Ninety-five The real culprit behind it
When Han Daring was surveying upstairs again, he had already found the disappeared knight's armor by using the clues he got in the kitchen!
While he was showing it to everyone, everyone followed his hand and looked at Lao Cai, who walked down from the second floor. At this time, Lao Cai walked to the center of the hall with a hanger in one hand, a bulging long black coat hanging on the hanger, and a large top hat in the other.
Han Daring walked over, and while untying his coat from the hanger, he turned his top hat upside down, only to see that the coat was reversed, and inside was a silver knight's armor, and the hand armor, leg armor, and waist armor were all shrunk into the breastplate. It's just that everyone is very strange, why the heavy armor Lao Cai can carry it with one hand.
Han Da'er held the armor with both hands, and with a little force, the silver armor was deflated in an instant. It turned out to be just a paper shell with a layer of tin foil for baking cakes!
Han Daring shook the oversized top hat again, and with a thud, the knight's helmet fell out of it. He flipped the armor-wrapped coat over the inside of the coat, revealing the original velvet burqa on the outside of the armor, which turned out to be a dress that could be worn on both sides.
Han Daring said:
"Only the helmet of this armor is real, and the cuirass is just a tray for chatting and talking, and it is completely invisible in the burqa. The rest of the hand armor, leg armor, waist guards, and other parts are all made of paper shells, and the outside is framed with a layer of tin foil to bake cakes. This tin foil is available in the kitchen. Because the craftsmanship of the makers is so exquisite, even the scratches on those armors are exactly the same, so it is really difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye without touching them! ”
He threw the "breastplate" of the armor, the metal tray, on the ground, with a clang, and continued:
"This armor is placed on the inside of the display case so that people don't touch the rest of the armor. The part that I could touch, I had struck with my hand, and it made a metallic sound. For there was only the helmet and the cuirass, but those two parts were indeed metal. So at that time, after the waitress Lin Qing went upstairs, she just quickly moved out the very light paper armor, and then flattened the hands, feet and waist armor, stuffed it into the breastplate, and then covered it with a reverse burqa, the inside of the burqa was already black, and after the cover, it was like a long coat, hanging in the coat mixed in the cloakroom with a hanger, which was difficult to notice. ”
Han Daring picked up the helmet, compared it with his head, and said:
"This armor was originally just a fake display, and the helmet didn't look like it, but in fact adults couldn't wear it at all! That's why it's stuffed into a large top hat, placed in a hat box, and placed in the cloakroom. ”
Han Dada'er briefly sorted out the case and told it to everyone.
Lenny disguised himself as George Brown and sent out invitations to create a type of exhibition, in fact, he wanted everyone to be a witness to the murder! Then at the exhibition, the one-man show of murder in the secret room, but the murderer and the corpse disappeared. These have nothing to do with the revenge of the Yellow Lotus Holy Mother's soul, attached to the armor, and any headless horseman.
The count's maid was also provoked and manipulated, mistakenly believing that George Brown was his mother-killing enemy, so he cooperated with Lenny, hid the tin foil armor behind everyone, and then slipped out of the back door of the kitchen at the appointed time and set fire to the tree in the courtyard. With Lin Qing's skills, he slipped out quietly and could do it completely.
Since the rain had just ended, the trees were damp and did not use accelerants, so there was no black locust at all. This was something they didn't expect outside of their plan, but Han Daring was in the fire and couldn't smell kerosene or gasoline at all, so they must have used a special accelerant at that time. They must have used this recipe to set the soggy black locust on fire.
At that time, it was already dark, and there were no lights on in the courtyard, so operating in the courtyard in the dark would not attract people's attention at all, and the black locust was not close to the Red Fort mansion, so there was no abnormal sound. After that, Lin Qing hid in the yard, put the head of George Brown prepared in advance, and hung it on the tree with a steel wire. Just throw it up, hang the branch, and secure the other end to the school
This is mainly to let everyone confirm that George Brown is really dead, because it is winter, as long as the head is wrapped and buried in the yard, it will not rot for four or five, which is the fake George Brown, that is, the policeman Lenny, buried in the courtyard in advance.
The main purpose of setting fire to the tree was to attract the police to inspect it and then find the human head hanging from the tree. The head is hanging very high, and when it is found, it is of course impossible to take off the head, and the head is also drenched with accelerant, and when it is burned by the fire, it will be even more dead without proof.
But because Lin Qing aroused the suspicion of the police and Han Da'er, there was a later scene, Lin Qing, who was engulfed in hatred and used by others, finally died in the Red Fort. In fact, he never knew who the person who made the plan and secretly manipulated it was.
At this point, the Frenchman told Pierre:
"Then now that both of them are dead, the waitress has been killed, and Lenny has also died in an accident, so it's like a cocoon!"
Han Dada'er said:
"Nope! Lenny's death was not an accident, it was murdered! The person who killed him is the culprit of this case who is hiding in the dark and manipulating everything! ”
Everyone asked in amazement, almost in unison,
"The culprit is the culprit?"
Karl Dow:
"Lenny isn't the culprit? Didn't he buy the insurance in George Brown's name, and the beneficiary wrote himself, and then cheated the insurance to death? ”
Han Daring said:
"Then all you need to do is kill George Brown, so why put on this show! In fact, the murderer has already been exposed, and Lenny wants to complete the trick of getting out of the secret room, and there is a key person in it, and only this person can make this trick succeed! This man is you! ”
Han Daring's hand pointed to a person in the crowd, this person should have spoken, but he has been silent, this person is the "Martin G Foxx" inspector of the Ministry of Industry!
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, everyone was stunned on the spot, the guests around him were all on the sidelines, and even the British policeman he brought with him looked at him with suspicious eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief, as if he was listening to a strange night.
Martin is a veteran policeman who has served in the British police for more than ten years, and has been serving as a police officer in the Ministry of Industry for many years.
At this time, the British policemen brought by Martin, after a little hesitation, finally broke out, and some shouted:
"Scam! It's all a scam! It's all made up by this Chinese! ”
Others shouted:
"Arrest him! The murderer must be him! ”
Some directly took out the handcuffs and walked towards Han Daring, shouting in their mouths:
"You're the biggest suspect! To dare to slander our leaders is to show contempt for the judicial system of the British Empire! ”
Han Daring stood in place, neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were like electricity, and he approached Martin. As long as the British police dare to come nonsense, he will immediately take down them! For Han Daring, it's no problem to put down a few British policemen!
Not only did he make a move, Zhao Jingsheng only had one look, and Chen Jiu, the big man beside him, rushed to the center of the hall, smashed a floor tile with one foot, and put on a posture of facing the enemy. Just by lifting his feet, he can smash the floor tiles, as if as long as the police dare to act rashly, they will be immediately torn apart by this tower-like man!
Zhao Jingsheng said lightly:
"Aren't you the most law-oriented in England? Don't you want to know the truth of the matter? ”
The British policemen were hindered by the mighty big man Chen Jiu in front of them, and they had seen Han Dada'er and Lin Qing's skills when they fought each other, but in fact, they were just pretending to threaten, and they didn't dare to really come forward to arrest people. However, these policemen are not really afraid of Chen Jiuhan and them, after all, the police have guns in hand, when Gengzi changed the country, hundreds of thousands of Boxers who pretended to be gods and ghosts were all beaten away by their firearms, with their conceited character, would they be afraid of these Chinese in front of them!
In fact, after listening to Han Dada'er's reasoning on the case just now, these British policemen have already been completely convinced in their hearts, but the rigid and dogmatic character of the British makes it difficult for them to let go of the status of the children of the empire on which the sun never sets. Even if I have completely believed the reasoning just now, that is, the truth of the case, on the surface, I still have to fight for reason and reason with a superior identity.
There were only one or two British policemen present, and they didn't care about the truth at all, but felt that the Chinese policeman in front of them was very arrogant and rude, and they were very unconvinced. The other policemen actually wanted to know what the truth of the case was, but because of the identity of the police, they had to maintain the dignity of their superiors and the British police, which was what they did just now.
After Zhao Jingsheng's words were finished, Mills took the lead in making the following moves, and the other policemen gradually fell silent. The atmosphere of tension eased a little, and Han Daring said:
"Officer Martin, don't you want to confess yourself?"
Martin was still very calm, lit a cigarette and paused before saying:
"I haven't spoken, I just want to listen to your beard! If Lenny escaped from the basement among the officers who went to investigate in the basement, it may have been my negligence, but you may have forgotten that Lenny was stabbed to death by a large sword hanging from the wall, and before we went to the fire, we looked back at the corridor on the second floor of the Red Keep, and the great sword was still hanging from the wall! Later, Mills and I found out that Lenny, who was accidentally stabbed to death by a sword! ”
Han Da'er shook his head and said:
"Nope! Wrong! Lenny was already dead, and when we went to the fire together, he was already dead, and the only person who saw his figure swaying on the second floor was you! It is true that the great sword was hung on the wall at that time, but when I knew that the armor was made of tin foil, I understood that the bright sword that I saw in the window on the way to the fire was also made of tin foil and cardboard! ”
Han Daring took a few steps forward, looked at Martin with his eyes, and continued:
"After everyone went down to the first floor, you were the last one to leave, you were patrolling the second floor, and you arranged for Lenny to stand guard, but in fact, you stabbed Lenny to death from behind with a short knife or something, and then hid it in the Roman column under the display case, and the real iron greatsword pierced the wound of the short knife, and ran diagonally up and down through his body. Lenny's wound pierced by the blade had a branch, as if it had been mended in a vertical stroke. Because you didn't align the short knife wound when you stabbed it with your big sword, it formed an overlapping wound! ”
Han Da'er continued:
Then you take out a box of cigarettes and throw them on the ground, and you take everything from Lenny's pocket, fearing that there will be any evidence left on him, except for the pack of English cigarettes. When I secretly examined Lenny's body, I wondered why Lenny had nothing on him except for the box of cigarettes, not even his wallet, which was so unusual. ”
"And you have another flaw, which is that cigarette roll. According to your arrangement, the cigarette roll fell to the ground, and when Lenny leaned over to pick up the cigarette, he accidentally stabbed him to death when the big sword fell, so it should have been the cigarette roll that fell first, and Lenny had not been stabbed at that time, so there should be no blood stains on the cigarette. But in fact, there was a trace of blood on the cigarette roll. Could it be that Lenny splashed up when he was stabbed? Of course not, the blood is not a splash! That's where Lenny's blood sticks? But the cigarette fell some distance from where Lenny was stabbed, and the blood didn't reach the spot where the cigarette rolled off! But why is there a trace of blood on that cigarette roll? Because at that time, after you stabbed Lenny to death, you accidentally got it when you faked the scene! ”
Martin changed his usual serious expression and smiled slightly:
"Stop! If I really killed Lenny early in the morning, so that you could see the big sword hanging on the second floor, so I got a fake one on it, then Mills, who went upstairs with me, would have noticed it a long time ago! ”
Han Daring said:
"You can ask Mills about this!"
He looked at Mills and asked:
"Officer Mills, where did you see Lenny's body?"
Mills Road:
"Staircase!"
Han Daring said:
"Didn't you go up the hallway on the second floor?"
Mills shook his head and said:
"Nope! When the boss and I saw Lenny on the ground with a sword stuck in his body, the boss told me to hurry up and grab the first aid kit and call for someone to come up, and I turned around and went downstairs! ”
Han Daring said:
"Hear me! Mills didn't even make it to the second-floor hallway, I think the fake greatsword was still hanging on the wall! Mills, who was standing at the top of the stairs, couldn't see the position of the hanging greatsword at all. He had to go up to the second floor and turn around to see there! Mills turns and goes downstairs, and you immediately go upstairs and reach out to take the fake greatsword. The pins of the hanging sword are loose, just inserted into it, and when you take off the tin foil cardboard sword, as long as you pull it slightly, the dowels will fall off! ”
Martin suddenly frowned slightly, and swallowed his saliva lightly, but the strange expression on his face was slightly fleeting, and no one else except Han Da'er noticed it.
Han Daring said:
"You didn't have time to deal with that greatsword at the time, and then someone was always around, so I'm sure it's still in your coat pocket! The notepad you carried with you was originally in the pocket of your coat, but just now I saw you put the notebook in the inner pocket of your arms, why? Because you have a tin foil sword torn into your coat pocket! This is the ironclad proof that crucified you! ”
Martin frowned, stared at Han Da'er, and didn't say a word!
Han Da'er was not afraid at all, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, he looked at Martin deadly, and said aloud:
"If you want to prove your whiteness, turn your coat pockets out for everyone to see!"
Martin laughed instead, took out a few pieces of shredded cardboard tin foil from his pocket, threw them on the ground, and said casually:
"This is just something I picked up earlier, and I thought it was important physical evidence, so I secretly kept it! You and I killed Lenny, what about the motive? Lenny disguised himself as George Brown and then faked his fake death for profit, what do I get by killing him? ”
Han Dada'er said sonorously and forcefully:
"Of course you have a motive! All you do is not to kill Lenny, but to kill yourself! ”
