Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

"think."

Hearing He Wei's wilting voice, Bai Ji'an immediately guessed the meaning behind it.

"Do you have to work overtime tonight?"

Howie sighed, "Maybe."

"It seems the odds are high."

"Yes."

Bai Ji'an's voice has always been able to break his hard defense, making him who never acted coquettishly or complained become soft.

He suddenly felt that just sitting on the chair was not enough.

He wanted to hold the phone, lie on the table, and listen to him talking to himself.

"Is it the case you told me about yesterday, or did you encounter a new case?"

"Last night. The DNA results came out, and it turns out that the suspect was passed out."

"What do you want to do after that?"

He Wei snorted, "I don't want to discuss the case with you. When I think about not being able to see you on time at night, I miss you so much, want to hear your voice, and want to hear you call my name."

"I really hope I can get better soon."

"I also hope that."

"No, I want to be able to move freely. Then I can go to you with my dinner and work overtime with you like I did before." Bai Ji settled down and said quietly: "He Wei, tell me about the case. .”

"I told you, I don't want to discuss work with you."

"No, I want to help you. I want to liberate you from being imprisoned by work. So that my lover can come back to me as soon as possible, because I really want to see him."

He Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he pursed the corners of his raised lips and asked sternly: "Who is here except you?"

"what?"

"You, Nie Kaiyu, where is the other one?"

"Are you asking Ryo?"

"Yeah. Are they all here?"

"No, everyone was here just now, and now I'm the only one left."

"What about people?"

Bai Ji'an chuckled and said, "One went out right from the beginning. The other persisted halfway through and couldn't stand it anymore. He took his lunch box and went out too."

He Wei raised his face proudly and sighed: "You are quite discerning."

"Does that mean you are discerning? You are clearly looking down on us."

After smiling, Bai Ji'an took the initiative to bring the topic back to boring work.

He Wei knew that he wanted to help him, but so far, neither the investigation results of the third team nor the autopsy report of Cheng Nuo had any further results.

This means that neither the interpersonal network of the victim and the suspect nor the actual murder weapon that was covered up is known.

In this case, there is a high probability that there is no way to make further speculations.

"Why not?" Bai Ji'an said, "We can do the elimination method."

"How to do it?"

"You follow my train of thought."

After saying that, Bai Ji'an leaned on Xuan's soft pillow, relaxed his body, and was ready to concentrate on the long phone call.

"Howie, let me ask you, if the real murder weapon is covered with a flower-shaped screwdriver, what does that mean?"

"The real murder weapon was thinner than a screwdriver, and judging from Cheng Nuo's autopsy report, there was no possibility that the murder weapon had a bladed stabbing weapon."

"So, now you can list all the bladeless stabbing tools you can think of as quickly as possible."

"The fastest speed?"

"Well, because you know there are too many types. Even if you come up with some, it is not a universal tool, and the chance of it appearing on the market is very slim."

"Okay." He Wei closed his eyes and read as fast as he could: "Nails, awls, wooden thorns, iron needles, bone needles, screwdrivers...probably, these."

"Okay, then you consider yourself a murderer now and remove the killing tools that you think you would not choose at that moment."

"Needles and nails."

It's thin and small, and there's no room for shaking hands, so there's a high chance it won't kill someone directly.

"What's left after you remove it is an awl, a wooden thorn, and a screwdriver."

"It can't be a screwdriver." He Wei took the initiative: "If the murder weapon was originally a screwdriver, then the point of using a screwdriver to cover it is gone."

"All that's left is the awl and the splinter."

"It can't be a wooden thorn." He Wei recalled the autopsy report he had read in the morning, and the text and pictures on it were still vivid in his mind. "If it were a wooden thorn, if it was repeatedly pierced into the human body, it would most likely leave traces in the victim's body." The scraps can produce clean results. So, the answer is an awl!"

"I remember you said that the victim's fatal injury was the liver being punctured by a bladeless stabbing instrument, causing the liver to rupture and die. The liver is located in the right upper abdomen, about ten centimeters away from the epidermis of the human back based on a standard body shape. Therefore, the murder weapon was a thin and long stainless steel iron awl made of the same material as the screwdriver.”

After some reasoning, He Wei leaned back on his chair again.

He held his cell phone and silently imagined Bai Ji'an sitting in the ward. Even though his body was injured, his mind was still bright and intelligent, and his cheeks were slightly hot with excitement.

"I really don't know what to say."

"What's wrong?" Bai Ji'an didn't understand what he meant. "Is there something wrong with where you came from?"

"No." He Wei raised his face and looked at the slender light tube on the ceiling, "I found a treasure."

"Have you found a treasure like this? I can still continue."

"Ah?" He Wei sat up straight, "It's okay."

"Hmm. Didn't Han Yang mention six places yesterday? Now that the murder weapon has been guessed, we can combine objective conditions and eliminate some places where the stainless steel iron cone is unnecessary or inconvenient."

KTV, bars, Internet cafes, beaches, detective halls and private cinemas.

"The first thing that can be definitely excluded is the Internet cafe." He Wei said: "As long as the door is open, there will be customers all the time. There are so many people and there is no need for an iron cone here."

"There are not many application areas for iron cones. The first places to be investigated are KTVs, bars, beaches and detective halls."

"reason?"

"Because here, except for the Detective Hall, there will be a kind of professional appearing in the remaining three locations."

"…You mean, bartender?"

"Well, stainless steel iron cones may be used to make ice wine. The reason for the Detective Museum is even simpler. The main focus of the game is immersive experience. If you need role-playing, it is not surprising to have any props."

"Everything else is simple, only the beach option should be put at the end."

The fireworks bonfire had ended four days ago, and now even looking for someone was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Bai Ji'an said: "I suggest you go to the KTV and bar first, and put the detective museum last."

"reason."

"The reason for KTV is that if it is less than a certain scale, there will not be professional bartenders inside. As long as you check other possibilities, you can basically judge whether there is a suspicion. Bars are even simpler. Some businesses just want to make money. For more profit, bartenders no longer make ice on site, but directly purchase finished ice cubes online. Therefore, perhaps in the bars that Zhou Xin and Zhang Zhiyun visited at the same time, there were no bartenders who could make ice at all. "
