Chapter 62: Jiang Chen's Reasoning
The case is complicated and confusing. Without criminal investigation tools to collect fingerprints and human autopsy, it is impossible to know the cause of death of the deceased.
Everyone was confused for the moment, only Jiang Chen looked at one of the palace ladies with his peripheral vision.
Even the most perfect crime will leave clues.
Jiang Chen already had a suspect based on his reasoning, but he just lacked evidence.
"Dispose of the body."
"It's the palace master."
"Wait a minute, I still have something to say. Palace Master, please give me a little more time."
"What do you want to say."
"Palace Master, please allow me to ask a few questions to a senior sister."
"Um."
Everyone looked at Jiang Chen strangely and didn't know what he wanted to say.
"Excuse me, the first person who heard the sound and ran to open the door to see the deceased was the three of you."
"Yes, it was the three of us who discovered the deceased first."
"Are you sure there were only the three of you at that time and no outsiders?"
"Yes."
"May I ask when you joined the Flower Burial Palace."
"I was two years ago."
"I was three years ago."
"I was a year ago."
"Well, now I want to do an experiment. Palace Master, please give me a little more time."
"Um."
Leng Yue wanted to see what he was up to.
"Please move the table to the door and block it."
The palace maid looked at Leng Yue, who nodded.
"Please, the three of you, please go outside first."
After the three of them went out, Jiang Chen closed the door, and the palace maid moved a table to block the door.
Everyone was wondering what he was going to do.
"Now let's get out of the way. Please use all your strength to knock the door open. I'll count one, two, three and start hitting. One...two...three...hit!"
There was just a bang, the door was knocked open, the table was knocked to the ground, and three people rushed in.
"Are you three sure you tried your best just now?"
"Yes."
"What exactly do you want to prove? Stop being mysterious and come out with your conclusion quickly."
An elder said impatiently.
"Look, everyone, the three of them used their greatest strength to push the table to this place. Do you still remember where the table was when we came in?"
"I remember the table being in this position."
"Yes, when we came in, the table was in this position."
"Then the good result is that no matter how hard we push the door, the table will not move to this position. Then why was the table in this position when we came in? Because the table was not knocked down by the three of them, but by the deceased.
He knocked it down himself."
"Yeah, no matter how hard it hits, the table shouldn't have reached this position."
"Yes, then the table is obviously blocked behind the door."
"What the hell is going on."
Jiang Chen brought the table three feet away from the door.
"Now I'll put the table in this place and we'll all come outside."
Everyone came outside and Jiang Chen closed the door.
"Now when you look at it from the outside, it looks like the table is behind the door."
"Yes, now it looks like the table is indeed behind the door. What is going on?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Chen in unison.
"This is because of the light difference. What you see is just the shadow of the candlelight on the table, but the real thing is some distance away from the door."
"Then we obviously used a lot of force to break it open."
"Yes, how do you explain this?"
"Are you sure you really pushed her away with force? I guess she was the only one who used her body to pretend to push her away, but the two of you mistakenly felt that you were pushing her away with force. Think carefully about whether you really pushed her away with force."
"Listening to what you said, it seemed like the door opened before I even touched it."
"I am!"
The two looked at each other in surprise, but the palace maid pointed at by Jiang Chen was a little nervous.
"You shouldn't misunderstand that I killed her, right? Even if the door was not blocked at that time, she was already dead when we came. We heard the sound together and came here."
"Yes, we were indeed together at that time. How could she kill someone?"
Jiang Chen raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the palace maid named Xiaomei with a mysterious expression.
"Don't forget, this is not an ordinary physical death. This is a curse. As long as you cast a spell, you can kill people even if they are not around. Do you still remember what they said at that time?"
"What words!"
Everyone couldn't think of anything to say, so they all looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity, and Leng Yue also looked at it with interest.
"Please recall who called Xiao Cui's name as soon as he opened the door."
The other two palace maids raised their heads slightly to reminisce, and then looked at Xiaomei in unison.
"Yes, I shouted first, so what does that mean?"
"Of course it can explain something. Let's recall, when we came in, the face of the deceased..."
"I learned that the deceased's face was completely covered by hair."
Everyone remembers it clearly.
"Then, when you can't see Xiao Cui's face on the ground, how can you confirm that the deceased is Xiao Cui by speaking."
Everyone suddenly realized and looked at Xiaomei, and she also looked nervous.
"This is Xiao Cui's room. Most people will first think that the deceased is Xiao Cui."
Everyone thinks it makes sense.
"Are you sure this is Xiaocui's room?"
"What do you mean, this is not Xiaocui's room."
"Please go out and look carefully at the wooden sign next to the door. When you see the wooden sign, it is Room C."
People who knew Xiao Cui showed surprised expressions.
"This is really not Xiao Cui's room. This is the room where Xiao Lan was killed by the corpse demon some time ago."
"Yes, it's Xiaolan's room."
Since the rooms here are connected, except for the two rooms on the left and right, it is easy to go wrong in the middle room if you don't pay attention. Moreover, it is also night, so it is even easier to misunderstand.
This time Xiaomei clenched her hands nervously and her body was shaking.
"How do you know this room is not Xiaocui's? You have never been here."
This disciple lives in the east, far away from Fengming Palace and Xiao Qing's residence. Not long after Jiang Chen came to the Burial Flower Palace, it is easy for the disciples here to admit their mistakes, let alone him.
Hearing the palace owner's question, Jiang Chen said with a smile: "There is a pair of shoes in the room. The size of the shoes is very different from that of the deceased. From this, I judge that this room does not belong to the deceased."
A palace maid went in to look for it, and sure enough she saw a pair of shoes neatly placed in the cabinet, and the cabinet was open.
Now everyone suddenly realized that they didn't expect that they didn't understand such a simple truth. At this time, everyone looked at Jiang Chen with a little admiration.
"Tell me why you cursed her."
