After 100,000 simulated crimes, I became an ace detective.

A manslaughter magician?

Based on the current clues, Su Ming could not help but raise his eyebrows about this criminal suspect, and looked at Chen Sheng beside him and asked.

"Bureau Chen."

"Tell me more about this person."

"Based on the previous murder methods of the ghost and Lan Caier's experience, it is indeed possible that the magician is a criminal with a special profession."

Chen Sheng also nodded in agreement.

Then he immediately walked to the projection screen, called up the resume information that the Criminal Investigation Technology Department had just sent to the internal group, and introduced it while suppressing his excitement.

"Team Leader Su, Captain Xu, you can take a look at the information on the projection screen."

"Through the comparison and screening of our Criminal Investigation Technology Section, we found that the prison in our Jiahe City must meet the previous requirements, especially those who served at the same time as Duyan and Brother Long, are currently released from prison, and have a fault The killing aspect, and the so-called characteristic of being good at using your brain instead of force."

"Originally, there were more than ten candidate suspects, but in an instant, only this one was left...Liu Su, male, thirty-six years old, originally a magician from the Jinling Circus in Jiahe City."

"But before the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when performing the magic trick of ten thousand swords passing through the box to the audience, an extremely serious stage accident occurred."

"At that time, I don't know whether it was due to a problem with the props or physical discomfort, which caused the assistant to get into the cardboard box. The assistant who could have been hiding at the bottom was not able to hide in it as originally planned."

"So the sharp sword that Liu Su stabbed hit his heart."

"Although he had just stabbed it in, Liu Su seemed to feel something strange, pulled out the sword, and called the staff to come for emergency rescue."

"But it happened to be in the heart. When he was sent to the hospital, he had already lost his vital signs. There was no need for surgery and subsequent rescue."

heard here.

Xu Changsheng, who was standing nearby, said with a curious expression on his face.

"Captain Chen, I feel like there's something wrong."

"According to common sense, the weapons used in this kind of magic show should be non-lethal props, and real swords will not be used at all."

"Didn't you carefully check this behavior of using real weapons?"

"I feel like with a little investigation, I can confirm that this was an intentional homicide and not a so-called manslaughter, right?"

It is clear.

After listening to Chen Sheng's description and looking at the specific information on the projection screen, Xu Changsheng was full of confusion.

In his imagination, this obviously contained elements of intentional homicide. Why was it assessed as manslaughter?

Regarding Xu Changsheng's doubts, Chen Sheng couldn't help but sigh, and then answered.

"Captain Xu."

"When this case originally occurred, I was not the person in charge of the Yangliu Criminal Investigation Brigade. At the same time, this case did not occur in this district, but in the next district."

"However, it happened that an old criminal police officer from the Criminal Investigation Technology Section was transferred from the Binhai District next door and told me about the initial investigation and investigation."

"This magic show of thousands of swords passing through boxes can be said to be a fixed program performed by Lingling Circus almost every day."

"At first, they used fake props, but after receiving too many complaints, the person in charge of the circus wanted to use real swords for the performance."

"Because I have performed hundreds of times before without any problems. There are hidden compartments and iron plates at the bottom of the box for assistants to hide."

"According to normal circumstances, even if a real sharp weapon is used, there is a high probability that there will be no danger."

"However, the circus director's proposal to perform all performances with real swords was unilaterally refuted by Ghost, no, Liu Su."

"He originally said that he did not want his wife to take this risk because all magic performances may have mistakes, and he did not accept the proposal."

"The magician under his command refuted his suggestion like this. Naturally, the circus director was a little embarrassed and said... If you don't perform like this, then you won't perform anymore in the future."

"In the end, it was the dead assistant, Liu Su's wife, who took the initiative to persuade the two of them and decided to find a compromise."

"That is to say, the two long swords inserted at the top at the beginning used real sharp blades, while other more dangerous positions still used those magic props."

"After performing this dozens of times, the accident finally happened suddenly."

Pause slightly for two seconds.

Chen Sheng clicked on a video that was also just sent, and while playing it on the projector, he shook his head and kept sighing.

"This is the video of the crime at the scene. You can take a closer look."

"At the beginning, there was nothing abnormal. Compared with other previous videos, it can be said that the steps are basically the same."

"First let your wife get into the wooden box, and then Liu Su, forget it, I'll just call her ghost."

"Then the ghost will use a lock to completely lock the wooden box to express that the people inside are not allowed to escape. At the same time, it will pick up a real long sword and easily cut off a wooden block to show the sharpness of the weapon in its hand. and authenticity.”

"After all these hints and performances, the ghost will stab the wooden box with a long sword."

now.

The picture on the projection screen was exactly what Chen Sheng said just now, but when he was about to close the lid of the box, the ghost paused and glanced inconspicuously.

Immediately after showing the sharpness of the long sword.

The ghost in the picture raised the long sword with both hands parallel to his ears, and stabbed towards the wooden box in front of him with all his strength in an exaggerated movement.

Su Ming observed the ghost's movements very carefully, and found that when he stabbed the wooden box with the long sword, his arms obviously paused, and there was a feeling of impact as if he had poked an object.

But he didn't let go immediately. Instead, he slightly tilted his wrist.

next second.

Without any hesitation, the ghost immediately pulled out the sword again, threw it head-on to the ground, and at the same time called for the staff to come up quickly.

At this time, you can clearly see that the tip of the sword is bright red and stained with blood.

then.

The ghost immediately stepped on the stool, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the wooden box as quickly as possible with a nervous look on his face and a crying look on his face, while his hands were trembling.

The moment the box lid is opened.

The ghost immediately roared hoarsely and shouted to the staff to come quickly, and at the same time, he took out his assistant, who was his wife, lying in the wooden box.

In the current picture, you can see it very clearly...

There was a bloody wound on the left chest of the ghost wife, and scarlet blood was pouring out, obviously unable to stop it.

As this live video plays, it ends.

Chen Sheng shook his head again and sighed, and spoke rather helplessly.

"Look at..."

"In such a tense state, it looks like he is panicking and regretting accidentally hurting his wife. There is no premeditation or intentionality at all."

"Besides, the most important thing is that Ghost could have applied for a suspended sentence or asked his wife's family members to sign a letter of understanding, but he did not choose to do so."

"But he said that he deserved to suffer in prison for killing the person he loved most. As long as he could feel one percent of the despair and pain his wife felt before she died, it was worth it."

"It's difficult, it's really difficult."

"This looks like manslaughter, not intentional homicide."

Su Ming also watched the live video.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed his chin gently, shook his head and spoke seriously.

"No, Director Chen."

"This is actually an intentional murder. I even think that in order to complete this murder, those complaints that the magic show props were too false were probably what he did..."
