The Scarlet Case One Hundred and Thirty-Four. An Unsolvable Mystery (Undercover Case 8)
Zhang Feng's mind is a little overwhelmed now, and now a strange middle-aged man suddenly appeared, could it be that this man has something to do with this case?
"As for why this photo was damaged, I think it may be the middle-aged man's ghost, otherwise, it wouldn't be just his part missing."
Zhang Feng nodded, he now had a bold idea. This thought ran through his brain, and a biting cold instantly passed through his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"You say, could we all actually have a role, but we don't know it now"
"You mean role-playing?" Shi Lin knew what he was thinking, this was actually the same as what he and Meng Yao thought just now, this game actually had a hidden script, and they were just characters in it.
Go forward step by step according to the prescribed script, and the undercover agent is the one who breaks the rules.
"That's right, that photo must be a key clue, that middle-aged man must be one of us, we can rule out Meng Yao, as long as we find the other half of the broken photo, we can successfully find the murderer!" Zhang Feng said excitedly.
"But alas, the murderer has already taken him, and must have destroyed it!"
"How do you know?" Zhang Feng wondered. "Do you see that? Or are you the murderer?! ”
Zhang Feng hurriedly took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from Shi Lin to prevent him from jumping off the wall and biting him.
"Of course not" Shi Lin straightened his waist a little impatiently and put down the knife in his hand. "Think about it, if it wasn't the killer who tore up that picture and then took him away, then why didn't he tell this clue?"
In other words, if you got that picture, wouldn't you show it to anyone else? Unless you're the murderer! Shi Lin said righteously. So, that photo is definitely gone, don't think about it anymore! ”
"Damn it!"
Zhang Feng threw a punch into the air, showing his anger.
Shi Lin got up from the bed and walked out of the room.
"Where did everyone else go? Why is there no one? ”
Shi Lin walked slowly down the stairs, and there was no sound in the huge villa, until he went down to the first floor and saw the two people standing in the garden.
"Huh! Where are you standing? ”
Shi Lin hurriedly walked over and came to the two of them, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but stand still like the two of them.
"What's going on?!"
In front of them, Li Wenjun died in the basement, his face was pale, and he looked like he had died of suffocation.
"Lao Li is dead, someone locked him here," Liu Wu said lightly, then squatted down and carefully observed Li Wenjun's body. "The face is blue and the eyes are bloodshot, which is a typical death of asphyxiation"
"You see, he seems to have something in his hand?"
Meng Yao pointed to Li Wenjun's hand, there was indeed a horn exposed, I don't know what it was?
"Come on! Old Shi, do him a favor and pull him out! ”
Shi Lin hurriedly greeted him, and the two of them worked together to pull Li Wenjun up who was lying on the stairs in the basement.

The dead man is still a bit heavy, and if there are no two men, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pull him up.
"Just put it here, the ground here is pretty flat!"
Li Wenjun was carried to the stone platform by the pool, and several people surrounded him to observe.
However, in the face of their former companions and comrades-in-arms, they are still a little jealous, and they dare not touch too much, or even do some actions.
"Gotta break his hand," Liu Wu muttered to himself. "Old Shi, help me again"
Shi Lin knew what Li Wenjun was holding on his phone, but he wasn't sure if Liu Wu was the murderer, if he was, then he was indeed pretending to be quite similar.
Shi Lin helped grab Li Wenjun's arm, and then Liu Wu grabbed his fingers hard.
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pull out a ball of paper from his hand.
said it was a paper ball, but in fact it was just half of the fragmentary photo, but because Li Wenjun tried too hard, the photo was pressed and deformed.
Among the three of them, only Shi Lin has seen this photo, Liu Wu and Meng Yao may not have seen it, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to look at the state expressions of these two people.
Liu Wu slowly opened the paper ball, and when the photo appeared in front of the two of them, Shi Lin didn't see that they were too surprised.
Rather, both of them were stunned for a moment, and then gradually turned into surprise.
"This old stone, what's going on?" Liu Wu turned his head and asked Shi Lin.
"I can explain this, why don't we go back to the house?"
Shi Lin left here first and returned to the living room, while Liu Wu and Meng Yao glanced at each other before getting up and walking towards the living room.
"Captain, you say, is Lao Shi the murderer?"
"I don't know, but at the moment, he seems to be the most suspicious"
Liu Wu didn't say anything, and walked into the living room with the photo.
When Shi Lin saw them walk in, he patted the sofa next to him and motioned for them to sit there.
He only spoke when he saw them all sitting down.
"Half a month ago, I escaped from the death game, that game is similar to this one, it is an undercover game, and it was pure luck that I was able to escape from there"
"After coming out of there, I didn't meet the organizer of the game, which you call Number 2, and when I wanted to go out through the exit, I suddenly fainted, maybe because I was too tired, or maybe I was seriously injured, in short, I lost consciousness."
"When I woke up again, I was lying in a meadow with nothing around, no houses, no roads, just weeds as far as the eye could see, and I even suspected that I had been thrown into the wilderness by them."
"I walked in one direction for a long time, and finally found a path, but it was not a road"
"I don't know how long I walked, hunger and exhaustion came back to me, and just as I was about to faint, Mrs. Mary appeared, and it was she who saved me and brought me here"
"Do you know where the hell this is?" Meng Yao asked softly. "Didn't you try to get out of here?"
"Of course I tried, but I failed," Shi Lin shakes
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
shook his head. "It's full of weeds all around, and you can't see the end of it, and I estimate that it should be about a few dozen miles away, but I can't be sure."
"Mrs. Mary told me that it used to be a forest, but after a sandstorm, all the houses, the trees, were destroyed, and only a few sturdy houses remained, including hers."
"You mean, there are other people around here?" Liu Wu asked.
"That's right!" Shi Lin nodded. "There are about five households here, one in each of the south, east and west, and this is the central one."
"Not far from here, there is a square, which is said to be a square, but to be honest, it should only be a lawn"
"That's where Mrs. Mary and I met?"
Shi Lin deliberately said the contents of the missing half of the photo, wanting to test the reaction of the two. But neither of them changed their expressions, only slightly surprised.
"Men? What man? Meng Yao asked suspiciously.
"He should be talking about the person who was torn off the part" Liu Wu turned his head to look at Shi Lin and asked softly. "Am I right?"
"That's right, this photo was taken by me and Mrs. Mary in the square, and it's because the man suddenly came over and wanted to take a picture, so this photo appeared."
"But now the photo is torn in half, which means that the murderer doesn't want us to see it"
"To be precise, he doesn't want us to see that man, the man who looks the same as him!"
Liu Wu and Meng Yao were both carried away by the current situation, Meng Yao was fine, because she had discussed with Shi Lin for a while before, but Liu Wu was very puzzled, and he didn't understand what they were talking about?
"Can you explain it to me? Who's that man? Isn't this game just us? ”
"In fact, that man is the murderer, but one of us played his identity, so that caused the man to disappear, and there were only a few of us in this villa"
"It's role-playing, you see?"
"But I don't have a script, do I?"
Liu Wu's face was dazed, and his overwhelmed eyes made Shi Lin almost eliminate suspicion of him.
"None of us have a script, which means that this game probably doesn't need a script, it's just that everyone has a character, or maybe only the killer has an additional character, and that's the man in the picture!"
"Oh, I see!" After thinking for a while, Liu Wu shouted excitedly. "In other words, one of us played the role of the man, and he tore him up because he was afraid that we would see the picture, and then this broken picture appeared!"
"That's right," Shi Lin nodded in agreement. "So, we just need to figure out who the man is now!"
Everyone had a look of understanding, but this game is far from that simple.
Li Wenjun is dead, there is one less suspect, in addition to Meng Yao, there are three suspects, no one knows who is the real murderer.
Meng Yao, as the only person who was not suspicious, looked at the two people in front of her, and gradually raised her guard.
