Chapter 38. The Fatal Thirty Centimeters
After a while, Lin Hai brought all the enlarged photos of the villa that Musen wanted.
Everyone came to Musen and looked at the huge photos of the prize of about half a meter in his hand. They didn't understand what clues Musen wanted to find from these photos.
It has to be said that the comparison of photos before and after the decoration is indeed very obvious, and it can be said that the whole house has undergone earth-shaking changes. Including the main color, layout and other aspects, there have been great changes. If Lin Hai had not pointed out the changes and characteristics of somewhere, it would probably be difficult for ordinary people to imagine that the two sets of photos showed the same house.
Mu Sen looked carefully for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I still don't see clearly enough like this..."
As he said that, Mu Sen looked at Captain Wu, and then asked symbolically: "Captain Wu, can you please help me? You and Lin Hai each held a picture, stood farther, and held it in a horizontal position. I want to take a good look." After saying that, he handed the photo to Captain Wu without saying a word.
Captain Wu took the photo angrily and asked in confusion: "What a detachment, are you trying to change your career to make decoration and building materials? You said you are fine and you are competing with this house? If you have this time, wouldn't we hurry up and investigate the murderer?"
Musen didn't say anything, while Mo Ziqian explained on behalf of Musen with a faint smile: "Captain Wu, since Musen asked to see these two photos, it proves that the house must have something to do with the murderer. The decoration staff that Lawyer Lin found was unusual, and it is very likely that it was the operator of all this. It was because Lawyer Lin did not mention what happened after the house was renovated at the beginning, so we got the wrong direction at the beginning. If he had said that the decoration company disappeared as soon as the house was renovated, then we must have started with the house from the beginning."
Lin Hai was a little embarrassed when he listened. He really didn't expect that some young designers and contractors could do something big? Maybe he had been standing at the top of society for a long time and looked down on people. So Lin Hai never took the matter of this decoration company to heart since the beginning.
I remember when Lin Hai’s wife questioned this, Lin Hai said disdainfully that this small and broken company took on his job, which was enough for them to work for several years. These small companies now exist today, and may be excluded from bankruptcy tomorrow. It is normal for the current society to be so fierce in such a fierce competition. How could he, a lawyer, take these seriously?
No one wants to listen to Lin Hai's explanation and confession. Anyway, his vain and arrogant are now "scared" by this mansion.
Now everyone is waiting for Musen to see something crucial from these two large photos with his magical reasoning.
Mu Sen asked Captain Wu and Lin Hai to stand five meters away with a large photo. He pulled Mo Ziqian and stood far away, carefully comparing every detail of the two large photos.
Captain Wu shouted not far away without understanding: "I can't see clearly when I get close. What else can you see when you are so far away?"
Musen replied in a hurry: "The closer many things in this world are, the more they will be, the more they will be unable to see clearly. Some people or things may be seen from a distance, so it may be easier to see the truth and essence."
Captain Wu was speechless when he said Musen. Anyway, he was used to Musen's unusual way of thinking and routine of solving cases.
"Zi Qiong, what do you think is the difference between the houses in these two photos?" Musen looked at every detail in the photo with all his attention.
Mo Ziqian replied without thinking: "There is different everywhere. I don't know if this is Lin Hai's original intention. In short, the changes in the entire house are absolutely thorough, and it is easy to recognize his own house."
Musen looked at the photo for a while, muttering to himself and repeating Mo Ziqian's words just now: "There is different everywhere... I can't even recognize my own house... There is definitely a complete change..."
Suddenly, Musen stared at the floor and stairs on the photo, and his eyes emitted a strange light! He quickly walked to Lin Hai and asked, "Have you said your house has become smaller?"
Lin Hai was a little surprised by Musen's sudden change, and he quickly stammered: "Yes, right... Because the roof has been re-hanged, the style of the stairs has also changed a lot. The original style has become outdated and no longer popular, so I asked them to design the latest layout. So the overall space looks a little smaller. But it doesn't matter. There are several floors of villas, and even if the height is now, it looks very comfortable and gorgeous..."
Captain Wu couldn't listen any longer. He frowned and interrupted Lin Hai impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, who cares about your comfort or not! No matter how big your house is, you will not bring it with you if you die. And now you can't even live in it. What's the beauty you are here? You'd better listen to Musen finish your words first."
Lin Hai closed his mouth awkwardly and did not refute Captain Wu's words.
But Mu Sen didn't say anything else, but turned around and ran towards the villa. While he put on a mask to cover his mouth and nose, he was excited in his heart: If that person is still there, he can catch him today!
Many people chased Mu Sen and ran into the huge living room of the villa for unknown reasons. Looking at Mu Sen grabbing the photos in Lin Hai's hand, they said confidently: "Lawyer Lin, all these strange and bizarre phenomena are just because your house is too big."
"Ah?" Lin Hai looked at Mu Sen in confusion, unable to understand what Mu Sen meant by completely illogical words.
Mu Sen chuckled and said to Lin Hai: "Now, I'm afraid you have to find another decoration team to demolish all the newly renovated places."
"This..." Lin Hai was even more confused after hearing this. He looked at Captain Wu with a look of help, hoping that Captain Wu could give him an explanation. But obviously, Captain Wu didn't understand what Mu Sen meant.
Just when everyone was confused by Musen's words and behavior, Musen walked up the stairs step by step, and slowly said, "Lawyer Lin, I counted carefully just now. In the photo, your living room stairs were eighteen floors with a right angle turn, but now it is sixteen floors with a circular rotation. It turned out that the entrance of the second floor of your house was where I am now standing, but now it is slightly upside down. It turned out that your living room has no steps to connect with the tiled floor at the entrance, but now there is a small decorative step of nearly ten centimeters."
As he said that, Musen was already standing at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. He looked down at the people downstairs and spoke loudly again: "The visual gap between the three steps and the second floor is connected to the visual gap. The combined distance has exceeded 30 cm. This means... your house is raised upwards thirty cm from the previous one."
After Musen finished speaking, everyone present was in an uproar. No one expected that Musen would come to such an amazing conclusion through two photos.
Captain Wu looked at Mu Sen on the second floor in surprise, then turned to look at Mo Ziqian standing behind him. He saw that Mo Ziqian kept his faint smile and looked up slightly at the calm and confident Mu Sen upstairs.
Captain Wu couldn't help it anymore. He asked Mu Sen loudly before Lin Hai: "Detective, your reasoning result is too amazing! What do you mean is that Lin Hai's entire home was deliberately raised by thirty centimeters during the previous renovation? But he himself couldn't feel it?"
Musen said affirmatively as he went downstairs: "Yes, he really can't feel it. Because his house is too big and too high. For ordinary houses and ordinary buildings, if the house is more than 30 cm shorter than 30 cm, it will definitely not be able to live in. But for his house, almost no one can see the thirty cm. This is why I say that the reason why all this happens is because his mansion is too big."
Captain Wu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He looked at Lin Hai hesitantly and asked in surprise: "Lao Lin, is this really the case...?"
Lin Hai's expression was also shocked, and he could not answer Captain Wu's question. Because Musen was not wrong at all, thirty centimeters were really nothing for this house and the hall.
Mo Ziqian walked over to Mu Sen and said as he walked: "Every house will have some space-taking layout when decorating, especially Lin Hai's previous decoration method. It uses ten centimeters from the previous layout, and the distance between the two stairs between the hall and the second floor, which adds up to thirty centimeters. This little space is enough for a person to wander around the villa like a ghost."
Lin Hai couldn't help but feel cold after hearing what Mo Ziqian said! He suddenly remembered what Mu Sen had said before: Unless the criminal has been in this villa all the time.
Musen continued to point to the smooth ground, "The current villa looks two floors on the surface, but in fact there is a third floor in the two floors of space. So the tiles can be made into flip boards, and these small mechanisms can lead to any bedroom in the house. Of course, you can also use your hair and blood to do something that is so damn good. That's why, he can do these things under our noses, but we will never find it even to him."
Lin Hai's eyes were red with shock at this moment. He murmured in disbelief: "I didn't expect that once the house was renovated, it caused such a huge disaster. The 30-centimeter gap almost killed my whole family..."
