Chapter 56 7. Puzzle solving

The murderer was very happy.The car was destroyed, and the last clue was broken. What can the police do to themselves? When he saw the group of people rushing to put out the fire, he was overjoyed. How could it possibly be extinguished? He poured several liters of gasoline in the car.It was a blessing not to ignite the two cars next to it! Of course, you can't pour too much, because he is also at the scene, and if there is a big explosion, you will even hurt yourself. However, this group of policemen came too fast. Fortunately, I was well-informed, and when I knew they were leaving, I quickly thought of countermeasures.That guy Zhang Zong is simply an idiot. The garage has never installed a surveillance system. He swaggered in, poured gasoline on the car, and blatantly lit it with a match. What can he do? This bumpkin can only buy things, not protect things.

However, why did the policeman surnamed Wang laugh? What the hell is he thinking?This person is not easy to deal with, it is best to find a way to get rid of him... Forget it, killing people will only expose themselves, and without clues, they will just run around like headless chickens, and they will give up after a while In this case, I will be safe when the time comes, so why bother to kill more people. Wang Dui came to Zhang Zong and asked him, "Do you want to know who burned your car?" Zhang Zong said angrily: "Naturally, I wish I could peel off his skin!" Dui Wang smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one, and touched himself, but he didn't bring a lighter.I was a little puzzled, I really didn't understand why he was smoking at this time.Is it to soothe a frustrated soul?Wang Dui said to the person closest to him, "Bring me a fire."

The man said: "Okay." Then he took out a box of matches and lit a cigarette for the Wang team. Wang Dui smiled and said: "Boss Zhang, do you know? In order to ignite the car, the murderer must pour a lot of gasoline on the car, so that the lighter cannot be ignited. The plastic lighter will go out after being thrown, and the metal lighter will go out." The lighter may remain in the fire and become evidence, so the best way is to use a match, ignite it and throw it out, puff, a beautiful flame will explode." He patted the cigarette that was lighting him man's shoulder, "Isn't it, lad?"

Zhang Zong stared at the man, who forced a smile and said, "Captain Wang is just joking, how could I be an arsonist?" This person is Zhang Zong's secretary. Dui Wang spread his hands: "It's because you didn't tell yourself. No one said you were an arsonist, but you happened to be holding a match. In fact, I don't think you are smart enough. You should know the whole box of matches. Throw it in the fire, it seems that you come from a poor family, so you are very frugal, don't you?" "Captain Wang, I'm not an arsonist... let alone a murderer. You don't have to doubt me." The secretary smiled, with neither humble nor overbearing expression on his face.

"Where were you on the night of June 17?" Team Wang asked suddenly. The secretary replied without hesitation: "I got off work very early that day. I went to the clothing store first, went to the bar to drink some wine, went home to watch a TV series, took a shower, and then went to bed. My wife can prove it for me. .” "June 17 has been more than a month now." Team Wang patted him on the shoulder and said regretfully, "Can you recall the content of that day so quickly?" "A secretary has a good memory." "So where were you on June 18?"

The secretary was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and replied, "Play cards with the boss. There are many people who can testify." Team Wang said: "June 18 is one day later than June 17. Why do you clearly remember the scene on the 17th, but when asked about your experience on the 18th, you still have to recall it?" The secretary smiled and said, "Is it wrong to recall it?" "When you answered your experience on the 17th, you reacted too quickly. People can only answer so quickly when they answer a prepared answer. If the content of the answer is your real experience, you usually have to recall it first."

"Then tell me about your experience before going to bed on the 17th in reverse order." The secretary's face was covered with sweat: "I took a shower before going to bed, and watched a TV series before I took a shower. Before watching the TV series, I...I..." Everyone was a little puzzled, why the answer was so fluent just now, but now it is stuck? Wang Dui pointed to his temple: "Human memory is a very interesting thing. You can make up certain things and treat them as things you have experienced. If you tell them in sequence, those fabricated things The experience can be spoken fluently, but if the order is disturbed, it will get stuck when retelling, after all, it is something made up. Your subconscious does not recognize it."

"Play puzzles with me, Captain Wang? Even if you say so much, it still can't prove that I'm a murderer, right?" the secretary asked back. "Indeed, you can't. You've burnt the car clean with a fire. If there's blood on the interior, it's been reduced to ashes with the fire." "Wang team, I haven't been proved that I'm a criminal yet, so don't spout blood." Wang Dui said with a smile: "It will be proven right away. Do you know that the car you burned was not the one Boss Wang prepared for his second brother, but the car of his third brother Zhang Hou. Boss Zhang took advantage of you When I was away, I secretly changed the license plate, the same car, the same model, even you can only be identified by the license plate.”

A look of astonishment appeared on the secretary's face. "That's right," Zhang Zong nodded, the slumped expression just now was gone, and now he has put on an old fox-like expression.He and Team Wang obviously had a good plan and sang a double reed. Wang Dui turned to the secretary: "Actually, we already guessed that it was you, the person who was able to bring the dead Lu Fei to Lu's house must have driven there, and according to eyewitnesses, he appeared at Lu Fei that night The only cars near my home are Santanas with film on the window panes. Only the Zhang family has a new Santana with film on the windows. That person is not Zhang Zong, who is already drunk. That person will not be Zhang Hou, Zhang Hou has an impulsive and irritable character, but he will never kill a woman he has secretly loved. If it is not the two of them, there is only one person left who can drive the three cars of the Zhang family, and that is Zhang Zong's personal secretary."

The secretary didn't speak, just sneered. Seeing that he hadn't surrendered yet, Team Wang nodded: "It seems that your psychological defense is very strong, and you won't just give in. Then let me tell you one more thing, the footprints left by the murderer at the crime scene, let's compare them with yours. However, they are very similar. If you don’t want to talk about it yet, I’ll present you another ‘killer feature’.” Wang Dui came to the remaining car, bent down, and moved some hands and feet under the car, revealing a small black lens under the car. "Have you seen it in a movie? This thing is a portable video recorder. When we put the disassembled car back together, we installed this device on the car. You left too early, so naturally you don't know. This trap It was set up for you long ago, Mr. Murderer."

This blow really broke the prisoner's psychological defense. He suddenly turned around and ran until he reached the garage door, when he was knocked to the ground by a fist flying towards him. Zhang Hou rubbed his fists, his face full of anger: "Just to prevent your kid from escaping, I have been waiting here for a long time." He swung his fist and wanted to hit him again, but the secretary wailed on the ground while spraying blood: "I said, I said everything, I did the case. Please don't hit me!" Wang Dui seemed to have had enough of showing off, announcing that the prisoner would be handcuffed and brought back to the police station for interrogation. The prisoner explained clearly the ins and outs of the incident. It turned out that he and Xu Jingjing were classmates when they were young, and Xu Jingjing once did something sorry for him, which left a shadow in his heart.Later, when he learned that Xu Jingjing had a good relationship with the Zhang family's second child, he managed to come to the Zhang family and became Zhang Zong's confidant secretary. Gave it to Lu Yang.He didn't allow Xu Jingjing to live a happy life, and that's why he wanted to kill the Lu family. Thanks to the cooperation of the Zhang family brothers in this case, especially Zhang Zong, his acting skills are definitely up to the level of an Oscar winner.Too bad the car burned down.However, Zhang Zong has already insured the car, so he should be able to get compensation. However, Boss Zhang said a word: "If the car can be compensated, can the human heart be able to?" As he said this, he shook his head. Wang Dui asked me later: "That day you and Xiao Hu ran to Zhang's house without authorization and asked him a few questions, right?" I was tongue-tied, wondering how Team Wang knew. Wang Dui snorted: "Is there such a thing?" I had no choice but to answer: "Yes..." "Don't be clever, do you think you can hide it from me? The Zhang family is not a vegetarian either. As soon as you left, they called and asked if they had sent two criminal police to his house. I guessed it was the two of you. Hurry up. Help you lie." I said anxiously: "Captain, you won't fire us..." The captain smiled sinisterly: "Seeing that you two have no malice and performed well in the process of handling the case, you will be exempted from punishment this time. Just make a note for now. If you commit another crime in the future, you will be punished for both crimes." "Great! The captain is such a good man!" "However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be forgiven. In the next two months, you two will be responsible for cleaning the dirty clothes of everyone in the team! By the way, I have been saving stinky socks for three weeks..." "Captain, why don't you fire us..." "Wow ha ha ha..." There was cheerful laughter in the police force. Many years later, on a Ching Ming Festival, I went to the cemetery to visit the graves of my family. I saw someone standing in front of Xu Jingjing's grave, silently laying out a bouquet of flowers. Looking at the back, it seemed to be Xiao Hu.
