Chapter two hundred and nineteen: perfect crime eight
Unpredictable ideas are adopted.
Because there is no choice at the moment. The enemy the task force faces is very cunning and has not yet appeared in the police's sight. Or it may have appeared, but because everything was handled so perfectly, it was not noticed.
The next day, the day after Zhang Yichi and Muzhi arrived in this world of reincarnation, the task force focused on Meng Xiaoyang himself.
Meng Xiaoyang's computer and mobile phone were taken by the police for investigation.
Even Meng Xiaoyang's two mystery novels that had been published were purchased by Team Yi... through unpredictable arrangements.
"I was thinking that this guy's books are not available in all major bookstores, and the sales volume is appalling, so why are you still doing this?" Mo Zhi took two books and went to all the bookstores, big and small, but couldn't find them. Finally, he finally let the boss
The incoming books are back.
Yi Dui and Zhang Yichi each took a copy and started reading.
"I read through it roughly on the way back. This guy's reasoning is good, but the writing is too bad." Mo Chou commented, "The writing is too awkward."
It took about two hours for Yi Dui and Zhang Yichi to read both mystery novels written by the deceased Meng Xiaoyang during his lifetime.
"The perfect crime..." Zhang Yichi closed the book and looked at Yi Dui, "It can be seen from these two books that Meng Xiaoyang wanted to create a perfect crime."
"But there is a lot of difference." Yi Dui nodded slightly, "But the difference is not in the reasoning, but as Xiao Mo said, in terms of writing, there is too much difference, the portrayal is not realistic enough, and some parts are taken too much for granted.
."
"So it's normal for sales to be poor!" Mo Zhi said with a smile.
Team Yi said: "Of course this is not the key. The key is that the criminals in these two books are trying to commit a perfect crime. This is consistent with the case that happened in reality, so the case may have something to do with Meng Xiaoyang himself
, it is not that the murderer randomly selected Meng Xiaoyang to be his 'artwork'."
"Now if I want to investigate this aspect, I'm afraid I can only find an editor who is in contact with Meng Xiaoyang. Apart from the editor, there should be no one who knows Meng Xiaoyang and his story better," Zhang Yichi said.
On the same day, the editor of the publishing house who was responsible for dealing with Meng Xiaoyang came to the police station.
You could tell that this man was very nervous as soon as he walked in. Zhang Yichi glanced at each other unpredictablely, knowing that the editor must know something secret.
As expected, at first the editor only answered some questions about his usual work. When he asked about something more sensitive, he immediately answered the question without knowing anything, as if it had nothing to do with this case.
But after a little bit of unpredictable bluffing and the threat of the law, the editor still revealed the truth.
A fact that completely overturned the direction of the case.
The day before Meng Xiaoyang's death, he contacted the editor and told him that he had a new work that was about to be completed. However, due to poor sales, the editor was no longer interested in this third-rate mystery writer's new work.
So Meng Xiaoyang said something that seemed very strange at the time.
"I have no family, and I have almost no contact with others in real life. You are my only familiar friend, and novels are the only thing that can prove my existence. If I die one day, please take over my computer.
There are some unpublished works in it. If you can find a way to get these stories published, I am willing to let you sign it, and all the profits earned will belong to you. I have only one request for my unpublished works.
, that is, the book title must be named according to the document name.”
The editor didn't take it seriously at the time, but who could have imagined that the next day he would learn that Meng Xiaoyang had been killed and died tragically at home.
Under such circumstances, he naturally did not dare to get involved in this matter, but in the end he was summoned by the police and told the truth.
This chat record was not found at all during the police search at the time, but it was still retained in the editor's computer. Obviously, Meng Xiaoyang deleted this chat record before his death.
As for Meng Xiaoyang's new unpublished manuscripts, they were hidden in a very private folder. Previously, the police did not focus on the computer as the focus of the investigation was not on the computer, but now they were found by an editor who is familiar with Meng Xiaoyang.
That unreleased new work is called "The Perfect Crime."
Same as the words left on the wall.
As for the content, it is completely consistent with this case.
The story is created from the perspective of a frustrated third-rate mystery novel writer. This writer pursues truly wonderful crimes and wonderful mystery stories, and he pursues this to the point of going crazy. He wants to create the best work at all costs, and has written countless stories.
The perfect crime a man can do.
Finally, he came up with the idea of using himself as a model and a gimmick to create a piece of work that was unique, real, perfect, and shocking to everyone.
The technical police also found the deleted browsing history from the computer and found that Meng Xiaoyang had looked up human body diagrams before his death, which was consistent with the seven precise and deliberate wounds on his body.
All mysteries about the case seemed to be answered at this moment.
The case was reinstated.
The key question was answered. Meng Xiaoyang deliberately locked the key outside the door. This was verified to be OK. He inserted the key outside the door and then locked it inside. From the outside, it looked like someone had locked the door from the outside.
Locked. Then he tried to leave the deliveryman's fingerprints to mislead the police and let them continue to hunt for the non-existent criminal.
How I managed to write the bloody words with my own blood can also be explained. That is, I only stabbed myself once, and slowly wrote the bloody words with my own blood. Then I stabbed myself six times in key positions, pretending to be stabbed by the murderer.
Seven knives. After all, no one would think that a person who had been stabbed seven times was capable of writing a line of blood.
And it's possible to do it with just one stab.
As for how he was able to deliberately stab him six times at the position he designed, it can only be attributed to a miracle. In reality, absurd things are more outrageous than in fiction, so this explanation seems to make sense.
The case is completely clear.
Zhang Yichi and Mo Chou respectively played the roles of the deceased Meng Xiaoyang and the last contact person, the deliveryman, and conducted a case reenactment based on existing information.
At 7:15, the delivery boy played by Mo Yue knocked on the door to deliver the food, and Meng Xiaoyang, played by Zhang Yichi, took the meal. Mo Yue left, and Zhang Yichi inserted the key in the door that he had managed to get the fingerprints of the delivery boy in advance.
outside, then close the door and lock it, giving the illusion that the door is locked by someone outside.
Then I started eating the last meal of my life.
After eating, he stabbed himself and wrote provocative words on the wall of the living room with blood from the perspective of the non-existent murderer.
After he finished writing the words in blood, he stabbed himself six times with astonishing willpower, making others mistakenly think that he had been stabbed seven times at the same time, and died of excessive blood loss. This also completely eliminated the suspicion that he had written it.
of blood.
Everything looks perfect.
Everyone on the task force cheered that the case was about to be solved.
It turns out that this case that made everyone nervous was caused by the deceased himself.
