Chapter 18: Murder in a Closed Room

The murder happened again.

Why am I not surprised at all......

"Quick, tell Madame!"

The Black Wind gang who smashed the door left in a hurry.

"Go in and take a look."

Zhang Zhenjiao was the first to rush into the house.

Against the pungent stench, I followed closely.

Across the door, the temperature instantly shifts from autumn to summer - because on both sides of the house, there are a blazing bonfire; The tongues of fire licked and blackened the walls.

Fei Fu's corpse hung between the fires, and in the middle of his face, there was a short sword.

The whole scene is full of an eerie atmosphere.

I noticed that the entrance to the whole room, apart from the stone door, was only two narrow iron windows.

But those two bars can only allow rats to enter and exit at most (maybe a fat rat can't).

"Why don't you even have a bed in this place?" Zhang Zhenjiao said.

Not only did there be no bed, but not even a table or chair could be seen.

"It's not that there are no ......," I said, pinching my nose, "and they're all burning in the fire." ”

Indeed, all the wooden furniture in the house was broken into pieces and used as firewood in the campfire.

"It's just a matter of killing someone, is it necessary to be so troublesome?" Zhang Zhenjiao scratched his head and said.

"Yes, is it necessary......" I frowned.

"Huh, you can't see that?" At this time, Qi Tianguang strode into the house, "This is not a murder case at all!" ”

"What's not murder?" Zhang Zhenjian hummed, it is estimated that he also looks at this Qi Tianguang unpleasantly. "Isn't this fat man dead?"

The blade pierced the skull, and of course Feifu was too dead to die.

"It's not murder, of course it's suicide." Qi Tianguang smiled and kicked the gravel on the ground with his foot.

In the pile of rubble, there is a twisted and deformed square copper stick.

"It's ...... Latch? Zhang Zhenjiao recognized what it was at a glance.

"That's right." Qi Tianguang's mouth was full of words, "The door is bolted from the inside, and there is no other exit in the house - obviously, this can only be suicide." ”

"Joke, he's alone, how can he tie his hands, hang in the air, and then pierce his face with a sword?" Zhang Zhenjiao snorted coldly.

"Not by hands, but by feet." Qi Tianguang said, "Don't you know, Feifu has a nickname called 'Octopus Fu'?" His legs are more flexible than you can imagine. ”

"Octopus Fu?" I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Hall Master Qi is right." At this time, Ruan Meiniang appeared, "I gave me the nickname of Master Futang." ”

It's rare, she is not responsible for screaming this time.

"Mother-in-law, do you have a leg with this fat man?" Zhang Zhenjian frowned.

"Where do you want to go?" Ruan Meiniang shook her head and said, "You don't know what kind of place our fireworks pavilion is, but the master of the Fu Hall is a frequent visitor." ”

"And he...... Why commit suicide? ”

It can be seen that Zhang Zhenjiao doesn't believe that Feifu will commit suicide.

But Qi Tianguang also has a point.

The door was locked from the inside, the window was too narrow, and the whole room was empty and there was nowhere to hideβ€”this place was a secret room......

Murder in a closed room?

I was shocked.

Yes, it must be a closed room murder case - what suicide, could the plot be arranged like this?

But...... How does the murderer get out of the secret room?

Or was the murderer not in the house in the first place, but through some special method, he latched the door from the outside?

Is there a way to do it?

Although the death of the black bat is doubtful, at least it can be done by manpower.

But this time, Feifu is simply an 'impossible crime'!

Suicide?

Homicide?

Curse kill?

"According to Qi's opinion, the person who kills the black bat must be a fat blessing." Qi Tianguang analyzed, "Fei Fu knew that his crime would be exposed one day, and when the time came, the methods of my torture hall would definitely make his life worse than death, so he ......turned his heart sideways."

"But why is it so complicated?" Zhang Zhen said.

"This is the ritual of the Heavenly Demon's curse." Ruan Meiniang's expression was very complicated, "I think he is preparing to die by himself, and he can't make others feel better, so he will arrange it like this." ”

"Sister Mei Niang." My heart moved, "You seem to know a lot about the Heavenly Demon?" ”

"Well, I'm interested in this kind of thing, so I've studied it carefully." Ruan Meiniang covered her mouth and said, "But the most important thing is that the dead ghost in my family is the remnant of the Heavenly Demon back then, and there is still a complete set of "Heavenly Demon True Solution" hidden in the house - which specifically records these terrible things. ”

The former dead ghost, referring to her ex-husband?

"Based on your understanding of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, I thought you would be able to find some clues to the Heavenly Demon Relics." Zhang Zhen said.

"Hehe, how do you know she hasn't been found?" Qi Tianguang looked up to the sky and smiled, brushed his sleeves away.

Afterwards, several Black Wind Warriors came in, took down Feifu's body, and transported it away; The bonfire was also extinguished, sending out puffs of smoke.

Leaving the stone house, Dai Jindao and Li Wanshan were waiting outside.

"It stinks so bad, you can't bear it." Li Wanshan covered his nose with a handkerchief.

"I didn't go in." Dai Jindao said.

Do you not want to go in, or do you dare not go in?

Now I look at everyone who feels suspicious.

"The helper's wife has an order." The butler appeared, "There are so many things that have happened, it is really not suitable to hold another banquet, so lunch and dinner will be sent to each of you separately." ”

"This ......," I leaned closer to the butler, "can I order?" ”

"Of course ......"

At noon, Chun Tao and the Liu brothers and I gathered around the dinner table, chatting while eating:

"Third brother, is Feifu really committing suicide?" Liu Bei asked me.

"It is said that fat people rarely commit suicide." I said, "Because they eat when they're not happy, they usually choke to death." ”

"I don't think so." Chun Tao said, "You think, among the four suspects, Qi Tianguang is the one with the biggest suspicion; Steward Lao is usually very low-key, but he can move freely in the annex without suspicion, and the suspicion should be second; Based on Ruan Meiniang's understanding of the extraterritorial heavenly demons, the suspicion is temporarily ranked third - in this way, Fei Fu is the least suspicious, why is he in a hurry to commit suicide? ”

After some analysis, the head is the way.

"You can." I looked at Chun Tao with a smile, "It's worthy of getting my true biography......"

"Don't talk nonsense." Chun Tao's face was a little red, "But I don't understand, if it wasn't suicide, who was it, and how did you kill Fei Fu?" Also, is the murderer who killed the black bat the same person? ”

"Actually, I can answer your questions." I drank a bowl of ginseng old chicken soup and suddenly said, "That's right, the murderer who killed the black bat and the fat fortune is the same person......"

"Huh?"

Chun Tao and the Liu brothers stared at me with wide eyes.

"However, I just guessed, there is no evidence." I said again.

"Guess what, let's hear it." Chun Tao was interested.

"If you don't have a certificate or evidence, it won't have a good impact if you say it." I shook my head, "The point is, I'm not sure if it's this person or not - because there are some things that not everyone can do......"

Although this is a bit sudden, after thinking about it all morning, the truth of the whole incident is actually a small fragment that can be pieced together.

What exactly is this fragment?

"Young Master Yun!" At this time, Zhang Zhenjiao's loud voice sounded outside the door.

"Gang Leader Zhang, shouldn't something happen again?" I asked.

"It's a thing, but it's a good thing." Zhang Zhenjian came in and patted me on the shoulder with a big grin, "Let's go, let's go and gamble again!" ”
