Chapter 64: Secret Conversation in the Room
Yuan Liuli nodded, "There is some truth to it." ”
Hu Qianqiu responded, and then said: "If it is the second possibility, that is, if someone inside does it, then it can't be said." ”
"Why is that?"
"Because once you say it, everyone will fall into suspicion of other people, and then they will not dare to act with others because they are afraid, so it is inevitable that they will be alone, and if I am the murderer, I will naturally hope that this situation will happen."
Yuan Liuli nodded slowly, "That's true." ”
"There is another important reason. That is, it is very likely that those of them have known each other for a long time. ”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Liuli was a little puzzled.
After Lu Xuan saw the corpse, Yuan Jing immediately ran over to comfort her, although this can also be said to be human nature, but for a person who has only known each other for a few hours, it is too attentive, not to mention that in terms of these few hours of getting along, Yuan Jing does not seem to be a warm-hearted person.
Yuan Liuli lowered his head and thought for a while, "Hearing you say this, it seems to make some sense." ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, and then continued: "And when we returned to the hall to introduce ourselves earlier, Yuan Jing and Huang Tianhai were talking, but they immediately shut up after discovering us, so it is very likely that they also know each other, and the matter they are discussing should be some ulterior secret." ”
"In addition, Huang Tianhai hit me when he crossed the bridge before, but when he passed by Li Ruiyu's side, he deliberately avoided it, obviously Li Ruiyu looked much easier to bully than me, and when Li Ruiyu asked everyone to go to Lin Lao before, he also separated himself and Huang Tianhai together, just Huang Tianhai's bad boy's appearance, a normal weak scholar would not take the initiative to stay with him."
Yuan Liuli couldn't help but interject, "Forget about the others, Li Ruiyu's matter should simply be that you think too much, your reason is really far-fetched, don't you have a good impression of him, you were still talking to him in front of Lu Xuan before, why are you suspicious of him now?" ”
Hu Qianqiu smiled: "Have you forgotten that I didn't even suspect my predecessors before?" ”
Yuan Liuli was speechless.
"Feelings affect a person's judgment, and the more rational it is at such times, the more people who think it is impossible, the more they should be suspicious, so that there will be no omissions because of the so-called feelings."
"Oh? Isn't that the first thing you should have doubted me? ”
Hu Qianqiu smiled, "You have been with me before, and there is no possibility of committing a crime at all." ”
Yuan Liuli picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at Hu Qianqiu, "You really doubted me!" ”
Although Hu Qianqiu had expected this, he didn't dodge it when he saw the pillow flying, and let the pillow fall on him, anyway, it didn't hurt.
Hu Qianqiu smiled secretly, unconsciously, Yuan Liuli's personality was much more lively than when he first met, at least when facing him, there was rarely that kind of chilly feeling.
"Even if they know each other, what does it have to do with you not being able to tell the truth?"
"It's a big deal. Once I tell the truth, there will definitely be people who will be suspicious of the people around me, and if they know each other, the object of suspicion will definitely be biased towards us two strangers, and then our actions will definitely be restricted, so that not only will the real criminals get away with it, but it will be difficult for us to investigate further. ”
Yuan Liuli was a little stunned, but he didn't expect that in a short period of time, Hu Qianqiu would think about it so much.
"Okay, let's get down to business, I just suspect they know each other, and it's not surprising that they must have something to do with the murder. But they must be hiding some secret, and it's probably a secret that everyone but the two of us know. ”
"You're saying they're not willing to stop the event?"
"Talking to smart people is a matter of convenience. Under normal circumstances, as long as you are not a murderer, your first reaction after finding the body must be to call the police in addition to fleeing, but when I said that the activity would be terminated after the police came, no one really wanted to contact the police, and when we just came up, they didn't mean to go to the landline. ”
Yuan Liuli nodded, "Could it be that 20,000 yuan is so attractive to them?" ”
"How is this possible, do you see how they are dressed, like they are very poor? Even a poor bastard like me no longer thinks about the 20,000 yuan at this time, let alone them? I don't know if you remember, after introducing himself at that time, Lu Xuan once complained that Lin Lao didn't give me any clues, how to find ......"
Yuan Liuli is also an extremely smart girl, listening to Hu Qianqiu say this, she understood when she came, the invitation only said that she was participating in the exploration and decryption activity, what was the specific content, and she didn't mention it at all, how did she know what she was looking for?
Hu Qianqiu knew that she understood what she meant just by looking at Yuan Liuli's expression, and then said her thoughts, "In my opinion, the secret they are hiding should be related to the thing they are looking for, and most of this thing is in this villa, so they are reluctant to recruit the police, because in this way, they will not be able to find this thing anymore." ”
"What is more important than a human life?"
Hu Qianqiu shrugged helplessly, "God knows." ”
Yuan Liuli squinted at Hu Qianqiu, "Although they are abnormal, you are even more strange, there was a murder around you, and you also saw the corpse with your own eyes, how can you still be so calm, like a person who is fine?" ”
Although Yuan Liuli was not shocked, it did not mean that she did not have any feelings about Lin Lao's death, on the contrary, although she and Lin Lao had not spoken a word, she was still a little sad in her heart, after all, it was a human life, but years of cultivation made her accustomed to hiding her truest feelings.
As for Hu Qianqiu, he was not deliberately pretending, at least at this moment, he really didn't feel the slightest, as if he was looking at something that had nothing to do with him. Although he is very emotional at some times, it is only for familiar people, and people like Lin Lao who have just met will not let him deviate from his rationality at all.
Hu Qianqiu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "After all, he and I just met not long ago, and we can't talk about any friendship at all, if it's because he's sad, it's too deliberate, except for you, I think no one else downstairs should feel sad for him." ”
"You ......" Yuan Liuli was a little strange, she didn't show it at all, how did Hu Qianqiu see her feelings?
Hu Qianqiu smiled, he had been with Yuan Liuli for so long, and he still had some understanding of the other party's true character.
"Don't think you can tell what I'm thinking, I've practiced too. Although the faces of those people downstairs were solemn, it was partly due to the instinctive fear of death, after all, corpses are not everywhere, and another reason was that they were worried that the event would be terminated, so they put on such expressions one by one. And I didn't feel scared or worried about the event being terminated, so naturally I didn't feel anything. ”
Yuan Liuli was speechless.
"I'd like to tell you about what I found. After you left, I briefly investigated the corpse and found that the cause of Lin Laozhen's death was not that his neck was bitten off, but that he was strangled to death. ”
"What!"
"If you die because your neck is bitten off, then because the aorta is ruptured, the blood that flows out will appear to be sprayed because of blood pressure, and although the kitchen floor is full of blood, it seems to be flat on the ground, and it is obvious that the neck was broken after the corpse died, and the heart of the corpse has stopped beating at this time, and the blood will naturally not spurt out."
"After my examination, I found that Lin Lao's corpse had bleeding eyelids and cyanosis of his lips, which were all characteristics of being strangled, and although a piece of his neck was bitten off, I still found a very fine strangulation mark on the remaining muscle."
"Therefore, the murderer first strangled Lin Lao to death with a rope, then tore off the muscles of his neck with the help of tools, and then used claw-like knives to leave claw marks on him and around the kitchen, the purpose is to make us think that this murder was an accident caused by a tiger invasion."
"As I said earlier, the perpetrators of this case may be outsiders or insiders, but judging from the current situation, unless the offender is a murderer with a special habit, it is basically impossible for someone from the outside world to commit the crime. After all, burglaries and murders are basically for money, but at present, it seems that there is nothing less in this villa, and if it is a vendetta, this place is so remote that there will basically be no other people, and we have nothing to do with Lin Lao at all, and we don't even know what he does, so there is no need to go to such great lengths to disguise, and no one will find out if he stabs him to death directly and leaves. ”
Yuan Liuli's eyes looked at Hu Qianqiu for the first time with a little more admiration, "You know so much." So, the murderer should be one of the five people downstairs? ”
Hu Qianqiu shook his head, "Not necessarily, although the possibility of an outsider committing the crime is very small, it is not completely impossible, and even if there is only a little possibility, we should not ignore it." When encountering this kind of thing, I am most afraid of admitting death, if I insist on going one way to the dark, not only may I miss the truth, but also is very likely to cause greater losses. ”
"It's a shame you don't want to be a detective."
Hu Qianqiu smiled slightly and did not speak.
"By the way, there is something I want to ask you, you can feel the qi on people, so if it is a monster disguised as a human, can you feel it?"
"It's hard to say. The monsters that can disguise themselves in human form are all great demons who have done the Tao, and these monsters are good at disguising themselves, so if they want to hide, I can't find out. ”
"I see."
"You suspect that there are monsters among those people."
Hu Qianqiu smiled, "It's not counting, you also know that my system is easy to provoke those things, although it has been a while since I have encountered it, but I can't meet it today, so it's always right to be more prepared." ”
Yuan Liuli nodded, "That's right." ”
"If it was really one of the five of them who did it, I can probably guess their motives."
"What motive?"
