Chapter 68: The Chamber of Secrets
Hanse's question was completely understandable, and he knew that no matter how stupid his Thai counterpart was, it was impossible not to study the murder weapon. Having worked under Martin for a short time, he felt that there was only one thing that Martin found instructive—and that was that the evidence could speak. In addition to this, Martin is a typical corpse vegetarian meal in Hanser's eyes, a European rice worm.
Hanser hoped that he would inspire the local police to improve their business capabilities as soon as possible in the short term—the raw materials of the special knives, that is, the iron and nickel, could not have been smelted by the people who made the knives themselves, and it must have its source. This kind of special blade is generally played by people who belong to the level of masters or enthusiasts. So find the source of the material, Shen Teng touched the melon - I believe that it can open a breakthrough.
But to Hanser's surprise, his Thai counterpart was neither stupid nor lazy. Instead, the brain circuits of case-handling personnel in the East and the West are very different - the West talks about the chain of evidence, and the East talks about the chain of human feelings. So although Director Yu and Huang Youhuan have been smiling, they are not very convinced in their hearts. I don't know the core interests behind the case, let alone read the crime research textbook of the Higher Police University.
In fact, the Thai side still has a little bit of its own, that is, we must see that the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake. In any case, the mission and mission of the Europeans this time must be disrupted. Otherwise, how will I mix in the future, and how will I communicate with my domestic and international counterparts? Of course, now is not the time to get started, the time - there is always time, the time is on the side of the Royal Thai Police, and the Pope is on the side of the Europeans - but how many divisions does the Pope have?
We Hanser are also masters of reading words and feelings, and he knows some of the dynamics of Thai thinking. He privately reminded his companions repeatedly not to trust the Thai too much, not to trust intuition too much, to believe in the evidence, to believe in the evidence, to believe in the logic.
Therefore, he ordered all the personnel of the Thai side to withdraw from the scene, that is, room 8826, and then took Matthew, an expert in physical evidence, and Newman, an expert in gunshots, and others to search on their own. Hanser thought that there might still be traces of shooting, maybe poisoning, but he didn't draw conclusions for the time being, and let the evidence speak.
However, it is a pity that Hanser and the others have been examining for more than three hours, but they still have not found any valuable clues. Seeing that such a small case was about to become a strange case, Hanser and others decided to immediately hold a meeting in the hotel conference room - first the Europeans themselves held a closed-door meeting, and then an enlarged meeting to convey it to the Thai side.
At the meeting, Matthew had simulated the whole process of stabbing to death by computer according to the on-site photos provided by the Thai side, starting from the two people entering the room with Fan Bing, which was clear in the hotel surveillance. Then they simulated about three or four kinds of processes in the room - some of them threw Fan Bing directly on the bed; Some helped him to sit down and then put him on the bed; Others were first thrown on the ground and then carried to the bed. It turned out that at this time, there was no possibility for anyone to stab Fan Bing to death - the piercing angle was wrong, where should the weapon hide? Wait a minute.
So he moved on to the next link, that is, after the two kings left the room. According to them, in order to prevent suffocation or other accidents in the drunk, according to their experience, they do not close the door - sometimes in the dark, sometimes in the open.
After careful scrutiny of this point, the Europeans thought that there was nothing wrong, if it was the second king or their accomplices, there was no need to open the door to increase their risk, so they ruled out the suspicion of the second king, if the second king was not suspected, then the barkeeper Nguyen Thi Gui was naturally ruled out.
Now the focus is on Lin Mu going upstairs to enter the room and the process of him leaving the room after the second king left. There is no doubt that the assassination took place at this stage. This is universally recognized.
Europeans had a heated debate about whether Lin Mu had a motive for committing the crime and when it was committed. Chief Medical Examiner Thompson insisted that the college student was innocent. Because it is impossible to explain where he got the murder weapon, and without the murder weapon, the murder naturally cannot be established; Newman, on the other hand, insisted that college students were the most suspicious. This is because according to the surveillance, no one entered the room during the process of entering and leaving the room, which is confirmed from the surveillance records at the time. Both the doors and the windows were monitored, and they repeatedly confirmed that they had not been tampered with.
