Liang Xi said: "Let's ask another question, why did the murderer stab him in the back? Although the steak knife is sharper, stabbing the heart from the back requires more force than stabbing it from the front. We also need to consider that Wade struggled and screamed after being stabbed in the back. There is no such information in the hostage transcripts."

Liang Xidao: "The theory that is more consistent with the scene is that Wade bent down and the murderer stabbed him in the back from top to bottom. This stab requires less force and is easier to control Wade. According to this speculation, another question can be asked, why did Wade bend over?"

Liang Xidao: "Based on my imagination, Wade's bending down may be to help people. After the fire, there was chaos, someone fell in front of him, and he bent down to help him. Other than that, I can't think of Wade. Bending down in case of sudden fire. The person Wade would help must be a woman, the elderly or a child. Among the hostages, he was the oldest, fifty-two years old. There were no children among the hostages. It was her he helped."

Baker interjected: "None of the ten female hostages know Wade's situation."

Liang Xi said: "The first possibility is that the woman fell down and was picked up by Wade and fled the small area without noticing that it was Wade who helped her up. The second possibility is that the woman provided opportunities for the murderer. It is very likely that she was a woman Use candles to light other people's clothes. The first thing we have to do is to re-record the ten female hostages."

Baker said: "It has been so long, can they still remember?"

Liang Xidao: "The interesting thing is here. The good people have no impression, and the bad people will definitely remember it, but she doesn't know whether they should remember it. At the same time, the bad people don't know if Wade was seen when he helped him. So it's not clear whether to admit it or not. I was helped by Wade."

Baker asked: "Why did the case become so simple as soon as you touched it?" I felt very sad.

Liang Xi replied: "My opinions and suggestions are based on speculation. It cannot be ruled out that Wade walked away before the fire, or happened to bend down to pick up something, or was pushed from behind. Judging from the known information, There is a high probability of proving my inference. Make a bold assumption, and then verify it carefully. By taking notes on ten female hostages, I have a chance to prove whether my assumption is right or wrong. If I am proven wrong, it will also help me. The high probability situation has been ruled out. In addition, if we record them again about Wade, we may be able to find new clues."

…

The nine women were interviewed by the police detectives in their respective localities the next morning, and a transcript was made at the police station or at the place where they worked and lived. The entire transcript was videotaped, even if they were not at the police station. Three cameras are used for filming. In addition to asking the ten questions given by Baker, the detectives can also ask their own questions.

How did 10 people become 9? Isn’t Shirley dead? For example, if two of the five gangsters died and two were injured, that’s because there is one who is neither dead nor injured. Roar!

Damn Baker raised a question: "What if it happened to be Shirley who fell? What if Wade intentionally or unintentionally put the flash memory into Shirley's bag when he helped Shirley?"

Detectives hate this kind of people the most. They will not give priority to low-probability situations. Liang Xi is good at expanding various possibilities from basic facts, and then verifying each possibility. Naturally, he investigates according to the probability from high to low. After getting to know Modo, Liang Xi learned to ask questions. Many questions cannot be answered yet, but the more questions he asks, the better he can judge which situation has a higher probability. If used well, it can also open a window to light in a desperate situation. .

A man was killed by blue ice thrown by an airplane while swimming in a river. The autopsy showed that he was not drowned. In this case, the detective had no choice but to approach science.

…

The weather had not warmed up for a few days, but it suddenly cooled down again. As soon as the temperature dropped, Liang Xi especially liked the detective agency. The case seminar was also held at the detective agency. In addition to Baker, the participants in the seminar were North District Police Detective Romeo, who came to join in the fun.

Yes, he likes to discuss cases with others.

Romeo first explained his views on the case: "It is not easy to kill someone with a knife from the back. Technically speaking, drawing the knife from the back has great advantages. First, the back muscles have strong contraction force and are not easy to splatter blood. Second, it is a sneak attack.

Sex. Therefore, the murderer is a professional, a professional murderer. Even the best SWAT and anti-terrorist SWAT team members would have difficulty in performing this knife. There are usually two types of hidden assassination by special forces. One is to hug the target from behind and cover the mouth with one hand.

, a sharp weapon is stabbed into the heart from front to back, and the opponent dies after wrestling for a few seconds. One is to cut the throat directly, and the person whose throat is cut cannot make a cry for help. It is not ruled out that backstabbing has occurred on the battlefield, but backstabbing is not a training method for the special forces system.

"

Liang looked at Baker, who translated: "Professional killer."

Romeo said: "I checked the identities of the nine male guests, and they are all distinguished people. There are lawyers, doctors, businessmen, politicians, screenwriters, etc. I didn't find any of them who have the ability to kill with a knife. I

I think your idea is wrong, I tend to doubt the work of the three Blade Commandos."

Romeo said: "When the commando team invaded and shot the gangster, they shouted: Everyone squat down with their heads in their hands. At this time, the murderer's assassination of Wade will make him stand out. The commando team's assassination is different. A team member picked up the table

Steak knife, check the hostage situation, or the life and death of the gangster, and stab Wade in the back."

Liang Xi agreed: "The commando team is my second suspect."

Baker said: "Let's watch the transcript and video first." Isn't it comfortable watching TV around the stove?

…

The nine women were compiled into 9 numbers. After browsing, the royal sisters were excluded first, leaving seven female hostages. Baker took a tablet and read out the identities of the seven female hostages. Basically, they were all people with ID cards. Company gold collar, rich family

Female, director of a certain company, etc. Among them, only a 21-year-old waitress named Love is considered the lowest status person. Love is a waitress in an Italian restaurant. This is her third day at work. She is also the only one among the hostages who has no chance to escape.

staff of.

Love avoided the camera and did not dare to look directly at the camera, but she was not like a liar who looked to one side. Most of the time, her eyes were looking at the detective's legs or even the ground. She was a little hesitant in answering the questions. Judging from her expression, she was either thinking something in her mind.

She was reminiscing, or thinking about something. But Love was just hesitant, not nervous.

"I didn't see anyone fall."

"Didn't notice the guy named Wade."

"I have no idea."

So Baker took Romeo to find Love, but at the same time, Liang Xi didn't have an easy time. An hour later, Liang Xi received a call from Baker, saying that Love was dead.

Love lived in the home of her boyfriend Skov, a 29-year-old dock crane worker. According to Skov's testimony, after the police detectives left, Skov clearly noticed that there was something unusual about Love and asked him about it.

After a few words, the two broke up. Not wanting to quarrel with Love, Skoff went out to walk to the river to fish. When Baker and the others arrived, he was still by the river. According to Baker's understanding, Skoff was at the time when the Italian hostage case occurred.

Husband works at the dock.

Gu Qing

Liang Xi arrived at the scene, and the forensic doctor was putting Aifu's body into the car. Liang Xi chatted with the forensic doctor for a while before arriving at the scene to understand the situation.

Love was stabbed in the heart with a kitchen boning knife from the front in the kitchen, killing her with one knife. The murderer entered the bathroom, washed his hands and left through the back door. Their house was on the outskirts of the city, and the surrounding area lacked surveillance equipment and was sparsely populated. The police are currently looking for possible witnesses.

, and at the same time investigate the vehicle the murderer drove or was riding in.

Afterwards, Liang Xi spent an hour mobilizing troops and asking multiple police officers to cooperate with him in understanding the information. After getting the information he needed, Liang Xi returned to the living room near the crime scene. Skoff was accepting further questions from Baker and Romeo.

Ask. For example, does Love have any enemies?

When Baker saw Liang Xi, he stepped forward to explain the updated information: "Ai Fu is a country girl. After graduating from high school at the age of 18, she worked in a small town restaurant for two years. She met Skov by chance. Skov helped her in London.

She found a housekeeping job. Skoff said that housekeeping work was relatively intensive. Love left her job a week before the hostage incident and applied for a job as a waitress in an Italian restaurant."

After Baker explained the basic information, Liang Xi looked at Skov who was sitting in the living room and asked: "Did Love use some unconventional means to enter the Italian restaurant?"

Skov asked rhetorically: "What are unconventional means?"

Liang Xi replied: "For example, forging resumes, lying, etc."

Skov understood what Liang Xi meant. The Italian restaurant had a relatively high standard, and Aifu was not qualified to work in the restaurant. Skov explained: "No, Aifu has two years of restaurant work experience. She is very enthusiastic and good at talking.

.She fought for the job at the Italian restaurant.”

Liang Xi said: "Skov, I think you are the one who killed Aifu."

Skov replied seriously: "Are you kidding? I'm fishing, OK? I also saw an acquaintance passing by the bridge dozens of meters away. You can ask this person to see if what I said is correct?"

Liang Xi said: "Mrs. Olly? The police not only asked Mrs. Olly, but also asked other people. Others told me that Mrs. Olly would leave home at around three o'clock every afternoon and walk to her daughter's home 300 meters away.

Prepare for afternoon tea. Around 3 o'clock, you will pass the bridge within 5 minutes."

Liang Xi said: "You only said you saw Mrs. Olly, but you didn't explain that Mrs. Ollie passes that bridge every day. If the detectives only asked Mrs. Olly, it would be equivalent to proving that you have alibi. I don't believe you.

, so I asked the police detective to ask a few more questions, and sure enough, Mrs. Olly would pass the stone bridge on time every day."

Skoff explained anxiously: "I didn't know she would pass by every day."

Liang Xi said: "The second reason why I doubt you is that you lack anger. My inquiry insulted Aifu's academic qualifications and identity to a certain extent, and your response was a serious explanation. It can be seen from your answer that you are not angry.

You are too concerned about who killed Love, and you are more concerned about whether you can escape suspicion."

Seeing that Skov was about to speak, Liang Xi spoke first: "Of course, you are a good person. Officer Baker learned that an accident occurred at the pier last year, and two of your colleagues were penetrated by steel pipes through the thighs and abdomen. When everyone was stunned

, you bravely stepped forward and gave them first aid."

Skov spread his hands: "I only did what I should do."

Liang Xidao: "And you found the police after you came home from fishing, rushed to the kitchen and knelt down crying. This is what made me suspicious of you. I asked the police detective, and there was only one patrol car that had just arrived at that time. There were two people at the scene.

There are two police officers and two detectives. One police detective is checking the door lock, and one police detective is contacting outside support. One police officer is blocking the line at the door, and one police officer is reporting a homicide to his superiors."

Skoff doesn't quite understand.

Liang Xi explained: "The entrance leads to the living room. Why did you run towards the kitchen after pushing the police officer away? Why not the bathroom? Why not the guest room? Why not the second floor? Why not the backyard? What is even stranger is that you knelt down when you saw Love's body.

Sad, you didn’t even come forward to check. Did the police officer tell you that Love was dead? Maybe Love called the police and she was stabbed and injured, lying on the ground waiting for an ambulance? Or maybe she was sick and fainted? You can block the intestines of your coworkers with your hands.

, why don’t you dare to approach your girlfriend’s scene?”

Usually the police will conduct an investigation after the forensic and other technical reports are released. Liang Xi believed that there was something wrong with Skov, so he conducted an investigation around everything Skov said. In one sentence: Although I have no evidence, but

I think you are the murderer. Now is the time to prove that you are the murderer.

Liang Xidao: "Aif is very happy working in the housekeeping company. Neither her colleagues nor the boss know why she suddenly left her job. What's even more interesting is the Italian restaurant. Aifu got the job only after pleading. It's very interesting. There are people in the housekeeping company.

Dignity has friends and a good income. Why do you have to give up your dignity and get a job? Love even told the restaurant supervisor that she could get no salary during the two-week probationary period."

Skoff suddenly grabbed the stool next to him, and Baker threw him down. At this time, Romeo was thinking about what Liang Xi said, and Liang Xi was organizing his words. Unexpectedly, Skoff immediately started to resist, but Sikov

Koff also didn't expect that Baker was not a traditional police detective, but a thug detective. The two of them started to struggle.

Liang Xi looked at it for a while and became ashamed. He and Bobby were also struggling, but the level seemed to be a bit different. For example, this move was to grab the head and smash it to the ground. I had seen it in the movie, and Liang Xi had tried it, but he couldn't hold it down.

The neck itself has a lot of resistance. There is also this move, where you hit the opponent's forehead with your forehead, and you are fine, but the opponent is stunned. When Liang Xi used it, he felt that he was as stunned as the opponent. It should be in different parts, but he didn't see clearly.

In addition, it’s a matter of mentality. If the glass kettle is smashed on the ground, Liang Xi and Bobby will definitely run away. Instead of running away, they grab the glass with one hand and stab each other, not caring about the cuts on their fingers and palms.

Drenched with blood.

The two of them hugged each other. Logically speaking, they should have fallen to the ground. Why did they hug each other and rush towards the TV? Wouldn't you be hurt if he was injured?

Romeo was the first to react and immediately stepped forward to help. He did not carry any police equipment, so he shouted a few times. Two uniformed police officers heard the noise and came in from outside. After Skov held Baker and smashed the TV together, they crashed into a car together.

A police officer. In an instant, three people fell to the ground.

Policeman B bent over and knelt down to arrest him. The thin glass that Skov grabbed with one hand stabbed Policeman B's neck. Fortunately, Baker pulled him to the side, causing Skoff's blow to miss. Baker took the opportunity to pull out his right hand and punched Scott.

On the husband's head. Skov was stunned for a moment and lost the power to resist. Policeman A took out handcuffs and put them on him.

The four of them separated, and everyone was more or less stained with blood. Baker leaned to the side and gasped: "He weighs more than me." That's right, it was Baker who was kowtowed and hit on the head earlier. Baker is ten kilograms lighter.

They were quite weak in terms of strength, and the scene was ugly. After the fight, Baker explained to Liang Xi and the others that after all, he was once a general of the anti-powder team, how could he not be able to deal with an ordinary civilian.

"He is not an ordinary person." Liang Xi did not believe that an ordinary person could grab a piece of glass and attack the police without hesitation. Liang Xi took out his mobile phone and asked a police officer to help turn Skoff's head around and take a picture, which he sent to House and

Lena: "If you know me, please reply quickly, I will kill you soon."

The phone rang in less than 10 seconds, and Liang Xi answered the call: "Hello."
