The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

"The person who got me and Liu Qiao's hair is most likely Zhang Hengyu."

Xiao Lou's conclusion made Tang Ci frown unexpectedly. Although he didn't know the details of the case, from Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao's description, he already knew that there were two victims in this murder case. ——The first one was Ning Xue, a student of the Conservatory of Music, who drowned; the other was Zhang Hengyu, a student of the Department of Forensic Medicine, and the relationship between the two was a couple.

But now, Xiao Lou actually suspected the deceased?

Tang Ci asked suspiciously: "You mean, the victim who died in medical school... Zhang Hengyu?"

Xiao Lou's face didn't look like he was joking, he nodded, and said seriously: "First of all, Liu Qiao's and I's hair can be found in the autopsy room, so that the police can identify Liu Qiao and me as criminal suspects through hair genetic testing, then , the person who framed him must be able to get close to me and Liu Qiao at the same time, get our hair samples, and put them at the scene of the crime."

"Before yesterday, Liu Qiao and I didn't know each other in this world at all."

"The Chinese Medicine School where Liu Qiao works is not in the same building as the Forensic Medicine Department; the girls' dormitory of the Chinese Medicine Department is also far away from the teachers' offices. The area where Liu Qiao usually moves has almost no intersection with the places where I often hang out. .”

"Until yesterday afternoon, Liu Qiao came to the Department of Forensic Medicine to listen to my class and sat in the classroom where I was teaching. That was also the first time Liu Qiao and I met in this world—if the hunter wants to frame us both , that was the best opportunity."

Listening to Xiao Lou's careful analysis, Tang Ci also gradually felt that Professor Xiao's statement was very reasonable.

Assuming that the hunter came to this world in advance, replaced someone's identity, and planned to get Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao arrested by "framing", then he must find a suitable opportunity to get close to Liu Qiao and Xiao Xiao. building.

It is impossible for the gatekeeper to directly send Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao's hair to him. If he wants this kind of "evidence", he can only get it by himself. As Xiao Lou said, yesterday afternoon, Liu Qiao came suddenly Listening to Xiao Lou's class is an excellent opportunity.

Zhang Hengyu happened to be sitting next to Liu Qiao yesterday afternoon, how could it be such a coincidence?

Xiao Lou continued: "Liu Qiao has long hair, and a simple ponytail is tied behind her head. It is very easy for the person sitting next to her to take a hair of her while she is not paying attention; Ask me questions, and it's not hard to remove my hair while on stage. He's the only one who approached me and Liu Qiao at the same time."

Tang Ci said: "Assuming your reasoning is correct, Zhang Hengyu took the hair. However, Zhang Hengyu was killed in the laboratory building, and even the body was made into a specimen... He can't plant the blame on you, and at the same time give himself to you." It was dissected. The murderer was someone else? Could it be that there was internal strife in the hunter team, and Zhang Hengyu was killed by his companions?"

It is of course impossible for the victim to be the murderer at the same time.

Xiao Lou pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "What if Zhang Hengyu is just an innocent passer-by, and he was instigated by others?"

Tang Ci was taken aback: "In other words, Zhang Hengyu was used by the hunter?"

Xiao Lou carefully recalled the details since the incident, and said, "Let's sort out the timeline, and I always feel that something is wrong."

Tang Ci took out a pen and paper: "Okay, Professor Xiao, tell me."

Xiao Lou sorted out his thoughts, and said one by one: "Yesterday at 2:4 p.m., Liu Qiao came to look for me in the classroom, and we stayed in the classroom for the next two hours; after class, at about [-]:[-], Liu Qiao came to the office Discuss with me about going to the Conservatory of Music to find Ye Qi, we will go to the Conservatory of Music together, and find out that Ye Qi will participate in the singer final at night."

"I had some casual dinner with Liu Qiao. At 7:30, I followed the audience into the final scene. At 8:50, Ye Qi came on stage to sing. At about 9:50, Ye Qi's performance ended. Liu Qiao and I left the auditorium and went to the backstage to find Ye Qi. Chess, and took a photo with Ye Qi at 9:55."

"However, at exactly 9 o'clock, the mobile phone number starting with 136 called Ning Xue, and the conversation between the two lasted for 5 minutes; at about 9:10, Liu Qiao and I walked out of the gymnasium and heard screams by the lake. Then I found the body in the lake, and I asked Xu Mingyue to call the police. The police arrived at the crime scene around 9:30, salvaged the body, and confirmed that Ning Xue died within an hour."

When Xiao Lou said this, he suddenly stopped... What's wrong?

I always felt that the time was too tight, as if the murderer had arranged a script in advance, asking him and Liu Qiao to perform scene by scene according to the script.However, once there is a flaw in one of these links, wouldn't it be wrong?

How did the murderer know that he and Liu Qiao would definitely come out of the gymnasium at 9 o'clock?If they came out half an hour late, or half an hour earlier, wouldn't someone be able to provide them with an alibi?

Tang Ci also found something wrong with the timing.

He looked at the key time points listed in the notebook, frowned and said: "Could it be that the murderer is monitoring your movements at all times, and the moment he saw you were about to leave the gymnasium, he immediately called Ning Xue to the lake and took Ning Xue Pushed down the lake? But, if Ning Xue was a few minutes late on the way here, wouldn't the murderer's plan go wrong?"

Time is too tight.

Call at 9 o'clock, kill, Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao appeared by the lake at 9:10, the murderer reserved only 10 minutes for himself to kill, it is too risky, as long as there is a little unexpected situation, for example, Xiao Lou Coming out early with Liu Qiao, or having a chat with an acquaintance Ning Xue met on the way to the lake... His sophisticated trap is prone to flaws.

Xiao Lou and Tang Ci looked at each other and fell into deep thought at the same time.

Suddenly, Tang Ci thought of a key point: "Professor Xiao, do ordinary people have a habit of coming to the scene in advance to prepare when encountering important things?"

Long-distance travel, interviews, meetings with leaders, etc., when people face important matters, they will reserve enough time to rush to the scene in advance. What if there is a traffic jam along the way?What if there is an accident at the scene?Isn't it delayed?

No one would be so stuck in time, let alone such a difficult thing as murder and planting.

A thought flashed through Xiao Lou's mind. He raised his head and said, "You are right. The murderer must have arrived at the scene ahead of time. Ning Xue's death time was not 9 o'clock."

Tang Ci's eyes were calm, and he went with Xiao Louxiang: "Is there a problem with that call at 9 o'clock last night?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "The murderer forged it. The call got through, but the person who answered the call was not Ning Xue at all."

A's number called B's number and chatted for 5 minutes, and there is a call record in the phone.But can you be sure that the call must be made by A and must be answered by B?

Without video evidence, no one would know whose hands the phone was in.

Tang Ci said: "It seems that at 9 o'clock last night, Ning Xue's mobile phone fell into the hands of the murderer. He used Professor Xiao's number to make a call, and at the same time answered the phone with Ning Xue's number, forging a Xiao The 5-minute call record between the professor and Ning Xue."

Xiao Lou said with a sullen face: "At that time, Ning Xue was actually dead, and her body sank into the lake. The time when the murderer killed Ning Xue was far earlier than when Liu Qiao and I went to the backstage to find Ye Qi."

Tang Ci simulated the scene in his mind, and said: "The murderer should be lurking in the dark, pushing Ning Xue into the lake around 8:8, and then waiting for you and Liu Qiao to appear. He should be very clear that you came to the Conservatory of Music for Looking for Ye Qi, I also know the program arrangement of the singer finals of the Conservatory of Music. According to the schedule, Ye Qi will be on stage to sing at 50:[-]. So, he roughly calculated the time, when you go to the backstage to find Ye Qi and prepare to leave the gymnasium , took out the mobile phone with your calling card installed, and called Ning Xue."

Tang Ci paused, and said: "Professor Xiao carefully recalled, did you see any special people backstage at that time?"

Hearing Tang Ci's reminder, a scene suddenly flashed in Xiao Lou's mind - when he and Liu Qiao came out of the backstage, they did meet a man in volunteer clothes and a mask, squatting in a corner to sort out the backstage balloons, That person only left them a back view, Xiao Lou thought he/she was a staff member of this event, and didn't care.

Now that I think about it carefully, at that time, the balloons on the stage had already been arranged in shape, and the extra balloons in the backstage were unusable. The event was not over yet, so it was too early for the staff to tidy up the balloons at this time?

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Last night, when Liu Qiao and I walked out of the backstage, we saw a staff member in volunteer clothes and a mask squatting in a corner sorting out the balloons. I didn't see the person's face. It is very likely that he has been paying attention to our movements, and after Liu Qiao and I came out, he created the illusion that I was talking to the deceased."

In other words, when Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao walked out of the backstage dressing room and were looking for an exit in the labyrinth-like gymnasium, the passer-by "staff" who was hiding in the corner and had a weak sense of presence secretly took out his mobile phone from his pocket , using the number 136 to call Ning Xue's number, creating the illusion that "Xiao Lou talked with Ning Xue for 5 minutes".

At this time, Ning Xue had already died.

After Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao walked out of the gymnasium, they heard screams by the lake, walked over and found the body, and immediately attracted the police to investigate.

Then this person returned to the medical school, found Zhang Hengyu with some excuse, got the hair samples of Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao collected by Zhang Hengyu, took Zhang Hengyu to the dissection room to kill, and then put Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao's hair on Crime scene.

Of course, it is possible that more than two hunters joined forces to commit the crime, and another person killed Zhang Hengyu.

But no matter what, the staff member in the backstage at that time was quite suspicious. He could accurately grasp the action path and time of Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao, and then create time evidence for the police.

Tang Ci said: "I will investigate the person Professor Xiao mentioned as soon as possible. The murderer who killed Ning Xue is probably him. By the way, Xiao Liu has some doubts about Xu Mingyue. He thinks that the timing of Xu Mingyue's appearance is too coincidental. Professor Xiao What do you think?"

It was indeed a coincidence that Xu Mingyue appeared by the lake and screamed to attract the attention of Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao.

Xiao Lou thought about Xu Mingyue's behavior at that time, and guessed: "She shouldn't be the murderer. At that time, she was trembling with fright, and her behavior was quite normal. If she was the murderer, she wouldn't be so stupid as to call Ning Xue once. Leaving evidence such as call records. In addition, she was indeed riding a bicycle and carrying a schoolbag to the library at the time, but she stopped only when the bicycle blew out by the lake."

Tang Ci was startled: "Blowout?"

Xiao Loudao: "There are nails by the lake, which should have been left by the murderer. Xu Mingyue is likely to be a 'tool man' who was deliberately lured by the murderer as a witness to discover the corpse and lured me and Liu Qiao out."

Tang Ci lowered his head, recorded all the information, and said: "I understand. The key points to check next are the staff member who appeared in the backstage of the conservatory of music, and the other is that he has a good relationship with Zhang Hengyu. Lead him to The murderer of the laboratory building. As long as you find these two people, or the same person, you and Liu Qiao will be cleared of suspicion."

Xiao Lou looked at Tang Ci and said softly: "I can't leave for the time being. If I escape from prison, the police will arrest me openly and even shoot me dead. So, you and Liu Qiao will have to work hard to find out the truth as soon as possible."

Tang Ci nodded to him: "Don't worry, I'll take a step first, you have to be careful here."

Liu Qiao's transformation card has a time limit and cannot stay for too long.

Xiao Lou got up and watched him leave.Among Brother Nine's former teammates, Tang Ci was the one with the most rigorous logic. Xiao Lou believed that with the help of Tang Ci, the truth would soon come to light.
