Volume XI

Twenty-one suspects

Sweat continued to drip down the foreheads of everyone present. The morning dawn is still charming. Can. No one wants to appreciate it anymore. Everyone was surrounded by fear and suspicion. There are quite a few people who offer to leave. But because the suspicion is not clear. The two young detectives and Chen Xi asked the butler to ask every guest to stay. And the housekeeper Feng Zhen also gave them a three-day deadline given by Ouyang Yun to solve the case.

The black clouds have been around for a long time. They followed Wan Li and Li Han back to their rooms. Still hovering over them. It makes the atmosphere extremely oppressive. There was silence throughout the room

"Hey. You should say something. It's not like this style to be depressed." Li Han couldn't help but stand up and look at everyone and said. But his brow is tightly locked.

"Bring me the diary of the 'post-90s brain-dead' and I'll take a look at it." Wan Li pointed to the diary on his desk. Motioned for Bi Chengcheng to hand it to himself. Bi Chengcheng still looks like a six gods without a master. No response. Wanli is helpless. I had to stand up and walk over to get a diary and look at it.

Chen Xi always stood outside the window without saying a word. It's like thinking about something. The room fell silent again. Li Han looked at Wan Li. looked at Chen Xi again:

"Don't do this, okay. Just find something to say, no. You guys let the author write down Brother Xi greatly. Say two words."

Chen Xi turned around lightly. looked at Li Han with a serious face. Seems to say something. Li Han immediately straightened his expression and listened carefully. I saw Chen Xi say slowly:

"This case was originally written by the author himself. We don't blame him for making the case too difficult. What else does he have to blame us. What does it matter to us if we can't write down. Other than that. I'm thinking about things, and I always feel that there is something strange in the guests just now that has been overlooked."

"What a strange place (dare to say big bad things about the author. It seems to be a side expression of the author's dissatisfaction with Ao Shuang's great arrangement for him)."

Chen Xi shook his head. Didn't answer. Li Han scratched his hair. I can't think of anything.

"The two brothers Ouyang Gong and Ouyang Hai were not there at that time"

Several people in the room shuddered at the same time. Fierce fear of the palm. He turned his head and looked at the man who spoke in surprise. And that person is Bi Chengcheng, who is still depressed. Chen Xi was secretly surprised. At that time, I was able to observe and notice this in that situation. This teenager. It's really a malleable material

"That's right. The blind man didn't seem to be in the living room at the time." Li Han also suddenly remembered at this time. looked at Chen Xi and Wan Li excitedly.

Chen Xi was stunned. Wave your hand gently. What do you want to say. But Wanli's voice has been heard:

"It won't be him"

"Why. He's your godfather." Li Han looked at him with contempt. Looking at Wan Li. Asked disdainfully.

Why. The three words are also what Wanli himself wants to ask. Inexplicably. He would believe that a stranger who is completely unfamiliar with him is innocent. And. is in the case of such serial homicides. In the case of being a professional detective yourself. He shook his head. I want to take back what I said. But I always feel that what I said is correct. Chen Xi looked at Wan Li's complicated expression. Unconsciously smiled quietly. Then he said solemnly:

"Then let's assume that the middle-aged blind man is suspicious. plus Feng Zhen, the housekeeper who inexplicably claimed to have something to go out last night and was the most convenient to commit the crime. Now there are currently four people in the case who are the last suspects. Ouyang Gong and Ouyang Hai two brothers. FENG Zhen. Middle-aged blind man. That's right. There is also a 'patient' that Feng Zhen said has been 'lying in the room' and never goes out."

As soon as I heard this person. Wan Li and Li Han trembled at the same time. The faces of the two suddenly turned dead white. Chen Xi was taken aback by their reaction. Roughly guessed that they had already 'visited' the patient secretly. And judging from the expressions and reactions of the two of them. That 'meeting' must have been unpleasant

"Bump. Touch. bump". Suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door. Chen Xi opened the door curiously. I saw Feng Zhen standing outside the door with a pale face:

"Young Master Ouyang Gongbiao, he was found dead in the kitchen"

"What."

Twenty-two covert operations

In the kitchen. Ouyang Gong's corpse leaned against the wall in the corner of the kitchen with his eyes closed. He pointed to a mural hanging on the opposite wall. And the entire kitchen wall is almost covered with the blood handprints of the deceased where the deceased can reach them. And there were as many as six or seven wounds on the deceased's body. But the strange thing is. The deceased's expression seemed serene

". Again. Bastard author big you still want us to live." Li Han suddenly shouted. Kicked the stove next to him. You can jump up with your feet in your hands right away. Carrying himself to kick his swollen feet and jumping around.

Wan Li and Chen Xi sweated at the same time. Buried in the head and glancing at each other:

"Scolding the author is a big end"

"Ahh Suddenly there was a scream from behind. Everyone looks back. Phil was stupid in place. Lips trembled. Tears slowly slipped out of this family where interests are paramount. Those who can shed tears for their loved ones. It is estimated that there is only Phil, I don't know why. The guests present suddenly felt a faint sadness. Ouyang Gong's corpse and Fei'er's tears seemed to make them start thinking about some questions that they hadn't thought about before. It also gradually awakens the humanity in the deepest part of their inner soul. The corpse that fell to the ground was itself. Will there be a loved one who will shed tears for himself

"I take back what I said before," Chen Xi said suddenly. He glanced around at the guests. Want to leave. Please leave quickly. I don't want another fatality."

In an instant. Everyone was silent. Wan Li and Li Han's surprise cannot be expressed in words. Bi Chengcheng was also stunned. He knows. If it were a detective who said this in such a situation. So. It means that he has set a white flag to the murderer, and it's okay. Chen Xi is not a detective

Can. None of the guests left. Everyone was silent with different expressions. Then. I don't know who it is. Suddenly said a shocking sentence:

"We want to stay and see our dead relatives get justice."

The whole kitchen was shocked. Including housekeeper Feng Zhen. He couldn't believe that anyone in the family would say this. And. What made him even more incredible was that he could see from the eyes of the other guests that they were thinking the same thing as that person

Time passes imperceptibly. Wan Li. LI Han. CHEN Xi. Bi Chengcheng. The men were working hard in the kitchen. A day has passed since I carefully collected every subtle clue. The night came silently. Give the breath of the night to these tired detectives

"What's wrong with this mural. We've seen it all before. I didn't see a problem at all." Li Han complained while holding the mural. The mural is an ordinary landscape painting: under the blue sky and white clouds. The blue savannah is connected with the river. It's refreshing.

Wanli sighed. also came over and stretched out his hand to hold the painting with Li Han:

"It's a bit strange to have a mural in the kitchen. Plus the deceased is also 'highly recommended'.

Bi Chengcheng came over. Tilting his head and thinking for a moment. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, I ran excitedly to the wall where the mural was originally hung and knocked on it. In his mouth, he reads:

"There must be a mechanism here."

Li Han lowered his eyelids. Glancing at him:

"We've already checked the walls there. No fart. It's up to you. Wonder what you've done this day."

Bi Chengcheng seems to have been hit again. The spirit of the slight improvement is depressed again. Wan Li looked at him. It's as if I saw myself back then. I laughed softly. And Chen Xi seemed to ignore the painting. Staring at the bloody handprints on the wall with a serious face. Suddenly. His eyes lit up. Then I looked left and right again. He continued to observe

Unconsciously. It's late at night. Wan Li and Li Han also returned to their rooms. Wait until the others are asleep. Chen Xi quietly came to the door of a room. As soon as the door opened. was startled by the person who appeared in the room:

"LIU Min. Why are you here?"

Liu Min looked at him with a grin. There was no answer. Instead, someone replied from a dark corner:

"I'm sorry. Today, when I quietly went to investigate the mysterious patient, I encountered some problems. Fortunately, he was saved by Liu Min, maybe the makeup at that time was washed off by sweat. So"

"Hee-hee. I can't imagine that Tang Peng is willing to self-destruct your image to that point. I almost didn't recognize you." Liu Min squinted his eyes and smiled at Tang Peng. Reunion of old friends. Naturally, her mood improved." That's right. Why didn't you see Chang Jingmei?"

"She's going back to the village first"

"Huh. Look at your embarrassed expression. Could it be that you're here to hide from her this time?"

"This"

"Hee-hee. I guessed it right. Ah. The days of the little couple. Eun is so happy. Sweet. You smile sweetly."

"If you meet her. Please help me keep it a secret."

"Rest assured. Won't betray you. That's right. You've been married for five years, and you still don't have children."

“”

"Ahem." Chen Xi sweated for a moment. Look at them with contempt." I'm sorry to disturb the two of you, but it doesn't matter if we're down to business now."

Tang Peng nodded. Shrugged. A helpless expression:

"Yes."

Liu Min was still smiling. I just didn't ask Tang Peng again. Chen Xi shook his head and sighed. Turned around and asked Tang Peng:

"The patient you're talking about is the patient in the westernmost room on the second floor. What the hell is going on?"

"You said that Zhao Zefeng, who knows how to master internal strength." Liu Min took the call. Said with a puzzled expression. After inadvertently saving Wan Li and Li Han when I was distracted at night last time, I became suspicious of that person. So I deliberately kept an eye on him. I didn't expect to save Tang Peng again this time. It was really dangerous."

Tang Peng suddenly lowered his head. The expression became extremely serious:

"At the time"

"But then again. Liu Min, weren't you very gentle and virtuous before? Not seen for five years. When did you become so hippie and smiling?"

"Hee-hee. Personality can change. Besides, of course, you have to be gentle in front of your senior brother before. That's right. How have you been in the past five years. Sister Ao Shuang is still the same."

"Suddenly felt dizzy. I'll find a place to sit down first."

"Ahem." Tang Peng coughed twice deliberately. Somewhat speechless for them." I'm sorry to disturb you guys. But are we not going to get down to business?"

"Oh. Yes, yes." Chen Xi nodded hurriedly. Then I found a stool and sat down." You continue. I'm listening. Wait until you're done. I also have information to tell you about that death in the kitchen this morning."

"Yes." Tang Peng nodded. I told Chen Xi about my experience. Then Chen Xi also told Tang Peng about his discovery

"So to speak. The 'patient' on the second floor is not good," Chen Xi thought as he pressed his forehead with his hand. I didn't feel my heart sink." From what you said, you can roughly deduce the character of that person: a person who does things completely recklessly, and who goes so straightforward, will not be too deep in any conspiracy. Estimate the words correctly. He's just a pair of hands. There's a brain behind him that directs him. Whereas. That being the case. Although he has something to do with these murders, he certainly won't be the murderer, assuming I'm the brains behind him. So. How would I take advantage of him. Wait a minute. You said that Phil had come to you before before her whereabouts were not revealed. Could it be?"

"Yes. That's how it should be." Tang Peng slowly raised his head. His expression became unusually serious." That brain. It's for me."

Chen Xi was silent. I don't know how long it took. He asked softly:

"Then our actions tonight. Do you want to cancel."

Tang Peng shook his head. Close your eyelids and smile faintly:

"In this way. I was even more determined to go. Feel relieved. There is Liu Min, a martial arts master. Even if I can't see.' And you're not capable of protecting yourself.'

"Why did the author put an emphasis on the sentence that I have no ability to protect myself"
