Chapter 14 The famous detective Huang Donglai (Part 2)
Under the leadership of Zhou Wu, Sun and Huang soon arrived at He Da's room.
He Da's body is still in the same state as when it was first discovered, lying on his back on the ground, his face black and purple, and his eyes still closed.
This was not the first time for Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie to see a dead person. They had also seen people with more miserable deaths than this, so they had no psychological barriers. After entering the room, the two of them imitated what they had seen in various modern film and television works.
Using detective techniques, I began to look around the house...from the inconspicuous footprints on the floor, to the state of the door lock, to whether there was anything under the bed and furniture, and finally to the posture and position of the deceased, etc.
After looking around, the two exchanged glances, and immediately got a message from each other's eyes - even this guy didn't even notice it.
Yes, this is normal.
Do you think that a person without any professional criminal investigation training can discover something by going to a crime scene and imitating the detective thinking in novels or movies?
If you think too much, you won't even realize it.
In fact, even if you have professional training, you may not be able to discover anything.
The vast majority of murder cases in the world are not solved because a detective was at the scene to deduce the method of committing the crime through various clues and dead evidence, but because the murderer is too stupid, the murderer left very obvious traces, and the murderer covered up the crime.
The method was too cunning and the murderer's motive was too obvious.
The kind of cases in novels where the plan is sufficient, the techniques are clever, the execution is perfect, and the murderer's psychological quality is extremely high, I am afraid that in reality, less than 1% of the cases occur.
Besides, Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie were not detectives in the first place and could not detect cases; the kind of tough men who could detect cases did not have Dong in their names, only Nan.
So in the end, Huang Donglai could only do what Zhou Wu asked him to do - see what kind of poison He Da was poisoned with.
"The one he got... is called 'Three Steps of Soul-Severing', which is a relatively rare poison in the world." Huang Donglai briefly inspected He Da's body and came to the conclusion, "This kind of poison can make people...
In fact, there are not many... people from all over the country know it, and it is not a secret recipe; the reason why it is rare is just because the preparation process is relatively complicated and the materials are relatively expensive. If there is a slight mistake, the preparation will fail; as for its characteristics... except
In addition to being colorless and odorless, the poison does not occur immediately after a person eats it. Generally, the poison does not occur until the person gets up and walks around, or when the Qi and blood flow due to some kind of exercise, hence the name 'Three Steps to Destroy the Soul'.
"
"Oh~ It's okay, Brother Huang, what you said is very clear." Sun Yixie heard this and immediately complimented his brother.
"That's..." Huang Donglai raised his chin and said proudly, "Brother, it's not in vain that I have learned it all these years."
In the field of poison science, Huang Donglai is indeed quite accomplished. After all, this is their Huang Clan's specialty; basically, as long as there are poisons that have appeared in the world and have a certain degree of recognition, he can quickly distinguish them.
.
"Hiss - that's weird." On the other side, after hearing this, Zhou Wu frowned and thought deeply, "Why would someone give a little guy like He Da the poison of 'Three Steps to Destroy the Soul'?
?”
"Of course that means something happened to him, and someone is trying to silence him." Sun Yixie was very keen on this matter, and he revealed the truth almost without thinking.
"Oh?" Zhou Wudao said, "Could it be that the 'thing' that Sun Xiandi mentioned is..."
"Of course it's the matter in the Zeng Mansion." Sun Yixie replied.
Zhou Wu also understood what Sun Yixie meant, and he continued: "You mean... there is another hidden story behind the 'haunting' of Zeng Mansion?"
"What kind of ghosts are there in this world?" Sun Yixie continued in a matter-of-fact tone, "Whether it's so-called haunted or that glass fish, there must be someone behind it to cover up their true intentions."
"Eh?" At this moment, Huang Donglai's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "Brother Sun, when you say that... I seem to understand."
In their original universe, both of them were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze. Naturally, they are both staunch materialists, so they can quickly follow each other's ideas.
"What do you know?" Sun Yixie said.
"This is the kind of routine where one kills people in a row just to cover up one murder, right?" Huang Donglai said.
When Sun Yixie heard this, he immediately became thoughtful, while Zhou Wu looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if to indicate to him to continue.
Huang Donglai also collected his thoughts again, and then said: "For example...the murderer behind this case actually only wanted to kill the second lady of Zeng Mansion, but he was afraid that killing only this one would
was found out, so he planned these glass fish in advance to be haunted and killed two unrelated people. When everyone thought it was haunted, he killed the second lady.
, so that everyone will think that the second wife’s death was also due to haunting, and will not think about the murder... As for how big this is, maybe she was silenced because she knew too much."
"Oh!" After hearing this, Sun Yixie patted Huang Donglai on the shoulder, "Brother Huang has strength, have you deduced all this?"
"Hey~ It's not a big deal." Huang Donglai said, "I can see through this trick after just a little thought."
Perhaps it is not difficult for the two of them, who have read many modern detective works, to think of and understand this method, but for Zhou Wu, this is an unusual theory, and... it does make sense.
"Ah! Huang Xiandi's words gave Zhou a sudden enlightenment!" Zhou Wu suddenly realized it and praised loudly, "The two Xiandi brothers are very talented. Zhou admires them. If it were only Foolish Brother... I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of it..."
"Hey, Brother Zhou, you're welcome. My two brothers are just a little clever." Huang Donglai said very modestly, but his and Sun Yixie's faces were almost beaming with pride, "In my opinion,
At the moment, we should start with the case of He Da. We should first interrogate the clerks and shopkeepers in the store, and check their kitchens to see how the 'Three Steps of Soul Severing' got to He Da.
Don’t worry about what’s in your diet.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh! That's right." Zhou Wujing reminded him, and immediately summoned his men to launch further investigation.
Unfortunately, things didn't go so smoothly...
The waiters and shopkeepers in this inn obviously knew nothing about the poison, and they didn't find any problems in the kitchen or the place where tea was boiled. In the end, Huang Donglai used the silver needle he carried to find the poison from the teapot in He Da's room.
location.
According to Huang Donglai's speculation, the murderer either sneaked into He Da's room and poisoned him while He Da was away, or he knocked on the door normally and entered, and secretly put the poison into the teapot while communicating with He Da.
In those days, there was no surveillance or anything like that. There were so many people coming and going in the inn every day. It was impossible for the waiter to remember everyone, and the guests would not pay attention to them, so I wanted to advance the case through on-site interrogation.
, I’m afraid it’s difficult.
The He Da line is considered broken for the time being.
If you want to find out the truth of the whole thing, you still have to go back... and start from the Zeng Mansion.
Under Zhou Wu's repeated requests, Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie finally couldn't save face and agreed to postpone their trip and spend a few days to help him investigate the case again; however, they also made it clear that if nothing could be found after a few days,
As a result, it was inconvenient for them to stay. After all, the Young Heroes Association was also very important.
But, then there was another problem before them - if they wanted to enter the Zeng Mansion to investigate the case, they had to have an explanation.
With the power of the Zeng family, even if Zhou Wu, the head catcher, comes to the house to do business, he can't just get in, let alone Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, two nosy people.
Fortunately, Sun Yixie was full of crooked ideas, so he quickly thought of a way...
Don't your Zeng family feel that there is a ghost in their place? Then we will pretend to be Taoist priests and use the above-mentioned methods to exorcise ghosts. We will let Zhou Wu be responsible for the introduction and sneak into the Zeng family to investigate the case.
He had already thought of the name for Brother Huang, so he called him - Xudong Laoxian.
