When Ichie returned to his room, he didn't feel much sleep, for he had been thinking about one question—what would Mr. Owen do to get rid of the remaining four?

Unfortunately, Iqi has not been able to come up with a feasible plan.

At this time, everyone is already frightened, and the alertness is naturally much higher than usual, if Mr. Owen wants to continue to shoot, then... The odds of failure will undoubtedly increase a lot.

Of course, it's not impossible, for example... With the strength of the crushing level, you can directly kill everyone, and in addition, you can use the power of foreign objects, such as... Lost revolver.

However, both possibilities were vetoed by Yiqi.

First of all, Mr. Owen and Ben do not have the strength to surpass ordinary people, which can be seen from his modus operandi, and at the same time... The use of supernatural powers will also be detected by Yi Qi.

As for... With firearms, if Mr. Owen really wanted to use simple and crude means, he would not have gone to great lengths to come up with soldier nursery rhymes and ten little porcelain figures.

Iqi can understand such thoughts, for some paranoid murderers, killing is never their real purpose, because... It is merely a means to an end.

Just like Mr. Owen, he prefers to torture people's hearts in a fearful way rather than killing the sinners on the island, otherwise... When everyone is defenseless, wouldn't it be easier to poison everyone directly?

Since he couldn't think of the result, Yi Qi stopped wasting brain cells, and then sipped the juice with relish while waiting for the mystery to be revealed......

……

A moment later, the sound of Suosuo's footsteps could be heard in the corridor on the second floor, apparently because he and the old judge had left, causing Longbottom to give up his insistence, and everyone returned to the room one after another.

However, not long after the footsteps disappeared, there were screams and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Yi Qi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately turned over and got out of bed, and then followed the sound to the female teacher. Outside Vera's house.

The door of the room is open, so Yi Qi can see everything in the room through the door, and at this moment... The governess was lying motionless on the ground, and beside her were a small table and a chair that had been knocked down.

However, instead of trying to enter the room, Yi Qi stood outside the door, holding a goblet containing the juice and continued to observe his surroundings.

"What's wrong?"

After a while, Longbottom and the doctor also came with kerosene lamps and rushed over one after another.

Seeing Yi Qi standing in the dark, Longbottom was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the scene in the room clearly, his body instantly began to tense, and his eyes looking at Yi Qi were also full of vigilance.

The doctor ignored this, and slipped sideways into the room between the two of them, and began to check on the governess.

At this moment of tension, the doctor spoke: "Miss Clethorne is fine, she just fainted. ”

Subsequently, the doctor removed a small glass bottle and opened the cap... Put it next to her nose and let the female teacher sniff it.

The bottle appeared to contain an irritating substance, and after the female teacher inhaled it, she began to cough violently and regained consciousness at the same time.

Longbottom stepped forward and hugged the governess: "Vera, Vera! Are you feeling better? ”

The governess looked at the ceiling with blank eyes, and Longbottom looked up in confusion, only to find that as far as the governess could see, there was an iron barb embedded in the ceiling.

The strangest thing is that a large clump of aquatic plants is hung on the barb.

"What's that?"

The doctor looked up and replied casually, "Probably the hook of the chandelier!" Like downstairs, this is a rich man's big house, and as for this clump of water and grass......"

The doctor pondered for a long time, but he couldn't say why, and then left the room on the pretext of taking the medicine box, leaving Yi Qi to look at the barb and be silent.

Aquatic weeds are clearly man-made, but... People are attracted to aquatic plants, but they ignore the existence of barbs.

Don't talk about the strange remarks of hanging chandeliers in the bedroom, let's talk about the guest rooms themselves! The style of the guest rooms is much the same, and Iki is not in his room to see the barbs embedded in the ceiling.

Seeing that Vera still looked like she was not giving up, Yi Qi stepped forward and handed out the juice in her hand.

Vera instinctively wanted to take the glass, but the moment her fingers touched the glass, her body suddenly burst into tremors, and then... The whole person shrank back sharply.

Seeing Vera's expression full of vigilance, Yi Qi smiled disappreciatively, and then tilted her head... Pour the juice down the throat.

Yi Qi's reckless actions directly dispelled Vera's doubts and restored her calm.

On the other side, Longbottom lifted Vera up and asked, "What happened?" ”

"I thought there was someone else in the room." As she spoke, Vera glanced at the aquatic plants out of the corner of her eye.

Yi Qi rubbed his chin while looking at the aquatic weeds: "This clump of aquatic weeds is obviously done by Mr. Owen, but... Just a clump of aquatic grass will not scare a big living person. ”

Immediately, Yi Qi turned to the female teacher: "Did you hallucinate?" ”

Vera was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head, but she didn't say anything.

At this time, the doctor hurried back with a medicine box, took out the medicine bottle, poured out a few tablets and handed them to the female teacher: "A mild tranquilizer that can stabilize your spirits. ”

Unfortunately, Vera didn't pick it up at all, but stared at him with a strange gaze.

This made the doctor confused, and then looked at Yi Qi beside him, but saw Yi Qi spreading his hands innocently.

The doctor looked confused at first, then finally figured out the joint, and angrily put away the pills: "Next time something happens, don't expect me to save you!" ”

Ignoring the doctor's intimidation, the governess asked, "What about the judge?" ”

Everyone was stunned, it stands to reason that... There was a mess here, and there was no reason why the study couldn't hear the movement, but the judge didn't arrive for a long time.

Unlike others, the first thing that Yi Qi thought of was the sixth sentence of the soldier's nursery rhyme - five little soldiers, causing a lawsuit; Plagued by lawsuits until death, only four of the five remained......

……

When everyone rushed to the study, the room... There was already a strong smell of blood.

Despite the dim light in the room, Ichie could see the old judge, who was sitting in a chair... The head tilted up slightly, but a bloody hole appeared in the forehead.

On the bookshelf behind him, there was a large stain of blood.

Seeing the old judge's death, Yi Qi first frowned suspiciously, and when he saw the only three remaining - Longbottom, Vera and the doctor, Yi Qi was directly stunned in place.

Seeing that everyone was not approaching, the doctor came out of the crowd and stepped forward to check on the old judge's condition.

However, everything was in vain, and the doctor just observed it, shook his head helplessly, and then took off his coat and covered the old judge's uproar.

"What are you doing!" Vera screamed.

The doctor glanced coldly at the governess and shouted, "I don't want this old fellow's brain to drain and make the whole villa stink." ”

Vera closed her mouth instantly, and Longbottom on the side... The doctor's behavior is also acquiesced.

After wrapping their coats around the judge's head, they exited the study and closed the door tightly.

It's just that in the dimly lit corridor, none of them noticed that Yi Qi was frowning and contemplating......
