009. The Puzzle of the Deadly Fall

After getting on the scaffolding, Qiao Feng carefully explored the way ahead.

He protected his wife and daughter behind him, guarding against any danger.

Above the stairs is an iron platform.

The platform is not very narrow, with a width of about two meters.

There are only handrails on the side close to the inner side of the platform, and there are no ones close to the stage.

Looking down, Chen Luofan's lower body was lying on the stage. The lifting lamp used as a prop was hanging about fifty centimeters next to the platform.

Lao Xu stood at the edge of the platform and carefully looked at the rust under his feet. He frowned and his gloved hand gently touched the iron plate under his feet.

"It should be certain now that this poor child is really alive before falling."

Qiao Feng's words made Old Xu nod pertinently... Then, Captain Xu jumped up immediately!

"Well, don't be so excited. Don't worry, Lao Xu, I won't disturb you. It's just because of professional instinct. No matter what, I'm still eating the detective. Even if it's for our detective firm to accumulate experience in the future, what about it?"

Qiao Feng smiled and let Xia Yu slowly rub over behind him, looking at the traces of rust being scratched on the platform.

After Old Xu snorted, he finally made acquiescent. This also made the new police officer who followed him breathe a sigh of relief.

Xia Yu in Qiao Feng's arms carefully looked at the scratches and powder.

Then, she began to recall everything she observed after Chen Luofan fell from the sky.

The deceased was wearing a prince's costume, with nothing unclean and very neatly dressed. He was wearing makeup on his face, his hands and feet were tied up behind his back, and a piece of tape was placed on his mouth.

This should prove that before death, the boy was in a situation where he could not escape and could not call for help.

However, the gaps in his fingers were covered with rust. It was obvious that he had tried to struggle before falling down. The rust on the platform also proved this.

Qiao Feng quietly hugged his wife, allowing her to safely poke her upper body out of the platform and look at the corpse below.

After a while, Xia Yu's arm was twisted a few times, and Qiao Feng quickly pulled her back from the edge of the platform and held her in his arms.

"Anyway, it can be confirmed that the victim was murdered now. This can be seen from the fact that his hands and feet were tied backwards. In addition, he was still alive before he fell down."

Lao Xu touched the stubble on his chin and frowned-

"But who pushed him down from here? According to the two students, the only entrance and exit of this platform was always guarded before the victim was pushed down, and no one was going up and down. In this case, who killed the child? Or... it was the two children who lied or didn't see it? They lied that no one came down from above, but for some reason, they didn't tell the truth?"

Old Xu raised his head, his eyes sharp and bright. When Qiao Xue was a little embarrassed when he saw that the bald uncle had begun to doubt his classmates based on these things.

"Why? Bald uncle, why do you say that you have no basis to me? Is there any reason for his meow?"

"Xiaoxue!"

After being scolded by Qiao Feng, Xiaoxue pouted again, looking very unhappy. She leaned over to Xia Yu, took her mother's little hand and shook it gently, and said, "Mom, say something fair. Why does this old man like to doubt the people around me when he is fine? Last time he suspected Lao Zhao, this time he suspected Xiao Li and Xiao Xu? Then what about next time? Should he doubt me directly?"

Xia Yu squinted her eyes and smiled.

After pondering for a few words about her daughter's spoiled sex, she started asking.

"Xiaoxue, I want to ask. Who can come in on this platform? "

Qiao Xue was stunned. She pretended to be an orangutan and reached out to scratch her head: "Well, as long as there is a key to the backstage, anyone can come in."

Xia Yu nodded, and she raised her head and looked at Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng smiled and spread her hands, telling her not to worry about anything she wanted to say.

"In this case, who has the backstage key to the auditorium?"

After thinking about it, Qiao Xue took out an electronic magnetic card from her pocket, shook it in front of everyone, and said, "This is the key. Because there are many valuable items such as performance costumes, cosmetics, lighting, etc. in the backstage. So if you need to use it, you must register with the school. The school will send the electronic magnetic card according to the number of people you need. I think everyone in the drama department should have it, right? You can ask Li Shuaixi about this matter, he is a drama business, and he is usually doing the miscellaneous things in our drama department."

Old Xu over there couldn't help but feel a little expectation when he heard Xia Yu's question. He looked at Xia Yu's little mouth as if he was praying that he could dig out some secrets.

However, Xia Yu did not open her mouth directly. She pulled Qiao Feng's clothes, Qiao Feng lowered her head and let her ears stay in front of Xia Yu's little mouth for a moment.

Then he smiled and nodded.

"Old Qiao! What did your wife say?"

Faced with Lao Xu's impatientness, Qiao Feng nodded and said, "Basically, there are two things that can be sure of. First, the person who killed Shen Luofan is indeed from the Drama Department. If you want to enter the Drama Department, you must have a key. And we also saw Shen Luofan this morning, so if you want to tie him up and transport him to it, you must be one of the members of the Drama Department with the key."

"Second, that is, if you want to kill him, you don't need to push him."

Qiao Feng pointed to the hanging light stands next to him and said, "Xiaoxue, these lights should be under control, right? They will automatically fall after the scene has been in progress for a certain period of time."

Qiao Xue nodded.

Qiao Feng continued: "That's simple. The prisoner just put a rope around the child's neck and tied the other end of the rope to the light stand. Then, when the time comes, the light stand starts to pull down. Naturally, he will pull the poor child away from the platform and fall directly."

"The only people who can use this to kill people are the Drama Department and others who know that this lighthouse will be used in this stage play. In this way, anyone can set up such a not-so-smart mechanism to push the child into the altitude of death."

Old Xu turned his head and looked at the lamp stand there.

On the lamp stand, the rope that directly broke Chen Luofan's head and body was still hanging there. There was still a little blood sticking to the rope.

After the new police officer took the photo of the rope, he stretched out his hand, hooked the rope back, untied it, and placed it in front of Qiao Feng, Xia Yu, Qiao Xue, and Lao Xu.

"Let my wife take a closer look?"

"Oh, yes!"

As soon as Qiao Feng finished speaking, the newcomer had not waited for Lao Xu to see clearly, and handed the blood-stained rope to Xia Yu.

And this almost reflective action naturally made the poor new police officer scold and shivered beside him and shivered.

The rope is a dead knot, very tight.

The rope is a very ordinary hemp rope. For a stage backstage, there are so many such hemp ropes that are outrageous. It is probably unlikely to find the suspect from the origin of the rope.

In the ink blue eyes, the deadly rope stained with blood was reflected.

There was a little white powder on the side of the rope, I don’t know what it was.

“What are these?”

Qiao Feng pointed at the white powder and asked.

Old Xu also came over to take a look, but soon, he took out the evidence bag, carefully took off some white powder packaging, and handed it over to the newcomer next to him.

"Take it for identification."

"yes!"

As for Xia Yu...

She didn't speak, and the expression on her face did not change at all.
