On The Day Of My 100th Blind Date, I Arrested My Date

Chapter 242: Restoration of the Chamber of Murder

The only decoration in the red brick house, the bookcase, has been moved!

Moreover, after the move, the restoration was carried out again.

Why?

Zhao Bing, Chen Yan pointed to the holes in the four corners of the bookcase: Measure the distance between these holes and the size of the wooden door.

ten minutes later.

Zhao Bing and several detectives finished measuring.

The distance between the four holes of the bookcase is 2 meters up and down and 1.5 meters left and right.

The size of the wooden door is 1.8 meters up and down, and 1.3 meters left and right!

Holding the measurement data, Chen Yan frowned, and pictures kept flashing in his mind.

Hu Xueying and the others knew that Chen Yan was analyzing and thinking clues, and no one stepped forward to disturb him.

For the murder case in the secret room, the investigation of the Yinglu City Criminal Police Team mainly focused on how the murderer killed the person.

The investigation of Yu Huihui, Tang Muqi and others was not as in-depth as Chen Yan's arrival.

After Chen Yan came, he obviously put more energy into investigating the relationship between the people involved in the case.

In two days, a lot of results have been achieved.

However, for solving the case, so far, there is not much help.

But now, Chen Yan inspected the scene for the second time and made a major discovery.

Bookcase, Hu Xueying and others did not let go.

Surveys were also carried out at that time.

Hu Xueying and others have compared the dust scratches on it in detail, and they were left by Yu Huihui, Tang Muqi and others.

The traces are correct, and the confessions of Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi are also correct.

In keeping with the principle of protecting the scene, Hu Xueying and the others did not dismantle the bookcase.

Of course, it's useless to tear it down, it's just a few wooden boards.

the back wall,

Checked from the outside of the wall, no problem.

The same red brick structure, no signs of damage.

But now, after the bookcase is removed, there is a problem with the mortise and tenon structure behind it.

In the four holes in the middle, the wooden mortise and tenon show signs of fracture.

Why?

Chen Yan is obviously doing reasoning verification.

In the red brick house, several people did not dare to breathe, for fear of interrupting Chen Yan's train of thought.

And Chen Yan was indeed thinking at a high speed.

The bookcase was mentioned in the confessions of Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi.

These two people, together with the dead Duan Zhongxin, started to grope around the surrounding walls after waking up for the first time.

Everyone touched the bookcase and the wooden door.

We have moved the bookcase, but the inlay of the cabinet is relatively firm, and we have not moved it.

These are Yu Huihui's original words.

We groped for a long time, and the wooden door was so tight that we couldn't open it at all.

Duan Zhongxin was relatively sober at the time, and bumped into it several times, but the wooden door didn't budge.

Later, Duan Zhongxin said that he was worried that someone outside would come in and hurt them, so he stuck the wooden door with a bolt.

Yu Huihui and I have both checked, the door bolt must be fine...

Tang Muqi's confession is basically the same as Yu Huihui's.

That night, when the three woke up for the first time, the first thing they did was urgently look for an exit.

According to Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi, the three of them explored the entire red brick house.

The bookcase cannot be moved.

The wooden door couldn't be opened either.

The three struggled for a long time, and in order to prevent anyone from outside from coming in to persecute them, they locked the wooden door with a bolt.

After that, due to lack of energy and the effects of drugs, the three of them fell into a coma again.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of detectives banging on the door and was rescued.

That is, the morning of the 28th.

However, at that time, Duan Zhongxin had already been killed.

However, there are two problems here.

First, why can't the bookcase be moved?

Just now, Chen Yan, Zhao Bing, and Hu Xueying took down the bookcase with little effort.

But the three people who were eager to escape for their lives couldn't move the bookcase at that time.

And wooden doors.

The wooden door of the red brick house is relatively old and has a history of at least ten years by visual inspection.

However, after the three people found the wooden door, they couldn't push it, or even move it at all.

This doesn't make sense.

Because of the long time, the wooden door has been in disrepair for a long time. Although it is still strong, it is no longer airtight.

The door is closed, with a large gap in the middle.

In the video on the day of the incident, it can be clearly seen that even if it is entangled by wire, a certain gap can be pushed open.

But, why both Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi said that when the door hit, they didn't move at all?

A bold idea gradually formed in Chen Yan's mind.

Duan Zhongxin was undoubtedly the murderer's target.

But why are Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi also arrested?

Originally, Chen Yan also speculated that Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi were thieves calling for a thief.

But from another point of view, these two people may have been deliberately captured by the murderer to confuse the investigators.

What the two of them saw and heard was part of the secret room murder case.

What if, Chen Yan was thinking, what if the person who was in the red brick house with Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi was not the victim Duan Zhongxin at all, but the murderer?

Then, when the two fell into a coma for the second time, the murderer pulled off the door latch, opened the wooden door, moved the real Duan Zhongxin into the secret room, killed Duan Zhongxin, and wrapped the secret room outside with wire after he left.

Create the illusion of killing in a secret room.

Is there such a possibility?

Gan!

Of course there is!

And, that's not all.

In connection with the whole process of the crime, the reasoning in Chen Yan's mind became clearer.

Both Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi have been in contact with Chen Yan.

I have learned about the situation of the two in the secret room in detail.

Especially after the second coma, the state of the two of them.

I didn't feel anything at the time, just... just I felt as if someone touched my leg...

These were Yu Huihui's original words at the time.

However, Yu Huihui herself was not sure.

After the second coma, my head hurts very much.

Vaguely, it seems that there are lights and shadows shaking in front of my eyes, and some voices are heard.

However, soon I lost all consciousness.

At the time, Chen Yan thought these words were just hallucinations produced by Yu Huihui under the influence of drugs.

However, it now appears that Yu Huihui should have sensed some information from the outside world.

It's just that the memory is fuzzy and I can't recall it.

After I fell into a coma for the second time, I felt like the world was spinning, as if someone was dragging me, it was the feeling of falling into the abyss.

Tang Muqi's memory is also rather vague.

Some words are ambiguous.

However, the descriptions of the two have many similarities.

Originally, Chen Yan also thought that both of them were affected by drugs.

Hallucinations occur.

However, it now appears that after the second coma, the two must have been moved again by others.

So, one has the feeling of being dragged, and the other feels someone touching the leg.

Captain Hu, summon Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi immediately!

yes!

half an hour later.

The interrogation room of the Yinglu City Police Department.

Yu Huihui.

Miss Yu, do you still remember some details about when you were rescued on the morning of the 28th?

detail?

Officer Chen, I was so focused on calling for help, I was so frightened that I couldn't use my legs.

Yu Huihui paused, and stroked the broken hair on her forehead: I definitely remember the general situation, but I definitely didn't pay much attention to the special details.

This is true, and Yu Huihui was still affected by the drug at that time, and her mind was not very clear.

But it doesn't matter, Yu Huihui must have an impression of the details that Chen Yan wants to know.

Otherwise, they would not be able to get out of the red brick house at all.

Miss Yu, what I want to know is whether the bolt of the wooden door was on the door when you were rescued.

According to the confessions of Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi, Duan Zhongxin proposed to lock the wooden door with a bolt in order to prevent outsiders from entering.

Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi also agreed and confirmed it with their own hands.

Therefore, the next morning, when they were rescued, they had to open the latch of the wooden door before they could go out.

Of course, Yu Huihui replied with certainty: After the wire outside broke, we pulled the latch and were rescued.

Is it the latch you pulled open?

This... Yu Huihui was slightly stunned: It seems that Tang Muqi pulled it away.

I... I was so anxious at the time, I can't remember this clearly.

Chen Yan nodded and left the interrogation room.

Of course it's the latch we opened, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get out at all.

Was it you who opened the bolt that you opened with your own hands?

this……

Tang Muqi's expression was exactly the same as Yu Huihui's.

I don't really remember this one, Yu Huihui probably opened it... I don't remember opening it myself...

call……

really.

Tang Muqi's words were exactly the same as Yu Huihui's.

Both of them knew that the only way to get out of the red brick house was to open the latch.

However, neither of them remembered opening it with their own hands.

They all thought it was the bolt that the other party had opened.

Chen Yan watched the video carefully.

When the wooden door is opened, the bolt hangs from the edge of the latch.

hehe.

Secret room murder, shit!

A deadbolt is the key to all games!
