Wu Feng had a picture in his mind.

The night before, Vera and four suspects braved a snowstorm to come to Ivan's house from KTV.

Vera was killed after falling asleep, during which she struggled, leaving traces of struggle on the sheets.

The killer hid the body, and Vera's sheets, clothing, cell phone, and other personal belongings were disposed of.

After everything was dealt with, the killer took a sheet from the vacant room and spread it on Vera's bed.

As for the way Vera was killed, Wu Feng preferred Vera to suffocate to death rather than being poisoned by an overdose of sleeping pills or other drugs.

Because if she was poisoned by drugs, there would be no traces of Vera's resistance on the sheets, and the murderer would naturally not have to change the sheets.

If she dies of suffocation, whether she covers her mouth and nose or strangles her neck with something, Vera will resist before she dies, and scratches will naturally be left on the sheets.

For the time being, the possibility that Vera was stabbed to death with a sharp weapon can be ruled out, Wu Feng carefully inspected Vera's bed, and there was no blood stain left on the fabric of the mattress.

Wu Feng said his guess, and after Wang Xueqian and Natasha heard it, they also felt that Wu Feng's analysis was reasonable and there were no flaws.

"So what do we do next?" Wang Xueqian asked.

"At present, Vera's death process has been speculated, and the next step is to find out who the murderer is, what the tools of the crime are, what is the motive of the murderer, where the body is hidden, after these links are all clarified, a completed chain of evidence will be formed, and there will be no doubts and contradictions between the links, and the case can basically be closed." Wu Feng said.

"You've said so much, what the hell are we going to do next?" Wang Xueqian heard Wu Feng say a lot, and it sounded like the head, but she still didn't know what to do when she came down.

"We are currently seriously lacking in clues, so we will interrogate the suspects first and look for more clues based on their confessions." Wu Feng said.

"But the real murderer doesn't tell the truth, is the confession really useful?" Natasha said that she had already interrogated the suspect once yesterday and did not get any useful clues from the confession.

"As long as the six suspects do not collude in confessions, there must be contradictions in their confessions, and it is not easy to tell the lie seamlessly. Who is the deputy reviewer? I'll take notes. Wu Feng said.

"Officer Wang will be the presiding judge, and I will assist you." Natasha spoke before Wang Xueqian spoke, she had already interrogated it before, and she didn't know if she could ask for useful clues.

"It's still Natasha to be the presiding judge, I'm a guest, and I can't take the lead." Wang Xueqian kicked the ball back again, and she would not interrogate the suspect, and she didn't even know what questions to ask at the moment.

The two resigned to each other, and no one wanted to be the C position of the chief judge, and finally Wang Xueqian and Natasha looked at Wu Feng at the same time.

"Don't look at me, I'm not a police officer, I can't be the chief judge, the confession I asked has no legal effect, it's an invalid confession, and the judge won't accept it when it comes to court." Wu Feng shook his head, and then said, "I will list the questions, and you can just ask questions according to the script." ”

"Then I'm fine, I'll be the chief judge." Wang Xueqian said first.

"No, I'm going to be the chief judge too." Natasha didn't give in this time.

They were like two children who had their eyes on a toy at the same time.

They want to gain experience in interrogating suspects, and this is a good opportunity to practice.

Seeing that the two of them refused to give in to each other, Wu Feng had no choice but to prompt: "There are six suspects, and you can each preside over three." ”

This is called harmonious sharing, and Wu Feng feels the need to give Wang Xueqian and Natasha Amway this concept.

The second daughter did not object, and soon, the room, which lacked a sheet, was organized into a simple interrogation room.

It's a pity that there is no one-way mirror, otherwise Wu Feng can better observe the suspect's reaction behind the mirror.

Thea was the first to be arraigned, she was Vera's best friend and the closest person to Vera.

Wang Xueqian served as the chief judge, and after Natasha brought Seatta over, she sat down on Wang Xueqian's right, and Wu Feng sat on Wang Xueqian's left and pressed the recording button on her mobile phone.

Thea sat across from the three, her head bowed, a little nervous, a normal sign of her age.

"Name, age, gender." Wang Xueqian opened in a traditional way.

"Thea, 16 years old, female." Thea lowered her head and whispered.

Wu Feng raised her hand, Wang Xueqian understood, and she continued: "Raise your head." ”

It was a panicked face, with erratic eyes and blinking far more frequently than normal.

Wu Feng only glanced at it, and basically equated Thea with the murderer in his heart, Thea's expression was almost written on his face, "I am the murderer", he was very surprised how Natasha had made no progress on this case before, and he had to ask for help from above.

Wu Feng turned his head sideways, looked over Wang Xueqian's undulating mountains, and saw two higher peaks.

Natasha also looked over at this time, she caught the look of doubt on Wu Feng's face, and gave Wu Feng a look to continue listening.

Wang Xueqian looked at Wu Feng and Natasha looking at her eyebrows, as if she was offended, she straightened her chest and blocked the eye contact between the two with a mountain peak.

"Tell me what you did the night before yesterday after you checked into Ivan's house." Wang Xueqian glanced at the note handed over by Wu Feng and read it out as it was.

This kind of interrogation feels strange, Wang Xueqian feels like a manipulated puppet, and it is voluntary, and she can't resist.

"It was snowing heavily the night before, and when the five of us arrived at Ivan's house, it was already half past eleven, and the hotel was closed at that time, and the lights inside were dark, and we knocked on the door for a while, and the owner of Ivan's house came out to open the door."

"Brother's check-in."

"After washing, Vera, my brother and I went outside to build a snowman, and then Cousin Anna asked me to go back to accompany her, so I went back to my room first, and I stayed in a room with Cousin Anna that day."

"When I woke up the next day, I went to breakfast with my cousin, and my brother Alexander and Varian and the innkeeper Ivan were also present in the dining room, but Vera was not."

"I asked the others if they had seen Vera, and everyone said they hadn't, so I called Vera, but the phone couldn't get through, so I went to the room to look for her, and Vera wasn't in the room either."

"Cousin Anna thought that something might be wrong with Vera and proposed to call the police, but the innkeeper disagreed, saying that Vera might be in a hurry and had gone home alone, cousin Anna said that the road was closed by heavy snow at that time, and Vera could not leave alone, and insisted on calling the police, and then the police officer came, officer, can you help me find Vera?"

Thea's gaze looked at Natasha, and at this time her face was filled with tears, as if she was very sad.

Wu Feng found that when Xiya was telling this, the expression on her face slowly calmed down, and she spoke in a clear manner, not fast or slow, very calm, and when she first came in, she was almost like two people.

At this time, Wu Feng felt a gaze look at him, he turned his head sideways, and found that it was Natasha, who gestured to him with her eyes, as if to say that Thea could not be the murderer.

Indeed, judging from Thea's confession, she had an alibi throughout the whole process, and there was no time to kill and hide the body.

However, whether this alibi can be established or not, and whether she lied or not, still needs to be verified.

Evidence is always more powerful than confessions, confessions should not be trusted, and the reason why it is necessary to obtain a suspect's confession is that a false confession is sometimes meaningful.

The fact that some of the suspects are silent and refuse to cooperate speaks for itself.

Wu Feng thought that Thea was lying, because she was telling it so fluently just now, without any pause in memory and reflection, as if she was reciting a pre-written script.

But she is not a qualified actor.

If a suspect panics in her confession, there is a more than 60% chance that she is the murderer, which is like a counter-proof in a mathematical proof problem.

Wu Feng nodded and gestured to Natasha, understanding what Natasha wanted to express, but immediately a mountain peak shifted forward, blocking Wu Feng and Natasha from continuing eye contact.

After Xiya went out, after a short exchange between the three, Wang Xueqian agreed with Wu Feng's judgment.

Natasha and the two of them judged the opposite, and Wu Feng was very suspicious that Natasha was a model of big-chested and brainless.

However, criminal cases pay the most attention to evidence, and it is impossible to convict a suspect by analyzing and reasoning only based on the suspect's expression and state, because reasoning also needs evidence to verify the correctness of reasoning.

The role of reasoning lies in the fact that it can guide the direction of the investigation and guide the investigators to find more clues and evidence.
