The gangsters of Death Wing looked confused, Badman looked baffled, and Caldesia spoke out on behalf of everyone.
"Ah, what?" The girl in the top hat shook her head, "So how do you know it? And who is the murderer?"
Gongsun Ce was not in a hurry to reply. He took out his cell phone and took a look. Sure enough, his elder brother had sent the file.
Now Gongsun Ce had guessed part of the murderer's motive. He put away his phone quietly and turned to look at his friend sympathetically: "Don't be like this, Caldesia, otherwise I will have to give up the title I prepared for Badman. It’s given to you as a gift.”
Caldesia responded with a blast of fireball, and the gray-haired boy ducked his head to avoid it. He raised his hand and said, "Okay! In order to help Miss Caldesia, who is less understanding, let us once again review the ins and outs of the entire incident."
"At 7:30, a group of people from Kova came out of the hotel and met Badman Ives. Half an hour later, a group of people wandered the commercial streets. After 8:10, they met the eldest lady. The battle continued After about ten minutes, the frightened Kova ran away, and the eldest lady started chasing him. It was almost half past eight."
"At about 8:50, I met the eldest lady at the scene of the eucalyptus. I witnessed the fragmented bodies of the three missing persons and picked up Kova's earrings. The emotions involved in the earrings were worry, shock and disbelief. From From this not very generous timetable, we can understand two facts." Gongsun Ce said, "Firstly, the shock that Kova received before his death came from witnessing the scene of the murder; secondly, the eldest lady is innocent. .”
"You have maggots in your head?" Badman cursed, "Isn't this exactly what I said?!"
"I guess not, because you didn't explain a very important emotion: worry."
Gongsun Ce took a few steps to the side and started trotting on the spot.
"I think everyone has the experience of being hunted? I'm not the only one who has been hunted, right?" Gongsun Ce said as he ran, "Escape is a technical job. Huang Qi, would you mind sharing with everyone how you did it?" Escape?"
Huang Qi cursed secretly and said reluctantly: "...Look in one direction and run with all your might and never look back."
Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers: "Never look back! This is very important. There are many times when you can't run because you look back too much, which slows you down in vain. But newcomers don't think so. There are other things that newcomers have when they run for their lives. A set of ideas.”
Gongsun Ce ran up two steps, and then looked back in an exaggerated manner.
Caldesia felt very warm when she saw this scene. She often saw this scene when fighting. The girl immediately understood what her friend meant: "They always look back!"
"You're right, they are too afraid of getting hurt. So they always run for a while and then look back to see what's going on. This is like a gopher for Kova, who can escape from the ground. He will poke his head out of the ground from time to time. But it's a pity. What's more, this actually provides convenience for the tracker, and the eldest lady followed this clue, right?"
Qin Qianbai nodded vigorously.
Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "Now, do you understand why I said the eldest lady is innocent?"
Caldesia suddenly realized: "The unlucky guy can see Qin Qianbai every time he looks back, so he is always worried. He knows that he hasn't run away yet!"
"Exactly! Kova's worries continued until his death. I think everyone can understand that the eldest lady cannot track an earth-evader while flying over walls and walls, and at the same time split up to kill three of your companions. Her super power It’s not a doppelganger!”
Speaking of which, are there really doppelgangers with superpowers in this city? It would be really troublesome to use this power on murderers.
Huang Qi couldn't help but shook his head and said, "That makes sense... Then who is the real murderer?"
"There is a *&%￥ reason!" Badman slapped Huang Mao on the back of the head, "It's all his own words, there is no evidence! The clown just said this to help this woman get away!"
"It's too early to tell. Haven't I already produced the evidence to identify the real murderer?" Gongsun Ce shook his finger, "Come on, let's summarize the real murderer's abilities! This murderer is a ruthless character. He was extremely brave and powerful, able to kill three masters in a short period of time, and quickly killed Kova who crashed into the scene; he also had some planning, and was able to bring all three of them into the alley before taking action. ; Finally, he has very agile mobility and can leave the scene without anyone noticing!
Needless to say, Huang Qi's suspicion was cleared. He did not meet these requirements. No one in the eight-person team operating that day had this ability! And when you hear these descriptions, who do you think of? "
Everyone looked at Gongsun Ce with strange eyes.
"Of course I am also suspicious, but there is more than one person who meets the requirements. And the most important thing is that he must have witnessed the scene with his own eyes - including what everyone looked like after they died! This is no problem, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Badman couldn't bear it.
"I've finished! Haven't you realized this obvious fact?" Gongsun Ce said in surprise, "Excuse me, please pass me that earring... Thank you... I noticed that I just handed this thing over Huang Qi didn't recognize it when he saw it. Didn't you just buy this thing last night?"
Huang Qi said nonchalantly: "Because..."
"Don't worry, I'll answer it for you." Gongsun Ce casually swung his earrings, "Because... this poor little thing... has changed his appearance slightly."
Gongsun Ce pinched the crescent-shaped earrings. The whole thing was severely distorted, as if it had been hit by something.
"It's very broken, isn't it?" Gongsun Ce said, "I heard a description of this earring a few minutes ago. This description made me suspicious, because I couldn't compare it with the thing in my hand. Number one. Do you still remember how Huang Qi described it?"
—That night Kova bought a new pair of earrings. That thing has a special shape, a big size, and is particularly conspicuous.
"This contradiction is really difficult to ignore. The shape of the little thing I picked up is not very special, and it is not big. Will it be conspicuous? At this time, I thought of another possibility. Maybe it is too bad. …”
Gongsun Ce pinched the shorter part of the "Crescent Moon" and twisted it outward. This time, the short arc turned 180° from left to right, flipped to the other side of the earring, and turned into a crown-like shape.
"Ah! That's right!" Huang Qi exclaimed.
"Of course, this is the correct shape of the earring. We can imagine the scene at that time. Poor Kova was knocked to the ground with a huge force, and the earring was directly pressed by his head and folded in half, making it what it is now."
"You're stalling for time." Badman said coldly, "This thing is meaningless now."
"I think it makes a lot of sense and is arguably the crux of the matter."
Gongsun Ce stood in the center of everyone's field of vision like a detective with his hands behind his back. He smiled even brighter.
"Please pay attention, everyone! This earring was smashed and folded in half. It changed its appearance. Even the eldest lady who chased Kowa yesterday could not recognize it. Even Huang Qi, who acted with Kowa yesterday, could not see it immediately. Understood. Then here comes the question..."
Gongsun Ce stopped smiling. He looked at the man in front of him coldly and spoke word by word.
"Why did Badman Ives recognize this earring among my pile of clutter at a glance?"
No one spoke for a while, and most of the gangsters didn't turn their heads. Only a few old members' eyes changed.
Badman twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes looking like he was looking at a mental illness. He shouted impatiently: Are you out of your fucking mind? I just saw them last night——"
"This is not a good excuse. Let's check the timeline." Gongsun Ce raised his voice, "I just bought these earrings last night. And if my prediction is correct, this thing was between 7:30 and 8:30. Between 10 and 10 years old, I bought it after you parted with their group!"
"How do you know?" Huang Qi asked with eyes wide open.
"The eight of you have spent more than half an hour on the commercial street. Are you just shopping if you don't buy something? The six of you are all social men, not female high school students who like to hang out." Gongsun Ce said methodically Said, "More importantly, if the earrings were purchased before 7:30, Badman would describe it differently. Remember what he said? 'That crescent-shaped thing'!"
——In your right hand, that crescent-shaped thing!
"This description is so specific that it's almost self-defeating. If he had seen this thing before, he might have said it differently, such as the broken thing or the tattered earring. But no matter what, he shouldn't He recognized it immediately, because even Huang Qi and the eldest lady didn’t recognize it! But Badman recognized it, why?”
Gongsun Ce threw away the important evidence and expressed his final conclusion.
"Because Badman Ives only saw this earring once, when he smashed Kovar's head with his own hands!"
"Now, let's take a look at the whole incident! Just when the eldest lady was confronting you and your group last night, Badman was also doing important work. He didn't tell his companions in the organization and killed him with his own hands. Three old team members who have been following Kuanshou since its inception!"
"He really picked a good opportunity. There was a power outage in the entire area last night and the surveillance cameras were naturally missing. Few people could notice his actions. The three old guys never dreamed that the deputy of the organization gathered them here. To take their lives.”
His tone was sharp and he spoke quickly, but his words seemed to have magic power, making the pictures he described materialize in everyone's mind.
"Everyone knows that he has this strength. The famous Predator is one of the strongest superpowers in the city! He used his favorite Aoki Possession to crush the hearts of his old friends in just a moment. The experienced Badman then tore the bodies into pieces, and finally used his giant hammer to smash the heads of the three men, ensuring that they had no chance of resurrection.
Last night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the clouds blocked the moonlight. In this convenient environment, he successfully completed the killing. But an accident also happened: a person with super powers who was good at using escape techniques accidentally entered the scene of the murder while escaping for his life, and witnessed it all with his own eyes. "
"Poor Kova was extremely shocked and couldn't believe it. He never imagined that the deputy he had just met more than an hour ago would kill an old senior in the organization here! Badman was so horrified when he was discovered that he immediately Choosing to kill and silence him. So the hammer fell, the earring was broken in half, and poor Kova died. When the eldest lady and I arrived, all we saw were miserable corpses on the ground!"
Badman's face turned red and veins popped up on his arms: "You are so stupid! Look with your dog eyes, I wasn't even there at that time! According to what you said, it was only a few seconds." What a mistake, where else can I hide?!"
Gongsun Ce raised his thumb and pointed to the land below.
"Don't forget your powers, Badman the Predator. When you kill Kovar, you take away his ability to escape from the ground!
With the experience you have accumulated over the years, you were able to detect the fact that he was being hunted on the spot. If the person chasing Kova was an ability user that you could not kill instantly, then you would really be unable to cover up this bloody incident! So you immediately grabbed his body and sneaked into the ground, running into the distance without looking back. The earring fell to the ground at this moment. "
"You waited nervously for a long time, and used various means to confirm that the visitor had left, and then hurried back to clean up the scene. You cleaned the eucalyptus scene cleanly, but found that you had missed an earring. You know the corpse's head You are scheming, and you know that there is a flaw in this plan, and it is only a matter of time before the case is exposed. You are anxious to find a scapegoat for yourself, otherwise the murder will be traced to your brother.
Qin Qianbai has become the best person in your eyes. A newly arrived superpower is on the verge of going berserk. He has extraordinary strength and is impulsive and irritable. It is perfect to be a violent murderer... However, we have left the blame behind. Huang Qi's head is also very suitable for you. So not only did you not speak up for Huang Qi, but you took the lead in doubting your own subordinates! "
Gongsun Ce sneered and said: "I originally wanted to see if any of you present had a guilty conscience, but it was you who took the lead who showed the flaw. I pretended not to notice, deliberately not mentioning that the broken earring was inconsistent with the description, and then used this evidence Once the object is tested, the real culprit will naturally reveal his flaws.
You do everything possible to mess around just to put the blame on others and clear yourself of suspicion. You were very happy when you saw me taking out the earrings, thinking that this would be excellent evidence to frame the eldest lady. But unexpectedly, a careful design made the truth come to light..."
Gongsun Ce raised his hand and pointed at the deputy of Death Wing, and said his final conclusion.
"Badman Ives, your hands are stained with the blood of four companions. You are the real murderer of this crime!"
·
There are countless supernatural abilities in this world, and no matter how bizarre the killing method is, it is possible to devise it. At first glance, the evidence in this case is completely a prop that can be forged, but the flaws and logical contradictions of the parties cannot be concealed, and it is heavier evidence than any other evidence.
As Gongsun Ce said, the reaction to the earring alone is enough to identify the real culprit. Qin Qianbai looked at the strange man with anger and curiosity. Why did he kill his companions? When the truth is revealed now, what will the man say?
"Hahaha..."
At this time, the girl's honed martial arts brought about an almost intuitive alert. A cold feeling spread across the ends of his limbs, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
The man was laughing, the same rude laugh he always did. But the ferocious look under the sunglasses cannot be faked. What he showed was undoubtedly murderous intent, aimed at Gongsun Ce, at her, and at everyone present!
She almost thought that Badman was about to completely break his skin and take action, so she hurriedly stood in front of the gray-haired boy. But then Badman's murderous intention disappeared, as if everything was her illusion.
Install the latest version. 】
The big man returned to his usual self, a reckless man without any scheming. He laughed loudly in front of everyone: "Hahahaha! You have seen too many detectives, clown! With just such a thing? With just a broken earring, how dare you say that I killed my brother with my own hands?"
"Go away, you gray-haired boy!" Badman roared filial piety, "This is my organization, my subordinates! It was the territory that Boss John and I built from scratch, using fists and guns!"
"Ah Huang, I was surprised just now. I thought it was impossible for this bastard to accuse you unjustly..." He turned back to face his subordinates, as if he had heard a ridiculous joke, and said in a raised voice: "What about you? ?Do you think I will kill my own people?"
"Impossible!" Huang Qi was the first to stand up in support, "No matter how you think about it, it's all nonsense!
"
"Absolutely impossible!" "What nonsense!" "Gongsun Ce, it was you who did it!
"It must still be that woman!"
"
For a while, everyone was shouting and quarreling, but no one believed that Badman was responsible. Qin Qianbai said angrily: "How can you be so ignorant of right and wrong!"
"You have to understand, Qin Qianbai. Wings of Death is a gangster organization, and for gangsters, loyalty and kindness are greater than anything else." Caldesia said irritably, "I think Gongsun Ce is right... but even I don't I believe that Badman can do this. Morality is the foundation of their existence. It is easy to talk about anything, but it will be difficult to get away with it. Let me give you an inappropriate example. This is like your family. Someone was... stabbed, would you believe it was done by a relative of yours?"
Qin Qianbai nodded without hesitation: "I believe it."
"why?!"
As he spoke, Badman had transformed into the burly form with a green face and fangs. He shouted angrily: "Look...even the red lion doesn't believe you! Clown, you have gone too far today. You must fight for your Pay the price for all your arrogance!
"
Gongsun Ce didn't look flustered at all, as if he had expected it. He took out the white playing cards from the beginning and shuffled them slowly in his hands.
"How about we go back to the starting point and play a game? The rules are very simple. Guess what will happen next..."
"Next, your head will be blown off by me!
"
"And I guess... someone doesn't want to really start fighting, and is more eager to clear his suspicions in front of his subordinates, so he will activate a backup plan to frame the incident to the Mutual Aid Association or the Light Core." Gongsun Ce dragged on. Changyin said, "In half a minute at the latest, a member of the Wings of Death will run over in a panic, holding a photo or mobile phone in his hand. He will anxiously tell everyone that Kova's body has been found. As for the discovery The location of the body should be at the boundary between the Fierce Wing District and the Thorn District, such as around the bridge or the Witch Ring Road."
This time, Badman's expression really changed.
Just as he was about to say something, a call came from not far away.
"Second brother! Second brother!
"
It was a gangster wearing black clothes and earrings, holding a photo in his hand and running anxiously: "It's Kova! Kova's body has been found!
"
The intelligence agent of the Wings of Death came here, but saw everyone's expressions were strange. He quickly lowered his voice and whispered: "Just, in an empty room on Wuhuan Road..."
No one spoke, everyone stood there under the scorching sun. The gangsters' faces were covered with sweat and their mouths made hoarse sounds.
Gongsun Ce was playing poker in his hands. He pulled the cards with a skillful technique, and the white cards clicked, and he pulled them up and closed them like bullets, as easily as a juggler in a tall hat and long coat performing magic on the stage.
"To be honest, Badman. I think this is too pretentious, and I don't want to play it anymore. But now that the matter has come to this, I still have to say this sentence that everyone is tired of hearing..."
Gongsun Ce popped out a poker card and put away all the other cards. He slowly turned the playing cards between his fingers so that the front of the card faced everyone.
The card showed an ostentatiously dressed man in fancy clothes, a funny hat, heavy makeup, and a smile.
Gongsun Ce held up the sign and said:
"Now, who is the Joker?"
