When A Snail Falls in Love

The window-shaded tree shadow swayed, and the brightly lit villa was silent. Xu Xu looked at Ji Bai's dark eyes and said:

"First of all, according to the latest forensic appraisal results, Ye Zixi died between 21:00 and 23:00 that night. Monitoring revealed that Zhang Shiyong arrived at the villa after 24:00, so he was not the murderer. Considering the content of the text message and his time to throw it away Clothing, his testimony is basically credible-he was temporarily called to the villa;

Second, Ye Qiao is not a murderer. According to monitoring and testimony, she stayed on site for no more than 1 hour. In such a short period of time, it is impossible for a woman to complete the tasks of murder, sabotage monitoring, repairing the knife, and cleaning up the scene. Moreover, it is impossible to explain the formation of two wounds on the corpse-it could not be Zhang Shiyong who later repaired the knife. According to highway monitoring, Ye Qiao had left when he arrived. Where is he looking for a paper knife in the wild mountains and mountains in the middle of the night?

Since neither of the two people who appeared on the scene during the incident was the murderer, it is necessary to return to the original assumption and see what went wrong.

We judge the time of Ye Zixi's death, one is based on the results of forensic appraisal; the other is the distress message she sent at 22:17. But Ye Qiao's confession mentioned that the night was very cold and the indoor air conditioner was on. This is very strange. It is spring now. Even if it is cold at night, you should turn on the air conditioner. Why is Ye Qiao's memory very cold? Lower temperature can delay the judgment of the dead time of the body. This is possible, Ye Zixi's death time is earlier than 21:00. (*Note 1)

In addition, Ye Qiao mentioned that when he entered the door, he heard a sound from the microwave oven. But Ye Zixi made salads and salmon that night, no microwave oven was needed. What Ye Qiao heard may not be the sound of the microwave oven, but the sound of successful SMS sending. I checked online, and the latest mobile phone software can be set to send SMS regularly. If the killer has a certain IT level, you can also download the virus and delete the software after sending the SMS, so there is no trace. Therefore, it is likely that the murderer set the SMS to be sent regularly, and then turn on the cold air conditioning. The two methods together confuse the time of death. It's just that the phone was accidentally taken away by Ye Qiao who rushed to the scene later.

If this hypothesis holds, then we need to focus on investigating people who have not been present before 22:00. According to the confession, only the boss Ye Ziqiang and the old second Ye Jin, they also meet our description of the two murderers. As for Ye Qiao, I think she was on the way to the scene, or she saw the car of the boss and the second son, or she also thought of who the murderer was, so she wanted to blame her brother and sister. When she arrived at the scene, Ye Zixi should have died. "

After Xu Xu finished speaking, he looked at Ji Bai. In Shen Su's eyes, there was both faint confidence and affirmed hope.

Ji Bai smiled slightly: "Not bad. In fact, from the beginning, I doubted that a person who could handle the scene so cleanly would not arrange a proof of absence for himself? However, you have missed the most critical point."

Xu Xu was stunned.

Ji Bai said: "What about the evidence? You are talking about reasoning. Where is the evidence convicting the two?"

Xu Xu lowered his head and thought for a while, but only felt vaguely clueless, but not so clear.

Although Xu Xu has been treated as a future girlfriend, Ji Bai will not treat her softly when she is in working condition. He thinks she doesn't need it either.

So looking at her confused face at the moment, he did not pity Xiangxixiyu, but directly criticized: "You have one of the biggest problems: too much analysis and neglect of evidence research. When discussing Zhang Shiyong, you never thought of'clothing' This exhibit is also now. In fact, the key evidence for solving the case, you have mentioned it earlier, but did not think deeply. Now I don’t want to break it, you go home and think about it, and solve the case early tomorrow."

——

The weather is gloomy tonight with rain forecast. While observing and surveying in the villa, Xu Xu had heard the rain on the roof. I didn't expect to wait for the two to stand outside the gate, and the curtain of rain was pouring down. The woods and distant mountains are even darker and darker in the night rain.

Xu Xu shivered slightly, took out a small folding umbrella from the bag, and turned to ask Ji Bai: "Have you brought an umbrella?"

Ji Bai carried a heavy bag with an umbrella and shook his head lightly: "No."

The villa occupies a large area, and the parking lot has to walk dozens of meters. Xu Xu stretched out his umbrella and handed him, then stood beside him.

The ground was slippery, the water was flowing, and the rain was noisy. Ji Bai held an umbrella in one hand and walked side by side with her in the heavy rain. And she hung her head slightly, exposing a small, thin neck, and the expression on her side was calm and indifferent.

This was the time when the two were closest to each other in a few days, but Ji Bai was not as itchy as usual. Instead, I felt a pleasant tranquility. He was so comfortable that he didn't want to do anything to disturb him.

It was just that although he almost hit the umbrella on top of her head, but when he lowered his head, he still saw that half of her shoulders were exposed outside the umbrella, and there were already a few drops of water.

The sound of rain in my ears was as dense as a drum, and the drops of water dripped silently along the hair roots, as if flowing into Ji Bai's heart. He put his hand on her shoulder and hugged it gently.

Xu Xu was buried in the road, feeling his shoulders sink, and the familiar warmth surrounded him, slightly stunned.

It was totally an intuitive response-a certain possibility that was once rejected by her, again like a feather, slashed across the heart clearly.

Turning his head, he saw that Ji Bai's hair had been wet, and his black hair was attached to his forehead, and he looked at her with heavy eyes.

——

Staring around, Ji Bai held her hand still. It's just that her eyes are too clear and compelling, and she clearly sees through and examines, and wants to discern the clues from his eyes.

For a moment of silence, Ji Bai said faintly: "What a stunned? The umbrella is so small, you both have to catch a cold. Let's go."

"Oh."

The two accelerated their pace.

It was just that Xu Xu was not as indifferent as Ji Bai thought, and she took a few more steps before she realized that the powerful hand on her shoulder and his slightly steaming chest made her unable to tell the whole body. Uncomfortable, the heartbeat also significantly accelerated.

As soon as he got to the car, Ji Bai's hand naturally let go: "Get in the car quickly."

——

At three o'clock in the morning, Ji Bai sent Xu Xu home and left as usual.

Xu Xu lay in bed, thinking of the "key evidence" he said, and fell asleep. At a certain moment, I suddenly woke up, and what first appeared to me was Ji Bai's handsome Shen Yi's profile. His tall and tall body seemed to leave a deep projection in his mind, lingering.

Xu Xu thinks that Ji Bai is not unusual-although he looks stern, he actually cares about every subordinate. At that time, it was raining at night, and the umbrella was small. Instead, Zhao Han Yao Meng estimated that he would take care of it.

What made her feel abnormal was himself-he was obviously based on the embrace of revolutionary friendship, why did it always seem that the aftertaste has not faded? The thought made her uneasy.

In the end, Xu Xu couldn't sleep, wrapped her quilt on her chin, and sat on the bed thinking: She is an instinctive woman. Recently she has frequently noticed Ji Bai's male limbs, which is more likely to be caused by hormones during the menstrual period.

——

Early the next morning, Xu Xu arrived at the police station and met Ji Bai head-on. The thought of rampant hormones made her attitude calm: "Master, I think of the key evidence."

Ji Bai is also very frank, frankly trying to figure out-he hadn't intended to be so quick. So he nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Soon, Ye Jin was invited to the police station.

Ji Bai did not talk to her immediately, but left her in the interrogation room.

Time passed by one minute and one second, the sun was getting brighter and brighter, and the little interrogation room showed a kind of hot quietness. Ye Jin was wearing a black suit and skirt. His thin body sat upright, his delicate face drooped slightly, and a gesture of quiet waiting.

Such anomalous composure caused the criminal police who had no doubt about her to have doubts.

Zhao Han said: "Smart is mistaken by clever, pretending to be too calm, but makes us more skeptical."

Ji Bai glanced at her through the look glass and replied: "No, she is calm because she has expected the result."

Everyone was stunned, and then looking at Ye Jin, the mood was a little indescribable.

Finally, good news came from colleagues who went to Ye's investigation and forensics. Ji Bai took the appraisal report and entered the interrogation room with old Wu.

Ye Jin raised her head, her expression was mild but gentle. It's just that after the calm and sharp look at the last season, Bai had a moment of stunnedness, and then a faint look flashed.

Outside the interrogation, an old criminal police sighed: "This woman is really not easy."

Asked some basic questions, Ji Bai cut to the main question: "From 7 to 10 that night, where are you?"

The same problem, this time, Ye Jin chose to be silent.

Ji Bai continued: "In fact, from the beginning, I was very puzzled. A criminal who can handle the scene so neatly must know that the less traces left on the scene, the lower the risk, and how can it be used so redundantly' The paper knife' disguise the scene. Unless she wants to cover up, there are more obvious traces."

Ye Jin looked at him quietly, silently.

"Ye Ziqiang loves Swiss army knives. If there is a limited edition or advanced custom Swiss army knives on his keys, it should be normal. But he didn't." Ji Bai said hurriedly, "the knife left by this army knife The scars are very special. Lin City also has a limited number of people who can buy top-end expensive sabers from abroad, so it is easy to find them."

Ye Jin looked slightly stern, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ji Bai also said: "Ye Ziqiang has an impulsive personality and has a history of violent fighting. It is more likely that he killed Ye Zixi by mistake and then used a Swiss army knife to create a wound similar to a "blade crime" in an attempt to confuse the police. But it happened That night, you called the phone for work reasons, maybe he told you about it, and he left such an obvious clue, you can only try to remedy. Use a real paper knife to cover the wound caused by the Swiss army knife .Where to buy a paper knife in the evening? It’s easy for you to take charge of company administration and enter the warehouse to get a paper knife."

Ye Jin kept silent.

"Of course, you must modify the inventory record afterwards to cover up this matter. But we have obtained the supply record of the supplier who provided office supplies to Ye. The comparison shows that on the day of the case, the warehouse did indeed have five cuts. Paper knife. And we have called out the company surveillance video. After work that night, only you have entered the office supplies warehouse. And..." Ji Bai stared at her with a clear eye, "Different manufacturers, different origins, different batches of knife quality It is different. After the same appraisal, the paper cutters on Ye Zixi's body are the same batch of products as your company's warehouse cutters."

After a moment of silence, Ye Jin looked up and looked at Ji Bai calmly, saying: "In fact, if you don't come to me today, I will come to the police station."

After a pause, she whispered: "I will not let Xiao Qiao blame us."
