After the assistant director Wu Xuezhou announced the "death" of director Xie Kui, he said,"Director Xie is dead. I don't have much eloquence, so I won't make any opening remarks. Let's start the show directly.”
Originally, the crime team couldn't hold it in anymore and wanted to rush out to simulate the crime. However, after hearing the director's death, they didn't want to leave and wanted to stay and watch the show.
However, the show still had to continue. The champion would receive a 100 million yuan prize. They suppressed their gossipy hearts and discussed the director's death as they swarmed out of the hotel.
Chen Yi and Zhao Zimai were naturally among them.
No one noticed that the two of them looked at each other with a hint of slyness.
The ten crime solving teams rushed upstairs excitedly. Some of them didn't even take the elevator for the sake of speed. They wanted to find the " real murderer " as soon as possible and make a good start.
Soon, they arrived at the director's room and saw the scene of " death."
There were professional detectives in the case solving team, and some were semi-professional even if they were not detectives.
They didn't rush in and ruin the scene. Instead, they asked the person at the door,""Who was the first to discover the deceased? Can you tell us what happened?”
The logistics girl stood up and said," The show started, but the director didn't appear. The assistant director asked me to call the director. When I arrived, I rang the doorbell and shouted, but there was no response. I was afraid that the director would faint, so I called the front desk. After swiping the card, I found that it was locked from the inside. Later, the security came and forced the door open..."
After the ten crime solving teams heard this, they were all shocked.
This was the fourth floor of the hotel. It was basically impossible to climb up from the outside window. The only entrance was this door. If the door was locked from the inside, then wouldn't this be…
They immediately entered the room and checked carefully.
First, he checked the door bolt. This hotel used anti-theft buttons. Not only were they beautiful, but they were also very strong. Other than the damage caused by the security guards forcefully breaking in, there was no other damage. There was a misplacement between the door and the door frame, so he could not directly insert a knife or thin wire into it.
They contacted the manager and pulled up the corridor surveillance camera. On the screen, they could clearly see the scene of the logistics lady, the front desk lady, and the security guard coming to the door.
He found that they were not lying. The situation was indeed as they said. After the room card opened the door, the room was indeed locked from the inside. He could not break it open even if he tried hard. He had to use iron pliers to force the door open.
Indeed, after the door opened, the director was already hanging in midair. Throughout the entire process, the logistics lady, the front desk lady, and the security guard did not enter the room, nor did they do anything strange.
Then, they looked around the room. The layout of the hotel was very simple. Other than the door, there were only windows. However, this was the fourth floor. It was extremely difficult to enter through the window.
They carefully checked the windows to see if there were any signs of entry or exit. Some even went up to the roof to check if there were any signs of ropes tied around the edge of the roof.
"Look, those surveillance cameras seem to be able to capture the windows here.”A member of the crime squad noticed that the surveillance cameras at the nearby intersection and the surveillance cameras at the entrance of a shop might have captured the window here.
So, they went to investigate the surveillance cameras and found that one of them could really capture it. After checking the footage for nearly an hour or two, they found that no one had climbed in or out of the window.
"Murder in a secret room!"
Someone in the case solving team couldn't help but exclaim.
Although there was a rule in the rules that the crime team did not have to do it themselves, they could arrange for others to do it. In other words, it was also possible to let the director commit suicide.
However, if that was the case, the crime team would have to find a reasonable motive first. How could a director who was about to prepare the opening remarks of a variety show suddenly commit suicide?
This was too strange and illogical.
In comparison, they were more suspicious of homicide.
In other words, it was very likely to be the legendary secret chamber murder.
The host, Lin Hai, was also a little surprised." It's actually a murder in a secret room. It seems that this crime team is not only brave but also resourceful. Teacher Xia, you've been a detective for so many years, but you've rarely encountered a murder in a secret room, right?”
Xia Luo's face was also full of surprise. She nodded and said,"I've been a detective for so many years, and I've only encountered a few cases of murder in secret rooms. Some of them were quickly found to be not real secret rooms. There was only one real secret room. I didn't expect that this show would actually have a secret room murder. If the director really didn't commit suicide, then this case would be very serious.”
"What exactly is a secret room murder?" asked Liu Qinyi.”
" The so-called secret room murder is a type of 'impossible crime,'" explained the policewoman Zhou Shuyu." It's also the most representative type. It's a crime that is impossible to commit on the surface and logically.”
"For example, this room in front of us, the door is locked from the inside. There is no way to enter, so it forms a secret room. According to basic logic, it was impossible to complete the crime.”
Like Xia Luo, Zhou Shuyu was just casually explaining.
But now, they were all in high spirits.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were also shocked.
"I didn't expect that it would be the legendary secret chamber murder.”
"That's impossible, right? A variety show is so hardcore?”
"It's also possible that the director committed suicide. According to the rules of the show, the crime team did not have to do it themselves. In other words, they could arrange for the director to commit suicide.”
"There's another prerequisite behind this rule, and that is, the crime team must have a motive for arranging for someone else to do it. What reason does the director have to commit suicide?”
"If it was really a murder in a secret room, that would be awesome.”
