Hu Qianqiu shook his head, took out his mobile phone, and showed the photo he had just taken to Yuan Liuli.

"It's ......"

"As you can see, there are obvious scorch marks at the fracture of the suspension bridge, which indicates that the suspension bridge was neither broken due to disrepair or strain, nor was it cut by external force, but was burned by fire."

"What does that mean?" Yuan Liuli was a little puzzled.

"Think about it, judging from the scars on Lin Lao's corpse, the murderer must have a sharp weapon on his body, if he really wants to break the rope, why don't he just cut it with a knife, isn't it much easier and faster? Why bother setting fire to it?"

"Besides, if it's really something done by someone outside, what's the point of him doing it? Isolate us from him, and the police will never find them? The real way to do it once and for all is to kill us all. And he had put so much effort into arranging the scene of Lin Lao's death before, just to make others think that Lin Lao had died in an accident, but he turned his head and did such a suspicious thing, isn't it a contradiction?"

Yuan Liuli nodded, "Yes, it makes sense." Although she is smart and intelligent, her mind is not as complicated as Hu Qianqiu, so naturally she will not think so far and so far like Hu Qianqiu.

Hu Qianqiu continued: "In this way, the suspect who killed Lin Lao is determined to be among those people. This can also explain why the suspect used fire to break the rope, instead of cutting it, although this kind of rope is combustible, but it is not so quickly burned, he can have set the rope on fire at that end, and then walk slowly and leisurely, and only in this way can he be on this side but break the rope on the other side. ”

"If Huang Tianhai and the others came out to look for Lin Lao when the bridge was still there, then the suspect could be sure that he was among the three of them, if they didn't pay attention to the suspension bridge at that time, then the suspect should have set up a mechanism when we took the bus here and went on the bridge together, so that the rope would spontaneously combust at a certain time."

"Organs?"

Hu Qianqiu nodded, "The ignition point of white phosphorus is forty degrees Celsius, it is easy to spontaneously combust in the air, if it is paired with some other things, it is easy to make the rope burn, at that time, everyone was concentrating on crossing the suspension bridge, even if he smeared something on the rope of the suspension bridge, no one would pay attention." Of course, the killer may also have used other things, such as talismans. ”

Yuan Liuli was stunned for a moment, then nodded. There are many types of talismans, and if used correctly, they can indeed control the rope from burning at a fixed time.

"Do you still suspect that some of them are unusual and can use special means?"

Hu Qianqiu nodded and said: "Although it is true that the rope can be ignited with a delay in using chemicals such as white phosphorus, it is not easy to control the time, after we arrived at the villa, Applejack quickly returned to the position of the bus, if he happened to see the rope burning when he crossed the suspension bridge again, and extinguished it, wouldn't it be a failure?" ”

"It seems that this is indeed the case. Then why did the prisoner break the bridge? According to you, they must be looking for something, and after the bridge broke, although we couldn't contact the police, everyone else was trapped here and couldn't get out, so wouldn't it be even more inconvenient for him to find that thing? ”

"I've thought about this too, and the most likely explanation is that the killer wants to trap us all here, and then slowly, kill us one by one. That way, he can keep it to himself and don't have to worry about being discovered. ”

Hu Qianqiu's words were appalling, and even Yuan Liuli was stunned for a while.

"Is it necessary to kill so many people for the sake of one thing?"

Hu Qianqiu sneered, "People are creatures of inertia, since the murderer has killed Lin Lao, then he will continue to kill until the goal is achieved." What's more, judging from the arrangement of killing Lin Lao and the means of destroying this drawbridge, the murderer must be an extremely rational and calm person, such a person may not have any emotions at all, and killing people will not make him feel anything in his heart? ”

Yuan Liuli glanced at Hu Qianqiu, "Just like you?" ”

Hu Qianqiu was stunned, "What are you talking about, how could I kill someone!" ”

"Aren't you also rational and calm as if you have no feelings?"

Hu Qianqiu scratched his head and said curtly: "Can this be the same?" I'm just rational in some ways. ”

Yuan Liuli snorted coldly, "Even if it is true that according to what you said, the murderer is ready to kill all of us, then what will he do after that?" How does Applejack explain when he arrives? ”

Hu Qianqiu rubbed his waist, "Since he chose to destroy the suspension bridge, it means that he has already prepared a way out, and by the time Applejack came, he had already run away." There are a total of eight people here, including the dead Lin Lao, as long as he prepares a corpse similar to his body in advance, and then sets a fire to this place and destroys the corpses, then everyone will think that the people who participated in this event died because of the fire. ”

"Since that thing is for him to get even if he kills people, then that thing must have a very high value, after all, this villa was left by a rich man, and that thing may be a priceless treasure. Even if the competent police would later suspect the truth of the matter and start an investigation, he would have fled incognito and abroad. ”

Yuan Liuli was a little stunned, "They are about the same age as us, can they do such a thing?" ”

Hu Qianqiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Good and evil are of no age, and some children's evil is even worse than that of adults." ”

Hu Qianqiu saw that Yuan Liuli's face was a little sluggish, and put his arm around her shoulder, "Don't worry, the two of us are one writer and one martial arts, and the two swords are combined, and we will inevitably turn evil into good fortune." ”

Yuan Liuli was noncommittal, but silently removed the palm of Hu Qianqiu on his shoulder, "They should have waited for a long time, let's go back." After speaking, Hu Qianqiu couldn't reply and walked back to the villa first.

Hu Qianqiu walked behind Yuan Liuli, the smile on his face gradually retracted, revealing a thoughtful expression, his left hand was weakly clenched, the first knuckle of his index finger was attached to his lips, and his teeth bit hard, trying to stimulate his brain in this way and make himself more focused.

Although Hu Qianqiu felt that there was nothing wrong with his reasoning, he always felt that something was missing, and he vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple.

When Hu Qianqiu and Yuan Liuli returned to the villa, the five of them sat on the sofa and waited as before.

Seeing the two of them enter the door, Lu Xuan first snorted coldly, "What a big shelf, let everyone wait for so long." ”

Even Li Ruiyu couldn't help but ask, "What did you two do just now, why did it take so long to come back?" ”

Hu Qianqiu glanced at him and smiled, "Talented and beautiful, naturally you want to talk about some things about Fengyue, can't you?" ”

Yuan Liuli immediately glanced at Hu Qianqiu, but did not refute.

The five people present except for Hu Qianqiu and Yuan Liuli all thought that they were lovers, so although they were a little skeptical of what Hu Qianqiu said, they didn't ask questions, after all, these things happened, and it was still necessary to comfort his girlfriend as a man.

Li Ruiyu coughed, "Let's discuss, what to do next." ”

Hu Qianqiu found the nearest seat to sit down, "Now that the drawbridge is broken, there is no telephone, and the forest is full of dangers, we can only stay here until Applejack comes to pick us up, and even if the drawbridge is broken, he can help me get help from the police." ”

After Hu Qianqiu finished speaking, no one present raised any objections.

The corners of Hu Qianqiu's mouth rose slightly, and soon returned to a gentle arc, "I looked before, there are still a lot of emergency fast food products in the storeroom, although there are seven of us, but it is enough for us to live until then, let's live like this in the next few days." ”

Everyone still had no opinion, but after a while, they heard Lu Xuan say, "That'...... What to do with the corpse in the kitchen? ”

Hu Qianqiu shrugged his shoulders, "What can I do?" Put it away. ”

Lu Xuan was furious, "Can't you just move him to the basement and put him there?" ”

"If you think so, do it yourself."

"I'm a woman!"

"What's wrong with the woman? Isn't it also two hands and two feet? The new era pays attention to the equality of men and women, I am respecting you, I believe that you are as capable of completing this task as men, and you should thank me. ”

"Are you a man!"

"Oh, how can a girl scold."

Although Yuan Liuli didn't know why Hu Qianqiu deliberately provoked Lu Xuan, she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard the two of them arguing like this.

"Laugh at your sister." Lu Xuan glanced at Yuan Liuli, "She looks like a fox spirit, I don't know how many men I hooked up with, I look like a bitch." Oh, bitch with dog, forever. ”

Although Yuan Liuli is often cold in front of others, she is not without temper, and she is also a little annoyed when she hears Lu Xuan suddenly insult herself inexplicably, and when she just wanted to refute, she heard a "snap", which was crisp and pleasant.

Lu Xuan covered the left half of his cheek, which was slightly swollen, and a red slap mark appeared on his originally fair face, and Hu Qianqiu's right hand was also covered with a layer of white powder.

Hu Qianqiu raised his hand and wanted to fight again, but Yuan Jing, who was originally sitting next to Lu Xuan, suddenly stood up, stepped forward with an arrow, and grabbed Hu Qianqiu's wrist, his strength was amazing, Hu Qianqiu's slap couldn't go down, but Hu Qianqiu himself didn't want to fight again.

"Forget it."

Hu Qianqiu sneered and withdrew his palm, "Don't take it as an example!" ”
