Chapter 18 Capturing Blind Spots

"The door is impossible, the windows are impossible, and the surrounding walls are impossible. What about the ceiling?" Lu Ming raised his head.

"That's even more impossible. The ceiling is thicker than the walls, and there is no mezzanine. Not to mention, if you want to escape from the ceiling, you must have a ladder to go up. The shelf here is twice that of a normal house. The table doesn't even reach the ceiling."

Zhang Ziyang had already measured the size when he surveyed the scene that day, ruling out the possibility of hiding in the ceiling and escaping.

Lu Ming had to change his mind. He turned around in the room, chanting words: "Crossing flowers and sticking trees, darkening old warehouses..."

"I can only keep this case from being sealed. When you come back and start a new one, I have no idea at all. This is not a criminal case at all, but a supernatural event. Miss Sheng may have a successful cultivation of immortality. In this room If you have become a fairy, then of course it will not be explained in your book." Zhang Ziyang said with a wry smile.

The two were silent for a while without speaking.

"I think there must be blind spots in this case that we have overlooked." Lu Ming took a deep breath and said.

"Blind spots? I think we are trying to figure out the elephant for the blind." Zhang Ziyang said dejectedly.

"It's the blind spot of people's usual understanding and vision. For example, something is clearly here, but you can't find it after searching the whole house. You may have scanned it many times, but you ignore its existence. Could it be Sheng Muyi? Or has someone else created a blind spot in this case?"

"Ah? What you said, wait a minute, let me think about it..." Zhang Ziyang seemed to be touched by something, frowning and thinking hard.

These days, when he was free, this case was in his mind, and he repeatedly speculated about the various possibilities of this case, and the result was like this closed room, with no way out at all.

"There is such a possibility." Suddenly, Zhang Ziyang's mind flashed, and he shouted.

When he looked at Lu Ming, he knew that Lu Ming thought the same as him, because Lu Ming's face was full of sadness at this moment.

"We seem to be thinking of getting together again."

"I hope it's different from what you think." Lu Ming sighed.

"Talk about your thoughts first." Zhang Ziyang said.

"If there is a blind spot, it must be here." Lu Ming pointed to the bathroom on the right side of the door.

This presidential suite is not only big, but also has two bathrooms, one is in the bedroom, and the other is on the right side of the entrance. This should be for the guests, because the outside is where the host works to entertain guests.

"Yes, this move is so clever that no one would have thought of it. Go on," Zhang Ziyang said.

"When everyone came in, there was indeed someone in the room. Let's not say who this person is, he is hiding in this bathroom. When everyone rushes in, where is the first thing they want to check?" Lu Ming asked.

"Naturally it is the bedroom, because the living room can be seen at a glance after entering the door."

"Yes, so after everyone came in, no one would glance at the bathroom, but they all went to the bedroom to look for Sheng Muyi. At this time, the person hiding in the bathroom can appear in a grandiose manner, or join the crowd that came in, or Shi Shiran goes out, and then Go away gracefully."

"If he joins the crowd looking for Sheng Muyi, these people will think that he followed in, and they will not think that he is hiding in the house. If he goes out, people outside will only think that he is the one who went in to look for Sheng Muyi. Don't doubt him."

"Gao Ming, the man is right in front of his eyes. It is estimated that half of the people have seen him, but they just didn't expect this man to be hiding in the house. The key and incomprehensible part of the case lies in him."

"Yes, this is the blind spot. Everyone had only one thought at the time, what happened to Sheng Muyi? Is he sick? There is no time to pay attention to other people. Even if he saw him, he would not care. He would not think that this person has anything to do with Sheng Muyi."

"Well, even you or other police officers may have questioned him afterwards, but they never thought that he was the perpetrator." Lu Ming said.

"It's very possible, of course, it's also possible that he left and disappeared. However, there is still a doubt. Sheng Muyi's suitcase and dressing box are missing. How do you explain this?" Zhang Ziyang asked.

"Of course they were transferred away, together with Sheng Muyi." Lu Ming said sadly, a layer of mist rose in his eyes.

"Then you said that it might be Sheng Muyi who came out of the house. She carries a makeup box with her, so she can change her appearance and make up." Zhang Ziyang suddenly had a brain hole. He really wanted Sheng Muyi to live in this world so much. Knowing the relationship between Lu Ming and Sheng Muyi, she didn't want her brother to suffer such a heavy blow.

"Impossible, anyone who comes out may be, only Sheng Muyi can't." Lu Ming shook his head, then raised his head, suppressing the tears that were about to flow from his eyes.

"Yeah, no matter the people in the house or the people in the corridor, they are all too familiar with her. Even if she changes her appearance, her body shape will still be recognized. It is impossible for her to change her height, shortness, fatness, and thinness."

"If you have time and props, of course you can, but Sheng Muyi is not a makeup artist for movies or dramas after all. She doesn't have such high makeup and camouflage skills, and she can't disguise herself as another person within two hours." Lu Ming judged.

He turned around secretly and wiped his eyes. Although Zhang Ziyang was not someone else, he was still ashamed to cry in front of outsiders.

"If the inference is true, the first suspect is still those two bodyguards. They not only have the opportunity, but also the ability to collude with outsiders to kidnap Sheng Muyi or kill her." Lu Ming said.

"They pretended to accompany the police upstairs and downstairs to check, and cleverly created this blind spot, so that they could get rid of their own suspicion." Zhang Ziyang said.

"This is a standard disappearance case in a secret room. People can't find a place to start it. In the end, they can only let it go. It is treated as a supernatural incident. The most brilliant part of the whole case is here."

"The people in the house and in the corridor at that time were either members of the Sheng family or employees of the hotel. If an outsider suddenly appeared, it should also arouse suspicion." Zhang Ziyang suddenly thought of a question.

"So, this narrows down the scope. We can be sure that the person hiding in the room is either an insider of the Sheng family or an employee of the restaurant." Lu Ming said firmly.

Reminiscent of what Sheng Youde said to him last night, he was more inclined to believe that there was an inner ghost in the Sheng family, and he did not even rule out that someone from Sheng Muyi's maidservant would act as the inner ghost.

Zhang Ziyang thought back to all the people he had questioned immediately after the incident, the members of the Sheng family and the employees of the restaurant all passed the sieve, as if no one met this requirement.

"Zi Yang, if you look back now, you won't be able to find any flaws. You must go back and carefully check the statements of everyone at that time. If you can't, then record the statements again for everyone present." Lu Ming insisted on his point of view.

"Can a breakthrough be found through a confession? Those who do this kind of thing must have rich anti-reconnaissance experience." Zhang Ziyang hasn't figured this out yet.

"Among the people present at the time, there must be such a person, a person who suddenly appeared at the scene, as if emerging from the ground, this guy is the criminal we are looking for." Lu Ming said.

"That's right, a person who suddenly appears in front of everyone, even if he is someone familiar to everyone, will actually arouse suspicion, but no one thought about it at the time, so no one had doubts." Zhang Ziyang patted Lu Ming over his shoulder, and cast an approving look.

"Let's sort out the facts of the case." Lu Ming walked to the door of the suite.

"Afternoon tea ended at about [-]:[-], Sheng Muyi went upstairs, followed by bodyguards and maids." Zhang Ziyang began to sort out the case from the beginning.

"Sheng Muyi was about to enter the room. She took things from the maid, carried the suitcase and dressing box by herself, and asked no one to disturb her." Lu Ming continued.

"Stop, why does she have to carry the suitcase and dressing box by herself? Why doesn't she let her maid help her change clothes and touch up makeup?" Zhang Ziyang waved his hand.

"Well, this is one of the important doubts. I originally deduced that Mu Yi disappeared on her own initiative. I don't want to discuss the reason. She carried the suitcase and dressing box by herself and prevented the maids from entering the house, which is valid evidence." Lu Ming nodded. .

When discussing cases, he and Zhang Ziyang often have a good understanding, but only on the case, in other respects, the two of them basically have different ideas and views. If they can't convince each other, they can try their hand.

For example, Lu Ming is still a rich man, but he never touches stocks, let alone casinos. Zhang Ziyang only lives on his salary. Although he cannot be said to be a salaryman and has limited savings, he likes to speculate in stocks and gamble.

"Then how do you explain this?" Zhang Ziyang asked.

"This is an unconventional practice. Normally, she wouldn't carry the suitcase and dressing box into the room by herself. Obviously, she doesn't want others to enter. Why?" Lu Ming opened his mind.

"Well, this is indeed a suspicious point, you continue to say."

"Another possibility is that Sheng Muyi was attacked by someone who hid in the house after entering the house. If this is the case, then the person who hid in the house is the employee of the hotel, because only the employee of the hotel can get the master key. Hide inside." Lu Ming continued to deduce.

"There are many rooms in the hotel, how does this person know that Mu Yi will definitely rest in this suite?" Zhang Ziyang asked back.

"This is not a problem. Everyone in the hotel knows that this suite is reserved for the Sheng family. Those who are eligible to enter the rest are either Sheng Muyi or Sheng Youde. In other words, Sheng Muyi has a 50.00% chance of entering this suite. And Sheng Youde De will definitely leave the best room for his daughter, and based on this reasoning, Sheng Muyi may enter more than 80.00% of the time." Lu Ming laughed.

"But, how can they be sure that Sheng Muyi will go into the room to rest? What if she goes home?" Zhang Ziyang asked again.

He's not trying to be smart, but to plug any potential loopholes. This is also a way for him to cooperate with Lu Ming.

"After afternoon tea, there are basically no programs, and there are two hours left for the dinner and evening celebrations. The celebration is ready for the celebration all night. Everyone needs to rest, recharge their batteries, and prepare for the dinner and evening celebrations. The situation that day also illustrates this point, everyone found a room to rest. Not to mention the guests who came, even the servants have a room."

"Well, it seems that the hotel employees are the most likely to be involved. They can get inside information in advance, and then cooperate with the bodyguards."
