Episode Down
"You haven't changed at all." The bespectacled man knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived as soon as he heard this sentence.
A lovely figure walked over, the bespectacled man looked up and gave her a slight smile, making a "please sit" gesture. The male waiter placed a glass of iced orange juice in front of the girl.
"Thank you." The girl smiled and thanked softly.
Look at this long-haired girl, with a head of raven-black hair that reaches her waist, an oval-shaped face with a soft and beautiful complexion, a pink face and peachy cheeks, a pair of standard almond eyes, beautiful eyelashes like a crystal clear spring water, clear and transparent, a delicate and pretty chin, paired with bright red tender cherry lips and those captivating dimples, looking sweet and charming, fashionable and noble. A pair of well-proportioned arms, slender fingers on small hands, smooth and long legs, a slim waist that can be grasped in one hand, walking with a sense of elegance. She is so harmonious and pleasing to the eye, so extraordinary and uncommon, like a fairy from heaven.
"You've changed." He took off one of his earphones "Become more and more beautiful."
"Is your AiAi pretty?" The girl smiled slightly "'When the AiAi is about to fade, it will linger with the orchid.' This is your comment on her. I really don't understand, there is no 'Ai' in her name, why do you call her 'AiAi'?"
"Dimly refers to a hazy appearance, meaning of faint light..."
The girl was shocked "So you were laughing at her being black!"
"Hey. She just doesn't know it herself yet, actually..."
Not far away, there was a 15-story high-rise building. Sanqi and Ouyang Xuan were still discussing the murder case in room 1321.
"How do you say this?"
"The killer's purpose in moving the body was to hide something, but if it was a burglary, there would be no need to move the body because he had nothing to do with the victim. Moreover, the killer only took cash and didn't take other valuable things. Just this Hasselblad camera alone is worth a lot of money. If it was a burglary, why would they leave behind such a treasure? In other words, the possibility that the killer knew the victim is very high. He was afraid that taking these things would arouse suspicion."
"Hehe, you think it's that simple?"
"Ah~ that's right, there are still many mysteries that haven't been solved." Even Ouyang Xuan himself might feel that he was a bit too impatient. Every time he worked on a case with Sanqi, Ouyang Xuan would have a feeling of being out of sync, as if he was always one beat slower than the young man. Although with Sanqi's help, the cases were always solved successfully, this still made the competitive Ouyang Xuan feel a kind of invisible pressure.
"Still that method, let's depict the suspect's characteristics." Sanqi took out another piece of paper and started writing with a pen.
The door of the crime scene did not show any signs of being forced open, suggesting that the killer may have been someone known to the victim, or even a familiar person.
The perpetrator is a left-handed person of medium build and slightly chubby.
The perpetrator fled quickly after committing the crime, and there was little evidence left at the scene, indicating that the perpetrator had planned the crime in advance.
The perpetrator plans to kill the victim, indicating that the perpetrator has an obvious motive for killing the deceased.
The weapon may be something like a knife.
6. The time of the crime was 1:20, and the murderer should not have had an alibi during this period.
"That's it." Sanqi handed the paper over to Ouyang Xuan.
"Also, add one more thing, the murderer's shoes were size 41 and left footprints at the scene."
"So the killer is a man." Sanqi nodded and added this point as well.
The perpetrator was a man wearing size 41 travel shoes.
"Sanqi, I don't want to discourage you. But I still have to ask, don't you think there's a problem with this reasoning? Ouyang Xuan looked at Sanqi."
"What's wrong?"
"This reasoning is based on the condition that the person you saw was the murderer. If the person you saw was not the murderer, your reasoning would not hold up. You reported the case at 2:12, during which there was almost an hour of time, where did you go?"
"After all, I still have to work. At that time, Xiaoxiao Jie asked me to go to the first floor restaurant to help. I'm not a god, how would I know that person was a murderer?" Sanqi had a look of regret.
"Xiao Jie, who is it?" Ouyang Xuan sized up San Qi "You're not having an affair behind Tong Tong's back..."
"What nonsense! I'm a very pure person. Her name is Huang Xiaoxiao, she was my senior in junior high school and now she's the service manager of this hotel." Sanqi occasionally also showed such a serious expression.
"So you're saying she's distracting you? That's quite a coincidence."
"You're not suggesting that she's involved in this case, are you? Let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible. Don't forget, she's a woman and the killer is a man."
"Do you still remember Captain Xun's case?"
"..." Sanqi was immediately speechless upon hearing this sentence "But she didn't have any motive at all!"
"It seems you really don't understand what kind of person the deceased was. If you casually tell 10 people about this man's death, 9 of them will be delighted and go set off firecrackers. Suppose it's the hotel service manager knocking on the door, I think not many people would refuse to open it."
"Alright, since you used logical premises to refute me, I'll use the same method. First, your premise is that the person I saw wasn't the killer. This leads to four contradictions. Firstly, the stab wound on the victim's right upper back suggests that the killer was holding the knife in a reverse grip. Normally, when someone is stabbed with an overhand grip, the wounds are mostly on the abdomen and lower back, and they tend to be vertical. If the killer was using a reverse grip, the wounds would usually be higher up on the body, and could be either horizontal or vertical. The victim's wound is on their right side, so let's demonstrate..."
Sanqi said, holding a pen in his right hand and stabbing it towards Ouyang Xuan. However, after trying many times, he was unable to smoothly stab the back of Ouyang Xuan's right side with his right hand because holding the pen was very awkward. The last time he succeeded, but Sanqi stood on the right rear side of Ouyang Xuan and as a result, he was immediately discovered by Ouyang Xuan. In the end, Sanqi switched the pen to his left hand and smoothly stabbed the back of Ouyang Xuan's right side from behind him.
"How's that? Now you understand, right? That means the murderer is a left-handed person. This matches the person I saw perfectly. Second point, the forensic doctor just said that the victim's time of death was between 1:00 and 1:40 pm. And the time I saw that person was exactly 1:20 pm. Third point, normally people would take the elevator directly to the first floor, but this person got off on the second floor. This is because the elevator exit on the first floor is right in front of the hotel's reception desk. The camera in the elevator takes pictures from top to bottom, so with that person wearing a hat, it's impossible to see their face clearly. But if it were someone at the reception desk, they would be able to see this person's appearance clearly. So he couldn't take the elevator directly to the first floor and had to walk down the stairs to the first floor and then slip out through the back door. Fourth point, the person I saw was slightly chubby, and the victim Jia Yanping was also quite healthy, if the murderer were a thin or weak person or a woman, they wouldn't be a match for the victim at all. That is to say, the person I saw had the ability to kill the victim. Is it possible that there's such a coincidence in this world? A passerby who just happened to be passing by with a suspicious appearance and the possibility of committing the crime, do you think that's possible?"
"This... seems... to make some sense."
