Jia Mansion, study

The bright moonlight spilled in through the doors and windows, and the scene was silent, and the catchers were still busy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Yutian and Xue Tianhan frowned slightly.

Jia Zheng's words are really a bit strange.

Not only that, but his behavior is also quite abnormal.

It is really hard not to be suspicious of the tiger painting, which is rare for even his own wife to see, and suddenly took it out for him to see, and said something similar to his last words.

Could it be that there is a secret hidden in this?

Chen Yutian thought for a while and asked Jia, "Madam, when did this happen?"

"Not long ago, just half a month ago. It was probably the night after the death of the former R county commander. ”

Chen Yutian was surprised, the night after that, the time was so coincidental, was it really a coincidence, or was there a reason he didn't know?

His gaze gradually turned to the empty paintings on the wall.

He already knew that the empty painting was fake. But the problem is that the empty paintings left at the scene of the murder are all fake, so where did the real paintings go?

Falling into the hands of murderers, of course!

But what did the murderer do with these tiger paintings?

These paintings are not from the hands of famous artists, and I don't know the dynasty, even if they are exchanged for money, there should not be many silver taels.

And once it is found that the empty painting is fake, the government will inevitably use this as a clue to follow, and if the painting appears on the black market afterwards, it will inevitably attract the attention of the government, thus revealing the identity.

This is unwise!

So what was the purpose of the murderer taking the tiger painting?

Is it just to create a scene where the tiger painting is real and killed?

It's unlikely!

The murderer's painstaking arrangement cannot be just such a purpose.

Among them, there must be secrets that I don't understand.

This secret may be the key to unlocking this whole serial murder case......

......

"Madam, your father-in-law has been in this study since early this morning, and has never taken half a step?"

Chen Yutian retracted his thoughts and asked Jia.

Jia Shi thought for a while and said, "My lord Mingjian." Indeed it is. ”

"Have you ever seen him on the way?"

"No, I didn't. Jia shook his head, "Xianggong gave an order early this morning that no one should disturb him. Even three meals a day, he just ordered someone to put it outside the door, and he took it himself. ”

"So, where is the person who delivers the food?"

Jia went out and called in two girls dressed as maids. They are the people who are responsible for delivering meals to Jia Zheng today.

Chen Yutian asked them if they had seen the deceased Jia Zheng when they delivered the meal, and the two maids said no. When they delivered the food, they just left the lunch box outside the door, and then they heard Jia Zheng telling them to step back.

"So, you haven't seen the dead?"

"Yes. But at that time, the master also ordered me to wait for the two of us to retreat, thinking that they should be alive. A maid replied.

"I see, the county understands. Chen Yutian nodded.

"Jia, as Mr. Fang Cai Gongsun said, the time of death of your father-in-law is from Shen to Hai. However, this county wants to tell you that in fact, your father-in-law began to die early this morning. ”

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked!

"Brother Chen, are you joking! The two maids have already said that when they delivered the meal, they also heard the voice of the deceased. At that time, the deceased should not have died. Huo Yuanji said for the first time.

"Yes, and as I said just now, the time of death of the deceased was from the time of Shen to Hai, how can you say that he has been dying since the morning?" Xuan Xi said.

Gongsun didn't speak, just looked at Chen Yutian and frowned slightly.

Chen Yutian also looked at him and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, does he have something to say?"

"Students just don't understand what adults mean by 'starting to die'?"

Chen Yutian said with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun can be described as a word. Let's start from the beginning. First of all, let's talk about the testimony of the two maids, who only heard the voices of the deceased at that time, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"But sound doesn't mean anything, does it?"

Everyone was stunned.

"It's true that sound doesn't mean anything. After all, as long as someone can imitate someone else's voice, he can be someone. Xue Tianhan nodded.

"But what does that mean?" asked Xuan Xi.

"It says a lot. For example, it was not the deceased himself who spoke in the study at that time, but the murderer. Gongsun opened his mouth, and his words were amazing!

"What do you mean, sir...... That murderer has always been in my father-in-law's study?"

Jia Shi and the two maids were a little surprised.

"Definitely. He had probably been infiltrating the area since the morning, and did not leave until the deceased was completely dead. Remember, that shadow that Wang Er saw?"

Chen Yutian looked at everyone with solemn eyes and smiled slightly.

If that is the murderer, our hypothesis can be valid. ”

"However, this doesn't have much to do with what you said about the deceased dying from the morning?" Xuan Xi wondered.

"No, it matters. "Chen Yutian Dao," If it is assumed that the murderer has sneaked into the study since the morning, then many things will be explained. For example, the time of death of the deceased. ”

Everyone nodded, indeed, it was Zishi when the body was found, but after Gongsun had just inspected it, he said that the deceased died in the period from Shen Shi to Hai Shi.

There is also the cause of death of the deceased. According to Gongsun, the deceased was not bitten to death, but strangled to death.

"Could it be...... You've seen through the murderer's methods of killing?"

Xue Tianhan glanced at Chen Yutian, and said lightly as always.

Chen Yutian nodded and said with a smile: "This technique is indeed very ingenious, but it is also very simple. ”

Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other.

"I think the murderer must have sneaked into this study from the morning, stunned the deceased with sweat pills and other drugs, and used the deceased's voice to tell his subordinates not to disturb him. ”

Immediately, he was here, laying down a game for the death of the dead. ”

"Layout?!" Gongsun wondered.

At this moment, Wang Yi walked in from outside. Since he brought Jia Shi in just now, he has disappeared, and he has not appeared in front of everyone again until this moment.

"Your Excellency, you're all set. "As soon as Wang Yi entered the door, he was facing Chen Yutiandao.

Chen Yutian nodded, and led everyone to the door of a room next to the study.

Pushing open the door, everyone was shocked when they saw the situation in the room!

The furnishings in the room are basically the same as in the study, behind the desk, hanging a mass of quilts, the quilt is tied with rope, and the other section of the rope is tied to the beams.

Underneath the quilt is a chair with a block of ice underneath the chair.

The ice cube was surrounded by several candles the size of baby arms, and the candles were burning brightly, and the ice quickly melted under the burn.

The chair was padded with ice cubes, and it was much taller, just in contact with the quilt hanging from the beams. From the side, it looks like the quilt is on a chair.

"This, this is ......" Everyone looked at this arrangement, looking at each other and wondering.

Chen Yutian finally walked in slowly from outside the door, and he told everyone that this was the bureau set up by the murderer at the scene.

"We can now think of the quilt as the dead, and after the murderer has stunned the dead and drunk the deceased, he took out the rope and ice cubes that had been prepared in advance, and made the same arrangement as we see now. All he had to do was sit the deceased on that chair and put the rope around the deceased's neck, and the preparation was complete. ”

"Next, just wait until the ice melts・・・・・・"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the ice cube surrounded by candles was completely melted with a snap!

I saw that at the moment when the ice melted, the chair on it fell instantly, making a loud noise!

Immediately, the rope on the beam of the house suddenly tightened, and the quilt was instantly hung by it, swaying in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone was taken aback!

In this way, the deceased was naturally strangled to death! The best evidence is the puddle of undried water stains left under the desk and the strangulation marks on the beams. Also, a few drops of wax oil left near the water stain. Chen Yutian said slowly.

Everyone suddenly realized.

It turns out that just let them look at the following, which is what it means.

Xue Tianhan and Gongsun frowned slightly.

They had all seen those three pieces of evidence, so they had no objection to Chen Yutian's speculation.

However, although the murderer's methods are ingenious, if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is one point in it, which really does not make sense.

This technique, as long as it is used, can kill the deceased at a predetermined time, regardless of whether the murderer is at the scene or not!

If the murderer had arranged everything in the morning and left, and then returned after the deceased had died completely, and set up the scene, wouldn't it have greatly reduced his exposure?

You can even make a perfect alibi for yourself to reduce the suspicion of the government!

Such a way to get the best of both worlds, with the wisdom of the murderer in the past, is impossible to imagine.

But he didn't.

Instead, he stayed in the murder scene of his own creation for a whole day!

The two of them couldn't figure this out.

Actually, it's not just them, this point, even Chen Yutian, can't figure it out!

He made a lot of conjectures, but none of them made sense.

This point, perhaps, only one person can answer.

This person is the murderer himself!

However, it is still unknown who the murderer is, whether he is a man or a woman.

Chen Yutian suddenly felt a mist enveloping his eyes.
