Yuan Liuli walked up to Hu Qianqiu, "Don't you think that Ajie and Gao Mingyi, whose corpse disappeared, could be murderers?" Then why do you say that if one more person dies, the real culprit will be exposed? If you can't be sure that the murderer is among those two people, don't you still have a clue? ”

Hu Qianqiu turned around and looked at the platforms on the second and third floors behind him, "That's just to deceive them, if the murderer is really one of the two of them, hearing me say this, I will be more or less jealous in the future, and I shouldn't kill anyone again in a short time." ”

Hu Qianqiu smiled bitterly, "But this is only the most ideal situation, if the murderer is really one of those two people, then with his city government's scheming, most of them have already seen through my thoughts and have a plan to deal with it." ”

"So what to do?"

Hu Qianqiu shook his head, "According to my original plan, the two of us will follow them separately, so that we can protect innocent people, and if the murderer is one of them, this can also restrict his actions to a certain extent, but judging from the methods that the murderer is currently showing, we may be in danger by doing so, not to mention that in the current situation, those two people no longer trust us, and this plan will naturally not work." ”

"Do you just watch the murderer act recklessly?"

"Of course not, in my opinion, if the murderer wants to kill someone next, it is very likely that it will be tonight, when we will guard the staircase on the second floor, so that whether Li Ruiyu on the second floor wants to go up, or Lu Xuan on the third floor wants to come down, they can't avoid us, and even if the murderer is someone else hiding in the villa besides them, if you want to kill someone, you should have to go through the stairs."

Yuan Liuli nodded, "It seems that this is the only way to do it at the moment." ”

Hu Qianqiu answered, turned his head and continued to look at the paintings on the wall.

"Why are you still staring at these paintings?"

Hu Qianqiu shook his head and didn't explain, now he has many doubts in his mind, which need to be sorted out, and he already has some clues about the deep meaning behind the painting on this wall, but now it is just a speculation, and it is not suitable to say it.

Yuan Liuli knew that he was thinking about things when he saw Hu Qianqiu's expression, so he sat silently on the sofa and looked at him, and didn't bother.

Hu Qianqiu no longer stared at the wall, but paced back and forth in the hall, and then reimagined the case in his mind.

Shortly after they moved into the villa yesterday, Lin Lao was killed, and the scene was arranged to look like a tiger invasion, but Hu Qianqiu has also roughly figured out the modus operandi of this case, although the truth may not be exactly the same as he thinks, but there should not be much deviation, and with the criminal modus operandi he conceived, several people he suspects can do it, so it can't be a breakthrough in the matter, and he doesn't think about it anymore.

And this morning, Hu Qianqiu

When he went to call people in various rooms, Lu Xuan found that Gao Mingyi was hanging on the crystal chandelier, and immediately after, Hu Qianqiu found the confession book in his room, it was obvious that this was a smoke bomb set by the murderer, but what Hu Qianqiu didn't understand was that since the murderer planned to disguise Gao Mingyi as a fear of crime and commit suicide, why didn't he attribute the guilt of killing Yuan Jing to him? Could it be that the murderer was bumped into by Yuan Jing after killing Gao Mingyi and pretending to commit suicide, so killing Yuan Jing was just an emergency? But since the murderer is determined to kill everyone, why should he disguise himself so many times? As long as there are more deaths, it is easy to conclude that Gao Mingyi did not commit suicide.

Or in other words, everything is as Hu Qianqiu deduced, Gao Mingyi is not dead at all, all this is just a smoke bomb he released, the purpose is to confuse everyone, transfer the object of suspicion, so that everyone falls into mutual suspicion, so that he who is hidden in the shadows has more opportunities to kill.

Hu Qianqiu nodded silently, now it seems that this possibility is the highest, but it still can't rule out the suspicion of others.

And after Gao Mingyi's body was discovered, Hu Qianqiu asked Huang Tianhai and Li Ruiyu to find a ladder to put his body down, but just a few minutes after he entered Gao Mingyi's room, Gao Mingyi's body disappeared, if the real murderer was not Gao Mingyi, then why did the murderer hide Gao Mingyi's body? Hu Qianqiu never understood this.

After that, Hu Qianqiu and Yuan Liuli found Yuan Jing dead in Lin Lao's room, although the knife wound on Yuan Jing's body and his posture after death were very suspicious, but what puzzled Hu Qianqiu the most was how the secret room was structured. The anti-lock of Lin Lao's room is twisted, it is impossible to lock it with a rope outside the door, and there is no trace of opening in the window of the room, and there is not the slightest gap after it is closed, so it is naturally impossible for the murderer to leave the window from the window and lock the window with any props. If the murderer was actually hiding in the room at the time, and it was even more impossible to leave later, Hu Qianqiu had already checked it, and there was no place to hide at all.

Although Hu Qianqiu once suspected that the murderer had used some special means to create the secret room, when he saw the corpse chasing talisman attached to Huang Tianhai's corpse, he dispelled the idea in his heart. The reason is very simple, the corpse chaser is not a great talisman, ordinary people can also use it, if the murderer really has that ability, he can use more clever means, and when he murdered Lin Lao, he didn't have to put so much effort and so many tools to arrange the scene.

Therefore, Hu Qianqiu boldly speculated that the murderer should have had contact with some people with special abilities, and obtained some simple talismans from the other party, but he himself had no ability.

It's just that in this way, Hu Qianqiu can't figure out what is going on in the secret room.

Judging from the conversation with Yuan Jing yesterday, he is obviously the object of suspicion, and that person is likely to be the murderer, such as

If he had asked Yuan Jing at that time, he would probably not have to be so troublesome now. "Huh." Hu Qianqiu suddenly sneered, but in this way, it was inevitable that there would be a lot less fun.

Hu Qianqiu himself did not realize that he was becoming more and more obsessed with the joy of solving puzzles, and more and more indifferent to the deaths of others.

Hu Qianqiu turned his head to look at Huang Tianhai's body on the ground, and rushed back shortly after discovering that he was dead, without carefully examining the cause of his death.

Hu Qianqiu squatted on the ground to check Huang Tianhai's body, there were no obvious external injuries on his body, and there were no torn clothes on his body, obviously he had not experienced a fight before he died, and if he wanted to talk about other places, only his face was a little red.

Hu Qianqiu pulled Huang Tianhai's clothes, checked the place on his body that was covered by the fabric, and sure enough, he found a pinhole-sized dot on his right shoulder, the color of the dot was dark red, and the skin around him was also slightly raised, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, and it seemed to be caused by air entering the blood vessels after the injection.

"I see."

"Got a clue?" Yuan Liuli looked at Hu Qianqiu's appearance in his chest, and couldn't help but ask.

Hu Qianqiu nodded and pointed to the injection hole on Huang Tianhai's body, "Look at this." ”

"What is this?"

"Although I don't know what it is, he should have been injected with some kind of poison before he died, and the injection port is in this position, indicating that the murderer may have worn a poisonous sharp object on his hand far away, and that thing is likely to be a ring with a needle tip, when the murderer patted Huang Tianhai on the shoulder......"

"Smack." Hu Qianqiu reached out and patted Yuan Liuli's shoulder.

"The toxin got into his body."

"The reason why this method was adopted was to divert Huang Tianhai's attention, so that he would not notice the tip of the needle piercing his skin at that moment."

"It took us some time to remove the curtains and tie them together, if there is a secret passage in the villa or if the murderer has his own rope, it is very likely that Huang Tianhai will be found before us. And at that time, the murderer can kill him unknowingly by pretending to greet him and patting him on the shoulder. ”

"The murderer must have noticed that we were also tracking Huang Tianhai, so after Huang Tianhai died, in order to avoid colliding with us, he first hid elsewhere, and put a corpse chapel charm on his body to lead us away from the villa, and then he was relieved to return here. This can also explain why Li Ruiyu and Lu Xuan are all safe and sound, because at that time, he has just returned here, and there is no time to kill. ”

Yuan Liuli sighed, "It's a pity that I can only detect the qi of the creature in my sight, otherwise I would have been able to catch him at that time." ”

"It's not your fault, and we don't get nothing."
