Card Room - 3. Chap Chapter 003

[Chapter 3-Rose Funeral-Middle]

Xiao Lou’s major is forensic medicine, and he is best at toxicological identification, but he has liked detective and reasoning novels since he was a child, and he also likes to play escape room games, so he is very familiar with the basic reasoning process.

When the police are dealing with homicides, if they can find the scene of the first crime, they will be of great help to the detection of the case.

Xiao Lou judged that this was not the scene of the first crime. The reason is actually very simple.

The heart is the blood supply center of the human body. It is like a powerful pump, which can pump blood to all parts of the body by beating regularly every minute. The fatal injury of the deceased was in the heart, and the knife was inserted close to the aorta. If the deceased was stabbed to death on the bed, the blood spewed from the aorta would splash on pillows, sheets and even walls.

The surroundings are very clean, without any traces of blood spattering.

Her blood only soaked the clothes on her chest. Judging from the amount of bleeding, it was about 100cc, which is not as good as half of the blood taken when a normal person went to donate blood. She was obviously killed elsewhere and waited for the blood to flow almost. , Was moved to the bed in the bedroom.

Killing, bleeding, and putting the deceased on a bed covered with rose petals, the murderer was obviously a psychopath!

Xiao Lou turned around and went to the kitchen, searching for other evidence on the one hand, and also wanted to confirm his inference.

There were blood stains on the dirty clothes left by the deceased in the bathroom, but from his professional point of view, they were not blood stains at all, but more like juice. The first thing he thought of was the kitchen, which was closely related to juice.

Xiao Lou walked into the kitchen and saw a watermelon on the table. The watermelon was cut in half. One half should be eaten. The remaining half is now rotten and smelly-the blood-stained stain on the hostess’s clothes is watermelon juice.

There was a fruit knife inserted in the watermelon, Xiao Lou gently pulled out the fruit knife.

The sharp, sharp, slender fruit knife was exactly the same as the fatal wound on the hostess’s body he found when he checked the corpse just now.

This fruit knife is the murder weapon to kill the heroine!

Xiao Lou’s heart beat violently.

He began to search the kitchen carefully. If he guessed right, this is the real first crime scene!

The kitchen should have been cleaned and there should be no obvious blood stains.

He knelt down and went to the corner to check the floor drain, and found some hair on the edge of the floor drain-short black hair about 3cm in length, obviously belonging to men. There are still a few drops of uncleaned blood on the wall behind the water pipe.

The discovery of the scene of the first crime and the murder weapon made the collection of clues reach 70% in an instant.

Xiao Lou routinely turned the trash can over. The kitchen trash can contains a lot of vegetable leaves, fruit peels, egg shells, and frozen meat packaging bags. It can be inferred that the heroine should have cooked a meal at home before she died. And it is more than two people, vegetarian dishes plus meat, at least five dishes, she can’t eat so much by herself.

In addition, no refrigerators or cabinets were found.

Xiao Lou turned and went out. There is a large bouquet of roses on the dining table facing the kitchen. The glass vase with the roses is very delicate, the water in it is still very clear, the roses are blooming very well, but some of the flowers have been removed, most likely it is the rose petals in the bedroom origin of.

Xiao Lou turned the trash can in the restaurant upside down and buckled it on the ground. In addition to removing some of the peel from the garbage, there was also a greeting card, a heart-shaped card commonly used in flower shops, with vigorous and powerful writing on it. It read: “Happy birthday, my husband will always love you.”

The clue collection rate has become 75%, and roses and greeting cards are obviously helpful to the reasoning of the case.

Xiao Lou walked into the study room opposite the dining table.

The bookcase that occupies one wall contains many medical books and several monographs on cardiac surgery.

Next to the bookcase is a very common desk with a lamp. There are three drawers on the right side of the table, and a small cabinet with doors on the left. Xiao Lou opened the drawer and found in the first drawer the passport and the medical practitioner qualification certificate, which belonged to the male owner of this family. He finally knew the information of the male owner-Zhao Sen, born on October 26, 1988, Han nationality, Is a surgeon.

In the other drawers, there are lists of payment of property fees, bank receipts and medical papers, which are not very helpful to the case.

Xiao Lou closed the drawer and opened the cabinet door in the lower left corner.

A black safe was found in the cabinet with a code lock. It is a four-row digital code disk, from top to bottom, they are 123, 456, 789, *0#. He has seen many such safes. After pressing the correct digital code , Then press # key to unlock.

Number password…

The figures involved in this case are currently only the birthdays of the male and female owners.

The best friend gave the hostess perfume and said happy birthday; the greeting card of the restaurant, the husband gave her roses, and also said happy birthday. Multiple clues mentioned “birthday”, this date is certainly not simple.

The birthday of the host can be found on the doctor’s qualification certificate, October 26, 1988. Xiao Lou remembers the hostess’s birthday very clearly. On the greeting card written by her best friend, the final date of signature is July 17th.

The password box of the safe is a four-digit number. He enters 1026, prompting that the password is wrong. Xiao Lou immediately entered the hostess’s birthday 0717 and pressed the # key.

With a “pop”, the clear sound broke the tranquility of the murder scene, and the safe opened.

——The clue collection rate suddenly reached 90%!

At this point, there are 18 minutes left in the countdown.

The inside of the safe is an upper and lower structure with a folder on the upper level. Xiao Lou took it out and flipped it quickly, extracting key information at a glance.

In the two insurance contracts, the insured’s name is Zou Xiaomei and the beneficiary’s name is Zhao Sen. The relationship between the two is husband and wife. On the contrary, the insured person Zhao Sen and the beneficiary Zou Xiaomei.

The husband and wife bought commercial insurance for each other, including medical critical illness insurance and personal accident insurance, and the annual payment amount was more than 10,000 yuan. If the insured is hospitalized for serious illnesses such as tumors or cardiovascular diseases, all hospitalization expenses within 500,000 can be reimbursed; if the insured dies accidentally, the beneficiary can directly receive up to 2 million yuan in compensation from the insurance company.

Xiao Lou was frightened when he saw this insurance contract.

He also bought commercial medical insurance for his parents. It is normal for relatives to buy insurance for each other. However, it is not uncommon for him to swindle and protect the murder case. He once saw the news that his son killed his mother just to obtain insurance money by defrauding him.

In this case, the relationship between husband and wife has broken down. Once Zou Xiaomei died in an accident, Zhao Sen would receive up to 2 million yuan in compensation!

Xiao Lou got a chill on his back, put down the insurance contract and continued to turn over the safe on the lower floor.

There are several photo albums on the lower level.

There are many photos of Zhao Sen in the album, from elementary school to junior high school, high school, and university graduation, recording his complete growth trajectory. He should be congenital myopia and wore glasses when he was very young. Judging from the photo album, Zhao Sen is on the surface a very gentle and easy-going person—because he is smiling in every picture.

In addition to personal photo albums, there are also several wedding photo albums. When the couple first got married, they seemed to be very affectionate. The man was very gentlemanly hugging his wife, while the woman was leaning against his arms like a bird, smiling sweetly.

Turn back again…

Xiao Lou saw the photos of the wedding scene.

There is a group photo of four people, in addition to the bride and groom, there are also the best man and the bridesmaids.

This group photo was obviously taken from the side, and none of the four people looked at the camera. In the photo, the bride and groom are smiling at each other. The bridesmaid looks affectionately at the best man, while the best man not far away stands in the crowd holding a goblet to toast, but staring straight at him. The bride looks.

Xiao Lou immediately cheered up.

——The fourth person related to the case has appeared!

The best man appeared in Zhao Sen’s personal album. In Zhao Sen’s graduation photo, there were two people with shoulders on the shoulders. They should be good friends. Zhao Sen would invite him to be his best man when he got married.

It stands to reason that friends’ wives should not be deceived, and men tend to avoid suspicion against the wives of good buddies, but the straightforward, prey-looking gaze of the best man is obviously not the attitude he should have towards his brother’s wife.

Xiaolou continued to look through the safe, and found a file bag in a secret location on the bottom floor.

When I opened it, there was a contract in the file bag, which was an investigation agreement secretly signed between Zhao Sen and a private investigator. The contents of the investigation were the relationship between his cousin He Yongqiang, his wife Zou Xiaomei, and his wife’s best friend Liu Yun. When Xiao Lou pulled out the contract, a large pile of photos also fell out.

He picked up the photos, and all the three people were shopping and eating together. In some photos, Liu Yun and He Yongqiang hold hands and behave intimately. In some photos, it was Zou Xiaomei and He Yongqiang holding hands and embracing—he Yongqiang, a scumbag, apparently stepped on two boats, fell in love with the young and beautiful Liu Yun, and hooked up with his cousin!

The last few photos are very large-scale, Zou Xiaomei wearing a light silk pajamas, and He Yongqiang in the bedroom…

These photos at home were taken from a bird’s-eye view, and there is a time stamp in the upper right corner. Obviously, Zhao Sen has installed a surveillance camera at this time to monitor his wife’s movements at any time. These photos are from Screenshot in monitoring.

Xiao Lou: “…”

What a terrible drama!

It was not the hostess Zhao Sen who cheated, but the hostess Zou Xiaomei who died on the bed!

If he did not open the safe in the study, he might misjudge the male protagonist to cheat on his girlfriend, and the female protagonist tore off the marriage certificate angrily. Now it seems that it was the heroine who cheated, and the target of the cheating was her husband’s cousin, girlfriend’s boyfriend…

This reversal was caught off guard.

Xiao Lou put down the photo in shock, and quickly adjusted his mood. He looked at the prompt in the floating frame. The clue collection rate was fixed at 90%, and the safe was a big clue that accounted for 15%. From the clues in the safe, he knew the names of everyone involved in the case-the deceased Zou Xiaomei, her husband Zhao Sen, his lover He Yongqiang, and his girlfriend Liu Yun.

There is an intricate relationship between these four people. He Yongqiang is Zhao Sen’s cousin and Liu Yun’s boyfriend. Zou Xiaomei and He Yongqiang cheated, which is equivalent to putting two green hats on her husband Zhao Sen and girlfriend Liu Yun at the same time.

As victims, Zhao Sen and Liu Yun have reasons to kill her. But who the specific murderer is, still needs further confirmation.

The clue collection rate was 90%, only the last key clue was not found.

Xiao Lou turned around and went to the living room, rummaged through it carefully, but found nothing.

When he was looking for the last children’s room, he found a mobile phone and a power bank beside the pillows in the children’s room. The phone was covered with a pink case and belonged to the deceased Zou Xiaomei.

Such a key clue is actually in the farthest children’s room where most people will not search first!

Xiao Lou’s eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the phone.

He pressed the power button, a line prompting “Please enter the password” popped up on the screen, and a digital password disk appeared.

Xiao Lou subconsciously entered the heroine’s birthday “0717”, however, a warning popped up on the screen: “Password verification error. After 5 errors, the phone will be automatically locked. The remaining number is 4.”

He immediately entered the male host’s birthday 1026, prompting: “The password verification is incorrect. After five errors, the phone will be automatically locked, and the remaining number is 3.”

Not a birthday password? what is that?

The countdown in the floating box has 15 minutes left.

Xiao Lou frowned and fell into contemplation.

He has searched all bedrooms, bathrooms, study rooms, children’s rooms, kitchens, and guest dining rooms. The female host’s birthday is July 17th, and the male host’s birthday is October 26th. Other than that, nothing has anything to do with numbers. Clues.

If it is in reality, the deceased’s mobile phone password can be set at will, and if the police cannot solve it, a professional technician will be used to crack it. But now, he was alone in the secret room, and found the phone, but he couldn’t solve the password, he couldn’t guess it, right?

Xiao Lou picked up the phone and thought for a while, then turned back to the bedroom.

The phone locks the screen and a prompt “please enter the password” pops up. Most people may wonder what the password is and waste time looking for password clues.

But Xiao Lou had searched the entire room as quickly as possible just now, and he was confident that there was nothing left out.

Since the password of the phone is not a birthday, there are no other clues related to numbers in the whole house. Therefore, the prompt “please enter the password” popped up by the mobile phone may also be an “interference item”.

——Who said that only the password can be input to unlock the phone?

Xiao Lou took the phone back to the master bedroom, walked to the bed of Rose, raised the deceased’s right hand, and put her right thumb on the fingerprint button of the phone.

The pink mobile phones and power banks left at home naturally belong to the hostess.

The hostess was lying on the bed, although it was a corpse, but her fingers were still there.

Wouldn’t it be more convenient to use her fingerprint to unlock it?
