Hanging under the corpse of Xu Sheng at the top of the stone house, Sheng Yutang's corpse was placed, and the people guarding the door were also replaced by Yan Gang and Samuchuan, Duan Weijia and Duan Weiguo both had to guard Sheng Zitai, the last bloodline of the Sheng family, if Sheng Zitai had any problems, they had no way to go back.

Bai Zhongzheng's sudden appearance kept the number of living people in the stone house at 15. Similarly, his appearance also made some people in the house uneasy, including Tan Tong and Samuchuan, because he believed that the criminal arranger secretly protected them, which not only despised their ability, but also a kind of distrust of them.

Of course, the torture technique doesn't think like this, he just wants to be foolproof, but it's a pity that it's still a hundred secrets.

In the corner, after hearing Bai Zhongzheng say that Guo Hongkui had already left safely with Guo Shiji, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Kui Ye and Shiji are safe, I will rest assured, if something happens, I will not be at ease in my life." ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded, calmly looked at Mu Tianjian and Yuan Zhenba who were guarding in front of Sheng Yutang's corpse in the distance, and then cast his gaze on the torture technique, and asked, "Did you see who did it before?" ”

"Nope." Bai Zhongzheng shook his head, "It's weird, in fact, when you were talking there, I was already ambushed around, I didn't suddenly appear, I was just worried that coming out directly would embarrass you, but I didn't expect things to be like this." ”

"I also wonder, who did it?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng said: "No matter who did it, it must be very powerful, I really want to check the body now, and find out what is going on, even if it is poisoned, there is a way, right?" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "I can't go now, that person named Mu Tianjian is very short-tempered, if you propose to inspect the body, he may stop it, but they will definitely check it, that one named Yuan Zhenba is a cargo chaser who specializes in medicines." ”

"You say, could it be the hand of Yuan Zhenba?" Bai Zhongzheng lowered his voice and asked, "He is most likely." ”

Xingshu shook his head: "It's possible for anyone, but it mainly depends on the motive, and now I can't see what motive he has." ”

At this time, Yuan Zhenba got up, glanced around, and said slowly: "Everyone, the eldest prince was poisoned, and everyone present is a suspect and a witness, but I believe everyone knows that this murder is not ordinary and cannot be dealt with by the police, because once the police intervene, it will only bring more trouble with our identity, so for now, I will check the body of the eldest prince and find out how he was assassinated, in this process, I hope that none of you will leave this stone house." ”

Everyone just nodded silently, and no one made any other moves, just watched. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhenba squatted down again and nodded to Mu Tianjian, Mu Tianjian helped Sheng Yutang take off his clothes, and Yuan Zhenba began to carefully inspect from beginning to end, and at the same time took out a series of his own tools and began to carefully inspect.

After a long time, Yuan Zhenba got up, glanced at the people around him, nodded towards the torture technique, and motioned for him to step forward.

After waiting for the torture technique to come forward, Yuan Zhen said: "It's poison!" ”

"Poison? What is that? The torture asked puzzledly, and subconsciously looked at Sheng Yutang's corpse.

Yuan Zhenba explained: "Yu means a kind of dragon, but in fact, it refers to a poisonous snake or lizard, and among the poisons, the poison refers to a mixed venom, which is made of a harmless snake produced in Xiangxi, Sanzhangqing, and a lizard produced in Guangxi. I speculate that the poisoner first gave the eldest prince bile, and then used the tongue fluid, so that the eldest prince himself could not be noticed, let alone the people around him. ”

Torture nodded: "That is, the bile used by the person who poisoned it first, and then the tongue fluid?" Is there a certain time gap in between? ”

Yuan Zhenba responded: "That's right, but this method is very rare now, in the past, people who drove corpses in Xiangxi and Guangxi would make this kind of venom, because this thing was placed on a living person, because of the blood flow, it would cause internal organs to ulcerate, but if it was injected into the stomach of a dead person, it would play a certain role in embalming." ”

The torture technique thought for a while and asked, "How long can the interval be?" ”

"I don't know much about this, I only know that if Sanzhangqing's bile is to be thoroughly absorbed by the body, it should be within 48 hours, and once it is completely absorbed, and then use the lizard's snake liquid, there will be no poisoning." Yuan Zhenba looked down at the corpse, "That is to say, the first time the eldest prince took bile without knowing it, it should be a matter of these two days, and the approximate time should be after going up the mountain!" ”

Torture looked at the others: "So, among the 15 of us, there is also the helper of the man in black?" ”

Yuan Zhenba said coldly: "Torture, haven't you suspected it for a long time? ”

The torturer asked, "How do you know?" ”

Yuan Zhenba asked: "When I came here with the eldest prince in the early morning, you asked about that series of things, and in fact, you already suspected it, in addition to Xu You, there were people here who were the helpers of the man in black, and your tone and expression had already shown at that time." ”

At this time, the torturer asked, "In this way, you will tell you everything that happened after you went up the mountain." ”

"Let's go out and talk!" Yuan Zhenba said, whispering to Mu Tianjian to guard the corpse, and then left the stone house with the torture technique and walked outside.

Before the torture technique left, he also whispered to He Chenxue: "I just went out to call the master to report his safety, and let the old man also talk to the others, so that they don't have to worry." ”

He Chenxue nodded slightly: "You pay attention to safety." ”

After the two left, the people in the stone house began to discuss in a low voice, Xu Cai and Xu Dao shrank in the corner at this time, and from time to time raised their eyes to look at the body of Xu Sheng who was killed by lightning at the top, Xu Dao thought about it and secretly wept there, and Xu Cai comforted him in a low voice.

He Chenxue, who was sitting with Tan Tong, finally couldn't bear it anymore, took a bottle of water and slowly walked to her sister He Yuejia, and handed the water over, He Yuejia just shook her head and said lightly: "I have it here, you can keep it for yourself." ”

"Sister, after this matter is done, you can go home with me, okay?" He Chenxue almost had the courage to say this, because she felt that He Yuejia's heart was rejecting herself.

"Chenxue, we are not all the way." He Yuejia said coldly, not even raising her eyes to look at He Chenxue.

Fan Meng looked at He Chenxue and raised his head to signal her to leave, He Chenxue was very embarrassed, so he had to turn around and go back, Tan Tong, who was not far away, couldn't get used to it, looked at He Yuejia and said, "Hey, this is your own sister, you don't have to talk like this, right?" ”

Fan Meng raised his eyes and said, "Who are you?" It's our family affair, and it's okay with you, right? ”

"I just can't get used to it! I'm just nosy! Tan Tong got up, "It's okay to say two words?" You don't like to listen to me, you can go! ”

Fan Meng got up at this time, and as soon as he got up, Mu Tianjian raised his eyes and said fiercely: "Whoever dares to go, I will kill whom!" ”

Tan Tong was amused: "Look, you can't go, right?" This stone house is not your home, not a place where I have to say whatever you want to hear! ”

"You ......" Fan Meng was about to have a seizure, but was dragged down by He Yuejia, He Yuejia shook his head at him, signaling him to calm down, Fan Meng had to swallow that breath, Tan Tong squinted at him and continued to provoke.

It didn't take long for Sheng Zitai to wake up, and after waking up, his mental state was obviously better than last night, after opening his eyes, he saw Sheng Yutang's body lying not far away, first he was dazed, and then he saw the tears on Mu Tianjian's face, and realized something, he subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Duan Weijia, Duan Weijia was worried that he was attacked by Mu Tianjian, and then whispered what happened.

Sheng Zitai was extremely surprised after hearing this, and then regardless of Duan Wei's obstruction, he stepped forward and knelt in front of the corpse of his eldest brother Sheng Yutang, at this time, Mu Tianjian's expression on his face was already distorted, and he said fiercely: "Now you are satisfied?" No more continuing, no more choosing! You're the next master! You win! You've already won, you don't have to kneel here and pretend! ”

"Mu Tianjian! Speak politely! Duan Weijia roared angrily in the rear, "You also said that Brother Sheng is the next door master, you should be polite!" ”

Mu Tianjian got up and approached Duan Wei's house: "The surname is Duan, you are a disciple, I am not, I am loyal to the eldest prince, not the master of the door!" Figure this out and talk to me again! ”

Duan Weiguo stepped forward and was stopped by Duan Wei's family, Duan Weijia said: "The eldest prince is always Brother Sheng's own brother, his affairs Brother Sheng will definitely find out, and Heyumen will also find out!" ”

"Stop arguing!" Tan Tong got up at this time, "Although you are each your own master, the most important thing at the moment is to find out who killed Sheng Yutang, who also said it before, everyone is suspicious." At this time, Mu Tianjian looked sideways at Tan Tong, Tan Tong was not afraid at all, but said, "Why are you looking at me?" You're suspicious too! ”

Mu Tianjian turned around and kicked towards Tan Tong, Tan Tong was also from a martial arts background, and ordinary attacks could be easily defused by him, he walked in the direction of Yan Gang and Samuchuan while hiding, Mu Tianjian rushed a few steps, and saw Yan Gang and Samuchuan at the door looking at him coldly, Yan Gang subconsciously grabbed Tan Tong behind him.

Mu Tianjian knew that he couldn't be the opponent of the two, so he had to retreat, at this time, he was already being attacked from all sides, and at the moment, except for Yuan Zhenba, no one was on his side, if he really wanted to fight, the Duan brothers would definitely stand by and watch.

"Stop!" Yuan Zhenba appeared at the door at this time, "Tianjian, calm down!" They are right, everyone is suspicious, including you and me! ”

Mu Tianjian gasped and pointed at Yuan Zhenba: "You, you have two hearts for the eldest son, do you think the eldest prince doesn't know!?" You think you're the smartest! To tell you the truth, the eldest prince told me before he came, if you have different intentions, Xiangxi is your burial place! ”

Yuan Zhenba didn't say anything, just shook his head, and the torture technique behind him frowned, he knew that Mu Tianjian was too brainless, because at this time he could only rely on Yuan Zhenba, no matter whether what he said just now was true or not, he shouldn't say it impulsively, once he said it, it would be tantamount to completely offending Yuan Zhenba and putting himself in a very dangerous situation - if this matter is not clear, Yuan Zhenba, Sheng Zitai, Duan's brothers and others are afraid that Sheng Feng will pursue it, They could directly blame Mu Tianjian for the crime, and Mu Tianjian would be difficult to argue with at that time.

At the same time, after listening to Yuan Zhenba's narration, the doubts in his heart gradually shifted and expanded, judging from Yuan Zhenba's narration, the people who could poison Sheng Yutang for the first time were Fan Meng, He Yuejia, Yuan Zhenba and Mu Tianjian, and even the jackal who did not go up the mountain at all.

Among the five people, only the jackal is slightly less suspicious, and anyone else has the possibility of poisoning him, and the only place where he is poisoned is only the cave, because after coming to the stone house, Sheng Yutang has not eaten or drunk anything, but Sheng Zitai has drunk medicine, the medicine is boiled by Samuchuan, and Yuan Zhenba has also checked, there can be no problems at this stage.

And in the cave, the person who cooked the soup was Mu Tianjian, and everyone in it had touched the soup, and anyone could be poisoned!

The most troublesome is the second link, that is, who ordered the lizard tongue liquid? According to Yuan Zhenba, the kind of tongue fluid can penetrate the skin, that is to say, there is no need for Sheng Yutang to eat and drink, someone sprinkles the tongue fluid on his skin, as long as the Sanzhang Qing bile in the body is not completely absorbed before it is completely absorbed, the two will fuse in a short time.

In other words, the time when the lizard's tongue was in Sheng Yutang should have been during the period when he turned around and went into the stone house to call Xu Dao.

During this period, everyone here had general contact with him, in other words, no matter how much the torture technique speculated, no matter what evidence was obtained, as long as he did not see it with his own eyes, he could not determine who the murderer and his accomplices were, because everyone here had a chance to do it.

"You can only use the elimination method." Sitting in the corner, the torturer whispered to He Chenxue, "First eliminate the motive, and then exclude the people who are not directly related to the incident, and there must be murderers and their accomplices among the rest." ”

He Chenxue said: "When it comes to motivation, there are only five of us who have no motive. ”

Xingshu shook his head: "You're wrong, that's just that we thought that in the hearts of the people of Heyumen, the five of us also have motives, don't forget, Sheng Zitai has been to Harbin and contacted me, and they will guess that there is a deal between me and Sheng Zitai, so we helped Sheng Zitai get rid of Sheng Yutang, isn't this the motive?" The Xu brothers are more motivated, so there is no need to elaborate on this. If Mu Tianjian's statement is true, then Yuan Zhenba also has it, Sheng Zitai and the Duan brothers are more motivated, in this way, the only one who has no motive, and the most unlikely one is Mu Tianjian! ”

Tan Tong accosted on one side: "Maybe the most motive is the murderer, because he is the least suspicious, you see, isn't it all like this in the reasoning?" The most overlooked person is precisely the murderer, and once you catch him, you know that this murderer's motives and reasons are the most sufficient. ”

Yan Gang shook his head: "What if it is excluded from the connection with the event?" ”

"If you exclude from the connection of the incident, you, Tan Tong, and Samuchuan have no motive, and everyone else does." "So, in general, what I can basically rule out now is that Yan Gang, Tan Tong, Samuchuan, and Mu Tianjian are not murderers, and others, including me, are still very suspicious." ”

He Chenxue shook her head: "It's too complicated." ”

"The more complicated things are, the simpler they are, it's just that we ignore the important parts, and I have to start from scratch." Torture sat there and took a deep breath, "Also, the man in black is not simple, I now have a rough idea of what he is going to do, but there is nothing he can do, his initial plan has succeeded." ”

Tan Tong asked, "What plan?" ”

"Let's have civil strife." Xingshu looked at the others in the distance, "You see, no one believes anyone now, this is the initial goal he wants to achieve, he has done it, but I can't solve it, this is a completely unsolvable problem." ”

"It's not complicated, is it?" Samuchuan said at this time, "The murderer is sure that there are two people, the first is the man in black, and the second is Xu You, these two people are colluding, and then among the current batch of people, one or even two are also accomplices, from this point of view, isn't it good?" ”

Samuchuan's words suddenly woke up the torture technique, and the torture technique looked at Samuchuan and said: "Samuchuan is right, the reason why the man in black can succeed is that he planned it from the beginning, and there is more than one helper. ”

Just when everyone was at a loss, strange things happened again, got up and walked out, Xu Cai, who said that he was going to urinate, suddenly fell to the ground, and vomited a pile of blood, and then stared and died, the death was exactly the same as Sheng Yutang before!

The remaining 14 people in the stone house were dumbfounded again, Xu Dao pounced on it, shaking his second brother's body, which looked exactly the same as Mu Tianjian before, but then he began to wail and cry, cursing Xu You loudly, saying that Xu You was a goddamn bastard who betrayed their brother, and then Xu Dao got up again, pointed at the people who surrounded him, and roared: "Who is it!?" Who else among you is helping that bastard! There must still be someone! Who is it!? Come out! Stand out! ”

Mu Tianjian slowly stepped forward at this time, stood with Xu Dao, looked around at the people around him, and said word by word: "It's already completely certain, we still have accomplices here!" ”

"Nonsense!" Sheng Zitai said angrily, just about to step forward, but slowly retreated, and the torture found that Sheng Zitai was very strange, because he was fine in the stone house, as if he would be very scared once he saw the scene outside the stone house, even the mineral water bottle he used to urinate was taken out by Duan Wei's family and poured it out.

Is Sheng Zitai's performance also directly related to these murders?

One of the most important links is missing, what is it?

Yuan Zhenba began to investigate the body, and the results of the examination were the same as Sheng Yutang, and Xu Cai also died of poison.

After listening to the results of Yuan Zhenba's inspection, he shook his head: "It's still the same sentence, everyone is suspicious, but I roughly figured out a little clue, but it's not time to say it yet, but, I think from now on, everyone should be careful, eat and drink something, and take it after the inspection, only Yuan Zhenba and Samuchuan will be inspected here, and they are responsible, and the rest of us can't be responsible if we want to, because we don't understand." ”

Everyone nodded silently, and the terrifying atmosphere began to spread in the stone house, in fact, what everyone wanted in their hearts was to leave this ghost place immediately, because it was too weird, but Mu Tianjian did not allow anyone to leave, although everyone could rush up and subdue him, but what about the corpse? Mu Tianjian may not call the police, but he will definitely tell Sheng Feng, who knows what Sheng Feng will do for his dead son.

The man in black's plan was seamless, and he used the simplest and most practical method, which was to disturb people's hearts.

Torture thought about it and determined some things, but because of the lack of the most favorable evidence, there was no way to say it, and some things, once they were said, could immediately change a person's fate.
