Chapter 16 Restoring the crime scene

Beiyang Mountain Resort, Villa No. 8.

Wen Sibao finally suppressed Li Xianglan's attack on the police, and then entrusted friends from the nursing brigade to temporarily lock her in a detention room to prevent the other party from making any more drastic actions.

When several people returned to the crime scene, Wen Sibao removed the seal on the door, and a gloomy, damp and cold air hit their faces.

Xu Tiannan took out the floor plan of the villa. On it were several marks added by Li Mengxue, marking the movements of the size 37 slippers at the scene of the crime, as well as the location of the fingerprints of the deceased in the room.

The movement trajectory of the slippers is not complicated. There are several round trips from downstairs to upstairs, and there are also several trajectories pacing back and forth in the living room on the first floor. It can be seen that the deceased's psychological activity was very contradictory and anxious at that time. He was in a fixed position.

Going back and forth between several areas is basically consistent with a person's psychological struggle before committing suicide.

Wen Sibao first asked: "Tiannan, this villa has been inspected many times by the forensic team. All the disposable items in the house are intact. I really think there are no clues to investigate."

"What do you think?" Xu Tiannan asked Murong Shui.

Murong Shui thought for a while and replied: "Since the items in the house are basically intact and there are no fingerprints other than the deceased, I think that regardless of whether Li Xiangqin was killed by Chen Jialuo or not, when she died, there were

There must be no one else."

Xu Tiannan seemed to be very interested in what Murong Shui said, so he added, "Let's talk about it in detail."

Murong Shui seemed to feel the other party's affirmation, so she couldn't help but feel proud in her heart. She first walked back and forth according to the footprints shown in the picture, and explained: "According to the picture, the deceased walked back and forth with several people upstairs and downstairs.

I think the pacing footprints can just show that Li Xiangqin was waiting for Chen Jialuo to come back, and it also reflects that she was very tormented in her heart."

After finishing speaking, Murong Shui went to the balcony on the second floor and continued to explain: "There are also fingerprints of the deceased on the guardrail of the balcony, which shows that the deceased was depressed at the time. He stood on the balcony on the second floor and looked into the distance. Generally, people who are thinking about something will do this.

Do something like this!”

"Then here." Murong Shui went to the bathroom again and explained: "In the bathroom, only the knob of the toilet has the thumbprint of the deceased, which is basically in line with a person's habit of flushing after going to the bathroom."

Finally, Murong Shui led several people to the large bedroom on the second floor, which was the scene of Li Xiangqin's final death. In the bedroom, there were several fingerprints attached to varying degrees on the edge of the bed, the bedside table and the glass water glass.

Murong Shui explained: "This is the place where Li Xiangqin finally died. It was also here that she drank an excessive amount of IV-hydroxybutyric acid, causing respiratory obstruction and death. So what we need to verify now is what exactly Chen Jialuo used

In this way, you can prevent her from entering the house and commit suicide remotely? Could it be..."

Murong Shui said, his face suddenly darkened, and he said mysteriously: "It's a poison! Chen Jialuo must have made a request to do something embarrassing with Li Xiangqin at that time but was rejected. Therefore, Chen Jialuo, in anger, set a trap on the other party.

Some kind of poison, causing the other party to commit suicide by following your instructions!"

Xu Tiannan carefully recorded what Murong Shui said in a notebook, then turned to Wen Sibao and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"

Wen Sibao thought for a while and said: "I basically agree with Ah Shui. The most likely reason why Chen Jialuo brought Li Xiangqin here is to have that kind of relationship. With his character of a young man who has been pampered since childhood, once he is rejected

, it is inevitable that he will do some terrible things, so I agree with Chen Jialuo's view of taking revenge on the other party. But I think the possibility of being poisoned is unlikely. In my opinion... Chen Jialuo may have used the help of a certain hypnotist at that time.

power, exerting psychological hints on Li Xiangqin, forcing him to do something that would hurt him. And Li Xiangqin had left those lingering footprints on the first and second floors. I don’t think she was waiting for Chen Jialuo to come back, but because of the

She was in a confrontation between her self-awareness and external consciousness. In the end, her self-consciousness lost to the external consciousness, and her body swallowed poison uncontrollably and committed suicide."

After listening to the other party's analysis, Murong Shui suddenly raised his right hand and said to Wen Sibao: "Not bad! Wen Baobao, our ideas are roughly the same! Come on, give me five to my aunt!"

After the two of them reached out and high-fived each other in the air, they looked at Xu Tiannan and said in unison: "Well, what else do you have to add?"

Xu Tiannan rubbed the wound on his head and grinned in pain. After a long while, he slowly said: "You two are really grasshoppers of the same dimension."

"Ah?" Murong Shui didn't understand now and asked: "Boss, you...are you praising me or scolding me? Did I say something wrong somewhere?"

Xu Tiannan said: "With all due respect, none of the reasoning you two just made is correct."

"Don't talk." Xu Tiannan already knew that the other party would definitely argue after he said this, so he didn't give the other party a chance to speak. He took the two of them to the stairwell and took out a file from the forensic team.

The photo said: "This is the fingerprint on the light switch that Li Mengxue collected using magnetic painting. After comparison, it was confirmed that it is the fingerprint of Li Xiangqin's right hand. Take a closer look. Is there anything wrong?"

The two looked at it and shook their heads. Xu Tiannan used the same method and led several people to check the fingerprints left on common objects such as water glasses, medicines and door handles. Finally, he explained: "Have you discovered it? All the fingerprints left on it are

Although the fingerprints are all those of the deceased, they are all on the right hand!"

"Huh?" Wen Sibao was the first to react and asked: "Although the right hand is the dominant hand of most people, do you mean... Li Xiangqin is left-handed?"

Xu Tiannan took out several more photos of Li Xiangqin from the file. They were all detailed pictures of Li Mengxue's various parts of the body left before the forensic laboratory dissection. The explanations are as follows:

——"The metal hairpin on the hair is clamped on the hair from left to right."

——"The wear of the fingernails and cuff of the left hand is much greater than that of the right hand."

——"The fold marks on the left arm of the clothes are deeper than those on the right arm. When tying bow shoelaces, finish on the left side."

——"This is a photo with clothes removed before the autopsy. It can be seen that Li Xiangqin shaved the hair of both armpits that day. There was unshaving hair behind the left armpit, but the entire hair of the right armpit was shaved.

Very clean. Aren’t the above enough to prove the fact that Li Xiangqin is left-handed?"

After listening to this analysis, Wen Sibao suddenly fell silent. At the same time, he also realized that he had made a fatal mistake in this case, which was to believe too much in the evidence before him.

From the first day Li Mengxue entered the scene for investigation, he collected several clear fingerprints and footprints. It is precisely because of his years of experience in handling cases that Wen Sibao has developed a method of "believing in evidence", so he preconceptions

, taking it for granted that "this case is developing in such a direction", and thus did not fundamentally doubt whether all this was true "evidence"? Or was it misled by some powerful force?

At this time, Murong Shui still refused to give up and said stubbornly: "Then...even if she is left-handed, there is no guarantee that she will not use her right hand, right? Maybe her mind was so messed up at the time that she didn't even know what she was doing."

Xu Tiannan sighed softly: "I know you are a duck. If I say that all the fingerprints on these appliances were not printed by Li Xiangqin himself, do you want to see conclusive evidence?"

When the two heard this, they immediately said in unison: "Think!"

"follow me."

Xu Tiannan came to the large wooden table in the living room on the first floor, squatted down and looked levelly at the surface of the huge and heavy dining table and said: "This is the decisive evidence."

After finishing speaking, Xu Tiannan held the bottom of the table with one hand and said in a deep voice with a very handsome posture: "There is only one truth, and the evidence is right in front of you! Watch it!"

A few seconds later, Wen Sibao and Murong Shui looked at the dining table in front of them eagerly, but for some reason the dining table did not move at all. They could only hear Xu Tiannan's intermittent breathing coming from below, "It's too... too heavy, I can't move it..."

Wen Sibao stepped forward and moved the dining table away with a little force. A large rectangular piece of dust was also visible on the ground. Xu Tiannan pointed to the edge of the large piece of dust and said, "Look carefully at the edge of this dust."

The two squatted down and found that the edges of the dust were extremely neat. There seemed to be an obvious dividing line in the same tile. The dust on one side of the tile was messy, but the other side was as smooth as new.

Xu Tiannan said: "Actually, I noticed this problem from the first time I entered this villa that day. You see, the floors and countertops in all the rooms in this house are kept spotless. We all know this resort

It hasn't officially opened yet, so there will never be any guests staying there. Even Chen Jialuo brought Li Xiangqin to choose this villa on a whim that day, so why can't you see dust on the surfaces of these furniture and electrical appliances?"

Wen Sibao suddenly woke up and immediately checked in the room. Sure enough, the floor, electrical surfaces and even the window sills of this villa were all polished as clean as new without a trace of dust.

Seeing this, Murong Shui seemed to suddenly think of something. Just as he was about to ask a question, Xu Tiannan stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Stop! I know what you want to ask. Even if there are administrators who come to clean the house regularly every day, why is the forensic investigation team here?

No one else’s fingerprints were found in the villa? Even if the cleaning ladies were wearing rubber gloves, why weren’t their footprints left in the room?”

Murong Shui's face turned red after a series of soul tortures. Not only was his judgment denied by the other party, but his thoughts were also guessed by the other party. It was a great shame and humiliation.

Xu Tiannan added: "The most likely possibility is that Chen Jialuo must have entered the villa at that time, and then someone came after the incident, and it was this person who cleaned the entire room, creating the illusion that Chen Jialuo had never entered the house.

But no matter how the murder scene is forged, the murderer cannot forge two things. One: Li Xiangqin died of an overdose of IV-hydroxybutyric acid. This is an established fact that no one can change. That is why the logic of this case appears.

A ridiculous plot about a woman drugging a man. 2: Dust, we can clean the room very clean, as smooth as new, although the murderer can forge the fingerprints and shoe prints of the deceased, and even some high-end criminals can fake DNA.

But we can't fake a dusty room."

"Then what if..." Wen Sibao was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Xu Tiannan: "I know you want to artificially create the illusion of dust on site, but if you do that, the artificial dust will not be formed naturally.

It's so uniform that it can be easily seen through."

Seeing that the two of them had no doubts, Xu Tiannan concluded: "So now I will restore the scene of the crime. First, Chen Jialuo took Li Xiangqin into the villa, and then drugged the other person's drink, but he did not control the amount of the drug.

It led to the death of the other party, so Chen Jialuo fled the scene in panic, so his vehicle was photographed by the speed camera around 9:30. He was the only one in the car at that time, and Li Xiangqin was also dead at the time, so Li Xiangqin really

The time of death should be around 9:10 on Friday night!"

"Let's put aside for the moment why the forensic team deviated by dozens of hours in Li Xiangqin's death time detection. I think that with the mental quality and physical strength of that boy Chen Jialuo, it is impossible to return to the scene to clean up the traces, and then wear the clothes again.

Slippers of the same shoe size were used to hold Li Xiangqin's body on his body, leaving his fingerprints all over the room, and at the same time using Li Xiangqin's mobile phone to send text messages on Saturday and Sunday. Behind all this... there must be something else.

There is someone! And this person is most likely - Ma Bond!"

Wen Sibao was surprised and said: "Ma Bangang? Is he the housekeeper of Chen Jialuo's family?"

Xu Tiannan nodded and gave the following analysis:

——"Let me assume the original plot. Chen Jialuo returned home in a panic. After Housekeeper Ma learned about his murder, he immediately rushed to the villa here to clean up fingerprints. After cleaning up, he carried Li Xiangqin's body and removed it.

The other party's fingerprints were printed all over the room. Then he took out a pair of size 37 slippers that were the same as the other party. In order to prevent the skin flakes or fabric scraps on his feet from falling out, he first wore shoe covers on his feet, and then

Putting on his slippers and walking around in various areas of the room before leaving, creating the illusion that "Li Xiangqin was very anxious at the time", this is the first step: he is paving the way for evidence of Li Xiangqin's suicide."

——"In the second step, Butler Ma wore gloves and used Li Xiangqin's mobile phone to send a text message to her sister. The purpose was to prevent her sister from filing a missing persons case at the police station, and also to buy him more time.

.”

——"The third step, I believe that Butler Ma is a person with strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. There is too much evidence and witnesses at the scene to see Chen Jialuo and Li Xiangqin coming to the villa together, so he must have realized that our police will soon

The suspect will be targeted at Chen Jialuo. And his choice in this step is crucial. He could have chosen to dump the body in the wilderness, or even bribed the crematorium to burn it directly, but I believe he also knows what the provincial department has issued to us this year.

The principle of 'murder cases must be solved', so if the police knew that Li Xiangqin had been to the resort with Chen Jialuo, but could not find the body, then the provincial department would definitely send a task force to investigate. The scene at that time was

Housekeeper Ma couldn't control it. So after repeated weighing, he used Li Xiangqin's mobile phone to send two more farewell text messages to Chen Jialuo. He also used the game alphabet platter provided in the villa to spell out a text message in the big bedroom where the other party died.

'byeeveryone' in English. Little did they know that Butler Ma's purpose in doing all this was to instill a wrong idea into the police. It was also this wrong idea that misled the police, that is, Li Xiangqin was a person who would do anything for love, and was hysterical and even committed suicide.

woman."

——"After doing all this, the police will definitely find the fingerprints, footprints, text message content and other evidence chains of the deceased at the scene of the crime in the subsequent investigation, and finally come to the conclusion that Li Xiangqin committed suicide for love. The matter is over

At the end, Butler Ma really relied on his own efforts to turn a criminal murder case into an ordinary suicide security case. It cannot be said that it is not impressive."

After listening to this story that was almost like a movie plot, Wen Sibao and Murong Shui were so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. After a long while, Wen Sibao slowly said: "But...but according to our past criminal murder cases.

It seems that after the murder, most of the murderers chose to flee alone. The reason is that at this time, except the murderer's parents, no one is trustworthy, and even the spouse is unreliable, because there is a high probability that no one will

Risking the charge of covering up the murderer to help the murderer, then Butler Ma...he is just a professional manager of the Chen family, why would he take such a big risk and do such a thing?"

Xu Tiannan continued to explain: "Originally, I did not doubt Butler Ma at first. Like you, I thought he was a tough professional manager. But this morning in the lobby of the Public Security Bureau, Li Xianglan snatched a police officer's

After being equipped with a gun, when I discovered that he was willing to use his own body to block the gun for Chen Jialuo, I understood that the relationship between him and the Chen family was more than just an employment relationship. So what he had done for Chen Jialuo, destroying the scene and creating false

If these things are proved, it will make sense. There must be some kind of fatal friendship between Butler Ma and Chen Jialuo's father."

"At the same time, there is one more thing." Xu Tiannan added: "As for what Chen Jialuo proposed, spending three consecutive days at the Mobei nightclub last weekend, it was exactly what Ma Guanjia asked him to do, because Ma Guanjia must use

By some means, the forensic team's detection of the time of death of Li Xiangqin's body was biased. In this case, no matter when the forensic team finally detected that Li Xiangqin died, Chen Jialuo would have a perfect alibi."

The scene was deathly silent, and no one raised any new questions. Xu Tiannan also found a place to sit down, and said slowly to himself: "Now... let us see what Ma Bonde did.

method to change the time of death of the deceased.”
