The person who made this scream was naturally Pang Ji, and the bloody head was the one who was driven out just now - Pang Xiaoqin.
"Ahhh~" The crowd who finally reacted immediately erupted in screams. People wanted to escape from this strange and terrifying scene, but Bao Zheng shouted: "No one is allowed to leave!"
"Seal the building!" Jace immediately ordered the SCI people who had gathered around him, "Gather all the guests into a room, search the building, look for any suspicious people, and go to the security room to check the surveillance video!" Jace finished the order , the SCI people rushed out of the hall one after another, and everyone went about their business. Other police officers present also organized the guests to wait in a room together.
Kian walked up to the corpse that was strangely stuck in the middle of the cake and looked up and down. The bloody English letters on its back were really dazzling.
Pang Ji had fainted, and his son Pang Qingzheng and the medical staff were staying with him.
Bai Jintang was frowning at the cake corpse when the twins came up behind him and whispered: "Boss, do you want to ask a Feng Shui master to take a look at the Feng Shui of this building tomorrow?"
Bai Jintang rolled his eyes at them. Gongsun beside him took off his coat and hurried over. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to check the body, but he heard a man yell: "Get out of here!"
While they were talking, Pang Qing shouted loudly and rushed to block the body. He shouted at Gongsun with excitement, "Stop pretending to be a good person for me, you are the one who killed my sister."
Jace frowned, but thinking that he had just been greatly stimulated, he didn't care about it. He just advised him softly: "Mr. Pang, please don't hinder the investigation. An autopsy as soon as possible will help us solve the case."
"You all get out of here!" Pang Ji's son kept waving his hands and shouting like crazy, "It's all you, you are the ones who killed my sister... you!" He didn't finish his words, because of his movements The movement was too big, and he waved his hand to the cake behind him. With a "crash", the body and the cake fell backwards, scattering all over the floor.
Jace's expression changed. He really regretted that he should have asked people to drag this lunatic away just now. People named Pang are indeed those who fail to succeed but fail to succeed! He turned to the police officer on the side and said, "Drag him out and charge him with deliberately damaging the scene and obstructing the investigation!"
The police officers quickly came up and took away Pang Qing, who was still noisy. Kian and Jace looked at each other, then looked back at Gongsun, and saw that Gongsun also had a serious look on his face.
"This is terrible." Kian felt helpless and annoyed, "Before we even had time to wait for the forensic investigators to take photos, the first scene was destroyed!"
"This kid..." Jace also sneered and looked back at Gongsun, "It's not such a coincidence!"
Gongsun walked to the pile of rotten cakes and scattered corpses and knelt down to examine them carefully. He sighed and shook his head, "Now I can't tell how the corpse got into the cake."
"Mao'er...how long has Pang Xiaoqin been out?" Jace asked.
"If you think about it, it won't take more than half an hour in total." Kian frowned, "How is it possible to kill, cut into pieces, carve words on a living person, and then put it into a complete cake within half an hour? inside?"
Gongsun was silent for a long time and shook his head: "It's impossible!"
Yan Li, who had woken up from the fright, her face pale with fright, tightly holding Fang Wo's hand beside her, said in a panic, "Oh my God, if I didn't drive her out, maybe she wouldn't die." "
Fang Wo, who had been silent next to her, stroked her hair comfortingly and said, "I don't blame you, it's just that the way of death is a bit too strange, it feels like magic."
Everyone else present was stunned. Jace and Kian looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Jace turned around and looked at Yan Li and Fang Wo, and said, "The trouble is not that the police officers should go out first. We have to protect the scene here. We will ask you again if necessary."
Yan Li and Fang Wo nodded, turned around and wanted to take Jiajia, who was looking excited, out, but Jiajia struggled, "No, I want to watch them solve the case here! It's so exciting, it's the first time I've seen it real." Crime scene, so exciting!"
Jace frowned, feeling a strong dislike for the girl who looked like a little angel. He didn't know whether to call her naive or cold-blooded.
Bai Jintang glared at the twins who were still stubbornly refusing to leave. The twins had to leave reluctantly and walked to Gongsun. Bai Jintang whispered, "I'm in the suite on the 27th floor. Come over when you're done." "
Gongsun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Bai Jintang and said, "I want to go back for an autopsy."
Bai Jintang k!ssed his hair and whispered, "It just so happens that I need to take a nap first to recuperate my energy." As he said this, he winked at him and said, "I miss you so much." After that, he got up and walked away gracefully.
Gongsun raised his head and saw Kian and Jace listening to their conversation with open ears. He shook his head helplessly, "There is too much fresh milk and cake on the body. It must be dealt with before the autopsy can be performed!"
Jace nodded and was about to speak when he saw Kian next to him suddenly looking back. Jace also followed his gaze and saw that Zhao Zhen, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, had woken up at some point. If there was He leaned on the sofa thoughtfully and stared at the scene in a daze.
Bai Chi and Greyson ran to the surveillance room to watch the video just after the incident, so Zhao Zhen was the only one left now. Seeing that Kian and Jace were looking at him, Zhao Zhen stood up knowingly and was about to leave, but Kian suddenly said, "Zhao Zhen... we want to consult."
Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly, put his hands in his pockets and folded them back. After many days of getting along, plus the fact that Zhao Zhen saved Kian and Milo's lives before, and his relationship with Xiao Bai Chi is getting closer and closer, Zhan Bai's original wariness towards Zhao Zhen has been eliminated. The two of them would often joke with him. Besides, Zhao Zhen, apart from his sometimes weird personality, was really a rare person who was easy to get along with.
Walking to Kian and standing next to him, Zhao Zhen raised his eyes and looked at him, "What are you consulting about?"
"Is there any element of magic in this?" Jace asked, "Are there any similar techniques?"
"Cake with meat?" Zhao Zhen shrugged, "No one can make it, it's so unsightly."
Both Jace and Kian felt discouraged. At this time, Gongsun, who was inspecting the body, suddenly said "Eh".
"What's wrong?" Jace squatted down and asked, "What did you find?"
"There were a lot of dead spots on the chest and abdomen of the deceased." Gongsun frowned, "He has been dead for at least two hours."
"What?" Jace and Kian looked at each other, two hours? That means that Pang Xiaoqin was already dead before the banquet started. Then who was the person who was kicked out after the conflict with Gongsun just now? Is everyone collectively hallucinating?
"The corpse should have been lying prone for a certain period of time after death." Gongsun explained, "And look at these words." He pointed to the bloody words carved on the back of the deceased, "The blood has completely solidified. If he died, In less than half an hour, you should be bleeding profusely!"
"It's evil." Jace looked at Kian.
"Xiao Bai, look!" Kian pointed at the deceased's head and the shoulders and neck of the corpse's torso, and asked, "Do you feel that the skin color in the two places is different?"
Gongsun also nodded, "Yes, the cut marks on the interface are also different!"
"So, the head and body are not the same person?" Jace was surprised.
"In other words, the body may have been placed in the cake a long time ago, and only the head was put in from behind." Kian thought for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Zhen, "How did the other end get in?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head helplessly and said, "I finally understand why I feel so sleepy suddenly."
The other three people were stunned by Zhao Zhen's meaningless words. Kian reacted immediately, "Someone drugged you so that you wouldn't see him doing anything. No one else will notice his trick except you!"
Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled, "You are really quick to respond... I didn't drink just now. I ate a small plate of muffins that Chichi brought to me. I only took half a bite and felt that the taste was a bit strange." Then eat...and then feel sleepy for no reason. You might as well investigate the ingredients of the waffles.
"Waffles..." Jace nodded to the members of the forensic department who came over and said, "Take the waffles on the table over there for inspection!"
"Yes." The young police officer from the forensics department hurried over, looked around the dining table, and turned around and said, "Captain Bai, there are no waffles."
Jace and Kian looked at each other, then turned to look at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen yawned and said, "Ask Chichi where he got it or who gave it to him."
Jace called Bai Chi to come down. Kian continued to ask Zhao Zhen curiously, "What can be done?"
"Have you ever heard of retrieving objects from the air?" Zhao Zhen asked Kian lazily.
"Yeah." Kian nodded, "It's probably also included in special powers.
Zhao Zhen nodded and raised his left hand in front of Kian, unfolded his palm, and there was a coin inside. As he spoke, he unfolded his right hand underneath and showed it to Kian, "The right hand is empty, and the left hand is a coin! Do you see clearly?" "
"Yeah!" Kian nodded.
"Now I will change the coin in my left hand into my right hand." After saying this, he opened his left hand and the coin disappeared. When he opened his right hand, the coin appeared.
Kian touched his chin, while Jace and Gongsun on the side were also thoughtful.
"Actually, magic is all deceptive. The key is to use people's instinctive habits to create an illusion." Zhao Zhen said indifferently, "The biggest feature of this kind of retrieving objects from the air is: visual transfer!
"Visual transfer?" Several people listened to him quietly.
"The average person's eyes have to work at the same time, and they can only focus on one focus. When one focus is taken care of, the other focus will be relaxed..."
"You mean that the murderer took advantage of the focus of everyone present to hide the body this time?" Jace thought for a while, "How did he do it?"
"It's a pity that I didn't see it at all." Zhao Zhen shrugged, "It would be nice if there was a video or something for me to take a look at."
At this time, Bai Chi hurried down and asked, "Brother, are you looking for me? By the way, Greyson and I just wanted to call up the video in the hall to take a look, but...it wasn't recorded at all!" "
"Not recorded?" Kian was surprised, "How is that possible?" As he spoke, he looked up at the cameras on the four walls, "Obviously..."
"I don't know if someone tampered with it, but the picture was all black and nothing was recorded." Bai Chi was also anxious, "Jiang Ping is doing technical analysis and said he will find out the cause in a while."
Jace nodded and asked, "Did you just give Zhao Zhen a piece of muffin?"
"Yeah." Bai Chi nodded.
"Who gave it to you?" Jace asked, "It's not on the dining table."
Bai Chi was stunned and said, "A waiter just brought it. I was afraid that it would be dirty if it was left there for a long time. Seeing that he brought two new muffins, I took them directly to Zhao Zhen... ...What's wrong?"
"Chichi, I was drugged." Zhao Zhen came over and put his arms around Bai Chi's shoulders, rubbing them twice, "Sleepy."
"What?" Bai Chi was shocked and asked, "Drug? What kind of medicine? Does it matter? No wonder you are listless after eating muffins!"
"Let me describe it to you." Kian described the specific situation to Zhao Zhen. After hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head, "Third-rate magic."
"How to say?" Everyone was interested.
"Well...according to what you said, the head of the corpse was placed at the bottom, and you judged the identity of the deceased by the head, right?" Zhao Zhen asked.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded.
"From the time the cake was pushed into the banquet hall to the time the body was discovered, who paid attention to the bottom layer of the cake?" Zhao Zhen asked.
"Well..." Everyone hesitated, Bai Chi touched his head and recalled, "Because there was a spotlight, I was looking at the newlyweds, the two wedding dolls on top of the cake, and the last stab. After the blood stains appeared, I finally heard my brother shout and turn on the light..."
"Here's the key!" Zhao Zhen suddenly interrupted Bai Chi and said, "During the whole process, there are so many places that can distract our attention! So before this, no one will notice anything about the cake. Something is wrong, and the key to everything lies in Captain Bai's words of 'turn on the lights'!"
"What's wrong with turning on the lights?" Bai Chi was puzzled, but Kian seemed to understand. He walked to the pile of fallen cakes, picked up a fallen round bracket on the ground, reinstalled it and turned it around. , surprised, "The bottom layer can really be transferred?!"
"It seems that the key lies in this movable layer!" Jace also nodded clearly.
Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If everyone were like you, magicians would have nothing to eat."
"What do you mean?" Bai Chi was anxious and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Zhen's sleeve, "Speak more clearly, I'm stupid!"
Zhao Zhen patted his head lovingly and smiled, "You're not stupid, you're just naive. In fact, the principle is very simple!" Zhao Zhen patiently explained to Bai Chi, "How many layers does this cake have in total?"
"Fifth floor."
"What's on the first floor?"
"Two little men in formal wear."
"Is it cute?"
"cute."
"What about the second floor?"
Bai Chi thought for a while, "Let's carve it..."
"Third floor?" Zhao Zhen asked next.
"That...carved flower..." Bai Chi was unsure.
"Fourth floor?"
==......Bai Chi was also depressed------didn't pay attention at all.
"Fifth floor?" Zhao Zhen asked finally.
"How could I see it?! I didn't even follow the light!" Bai Chi quibbled
"This is actually a very simple trick!" Zhao Zhen said, "The top four layers of the cake are connected together, and the bodies have been installed in advance, while the last layer of cake is relatively independent, and the last layer of the cake has been replaced. Halfway through...the perfect crime!"
"Half?!" Bai Chi suddenly realized, "Ah, I understand, it may not be easy to kill a person, cut the body into pieces, and put it into a cake within half an hour, but within this time, a human head must be It’s so easy to put in a cake!”
"That's right." Zhao Zhen nodded approvingly, "Just cut the independent layer in half, remove part of the cake, and carefully put the head in... half an hour is enough!"
"But why did I have to stun you?" Jace frowned, "Could it be that he changed the head on the spot? I used that visual diversion. While everyone heard my shout, they all focused their attention. The moment it was transferred to the lamp, someone hid behind the huge cake and replaced it with a human head. She was asked to face forward and then turned the turntable. The head of the corpse... was inside the cake and facing everyone! "
Zhao Zhen laughed loudly, "You are smart, I think so too!"
"There's something else that's very suspicious!" Kian raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone. If the last layer of the cake has been tampered with, it will definitely be seen when you get closer. The only way to avoid being discovered is ------Destroy the cake!
