Animal Detective

Chapter 95 Seven Blades
Sun Zhao was dumbfounded.

Chen Chao jumped up and down, shouting, "What...what car was it again?"

The words were already on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't remember them.

Ding Yuwei immediately exclaimed, "Murder on the Orient Express!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Chen Chao nodded vigorously. If what Shen Xin said was true, and Sun Kai did not exist and was fabricated by five employees of Liu Laibin's company, then this was almost exactly the same as the murder case on the Orient Express.

He had seen the movie and knew the plot.

One by one, the people present realized what was happening.

Shen Xin nodded.

This novel was the inspiration for Shen Xin.

Otherwise, there's simply no way to explain this.

"Captain Sun, Captain Chen, I have another bold guess. Could Guo Chunping also be involved? Otherwise, there's no way to explain his suicide."

Shen Xin's mind seemed to suddenly clear.

If Sun Kai doesn't exist, then the previous speculation that Sun Kai bribed him to modify the surveillance footage is completely unfounded.

But he actively followed him, and after being investigated, he immediately chose to commit suicide.

His motives and his actions make no sense at all.

There is only one possibility: he was also involved in this matter, and he chose to commit suicide to cover up the actions of others.

With his death, the investigation can't continue, and Sun Kai will once again become the sole murderer, just like before, leaving Li Weiqin and the other four safe.

"Moreover, Guo Chunping likes to read novels, and I think this technique may have been his idea."

If you hadn't read the novel, you might not have been able to come up with this method of murder.

Chen Chao pointed at Shen Xin and nodded repeatedly.

Just as Shen Xin speculated, everything makes logical sense.

"And what about the motive?" Sun Zhao asked in return.

There needs to be a motive for murder.

Not to mention this kind of premeditated murder by six people.

Moreover, according to the information, Li Weiqin joined Liu Laibin's company in 11 and stayed for more than two years.

What kind of motive could make someone hide something for so long?

Then, he suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Shen Xin, what's with the parrot calling me 'idiot'?"

Shen Xin's bizarre speculation almost made him forget to ask why Shen Xin had such an idea.

After all, Sun Kai is fictional, and it's just Shen Xin's speculation.

Shen Xin racked his brains and immediately came up with an excuse.

The "idiot" thing is easy to explain; Tingting can testify to that.

"The key is Sun Kai."

Shen Xin pointed at the actor and said, "Bruce obviously remembered this scene. He recognized Liu Laibin, but when I asked him if Sun Kai was there at the time, his answer was very clear: no."

As he spoke, Shen Xin came over to "Liu Laibin" and asked Bru from a distance if he was still there when he was being stupid.

"In the!"

Blue jumped back and forth on the shelf, yelling, "Idiots are here, all the idiots are here."

Sun Zhao took a deep breath.

If that's the case, then Shen Xin's speculation is reasonable.

“It seems we need to reinvestigate these five people,” Sun Zhao said, his brow furrowed.

The way the case has turned out has completely exceeded his expectations.

The key point is that there are a total of six murderers.

He had never handled a case like this before.

"Xiao Shen, well done."

Sun Zhao gave Shen Xin a thumbs up. Using a parrot, they actually found a breakthrough in this case; it was simply amazing.

At this moment, Ding Yuwei suddenly interjected, "Shen Xin, I have a question."

When everyone looked at her, Ding Yuwei said, "If this case is really a copy of a novel, then in the novel everyone is a murderer and one person stabbed Ratchett, who is the victim. In our case, including Guo Chunping, there are only six people."

"Liu Laibin was stabbed seven times, one more time."

Shen Xin was taken aback.

It really is.

Chen Chao gasped: "Could it be that there's another murderer?"

He felt it was a bit of an exaggeration.

Zhao Tianxing said, "Could it be that someone stabbed Liu Laibin an extra time because they hated him so much? Or maybe they misremembered when they stabbed him, because I remember the autopsy report showed that Liu Laibin had seven stab wounds. Not only was the weapon the same, but the dominant hand was also the same. And by looking at the depth of the wounds, it's almost certain that it was the same person who stabbed him."

"Among the five people, there are three women, like the cleaner Sun Min, who is quite old. So could it be that one person was doing the work and didn't notice and stabbed someone else?"

Zhao Tianxing's speculation reminded Shen Xin of a problem.

If it really was Li Weiqin and four others involved.

So when it came to the final showdown, did they actually make their move?

How should this case be judged in the end?
Shaking his head, Shen Xin didn't think about it anymore. That was a matter for the court, and it had nothing to do with him.

The important thing now is to find out exactly what happened to Li Weiqin and his group, and what their motives were for conspiring to kill Liu Laibin.

Sun Zhao thanked Shen Xin's parents one last time, then led everyone back to the branch office for another case analysis meeting.

Lü Youwei was present.

After hearing the report, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he finally said, "Are you sure you can do it?"

I haven't read the novel about Murder on the Orient Express.

But Lü Youwei felt that it was ultimately a novel, and many novelists had already consciously considered whether the murder methods in the novels were feasible in reality when they were writing them.

They will make modifications and adjustments to prevent imitation from occurring in reality.

Most importantly, the novel is set in a completely fictional environment, and many plot points are overly logical.

But in reality, logic doesn't apply at all, so trying to imitate a crime from a novel is extremely difficult.

Sun Zhao said, "Director Lü, to be honest, this is the first time I've handled a case like this. But given the current conditions, Guo Chunping is dead and the trail has completely gone cold. I think even without Xiao Shen's speculation, we should start with Li Weiqin and the others and investigate them again."

"And Liu Laibin, I feel there are serious questions about how he made his fortune."

Lu Youwei thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Alright, let's do it your way. We need to make a good start in solving unsolved cases."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

But as they reached the door, he said again, "Xiao Shen, do you have that novel? I can borrow it later. Goodness, imitating a novel to commit a crime, this is the first time I've ever encountered this."

After seeing Lü Youwei off, Sun Zhao immediately assigned tasks.

Shen Xin was also assigned a task.

Together with Zhao Tianxing and Ding Yuwei, they went to Linshui, Pingzhou to investigate Sun Min, a cleaner.

This was Shen Xin's first business trip for a case.

I don't care about myself, but I mainly care about Da Mei and the bully.

After considering the possibility of sending him home to be cared for by Shen Shuang, Shen Xin decisively gave up on the idea.

Shen Shuang can't even take care of herself.

My mom doesn't like small animals, and my dad is always busy with social engagements, so he doesn't have time to take care of the cats.

Sending a pet to a pet store for boarding or paying someone to come and feed it at home doesn't feel right.

Don't let yourself lose the goodwill you've worked so hard to build up.

After thinking it over, I contacted Zhang Qian and asked her to come to my home to feed the animals once a day.

Zhang Qian readily agreed, saying she was prepared to take the orange cat she had chosen with her.

Shen Xin thought that was perfect, Da Mei was already getting annoyed with these three little ones.

After making arrangements for Da Mei, the three of them set off early the next day for Linshui.
