Chapter 368 You've Been Cuckolded!
"What have you found?"
The male security guard's vigilance was indeed stronger than that of the female tourist, as he sensed something before Xu Shuo even got close.
He turned to glance at the approaching pair and then rotated the deceased's head to show them, while saying, "Before the victim was stabbed, the murderer first strangled her from the front. However, perhaps because the victim fiercely resisted or the murderer's strength was insufficient, the murderer couldn't suffocate her."
"Oh..." The two of them nodded as they listened.
"Wait, do you mean that the murderer's strength was about the same as the victim's?" The female tourist suddenly thought of something and immediately asked.
"That's possible," the male security guard said.
"In that case, I just found two blood-stained clothes in the pile of models. According to the clues on the promotional posters, these seem to be left by the murderer," said the female tourist as she spoke, she pulled out the tracksuit with a reverse hand.
"Promotional posters' clues?"
The male security guard latched onto the keyword and was momentarily stunned.
"Oh right, I was so busy organizing groups I forgot to mention it to you," the female tourist explained. "This tall guy and I found many photos on the promotional posters in Central Square, which must have been posted by some mysterious person to give us clues."
The male security guard looked towards the tall guy next to him.
Xu Shuo scratched his head embarrassingly and said, "That's right, later we noticed you guys were watching surveillance footage, so we forgot to mention it. Actually, most of those photos are also surveillance shots, not much different."
Except there were some additional clues analyzed by the police.
At this point, the female tourist continued her previously unfinished words, opened up the two sets of clothes, and said, "This tracksuit is size L, and although the fabric is very elastic, considering you said the murderer wasn't very strong, I think this person must be rather slim."
A person of average build, at least four out of the six of them could fit this set of clothes.
The promoter was tall and burly, unsuitable.
The female ticket seller was petite and slim, also unsuitable.
But the other four might fit in it quite well.
However, this analysis can only serve as one of the clues and for the time being should not be included in the process of elimination.
The male security guard thoughtfully said, "The murderer deliberately left his clothes at the crime scene, possibly because he couldn't leave with blood-stained clothes, or maybe the murderer wanted to throw us off."
However, he had just deduced from the marks on the victim's body that the murderer's strength was almost equal to the victim's.
Because the marks of strangulation on the victim's neck were still visible half an hour later, it's possible that the murderer had actually intended to suffocate her but didn't succeed.
"In that case, we can conclude that their strengths were similar, can't we?" the female tourist frowned and asked.
"However, the murderer later snatched the fruit knife from the victim and committed the murder, which shows that the murderer's physical strength or skill must have been greater than that of the victim," Xu Shuo said at this time.
"That's indeed true, the murderer not only took the fruit knife but also prevented the victim from calling for help and stabbed her thirty-six times," the male security guard said while prodding the body's chin.@@novelbin@@
The victim couldn't scream for help at the time because her jaw had been dislocated.
Afterwards, the murderer began the stabbing spree.
If you think about it this way, could it eliminate all female suspects?
Of course, that's not necessarily the case; what if it was a female strongwoman?
The male security guard thought of this and subconsciously glanced at the female tourist next to him, scanning her elegant and graceful figure, the long legs that appeared and disappeared, and the seven-centimeter-high heels she wore.
The female tourist immediately raised an eyebrow: "What?"
"Ahem... nothing."
The male security guard shifted the topic: "How about you, did you find anything else?"
"Yes, apart from the clothes of the suspected murderer, the struggle marks in the pile of models were actually quite conspicuous,"
The female tourist gestured for them to look at the zombie models on both sides of the arc-shaped passage and the pile of zombie models in the center of the arc, then continued:
"The models on the sides of the passage, although placed in odd and bizarre poses, still display some orderly characteristics.
"However, the models in the center are arranged in a particularly chaotic manner, seemingly just piled up haphazardly. Some models even have their scare-the-visitors poses facing inward.
"Therefore, I conjecture that the murderer and the victim must have had an argument here for a while, after which the murderer killed the victim, then rearranged the disturbed models to prop up the victim's body, but didn't adjust them carefully.
"And the clothes were just thrown into the pile of models. Although the passage is clean, if you look closely, there are still some scattered bloodstains.
"I think the murderer left in a hurry,"
the female tourist concluded.
The lighting in the Haunted House was particularly dim, many things had to be closely examined by crouching down, but the general situation was still easy to observe.
"Left in a hurry, probably due to lack of time," Xu Shuo said. "The surveillance footage was replaced; he only had that short period to stay in the Haunted House."
"You're right, I was thinking the same thing!"
The male security guard looked at the tall man who had added to the analysis with approval, then continued, "That's why I said earlier that this murder was premeditated. The murderer had calculated the exact time and place, and had replaced the surveillance footage in advance, then lured the victim to the Haunted House, and even made the victim deliberately conceal their own itinerary to get here!"
"The murderer had something on the victim, something she absolutely didn't want others to know," Xu Shuo continued.
"Exactly, but the victim also realized that the other party might pose a threat to her life, which is why she took the fruit knife from the office before coming here."
"But she still came despite the risk to her life."
"One, perhaps for benefits, two, maybe the matter posed another kind of life-threatening danger to her."
"In that case, we must first find out what kind of leverage the victim had given to the murderer. Maybe that is the key to solving the case," Xu Shuo mused.
"It is indeed important…"
"…"
The female tourist stood beside them, her head moving back and forth, watching the two big men articulate their analysis step by step. Then, she suddenly remembered something!
She sharply turned to Xu Shuo, "Speaking of leverage, aren't you the victim's official boyfriend?"
Xu Shuo nodded with a hint of confusion, "Right."
"You said you took a part-time job at the amusement park because your girlfriend couldn't get time off, so you came to work in costume to meet your girlfriend on the side," the female tourist continued, her gaze becoming very piercing. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire
"That's correct," Xu Shuo nodded again.
"But! The girlfriend who told you she couldn't get time off, she actually took a day off on May 23rd!"
"Emmm…"
The female tourist's tone was excited, almost confrontation: "The 'couldn't take time off' was a lie, because she secretly took a day off on that day to come to the Haunted House alone!"
Both men seemed to realize something, looking at each other and falling into silence.
Meanwhile, the only woman, with shining eyes and an excited face, said, "She didn't take a day off because she didn't want to spend Valentine's Day with you; I think—
"She must have been having an affair!"
"…"
So why do you find so much pleasure in seeing someone else get cuckolded?

What do you think?
