Chapter 119: Beam-style Reasoning (Part 1)
When we arrived at the grandma's house, the community police were already waiting here. The community police contacted the grandma's niece by phone and obtained the right to enter the house. After the community police helped open the door, since Baker was a senior detective, he knew what kind of case he was investigating.
The community police did not inquire or linger, and asked Baker to contact him if he needed help.
Grandma's house is a very traditional two-and-a-half-story house with a half-story low attic used for insulation and storage.
There are many large pieces of furniture in the house. They are coffee tables, sofas, TVs, recliners and other items that are difficult to move and handle. They are all tightly wrapped in plastic paper. Liang Xi walked and said: "The reason why I doubt
Wendy may have made a mistake because of the candles. All the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn tightly. Children lit candles in the house, and the smell could not dissipate for a long time. The person who may exist is called Keren, and Keren came once.
Smell the smell of candles, why come a second time? However, we must assume that what Wendy said is true."
Liang Xidao: "I don't believe it when it comes to thieves. If a thief knows that no one lives in the house, he will definitely check to see if there is anything valuable first. The thief is very skilled in climbing up the wall through the pipes, and then goes to the second floor to pry open the window to enter the house.
.This kind of window cannot be opened from the outside by ordinary small robbers without damaging it. It is unlikely that a thief of this level will make a stupid mistake and steal a house without valuable items."
"Naturally, the possibility of homeless people is ruled out. I have a few guesses. The first guess is whether there are antiques or expensive furniture in the house." Liang Xi opened the plastic paper and looked at it before covering it again. Not only did it not have much value,
, it’s also a money-promoting product. In big cities, the most distressing thing is not garbage sorting or construction waste, but the updated large furniture. The first way is to give it to the waste collection personnel for nothing, and then give some money as a supplement.
Ask them to help deal with it. The second way is to pay the person who sent the new furniture and let them take away the old furniture.
Liang Xi and Baker spent fifteen minutes checking all the furniture and items upstairs and downstairs, and confirmed that they were of no value. Liang Xi put forward a second hypothesis: "There is a dark room." Check through the thickness of the walls and the layout of the room.
, there is no darkroom. The only possibility is the basement. The house has an obvious basement, but will there be a dark basement?
Twenty minutes later, Baker and Liang Xi searched again to no avail.
Liang Xidao: "The third possibility is that the house is an observation post."
However, it was quickly denied because there were no valuable observation targets in the surrounding area.
Baker asked: "What then?"
"Start deducing the doubtful points. The first doubtful point is, as I said earlier, two children were lighting candles in the room. Didn't the bad guys notice it? The children said they heard the sound of the window. The second doubtful point is that the old lady's house has a front entrance and a door to the backyard.
There are two entrances and exits to the door. I checked the two door locks. They are very simple ordinary key locks." Liang Xi walked to the back door and said: "The door has a big gap. Even someone who doesn't have the ability to pick the lock can easily lock it with a hard card.
Open the lock quickly. If you're a little stupider, use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry open the retaining ring, turn the inner screws, and you can directly remove the entire lock."
Baker didn't understand: "What's the doubt?"
Liang Xi reminded: "Window."
Baker suddenly understood: "Since the door lock is so simple, and there are two doors at the front and back, it is still midnight, so there is no need for the bad guy to climb through the window. Considering the smell of candles, it means that when the bad guy was in the house, the two children went inside.
Later, the bad guy had something to do, or he didn't know how long the two children would stay, so he left through the window."
Liang Xi said: "Yes, there is another evidence to illustrate this point. The first time the two children heard the sound of the window, they ran away. The second time was when the boy saw the light. Assuming that the bad guys were alerted the first time, the second time
Will the bad guy show up again? The premise of our investigation is: assuming the two children tell the truth, what is the purpose of the bad guy?"
Baker said: "The ground is very clean, the doors and windows are closed, and there is very little dust. There are no food residues or other traces of humans staying for a long time. No furniture is missing."
"If there is nothing missing, then there may be something extra." First assuming and then eliminating the assumptions, Liang Xi picked up the phone and dialed Bobby's number.
Bobby answered the phone, half-dead: "Hello."
Liang Xi: "Are you dead? If you are not dead, I want to buy some furniture here."
Bobby: "Get lost."
Liang Xi: "Then I can only wait for Wendy to tell you after school. She will ask, where is the blond brother? You know, I am very honest, especially to a little girl, I will tell her honestly what happened
Tragedy in you."
Bobby was angry: "Tell me, what furniture should I buy?"
Liang Xi gave a brief introduction to the situation in an organized manner, and Bobby listened without saying a word: "Wait."
…
An hour later, a lawyer and two community police officers arrived at the grandmother's house and explained the situation. The house and all the furniture had been purchased by Bobby. The lawyer brought a simple contract, which stated that Liang Xi had the right to
Dispose of everything in the house.
After there was no problem with the law, Liang Xi grabbed the community policeman and said, "Help demolish the house."
It only took 5 minutes to demolish the home. A community policeman discovered that the back of the single sofa had been cut open, and the springs inside were visible to the naked eye, with a large space inside. The male community policeman proved on the spot that the sofa must have been intact. Because it must have been intact.
He helped the grandmother and niece buy plastic paper, and he helped her niece wrap the furniture.
Liang Xi agreed that if the sofa had been cut early, there would definitely be traces of small insects inside. Based on this, he speculated that when the two children were playing with candles, someone hid something on the sofa. On the day when the light was shaking, someone took it from the sofa.
Something is gone. The question arises, what is it? Why is it hidden here? This kind of question is beyond the scope of logical reasoning and is even difficult to hypothesize.
Baker doesn't like to use his brain, which doesn't mean he is stupid. He denied the possibility of trading. As a veteran member of the Anti-Pink Team, he knows the trade very well. The transaction cannot last more than two days. Baker thinks this method is more like buying a bad guy.
Baker explained that the employer wanted to kill a person, but he could not do it, or did not have the ability to do it. So he hired a killer from other places. It often happened that the killer bit the employer after being arrested. The best way was for the killer to only kill people and not do anything else.
You don’t need to know. When you hire a killer, you need weapons. If the killer brings his own weapons, the farther away from the assassination target, the less safe he is. Weapons are provided locally and killers are hired from other places.
Liang Xi discovered a flaw in Baker's explanation: "Based on your assumption, it means that the killer is not a native of the country. Are all the British dead? Is it difficult to shoot?" Britain does not ban guns, but it has strict controls. Britain often and
The boss, the United States, bullies others, and veterans with combat experience abound.
Liang Xi asked and answered: "It's not difficult to shoot, but some guns are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Baker: "Sniper rifle?"
