Chapter 119: Beam Reasoning
When we arrived at the grandmother's house, the community police were already waiting here.The community police contacted the grandmother's niece by phone and obtained the right to enter the house.After the community police helped to open the door, since Baker was a senior detective, who knows what kind of ghost case he was investigating, the community police didn't inquire or stay, and asked Baker to contact him if he needed help.

The granny's house is a traditional two-and-a-half-story house, with a half-story low attic for heat insulation and storage.

There are many large pieces of furniture in the house.They are all objects that are difficult to carry and handle, such as coffee tables, sofas, TVs, and reclining chairs, all wrapped tightly in plastic paper.Liang Xi said as he walked: "The reason why I suspect that Wendy may have made a mistake is because of the candles. All the windows are tight and the curtains are drawn tight. The child lights candles in the house, and this smell can't dissipate for a long time. People who may exist, we It’s called Keren, but Keren came once and smelled the candle, why did he come a second time? However, we must assume that what Wendy said is true.”

Liang Xidao: "I don't believe the thief. If the thief knows that the house is unoccupied, he will first check to see if there are any valuables. The thief is very technical through the pipes on the wall, and pry open the windows on the second floor to enter the house." This kind of window is not something that ordinary thieves can open from the outside without destroying it. A thief of this level is unlikely to make a low-level mistake and steal a house without valuables.”

"Naturally, the possibility of homeless people is also ruled out. I have a few guesses. The first guess is whether there are antiques or expensive furniture in the house." Liang Xi pulled off the plastic paper and then covered it again.Not only does it have little value, but it is also a post-money item.In big cities, the most distressing thing is not garbage sorting or construction waste, but the replacement of large pieces of furniture.The first way is to give it to the waste collectors for free, and then subsidize some money to let them help with the processing.The second way is to give money to those who give new furniture and let them take away the old furniture.

Liang Xi and Baker spent fifteen minutes checking all the furniture and items upstairs and downstairs to confirm that they were worthless.Liang Xi put forward the second hypothesis: "There is a dark room." From the thickness of the wall and the layout of the room, there is no dark room.The only possibility is the basement.The house has an obvious basement, so is there a dark basement?
Twenty minutes later, Baker and Liang Xi searched again to no avail.

Liang Xi said: "The third possibility is that the house is an observation post."

But it was quickly denied by the facts, because there were no valuable observation targets around.

Baker asked, "And then?"

"Start to reverse the doubts. The first doubt, as I said before, is that the two children were lighting candles in the room, and the villain didn't notice it? The child said he heard the sound of the window. The second doubt is that the grandmother's house has a front entrance and a backyard. The door has two entrances and exits, and I checked the two locks, which are very simple ordinary key locks." Liang Xi walked to the back door and said: "The door gap is very large, even those who do not have the ability to pick the lock can easily lock it with a hard card." Quickly open the lock. If you are more stupid, use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the guard ring, turn the inner screw, and you can directly remove the entire lock."

Baker didn't understand: "Where is the doubt?"

Liang Xi reminded: "The window."

Baker suddenly said: "Since the door lock is so simple, and there are two front and back doors, it is still midnight, and there is no need for the villain to climb the window. It is related to the smell of candles, that is to say, when the villain is in the house, the two children go into the house. Later, the bad guys had something to do, or they didn’t know how long the two children would stay, so they left through the window.”

Liang Xi said: "Yes, there is another evidence to prove this point. The first time the two children heard the sound of the window, they ran away. The second time is that the boy saw the light. Assuming that the first time has alarmed the bad guys, the second time Will the bad guy show up again? The premise of our investigation is: suppose the two children tell the truth. What is the purpose of the bad guy?"

Baker said: "The ground is very clean, the doors and windows are closed, and there is even very little dust. No traces of human beings staying for a long time, such as food residues, were found. No furniture was lost."

"If you haven't lost anything, there might be too many things." Assuming first, and then ruling out the hypothesis, Liang Xi picked up the phone and dialed Bobby's number.

Bobby answered the phone, half dead: "Hello."

Liang Xi: "Did you die? If you're not dead, I need to buy some furniture here."

Bobby: "Go away."

Liang Xi: "Then I can only wait for Wendy to tell you after school. She will ask, where is the blonde brother? You know, I am very honest, especially for a little girl, I will be honest and tell her what happened Tragedy upon you."

Bobby was angry: "Say, what furniture to buy?"

Liang Xi briefly introduced the situation in an orderly manner, and Bobby finished listening without saying a word: "Wait."

……

An hour later, a lawyer and two community police officers went to the grandmother's house and explained the situation. The house and all the furniture had been bought by Bobby.The lawyer brought a simple contract, which stated that Liang Xi had the right to dispose of everything in the house.

After there was no problem with the law, Liang Xi stopped the community police: "Help demolish the house."

It took only 5 minutes to demolish the house, and a community policeman found that the back of the single sofa was cut open, the springs inside were visible to the naked eye, and there was a lot of space inside.The male community policeman proved on the spot that the sofa must have been intact.Because he helped the grandmother and niece buy plastic paper, and he helped the niece wrap the furniture.

Liang Xi agreed that if the sofa had been cut early, traces of many small insects would definitely be found inside.Based on this, it is speculated that when the two children were playing with candles, someone hid something on the sofa.On the day the lights flickered, someone took something from the couch.The question is, what is it?Why hide here?This kind of question is beyond the scope of logical reasoning, and it is even difficult to assume.

Baker doesn't like to use his brain, which doesn't mean he's stupid.He denied the possibility of a deal, as a veteran member of the Fan Hunting Team, he knew too well about the deal.The transaction time cannot exceed two days. Baker thinks this method is more like buying a murderer.

Baker explained that the employer wanted to kill a person, but he couldn't do it, or he didn't have the ability to do it.So he hired killers from other places.Killers often bite their employers after being arrested. The best way is that the killer is only responsible for killing people and doesn't need to know anything else.Hiring a killer requires weapons. If the killer brings his own weapons, the farther he is from the assassination target, the less safe he will be.Weapons are provided locally, and killers are hired elsewhere.

Liang Xi discovered the flaw in Baker's explanation: "Based on your assumption, it means that the killer is not a native. Are all the British dead? Is it difficult to shoot?" Britain does not ban guns, but they are strictly controlled.The United Kingdom often bullies others with the boss, the United States, and veterans with combat experience abound.

Liang Xi asked and answered: "It's not difficult to shoot a gun, but some guns are not something ordinary people can shoot."

Baker: "Sniper rifle?"

Liang Xi nodded: "Medium and long-range sniper rifles." At a distance of two to three hundred meters, using a professional sniper rifle has very low requirements for the shooter.

　Thank you for your support for the genuine version, and we will work hard to complete the Xiemeng update this month.
