Chapter 7 Chapter Seven The Third Person

Now, all the paper cigarette tails left in the room, including the capstan brand and the small three guns, have all been stored in his pockets. Then, he took the opportunity to smoke a Turkish cigarette, and threw the butt of his cigarette into the ashtray on the table. He was very childish, smiling, and thinking amusedly, if tomorrow Holmes came out from the basement of Westminster Abbey and walked into this mortuary to investigate this matter, he would have a headache to some extent. I have already acted as a detective, so I might as well be a voluntary coroner again. According to detective novels, a dead body is a kind of lazy thing that is not likely to escape, so the inspection procedure might as well be left to the last step.He exhaled thick smoke, walked away from the opponent, and stood on the left side of the corpse.

He lifted and lowered the left arm of the corpse supported on the arm of the chair to test the stiffness of the corpse.In fact, he doesn't know much about this aspect of knowledge.The reason why he did this was just to pretend to be a coroner and put on a show there. On the left arm of the dead body was a watch, and immediately in the darkness, tick, tick, it was this watch that gave him the initial alertness.Untie it and see that the brand is the famous Movado.Strangely, if the first batch of incorrupt recipients had the same purpose as themselves and came here just for receiving, then why didn't they or they take away the gold coin after accepting a batch of supplies in the safe? The cigarette case and this watch?Would a person called a receiver be so incorruptible?No way?

He was thinking, it seems that the main reason for this incident is not simply for robbery! Don't worry about it, this watch is still worth some money, if people abandon me, just accept it, why be so polite! He apologized to the corpse, and put the Movado watch in his pocket humbly.This is the second of the remaining receipts he has received. He began to examine the corpse's wounds again. On the shirt of the corpse, there was no burn mark on the bullet hole.It can be seen that the firing distance is not too close.It seemed that the amateur executioner shot at the dead through the square table.For the sake of inspection, he grabbed the pair of long-edged scissors on the table and cut a small square hole in the corpse's shirt. He bowed his head and looked at it carefully.

The wound was on the right breast.Oh, the bullet hole is so big, what kind of gun is it that can make such a result? After turning the swivel chair, he pushed the stubborn corpse down a little bit, and took a look, is there a bullet exit on the back?Yeah, there is.Well, instead of doing it, he cut a small square hole in the back of the shirt to allow extra air to circulate.If you look closely, the exit of the bullet is to the right of the spine, and its position is slightly lower than the entrance, which shows that the bullet passed through the body of the deceased in an oblique line, and when the murderer fired the gun, the muzzle of the gun was slightly downward.

He suddenly straightened his body, his eyes fixed on the right side of the swivel chair opposite, this position, which was also the position where he first stood there and saw the dead body with the flashlight.Obviously, he thought, the bullet was fired from this angle.Then, in addition to the two guests sitting in this room at that time, there might be a third guest.The man apparently shot while standing.Although it is said that the person who was sitting at first could stand up and shoot later, but depending on the situation, it would be more reasonable to say that there is a third person.

He squatted down while thinking.After the swivel chair, go find the bullet.He found his object under the wall, and found the shell casing nearby.When I looked closely, it was a steel-tipped bullet of a military pistol, and the style was a bit special.He whistled lightly, put the bullet and the shell casing in the palm of his hand, tossed it lightly, and weighed it. At this moment, he suddenly found that there was also a hole in the suit belt on the right side of the deceased. A gun handle.Pull it out and see that it is a German-made 7.65mm "Leuger" gun.There were five bullets remaining in the chamber, but the safety was stuck and would not open.This seems to explain one of the reasons why the deceased had a gun and did not want to draw it to resist. One of the reasons may be: the situation is too late.
