Chapter 403 Suspect
【Su Xinghuo’s confession: I was on the island all day yesterday, and at the beginning of the day the street crew notified me to return to the Sea Charm.
Originally, I wanted to go directly to King Si, but because I saw Miss Shi Yajing went to him, I read a book in my room.
At about two quarters of an hour in the first day of Xu (8:30 p.m.), I went to room No. 9. King Si seemed to be drinking, and there was an empty bottle of Zuihongchen wine bottle and two wine glasses on the table.
He seemed in a bad mood, first he apologized to me, drunk Hongchen finished his drink, and then went to the wine cabinet to get some wine. I was worried about his health and asked him to stop drinking.
At this time, the alarm talisman in the room made a vibrating sound like a cricket—it wasn't that the talisman detected something different, but that the power of the talisman itself was running out.
Yuan Jia took a stack of brand new talismans from the desk drawer, replaced the old ones, and pasted them on doors, windows, bedsides, etc.
I saw that he was drinking, so I asked him if he wanted to go to the island to sleep tonight—there was wind and waves at night, and the shaking of the boat would make people unable to sleep.
Either I stay in the house to watch over him, or send two of his bodyguards over.
He refused, saying that he was still under the curse, so he couldn’t land on the island, and he couldn’t implicate me. Besides, he didn’t trust the two guards very much.
He always felt that it was too coincidental that his elder brother fell off the horse and was injured.
Oh, by the way, he also said that I don’t have to worry about him, it’s just half a bottle of drunken mortals, so I won’t be too drunk to lose consciousness.
I stayed in Room No. 9 until around Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening), and then returned to my own cabin. 】
【Confessions of Sikong Ji and Sikong Qiu: We didn’t visit the island during the day yesterday, and stayed at the end of the aisle, which is next to the receptionist’s desk.
At the beginning of You (five o'clock in the afternoon), I saw the king coming out of the room, so I followed him to the deck.
Youzheng at a quarter of an hour (6:15 p.m.) heard him talking with Wu Yunjun about building a railway in Zhao County.
You are exactly three quarters of an hour, and we followed King Si back to the cabin, ready to do a routine inspection—that is, check whether the doors and windows are damaged, whether there are signs of alien invasion, and so on.
During the inspection process, Dai Xu, the talisman master on your ship, brought over a stack of talismans that were newly painted today.
He is a talisman master in Xunyunjing, and the alarm talisman drawn can last for seven days. Every seven days, the power of the talisman fades, and it must be replaced again.
We originally wanted to change the talisman for the king, but we were rejected. He said he changed it himself and asked us to go out.
We had no choice but to follow suit and left the room before Xuchu. 】
【Daxu's confession: I stayed on the island during the day, and returned to the Sea Charm at the beginning of the year to draw talismans in my own room. There are many talisman masters on the Sea Charm, and I am usually in charge of the VIP area. After spending the talisman, I sent the talisman to each room according to the list.
For example, the VIP in Room 1 reserved more Liliang charms, and the VIP in Room 5 reserved two Water Swimming and Shark Repelling Talismans—the couple can’t swim, but they want to dive.
By the way, they also asked me to write another insect repellent talisman, saying that I had an impromptu idea during the day and afternoon. When I returned to the boat to get the drawing board and drawing paper, I heard the rustling sound in the wooden boards of the cabin, and suspected that insects and ants had entered the boat.
I helped to deal with these trivial matters. At about four quarters of an hour in Youzheng, I went to Room 9 where the King Si was staying, and gave him the talisman.
He was the last one on the reservation list, and I went back to my room after it was settled. 】
When it was Li Ang's turn to be questioned, he truthfully answered his one-day experience. He went to the island during the day and went back to the cabin to sleep at night. He had neither contacted Xia Yuanjia nor entered Room No. 9. It can be said that he had the least intersection with the case. one of.
After the interrogation, the results of the autopsy came out.
The captain called all the people involved in the case to Room 10 to show the autopsy report.
The captain said in a deep voice: "The autopsy revealed that the cause of the king's death was that his neck was cut open with a sharp weapon, and he died within a very short period of time."
Su Xinghuo pursed his lips and said, "There are no needle holes on his body, the contents of his stomach are non-toxic, and the bottle of Zui Hongchen is also non-toxic."
Hearing that the wine was not given by him, Zhou Guo businessman Wu Yunjun heaved a sigh of relief, and soon realized that he should make a sad expression at this time, and quickly turned his relief into a cough.
No one cares about Wu Yunjun's mood change,
The guard Sikong Qiu frowned and asked, "How do you know that the bottle of wine and the contents in the king's stomach are not poisonous?"
“I used water and poured it into a wine bottle to get thin wine. I fed the wine to several boat cats and observed their performance.
The digestive residues in Si Wang's stomach were fed to the pigs raised by the residents of the island, and no signs of poisoning were found. "
Su Xinghuo ignored the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, and said to himself: "If it is on land, the inspection methods will be more diverse, but now there is no such condition, so we have to keep things simple.
In short, alcohol is non-toxic, and it does not have the ability to cause hallucinations—for example, it makes Yuan Jia feel that he is trapped in a great terror that he cannot break free, and kills himself with a knife in the hallucination. "
Su Xinghuo tilted his head towards singer Shi Yajing, "Also, I used the steam generated by heating iodine crystals to fumigate the wine glass, and only found the fingerprints of Yuan Jia and Miss Shi Yajing.
There is no poison residue in the wine glass. "
Using iodine crystal vapor to reveal fingerprints was invented by Li Ang.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, feeling a little emotional about the coincidence of the world.
"Then our suspicion has been cleared?"
Businessman Wu Yunjun of Zhou State hesitated and said, "The wine I sent is not poisonous."
"The problem now is not who is suspected, after all, most of us have entered Yuan Jia's No. 9 room.
The question is, how did the murderer kill Yuan Jia in the secret room, and how did he leave the secret room. "
Su Xinghuo walked out of Room 10, opened the door of Room 9, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please take a look at the scene.
This door was custom-made by Yuan Jia. It is surprisingly thick and has three locks, requiring three keys to open it.
Yuan Jia told me that he usually carries these three keys with him and puts them under his pillow when he sleeps. "
He carefully opened the pillow, and there were three heavy copper keys under it.
"Receptionist."
Su Xinghuo turned his head and said, "The spare key for Room No. 9 should still be with you, right?"
"Here I am."
The receptionist quickly picked up the jingling roulette on his waist, and found three identical keys from it.
Maybe he was worried that others would suspect him, so he said hastily: "I didn't leave these keys all day yesterday, and I didn't lend them to anyone."
Shi Yajing asked in a low voice: "Could it be that someone stole the spare key of Room No. 9 earlier and made a copy?"
"probably not."
Su Xinghuo shook his head, "Look at the half of the warning talisman stuck on the door frame.
Yuan Jia was always worried that someone would copy his room key, so every time before going out, he would glue an alarm talisman on the door frame.
So he knows when someone breaks in. "
