Hong Kong Variety Show: Me, the Traffic Enforcement and Control Team?

Everyone present learned of Lin Zhengyi's new discovery.

"what?"

"There was even such a clue!"

"Take a look quickly."

"Let's look through it again and see if there are any other clues!"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's look at it again!"

Everyone was startled and immediately gathered around the spot where the novel was placed.

Then, the group took out their gloves and began examining the novels, trying to find more clues.

Seeing the police officers, Lin Zhengyi turned around and went to search other places.

He couldn't find any more clues no matter how hard he looked, so there was no point in continuing. He gave up and went to look for other clues instead.

Thinking about it!

Lin Zhengyi returned to the place where the deceased died, the living room.

"There are two footprints on the sofa. The preliminary judgment in the case file is that they belong to the deceased, so there is no problem. They were probably left unintentionally by the deceased while sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV."

Lin Zhengyi examined the traces left by the police officers during their previous inspections and compared them with the various test results in the previous case files, but for a moment he couldn't find anything amiss.

"This person bled quite a bit before death; the bloodstains on the carpet cover such a large area!"

While inspecting the equipment, Lin Zhengyi also took the opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks.

Afterwards, Lin Zhengyi recalled the case file again and continued to compare it with the traces at the scene, seemingly trying to find some problem in it.

"According to the case file, the deceased suffered from cancer. Although it was not in the late stage, but only in the middle stage, it was an incurable type of cancer. Therefore, he only had a few years left to live. This is why he came to Hong Kong. He wanted to travel and relax, and also see his longtime friend before he died!"

Lin Zhengyi responded while muttering to himself.

But after carefully searching and comparing the files, Lin Zhengyi couldn't find any problems.

What really happened?

Lin Zhengyi pondered, but couldn't come up with an answer.

But he was certain that there was something wrong with it.

If you can't find the problem, then it must be your own problem.

With this in mind, Lin Zhengyi continued his investigation into the problems within the room.

But after searching for a long time, I finally found it.

We still haven't found any problem.

Of course, the colleagues who searched through the novel didn't find anything wrong either.

So, the group reunited in the living room.

"No problems were found!"

"Yes, apart from the problem that Inspector Lin found, we've checked everything else repeatedly, and there are no problems!"

"How about we look in a different direction and find out how the murderer bypassed the hotel's security cameras to get in?"

"Yes, we can try a different approach: find out how the killer infiltrated the area!"

"Wait a minute, I suddenly have a thought. Surveillance footage isn't stored for very long. If someone sneaks in before the footage is overwritten, does that mean we won't be able to find them when we review the footage?"

"That's a good idea! If someone actually did that, you really wouldn't be able to see it on the security camera!"

"No, there's a problem inside. You can't see it when you go in, but what about when you come out? You know, after the victim died, the surveillance footage didn't show anyone coming out, and I don't remember any large items going in or out either. So the murderer couldn't have been hiding somewhere and following them out. Under these circumstances, we searched the entire hotel after the victim died, and the hotel couldn't have been hiding strangers. So how did the murderer get out?"

"Yes, there's another question: how did the murderer get in? There were no signs of forced entry!"

"It's not really a big problem. If we pretend to be waiters, we can trick them into opening the door, right?"

The group discussed it and all agreed that there was nothing wrong with the room.

Given this premise, they began to change their approach and started to explore whether the murderer could bypass the surveillance and sneak in.

After intense discussions, they determined that infiltration was possible.

However, how they got out became a new problem.

The intense discussion, coupled with the large number of people, made Lin Zhengyi feel a bit hot.

then!

Then I went to turn on the air conditioner in the room.

But as soon as he turned on the air conditioner, Lin Zhengyi realized something was wrong.

The air conditioner is actually set to heating mode.

"It's not even that cold today, so why would anyone turn on the heating?" Lin Zhengyi couldn't help but complain.

But the next second!

He was stunned.

A sudden realization dawned on him; he discovered a blind spot and felt as if he had uncovered the truth behind the other person's death.

Chapter 1191 The Least Suspicious Murderer

What is a blind spot?

murderer!

Because he was stabbed to death, everyone instinctively assumed that there must be a murderer who killed him.

But if so.

There was no murderer from beginning to end?

Or perhaps the murderer initially disappeared from everyone's sight, becoming the least suspicious person?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhengyi's eyes flashed, and he walked up to the crowd who were arguing, shouting, "Alright, stop arguing, I know who the murderer is!"

As soon as these words came out.

The officers present were stunned and instinctively turned their gazes to Lin Zhengyi.

"who is it?"

One of the officers couldn't help but ask first.

Lin Zhengyi didn't speak, but pointed directly to the mark made at the location of the deceased's death.

Looking in the direction he was pointing, everyone present couldn't help but turn their gazes in that direction.

The first officer to speak frowned upon seeing this scene and tentatively asked, "Does Inspector Lin mean that the murderer is the victim?! The victim committed suicide?"

"That's right!"

Lin Zhengyi smiled slightly and nodded.

“However, the forensic doctor examined his wound, and it was a knife that pierced his heart. But the problem is that most people don’t stab themselves in the heart when they commit suicide because there’s a sternum in front of the heart, and it’s very likely that the knife won’t go in. Even if they bleed to death in the end, they will suffer for a long time. So most people choose to slit their throats or cut their arteries when they commit suicide,” another officer said.

This is one of the reasons why the police were certain there was a killer from the very beginning.

The knife was plunged directly into the chest, a posture that most people would not choose to commit suicide.

After all, there is a sternum in the chest.

A single cut might not pierce through the bone; the knife could easily get stuck. In that case, you might not die immediately, but you'd suffer even more.

"That's right. And judging from the size of the stab wound, in the case of suicide, the murder weapon couldn't possibly penetrate the gap between the sternum and pierce directly into the heart. It would have to be an outsider with a lot of strength to use such a large knife to forcefully pierce through the bone!"

“Otherwise, if an ordinary person were to commit suicide with such a large knife, and the weapon was stuck in the bone, causing severe pain, they might not have the ability or courage to continue stabbing the knife in.”

"Moreover, and most importantly, the deceased was an elderly man in his fifties or sixties; he couldn't possibly be that strong!" a police officer chimed in.

Hearing them say this, Lin Zhengyi did not deny their words.

indeed!

Because it didn't look like suicide at all, the initial conclusion was that the person was killed by the murderer.

but!

Since he said it was suicide, there must be a reason.

Thinking it over, Lin Zhengyi said, "He may not be that strong, but what if it's not just his strength?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present frowned and looked at Lin Zhengyi with slightly puzzled eyes, waiting for his explanation.

Lin Zhengyi didn't keep them waiting any longer and immediately explained, "Look at the footprints on this sofa. The initial investigation concluded that they were probably left unintentionally while the other person was watching TV, sitting cross-legged on the sofa!"

"But look closely, these two footprints are exceptionally clear. They don't look like they were left while sitting cross-legged, or rather, it's impossible to leave such footprints while sitting cross-legged!"

"You know, when someone is sitting cross-legged, their footprints should normally be at an angle. But these footprints are right next to the deceased. What does that mean?"

"This means the deceased jumped from the sofa to the spot where he died, stabbed himself in the heart, and thus committed suicide!"

That said.

Everyone present couldn't help but frown.

"If the deceased really jumped like that, then the combination of gravity and the acceleration due to their own weight could indeed have caused the knife to pierce directly into their heart. But the question is, how did the knife manage to stand upright?"

"Since the other person jumped, the knife must have been upright for them to commit suicide. But the question is, how did the knife become upright?"

The first officer to speak questioned, "You know, if the other party committed suicide, there would be no way to clean up the scene. In other words, when the deceased was found, the crime scene definitely hadn't been disturbed!"

"However, since the crime scene hadn't been disturbed and we didn't find anything that could hold the knife in place, how did the knife stand up?"

Hear this!

Lin Zhengyi smiled slightly again and said to the spot where the deceased died, "Everyone, please observe whether there is anything different about the carpet marks around the spot where the person died?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to observe.

But it took a long time!

They didn't find anything different either.

"Aside from a bit more blood, there doesn't seem to be anything different!" a policeman said hesitantly.
