The letter left by Deng Xuemei is very elegant in terms of handwriting. I looked at other written documents, and the handwriting on this letter is exactly the same, which shows that this letter should be Written by Deng Xuemei. This letter expresses Deng Xuemei's motive for the murder, and expresses the grief and indignation in Deng Xuemei's heart.
But in this letter, I saw some contradictions. Deng Xuemei herself is one way, and others are another. It can be seen that the words written in this letter are sincere, and it seems to vent all the unhappiness in life, which shows the mood of the writer.
Lu Zhiqiu did donate to Deng Xuemei, and many people know this. Then when Deng Xuemei knew that her time was not long, it would not be difficult to commit a murderous act. It was obvious in this letter that Deng Xuemei never gave up on finding the murderer, and Deng Xuemei also wanted to find the murderer, but Deng Xuemei didn't have much time, so she simply killed everyone.
Now whether it is from the time of committing the crime, the motive of committing the crime, the modus operandi, physical evidence and witnesses, both internal and external factors can prove Deng Xuemei's murder suspicion. Moreover, Deng Xuemei herself admitted the fact of her murder. Judging from the current situation, this case should be closed. But there is always something wrong in my heart, and I feel like something is missing.
At the end of the letter, Deng Xuemei said that she had fulfilled her wish, and in this world, she had nothing to worry about. Her father, who was dependent on her, died a few years ago, and she has no relatives in this world. She is already disappointed in this world, extremely disappointed in this world where everyone is selfish.
So Deng Xuemei prepared to commit suicide, and the method of suicide was very simple, jumping off a cliff.
Deng Xuemei wrote: There are many ways to leave this world, some choose to hang themselves, and some choose to take medicine. Regardless of the method, in the end, someone else is needed to help him collect the corpse. But only jumping off a cliff, and jumping into the sea will not do this. All life in the world originated from the ocean, so it may be the best choice for a person to die and return to the ocean.
Goodbye, this world.
I finished reading the letter after seeing this. From the beginning of the letter, we knew that Deng Xuemei was going to commit suicide, but I never thought that Deng Xuemei would choose such a way of suicide.
When we see a dead body, there are four possibilities of death for this dead body. The first is suicide, the second is homicide, the third is accidental death, and the fourth is natural birth, old age, sickness and death. From the perspective of these four ways of death, natural death is the best to distinguish.
Leaving aside natural death, in one case it is difficult to discern the nature of death when we see a dead body.
That is jumping from a building or a cliff or jumping into the sea and so on. According to the current means, this is also the most difficult to detect. It is difficult for us to distinguish the difference between the three without witnesses and physical evidence.
To give an example, when a person falls off a cliff, how can we distinguish whether the person committed suicide, homicide or accidental death
If it was suicide, then he jumped off the cliff by himself under subjective initiative, or walked down, or jumped off. If it was homicide, then someone would gently push him down, or deliberately frighten him, causing him to accidentally fall off the cliff. And if it was an accidental death, then he accidentally fell down.
However, in these three ways, the final method of causing death is the same, all of which are high-fall injuries. Then it is necessary to find a lot of clues at the scene, interrogate witnesses, call surveillance, find out who was with the deceased at the time, and whether they had a motive for killing.
For most people, it is basically impossible to be calm and composed after a murder, and to talk eloquently without fear in the face of investigation. But if there is such a murderer, his thoughts are meticulous and he will leave no trace. In the face of interrogation, no flaws were revealed. If this is the case, can we still tell whether the deceased committed suicide, homicide, or accidental death
"There is no doubt about it" means that without absolute evidence, it is impossible to determine whether a person has killed someone. In order to avoid unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, we must be cautious when facing such cases. Just like now, we know that Deng Xuemei is dead, and from the letter, she should have committed suicide.
However, no body was found. Those who jumped into the sea, those who don't know where they jumped into the sea, it is impossible to find the body in a short time. And even if we know where Deng Xuemei jumped into the sea, we may not be able to find the body. Every year, many corpses are fished up from the coastline of Dongxing City, and many people disappear into the sea every day.
There is no evidence of death at all. Before I saw the corpse, I would not believe it just based on a letter. What if this is Deng Xuemei's plan to get out of her shell? Using feigned death to confuse our sight, but I actually left Dongxing City and silently waited for the day when my life ended.
It is not impossible to exchange a letter for two years of carefree life.
However, there is another possibility, who knows whether it is suicide or homicide
It suddenly occurred to me that I saw some things on the list that Deng Xuemei would never use in eight lifetimes, such as bait trays, which are used for fishing. If a girl's hobby is fishing, then this is a bit strange. So I wonder why she would buy these things, is it because of the discount in the supermarket
Thinking about it now, if Deng Xuemei was going to the beach, then it would not be strange to have a bait tray. But if you want to say this, would a person who wants to commit suicide catch a fish before committing suicide? If so, then the quality of his heart is too good, and a person who can be so optimistic probably will not commit suicide.
I frowned and pulled my hair with my hands. There are too many loopholes in this suicide note. Analyzing from many aspects, I don't think Deng Xuemei is a person who will commit suicide. Then the question arises, what did Deng Xuemei do
"There is something wrong with this letter." I said, "There is really a problem. Deng Xuemei should not commit suicide. From what we have observed, Deng Xuemei seems to be living well in this house, and she is in the mood to go. Big purchases, if you are in the mood to cook a lot of meals for yourself, and you have to dress yourself up when you leave, do you think a person who is about to commit suicide would have so many other thoughts?"
Zhao Mingkun shook his head, and said: "People who are really going to die won't say it out loud. I also have a vague feeling that Deng Xuemei's letter is really too, how should I put it, a little too ostentatious." .”
Zhao Mingkun's words touched my heart, and I waved my hand to signal her to continue talking.
"You think, Deng Xuemei has no relatives in this world, so who is this letter for? If it is for us, why bother? Anyway, she has already killed everyone who should be killed. The murderer is among these people, so why say it? And the letter puts too much emphasis on his motive for killing."
Zhao Mingkun shook his head while talking: "The rest of the content is very small, as if Deng Xuemei must have called out the fact that she killed those people, and wanted to tell the world. The chemicals left behind It also illustrates this point, and I always have a feeling that she is a little too hard."
I patted the table and said, "That's right, that's the feeling. This feeling is too abrupt, and she really wasted too much ink to exaggerate it, it's a bit too much."
"It's like!" I looked at Zhao Mingkun and said seriously: "She wants to take the murder on herself."
We all fell into silence, Deng Xuemei's behavior was too abnormal and somewhat contradictory.
At this moment, the phone rang, and I looked, it was Gu Chen calling.
"Gu Chen?" I asked, "Any clues?"
Gu Chen's voice came out: "There is a clue. According to Sister Mary's investigation, you asked Sister Mary to go to Jiang Xiaochun's detailed information before. Sister Mary found a very strange point."
"Strange?" I asked.
Gu Chen said: "That's right, Sister Mary found out during the investigation that Hu Pei's daughter is not Jiang Xiaochun's child at all."
"What?" I didn't quite understand.
Gu Chen said: "That is to say, Hu Xiaoxue is indeed Hu Pei's daughter, but Hu Xiaoxue's mother is not Jiang Xiaochun. Hu Xiaoxue's mother is a woman named Xu Man. Seven years ago, Hu Pei carried Lu Zhiqiu on his back, and finally let a woman pregnant."
"Hu Pei didn't know that at that time, but Xu Man came to see Hu Pei after the girl Xu Man's big belly was seen by everyone. At that time, he could only wait for her to be born. But Xu Man knew that Hu Pei had a daughter. My friend is called Lu Zhiqiu, so I wanted to have a showdown with Lu Zhiqiu, and the night I chose was right after the internship."
"At that time, Xu Man was very scared. She used Hu Pei's money to rent a house by herself. During Hu Pei's internship, she had a stomachache. She was terrified and called Hu Pei. Hu Pei was on the construction site. The internship ignored it. Xu Man was very frightened and had no choice but to call her parents. Her parents never thought that their daughter would do such a thing.”
Gu Chen paused, then continued: "Xu Man's parents didn't expect their daughter to be pregnant. That night, her parents severed the relationship with Xu Man. Desperate, Xu Man took a taxi to Hu Pei's construction site. The phone wants to have a showdown with Lu Zhiqiu."
"Later Hu Pei found out about this, so he hurried out to find Xu Man." Gu Chen said.
"Did he find Xu Man later?" I asked.
Gu Chen said: "I don't know about this. Sister Mary has investigated so many things, but you can ask Xu Man about the following things. Anyway, Xu Man left after giving birth to a child for Hu Pei, but Sister Mary The investigation found that Xu Man is now in a KTV... "
