Before the blood even dried up, Xia De frowned slightly and asked:
"Has the body not moved?"
"No."
Deputy Director Morris said, and took the initiative to introduce the situation at that time:
"The servant who passed by the door found that the door was open, so he wanted to lock the door, and then found the body. The screaming attracted other people who happened to be in the corridor at the time, which led to more than a dozen people entering here I saw a dead body."
Xia De nodded, left the room and came to the door, opened the door and looked into the door through the crack:
"It is true that the feet of the corpse can be seen from the door, which is no problem. But since so many people have entered, the marks on the carpet are meaningless."
He knelt down before the corpse again:
"The only wound was on the back of the head, indicating that the attack came from behind. Since this Mr. Daniel Philip was a soldier of the New World Pioneering Corps, he should not let the person holding the murder weapon approach his back easily, and he was even killed without any resistance. This shows that the murderer should be an acquaintance."
He said pretendingly, and let Tifa stand in front of him again, he picked up the bronze swan statue, and made a swinging movement behind Tifa:
"Since it was killed by one blow, it means that the murderer must have used the most favorable posture and made the most powerful swing, so judging from the position of the wound on the back of the corpse's head..."
He pressed the back of Tifa's head with his free hand, and then kept bending his legs until he found a position that just hit the wound:
"The murderer is about two inches (about 5 cm) shorter than Mr. Daniel Phillips. In addition..."
He handed the statue to Tifa in turn:
"Shen?"
The "weak" maid nodded:
"Yes, very heavy."
Then they called the maids in the next room who had witnessed the corpse, and they also said that the bronze statue was very heavy.
Xia De asked the housekeeper to send someone to move the plaster statues that could be destroyed at will, and then smashed one of them with a bronze statue, and asked Deputy Chief Morris and the senior police superintendent to try to smash the plaster statues with murder weapons , and then Shad gets the conclusion:
"For ordinary ladies, it is very difficult to lift this bronze statue and swing it, let alone kill a grown man with a full blow. Even for men, if they are not trained, it is difficult to do it. With such a forceful swing, I noticed that the wound on the back of the corpse's head penetrated deeply."
So to summarize the current situation:
"The murderer was an acquaintance with the deceased, Mr. Daniel Philips. He was two inches shorter than the deceased. He was most likely male, and he was not of thin body."
He squinted his eyes and stood up:
"These are not the key points. The key point is that Mr. Daniel Philip died here. Judging from the blood at the scene, this is the scene of the first crime, but how did the people who attended the banquet come here?"
He asked about the situation of this room, and the last servant who came to the room has been found. According to him, because the gift will be shipped away soon, this room is not locked, but generally there will be no one. come here. All the people who came to the banquet were decent people, and there was no need to worry about someone stealing, so in theory, anyone could have entered the room.
There was no appointment letter on the body, and the clues seemed to be interrupted. But for Xia De, he was not a professional detective. Even if this group of people were not present, he would immediately sprinkle bone meal, channel his soul and ask who killed him.
The so-called "reasoning" just now was just to show that he was very professional. In fact, he didn't care whether what he said was right or wrong. Because obviously, the wound on the back of the head is too big, since blood can be stained on the murder weapon, it will naturally be stained on the murderer's body.
There may be very few bloodstains, but fortunately the bloodstains are quite fresh, which is the best target for Shade's [Echo of Blood].
He pretended to take Tifa to explore the room, and when he closed the door again and checked behind the door panel, he said in surprise:
"Look at this!"
Shade is very
I wish I had a magnifying glass in my hand, but I can see where he is pointing with the naked eye. Tifa is the closest to the Shad, so she can see it best:
"Behind the door, there are freshly stained bloodstains. The bloodstains are small and unclear."
"oh?"
This was not discovered by the people who inspected the scene just now, and they all came to check, Xia De said:
"Such fresh blood should be left by the murderer. Judging from the position, a certain part of the finger touched the door panel."
"But why did the murderer leave blood behind the door panel?"
"Let's replay the situation when the body was found. You will be the servant who saw the door ajar, and the others will be the people in the corridor. As for me, I will stay here."
This was a very simple request, so everyone withdrew from the door, and soon Deputy Director Morris exclaimed in a low voice at the door:
"Oh God, what's going on here?"
Then people all poured into the room, but they didn't see Shad in the room.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
At this time, Xia De's voice came from behind, and he stood at the end of the crowd.
"So it turned out that the murderer was discovered before he could leave! So he hid behind the door and mingled into the crowd!"
Senior Superintendent Johnson said, then frowned:
"So the murderer now..."
"Yes, right next door, with His Royal Highness Adelina."
The crime scene was temporarily closed, and people followed Xia De to the next room. Fortunately, there was no second murder. The people staying here temporarily at this time include the servants of the Yodel Palace and the guests who came to the banquet, including Raphael Birmingham and Henry Marfar, whom Larouse III fancy The other two candidates.
"This murder is definitely not a planned murder, because the murder that happened in the Yodel Palace will definitely be solved, and no one will be stupid enough to put the crime location here. After the murder, the prisoner was able to escape in a planned way without showing any flaws. This shows that the other party's psychological quality is excellent, and I think we can distinguish each other from the people who have entered the scene."
Xia De told Princess Adelina of his deduction, so with the help of the princess, a total of fifteen people were asked some questions, focusing on why they appeared in the corridor at the moment just now.
According to everyone's answers, combined with Xia De's judgment on the prisoner's shape and personality, three more suspects were found out of the fifteen people. During the somewhat lengthy interrogation, Shad gave Tifa his coat and entrusted her to temporarily leave the Yodle Palace to do something.
The three who were finally distinguished from the fifteen people were the duke's son Raphael Birmingham whom Shad considered humble and kind, Henry Mafar, the duke's son who wanted to play Rhodes with Shad not long ago, and John The manservant of the Palazzo delle, George Vane.
The three were identified as being suspected of major crimes, and when Shad picked out the three of them, "she" also chuckled in Xia De's ear.
I swear it wasn't retaliation, they were really suspected. "
Shad emphasized.
[I didn't say anything, you don't have to explain. 】
"She" seemed to be in a good mood and replied.
A separate room was used for the final interrogation, while the other suspects listened to conversations outside in a small study inside the room. And Xia De, who had already proved his reputation as a "famous detective" before, also conducted a final questioning.
For reasons known only to Shad, the three suspects were brought together for questioning. They sat on the sofa against the wall, the duke's sons were just a little anxious, but the manservant was really panicking.
In his opinion, if the real murderer cannot be found in the end, letting him take the blame is probably the best outcome for this unlucky incident tonight.
"Cough cough."
Xia De coughed, but he didn't sit down, but the little princess was sitting behind the desk
, and the others stood on both sides of the table, watching Shad make the final "judgment".
"The current situation has been explained to you before. The murderer of poor Mr. Philip~www.mtlnovel.com~ mixed with the crowd who found the body, trying to escape his crime, and the three of you are the best fit for the murderer Conditions, and can't explain why I was the person who appeared in the corridor at that time."
"Going to the bathroom" can't be used as an excuse here, because there is no bathroom in that direction. The excuse given by the two noble youths was "the gift was inappropriate and I wanted to take it away quietly", and the excuse given by the manservant was that they went the wrong way.
These sounds are lies.
Of course, there was no blood on the fingers of the three that could be identified with the naked eye. They must have tried to wipe it off while waiting in the room.
"I actually already know who the murderer is, I can give you one last chance, who will take the initiative to admit it?"
Xia De asked, the male servant was already a little desperate at this time, and Xia De said that it was clear that he hadn't noticed it at all. Mr. Raphael Birmingham smiled and shook his head slightly, while Mr. Henry Mafar, who was trying to invite Shade to play Rhodes, was nervously wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
No one at the scene believed Xia De's words, but in fact, he made so many reasonings, only the sentence "I already know who the murderer is" is the most serious.
"At the beginning of the year, the haunting incident at the Tobesk country house, and the case of the robber of the century, you must have heard of it. Compared with that incident, this case is not complicated. Yes, I already know All the truth. In the name of Detective Hamilton of the Place Saint Teresa, speak out, and I will give you one last chance."
Xia De announced his reputation loudly, and the people behind him watched his "performance" with great interest, while the three people on the sofa by the wall had different expressions, and none of them spoke for a while.
