Chapter 219: "The Perfect Crime" (8)
Unpredictable ideas are adopted.
Because there is no choice at the moment. The enemy confronted by the task force is very cunning and has not yet appeared in the police's field of vision. Or maybe it's been there, but it's not noticed because everything was handled too perfectly.
The next day, the day after Zhang Yichi and Unpredictable arrived in this reincarnation world, the task force focused on Meng Xiaoyang himself.
Meng Xiaoyang's computer and mobile phone were taken by the police for investigation.
Even Meng Xiaoyang's two published inferences were ...... by the Iraqi team The unpredictable arrangement is here.
"I'm thinking about this guy's books, which can't be bought in major bookstores, and the sales are miserable, so what are you doing in this business." Mo Tu took two books and ran through all the bookstores, large and small, but couldn't find them, and finally got the boss to buy the books and came back.
Team Yi and Zhang Yichi each took a copy and flipped through it.
"On the way back, I roughly flipped through it, this guy's reasoning idea is good, but the writing is too stinky." Unpredictably commented, "It's too well written." ”
It took about two hours for Team Yi and Zhang Yichi to read the two books of reasoning written by the deceased Meng Xiaoyang before his death.
"Perfect Crime ......" Zhang Yichi closed the book and looked at Mo Ji and Team Yi, "It can be seen in these two books that Meng Xiaoyang wants to create a perfect crime." ”
"But it's a lot worse." Team Yi nodded slightly, "But the difference is not in reasoning, but as Xiao Mo said, in terms of writing, there are too many differences, the shaping is not real enough, and some places are too taken for granted." ”
"So it's normal for sales to be bad!" Mo said with a smile.
"Of course, that's not the point, the point is that the criminals in both books are trying to commit a perfect crime. This is consistent with the case that happened in reality, so the case may have something to do with Meng Xiaoyang himself, not that the murderer randomly selected Meng Xiaoyang as his 'artwork'. ”
"Now if you want to investigate in this area, I'm afraid you can only find the editor who is connected with Meng Xiaoyang. Except for the editor, there should be no one who knows more about Meng Xiaoyang and his story. Zhang Yichi said.
On the same day, the editor of the publishing house who was in charge of connecting with Meng Xiaoyang came to the police station.
As soon as this person entered the door, he could see that he was very nervous, Zhang Yichi and unpredictable glanced at each other, knowing that the editor must know something secret.
Sure enough, at the beginning, the editor only answered some things about his usual work, and as soon as he asked about the more sensitive places, he immediately didn't know about them, as if he had nothing to do with this case.
But after a little unpredictable bluffing, coupled with the deterrence of the law, the editor still confided the truth.
A fact that completely upends the course of the case.
The day before Meng Xiaoyang's death, he contacted the editor to inform him that he had a new book that was about to be completed. But because of the dismal sales, the editors are no longer interested in the new work of the third-rate mystery writer.
So Meng Xiaoyang said something that seemed strange at the time.
"I don't have any family, and I barely have contact with anyone else, so you're the only friend I'm familiar with, and the only thing that proves I exist. If one day I die, please take over my computer, there are still some unpublished works in it, and if you can find a way to get these stories published, I am willing to have you sign them, and all the profits will go to you. I only have one requirement for my unpublished work, and that is that the title of the book must be named after the document. ”
At that time, the editor didn't care, who would have thought that the next day he would learn that Meng Xiaoyang was killed and died tragically at home.
In this case, he naturally did not dare to get involved in this matter, but in the end he was summoned by the police and told the truth.
And this chat log, when the police searched at the time, did not find it at all, but the editor's computer still kept this paragraph. Obviously, Meng Xiaoyang deleted this chat record before he died.
As for Meng Xiaoyang's unreleased manuscripts of new works, they are hidden in a very private folder. Previously, the focus of the police's investigation was not on the computer, so it was not found, but now it was found by an editor who was familiar with Meng Xiaoyang.
That new unreleased work is called The Perfect Crime.
Same as the words left on the wall.
As for the content, it is completely consistent with this case.
The story is written from the perspective of a frustrated third-rate mystery writer who pursues truly brilliant crimes, brilliant mystery stories, and seeks to the point of madness, and wants to create the best possible work at all costs, writing about the perfect crime that no one can do.
In the end, he came up with the idea of using himself as a blueprint and a gimmick to create a work that is unique, real and perfect enough to surprise everyone's attention.
The technical police also found out the deleted browsing records from the computer and found that Meng Xiaoyang had checked the human body map before his death, which also coincided with the seven precise and deliberate wounds on his body.
The puzzles and confusion of the case seem to have been answered at this moment.
The case was reinstated.
The question of the key was answered, Meng Xiaoyang deliberately locked the key outside the door, which was verified to be okay, inserted the key outside the door, and then locked the door in the door, from the outside, it looked like someone had locked it from the outside. Then find a way to leave the fingerprints of the delivery person and mislead the police into continuing to hunt down the non-existent criminal.
How you can do it in your own blood and write the words in blood can also be explained. That is, first stab yourself and slowly write the words in blood. Then he stabbed six times in key positions, disguised as being stabbed seven times in a row by the murderer. After all, no one would think that a person who has been stabbed seven times has the ability to write a line of blood.
And with only one stab, it is possible to do it.
As for how to deliberately stab six more times in the position he designed, it can only be attributed to a miracle. In reality, the absurd things are even more outrageous, and this explanation seems reasonable.
The case is completely clear.
Zhang Yichi and Mo Tu played the role of the deceased Meng Xiaoyang and the last contact delivery person respectively, and conducted a re-enactment of the case based on the existing information.
At 7:15, the delivery man played by Mo Tu knocked on the door to deliver the food, and Meng Xiaoyang, played by Zhang Yichi, took the meal. Unpredictably leaving, Zhang Yichi inserted the key that he had managed to get the fingerprints of the delivery man in advance outside the door, and then closed the door for reverse locking, creating the illusion that the door was locked by someone outside.
Then he began to eat the last meal of his life.
After eating, he stabbed himself and wrote provocative words from the perspective of a non-existent murderer on the wall of the living room stained with blood.
After the blood words were written, he stabbed himself six times with amazing willpower, making others mistakenly think that he had been stabbed seven times at the same time, and died of excessive blood loss, which also completely eliminated the suspicion that others had written the blood words by himself.
Everything looked perfect.
Everyone in the task force cheered that the case was about to be solved.
It turned out that this case, which made everyone nervous, was caused by the deceased himself.
It was just a suicide.
