Chapter 35: Repetition of the Case
Ji Xia revealed his doubts and conjectures to Jin Zesen and Pan.
Kanazeden's eyes widened and he sighed, "How is this possible!" ”
"I can't really think of a second explanation other than that." Ji Xia insisted on his opinion.
It is true that he believes in the inference made by Ji Xia in combination with the autopsy of the deceased and the place where the crime was found, but there is a key point that he still hasn't figured out. That is, how did the murderer do all this? Where did the antique "Horse Riding Feiyan" go?
"Brother Jin, why don't we go back to the Shen family."
The Shen family is the place where the case took place and the source of the entire incident. When all the truth is hidden by the fog, it is better to return to the original point than to blindly collide and move forward.
Jin Zesen obviously didn't expect Ji Xia to make such a proposal, he was slightly stunned, glanced at each other with Gao Han, thought for a moment, and agreed.
When he arrived at Shen's house, Jin Zesen was about to push the door in without thinking, but was stopped by Ji Xia and proposed: "Brother Jin, it's better to repeat our case!" ”
"A repeat of the case?" Jin Zesen and Gao Han heard about this way of solving the case for the first time, and they suddenly became interested.
"Yes, take on the role of a murderer and simulate the crime process." Ji Xia explained.
Gao Han pointed to the wall next to the door, and said, "Since it is a simulated crime process, according to our previous inference, we should ...... Go in here. ”
The three of them were turning over vigorously, and the big yellow dog in the courtyard of the Shen family heard the movement and barked wildly, disturbing the neighbors of the Shen family. The neighbor leaned over and shouted, "What are you doing, you guys?" ”
The three of them hurriedly came down from the wall, and were about to explain, when they looked at the person who had just called them the informant.
Jin Zesen hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Brother Shu, it's me!" ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the Golden Catcher. What are you doing ......?"
"Brother Shu, let's investigate the case!"
Brother Shu looked at the three of them suspiciously, this Jin Zesen is the head catcher in the capital, he knows it, if it is said that it is to investigate the case, it is indeed credible, but this is over the wall...... Investigate the case, do you need to go over the wall!
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Jin Zesen hurriedly added: "Let's simulate the murderer's criminal process." This dispelled Brother Shu's doubts.
"Okay, then you can go ahead!" With that, he shook his arms and planned to go into the house.
"Brother Shu, Brother Shu, please stay." Ji Xia said as he trotted towards Brother Shu.
"Brother Shu, did you see us climbing over the wall at the window just now?"
Brother Shu shook his head and said, "I heard the Shen family's dog barking tightly!" I'm worried that something will happen again, and when I opened the door, I saw you climbing the wall. ”
"Does the yellow dog usually bark like that?"
"No, the Shen family's dog is very smart, and the head of the Shen family usually does some training and guidance on it, if it is not a stranger, it is usually rarely called."
"On the night of the Shen family's murder, did you hear the barking of the Shen family's yellow dog?"
Brother Shu tilted his head sideways, thought about it for a while, and replied, "You ask that...... I didn't seem to hear a dog bark that night! ”
After hearing this, Ji Xia's conjecture in his heart was verified a little more, and he bowed slightly to Brother Shu and said, "Thank you, Brother Shu." ”
"Ji Xia, did you think of something again?" Gao Han saw that Ji Xia and Brother Shu finished chatting, standing still in place, stunned, and couldn't help asking.
"The Shen family's yellow dog is well-trained, and it will only bark when it sees a stranger. And that night, Brother Shu didn't hear the dog barking! ”
"You mean ......"
Ji Xia nodded slightly and said, "This shows that the murderer is very likely to be someone familiar with this dog, or even ...... Its owner! ”
"What's this! Sometimes it is possible that I slept deeply at night, and Brother Shu didn't hear it. Kanazesen questioned.
Although Ji Xia believed in his intuition and inference, what Jin Zesen said was not unreasonable, so he did not refute it.
"It's weird, the footprints are gone." After climbing over the wall, Ji Xia suddenly spoke.
When Gao Han and Jin Zesen heard this, they also lowered their heads and looked at it, and said in unison: "It's true!" ”
"When we saw the footprints on the wall before, we deduced that the murderer had climbed over the wall and entered the ......"
Gao Han agreed: "In this way, the footprints on the outside of the wall are deliberately contaminated by the murderer to mislead us!" ”
"Ji Xia, I kind of believe what you said now." Kanazem said with emotion.
"We're starting from scratch and reorganizing the case." Ji Xia stood at the door of the Shen family's hall and said.
"First of all, are we sure that the murderer's original purpose was to steal the 'Horse Riding Feiyan'?" Gao Han asked.
"Judging by the current situation, it should be." Since the "hospital entrance over the wall" theory was overturned, Kanazesen has been skeptical of all previous inferences.
"Well, let's say the murderer is stealing, let's try to repeat the case." Ji Xia proposed.
Gao Han and Kanazawa Sen both agreed.
"First of all, let's say I'm a murderer, and I'm going to steal Shen Haoxiong's new antiques." Saying that, Ji Xia automatically assumed the role of the murderer, and tiptoed towards Shen Haoxiong's bedroom, "But when he left, he was discovered by Shen Haoxiong." ”
......At this time, Ji Xia turned around and found that Jin and Gao were still stunned, and urged: "Why are you still stunned, come and play Shen Haoxiong." ”
"What will Shen Haoxiong do?" Kanazawa was at a loss.
"He would pick up a stick of wood as he passed by the firewood house and go after the thief." Gao Han thought for a moment and gave his opinion.
"Yes, because we found that there was a firewood next to Shen Haoxiong's body, and there was a wooden thorn on the palm of his right hand." Ji Xia answered.
"One of them fled, the other chased. The murderer scuffled with Shen Haoxiong. Arrive at this location. Ji Xia imagined the scene that night, and walked all the way to the location of Shen Haoxiong's corpse in the hall, "The murderer suddenly went berserk, took out a dagger, and stabbed Shen Haoxiong frantically. ”
At this time, the second deceased, Shen Huang, heard the movement and rushed over. Jin Zesen saw Ji Xia and Gao Han's interpretation, and automatically took on the role of Shen Huang, "She screamed in fright......"
At this time, the murderer had already killed the red eye, and he stabbed Shen Huang's neck. Shen Huang was killed on the spot. Ji Xia then said.
The case has been carried out very smoothly and smoothly here. This means that their previous assumptions were correct. Kanazawa couldn't help but show an expectant look in his eyes. He believed that the truth was coming.
At this moment, Ji Xia pointed to a bloodstain on the ground and raised a new suspicion: "You see, this is a low-speed impact bloodstain, and the entire edge of the bloodstain is irregularly radiating. But why didn't the murderer leave immediately with the 'horse stepping on the swallow'? ”
"Then the murderer went to the wall and left footprints, making people mistakenly think that he had climbed over the wall to get in." Gao Han said thoughtfully.
"No, it doesn't make sense, and there's still no way to explain why the killer didn't leave immediately."
"There is also a third deceased, Shen Feng......"
"I'll pretend to be Shen Feng." Kanazawa volunteered.
"As soon as Shen Feng returned home, he found his parents lying on the ground, and the murderer attacked him from behind with a firewood stick...... Ji Xia said, raising his arm to make a gesture to attack Jin Zesen.
"Wait! Are you saying that Shen Feng was attacked by the thugs with a firewood stick? Gao Han keenly captured a suspicious point.
"Yes, I found a wooden thorn on the back of Shen Feng's head."
"And what about the knife wound in his back?"
"It should be the same knife that killed his parents...... Wait" Ji Xia suddenly realized, "I am holding a murder knife in my hand, why did I use a firewood stick to attack Shen Feng?" "Wouldn't it be more convenient to stab him to death directly, so why bother?
"Unless...... All this was done by Shen Feng! Ji Xia concluded.
"But I remember you saying that Shen Feng's knife wound was stabbed vertically from behind." As he spoke, Gao Han clenched his right hand, imagining holding a knife and stabbing him in the back......
"It's very difficult to create a vertical wound, which is why I have been unable to figure it out," Ji Xia explained: "If a person stabs himself with his back hand, then in terms of force, the wound should be slightly hooked upward, and the depth of the wound will also change. ”
But she examined it, and the wound on Shen Feng's back was indeed caused by the vertical insertion of the murder knife.
"What if he didn't stab the knife himself?" Gao Han thought about it for a while, and came out coldly.
"Isn't that another overthrow of Shen Feng as a murderer?" Kanazawa said with a jump on his feet. He had just accepted this possibility, and Gao Han's words made the reasoning return to the original point.
"Not ......"
"I understand what Big Brother Gao means!" Ji Xia said: "Since you can't cause a vertical wound in your back, why not use external force?" ”
Jin Zesen couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, the more he listened, the more confused he became: these two sang and harmonized, saying that Shen Feng was the murderer for a while, and saying that it was not for a while, and now there is another "external force".
I saw Ji Xia walk to the location where Shen Feng's body was before, and carefully inspect the surrounding furniture from top to bottom.
"Here I found it!" Ji Xia greeted Jin Gao and the others excitedly.
I saw her pointing to a piece of wear and tear in the wooden cabinet next to her and said, "Presumably, the wear here is caused by Shen Feng when he stuck the dagger in force." ”
Takahan and Kanazawamori compared the width of the gap with their hands and confirmed that it was similar to the width of the dagger handle!
"It seems that Shen Feng is indeed the initiator!"
"If it is said that the wound behind the back is to deliberately mislead us, creating the illusion that there is a fourth person at the scene of the crime, and to escape responsibility, it will not be such a heavy hand, right?" Jin Zesen couldn't understand what Shen Feng was doing.
That's too crazy, Shen Feng's knife in the back directly killed him.
"I think it's because of this," Gao Han picked up a small pebble from the ground, "and he may have accidentally slipped and caused such a serious injury." ”
Ji Xia nodded, feeling that Gao Han's analysis was very reasonable, and said, "Then it can be explained." ”
Back at the mansion, Ji Xiadang even checked Shen Feng's soles and confirmed Gao Han's conjecture.
"The truth of the Shen family's extermination case has finally been revealed!" Kanazawa's brow finally relaxed.
"Brother Jin, I think, not only will the truth of the murder case be revealed, but 'Ma Ta Feiyan' can also be found!"
"Yes, this is the key evidence!" Jin Zesen slapped his head and said, "How did I forget it!" Where is it? ”
Ji Xia looked at the soil on the soles of Shen Feng's shoes, smiled faintly, and said, "I think, it should be under a few camellia plants of the Shen family." ”
