Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The police investigation work has begun. Of course, it can also be said to be Feng Bujue's investigation work.

    After chatting with Schofield for a few words, Brother Jue learned that there were only four police officers who came to this mountain villa to investigate the murder this timeexcept for Schofield and the two men he brought into the house.  , there was one person left outside the house looking at the car.

    But this is reasonable. The resources of a police station in a remote area like this are very limited. Sending two police cars and four police officers to the door already shows that they take this case very seriously.

    "It's getting late. Detective, would you consider asking your men to take the body back to town for examination first?" When Feng Bujue asked this question, he was kneeling on the floor next to the body and put his head close to Dennis' neck.  Ministry, carefully observing the wound.

    At this time, everyone in the corridor outside the door had left. There was a police officer standing guard at the door, and another police officer began to do some preliminary record-keeping work.

    "There is only one clinic in town, and I don't think the doctors there can handle this kind of work." Schofield replied, "Such murders rarely happen in our town. If we want to do an autopsy, I'm afraid the body will have to be sent half a day away from here.  Ogilvy City, where the police department is equipped with forensic scientists"

    "Okay." Feng Bujue interrupted, "Just pretend I didn't ask." As he said that, he stood up, walked around behind the sofa chair, held Dennis's head, and moved it lightly for a few minutes.  After a few seconds, he said, "He was strangled to death. The wound was very thin and was placed on the back of the neck. The murder weapon should be something like steel wire or fishing line,"

    "Well" Scofield followed Feng Bujue and also saw the condition of the back of Dennis' neck.

    Feng Bujue continued, "In addition to the wounds cut by the thread, there are many irregular small wounds on the front of the neck." He raised the hand of the deceased.  He used a toothpick to pick out a strand of flesh between his fingernails and said, "He obviously picked it with his own fingers."

    Scofield thought for a moment and then continued: "Well was this left behind when someone strangled his neck from behind and tried to pull the thread apart?"

    "A futile struggle." Feng Bujue said coldly, "As long as the assailant tightens his grip tightly enough, even if hemp rope is used as the murder weapon, it will be difficult for the victim to dig his fingers into the gap between the hemp rope and the skin, let alone  What about such a thin thread If the murderer's arm strength is strong enough, it is possible to cut off the entire head."

    Listening to Brother Jue's calm narration and looking at his cold and focused expression even Scofield, a police detective who had seen big scenes, couldn't help but shudder.

    "The carpet in front of the sofa chair has traces of being pushed by the toes of the deceased, and several layers were obviously folded forward." Feng Bujue lowered his gaze, "Based on the scratches on the carpet a preliminary judgment. He  Even though he was strangled to death while sitting on this chair, the murderer did not move him after he died."

    When he said this, Feng Bujue suddenly saw something. He bent down, pushed the deceased's legs slightly, and picked out a cigarette butt from the cushion of the sofa chair.

    The next second.  He immediately turned his head and glanced at the ashtray on the small table next to him. There were also a few cigarette butts in it.  Brother Jue brought the two to his eyes and compared them. He even got closer and smelled them to confirm that they were the same brand.  Read: "Were you smoking when you were killed"

    "So the murderer hid somewhere in this room beforehand, sneaked up on the target from behind, and then suddenly killed him?" Schofield speculated.

    Feng Bujue shook his head and replied: "In this room. The only places to hide are under the bed, the closet and the bathroom next door." He walked to the bathroom and gently pushed the bathroom door.  The wooden door's hinge immediately made a creaking sound. "Most of those wooden doors and furniture will make this kind of noise. If the murderer hides in the bathroom or closet, there will definitely be a sound when he comes out." He came again.  Go to the bed, "As for under the bed, it is difficult to hide an adult, and the face of the deceased is facing the bed and will be seen when he comes out."

    "That means that before he was killed, the deceased knew that the murderer was in the same room with him." Schofield thought for a few seconds and said, "But he was not prepared."

    Feng Bujue shrugged and said, "Well, the murderer must be someone who knew Dennis. So when the murderer walked to the blind spot of Dennis' sight and took out the murder weapon, Dennis was still smoking relaxedly."

    "Sure enough, the murderer is in this villa" Schofield thought thoughtfully.

    "What? It sounds like you already have someone to suspect?" Feng Bujue said.

    "Uhjust some immature ideas." Schofield said.

    "You might as well say it, detective." Feng Bujue said.

    Scofield hesitated for a moment and turned towards the door.(The door remained open) After a quick glance, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "I suspect it's Mr. Colston."

    "Oh? How can you see it?" Feng Bujue asked.

    "Don't you thinkthat old man seems too calm?" Schofield said, "His words and deeds are not like the reaction that an old man who has just suffered the pain of losing a son should react."

    "No, his reaction is normal. Before you came, that is, when he just learned that his son was killed, he was indeed very excited, but he calmed down faster than ordinary people." Feng Bujue said, "Because  He is not an ordinary old man." He paused, "Colston has at least four obvious signs that he has a military background, and Dennis also mentioned this in front of me. See Colston  He may have passed more dead bodies than you and I have ever seen, but he has a strong will and is rational enough. This kind of person will not collapse easily."

    Feng Bujue walked to the window as he spoke, "Alsoyou have also seen that Mr. Colston needs the help of crutches to walk, and the murderer in this case had to hold the murder weapon in both hands and approach  The victim." As he spoke, his eyes lit up, as if he found something on the edge of the window frame, but his narration did not stop, "Besidesif he and his father were in the same room, Dennis would not turn his back to him.  Smoking and talking at the same time, that¡¯s so disrespectful.¡±

    "Did you find anything?" Schofield also noticed Feng Bujue's behavior and quickly followed him to check.

    "Ah I just cracked the murderer's method of escaping from the secret room." Feng Bujue replied in a very relaxed tone, "This is not a difficult problem." He pointed at the window frame, "Look here"

    Scofield looked in the direction that Brother Jue pointed and found a trace of blood with a very light color and neat edges, "What does that mean?"

    "It means that the murderer directly used the murder weapon to create this secret room." After Feng Bujue said that, he opened the window and looked out. "The foundation of this villa is quite thick, and the window edge is about 1.7 meters from the grass outside." He said.  With that said, he climbed out. This is only the first floor anyway

    "Wellexcept for Colston and Oliver, everyone else is suspected." Feng Bujue muttered after turning over and jumping onto the lawn outside the house, and then started to lower his head to check the footprints.  (To be continued)
