The mark of this ax is very clear. Even at the position facing the door, the height is about the same as Xiaoli's neck. Although the space in the elevator is not too big, if you adjust the position of the ax handle, you can still swing it.

open.

But...it's because these marks are so clear and reasonable that something seems wrong.

That's...time...!

Zhou Yan saw that Xiao Chen was still a little confused and asked, "What? I still don't understand something?"

Xiao Chen nodded: "Well... I seem to think something is wrong, but... well, I haven't figured it out yet."

"Let's do this. I'll show it to you and you'll understand." Zhou Yan said, and then motioned for Xiao Chen to stand at the mark of the axe.

"Now, you are Xiaoli."

"Oh." Xiao Chen nodded blankly: "What about you?"

"Of course I am the murderer." Zhou Yan said: "Now, you are taking the elevator, descending from the sixth floor to the first floor. On the way, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan walked out of the elevator while carrying an ax.

"Then, the elevator door slowly opened, and you saw a man rushing in with an axe." After saying that, Zhou Yan walked into the elevator, then turned sideways and made a gesture of holding a baseball.

With a "stick" posture, he swung the ax again and struck Xiao Chen's neck.

Of course, Zhou Yan didn't really chop, he just made such an action.

Xiao Chen swallowed: "Well... isn't this quite normal? What's wrong?"

"Time!" Zhou Yan explained again: "I want to swing an axe, but I can't just get into the elevator and swing it. I have to walk to this place first, then turn sideways, and then chop off my head.

Otherwise, the traces would not be so clear and powerful, and this period of time should be at least two seconds.

You are not blind. You will definitely hide when you see me coming in! You can't just stand still and wait for me to take a good posture.

Since you were hiding, how could my ax hit you so easily, and it hit you right at the neck, killing you with one blow!"

After saying this, Xiao Chen also fell into deep thought.

Yes, the dead can't just stand there quietly. This is indeed a bit strange.

Zhou Yan continued: "Furthermore, in addition to the fact that the deceased would dodge, I am also a little suspicious of the murderer's posture of swinging the axe, because if I were the murderer and I rushed into the elevator, I would definitely not use [sideways slash]

】In this way, I will directly raise the ax and use the "vertical slashing" posture, because in this way, I can directly chop Xiaoli to death without any preparation time as soon as I enter the door."

"Well..." Xiao Chen also nodded. He had learned in the police academy before that when ordinary people use heavier weapons, such as axes, heavy sticks, machetes, etc.

Yes, there is a very high chance that he will use the "chopping" posture from top to bottom.

Because the murder weapon is very heavy, if it is swung sideways, it will be difficult to use strength and it will not be able to cut accurately.

Gravity can make the murderer cut harder and easier.

As a result, this clear ax mark is indeed a bit strange.

"So...this trace, what does it mean?" Xiao Chen's mind was a little confused.

"I think there are two possibilities.

Type 1: The crime scene is indeed in this elevator room.

But the murderer had a way of keeping the deceased standing still, waiting for him to chop off her head with an axe."

"Ah?" Xiao Chen was a little confused when he heard this: "Let the deceased not move? How is it possible? Is it tied up? But when we were on the first floor, there were no ropes or other binding things in the elevator?"

"Indeed, it is difficult to make the deceased immobile, but it is not completely impossible. For example, the deceased cannot see the murderer holding the murder weapon..."

"Can't you see the murderer holding the murder weapon?"

"Yes, for example, the murderer packaged the ax into something else. For example... um... the murderer put the ax between his legs, and then wrapped a bath towel around his waist.

She looked like she had just taken a shower. Since the bath towel was wrapped around her, it was barrel-shaped and should be more than half a meter long.

In addition, Xiaoli is a woman, and if the murderer is a man, she will definitely not stare at the other person's bath towel.

This would allow the murderer to approach the elevator openly, and Xiaoli would not run away in panic. She would only feel a little embarrassed.

And just after the murderer entered the elevator, he could suddenly lift up his bath towel.

At this time, Xiaoli would probably cover her eyes subconsciously, and then, taking advantage of this moment, the murderer would raise the knife and drop it..."

Listening to Zhou Yan's thoughts, Xiao Chen was shocked: "Is this even possible? But... after thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really possible."

"Then...what about the second kind?" Xiao Chen asked timidly.

"The second type is simpler. It is very likely that the ax mark was cut in advance."

"ah?"

"It means that this ax mark existed before 7 o'clock this morning. It might have been cut early this morning, last night, or even earlier.

And this is done to give us the illusion that [the murderer rushed in from the fourth floor and chopped off the head of the deceased].

The real cause of death of the deceased was probably due to some mechanism or something.

Just as the elevator was descending, his head was cut off alive because of something like a wire."

Xiao Chen swallowed: "Is there really such a mechanism?"

Zhou Yan shrugged: "I don't know yet, I'm just guessing."

"Okay... okay." Xiao Chen responded: "Then what should we do next?"

"We've almost seen the scene. The only thing left is to interrogate the suspect." Zhou Yan said: "But... if you want to question Zhang San, you have to go back to the police station. Running back and forth like this is a bit of a waste of time.

."

"It's okay, it's okay, we have a lot of suspects, and they are here too." Xiao Chen said quickly.

"Ah?" Zhou Yan was stunned: "Is there a suspect here too?"

"Yes, there are quite a few. The couple, the two drunkards, and the bar staff were all detained by us. However, because Zhang San is the most suspected and has a criminal record, we are afraid that he will run away.

, that’s why I brought him to the bureau first.”

"Um...okay?" Zhou Yan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Because we don’t know who the suspect is, we treat everyone as a suspect. This approach is really simple and crude.

"Where is the suspect?"

"follow me......"

With that said, Xiao Chen took Zhou Yan to the innermost room on the first floor of the hotel.

Outside the door of this room, there were actually several police officers guarding the door.

Xiao Chen opened the door...

"Fuck your grandma! I didn't kill anyone!"
