Chapter 13 The Mystery of the Chamber of Secrets

"Killing is not like long-distance running or riding a bicycle, and there is no such thing as preserving physical strength. // Visit to download the txt novel //. Unless the murderer is a prolific murderer, an experienced professional assassin who can accurately grasp the proportion of the attack and control all aspects of the target.

This kind of reaction requires sufficient psychological preparation... Otherwise, the perpetrator will definitely go all out and tighten the target with the greatest strength until the victim completely loses resistance." Feng Bujue explained, "Then, the murderer's palm will also

It is bound to leave some cuts or bruises." He gestured with his hand, "The location of the injury should be roughly on the edge of the palm, below the base of the little finger. Even if you wrap the steel wire around the hand a few times in advance to increase the strength of the palm,

The force-bearing area, during the actual attack, most of the force will still be borne by this part."

"Then this case is solved, isn't it?" Schofield said excitedly, "Forget about the secret room, Dumpdy, hurry up and gather everyone in this villa and check their hands..."

"Don't worry yet, detective." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party in a feeble tone, "Don't forget the premise I said...'if protective measures are not taken.'" He shrugged, "As long as the murderer

Wearing a pair of slightly thicker gloves can solve this problem. Moreover, if the gloves are long enough, the probability of scratches on the hands and forearms by the deceased will also be greatly reduced."

This basin of cold water immediately extinguished the exciting light in the eyes of Scofield and Dumpty.

"But your idea is right." Feng Bujue said, "The inspection still needs to be done, but we have to be clear that even if there is no injury on the hand, it may not prove that someone is not the murderer." He also added,

"In addition, you have also seen that the deceased bled a lot of blood, and his hands were also stained with a lot of blood. If the murderer did not wear gloves, his/her hands were likely to be stained with a lot of blood, and then he/she would have died when he/she escaped.

There will be bloody fingerprints everywhere. Of course... although I think this may not be a big name... I can't rule out that the murderer went to the bathroom to wash his hands before escaping."

Schofield nodded and said: "Well...then, in addition to the murder weapon, what we also need to pay attention to now is a pair of bloody gloves."

"It's impossible to find it." Feng Bujue revealed another piece of bad news.

"Ah? What did you say?" Schofield asked suspiciously.

Feng Bujue replied directly: "After the murderer finished killing the people and arranged the room into a secret room, the location he/she was in was outside the window...that is, outside the villa. He/she only had to walk a short distance and point the murder weapon and gloves towards the valley.

If you hit it...who can find it?"

"Uh..." Schofield didn't dare to answer any more. The famous detective in front of him could point out a clue as soon as he opened his mouth, but within two sentences, he would cut off the clue again.

Feng Bujue had already turned around and walked towards the door, "When I was investigating the crime scene before, I checked it very carefully...except around the body, the only blood stain I could find was the very light stain on the window sill.

Blood stains. So... my guess is as follows..." When he said this, he had already arrived at the door of the room, locked the door of the guest room, and continued, "After the murderer finished killing the person, he first wiped the murder weapon.

Wipe off the blood on the line as much as possible and put it aside for later use. Then, he/she takes off his/her gloves, turns them inside out and pinches them into a ball, and puts them aside for the time being. Then, the murderer comes over and locks the door.

Of course, I think there is more than a 70% chance that when the murderer committed the murder, the door was already locked."

Brother Jue said, then turned back and walked towards the window, "After making sure that the door was locked from the inside, the murderer took his gloves and came to the window and tied the steel wire to the window."

Suddenly, Feng Bujue stopped in front of the window, with a confused look on his face, "Uh... two police officers, which one of you knows how to tie a slipknot?"

This guy's weakness in knitting has been exposed again... although it doesn't matter.

"Well... what kind of slip knot do you need?" Dumpty came over and asked.

"What... are there so many ways to play..." Feng Bujue's expression was as dull as ever before, because the conversation had entered an area that was like a blind spot for him...

"That's right." Dumpty lifted his police hat with his hand and scratched his hair. "I have an uncle who is a sailor. He taught me many kinds of knots when I was young, such as the double bar knot, the fisherman's knot, the shrink knot, and the splice knot.

, Eight-character knot..."

At this moment, Brother Jue looked at the other person as if he was saying - "So you are the legendary super high school-level knot tyer who has broken through the art of tying shoelaces."

"Anyway..." Feng Bujue simply changed the subject, "If you listen to me, you should know what the end is."

The window of this room is a traditional casement window. There is a rake-shaped window latch at the middle end of the left and right window leaves. Feng Bujue pointed to the handle of one of the window latch and said, "The murderer is

One end of the steel wire is tied to the handle. Then he/she rolls out of the house, first closes the window on the other side, and inserts the window bolt. Then, keep the window bolt horizontally

, slowly close it from the outside."

"Oh! I understand." Hearing this, Dumpty already knew what Feng Bujue meant. He took the string from Brother Jue's hand, tied it to the handle of the window latch three times, five divided by two, and then

He quickly turned to the window, holding the other end of the steel wire in one hand, and slowly closed the window with the other hand. Then, he pulled the steel wire out from the crack in the window.

"Yes, that's it..." Feng Bujue said to Schofield beside him, "Look, the position of the thread must be stuck in the gap at the lower edge of the window, so that when the murderer pulls the thread, the window latch will be

Turn it down until it is in place.”

Scofield also understood when he saw this, "When the window latch is inserted, it will be in an upright state. If you continue to pull, the knotted ring of the steel wire will fall off from the end of the latch handle. At this time, the slip knot will unravel,

Then in the end, you just need to pull the thread out." He pointed to the window edge, "During this process, due to friction, the thread body left blood marks on the window edge."

"Yes, although the murderer has wiped the blood on the murder weapon to prevent the design from being exposed, it is still very difficult to leave no traces." Feng Bujue continued, "After killing someone, most people will think about it.

Escape the scene as soon as possible." As Brother Jue said, he opened the window, pulled Dumpdy's hand, and helped him crawl back into the house. "Although the murderer in this case had a plan in advance, when it came time to implement it, his mentality would not be the same.

There is a big difference between ordinary people."

Feng Bujue left the window and walked around the room and said: "If he/she had prepared another steel wire in advance specifically for layout, or went to the bathroom to carefully clean the murder weapon with water after the murder...

Then it may be more difficult for us to crack this secret room."

"Normally no one would do this..." Schofield continued.

"Haha..." Feng Bujue smiled. This laugh was so meaningful that it made the two police officers' hair stand on end.

"Okay, the basic techniques of murder are now clear." Brother Jue stretched and winked at the door, "Next... let's go talk to the suspects in this case." (
