Chapter 85 The Strange Attic
Zhang Minglei took the lead on the wooden ladder.
Liu Ling, Shui Bingyu, and Zhang Mingyuan followed closely.
Wang Xiaodong hesitated slightly, but finally followed.
It was still pitch black in the windowless attic.
Zhang Minglei's flashlight shone in, and Liu Ling behind him suddenly screamed loudly.
Shui Bingyu hurriedly followed the light and looked forward, in the middle of the attic, facing the position of the stairs, there was a person sitting against the wall, his eyes wide, facing the stairs in horror, as if he was looking at the people who came upstairs with resentment!
Jiang Xiaoou!
To be more precise, it is Jiang Xiaoou's corpse!
The face that was originally fair and delicate was already iron-blue, and his eyes seemed to have seen something scary, and he was frightened!
There was no blood on the ground, and there was no blood on Jiang Xiaoou's body, judging from the scene, Shui Bingyu felt that Jiang Xiaoou was poisoned to death!
Wang Mingyuan, who was following behind, asked, "What's wrong, what do you see?"
Liu Ling's voice trembled and said, "It's Jiang Xiaoou." ”
Immediately, a male voice burst into tears, it was Wang Xiaodong, he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, and cried bitterly in front of several other people.
"Why are you so sad? I saw that when your wife disappeared, you were not so sad!" Wang Mingyuan looked back at Wang Xiaodong and said.
Shui Bingyu ignored Wang Xiaodong, who was crying bitterly, she walked to Jiang Xiaoou's body, asked Zhang Minglei to shine it with a flashlight, she took out the rubber gloves she carried with her, and after putting them on, she began to carefully examine Jiang Xiaoou's body.
The body did not have any wounds on the surface, so there was no blood on the clothes.
Judging from the already blue face and the skin of the hands, it should have been poisoned.
Shui Bingyu followed the light and looked around the corpse again, and suddenly, she found that on the floor near the right hand of the corpse, there was a word that seemed to be written in blood.
Shui Bingyu hurriedly asked Zhang Minglei to shine a flashlight on that word, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be the word "east"!
Who wrote this?
Shui Bingyu hurriedly picked up Jiang Xiaoou's right hand and looked at it, only to see that there was a small wound on the tip of her right index finger, could it be that this word was written by Jiang Xiaoou before he died?
Wang Xiaodong?
Could it be that Jiang Xiaoou was killed by Wang Xiaodong?
She wrote this before she died to tell us?
Or was it written by the murderer?
Is he suggesting that the next person to go missing will be Wang Xiaodong?
Perhaps it was strongly stimulated, and Shui Bingyu's head hurt violently again.
Who was it? Who killed Jiang Xiaoou? Could it be Wang Xiaodong? Why did he kill Jiang Xiaoou?
Even if Shui Bingyu really had a sharp mind, it was impossible for her to come up with any answers at this moment, not to mention that she was struggling to stay awake in the sudden headache.
But one thing is almost certain, if Jiang Xiaoou was indeed killed, then the murderer was among the remaining five people.
Unless, there's a killer in this house that they haven't been able to see yet!
Or did Jiang Xiaoou commit suicide by taking poison himself?
If it was suicide, what secret did she have to commit suicide? Could it be because of Luo Dan's disappearance? Why did she choose to commit suicide when Luo Dan had been missing for only a few hours, and it was far from the time when she had given up hope? Even if Luo Dan's disappearance had something to do with her, there was no evidence to prove why she committed suicide in fear of sin?
But if he killed, who of the five of them had such a deep grudge against her?
No, with Luo Dan, they should be seven people living in a wooden house together.
Now, Luo Dan is missing.
Luo Dan, who is close to despair of this marriage, has the most motive to kill Jiang Xiaoou, but as her best friend, she took away her husband!
Will Luo Dan lose control of his emotions and kill Jiang Xiaoou?
Moreover, until now, they have not found any whereabouts of Luo Dan, is she really missing?
Or did she not leave, hiding somewhere, for example, in the attic.
By the way, Shui Bingyu remembered what Luo Dan said, could it be that she discovered the secret passage in the attic, hid herself, and saw Jiang Xiaoou coming up, thinking that she was waiting for Wang Xiaodong's tryst, and killed her emotionally out of control for a while?
Then, she wrote the word "East" again, and wanted to continue to kill Wang Xiaodong!
But where is the secret passage?
Zhang Minglei, Wang Xiaodong, Wang Mingyuan, Liu Ling, everyone is possible.
Zhang Minglei, originally suspected that Luo Dan's disappearance was related to Jiang Xiaoou, if he really had an affair with Luo Dan, of course it was possible, but he first looked for clues in the kitchen, and then talked in Shui Bingyu's guest room, and there was no time to commit the crime.
And Wang Xiaodong, Wang Mingyuan and Liu Ling, what was their motive for killing Jiang Xiaoou?
Shui Bingyu had a splitting headache at this time.
Zhang Minglei's voice shouted behind him: "Dong, Wang Xiaodong, did you kill Jiang Xiaoou?"
It seems that he also saw the red "east" on the floor.
"What, are you a murderer?" Wang Mingyuan also shouted in surprise.
"I, how could I be a murderer!" Wang Xiaodong said with a little choked up.
"It's not you? Then why is there a word "east" on this floor? Isn't it Jiang Xiaoou who wrote it down before he died, wanting to tell us who the murderer is?" Zhang Minglei asked sharply.
"Oh, I know, you must think that your wife's disappearance has something to do with Jiang Xiaoou, because you listened to me, I saw Jiang Xiaoou follow Luo Dan to the attic last night! So, you asked Jiang Xiaoou to ask her to tell her about your wife's whereabouts, Jiang Xiaoou didn't say it, you killed her in a fit of anger!" Wang Mingyuan thought that his analysis was very reasonable.
"How could I kill Jiang Xiaoou!" Wang Xiaodong said excitedly.
"Why can't you kill her?" Shui Bingyu suddenly asked coldly.
"I, I, I and her, anyway, I can't kill her!" Wang Xiaodong swallowed.
It seems that what Zhang Minglei said is true, Wang Xiaodong and Jiang Xiaoou really have an improper relationship!
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you say it? Don't you have the face to say it?" Zhang Minglei said fiercely.
"When is it, in order to dispel everyone's concerns about you, you still told us!" Shui Bingyu also said coldly.
"Me and Jiang Xiaoou, we are lovers! How can you say that I will harm her?" The matter has come to this, Wang Xiaodong has no choice but to tell the truth.
"What? You two are actually in this relationship!" was Wang Mingyuan, who was the first to say in surprise.
"Hmph! I know my face but I don't know my heart! Jiang Xiaoou is so good to Luo Dan on the surface! In fact, he actually did the trick of hooking up with other people's husbands behind his back! It's really shameless!" Liu Ling also looked angry.
"I said, why are you so sad to see Jiang Xiaoou dead! It turns out that you two have this kind of relationship! No wonder I didn't see you so sad when Luo Dan disappeared! Could it be that the two of you joined forces to kill Luo Dan, and now Luo Dan's ghost has come back to take revenge on the two of you? Maybe you will be next! The word 'east' on the floor is a reminder!" Wang Mingyuan said as if he had insight into everything.
What age is this, thanks to Wang Mingyuan, he can still think of the plot of ghost revenge!
Shui Bingyu couldn't help but secretly feel funny.
However, when I looked at Wang Xiaodong's expression again, he was terrified!
Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, is Luo Dan's disappearance really related to him and Jiang Xiaoou!
Here, Zhang Minglei has already begun to knock on the floor in the attic, and he is also looking for the secret way that Luo Dan said.
"You guys come over and take a hand to move Jiang Xiaoou's body to a place out of the way. Shui Bingyu said to Wang Mingyuan and Wang Xiaodong.
"Don't wait for the police to come?" Wang Mingyuan asked.
"When will the police come here?" Besides, I'm the police, and I have a general understanding of the crime scene, so you can move it!" Shui Bingyu said.
The two walked over slowly, especially Wang Xiaodong, who looked like he couldn't open his legs.
Finally walked to the corpse, and the two reached out together to move Jiang Xiaoou's corpse to the innermost wall of the attic.
Zhang Minglei has also knocked on the floor of the attic, but still nothing has been found.
"Everyone is tired today, let's go back to the living room to rest for a while!" Shui Bingyu felt that her head was getting more and more painful, so she suggested.
Several people didn't want to stay in this eerie attic, and hurriedly climbed down the stairs one by one.
As soon as they returned to the living room, several people were slumped on the sofa, silent.
Shui Bingyu felt that her mind was full, and at the same time it was blank.
Two days after moving into the wooden house, everything happened as if in a dream. Someone is missing, someone is dead, someone is betrayed, someone is deceived, everything is confusing, only the headache that strikes is the most real.
Where did Luo Dan go?
Did Jiang Xiaoou commit suicide or did he kill him?
Is Wang Xiaodong the murderer? or the next victim?
Troubled by these problems, Shui Bingyu suddenly felt a cramping pain in her abdomen, and her mouth was dry, and she realized that she was hungry and thirsty.
"We have to eat something, drink something. Shui Bingyu broke the silence in the room.
Zhang Minglei stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen together." ”
Five men went to the kitchen and inspected what little food they had left: three bowls of instant noodles, four bags of mustard, two bags of bread, a bucket of fresh milk, and four packets of soda crackers.
These are the only food they have left, and it is estimated that they will have to run out of food tomorrow!
"If we have all this to eat, we would have starved today! Zhang Minglei looked at all the food piled on the table and said.
Is there anything worse than this?
Shui Bingyu felt very bad at the time, but she never thought that the development of events would be so miserable later. It's really worse.
The five of them simply ate a little, but they didn't dare to eat enough, and left some food enough for tomorrow's breakfast.
"Tonight, let's all go back to our rooms to sleep, let's all sleep on the sofa in the living room!" Shui Bingyu said.
The successive accidents of Luo Dan and Jiang Xiaoou have scared the other four people a lot, and even Wang Mingyuan, who has always been a hero, did not raise any objections.
The power had been cut off in the wooden house, and the five of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room, all silent, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Shui Bingyu fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by a scream!
Shui Bingyu opened her eyes and saw Liu Ling, who was lost in her soul, running out of the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" Shui Bingyu hurriedly asked.
"Wang Xiaodong. She said in shock.
"What's wrong with Wang Xiaodong?" Shui Bingyu also asked with some uneasiness.
"Wang Xiaodong, he's dead!" Liu Ling finally said tremblingly.
