Chapter 139 Headless Corpse
A week ago, a real estate agent took a couple to see the house and found the headless body in the restaurant of the house.The body was strapped to a dining table and wearing a suit and trousers.The body was missing a head, hands and feet, and there was a lot of blood in the dining room and kitchen.According to forensic identification, the deceased was sawed off his head, hands and feet after death.The most bizarre thing is that the cause of death of the deceased was injection death, which is the standard three-shot injection in the injection death penalty.The first needle is numb, the second needle relaxes the muscles, and the third needle is fatal.The method of execution by injection is the most humane method of death penalty in human research and discussion.

Interesting fact: Britain does not have the death penalty.Before the abolition of the death penalty in Britain, there was only one form of death penalty: hanging. In 18, the United Kingdom arrested two British terrorists. They were members of the Holy Beatles and did a lot of bad things.This is the first time since the abolition of the death penalty in the UK, the death penalty guarantee has been abolished.Britain extradited the pair to other countries without the death penalty.

Theoretically speaking, three needles do not exist on British soil.

Since 69, there has been no precedent for the death penalty in the UK. The sudden appearance of corpses in the standard execution method has attracted the police's attention.However, the deceased did not have any identity documents, and there was no information about him in the DNA bank. The police checked more than [-] missing reports and found nothing.

Today Baker came to Liang Xi with copies and data to see if Liang Xi could find some clues.

Liang Xi took the information bag and said, "I'm sure I don't have physical evidence personnel or forensic medicine."

Baker died as a horse doctor, and introduced: "Caucasian, 178 cm in height and about 70 kg in weight. The estimated price of the suit, shirt, trousers and underwear on his body is about [-] to [-] pounds."

Liang Xi said, "The rich."

Bobby asked: "How can you tell that he is a rich man?" Is this the so-called detective?Can you have some basic common sense, please?
Liang Xi: "Go to death."

Bobby was furious and pushed Liang Xi's head with his hand. Liang Xi successfully dodged and grabbed Bobby's hair with one hand. Mary appeared in time to defuse the fight and scolded: "Liang Xi, how can you treat guests like this?"

Bobby wiped his tears: "Mary, he hit me."

"Liang Xi?" Mary looked at Liang Xi and her tone became more serious.

Liang Xi was speechless and said, "I'm sorry."

Mary glared at Liang Xi, turned around and went to the kitchen again, Bobby smiled triumphantly: "I can find fun in even boring things with you."

Liang Xi ignored him and asked, "Are there any scars on your body? Are there any traces of vaccination?"

Baker said: "No, very clean. His last meal was about two hours before death, beef and red wine in his stomach."

Liang Xi said: "From the analysis of the documents, the other party does not want the police to know the identity of the man. But why not dispose of the whole body? It is probably because of the reason for carrying it. The contradiction is why the death penalty is used to kill the man? In the UK But there is no three-shot medicine, so you can only buy it from abroad."

Liang Xi said: "A man entered the UK with three doses of medicine, and then executed the man. So troublesome? The deceased may not be British. Is there any sign of resistance?"

Baker said: "Not found. We speculate that the murderer tricked the deceased into giving the first injection, put the man behind the dining table, and injected the last two injections."

The police couldn't explain why the murderer took so much trouble?

Liang Xidao: "There are usually several reasons for executing others in the most humane way the murderer thinks. The first reason is to buy the killer to commit suicide. The second is respect. The murderer received the order to execute the deceased, and the murderer chose the most merciful The third way is love. The murderer loves the dead. Because of betrayal and other reasons, the murderer wants to kill the dead, so he chooses the way that makes the dead suffer the least. The fourth is similar to the ancient death, when many ancient kings executed criminals He will choose the way with the least pain, because the criminal minister has helped the king and the country, and he is a person who has made contributions. Poisoned wine, white silk, etc. The last type of typical death row prisoner, he chooses to be executed by three needles, rather than any other way."

Liang Xi asked, "Does the suit have any wrinkles?"

Baker flipped through the photos and said, "No." The buttons of the suit were neatly buttoned, and it remained straight even when lying on the dining table.

Liang Xi looked at Bobby, and said to the bodyguard, "Help me lift the dining table out."

Bobby was wary: "I don't think it's better not to."

Liang Xi asked: "What about solving the case? In a murder case, human life is greater than heaven."

"But I'm going to be unlucky," said Poppy. Only he was in a suit.

Liang Xi: "It depends on how you understand it."

……

The table was lifted out, and under Liang Xi's explanation, Baker picked up Bobby and put him on the table.Bobby said: "Baker, when the case is solved, I have to write: Blonde provided key assistance." Many people knew that Blonde was Bobby, even Bobby's family knew.

Baker replied with a smile: "Definitely, definitely."

After waiting for a few minutes, Bobby felt very uncomfortable and wanted to turn over. Baker helped him up.Liang Xi looked at the suit on Bobby's back, there were some wrinkles and a slight skew caused by squirming.

Liang Xi greeted him, and the bodyguard gave Bobby another bodyguard's suit. This suit had been ironed temporarily without any wrinkles.Bobby put on his suit, sat on the dining table, swept his hands around his waist, straightened the suit and lay down.This time the back of the suit doesn't have any pleats.

Baker saw the key: "The dead man lay down by himself."

"There is a possibility that the murderer helped him organize his clothes, but this possibility is relatively small. But it doesn't matter, we can get to the point after playing Bobby."

Bobby didn't hear it, and Mary wasn't there, so he was at a disadvantage in fighting by himself.

Liang Xi got to the point and said: "Wear the best and neatest clothes, eat a steak, and drink red wine. The deceased accepted his fate of being executed soon. This is not murder, but execution or suicide by buying a murderer. Before the death penalty, the deceased , dealt with the traces left by oneself. For example, after checking out from the hotel, the hotel will not report the disappearance. For example, returning the rented car. After deducting the cause of death of suicide, the deceased was either very loyal to the group or individual, or very afraid of the group or individual. Will gladly accept the execution..."

Poppy asked, "Are you afraid?"

Liang Xi said: "No, if it's fear, this person should choose to use his life to shine the last light. Judging from the complicated means, this person has a certain status in the group, and he may also admit that he did something wrong , will accept the result of being executed." This part is speculation.

Baker said: "Or the wife and daughter were threatened. In that case, why not let him commit suicide?"

Liang Xi said: "That's why I doubt the group. His death is for others in the group to see, to warn everyone not to make the same mistakes as the deceased. At the same time, the murderer conveys a message, even if you deserve to die, we still respect you. This person's Behavior is not subjectively malicious to the collective, but mistakes cannot be forgiven."

Why can't the deceased find a quiet corner to commit suicide?Suicide is taboo in most religions.

Liang Xi: "Why not completely destroy the body? I think dividing it is more cruel than disposing of the whole body. I speculate that the murderer can only use this method to conceal the identity of the deceased. The head, hands and feet are easy to carry and light in weight. The best way to dispose of it It means tying something heavy and sinking it into water, preferably the sea, where it will be eaten by fish.”

Liang Xi said: "How did the three needles get into the UK? There are only three ways, tunnel, ferry and sea. Neither the murderer nor the deceased is British. The deceased is a foreigner working in the UK, and the murderer is a person who came to the UK from abroad for execution." So particular, with such a strong character, only Thresh, as far as I know, could go to such great lengths to carry out the execution."

Liang Xi asked, "What time did the deceased die?"

Baker said, "Between nine and ten in the evening."

Liang Xi said: "Check all the male guests in London's high-end restaurants that night. If he is a person who has received the death penalty, he will most likely eat alone. A man ordered a steak and a bottle in the restaurant alone. Red wine is the type of customer that will be remembered by the waiter."

Baker interface: "As long as we find out which restaurant it is, we can correspondingly find the surveillance cameras that can capture his face."

Liang Xi said: "Check from the walking distance of one or two hours." Liang Xi's book is not for nothing, it records the mentality of many death row prisoners before execution.

The deceased took a bath, changed clothes, went to eat neatly, and then walked slowly to the execution place to receive the death penalty.

Liang Xi added: "The other party probably paid cash and gave a lot of tips."

Baker got up: "Start work, start work." He said goodbye to Mary, chatted for thirty seconds and left.

Liang Xi's reasoning for this case is directional reasoning. Liang Xi infers from the information that the headless body was executed voluntarily.Derived some speculation in this direction, and found a way to prove the right or wrong direction of my reasoning.

Bobby cared about his own affairs and asked, "Do you have a suitable haunted house on hand? Anything in the cemetery will do."

Liang Xi took the black tea, reclined on the rattan chair, and said haha: "Should we settle the score first, I helped you settle the women of the Kefu family, should you be mean?"

Bobby: "I helped you woman."

Liang Xi said, "You offered five times to hell with it for free."

Bobby: "You blame me for not making a condition?"

Liang Xi pointed: "Okay, just remember it for me."

"Five times for free, hell, this is an oral contract and cannot be breached. It's about the husband and woman..." Bobby waved his hand, and the bodyguard stepped forward and put a small briefcase in his hand on the table.Bobby opened the briefcase, which contained various keys.There are ordinary flat keys, cross cylinder keys, fingerprint readers, card keys, and keys similar to car encryption keys.

"What do you mean?"

Bobby said: "Nine properties, choose one for yourself. My brother will settle the accounts. You helped me, and I have to pay. Considering your financial difficulties, I will be responsible for the property taxes for five years."

Liang Xi asked, "Can I sell it?"

"Yes." Bobby said, "You are my friend after all, aren't you? Your living standard is too low, and going out will hurt my face."

Liang Xi said, "No."

Poppy questioned.

Liang Xi said: "It's not worth that much money, you just give three thousand pounds."

Bobby was puzzled: "If you're lucky, you can get a mansion worth more than 10 million pounds."

Liang Xi took out the cross key: "10 million."

Bobby was surprised: "How do you know?"

Liang Xi: "Don't you have to have fun with everything? You guessed that I would choose the best or the worst, so fingerprint readers and flat keys are the cheapest houses. Don't be silly, three thousand pounds, Give money."

Poppy still didn't understand: "Why not? You can sell it."

Liang Xi said: "Bobby, I can knock you anytime I want, and I'm not in a hurry to spend money. The money you gave has exceeded its value. I can have a rich friend, but I won't have a mentality A friend who is above me. I have not starved to death poorly, and there is no need to wrong myself. I am very satisfied and happy in my life now."

Liang Xi said: "After I have 10 million, I will also open a detective agency, and I will also go to Mary's house for dinner regularly. I am very happy that you are willing to give me a house, which represents your recognition of me. But I think This matter is worth three thousand pounds, if you give a tip of one or two thousand more, I will not refuse."

Bobby thought for a while and said: "But you didn't consider me? I have no other strengths except money. I feel very weak when I'm in contact with you. Only when I need to spend money, I feel that I have some value .”

Liang Xi said: "Money is enough, your ability is money ability. Think about it, how many things we encountered were solved with your money? Liu really didn't dare to pry the car, he couldn't afford it, you covered it You can't find the goods in the warehouse, so you bought all the warehouses. Including your bodyguards, they were also hired with your money. Besides, when you were spending money and talking with high-quality girls, I was alone in the detective agency reading books. Why can't it be stronger than you?"

Bobby nodded: "I'm balanced when you say that."

What the hell!

Bobby said: "Well, I won't give you the money. I have a large flat near Bonin Street, more than 200 square meters, and I will rent it to you at a low price. The monthly rent is [-] pounds."

Liang Xi: "Five hundred."

Poppy: "You can pay on credit. As the landlord, I will furnish all the appliances and furniture."

Liang Xi frowned and calculated: "Then my monthly utility bills plus rent don't cost a thousand pounds?"

Bobby: "The high-rise flat floor on Booning Street, 10 minutes walk from Maria Hospital, modern decoration design, a full set of brand-new appliances. The rent is three to five thousand pounds, and countless people are rushing to rent it."

Liang Xi thought for a long time: "No." I can't afford it.

Poppy: "Complimentary housekeeping service, cleaning and disinfection once a week."

Liang Xi struggled for a long time: "No."

Bobby: "Give me the right to use the underground garage."

Liang Xi went crazy: "What do you want?" I said no, but you still tempted me?
Bobby turned his head and said, "Photo."

The bodyguard took out the tablet and looked for it for a while, then passed the tablet over, and Bobby guided Liang Xi to look at the house. On the 25th floor, all floor-to-ceiling windows are tempered glass, and the bedroom is oversized.Drop-off layout, built-in teahouse on the second floor, and outdoor garden.There is also a fitness room and recreation room.

Liang Xi swallowed his saliva, he was really beautiful and luxurious.

Liang Xi asked, "Where is the hole?"

Bobby didn't admit it: "What pit?"

Liang Xi said, "It wouldn't be fun without pits."

Bobby said seriously: "If you turn on the constant temperature and air conditioner for 24 hours, the monthly expenses plus the rent are about [-] yuan. The [-] rent is a price you can't refuse after I calculate your income. There's only one pitfall: for every additional person in the house, you'll pay me an extra thousand pounds a month in rent."

Liang Xi considered for a long time and said, "I refuse."

The problem is that the house is too big.The detective agency is small, narrowness brings warmth, and broadness brings loneliness.Although the house is beautiful, there is very little space for Liang Xi to use.This kid wants to squeeze out his own money. Only when he is poor can he show his arrogance and feel like a protagonist when he is mixed with him.

Bobby didn't care: "Next time you ask for it, the rent will be raised."

Liang Xi said impatiently: "Got it." I wouldn't want it.

Bobby looked at the bodyguard and said, "Transfer three thousand to Liang Xi's account."
