Just as the so-called world is called, there are no wonders.
Many times, when people delve deeper into the truth of a thing, it often surprises people.
There is no shortage of bizarre cases in the world, but there are some cases that even the police in charge of the investigation find strange and call outrageous.
In March 1994, a man named Opus in the United States committed suicide by jumping off a building, but when the police arrived at the scene to block the investigation, they found that the cause of his death was mysterious, and the result was unexpected.
suicide? homicide?
On March 23, 1994, the New York Police Department received a report that a man had committed suicide by jumping from the roof of a 10-story building.
After receiving the police information, the New York Police Department immediately dispatched police officers to the scene of the incident.
When they arrived at the scene of the accident, they found a 10-story building with a safety net on the 8th floor, and there was a person lying on the safety net, waiting for the police to get the person from the safety net to the ground, and the doctor diagnosed that the person was dead.
However, during the death examination of the deceased, the doctor found that the deceased's head was hit by a bullet, and it was the bullet that caused the man's death that hit the head.
With the deepening of the investigation, the police found a suicide note left by the deceased before jumping on the roof of the 10th floor, which roughly means that the deceased is not satisfied with life and cannot think of jumping off the building.
If according to the contents of the suicide note, the motive of the deceased to jump off the building to commit suicide is very clear. However, between the eighth floors, due to the construction and decoration of workers, the man fell into the safety net, jumped off the building to commit suicide, which is not established, and the shot in the head is the cause of death. How did the man die, did he commit suicide or did he kill him?
Could it be that when the deceased committed suicide, he stood on the edge of the building and shot himself in the head before falling down the building? The police did not rule out this possibility, but there were no guns and shell casings left at the scene, which can rule out the possibility of suicide shooting and falling down the building.
In view of the situation of the deceased, the police immediately listed the case as a homicide. The suicide note is likely to be forged, and jumping off a building is also an illusion, and it is likely that he fell off the building or was thrown down after being shot.
Where did the bullets come from?
After the police initially determined that the deceased was killed by him, the direction of the investigation began to go in another direction, first of all, to determine where the bullet on the deceased's head came from, the type of gun, and to investigate the interactions in the man's life.
The United States is known as the "country on the barrel of the gun", the gun ownership is one of the best in the world, of course, gun crime is also one of the most serious countries. Therefore, in order to crack the gun case, the police have a lot of talent in ballistics. By hitting the incision of the human body by the bullet, the trauma surface and the degree of deformation, it is not difficult for the AMERICAN police to lock the distance and approximate position of the suspect when the shot is fired.

Through the bullet study of the deceased's head, it was found that when the bullet hit the deceased, the bullet had already hit the object, that is to say, the bullet hit what it hit before hitting the deceased. Moreover, through investigation, the police found that when the deceased was shot, he was actually hit by a bullet in the process of falling, such a strange case, so many policemen feel incredible, which is also too coincidental.
Since the deceased was hit in the process of falling from the building, the deceased only fell to the eighth floor, and it is only possible that he was killed by a sudden bullet when he fell to the ninth floor.
When the police conducted a visit to the locations and households surrounding the conditional shooting on the 9th floor, the police did have an unexpected discovery.
It is the building where the man had an accident, in the 9th floor of the resident household, the glass of the family is broken, and the resident is two elderly people, belonging to the husband and wife, and the police also searched a gun without bullets in his home, after comparison, the bullet type and the gun completely matched, that is to say, the bullet shot by the gun killed the man.
If the gun belongs to the old man and the old man does shoot at the man, then waiting for the old man will be to face murder charges.
However, both elderly people denied shooting at the man and always insisted that their guns never had bullets, and through a lie detector, it was found that neither elderly man had lied. However, the bullet was indeed sent from the old man's home, where did the bullet come from?
Findings: Or suicide
On the other side, the identity of the man also surfaced, not someone else, it was the son of these two old men.
This makes the police more confused, on the one hand, the man was shot when he jumped off the building to commit suicide, and on the other hand, the suspect pointed to the parents of the deceased, but the two elderly people did not have a motive for killing after investigation.
While the police were struggling to find answers, the presence of a key witness turned things around. The witness was none other than two elderly people's neighbors.
Through the shell casings found in the room, the police successfully extracted the fingerprints of the deceased on the shell casings, confirming that the neighbors' statements were not false, and the bullets were indeed loaded by the deceased. With a deeper investigation, things finally became clear. The police eventually determined that Ops committed suicide.
It turned out that the two old men had been together for decades, there was a quarrel, and when the quarrel was in a hurry, the old man would always use the gun to scare the old lady, but there was no bullet, so many years, the gun had no bullets, and both people knew.
According to the old man, two months before the accident of his son Opus, Opus once asked the old lady for money and goods, but the old lady strictly refused, and the mother and son had a fierce quarrel, at that time, according to the old woman's recollection, the son Ops threatened to kill the old lady, and the old lady did not take it seriously, thinking that it was just talk. No, Opus really wanted to kill.
He knew that his parents quarreled, and his father always liked to pull the trigger with a gun pointed at his mother, although there was no bullet, but it seemed to be a means of venting for his father. So in order to achieve the goal of killing his mother and escaping responsibility, he secretly loaded a bullet in the gun, intending to shoot and kill his mother the next time his parents quarreled, which can be described as a good move to "borrow a knife to kill". But for two months in a row, the old two were at peace with each other and did not quarrel.
Perhaps out of desperation for life, on March 23, 1994, Opus decided to commit suicide by jumping off a building, but the location of his jump made the police suspect that he had the intention of "putting on a show" because there was a safety net underneath. What Opus was doing on the roof of the building, the old couple did not know, because at this time they were arguing again.
But sometimes, it was such a surprising coincidence that when Ops jumped off the building, his father raised his gun and pulled the trigger on his mother, and the bullet did not hit his mother, but instead hit the window glass and flew out, hitting Ops, who had fallen to the 9th floor, and it was a headshot.
The case was full of twists and turns, and it was rated as one of the top ten most bizarre news by the United States that year.
The bullet that Ops intended to use to kill his mother eventually flew into his head because of a mistake. Ops eventually killed himself.
