Three hundred and thirty wire slingshots
Han Daring said:
"In fact, Lu Zhengxiong was not beheaded by a knife and died, I checked the corpse and found that Lu Zhengxiong's head was cut off with a knife, and the wound on the neck, in some places, there is a phenomenon of skin and flesh rolling, and there are some wavy wounds, not like sharp knives and sharp swords, scars left by hard chopping.
You must know that at that time in the former Qing Dynasty, the ghost head knives used to kill heads were very sharp and heavy, but some powerful executioners could do it, the knife did not fall to the ground, and the edge of the knife edge was extremely smooth!
If Lu Zhengxiong's head was really cut off by a sword, then this person's arm strength must be enough, and the knife must be fast enough to cut off the head with a knife.
Unless Lu Zhengxiong's wound was swept horizontally from the neck by a very thin steel wire to tell that his neck was cut off, because the steel wire relied on a strong momentum, it would look very sharp when it was peeled like skin and flesh, but as the force of cutting the neck gradually weakened, the sharpness of the steel wire was much worse, so it would cause the knife edge to be smooth at the knife entry point, and the middle section began to reach the knife place, showing a wavy wound, and it also caused the skin and flesh to roll! ”
Han Daring said that what killed Lu Zhengxiong was a slingshot string mechanism, and everyone was about to hear him say it, but he suddenly said that the knife on Lu Zhengxiong's neck was not a sword wound, but a scar from the steel wire, so everyone was puzzled and wanted to ask.
There was only Xu Lingfeng in the crowd, his face became more and more gloomy, at this time, there were already four or five French patrols standing behind him, which was quietly arranged by Porpo, although he did not open the handcuffs in Xie An's hands, but in his heart he began to believe Han Da'er's reasoning, after hearing him say that Xu Lingfeng was the murderer, he let the patrolman stare behind him to prevent him from escaping!
Han Daring pointed to the ceiling and said:
"That slingshot string trap is set up on the ceiling! ……”
As he spoke, he pointed to the upper and left corners of the back wall of the auction table, and continued:
Xu Lingfeng participated in the design of the renovation of the auction hall, so he deliberately left two iron pipes in the corner of the wall for connecting wires in series. These two short iron pipes are embedded in the wall and lead to the password door storage room at the back of the auction room!
Just thread a very thin steel wire into the two iron pipes, and then lock the wire at the end, like a wire around the partition wall of the auction hall and the storage room! The wall of the auction table has a low angle of wires on both sides, and is covered by the edge of the light pool that protrudes above the auction table. And because the bright light in the room only reaches the front of the auction table, the wire position is hidden in the dark and coincides with the wire, so it is difficult to detect.
Then, in the middle of the end of the auction table, use a long steel wire to pull this wire up. From the top of the arrow-shaped tube lights in the auction hall, it is tightened towards the center of the two doors of the auction hall!
The steel wire is gradually pulled into the shape of a slingshot string that is pulled apart, and the corners at the end of the auction table are the two slingshots, and the tightened ends are like human hands pulling the position of the slingshot string.
After that, fix it in the bow position, hook the separate steel wire in the middle of the wire, and pass through the wire pipe on the roof, which is the iron pipe used to route the light curtain wall tube light outside the hall. After passing through the iron pipe, the wire is hidden behind the light curtain wall and leads directly under the floor.
This place was originally rebuilt from the Earth Hall, and when I walked on it, I felt that there was some emptiness under the floor, and it should have retained the side channel grooves on both sides of the Earth Hall fairway. The wire goes through a groove all the way from under the outer wall of the auction hall through the auction hall to the bottom of the auction table! ”
Saying that, Han Daring moved away from the very narrow auction table on the auction table, and there was an auction hammer on the table. I saw that there was a small hole in the bottom of the auction table but no nails, and the front end of the table was slightly upturned.
Han Daring said:
"The steel wire was tightened here, and finally fixed here by a fixed object such as a dowel, and at the moment when the lights went out, Xu Lingfeng picked up the fixed object with his feet and let the fixed steel wire fall off!
At the moment when the lights went out, I clearly felt that there was a rapid vibration under the middle floor, and I believe that it was the effect of the steel wire rebounding after loosening the wire! Maybe someone else feels it too! ”
At this time, Zhang Xi said:
"That's right! That's right! I felt a twitch on the floor under my feet, and I thought it was an earthquake! So that's it! ”
Han Daring said:
"When the wire is loosened, the tube light in the middle of the light curtain wall is broken, and then the iron pipe that runs the line above the light curtain wall passes through, so that the wire that has been drawn into a slingshot string will loosen and rebound.
Because according to my calculations, the difference between the roofs at both ends of the auction hall, coupled with Lu Zhengxiong's unusual height, will be slashed off by the rebound steel wire!
In addition, in the middle of the wire, the wire used for pulling the string also flew to the stage along with the rebounded wire. But the wire was not controlled, so it not only left a scar on the back chair, but also hit the back of Gao Jinghui's neck, causing a wound! ”
Gao Jinghui learned at this time that the wound on the back of his neck actually came from this, and he couldn't help but stare at Xu Lingfeng not far away with annoyance.
At this time, Xu Lingfeng, who had never asked for it, suddenly said:
"I was standing on the stage at that time, and if it was really like what you said, wouldn't I be afraid of being beheaded by a tightrope? If there was a slight error in the calculations, I would probably die on stage too! ”
Han Daring said:
"It's been calculated by you, and besides, when the lights go out, you can crouch down and not attract attention at all! And you'll have to crouch down to deal with the pins that hold the wires in place! ”
Xu Lingfeng crossed his arms, his expression was very calm, without a trace of panic, and said lightly:
"If it was like you said, that wire should still be hanging on the wall behind the auction table, but there is no wire on the wall now!
And there's a key problem!
How can I make sure that Lu Zhengxiong has been standing on the stage without moving, if Lu Zhengxiong is not on the stage and gets off the stage after the lights are turned off, then the tightrope will not be able to cut him at all! ”
He changed his previous serious face and looked at Han Da'er with a smile.
The atmosphere in the auction hall was extremely tense, and everyone was full of doubts, some people felt that Han Dada'er was reasonable, and some people felt that Xu Lingfeng's rebuttal was well-founded, but everyone didn't say a word, and listened to the argument between the two with bated breath. The hall was silent, as if a needle could be heard on the ground.
Han Daring stretched out his hand and pointed to the knight's armor at the end of the auction table, which was much smaller, and said:
"Although the armoured hand was one size smaller, the long-handled battle axe he held in his hand was large, and it was a real thing, very sharp, but it was heavy and difficult for ordinary people to wield.
After the steel wire cuts off Lu Zhengxiong's head, it will directly hit the knight's armor hand, and the axe blade is facing outward, and it will be directly cut off by the sharp tomahawk!
You have some thin wires tied to the wires at the corners of the walls on both sides of the wall early in the morning, leaving them in an inconspicuous position on the auction table. After the wire is cut!
You quickly wound the severed wire according to that thin wire. The wire was originally a loop, but after a single cut, it becomes a single strip, and you can easily find it and recycle it!
I don't know if you have noticed, but the auctioneer was wearing white gloves on his hands before! But when the lights came on, I chased the bandit before leaving, only to see that his gloves were gone! ”
Everyone present had a memory, and many people remembered that Xu Lingfeng was indeed wearing gloves before the lights went out, but the gloves were gone after the lights went out, but few people paid attention to when his gloves were gone!
Han Daring said again:
He rolled up the wire, and there was blood on the wire, and naturally the gloves were also stained with blood, so he simply rolled the wire in the glove, so that he could not only wipe the blood off the wire, but also not let people notice that he had blood on his hands!
As for what you said about why Lu Zhengxiong stayed on the stage after the lights went out, in fact, after I came back, I checked Lu Zhengxiong's corpse and found that the location of his death was different from the position where he stood before the lights went out, and it was close to the auction table, and there was a square table with a black jade statue! I also found the cigarette ash of Lu Zhengxiong's cigar in his mouth on that square table, which means that Lu Zhengxiong must have been close to the square table at that time and had stood at the table.
Not only that, but even the position of the black jade Buddha on the square table has changed......"
Xu Lingfeng's eyes suddenly changed slightly, it was a trace of vacillation, a trace of fear that the treacherous plot would be exposed.
Han Da'er continued:
"Some people say that the black jade statue moved by itself, because the supernatural legend of the black jade statue makes people believe that it was the curse of the black jade statue that killed Lu Zhengxiong!
Actually, please take a look at this black jade statue again......"
After listening to Han Da'er's words, everyone stepped forward curiously and carefully examined the statue. Those present were either antiques or collectors, and the treasure connoisseurs were caught off guard by the sudden murder, and no one had ever looked at the statue carefully.
At this time, when I looked at the statue, I felt that something was wrong. Because this is not the statue that was put up for auction at the beginning, whether it is jade pulp or chisel gold process, it is slightly rougher than the previous one, if it is from the perspective of ordinary people, it may not be any different, but these are experts in front of them, at this time, it seems that this statue is simply a high-quality imitation of Xibei goods!
Han Daring said:
"Just now, I also asked Mr. Yan Zhiyi to take a look at it first, this statue is fake, why does the statue become fake after the lights go out?"
His eyes were like swords, staring at Xu Lingfeng. And then he said:
"I found a very hidden inner pocket inside Lu Zhengxiong's wide coat. I've always wondered why a strong man like Lu Zhengxiong still wears such a long coat now that the weather is getting hotter.
That's because Lu Zhengxiong didn't want to sell the real black jade statue at all! He took advantage of the darkness to plan to change the statue!
He knew that after the appraisal of the Durand auction house, the black jade statue was recognized as genuine, and all the buyers who participated in the auction would be convinced by the auction house's professional appraisal, so he wanted to transfer the genuine product when the lights went out! ”
When everyone heard what Han Dada'er said, they were all shocked.
Zhang Xi asked puzzledly:
"Why did Lu Zhengxiong know that there would be an accident of lights out at the auction, and prepare in advance? Did he wear that fake black jade statue all along? ”
Han Daring said:
"Naturally, he can't rely on him alone, this is planned by Xu Lingfeng, the auctioneer who discussed the plan with him, Xu Lingfeng arranged for the painter Lynch to cut off the power in the underground power distribution room, so of course Lu Zhengxiong knew early on that there would be a lights-out accident at the auction!
At this time, Xu Lingfeng was sure that Lu Zhengxiong would definitely stay on the auction table after the lights went out, so Lu Zhengxiong walked over and put the fake black jade statue on the table, and at this time, the ash of the cigar in his mouth also fell on the table. When he was about to put the real black jade statue into his inner pocket, the tightrope arrived!
Before he could touch the real thing, his head was cut off, and the real black jade statue was put away by Xu Lingfeng, and the fake black jade statue was placed in a different position than the real one, which made people feel that the black jade statue moved by itself! ”
Burroughs suddenly jumped out and said:
"Impossible! I, Durand Auction House, never do this kind of thing, although I am quite convinced by your reasoning, Mr. Han, but I can't tolerate the slander of Durand Auction House! ”
Han Daring said:
"This is not slander! Guess why your treasure connoisseur, Mr. Xu Lingfeng, would agree to cooperate with Lu Zhengxiong?
Because Lu Zhengxiong held Xu Lingfeng and the painting dealer Lynch in his hands, he regarded the fake paintings of high imitation as the auction of real paintings! ”
The people in the hall were even more in an uproar, and then a foreigner said:
"No wonder there were rumors before that someone bought a painting of Siegel at an auction, and later thought that the painting was fake, and came back to the auction house to theorize!"
Burroughs' face changed for a moment, and he defended:
"It was just a misunderstanding, and then we reconciled with that buyer!"
Han Daring said:
"I don't know if you have heard of the caesarean section case that has been making a lot of noise in Jinmen recently......"
"Isn't that case closed?"
"Haven't you already caught the murderer?"
Everyone asked.
Han Daring said:
"That dealer was involved in this caesarean section, and in the course of my investigation, I found a person hired by Lynch to imitate Siegel and fake paintings, Yang Ming, who had been copying Siegel's paintings.
Because after counterfeiting, the most similar version will be taken to auction by Lynch! The authenticity of the painting This treasure connoisseur Xu Lingfeng naturally knows that the two of them conspire, as long as Xu Lingfeng identifies it as genuine, most people will think that it is genuine!
The news of the cooperation between the two was somehow known to Lu Zhengxiong, so he used this to blackmail Xu Lingfeng and help him transfer the real black jade statue at the auction, and then sell the fake statue!
Xu Lingfeng was threatened, at this time Bertrand wanted to host a small auction, and planned to fund the renovation of the western-style building, Xu Lingfeng took advantage of the opportunity to build an auction hall to guide the decoration opinions, in fact, it was to arrange his own killing mechanism!
Lu Zhengxiong was still at a loss that he would lose his head at the auction! ”
Burroughs argued:
"Maybe Xu Lingfeng didn't notice it for a while, and he didn't find that the painting was fake, and other things had nothing to do with him! This is a common occurrence in the world of antique collecting! ”
Xu Lingfeng suddenly said:
"After talking about it for a long time, it's actually all your inference, you have no evidence at all, where are the murderous wires, gloves and the so-called genuine black jade chisel gold statue of the big black sky now?"
Han Da'er said unhurriedly:
"Those evidences are right in front of everyone's eyes!"
