Lu Ke's account XII.

…………

…………

I made a big mistake.

I've always had a serious misunderstanding about this case: I got the beginning of this horrific case wrong.

I always thought that the starting point of all events was in the Wolf King Fang, but I didn't expect that this was a fundamental mistake, and at the same time an unforgivable mistake.

…………

This series of events did not happen after we visited this wolf king's place.

It was when I reunited with Song Dabai.

…………

…………

Maybe it started when the six of us were invited to the Wolf King's Place.

Or, the origin of everything can even be traced back to the time when this wolf king square was completed.

Of course, none of these thoughts helped.

But through these new understandings, it may be possible to look at the case from another angle.

…………

For example, I am reminded of several precursors to this case.

…………

When Song Dabai and I went to visit the private lawyer, there were other guests at the time, so we waited for a while.

Later, I saw a Xia Zhu folding fan on the table that seemed to have been forgotten by the previous guest.

Looking back on it now.

That should be Uncle Wang's stuff.

It was the folding fan he was holding when I first met him at the small tea house in Shili City.

…………

In other words, Uncle Wang had met with the private lawyer before Song Dabai and me, and he probably went to the private lawyer to talk about the case and ask him for gold and silver.

But the private prosecutor offered him gold and silver in exchange for harming me.

This is the meaning of Uncle Wang's dying words.

…………

The self-counsel must have planned a long time ago to kill me and take my family business.

As soon as I died, as my uncle's relative, all the family property left by my grandfather would fall into the pockets of the private counsel and let him squander it.

And Uncle Wang appeared at this time.

So, the self-lawyer seized his weakness and confused him with gold and silver, and in exchange for the condition, Uncle Wang secretly solved me in the Wolf King Fang!!

…………

Not only this, but my eyes seem to see more and more clearly.

A thought crossed my mind, the corpse that had disappeared for no apparent reason.

I finally know the identity of the corpse now.

The corpse was Timmi, the official of our courtroom.

Yes, it must be so, the corpse is very consistent with the age and size of this person.

…………

Ding Mi is the one who disappeared with Guan Yuanmu.

I discussed the matter of these two people with Song Dabai.

They came to the deep forest in search of evidence for the case, but their whereabouts were unknown.

After that, although Guan Yuan, who was dying, was discovered, he died not long after.

Timmi's whereabouts are still unknown.

…………

The nameless corpse I spotted in the cellar. Although it is not easy to judge the identity with a gray cloth bag on his head, it should be a slightly older person.

Timmy was probably in his fifties, moderately built, neither fat nor thin, and almost exactly matched the features of the corpse.

…………

Song Dabai's inference was indeed correct.

Ding Mi and Guan Yuan must have been kidnapped at the same time and then locked up in the Wolf King Fang.

Although Guan Yuan later escaped from the Wolf King Fang, he was chased by the beasts of the deep forest and died halfway.

As for Ding Mi, as I saw in the cellar of this wolf king's fang, he died under an iron nail rake.

This is recent.........

…………

…………

I know.

I see, it must be so.

This tragedy turned out to be based on this reason.

…………

Why did I forget something so important?

If only I had remembered it earlier!!

Of course, there are still a lot of things I don't understand.

…………

Who kidnapped Ding Mi and Guan Yuan?

Who is it that harms them?

Who was the one who harmed Timmi and put a bag of ash on his head?

…………

Enigma, enigma, enigma, enigma, all mysteries!!

Does these things have anything to do with the arrogant attitude of the human world after we came to the Wolf King's Fang, I don't even understand this.

As a result, compared to the whole great mystery of Japan, the doubts I have clarified are only a drop in the ocean.

…………

But......... But, but, but!! Yes, yes, yes

Is that really the case?

Am I really right in my inference?

May six.

I'm not sure, and the more I think about it, the more confused I become.

I don't have any real evidence, and even my doubts about the private prosecutor are based on Uncle Wang's words.

…………

I have no conclusive evidence to prove that Uncle Wang met with the private prosecutor before me, and I cannot prove that the folding fan belonged to Uncle Wang.

If Wang Bo threatened him with the unfair reversal of the case by the self-litigator, why did he later bring up the same thing when Song Dabai brought it up

Will the private advocate be so aggressive?

Was that acted?

…………

But it's not like that......... In any case, Uncle Wang's words had a considerable impact on me.

The whole world of my life was completely reversed in that instant.

I can't trust anyone anymore.

My heart was full of suspicion.

Even I couldn't believe it.

…………

If I could, I wish this whole nightmare was fake.

OMG, please wake me up from my dreams!!

…………

…………

Now, I'm looking for the only thing I'm sure of.

That's the foundation of everything.

…………

…………

I can't figure out the true face of the murderer.

I couldn't even figure out why we were doing this.

…………

Why do we all have to be killed?

Why did things turn out the way they did?

There is no answer to everything, everything is chaos.

To be honest, I'm not reconciled.

I've never been one to be afraid of dying, but the way I imagine dying isn't so unreasonable.

…………

I also thought that the murderer might have been hired by a self-sentencing prosecutor, like Uncle Wang.

But if so, why were others killed?

It doesn't make sense at all.

…………

The human murderer that Uncle Wang has been chasing really exists.

This crazy monster wants to cut us all down.

I have to understand it that way, otherwise there is no other possibility, isn't it?

…………

As for the motives of the human underworld, I also have some insights.

That's what Ma San has been looking for.

…………

…………

The legendary cannon of the gods.

If that magic cannon is really hidden in this wolf king fang, what will happen in the end?

It is said that those who possess this cannon will receive the power to dominate the world, as well as endless gold, silver and jewelry.

The people who wanted to monopolize this cannon decided to kill us, and then slowly searched in the Wolf King's Fang, which should make sense.

…………

If the "magic cannon" is really as the legend says, it has some kind of mysterious power.

Then, it is very common for some people to want to take it for themselves.

…………

I know.

I understand!!

I understand the truth of this incident!

So that's the case, but six!!

…………

"Magic cannon" is the cause of all homicides.

I get it.

I found it.

I see.

I've found out the truth!

It's the cannon!

That cannon is the reason for everything!!

Great, but six.

I've finally revealed the secret, it's great!!

…………

Ahh I'm going to calm down.

Calm down.

Don't rejoice too soon.

I'll have to think about this insight.

…………

Ah no, no, no.........

Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

What if you know that now?

It's too late, and the dead can't come back to life anyway.

It didn't work. It didn't work. It didn't work!

…………

No, no!!

That's not true. That's not true............

This is by no means useless. Not useless. This must have its use!!

At the very least, I'm going to finish my notes.

In order for the murderer to be punished, I have to keep a detailed record of everything.

…………

May six.

Anyway, I decided to start with this new insight and start over the whole story.

…………

…………

……… My head hurts, and my eyes blur with tiredness.

No, I can't sleep, I have to continue.

You have to list the time when the event occurred.

…………

On May 13, the body of Yang Ping's brother was found at the back door of the He'an ticket number.

On the fifteenth day of May, Song Dabai told me about the legend of the human underworld.

After noon on May 24, we arrived at the Wolf King Fang.

On May 25, we visited the winery. Lai Mo mistakenly thought I was the caretaker of the winery, Beiku, and attacked me.

…………

On May 26, he visited Nuwa Cave. At noon, I found a nameless corpse in the cellar of the Wolf King's Square. Attacked by an old man. Later, the body disappeared.

…………

On the morning of May 27, Lei Sheng's body was found. The scene of the murder was a secret room. We were locked up in the Wolf King's Square.

That night, Mo Si was killed in the kitchen, and the murderer disappeared.

At night, Mrs. Tong was killed in her room, which was a secret room.

Uncle Wang was found seriously injured in the underground secret passage "Tiger Cave".

The whereabouts of the subordinate Guzi are unknown.

…………

On the morning of May 28, Lai Mo's body was found in the cellar of Wolf King Fang, and the scene was a secret room.

In the afternoon, Ma San was poisoned.

In the evening, Uncle Wang died.

…………

…………

Ah, what a terrible tragedy!

The calamity is simply spreading faster and faster......

But I had to hold my breath and concentrate on finding out the truth about what happened. It is also a mourning for the dead.

…………

I put aside my preconceived notions and started thinking about the case.

…………

As a result, several assumptions were made.

To this day, I still think that the real murderer has been hiding somewhere in the Wolf King's Fang, waiting for an opportunity to harm us.

But could I be wrong with this idea?

The obvious example is the death of Mrs. Tong, even if it is an unprecedented secret room that harms people, as long as you abandon preconceived ideas, it is not impossible to break the situation.

…………

…………

The problem is in Mrs. Tong's voice.

…………

When Mrs. Tong was attacked by the murderer in her room, she let out a terrible scream.

Dafeng, who was in the aisle outside, heard the shout.

At that time, the room was a secret room.

But what if that sound is fake?

Suppose that the scream was made by another woman from another room, imitating Mrs. Tong's voice.

This means:

Mrs. Tong was dead before everyone heard the scream.

…………

In this way, although it was only a short moment, Dafeng's alibi was not established.

The mystery of the secret room is solved.

…………

According to this inference, the actual situation is as follows: First, Dafeng entered the house on the pretext of delivering tea, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to use a sword or other blade hidden under the couch to place a blade under the couch to stab Mrs. Tong, and then threw the murderous blade outside the corridor window and closed the window........."

“……… Then Dafeng locked the door from the inside, and then hid it behind the door panel in the room, possibly behind a low cabinet. ”

“……… Then, we heard what looked like a loud cry from Mrs. Tong. When everyone came to the room, they pushed open the door and entered, and saw the scene of Mrs. Tong being killed......... At this time, Dafeng took the opportunity to walk out from behind the door panel........."

…………

…………

However, there are several problems with this inference.

In such a short period of time, could Dafeng really stab Mrs. Tong, throw the knife out of the window, close the window, and then hide to learn to speak?

Moreover, there is no trace of red splashing on Dafeng's body at all.

Unfortunately, this inference does not hold water.

In any case, the time to commit the crime is simply too short. And Dafeng's voice is not the same.

…………

…………

Regarding Lai Mo's death, I also thought about it.

This inference is based on the previous assumption that the murderer was Rego's butler.

…………

First, suppose that there are two padlocks in the cellar of the Wolf King's Square.

Of course, padlocks A and B must look the same.

Lai Mo was locked in the cellar by a padlock, and the key was on Uncle Wang.

The murderer, Grand Butler Rego, took advantage of the night to break the padlock of A, entered the cellar and harmed Lai Mo, and then locked the door with the padlock B.

The next morning, after we found out that Lai Mo was killed, he tried to use the key A on Uncle Wang's body to open the padlock B, but he couldn't open it.

Therefore, the chief butler took advantage of our inattention and secretly replaced key A with key B.

……………

But there is also a problem with this inference.

First, the padlock is Wang Bo's, and there is only one.

The butler can't prepare the same thing beforehand.

In addition, the murderer actually does not need to arrange the scene as a secret room, after all, it is impossible to hide that kind of tragedy.

…………

…………

May six.

I thought a lot, but it was useless.

The biggest question is.

It is useless to suspect that the people in the Wolf King's Workshop are among the victims, and the Steward Rego and the Lady of the Steward are also killed today.........

…………

That's right. I'm going to write it down.

How stupid!!

I forgot to write down such an important thing.

…………

My head had almost stopped, and tiredness and drowsiness had brought my mind closer and closer to haze.

I need to hurry, the kerosene lamp is going out.

…………

…………

This morning, on May 29, I was in the firewood room and found the bodies of the chief butler and his wife, Lei.

The appearance of the corpse is very scary.

As soon as I stepped into the wood room, I immediately smelled a foul smell that wafted into the hallway.

…………

The kerosene lamp in the firewood room was extinguished, and only the kerosene lamp in my hand and the light of the murder scene were left.

Although it is blocked by the body of the big housekeeper and it is not very clear, the wife of the big housekeeper should be unrecognizable.

Just like Lei Sheng and Lai Mo, they were covered with gray cloth bags on their heads and were hit hard.

…………

But sixth, I'm imagining a very ridiculous thing, could the murderer who committed these evil deeds be some mountain hunter?

Crazy, crazy!

My mind is not in my right place anymore.

…………

I don't know exactly what happened to them, and I don't want to find out.

One glimpse of the horrific scene, I immediately turned and fled.

…………

I don't know what's wrong with Ray and the people, I haven't seen them for a long time.

I didn't hear their voices, I didn't perceive their breath.

I think they probably have been killed.

…………

In addition to the murderer, I may be the only one left in this ancient workshop who is still alive!!

But I'm going to be killed, too.

I'm probably going to be killed by the murderer with a nail rake like everyone else.........

No, it can't be like this!!

But!

But I can't do anything anymore, I can't do anything about it.

…………

I forgot to write one thing.

The guy took the repeater from the blade room and flew away Gu Zi and Uncle Wang.

When I went to the firewood room today to get a kerosene lamp, I was also shot by that guy, but luckily it only hit the hem of my shirt.........

However, the next time, the arrows of the repeater may fly into my body, just like Uncle Wang.

…………

Let's jump from the window!!

That's all I have to do to get a chance of survival.

I had already opened the ventilation window in the hallway and was ready to act when I finished writing my notes.

The time is almost up.

When the kerosene lamp went out, I couldn't continue writing.

…………

The wind was playing outside the window.

The wind blows from south to north in this deep forest.

I don't feel the cold anymore.

The night sky is obscured by clouds, and the stars are not visible, but occasionally the moon can be seen through the gaps in the clouds.

…………

May six.

Under this pitch-black sky, you're on the far other side.

May six.

I hope you can forgive me.

This is my final statement, Mark six.

…………

May six.

I'm running out of time.

…………

I heard a voice outside the door.

The sound of footsteps crashing between the iron shoes and the ground approached from the bottom of the wooden ladder.

My time of death is coming............

…………
