As soon as I said this, everyone present, even the police officers who were guarding the two suspects in the interrogation room, stared at me in shock. So many eyes were focused on me at once, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"You already know? Tell me now!"
Officer Yang and I have such a good relationship that he understood that if I said that, I must be absolutely sure. A joyful smile immediately appeared on his face, and he urged me to give the answer quickly.
At this point, my old habit came back. I kept it a secret and said, "Let's not talk about who the murderer is. Let me first tell you about the murderer's method of killing. These two cases have one thing in common, that is, weirdness. This weirdness includes many aspects. I think the two weirdest things are: first, how were the two victims scared to death by the murderer? Second, how did the flames on the bodies of the victims burn?"
"In fact, before I came to the interrogation room, I already had a vague answer in my mind, but after hearing your two confessions, I dared to completely confirm the answer in my heart, and then followed the clues and found the key evidence to catch the real murderer based on the murderer's killing method."
I have mentioned these two suspicious points about this case before. As for the method of murder in a closed room, after Officer Yang sent people to verify it, it has been proved that my previous speculation was completely correct. The murderer did not climb from the first floor to the top floor, but was hung from the top floor to the window of the deceased with a rope, because Officer Yang's men found traces of hemp rope binding on some railings and other places on the top floor of the two deceased's homes.
Now that we understand how the murderer entered the deceased's room, let's continue with this topic. We can see from the live videos of the two deceased that they first looked behind the screen, which was the position of their bedroom window, and their eyes suddenly changed. Then, as if they were too frightened, they lost the ability to resist, fell from their chairs to the ground, and then slowly backed away.
This situation really resembles the look and expression that can be displayed when fear reaches its extreme, but in my opinion, this situation may have another explanation!
The first thing the deceased saw did scare them, and their brains went blank for a short time. But they then fell to the ground and slowly backed away. I could understand that they had no strength to stand up and escape or resist, so they could only fall to the ground and slowly back away until they fainted on the spot. It looked like they were scared to death by something that suddenly appeared outside the window! If this is the understanding, then in my opinion, there is only one answer. When the murderer got into the deceased's home through the window, he used some kind of drug similar to ether to make the deceased lose the ability to resist until he lost consciousness.
When I told him that the deceased might have fainted due to the effects of drugs, rather than being frightened to death, Officer Yang was very surprised and immediately said, "But we have also seen the video. The murderer should not have had any contact with the deceased. How could he have used drugs to make the deceased unconscious?"
I smiled and said, "This problem has indeed been bothering us before, but until Xiaoxue said just now that she couldn't see the photo in my hand clearly due to the reflection, I realized that the murderer could have done this. If I'm not mistaken, he should have used some kind of spray-type drug, spraying the drug on the face of the deceased through the air, which is enough to do all this!"
After I discovered this, I watched the live videos of the two deceased again, and I found one thing we have never noticed, that is, in order to make each of them look better in the video, the two deceased added special effects and decorations to the video. Although the host's face looks very clear and beautiful, if you look closely, except for the host's face, everything around him is slightly blurred, and it is not so clear. In other words, if the murderer used some kind of spray drug to attack the host, perhaps ordinary people would not be able to see this spray on the mobile phone screen.
"This is just my guess. After all, I haven't broadcast live. But I think my guess is pretty close. This is the only way to explain why the video of the deceased before his death was so weird."
"Speaking of this, there is actually one thing that you, Officer Yang, have not noticed. That is, there is about two minutes of idle time between the time when the deceased fell into a coma and when his body caught fire. During this time, what exactly was the murderer doing? I think you have never thought about it, right?"
Officer Yang sighed and said, "Indeed, when I watched the video, I only focused on the changes in the deceased and did not notice this. So what do you think the murderer was doing during this period of time?"
"If you ask me, the murderer must have used some method to kill the deceased during this period of time!"
Officer Yang said that the autopsy work here has been temporarily handed over to the doctors in the hospital. Although doctors can cure diseases and save lives, and are familiar with the structure of the human body, they cannot be considered professional forensic doctors after all. Therefore, there will be some deviations in the autopsy results obtained by them. Therefore, the doctor's autopsy said that the deceased had abnormal adrenaline secretion before his death and was likely to have been frightened to death on the spot. I never believed this from the beginning to the end.
After all, as Officer Yang said, the doctor could not be sure about this either, because if the deceased was frightened before his death and did not die from the fright, adrenaline would still be secreted abnormally, but it would not be the root cause of death. Therefore, I think this statement can be truly considered a valid one.
Of course, Officer Yang later said that the deceased died first and then his body was burned by the fire, because no ash or other things were found in the mouth, nose and chest of the deceased, so the deceased was not burned to death. The explanation for this point requires the kind of conjecture I am talking about now.
The murderer also wanted to use the live broadcast software to make this murder case look like a supernatural event, so he naturally thought that if the deceased did not inhale any foreign matter such as ashes into the chest cavity after death, he would be judged as dead and then burned (this plot has been played out to death in TV dramas, and it is no secret to ordinary people), so before the deceased fell into a coma, he helped the deceased fix the angle of the phone with the back of the lens of the phone in the deceased's hand, aiming only at the deceased's face, and then may have killed the deceased with something like a dagger, or perhaps stabbed the deceased in the heart. Afterwards, Officer Yang also said that the deceased's body was burned like this, and it was impossible to tell whether there were any external injuries.
After killing the victim, the murderer smeared some flammable materials below the victim's head, and then sprinkled some highly flammable items on the victim's face, such as white phosphorus. Due to the blurred background of the mobile phone, we still cannot see these small movements. Finally, the murderer ignited the flammable materials on the victim's body, and the moment the flame ignited, the white phosphorus on the victim's face would burn first, creating the illusion that the flames on the victim's body started burning from the face, which would make people regard this murder as a supernatural event.
When I said this, Lin Yingxue and Officer Yang looked confused the whole time, as if they didn't understand what I said. But I didn't care and smiled, "Although these are just my guesses, they can explain the strangeness of this case. In short, the murderer killed people like this, watched the phone burn, locked the window, and then went out through the front door and left openly."
"After talking about the murderer's method of killing, let's talk about who the murderer is. In fact, the three people we suspect now, the two in front of us and Taoist Lin, are all very likely from the perspective of the time of the crime, but one of them has something that the other two don't have, that is, the motive for murder!"
Seeing that I was finally willing to tell him who the murderer was, Officer Yang, who had been confused the whole time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "What's the motive?"
"Speaking of motive, let's talk about another thing first. What did the shocked and terrified expressions on the faces of the two victims after they saw the murderer mean? If they simply saw someone sneaking in through the window, I think although they would be scared, they would definitely not be in a state of mind blankness like in the video. At least they would say something cruel to boost their courage, or use their mobile phones to record the appearance of the person who broke into their home. So I think that either what they saw was very scary, or what they saw touched a certain weakness in their hearts, so that if they don't do bad things during the day, they won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on their doors at night!"
Having said that, my eyes swept over the two suspects in front of me. When the young man met my gaze, he immediately lowered his head in fear, as if he was afraid that I would suddenly suspect him. The middle-aged man remained sitting upright on the sofa, as if what was happening now had nothing to do with him at all.
"In my opinion, there are both reasons. The murderer must have looked very scary, so he scared the two victims when he showed up in the middle of the night. Moreover, the two victims must have recognized the murderer's true identity and remembered something they had done wrong. The combination of the two made them look like that. If you ask me, you are the only one who can do both at the same time, right? Mr. Murderer!"
I looked fearlessly at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. I could clearly feel that when I said this, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly became extremely cold. The two police officers standing next to him also realized that the real murderer this time was this person. They immediately pressed the middle-aged man on the sofa, unable to move at all.
