Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

In the night, in front of a western restaurant.

"Okay, got it." Xu Wenshan hung up the phone.

He originally made an appointment with Hu Muzhen for dinner tonight, but Hu Muzhen took on a big case at the last minute and the date was cancelled.

Xu Wenshan is also used to it. He is a policeman and his girlfriend is a lawyer, so they don't have enough time to spare.

He was walking on the street and wanted to eat some fish egg noodles for a meal.

Passing by a store, the shopping guide at the door stopped him and said, "Sir, do you want to buy knives? Today is the 5th anniversary of the store and we are having an event. The entire set of knives is only 2999."

Xu Wenshan looked at the leaflet handed over by the shopping guide. The leaflet showed a set of kitchen knives. The handle is of sandalwood.

"Why are knives so expensive?" he asked the shopping guide in surprise.

The shopping guide smiled and said that this knife was from a brand name, with a handle made of rosewood, and a specially treated blade. It was great for cutting meat and vegetables.

The knives caught Xu Wenshan's attention because the materials of this set of knives were exactly the same as the fruit knife in Ming Na's hand at the crime scene.

Xu Wenshan entered the store and found the same fruit knife.

He asked, "Do you sell this fruit knife individually?"

"Okay." The salesman said.

"how much is it?"

“A handful is 499 yuan.”

"So expensive?!"

"Sir, this is really a good knife."

Xu Wenshan's mind opened up: It turned out that the fruit knife that assassinated Sun and Moon leader Kevin was a 499 yuan fruit knife.

Then Ming Na shouldn't have bought this knife.

Ming Na is a housewife. Judging from her dress, she is relatively simple, and her financial resources are all provided by her husband Wu Feng.

Wu Feng recently cut off her living expenses. If she wanted to kill Kevin, she could just buy a knife. It was impossible to use such an expensive one.

In fact, there was no need to buy it at all. She could just get the one she had at home, because she was prepared to "commit suicide." Why go out of your way to buy a knife?

.

Xu Wenshan thought again:

Since this is the same model of knife, it is very expensive and few people will buy it.

Just go to the store and see if anyone has bought such a fruit knife recently, wouldn't the real culprit be exposed?

Xu Wenshan asked the shopping guide excitedly, "Isn't your knife easy to sell?"

"It's very popular." The shopping guide pointed at the store.

At this time, there were several customers surrounding the counter, who paid readily and in cash.

In 1999, cash and bank card transactions were commonly used.

This knife is from a well-known brand. The original price of the whole set is 3999. Now it is on sale for 2999. Most of the buyers are wealthy housewives.

Or maybe the husband and wife are shopping together, and the husband loves his wife and buys it readily, "Honey, with this knife, you can cook more easily."

"My husband is so nice."

A sense of ritual in life.

There are so many rich people in K City. Xu Wenshan sighed. But this also means that there are many customers buying this knife, and it is difficult to find the buyer.

But no matter what, Xu Wenshan believed that Ming Na should not have bought the knife.

.

Let's go to the evidence room and have a look.

Xu Wenshan bought a hamburger and returned to the evidence room of the police station.

He took out the sealed bags one by one from the carton and placed the evidence found at the crime scene on the table.

He looked at a piece of clothing, the trench coat Ming Na wore before her death. The trench coat was covered in blood.

Xu Wenshan took a bite of the burger and faintly noticed something was wrong.

The blood was wrong.

The blood on the windbreaker was in clumps, as if it had been wiped.

Normally, Ming Na raised the knife to kill Kevin, and blood spurted out from Kevin's heart. So the blood stains left on Ming Na's clothes should be "splash", just a little bit.

And it won't be the blood stains wiped like this.

And sandwiches, why does Kevin eat sandwiches?

This food is so weird, for example, imagine a picture.

If Ming Na asked Kevin to get in the car, Ming Na asked, are you hungry?

Kevin said, not hungry.

Then there will be no follow-up.

Only Kevin said he was very hungry. Minna said, come on, I've prepared a delicious sandwich for you. Eat.

kevin devoured it. Ate a drugged sandwich.

Kevin died late at night. What reason did he have to eat a sandwich?

And if Ming Na really wanted to take drugs, there was an easier way. Couldn't she just give Kevin a bottle of water to drink?

Kevin's body showed no signs that his hands and feet had been strangled or tied with ropes.

It means that he ate the sandwich voluntarily.

.

A pungent smell wafted over, like the smell of disinfectant.

Xu Wenshan walked out of the room and saw the cleaning lady cleaning and disinfecting the corridor of the police station.

Although the smell is not the same, it inevitably reminds Xu Wenshan of another smell in a certain room——

Yesterday in the offices of the Sun and Moon Organization and Wang O'er, he smelled a burst of incense.

Although the aromatherapy smell was not related to the case, Xu Wenshan couldn't help but think of one thing, that is, as such a x-terrorism organization, it would use some means to trick members into donating money.

For example, when chatting, using some kind of aromatherapy can make members have "obedient" thoughts, join the organization, and give money.

Wang Ou'er has marital conflicts with Kevin, and she is a rich person. She can buy expensive fruit knives.

If Wang Ouer asked Kevin to meet at home to discuss divorce, she could use various methods to easily trick Kevin into eating a sandwich.

Then he took Kevin to the cave and stabbed Kevin to death with a fruit knife. The three stabs were all in the middle of the heart.

This shows that Kevin died quickly without any precautions and in a coma.

Afterwards, Wang Ouer got Ming Na's windbreaker and wiped the windbreaker on the blood, leaving "wiping" blood stains instead of splattering blood stains.

Then he put the windbreaker on Ming Na, put the fruit knife in Ming Na's hand, and drove to the top of the mountain to create "exhaust gas suicide."

Ming Na should have been dead when she wore the trench coat.

But how did Ming Na die? Why can she keep breathing car exhaust?

How did Wang Ouer get close to Ming Na?

At this time, a bold speculation emerged from Xu Wenshan's mind - conspiracy.

In fact, it is too easy to guess. Ming Na and her husband Wu Feng, and Wang Ouer and her husband Kevin all have deep marital conflicts.

Their spouses may have all cheated on them.

If they jointly completed two murders, they would blame Ming Na for Kevin's death.

Therefore, the strange things discovered at the crime scene were no coincidence.

The B-side of the tape, the expensive fruit knife, the adjusted driver's seat, the sandwich in my stomach.

Connecting them together is the murderers' trick.

.

Soon there was a clue that made the case confusing again.

The next day, the forensic department received an inspection report—a few hairs were found in the trunk of the car where Mingna was killed.

The hair is short and very thin, which proves that the hair does not belong to the deceased Kevin, Ming Na, or Ming Na’s husband Wu Feng.

Whose hair does that belong to? It can't be Wang Ou'er's. Xu Wenshan recalled that Wang Ouer had medium, fluffy hair.

But who was hiding in the trunk? Are there other murderers?

Or maybe it was left by the car cleaner at the car shop while washing the car?

The most difficult thing to solve is not this, but the "murderer's" alibi.

Based on the time of death, it is estimated that Mingna and Kevin were killed about an hour apart.

Their respective spouses had already moved out due to divorce. Wang Ou'er lived in the new house, and Wu Feng stayed in the Clock Hotel for a week.

It's 1999, and surveillance is not yet widespread.

There is no evidence to prove that the two men had been at the scene of the crime at the time of the crime.
