Chapter 709: The Bloodstained Bride (3)
An Yi pointed to open the mission list, and there was still only one main quest 'Find Padric', and there were no side quests activated.
This shows that the murder in front of you is a plot and event that is relatively closely related to the main quest, otherwise if it is the kind of event that has no direct impact on the clearance of the level, it should be the category of the side quest.
Dig a little deeper, and it is not important to conclude what the truth of the homicide is revealed, but what is buried in the homicide in the homicide case related to the main quest, and how to understand the hidden meaning of the system, which is the most important thing.
That being said, it's safest to try to solve the homicide case.
But the current question is, how can they solve the case without even seeing the scene? Even if Sherlock Holmes is reincarnated, it is impossible to restore the truth based on the previous description alone, it is no longer a detective, but a monster.
Due to the death of a person, the scene is protected by the police, and players may need to reveal their identities if they want to investigate, but it is precisely because of the death of a person that this is not only a simple clue, but also a warning given by the system to players, reminding the dungeon that it has reached a period of dangerous situations.
The four of them discussed for a while, but decided not to reveal their identities for the time being, as for how to explore the scene....... we can observe it secretly.
Red and Breeze Bazooka are very eye-catching due to their status, so they are responsible for attracting attention with the guests who didn't leave in front of the church, while Ann Yizhi and Appletea, the two 'henchmen' who no one cares, go around in a big circle, approaching the room where the murder took place from the grove behind the church.
There was no one in the grove at this time, after all, there had been a case of dead people, and the guests who had been wandering around the woods in groups were not there, so it was a good time.
Appletea once again used his excellent spatial grasp ability, and easily found the room where the murder occurred with Ann's fingers. This undoubtedly requires a sensitivity to the map, and apple tea is very invincible in this regard.
A large glass window appeared in front of the two, and a heavy curtain hung behind the window, and it is unknown whether it was hung at the time of the murder or the police closed it to prevent anyone from seeing.
And the windowsill is very high, with the height of an finger, he can barely show the position of his chest a little above, and the apple tea is even worse, he needs to jump on the windowsill to see the situation in the room.
An reached out and pushed the window, which didn't move, apparently locked from the inside.
He swept his eyes and saw that there were two latches under the window that were common to honest windows, and if he wanted to open the curtain and see the scene of the crime, he had to solve this thing first.
Fortunately, there is apple tea, and this honest method of locking the window is not difficult for him at all.
He took out his notebook and tore off two pages, and the checkered paper flew up and down in his hand, and in a short time it folded into a strangely shaped, very thin paper hook.
Slowly inserted into the gap in the window, I saw his fingers hooked slightly, and there was a soft 'click' sound behind the window.
The technology of apple tea sliding door lock picking is getting more and more sophisticated.
The two grabbed the window frame and pulled it back, and at that moment, a strong bloody breath came to their faces, and the two of them almost choked out of breath.
The smell of blood was so strong that the two had to turn their heads slowly, lest they cough out and attract the attention of the police.
There are no police officers at the scene of the crime now, only a few policemen are standing guard at the door to avoid others from approaching, and the rest of the policemen are in a hurry to rush back to the police station to get criminal investigation equipment, after all, they are here to attend the wedding, and no one thought that there would be a murder at the wedding.
Considering the distance between the police station and the church, An Yizhi and Apple Tea have about 15~20 minutes to observe the scene.
Humans are a species with a strong ability to adapt, and after a while, the two of them basically got used to the choking bloody breath, and then An Yizhi reached out to open the heavy curtain and saw the situation inside the crime scene.
If he were asked to describe the scene of the crime, he would probably answer with one word.
Miserable.
The blonde beauty she had seen not long ago was now hung from a chandelier by a rope, which was supposed to be her belt, the pure white wedding dress was dyed a dazzling red with blood, and the light gauze skirt was still dripping blood unhurriedly, and the viscous plasma seemed to tell something.
Hanged people usually have long tongues and protruding and bloodshot eyes, which are due to lack of oxygen.
The bride's death does not have these elements, but is more bizarre.
Her face was pale, without a trace of blood, indicating that she had died of blood loss, but there was still an indescribable horror on her face, and the look of fear made people feel cold at the bottom of their hearts just by looking at it, and it was hard to imagine what the bride had experienced before she died.
"Brother An, the fatal wound is in the left chest."
Apple Tea said in a solemn whisper.
Due to the angle, An Yi pointed to the left side of the bride, and after being reminded by Apple Tea, he changed his perspective slightly and saw the fatal wound that Apple Tea said.
A wound of flesh turned through the girl who was in the happiest period of her life, first severing her throat, revealing her white trachea, and then being roughly slashed all the way down, the horrible wound stretched all the way to her left chest, and when she got there, she seemed to have been stabbed hard, leaving a bloody hole that resembled a triangle, as if it had blown through the heart. That's where the thick gore comes from.
How much hatred? Such a ruthless hand?
Whether it's hanging a person on a chandelier, cutting open the trachea, or stabbing a knife in the heart, these are all deadly methods, but there are three places in the bride!
Generally speaking, only a blood feud will be so heavy on the victim, like the victim, a little girl who has just entered the marriage hall, how can she deal with her like this?
Love killing?
An Yi pointed to the word that jumped out of his mind, but he didn't think deeply, because the scene has not been watched yet, and any subjective guess may have an incalculable impact on subsequent reasoning, so it is best not to look at it with self-righteous speculation in the stage of collecting clues, it is easy to make thinking fall into a dead end.
Due to the large wound from the throat to the left chest, a large amount of blood dripped down the bride's clothes and fell to the ground, forming a sticky puddle of blood. But it made him see the murder weapon, which should be a letter opener.
Although the name of the letter opener summarizes the purpose, it can actually be regarded as a short dagger in itself, and its sharpness is still very dick, and it can be used as a murder weapon.
But after all, this thing is used to open letters, its shape is mostly long and sharp, the blade is narrow, and it is used as a weapon and uses more stabbing methods, and this cutting flesh will cause a lot of blood to splash out, especially in the case of the victim, the wound is huge, and it has also attacked the heart, and the blood must be splashed everywhere.
Sure enough, he found a large amount of splattered blood on the dresser opposite the corpse.
But one thing is strange, the blood stain is too complete.
The reason is very simple, the murderer knifed the victim, if it was facing her, it would inevitably cause a large amount of blood to splash on the murderer, so the blood stains left on the dresser would also be partially covered by the murderer, and now the blood stains on the dresser are very complete.
Could it be that the murderer really stabbed the victim behind him?
Is it difficult to inflict such a wound on a person's back without professional training in homicide, or did the murderer use the reflection of the mirror on the dresser as a reference object to get the knife?
The above is just a preliminary guess, An Yizhi did not make a conclusion, but focused his eyes on the surrounding scenery.
I had been paying attention to the corpse itself just now, and sometimes there were many clues in the scene of the crime, so I couldn't ignore them.
This is a room of about ten square meters, a simple single bed, a wardrobe, and An Yizhi also found a bookshelf in the shade on the left side.
There are a few books scattered around the shelves, and since there are no names on the spine, it is not clear what they are. There was also an open book on the bed, the pages were yellowed, it seemed to be an ancient book of some years, but because the distance was too far, the handwriting was also very blurry, and An Yizhi couldn't see what was written at all.
There is only this furniture in the room, and there are no clues for the time being. All he did was take out his notepad and draw a simple map of the location of the crime scene on it, and mark what he saw underneath.
The use of a pen to dot the word 'secret room' on the secret room murder is a key issue.
Ann pointed out that the window was locked from the inside when they came, so it was impossible for the killer to escape from here, and the main entrance was ......
In addition to an old-fashioned door lock at the main entrance, there is also a horizontal latch lock, of course, it is now scrapped, and you can clearly see that the metal parts that hold the lock have been twisted and deformed, and the connected wooden planks have also been rudely torn off, and the very fresh wood fractures are so bright and leaking in front of the two of them.
This proves that the room was indeed locked by the latch when the groom and Director House banged the door just now, and that there were no other vents in the room.
Since he couldn't go in and see it in person, An Yizhi couldn't be 100% sure that there was no secret passage or anything like that in the room, but if that was the case, then this crime scene was a complete secret room!
How does a murderer kill people? How do you escape after killing? What's more, there were so many guests outside at the time of the crime, and the appearance of a person with blood stains on his body will inevitably attract attention, and the smell of blood cannot be easily covered by spraying perfume.
Most importantly, what does the bride's death have to do with the main quest?
Looking at the scene of the murder, the questions became more and more numerous......
