Chapter 35: Killing in the Dark (1)
As the case continued to be investigated, it was gradually discovered that except for Tan Wan and Han Beiya, the rest of the people had some disputes and ties with the deceased.
The popular suspense writer Xie Mowen participated in the conjuring ceremony of Cuban Yang for the first time last year, and once debunked Cubayan's use of props to render a strange atmosphere on the spot after the ceremony, and threatened to make the matter public.
Later, Cuban Jan gave the writer a large amount of hush money and urged him to cooperate with her in the Uncle's mansion.
Xie Mowen said that he helped the psychic medium so that his novel could become popular, which was only one of the points, and more was to take money from Cuban Yang to help her complete the 'performance' in the subsequent ceremony.
After hearing Li Dongliao say that he had received money from the spirit medium, Xie Mowen's face was instantly a little annoyed: "I didn't take her money!" ”
He clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned on the sofa in the mansion and crossed Erlang's legs, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.
"This woman is a charlatan, before she came, she said that she would transfer money to me after the morning ceremony in the Bo Mansion, but when it came to the point, she said that she would transfer later, and I didn't think she planned to pay at all."
Tan Wan heard the conversation between Li Dongliao and Xie Mowen, and remembered that he saw the psychic assistant in Xie Mowen's room at noon.
No wonder, they were talking about it at the time.
Li Dongliao's face did not change, and he pressed step by step: "So you think that you were tricked by the deceased, and you killed her in anger, right?" ”
Xie Mowen's face was stunned for a second, and he hurriedly retorted: "Mr. Officer, you speak carefully, I haven't killed anyone." ”
"You said you wrote suspense novels, and I've read your books." Li Dongliao found his works from his mobile phone, "It's all about reasoning to solve cases, you should know a lot about murder methods, right?" ”
"I understand, but ......" Xie Mowen was speechless, he pointed to the others, "Then I have tens of thousands of readers and fans, and they are all familiar with the methods of killing, did they also kill people?" ”
"Mr. Xie, don't get excited, I'm just asking as usual." After Li Dongliao sighed, his eyes looked in the direction of Tan Wan.
In the past, this kind of on-site interrogation work was responsible for Tan Wan, and he was by her side to record and record the details of the interrogation, for fear of encountering a suspect who was emotionally hot, and he was really afraid of something.
However, the team was also involved in this case, and in order to avoid suspicion, she had no way to intervene in the investigation.
Li Dongliao now feels that he is one head and two years old, and he continues to investigate the case head-on.
"Can you recall what you were doing when the deceased fell?"
"The light bulb suddenly dimmed, and I thought it was part of the ritual design, so I sat quietly in my chair and didn't move." Xie Mowen shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Based on the situation at that time, no one should leave the chair~"
Li Dongliao didn't understand: "Why? ”
"Because the spirit medium said, in order to prevent accidents during the ceremony, you can't make noise or leave your position halfway, let alone touch the spirit medium's body, we all know that it is a spirit possession, in case you violate the taboo and get on the ghost, it's bad."
Xie Mowen pointed to Luo Xin who was standing in the corner, "If you don't believe him, you can ask him, he is the assistant of the spirit matchmaker." ”
Li Dongliao asked again: "But Mr. Xie, do you believe in the statement that the ghost is on the body after you know that all this is false?" ”
"I knew it was fake." Xie Mowen cast his gaze in the direction of Tan Wan and said thoughtfully, "But after that young lady saw the ghost, I can't tell if it really attracted the ghost." ”
Li Dongliao followed Xie Mowen's gaze and looked at Tan Wan, with a shocked expression: "What, you still see ghosts?" True or fake? ”
"I saw Shen Ru running in front of me." Tan Wan explained calmly and unhurriedly.
Before he finished speaking, he was interjected by Xie Mowen: "It's not just Miss Tan who saw the ghost, even Old Man Shen saw it, oh no, he heard it, he heard his daughter's voice!" ”
As soon as he said this, Xie Mowen recalled the situation at that time, and once again felt creepy.
Xie Mowen's eyes widened, and he danced and expressed his thoughts: "Mr. Officer, it may be a hallucination when one person sees a ghost, it is impossible for two people to hallucinate at the same time, right?" This probability is too low! ”
It's really strange that Tan Wan sensed that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that even if hallucinations occur, they usually only appear in people who are mentally weak and easily shaken.
Old Man Shen misses his beloved daughter, and has a lot of trust in the spirit medium, and during the soul conjuring ceremony, he hallucinates when he is sick, and he thinks that it is possible for the spirit medium to recall his daughter's unjust soul.
But Tan Wan didn't believe it the most, she had already seen through the deception of the spirit medium, why did she still see it......
Suddenly, something suddenly occurred to her: "...... Could it be that cup, there is something wrong with the exorcism water? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Mowen immediately understood what she meant, and said incredulously: "You don't want to say that the crazy woman is drugged in that cup, right?" ”
"It's not impossible." She immediately looked at her assistant Luo Xin, "What did you add to that glass of water?" ”
Because of the death of the spirit medium, Luo Xin's spirit has been on the verge of collapse.
At this time, the son was about to be questioned by the police again, and even his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
But he didn't dare to lie, the current situation could only be said.
"That's it...... It's just a little hallucinogen...... After drinking, you will see some hallucinations, which vary from person to person......" Luo Xin's voice became smaller and smaller, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly added, "But it won't poison people, and the dose is also very low." ”
It is a hallucinogenic ingredient extracted from flowers, and it has a fast onset of action and a short duration of time.
This feature is very much in line with the requirements of the medium, without the need to design any props, the guests can see unrealistic supernatural events, and after the guests 'see is believing', they will be convinced of the spirit medium's spiritualist ritual.
Li Dongliao sent the cup back to the police station for testing, and as Luo Xin said, a small amount of hallucinogens were detected in the remaining liquid at the bottom of the cup, proving that he was not lying.
So far, although Xie Mowen has not cleared up his suspicions, the confession is almost complete.
The next one is Old Man Shen, after investigation, Shen Zhiren and the spirit medium knew each other as early as two and a half years ago.
Shen Zhiren is interested in antiques and artworks, especially those with stories and souls, and he believes that these things have aura and can bless his family and help his career.
There are many big bosses in the antique circle who believe in these, and through the layers of relationships inside, someone introduced Cuban Yang to Shen Zhiren.
said that Cuban Yang is very good at fortune-telling and soul summoning, and this woman can calculate the disaster on her body by pinching her fingers, and she can resolve it with just a small amount of money.
But the first thing Cubayang said when he saw Shen Zhiren was: "Your family will have a big disaster." ”
