[Boutique] absence certificate

First, the "temporal" absent certificate

1, dial watch

Explanation: Find a witness to accompany you, wait for the opportunity to dial his watch, and then find an excuse to leave the murderer and come back at the appropriate time, so that the witness can give evidence of your absence at that time. This is one of the most viable methods in reality, but it is also easy to see.

2, recording

Description: Record the voice of someone or something that can represent the time, and set it to play automatically at a certain time. However, the practical feasibility is generally not high. After all, the human ear is not so easy to be confused with the voice of a real person.

Example: Jin Tianyi's "Opera Killing Event". In this incident, because the recording was transmitted from a distance, it is not easy to distinguish it from the real voice, and its ingenuity lies in the use of thick curtains. .

3, exhibits

Note: If the appearance of an item at the crime scene can represent a certain period of time, then trying to use a small trick on this item can confuse the time judgment.

Example: Jin Tianyi's short article "Who Kills the Goddess", cut a goddess into two halves, using their left and right sides to disguise them as two goddesses. Jin Tianyi's novel "The Case of the Evil Zongguan", a book is clearly in front of everyone, but in fact only a thick envelope, the pages inside have been torn off!

4. "At this time of the day, today is a year ago"

Explanation: The murderer seems to have evidence of absence at the time of the crime, but in fact it only uses something that will repeat in a certain period of time to testify.

Example: Conan's "Eve of the Night Before the Night Sacrifice" is an annual eve festival; Jin Tianyi's "Shui Shui Lingxiang Abduction and Killing" is a noon bell that sounds every day.

5, from "hard after death" to make an article

Description: Use some methods to change the degree of hardness of the body after death, thus affecting the judgment of the forensic death time.

Examples: Conan's "Little Goro's Alumni Association Killing Incident" and "Sherlock Holmes Hobbies Killing".

Second, "location" absent certificate

1, hidden shortcuts

Explanation: The murderer left the crowd for a shorter period of time than the shortest time required to travel to and from the murder scene, thus obtaining evidence of absence, but the fact is that the murderer used a hidden shortcut. Many people think of this idea, but it is not so simple to hide this shortcut completely.

Example: The ice bridge in Jin Tianyi's "Snow Night Fork Legend Killing" is perfect. There is also the "Astronomy Treasure Legend Killing Event" is an excellent example of the use of the "shortcut".

2. The body transferred afterwards

Explanation: The reason for the murderer to obtain evidence of absence is the same as above - not enough time to return to the scene of the murder. But it was a fake murder scene! The body was shipped there afterwards.

Example: Jin Tianyi's "Sorrowful Island Legend Homicide", the full wall covered with chicken blood instead of human blood is the "live" of the blood, and finally destroyed the corpse with a fire. The highlight of the "Ghosts and Killers" is the way to transport the bodies.

3, change the killing distance

Explanation: It seems that the deceased who was killed by melee is actually the murderer who started from a distance! Or the victim seems to be shot from a distance, but the murderer is the hand beside him.

Example: Conan's "TV Killing Incident" is like a near-real distance, while "The Death of a Detective" and "The Kudo New York Incident" are far-sighted.

4. "Ask the wrong room"

Description: The high-level tricks that are common in secret room murders, "accepting the wrong room", can also be used in the proof of absence.

Example: Detective Academy Q "The Tragedy of Kailuan Island" uses the limbs and footprints of the deceased to draw the wrong room.

Third, "personality" is not present

1. Witnesses lie

Explanation: In the most common situation in reality, the murderer only needs to buy the witness to make false testimony beforehand. However, this low-level tactical novelist generally disdains to use it, and it must be done with a very unexpected effect.

Example: Agatha Christie's classic "Oriental Express Murder", you can never guess how many people have panicked!

2, forensic lies

Explanation: The role of "forensic" plays a decisive role in the reasoning drama. Because the time of death of its judgment directly determines the proof of absence of everyone, therefore, in traditional reasoning, forensic doctors are generally not allowed to lie. But occasionally there are forensic doctors to make false certificates, even the forensic doctor is the murderer.

Example: Conan's "Moon Shadow Island Murder".

3. "Affirm the wrong person"

Description: One of the most commonly used tricks in mystery. The low-level and practical way is that the murderer bought a person in advance and dressed up in another way to show up elsewhere; the advanced technique has the murderer and the deceased's reciprocal appearance, the two dead's reciprocal appearance, and the splicing of the limbs. In addition, twins are generally not allowed in the mystery novels.

2 absence certificate

Examples: Conan's "Good Profit Tracking", "National Little Teacher Killing Incident", Jin Tianyi's "The Killing of the Alien Pavilion Village", "The Incident of the Flying House". The most classic is Christy's "Sin in the Sun".

4, bitter meter

Explanation: The murderer first pretended to be injured, unable to act and obtain proof of absence. The doctor had not completed the murder in the time he had arrived, and returned to the "injured" area and then actually injured himself.

Example: Conan "Monster Godzilla Killing", Christy "The Massacre on the Nile."

5, pretending to be killed

Explanation: I personally give the highest evaluation method! Because as long as everyone thinks that you are "dead", it forms an extremely favorable environment in which I am dark and everyone is clear. When you kill someone later, if you want to blame someone, you will pick him up without a proof of absence. If you want to cause panic, you can find a time when everyone has proof of absence. Manipulating the overall situation, handy. People will certainly not doubt the head of a "dead"! It is a very difficult thing to do to make others convinced that you are "dead".

Examples: Jin Tianyi's "Sorrowful Lake Legends Murder", Jin Tianyi's novel version of "Ghost Island Killing", Christie "No Life".

6, "personally called traps"

Explanation: This is a small trick that the author deliberately misleads the reader. Like Jin Tianyi's novel "Ghost Ship Killing Event", the "Captain's Diary" keeps saying "Daughter", and we completely lead us to the road from the beginning. What's more, can you imagine that the first person in the novel, "I", will commit crimes? There are such examples in the works of Christie and Henggou Zhengshi, and others are screaming! In order to avoid reducing the interest of everyone reading. I will not say the name of the work, let's find it yourself.

Fourth, "mechanical" absent certificate

The so-called "mechanical" tricks should not be independently a type of technique. They are infiltrated into the proof of "temporality" and "location".

1. Natural force agency

Description: Using natural forces such as cold and heat, an "event" occurs automatically.

Examples: Conan in the "Twenty Years of Killing" of Conan, "The Killing of the National Teacher", the use of low temperature to break the rubber band, the mosquito coil in Jin Tianyi's novel "The New Opera's Killing Event", and the "Shanghai Mermaid Legend Killing Event" Illuminated with a spotlight to dissolve the ice.

2, silk-line organs

Description: The use of unobtrusive, tough thin lines such as fishing lines, etc., to implement remote control.

Examples: Conan's "Magic Lovers Killing Event", "The Big Dipper No. 3 from Ueno", "The Meaningful Music Box"...

3. Electrification agency

Description: Make proof of absence using the characteristics of various electrical appliances in daily life.

Example: In an event in a deep mountain in Conan, a short-circuit power outage was made with an air conditioner with a preset running time. In the murder of the new doctor's home, the murderer used the switch between the telephone host and the extension to create the illusion that he did not leave.

4. "Suicide" institutions

Description: A killing trap that allows the deceased to open on their own. But this trick is the easiest to understand.

Example: In Conan's "Sherlock Holmes murder", the murderer released the car's oil and then induced the victim to light a lighter in the car. In the "Video Recorder Killing Event", the force of the video recorder popped up to put the vase on the victim's head.
