Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 690 This is totally impossible!
"It's true that my wife loves my young lady and is willing to do anything for her, but that doesn't mean my wife will kill the master because of this, right?"

"Not to mention……"

The housekeeper stared at Shen Lian with his old eyes and said, "My wife is so thin and weak, and she has never even held a knife with her hands. Even if she wants to, she is powerless!"

"We all know the madam's strength."

"Don't even think about killing someone by stabbing him in the heart. Even if it's just cutting some vegetables, Madam may not be able to do it."

"So, this in itself is enough to prove that my wife cannot be the murderer."

Hearing the housekeeper's words, the other servants and maids nodded in agreement.

"Yeah yeah."

"Madam is so thin and frail, it is impossible for her to stab more than twenty times."

"This is simply not something Madam can do."

"Sir Shen, you can't wrongly accuse my wife!"

The servants in the Han Mansion were all of one mind.

At this moment, everyone is defending Mrs. Han.

Madam Han gritted her teeth and said nothing for a long time.

Shen Lian looked at Madam Han, and said with some emotion: "Madam Han, although you have a bad husband, you are lucky to have so many people who support and love you."

When Madam Han heard what Shen Lian said, she smiled gently and said in a gentle voice: "I have always believed that good deeds will be rewarded. If I treat others kindly, others will also treat me kindly."

Shen Lian nodded: "I also believe that good and evil will be rewarded in the end."

"but……"

Shen Lian changed the subject and said, "The case still needs to be solved."

"As the Minister of the Dali Temple, this is my duty. I hope Madam Han will understand."

Madam Han nodded softly: "Lord Shen is a good man and a good official. I understand."

Shen Lian took a deep breath and continued, "The question that the housekeeper just raised makes a lot of sense, and this is what I am going to say next."

Shen Lian pointed to the dead man's back, which was covered in blood and his clothes were stained with blood.

Shen Lian said: "The housekeeper said that Madam Han was weak and it was impossible for her to have the strength to stab the deceased to death, and she stabbed him more than twenty times."

"I agree with this point as well."

Hearing Shen Lian's words, Han Min was stunned for a moment, and the housekeeper and others were also stunned for a moment.

They didn't expect that Shen Lian would actually agree with their rebuttal.

Shen Lian saw that everyone was looking at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "Why? In your mind, am I so stubborn?"

"When I solve a case, I never make overly subjective inferences. Everything is based on the clues at the scene."

"Mrs. Han is thin and frail. It is indeed difficult to pierce the heart of the deceased directly with a knife."

"Killing someone is easy to say, but it's not that easy. If you want to kill someone with one blow, you absolutely cannot do it without enough strength."

"And if you can't kill him with one blow, if you can't stab him so hard that he can't react, then he will definitely resist."

"But there was no sign of resistance from the deceased at the scene, which means that the deceased was stabbed and lost the ability to resist. Even if he is not dead, he is seriously injured."

"But if that's the case, Mrs. Han probably won't be able to do it."

Hearing Shen Lian's words, the housekeeper and others breathed a sigh of relief.

But Han Min didn't understand. He said, "Sir Shen, your analysis just now clearly showed that Madam Han had a high probability of committing the crime. But now, you have overturned your own inference. Who is the murderer?"

Shen Lian said calmly: "Master Han, don't worry, I haven't finished what I want to say."

Shen Lian looked at the wound of the deceased again and said, "If the murderer only stabbed her once, then it is obvious that Mrs. Han is no longer a suspect."

"But, you know..."

Shen Lian said meaningfully: "The wound on the deceased's body was not just one knife wound!"

As soon as Shen Lian said this.

All of a sudden, everyone in the Han Mansion changed their expressions.

Some people who are not calm in temperament subconsciously widened their eyes.

However, Jingzhao Yin Han Min looked at Shen Lian blankly and said, "Isn't this something we have known for a long time?"

"Are there any problems with these knife wounds?"

Shen Lian swept his eyes over the people in the Han Mansion, and then said, "Just now, I discussed this carefully with the coroner."

"Coroner, these wounds are very strange."

"Come and see."

Shen Lian pointed at the wound on the deceased's back and said, "There are more than twenty wounds on the deceased's back."

"But the angles of these knives are completely different."

"Some were stabbed directly from the back."

"Some of them are inserted diagonally downwards."

"Some of them penetrated diagonally upwards."

"And the depth of penetration is completely different."

"Some people just shove the dagger completely inside."

"Some of them only pierce the surface of the skin."

"The strangeness of these knife wounds is simply illogical."

Han Min frowned.

As the prefect of Jingzhao, although he did not have the terrifying ability to solve cases like Shen Lian, he had also seen many cases.

So as soon as Shen Lian said that, Han Min understood what Shen Lian meant.

He said, "Master Shen means that... there is no way to explain these knife wounds by saying that the murderer vented his anger?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

"That's right. If the murderer wanted to vent his anger, then normally he would have used all his strength to stab the victim crazily in the same spot!"

"But these knife wounds give us the feeling that they are circling around the deceased."

"Some knives don't have much power at all. At most, they can only make the dead bleed a little."

"In this case, it is impossible to explain it as the murderer venting his anger. After all, I believe that no murderer would stab people in circles when venting his anger."

Han Min nodded, agreeing with Shen Lian's speculation.

He also didn't think that there could be such a strange murderer.

He said, “So what’s going on?”

"If these twenty stab wounds were not caused by the murderer to vent his anger, then why did they appear?"

"this problem……"

Shen Lian looked back at the people in the Han Mansion, and said meaningfully: "I will ask everyone in the Han Mansion."

"Why do you think these twenty knives appeared?"

When everyone heard this, some people subconsciously looked away, not daring to look at Shen Lian.

Some people subconsciously clenched their fists nervously, their whole bodies tense.

Some people take a deep breath, as if they are facing a life decision.

There were also people with pale faces, as if they already knew their own results.

No one answered Shen Lian.

But it seemed that they all answered Shen Lian.

At this moment, even Han Min realized that something was wrong.

There's something wrong with the behavior of every one of these people in the Han Mansion.

Han Min couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Master Shen, what's the matter with these twenty knives?"

Shen Lian did not keep the secret, he slowly said: "Han Min, you need to broaden your thinking, or change your mindset."

"Our analysis just now has been very clear. It was twenty stab wounds. It is impossible that the murderer was venting his anger."

"Well, since it wasn't caused by venting anger, then it must have been caused by the murderer." "But why did the murderer have to give out these knives?"

Han Min blinked: "Why?"

Shen Lian sighed and said, "Don't you understand yet?"

"Because the murderer had to do this. In other words, what did the murderer have to do?"

Shen Lian finally gave the answer: "The answer is to kill the dead!"

"If he wants to kill the deceased, he must use his knife!"

"And twenty stabs means that the murderer must have stabbed twenty times!"

Han Min was stunned: "But you don't need twenty cuts! One cut will kill the victim."

Shen Lian shook his head and said, "It must be twenty dollars."

"why?"

Han Min looked at Shen Lian blankly.

He felt that he had understood something, but he still hadn't grasped the most crucial point.

"Because, at least, every murderer..."

Shen Lian said calmly: "You must stab at least once!"

When Jingzhao Yin Han Min heard Shen Lian's words, he was stunned at first.

Immediately, the brain made a sudden buzzing sound.

He just felt that at that moment, his brain was blank again and again.

He was stunned!
He was totally shocked!

Shen Lian said, it should be twenty dollars!

Because every murderer must stab at least once!

So, what does this mean?
What does every murderer mean?

Han Min looked at Shen Lian fiercely, his tone full of shock and disbelief. He said, "Sir Shen, do you mean to say..."

Shen Lian saw Han Min looking at him in shock, nodded calmly, and said, "Not bad."

"The murderer is not just one person!"

"And precisely because the murderer is not one person, there is such a perfect secret room and such a perfect alibi."

Han Min's brain was buzzing.

He asked almost subconsciously: "How many murderers are there?"

Shen Lian did not answer Han Min directly, but looked at everyone in the Han Mansion.

At this moment, the faces of the servants and maids in the Han Mansion changed drastically.

Even the calmest butler looked gloomy at this moment.

And Mrs. Han, this thin but tough woman, was trembling slightly at this time.

Shen Lian looked at Madam Han, sighed, and said, "Madam Han, how many murderers do you think these twenty completely different, no-similar knives represent?"

Mrs. Han's gentle eyes were covered with a layer of haze.

She did not answer Shen Lian, but chose to remain silent.

Han Min looked left and right, feeling as if he was being scratched by a cat.

He said, "Master Shen, what on earth is going on?"

Shen Lian said: "Han Min, I have just said that the appearance of these twenty knives is unreasonable and illogical."

"No matter how much the murderer hated the deceased, he would not have inflicted 20 stab wounds on the deceased."

"unless……"

Shen Lian paused for a moment and said, "The murderer is not just one person."

"After I had this thought, I looked at the knife wounds again and had a clearer understanding."

Shen Lian said calmly: "There is not just one murderer, but many. The reason they stabbed so many times is because they all hate the deceased!"

"At the same time, this is also a way for them to unite as one. With all of them taking action, they can feel more at ease with each other and not worry about anyone betraying them."

"Because they all stabbed the deceased. Once the truth is discovered, no one can escape."

"In this case, they can act with one mind, and no flaws will be revealed, whether it's perjury or anything else."

"Thus, this case can be turned directly into an unsolved case."

"After all, with a perfect secret room and a perfect alibi, I don't think Jingzhao Yin can solve the case under such circumstances, right?"

Han Min nodded heavily without any hesitation.

Of course the case can’t be solved!

If the case could be solved, he would not have asked Shen Lian to take action.

Shen Lian said: "Under normal circumstances, this case would be shelved until countless dust accumulates on the file and is slowly forgotten."

"Unfortunately……"

Shen Lian sighed and said, "I am here."

"This case may be hidden from you, but it cannot be hidden from me."

"Inside the Han residence, there were a total of twenty people, including Madam Han, and the deceased had twenty stab wounds on his back."

"In addition, as I just said, there is no need to worry about anyone in the Han Mansion betraying each other, so..."

…………

Shen Lian looked at Han Min and said, "How many murderers do you think there are?"

Han Min's eyes widened in shock, "Twenty... twenty people!?"

"That is to say..."

He looked at Madam Han and the others and said, "You, all of you, are the murderers!?"

Han Min was really shocked.

All murderers!

This was something he could never have thought of even if he racked his brains!

He finally understood!

"No wonder it's the perfect chamber of secrets!"

"Since all of you participated, you could have locked the door in the study and let the people outside break it open!"

"That way, you can create the perfect secret room!"

"No wonder we can't find any suspects!"

"You guys are all fabricating false evidence for each other, and everyone is lying. How can we possibly find the suspect?"

"That's it, that's it!"

Jingzhao Yin Han Min finally understood the whole story.

I finally understood what was going on with this perfect locked-room murder case that had left me completely clueless at first.

It turns out that the murderer is not one person at all!

Rather, everyone in the Han Mansion is the murderer!
Precisely because all of them are murderers, their confessions are all false.

It's all fake.

They only spoke out after discussing it and making sure that they couldn't find anything.

And because of this, their confessions covered up the truth.

This also results in me being clueless.

Han Min had a complicated expression. He looked at the thin, gentle, yet tough Madam Han. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Madam Han, I was deceived so badly by you."

When Mrs. Han heard Han Min's words, she couldn't help but look ashamed.
