Chapter 244: Always in Suspicion

Chen Yan smiled.

Walking out of the interrogation room, Chen Yan suddenly felt enlightened.

The key to this so-called closed room murder case was the bolt!

Because Duan Zhongxin proposed to lock the bolt, Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi firmly believed that no one could come in after they fainted for the second time.

At least, it was impossible for someone to come in without breaking the bolt.

It was precisely because of this that Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi insisted that it was the other party who killed Duan Zhongxin.

The most fundamental reason why Chen Yan, Hu Xueying, and others believed in this closed room murder case was also because of the bolt.

Because if the door was not locked at the time, then after the three people fainted for the second time, any outsider could enter the red brick house and kill people.

Then the wooden door was wrapped with wire.

However, when the two people were rescued, they both thought that the other party opened the bolt on the wooden door.

Thus ignoring this most critical detail.

Both of them thought that the other party opened the bolt, which means that neither of them opened the bolt.

So the question is, who opened the bolt?

It's not Yu Huihui, nor Tang Muqi.

Could it be that Duan Zhongxin, who had been killed by a brick, had revived and opened the bolt?

Haha.

Don't be funny.

A carefully planned murder case in a closed room, no matter how smart the contestant is, it is impossible to have no flaws.

There is a saying, the more you do, the more mistakes you make!

"Arrest Zhang Baoshan immediately!"

Zhang Baoshan?

Hu Xueying was slightly startled.

Arrest Zhang Baoshan?

Isn't this the person who reported the case?

Why did they arrest Zhang Baoshan after asking Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi the same question?

"Team leader Chen," not only Hu Xueying was puzzled, but also Ma Tao and others: "Zhang Baoshan is the person who reported the case. He has an alibi that night."

"Yes, he does have an alibi."

Chen Yan nodded and looked at Ma Tao: "But how credible is this alibi? It's hard to say now."

Chen Yan had seen the security guard who gave evidence to Zhang Baoshan.

According to the confession of the security guard, Zhang Baoshan drank with him on the evening of the 27th.

Originally, according to the patrol plan, the security guard should have started patrolling at 12 o'clock and ended at 1 o'clock.

However, after it got dark, Zhang Baoshan took the security guard to drink.

He took the initiative to buy snacks and two bottles of Erguotou.

The two started drinking at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th and drank until midnight.

"Although I was drunk at the time, when I was about to patrol, I looked at the quartz clock on the table. At 12 o'clock, Captain Zhang took the initiative to say that I was drunk and he patrolled for me."

These are the original words of the security guard.

"About one o'clock, I went to the toilet and saw someone on Captain Zhang's bed. It must be correct..."

This is the absolute proof that Zhang Baoshan did not have time to commit the crime.

But, is the words of the security guard necessarily true?

Of course, Chen Yan's meaning is not that the security guard gave false testimony.

After all, when it comes to a murder case, the security guard certainly does not have the courage.

But what if everything the security guard saw that night was not true?

For example, it is very easy to change the time of the quartz clock on the table.

And Zhang Baoshan's bed.

The security guard at that time only saw someone on Zhang Baoshan's bed.

Specifically, he saw a bulge under the quilt, but he did not say that he saw Zhang Baoshan himself.

"If," Chen Yan looked at Ma Tao, Hu Xueying and others: "If Zhang Baoshan adjusted the time of the quartz clock, the security guard who drank with him mistakenly thought that he went out for patrol at twelve o'clock, is there such a possibility?"

Of course, these details are all conjectures and inferences.

What really made Chen Yan lock on Zhang Baoshan was the time of reporting the case.

This time is really too coincidental.

The reason why the closed room murder case was established is that the time of reporting the case is actually a very critical link.

The murderer must ensure that when the police discovered the red brick house, Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi inside were just about to wake up.

In this way, the detective cut the wire short outside, and Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi opened the bolt inside.

Only then can the secret room be unsealed.

Without careful planning and carefully selected reporting time, this closed room murder case would not be established.

If it was too early, Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi inside would not be awake, and even knocking on the door would not wake them up.

In this case, the closed room could not be discovered.

If it was too late, Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi would wake up and would definitely cry for help at the first time.

At this time, the two would have the possibility of discovering the opened bolt.

Then, the closed room murder case would not be established.

You should know that Zhang Baoshan got up at 7 o'clock in the morning on the 28th.

This can be proved by the security guard who drank with him.

But why did he have to report the case at nine o'clock two hours later?

Is it really like he said, he hesitated for a morning, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it was, so he reported the case.

Since he couldn't make up his mind, why didn't Zhang Baoshan talk to his subordinates first?

This is not in line with common sense!

Half an hour later.

Interrogation room.

Chen Yan sat opposite Zhang Baoshan and looked at the man quietly.

"Zhang Baoshan, do you... have anything to explain?"

"Confess?" Zhang Baoshan looked at Chen Yan with a puzzled expression: "Officer Chen, are you talking about the murder of Duan Zhongxin?"

Zhang Baoshan smiled bitterly: "I know I've said it all."

"That day, it was just a coincidence. I heard the noise while patrolling, but I didn't pay attention at the time."

"Actually... sometimes I think, if I hadn't drunk that day and reported the case directly, Duan Zhongxin might not have died..."

Chen Yan: "..."

This Zhang Baoshan is still telling stories at this time.

Hehe.

Wishful thinking!

"Zhang Baoshan, letting you speak is to give you the opportunity to seek leniency."

"But if you don't cherish it and insist on me speaking, do you know what this means?"

Chen Yan, who was staring at Zhang Baoshan's expression, found that Zhang Baoshan's eyes twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "Officer Chen, I really don't know what you mean."

"The team is still very busy. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the team first."

"Captain Zhang, you want to leave at this time... Isn't it a little late!"

"Since you don't say it, then I'll say it!"

Put a photo Pushing in front of Zhang Baoshan, Chen Yan leaned forward slightly and stared into Zhang Baoshan's eyes: "Are you familiar with this bookcase?"

"To be honest, your plan feels perfect to me."

"You not only used Yu Huihui and Tang Muqi, but even your subordinates, the detectives who closed the case at that time, were all in your plan."

"Officer Chen... I don't understand what you said..."

"I was not present when the case happened. When Duan Zhongxin and the other three were knocked unconscious, I was drinking with my subordinates."

"The security guard who drank with me can prove this!"

Time?

Haha.

"It's okay, Zhang Baoshan, we have plenty of time."

"Since you said you didn't have time to commit the crime, then I'll tell you about your time to commit the crime!"

"Let me tell you about the process at that time."

"On the night of the 27th, after dark, you started drinking with the security guard on night shift that day."

"After he drank too much, you adjusted the time on the quartz clock on the table in the duty room by about an hour."

"In this way, when the actual time was 11 o'clock, the time on the quartz clock showed that it was already midnight."

"So, you left the duty room and started patrolling. . "

"But in fact, between 11 and 12 o'clock, you knocked Duan Zhongxin and Tang Muqi unconscious with a hammer, and then knocked Yu Huihui unconscious with ether. "

"Then, you put the three of them in the red brick house of the abandoned factory. "

"After that, you returned to the duty dormitory and continued to drink with the security guard. After he fell asleep, you put clothes in the quilt to create the illusion that you were also sleeping. "

"Then, adjust the time of the quartz clock back. "

"Through these operations, the illusion of your absence was created. "

Chen Yan paused: "Zhang Baoshan, tell me, am I right?"
