Mystery Hunter

Chapter 154: Solve a case in one day

"What's wrong?" Xu Yiman and Yuan Jun both saw that Shao Lao's face was wrong and hurriedly asked.

Shao Lao said to the mobile phone: "Actually, it doesn't take that long, just one day is enough."

With that said, Shao Lao put the phone into his pocket.

He looked at a few people, and then said: "The director of the provincial department called me just now, a reporter learned about Deng Xiangyu's death, and, as I said yesterday, a reporter got the threatening note. Therefore, those reporters could easily associate Deng Xiangyu's death with the threatening note."

"It's under pressure now, but the reporters don't care about it. In a few hours, they will link the two cases and report it. Soon, the headlines will show this news - four There is a new trend in the middle school bullying case, one of the participants was murdered, and the murderer left a threatening note to continue killing."

"The reporter obviously only knows about the threatening notes, so how could they know that Deng Xiangyu is dead? Didn't the parents and students keep it a secret?" Xu Yiman said.

Shao Lao rubbed his temples, and then said: "First of all, it won't be said by the school. School bullying and dead students are two completely different concepts. Only one person is the most suspicious, no, I'm sure it's him."

"Who?" Xu Yiman asked.

Shao Lao replied: "That's Wang Liguo's gambler's father. The case was so noisy that almost everyone was paying attention. When he got such exciting news, he naturally thought of selling it to reporters to make money. The murderer who originally left the murder note didn't know that Deng Xiangyu was dead, but now, in the dark, he may have learned the news."

"This is very passive for us. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It is really difficult to deal with."

Shao Lao sighed.

"What are we going to do in a day?" Xu Yiman heard Mr. Shao mention this time just now.

"Find the murderer." Shao Lao said: "The director wants us to find the murderer of Deng Xiangyu in three days. I told him that it doesn't take such a long time, only one day is enough."

Xu Yiman looked at Shao Lao in surprise, and asked with some doubts, "Is it really possible?"

Jiang He said at this time, "Yes, because I have 80% confidence that this case is a suicide case."

Shao Lao looked at Jiang He, patted Jiang He on the shoulder, and sighed, "Actually, what I'm most afraid of is what you said, now that we have found the first scene, we will soon know who the person who dumped the corpse was. Who, following this clue to investigate, we will be able to identify the murderer in less than half a day."

Jiang He didn't understand what Lao Shao meant, he said, "Is this different? We also found the truth."

"It's different." Shao Lao looked at Jiang He, his tone was a little low, he said helplessly: "You always think my set is very mysterious, but it's not at all mysterious, this method is actually a lot of fact analysis. The probability of the future. There are no two identical people in the world, but everyone’s human nature is similar.”

After speaking, Shao Lao asked: "Then tell me, how did you determine that Deng Xiangyu committed suicide."

Jiang He shook his head and said, "It's not a certainty, it's an 80% possibility. If I get to the water tower, I'll give you a definite answer, whether it's suicide or not."

"Water tower?" Shao Lao asked.

Jiang He nodded, looked at Yuan Jun beside him, and said, "Can you help me?"

Saying that, Jiang He came to the bottom of the broken straight ladder.

Yuan Jun looked at the ladder, took a stance, and said to Jiang He, "Step on my big leg first, then on my shoulder, this will be enough for you to climb this straight ladder."

"This ladder is broken and rusted, so it won't break." Xu Yiman was a little worried.

But Jiang He didn't care about this at this time, he had already stepped on Yuan Jun's body. Jiang He was not polite either. He took Yuan Jun as a ladder and stepped on it. Then, he put his hands on the straight ladder. Jiang He tugged hard, but it still looked solid.

At this moment, Yuan Jun exerted his strength. With a soft shout, he stood up and sent Jiang He up.

Jiang He stepped on the ladder without saying a word and rushed up. The height of more than ten meters was not particularly high. Jiang He was thin, and he was as agile as a monkey when he climbed the ladder. After a while, Jiang He had reached the platform of the water tower. When Jiang He could see what was on the platform, he understood that his guess was good.

On the platform, a backpack appeared in Jiang He's field of vision.

Jiang He did not walk over directly, but slowly observed the platform. This water tower has been abandoned for a long time, and a lot of dust has fallen on it. Jiang He didn't even have to bend down~ If he looked carefully, he could see that there were quite a few footprints on the layers of dust.

From the analysis of the pattern of the footprints, it is from the same pair of shoes, which shows that someone has come to this platform, and only one person has come.

Jiang He took out his phone and took a photo carefully before walking towards his backpack.

The backpack is not far from the edge, only about ten centimeters. If a strong wind blows, it may blow the backpack down. Jiang He noticed that next to the backpack, on the edge of the platform, there were a pair of clear footprints, indicating that this person had been standing here for a long time.

Jiang He also stood in this position. He put on his gloves and reached down, just in time to grab onto the backpack lying on the side.

Jiang He went to see that the backpack contained four or five folded clothes and several high school textbooks, which was why in the video, the backpack looked bulging.

What's more, beside the bag, there is a brown bottle.

The brown bottle had been giving off a stench, and Jiang He had noticed it long ago.

He bent down again and finally picked up the bottle.

There was no bottle cap on the bottle, and Jiang He looked left and right, but couldn't see where the bottle cap was. This relatively light thing might have fallen from the water tower long ago.

Jiang He carefully observed the bottle. Most of the label paper with the name on the bottle was gone. Jiang He could only see a faint word "withered". It seemed that this was the paraquat used by Deng Xiangyu to commit suicide.

There was still a little paraquat liquid in the bottle, Jiang He carefully put the bottle aside, and leaned down to look down.

Jiang He was so concentrated at the moment, but he really startled the people below.

At this moment, Jiang He was standing on the edge of the platform, which was already very dangerous. At this time, he squatted down and leaned down again. It was easy to fall from the edge with a lean forward, and fell from a height of more than ten meters. Playing, especially, Jiang He still has the problem that he may have a headache at any time.

"Yuan Jun, go up and protect him." Shao Lao said.

Yuan Jun nodded, jumped on the spot, grabbed the broken ladder with both hands, and then did a pull-up, and the whole person climbed up the ladder.

Jiang He kept leaning forward. He seemed to focus all his attention on the slash under the platform.

A lot of iron sheets were turned up on the slash. Jiang He carefully observed it, but he couldn't see what was on the thin iron sheet hanging on the slash in the air at a distance of four or five meters. Rao was Jiang He's. The eyes are good, but the iron sheet is far and thin, and it looks like a thin line from a distance.

But Jiang He insisted on seeing something from this thin line, Jiang He leaned forward again, and finally, he could see clearly. On the iron sheet, which had become reddish-brown, there was a red that was different from the color of rust, it was a blood red.

"That's it!" Jiang He couldn't help shouting out.

At this moment, a gust of wind surged up and blew from the sky.

This time, Jiang He's body's center of gravity also changed completely. He leaned down, and he had no chance to adjust his center of gravity at all.

While speaking, Jiang He had already fallen. Jiang He was too focused on observing what was in front of him, but he didn't think about his own safety at all.

Seeing that Jiang He was about to hit the slash nearby, at this moment, one person grabbed Jiang He's feet.

Jiang He slid down another half a meter and finally hung in the air.

"Don't move, I'll pull you up!"

Yuan Jun appeared behind Jiang He, and it was he who held Jiang He's feet.

"Slow!" Jiang He stopped Yuan Jun.

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Jun lay down on the platform with both hands firmly grasping Jiang He's feet: "I can't last long."

Jiang He took out the cell phone in his pocket, stretched out his arm and took a few pictures, and then said, "It's alright."

Yuan Jun let out a loud roar, exhausting his strength to suckle, and then slowly pulled Jiang He up.

"You're going to die?" Yuan Jun lay on the platform, gasping for breath, and said to Jiang He.

Jiang He stood up, then zipped up his backpack and carried it on his body. After that, he carefully picked up the bottle and climbed down the straight ladder.

At this time, Yuan Jun was covered in sweat, his face was pale, and he was terrified. But Yuan Jun looked at Jiang He, but his face didn't change at all, as if he didn't take life and death into his eyes at all.

"Go!" Jiang He had already climbed to the middle of the straight ladder, and he shouted, "It's certain, Deng Xiangyu committed suicide."

"What a lunatic!" Yuan Jun slapped himself on the forehead.

When Yuan Jun stood up, he found that his legs were all soft, and he kept shaking. It was an extremely dangerous situation just now. Under the action of gravity, Jiang He would probably pull him down too. But at the last minute, Yuan Jun couldn't think so much. Fortunately, Jiang He was thin and didn't have much meat...

Yuan Jun climbed down the straight ladder.

"Be careful." Jiang He handed the bottle down and said, "There is paraquat in it, don't get it on yourself."

Elder Shao took the bottle and Jiang He jumped down.

Xu Yiman was very angry: "Tell us to be careful, what are you doing! You know what, I almost killed two people just now!"

"I had calculated the center of gravity." Jiang He said.

"You rely on calculations for everything." Xu Yiman scolded: "But do you know that your calculations are just a probability, and anything with a small probability may happen."

"As long as I'm 60% sure, I'll do it." Jiang He retorted.

Xu Yiman was furious and shouted: "Sixty percent? When will you let us take such a risk? How can a person who doesn't cherish his own life attach importance to the lives of others! If one day, I am in danger, if you want to save me, there is only a 40% chance of surviving, will you do it?"

Jiang He was silent.
