Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Chess Match Goes Wrong

When you understand that you can't take back what you've said, you should know that you can't be too full of words no matter what you do. The next morning, another suicide appeared, and apparently, it wasn't in the two areas I had marked.

"Let's go, Floyd. Gu Chen patted me on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "It seems that sometimes psychology is not very reliable." ”

Guan Zengbin shrugged his shoulders and said: "The police at the police station still have no way to determine whether it was suicide or homicide, falling from the upper floor, it is difficult to tell whether it was homicide or suicide without carefully looking at the scene, so they want us to go over and have a look, and then talk about it." ”

I sighed and said, "What the book says is unreliable, and it's not necessarily now, isn't it clear whether it was suicide or homicide?"

When we arrived, the body was still lying on the ground, but covered with a white cloth. A cordon has been set up around the area, and outside is a large crowd of people holding mobile phones to take pictures. It took a lot of effort for us to squeeze through the crowd and reveal our identities, and we crossed the cordon.

A policeman came up to us and said, "The deceased's name is Ma Liliang, who was a real estate agent by profession, and he jumped from the building not long ago. But so far I don't know if someone pushed him down, I heard that you have been in charge of suicide cases recently, so I asked you to take a look. ”

"Let's go. The policeman pointed to a few passers-by who were making statements in the distance and said: "When Ma Li Liang jumped off the building, these are a few witnesses passing by, why don't you talk to them first?"

Guan Zengbin walked in the direction of the corpse and said to the policeman: "Don't worry, talk to him first." ”

"Who?" the policeman asked.

Guan Zengbin put the toolbox next to the corpse, and then uncovered the white cloth: "Of course, I talked to Ma Liang, the dead can tell us more than the living can tell us." ”

Before the white cloth was lifted, we could see the blood flowing outside. Viewed from the front, the blood splattered in a fan shape, and the farthest blood stain could be more than ten meters away. This is consistent with the blood stains formed by the fall from a height, and looking at the farthest distance of this 'shot', it is estimated that this height is not low.

I looked up at the neighborhood, the thirty-second floor. However, the windows of the upper floors are all upper entrance windows, and it should be impossible for an adult to jump from home, so it may only be possible to jump from the rooftop. But if you calculate, the height of the thirty-two floors makes me dizzy when I think about it.

Guan Zengbin lifted the white cloth, and the corpse came into our eyes.

At first glance, the corpse appears to be prone on its stomach, but the arm is badly deformed, and it appears that the bones inside have been broken. From his feet, he had shoes on one foot and none on the other. The ankle without shoes was also broken and deformed, and the bones pierced the muscle and flesh and were exposed.

As a whole, it looks like a crawling gecko.

The corpse's skull was badly shattered, the brain tissue was overflowing, and the flesh and blood were blurred, making it almost impossible to identify the person's appearance from the face. It seems that the police obtained this person's identity information from other channels, and this speed is quite fast.

Guan Zengbin's box was not opened, just seeing the condition of the corpse, he said: "The time of death is about less than an hour, judging from the situation of the corpse, it is indeed in line with the situation of a high fall." His limbs and skull contusions were in the same direction, and such fall injuries were difficult to artificially create. ”

"But it's hard to draw conclusions at the moment, I have to see if he has any other scars on his body, or whether there are any 'mystery' ~ 'medicine' ingredients in his blood, so as to judge whether he was thrown off the rooftop by someone who was 'stunned', or whether he has subjective consciousness. Guan Zengbin put the white cloth back on: "Bring the body away." ”

But it's easier said than done, the weather is hot now, the ground temperature can almost reach thirty or forty degrees, the whole body is glued to the ground, the police used a shovel to pry the body up, and the part of the body in contact with the ground has been liquefied, which shows the power of global warming......

"Let's go. I said, "Look what the people who witnessed everything have to say." ”

When Ma Liang stood on the thirty-second floor, no pedestrians noticed him. And when Ma Li Liang jumped down from the thirty-second floor, he shouted with all his might: "Be careful below, dodge." ”

When the words seemed to be circling in everyone's minds, Ma Liang had already fallen, and fell heavily to the ground, and when the crowd surrounded him, Ma Liang was already dead. At such a high height, it is estimated that the internal organs have been shattered. So it seems that when Ma Liang jumped off the building, he was at least conscious.

"Go up to the top floor and have a look!" I said to a policeman as I walked upstairs, "Get me some dummies, and get me a big bag of rubble." ”

The policeman scratched his head: "What do you want these things for?"

"Naturally, it is useful, and it will be transported directly to the rooftop for a while to evacuate the people below. I smiled and said to him.

On the elevator, I was bored and asked Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, why do you say people commit suicide." It is how disappointed you are in this world that you will choose to leave this world. If someone could get into their hearts, wouldn't they kill themselves?"

Gu Chen looked at me for a long time before he said, "If you ask me about this topic, I really can't answer it." But maybe that's the case, if there is no more nostalgia in this world, it's also a torment to live. But I think that a person's death is never a person's thing, even if you don't want to live anymore, you should think about others. ”

"There's always someone who will grieve for you when you die. Gu Chen said.

I asked, "Oh, wouldn't you be crying when I die?" Seriously, I really want to see what the hell the iron man looks like when he cries. ”

"Oh, when I was one hundred and twenty years old, you could see it when I swept your grave. Gu Chen shrugged.

The elevator opened, and I said as I walked out, "I'm sorry, the fortune teller said that I was 130 years old and had a ......."

"The grave has collapsed?" Gu Chen said.

What it's like to stand on the 32nd floor and look down, I just feel like if the wind were any stronger, I'm going to be blown down. But I really stood high and looked far away, and the surrounding scenery was full of color. Although it was close to noon, it was still relatively cool.

Looking down, I saw that the crowd below was small and ant-like, and after watching it for a long time, I had an inexplicable urge to jump down. Perhaps many people like bungee jumping because of this mentality, and they want to try what it is like to jump. Unfortunately, the person who knows about these experiences has no way to tell us how he feels.

There is a railing on the rooftop, but if someone wants to kill themselves, the railing will not help.

Judging by where the horsepower light fell, we determined an approximate range.

"This has a pair of glasses. I said to Gu Chen.

I put on my gloves and took them up, and when I looked closely, it was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and they were men's.

I carefully observed the width of the gold-rimmed glasses frame, and then said to Gu Chen: "These are the glasses that Ma Li Liang is wearing." ”

"Really?" Gu Chen also stared at the glasses for a moment's confusion: "How can you see that his name is written on it?"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's just a guess, Ma Liang is an employee of a real estate agency, and this temperament is very suitable for his work." Ma Li Liang is wearing a suit, so the matching glasses must be more formal. Besides, the frames of these glasses were folded, and he must have taken them off on purpose and put them here. ”

"Why do you want to put it here?" asked Gu Chen.

I shrugged: "The book I read says that a person who commits suicide must have his eyes closed when he commits suicide, unless he has masochistic tendencies. Because no matter how powerful a human being is, he has the nature of an animal. Our nature makes us reluctant to face the death of ourselves or others. ”

I stood on the edge and looked down, matching the position of the corpse.

I continued: "So that's why the average person's first reaction when they see a corpse is not sympathy but fear. This is the nature of nature, so to speak, those forensic ~ doctors are really powerful. ”

"You want to say that Guan Zengbin is powerful, right?" Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I see that you two often flirt in front of me, so just forget about the two of you." ”

"She?" I quickly waved my hand: "'Breasts' are too small!"

"The dummy you want has arrived!" said a policeman's voice behind him.

When I looked back, I saw five policemen, one holding a dummy, and one carrying a sack of gravel on his back. Gu Chen and I hurriedly took it over and put the five dummies beside us.

"Is that enough?" said the policeman, sweating profusely.

I nodded and hurriedly thanked: "Enough is enough, let the people below stay away, let's do a fun experiment." ”

"Fun experiment?" everyone was puzzled.

Gu Chen understood what I was going to do, and then said, "Crime simulation." ”

"Yes, if you want to know if he committed suicide or if he killed himself, these dummies can help us. I said, "I just estimated that Ma Liang is about 1.75 meters tall, and these dummies are about the same height." He should weigh about one hundred and thirty pounds, and put these stones in it. ”

The weight of the dummy, plus the weight of the stones, is estimated to be about one hundred and thirty catties.

Gu Chen and I placed a dummy outside the railing.

I said, "Okay, now it's simulated that someone pushes the horsepower and tells the people below to stay away." ”

As we spoke, we pushed the dummy down, and in less than three seconds, the dummy fell to the ground with a "bang", and when I looked down from the roof, it was torn apart, and the stones were splashing. Fortunately, we have told people to stay away and nothing has happened.

The police below marked the location where the dummy fell, and we began the next simulation.

"This is Ma Liang jumping down hard. I said.

Another dummy.

"This is after Ma Liang was knocked unconscious, he rolled down. ”

A dummy.

"This is Ma Li Liang walking down......," I said, again.
