Volume XI
Twenty-one to solve the doubt
The night came quietly, everyone in the cave was silent, the air seemed to be frozen by the night, and outside the cave, there seemed to be a pair of blood-red eyes flickering slightly in the dark air, staring at people all over the body......
"Ahh That pervert who loves to gouge out his eyes, you come out for me! Lao Tzu wants to fight you alone! Li Han's pent-up anger finally broke out, he jumped up and pointed outside the cave and scolded, a series of strange things that happened recently made him convinced of the legend of Elrank's eye-gouging, those fears of it turned into anger with the disappearance of the fruit and the destruction of the hope of escape, Li Han scolded more and more happy, especially when he found that there was no reaction outside the cave, his attitude gradually changed to arrogance, "Don't hide if you have the ability!" Come out and go head-to-head with me! Scared, isn't it? Then kneel down and snort a few times for the young master......"
Suddenly, there was a terrifying whistling sound outside the cave, which was terrifying, and Li Han immediately knelt down on the ground, apologizing again and again:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm young and impulsive, I'm young and ignorant, please forgive me for the sake of the Law on the Protection of Minors......"
The other people in the cave were completely speechless to him, they were in no mood to pay attention to him, they were all thinking about their own things, and Tang Peng among them was even more serious, and his thoughts were flying in his deep eyes, Tao Ran next to him looked at him quietly, and seemed to understand what Tang Peng was thinking, after a long time, Tang Peng spat out helplessly, indicating that the result of thinking was still not much progress, Tao Ran opened his mouth at this time and said:
"People's minds are often unusually chaotic when they are in a difficult situation, which is ultimately due to psychological reasons, your current psychology is actually very fragile and confused, on the one hand, you can't help but want to solve the mystery of what happened in the last few days, and on the other hand, you are afraid to solve it...... After unlocking, you have no excuse not to let yourself think, and you can't face the helplessness of 'no shadow'. ”
“......”
"Actually, I think you should learn from Cheng Shuai's optimism (although some idiots), we psychologists don't encourage patients to force themselves to face something that scares them, but I think you should be brave enough to face it now...... After all, you're a detective. ”
Tang Peng raised his head suddenly, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Maybe, you're right."
Tao Ran also laughed and nodded at him, at this time, the atmosphere in the cave seemed to be much more relaxed, and even Wu Wenfei, who had been "saving energy", woke up incredibly during non-dinner time:
"Ahh For some reason, I slept so comfortably this night—huh? The rain has stopped, and I thought it would rain a few more days! ”
"What? Rain? Tang Peng's eyes lit up violently, and he turned his head to stare at Wu Wenfei, "You said it rained yesterday?" ”
Regarding Tang Peng's fierce reaction, Wu Wenfei seemed to be too lazy to care, stretched his waist to himself, and replied lazily:
"Yes! Yesterday at noon I was hungry, and when I woke up, I saw that it was raining heavily, and you were ......"
"You're still sleeping, aren't you?" Tang Peng grabbed the words and asked calmly.
"Yes, I'm not saying that you, every inch of time is an inch of gold, and you don't go looking for food and find a way to get out of here at noon, and you still sleep in a leisurely and leisurely group—ah—ow! I'm so disappointed with you! ”
"You're not qualified to say that!" Everyone in the cave shouted at Wu Wenfei almost at the same time.
In the face of public anger, Wu Wenfei just lazily gouged his ears and pretended not to hear it, but Tang Peng's face became more serious, and he asked slowly for a long time:
"Did you wake up yesterday at noon with two missing people in the cave?"
"I didn't pay attention, and I knew that I couldn't find the person in charge of the food at that time, so I had to continue to 'save energy' hungry."
Tang Peng's brows were relieved suddenly, but his expression gradually became complicated, Tao Ran had already thought of what was going on, and only shook his head lightly on the side, and the rest of the people were very puzzled by Tang Peng's expression and a series of questions, they all looked at him patiently, waiting for an explanation, and after a while, they heard Tang Peng say slowly in a heavy tone:
"Everything has been unraveled, the true face of the murderer has been revealed......"
"Cut, it's been revealed a long time ago, isn't he the perverted Ellank (some legends can't help but you don't believe it)? Can you say something nutritious? "Li Han is already convinced of the legend of the 'Ellank Eye.
"People always think that what they see is the truth, but they don't know what truth is hidden behind this so-called fact." Tang Peng sighed softly and continued, "The three death cases this time have one thing in common, but there is one difference - the common point is that their deaths were all gouged out of their eyes, and they all seem to be related to the legend of Ellanke's eye-catching, but the difference is that the murderer who killed them is not the same person. ”
Twenty-two brutal truths
"What the hell is going on?" Except for Zhang Lu and Tao Ran, the people present became more and more confused and curious, and they all waited quietly for Tang Peng's explanation.
Tang Peng lifted his glasses, slowly sat on the ground and sorted out his thoughts, and then said:
"Let's start with the eyeless corpse of the middle-aged man (Volume 2) found at the beginning, in fact, I suspected from the beginning that he was the person Sui Liang said was recuperating in their treehouse, Huang Qiang saw the nautical chart in his arms (although it was fake) and strangled him to death, in order to fear that Sui Liang would find the nautical chart, he used the eyeballs of the corpse to gouge out the eyeballs of the corpse and throw it into the river for fear that Sui Liang would find the nautical chart......
"Wait, but don't you already know that the middle-aged man Sui Liang said is Uncle Tao Ran?" Li Han interrupted.
Tao Ran next to him heard that he was called a middle-aged man (plus an uncle), and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, Tang Peng smiled:
"Tao Ran's appearance actually didn't even think of Sui Liang and Huang Qiang, it was just an accident - I went to the tree house to see, there are three beds in it, one of which was made in a hurry, and it is one size bigger than the other two, that is to say, the owner of this bed is very tall, but Sui Liang, Huang Qiang and Tao Ran's stature can only be regarded as medium, the tall figure of the middle-aged man and the big bed in the tree house can already prove my previous speculation - Sui Liang immediately thought of who the murderer was when he saw the man's body, but out of friendship, I had to help Huang Qiang hide it, but what I didn't expect was that I would kill Huang Qiang by mistake because of that half of the nautical chart (Volume 6), alas! The next thing is the murderer who killed Sui Liang...... His purpose was also a nautical chart, but not for the treasure, but to keep us from escaping...... It turned out that the lyric list on my body that was rumored to be the other half of the nautical chart had been hit by someone in the middle of the night, I thought it was Sui Liang, but now I know that it was not him, and there was someone else who wanted to steal the lyrics - on the night when Sui Liang was going to make a deal with me (Volume 7), I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't think of anything, until now I thought that it was someone who had changed their position when they were sleeping, and the person closest to my position when I fell asleep for the first time was Chang Jing, But when I fell asleep for the second time after talking to Sui Liang, there was a different person who was closest to my position, and he just wanted to prevent us from escaping from here and the murderer of Sui Liang, Guozi......"
"What?" Chang Jing and Liu Min shouted at the same time, they couldn't believe Tang Peng's words, and the two of them argued eagerly for the fruit, "It's absolutely impossible, I don't believe it!" ”
Li Han also felt a little unacceptable, tried to refute it, suddenly thought of something, and said excitedly:
"That's right! It can't be a fruit, you don't have to believe him too much, this stupid guy has some brain failure because of Cheng Shuai's death, and he always likes to talk nonsense, he said that Sui Liang died at three to four o'clock last night, but I suddenly remembered that I had seen Sui Liang when I had breakfast this morning, and that guy was urinating outside! You were still sleeping at the time, so you didn't see him, so I ask you, how could he hang up at three or four o'clock last night? ”
"You're wrong, it wasn't last night, it was the night before." Looking at the surprised expressions of the two girls and the rest of the people, Tang Peng sighed, "Actually, Tao Ran has already told me that he didn't die in the morning, Sui Liang died at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and Tao Ran saw him at about half past eight in the morning, with less than six hours in between, but according to the signs of the corpse, it can be speculated that his death has indeed been more than twelve hours - originally I was stuck here, unless the murderer will steal time, it is impossible to kill people in the six hours that disappeared...... But all the doubts were solved when Wu Wenfei said that it rained heavily yesterday just now - do you remember that it rained yesterday? There was no rain, but when I came out of the cave at noon, I could clearly see a lot of puddles on the ground, which indicated that there had indeed been a rain not long ago...... I suddenly thought of the fact that Guozi had not allowed Li Han to drink the soup before and then forced him to drink it, which made me very strange, and now I realized that Li Han might have drunk the poison that Guozi had prepared for Sui Liang, and what he was forced to drink afterwards was the antidote...... The rest is clear...... The fruit put some kind of sleeping pill in the food that we prepared the morning before yesterday, and we got a good night's sleep......"
Everyone was silent, no one was willing to speak, Liu Min remembered something, took out a letter-like paper from his arms and looked quietly, his expression became more and more complicated, and Chang Jing next to him still didn't believe it, and couldn't help crying and retorted to Tang Peng:
"But, but, there's no reason for Sister Fruit to do this, there's no reason to ......"
"No, she does." Liu Min interrupted Chang Jing's words, pinched the piece of paper she was looking at, and said to her, "I don't know when this letter was left in my arms, I only found out not long ago, and I was not in the mood to care about it because I was worried about the disappearance of the fruit...... Now we know that this is what the fruit wrote to us:
Dear friends,
I wish I could still call you that, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Actually, I'm the poison maker in 'No Shadow'...... The mission this time is to trap Tang Peng and you on the island...... I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you...... It's really not, my brothers want me to come to you to observe, but ...... But I never thought that you would be so good to me, I'm really sorry, I don't know what to say, when I think I lied to you...... I couldn't help but fall tears...... Do you believe it? I'm writing this letter to you in tears...... If I could, I would have liked to stay with you, but my eldest brother wanted me to leave...... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... I've sailed away, and I've prepared enough food for you...... I'm really sorry......
Sister Chang Jing, you are a good girl, but you have to grow up quickly, don't let yourself be so innocent all the time, I wish you and Tang Peng happiness...... Tang Peng, you are the calmest detective I have ever met, in fact, I hope you can escape from here to stop your brothers, come on...... And Li Han, you kid is always in love, you don't learn well, and you prefer to learn Cheng Shuai's idiot...... Sister Liu Min, about Cheng Shuai's death...... I really, really...... That idiot detective...... I....... Sorry ......"
The silence passed quietly all night, and the long silence in the cave could not be broken until the sun was rising, and as the red sun slowly emerged at the sea level, Chen Weiwei's rescue boat also arrived......
"Alas! How could it be a fruit......" Chen Weiwei let out a long sigh after listening to Tang Peng's story.
Tang Peng also shook his head lightly, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago: I have always had a sense of déjà vu in the sound of the fruit, and Sui Binxi prepared a room for Liu Min and the fruit he didn't know when he was on the 'Elrank'...... (Also, I can't figure out one more thing: Sui Liang should have been poisoned, but why was his throat choked?) The fruit should not have so much strength, and through this period of time together, I am absolutely sure that she is a good-natured girl, and she will definitely not be so cruel to gouge people's eyes...... The side of Sui Liang's corpse seems to have been cleaned, could it be that some truth has been concealed)"
"What I'm most worried about now is whether Cheng Shuai, who is recuperating leisurely in Tianhua Hospital at the moment (although it is very likely to be pretended), can bear this matter......"
"What?! Cheng Shuai is still alive?! The crowd shouted almost at the same time.
......
(Tianhua Hospital)
"Miss Nurse, do you believe in the encounter of fate?" A sloppy young patient chased after a beautiful nurse, with an exaggerated smile on his face, "I'll tell you a secret, in fact, I am a detective specially invited by the police to solve the case, I am not simply hospitalized this time, but I do not hesitate to sacrifice my nickname of 'healthy and tough guy' in order to save the city, how about it?" Do you have some admiration for me? Alas! Don't go! Miss Nurse......"
