Chapter 218: The Scapegoat [Speculation on the Murderer]
He didn't just die. Su Jiu'er said.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused doubts.
"If he hadn't just died, how would he still bleed?" Someone in the crowd asked.
Su Jiu'er rolled up her sleeves and prepared to lift the clothes worn by the deceased.
"Wait." Ouyang Keyu stopped, took out a white handkerchief from his arms and put it in Su Jiu'er's hand, and continued: "Use this, don't get your hands dirty. ”
Su Jiu'er nodded with a smile and used a handkerchief as a quarantine to pull the deceased's clothes apart.
The fatal wound was a sword wound, the blood on the wound had congealed, and there was some bruising around the wound.
Su Jiu'er pressed around the wound and frowned, already speculating on the time of the deceased's death.
"It has been no more than four hours since he was last seen, and judging by his physical characteristics, he has been dead for at least three hours."
"That means he was killed as soon as he left." Ouyang Keyu said.
Whispers began in the surrounding crowd again.
"Stop arguing, listen to Jiu'er!" Xia Xun said coldly, and the voices around him disappeared instantly.
After Xia Xun glanced around, his eyes fell on Su Jiu'er and asked, "Is there a way to find out who the murderer is?" ”
Su Jiu'er shook her head and said: "The murderer is very smart, and the weapon he uses is common, even if he can use the elimination method, I don't think the murderer is stupid enough to keep the murder weapon, it should have been disposed of." ”
"Who weren't in the cafeteria today?" Xia Xun asked loudly.
Su Jiu'er stood up and threw down the handkerchief just to land on the deceased's face.
"The murderer has taken everything into account, everyone may be the murderer at the time of the crime, as for who hung him here, I think, even if we find a result, the other party will find a reason for alibi." After Su Jiu'er finished speaking, she looked at Xia and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Xia Xun was stunned for a moment, and then said with an unnatural smile: "How can I understand these things in my brain." ”
"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, it's all a cycle of cause and effect, Xia Xun, you couldn't handle this matter better, I'll go first." Su Jiu'er said, turning around and leaving.
Ouyang Keyu caught up with Su Jiu'er and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Did you find something? ”
"The weather is very cold, so the state of the corpse will be abnormal, minus the time that shouldn't be extra, the time when this person really lost his breath was within half an hour before Xia Xun came to the cafeteria." Su Jiu'er said.
Behind her was Xia Xun's gaze.
"But Wen Jing has always been by his side." Ouyang Keyu was a little puzzled, if it was really Xia Xun's hand, how could he have a chance to start.
"If a man is determined to do something, he will overcome all difficulties." Su Jiu'er sighed, "I really hope it's not him." ”
At night, the heavy rain was still falling, and Su Jiu'er, who was taking a nap, was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Miss Su, the murderer has been caught!" There was the voice of a servant outside the door.
Su Jiu'er's drowsiness woke up instantly, and after tidying up her clothes, she got up and went to open the door.
The moment the door was opened, a cold wind poured into the neckline, Su Jiu'er tightened the neckline, shrunk her neck and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"You'll find out when you go." The little guy said.
At this time, Ouyang Keyu also walked over from a distance.
"Jiu'er, I'm here to pick you up."
Su Jiu'er looked at the bowl in Ouyang Keyu's arms, and said in her heart: "What delicious food did you serve again?" ”
Ouyang Keyu walked next to Su Jiu'er, and when he saw her eyes staring at the white porcelain bowl, he said with a smile: "I was just about to go and serve you something to eat, but I heard them say that the murderer had been caught, so there was nothing in the bowl." ”
Ouyang Keyu handed the bowl to Su Jiu'er to see, and sure enough, there was nothing.
Su Jiu'er was not in the mood to eat at this time, so she called the little servant and asked him to lead the way.
When he walked to the hall, there were already a lot of people gathered, Su Jiu'er looked at the people lying on the ground, and had lost patience with this matter, this method was too inferior, which was the so-called planting blame, because Su Jiu'er had already seen the bloody sword on the table.
Wen Xiang sat on the Taishi chair with a cold face, and when he saw Su Jiu'er coming, he got up and said, "Miss Su, I'm really sorry to let you encounter that kind of thing." ”
Su Jiu'er knew what Wen Xiang was referring to, and responded: "Everyone is dead, and whether it is hatred or resentment will end here." ”
Wen Xiang nodded, "When the people in the Linglong Tower come out, we will go to the big ring." ”
Su Jiu'er glanced at Wen Xiang and asked, "How did he die?" ”
Wen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Didn't you say that it would end here?" Why do you ask again? ”
"Fearing sin and committing suicide, Xia found this sword when he found his room, and he took poison as soon as he saw that he couldn't escape." Wen Xiang's eyes looked angrily at the breathless man on the ground.
Su Jiu'er looked at him and his lips were black, he was indeed poisoned and died As for whether it was as simple as Wen Xiang said, Su Jiu'er reserved his opinion.
Looking around, Su Jiu'er was very curious that Xia Xun was not there.
"Where's Xia Xun?" Su Jiu'er asked.
"He was injured when he caught this thief, Wen Jing was frightened and fainted, and he was accompanying him in Wen Jing's room." Wen Xiang had a sad face, his daughter was too simple.
This blood came and went quickly, and Su Jiu'er also knew the answer given by that person, the situation of friend or foe had been decided, and the other party's spare room was to give Su Jiu'er the most cruel answer.
Seeing the two corpses being carried away, Su Jiu'er turned around and walked towards Lian Jie's wing, and the raindrops falling from the sky hit the oil-paper umbrella with a cold sound.
Lian Jie's door was not closed, Su Jiu'er's small figure was already imprinted in his eyes, he got up and picked up the black cloak that had been beside him for a long time and walked out of the door, just as Su Jiu'er also walked to the door.
"Brother." Su Jiu'er shouted.
Lian Jie draped the cloak in his hand over Su Jiu'er's shoulder, and the cloak fell and dragged it on the ground, white fluff wrapped Su Jiu'er's cold and wet neck.
"What is running around in such a heavy rain? What happened today doesn't make you quiet in your room? Lian Jie asked in the same tone as usual, keeping a distance from Su Jiu'er when he spoke and acted.
"My brother didn't go to the cafeteria today to do something else." Su Jiu'er asked.
While speaking, the two of them had already walked into the room and sat down at the round table, their eyes staring at the raindrops under the lantern candle outside the door one after another, and the puddles splashed countless splashes.
"Guess?"
"I'm guessing you followed Feng Chen, or went to his room." Su Jiu'er said that a large area of water had overflowed under the oil-paper umbrella placed at the door.
Lian Jie shook his head, Su Jiu'er looked at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't it?" ”
"No, I went to He Yuxuan's room, but I met Feng Chen's men halfway." Lian Jie said.
"Subordinates? Did he bring anything out of the ordinary? Su Jiu'er asked.
"What happened today, do you doubt him?"
Su Jiu'er nodded and said, "He has great ambitions, I'm worried that he has found an alliance, and this time this matter is aimed at me." ”
"I also thought about it, it seems that Feng Chen is the most suspicious, we have to be more careful."
