Chapter 725: Secret Room Cracking
"Oh? What's wrong?"
The four asked in confusion.
Zhong Mo pointed to the place where the body was placed, then pointed to the window, and then pointed to the wall below, explaining: "According to my previous inference, the murderer killed Mr. Xie outside, dismembered the body, and then transported the body parts here with ropes, right?"
"Yes, you did say that just now!"
The four nodded.
Zhong Mo said with a face full of sarcasm: "Let's not talk about the height difference between the wall and here, which is four or five meters. Even if it is parallel, how could he place the body parts neatly and without any error, and hit the wall?"
"This..."
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed.
Xie Guang's body was divided into six pieces. Although they were not placed very neatly, it would be terrifying if it was dropped from a long distance. Almost every part of the body was placed where it should be, and the body was placed very close to the wall, only about 20 centimeters away, but the wall was clean and there was no sign of being smashed!
This is too strange!
You know, the straight-line distance from the wall to here is about 30 meters. How could there be no error?
"This, this, could it be..."
Lin Meng'e suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized.
"That's right, the bloodstains on the runway, the marks on the wall, and the shoe prints outside the wall, etc., were all forged by the murderer to lead us in the wrong direction!"
Zhong Mo nodded vigorously, "But he calculated everything, but he didn't expect the whole plan to be too perfect, but revealed a flaw!"
"Then this is indeed a secret room, how did the murderer get the body in?"
Chen Hongcai's face became very ugly.
Originally thought that the mystery of the secret room had been solved, who knew that the method just now was actually a trap!
Zhong Mo walked to the door and studied it carefully, only to find that there was a bolt inside the door.
When the police broke into the room, they kicked the door to the ground before breaking in.
But at this moment, Zhong Mo suddenly smelled a very pungent smell!
Formaldehyde!
His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he laughed: "So this is how the secret room is made. Isn't it too simple?"
"Oh? Brother Zhong Mo, you cracked the secret room?"
Lin Meng'e was completely numb.
Although she had seen Zhong Mo's horrible methods of solving cases, every time she was amazed!
For example, the method of using ropes to transport body parts just now, although it was later proved to be a trap designed by the murderer, if it were her, she would never think of such a complicated method of killing!
Who knew that in just a few minutes, Zhong Mo cracked the method of killing in the secret room again!
This is simply inhuman!
"How did he do it?"
Chen Hongcai asked impatiently.
Zhong Mo pointed at the door lying on the ground and laughed: "Actually, when I saw this door just now, I felt very strange, as if something was wrong, but when I smelled a pungent smell, I understood everything!"
"Oh? Pungent smell?"
Lin Meng'e blinked, then sniffed a few times and nodded, "Well, if you didn't say it, I really didn't notice it. There is indeed a pungent smell on this door, which seems to be formaldehyde. Houses that have just been renovated have this smell!"
"But this house has obviously just been painted, and it seems that it is not too much to have the smell of formaldehyde!"
Chen Hongcai frowned and shook his head gently.
"It's not unusual for this house to smell of formaldehyde, but it's very wrong for this door to smell of formaldehyde!"
Zhong Mo bent down, pulled up the door, pointed at the edge, and said word by word, "When you police catch murderers, you often break into the house, right? Are all the doors down every time?"
"This..."
The four of them were stunned at first, and then they suddenly realized, "This door has been tampered with!"
"That's right!"
Zhong Mo nodded approvingly, "If it is an old door of more than ten or twenty years old, the hinges will be rusty. The whole door will fall down when it is violently kicked or hit. Otherwise, it can only be kicked open, right? And this door looks new, how could it fall to the ground? "
"There is only one explanation!"
"This door is different from a normal door. It is glued around, and the plug is just a trick. The purpose is to let the police find that this room is a secret room, so as to shift the direction of investigation to the window, and conclude that the murderer is an outsider!"
When everyone heard Zhong Mo's analysis, they were secretly amazed!
If it weren't for Zhong Mo this time, who would have thought that the murderer would have such a complicated layout?
It is simply unheard of and unseen!
"Brother Zhong Mo, the pungent smell you just mentioned must be the smell of those super glues, right?"
Lin Meng'e nodded and asked, "Generally, those super glues contain a lot of formaldehyde, which evaporates in a very short time!"
"Yes, it was because of the pungent smell that I thought that this door was covered with super glue. It looks like a perfect secret room, but the door was put up afterwards!"
Zhong Mo replied softly.
"Pah pah pah!"
Chen Hongcai, Gu Chen and Gao Bo all clapped their hands and exclaimed, "This is simply a case of the devil being one foot taller and the way being ten feet taller. No matter how cunning the murderer is, he can't escape the eyes of you, the great detective Shermes!"
"I just have a keen sense of smell and just happened to smell that the smell of this door is wrong!"
Zhong Mo answered very modestly.
"Ding ding ding!"
At this moment, the mobile phones of Chen Hongcai, Gu Chen and Gao Bo rang at the same time, and someone obviously sent a message.
The three of them hurriedly took out their mobile phones, looked at them for a few times, and said with ecstasy: "Xiao Mo, don't you want photos of Mr. Xie? We have collected them all!"
The three of them have a wide network of contacts in Hong Kong, and they have people from all walks of life. It is really easy to find a few photos of Xie Guang without any effort!
So they sent all the photos they collected to Zhong Mo's mobile phone.
Zhong Mo took out his mobile phone and checked the photos they sent.
It's true that they found quite a lot of photos, more than 20 in total, with a few duplicates and 18 more. However, the most recent one was taken a year ago when a paparazzi accidentally took a photo of Xie Guang going out for a walk. The rest were taken two or three years ago.
"Sure enough!"
Zhong Mo studied the photos carefully and couldn't help laughing.
