All of a sudden, everyone crowded at the door. I took out my ID and showed it to the waitress girl, and asked him to find the person in charge of the store. And Zhao Mingkun and I started to conduct a simple investigation and autopsy on the three corpses.
We lifted the bath towels wrapped around the three corpses and saw that the three of them were wearing at least one pair of underpants, so we felt relieved and tore off the bath towels. Zhao Mingkun and I observed the three corpses carefully, but we couldn't see any fatal wounds on the corpses when we looked left and right. And let alone a fatal wound, even if it was a small wound, I didn't see it.
And this shows that these three people were not killed by mechanical injuries.
Mechanical injury refers to the destruction or impairment of organ tissue structure when the body is subjected to mechanical violence. The typical ones are blunt trauma, contusion, bone fracture, sharp tool trauma, etc., including suicide or homicide.
Typical non-mechanical injuries include poisoning, chemical injuries, and radiation injuries.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is similar to the physical attack and magic attack in the game. And for these three people, the possibility of such a death is not great. I pried open Zhang Yifa's mouth with my hands to observe the situation in Zhang Yifa's mouth. If you look closely, you can see that Zhang Yifa's tongue is blue-purple, and there are small white spots on the tongue coating. Look at Zhang Yifa's lips, they are vermilion.
And when I saw Cheng Lu's body before, his face was also slightly vermilion. I put my nose close to Zhang Yifa's lips and sniffed lightly. A faint scent of bitter almonds came over, and if you didn't lean over to smell it carefully, you wouldn't be able to smell such a faint smell.
I raised my head and saw three cups on the bedside table of the three beds. There was no water in Cheng Lu's water glass, while Zhang Yifa's and Sun Shouwang's glasses were still half full. This shows that all three people drank water. I reached out and picked up the glass of water on Zhang Yifa's bedside table, put it to my nose and smelled it, and it really had a faint smell of bitter almonds.
And this means that these three people actually died of cyanide poisoning.
At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties came out of the crowd. She walked in frowning, and said as she walked, "What's wrong, what happened?"
The waiter stood timidly in front of her and said, "This is the boss of our shop."
I nodded and said, "He's dead."
While speaking, she also saw the three people lying on the bed, and suddenly exclaimed: "How did you die? Well, what happened here?"
I looked at the female boss and said, "Who brought these three glasses of water in? The water is poisonous! If the amount of cyanide is sufficient, it can kill a person in a minute!"
While talking, the female boss looked at the waiter and said, "Did you bring this water in?"
Under the stern questioning of the female boss, the waitress had tears in her eyes, and she said: "After a few guests came in, they asked me to heat a pot of water, and I did so. They told me to Go ahead and take a bath in the pool, let me heat the water up and put it on the table."
"After more than ten minutes." The little girl said with a crying voice: "I knocked on the door and they didn't answer, so I came in directly. At that time, they should still be taking a bath, so I put the hot water on the table, I took the door and walked out. At that time, I heard the three of them discussing something inside, but I didn’t hear the buzzing clearly! I didn’t poison it!”
I nodded: "Well, you didn't kill people, I know."
Then, I pointed to a two-way sliding door in the house and said, "Is there a bathtub behind this door?"
The female boss nodded and said, "Well, they asked for a four-person room. Our place is different from other places. We have a pool in the room here. You can see it when you come and see."
Saying that, the female boss went to the sliding door and pulled a door to see. Only then did we see that there was a big pool behind the door. The pool is still steaming hot at the moment, and it seems that the water temperature in the pool is still quite high. I walked in and saw several people's clothes were still on the hangers beside the room.
The space inside is quite large, and there is a large color TV hanging on the wall facing the door. It seems that entertainment is quite rich.
I turned to the female boss and said, "Look at the surveillance, who else has been here?"
The female boss's expression changed, and she pulled her face and said, "There is no surveillance in our store."
"What?" I couldn't believe my ears, there was no surveillance in such a big store.
At this time, Wang Yikai ran over, leaned into my ear and said, "What kind of business is this store? I told you before. It is because there are no cameras that there are so many customers. Like this , No matter what you are doing here, no one knows, even if you have been here, no one records."
After hearing Wang Yikai's explanation, I understood. As such, there is no evidence. But without a camera, things are easy to lose, and people will get in. For merchants, this of course has advantages and disadvantages.
And we don't know who else was in the store, let alone who spiked the water with cyanide.
After taking a bath, people will naturally feel thirsty due to dehydration. Perhaps the murderer took this into consideration to poison the pot. And the three of them never imagined that after taking a bath, the water in the pot would turn into poison that could kill people in minutes. And the three of them drank the poison in the cup without even thinking about it.
"Can't the door be locked?" I asked again.
"Yes!" The wife said, "Of course."
The waiter said: "Because they want me to come in to deliver water, the door is just closed, but not locked."
I nodded.
From this point of view, the murderer must have known in advance that these people were coming here. Otherwise, how could the murderer think of using this method? Among the three people, if one of them didn't drink water, saw that something was wrong with the other, and with timely rescue, the three of them might not die. But after taking a bath, the three of them were dry, so they would naturally drink water.
And if we didn't look for Wang Yikai today and delay his coming here, I'm afraid Wang Yikai will become the fourth corpse lying here like these three corpses.
The murderer's method of killing is very simple, even a child can do it. It's nothing more than walking in, throwing highly toxic cyanide into the boiling kettle, and the rest is waiting for them to kill themselves. And things like chloride, if you are a person who understands chemistry, you can configure it yourself.
Although the words are easy to say, but think about it carefully, if there is no careful observation, how could the murderer know that there is no surveillance here? How do you know that killing them in this way will undoubtedly kill them.
I looked at Wang Yikai and said, "Are you still in constant contact?"
Wang Yikai nodded and said, "We are roommates in college, and we stayed in Dongxing City after graduation, so we have always been in touch, and we often come out to get together when we have nothing to do."
Speaking of this, Wang Yikai was very sad: "We have also been friends for more than ten years, but how could we have thought that three people would die in this one, this one. How can I tell their family members at that time. "
But when he got here, Wang Yikai's expression changed, and he said, "If, if you hadn't called me, I should be dead by now."
It seems that Wang Yikai also wants to understand this matter.
"Do you come here often?" I asked again.
At this time, the little waitress spoke, and she said: "I have been working here for more than a year, and I have indeed seen them a few times before. But the three of them come a lot, and I don't see this gentleman very often. "
Wang Yikai waved his hand and said, "I don't come here very much."
I naturally understood what Wang Yikai was referring to.
Although three people died, a clear feeling gradually emerged in my heart. This time, the three of them didn't see anything strange, and they weren't frightened to death. This time, the three of them did not gouge out their own eyes. From this point of view, the murderer is indeed a human being, not a ghost.
Could it be that it was daytime, and the flying head couldn't come out to scare people, but the murderer still wanted to kill, so he used conventional means
The main question now is, what tactics did the murderer use in the previous cases
Zhao Mingkun pulled me at this time, and said, "Don't stay too long, we've almost finished the investigation, you know?"
Zhao Mingkun's words were good, but he didn't expect the murderer to be one step ahead of us this time. We have to investigate one by one, and the murderer doesn't think about it at all. These three people are actually the least suspicious, but because they echoed Wang Yikai's few words, they became what they are now.
Doesn't the murderer even have time to investigate? With that time to stalk others, can't you spend a little more time figuring out the truth of the matter? If the murderer still wanted to avenge Lu Zhiqiu after seven years, why did he care so little about the truth? Doesn't he want to find out who killed Lu Zhiqiu
Zhao Mingkun and I walked out, and I said as we walked: "Someone will come to take the corpse away for investigation later, remember not to touch anything in the house, especially the water in the pot, it is highly poisonous "Wang Yikai, come with us."
Wang Yikai nodded sharply and said, "Yes, yes!"
He drove us to his house. In the car, Wang Yikai was trembling and seemed very scared.
"Dead, how many people died?" Wang Yikai finally looked back at us.
I counted in my heart, only to realize that six people had already died, and within two days, almost half of the thirteen people had died.
The murderer seems to be like a perpetual motion machine, and he can never stop his killing heart. At this speed, it only takes five days for these thirteen people to be killed by the murderer. The problem is that we can't find the slightest clue about the murderer, and we don't even understand how the murderer killed the person.
There are too many things we want to investigate.
