"That's right. In fact, Fang Jia wasn't hanged and then strangled; she was strangled first and then hung from the chandelier by the murderer!
To cover up the fact that they strangled Fang Jia while she was hanging, the murderer went so far as to turn the entire room upside down to hide the truth! You can try it yourself. If Victim was strangled in a normal position, the thumbprints on Victim's neck should be facing upwards. But if the murderer hung from the chandelier and strangled the victim, then the thumbprints would be facing downwards.
So if the body wasn't strangled while hanging, there's only one possibility: the person hanging from the chandelier is actually the murderer!" Bei Chen announced loudly.
"Hanging while killing... that's just too..." I didn't even know what to say; my mind was in chaos.
"So the murderer must be someone who can hang from the chandelier—Teacher Liu. Last time in the office, I heard Teacher Wu mention that you practiced acrobatics when you were younger, right? Besides, you've been playing basketball with students all these years, so your physical fitness should be pretty good!"
Liu Ziqiang's face began to look very grim. He adjusted his emotions slightly and looked at Bei Chen: "What makes you think I killed Fang Jia? Just because I can do acrobatics? Your reasoning is too far-fetched!"
"Yes, Bei Chen, your reasoning is quite unreasonable. Even if what you say is true, why would the murderer need to hang while killing? And why go through all that trouble to set up the room in an upside-down manner? Wouldn't it be easier for the murderer to just stand and strangle Victim? That way, they wouldn't have to mess up the room like this!"
I also felt that Bei Chen was being too hasty in his conclusions.
Bei Chen didn't waver in his stance despite my doubts and countered me: "What if the murderer didn't initially plan to kill Fang Jia?"
"What do you mean...?"
"The murderer broke into Fang Jia's room without intending to kill her; they just wanted to take something from her house. But unexpectedly, Fang Jia, who had already left, returned home due to feeling unwell! Hearing the sound of the door opening, and with the room being so small, in a moment of panic, the murderer climbed up onto the chandelier to hide temporarily.
When Fang Jia entered the room and casually turned on the chandelier light, she noticed that it was dimmer than usual. Then she stood under it and looked up—I'm sure you all know what happened next!"
Indeed, Fang Jia saw the killer hanging from the lamp! The killer suddenly lost his composure; he noticed Fang Jia was about to scream and helplessly extended his hands!
"Is this all you have to accuse me of being the killer? That’s absolutely absurd! Don’t even think about framing me!" Liu Ziqiang shouted at Bei Chen in a fit of rage.
"Of course, there’s more than that!" Bei Chen turned to me, "Do you remember that Hungarian Flag?"
"I do. You mentioned that only this National Flag wasn’t upside down, which you found strange."
I replied, pointing to the wall behind me, "Look, that National Flag is still hanging there!"
"Exactly. The Hungarian Flag consists of three colors: red, white, and green from top to bottom. But why didn’t the killer turn this National Flag upside down? Did he simply overlook it? Impossible! This National Flag is so large that a normal person wouldn’t miss it. There’s only one possibility— the killer couldn’t turn this National Flag upside down!" Bei Chen spoke with great conviction.
"Couldn’t turn it upside down?"
"Yes, because in the killer's eyes, whether this National Flag is inverted or not makes no difference! Now do you understand? The killer is colorblind to red and green! So in his eyes, the red part and the green part of this National Flag are the same color, making it unnecessary for him to turn it upside down!"
— So that’s how it is!
