Looking at the curtains swaying in the wind, Li Chengjian stuck his head out of the window and found that it was a cliff, and it was impossible for the murderer to escape from this window.

Huang Ziyang suddenly took out the tourist map of the ancient castle and looked at it seriously, "This is the East Gate!" ”

This sudden sentence made everyone feel inexplicable, and everyone's eyes looked at Huang Ziyang.

"Still don't understand?" Huang Ziyang put away the map, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "To summon the demon god, you must offer sacrifices in the four directions of the ancient castle, first the south gate, and now the east gate, hehe." The murderer's purpose is already very clear. ”

The whole castle is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, the south gate is the main gate, which is used for normal personnel access, and the other three gates are facing the cliff, which is for viewing and has no practical use. And Zhang Zhipeng's room is just above the east gate, and the location of the corpse is exactly the direction of the east gate.

Then everyone subconsciously looked at Zhang Zhigao again, the four brothers of the Zhang family, and he was left dead, which made people think that he was likely to be the third victim, or he was the murderer.

Luo Feng muttered in his heart, this family is dying one by one, in case they die all, even if we complete the commission to find "Star Tears", we won't have the money to collect it.

As soon as he looked up, he found that Wang Xiaoshan was staring at him, and he was startled, "Can you stop being so scary." ”

"Can you stop thinking about messy stuff all the time."

"Who—who's trying to mess up something?" Probably because the idea in his heart was guessed by Wang Xiaoshan, Luo Feng even stuttered when he spoke.

At three o'clock in the morning, everyone was sleepless.

Zhang Zhigao is 57 years old, the eldest brother of the four brothers in the castle, his wife Liang Fangmei is 52 years old, and his son Zhang Man is 29 years old.

The wife of the first deceased, Li Min, is 52 years old, the eldest son Zhang Dafeng is 25 years old, and the second son Zhang Xiaofeng is 20 years old.

The wife of the fourth of the four brothers of the Zhang family, Yang Huilan, is 40 years old (has been in a coma for one year), and her daughter Zhang Xian is 18 years old.

Li Chengjian, 32, police officer.

Huang Ziyang is 36 years old and his nephew Li Manfan is 23 years old, and they are both tourists who failed to leave in time.

There is also a housekeeper in the castle, Lao Ting, 58 years old, two security guards, Xiao Zhang and Ah Bin 23 years old, and a nanny in charge of the kitchen, Aunt Zhang, 46 years old.

and a pair of young couples who came to travel, Wang Xiaoshan and Luo Feng.

Everyone gathered in the hall.

Wang Xiaoshan counted people's heads back and forth, always feeling that something was wrong, and finally found out that there was a problem, at first everyone rushed out of the room because they heard a scream, but this scream did not come from the deceased Zhang Zhipeng, so there was another person who died? But no one said why.

"What happened to you just now?" Wang Xiaoshan asked Luo Feng in a low voice.

Aunt Zhang originally wanted to go to the kitchen to make some supper, but as soon as she left the room, she found a large pool of blood on the ground, and she screamed in fright. When we arrived, we saw Aunt Zhang sitting on the ground alone, her hands covered with blood, probably because her legs were weak and she couldn't stand firmly. ”

After listening to Luo Feng's words, Wang Xiaoshan looked at Aunt Zhang, who was still frightened on the sofa, and seemed to be frightened, and the housekeeper Lao Ting comforted her on the side.

I have to say that this aunt is also quite guts, in the middle of the morning in such a thrilling castle, and to go to the kitchen like those slaughterhouses in horror movies to cook supper, it really gives me goosebumps when I think about it. Only a nanny like Aunt Zhang, who has lived here for most of her life, has the courage.

As the only law enforcement officer in the venue, Li Chengjian felt that he had to shoulder his due responsibility. He asked everyone to explain where they were at the time of the murder. What to do?

Luo Feng, Zhang Zhigao, Zhang Dafeng, Li Chengjian, Huang Ziyang, Li Manfan, and the two security guards were all at Aunt Zhang's, Liang Fangmei and her son Zhang Man were in the room, and Li Min and her son Zhang Xiaofeng were in the room. Wang Xiaoshan and Zhang Xian in her mother's room.

So now the only one who doesn't have an alibi is the housekeeper Lao Ting, who did not appear at Aunt Zhang's place, and was also the last person to arrive at the deceased Zhang Zhipeng's room.

In the face of Li Chengjian's questioning, I don't know if he was really calm or because he was too old to speak quickly, Lao Ting said his situation at that time unhurriedly.

"I heard Aunt Zhang's cry and thought about going over to see what was going on, so I quickly got up and put on my shoes, I was so nervous that I forgot to turn on the lights, so I looked for shoes there in the dark, and finally found them after looking for a long time, and then I quickly ......put them on."

Looking at Lao Ting's slow way of speaking, Huang Ziyang really couldn't help it, "Lao Ting's housekeeper, can you talk about the point, you have been talking about finding a pair of shoes for five minutes." ”

In fact, this is also the voice of Wang Xiaoshan and Luo Feng, but out of respect for the old man, he didn't dare to urge in his heart, and when he heard Huang Ziyang urging the old court to say faster, he suddenly relaxed in his heart.

"I'm here to help Lao Ting speak, he just told me that he has always been so slow, and he can't speak well when he's old." In the end, Aunt Zhang, who had known Lao Ting for many years, came out to save the scene.

Lao Ting was because of his slow movements, and when he just walked out of the room and wanted to find Aunt Zhang, he saw that everyone had already run in the direction of Zhang Zhipeng's room, so he had to change his direction and not go to Aunt Zhang, but to Zhang Zhipeng. So I didn't see the old court at Aunt Zhang, and the old court was the last to appear at Zhang Zhipeng's place.

But this is all Lao Ting's own statement, no one can prove it for him, Li Chengjian has already listed Lao Ting as the first suspect.

Not only did Li Chengjian begin to doubt Lao Ting, but everyone else also looked at this old butler who had worked in the castle for more than 30 years with strange eyes.

"Is that you? The old court? Why did you kill Zhifeng? Zhang Zhifeng's wife, Li Min, suddenly rushed out, grabbed Lao Ting's collar and yelled.

Her two sons were frightened by their mother's sudden move, and they didn't react at once. However, Zhang Man stepped forward to hug Li Min for the first time, "Second aunt, don't be impulsive, how can it be Uncle Ting?" He has been serving our Zhang family here for more than 30 years. ”

Although Li Minren was hugged by Zhang Man, he was still emotional and cried.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly went to hold the old court who almost fell.

Seeing that this situation was about to be chaotic, Zhang Zhigao, as an elder in the family, spoke, "Aunt Zhang, you help the old court to go back to the room to rest." Dafeng, Xiaofeng, send your mother back to her room to rest. ”

"Yes."

Li Chengjian originally thought about whether to suggest that everyone gather in the hall and wait for dawn, so that the murderer would not be able to commit the murder. But when I look at this scene, I guess there is no way to wait for dawn here quietly. But Li Chengjian asked all people not to act alone, and once they found someone alone, they must immediately notify others.

So now it is Zhang Zhigao, his wife Liang Fangmei, 52 years old, and his son Zhang Man, three people in a room; Li Min, eldest son Zhang Dafeng, and second son Zhang Xiaofeng have one room; Zhang Xian insisted on accompanying her mother in a room, and in order not to let Zhang Xian be alone, Wang Xiaoshan accompanied her; Huang Ziyang and Li Manfan have two uncles and nephews in one room, and two security guards in one room; In the end, Luo Feng and Li Chengjian had a room.
