Chapter 46: Who is the Black Hand?
The doctor's words reminded me that these are indeed unexplainable questions, but who wants to kill Uncle Chen?
"You say, could it be the innkeeper? Didn't Sister Yang see him turn into a zombie with her own eyes? Except for him, no one should have such a motive, right? "The innkeeper was the first person I thought of, the people around us were the most mysterious, and the doctor suspected that he was the one who survived the third wave of people sent by the company.
But the doctor shook his head and said that it was impossible, "It shouldn't be him, if he wants to kill Uncle Chen, just don't give the antidote medicine, there's no need to do more." ”
As soon as I heard it, judging from the attitude of the shopkeeper towards us after our accident, he seemed to be very worried about our safety, otherwise he would not have helped to find an antidote, and warned us three times and twice. But apart from him, there are no other normal people in the ancient town? There was a mysterious old man in the coffin shop before, but after witnessing the ruins of the coffin shop, it is difficult to say whether the old man is a human or a ghost, even if he wants to start, it should be against us, Chen Bo has nothing to do with him.
As for the abnormal townspeople, it is even more impossible, and it is not difficult to see from the sluggish reaction of the noodle stall owner, as long as we don't provoke them, they will not care about us.
I really couldn't think of someone who was going to kill Uncle Chen, so I had to look at the doctor, but I noticed that his expression was different, and my heart couldn't help but move, and asked, "Have you already guessed who it is?" ”
"Nope!" The doctor smiled at me and said, "It's just that the scope has been determined, as for who it is, I don't have a clue for the time being!" ”
"Oh? Range...... Could it be? ”
A lightning thought popped through my mind, and I was taken aback and asked, "Do you suspect these people in the tour group did it?" ”
Because of the excitement, my voice was a little louder, and the doctor hurriedly made a silent gesture at me, lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet! ”
His voice was a little dissatisfied, and after glancing at me, he suddenly smiled: "Your reaction is not slow, it seems that you have grown a lot in the year after graduation, and you are much smarter than before." ”
Listening to his praise, I felt awkward in my heart, what kind of words are these fucking words, how does it sound like the tone of the elders praising the juniors. I rolled my eyes and told him to stop talking nonsense and get down to business.
The doctor restrained his smile, changed back to a light and breezy appearance, and said, "In this way, let me ask you a question first, now can you analyze the motive of the arsonist who wants to kill Uncle Chen?" ”
I was stunned, and said in my heart that I was not a fucking murderer, how could I know his motives? However, after thinking about it, I felt that it was not right, and it was impossible for the doctor to ask this question for no reason, so I began to analyze in my mind the hidden relationship between what had happened recently and the murder of Uncle Chen.
The first thing I thought of was the disappearance of Boss Li the night before, and there was no clue at the scene except for a strange bloody handprint left on the window edge. At the time, I suspected that it was a zombie, because I was also attacked the night before Boss Li disappeared, but the attack was completely accidental, and if I hadn't been curious and put my head out of the window to check the situation, the corpse with the corpse charm attached to the window would not have done anything to me.
So when I saw the open window of Boss Li's room that night, my first thought was that he had suffered what happened to me the night before, but he was not so lucky, and the whole person was dragged out of the window by zombies. However, what happened after that made this speculation very unlikely, because after Boss Li's accident, I had carefully checked the street and found nothing, but there was still an accident on the third floor, and the bloody handprints of Boss Li's room also appeared on the window edge.
In this way, it is very obvious that the person who attacked Xia He was the same thing as the one who attacked Boss Li, or the same person. After taking Boss Li away, the attacker took advantage of the fact that our attention was all focused on Boss Li's room, and prepared to attack Xia He again, but because Uncle Chen's early departure broke its plan, and Uncle Chen was not an ordinary person, after saving Xia He, he immediately started with the attacker, and finally was attacked and poisoned and unconscious.
From Chen Bo's poisoned wound, it can also be ruled out that it was a zombie, because it was caused by a poisonous needle, if a zombie wants to kill you, how can it be possible to use a poisonous needle? That's clearly artificial.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, as if I had caught something, and I looked at the doctor in surprise: "Could it be that the person who attacked Boss Li and Xia He was the same as the one who set the fire this time?" ”
"Oh, you thought of it so quickly?" The doctor's expression was a little surprised, as if he couldn't imagine that I would figure out this relationship in such a short time.
After receiving the doctor's affirmation, my expression became solemn, and I briefly said what I had just thought.
"You asked me to analyze the arsonist's motive for killing Uncle Chen, and said that the person who set the fire was a member of the tour group, and this person tried his best to make the illusion that the fire was accidental, obviously afraid of suspicion. If the person who attacked Boss Li and Xia He the night before was the same person who set the fire, then this person's motive for killing Uncle Chen was obvious. ”
"Kill people!" The doctor took my words and said lightly. ”
I nodded, and continued to express my thoughts: "The possibility of the townspeople and the shopkeeper setting the fire is ruled out, the possibility that the arsonist is a member of the tour group is very high, and if it is a person in the team and wants to kill Uncle Chen, then it can only be extinguished." Because on the night of Boss Li's accident, Uncle Chen happened to break through the scene of the man's murder, and there was a fierce fight with him, so he must have seen the other party's face clearly. In a hurry, the other party released a poisonous needle to shoot Uncle Chen, and if nothing happened, Uncle Chen would have died of poison at that time, but unfortunately that person missed you. ”
With that, I looked at the doctor, who hummed in agreement and asked me to continue.
I was not polite, and continued: "That person didn't expect that the first aid measures you took would alleviate Uncle Chen's poisoning and make him just fall into a dying state. As for Xia He, who was also present at the time, he somehow lost his memory and posed no threat to him, so Xia He has been fine. After that, we have been guarding Uncle Chen in pairs, and the other party has not had a chance to do it again, until the medicine given by the shopkeeper made Uncle Chen show signs of improvement, he began to be unable to sit still, and once Uncle Chen woke up, he would immediately identify him. ”
"Coincidentally, everyone was sent out today, leaving only the weak Xiao Li to take care of the inn, so the man took the opportunity to set fire to the mouth and make the illusion of an accidental fire."
After listening to my analysis, the doctor smiled and said, "It's amazing that you analyzed very accurately, and you could have thought of these things without my prompting." ”
I didn't have the slightest joy to sort out the truth of the matter, and frowned and asked him, "That's not right!" Although this analysis sounds very reasonable at first glance, if you think about it, you can see that there are many flaws. ”
"First, when Uncle Chen was attacked, Xia He was not in a coma, how could the person who sneaked up on him be sure that Xia He was frightened and amnesia-stricken? You know, when we heard the scream, we immediately rushed up to the third floor, and in such a short time, the person didn't have a chance to confirm it? ”
"Second, after hearing Xia He's scream at that time, I immediately identified the people present, except for Xia He and Uncle Chen and the missing Boss Li, everyone was present, and there was no possibility of committing the crime at all, but you said that the black hand was a person from the tour group, how could this be possible?"
"Finally, and most crucially, we are all in groups of three when we go out today, if someone leaves for too long, and the inn is on fire, the other two will definitely be suspicious, right? But isn't it strange that no one mentioned it at all? ”
All three of these issues are critical and impossible to explain, and as long as these three problems exist, the arsonist could never be a member of the tour group.
"You're thinking too absolutely!"
The doctor lifted his glasses, "Indeed, if it was before today, I am not sure, but now...... Do you remember that paper man? ”
"Paper man? Wait, what do you mean......"
My eyes widened, and I suddenly understood, and my heart said that I depend, why didn't I think of it? If the arsonist used heretical methods such as paper puppets, then even if he did it in front of us, we would not suspect him, because no one would have thought that the paper figures were controlled by him. And Uncle Chen himself is a Taoist priest, such a means can deceive others, but he will definitely not be able to deceive him, and it is even possible that in the process of fighting Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen has already detected who did it, which is also the fundamental reason why Uncle Chen must die but Xia He escaped.
Immeasurable your uncle, so that all three questions can be explained, and at the same time, I also thought of the faceless paper man who almost killed me and Luo Yi during the day, and I was shocked, could it be that it was also done by the mastermind behind the scenes?
I told my guess, and the doctor nodded approvingly, saying that he had already thought of it, so we had to keep an eye on it for the rest of the day, because he couldn't tell which of them was the black hand.
This conversation with the doctor in the afternoon made me even more uneasy, the black hand that attacked Boss Li and Xia He was hiding in the tour group, and this person also knew such strange methods, in the current predicament, this person hiding in the dark is undoubtedly a time bomb, maybe it will blow us to pieces at any time, everything that happened to me and Luo Yi today and the fire in the inn are examples.
Only, which of so many people could this person be?
Boss Li is the first person to be killed, and his life and death are still uncertain, so he can rule it out. Luo Yi has been acting with us, and she was almost murdered today, so it can't be her, and then Chen Bo and Xia He, who were also attacked, there are only nine people left.
Although Xiao Li was almost killed today, she still can't rule out her suspicion, because she is the one who has the most chance to set fire, and after the arson, she found that we rushed back, and it is not impossible to make the puppet knock herself out with some ruthless hands. Besides, she also has a motive for committing the crime, Boss Li beat her that day and deceived her feelings, if you want to say who hates Boss Li the most, it is probably her.
Then there is Ling Rou, her suspicion is slightly less, because Xia He and her are best friends, even if there is a conflict between the two, they will not have the heart to kill.
Wang Hanjun and his wife are the two I don't know the most in this line, Chen Yu is particularly vulnerable in the recent events, while Wang Hanjun is just the opposite, calm in the face of things, although he doesn't express his opinion much, but he has never seen him show a panicked look, very mysterious, so the suspicion of these two is not small.
As for Long Hair, this guy looks like a thief and a bad guy, but I think that the more he is a wicked person on the surface and a timid guy in his heart, the less likely he is to be the mastermind behind the scenes, because he doesn't have the courage at all, so the suspicion of Long Hair is also very small.
Then there is the driver and the tour guide Sister Yang, these two people are from the company, and we all know about these things that the company does, although Sister Yang confessed some things to us, but the doctor and I both know in our hearts that this woman is actually hiding a lot of things. She behaved well that night, but her reaction to waking up at the beginning had already betrayed her, although she also made a lot of explanations later, but this kind of behavior made us more suspicious, so the driver and Sister Yang were also very suspicious.
In the end, the last thing left is the couple Wang Xi and Dong Qian, to be honest, among these nine people, the two of them I don't want to doubt the most. These two people give us a very good impression, kind and warm-hearted, cheerful and uninhibited, no matter who they get along with, they will be very good friends. However, the timing of the first appearance of the two was really a bit of a coincidence.
I got acquainted with them in my hometown village, just after the Heavenly Witch Cult had been wiped out. Prior to this, the village had been locked down, and tourists from outside could not enter, until the remnants of the Heavenly Witch Sect were cleared by two mountain patrols, and the village was lifted, and Wang Xi Dong Qian was the first batch of tourists to enter the village after the ban was lifted.
I didn't have the slightest doubt when I met the two at first, but when I met again, the place where I met them was so sensitive. You must know that there is an abyss in his hometown of Yeling, there are three-eyed people, and there are evil spell patterns, and there are also evil evil suppression spells in Suo Ming Town, and there may also be traces left by the abyss and the three-eyed people, and the two of them have appeared such a special thing in the two places they arrived in a row, is this a bit too much of a coincidence?
This makes me have to suspect the two of them, the Taoist priest had told fortunes for the two of them, and calculated that the two of them would have a death calamity in the past month, and there was no solution, if they really had other intentions, then it was not impossible to respond to the death calamity, so the two were also very suspicious.
With such an analysis, there are seven people we need to focus on now: Xiao Li, Wang Hanjun and his wife, Sister Yang and the driver, as well as Wang Xi and Dong Qian.
The doctor told me that Uncle Chen's pulse and complexion had turned normal, and if nothing else, he would be able to wake up after tonight. He had deliberately informed everyone of the news in person when he checked for Uncle Chen just now, that is to say, the black hand hidden in the tour group also knew about the situation, if he didn't want to reveal his identity, he would definitely attack Uncle Chen tonight, we would ambush him in advance, and give him a surprise when the time came.
