[163] Exploration
"This building was handed down from my grandfather, who was older than me, and my sister and I grew up here......"
Sun Mingyuan looked at the building, his eyes were full of embarrassment, and said: "Since my little sister left, I will come once a year, but other than that, this place is basically closed." In addition, there are two security guards who take turns to be on duty all year round, and no one is allowed to enter without my orders. ”
Sun Mingyuan will come here every year on the day of his little sister's death and stay quietly for half a day. Over the past 15 years, rain or shine, it has become the rule.
However, the time he can bear is half a day at most. The longer you stay in this building, the more you think about it, and the more you think about it, the more burning the pain in your heart becomes...... When everyone came to the front of the building, Sun Mingyuan stood in front of the rusty iron door and made a phone call.
A short time later, a man in his fifties opened the iron door.
"Boss, are you here?" The man looked a little wooden, but his every move seemed quite steady.
Sun Mingyuan patted this person on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work, Lao Wang." ”
Lao Wang said, "Boss, will you go up now?" ”
Sun Mingyuan nodded, turned to Mo Yan and said, "Let's go up......"
As he spoke, he took a briefcase from his attendant and told him to wait below, then turned and walked towards the middle of the building.
Mo Yan and Huang Liuxia glanced at each other and followed Sun Mingyuan into the building.
Although the building is semi-enclosed, the floors and furniture in the building are fairly neat, and it is clear that it is often cleaned.
However, due to the lack of living people, there is inevitably a stale atmosphere in the huge building.
At the entrance is a large living room, Sun Mingyuan introduced: "The meeting was held here fifteen years ago, and there were 37 people, including me......
Mo Yan asked, "Among these thirty-seven people, do you include security guards?" ”
"It's all guests, not including security guards and waiters......" Sun Mingyuan patted the bag in his hand and said, "The information of the security guards and waiters is here, and I will hand it over to you later." ”
Mo Yan said: "Why should they be listed separately? ”
Sun Mingyuan explained: "This kind of family-style gathering is relatively private, except for the living room, the second and third floors, security guards and waiters are not allowed to go up. They do not have access to the scene of the crime and are the least suspected, so they are listed separately. ”
Mo Yan nodded and said, "I guess, there must be no monitoring facilities in the building, right?" ”
Sun Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "If there were, maybe that kind of thing wouldn't have happened......
The living room of this building is quite large, and its pattern is rare in this era, Mo Yan patrols the entire living room, as if he has walked into a movie scene in the twenties and thirties of the last century...... He recorded all the scenes in the living room in his mind, and then said, "Mr. Sun, let's go up." ”
Sun Mingyuan nodded and took the lead on the stairs leading to the second floor.
Everyone went up to the second floor, but they saw a corridor on the left and right.
Sun Mingyuan introduced: "The left and right passages are actually connected and square. There were eight rooms on the second floor, four of which were used for guests to rest, and the other four were chess and card rooms, and almost half of the people stayed in these four chess and card rooms that night...... In addition, there are several game rooms at the back of the living room on the first floor, which are filled with some popular video games at the time, as well as billiards and so on. ”
Sun Mingyuan said, opened the door of a room casually, and said, "This room is the lounge, and the things in it have been kept as they are......"
All the furniture in this lounge was covered with a layer of white cloth, Mo Yan looked at it casually, and said, "There's nothing to study here, Mr. Sun, let's go directly to your sister's bedroom." ”
Sun Mingyuan said: "My sister's bedroom is on the third floor, please come with me......"
The building was built in the last century and has wooden floors, and although the passageways and stairs are carpeted, they creak with a little hard step.
In such a quiet environment, these 'creaks' sound from time to time are particularly terrifying.
Mo Yan secretly said in his heart, this place is good for making horror movies, in terms of atmosphere, it is even more eerie and terrifying than the real 'haunted' No. 36 Courtyard.
There are more than a dozen bedrooms on the third floor, and Sun Mingyuan led Mo Yan and Huang Liuxia to a room on the east side, and said, "This is my sister's bedroom......"
From the outside, this room looks like any other bedroom, but on the right wall of the door, there are temperature and humidity monitors and a small indoor monitoring screen.
Mo Yan's gaze fell on the doorknob of the door, where a lock had been installed, using an old-fashioned lock.
"This room has been closed for fifteen years, and it hardly opens on a regular basis, except for inspections every three years."
Sun Mingyuan took out the key, opened the lock, then looked at Mo Yan, and said solemnly: "Mr. Mo, after the sealing film inside is opened, it may never be able to return to its original state." So, please......"
Mo Yan said: "I won't touch those sealing films, you don't have to worry." ”
Sun Mingyuan was stunned and said, "Don't need it?" ”
Mo Yan smiled: "I have my own way of observing things. ”
Sun Mingyuan had already pinned all his hopes on Mo Yan, and when he heard this, he didn't have any intention of questioning, and nodded: "Okay, then please." ”
As he spoke, he twisted the doorknob and opened it.
This time, he didn't go in first, but took a step back and said, "Mr. Mo, I won't go in." ”
Mo Yan nodded and didn't say anything.
The reason why Sun Mingyuan was reluctant to go in was because of two reasons, one was that he didn't want to see things and think about people, and secondly, he didn't want to disturb Mo Yan.
Huang Liuxia knew the truth that 'there is a specialization in the art industry', and with Mo Yan as an expert, there was no need for him and Sun Mingyuan to go in, so he also stayed at the door, and patted Mo Yan's shoulder, and said, "It's up to you!" ”
Mo Yan nodded slightly, and was about to enter the door, but suddenly remembered something, looked at Sun Mingyuan and said: "Mr. Sun, since you don't plan to go in, then give me the information, I need to combine the information to investigate the scene......"
"Look at my brain, don't you say that I almost forgot......" Sun Mingyuan immediately handed the bag in his hand to Mo Yan and said, "In addition to the text materials, there is also a tablet computer, which is full of some video materials." These images are surveillance footage from the time, and in addition to the photos taken by the police and the statements recorded by all the people, there are also some personal information about my sister. ”
Mo Yan took the bag, nodded, and said, "Give me half an hour......
With that, he walked into the room and closed the door with his hand.
Standing inside the door, he took a closer look at the room.
All the furniture in this room is sealed with film, even the small ornaments, and the floor is covered with two layers of thick plastic film. At a glance, the whole room is a miserable white.
Mo Yan looked at it for a while, and then turned his gaze to the bed in this boudoir, where Sun Mingyuan's sister was strangled to death.
He stood quietly in front of the bed, carefully observing...... The bedding on the bed is also sealed with a film, but this does not hinder Mo Yan in any way, the observation of self-consciousness is equivalent to transmissive scanning, and any doubts will be infinitely magnified in Mo Yan's spiritual platform.
However, time is the best ablative agent in this universe, and whether it is a trace of matter or thought, it will eventually be dissolved and destroyed before the merciless torrent of time...... A few minutes passed, and he didn't notice anything unusual.
Shaking his head slightly, he opened the briefcase in his hand and took out the materials and tablet inside.
It took him two minutes to scan everything into his mind, then open the video and watch it again.
These videos were all surveillance footage at the time, probably because of transcription, or the surveillance equipment at that time was not as sophisticated as it is now, and the picture did not look very clear.
However, Mo Yan doesn't care about this, the monotonous video footage of these scenes is not of much value except for providing a timeline.
He only watched it for five or six minutes before turning off the videos.
Mo Yan knew in his heart that the police at that time must have studied these video images frame by frame, and if there was any suspicion, they would have discovered it long ago.
Aside from the timeline, these videos don't provide much information.
While watching the video materials, Mo Yan was concentrating on two things, and his self-consciousness was also working at full strength, analyzing and reconstructing all the information he had just entered one by one, and then making a comprehensive deduction.
After almost ten minutes of this deduction, the conclusion reached made Mo Yan frown slightly.
The conclusion shows that eight of the 27 people at that time had the time to commit the crime.
Among these eight people, Sun Mingyuan is even included...... The other seven were a classmate and best friend of the deceased, a cousin, a distant cousin, two cousins, and two foreign guests.
"Eight suspects, after getting rid of Sun Mingyuan, there are still seven suspects, this range is a bit wide......"
Mo Yan shook his head lightly...... In fact, the police information also lists the key suspects, three of whom have the same conclusion as Mo Yan, and the others are ruled out by Mo Yan.
Whether it is for Mo Yan or the police, having a suspect is actually far from enough, if you can't find evidence and motives for committing the crime, the suspect will always be just a suspect!
"Judging from the information at hand, it is almost impossible to solve this unsolved case, and we have to change the way......
Mo Yan subconsciously lit a cigarette.
If you go back in time and go back to fifteen years ago, he can personally experience the scene of the crime at that time, Mo Yan is confident that he can find out the murderer in half an hour at most.
Under the shroud of self-consciousness, the murderer's blood flow rate, heart rate, and emotional changes could not escape Mo Yan's observation.
In short, Mo Yan is the most accurate natural lie detector, as long as the suspect is circled, and then through a simple questioning, he can determine who the murderer is. Even, he can use the power of the divine soul to amplify the panic in the murderer's heart from the depths of his consciousness, so that he will not confess...... However, time is a great killer, it can annihilate not only material things, but also human love, hatred, and horror and hatred.
The murderer who was worried at the beginning may have already calmed down today.
And Mo Yan's methods are not omnipotent, if the murderer forgets or even modifies the memories of the year through fifteen years of continuous self-suggestion and psychological construction, he will have nothing to do.
On top of that, even if the real murderer could be identified through these means, he would not be able to produce evidence to prove that the person was the murderer.
