36: Chapter 36 Reconstructing the Crime Method

Now the murderer is identified, but the motive and evidence are still missing.

The camera that could have captured Zheng Dong's room must have been damaged by the murderer in advance, so the motive...

Thinking of this, Qin Mo looked at Li Ming beside him.

"Officer Li, could you please arrange for someone to buy a dagger and a rubber band?"

"What are you going to do?"

Li Ming looked at Qin Mo with confusion.

"Just do as I say. I roughly know who the murderer is; it's highly likely to be this person, but I need to verify something, and I've already figured out the murderer's modus operandi."

"Okay! I'll arrange for someone to prepare it immediately."

Li Ming said solemnly, then immediately went to make arrangements.

...

After Li Ming left, Qin Mo fell into deep thought again.

Zheng Dong took the mask to his room...

Wait! How did Zheng Dong take the mask to his room?

Right! I get it! I know what the evidence is! Everything, I know everything now!

Qin Mo suddenly revealed a surprised smile.

Just then, Li Ming walked over.

Upon seeing Qin Mo, his expression turned grave.

"Just as you thought, the murderer is very likely to be him!"

Qin Mo nodded upon hearing this.

"Call everyone to this room. Let me solve this mystery!"

"You've solved it?"

Li Ming was shocked. He couldn't even think of the murderer's modus operandi, and Qin Mo had already solved it...

Seeing Qin Mo nod, Li Ming helplessly called everyone over.

Soon, the room was packed with people.

The people in the live stream were confused.

"I'm so confused. Who is the murderer? How is this not suicide?"

"Exactly, this locked room has completely ruled out the possibility of homicide, unless someone really killed the victim and escaped using wall-passing magic."

"How is that possible? Do you think you're Gray Wolf? If you don't do this and that, I can't eat..."

"I think it's highly likely suicide because this is completely impossible. Maybe this Zheng Dong really lived enough, or maybe he just wanted to give everyone a surprise when he died, which is why he set up the scene so strangely."

"How is that possible? If you want to die, why care about so much?"

"Who knows, maybe the way rich people think is just that unique..."

...

"Young man, I don't know why you called us over?"

Zheng Tian looked at Qin Mo's back, full of confusion.

"Yeah, everyone has been busy all afternoon. Why don't we go eat first?"

Uncle Zhang hurriedly echoed.

Qin Mo turned around and scanned the crowd, then spoke slowly.

"I believe everyone is wondering why I called you all here. It's simple: the reason I called everyone is to find that murderer."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Tian was shocked.

"What? Do you mean the murderer is among us?"

Qin Mo nodded confidently: "That's right!"

Zheng Tian looked incredulous.

"How is this possible? Uncle Zhang left at twelve midnight, and my father was killed at four in the morning. Uncle Zhang has a full alibi."

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean only Liu Wen and I are suspects?"

Qin Mo smiled: "If we talk about suspicion alone, indeed, you two are the most likely."

Zheng Tian looked at Qin Mo in shock, his face full of disbelief. Even Liu Wen beside him had her mouth wide open, as if she hadn't expected Qin Mo to suspect the two of them.

"How is that possible! That's my father!"

"Besides, I don't usually have conflicts with my father, how could I kill him? You can ask Uncle Zhang, he knows my relationship with my father."

Saying this, Zheng Tian pointed to Uncle Zhang.

However, to his surprise, Uncle Zhang hesitated and remained silent.

"You..."

Seeing Uncle Zhang's reaction, Zheng Tian was shocked, his voice trembling.

"Uncle Zhang, could it be... that even you suspect we did it?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang looked panicked.

"Young Master, no, no! I believe you, it's just... it's just..."

"Just what?" Li Ming frowned.

Uncle Zhang sighed and said slowly under Zheng Tian's incredulous gaze: "It's just that I saw Young Master arguing with the Old Master two days ago. Although I believe Young Master didn't do it, I can't help prove it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Tian roared: "That was my father urging me to have children, so I argued with him a bit. How could that become a motive for killing my father?"

With these words, everyone fell silent. Although this reason was incredible, it was the only possibility.

Li Ming waved his hand, and two officers immediately stepped forward to restrain Zheng Tian on both sides.

"Wait!"

Just as Zheng Tian wanted to resist, a calm voice came.

Qin Mo smiled: "I don't think I've finished yet. If we talk about suspicion, indeed, you two are the greatest, but unfortunately, you are not the murderer."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Li Ming said in a deep voice: "If it's not them, who could it be? There are only four people here, and Uncle Zhang has an alibi. Could it be a ghost?"

Everyone looked at Qin Mo. It was true; if it wasn't these two, it was either suicide or a ghost.

Qin Mo said unhurriedly: "A bold guess: in fact, the murderer used this point to mislead everyone."

Everyone thought for a long time but had no clue.

Li Ming said helplessly: "Stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us, who exactly is the murderer?"

Everyone looked at Qin Mo with curiosity, expecting him to solve the mystery.

Qin Mo smiled slightly, then said coldly: "The murderer is..."

He pointed to Uncle Zhang.

"You, who have been sweating coldly! Uncle Zhang!"

...

After these words, there was a brief silence, followed by an uproar.

Uncle Zhang was shocked, then chuckled and pretended to be calm: "How is that possible? The Old Master was killed at four in the morning, and I left at twelve. How could it be me?"

At this time, Li Ming also frowned: "That's right, Uncle Zhang left at twelve, and he was killed at four. How could it be him?"

Qin Mo smiled unhurriedly.

"I'll talk about that later. Let me first demonstrate the murderer's modus operandi."

"Officer Li, where are the things I asked you to buy?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Li Ming reacted immediately, then took out a dagger and a long rubber band.

"Now, everyone please go outside. I'm going to start reconstructing the criminal's entire process."

As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, everyone walked out. In an instant, there was no one in the room, and everyone looked at Qin Mo curiously.

Qin Mo casually moved a stool from the side, then asked Li Ming to stand on it. From above the stool, one could clearly see the situation inside through the railing above the door.

Li Ming asked with some confusion: "The gap in this railing is only one centimeter. How can one commit a crime from here?"

Qin Mo smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you'll know in a moment."

"Next, Officer Li, please thread the rubber band through the ring at the end of the dagger handle."

"Okay!"

Officer Li did as he was told.
