Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 179 Killing Device

Su Miaoyi continued the examination.

They knocked all around.

It's made of wood.

There was a mat at the bottom, and it was covered in blood.

Su Miaoyi carefully inspected the mat, leaving no detail unchecked.

Then lift it up and take it out.

Just as he was about to call someone over to pick him up, Zhuang Yanzheng walked in from outside: "Team Leader Zhuang, pick him up."

Zhuang Yanzheng took the mat and placed it on the ground.

Su Miaoyi looked at the bloodstains at the bottom of the coffin and a small rectangular opening.

She bent down and looked at it for a while, then came down to look at the bottom of the coffin.

The coffin was placed on the ground. The bottom of the coffin was not thick; it was quite thin.

It's just a prop, after all.

The small opening at the bottom of the coffin must be where the blade passed through.

This also matches the location of the knife wound on Liu Nanmo's body.

The knife extends from the bottom.

Is the ground empty?

She tapped it, and it sounded somewhat hollow.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked inside the coffin, stepped inside, and inspected it.

Shining a light into the rectangular opening, he said, "There seems to be a knife inside."

“We need to move it aside and see what’s underneath,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng remained squatting inside without moving, and tapped the bottom of the wood again: "When I stepped in just now, something made a sound underneath."

"Is there a mechanism?" Su Miaoyi added after saying that, "Or are you too heavy and broke something?"

Zhuang Yanzheng looked up at her.

Su Miaoyi pursed her lips.

Zhuang Yanzheng came out from inside: "Move it."

Several people came over, lifted the coffin, and moved it aside.

Below the coffin was a wooden floor, and above it was also a rectangular opening.

They pried open the floorboards again.

The floorboards were lifted up, and there was indeed a device underneath.

The handle was firmly secured to the device; it was very sturdy.

"What kind of device is this?" Su Miaoyi observed, "It's so big?"

Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at the knife mounted on it: "It looks a lot like a Type 95 military knife."

“But it’s much longer than the Type 95 military knife,” Su Miaoyi said.

Only at this length can it pierce a person's heart after passing through two layers of wooden planks and a cushion.

Zhuang Yanzheng examined the device again: "It's remote-controlled."

"Remotely controlled murder?" Su Miaoyi thought for a moment. "This device must be very powerful."

“There was an opening at the bottom of the coffin beforehand, so this knife can be used to stab through that opening,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Then the props team is highly suspicious.” After Su Miaoyi finished speaking, she looked around and whispered, “I just saw some images. To be precise, I heard some sounds.”

Because the screen was completely black.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her.

"After Liu Nanmo lay down, he talked to the woman lying next to him, and then he suddenly felt a pain in his back," Su Miaoyi said. "He struggled to call for someone to get out. But as soon as he moved, the woman next to him screamed."

"The director and the others said they didn't hear Liu Nanmo's cries for help." Zhuang Yanzheng had just found out outside. "The director said they opened the coffin after filming this scene, following the shooting schedule."

"The woman lying inside with Liu Nanmo was named Xu Jinlan. She came out immediately as soon as the coffin was opened. But Liu Nanmo didn't move at all."

"Then the staff went up to check and found him dead inside." "Didn't you hear Xu Jinlan shouting?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“I heard it. The director said that it’s normal for this horror variety show to have screams, so he didn’t pay any attention to it,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“That means the coffin wasn’t very soundproof; it was just that Xu Jinlan’s screams drowned out Liu Nanmo’s cries for help,” Su Miaoyi said. “Liu Nanmo’s voice wasn’t very loud at the time. The knife hit his heart right there, and he didn’t have the strength to shout. He died very quickly.”

"Judging from this device, the knife must have retracted after the stab," Su Miaoyi said.

Drawing the sword only hastened the death.

After Su Miaoyi finished speaking, she suddenly paused for a moment and asked, "They weren't wearing microphones when they were recording a variety show."

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her: "I saw them wearing them just now outside."

“Liu Nanmo doesn’t have it,” Su Miaoyi said. “Does Xu Jinlan have it?”

Zhuang Yanzheng thought for a moment: "No. I'll ask again later."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

Zhuang Yanzheng then looked at the device in front of him: "Take the whole device back and let the technical department study it, and then find the remote control."

"Okay," Su Miaoyi replied.

Slowly taking the device out, there was still a layer of wooden board underneath. Su Miaoyi took the tools and easily pried the wooden board open.

Then suddenly a paper effigy popped out from inside.

Suddenly, Su Miaoyi was startled.

He reacted very quickly, standing up and backing away.

Lu Zhishen, who had just finished inspecting the device and was about to leave, was almost knocked down by the impact.

The impact caused him to stagger forward several steps, barely managing to avoid falling to the ground by grabbing onto the hanging red ribbon.

Su Miaoyi turned to look at him.

Lu Zhishen turned to look at her, patted his chest, and said, "I knew it, ghosts can't have that much strength."

Su Miaoyi: "."

Lu Zhishen rubbed his back, which he had almost strained, and went to the front to help.

Su Miaoyi also turned around and looked at the paper figure from before.

Zhuang Yanzheng took a remote control from the paper figure's hand.

The remote control was stuck to the paper figure's hand. After it was torn off, the buttons on the remote control still had the colors from the colored paper figure stuck to them.

This is a little weird.

Zhuang Yanzheng and Su Miaoyi exchanged a glance.

Zhuang Yanzheng tested the device with the remote control.

Su Miaoyi looked again at the pit where the paper figures were placed.

The space was very small, so the paper figures were folded when placed inside.

However, because of the resilience of the bamboo strips inside the paper figure, it bounced out when she lifted the wooden board, startling her.

Zhuang Yanzheng tried it, and it was indeed the remote control for that device.

It's quite powerful, with a lot of force, enough to pierce a person's body.

But how can you be sure that it will pierce the back of the heart exactly?

And how is the remote control operated when it's located in the floor under the coffin?
Su Miaoyi looked at the paper figure, picked it up and examined it carefully; it was very ordinary.

There is no organization or agency involved.

The underground space is also very small.

Who operated it?

“There are no fingerprints on the remote control,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi looked at the paper figure: "What era is this? Using fake paper figures to kill people? Who are you trying to scare?"

She was quickly proven wrong.

After checking the room thoroughly, Su Miaoyi planned to go to the courtyard to ask some more questions. Just as she came out of the room, she heard someone outside saying, "I told him to pray before turning on the machine, but he insisted that it wasn't necessary. Look, this has caused trouble. It must have attracted something unclean."

"This script is a bit eerie, too ominous, and the set design is sloppy. First, Liu Nanmo died; his role today is the young master of this family in the script. So, is Xu Jinlan next?"
