After Wang Yuesha finished saying this sentence without a beginning or end, he left like a nobody, and I now suspect that this woman is a psychopath at all, so I turned around and called her

"Hey, did you mean Roy died? You don't want to say that I really killed him. ”

Wang Yuesha stopped, turned to me, and said to me

"No, it's not such a shoddy word, it's your innate endowment, you will summon the most primitive demon in the heart of the human being, that's not a mistake, but helping others to atone for their sins."

"Crazy, crazy!" I shook my head again and again, now I even feel that Wang Yuesha is very pitiful, and I turned around to leave, but Wang Yuesha stopped me in turn

"I've got you covered today."

I didn't want to listen to her nonsense about feudal superstition at all, so I walked away without stopping, but Wang Yuesha behind me raised her voice and shouted

"The evil star recedes and the auspicious star comes, the happy event is re-praised, the spring breeze everywhere adds willow color, and when the iron becomes gold, good luck, good luck, you will make a name for yourself and show off your might."

I waved my hand without looking back

"I don't understand, I don't understand!"

I cursed in my heart, "Neurotic!" ”

After returning to the hotel, I knocked on the door, it was Zhang Kexin who opened the door for me, the moment we both looked at each other, both of them were very embarrassed, and hurriedly dodged, Zhang Kexin turned around and returned to the house without saying a word.

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Zhang Kexin to come back so soon, he had already found Ke Hezi's alibi? When passing by the bathroom, I heard the sound inside, I guess it should be Guo Hongyi inside, I don't know where Su Yong went, at this time there were only me and Zhang Kexin in the room, the two of us were lying on the bed, and we didn't talk to each other, this scene was exactly the same as when we first met, but the atmosphere was more awkward.

I looked at the bathroom from time to time, hoping that Guo Hongyi would come out quickly and break this embarrassing situation, after two minutes, Zhang Kexin coughed and asked

"Dude, do you smoke?"

This was the question he asked me the first time we met, and even the tone of his voice was exactly the same, and it seemed that he felt the same way I did at the moment, and I replied in the same way as I had met for the first time

"Oh? It's okay to have one, do you have one? ”

Zhang Kexin sat up and said

"Yes, yes, yes." As he spoke, he handed me a cigarette and I laughed

"Didn't you finish this time?"

Zhang Kexin also smiled after lighting a cigarette for me and said

"I can't tease you like that every time."

After I took a puff of cigarette, I looked at Zhang Kexin's appearance, haha smiled, Zhang Kexin also looked at me and smiled, we are reconciled, the friendship between men is indeed very pure, very simple, if you quarrel, you will soon not hold grudges, and you don't even need to say sorry, because between good brothers, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, the important thing is that we are brothers.

At this time, Guo Hongyi also came out of the bathroom, and when he saw me and Zhang Kexin laughing and talking, he knew that the two of us were back together, and sat next to me with a smile and said

"That's right, how can there be an overnight feud between brothers, and it's not a matter of principle."

I didn't really want to continue on this embarrassing topic, I asked

"What happened to the results of your two investigations?"

When Zhang Kexin heard this, he couldn't hide his expression and said

"Don't mention it, I walked all the way without asking anyone who saw Kehezi last night."

I patted Zhang Kexin on the shoulder and comforted

"This is also normal, after all, it is so late, and there is basically no one on the road." I turned my head again and asked Guo Hongyi

"Brother Guo, what about you?"

Guo Hongyi said with a red face

"I'm even more miserable, how can I get information, I blush when I talk to people, and I don't get any useful information."

It seems that the progress is not going well, the three of us fell into deep thought, Guo Hongyi asked

"Yang'er, how are you doing over there? Has the secret room been unraveled? ”

I shook my head and said, thinking back to what I had just guessed

"I have some vague ideas, but there is still a very important point, but I feel that the focus is not on the method of the secret room, but on who the murderer is."

Immediately after that, I told them what Officer Hu had taught me, and they also felt that it made sense, Zhang Kexin asked

"Who is the murderer, do you have an idea?"

I leaned back and said helplessly

"I have no clue at all, if you want to know who the murderer is, you must first know who has a stake in the deceased, and then find out who is suspicious, so as to screen out who the murderer is, and now I have no information at all."

Guo Hongyi pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly

"I'm sorry, it's up to me."

Zhang Kexin took the initiative to take responsibility and said

"Brother Guo, don't say that, this should have been my job..."

"Okay!" I got up and said

"Then we'll still do our own thing, but let's go and ask who Roy has a grudge with."

Although he was still a little reluctant, Zhang Kexin nodded and said

"Well, catching the murderer can also prove Ke Hezi's innocence."

I saw his careful thinking, and in order to let him devote himself to obtaining information, I turned my head and said to Guo Hongyi

"Brother Guo, you should also do what you do best."

How smart Guo Hongyi is, he understood my mind at once, looked at Zhang Kexin, pushed his glasses and said

"Kexin, I will go along the road to find evidence that Ke Hezi is not lying, you can rest assured to complete your work."

Zhang Kexin's eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude, but he still said very calmly

"Brother Guo, your ability is not used to do this, right..."

Guo Hongyi said with a smile

"That room has already been investigated by Officer Hu and them on three floors inside and three layers outside, and there can't be any clues that haven't been discovered, in that case, I might as well do a good job of auxiliary work, so that you can solve the case with more peace of mind."

After speaking, he took his coat and left generously, and Zhang Kexin hurriedly instructed

"Brother Guo, it's cold outside, fasten the buckle."

I glanced at Zhang Kexin and asked puzzled

"What are you doing sitting here?"

Zhang Kexin also glanced at me and asked rhetorically

"And what are you doing sitting here?"

I spread my hands and said

"Of course I'm going to stay here and think quietly, do you want me to go out and get cold like you do? My plastic physique, you will pay for it if it freezes out? ”

"Humph!" Zhang Kexin rolled his eyes, and also went out with his coat, at this time I was the only one left in the room, it was very quiet, and just when I thought I could think, Su Yong came back.

"Huh? Brother Yang, I saw Kexin at the door just now, why did he go out again? ”

I was now thinking about the case, and I seemed to know a lot, but I didn't seem to know anything, so I replied absentmindedly

"Ah, he's out for something."

"Brother Yang, when I was buying fruit just now, I heard that today is not Christmas, and there will be a band in the West End in the evening."

"Oh, Brother Yong, don't talk yet, I'll think about something first."

"Okay, you think slowly, let's go and see it together at night? I've heard that it's a heavy metal band built by students, and I like this one the most..."

"Shut up!" In the face of Su Yong's incessant talking, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and ordered

"You, now let me go to bed and lie down, close my mouth, breathe through my nose, or I'll dig out your knees and make soup for you to drink."

Su Yong knew that although I wouldn't really dig out his knees, if I really me off, he would definitely have no good fruit to eat, so he lay on the bed without saying a word.

The focus of my thinking now is not on the method of the secret room, but on the purpose of the murderer's creation of the secret room

"Zhang Fan once showed me a book in which he elaborated on the purpose of the murderer's secret room:

1. Disguise his homicide as a suicide or accident.

2. Suspicious of a person who may have entered or exited a secret room, or who is in a secret room with the victim.

3. Obstructing the police from finding out the crime they have committed.

4. Delay the time when the body is found.

5. Let the police mistakenly believe that the secret room is the scene of the crime.

6. I came up with the idea of turning the crime scene into a secret room, and I wanted to try it.

7. In order to hide the real secret room.

8. A certain act carried out in the process of creating a secret room is the real purpose of the murderer.

Let's analyze them one by one, first of all, the first two can be ruled out, it is obviously homicide, there is no possibility of pretending to commit suicide, there is only the deceased in the secret room, so there is no possibility of framing the blame; The third point, to put it bluntly, is that if the police can't solve the puzzle, they can't find the murderer, which seems to be somewhat possible; The fourth point is unrealistic, the corpse is in the international student apartment, and it will not take long to be found; Fifth, there is no doubt that Roy's room was definitely the scene of the crime; Sixth, in order to show off your skills? There can't be such a boring person; The seventh point is simply that the deceased really committed suicide, but pretended to be killed by someone and planted the blame, but generally such a suicide will leave behind a secret room method that is easy to crack, and more obvious evidence, such as the case of Du Ruo framing Wu Tong at the beginning, but this case is obviously not like that; The eighth point means that a certain act in the process of creating a secret room is the real purpose of the murderer, for example, the murderer's purpose is to move Roy's hanger to the window, but if you simply move the hanger over, it will make people suspicious, so use the secret room to cover it up, but the reason is the same as the seventh point, if this is the purpose, you must use a simpler secret room. Thinking about it this way, the only possibility is the third one, that is, to use this technique to protect yourself? ”

Thinking of this, I almost let myself cry stupidly, and gently slapped myself and said

"Why did you come back again? In the end, do you still have to crack the secret room method first? ”

I clutched at my hair in agony, pondering where to find the murderer

"Motivation? It depends on Zhang Kexin's intelligence; Clue? The only clue is K, the murderer wiped the fingerprints on the murder weapon, and there is no surveillance in the apartment, so no other effective clues can be found; Technique? How on earth did the killer separate the rope from the key? Or am I thinking the wrong thing at all? ”

I once again had the urge to call Zhang Fan, that feeling like doing a workbook and trying to find the answer to a difficult problem, although I could quickly solve the problem, but I lost the sense of accomplishment of conquering the problem, I forced this impulse, closed my eyes, and lay on the bed to persuade myself

"Can't cheat, can't cheat..."

As I read and receded, I fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, I was woken up by a noise, I slowly opened my eyes, at this time Guo Hongyi and Zhang Kexin had already returned, as if they were discussing something, Su Yong saw that I was awake, chewing an apple and said

"You're finally awake, this snoring is like a cannon, and I thought you couldn't do it."

I yawned, got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face, and sat down next to Zhang Kexin and Guo Hongyi and asked

"You're both back, what time is it?"

Guo Hongyi looked at his watch and said

"We just came back, woke you up, it's already 6 o'clock."

I tapped my head and said

"I actually slept all afternoon, by the way, you two have been out for so long, how is the investigation?"

Zhang Kexin smiled and replied for Guo Hongyi

"Looking for evidence, this kind of thing really depends on Brother Guo."

Zhang Kexin said this, and the implication was that Guo Hongyi really found the person who saw Ke Hezi last night, and I asked with some surprise

"Brother Guo really found it?"

Guo Hongyi nodded a little embarrassedly and said

"It's a little clever, it's almost late and there is almost no one on the road, so I want to see if there is any 24-hour surveillance video that will record Ke Hezi's figure."

"The result?"

"I followed the route and noticed a bank, and I asked Officer Hu for help to see their video last night, and Ke Hezi did pass in front of their door twice, at 2:50 and 3:05, back and forth."

These two times also perfectly missed the time of the crime around three o'clock, I asked suspiciously

"How long does it take to get from the residence to the bank if I walk?"

"15 minutes, the distance is not close, so if Ke Hezi can appear twice at these two points in time, then it is absolutely impossible for her to be in the international student apartment at 3 o'clock."

I glanced at Zhang Kexin and said with a little embarrassment

"Ke Xin, I'm sorry, it seems that I was too impulsive before."

Zhang Kexin shook his head generously and said

"Now that the truth is out, it's better."

"So, what about the new you?"

The information Zhang Kexin got this time can no longer be described as just a lot of gains, it simply opened another door for me and gave me a new understanding of this "northern daughter country".
