Chapter 54: Maybe it's really suicide
The members of the executive department, who were still crowded in the room, walked away in the blink of an eye.
Aside from Russell and Ringo, there wasn't even a living person in the house.
Even the corpses of the dust crevices, they were not buried...... The moose man, with his cervical spine bent, remained stuck in the bathtub in this position, as if practicing holding his breath, submerging his face in dark red blood.
“…… Mr. Ultramarine? ”
Being in the same room with the strange-looking corpse of the "suicide", Lin Ye couldn't help but be a little scared.
She stood closer to Russell, looking around as if nervous, as if sensing the sight of the underworld: "We still have ...... Keep looking?
The executive department all said...... Mr. Dust Gap committed suicide. I don't think it's pointless for us to find out anything......
"They obviously just don't want to care! Eight bullets in the back, two in the back of the head alone, how can it be suicide - are you listening? ”
Lin Yi whispered, but saw Russell staring at the corpse fixedly, staring intently.
After a while, Russell suddenly said: "One meter eight, thin and tall." Lack of arm strength and steady walking. ”
"What?"
"After calculating the trajectory of the bullet marks, the muzzle position can be deduced. Although there are no footprints, you can still calculate the approximate size of the other party. If there are footprints, I can also model the prisoner directly by calculating the footprint size, center of gravity, and stride length. ”
Russell stared intently at the void in front of him, and said casually: "When I was in school, I liked to do bullet mark calculations. The executive department of Sogo Island sometimes entrusts me with some cases for analysis and modeling. Some unsolved cases give me the feeling of playing a hardcore suspense reasoning game, and I have a sense of accomplishment when solving difficult problems, which is very interesting. ”
"Game ...... Is it? ”
Lin Yi's eyes widened slightly.
She also knew about "bullet mark analysis", which was also taken at Nephthys University.
In her undergraduate studies, she only scratched the surface...... But just looking at those dense formulas and data, Lin Yi felt his scalp tingle - even if the specific calculation steps could be handed over to the computing center on the empty island, the center that only provided the computing power did not have the intelligence to see what happened in the past like going back in time.
The identification of useful data and the selection of formulas are all done by yourself. After the initial data feedback, it is even more difficult to come up with various possibilities through irrational deduction......
Unless the deceased is motionless after being shot - whenever he moves, even if it is just to turn around, he must "initialize" the scene in his mind. If the initialization is not accurate, the intersection of these bullet marks can end up being very bizarre.
Either fly directly to a height of more than five or six meters, or bury directly into the soil. If the shot is not immediately dead, but there are steps to move and dodge, and it may even be possible to analyze the bullet marks caused by a gun into seven or eight people; Or it is the analysis that the gunman shoots while jumping sideways around the victim.
And the big question here is...... Considering the existence of psionic powers, the results of those outrageous analyses may turn out to be true. Therefore, a clear bullet mark analysis report can not only lock the number, body size and other data, but even determine whether the opponent is a psychic that can form a special shooting angle.
This leads to the problem that you can't directly extrapolate that your calculations are incorrect by saying that the results are obviously unreasonable. That unreasonable result may be the truth.
This is a more difficult subject than advanced mathematics...... It is better to say that advanced mathematics, a subject that the mathematics department disdains, is not worth mentioning in the face of bullet mark analysis. It is necessary to computation at the level of complex dynamic system and real function to be comparable to the extreme application of bullet mark analysis.
And this kind of subject, which tortured countless students, including Ringo, was only ...... in front of Russell Fun game?
It's like someone naturally saying "the real function is pretty interesting, I'll play it as a game if I'm fine".
- What kind of monster does this have to be?
Although Lin knew that Russell was excellent from the beginning, it was only at this moment that she really realized why Russell was so good that he was targeted by the elf directors......
"It's a pretty hardcore game indeed."
Russell nodded, stared at the void in front of him, and at the same time said easily: "You see, we can only calculate the bullet marks by bullet holes and backwards, which is the essence of modern technology. After that, we can also simulate his position before his death, and by simulating his actions after being shot, we can directly determine the details of the crime scene, or as it is now, directly lock the specific data of the prisoner.
"Look...... We can calculate that although there was a struggle after being shot in the dust, there was no idea of escaping. After the first five shots, it was the sixth shot that took some time, and what happened along the way?
"If it was a forced question or torture, there was no trace of the head of the dust gap being lifted out of the water. He didn't even have fresh fingerprints left on him. So I reasoned that he must have been shot five times and then forcibly used a physical link to input or output something from his brain.
"From this point of view, then the sixth shot may be the real purpose. For example...... In order to destroy the evidence.
"And when we calculate his last position before he died, combined with the depth of the bullet hole, we can calculate the kinetic energy of the bullet. Then we can tell that he was not shot and then pushed into the pool by the force of the impact, because that small bullet had no such kinetic energy at all. He was at least half a meter away from the bathtub. Therefore, he should have taken the initiative to throw himself towards the pool when he was hit - Lin Yi, I test you, what does this mean? ”
“…… What does it represent? ”
Lin Ye's voice suddenly froze.
It's like a dream back to a college math class - it's like being drowsy and suddenly asked by a teacher to stand up and answer a question.
That strange and familiar fear made her instantly silent.
"Ringo?"
didn't hear her reply, Russell frowned slightly and turned his head: "Say what you want to say directly, I'm not your teacher, what are you afraid of?" ”
"Representatives, Representatives......
Lin Yi replied tentatively with some stumbling tentativeness: "On behalf of him...... Did he commit suicide? ”
As soon as she said this, she realized her stupidity and realized that she had said the wrong thing.
She hurriedly tried to make amends, to try to save her image in Russell's mind: "I mean, this probably represents...... He actually knew he was going to be shot? He did it voluntarily?
“…… No, no, I mean ......"
"You're right, what are you afraid of?"
Russell glanced at her strangely.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and was a little stunned: "Ah, that's good...... Ay......? Am I right? ”
"yes."
Russell nodded: "He bare his back himself so that the man can aim."
"I also dumped myself forward after being shot, so that my body could accurately fall into the water instead of falling on the spot...... It's like I'm afraid of accidentally getting something dirty.
"He'd die in the bathroom, probably because it would be a place to hide the gunshots and wash away the blood — even if he was next to the bathtub and fell immediately after being shot, there would have been blood in the spot where he was shot. But the ground is so clean that there is no trace of it...... There can only be one explanation for this, and that is that it has been washed out. And it was when the blood was not yet dry.
"Then the situation is clear."
Russell said, looking at the shower head next to him: "He was shot dead when he was driving this thing." The sound of the water drowned out the gunshots and screams, so it was not noticed by the neighbors.
"And when we came, there was still moisture, but the water had already stopped. That means that it was the second person who closed it when he came. The interval between them was enough for the water to wash the blood from the ground into the sewers.
Even if it wasn't the dust that shot him, he must have the will and consciousness to die. From that point of view......
"This may really be called suicide."
