Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 538: Rough Method of Committing the Crime

"What does it mean to exclude half?"

Uncle Tai stared at Chen Yi and spoke in a deep voice. The death of his nephew was obviously a great blow to him. The two were five or six meters apart, and Chen Yi could even see the bloodshot in his pupils.

This is a rapid surge of adrenaline, causing the conjunctival blood vessels to dilate and turn red.

This means that he is very angry, very angry, and quite angry.

It seems that the relationship between the uncle and nephew is very good.

In a place like Sendong Island, Chen Yi certainly would not say anything about calling the police and letting them handle it, otherwise he would be looked at as an idiot by many people.

Uncle Tai has openly said "leave the body intact", which clearly shows that he wants to carry out a lynching and he doesn't care about him as a policeman at all.

You can be polite when everything is fine, but when something goes wrong, no status will be of any use.

"It was because I didn't sleep last night that I heard some footsteps." Chen Yi said, "It was probably around 2 or 3 in the morning, Miss Liz, did you hear it?"

Uncle Tai looked at Liz, who nodded slightly: "I heard it too, there were footsteps."

After getting the confirmation, Uncle Tai once again focused his attention on Chen Yi: "You mean, the person who made the footsteps is the murderer?"

Chen Yi said: "In addition to the footsteps, I also heard strange noises coming from the third floor. Now that I think about it, it should be the sound of a fight or your nephew falling to the ground. If the time of death was between two and three in the morning, then the owner of the footsteps should be the murderer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Tai turned his head sharply and looked at all the people living on the second floor, a total of five people.

Suddenly becoming suspects, the five people all looked unhappy. They did not dare to get angry at Uncle Tai directly, so they pointed the finger at Chen Yi.

"Mr. Chen, if you talk nonsense, you will get yourself into trouble." The bearded man said coldly.

The man in a suit who I had met for the first time was relatively polite, but he was also skeptical and dissatisfied: "It's too arbitrary to judge that the murderer came from the second floor just by the sound. Couldn't he have just gone out for a walk because he couldn't sleep at night?"

Chen Yi asked back: "Then have you come out?"

The man in the suit fell silent and turned to look at the other four people, but no one answered.

Seeing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "It seems that no one has admitted to strolling around in the middle of the night, but Miss Liz and I did hear footsteps. Who is lying?"

Hearing this, Uncle Tai was basically certain that the murderer was on the second floor. At his eye signal, the bodyguards around him began to approach the five people.

An Li took two steps back, ready to watch the show. At this moment, Chen Yi seemed to be much more pleasing to his eye. He cleared himself of suspicion right away, saving a lot of trouble.

Agui is already dead. Even if they can't find out who killed him, everyone present is a suspect. No one wants to be linked to the name by Uncle Tai. After all, Alm's influence in the South is unmatched.

The five people looked even uglier. The man in the suit said, "Uncle Tai, you know the relationship between Agui and me. His death definitely has nothing to do with me."

Uncle Tai did not comment: "The closer the relationship, the easier it is to have conflicts. What do you think, Officer Chen?"

He was wary of Chen Yi, otherwise he would not have sent Liz to follow him 24 hours a day, but he really needed the police's help now.

Every profession has its own expertise, and an inconspicuous person may play a huge role at a critical moment.

"That's right." Chen Yi nodded in agreement. "Murder doesn't happen for no reason. There must be a motive. In theory, the closer the relationship, the more likely it is to happen."

The person who spoke felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. He glared at Chen Yi and then shut up.

Uncle Tai pointed at the five people and said, "You guys, stand here honestly. If anyone dares to move... know the consequences."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yi and his voice softened: "Officer Chen, my nephew died in an unclear manner. Can you help investigate? As long as you can find the murderer, there will be a generous reward. You can stay on the island as long as you want."

Chen Yi was wondering if this was done by the person who sent the invitation letter.

An Li, who is most likely to send the invitation letter, is not the murderer, and his two subordinates do not live on the second floor. If Agui’s death is related to the invitation letter, does it mean that it was not An Li who sent the invitation letter to him?
If it’s not Anli, then it must be Uncle Tai and the people around Uncle Tai.

Agui.

Sister Yi.

Now that Agui is dead, only Uncle Tai and Sister Yi are left.

There are two people in front of me, who should I suspect?

The woman who appeared in Lizhi had long hair, while Sister Yi had short hair...

However, hair can be disguised, face can be disguised, but body shape cannot be disguised.

His gaze shifted slightly and settled on Sister Yi who was standing next to Uncle Tai. He hadn't noticed it before, but this woman had quite long legs.

who can that be?

Could it be that Uncle Tai is acting and he is the one who sent out the invitation?

After thinking hard for two seconds, Chen Yi agreed: "I can take a look, but I can't guarantee that I can find the murderer."

Uncle Tai moved aside and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Yi.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Yi walked over, stood at the door of Agui's room, and looked inside.

The first thing I saw was the room, but soon my second glance was drawn to the body lying on the ground.

Agui was not wearing any clothes but slippers. He was lying on the ground on his side with blood all around his neck.

Due to limited conditions, there were no gloves or foot covers, and Chen Yi did not plan to ask Uncle Tai for them. He walked along the wall, carefully avoiding areas where traces might be left, and finally came to the corpse.

Squatting beside him, Chen Yi gave it a rough inspection.

The fatal wound was on the neck. Three consecutive cuts opened the artery and larynx, causing Agui to die on the spot.

There was no murder weapon at the scene.

"Uncle Tai, ask everyone if they carry any sharp weapons with them." Chen Yi said.

In an island villa, it is very difficult to deal with the murder weapon used in a murder with a sharp weapon. There are five suspects, and the suspects can be identified by finding the murder weapon. However, this group of people are not law-abiding citizens and it is impossible for them to abide by the regulations prohibiting the carrying of controlled knives.

Not to mention cold weapons, there will be no shortage of guns.

Uncle Tai did as he was told and quickly replied, "I have them all. Do you want to bring them over to have a look?"

"Wait a minute, there's no rush."

Chen Yi continued to examine the wounds on the body, estimating the length and shape of the murder weapon based on the depth and length of the wounds so that he could have a clear idea of ​​the situation.

But this cannot be used as ironclad evidence. In the absence of authoritative verification, his words will be seen as highly subjective and difficult to believe.

The knife belongs to whoever you say it is. Why should I trust you?
He needed to look for other clues.

"He had been dead for about six hours. The suspect did act between 2 and 3 in the morning."

When Chen Yi's voice came, Uncle Tai's eyes turned even colder as he looked at the five people on the second floor, and there was murderous intent in the coldness.

Five people.

not much.

If we can’t find the murderer, we’ll kill them all!
It is okay to kill someone by mistake, but it is not okay to let him go.

As for the cooperation...it is far less important than Agui's life!

Chen Yi gently lifted the deceased's hands and went close to carefully examine the nails. Some of the nails were broken, and some of the nails were even completely peeled off, revealing blood and flesh. This showed that the deceased had put up a strong resistance before being killed.

Killed while fully conscious.

"magnifier."

"Bags, and preferably tweezers."

After Chen Yi put forward his request, Uncle Tai did not delay at all and immediately ordered his men to go find it.

These were all common things in daily life and were in the villa. They were quickly handed over to Chen Yi.

"Officer Chen, have you found anything?" Uncle Tai asked impatiently at the door.

Chen Yi did not respond. He carefully picked out clothing fibers from the dead man's fingernails with tweezers and put them into the bag.

After completing this task, he slowly turned the deceased over to face upward and looked at Agui's pale and bloodless face in deep thought.

Since he was killed while he was conscious, the most likely possibility was an attack from behind, but why didn't Agui scream out?
Cover it up.

It was a very simple logic. Chen Yi looked at the dead man's mouth, which was slightly open, revealing a strange smile.

Reconstruct the entire incident in your mind.

At around 2 a.m. today, the murderer quietly left the second floor and went to the third floor and knocked on Agui's door. The two knew each other, and after Agui opened the door, he let him in. At this moment, Agui had his back to the murderer.

Afterwards, the murderer closed the door and suddenly attacked, covering Agui's mouth with his left hand and cutting Agui's arteries and throat three times with his right hand.

Agui couldn't make any sound.

When Agui's life ended, the murderer let go of his hand, and Agui's body fell to the ground with his head hitting the ground. This may be the source of the dull sound.

After killing Agui, the murderer immediately left the same route and returned, and his footsteps were heard when he passed his room. Why were there no footsteps when he went to the third floor, but there were when he came back?
in a hurry.

There were dozens of people living in the villa, and the murderer was very worried about being caught after committing the crime. Therefore, even though he deliberately lowered his footsteps, he still couldn't remain completely silent due to his nervous state.

The sound of footsteps is not important, being bumped into is serious.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi used tweezers to pry open Agui's mouth and found a light red mark on the teeth with a small piece of skin attached.

He took out the small piece of wallet and put it into the evidence bag, then stood up.

It's a very simple case.

If this case happened in the city and was taken over by the police, and the suspect was chosen from five people as it is now, the murderer could be identified on the same day if the police were quick.

Before leaving the room, Chen Yi squatted down at the door, took out his mobile phone, turned on the strong light, observed the ground carefully for a while, and found two complete footprints.

One footprint came from the deceased, and the other footprint came from the suspect.

There was too much evidence. The murderer's modus operandi was very crude. He did not make any anti-reconnaissance preparations in advance and just came with a knife.

It is difficult for a layman to find the murderer, but for an experienced police officer, such a rough crime scene is basically the same as if the murderer killed someone in person, and there is no doubt at all.

Has this person ever thought that there is a policeman on the island?

Uncle Tai's nephew was killed, so he might have asked this policeman for help.

I was leaving early the next morning anyway, so why didn't you wait until I left before you started? Why were you in such a hurry?
"Uncle Tai, come here for a moment."

Arriving at the corridor, Chen Yi called Uncle Tai aside and asked him a few questions, and got important answers.

Agui will also leave today.

In other words, if the murderer did not act at night, he would have no chance.

"Officer Chen, how long will it take to find the murderer? Can we find him?" Uncle Tai asked.

Chen Yi glanced at the five people standing not far away and nodded, "Yes, I basically know who it is."

"who is it?!"

Uncle Tai’s voice was so loud that everyone heard it.

Did you find the person who killed Agui so quickly?
Chen Yi reminded quietly: "The corridor is a bit narrow, if a conflict occurs later..."

Uncle Tai understood and ordered his men to take everyone downstairs to the hall.

The five people received special attention and were forced to sit at a long table, while everyone else stood around and watched them.

This feeling was very bad, and the five people were quite dissatisfied, but the innocent are innocent, and no one was killed. At least four of them were calm and watched the situation develop, and had no plans to resist for the time being.

If the real murderer is found, everything will be easy to deal with. But if an innocent person is wrongly accused... I'm afraid there will be a bloody dispute.

Anyone who can come to the island must be an easy person.

"Officer Chen, who is it?" Uncle Tai asked for the last time.

Chen Yi glanced at the five people and raised his hand to point at them one by one. Anyone who was pointed at seemed to have learned the Sichuan style of changing faces instantly. They looked gloomy at first, and then became relaxed when the other party's finger passed by and pointed to the next one.

Finally, Chen Yi's finger stopped on the last person.

It was when he arrived at the villa on the island yesterday that he saw the man in a suit and tie.

"he."

Everyone present focused their attention on him. The man's face suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly: "You're talking about me? Bullshit!"

“Sit down!!” Uncle Tai shouted angrily, and a powerful pressure came upon him.

The expression of the man in the suit changed, and the next second he felt a strong force from the palms on his left and right shoulders, pushing him back.

Uncle Tai suppressed his murderous intent and said, "Officer Chen, please continue."

He was not so angry that he lost his mind. Chen Yi said that there must be a basis for him to be the murderer. It would be best if there was evidence.

Chen Yi habitually took out a cigarette and lit it, and first mentioned the footprints left at the scene.

The footprints were very clear under the light, and judging by the length of the feet, his height was estimated to be about 1.83 meters.

The other four of the five men are estimated to be under 1.8 meters tall, so the remaining man in a suit is obviously the murderer.

It's that simple.

Listening to Chen Yi's words, the man in the suit said coldly: "You say I'm the murderer based on a footprint, isn't that too ridiculous? Is this how Officer Chen usually investigates cases? Then you must have a lot of wrongful convictions!"

This case was very easy and boring. Chen Yi was too lazy to talk to the other party. Since the other people needed to open their minds, he flicked the ash and said, "Scene investigation is a compulsory course for criminal police. Although I don't have any tools at hand, I can use substitutes to completely extract the footprints at the crime scene. When I compare your shoes, I can confirm that you have been to the deceased's room. Do you need me to make a copy for comparison?"

The man in the suit twitched his eyes and said, "I did go to Agui's room, but I went there to reminisce about the past. We have a good relationship and Uncle Tai knows about it. You can't say that I killed him just because I went to Agui's room, right?"

Chen Yi: "There were no footprints of a third person at the scene."

Man in suit: "The murderer may be wearing shoe covers. I suggest searching everyone's room."

After these words were spoken, the other four could no longer bear it.

"Mao Tao! Are you looking for death?"

……

"Some time ago, there was a rumor that your girlfriend was slept with by Agui. I thought it was fake. Now it seems that you are seeking revenge. Is it necessary to do that to a stinky woman? Are you sick?"

……

"May you be blessed. I will light some incense for you and burn more paper money next year."

……

"Stop talking nonsense, Uncle Tai, just do what you need to do!"

These people have been in a harsh environment for a long time, surrounded by intrigue and deception. For them, a footprint is enough and no evidence is needed at all.

Uncle Tai waved his hand, signaling Chen Yi to continue.

With so many people watching, he needed to make Mao Tao die with a guilty conscience, so that the forces behind the other party would be speechless and even come to apologize with gifts.

Chen Yi took out a bag containing clothing fibers from under the dead man's fingernails.

"The contents were found from the deceased's fingernails. They were left behind because of a strong resistance before death. You can use a magnifying glass to take a closer look. It is cashmere."

"Cashmere is one of the most commonly used fabrics for high-end suits. It is difficult to obtain and is expensive. There are only two people wearing suits here, one is Mr. Mao Tao, and the other is An Li."

"This cashmere is not from Anli. First of all, the color is wrong. Secondly, I think the suit Anli is wearing is artificial fiber imitation wool, which is much worse in quality."

An Li: “???”

He felt comfortable with the first half of the sentence, but the second half sounded weird. What do you mean my clothes are of worse quality?
Damn it, I'll throw it away when I get home! Change it to cashmere!
Chen Yi's words made Uncle Tai's eyes more murderous. He had already taken out his gun and loaded the bullet, not caring at all that the Chinese criminal police were standing next to him.

And Mao Tao's expression became more and more ugly.

This is not the end. Chen Yi continued: "You handled the case so badly that I think any student who graduated from the police academy can find out that it was you who did it. There is also a decisive evidence, a small piece of skin tissue on the teeth of the deceased.

The murderer covered the victim's mouth with his left hand when killing him. The victim struggled violently before dying and bit the other's hand.

Mr. Maotao, can you please extend your left hand for us to see? "

Under the gaze of everyone, Mao Tao clenched his left hand tightly, and the wound on his palm felt slightly stinging from the sweat.

"I'll fucking kill you!!"

The next second, Mao Tao raised his right hand and pulled out the gun.

boom!
As soon as he took out the gun, a gunshot was heard. It was Uncle Tai who fired the shot, and the bullet hit his right arm accurately.

Behind him, two bodyguards immediately controlled him and pressed his head against the table.

“Uncle Tai!” Mao Tao spoke incoherently, “I killed him, I admit it! But this policeman came to the island for no reason and has ulterior motives, we can’t keep him here!”

Uncle Tai was not going to listen to any of this and shouted angrily, "Take him away! Kill him slowly! Let him enjoy it!!"

"Uncle Tai! The police can't stay!!"

Mao Tao's voice was getting farther and farther away.

Chen Yi didn't intend to intervene. There were no rules on the island. Given Uncle Tai's current condition, whoever intervened would be in trouble.

Not a good thing anyway.
