Chapter 221: What is the motive?

Perhaps Zhao Tongyi and the others didn't expect that this long night would pass so quietly.

In Yan Yu's opinion, this is not surprising, because the murderer said that he would kill one person every day, Lao Qian was dead, and today's task was completed.

Even if you want to kill someone, you have to wait until after dawn, and the next time you kill someone, it should be the same night, because the eight gates are all sealed, Dunhuang Mountain is like an iron bucket, and the difficulty of killing people during the day can be imagined.

The uncles also came back one after another, and they didn't even have time to take off their hats, so they hurriedly said to Zhao Tong: "Senior brother, someone has come in!" ”

"Someone coming in? How is this possible, isn't it eight doors sealed! Zhao Tongyi was also a little surprised, after all, Dunhuang Mountain can be said to be their life's work, and it was carefully prepared by the ancestors.

"Yes, and ...... And it's two people! ”

"Two people?" Yan Yu never expected that at this juncture, there would be people coming in, and there were only two!

Because in his opinion, the murderer's helpers, whether Meng Hongming or Dean Qi, could not appear at this time, which means that the murderer is alone.

Who would have thought that two people would come in at once!

Zhao Tongyi and Zhao Tongxuan also became nervous: "Which door did you come in?" ”

"It's also very strange, one enters through the door of life, and the other enters through the door of death......"

"The door of life and the door of death?" Zhao Tongyi frowned, and asked Yan Yu, "What do you think?" ”

Yan Yu pondered for a moment, and then said: "It shouldn't be an accomplice, at least one is not an accomplice, if both are helpers, they will inevitably enter through the same door, so why bother with it......"

Zhao Tongyi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Who do you think it will be?" ”

Yan Yu took a long time: "Those who can come in from Shengmen must have an extremely thorough understanding of Bamen, Dunhuang Mountain, and even Longfu Mountain......

Zhao Tongyi and others also breathed a sigh of relief, because they agreed with Yan Yu's speculation, the reason why they came in from Shengmen showed that they were peers, and they were unwilling to destroy the pattern of Dunhuang Mountain, and they came in from Shengmen, which was actually an expression of goodwill.

"Where's the one at Death's Gate?"

Yan Yu is also very cautious: "The door of death is troublesome......"

"It can't be a mediocre hand to break through the door of death, and there are so many doors, Du Men, Jingmen, injured doors, etc., he can choose a safer and more secure one, but he chose the door of death......"

The expressions of the people who had just relaxed became solemn again.

"In other words, we and the murderer each have a helper?"

Yan Yu shook his head lightly: "These are just speculations, the murderer is cunning and treacherous, it is hard to guarantee that it is not him who is ......suspicious."

"What now?" Everyone listened to Yan Yu's words, and they were also a little at a loss, Zhao Tongyi looked at Yan Yu, and then said to Zhao Tongxuan: "You and the two junior brothers stay to protect the three of them, let's go out and find it." ”

"Looking for whom? Where to find it? Zhao Tongxuan was also a little worried.

Without waiting for Zhao Tongyi to answer, Yan Yu took the initiative to say: "I'll go with Uncle Shi, let's go to the vicinity of Shengmen first, since I have expressed goodwill, I should show up......"

Zhao Tongxuan shook his head and questioned: "If he is here to help us, why don't you come to the door directly?" ”

Yan Yu frowned, and was about to speak, but Zhao Tongyi said what he thought in his heart: "I'm afraid that he doesn't want to come, but he can't!" ”

Yan Yu agreed: "We have to hurry up......"

Zhao Tongxuan also realized that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say more, and ordered two people to stay with him to protect Hong Dafu and Meng Jiefang, while the rest followed behind Zhao Tongyi and walked out of the house.

The clothes are worn on the body, and there is a smell of dried straw, but there are always small insects crawling behind it, but it is good to shelter from the wind and rain.

Yan Yu didn't know the layout of the Eight Gates, so he could only follow behind Zhao Tongyi and the others.

The gravel road in the village is not too long, and it is a dirt road in front of it, because of the heavy rain for several days, it has long been muddy, Zhao Tongyi and others have even changed their cloth shoes, and the straw shoes they wear at this time are not afraid of slipping.

Yan Yu was originally wearing liberation shoes, but he still changed into straw sandals before leaving, otherwise he really couldn't keep up with this group of old guys.

After walking for about ten minutes, there was really a tulou in front of him, Yan Yu thought that the eight gates were just imaginary fingers, who knew that there really was such a gatehouse!

Although this gatehouse is a soil building, it has gone through vicissitudes, just like the ancient gate gate, but this gate has no door.

Strange to say, there was stagnant water and mud outside, but inside the doorway it was dry!

This gatehouse is like a monument that has been abandoned for thousands of years, and through this gate, you can go back to ancient times.

Yan Yu followed and walked in, only to find that the walls of the door were painted with various runes, all of which were made of sand and stone pigments, although they had been washed away by the years, they still had not faded.

The runes were smeared with some blood, still fresh, and although they looked like they were being swayed at random, they had an indescribable sense of subtlety.

Zhao Tongyi looked forward, his face was a little pale, and then he burst into tears!

"Let's go! Come with me! ”

Yan Yu saw his expression in his eyes, and he was also surprised in his heart, and he felt a wave of excitement for no reason, but he didn't know why, he just followed Zhao Tonggong and walked forward quickly.

Halfway back, Zhao Tongyi pinched his fingers, turned another corner, and walked towards the back mountain.

Just as Yan Yu, Hong Dafu and others explored earlier, the back mountains are all torrents pouring down, and there are not many roads to walk.

Rao is like this, Zhao Tongyi still led everyone and shuttled through the rainforest, and it didn't take long for a cave to appear in front of him!

The entrance of this cave is very dry, there is a sultry breath gushing out of it, and there are two dragon and tiger beasts piled up on both sides of the cave entrance, and there are flags hanging on the beasts, and the yellow talismans pasted have been washed away by the heavy rain, and only a few traces of red are left.

Zhao Tongyi stepped forward and touched the town beast, and his face changed greatly: "Enter!" ”

With that, he took off the Dao sword he was carrying.

Leaving the scabbard outside the entrance of the cave, the other uncles also took out the magic weapons one after another, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy.

Yan Yu was also a little at a loss, after all, he didn't bring anything, and he only had a flashlight on his body, which he didn't put down last night and walked in a hurry.

The light in the cave is okay, it's not too dim, and it doesn't need a flashlight, but I don't know where the light comes from.

When they had gone inside, they saw a man lying on the ground, covered in blood, and hurried to the side.

"Qin Zhong!"

Yan Yu recognized the person lying on the ground, and his heart was also turbulent!

Because the eight gates of Dunhuang Mountain have been sealed, Qin Zhong is either a murderer, an accomplice, or the one who came in from the Shengmen!

Qin Zhong was born in Laohebao, and when Yan Yu investigated his father earlier, he had already investigated Qin Zhong, and he had nothing to do with Longfu Mountain, so he should not be a person who came in from Shengmen.

In other words, Qin Zhong is either a murderer or an accomplice!

Memories washed over Yan Yu's thoughts like a heavy rain outside, and everything flashed by like a movie screen.

If Qin Zhong is the murderer, the one who has been hiding behind him, then everything seems to have already been explained!

At the beginning of the Orion Hut, the attacker of Yan Yu Guan Rui and Qin Zhong has not been found, Yan Yu has not suspected Qin Zhong at all, and Qin Zhong still testified against Yan Yu even though he knew that Yan Yu would not be a suspect, not to frame him, but to divert the focus of suspicion from him!

Since the disappearance of the big and small pairs, Yan Yu has always been suspicious of Qin Dayou, but he never thought that Qin Zhong was also a participant in the whole process!

Because Qin Dayou attracted all the suspicions, Qin Zhong was never included in the list of suspects!

All of this flashed like a meteor, overlapping and overlapping with each other, confirming each other, Yan Yu's heart was surging, and he couldn't suppress it at all!

Qin Zhong, who was dying, opened his eyes, and Yan Yu hurriedly helped him up.

"Who is it?"

Qin Zhong smiled, his white teeth were soaked in a mouth full of blood, he didn't have the slightest anger, he was still as honest as ever, and there was no trace of characteristics that were in line with Yan Yu's psychological profile!

"Thank you...... Thank you...... Thank you for your fulfillment, I am really...... It's really rare to be ...... Lin Xiaoyu."

Qin Zhong seemed to be saying that a person was dying, and Yan Yu even suspected for a moment that his idea just now was wrong, until ...... Until Qin Zhong said the next sentence.

"I'm sorry...... The rest, I ...... I can't kill ......."

"Why did you kill them?" This should be the question that Yan Yu wants to know the most, the motive of human and physical evidence, these three necessary elements, what Yan Yu wants to know most is only the motive, because the others can be investigated, but if Qin Zhong is dead, it will be difficult to understand the real motive.

Qin Zhong's breathing was already very embarrassed, and he opened his mouth several times, but finally just spit out a few words.

"I ...... I just want to...... Just trying to hold on...... Village ......"

"Hold the village?" Yan Yu subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhao Tongyi and the others.

They are all Qin Zhong's targets, Qin Zhong's motive for killing is to protect the village, does it in turn prove their existence, and it is very likely to destroy the village?

Even if Zhao Tongyi and the others would do this, Yan Yu would never do it!

Or rather, Yan Yu has been investigating his father's affairs, if his father was really killed by the people of Laohe Fort, would he destroy the village to take revenge?

Maybe he wouldn't be innocent and wouldn't do it, but if Qin Zhong thought he would definitely do it, then it wouldn't be surprising that Yan Yu was on his list of targets.

Of course, it is not excluded that this mysterious village has other hidden secrets!

All of this, in Qin Zhong's straight eyes, gradually disappeared, like his pupils that were out of focus and then diffused, dissipated in the world.
