Suspect No. 9: [Thai] Linnale (character identity: famous singer)
The search results are as follows:
On the wall were posters of herself, with titles like "Asia's No. 1 Female Singer" and "Forever Red Rose," a box of music tapes, a closet of gorgeous clothes, and on the bedside table were photos of her and Dan at a birthday party.
A scrapbook, on which were carefully arranged comments from newspapers of various countries about him, covering most of his life: he was born in a poor family, his father died early, his mother remarried, he participated in a music contest at the age of twelve or thirteen, and ventured into the music industry. He sang many well-known songs, but due to deliberate inducement, he became addicted to alcohol, his voice was damaged, his liver was not good, and his life fell to the bottom.
However, ten years later, she not only quit drinking, but also returned to the music scene and reached the peak again.
"What a legendary life." Jian Jing said.
Park Min-chul: "It seems that there is nothing wrong, except for the 30-year-old obstacle. Who made you become like this?"
Linnaier said: "It's my rival, Yumeng."
"Miss Yu?" they said in unison.
“Are you competitors?”
"She is my opponent." Linnale answered in the affirmative.
Kojima Wataru asked: "How is Miss Yu now?"
Linna: “Damn it.”
"Who helped you get rid of your alcohol addiction?" Jian Jing was curious, "Ishikawa or Dan?"
“They all helped me,” Linnell said.
Jian Jing seemed to be thinking: "Mr. Ishikawa, it's your turn."
Suspect No. 14: [Japanese] Ishikawa Keito (role: Dan’s friend)
There are a large number of books in the room, and many of the items have the logo of xx University on them, as well as a library loan certificate that states that he is a professor of folklore at xx University.
He has published a number of books, such as "The Spiritual Influence of Witchcraft on Southeast Asia", "Evil Spirits Are Everywhere", and "The Century-Old Influence of Superstition on the Family".
The wardrobe is very exquisite, with expensive watches and belts.
There was a precious photo hidden in his wallet. It was a photo of him and Linelle. It was incomplete and there seemed to be traces of being cut off on the sides.
"'You' have a crush on Linna." Terauchi Hisako said.
Jin Lan'er: "Linnai likes Mr. Dan, right? Hey, you and Yumeng are rivals, is it related to Dan? Jane can't be the fourth child of the same father but different mothers."
Jian Jing glanced at her and thought: It seems like she has acted in many Korean dramas.
Ishikawa said: "I do have good feelings towards Linna."
“Dan helped me a lot when I first started out,” Linnell said. “Now, I just consider him a good friend.”
Finally, what's left is the young wife and wife's sister combination.
Suspect No. 6: [Japanese] Terauchi Hisako (role: wife)
The search results are as follows:
There were countless luxurious jewels and expensive dresses in the room. In the drawer, there was a stack of cash randomly stuffed there, and there were also a lot of fashion magazines and letters.
There are several similar medical examination reports in the drawer, about one every six months, all of which are for checking whether the woman is pregnant.
There were a few strange pieces of paper hidden under the mattress. They were said to be letters, but they had no heading or signature. The content was also very strange, full of a romantic and hazy tone - "When my house is decorated, the flute is playing, and the laughter is loud, let me always feel that I haven't invited you yet."
"I was the one who searched Miss Terauchi's room," Jian Jing said. "In addition to the above items, I also found some burnt paper in the flower pot on the balcony."
She pressed the page turner, and the photos she had taken to preserve evidence appeared on the big screen.
"I'm curious about what's in the paper, so I'd like to burn it again." She played a video that showed a flash of the scene of burnt paper being re-lit by a candle.
Wataru Kojima: "Murder on the Orient Express."
"The answer is correct, but no extra points will be given." Jian Jing froze the video so that everyone could see the words clearly.
Dear, that old man is dead...
Terauchi Hisako exclaimed and said with a wry smile: "This, you are really amazing."
"You have a lover, and you either plan to kill someone or know someone is going to kill someone." Jian Jing said, "But to be honest, who doesn't have a motive to kill? What makes me more curious is the secret room in the cloakroom. Sorry, the marks on the floor are a bit obvious. Wooden floors are just so hard to maintain."
She complained in a Versailles way and got to the point: "This is a Buddhist shrine, and you are secretly worshipping a Buddha statue."
Terauchi Hisako showed a helpless look and could only admit: "Yes."
Kojima Wataru seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Jian Jing interrupted him: "After listening to the last speaker, let's make a summary."
He nodded silently.
Suspect No. 8: [Korean] Jin Laner (role: wife and younger sister)
There are lots of luxurious dresses, and the walls are covered with posters of celebrities, all of whom are popular actresses in the 1980s. The books are "How to Become an Actor", "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", "You Don't Know Hollywood", etc.
There were some letters from various film companies, some were rejections, some were notifications, and some were invitations to events from fashion magazines.
The wallet is empty and there is only a pitifully low amount of money in the passbook.
There is a "date" written on the calendar, but the date is different for each person, and there is a big red cross on each page with a red pen.
"A girl who aspires to be in Hollywood," Valeria concluded.
Jin Lan wrinkled her nose, looking cute: "She is also a girl who hates kissing."
Perhaps this topic could easily resonate with people, and Zhang Xueer, who is not very talkative, also spoke up: "Who forced you to kiss?"
Jin Lan'er: "Of course it's my brother-in-law. He hopes that I can marry the younger generation he likes."
"Isn't this your motive for murder?" Liu Xiuzhi joked.
"you guess."
Park Min-chul flipped through his notebook and said, "At present, some people have obvious motives for murder, while others are still unclear. Let me summarize the results of the investigation on each person:
"The wife seems to have a lover, and we cannot rule out the possibility that she killed her husband to seize the inheritance and be with her lover; the wife's sister yearns for the entertainment industry and hates the relatives arranged by the death.
"The eldest son and his wife have never had children. Dan seems to want to modify his will. The husband has a lover outside and has a suspected child. He did a DNA test, but the result was unclear. The eldest daughter-in-law has been praying to the gods and taking medicine.
"The second daughter is pregnant and values the child very much. She also knows that the eldest son and his wife are infertile. The son-in-law is heavily in debt and needs money very much. He also has a secret.
"The third son has many conflicts with his father because of his mother's death and wants to take revenge on his father; his fiancée is materialistic and promiscuous and seems to have little affection for her fiancé. His background is unknown and she deliberately conceals her origins.
"My brother-in-law is a lawyer. His career and finances are not going well. He is in urgent need of money. He also has a seriously ill child who needs treatment. My nephew is very good and has always been jealous of Dan's two sons. He secretly recorded the conversation with unknown intentions. He hopes to become Dan's heir.
"My brother-in-law is a gambler and asked the deceased for money several times, but the result was not satisfactory. My nephew is a photography enthusiast and his financial situation is not good, but no abnormality was found.
"Dan's good friend Ishikawa had a crush on another friend, Linnai. Linnai liked Dan, but they didn't get together. Because of Yumeng's frame-up, her career fell into a slump. The doctor's father was a good friend of Dan, Ishikawa, and Linnai. There seems to be something wrong with the cause of his death. I guess it might be related to Dan. The doctor wants to investigate the situation back then."
Park Min-chul finished his summary.
Li Kangna added: "I believe that the motives for the murders of my wife, three children, brother-in-law and his son, and brother-in-law are all related to money, that is, the issue of inheritance and heirs. The situation of the two good friends and their children is unclear, including the fiancée. Perhaps it involves the grievances of the previous generation, that is, revenge."
"Money and revenge are the eternal themes of murder." Terauchi Hisako sighed, "It's so complicated."
"No." Kojima Shigeru said, "There is another key, witchcraft. Many people's rooms have things related to witchcraft, such as Buddha statues, notebooks, candles, amulets, paper dolls..."
"Indeed." Ishikawa thought for a moment and agreed, "In addition to the clues that have been discovered, there are deeper undercurrents underneath. Behind the mask, there is still a layer of fog."
Kojima Wataru nodded and looked at Jian Jing: "Miss Jian, do you have anything to add?"
Jian Jing said: "Although everyone has more or less clues, to put it bluntly, everyone has a motive to kill, it's not a question of urgency or not."
He nodded in agreement: "There are three main points in reasoning: why, who, and how. Are you more concerned about how?"
"This is a dead body," she said.
Kojima Wataru said: "Indeed, it is important to know why the murderer cut off the victim's head."
"Has the autopsy report come out yet?"
"Just came out." The tool man Raji took the small slip and began to read the results. "The deceased's body has no obvious scars, the blood is dark red, the internal organs are congested, the lungs are edematous, and the urine is discharged. The preliminary judgment is that the cause of death is suffocation."
"asphyxia?"
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
Jian Jing immediately asked: "Is the death pill a pill?"
"Based on the comparison of fingerprints and physical characteristics, the deceased is Dan," Raj replied.
"What about the time of death?" Jian Jing asked.
"Between 11pm and 2am last night."
"I have a question." Zhang Xueer raised her hand and asked, "You just said that the person died of suffocation, so why did they still have to chop off his head?"
Kojima said: "There are many possibilities. The most classic one is that the identities of the perpetrator and the victim are swapped. In this case, we can identify the victim through fingerprints. The murderer must have a more necessary reason to do this."
"For example?"
Jian Jing gave an example: "If there is something on the head, it will directly betray the identity of the dead person."
"What could be on the head? Hairstyle?" Jiang Baiyan had a lot of question marks on his face.
She said: "The victim died of suffocation, and there are many ways to suffocate, such as death from disease, drowning, choking, suffocation, strangulation, hanging... Assuming that the victim was suffocated, the murder weapon might be some special item, such as a shawl that only someone has. The murderer might be afraid of leaving clues on the victim's mouth and nose, so he chose to cut off his head and take it away."
"The head was cut off with a fruit knife from the kitchen, and the cut surface is rough and blurry." Kojima added, "It is also possible that the neck was damaged - because the murderer left a special mark when strangling Dan."
He paused, and then continued: "We can't rule out the possibility that the murderer hated death and had to behead him. This might be a ritual."
This time it was Jian Jing's turn to add his point of view: "In different cultures, beheading has different symbols: the honor of victory, the punishment of crime, a little superstitious, to prevent the dead from resurrecting, or a little sci-fi, beheading can really kill him."
Li Kangna: "... Are you talking about zombies?"
"The concept of zombies originated from voodoo," said Kojima. "Of course, there is no more concrete evidence now, so it's just speculation. But I think we can't limit ourselves to a certain idea."
"Yes, and there is another interpretation of the headless corpse. The death was suicide, and someone disguised it as homicide. The murderer wanted to create a serial murder case and used this case as a cover." Jian Jing said, "It's too early to draw a conclusion now."
Everyone: “…”
So what do you mean
