"Correct."
"Why can't the coachman be the murderer?"
"Because the coachman is the murderer, it is impossible not to dispose of the car. Because the coachman has a direct connection with the deceased, the carriage will become evidence. Just tidying up the carriage is meaningless."
"Hmm... so according to your lord's deduction, the carriage may have nothing to do with the deceased?"
"Correct."
"why?"
"Because it was irrelevant, the carriage was left behind. It cannot be regarded as evidence at all, nor can it be regarded as an important clue. There is nothing to be found through the family crest." Su Bai spoke more and more fluently, and he gradually cleared up the logical chain: " Even if the owner is found, the identity of the deceased cannot be found.”
"But, since the carriage has nothing to do with the deceased, why is the coachman gone?" Lianhua continued to ask.
"That's right, if the deceased had nothing to do with the carriage, why did the coachman die?" Su Bai was also lost in thought.
He got on the carriage again, sat in the driving position of the four-wheeled carriage, and looked at the cherry blossom forest from a stable angle. From this angle, he happened to be able to see the scenery in the cherry blossom forest.
Refurbished soil, falling cherry blossoms.
Su Bai asked: "Lianhua, how long does the cherry blossom last?"
Lianhua thought for a while and replied: "About half a month."
"Then the corpse dismemberment case happened half a month ago. Once the blooming season comes, there will be so many cherry blossom viewers that there is no time to bury the corpse." Su Bai said firmly, "At the same time, there was a disappearance case at the same time... the driver must have seen it." What, so it was silenced."
Chapter 540 Wanhua Mirror Chapter [-] The reasoning abilities of people cannot be generalized
After some simple logical thinking and brainstorming, Su Bai deduced that the driver of the carriage should be a witness. He must have seen something or sensed something, so he disappeared.
This is the only reason why the coachman disappeared and the car was not disposed of.
What the murderer wanted to cover up was the identity of the corpse buried under the cherry blossom tree. After getting rid of the witnesses, the female corpse would not be found because of the carriage left behind. The two are not related. If it is true If you search according to the family crest, I am afraid that you will only get some irrelevant clues in the end.
It's just such an inference, and the clue of the carriage loses its meaning.
Because there is a high probability that the coachman is gone, the person is gone, or the world has evaporated, or he has been silenced, no matter what it is, it is difficult to learn the truth from him, and what he knows may only be that the body is buried That's all.
This is still of little help in finding out the true identity of the female corpse.
The only harvest is time. At present, the cherry blossoms have not withered, but they have entered the late stage. Most of the cherry blossom trees bloom for two weeks. Therefore, the corpse has been buried for more than ten days, and the carriage has been parked for more than ten days. Time, through this period of time to inquire, it may be possible to find some wonderful missing persons, and then check their identities one by one.
This requires the samurai of the enforcement office to conduct inquiries and investigations, and also needs to inquire about the neighbors, which is a manual task.
On the way back, Su Bai didn't want to understand anything.
"Why does the body have to be buried under the cherry tree?"
"Isn't it normal to be buried under a tree?" Lianhua asked strangely.
"It's not that the act of burying the ground is strange, but the location of the burial." Su Bai said: "The flowering period of the cherry blossoms is approaching, and a large number of people will come here to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Naturally, a large number of people will pass by. The underground, although it will not be easily discovered, but if there is any accident, it will still be noticed, for example, what the director general has done now has made us aware of the problem of the cherry blossom tree."
He also thought of the matter of the vengeful spirit: "Moreover, the cherry blossom tree that absorbed the flesh and blood of the corpse had a certain mutation, and the vengeful spirit formed, which led to the longer flowering period of the cherry blossoms. Not only did this cherry tree not wither, but it bloomed even more. Exuberant, such a mutation will attract more attention, and it will also make other people notice this strange vision. If things go on like this, won’t it be a matter of time before it is exposed?”
"The problem has come back." He was puzzled and said: "If it is to dispose of the corpse, you can go to the deep mountains and wild forests, inaccessible places, why choose to go under the cherry tree?"
"Perhaps, the murderer didn't think of this layer at all?" Lianhua said.
"It is true that the other party may not be smart, but this place was not chosen randomly. I have this hunch." Su Bai said slowly, "Judging from the dissection of the body, the murderer was very cruel and decisive, but he did not have a head. Look, the murderer is also very meticulous and doesn't want her identity to be exposed; considering that the driver of the carriage has disappeared, the murderer is also a ruthless person with excellent psychological quality."
"Just imagine, such a murderer with a sound psychological defense line not only killed the killer, but also dismembered the corpse, and even dealt with the scene. With his IQ, he definitely knew how to prevent the corpse of the deceased from being exposed, but he still chose Sakura. The woods...the possibilities are many."
"For example?" Lianhua asked cooperatively.
"For example, the murderer was worried that he would get lost in the deep mountains and his physical fitness was not enough, so he only buried the body in this kind of place, which is a certain distance from the town, and no one would come here on weekdays." Su Bai tried to raise the possibility.
"It's impossible to bury the corpse under so many different trees if you don't have enough physical strength." Lianhua said, "This possibility is not very high."
"I know, so I'm also thinking about the possibility that the possibility is high enough." Su Bai sighed helplessly: "I'm already burning my brain cells at full speed, and I only hate that my mind is not very bright, not very smart, and lacks this ability. open mindedness.”
Lianhua pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "My lord, don't worry, you can think slowly."
"Don't slow down, procrastination will only procrastinate again and again, tomorrow after tomorrow, how much will tomorrow be?" Su Bai slapped his thigh, not wanting to be a dove, he suddenly thought of a possibility: "Emmm... will there be a future?" Maybe, what is the meaning of this cherry blossom grove to the dead?"
"significance?"
"Yes, in the detective novels I read before, someone mentioned that when the deceased and the murderer had entanglements, the way the deceased dealt with them would often reflect part of the murderer's psychological characteristics." Su Bai used a theory that he didn't know much about. Knowledge: "To dismember the dead body expresses a kind of hatred and disgust, but to bury her under the cherry blossom tree presents a special sense of solemnity and ritual... After all, the cherry blossom tree is very beautiful, but burying her body under the cherry tree It presents a contrast between beauty and cruelty, which is a kind of blasphemy."
Lianhua nodded, this analysis is not outrageous, the way the deceased was dealt with reflected part of the murderer's psychological characteristics.
"According to my lord's speculation, the reason why I chose the cherry blossom land for burial may be because of a psychopath?"
"It's possible, if it's for the purpose of blaspheming beauty, because psychopathy is completely justified." Su Bai let out a breath: "This kind of murderer obviously has a strong psychological quality, and it is very likely that he returned to this cherry blossom forest several times afterwards... Appreciating his masterpiece, while mocking in his heart that the truth under this beautiful scenery can only be understood by him."
Su Bai's psychological analysis of the deceased was as fierce as a tiger, even he himself thought it was very reasonable and seemed very convincing.
But this is of no use. This is not a psychological crime shooting scene. I really thought that I could solve the case by psychological profiling.
Not half a minute later, Su Bai asked the well-behaved Lianhua, "Have you thought of any possibility?"
Lianhua thought for a while and shook her head: "No."
"Not at all?" Su Bai made a gesture: "Think about it for a while, Watson!"
"Peanut?" Lianhua paused for a moment, and she said, "I think what your lord said is right. From an emotional point of view, the murderer's actions may be due to psychological reasons, but if you consider it from other aspects... I guessed randomly. For a moment, maybe there is some purpose, so the body was buried under the cherry blossom forest?"
"Purpose, intention?" Su Bai crossed his arms and said, "What is the purpose of burying the corpse? Isn't it just to prevent people from finding it? Isn't it just to hide the trace of the corpse? Instead, it is hidden under the cherry blossom forest and cannot be obtained. That’s why it seems contradictory.”
