Mystery Hunter - Chapter 170

[Chapter 170]

“The bathroom has no door and no window. The bedroom door and window are locked from the inside.” Jiang He said, “This is an outright murder case in a secret room.”

“Murder in a secret room?” Hearing Jiang He’s words, Xu Xu Yiman frowned, she also walked to the window, stretched out her hand and pushed and pulled it a few times, but the window did not move at all, she said, “Mother Ge said just now that the door is locked, even if there is a key, it can’t be opened from the outside, I still I think the murderer should have come in through the window, the window is big enough and there are many decorations on the outer wall, the murderer is likely to climb up from the outside.” After

speaking, Xu Yiman shook his head: “But the window was locked from the inside. Ah. Even if the window was open before the murderer climbed up, he has to go out, he can’t lock himself in the house!”

After Xu Yiman said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly suddenly changed. down to freezing point. Xu Yiman didn’t realize what she was talking about when she said it, but when she finished speaking, she shuddered.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the big closet with the same wall. This wardrobe is so big, let alone one person, I am afraid that four or five people can hide in it. What Xu Yiman said unintentionally reminded everyone that the murderer had to run away after the murder, or he didn’t have time to run away.

It is very likely that when the murderer climbed in from the window, he silently stabbed Ge Dongyun to death. When he was about to escape, there might be a security guard downstairs, so he had to wait. But while waiting, Mother Ge went up to the second floor. When the phone rang, the murderer was really taken aback, so he locked the window and got into the big closet, intending to create the illusion of killing in a secret room. After the police left, Find another chance to leave.

If this guess is reliable, then the murderer must be hiding in the big closet at the moment!

Jiang He looked at the security guard, the security guard handed his baton to Jiang He, Jiang He nodded and stood gently in front of the wardrobe. This large wardrobe is divided into two parts in total, with a total of four doors. The door of this wardrobe is a sliding door, and opening one door will inevitably block another door.

Jiang He was standing next to the sliding door near the door. He held a baton in one hand and grabbed the handle of the sliding door with the other. Immediately afterwards, he opened the cabinet door. Apart from the numerous clothes, there was no one inside. Jiang He frowned and came to open the second door, the third door, and finally the fourth door.

However, Jiang He opened the four doors in a row, and there was not a single person inside except for the dense clothes. Since the doors could not be fully opened, opening one would inevitably block the other, so Jiang He decided to dig in and take a look. Holding a baton in one hand, he went straight in.

Ge Dongyun’s family is worthy of being a wealthy family. There is a wardrobe full of clothes hanging in this wardrobe. Jiang He noticed that these clothes were all brand-name and expensive. And basically it is a complete set, and the clothes and pants are matched properly. However, among the vast clothes like stars, there are not many skirts and dresses, only a few, and even the signs have not been torn off.

Jiang He didn’t have time to take care of this, all he had to do was to find out the murderer who was hiding in the closet. But when Jiang He turned around in the cabinet again and again, he realized that there was no murderer in the cabinet at all. He got out, handed the baton to the security guard, and said to the crowd, “There is no one in the closet.”

Xu Yiman sighed and said, “If there is no one in the closet, then there is no place to hide in this bedroom. That’s it.”

Several people nodded, but Elder Shao looked at the clothes in the wardrobe thoughtfully.

The security guard asked, “Is it possible to commit suicide? If this room is a big secret room, then suicide is the most likely option?”

“Suicide?” Xu Yiman looked at Ge Dongyun’s body and said, “It doesn’t look like much. Suicide.”

Shao Lao said: “It’s not suicide, anyone can commit suicide, but Ge Dongyun will not commit suicide, her character determines her behavior. She will not commit suicide, but this is a kitchen knife, your kitchen knife Is there one missing?”

“A kitchen knife? You mean this knife belongs to my family?” Mother Ge asked.

Shao Lao said: “There is such a possibility.”

Mother Ge scratched her head and said, “I have too many kitchen knives. I don’t know if this is my kitchen knife…”

“Okay, you all go out.” Xu Yiman said, “Put mine in the trunk. Bring the equipment, I’ll check to see if there are fingerprints in it, you can transport the body back.”

“Okay.” Elder Shao led the crowd out, and he said, “Jiang He, contact the corpse truck and ask them to take the body away. Take it to the funeral home for autopsy.”

“I’ll do it right away.” Jiang He nodded.

Shao Lao sat on the sofa in the hall, waiting for the police to transport the body away.

Several people were silent. Ge Dongyun’s bedroom was undoubtedly a secret room. After the murderer went in and killed someone, how did he get out of it? After the murderer can’t kill, he turned into an ant and crawled out through the crack of the door. This made Mr. Shao unable to figure out what kind of modus operandi the murderer used?

“Does this phone belong to Ge Dongyun?” Jiang He walked down from the second floor, holding a phone in his hand.

As Jiang He walked downstairs, he said, “Xu Yiman has already checked, and the fingerprints on the back of this phone case have also been collected. Guan Deng, please unlock the password.”

Mother Ge looked at Jiang He and replied: “That’s right, this is Dong Yun’s cell phone.”

Suddenly, Mother Ge said as if she had remembered something: “By the way, come with me.” As she

walked to the balcony on the second floor, Mother Ge said, “Look at it. When I got to my phone, I remembered something. On the way back from taking my child to kindergarten, I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I happened to hear someone chatting, saying that someone forgot to unplug the electric kettle, and it caught fire. ”

I washed my clothes last night, and then I suddenly forgot whether I had turned the dryer off or not. If I didn’t turn it off, it would be dangerous. I knew Dongyun didn’t like to listen to me, so I gave it to her.” I sent a text message – ‘Dongyun, auntie is shopping at the vegetable market. You can go back in a while. Please help aunty to see if the dryer on the balcony is turned off. If it is not turned off, turn it off for auntie.'”

This is a critical message.

“Did Ge Dongyun reply?” Shao Lao asked.

“I remember she replied with the word ‘um’.” Mother Ge said.

While speaking, everyone hurried to the second floor. Mother Ge took everyone to the depths of the corridor on the second floor. Ge Dongyun’s bedroom is in the middle of the corridor on the second floor, and the balcony needs to go to the end of the corridor. Mother Ge pushed open the balcony with two doors, and a wave of heat rushed towards her.

“It looks like it’s closed.” Shao Lao said, “It’s such a hot air.”

Mother Ge took a few steps and walked into the huge balcony. It’s a fully enclosed balcony, the windows are closed but not locked. Mother Ge took a few steps to the front of the dryer and turned it off. The whole room was extremely sultry, and standing in it, sweat flowed down from his forehead in a short while.

“She’s fine.” Jiang He said.

“But if Dongyun is not concerned, who would reply to me?” Mother Ge suddenly said in horror.

“She, or maybe the murderer.” Shao Lao said, “According to Ge Dongyun’s character, she is the kind of person who either doesn’t do it or promises to do it. Since she replied to you, It means that she is going to go to the balcony to have a look. In other words, she was killed before she even walked out of the bedroom.”

But after speaking, Shao Lao frowned again: “Is the murderer a professional killer? Ge Dongyun is already sober. It’s not an easy task to stab him in the heart under these circumstances. Or, Ge Dongyun was killed long ago, but the murderer did not leave. In order not to arouse your suspicion, the murderer sent a text message on behalf of Ge Dongyun.

” Both guesses are possible.” Shao Lao said: “Then everything has to wait for the specific autopsy results to come out.”

“When exactly did you send the text message.” Shao Lao looked at Ge’s mother.

Mother Ge shook her head and said as she took out her phone, “I forgot about this, I’ll just check the text messages on my phone.”

Saying that, Mother Ge took out her mobile phone and showed it to Mr. Shao. Mother Ge didn’t lie. She did send such a text message. Although there were some differences in individual words, they were generally consistent. Several people saw that the time to send the text message was at 8:21. And at 8:25, Ge Dongyun replied with the word “um”.

“Do you go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables?” Shao Lao asked.

Mother Ge nodded and said, “Yes, the vegetables I buy now are fresh, and I’m afraid that Dongyun will not be used to the stale food. It turns out that when Dongyun was in school, I always went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables at about six o’clock. Cooking, and then Dongyun doesn’t go to school, so I don’t have to make that extra trip, and it’s the same thing when I come back after I’ve delivered the children.”

“What about your son?” Shao Lao asked.

“My son is young, it’s not good to eat too much oil and salt, so he eats some bread and milk every day.” Mother Ge said, “Dongyun is an older child and is growing, so he has to cook more dishes. Anyway, I don’t have anything to do after the children are delivered, so I will go to the vegetable market by the way.”

“Is the vegetable market far from home?” Shao Lao asked.

“It’s not too far, let’s walk for ten minutes.” Mother Ge said: “But I usually like to stroll around in the vegetable market. You know, Dong Yun’s father is busy with work and has never had time to spend more time with me. I look at a pair of old people and a pair of young couples in the vegetable market, and sometimes I am envious, and seeing their sincere smiles makes me feel a lot happier.”

“It seems that you are in pain . Dongyun’s, but Dongyun still can’t accept you.” Shao Lao sighed.

Mother Ge also sighed: “What’s the use of talking about these now? Dong Yun is already dead, what’s the use of accepting it?”

Mother Ge murmured: “To be honest, I’m just as good as me. She is ten years older and she can’t accept it and I won’t allow her to call my mother, but after being married for so many years, I treat her like my own sister, and even take care of her better than my son , but…”

But after that, there was no sound for a long time, and everything became two lines of tears in the silence.
