Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

After reading the whole story, Howie didn't feel how sophisticated the murderers' techniques and the protagonist's reasoning were, but the various venting-like revenges in the middle made people a little nauseous.

Probably because Wilder is not only a mystery novelist, but also a mystery novelist who likes horror elements.

"It's really strange." Chen Zeyang stared at the TV, "How come this kind of play is allowed to be performed in the college student drama competition?"

"Maybe because it is a work by a famous artist, even if there are some taboos, a classic is a classic." Changing the topic, He Wei continued: "You saw it, the final fatal wound."

Chen Zeyang nodded, "Heart."

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the coffee table lit up, accompanied by two buzzing vibrations. He Wei lowered his head and saw that it was Bai Ji'an.

He pressed the speakerphone, "Ji'an."

"If I count the time, you should have finished watching the video tape."

He Wei snorted and said, "The clues in this video tape are really interesting."

"tell me the story."

He Wei smiled and said, "Why, do you like to test me now?"

"No, I just want to see how much Captain He has improved in the past few years since I left."

He Wei didn't care, he just needed to record it.

He took out the small brown notebook he carried with him, took out the ballpoint pen clipped on the notebook, and scribbled on the blank pages.

"First of all, the victim in the play, that is, the rapist, died because the six murderers took turns stabbing him in the heart with prop knives and real knives. The four victims who were stabbed to death in the daily rental villa also suffered fatal injuries in the heart; secondly, the character who played The victim of "Cage Murder" is the eighth person who is not in the villa, and the eighth person whose name we did not see in the report."

"Gone?"

Seeing Bai Ji'an ask this, He Wei frowned, "Any more?"

"Also." Bai Ji'an said: "In the original work, the victim is a male, but in the play, the person who plays the victim is a female. In addition to her, there are obviously four men among the seven people."

"Backlash?!"

Neither He Wei nor Chen Zeyang noticed this.

He Wei immediately picked up the remote control on the coffee table and rewind the video. Unfortunately, the video was in a panoramic view, with no close-ups, so it was really not easy to distinguish.

"How did you see it?"

“When I first watched the video, I felt that the face of the ‘victim’ was softer and more delicate than the contours of a man. After I separated from you at the villa, I went to the drama club of Yue'an University and found the photos of them after they won the award, and saw the "victim" on them, Jian Ping. "

"Jian Ping."

"Well, the name of the eighth person."

"Then?"

He Wei didn't believe that Bai Ji'an could endure his curiosity and stand still after knowing the real name of the eighth person.

"After that, I went to the office to supervise the work."

"What?!" He Wei almost jumped up from the sofa, "You went back?!"

"Yes."

"How could you..."

Bai Ji'an knew what He Wei was going to ask him, and said, "Now that I know her name, I can't run away. In addition to the decoration of the office that I left behind for a day and have to go back, I'm still waiting for your report." .”

"Autopsy report?"

"More than that. In addition to the autopsy report, there is also a scene trace detection report."

He Wei glanced at his watch and counted the time in his mind, "We'll basically be able to come out when it gets dawn."

"Okay, then I'll take a nap first."

After saying that, Bai Ji'an hung up the phone.

He Wei put down his phone, picked up the remote control and rewind the video. Although it was already late at night, he was not sleepy at all. Rather than just staring, he might as well look at it a few more times and maybe find other clues.

Before starting, he glanced at Chen Zeyang and said, "Sleep as long as you can. I don't know how busy I will be tomorrow."

It was exactly as Hewei predicted. At [-]:[-] the next morning, Bai Ji'an received a call from He Wei.

"Come down, I'm downstairs with you."

He Wei's voice in the receiver was a little different. Bai Ji'an expected that the situation had changed, and before he had time to think about it, he casually grabbed a coat and put it on himself, and walked out quickly.

There is an all-black Tank 300 parked in front of the office.

Through the open window, Bai Ji'an saw He Wei sitting in the driver's seat. He put his left hand on the steering wheel and tapped his index finger quickly, looking a little anxious.

Bai Ji'an opened the door and found a yellow brown paper bag lying quietly on the passenger seat.

He picked up the paper bag, pulled out the documents, and said, "Where are you going?"

"Yue'an Central Hospital."

That's the hospital where the two survivors were sent yesterday.

"Someone is awake."

"Well, the man is awake, but the woman is not yet."

Bai Ji'an nodded and said nothing more. He flipped through the documents, and the top one was the autopsy report of the four victims given by the medical examiner.

As he initially judged, the cause of death of the four people who were assassinated was heart rupture, and the concentration of carbon monoxide in the blood was 3%. In other words, the murderer assassinated them first.

Another deceased with no external injuries was named Zhang Zhe. He was the only one among the three who was not stabbed in the heart by the murderer.

The autopsy report showed that the carbon monoxide concentration in Zhang Zhe's body was 42%, which was considered severe poisoning.

"Sleeping pills were detected on them and on the food in the restaurant. Your previous inference was correct."

Hearing what He Wei said, Bai Ji'an just snorted.

Then, He Wei said: "In the kitchen of the villa, you suspected that the murderer was not using sleeping pills to cause trouble, right?"

Bai Ji'an's hand while turning the page paused, and he chuckled, "You actually saw it."

He Wei looked like he shouldn't treat people as fools, "After all, it's impossible for ordinary people to get the amount of sleeping pills that can stun seven people. Even if they can get it, the murderer must have relied on accumulation over time, not just one breath. That would be too obvious. It’s easy to get angry.”

"So what was my original suspicion?"

He Wei didn't want to brag, and said: "Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, and poisoning can cause people to faint. The forensic doctor told me."

"Well, I did doubt it."

"But think about it if the murderer really doesn't rely on sleeping pills, but relies on carbon monoxide to make people comatose. It's very complicated. Regardless of whether everyone will be knocked out, the point is that everyone's coma time is not necessarily the same. See If someone suddenly faints, it would be strange if others are not scared to death."

"It is indeed difficult to achieve, so I decided to trust science and wait for your report."

Bai Ji'an turned to the next page. On it, the forensic doctor relied on the shape of the stab wound on the deceased's chest to simulate the size and style of the murder weapon.

The murder weapon was estimated from the stabbing marks. The depth of the wound was about 10 centimeters and the widest part was 2.5 centimeters. It can be judged that it was a single sharp weapon.

"This size and shape...is similar to a dagger like an outdoor survival knife."
