Chapter 1225

Ann pointed to this explanation. It was a little confusing. Jimmy didn't understand it at all.

"Well, I'll go through the case from the beginning."

He turned back and went to the other side of the room, mainly standing in front of the window to blow the wind. It was too cold.

"First of all, the murderer made holes in the window to fix the iron frame and pulley in advance, and prepared a bowling ball tied with thin wire as the murder weapon. Although ordinary hemp rope can also be used, it is relatively easy to be exposed because the hemp rope is too thick. The thin wire may be fish wire or piano wire. Then he may directly or hide his identity and indirectly disclose a message to the victim that he was killed The A4 paper under the person is full of evidence of his corruption, which is used as a threat to ask the victim to come to the crime scene at a specific time. It is estimated that his reason is to use these evidence to knock some money. "

Then Ann pointed to the window and said:

"However, the victim didn't expect that before he arrived, the murderer had hung the iron frame with pulley and bowling ball above the window in advance. Because it was late at night, if the light was not turned on at all, there was nothing to see. The victim came to the murder site foolishly, and then the murderer untied the rope, let the bowling ball fall down and smashed the victim to death Then he pulled the bowling ball up through the pulley, put it in a plastic bag and took it away, so that there would be no footprints around the victim, that is, what the body looked like when it was found. "

"But Mr. an, you still haven't answered me why the killer can accurately locate the victim."

"It's very simple. I just said that there was an obvious protruding snow mass under the victim's body. There should have been a snowman there."

Shuidao Mengzi immediately realized:

"Is it the kind of snowman that exists everywhere in town?"

"Well, that should be right. The snowman is very simple. Just fill the container with snow such as plastic storage box, make two square snow blocks, pile them up, and carve patterns at hand. The killer experimented with the place where the bowling ball fell in advance, and piled such a snowman as a positioning point at that place."

Jimmy wondered:

"Even if there is a snowman there, it should have nothing to do with the victim being hit?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter. The A4 paper full of evidence of his corruption is placed in the snowman. I guess the killer mentioned this when threatening the victim. For example, 'if you don't believe I have evidence of your corruption, you can go to the snowman outside the hotel and have a backup there'."

Seeing that Jimmy was still a little unclear, Ann pointed and sighed:

"Officer Jimmy, what would you do if you were looking for A4 paper buried in a snowdrift about the height of the tea table?"

"How? Of course, bend down and use your hands... Ah! That's the case!"

An Yi pointed out:

"Yes, the victim did the same. He bent down and lowered his head and dug the snowman with his hand. In this way, no matter where he stood next to the snowman, the position of his head was always fixed, and the position of his head was hit by the bowling ball carefully tested by the murderer."

"I see. Mr. an, you are really good."

An Yizhi quickly and humbly waved his hand. It was not that he didn't want to show off, but that this killing technique had been used by some death pupil.

Mizushima Mengzi said:

"In other words, why did the murderer kill with this mechanism? Since he has the handle of the victim in his hand, it should be more convenient to ask the other party to a quiet place to do it directly, and this technique doesn't seem to be done to get rid of the crime."

Homicide, especially murder, rather than impulsive homicide, is more to remove themselves from the suspect, and the method of this case is obviously not that.

But it's not without reason.

"Why? There are many reasons. For example, the murderer is a woman, and her physical strength and strength can't kill directly, or... Remember the legend in the town? It is said that the patron saint of the town will throw the bad guys from the sky. It may also be that the murderer wants to announce that the mayor is a bad guy and he is acting on behalf of heaven. Whether it's for public opinion or just for psychological self satisfaction, There are many reasons to use this method. "

Jimmy looked at his notepad and said:

"In that case, the killer must be a person who is very familiar with the hotel and has the opportunity to test the whereabouts of the bowling ball... It seems that the suspicion of the landlady's family has become greater."

"It's not just the landlady's family. Yesterday, I knew through chatting with others, including the victim, that the other two people often visit the hotel in the off-season. In addition, the landlady's improper management of the keys. As long as she has a heart, everyone of these people has the opportunity to carry out this kind of murder."

In a word, although the murder technique has been cracked, the number of suspects has not decreased at all.

This is also the place where an Yizhi feels more pain. No matter at the scene of the murder or the scene where the murderer executed the killing technique, there is no clue that he can find the murderer's real body along this line.

However, there is not no clue at all. The clue is in the police record.

Except for Irene's different account, the motives of the five people all revolved around this period of time about 20 years ago.

Svidi was originally a miner. He had to change his job because the mayor closed the mine 20 years ago. The landlady's husband died 20 years ago. In addition, the anonymous letter also mentioned the truth 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago was definitely a very important period, which may have a direct relationship with the current murder.

However, for various reasons, an Yizhi never had a chance to ask the landlady about it. I feel that now is the best time to ask.

But you can't just listen to the boss's words, so Ann pointed to Jimmy and said:

"Can you help me find out what happened in this town 20 years ago? It's estimated that there were casualties such as homicides."

"Twenty years ago?"

Jimmy didn't understand the curves here at all, but he promised ANN to contact the police station in the city to investigate.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The speed of the police investigation is still trustworthy. The only problem is that 20 years ago, this time span was really a little large. It is said that at that time, they were still working with paper documents and archives. Jimmy's police colleagues had to force them to turn the archives page by page if they wanted to check this matter. It took some time.

Of course, this time can't be wasted. The investigation at the police station continues. An Yizhi plans to ask himself. At that time, compare the information he asks with the records at the police station, and you should be able to find some clues.

So the three people who came down from the third floor found the sad looking landlady again and chose a room to talk without being disturbed. An pointed and asked directly:

"Landlady, I want to ask you, do you know there was a snowman at the crime scene?"

"No, I don't know."

An Yizhi looked carefully at the landlady's expression, especially her eyes. If an untrained person is lying, his eyes will reveal a lot.

Confirming that the landlady was not lying, an pointed and asked:

"Well, let me change a question. What do you know about twenty years ago?"

Hearing this keyword 20 years ago, the landlady was stunned, and a very sad expression appeared on her face. Obviously, it was not a good memory.

"Mr. ANN, why do you ask this?"

Up to now, an didn't mean to hide, and directly said what was mentioned in the anonymous letter.

"I think what happened in the town 20 years ago may be related to this case, so I want to hear your explanation."

After hearing this, the landlady bowed her head and said:

"What happened 20 years ago is really an unforgettable memory for me. That year I lost my husband and the only source of income at home. I had to find a way to bring up my two children alone."

"What happened then?"

"It's a mine accident."

The landlady continued:

"At that time, the mayor announced to close the mine, but many people did not believe that the mayor said that the mine had dried up, including my husband, so some miners secretly ran into the mine at night to dig some raw gem mines."

"Steal to dig?"

"Well, this is not something that can be said openly. At that time, my husband said that if the mine in the town was closed, they miners would starve to death, so we must find a way to get more money so that we can do some small business in the city in the future."

The landlady's face showed a sad expression, and big tears fell down her cheeks:

"But the news of the mine collapse came that night. Almost all the people in the town went to the rescue. Many people were killed and many people were rescued. My husband was not so lucky. He was buried below. If only he hadn't been greedy to steal. If only I could stop him with a strong tone at that time, even if we would be poor for a while, at least people would still be there , but now... "

Then the landlady couldn't control her emotions and cried even more.

The three looked at each other, and an pointed to the paper towel on the table and said:

"I'm sorry to remind you of bad memories. We have nothing to ask."

Then he winked at Jimmy and Shuidao Mengzi, and they left the room together.

"Is it possible that the mine disaster at that time was not a natural factor, but man-made, and now the murderer is taking revenge for the mine disaster?"

Shuidao Mengzi whispered to an Yizhi that the latter did not deny or affirm:

"The police must have a detailed record of what happened at that time. After all, the mine accident is not a small thing. The boss's experience is indeed worthy of sympathy, but I always think there is something wrong."

In fact, an Yizhi also said what was wrong, just a hunch or feeling.

It's not that the boss's wife lied. An Yizhi's judgment of lying is still very accurate. It's difficult to hide him by simply opening her eyes and telling lies, but she feels that the boss's wife conceals something and doesn't say it.

Now this situation can not continue to ask, especially if you don't know what the other party is hiding.

However, we can't just listen to the one-sided words of the landlady. In addition to waiting for the investigation news from the police, other people can ask about what happened 20 years ago, especially svidi, who was originally a miner, who should know more.

If you can't, you can only use the stupid method of investigation and visit, but this is also the method often used by the police to solve cases.
