Chapter 493 The Strange Big Hole
With such doubts, Gao Yuan approached the table.

It seems that it should be a handmade wooden table. There is no handmade decoration on it, and the appearance is very simple.

But the table legs can be folded, which can be regarded as a very thoughtful design in terms of handmade products.

Gao Yuan put on the gloves handed by Sato Miwako, touched the edge of the table a little, and immediately found that the table made a slight sound, and then the table tilted up.

In this regard, Gao Yuan took a closer look and found that one table leg was crooked, and compared with the other three table legs, it was slightly shorter——

"It seems that this is newly made by the deceased, and it should be still being adjusted."

Gao Yuan judged and said:

"Speaking of which, what was the cause of death of the deceased?"

Looking at the marks on the table, Gao Yuan asked Miwako Sato.

In this regard, Miwako Sato took out a photo of the scene from her pocket, handed it to Gao Yuan, and said:

"The fatal wound of the deceased was on the head, and there were marks of fighting on his face and clothes."

Listening to Miwako Sato's narration, Gao Yuan took the photo and found that it should be the photo of the deceased taken by the police as soon as they arrived at the scene, so he couldn't help observing carefully——

I saw in the photo a man about 50 years old, with his eyes wide open, lying on his back on the table.And on his waist, there is a work pocket for storing rulers and pencils.

His lip was bruised and a button was missing from his shirt.

Just looking at the photos, it seems that the other party's fatal wound is on the head - after all, a screwdriver stuck in the head is too conspicuous.

"The murder weapon should have been a tool in the room."

Miwako Sato couldn't help adding:

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it may be that someone came to visit him when he was making the item, but because of something, there was a quarrel and a big fight. And that person stabbed him with a screwdriver at the scene when the two were wrestling. he."

"Looking at it this way, it seems to be a sudden murder."

Gao Yuan nodded, then asked:
"Are there any fingerprints left at the scene?"

"The murder weapon and the fingerprints around the table have been wiped off, and the murderer should have put on gloves before using the chainsaw."

As Miwako Sato said, she turned her gaze to the shelf beside her——

Because it is a studio, there are many brand new gloves on that shelf.This is too easy for the murderer to leave no fingerprints afterwards.

And Miwako Sato had no intention of hiding anything, and happily shared other information that the police had:
"As for the hole in the wall, judging from the cut surface and the way the wood chips are scattered, it should be sawed from the inside of another house. And the electric saw used to saw the hole was also placed on the shelf. Yesterday morning at At one o'clock, people in this family heard the sound of a chainsaw, and the murderer should have used the chainsaw to open the hole at that time. The presumed time of death was before eleven o'clock in the morning, so the murderer should use the chainsaw to kill After that."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded, and couldn't help but analyze:
"Because the deceased himself will use the chainsaw here, even if the family members hear the sound of the chainsaw, they will not have any doubts. In addition, the wall with the hole is facing away from the direction of the main house, so the family members Didn't find anything unusual, did you?"

"Is such that."

Miwako Sato nodded, affirming:
"If it wasn't for that Mr. Hermit who came to look for the deceased after that, I am afraid that the death of the deceased would not be discovered so quickly."

"What about the paint?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan's eyes suddenly turned to the paint scattered on the floor at the door, and he couldn't help asking.

"what?"

Miwako Sato was very puzzled by Gao Yuan's sudden question.

"When did the police arrive at the scene?"

Gao Yuan asked in detail.

"After receiving the report, we immediately dispatched the police... Probably, after twelve o'clock."

Miwako Sato replied.

"In this case, when the police came to the scene, what was the state of the paint?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help asking.

"The paint isn't dry yet."

Suddenly, Miwako Sato seemed to understand the meaning of Gao Yuan's question, so she couldn't help answering:

"The paint should have been accidentally knocked to the ground when the murderer had a dispute with the victim. We estimate that if the murderer wanted to leave the door after committing the crime, he would have to pass over the fresh paint, which would leave The footprints became irrefutable evidence. The windows were sealed and there was no way to pass through, so the murderer finally came up with this method, directly opening a hole in the wall and leaving the scene.”

After hearing this judgment, Gao Yuan couldn't help shaking his head:
"No, there are many ways to leave the scene without leaving footprints, such as directly laying a board on the paint, isn't it easier? And..."

Having said that, Gao Yuan bent down, picked up the jar and looked at it——

Because the paint on the inner wall of the jar is the same color as the paint on the floor, it can be judged that the paint on the floor is spilled from this jar——

"If the jar had fallen off the shelf by accident, it would have left some marks anyway. But this jar is intact..."

Gao Yuan couldn't help saying:
"The paint should be the murderer's disguise!"

Regarding the traces at the scene, Gao Yuan explained with certainty.

"Hey?"

Miwako Sato asked in surprise:

"But why did the murderer do this?"

"The murderer intentionally sprinkled paint on the ground, which means that he didn't intend to leave from the gate from the very beginning. But why did he deliberately block the exit of his own escape, and go to a lot of trouble to open a hole..."

Gao Yuan couldn't help thinking:

"In other words, the murderer had a reason to make a hole in the wall. In order to hide this reason, he sprinkled paint on the ground, making people think that he had to make a hole in the wall!"

With this in mind, Gao Yuan's gaze continued to turn to the big hole in the wall, and he couldn't help muttering:

"In other words, the biggest doubt lies in this hole..."

"But, besides leaving the room, is there any other reason?"

Miwako Sato didn't come out, so she couldn't help but say so.

"Even if you want to escape, the hole is too big."

Gao Yuan couldn't help thinking about it, and then seemed to be unable to think of any reason for the time being, so he couldn't help helping his forehead, and asked:

"What about the motive for the crime? Did the police find anything?"

"Still under investigation. But so far no suspicious clues have been found. Whether it is money or heterosexual relations, there is no entanglement."

Miwako Sato replied.

"Really……"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but keep observing the big hole in front of him——

I saw an outer wall a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, and a dense forest outside.

From this point of view, if he left this hole, the murderer could escape directly into the woods without being discovered by the people in the main house.

However, this still cannot explain why the hole is so large.

Open a big hole, why is it necessary...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but came outside the house, bent down to look at the scattered wood chips on the ground, from the visual inspection, it should be the complete amount that was sawn off the wall, and there were no suspicious traces found on it.

In this regard, Gao Yuan raised his head helplessly, and looked into the other room from the entrance of the cave again. Suddenly, Gao Yuan realized something, straightened up suddenly, and said with a light smile:

"Where are the family members of the deceased now?"
