Chapter 10 Social Distance (Update )
Miss Sun was originally petite and frail, and now she was trembling with fear after being yelled at by Lu Shaoyin, just like the last leaf hanging on a tree branch in autumn, trembling in the autumn wind.
The people who were watching the fun felt a little bit sorry.
Lu Shaoyin was too aggressive towards this little girl! Did Lu Shaoyin think that she was the murderer?
How could such a little girl like a bean sprout kill someone? I guess this must be a mistake!
A bailiff standing nearby could not help but ask, "Lu Shaoyin, do you think Miss Sun has anything to do with this case? But didn't Coroner Chen just say that the deceased had wrestled with the murderer before she died? Look at Miss Sun's clothes, they are not torn at all, not even with obvious wrinkles. She doesn't look like she had wrestled with anyone, and... Miss Sun doesn't look like she could beat the deceased..."
Although the deceased was not a tall person, he was much taller than Miss Sun just by looking at his stature.
If these two people really fight, it's hard to say who will be killed in the end!
Not to mention, she would later have to subdue Shopkeeper Yuan and put him and the dead together!
Isn’t this as ridiculous as an ant killing an elephant!
Lu Shaoyin turned his head suddenly and growled angrily, "Shut up!"
Su Liuyue on the side: "..."
This Lu Shaoyin has such a hot temper. We can only be thankful that he is someone who is willing to listen to others.
Seeing that the yamen runner was yelled at and looked aggrieved, as if he wanted to speak but didn't dare to, Su Liuyue suddenly chuckled and walked forward and said, "This official is right. With Miss Sun's ability, it is impossible for her to complete this murder and frame-up. But who said that the murderer... is only Miss Sun?"
As soon as Su Liuyue said this, everyone present looked at her in astonishment.
At this time, Su Liuyue suddenly turned her head and looked at the pale-faced Shopkeeper Cao, and said word by word in a sonorous and powerful voice: "It should be said that the real murderer of this murder case is not Miss Sun, but Shopkeeper Cao. Miss Sun is just his accomplice!
The ones who really had an improper relationship were Shopkeeper Cao and Miss Sun, not the deceased and Shopkeeper Yuan! The deceased was killed because he realized this..."
"You...what are you talking about?!"
Instantly becoming the center of the crowd, Shopkeeper Cao shouted, "My dear, I have never met you before. How dare you slander me! How could I... how could I kill Yue Niang? Miss Sun and I have an innocent employment relationship! It's fine if you slander me, but how... how could you slander an innocent girl!
If you don't believe me, you can ask the other two guys in my shop! No matter which dynasty or generation of laws, there is no reason for you to slander people so casually! "
Su Liuyue raised the corner of her mouth and said in a cold voice: "Who said I was slandering you casually? Manager Cao, do you remember how your two employees reacted when I suddenly appeared behind them just now?"
Zheng Yaozu and Liu Ergui were stunned.
Others also looked at Su Liuyue in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly brought this up.
"The first time I saw you and Miss Sun standing together, I knew you had a special relationship!"
Su Liuyue said in a clear and calm voice: "If two people who don't know each other get too close to each other suddenly, they will definitely feel uncomfortable or even frightened, just like their reactions when I suddenly appeared behind your two guys just now!
However, when you came over, you appeared quietly behind Miss Sun. Miss Sun's reaction was not deceiving. When she suddenly found you behind her, she was just surprised for a moment, not frightened, nor nervous or panicked. She even avoided you calmly. How could such a reaction be possible for two people who are not familiar with each other! "This principle is called social distance in psychology.
When two people who are not very familiar with each other are together, the distance that makes them feel comfortable is 120 to 360 centimeters. This is called the courtesy distance. If it is less than 120 centimeters, people will feel uncomfortable as if their private space has been invaded.
The comfortable distance between friends, relatives or acquaintances is 45 to 120 cm, which is called private distance.
If the relationship between two people is closer, such as lovers or husband and wife, the distance they can accept will be shorter, usually 0 to 45 cm. Even worse, it is a negative distance, which is called intimate contact.
When Manager Cao came over just now, he was less than a palm's distance away from Miss Sun. Everyone present saw it!
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
It turned out that the girl had deliberately gotten so close to the two guys!
In this way, although the situations are obviously similar, the reaction of Miss Sun is so different from that of the two guys!
Shopkeeper Cao looked at Su Liuyue in shock. After a while, he seemed to find his voice again. "What kind of perverted logic is this? I have never heard of it before! How...how do you know this is not a coincidence? Just based on Miss Sun's reaction at that moment, you are sure that she and I have an affair, and that the people who committed this crime are me and her. It's too ridiculous!
Clearly, so much evidence points to Shopkeeper Yuan, and those evidences are more powerful than your twisted theories..."
"Who said this is my evidence?"
Su Liuyue looked at the ugly-looking Cao with a mocking expression, slowly walked to the body, and said: "This is just a lead to guide me to sort out all the truth.
I just discovered that the heels of the deceased's shoes were worn, indicating that the deceased was dragged here after death.
However, there was no wear and tear on Shopkeeper Yuan's shoes, and there was not even any obvious dirt. If, as Shopkeeper Yuan said, he was tricked into coming here and then knocked unconscious and placed next to the deceased, then the murderer would have needed to move him next to the deceased. If he was dragged there like the deceased, no matter how short the distance was, there would definitely be marks on his shoes.
But no, this means that the deceased was dragged here, and Shopkeeper Yuan was probably held in the air or carried on his back and placed next to the deceased."
The guards nearby were stunned. One of them couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper Yuan is much heavier than the deceased! Since the murderer has the strength to pick up or carry Shopkeeper Yuan, why didn't he just carry the deceased as well?"
Before Su Liuyue could even open his mouth to speak, Lu Shaoyin, who was standing beside him, hit him hard on the head, "Stupid! Isn't it obvious that the person who moved these two people was not the same person?! The deceased was dragged here by someone who couldn't hold her up, and Shopkeeper Yuan was let go by someone who could hold him up!"
He was really angry!
Even he could think of such a simple truth, but these idiots couldn't think of it? !
Ah, bah, bah, bah, what do you mean even he could think of it? With his smart mind, he could certainly think of these things! He just... just thought a little slower!
Su Liuyue glanced at Lu Shaoyin with a half-smile and said, "That's right, this just shows that there are probably two murderers. The one who dragged the deceased here was Miss Sun, and the one who knocked out Shopkeeper Yuan and put him next to the deceased was Shopkeeper Cao!
If it was Shopkeeper Yuan who killed Madam Ding, why did Shopkeeper Yuan drag her here? With Shopkeeper Yuan's size, he could definitely hold the dead person..."
"Nonsense! Nonsense!"
Shopkeeper Cao couldn't help but said loudly with a pale face, "What do you mean by dragging or carrying? How do you know if Yuan was too lazy to carry or hold the body, so he chose to drag it? The method of disposing of the body does not necessarily depend on the murderer's strength. Sometimes it may just be a matter of his thoughts. How can this be used as evidence!"
