Chapter 1749, is that right? I don't believe it.
"Wan Shuisheng, I never imagined you were such a cunning villain, plotting to this extent!"
Upon hearing Wan Shuisheng's words, Wei Jingfei, sitting behind the interrogation table, gritted his teeth, wishing he could stab the other man with the pen in his hand.
"Officer, Xu Sheng's crimes are heinous. He harmed so many young girls in the prime of their lives. Is his evil greater than mine? The people I killed were all heinous criminals! I am acting on behalf of Heaven to bring justice!"
Wan Shuisheng coldly turned his head and glared at Wei Jingfei.
Li Xiangnan slammed his hand on the table, silencing the room instantly.
"Wan Shuisheng, no one is above the law. Even if those people are utterly wicked, it's not your place as an ordinary citizen to uphold justice!"
Knowing that Wan Shuisheng had his own views on society and the world, and that now was not the time to debate with him, Li Xiangnan shouted, intimidating the other party, then waved his hand and roared, "Continue! How did you kill Xu Sheng? I want to hear the details!"
"Details?" Wan Shuisheng's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Alright, Li Xiangnan, I'll satisfy you!"
After saying this, he laughed sinisterly again, "Simple, too simple, Li Xiangnan. The locked-room murder case that you thought was unsolvable is a piece of cake for me!"
He looked at the three people inside the room and smiled sinisterly.
"That night, my old buddy went in and out of the iron brick drain three times, bringing four different things with him!"
"First, it's the combination of daffodils and datura that drug Xu Sheng, causing him to hallucinate!"
"Second, amplify his hallucinations, making him mistakenly believe that the photos and confession he saw were of ghosts!"
"Thirdly, there was the strip of cloth that had been soaked in a special solution beforehand, which already had a slight hallucinogenic and muscle-relaxing effect, and a diagram of a complex knot for praying for a blessed rebirth, which was placed in front of Xu Sheng!"
He looked at Li Xiangnan and asked for another cigarette.
“I know you’ve discovered the secret of the knot! But it’s not just a mark. For someone like Xu Sheng, who is highly intelligent, likes to get stuck on details, and blindly believes in things he doesn’t understand, replicating a complex and sacred knot under a hallucinatory state is a strong psychological suggestion and behavioral guidance process! He has already been guided by hallucinations and has taken it as a ritual to liberate himself!”
At that moment, Li Xiangnan's lips also slowly began to clench.
Wan Shuisheng's grasp of human nature is truly terrifying.
His research on Xu Sheng's psychology is even more chilling.
It's astonishing that someone would go to such lengths to kill another person.
Fortunately, Wan Shuisheng was caught. If he had been allowed to continue, who knows what kind of shocking crime he might have committed.
“Of course, the fourth step is to make use of what’s in the prison!” Wan Shuisheng exhaled a puff of smoke with ease: “I had Zhao Jinzhong grind off the sheet metal on the ventilation shaft’s iron bars a long time ago! That height is barely enough for someone of Xu Sheng’s size.”
"Under the combined effects of medication and psychological manipulation, hanging himself up wasn't actually difficult for him! That knot was something he wove himself—who would have thought! Once it bears weight, it only gets tighter!"
“I know,” Wan Shuisheng suddenly laughed again, “You must be wondering why his fingernails were so clean and his slippers so neat. For someone willing to die, arranging his own affairs is a simple matter, isn’t it? Moreover, in the process, he didn’t notice that right outside the window, my old snake was still watching him. If these things hadn’t been completed, the old snake would have slithered in and helped me create these false environmental details, making you police officers mistakenly believe that he committed suicide!”
"Li Xiangnan! You didn't expect this, did you? All my instructions, the transport of goods, and even the smallest details were all done through insignificant characters who would never be noticed! You say I killed Xu Sheng? Yes, I killed him, but did I really kill him?"
At this point, Wan Shuisheng laughed heartily, brimming with confidence.
"I've never gone near that cell!"
His eyes widened in anger, and he suddenly roared at Li Xiangnan, "If I tell you now that what I just said was all my imagination, all nonsense, how will you convict me?"
The interrogation room was completely silent.
Although they were mentally prepared, hearing firsthand about Wan Shuisheng's ingenious, ruthless, and even completely detached murder process still sent chills down everyone's spine.
Guo Qian and Wei Jingfei frequently exchanged glances, and the two silently clenched their fists!
Damn it!
It's so abominable!
Wan Shuisheng's IQ is indeed very high!
Because what the other party said is indeed correct, everything at this point is just words, and there is no corresponding evidence to corroborate it.
That old snake was a beast too; it couldn't bring itself to admit whether what Wan Shuisheng had done was actually true!
Go ask Ge Erdan, who moved the iron bricks; he definitely won't know anything.
When asked, Zhao Jinzhong only offered to clean and polish Xu Sheng's windowpane.
Each of them is just a trivial detail in the murder case and cannot form the complete picture of the murder!
How should Wan Shuisheng be convicted?
The two were getting anxious, so they kept glancing at Li Xiangnan.
However, Li Xiangnan had no intention of arguing with Wan Shuisheng on this point. He cleverly avoided falling into the trap of Wan Shuisheng's logic and instead continued to flatter him, completing the final logical loop.
"Wan Shuisheng, your murder case is not without its flaws!"
He could tell that Wan Shuisheng was an extremely arrogant and confident guy!
Once his killer move is questioned, the other party will be eager to explain.
"..."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wan Shuisheng froze, frowning as he looked at the composed Li Xiangnan. "What do you mean? What have you discovered?"
Li Xiangnan chuckled and returned to the table.
Guo Qian and Wei Jingfei had already stood up, looking at him anxiously and hopefully, their hearts pounding in their throats.
They had a feeling that what Li Xiangnan was going to ask next would definitely help the case, pinpoint Wan Shuisheng's suspicion, and might even break his defenses, allowing them to directly classify the case.
At this moment, Li Xiangnan picked up the forensic examination report on the table.
"Wan Shuisheng, we detected long-term MDMA ecstasy in Xu Sheng's body, and the concentration reached its peak on the night of the incident. What does this mean?"
"..." Wan Shuisheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Li Xiangnan looked up at the other person, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
"This shows that the hallucinogenic dose you calculated, or rather, the murder design you devised, was not enough to trap Xu Sheng and force him to commit suicide..."
boom!
The most crucial information was revealed at this moment, causing Wan Shuisheng to subconsciously lift his buttocks off the chair. It was this action that made Li Xiangnan realize that he had guessed correctly.
He stared at Wan Shuisheng and said, word by word, "Just now you subconsciously said that you had Old Snake bring four things, but you only mentioned three! When you realized that your plan wasn't perfect, you immediately shut up! You thought I hadn't caught the loophole in your words, Wan Shuisheng, you thought your plan was flawless, but actually..."
At this point, Li Xiangnan suddenly burst into laughter, deliberately using extremely sarcastic language.
"You, Wan Shuisheng—are no good either! You brought a fourth thing, ecstasy poison that would truly make Xu Sheng hallucinate! Moreover, you were even afraid of encountering such a situation, so you notified Han Li in advance to help you open the cell door of the fourth prison block and complete the final killing move! You didn't say any of this—then I directly suspect that you are not the murderer who completed Xu Sheng's perfect locked-room murder case at all!"
boom!
Li Xiangnan's meticulous logic left Wan Shuisheng speechless and stunned on the spot.
"...You...how...how did you know..."
"No, you're talking nonsense. My plan was flawless. My murder was perfect, it was art. You don't understand, you don't understand!"
"Li Xiangnan, you bastard! I am the murderer, I am the murderer! I did all of this, I created the most exquisite and artistic murder case in history!"
"Is it?"
Faced with Wan Shuisheng's hysterical outburst, Li Xiangnan slowly curled his lips into a smile. "I don't believe it!"
