After working for several hours, no fingerprints other than those of the deceased were found in the room.
Although everyone knew that if there was another murderer, he would most likely wear gloves when committing the crime, and they had already prepared for the worst, but when the results were announced, everyone's emotions seemed a little bit...
low.
The floor has been mopped clean, and there are no fingerprints left in the room. There is no property in the entire community, so there is no one to maintain the monitoring equipment.
Under such circumstances, the possibility of verifying whether there is really another murderer is extremely slim.
The work was in vain, and many people felt discouraged. A young police officer even whispered beside him: "I have said that all the evidence has been put in front of you. How can you really believe that there is another murderer?"
What about people? Intuition is sometimes unreliable..."
"No, this is not intuition."
Xu Tiannan suddenly responded: "In some cases, we can trust our intuition. When we have enough understanding of the murderer's experience or personality, we will have a sense of 'empathy' for the cases he committed. At that time, we can
Use intuition to judge the murderer's will and purpose, but in this case, it is obvious that you cannot use intuition to judge!"
The young police officer said in surprise: "Then... then why are you so sure that there are other murderers in this case?"
Xu Tiannan explained: "Because in the two murder cases tonight, I found something that is very inconsistent with the inner logic of the murderer."
"The murderer's inner logic? What does that mean?"
Xu Tiannan paused and explained simply.
——"To put it simply, inner logic is a person's "because" principle. This is an instinct-driven behavior that has nothing to do with morals, laws, rules and other social constraints."
——"For example, because you saw a very beautiful girl today, you had a sexual impulse. In this case, the sexual impulse is an instinct that you cannot control."
——"You can direct yourself not to harass girls, or you can ignore the law and commit sexual crimes against girls. This is because as a normal man, you have command and control over your own behavior. You can
Decide what to do when.”
——"But the inner logic is that even if you forcefully control your behavior, you still can't stop yourself from having sexual impulses for this beautiful girl. This means that no matter what you do, you can't resist your inner needs.
.”
After Xu Tiannan finished speaking, he pointed to the pile of items found on the cushion at the door and found out from King Shattered's backpack, and explained: "So you see, King Shattered is obviously an egoist. In his money-oriented life,
We can also easily see that he is a greedy person."
"Then here's the problem."
After finishing speaking, Xu Tiannan suddenly took out an evidence bag from his pocket, which contained a small black women's wallet, and waved it in front of everyone.
——"Look clearly, I found this at the crime scene in the shampoo room just now, so I brought it here."
——"This small money clip is placed in the first drawer of the bedside table of the big bed. You can see it at a glance as long as you open the drawer."
——"In addition to the photo of the dead hair-washing girl, there is nearly 1,000 yuan in the wallet."
——"There is something illogical about this. After killing Liu Jianren, the Rag King did not forget to go to his house to rummage through the cabinets and loot all valuable items, even keychains, photo frames and other items.
"
——"But after he killed the hair-washing girl, he didn't even take away the wallet full of cash from the first drawer of the bedside table. What does this mean?"
Xu Wudi immediately replied: "I know this, because he killed the hair-washing girl out of passion. He was so panicked at the time that he even forgot to take away the hair-washing girl's wallet."
"I don't think so."
Xu Tiannan retorted: "I have seen the death scene of the hair-washing girl. At that time, the Tatter King not only dragged the body of the shampooing girl into the bathroom, but also took two basins of soaked disinfectant. He was just cleaning the scene.
At that time, he left because of certain things, but from this we can see that the King of Rags at that time was not as panic-stricken as you thought."
Murong Shui thought for a while and replied: "I don't think he dared to take away the hair-washing girl's wallet, because if he took the wallet away, today's case would be classified as burglary and murder. A penalty of this level would be worse than
The penalty for simple manslaughter is much more severe."
Xu Tiannan smiled and said: "Shui Gen, you think too much. I believe that with the simple little mind of the Tattered King, he would never have thought of this."
Suddenly, Li Mengxue interrupted: "I think the Tattered King didn't dare to take the hair-washing girl's wallet at that time."
Xu Tiannan's eyes lit up, "Oh? Why?"
Li Mengxue thought for a while and replied: "Because there was another murderer at the scene who suppressed the Tattered King. In these murder cases, he must completely obey the orders of the other murderer. When the other murderer did not order him to take someone else
When it comes to money, he would never dare to take action rashly. In other words, there was another person with a higher level than him who suppressed him on the spot, causing him to act against his own inner logic and desires."
After finishing speaking, Li Mengxue immediately added: "And you have also seen it yourself. There are two washbasins filled with disinfectant in the shampoo room, so I also think that the Tattered King was just used as a target today.
Yes, the real mastermind behind this is someone else."
Xu Tiannan said excitedly: "You are right, this principle is just like the leader of a wolf pack. No one is allowed to eat first unless the leader gives the order. Under the situation at that time, I thought there must be a murderer more advanced than the Tattered King.
Directing each other’s every move.”
Li Mengxue's expression was a little solemn, "But...but we can't just rely on logical reasoning in handling cases. If we want to convince our superiors that there is a real culprit in these cases that are about to be solved, we must provide strong evidence."
OK."
"Let me think."
After Xu Tiannan finished speaking, he returned to the door of the room again, almost lying on the ground, and moved towards the room to check little by little, but he soon discovered clues.
"Invincible! Where is the murder weapon that killed Liu Jianren tonight?"
"Oh! Here it is!"
Xu Wudi took out an evidence bag and explained: "The edges of the wound on Liu Jianren's neck were rough and uneven. When I first came to the scene, I immediately spotted the smashed plate fragments on the ground. The edges of the fragments were not only contaminated with
There was a lot of blood, and after my comparison, I found that the broken edge of this fragment was very consistent with the wound on Liu Jianren's neck."
Xu Tiannan: "In other words, Liu Jianren died after his trachea was severed by the fragment of the white porcelain plate, right?"
Xu Wudi nodded, "That's definitely the case."
After a while, Xu Tiannan explained: "Okay, then I found two suspicious points."
He first came to Liu Jianren's body, pointed to the bone chopping knife next to him under the sofa, and asked everyone.
——"This is the bone-chopping knife that was dropped at the murder scene tonight. As for whether this knife and the golf bag were the items missing from the villa when Liu Jianmin died a few months ago, it remains to be investigated."
——"But I discovered a problem."
——"I believe you have all seen that this knife is less than half a meter away from Liu Jianren's death position, but it is only less than half a meter away. Why did the Tattered King choose to break the plate and use the porcelain plate fragments to kill him?
Slit Liu Jianren’s neck? Instead of choosing to chop the opponent’s head directly with a knife?”
Everyone was silent. No one could understand the logic of this. Why was a very useful murder weapon less than half a meter away, but the Tattered King insisted on breaking the porcelain plate and killing people with its fragments?
For a long time, no one could answer this question, but Murong Shui whispered unconfidently: "Is it possible... that the Tattered King is blind?"
"Blind man? No way!"
Xu Wudi walked to the corpse believing it was true, opened the corpse's eyelids, and shined a flashlight on it, but he said disappointedly: "This man... seems to have nothing wrong with his eyes?"
But Li Mengxue seemed to understand, and she explained: "Wudi, the blind man mentioned here does not mean that the Broken King is really blind, but it means that under the circumstances at that time, the Broken King's eyes may have been damaged.
Attacked, temporarily lost vision. Or..."
Murong Shui rushed to answer: "Power outage!"
Xu Tiannan touched Murong Shui's head with approval and whispered: "That's right, Shui Gen, do you still remember? Sherlock once said to Watson that when all impossible situations are eliminated, no matter how difficult the remaining ones are,
Believe me, those are all facts, and the evidence that there was a power outage when the Rag King committed the murder is this..."
As he said that, Xu Tiannan took out another evidence bag from his pocket, which contained a string of very thin silver necklaces, and explained: "I just found this on the window sill of the back room of this house. I just..."
Li Mengxue suddenly became unhappy and interrupted loudly: "Hey! These are important physical evidence at the scene. Why do you always just take them away! If you do this again, I will be angry!"
"Sorry...sorry..."
Xu Tiannan smiled and handed the evidence bag back to Li Mengxue, explaining: "When I found this silver necklace just now, it was on the window sill of the back room, so this is very strange. For someone like the Tatter King, who is greedy for every stitch.
For a person, he even searched for Liu Jianren's high-end keychains, but only left this silver necklace. There is only one possibility. He didn't notice the silver necklace at all at the time, so I think at least
Within a few minutes of Liu Jianren's death, the room was in a power outage."
After saying that, Xu Tiannan suddenly looked at the air-conditioning socket next to the TV cabinet and found that the plastic shell above the socket was broken. At this time, it was almost melted by the electricity and turned into a black mass.
"However, after the Broken King killed Liu Jianren, when he was cleaning the floor in the room, power suddenly came to the house for some reason. The 380V high-voltage electricity from the air-conditioning socket passed through the water stains on the ground and was transmitted to the Broken King.
body, making it look like he was accidentally electrocuted by a sudden call."
"Huh? Boss? Why...you stopped talking?"
Murong Shui suddenly noticed that Xu Tiannan was suddenly silent, so he stepped forward and asked, "Did you remember something?"
"Yep……"
Xu Tiannan murmured to himself: "I should have discovered a long time ago that the shoes on King Shattered's feet are made of rubber soles and are not insulated at all. So why was he electrocuted?"
After finishing speaking, Xu Tiannan didn't wait for the rest of the people to reply, and suddenly walked up to the body of the Tattered King, reached out and took off the other person's shoes. However, the moment the shoes were taken off, everyone screamed in surprise.
It turned out that after the Tattered King's shoes were taken off, everyone discovered that the socks on the soles of his feet were stained with a lot of blood.
Xu Tiannan said excitedly: "This is it! This is it! The other murderer must have planned to get rid of the Rag King, so he cut off the power to this house in advance, and then used the excuse of cleaning up the scene to keep his shoes from getting wet.
Let the Rag King take off his shoes and stand in the living room cleaning the floor. At this moment, the murderer directly turned on the power switch of the room. The 380V high voltage instantly killed the Rag King. The golf ball the murderer brought today
The golf bag, clubs, bone chopping knife and other items also directly made the King of Rags the culprit of Liu Jianmin’s murder.”
At this point, almost everyone agreed with this statement. At the same time, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, and Wen Sibao actually appeared in the corridor with a young man."
"Tiannan, come out quickly, I've discovered something!"
After several people walked out of the room, they heard Wen Sibao panting: "After my investigation just now, I found that Liu Jianren had a food delivery boy delivering food to him every night during this period, but tonight, at that
Something strange happened to the delivery boy, come on! Brother, didn't you call the police tonight? Then tell everyone what happened before you called the police."
It was probably the first time the delivery boy came to the scene of a murder, and he was so frightened that he was trembling all over, he recalled.
——"Police officers, just...just tonight, a man bumped into my car like a porridge, but he didn't blame me. Instead, he lay on the ground picking up rice, directly blocking my way."
——"I didn't think much about it at the time, so I parked the car in the parking lot outside the community and walked in carrying the vegetable basket."
——"But before I took two steps, I was accidentally hit by a rag picker again, and the vegetable basket in my hand was also knocked out."
——"But the blame lies here. The rag picker gave me 400 yuan at that time, saying he wanted to buy my basket of food."
——"I was thinking...how much was the spilled meal worth, so I accepted his money. But when I prepared dinner again and delivered it, Mr. Liu was already dead..."
Wen Sibao said excitedly: "Listen! Isn't this thing very weird? First, a mute forced the delivery man to park the car outside the community, and then there was a generous ragpicker who took the spilled food.
Bought again."
"This is it!"
The delivery boy recognized the food basket placed on the coffee table in the living room at a glance, and exclaimed: "This is the food delivery basket that was knocked over tonight!"
Xu Wudi finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "So... Fourth Master, what do you want to express?"
Wen Sibao frowned and said: "Oh! Don't you understand this? What I want to tell you is that it can be basically concluded that in the case of Liu Jianren's murder, the mute who deliberately bumped into the food delivery truck, he
He is also one of the murderers in this case! In other words, there is at least one murderer in this case that we have not yet grasped!"
After finishing speaking, Wen Sibao noticed that there was no surprised expression on everyone's faces. After a while, he hesitated and asked: "Huh? You... why aren't you surprised?"
