"I don't know!" Yue Tong shook his head and said.

"Don't you really know?" Chu Mufeng said in a deep voice.

Yue Tong turned to look at Chu Mufeng, and said calmly: "Officer Chu, when I was studying, Zhao Dapeng and they were not all the way, so I didn't know much about the matter between them and Chen Jianghe. Later, it was learned that Chen Jianghe hanged himself and did not die, but the specific reason is not clear. ”

"Oh!"

Since Yue Tong said this, Chu Mufeng did not continue to ask.

As he continued to move forward, Sun Xiaolong came up and asked in a low voice, "Detective Chu, I want to ask, did you really see the assailant wearing the patient costume of Xihua Hospital at that time?" ”

"Why, didn't you see that?" Chu Mufeng asked rhetorically.

"All I saw was Zhao Dapeng, who was already dead, and then I was so scared that I didn't care about anything else!" Sun Xiaolong shook his head and explained.

"Yes, what I saw was indeed the patient clothing of Xihua Hospital, because before coming here, I had just accompanied Jiang Yi to Xihua Hospital, and the red letters on my chest should be the words Xihua Hospital."

"Also, I want to ask, do any of you know about the Xihua Garden of this half-string hotel, or what is the relationship between the former tuberculosis patient sanatorium and Xihua Hospital?" Chu Mufeng threw out this doubt.

"I don't know much about that." Sun Xiaolong pouted and said.

"It must have just been a coincidence!" Yue Tong hadn't thought too much about this.

"Hopefully!"

Almost an hour later, the three of them finally reached the top of the cliff and saw the fallen telephone pole.

At this time, the wind blowing in the air had become a little stronger, and the strong wind blew their eyes subconsciously, and the flowers and trees on the ground were also blown to the ground.

"You see, the telephone bars here have been destroyed! The phone line has also been cut! In other words, from now on, we have no way to contact the outside world! Chu Mufeng's face sank slightly.

The traces of deliberate vandalism are too obvious.

"Can't it be fixed?" Sun Xiaolong looked at the cut telephone line and asked urgently.

Chu Mufeng took the cut telephone cord and said: "Repair can naturally be repaired, but we are not professionals, and we don't have the necessary tools and equipment, how can we repair it?" ”

"In that case, this assailant really wants to trap us all here." Yue Tong said with a little apprehension.

"You say it's all right! Why don't you have the rest of the ships in this half-string hotel? After all, this is Xiaoxian Lake, just a lake, if there are boats, we can row out! ”

Sun Xiaolong was a little depressed when he thought of this, and he also despised Dong Zhuo's slamming of the door, he had never seen such a miser-like boss.

"Let's go back first, I feel that the wind here is getting stronger and stronger, maybe it will rain again!" Chu Mufeng stood up straight, looked at the gloomy sky, and said.

"Well, let's go back to the hotel!"

"Let's go back quickly, I don't feel safe outside."

……

In the church opposite Xihua Garden.

A mysterious man was standing quietly, looking up at the towering ceiling, his eyes full of hideousness.

"Everything is going according to my plan, and now if you hang this corpse up again, they will all believe that what happened in the room is not an illusion at all, but a real thing, which will make them even more frightened! Hmph, you all deserve to die, and the guilty deserve to be killed! ”

After saying this, the mysterious man followed suit.

In a few moments, a corpse was hung from the beam of the church.

"Alright, it's okay!"

The mystery man looked down at his watch, it's half past three in the afternoon, I hope you can see this corpse sooner, then my performance will be even more exciting.

A satisfied sneer appeared on the corner of the mysterious man's mouth.

……

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

After Chu Mufeng and the others returned to the hotel, they separated, each looking for their own companions.

After everyone knew that the phone line was cut and there was no way to contact the outside world for the time being, they all became a little panicked, after all, this matter was too mysterious.

In the auspicious room.

Chu Mufeng came here as soon as he came back, and he always felt that there were clues hidden here that he hadn't discovered.

After all, this is the scene of the first crime, and if you leave any clues, it may help solve the case.

"Is this room really the same as when I first arrived?"

Chu Mufeng thought so in his heart, so he began to check it carefully and carefully.

This time he didn't miss a single corner, searching up and down, inside and out.

"Brother Chu!"

A few minutes later, just as Chu Mufeng had just stood up and taken a breath, Jiang Yi knocked on the door from the outside and pushed the door in, and said with a somewhat nervous face: "You hurry up and come out and take a look, something strange is wrong!" ”

"Strange things? What's wrong? Chu Mufeng sighed in his heart, could it be said?

"It's snowing outside!" Jiang Yi pointed outside and said.

"Snowing?"

This made Chu Mufeng also a little stunned: "What did you say?" Snowing? Impossible! It's only the beginning of October, so how can it be said that it will snow? ”

"Look outside!" Jiang Yi pointed to the window.

Following her fingers, Chu Mufeng's eyes widened.

It's weird, it's really snowing outside.

Through the window, you can clearly see countless snowflakes falling from the sky, sprinkling all over the ground.

"How can it snow?" Chu Mufeng muttered to himself.

"Brother Chu, do you think it is really who has any grievances, so there is such a thing of flying snow in late autumn?" Jiang Yi thought about it and said cautiously.

"Do you also believe in those gods and ghosts? Don't believe that, it's all a lie. Let's go out and see what's going on with this snowfall? Chu Mufeng waved his hand.

"Good!"

When the two of them went out, it was already full of people standing outside, and everyone came out of the room to enjoy the view.

It's just that when Chu Mufeng grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

"I thought it was really snowing, but it turned out to be fake, isn't this the white sand on the beach?"

"Yes, what Detective Chu said is very right, this is the white sand on the beach."

Dong Zhuo walked over from behind and said strangely: "Actually, this kind of thing has happened before, as long as it is windy, it will always roll up the white sand powder on the beach and blow it here." ”

"No, it should be said that there will be grains of sand not only here, but the entire Crescent Island. If you go out and look at it, you'll see sand like this everywhere. ”

"Oh, I see, it's amazing!" Jiang Yi was immediately relieved.

"Boss, dinner is ready!"

Just as everyone was enjoying this rare picture, chef Niu Gensheng came over from behind and said in a deep voice. Completely ignore the white sand in the sky.

"Okay!"

Dong Zhuo nodded, waved his hand and greeted everyone: "Everyone, I know that your mood is a little heavy after this incident, but no matter how heavy it is, you have to eat, let's go, dinner is already ready, what is the matter after eating." ”

"Yes, no matter what, you have strength when you are full!"

Sun Da'an was the first to respond, and followed Dong Zhuo's footsteps towards the restaurant.

As the school leader of Yanbei University in charge of this class reunion, he was actually depressed.

He originally thought that he would be able to go further with Gan Susu this time, but who would have thought that before he could skim the eight characters, he would encounter this kind of strange thing that was disturbing his heart.

Whether Zhao Dapeng is alive or dead is not known until now.

Let him have the heart to think about the other!

Five minutes later, everyone appeared in the dining room, with hot food on the table, and at this moment, Yue Tong suddenly frowned and asked, "Hey, have any of you seen Chu Wuyuan?" ”

The position where Chu Wuyuan was sitting will be empty!

"Yes, that's right, I remember that he was still with us looking for Zhao Dapeng in the afternoon, why did he disappear when he had dinner at night?" Gu Zijun asked with some confusion.

"Could it be that you feel uncomfortable, or afraid, and rest in your room?" Huang Junsheng said.

"Why don't I call him over for dinner?"

Just when Gu Zijun wanted to stand up and call someone, Chu Mufeng's face suddenly sank, he stood up rubbed to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I feel that something is wrong, let's go and have a look together." ”

"Something is wrong? What could be wrong? You won't say that Chu Wuyuan was also killed, right? ”

After Sun Xiaolong said this, he found that everyone looked at them with such disgust, so he shrunk his neck and smiled.

"Hey, I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. Let's go, aren't you going to find Chu Wuyuan? Let's go together! I'd like to see if this timid creature is scared to tears. ”

A group of people all got up and walked out of the restaurant.

In front of the Silversea Room.

Chu Mufeng raised his hand and knocked on the door and said, "Chu Wuyuan, are you there, the big guys are waiting for you to eat, if you are in the room, come out quickly." ”

Bang bang!

There was a loud knock on the door, and if there was someone inside, it would wake you up even if you fell asleep.

But there was no reaction inside, and the room across the door was like a bottomless pit, and no matter how Chu Mufeng knocked on the door, he was indifferent.

"Manager Zheng, hurry up and open the door!" Chu Mufeng turned his head and shouted.

"Good!"

Zheng Yujiao hurriedly walked over, picked up the key and opened the door, and Chu Mufeng was the first to rush in.

The room was empty.

"Hey, what about Chu Wuyuan? He didn't go to the restaurant, why wasn't he in the room? Where can he go now? ”

"He's such a timid and scared person, he definitely won't go out alone, don't you say...... Something happened to him too? ”

"Chu Wuyuan, where are you, come out quickly! Don't hide! ”

The crowd suddenly became panicked.

There is no news about Zhao Dapeng's disappearance until now, how can this Chu Wuyuan disappear in a dignified manner, could it be said that this half-string hotel is a black shop, specializing in pit tourists?

"Everyone, hurry up and find it!"

Sun Da'an is really frightened now.

The unknown life and death of a Zhao Dapeng is enough to make him worry, and now if it is said that even Chu Wuyuan has an accident, then he, the vice principal, will definitely get into trouble.

He is the person in charge of this event, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't come, so many people have died here, and he doesn't want to get out easily.

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and find someone!"

With a wave of both hands, Sun Da'an shouted and ran out first.

Glycin is a close second.

The rest of the people also began to rush out to look for it.

"Brother Chu, you said that Chu Wuyuan wouldn't have an accident, right?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"I can't say!"

Chu Mufeng shook his head, until Chu Wuyuan was found, any guess would not be valid.

He didn't want Chu Wuyuan to have an accident, but who can guarantee this?

Chu Wuyuan, who was originally timid and scared, might really become the target of the perpetrators, if that happens, the whole thing will become complicated.

This seemingly peaceful island is now full of murderous opportunities!

Parvis.

Just when everyone was looking up and down for Chu Wuyuan, Chu Mufeng, who came to the door, suddenly looked at a line of footprints not far away, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Manager Zheng, if I'm not mistaken, this should be in the direction of the church, right?"

"yes!" Zheng Yujiao nodded and said.

"And who was the one who went to church just now?" Chu Mufeng narrowed his eyes.

"It was Lin Pinghe, he went to the church to find a ladder. You know, the church is the storage room of our half-string hotel, where everything is kept. ”

"There was sand everywhere the wind blew just now, and we can leave it alone for the time being, but we want to wipe it inside the hotel, and we can't reach it without a ladder." Zheng Yujiao explained naturally.

"Then let's follow the footprints and see." Chu Mufeng pointed to the footprints and said.

"Follow the footprints?"

Zheng Yujiao's face was slightly stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly came to her senses, covered her mouth in some surprise and said, "You don't think that Chu Wuyuan's disappearance has anything to do with Lin Pinghe, right?" ”

"I didn't say that, I just wanted to go over there and have a look, is there a problem?" Chu Mufeng's tone was flat, but the firmness revealed in his words was unquestionable.

"Of course, no problem, let's go!"

The two of them followed the footprints on the ground in the direction of the church.

Fortunately, the wind has stopped now, so the footprints on the ground are obvious and have not been covered for the time being, otherwise, the wind continues to blow, and the footprints on the ground will definitely be covered.

In that case, the footprints would not lead to the church, but somewhere else, and things would be even more confusing.

A few meters in front of the church.

Suddenly there were more footprints here, and in addition to the previous footprints, there was a new line of footprints.

Compared with Lin Pinghe's footprints, this trace is obviously one size smaller, like a woman's left.

"Huh!"

At this moment, Zheng Yujiao suddenly let out a surprised sound, and then in Chu Mufeng's puzzled eyes, she raised her hand and pointed to the window of the church not far away, and said in surprise.

"Officer Chu, have you seen it? How can there be light inside the church? ”

That's right, it's a bright light!

Chu Mufeng's gaze was also attracted, there was a light source in the church, which was emitting a gentle and soft light through the window.

It's definitely not a candle, it's supposed to be a flashlight or something.

"Let's go in and have a look." Chu Mufeng said in a deep voice.

"Good!"

Just as the two of them walked to the gate of the church, Chu Mufeng suddenly stopped, and Zheng Yujiao also stopped, then looked over in confusion and asked with a little puzzlement: "Officer Chu, what's wrong?" ”

"Footprints!"

Chu Mufeng pointed to the white sand on the ground and said slowly, "Have you seen it?" The footprints are gone! ”

Footprints gone?

Zheng Yujiao's mind just now was attracted by the bright light in the church, and she really didn't think of this, but now when she heard this, she hurriedly looked down.

Really!

The footprints that had always existed before have disappeared here!

Strange, this is obviously somewhat unreasonable!

If Lin Ping and him entered the auditorium, they would definitely leave footprints, otherwise how could they cross the distance of three meters?

Or did Lin Pinghe not go in at all! Yes, it should be like this, if he goes in, he will definitely find the light.

"There's definitely something weird about this church, let's go in now, but be careful! Don't spoil the scene here! Chu Mufeng said with a serious face.

"Okay, I got it!" Zheng Yujiao's face turned slightly pale, and she was a little uneasy.

Before pushing open the door and entering, Chu Mufeng made sure that there were really no other people's footprints.

There is only one door in this church, and if there are no footprints here, there is nowhere else to enter.

With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that there were no traces of footprints on the ground that had been artificially concealed.

Squeak.

When the door of the church was pushed open, Chu Mufeng just glanced at Zheng Yujiao behind him, closed the door again, and then said with a serious expression: "Manager Zheng, please go and call everyone in the hotel over!" ”

"Why?"

Zheng Yujiao blinked her eyes, just asked this question, and then covered her mouth in horror, and said with horror in her eyes: "Could it be that? ”

"Yes!"

Chu Mufeng nodded, sighed and said, "Anyway, call everyone over first, this matter should be said in front of everyone, and there is no need to hide it." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go!" Zheng Yujiao turned around and hurriedly ran back.

When Zheng Yujiao left, Chu Mufeng turned around again and pushed the door and walked in, he would take Zheng Yujiao away, in addition to asking her to notify others of the arrival, he also wanted to check the scene quietly.

After all, the scene cannot be destroyed, and if there are many people, the scene will definitely suffer from man-made damage. And to tell the truth, Chu Mufeng doesn't think that Zheng Yujiao is completely innocent and can rule out suspicion.

Before the whole matter was investigated, Chu Mufeng only believed in himself.

The church is still the same as when he and Jiang Yi came over.

There are few windows, and no one usually comes here, so when it is used as a utility room, indoor air circulation becomes a problem, so when you enter it, you will have a faint musty smell.

It's just that Chu Mufeng now has no time to pay attention to the so-called musty smell, he has found a light source, that is, a flashlight thrown on the ground, the power has obviously decreased a little, and the bright light is a little weak.

If you don't get close to the church, it's not dark, and if you don't look closely, you may not be able to find this light.

Looking up along the flashlight, on the beam of the ceiling, a man was hanging.

Although the light of the church was a little dim at this time, with the help of the afterglow of the flashlight, Chu Mufeng could still clearly see the appearance of this man.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed, his mouth was half-open and half-closed, and his lips were purple-black.

The most important thing is that he is Chu Wuyuan!

Chu Wuyuan in the trio!

At this moment, Chu Wuyuan had a thumb-thick hemp rope tied around his neck!

The hemp rope was wrapped around his neck to his back and suspended through the beam.

There are no ladders nearby!

Chu Mufeng, who was standing here, had his brain spinning rapidly, constantly analyzing the situation in front of him, and there was not the slightest fear or timidity on his face, but it seemed that he had been stimulated the fighting intent in his heart, and his eyes were bright.

"Chu Wuyuan is the second person to be hanged after Zhao Dapeng, his death is no different from Zhao Dapeng, it is strangled without exception! This kind of death is exactly the same as Chu Wuyuan's suicide of Chen Jianghe. If you want to say that Zhao Dapeng was hanged by accident before, if it was acting, it is definitely not an accident now. ”

"The situation in front of me should have been arranged by someone carrying the corpse and climbing the ladder. According to the analysis of the current situation, Chu Wu should have been killed in front, and then the body was moved behind, and only after moving here did he put his neck on and hang him. Otherwise, in such a high place, Chu Wuyuan is not a fool, how can he say that he can let the perpetrator kill him. ”

"But what about the ladder?"

If you want to commit a crime like this, you must have a ladder, and without a ladder, it is impossible to say that you can move to the beam, after all, this height is a bit high, and no normal person can do it.

Or if it wasn't a ladder, it was thrown by the assailant with the help of a heavy object? That's right, it's possible. Just tie a heavy object to a section of the rope and you can hang the dead body smoothly! ”

When he thought of this, Chu Mufeng stared at Chu Wuyuan with both eyes.

"This assailant definitely did it on purpose!"

That's right, Chu Mufeng firmly believes this.

Because if you really want to kill someone, you won't say that you have to expose the body blatantly.

Didn't Zhao Dapeng kill the perpetrator in front of everyone before? And now after Chu Wuyuan was killed, the body was also hung like this, so that everyone could see it?

In this way, the flashlight on the ground was not lost by the perpetrator at all, but he deliberately placed it here.

For the sake of notification!

It would be in vain for the perpetrators to create such a scene of death, and if no one knew about it, there must be a flashlight to make people aware that something is wrong.

"How psychopathic it takes to be like this!"

Chu Mufeng's eyes were cold.

So is this so-called homicide directed against oneself? Is it because I came to Crescent Island, so this series of murders happened?

No, it shouldn't have anything to do with me.

Chu Mufeng quickly dismissed this idea.

I came to Crescent Island on a temporary basis, without prior notice, and in such a situation, no one could have expected that I would appear.

And he is not familiar with them, and before his identity is revealed, the perpetrator will not target himself, the so-called detective, at all.

If this is not the case, there are only two possibilities.

The murderer is either someone from the Half String Hotel!

Either it's someone from Yanbei University!

Who the hell is it?

What is the purpose?

Just as Chu Mufeng was groaning, there were bursts of hurried footsteps outside the auditorium, and soon a group of people rushed in.

When they saw Chu Wuyuan hanging in the air, their faces changed suddenly, and they let out an exclamation.
