Chapter 723: The Murderer Hiding Nearby
"Da Da Da ......"
In the study, Xu Rui looked at the candlelight in a daze, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, making a crisp sound, and there was a note brought out of the secret room in his hand, and there was only one unfinished word on the note.
With a "squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and Li Kuang slowly walked in.
"How's it going?"
Xu Rui came back to his senses, looked at Li Kuang and asked.
Li Kuang shook his head, took the tea on the table and drank it down, and said helplessly: "Indeed, as you expected, the entire Diting Organization was wiped out, except for the strongholds in Babao City, the people from the other two strongholds were also missing.
The strange thing is that all the finances and furnishings on the site have not been touched, and there is even freshly boiled water, as well as the quilt with residual warmth, as if all those people have evaporated from the world. ”
Xu Rui sneered when he heard this: "You are still one step late, the dark chess has already taken the lead, their goal is very clear, just to extinguish the mouth, listening to your description of the scene is very consistent with the urine of the dark chess that does not leave any traces."
This also confirms our previous judgment, Dark Chess did not intend to start with Diting at the beginning, until I found out that I was about to make a major breakthrough, and decided to completely eradicate the Diting organization. ”
"Then we're really scared this time."
Li Kuang said in disappointment.
Xu Rui shook his head: "It's not about startling the snake, we always thought that Dark Chess didn't know that we were investigating them, but now it seems that maybe our every move is under the control of Dark Chess." ”
Li Kuang's breath was suffocated when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and he changed the topic curtly: "I heard that the supernatural powers are vast, and I claim to know everything, but I didn't expect that the deity would be a dwarf. ”
Xu Rui shook his head again, and said with a smile: "Wrong again, Diting is actually a brand, if you have to say who it is, I'm afraid it's the entire intelligence network, that dwarf is just a small character responsible for speaking out." ”
Li Kuang pursed his lips and was about to say something, when the door of the study was pushed open again, and Mr. Changpo walked in with a gloomy face, and Li Kuang immediately closed his mouth.
"How's the Shadow Maiden doing?"
Seeing Mr. Changpo, Xu Rui hurriedly got up and handed over a cup of tea and asked with concern.
"I lost too much blood, but fortunately she has a good foundation, and she will recuperate for a few days, and there will be no sequelae."
Mr. Changpo took the teacup and took a sip, and said: "The blood sample you gave me was also analyzed, and it did contain toxins, which was a spider born in the south, named Qianli Hong, only the size of a fingernail, but a drop of venom can poison a cow." ”
The blood sample that Mr. Changpo said was the poisonous blood that Xu Rui collected from the dwarf's mouth, and for the sake of insurance, Xu Rui still handed it over to Mr. Changpo for testing.
Hearing the test results, Xu Rui originally thought that everything was really as he expected, but Mr. Changpo's next sentence shocked him and gave him goosebumps.
"I would like to remind you that the venom of Thousand Miles Red is chronic, and poisoned animals do not die immediately, and in terms of this dose in the blood, it will take at least half an hour to poison a person."
"What did you say?!"
Xu Rui's face changed instantly.
"What's wrong?"
Li Kuang looked at Xu Rui a little inexplicably.
Xu Rui was silent for a moment, and seemed to have stabilized his emotions before he said with a gloomy face: "Think about it, from the time I heard the screams to the time I found the body of the dwarf, it was only one or two pillars of incense, if it takes half an hour to poison a person, then ......"
Hearing this, Li Kuang also trembled, and said with a shudder: "Then the dwarf must have been poisoned a long time ago, and it was the one who pretended to be listening to you in the secret room at that time...... It's ......"
"It's the murderer himself!"
Xu Rui said solemnly.
Although he had already guessed it, but when Xu Rui said something to the sky, Li Kuang's heart was still a little hairy.
"In other words, the murderer already knew that you would go to Di Ting, so he prepared in advance and played a play for you, if it wasn't for your caution and taking the blood sample back for study, then we would continue to investigate along the false clues."
Xu Rui nodded: "A more tricky problem has arisen, this is a trap, and we don't know when we walked into the trap, let alone know which clues in our hands are true and which ones they want us to see." ”
When Li Kuang heard this, he immediately looked at the note that was still lying on Xu Rui's desk.
Xu Rui slowly walked to the table, gently picked up the note and looked at it, the note was still only half written on the word.
"At first, I wondered why the murderer had processed all the evidence and left only this most important clue, although it was only half a word, but this half word was very likely to become the most important breakthrough.
Now it seems that the demise of the Diting Group, and those who have been exterminated, all the links revolve around this note.
The reason why the murderer used the chronic poison was to make me think that the dwarf had just died, so that he could create that he had no time to deal with all the clues in the wilderness, and it was only natural that I should get this note.
When I crack the secret on this note, I will firmly believe in the truth of this clue, and step into the trap they have already woken! ”
"In this way, is the death of Stone and Hu Miao also a bait to lure you into the bait?"
Li Kuang asked incredulously.
Xu Rui didn't speak, but looked at the note in his hand motionlessly.
Li Kuang frowned: "What clues will there be on this note?" ”
He asked, while taking the note from Xu Rui's hand, looking at it carefully: "Horizontal fold hook, is it the word 'B'?" Or the word 'fly'? ”
Xu Rui was stunned when he heard this, and immediately snatched the note from Li Kuang's hand and looked at it carefully.
Seeing that Xu Rui seemed to fall into deep thought in an instant, Li Kuang and Mr. Changpo glanced at each other and didn't dare to disturb.
Suddenly, Xu Rui's face changed suddenly, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"I see, I see!"
Xu Rui's eyes froze, and he gritted his teeth and said excitedly.
"What do you understand?"
Li Kuang asked confusedly.
Xu Rui didn't answer, but said excitedly: "Where do you want to leave, where do you want to leave?" ”
Li Kuang frowned and said, "Didn't you say that he hid and retreated?" ”
"Oh yes!"
Xu Rui patted his head and said: "I'm too excited, I forgot his good deeds, no, I have to go to him as soon as possible, there is something that only he can confirm!" ”
"Huh?"
Li Kuang and Mr. Changpo looked at each other, it was a critical period to be away from now, where would Xu Rui go to find a quasi-martial saint who was hiding?
What's more, in the impression of the two, they are just a martial artist, and I don't know what important clues must be confirmed by him?
Without waiting for the two to figure it out, An Ge suddenly rushed into the study in a hurry.
"Young master, good news, good news, His Royal Highness King Su has just returned to Beijing, and he sent someone to send a post, saying that he is asking you to come to Wentian Pavilion for a small gathering."
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed: "King Su is back?" Okay, okay, it's really a double happiness today! ”
The return of King Su and the meeting of the old people are naturally a happy event, but where does the other joy come from?
Li Kuang really couldn't figure it out, so he had the intention of grabbing Xu Rui and beating him violently, and then forcing him to tell the truth.
