As soon as he finished speaking, his cold gaze fell on Bansheng.
"Since Mr. Banshan keeps saying that you wrote the script, and since you created this case, you should provide a detailed explanation of the murderer's prison break."
Banshan's heart skipped a beat.
How did the murderer do it? Without cheating, this would be completely impossible.
Banshan nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue and said tremblingly, "I didn't think about this plot point in detail at the time, but now that I think about it, it might just be a bug."
Bai Qianmo curled her lips: "So unprofessional?"
Banshan glared angrily at Bai Qianmo: "I said it's a bug and you said I'm not rigorous. If you're so capable, then tell me."
Bai Qianmo scoffed: "It's actually very simple. Hands become very soft after being soaked in soapy water for a long time. So, before picking the lock, the murderer soaked his hands in soapy water and then used them to successfully open the keyhole by passing them through the gaps in the steel bars."
Old Wei asked Captain Liu, "Captain Liu, is Miss Bai right?"
After pondering for a moment, Captain Liu nodded and said, "In principle, hands will indeed be much softer after being soaked in soapy water."
Xu Ziqian said coldly, "Even if she answered that correctly, it doesn't prove anything. It's common knowledge that soaking your hands in soapy water will make them soft, right?"
Mr. Wei feigned ignorance and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Banshan understand such a common-sense question?"
Xu Ziqian was taken aback and blinked quickly, feeling guilty.
Banshan felt even more uneasy, cursing himself for being so unlucky that he was caught in the crossfire.
“All works are imperfect, and oversights are inevitable in the creative process. This issue does not prove that the work was not created by Mr. Banshan.”
"Yes, Mr. Banshan isn't a professional criminal investigation expert, so it's understandable that there are loopholes."
Captain Liu nodded quickly: "Even we professional criminal investigators can't guarantee that we can grasp and understand the criminal process of every murderer."
Bai Qianmo glanced coldly at Captain Liu. This man was biased towards Xu Ziqian and Banshan in every way, and he was most likely bribed.
Old Wei naturally noticed Captain Liu's bias, and a sharp glint flashed in his deep, aged eyes.
He had his subordinates secretly invite Captain Liu and Professor Huang, all for the sake of fairness.
However, Captain Liu showed favoritism towards Banshan at every turn, which suggests that there is a traitor within Jinlingtang.
Thinking about it this way, it's very likely that all the questions Liu raised had already been discussed with Banshan beforehand. If it weren't for Qianmo's exceptional professionalism, which allowed her to raise questions that even Liu had overlooked, they might have really lost to these people today.
"We can't always rely on Liu to ask questions. Everyone here has read the script, so please feel free to ask any questions you may have."
As soon as Old Wei finished speaking, Xu Ziqian and Banshan's expressions changed drastically.
Halfway up the mountain, his tense body began to tremble slightly. Old Wei glanced at the two men's faces out of the corner of his eye, his mind clear as day.
One of the members spoke up.
"I'm particularly interested in the dismemberment murder case in the fifth chapter. After the wife poisoned and dismembered her husband, his remains were never found. Because the wife committed suicide before the police could solve the case, this remains an unsolved mystery. What are your thoughts on this, screenwriters?"
Upon hearing this question, Banshan felt a chill run down his spine.
This case is the most bizarre of all. In the end, the wife killed several lovers before committing suicide, and the husband's dismembered flesh was found in more than fifty dumping sites. However, the husband's skull and skeleton had vanished. What's baffling is that this case does not explain in detail how the wife disposed of the husband's remains.
"Mr. Banshan, would you like to speak first?" Old Wei suggested.
Banshan silently looked at Bai Qianmo: "I was here first last time, so you can go first this time."
Bai Qianmo knew that Banshan couldn't answer anymore. Even if Captain Liu had done his homework beforehand, he probably still couldn't explain the case clearly.
"Mr. Banshan's answer last time seemed too general, and not exactly a standard answer, was it?" Professor Huang, the psychologist, spoke up.
Banshan looked somewhat embarrassed: "Novels shouldn't be analyzed too much from a professional perspective. When I was writing the book, I never imagined that one day I would be sitting here like a student, being questioned by others?"
Professor Huang smiled meaningfully: "This question is very technical. I suggest that the two of you write it down on paper, and then we will reveal the answer together in the end."
Banshan's eyelids twitched, and a flash of panic quickly crossed his pupils.
"Okay, let's write it down on paper."
When Old Wei spoke, his secretary immediately prepared paper and pen and presented them to Bai Qianmo and Banshan respectively.
"You have five minutes. Please write your answers on paper."
Bai Qianmo held the pen, lowered her eyes, and began to write quickly.
Banshan hesitated for a long time, unsure how to begin writing.
Upon seeing this, Xu Ziqian felt a chill run down his spine, and his previously composed face gradually revealed a look of panic.
Five minutes later
The two men presented their answers to Old Wei together.
After examining the body, Old Wei looked at Captain Liu and asked, "Captain Liu, you're an expert in this field. What do you think happened to the husband's bones?"
Team Leader Liu frowned and pondered for a while.
"Currently, there seem to be two possibilities. First, the body was secretly buried, and the location where it was dumped may have been too far away for the police to find. Second, the remains may have been dissolved by some kind of chemical product."
Old Wei nodded: "Your answer is exactly what Mr. Banshan and Miss Bai answered respectively. Mr. Banshan thinks it is the first one, while Miss Bai thinks it is the second one. Which one do you think is most likely?"
