Miss Bei refused to answer Jian Jing's questions. She did not admit that she had any relationship with Qu Jie, nor did she deny that he had threatened or blackmailed her.
Without evidence, Jian Jing did not pursue the matter and changed the subject: "You were the first one to come back yesterday."
"Yeah." She said indifferently, "Is there a problem?"
"What did you do after you came back? Did you notice anything about Qu Jie's movements?" she asked.
Miss Bei said, "What else can I do? Take a shower, apply a facial mask, do yoga. I'm very busy. I don't have time to care about other people's affairs."
Jian Jing asked, "You didn't notice anything?"
Miss Bei: "Yes.
" "He made a lot of noise when he came back. Did you hear it?
" Miss Bei answered perfunctorily, "It seems so. I didn't pay attention."
"Is there anything that impressed you tonight?"
"Impressive?" She said in a sarcastic tone, "Isn't the death of a person impressive enough?"
Jian Jing didn't answer, but just stared at her inquiringly.
At first, Miss Bei wanted to say something, but soon she felt unnatural. Jian Jing's eyes were not severe or intimidating, but calm. However, being shrouded by such a gaze reminded her of the feeling of standing under a high-definition camera for the first time.
Being scrutinized, analyzed, and judged makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"What are you looking at?" She tried to interrupt.
"Nothing." Jian Jing smiled, "Let me change the question. What do you think of Qu Jie?"
"We are not familiar with each other."
"You have worked together
before." "It's just filming. We don't have much interaction outside the play." Miss Bei defended, "I don't know him. You asked the wrong person."
"Then, you have no idea about his death?"
She nodded crisply.
It seems that there is no inside story for the time being. Jian Jing no longer wastes time: "Thank you for your cooperation."
The sky was bright, and every corner of the B&B revealed its true appearance.
Jian Jing spent half an hour carefully exploring this closed space and found some interesting things.
The prototype of the B&B is a square courtyard. In addition to the main gate
, patio, and main hall, there is also a passage behind the east and west wing rooms, which was originally used for servants to move around. The four
rooms in the east and west wing rooms have doors facing the courtyard and windows facing the passage, and are actually connected in all directions. The room converted from the main hall, which is where Jiang Baiyan originally lived, was specially made into a "U" shape in order to connect the patio with the two rooms in the backyard. There are rooms in the middle and passages on both sides that can lead directly to the back.
Therefore, the list of suspects is matched with their rooms, and the layout of the passages is added, and the situation of the B&B becomes extremely complicated.
West-East
....Ms. Bei.....Jiang Baiyan...
*.*********************.*.
*Dead person...*Empty room*...Director Li*
*Photographer.....Sky...Artist*
*Stage.....Well...Producer*
Kitchen...Restaurant...Door...
The deceased's room belongs to the main courtyard, with the door in the east and the window in the west, while the stage manager and photographer belong to the west wing, with the window in the west, and there is a passage behind, which can directly connect to the deceased's room. Director
Li's room is symmetrical with the deceased's, with the door in the west and the window in the east. The rooms of the art director and producer have the same orientation, with a passage in the east, and through this road, you can bypass the observation of the patio.
——Needless to say, if the murderer wants to kill someone, it is impossible for him to walk through the patio openly. Except for Bei and Jiang, anyone may see their tracks, which is undoubtedly a dead end.
But the alley does not lead directly to the deceased's room. Entering the backyard will lead to Jiang Baiyan's door. If you want to avoid everyone's sight and quietly get to the deceased's location, you must pass through Director Li's room.
In other words, if the artist and the producer want to kill someone, they must do so before 00:40. Similarly, if the producer wants to pass through the alley, he must pass through the artist's room.
I have to mention it here. Jian Jing stuck her head out to check the situation of the alley. The alley was equipped with a floor light, and the light was shone upwards. Even if the cat bent over, the light on the ground would cast a shadow and fall on the window.
Regardless of whether the people in the house noticed or not, this is a very risky move.
If you don't want to scare someone to commit the crime, you must hurry before the other person returns. Director Li did not have such a problem. Because the middle room had been painted, there was no one there. He could get there by going out and turning a corner.
This can be used to infer the time when the three people committed the crime.
Director Li: 00:40-1:40
Art Director: 23:50-00:40
Producer: 23:35-23:50 (or later, he stayed in the deceased's room for a while and could not be judged)
Look at the other side.
Similarly, if the scriptwriter wants to kill the deceased, he must do it before the camera returns. But the cinematographer is different. His room is adjacent to the deceased, and there is no third person in the middle of the alley.
So, the production manager: 23:35-00:15, the cinematographer: 00:15-1:40.
Miss Bei and Jiang Baiyan are in another situation.
They don't need to go through the patio to go to the deceased's room.
Miss Bei has no passage, only ordinary lighting. As long as she makes sure that the window of Jiang Baiyan's room is closed and carefully avoids the light source, she will not be discovered. Therefore
, her crime time is very long: 23:35-1:40, she can commit the crime at any time.
Director Li: 00:40-1:40
Art Director: 23:50-00:40
Producer: 23:35-23:50
Production Manager: 23:35-00:15
Director of Photography: 00:15-1:40
Lead Actress Bei: 23:35-1:40
Can the above time help identify the murderer? No.
Not only that, Jian Jing also had to face several difficult problems. The doors and windows of the deceased's room were locked. How did the murderer get in and out? Where did the blood come from? How did the girl get touched on the face while burning wheat?
Especially the last point, the deceased seemed to have encountered it before.
However, to solve the above questions, you must return to the scene.
This is a scene that Jian Jing doesn't want to go back to, but there is no way. Director Li is unwilling to call the police, and there is no professional intervention, so she has to go.
She was fully armed and bravely stepped into the messy place.
Take pictures first, then record videos, and then check the door lock.
The window is top-hung. You can push the window outward by turning the handle below. Because it is not a high-rise building, the window can be fully opened outward, which is not difficult for adults to enter and exit.
The door has a Class B lock, which requires a key. The landlord said that there is only one key for each room, and if it is lost, they can only find someone to pry it open. But there were no signs of prying on the door of the deceased's room.
The key was on the tea table at the entrance to the room.
She began to look for fishing line in the room.
She didn't find it.
Obviously, the murderer did not use fishing line [doge]
Jian Jing had a slight regret of losing a joke.
Back to the point, in fact, fishing line is not needed (it is too conspicuous), there are many rope-like things: bathrobe straps, belts, charging cables... They are not even necessarily rope-shaped objects.
There are so many messy objects on the scene, which can be arranged and combined to form several mechanisms.
She was at a loss as to where to start. After thinking for a long time, she tried to reconstruct the murder scene: the light was on in the room, he climbed in through the unlocked window, saw Qu Jie sleeping, and out of some strong motive for murder, he walked to the bed and strangled him. Qu Jie was drunk and died without any resistance...
No, that's not right.
Most people would think that the person was still awake when they saw the light on in the room. In that case, why did he carefully bypass the patio and sneak into his room to commit the crime?
Secondly, even if the murderer thought Qu Jie was drunk and unconscious, he saw that there was someone else next to him. How could he guarantee that Shaomai would not wake up halfway?
Unless he was very sure that the person in the room would not wake up.
This leads to two different possibilities: the murderer saw it OR the murderer arranged it.
Is there anything at the scene that can make a person unconscious? There
was a bottle of squeezed mineral water on the bedside table. He drank two sips, but this sealed mineral water is not easy to get, and it is difficult to ensure that Qu Jie will definitely drink it.
Humidifier? It was not used, and the plug was not plugged in.
Central air conditioning? She climbed up to check. The dust on the air outlet was very flat and even, without any scratches or traces, and no suspicious objects were found.
However, on the chandelier in the room, she saw a few spots of dragging blood.
Jian Jing carefully lay down the ladder, frowning and thinking hard.
"Jingjing." Jiang Baiyan strolled over and poked his head, "Any clues?"
Jian Jing glanced at him.
Jiang Baiyan: "???"
"What did Qu Jie do?" She went straight to the point, "Do you know who wants to kill him the most?"
"It's hard to say specifically, I only heard a little rumor, probably either pornography or drugs." Jiang Baiyan said, "The one who wants to kill him the most... should be his ex-girlfriend."
"Why?"
"She cheated on me." He said, "Before Qu Jie became famous, he relied on her to introduce him to several dramas, but he dumped her when he became famous. He said he wanted revenge, but not long after, she broke her leg in an accident on the set and retired from the entertainment industry."
Jian Jing asked, "What's her name?"
"I don't remember." Jiang Baiyan scratched his face, "I'll ask for you."
"By the way, are you familiar with the producer?"
"Normally, this time it was Director Li who asked me to come." He sighed, "I'm a little regretful. Producer Wang's level is up and down, and it's a big loss."
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Baiyan: "Look at the works he produced, some have good reputations, and some are a mess." He reported the names of several works, all of which were first-line big productions, and even Jian Jing had heard of them.
She said: "I remember the news said that these were investments of several hundred million."
"Yes, he is very good at attracting investment." Jiang Baiyan said, "That's why he can do so well. Who doesn't like producers who can attract money?"
"I know." She said, "I'll go see him again."
At noon, Jian Jing stopped the producer who was about to go out and said she wanted to talk to him alone.
The producer had a look on her face that said, "Why are you so nosy?" But Director Li didn't dare to offend her now, so he reluctantly agreed after she spoke up for him.
"What's the matter?" The second time they asked, the suspects were generally alert, "I've told you everything I know."
Jian Jing asked, "I want to know in detail what you did after you went to the deceased's room last night."
"I chatted with Xiao Qu for a while - didn't I tell you that?" The producer frowned, "Don't ask such repetitive questions, my time is precious."
Jian Jing: "Just chatted?"
The producer: "What else?"
"At the moment, you are the most suspicious." She said, "If you don't tell me the truth, I will hand the investigation back to the police. By then, even if you are not the murderer, you should be prosecuted."
The producer laughed in anger, "What a mess, what did I do?"
"When Qu Jie came back at 11:30, he was so drunk that he could hardly stand. You are a man, tell me, can a man really have sex as usual when he is so drunk?" Jian Jing stared into his eyes, "You said you stayed in his room for a while, what did you do?"
The producer's face was gloomy: "Miss Jian, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
He said sternly: "You must be responsible for what you say. Don't think you are great just because you have adapted your book. There are so many authors like this. I am very familiar with Lao Huang, and I often cooperate with Feiniao. As long as I say hello, do you think they will still cooperate with you?"
"Are you threatening me?" Jian Jing was greatly surprised.
"I'm asking you to stop talking nonsense and defaming other people's reputations," the producer said coldly. "Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I'll talk to your boss directly."
Jian Jing changed the subject: "Talk, talk now. Who do you want to talk to, Kang Mucheng or Kang Lei? Do you want me to make a phone call for you?" She sneered again, "I never slander people without any evidence. Do you think that the bed sheet is contaminated with blood and the poison cannot be extracted?"
"To tell you the truth, I have already obtained the evidence from that classmate." She was extremely angry and her voice was rarely raised. "As long as we hand it over to the police and compare the DNA, do you think the procuratorate will sue you for rape?"
