According to the known conditions, infer new things, and finally restore the original appearance and truth.
This is what we often call reasoning.
But reasoning is not omnipotent, especially when the clues are not enough to restore the original appearance, it is unlikely to directly deduce the truth only by relying on the clues at the crime scene.
However, the essence of reasoning is association, which belongs to a way of thinking. Then, try another way of thinking?
For example, empathy.
Suppose I am the murderer, I want to kill the bride, and I want to arrange the scene into a secret room. What should I do?
Just put forward your own ideas first, and then fill in the key points of the crime scene. If they are all consistent, it means success. If there is an unexplained inconsistency, it means failure.
This is similar to the card reader reading a magnetic card. As long as each key point is passed, even a fake card can be successfully read in.
Although it is not as accurate as reasoning, it is a good way.
They thought for a while, and the first person to speak was Rhett:
"If I were a prisoner, I would lie in ambush in the wardrobe... Can the wardrobe hold apples?"
"Almost no problem."
The coat cabinet in the room is about two meters high. Although it is difficult to hide a strong man of about two and three meters, it is not impossible, but his posture may be uncomfortable.
"Well, then I ambushed in the wardrobe. When the bride came in and closed the door, I suddenly got into trouble and hit the anesthetic with a syringe. After the bride was unconscious, I hung her on the chandelier with a belt, and finally killed her with a letter opener."
"How do you leave?"
"Use a rubber band."
Red made a gesture and continued:
"I left the window, first put the rubber band on the handle of the latch, then close the window, turn over to the window, pull it with the rubber band, the latch will be locked, and finally pull the rubber band with a little force to take it away, so that I can disguise as a perfect secret room."
"But how do you explain that a two meter three man with blood on his body is not found by anyone?"
"It's time."
Red points to the grove behind the church:
"The bridegroom noticed that the bride had not moved for a long time after entering the room and realized that something might have happened. The voice of calling the door together with director house attracted most of the guests. Just implement the above departure plan when the guests were attracted away."
At first glance, it sounds reasonable, but it's not really reasonable. We have to get in the situation of the crime scene.
"This way of leaving is impossible."
Qingfeng bazuka retorted:
"With the amount of bleeding at the scene, the murderer must have stained a lot of blood. I remember you said the curtains were closed, right?"
Apple tea nodded, and Qingfeng bazuka continued:
"Even if the murderer is careful, there is not much blood on his body, but the letter opener is not a long handle weapon. It feels a little short to say that it is a dagger. Such a sharp weapon cuts his throat, cuts his chest, and finally pierces his heart. The prisoner's hands must be covered with blood. Even if he wears gloves and takes off his gloves after committing the crime, his cuffs will be as full of blood as his hands. Use this method Draw the curtains with your hands... "
She looked at Apple Tea. The latter shook his head and said:
"The curtains are clean without any blood, and the method of closing the window with a rubber band to make a secret room is not good."
"That won't work?"
Apple tea takes out a coin and turns it back and forth between his hands:
"To achieve the effect you said, the prisoner's hands must be more flexible than ordinary people like me, but it is speculated that the prisoner's height is more than two meters three, which makes people unable to operate the rubber band flexibly and freely."
With different height, the size of each part is naturally different. How can a guy with a height of 2.3 meters have his hands as big as ordinary people?
"Maybe he's trained?"
"We really can't rule out such a possibility, but we still can't."
Apple tea grabbed the coin and felt out the piece of paper used to open the latch:
"The gap of that window is only so narrow. The rubber band is easy to be stuck by the owner. There is not enough space to do the pulling action you said. Besides, it is not certain whether there is a rubber band in this era."
An Yizhi actually wants to popularize science. The rubber band was invented in 1845. The copy time is 1890. It is not only available, but also of good quality.
But it doesn't matter what you talk to them, so focus on thinking.
"It's OK to escape at last, but it's very dangerous. If the other party plans to hit the door, it can be opened in a few times. If the murderer doesn't have time to arrange everything, he will be caught."
Murder in the secret room must be a planned crime. Since there is a plan, the prisoner must have done everything early. The opportunity to escape is a bit of luck. It is not like the method that the planned killer will choose to use.
However, as apple tea said, it is risky, but feasible.
"It's impossible to push forward and inject anesthetic with a needle so that there is no sound in the whole process of the crime."
Qingfeng bazuka said:
"Even if the bride turned her back to the murderer, the murderer successfully injected the anesthetic with a syringe, but the anesthetic in this era is far from achieving the effect of immediate anesthesia. Moreover, the syringes in this era are made of metal, the needle is thick, and the moment of being stabbed will definitely make a sound, and the groom is outside the door, he can't hear it completely."
"What if he had a more elaborate syringe and a quick anesthetic in his hand?"
"Let's assume that he has a good, but people are not balloons, and the injection of anesthetic is not anywhere. If he doesn't hit the right place, no matter how fast the anesthetic takes a little time to take effect, even if it's only one second, it's enough to make the bride quiet."
It's true. Don't take the anesthetic needle shot everywhere in some death pupil as an example. It's pure black technology.
"Compared with how he did it, why did he know that the bride would go to that room? Is it a breakthrough?"
Apple tea brightened and said.
"There are many such rooms in the church. The wedding dress is placed in one of them. How does the murderer know in advance which room the bride will change clothes? Don't there be murderers among those who know where the wedding dress is located?"
"In fact, this clue can't catch the prisoner. It's even difficult to narrow down the scope."
Rhett took Qingfeng bazuka's words and said:
"When we asked the groom just now, we also made a side attack. From the testimony collected, all the in laws participating in the wedding knew where the wedding dress was, and as long as they inquired casually, they could know that they didn't even remember whether they said it to other guests."
"In other words, anyone can know the storage place of wedding dress through any guest, and then make an ambush..."
An Yi pointed to listen to the arguments of his partners and muttered.
At this time, Qingfeng bazuka put forward another guess:
"I always think the groom is the most suspicious. If the groom does it, many things can be solved easily."
She looked down at the sketch of the crime scene in her notepad and said:
"The bridegroom killed the bride by hanging her uniform on the chandelier while she was changing clothes, and because the bride was going to change clothes, the curtains and windows would naturally be closed by her own hands. As for the door... What about the gap in the apple door? Can you close the bolt with the rubber band that Rhett just said?"
Apple tea recalled and nodded.
"It's impossible from the side of the door, but there is a not narrow gap under the door. The bolt can be closed from the outside with a slender rope."
"In this way, the secret room was formed. As for the height, I think we were all wrong at the beginning. The prisoner was just a man of normal size. He stepped on the chair and cut off the bride's back. Afterwards, he disposed of the chair and blood stained clothes, and his hands were washed at that time. Judging from the length of time from the bridegroom knocking on the door to knocking on the door, he had a chance to do so Do... No, it's not right. "
Finally, even Qingfeng bazuka thought it was impossible.
"The smell of blood is not so easy to clean. I remember asking Reed when he was not rich in blood, and he didn't spray perfume. There was no possibility of perfume."
"How about combining the two inferences?"
Apple tea said:
"Suppose the murderer is a normal adult male, who is very proficient in medicine and pharmacology. He hides in the wardrobe, waits for the bride to come in, anesthetizes him with a syringe, kills him, and then... It seems that it doesn't make sense how to escape in the end."
It is impossible to escape from the door, because the groom is watching at the door, and escaping from the window can't think of any way to close the latch without leaving a trace.
"No, let's assume that he has a way we don't know, but the problem is how he disappeared."
"There must be a lot of blood on his body. He can't run too far to dispose of the blood coat, so... We can go to the woods to verify it."
Rhett suggested:
"The crime scene is facing the grove, and the back door of the church is facing there. No matter what method the killer uses to escape from the window to create a secret room, considering the problem of time and distance, he can only go to the grove to bury his blood clothes temporarily."
Indeed, no matter how deserted the town is, most people work in factories during the day, and there are not all strong workers at home. There must be old people and children. There are rows of folk houses outside the small trees. A person covered with blood walks in the sun at more than 1:00 p.m. in the daytime... Is it strange not to see?
They did what they said and went to the grove to observe where the land had recently been turned over.
By the way, the police also came back with evidence collection tools. This time, they even sent someone to guard near the window. When they saw four players wandering in the woods without getting close, they didn't say much. They just asked them to be more careful because they didn't know who the prisoner was.
However, the four spent an hour turning every inch of the whole grove, and they didn't see any traces of the soil layer being turned over, or even any traces of blood dripping.
A person covered with blood, even if he is careful, will have bits and pieces of blood dripping, but they can't even find this trace, which means that the murderer hasn't been to the grove. Further, he didn't escape from the window at all.
As mentioned above, the bridegroom was guarding at the door, and there were only two entrances and exits: the window and the door. How did the murderer leave after killing someone?
This makes everyone scratching their heads. Maybe they show their identity, like the police applying for assistance in solving the case. If they carefully observe the scene, they may get more clues, although the probability is not too high.
Based on the difficulty level of ordinary copies, the system even added a seemingly unsolvable perfect homicide to the plot related to the main task for players to solve. Are you sure this is not a nightmare difficulty?
"Angie, you say this copy has supernatural factors. The murderer can't be a ghost?"
"It should not be. This is not the style of the system. Let players solve unscientific cases by scientific means... Wait, I see. It turned out to be so..."
An Yizhi spelled the last piece of the puzzle with an unintentional remark of apple tea. He looked at the partners waiting for him to answer and spit out a sentence:
"The bride committed suicide."
