Chapter Eighty-Three: The Lonely Island 14
The gold leaf paper shone in the sun, and Ji Xun stared at it for a while and said, "Fortunately, everyone helped." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Where," the old lady waved her hand absently, "we all help each other, we can only make some small ones, and then they will be burned, and the Yu family has a large Linglong Tower, and whoever has a funeral on the island will have to go to his house to borrow it." ”
"The Great Linglong Tower?"
"Yes," the old lady put down her things and gestured with them, "It's about the same size as the real one, and it's made very similar, and it can be carried by people on the day of the funeral." ”
"That'...... Like a real tower, there is a mechanism opening and closing? ”
"You know this, yes, there are several in the Yu family, and they are all in their warehouse."
Chi Xun figured out the problem and said goodbye to the old lady. The two of them walked up the original route, "Han Yan, so that's the case." ”
"Well," Han Yan nodded, looking sideways at the sea, "Find a place to salvage, you should still be able to catch it." ”
While talking, the village chief hurriedly ran down and happened to bump into them: "Yo, Mr. Chi, Mr. Han." ”
"Village Chief," the two greeted him, but didn't get out of the way, Chi Xun looked at him and asked, "Village Chief, is this going to Yu's house?" ”
"Yes, I didn't expect such a big thing to happen in just two days, Mr. Yu should be back today. ...... you two? ”
"Oh, we want to go up and have a look. By the way, village chief, on the night we found Yujiayan's body, when we were walking up the mountain, we happened to run into you and Lady Uesugi mother and daughter, have you been together since you came out of the temple? ”
When the village chief heard Yujiayan's name, he shook his fingers in cringe, and then replied: "No, I came out of the house that night, and I met their mother and daughter coming out of the temple, and I was a little away from them...... When I crossed a tree, Chengyu's clothes were scraped by the branches, so I went to tidy up my clothes, and I went down by myself, and after a while, she and Eri both rushed over, and soon ran into you. ”
"Where did Mrs. Uesugi go to sort out her clothes?"
"Hmm...... We had just walked past the lookout, and she went there to tidy it up, and it only took a few minutes for her to come out in a while. ”
"That's it......" Chi Xun lowered his eyes slightly, Han Yan knew what he was thinking, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the back, and said to the village chief, "You want to go to the Yu family?" Let's go over together. ”
"Huh? You don't want to? The village chief pointed to the mountain, and Chi Xun curled the corners of his mouth very lightly, "No need now, we already know what we want to know." ”
When they arrived at the door, the village chief went to find Fu Bo, Chi Xun and Han Yan to enter the house. Yu Chengyu and Eri Uesugi sat by the window of the living room, and after several days of rain and finally it was sunny, and the warm winter sun came in through the window very gently, spreading a soft light on the person.
Yu Chengju was reading to her daughter, and when Han Yan and Chi Xun walked in front of them, she raised her eyes to look at them, her eyes were very peaceful, and then she turned her head and gently touched Eri Uesugi's head: "Good, you go upstairs to play by yourself for a while." ”
When Eri Uesugi went upstairs, she nodded to the two of them and said, "Please be seated." ”
"Miss Yu," Chi Xun sat across from her, his eyes were as quiet as lake water, and Han Yan sometimes felt that he almost loved such eyes, clear and compassionate. It is to see human nature clearly, not disgusted, but sympathetic. For the first time, he called Yu Chengju like this, "I have figured out something and want to tell you about it." ”
"Okay."
"On the night of Yujiayan's accident, you first wrote a letter in Chen Zhi's handwriting to lure her to the observation deck. Yu Jiayan hid on the lookout, because she wanted to see Chen Zhi, so she naturally avoided other people passing by. You come out of the temple and branch out of Eri Uesugi, but you accidentally meet the village chief, so you return to the observation deck alone on the pretext of tidying up your clothes, first knock Yujia smoke unconscious, and then strangle her with a silk scarf. You wore a purple silkscreen that day, and you wore it for dinner and when you went out, but when we met you in the evening, you didn't. ”
Chi Xun paused when he said this, because the silk scarf was not direct evidence, he gave Yu Chengju a chance to explain, but she didn't speak, so he continued: "You killed her and hid the body behind the door. Then I met Han Yan and me, and you said, 'We have just come down from the temple, and the temple is a little bit further up from the observation deck, and the village chief's house is near the temple.' This sentence misleads us and makes us mistakenly think that you, Eri Uesugi and the village chief have been together since the temple. Miss Jade, that's a good way to put it. Add to that the fact that the body is in the middle of a courtyard that can be seen at a glance, and the combination of the two creates your alibi. ”
"In the evening, when everyone is looking for Yujiayan together, you first step up to the observation deck, carry the body to the middle of the courtyard and on the cobblestone road, and then return to the door to light the lamp, giving us the impression that you have just arrived. When examining the body, you had been standing by the door at a distance from us, and at the time I thought you were afraid to approach, but now I understand," Ji Xun looked up at her, "You want to admire your work, and you may have the idea of avoiding me." You know who Han Yan and I are, in that kind of scene, you are afraid that you will not be able to fully control your expression, so stay away. ”
"As for the alibi evidence of Yu Jiamian's night, when you and Fu Bo passed by the pagoda, there was no skirt under the pagoda exposed, and after twenty minutes, we arrived there and found the body. So we thought that it was the murderer who hid the body in the tower during these twenty minutes, and during this time, you have been with Fauber, so naturally there are witnesses. However, what you did was actually hiding the corpse inside the tower, deliberately leaving a section of the skirt outside, and then covering the outer layer of the tower with the imitation tower used when making a dojo, the imitation tower covered the skirt, and nothing could be seen from the outside. When you and Faber passed by, they didn't pay much attention to the tower because there were no accidents, and it was too dark to notice the tower if you weren't careful. And when you walk there, you kick the stone that has tied the imitation tower and one end with a rope into the sea, and the stone drives the imitation tower to break away, so that when we pass by there, we see the skirt, and thus find the body of Yu Jiamian. ”
After Chi Xun said this, he stopped, but Yu Chengju still didn't say anything. Her eyes were a slightly pale shade of brown, almost watery in the sun.
