Chapter 56 Two Doubts
So, the stool was placed several places in possible positions, Gao sat down separately, and then used a stick to hit the head of the bed with red pigment several times. The iron rod stained with red pigment followed the iron rod raised by Gao, sprinkling the adhered pigment on the curtain, forming blood marks.
Then, Situ Ce stood another package carried by a wooden stick on the ground, which means he judged the position of the deceased from the blood marks sprinkled on the wall, and asked the detective to squat on the ground, hold the wooden stick in his hand, and then let Gao stand opposite the wall and use an iron stick to hit the package stained with red pigment.
Because judging from the shape of the blood stains on the wall of the crime scene, the blood stains on the wall were sprinkled in a fan shape. It can be seen that the iron rod hit the head at that time, which was hit in the upper right direction of the right side.
After Situ Ce asked Gao's attack to hit from various standing angles, he left blood marks on the wall.
After the test was completed, Situ Ce asked everyone to exit the house and said that he wanted to use spells to check it out. So everyone retreated.
Situ Ce closed the door, took out the micro digital camera from the survey box, and brought out the pictures of the murder scene. Comparing the blood marks in the curtain and on the wall, he found that there was a big difference. The red pigment that Gao's hit was different from the blood marks on the scene!
In other words, based on Gao's height, whether it is sitting or standing, the blood marks that hit him are different from those on the scene. From this, it can be inferred that the deceased was not killed by Gao's!
Situ Ce called Helanbing in and told him the results found out by "doing magic".
Helanbing said: "Since it's not her, it must be Luo Ren. I had suspected that it was Luo Ren before, so I used him to test it, right?"
"No, the test can only confirm whether the person's words are in line with common sense and cannot be used as evidence. Therefore, if Luo Ren does not admit to murder, even if we ask him to conduct the test, the result is the same as the scene of the murder, and it still cannot prove that he is the murderer, because the person of similar size has similar traces, and the same determination cannot be made."
Helanbing said: "It's not difficult to get him to admit it."
"Oh, what are you going to do?"
"Just look at me!" He Lanbing smiled mysteriously, pushed the door out, and ordered Gao to be taken back to the prison and imprisoned Luo Ren.
Luo Ren was wearing a wooden shackle and sat on the stool, looking at them both in a daze.
He Lanbing handed him a few confessions: "Look, look, this is your sister Gao's confession! She has admitted that she killed her husband because she is completely desperate for her husband."
Luo Ren took the confession with trembling hands, and said, "I don't know the words..."
"Okay, I'll read it to you!" After that, Helanbing read Gao's confession and showed him the picture again.
Luo Ren's face turned pale, he thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and looked up and said, "Sister Gao is lying. It's not her who did this, but I killed it!"
"You?" He Lanbing pretended to be surprised, glanced at Situ Ce, and blinked quietly and proudly, "You killed the person?"
"yes!"
"Okay, tell me how to kill Mi Er."
"What I told the truth before was just lying. That night I sat on a chair and pretended to be asleep. After I found that Sister Gao was asleep, I quietly got up, gently opened the door, and then came to the house. Mi Er did not close the door. I pushed the door open and went in and found that Mi Er was already lying on the bed and fell asleep. I slammed his head with an iron rod. He got up and wanted to run away. I hit a few more iron rods. He fell down. That's it."
Situ Ce, who was standing beside him, asked, "Where did the iron stick come from?"
"Iron stick? Well..., there is it in the room. I saw it and I took it with it."
"Since you are going to kill him, why don't you prepare a weapon in advance? You have to look for it in the house temporarily? How do you know there is an iron stick in the house? What if there isn't? How do you plan to kill him?"
Facing Situ Ce's series of questions, Luo Ren was obviously caught off guard. He thought for a while and said, "I was not going to kill him at first. I just wanted to go in and talk to him openly and honestly, so that he would be kind to Sister Gao in the future. It is rare for Sister Gao to be, and he should cherish it. When I went there, I found that he was asleep. Seeing that there was another iron stick in the corner of the house, I just wanted to be with someone like him, but I was afraid that I would not be able to explain it clearly. So I might as well kill him directly, so I took action."
"Where is the handkerchief covered on the face of the deceased? Who covered it?"
"It's me. I looked at his face with blood, so I took a handkerchief and covered it with him."
"Where did the handkerchief come from?"
"Uh--, mine."
"Your? How long have you used it?"
“It’s been a long time.”
He Lanbing frowned from the side. After Situ Ce finished asking, he ordered Luo Ren to be taken back to prison first. He said to Situ Ce: "He has admitted to killing people, that's all. There is no need to ask so much."
Situ Ce has now begun to know that in ancient times, confessions were called the "king of evidence". As long as there was a confession, no other evidence could be decided. This made ancient criminal investigators develop a habit that as long as the criminal confessed, the case would be settled. Therefore, when he heard Luo Ren confession that he was the one who killed him, He Lanbing breathed a sigh of relief, because Luo Ren's height matched the supposed murderer, and he would not touch the curtain because he was too tall like Gao. In other words, his confession could match the scene of the crime. As for the source of the iron rod just now, Luo Ren's explanation made sense.
Situ Ce shook his head and said, "This Luo Ren seems to be making up a lie!"
"Ly? Why?"
Situ Ce sighed and said, "I'm afraid this case is not that simple. Alas! I'm afraid that it was neither Gao's killing nor Luo Ren's killing!"
He Lanbing was stunned: "It's not them? Then what did they admit to killing people?"
"What I am worried about is that Gao mistakenly thinks that people were killed by Luo Ren, and is willing to take the blame for him because of emotional reasons. At the same time, Luo Ren also suspected that it was Gao's killing. For the same reason, he also hopes to take the blame for Gao. In this way, both of them were wronged."
"Is it wrong?" Helan Bing said suspiciously, "If it were Gao's murder, it might be wrong, but if it was Luo Ren who killed someone, I don't think it was wrong. His confession is reasonable and there is no big flaw!"
Situ Ce smiled and said, "There are two doubts in this case that have not been found out!"
"Two doubts?"
"Well, the first one is the blue handkerchief covered on the deceased's face, and the fingerprints extracted from it are not Gao's or Luo Ren's. Whose is it?"
"Uh--, could someone else leave it on the handkerchief first and be used by both of them to cover the dead face?"
"No, Luo Ren said that the handkerchief belongs to him and has been using it for a long time. If this is true, I will definitely be able to extract his fingerprints with spells on the handkerchief, but there is no! There is not even a fingerprint! This proves that the handkerchief is not his at all! It is not Gao's, or Gao's, has never touched the handkerchief, because there is no fingerprint of Gao's handkerchief on the handkerchief! I have checked all these with spells. It means that the handkerchief is not the two, and the two have never touched the handkerchief!"
Helanbing frowned slightly and nodded slowly: "If the handkerchief covering the deceased's face was not theirs, then who would it be? How did it fall on the deceased's face?"
