In Xu Fang's new book, there are several locked-room murder cases, which are the most common plot in detective novels.
Basically, all detective novels have this kind of plot, designing a secret room and creating the illusion that the deceased committed suicide.
…
Why do we have to seal our homes tightly every time someone commits suicide? What’s the point…
Okay, I won’t complain anymore. Bai Song is going to design a few such cases with Xu Fang.
Flaubert once said... "All stories have been written by their generation, and new stories written later are nothing more than changing the characters and backgrounds." This sentence...
It’s really true…
Bai Song has read a lot of detective novels, and the locked room murder cases have basically been written out. Bai Song doesn't have any good ideas, so he can only think slowly. The only idea is to design more complex physical and chemical methods?
After hanging up the phone, Bai Song felt even more headache. It was tiring enough to handle cases every day, and he had to design the case. Bai Song was thinking, would there be a big boss who would make a hole in the wall after killing someone, and then perfectly build it up from the outside? This is the real murder in a closed room... Wang Feng, who made a hole in the roof of the gold shop these days, almost poisoned Bai Song's brain.
Bai Song's mind was in a mess and he was in no mood to look at the case files anymore. It was already past lunchtime and there was no food in the cafeteria, so he drove home.
When he was busy, Bai Song sometimes didn't go home for several days. The house was very quiet. He just ate some noodles and cleaned up the house.
Bai Song's house was originally owned by a well-off owner, and the decoration was quite tasteful. However, a lot of furniture was moved away, and Bai Song later bought new ones. So the house is very clean and tidy, and it is still very nice after a little tidying up.
After all, he graduated from a police academy. Although Bai Song sometimes didn't take a shower for several days when he was busy, when it came to skills like cleaning the house and folding quilts, they were officially maxed out during the military training.
After all, the military training at the police academy is conducted directly within the army and is much stricter than that in ordinary schools.
The next day, Bai Song finally heard some good news. Xinqiao would come on Saturday, and she would not come alone, but would bring her mother with her.
This made Bai Song really nervous. He was nervous for a whole day, and suddenly he found a problem. What was he nervous about? ? ?
Yeah, why are you nervous?
Having said that, Bai Song still asked what was going on. He then found out that Zhao Xinqiao's mother retired last year and often went to Shangjing City to accompany her daughter. She always went shopping with her daughter. This time, she heard that her daughter was going to Tianhua City next Monday, and she thought that she had never been to Tianhua City, so she suggested to come here for a visit. Zhao Xinqiao naturally agreed.
Tianhua City has fewer attractions than Shangjing City, but it also has some characteristics. Bai Song asked several people and carefully analyzed where it is suitable for the elderly to visit. He also arranged several good Tianhua City delicacies.
On Friday afternoon, our inspector Bai Da finished all the work for the unit, washed himself, had a haircut, and then washed the car very clean...
Early the next morning, Bai Song drove to the train station.
Everything went smoothly and we picked up Zhao Xinqiao and her mother Qin Tao at around nine in the morning.
"Where do we want to go first?" Bai Song was driving the car while the two ladies were sitting in the back.
"It's fun anywhere. Feel free to go." Zhao Xinqiao was very happy and looked around. "Are you still borrowing your friend's car? It's so inappropriate. In fact, we can take the bus."
"Ah..." Bai Song didn't know what he was thinking, and he took several seconds to answer the question: "Oh, Sun Jie sold the car to me, and I bought it for transportation. Although it's not very good, it's still good for transportation."
"Sun Jie? Is he the forensic doctor you mentioned last time?" Zhao Xinqiao found Bai Song's nervous look a little funny.
"Yes, it's him. He likes to play off-road vehicles now." Bai Song didn't know what he was thinking about, and he actually started talking about Sun Jie.
"Okay, okay, where are we going?" Zhao Xinqiao looked at his mother and then at Bai Song.
"Let's go to Quanye Street. Most of the buildings there are from 100 years ago. They are quite beautiful, and there are fewer people than in Shangjing City." Fortunately, Bai Song had done a lot of homework beforehand, so he drove purely on instinct.
Bai Song immediately sent the two to their residence, the same hotel as last time. The main reason was that Zhao Xinqiao had to go to the court to listen to the trial on Monday. After settling them down, he took the two to Quanye Street.
The style here is from the Republic of China a hundred years ago. Today is Saturday, and there are quite a lot of people here. Bai Song doesn't know what he is doing, but he stands in front to clear the way for the two of them, which makes Zhao Xinqiao smile secretly.
At noon, Bai Song found a very quiet restaurant. This restaurant is only known by many people from Tianhua City. The dishes are very authentic, but Bai Song hardly picked up his chopsticks. He was nervous...
What are you nervous about...
"Eat, both of you." Zhao Xinqiao looked at his mother and Bai Song, who were not eating much. "Are you tired from shopping this morning? Why don't you eat such delicious food?"
Zhao Xinqiao blinked his bright eyes, somewhat confused.
Bai Song quickly stood up and weighed a piece of oxtail bone with a spoon and gave it to Qin Tao, "Auntie, please eat more."
Qin Tao had been observing all morning today. Although Bai Song was dressed simply and didn't drive a nice car, the young man was very polite, well-educated, and sensible, which impressed her.
Zhao Xinqiao's father was well educated, and his daughter was a bit rebellious. When she chose the police academy, her parents didn't care much. But the police academy was not suitable for academics after all, so Zhao Xinqiao chose a better school for postgraduate study after graduating from college, and her parents were very pleased.
This was not the first time Qin Tao had heard his daughter mention this classmate from Tianhua City. Why did she choose to come this time? Naturally, she was very curious and wanted to come and see.
From the fact that they support their daughter's application to the police college, we can see that the family is very confident in their child. However, as a mother, she always wants to know more.
Qin Tao was originally worried that some policemen might be rough or have bad tempers, but after meeting them for the past morning, he felt pretty good. However, for some unknown reason, he has been having a bad appetite lately.
During the meal, except for Zhao Xinqiao who ate happily, Qin Tao and Bai Song didn't eat much. Zhao Xinqiao would not allow this, and forced Bai Song to eat most of the plate of meat and a large bowl of egg fried rice before he let him go.
Qin Tao's appetite was indeed not very good. His plate and bowl were piled up, but he only ate a little. Bai Song felt uncomfortable and secretly asked Zhao Xinqiao several times if his aunt had any dietary restrictions that she had not told him.
Because the two young men were so enthusiastic, Qin Tao ate as much as he could, and Bai Song felt a little relieved.
