Mystery Hunter - Chapter 169

[Chapter 169 Murder in the Secret Room]

The police car stopped at the entrance of the small building, and everyone saw that there were four or five people surrounding Ge Dongyun’s house. Some of these people are carrying cameras, while others are simply holding mobile phones, it seems that they are all journalists. Not far from the small building of Ge Dongyun’s house, there are some residents in the community watching from a distance.

These people were chatting and talking about Ge Dongyun’s death.

“We just received a notification from the informant that Ge Dongyun has been killed by the murderer.”

“Right now we are downstairs from Ge Dongyun’s house, but Ge Dongyun’s mother will not open the door for us anyway.”

“Brothers, I’m at the scene, I belong to this community. I heard that Ge Dongyun is dead, eh, the police came from behind.”

Hearing the young man’s words, reporters gathered around and asked the members of the task force all kinds of questions. As Shao Lao walked forward with a few people, he said, “Everyone, please, we are here to investigate the case, not to be interviewed.”

After speaking, Shao Lao looked at Yuan Jun: “Yuan Jun, guard at the door, Don’t let anyone in.”

“Understood.” Yuan Jun stretched out his hands and stopped the reporters in front of him: “Everyone, please cooperate with the police, stand where you should be, and don’t cross the line.”

But at the same time, Lao Shao’s mind was filled with a question – how did these reporters know that Ge Dongyun was killed.

“Mother Ge, open the door.” Elder Shao pressed the doorbell.

Moments later, Mother Ge opened the door.

Mother Ge’s eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered with tears. The white dress she was wearing was covered in blood, and her arms were also covered in coagulated blood. Beside Ge’s mother, a security guard was standing there. When he saw the police coming, he nodded slightly at everyone.

Seeing the arrival of the members of the task force, Mother Ge’s tears burst again.

“Hey, condolences.” Xu Yiman walked up and patted Mother Ge’s back lightly.

Although Mother Ge is already the mother of a child, she is only twenty-seven years old, a few years younger than Xu Yiman. Such a life change is not something a weak woman can bear. It’s okay for Xu Yiman not to comfort him. As soon as he comforted him, the sadness and grievances in Ge’s heart surged out, and he couldn’t control it.

Jiang He ignored this and asked directly, “Is Ge Dongyun’s body in the bedroom on the second floor?”

Mother Ge nodded.

Shao Lao looked at Ge’s mother and said, “The most urgent task is to find the murderer first. My condolences, I know you are in a very sad mood right now, but the time is short. One more minute to check the scene will give you one more chance of winning.”

“Okay…” Mother Ge nodded, and then, with Xu Yiman’s help, followed Mr. Shao to the second floor.

Jiang He took the lead and stood at the door of Ge Dongyun’s bedroom on the second floor, looking inside.

As Mr. Shao walked upstairs, he said, “When did you find out that Ge Dongyun died? Tell me about the process in detail, don’t let go of any details.”

Mother Ge replied, “Dongyun has been up late these days, because She doesn’t go to school, so I always send my son Dong Ai to kindergarten before I come back to make breakfast for Dong Yun, and then ask her to eat. Every time I come back, it’s about 8:40. A good meal should be around nine o’clock.”

“After that, I called Dongyun to eat, but I waited for more than ten minutes and she didn’t come down. She usually doesn’t do this. I only have to shout a few times each time, although she won’t agree. , but it won’t take long before I open the door and come down to eat. I wondered if Dongyun was feeling unwell today, so I went up to the second floor and knocked on the door.” During the

conversation, Ge’s mother could hardly control it, unable to say anything. words come.

Xu Yiman patted her on the shoulder, and then Mother Ge continued: “I shouted outside the door for a long time, but she didn’t respond. I thought it was very strange, and I wondered if Dongyun had gone out. But I I called her and heard the ringing coming from her bedroom. I took the backup key and tried to open the door, but the door was locked from the inside and no one could open it with the key from outside.”

“This means that Dong Yun was in the house, but no matter how I called, she would not open the door.” Mother Ge said as she recalled, “I was a little scared at the time because I was afraid that Dong Yun was ill, so I called the property. The security is here.” The

security nodded and said, “We received a call from Ms. Wang, and the property sent me over. At Ms. Wang’s request, I slammed the door open with her.”

“After entering, I just saw Dong Yun lying on the bed with her back to the door. Logically speaking, with such a loud voice, why should Dong Yun get up, but she didn’t move. I hurried over, but my hand just touched When I was in the quilt, I felt something was wet. I stretched out my hand and saw that it was blood. I lifted the quilt and the bed was covered in blood. I was completely stunned. I hugged Dongyun and called her, but she She is already dead, with a knife stuck in her chest.”

Mother Ge cried and said, “She has no pulse, no heartbeat, and even the wound doesn’t bleed outside…” The

security guard said, “At that time, I told Ge Dongyun After a simple inspection, it was found that she was dead. After that, Ms. Wang informed you that we are here waiting for you to come.”

“If this is the case, it seems that she has been dead for a while.” Xu Yiman sighed said in a breath.

While the others were talking, Jiang He had been standing in the doorway of the bedroom observing for a while. The last time Jiang He came, Ge Dongyun’s bedroom was clean and spacious, but after this visit, Ge Dongyun’s bedroom was a mess – the chair that Lao Shao once sat on fell to the ground, and a blood-stained quilt was piled on the ground. . Books on the table and water glasses filled with water were scattered all over the place.

On the bed, there was Ge Dongyun’s body lying flat. On Ge Dongyun’s left chest, a western-style kitchen knife had penetrated without roots. From that position, it was the heart. Judging from the position of the dagger handle, the kitchen knife is parallel to the ribs, piercing through the intercostal muscles, and is hardly blocked by the ribs, so it can penetrate without root.

After standing at the door and taking pictures of the crime scene, Jiang He put on his white gloves and walked in, with Lao Shao following behind. Xu Yiman comforted Mother Ge a few times, and walked in with his equipment.

This bedroom is large and spacious enough, with a wall of closets that run the height of the house, and on the other side, a smaller ensuite that looks like a bathroom.

The bed was placed in the middle of the room. This large bed seemed to be more than enough for three people, and Ge Dongyun was on one side of the bed.

Xu Yiman looked at Ge Dongyun, and gently opened Ge Dongyun’s eyelids with her hands. Then, she pinched Ge Dongyun’s biceps. After that, Xu Yiman said, “The eyeballs are not cloudy yet, by pressing The muscles of the deceased can feel the weak muscle hyperactivity.”

After speaking, Xu Yiman touched Ge Dongyun’s jaw again and said, “The corpse has just formed, usually starting from the lower jaw and gradually spreading to the whole.”

“The corpse is about It occurs within one to three hours after a person’s death, and the muscle hypersensitivity reaction occurs within two hours after a person’s death. By comparing the temperature and humidity at the scene, the approximate time of death can be obtained about an hour and a half ago. , that is, around 8:20. To get a more specific time of death, a complete autopsy is required.”

After speaking, Xu Yiman looked at the Western-style kitchen knife stuck in Ge Dongyun’s body again.

“The kitchen knife pierced through the gap between the fourth and fifth ribs. The location was very accurate. Even without much effort, the heart could be easily pierced.” Xu Yiman frowned and said: “This kind of Western-style kitchen knives have tiny serrations in front of the blade, like small blood troughs, even if they don’t pull them out, Ge Dongyun’s bleeding will be huge.”

“I didn’t find any other wounds on Ge Dongyun’s body, but from the current situation, it is inferred that the bleeding caused by the rupture of the heart and the lack of blood supply to the brain are the most direct causes of death.”

Xu Yiman said gently. He touched the handle of the knife and added: “The murderer is very professional and has a certain amount of medical knowledge. He placed the knife parallel to the ribs, and chose between the fourth and fifth ribs, almost killing him with one blow, killing Ge Dongyun. I didn’t even have time to call for help and struggle.” “The murderer is deliberate.” Shao

Lao said, “This way he won’t be found and won’t cause a commotion, but the question is, how did the murderer get in?”

He looked at Mother Ge and asked, “Do you know what time Ge Dongyun gets up every day?”

“I don’t know either. Maybe if I don’t call her, she will just sleep all the time…” Mother Ge said with her head lowered.

Jiang He asked, “Are you sure the door is locked?”

Mother Ge nodded, “As soon as she returns to the room, she will lock the door. I know that she never likes to talk to me, nor does she keep the door locked. We treat her as her family, she usually locks herself in the house, and I don’t know what she is doing.” The

security guard also said, “I can testify that the door was locked. I tried to push the door and use the key to open the door, but I couldn’t open it. In the end, I had no choice, so I slammed the door open with Ms. Wang.” When the

two were talking, Jiang He was not idle, he kept watching the door lock, Neither of them lied, the door was indeed locked before it was violently broken open. And once this kind of lock is locked from the inside, even if the person outside has the door key, it will not help, and can only wait for the person inside to take the initiative to open the door.

Jiang He walked to the window again, and found that the window was locked from the inside. This is a common sliding window. The left sash faces inward and the right sash is outside. There is a crescent lock on the left window. This kind of crescent lock can move up and down 180 degrees. When the lock handle is facing up, it means that the window is not locked. , when the lock handle is down, it means the window is locked.

Jiang He noticed that although the handle of the crescent lock was facing down, it was not perpendicular to the ground, but had an included angle of about twenty degrees. At the same time, he also noticed that the lock was not damaged by violence. He tried to push and pull it left and right, but the window remained motionless and could not be opened.

There were no signs of damage to the door or windows, Jiang He thought about it, and walked quickly into the bedroom’s suite, which was the bathroom. The bathroom had a bathtub and toilet, but no windows, it was a closed space.

“The entire bedroom is one big secret room!” Jiang He said.
