Chapter 15: The Fourth Man

Mengyun showed a suddenly realized expression, and she said, "Oh, no wonder when I saw you that morning, you looked like you were preoccupied, so that's the case!" ”

Dongmei nodded and said, "Actually, that day, I originally wanted to ask you about the case, but I was afraid of arousing your suspicion, so I couldn't help but ask." Later, when you asked me questions, I answered them perfunctorily. ”

"Oh, yes."

Dongmei seemed to suddenly remember something.

I saw her stand up and walk to the bed, lie on the ground again, and take out a dagger from under the bed.

Then she stood up and handed the dagger to Mengyun.

Mengyun reached out and took it, and put Dongmei's dagger and his own dagger together, and it was exactly the same.

Mengyun handed the dagger back to Dongmei.

Dongmei shook her head, she didn't reach out to take it.

I saw her smile bitterly and said, "This dagger will be placed with you in the future, it is useless to put it here for me." ”

Mengyun guessed Dongmei's thoughts, she smiled lightly, and said: "On the morning when I found out that Chun Tao died, if Sister had the courage to go out to see the excitement, she would know that this Chun Tao was there!" She was killed by the murderer with a quilt, not by a knife. ”

Hearing Mengyun say this, Dongmei's eyes widened for a moment.

She asked, somewhat disbelieving, "What?" What did you say? The murderer covered it with a quilt? I don't believe it, you must be lying to me. ”

Mengyun smiled again, she touched her chin, smiled evilly, and said, "Why should I lie to you!" Think about it, if you stick a knife in a living person, will she not react? Only the dead did not react. Awesome, my sister. Dead people dare to stab three times, don't say that you are cowardly in the future, I don't believe it. Hahaha......"

Mengyun covered her mouth and smiled......

At this moment, Dongmei felt that her head was a little big.

I saw that she showed a crying and laughing expression, and muttered: "How is this possible?" There is blood on my dagger. ”

Mengyun patiently explained to her: "Because of the continuous beating of the heart, the blood of the living person is also constantly flowing. If a knife is pierced into a living person's body, blood will splatter out of the wound when the knife is pulled out. And the blood of the dead is also still due to the cessation of the beating of the heart. When you stick a knife on a dead person, she doesn't react. And when you pull the knife out, only a small amount of blood will flow out with the wound. But it's not that she doesn't have blood! And when you put the dagger on Chun Tao's body, she just swallowed, understand? ”

Dongmei thought for a moment and nodded.

Then she threw out a difficult question: "Then who closed the door of Chun Tao's room?" ”

Mengyun thought for a moment and said an answer that Dongmei couldn't understand, "The fourth person." ”

Dongmei shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand.

Mengyun analyzed and said, "On the night Chun Tao died, there should have been four people who entered her room. The first one is Xia He, she went to find Chun Tao to quarrel. The second is the murderer, and the purpose of his visit is to kill Chun Tao. The third is you, and you know better than I do what you want to do. I don't know who the fourth one is, and I don't know the purpose of his visit. Why did he close the door of Chun Tao's room? I really don't know. ”

Dongmei sighed softly and said, "I really didn't expect that this case seems to be a bit complicated!" ”

Mengyun also let out a long sigh, and she said, "It's not a little complicated, it's quite complicated!" ”

Dongmei seemed to suddenly remember something, and she asked in a tentative tone, "Do you think this fourth person will be Qiulan?" ”

"Huh? Tell me, why do you suspect that the fourth person is her? ”

Mengyun showed an expression that wanted to hear it.

Dong Mei analyzed carefully: "The murderer will leave immediately after killing Chun Tao, instead of continuing to stay in the 'Fengyue Pavilion', then it must not be him who closes the door to Chun Tao." ”

Mengyun nodded in agreement.

Dongmei continued to analyze, she said: "The person who closed the door for Chun Tao is not me, and it can't be Chun Tao herself, then only Xia He and Qiu Lan are left." And Xia He had just quarreled with Chun Tao, and since she had already returned to the room, it was impossible for her to come out and quarrel with Chun Tao for the second time. So the fourth person who closed the door for Chun Tao could only be Qiu Lan. ”

Mengyun nodded first, then shook her head, she said, "What you said has some truth. That's what I think, listen to my analysis. If it was Qiulan who closed the door for Chun Tao, then when she stood at the door of Chun Tao's room, she would inevitably look at Chun Tao lying on the bed, and Chun Tao was covering her head with a quilt at that time. Under normal circumstances, people will not completely cover their heads with quilts when they sleep, because it will affect their breathing, and the air quality in the quilt is not good. For example, the unconscious leakage of air from the back door when a person is asleep, right? The most important point is that now is not a cold winter wax moon! She covers her head with a quilt, isn't she afraid of the heat? It is impossible for such an obvious anomaly, Qiu Lan not to see it. I think she must have approached out of curiosity to see what was going on. When she lifted Chun Tao's quilt and found that Chun Tao was dead, she would instinctively run out in a panic while yelling. Soon, everyone in the 'Fengyue Tower' knew that Chun Tao had been killed, and the time when Chun Tao's body was found was at that time and not the next morning. Therefore, the person who closed the door for Chun Tao should not be her. ”

Dongmei listened to Mengyun's analysis and muttered in her mouth: "Chun Tao covered her head with a quilt, such an obvious abnormality, why didn't I think much about it at the time?" ”

Mengyun sneered and laughed, and she said, "That's because you drank too much." ”

She thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm sure that the person who closed the door for Chun Tao, he knew that Chun Tao was dead, but he didn't say anything. He calmly closed the door of Chun Tao's room and left quietly, which was really incomprehensible. Why didn't he go to Aunt Feng and tell her the fact that Chun Tao was dead? Why did he pretend he didn't know anything? I really can't figure it out! ”

Dongmei blinked, and she said lightly: "What's wrong with this, the person you are talking about is the murderer!" Only after he killed people did he not make a noise, but left calmly. ”

Mengyun shook his head and retorted: "The murderer has already left after killing Chun Tao, so it is impossible for him to return to close the door for Chun Tao." Besides, there's no need for that! The next morning, regardless of whether the door of Chun Tao's room is closed or open, Liuzhu will find Chun Tao's body. ”

Dongmei asked tentatively: "Is it possible that the murderer was on the way back and suddenly found that he had lost something very important." He was afraid that he would be left in Chun Tao's room, so he hurried back to look for it. He searched carefully in Chun Tao's room, and finally found what he was looking for on Chun Tao's bed, such as the jade pendant he carried with him. Then after he found it, he closed Chun Tao's door when he left. ”

Mengyun nodded thoughtfully, and said, "There is such a possibility." ”

She thought for a moment, then said, "If it's a premeditated murder, it won't have to be. Because the murderer will definitely travel lightly before coming, he will not bring any other belongings except for the murder weapon. For example, a jade pendant or a fan, he was afraid of leaving any belongings that belonged to him at the scene of the killing. ”

Dongmei asked, "The murderer who killed Chun Tao, is he premeditated murder?" ”

Mengyun nodded and replied, "I think it should be." The murderer had long wanted to kill Chun Tao, and he was just waiting for a suitable opportunity. For example, when Chun Tao was drunk, she was alone in the room again, and it was much easier to kill her at this time than usual. ”

Dongmei continued to ask, "Then what is the murderer's motive for killing?" ”

Mengyun replied: "I think vendetta is the most likely, because Chun Tao's money and belongings have not been lost. ”

Dongmei thought about it and said with certainty: "Chun Tao is usually arrogant and domineering, and she has been rampant and domineering for many years in the 'Fengyue Tower', and there are many people who have offended. I'll just say this, except for Aunt Feng, almost no one likes her. ”

Mengyun scratched her head and said, "That means that except for Aunt Feng, everyone has a motive to kill her!" Because there are so many people who want to kill her, it's really a bit difficult to solve this case! ”

Dongmei smiled, encouraged her, and said softly, "What? Deflated? This is just the beginning! If you really like solving crimes, you should rise to the challenge, but don't back down! ”

Mengyun nodded vigorously, and she said, "I know, I will work hard, I will definitely try to find out the murderer as soon as possible." ”

There was a brief silence......

Dongmei saw Mengyun's frowning face, and knew that she must have thought of a key issue.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile secretly, she wanted to tease Mengyun.

I saw her eyes widen as if she had discovered a new continent, and mysteriously approached Mengyun and said in a low voice, "I know who the fourth person who entered Chun Tao's room is." ”

Hearing Dongmei's words, Mengyun's tightly knit brows relaxed. With an expectant expression on her face, she asked anxiously, "Who is it?" Hurry up. ”

Dongmei couldn't hold back, she smiled first, and she said in a trilled voice: "She is Chun Tao's 'ghost'." ”

Hearing Dongmei say this, Mengyun rolled her eyes, and she said, "You can pull it down!" You've read too much mythological novels. Girls' families, when they have nothing to do, play with embroidery or something, don't read those useless books in the future. ”

Dongmei smiled again, and she asked, "Then you say, who is this fourth person?" ”

Mengyun replied: "I only think of one possibility, but I'm not sure if this is the truth of the incident yet. ”

Dongmei's face showed an expression of wanting to hear the story, and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
