It is precisely because of this that his demon-destroying spell has not been burned out.

He never thought that the woman who was still charming and charming the night before would be splashed with blood in the blink of an eye, and her white neck was blurred with flesh and blood. It was precisely because of this that he became more and more frightened, and as soon as he remembered the death of the woman he had kneaded the night before, he felt a chill down his spine.

The others followed Xu Chu's words and looked in the direction of the rockery and bamboo forest in the dark.

The height of this rockery is much shorter than that of the bamboo forest, if the "whoosh" sound that night comes from the top of the bamboo, then that place echoes the top of the rockery in front of you. And it formed a perfect slope, and to her eye, as long as something was light enough, the slope was enough for that thing to slide down.

And that "whoosh" is probably the sound of the murderer or accomplice pulling the silk thread. And this person, Xu Chu concluded that it was a mother. At the same time, she must also be a sacrificer.

One is that after Jin Manshan was frightened, he would definitely let Jin Fu accompany him, and it was difficult for him to find a reason to get out and sneak into the Splendid Garden again. The second is also because of Xie Niang's medicine bottle that once contained sweat medicine, if it was really Xie Niang's doing, then how could she put the tranquilizer pill she took every day in the bottle containing sweat medicine?

In this way, it is self-evident who is most suspicious.

Looking at the sharp point of the top of the mountain, there is another slope with the water pavilion. In the dark night, with silk threads as a cover, there is no clue at all.

Everyone listened clearly, and the little fear in their hearts quietly dissipated. However, he was thoughtful and meticulous, and asked, "What is the matter with the fire that is still strong when it meets the water?" ”

"Then it will be thanks to the Ding furnace commonly used in Taoist alchemy." Xu Chu's words were unhurried, "When the Taoist alchemy is alchemy, all kinds of rocks will be used into the furnace, so there are often examples of alchemy books that record the explosion of the Dan furnace and cannot be saved. I think if you like to read the history of barnyard officials, you will probably be familiar with these. ”

"To put it bluntly, it's just limestone, chalk, and so on, and once they are smelted in the Dan furnace, they change violently to produce a powdery thing. And it is this thing that can react violently when it encounters water and tide, and then burn or even explode. After Xu Chu finished speaking, he shook his head and continued, "And the scene you just saw was made with this powder, and this was collected from under the eaves of the water pavilion that we never burned out that day. ”

"That day, there were water stains everywhere, and the powder contained phosphorus powder, so it not only burned in water, but also brought the rumored ghost fire blue light in the countryside." Xu Chu pointed to the two braziers in the water pavilion and continued, "Phosphorus powder is flammable, and the flame will float with the wind. It is precisely for this reason that many people ignore what the murderer really wants to hide under the phosphorus fire, that is, the powder that has been scattered around the burned paper. ”

"So there are no ghosts here?"

"Yes."

Saying this, whether it was the people who were still in the clouds and couldn't understand it, or the people who understood Xu Chu's words, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not a ghost, that's much better, at least they don't have to worry about being taken out of thin air.

Even though everyone still reminds them to be scared now, they are more afraid than before, lest any female ghost can emerge from any corner, and it is better than ever.

"Before that jade girl was burned to death, we heard her play the pipa with our own ears and saw her smile weirdly, so what is the explanation?"

If it weren't for the demon's possession, where would anyone let themselves be burned alive! Moreover, there was no scream or cry for help in the whole process, not to mention that they saw it, if you just heard about it, you would feel incredible.

"No, Yu Niang didn't die in front of you and me." Xu Chu paused for a moment, and said in a firm and irrefutable tone, "In fact, she was frozen to death before she was placed in the water pavilion. ”

"And what we all see and hear is not false, but not all of them are true."

Everyone was stunned and looked at her with puzzled expressions. What he said made them more and more puzzled, isn't it a contradiction?

Xu Chu glanced at Jin Fu, who didn't say a word, and said coldly: "All the characteristics of the corpse in the autopsy list can prove that Yu Niang was frozen to death. And the frozen corpse has always had the characteristics of a wry smile, that is, the corpse will appear to be smiling but not smiling, which is exactly the weird smile under the cloak that everyone saw that night. ”

"As for the sound of the lute, it is nothing more than the sound caused by the fingers that have been placed on the pipa when the corpse's hand is curled up with heat."

"If you recall carefully, it should not be difficult to remember what tune Yu Niang played at that time. Even I, a person who does not understand the rhythm of music, can hear the perfunctory and harsh sound of the lute that night, without the slightest rhyme, let alone you? It is precisely because she is long dead that she cannot choose to play decently, so it will be so. ”

At the end, she added, "I can only say that the murderer really added to the snake!" ”

Besides, Xie Niang's case, in fact, it is not difficult to see through. After she finished speaking, she had already asked Wei Guang and the two guards to rebuild the beams, because it was just a simulation and there was no need to bother as much as that day.

After she hung the dummies borrowed from the juggling troupe on the wire, and then instructed the two guards on the left and right to pull the wire, she said no more. However, just as the black shadow reached the beam, the two guards involuntarily fell back a few steps, and then they could pull the wire tightly.

At the same time, the dummy hanging high has also been strangled by wire and landed on the ground.

Because the dummy is not enough for Xie Niang's weight after all, and it can't spin the action, it is much lighter in terms of strength. It is precisely because of this that the guards take a few steps backwards when the wire stuck in a circle on the crossbar falls off.

And Xie Niang's situation at that time, the reason why the subordinates did not notice too many clues. One is that when the spin is up, Xie Niang's waist will also be wrapped around the wire to cooperate with the pull of outsiders. The second is that Xie Niang's weight and momentum make her neck twisted the moment the wire falls off, and then people ignore the abnormality.

"Yin Niang, can you tell everyone who inspected the props in the red makeup room? Playing on the pitch? Xie Niang's tranquilizing pill, who prepared it? As she spoke, she took out the medicine bottle in her hand, hooked her lips and said, "Regardless of whether the five stone san in the pill is related to the case, it is only said that on the night when everyone stayed in the villa, when the Splendid Garden was haunted, the movements that were made were not heard by the Yu Niang who lived in the Splendid Garden." Don't you think it's strange? ”

"And I, just inside this medicine bottle, I found a residual sweat medicine."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. This wave of twists and turns, I don't dare to write like this in the book.

Yin Niang's body trembled, and she hesitated: "It was checked by Yu Niang, and it was also Yu Niang who was in charge of the eldest sister's tranquilizing pill." But, but ...... There's no reason for her to kill the eldest sister and the second sister! ”

They treat her like their own daughter, except that they can't give her a good background and past, as long as there is a red makeup building, they will never be stingy. Even for marriage, they tried their best for her, just hoping that she could be the only one of the four sisters who could die well.

Xu Chu looked at her fragile face and crumbling appearance, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, "In addition, the Taoist temple where she lived when she was young was also based on alchemy. Moreover, Jin Manshan has also sought the elixir of desire there many times! ”

"Later, the Daoguan Dan furnace exploded inexplicably, and the fire could not be extinguished for a long time, so she was out of that demon cave."

The people below are not stupid, and if it is so obvious, they can naturally hear the key point. So, in a moment of astonishment, someone spoke: "Doesn't that mean that it is possible for that girl to have that kind of powerful powder that catches when it encounters water?" ”

But why did she do that? Aren't she and Xie Niang Yuniang like sisters? And what kind of hatred does she have with Boss Zhang and Boss Yu, as for the lives of so many people in a row? ”

"Alas, no, if Yu Niang is a murderer, then how can you explain the ghost incident that has been in trouble in this villa for several years before?"

Xu Chu saw that someone asked, so he continued, "So there are two murderers in this case, and they should be together inside and outside." Next, it's time to talk about another murderer, who killed Boss Zhang with his own hands half an hour ago, and was scared to death by the boss! ”

"By now, everyone should have known that the villa had been haunted for years. And I have summarized a few characteristics of the murderer, why don't you sit down and see who is the most suspicious. ”

She looked up in the direction of Xiao Qinglang, and saw Xiao Qinglang standing with his hands in his hands, and when she saw her looking over, she nodded slightly. Such a glance made her feel a lot more settled. At least some things are still under control.

The hearts of the people below were full of suspicions, but because Xu Chu could save them, they didn't dare to urge.

"First, that person is familiar with Jin Manshan's living habits, and can always know his whereabouts without being suspected. Second, the man had access to the spells used by Jin Manshan, so much so that he replaced the Demon Slaying Spell with a Waste Spell. Third, he can use the mouth of Jinman Mountain to gather all the people he wants to kill to the villa, and he can also invite people to stay overnight. Fourth, he is familiar with the patrol routes and shifts of the subordinates in the villa, and then he can avoid people's sight to commit crimes. Fifth, he knew where there were bamboo pieces in the villa that could be used as paper ties, and even knew some kind of secret that could trap Jin Manshan in the villa without being able to get out. Sixth, he helped Yu Niang lie and forged alibi certificates with each other. Seventh, he has a grudge against Jin Manshan. Last, and most importantly, there must have been a residue of rouge and lip grease on his fingers now, and the powder was the same as that used by the Red Makeup Lady. Moreover, according to the autopsy, his body must have been splattered with blood, and the cuff of his left sleeve was also infected with a ball of blood......"
