I have four murders on my hands, and the police still don't know anything about them. Tang Yuzhe, Xu Zekai, and Gu Yi all gasped when they heard this, those who could say this kind of thing with a smile were not normal people, and they also silently labeled Lu Renjia as extremely dangerous in their hearts.

The other three looked at him with adoration, like a group of fanatical believers, while the monk remained expressionless, closing his eyes and listening.

"Second. Tang Yuzhe turned to face Gu Yi and the others, and his years of criminal police career still made Tang Yuzhe quickly calm down.

"May I ask you two, how many years have you known Chen Long?" Without waiting for Gu Yi to speak, Xu Zekai replied first: "Soon, it will only be three or four months, but in the past few months, we have been living and studying together. Tang Yuzhe listened, keenly captured the fact that they were classmates, and continued to ask: "So, shouldn't you be learning how to become a monk, then, when did you meet this monk?" Hearing this, the monk, Xu Zekai, and Gu Yi frowned at the same time, and then, Gu Yi replied: "The two of us only met the monk last night, and Chen Long, it seems that he only ......met yesterday" Hearing this, Lu Renjia, who was sitting on the side, suddenly turned his head and smiled at the monk and said, "Hey, monk, do you mind killing people?"

"This benefactor, it is not a good stubble to sit here, so the poor monk does not mind the use of force when necessary. ”

"That's good. Tang Yuzhe interjected: "Now let me ask the third question, monk, now, is it necessary?" After the monk listened, he smiled and replied: "Now we are all suspicious, and the poor monk is the most suspicious, but the poor monk can tell you, although I am not very familiar with Chen Long, but the poor monk will not kill him, if you want to vote for the poor monk, the poor monk will not make a defense, because the poor monk is also a mess in his head, and the poor monk will not participate in the vote before he has a clue." ”

"Very sincere," Tang Yuzhe said,

"But there is not the slightest evidence that you did not kill him, so I can only give my surmised murderer according to the existing clues.
