"That's the problem!"
Lin Zhengyi explained with a smile, "If there's a lot of blood, we would usually assume it's because the deceased bled a lot. But the question is, if it's not because the deceased bled a lot, then what would cause the amount of blood?"
listen!
"This"
The people present exchanged glances, unable to come up with an answer for a moment.
"It can't be that the blood was diluted with water, can it?"
Seeing that no one had an answer, the policeman who spoke first also had no answer, and just said something casually.
"You've hit the nail on the head!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyi laughed and said, "The blood has been diluted with water, or more accurately, it's water in a frozen state, which is ice!"
As soon as these words came out.
Like a thunderclap, everyone present instantly understood the details of the crime.
Place the prepared water and a sharp knife pointing upwards into the freezer.
After freezing was complete, he placed the water, which had become ice cubes with the knife still attached, on the ground. Then, he jumped off the sofa, using his own weight and the acceleration of gravity to complete this seemingly impossible suicide.
And at that moment!
Lin Zhengyi smiled and said, "It seems that all the officers here understand. That's right, the deceased committed suicide by stabbing himself with an ice cube. I felt hot just now, so I turned on the air conditioner, and I immediately noticed that something was wrong with it; it was in heating mode!"
"Thinking back to the unusual bloodstains I had just seen, and the footprints on the sofa, I finally came to this conclusion."
"The deceased committed suicide by inserting a knife into an ice cube, and at the same time, the air conditioner was turned on in heating mode. This caused the ice cube to melt quickly, and by the time it was discovered, the ice cube had already completely melted."
"Furthermore, the carpets used in this hotel are wool carpets, which are highly absorbent. By the time the deceased was discovered, the ice had completely melted and turned into water. This water then mixed with the blood that had flowed from the deceased and was absorbed by the carpet. As a result, it became very difficult to distinguish whether the stains on the carpet were water or blood!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
But a new problem has arisen before everyone.
"But why did the other person commit suicide?" the first officer couldn't help but ask.
Chapter 1192 Coincidence
Listen!
Lin Zhengyi smiled!
He said, "Isn't the answer right in front of everyone from the beginning? He's a detective novel enthusiast, he wants to commit the perfect crime, and he has cancer. If he doesn't act quickly, he won't be able to fulfill his wish after he dies. And isn't this the perfect crime right now?"
Even if we know who the murderer is, who can catch them?
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Yes.
Even if the murderer is found, what good will it do?
After all, the murderer killed himself!
Can the murderer be convicted?
Obviously not!
"But... is suicide really a crime?" the first officer to speak asked.
The group of people couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes!
Is suicide a crime?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like it!
After all, there's no law that defines suicide as a crime.
Lin Zhengyi, however, had a different understanding, saying, "From our perspective, it might not be considered a crime, but if we look at it from the perspective of the case, and consider the murderer and the victim as two different entities, then it is a crime!"
"After all, the murderer killed the victim, so the murderer must be a criminal. It's just that the murderer is the victim, and the victim cannot be convicted, so the murderer is innocent. This is a perfect crime."
"We've found the killer, but we have no way to catch him!"
In his view, it's simply a matter of perspective.
Suicide, in the eyes of ordinary people, is not considered a crime. However, if we consider it in terms of the perpetrator and the victim, then it is indeed a crime. It's just that since the perpetrator killed the victim and is also dead, there is no way to convict the perpetrator.
And at that moment!
"Wait a minute, will the person at the very top accept this outcome?" A policeman suddenly spoke up, realizing the most important thing.
Suddenly!
Everyone present fell silent.
Yes!
The answer is yes.
The problem is that the person at the very top might not find this answer very acceptable.
Think about it!
If your best friend dies from being stabbed, but the investigators tell you that the person committed suicide.
In this situation, at the top, would you first suspect the investigator of having problems, or would you directly believe the investigator?
It's obviously the former!
Anyone would have some doubts.
To put it bluntly, this case is simply about giving the person at the very top a reasonable and appropriate explanation.
If the final answer is unacceptable, unacceptable, or even questionable by those at the top, then even if it's broken, it's all for nothing.
Thinking about it!
"How to do?"
Someone said that, and everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.
If we don't come up with a suitable reason or find very strong evidence, I'm afraid the people at the top won't accept this answer!
"I think the deceased probably left behind some direct evidence or something!" Lin Zhengyi thought for a moment and then said.
Hear this!
Everyone present turned their attention to Lin Zhengyi.
“Think about it,” Lin Zhengyi said. “Whether this case is a perfect crime in our eyes or not, one thing is certain: before this case began, the deceased knew he was going to die. In this situation, if it were you, wouldn’t you leave a suicide note or something? I think most normal people would, right? And as long as we find this thing, we can prove it.”
Normal people, if they know they are going to die, will definitely leave a will or some last words, and talk to their relatives and friends.
Unless it was an accidental death, it's impossible to leave any suicide note or last words.
But this time it can't be considered an accidental death.
The deceased knew he was going to die, and that he had brought it upon himself. Under such circumstances, it is quite possible that he left a suicide note or last words.
Finding this thing would provide strong evidence that the deceased committed suicide.
but!
The only problem is that there has to be a will and testament!
What if, what if the other party didn't leave a message?
"Yes!"
"really!"
"Then let's look for a suicide note or something; if we find it, we can prove it."
"But where are the suicide note and last words?"
"It's definitely not in this room. If it were, it would have been found long ago. And if it were found, we would have been able to identify the murderer. Besides, being found means the murderer has a flaw, so it's not a perfect crime. Therefore, if there is a suicide note or last words, it's likely a mailed letter or something written down by someone else, something intended for a close friend or family member. Only in this way can it remain undetected and ensure the perfect crime!"
The group were all police officers, so they naturally had the basic ability to solve cases. After some discussion, they quickly determined the general direction of the possible suicide note or last words.
In this situation, everyone present hurriedly left to search for any possible last words or suicide note.
And very soon!
The group then checked all possible channels.
In the end, they found no possible last words or suicide note.
This gave the many police officers present a headache.
If the truth of the deceased's death is found, even if it is, the person at the top might not be able to accept it!
"Didn't you leave any last words or will?"
"Normally speaking, if you know you're going to die, it's perfectly normal to leave something behind!"
"However, the other person's mind is clearly different from that of a normal person. Maybe they really didn't leave anything behind?"
The group began to discuss it.
And at that moment!
Lin Zhengyi walked in from outside with a strange expression on his face.
"I think I've found the last words!" Lin Zhengyi said with a strange look, as he pulled a cassette tape from his pocket.
at the same time!
He explained, “You all went out just now, and I needed to pee, so I went downstairs to the public restroom. While I was using the restroom, a rat crawled through the ventilation duct and knocked a cassette tape down from it. It happened to land on my head, and that’s how I discovered the cassette tape.”
"Then I looked at a cassette tape. There were two slips of paper on it. One had the name of the deceased on it, and the other said that whoever found it should send it to the governor's house in Hong Kong and he would receive a reward of 100,000 dollars. There was also a 1,000 dollar cash that seemed to be tied to the cassette tape to convince others that this was not a joke."
"Besides, I examined it carefully and found that there was a timed transmitter inside the vent. If nothing unexpected happens, such as being knocked down by a rat, then this tape recorder should also fall out of the vent a day later!"
Everyone present: "."
If it weren't for this coincidence, they probably wouldn't have known where the deceased had left his last words until a day later.
