Chapter 86: Why not give it a try?



At first, because the deceased was pregnant, Luo Xuening directly concluded that the murderer killed her because he was jealous of the deceased's identity and thought it would bring trouble to himself.

However, the words of the three suspects just now did not bring any opportunities for Luo Xuening's judgment. She had some suspicions in her heart, but the suspects' behavior made her judgment fall into misunderstanding.

If the murderer was really the adulterer, the biological father of the child in the victim's belly, then his method of committing the crime would be incomprehensible to Luo Xuening.

In the brief moment when she realized her problem, Luo Xuening immediately changed direction.

Because she saw evidence on the last suspect.

"If you are not the murderer, I will naturally not care about you, but if you are the murderer, I will certainly care about you."

Luo Xue Ning's words successfully changed the suspect's expression. He looked at Luo Xue Ning coldly, and a certain emotion was brewing in his deep eyes.

"I didn't even know the deceased, so why do you insist that I am the murderer?"

Wang Wu's emotions were extremely agitated. It was obvious that he was furious and humiliated after being exposed.

Li Si also changed his color at the same time as Wang Wu. Li Si had always been a suspect of Luo Xuening. However, compared with the real evidence, the crime committed by Wang Wu was much more serious than that of Li Si.

"Yes, I was just about to ask you, you didn't know the deceased, why did you want to kill him?"

Luoxue frowned, and her voice was loud and powerful. As soon as she spoke, those people with ulterior motives couldn't help but shudder their shoulders.

"The deceased, Ms. He, was strangled to death by a thin rope. I speculate that the situation at the time was that someone covered her mouth and nose from behind while she was waiting for her lover. The deceased was a normal person and she was not strong enough to resist the murderer, but she would definitely resist."

"So, the victim opened her mouth and bit the murderer's palm. The murderer felt pain and let go of her hand, and the victim took the opportunity to escape. At this time, the murderer could judge that this woman was not easy to deal with, so he decided to kill her."

"So, when the murderer found the deceased, he strangled him with a thin rope. After the murder, the murderer did not escape immediately, but tried to destroy the scene."

At the beginning, the reason why Luo Xuening made a wrong judgment was the carefully disguised crime scene.

And now, Luo Xuening has seen the secret of this pretend murder scene, and the subsequent reasoning is obvious.

Luo Xuening took the opportunity to glance at the three captured suspects. At this moment, their movements were identical, with their heads tilted and brows frowned, but the look in their eyes was completely different.

It was Zhang San, who was the first to eliminate the suspicion, who frowned and looked at Luo Xuening seriously, as if he was listening attentively.

"First of all, this crime scene is not the original crime scene, and the time of death of the body is not one month ago as initially determined by the coroner."

What did you say? Are you sure?

Long Moxun remained silent for too long, until Luo Xuening said those shocking words, then he walked out. The intimidating aura from him made the three suspects' facial muscles tremble in unison.

"Your Highness, what Luo Xue Ning said is true. Please look, there is a clear mark left by the brazier on the bed next to the corpse."

This was a point that Luo Xuening had overlooked before, because her mind was full of the bloody scene of the pregnant corpse. In addition, the subsequent quarrel with Long Moxun made Luo Xuening even more upset.

She admitted that under the circumstances, as a detective, she allowed her emotions to interfere with her judgment, which was really damning.

Long Moxun followed the direction of Luo Xuening's finger and unsurprisingly glanced at the mottled marks on the ground.

There were not many marks, and most of them were in sections. On the ground where there were already many marks, such strange marks were not easy to be found. The coroner was concentrating on the autopsy at the time and naturally did not pay attention to these aspects. So this woman, Luo Xuening, was really worth several people.

"How can you be sure that these are the marks left by the brazier?" Long Moxun always questioned Luo Xuening's conclusions.

"Your Highness, please look, the deceased's room is closed, but only the window near the bed is open. This must be the window that the deceased used to ventilate the room after burning charcoal. Moreover, if the deceased had lit the stove himself, such a delicate person would have used a fumigation cage. But you can see traces of burning charcoal in the room, but no traces of using any incense. So, I conclude that the deceased did not light the stove himself, then, it can only be the act of the murderer."

Luoxue paused. In fact, the reason why she could associate the corpse with the stove was because she had been studying the living habits of the people of Nanshao Kingdom in recent days.

It is still early autumn, and it is not the heating season yet. However, the deceased's house is filled with the smell of charcoal fire. People in the south usually use fumigation cages to keep warm. Not only do they use stoves to make fire, they also put spices in the stove and then put a bamboo cage on the outside. This not only allows for heating, but also allows for burning of incense.

If the charcoal fire was not burned for heating, then the only thing Luo Xuening could think of was to use the high temperature to make the corpse decay faster, thereby falsifying the corpse's time of death.

"Will the corpse decay faster if it is smoked by charcoal fire?"

Long Moxun asked with a frown on his face. His expression did not ease as the case became clearer. Instead, it became even uglier. Because, if the time of the crime was determined to be wrong, then this case would definitely not be the thirteenth case of closed-room murder. However, with such a coincidental time and coincidental method of committing the crime, there was no guarantee that there would not be elements of a closed-room murder involved.

If this is the case, then where is the real thirteenth case? Has it already happened or is it still in the hidden stage?

"Luo Xue Ning, can you determine the actual time of death of the corpse?"

Long Moxun glanced at the suspects with cold eyes. Is there anyone among them who has a direct connection with the murderer of the Lost Murder Case?

"This... is really hard to judge."

Luo Xuening sighed. She really wanted to grab Long Moxun's ears and tell him, I am a criminal psychologist, not a coroner.

However, Luo Xuening had come into contact with many corpses before, so she seemed to have some special methods to judge the time of death.

"My Lord, I would like to try this?"

Luo Xuening looked at the suspect, her eyes lit up, and she tiptoed close to Long Moxun. She put her pink lips next to Long Moxun's ear and told him a good way to test the time of death of a corpse.

"My Lord, do you think this is feasible?"

As the fresh breath left, Long Moxun was stunned. He was actually a little disappointed. After a moment of stunned silence, he said absentmindedly: "Okay."
