No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 42 Water

An Youlin squatted on the ground and carefully looked at the socket in the corner, first asked: "The bathroom is the first scene, right?"

"It should be right here." Song Chunming pointed to the sewer opening on the floor tiles. "Although the bathroom was cleaned by the murderer after committing the crime, the blood of the deceased was found in the sewer."

An Youlin stood up, and then said to Zhuo Qingshan: "How did I find the one with blood..." "The reason why Mr. An was able to find that bathrobe quickly was because he had worn it before entering the bathroom. I suspect that this is the first scene, where the deceased Yang Ping was killed." Guo Junfeng walked into the bathroom, "Mr. An didn't answer you directly just now, just to confirm his speculation first. When we came to the scene of the crime , There are no traces of damage to the furniture and decorations here, which shows that there was no conflict between the murderer and the deceased."

An Youlin listened to Guo Junfeng's analysis silently, nodding from time to time. "From the living room to the rest room, and then to the bathroom, there were no traces of the struggle. Even if the murderer could tidy up afterwards, it is impossible for there to be no traces. For example, there will be imprints on the bottom of the items that have been placed for a long time, and things are more likely to be broken if they are broken. There will be fragments and cracks. Therefore, the deceased actively followed the murderer into the bathroom. The deceased’s heart was removed from behind, so the best way for the murderer to commit the crime is to use massage as an excuse to let the deceased Yang Ping lie on the bed. A bed on wheels."

Then, Guo Junfeng added after a little thought: "Of course, this inference is based on the premise that the case that happened here is the same murderer as the case of the male corpse in Huangyin Mountain."

"Well, so I opened the drawer in the lounge just now and found essential oils for massage in it. Most of the nightgowns in the closet were dry, but that one was damp and smelled like essential oils. "An Youlin replied.

Only then did You Tao suddenly realize: "I understand! Since the murderer used phenobarbital sodium when murdering Zhao Chen, it is also possible that he used drugs to kill Yang Ping."

"From the results of the autopsy on the deceased Zhao Chen, the murderer hopes that the deceased will look 'peaceful', so he will try to use the method of the deceased's active cooperation." An Youlin pointed to the bed and continued, "Oh, this bed is still big. As for the brand, I never thought that this company also designs this kind of furniture!"

Zhuo Qingshan didn't expect that An Youlin's mind was jumping so fast, just now he was talking about the murderer's modus operandi, but now his attention was distracted to the bed again.

But Guo Junfeng walked over seriously, squatted beside An Youlin, and looked in the direction of his eyes.

"This bed can be raised and lowered? If you don't look carefully, it's really not easy to find." Guo Junfeng felt the running wheel between the legs of the bed and the bed surface. With the rotation of the running wheel, the bed surface was also slowly rising and falling.

"The murderer used massage as an excuse to ask the deceased to lie on the bed and kill the deceased," An Youlin pointed to the socket by the wall and said, "It is not easy to remove the deceased's heart. If If you want to reduce the workload and deal with the scene as soon as possible, the circular chainsaw is undoubtedly the best choice. It saves labor and makes less noise."

An Youlin sawed open the back of the corpse and took out the heart beside the bed.Then he came to the middle of the bathroom and learned how to push things, "After the murderer finished disposing of Yang Ping's body, he should have pushed this bed through the lounge to the living room."

An Youlin pushed an invisible bed towards the lounge, his movements were funny but serious, he bent over and pretended to exert himself.You Tao's face twitched instantly, and he tried his best not to laugh.

Everyone came to the living room together, and saw An Youlin pushing the bed to the side of the withered flower—the place where the deceased Yang Ping was found.Immediately afterwards, An Youlin made a movement of twisting the wheel under the bed, lowering the bed.Then he got up and pulled the "corpse" on the bed, and he put the "corpse" among the withered flowers.

"Okay, at this point, we still have at least three questions." An Youlin stretched his waist and motioned Zhuo Qingshan to give him his black leather bag. Photos taken on site.In the photo, the deceased Yang Ping was lying among the flowers. "The evening dress on the deceased; flowers around the body; "Radesky March." "The evening dress should be the deceased's own. We found quite a few evening dresses in the cloakroom on the second floor."

"Then let's go up and have a look."

There are five rooms on the second floor of apartment 204, which are bedroom, guest room, study room, fitness room, and cloakroom.A spacious walk-in closet is just between the exercise room and the bedrooms.

An Youlin opened the cloakroom, and the lights inside instantly lit up.The rectangular cloakroom is very gorgeous, and the white wardrobe and shoe rack are full of all kinds of clothes and shoes.Zhuo Qingshan stared at the high-heeled shoes illuminated by the lights. Although she was not as obsessed with limited editions or fashion as many girls were, as a woman, she was still sensitive to the fact that the clothes and accessories here were the most fashionable. of.

"Having such a cloakroom, isn't it the dream of all women?" An Youlin bent over, carefully inspecting every piece of clothing and shoes along the edge of the wardrobe and shoe rack, and occasionally opened the drawer to look at the jewelry inside.Zhuo Qingshan helped An Youlin follow behind him with a black leather bag. Seeing that he was observing so carefully, she felt that he was very knowledgeable about these fashion brands.You Tao and Guo Junfeng followed behind, looking left and right.

An Youlin stopped in front of the compartment full of evening dresses, flipped through the evening dresses inside, and then nodded to himself.

"The murderer's habit is to use the deceased's own clothes to complete the case." After speaking, An Youlin walked out of the cloakroom suspiciously, and went to check the bedroom and other rooms.

On the bedside table in the bedroom, An Youlin found the charging cable of the mobile phone.

"Did the deceased Yang Ping's mobile phone be found?" "No, the deceased's mobile phone was not found at the scene." Back in the living room downstairs, An Youlin came to the stereo, turned down the volume and turned on the stereo.

"Radesky March" appeared again, and An Youlin took out his mobile phone to record this piece of music.An Youlin opened the cabinet next to the stereo, and there was a stack of CDs neatly placed inside.On top is an empty CD case, with the Golden Hall printed on the cover and the words "Vienna Golden Hall". The last track on the back of the CD case reads "Radetzky March".Opening the CD box, it was indeed empty. "This CD is also the deceased's."

An Youlin got up and came to the withered flower, and said, "The origin of this flower is hard to find out, and it's not a particularly rare species."

At this time, Liu came in from the apartment door: "The forensic team called just now, saying that the deceased Yang Ping had detected..."

"Sodium phenobarbital?" "Yes!" Da Liu replied, "However, apart from sodium phenobarbital, the deceased also contained sleeping pills." "Sleeping pills?" Liu explained.

"What latest autopsy results did the forensic team provide?" Guo Junfeng asked. "The neck of the deceased was under heavy pressure before death, but it was not a fatal injury. There was a hard object blocking the front of the neck." Da Liu said, making a blocking motion with his arm under the chin, "It's like hitting the head with a stick. Hold the neck, and then push the head forward..."

An Youlin muttered in a low voice: "Sleeping pills? Valium? Neck pressure?" A few seconds later, An Youlin suddenly walked quickly to the kitchen and opened the cabinet.The inside was full of glasses, An Youlin took out the outermost one, and took out a few more from the inside.The bottom of the outermost cup has a layer of obvious water marks, but the others do not.

An Youlin quickly walked out of the kitchen, crossed the living room, and went straight to the lounge and bathroom. Everyone followed behind An Youlin without knowing it, and An Youlin shuttled through the rooms as if no one was there.

An Youlin first stood in front of the bathtub, then turned around to look at the bed with wheels by the wall.He lowered his body and gently stroked the edge of the bathtub, then raised his head to look at the shower head, and then the bottom of the bathtub.

"Mr. An..." Just as You Tao was about to speak, Zhuo Qingshan patted him on the shoulder lightly, and shook her head at him, signaling him not to disturb An Youlin.An Youlin stretched out his hand, wiped the inner edge of the bathtub with a white rubber glove, and then smelled it with his nose.Then he dipped in the water that had not been drained from the bottom of the bathtub, and sniffed it with his nose.

"Water?" An Youlin muttered to himself, "Why did you do this?" Zhuo Qingshan walked gently to An Youlin's side, she glanced at the water remaining at the bottom of the bathtub, and asked, "Mr. An, Did you find anything?" An Youlin seemed to be able to hear Zhuo Qingshan's words even though he couldn't see her, just nodded, and said to Da Liu with blurred eyes: "Brother, I still need your help... ..." An Youlin ordered Liu to take samples of the water-stained cup in the cupboard and the remaining water in the bathtub for testing.

Da Liu immediately called his colleagues downstairs and asked them to come up to collect the cups and the water in the bathtub before taking their bathrobes back.

"Mr. An, what did you discover?" Guo Junfeng said with a little dissatisfaction in his tone, "Please share it with everyone so that we can learn from it."
