Sheti City
"The case took place on the top floor of Tianyun Hotel. The cause of death was a fall from a high altitude. Before and after death, she had contact with four suspects, three men and one woman. The deceased was the president of a loan company. It is said that she had a shady background and was the creditor of all the suspects. So there is no lack of motive for murder."
“But the question is how?”
"There is no evidence."
"There is no surveillance in the room."
"There is nothing wrong with the corridor alone, and the victim fell after all the suspects left the room, but we cannot rule out the use of mechanical devices. And because the victim's body was severely damaged, the real cause of death was also covered up, making it even more difficult to analyze anything..."
"Damn it!"
Brother Ferris Wheel threw the file in his hand directly onto the table and rubbed his eyebrows hard.
He is not a detective.
Although it cannot be said that he is not good at reasoning, his main job is a psychologist. How could he always focus on solving cases? In comparison, Fireworks Is Easy to Cool is much more capable, and Watson is also very good. The only one who seems to be similar to him is Tianxia Wudi.
but... ..
“We can’t just sit there and wait for death.”
"I won't be able to pass this level."
Ferris took a deep breath and then stood up from his position.
And at the same time.
In Shen District, Sheti City, the boxing gym where the crime occurred has been completely blocked.
"There were three dead people in total. Their bodies were dismembered and thrown in various corners of the boxing gym. There were hands, feet, heads, torsos, a total of 18 locations. Why did they dismember the bodies? Was there such a big grudge between them and the dead? Or were they simply trying to hinder the investigation..."
"Can you please help me retrieve the surveillance video again?"
“I want to watch it again.”
"sure."
After getting approval, Tianxia Wudi sat in the monitoring room and continued to watch the surveillance video, holding the report on the corpse in his hand.
"Has all the blood in the body been drained?"
"Not only did they cut up the body, but they also drained all the blood. Was it to prevent the formation of livor mortis and thus blur the time of death?"
After a person dies, the blood circulation in the body will stop, and the blood that is no longer circulating will slowly settle, eventually forming spots or mesh-like marks on the skin surface. As time goes by, these corpse spots will become more and more obvious, making it easy to determine the time of death.
"But why do that?"
Tianxia Wudi frowned and looked carefully at the file in his hand, occasionally glancing at the surveillance screen with his peripheral vision. This time he expanded the time range and started looking at the surveillance screens of the boxing gym within the past ten days.
As a top student, Tianxia Wudi is naturally talented. With his extraordinary memory, he scanned the images in the surveillance video at a rapid speed.
Figures appeared and disappeared in the boxing gym, were listed as suspects, and then excluded.
And I don't know when.
Tianxia Wudi was the only one left in the entire monitoring room.
"... .stop!"
Suddenly, Tianxia Wudi leaned forward, clenched his fist and hit the pause button hard, and the picture on a surveillance screen suddenly stopped.
"... No way."
Looking at the familiar figure on the screen, Tianxia Wudi frowned even deeper.
"Why is he here?"
“It shouldn’t be like that.”
Tianxia Wudi sat back in his original seat and looked at the figure on the screen. The other person was holding a huge shoulder bag in his hand.
"Separated bodies, drained blood, and unclear time of death."
"If it's such a big bag..."
Tian Xia Wu Di gestured at the screen, his expression gradually becoming strange: "Indeed, if it is a dismembered body, then it will be enough to put it down."
"But why do that?"
"With a corpse like this.....I see! No wonder we can't find the suspect, because the suspect has become a corpse!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"If it was used to transport corpses, then it means that one of the three dead was killed by him in advance, and then put in a bag and transported to the boxing gym. He disguised himself as the murdered person and met the other two dead people, and then killed them one by one!"
"The victims were killed with their faces on their backs. That's why the surveillance video showed no abnormalities. The ambiguity of the time of death and the dismemberment of the body were all intended to make the investigation more difficult. But if we insist on investigating from this angle, we will only find that the suspect is the deceased himself."
“This is a dead end.”
Tianxia Wudi muttered to himself excitedly, his eyes fixed on the monitoring screen, but he was completely unaware that the door of the monitoring room behind him had been quietly opened.
"But this method is also flawed. Although the surveillance video can confuse the police, if the method is discovered, the surveillance video will become the biggest evidence..."
A figure silently walked into the monitoring room, holding a roll of thick hemp rope in his hand. He moved gently and approached the direction of Tianxia Wudi little by little.
"... No, if it was him, there is a way to destroy the evidence. We just need to cut out this short clip and pretend it never happened."
"But why didn't he know that?"
"... I see! Is this the game that mysterious person told me about?"
“That’s how it is!”
"So... .. Ugh!!!"
The invincible voice suddenly stopped!
The figure who had been moving at all suddenly jumped out like a cheetah, and the hemp rope in his hand was directly put around Tianxia Wudi's neck. Then he pushed the chair where Tianxia Wudi was sitting hard and pushed him directly in front of the table in the monitoring room. The table and the chair clamped Tianxia Wudi's body, making him unable to get up.
"Ugh! Ah! Gah...!"
Without any pause, the prisoner lowered his body and sat behind Tianxia Wudi with his back against the chair. He gripped the hemp rope with increasing force, leaving distinct marks on Tianxia Wudi's neck. Tianxia Wudi tried hard to pull the hemp rope apart, and there were protruding veins on his neck and hands.
Who?! Who suddenly attacked me
You know, this is the crime scene!
How could someone sneak into the monitoring room when there are so many police officers here
Tianxia Wudi's arms were waving wildly, his brain's thinking began to slow down, he opened his mouth hard to take a deep breath, but he couldn't inhale even a trace of air. The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense, and his vision began to become blurred, and finally he couldn't even make a sound.
In a panic, he pulled out the Beretta pistol from his waist and tried desperately to shoot behind him, but the prisoner curled up behind a chair and the bullet could not hit him at all. As time passed, Tianxia Wudi felt his hands and feet getting cold and his whole body began to become weak.
Boom! The Beretta in his hand fell to the ground, and Tianxia Wudi's last resistance collapsed.
This moment.
At the critical moment of life and death, Tianxia Wudi suddenly became more sober than ever before, and his originally dilated pupils instantly shrank.
Who can enter and leave the monitoring room at will
Who wouldn't be noticed by the police
Who is it
There is only one answer.
"... .!... .!!...... ..!!!"
Tianxia Wudi raised his knees and slammed them against the table in the monitoring room. He leaned back desperately and squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body. Only then did the restraint on his neck loosen slightly for less than a second. At this moment, he hoarsely uttered an extremely weak cry:
"It's....you....!!!"
Bang!
