…………

Song Dabai finally spoke, "Da Han, I think the inference just now is very reasonable. Indeed, after this explanation, the contradiction in the record of the lawyer was eliminated. ”

"Thanks." I feel quite happy to be praised like this.

Zhang Lao Tongtang closed his eyes and thought, and Xuan also agreed, "I also think that this explanation is correct." ”

Li Yuanfeng seemed to say: "Da Han, is there anything to add?" ”

"Nope. That's it. The murder cases in the workshop, the murder of people in the secret room, etc., have not been solved. ”

…………

Li Yuanfeng turned his face away and said in an inquiring tone: "Zhang Beitang, what do you think of the firewood room where Lei Sheng's body is placed in a state of secret room?" ”

Zhang Lao held his pointed chin for no reason, "That's it......... It is the most shocking of all the murders in the Wolf King Workshop. ”

"Why?"

"Everyone should feel the same way. The two doors that allow you to enter and exit the room are also locked from the inside. Of course, when the others broke down the door, there was no sign of the prisoner in the room, and it was as if it had disappeared out of thin air. ”

"yes."

"However, the location of Lei Sheng's corpse is really strange. It was clear from the lawyer's notebook that the face-covering body had fallen under a wooden table in the center of the room. When the door was slammed open, this was what Lu Lawyer saw. ”

…………

Li Yuanfeng nodded in agreement and looked at everyone, "That's it." ”

"I thought the murderer might have used mirrors or something, but then I found out that it was impossible to use this technique here."

"Not bad at all. Lei Sheng's body was under the table, and his shoulders and feet were sticking out of the table, so it was impossible for the prisoner to place the mirror between the two legs of the table so that he could hide behind the mirror. Of course, there was no other place to hide. ”

"Yes, it does. In Lei Sheng's murder case, that method had to be ruled out from the beginning. ”

…………

"My lord, in response to this situation in the secret room, we have to come up with a completely different method. But is it possible? ”

"Probably."

…………

However, we don't even have a clue to the murder in the secret room.

He looked at everyone timidly, "So, is this incident really committed by a terrifying monster that can pass through a thick stone wall?" ”

"Nothing like that, Mr. Zeng." Zhang Lao shook his head calmly, "It's just a statement of facts." The lock of the firewood room was just a simple latch, not a complicated lock. All you need to do is use a thin wire, wire, fishing line or a nail in the door to fasten the latch from the outside. ”

"Huh? Is it really possible? ”

"Yes. However, these are only discussions. The question is, why did the prisoner turn that firewood room into a secret room? ”

“……… The prisoner went to such great lengths to lock both doors? Even if the prisoner did use this method, the motive is still unknown. ”

…………

"Perhaps, it is to make people feel threatened or frightened, to create the illusion of a monster?"

"The mere sight of the face-covering corpse is shocking enough."

"I can't think of a reason for that." He shrugged his shoulders in a general manner, indicating that he was completely confused.

…………

Li Yuanfeng has been drinking tea silently, and only now did he ask questions, "Da Han, assuming that the 'Sihefang' is a fact, then ......... When Lu Lawyer returned from Nuwa Cave, he found an unknown corpse in the cellar? So who is it? ”

"As inferred in the book, it should be Ding Mi from the Jinke Tax Department. Yes, before that, Guan Yuan, who was attacked by fierce beasts in the mountains and was dying, was also locked up in the Wolf King Fang with Ding Mi, and they were probably waiting for an opportunity to escape. ”

"Why are the guests invited to the Wolf King Fang locked up in the Fang?"

"Of course, to get rid of them, so that they can't escape........."

"With the whole square sealed, even the murderer can't get out of there, can he?"

"yes!"

…………

"Zhang Baitang." Song Dabai added, "In this way, how did the six people who were involved in this matter go to another wolf king fang?" ”

"That's a good question, Dabai. That's the crux of this inference. In fact, all six were deceived. In other words, the six of them did go to the Wolf King Workshop, but they were all taken to another workshop built in the same place without anyone noticing. Of course, the six people who were deceived were all led away in a state of confusion. ”

"What?"

…………

Song Dabai made a voice from his throat, "If that's the case, then ......... Is it true that there is a tunnel that connects two squares but the victims have not discovered it, and the prisoners shuttle between the two sides at the right time to commit all kinds of murders? ”

"Not bad at all. The prisoner hid in that secret tunnel, going back and forth between the two squares, and constantly harming people. In the same way, the victims could not find any trace of the prisoner in the workshop. ”

"It's really surprising, Zhang Beitang. That's it, that's it......... The strange secrets in the Wolf King's Fang are reasonable. Song Dabai said happily.

Zhang Lao nodded with his cousin.

…………

"Oh yes!" Apart from the new inferences of Mr. Zhang's companion, there is no other convincing assertion.

Li Yuanfeng raised his chin slightly and slowly opened his hand. "Zhang Beitang, this is really a high opinion. However, before we can establish this argument, we still have to find common ground between the victims and the motives of the murderers. None of the results of the current investigation have any substantial evidence or clues. ”

"Yes, yes. But it's not easy to find out. ”

"Na......... Doesn't that seem like a good idea? Zhang Lao accompanied the hall with a given expression and looked around at everyone.

I reached for the rest of my tea and rethought it.

In the information currently known, there is no agreement between the victims.

If we want to uncover the truth of the incident, do we have to carefully re-examine each person's past?

The mystery of the event is still unpredictable, and the fear that comes with the doubts will not know when it will dissipate.........

…………

…………

It was cold in the middle of the night, and it was raining outside, and it was crackling.

Each of us is thinking, trying to find the truth from several discourses.

Song Dabai looked around from time to time.

Mr. Zhang held his thin chin.

Luo Feng seemed to be waking up from a dream, his eyes were closed, his expression was gloomy, and he sat in the chair in a daze.

Li Yuanfeng left his seat, walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked at the rain outside.

When he returned to his seat after refilling the candlestick, the servant happened to bring new tea.

…………

I took a sip of hot tea and said to Li Yuanfeng, who was back in his seat, "Yes." We just spoke all the time. But it seems to ........."

"I'm sorry, but it's not enough to tell people right now. There are many doubts, and the closer you get to the truth, the more cautious you must be. ”

"But there's always something to say?"

…………

Li Yuanfeng nodded in a general manner: "Got it......... When inferring the Wolf King Fang incident, there are several very important doubts. ”

"Some of them have been mentioned before, but they have to be repeated."

…………

What is the reason for the guests who were invited to the Wolf King Fang to be trapped in the ancient square? Is it convenient to harm them?

Before being trapped, the six guests had gone out of the workshop once through the "Tiger Cave". What is the purpose of these actions? Or is it just accidental?

Is there an implicit deception of the prisoner?

If the wolf king fang has one or two. Deep underground, is there a secret passage that connects the two wolf squares?

In the end, what is the use of the empty third floor of the Wolf King Square?

…………

"Based on the records of the lawyer Lu Lawyer, these doubts are quite worth exploring. And these issues must be really related to this case. If you can find reasonable answers to each question, the mystery of the Wolf King Fang should be able to come to light. ”

As I sorted out my thoughts, I said, "Actually, the suspicions at the beginning couldn't be more obvious. They were all locked up in the same place so that the murderer could commit the crime. ”

"General......... That's probably what everyone thinks. Li Yuanfeng bluntly agreed.

Song Dabai leaned forward, "Yuanfeng, I have some questions about the tunnel, why is this important?" These people just think that the tunnels are very rare, so they pass by there on the pretext of picnics, don't they? ”

"On the face of it, it's this." Regarding this, Li Yuanfeng also agreed in a roundabout way.

Zhang Lao put his hands on the table, his fingers interlaced, and he was silent.

…………

Song Dabai adjusted his sitting posture and glanced around, "I have already shown Uncle Ding's notebook to Uncle Ding as requested." I think in the near future, if he sees anything, he will take the initiative to contact us! ”

"His eyes would have widened when he saw the book!" Li Yuanfeng laughed.

…………

…………

Song Dabai: "In addition, what does it mean to ask in the end?" ”

Li Yuanfeng turned his head sideways, "In the murder case of Wolf King Fang, the top floor is really unpredictable. ”

"There is no word in the lawyer's book, and we have no way of knowing the situation inside."

"Yes."

"That's how it is." Song Dabai nodded, "Indeed, it's good to clarify the doubts." If you can grasp the opportunity to break the game, it is also worth celebrating. Back to what I said just now, Yuanfeng, can't you really start a discussion on the truth of this matter? Or is it based on what can't tell us? ”

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang's companion also expressed dissatisfaction, "Yes." How can you not see anything? ”

…………

Li Yuanfeng glanced at the room, "This is a fact, and the inference is not clear." ”

…………

He looked at us in turn, and asked a question,

"If you remove the people in the workshop and the outsider Uncle Wang, then the people killed in the Wolf King Fang are all He'an people from Shili City, this is the forgotten link between the victims, and it is also the only common denominator of the victims!"

…………

…………

Li Yuanfeng, Zhang Lao and I accompanied the hall to the He'an ticket number.

The purpose of this trip is to once again investigate the events and suspicions that happened in the 'Distinguished Guest Department'.

In the afternoon, we decided to walk to the Hop An ticket number.

…………

Before leaving, he said to us, "I have already greeted the main department of the 'Distinguished Guest Department'. Adults can enter and exit the He'an ticket number by themselves, and can also listen to the news of the 'Distinguished Guest Department'. ”

"When will we visit?" Li Yuanfeng asked.

"The main department said that if it was afternoon, it could go over at any time."

"That's right......... Anyway, the He'an ticket number will not escape. It's this, just look at the mountains. ”

…………

The area around the He'an ticket number is just as stated in another book of Lu Lawyer.

The smell of rain and soil.

Outside, or in a different location, compared with the noisy Shilicheng Street, the people here seem quite leisurely, whether it is a person or a living attitude.

…………

"Look, mountains." Li Yuanfeng stood by the tree and pointed to the endless green mountains ——— far away.

The clouds seemed to give the distant scenery a hazy feel.

“……… The Wolf King's Workshop is somewhere in that mountain range. Zhang Laotang, who was standing next to Li Yuanfeng, covered his hands on his eyebrows and looked at it.

"yes." Looking, the voice of the answer was exhausted.

…………

We stared at the mountain scenery for a while.

The missing people ——— their corpses——— maybe somewhere in that mountain range!

…………

We decided to go for tea.

The location is the late Lu Ke, the guest tea shop where he met Uncle Wang.

…………

…………

We finally went to the He'an ticket number, and it was the beginning of the unitary hour when we arrived.

The dark gray old store where the He'an ticket number is located is an ancient relic that survived a hundred years ago.

The appearance is solemn.

…………

We told the guys in the store that we wanted to meet Duran, the current head of He'an———.

Not much.

A middle-aged man who is as fat as a snowman appears.

That man is the treasurer here. He led us to the side court.

…………

We entered the room with its lead.

Duran sat behind a large desk in an open room, and as soon as he saw us, he put down his notebook and came out from behind the desk to welcome us.

Duran was about fifty years old, gray-haired, and looked like a good man.

Since his death due to tax evasion, he has taken over as the head of this 'Distinguished Guest Department'.

…………

Let's introduce it.

After showing each other a little.

We went inside.

…………

…………

Duran smiled. Maybe he likes to drink, and his voice sounds a little hoarse, "No, no. Today's He'an ticket number is dismally tight. To tell you the truth, our prestige has collapsed as a result of the series of disasters that have occurred this year. Originally, this was the place where the large households in the Ten Mile City stored gold and silver, but now it is no longer the same. From the murder of Yang Ping, the mysterious disappearance of six distinguished guests, to the suicide of the former main department, our business has lost more than half, and even our long-term month-end dividends are about to be forced to stop! ”

"It's a shame." Zeng had a sad expression, "Just like I told you earlier." For those things. Master Li has some suspicions and wants to investigate further, so you must help us. ”

Du Lan shifted his gaze to Li Yuanfeng, "My lord, I also said last time that I don't know anything about the 'Distinguished Guest Department' that was sent to the Wolf King Fang. It was a self-determination and was conducted in secrecy. ”

"I understand that. However, we are not here from the standpoint of the official residence, nor do we want to ask for guilt. All we need to do is get a little clue, and that's enough. ”

"yes, actually, I'm the same. If this is the end of all things, we will not be able to regain the prestige of the former one. If only there were any direct clues that would allow us to see the truth of those events. ”

Duran: "So, my lord, what do I have to do?" ”

once looked at Li Yuanfeng.

"Mr. Du, you don't have to do anything. However, can we pass down the order so that we can enter and exit freely in the Hop An ticket number until tomorrow evening? ”

"Oh, it's a trifle. I'll talk to a few shopkeepers. If you have any other needs, don't hesitate to tell the guys directly, and let them pass it on. Duran promised with a cheerful expression.

Let's go.
