Chapter 6: Who are the liars?
"There is one thing that makes me wonder, eldest young master, you followed Miss Xiao to the study, why didn't you leave after Miss Xiao left? What exactly do you want to do if you stay? And where were you hiding at the time? Xu Tian asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I stayed because I was very angry, I was hiding behind a rockery on the east side of the road, and I kept thinking about how to question my father, and I was so angry. But later, when I saw Adjutant Zhao break into the study behind the rockery, I knew that something was wrong, and I slipped away while their attention was in the study. ā
"Mrs. Fang, what did you see lying on the window of the study?"
"I ...... I saw that the old man was dead, but he was not in this position at that time. ā
"What? What kind of death did you see Commander Fang at that time? ā
"Yes...... The old man was with his head up, not down. ā
"Adjutant Zhao, what was Commander Fang's posture when you broke into the study?"
"I should just keep my head down, I can't be mistaken."
"I ...... I can't be mistaken. The old butler said. When I heard Adjutant Zhao's shout, I immediately turned around, and at that time, Adjutant Zhao had not yet approached Commander Fang. ā
"Second Young Master, after Xiao Nannan left the study, has anyone else come in?"
"Probably not! I didn't hear the door open. ā
"Should? You have to be precise about the fact that this word should not be used as a testimony. ā
"Anyway, I didn't hear the sound of opening and closing the door, after Xiao Nannan left, I felt a little unable to support it, so I scurried to the roof, rested for a while before poking my head down again."
"How long have you been resting?"
"It's not a long time, and I can't say the exact time, so it's just the time to boil the kettle!"
"Then, Commander Fang must have been killed during that period, but at that time, Mrs. Fang and the eldest young master were staring at the front door of the study, and the old housekeeper was also a very mobile person, and it was impossible for the murderer to get out of the study." Xu Tian analyzed.
"Mr. Xu, do you have any eyebrows?" Adjutant Zhao asked.
"If it's really as the second young master said, then this case is a perfect closed room murder case, but I don't think there is a perfect crime in this world, as long as it is a man-made crime, there must be loopholes, and this case is no exception."
"So where are you going to start?"
"Of course, starting from the people who have entered the study, I can conclude that these people who have entered the study, someone must be lying, and the second young master may also be lying, let's start according to the testimony of the second young master for the time being, as long as we find out who is lying, it is not difficult to crack this secret room murder case."
"You're talking nonsense." The second young master said. "I'm not lying, as you said, I also know that there must be something wrong with these people who have entered the study, but I definitely didn't lie, although I didn't see who killed Commander Fang, but I can confirm that Commander Fang must have been killed by one of these people."
"The second young master told a lie, if the second young master can't tell everyone about Miss Fang Qingzhu also entering the study, I'm afraid that no matter what the second young master says, I won't believe it anymore." Xu Tian said.
"You...... How do you know my mother has come in too? ā
"Don't have any doubts, you can deduce from the psychology, first of all, when Fang Qingzhu saw Commander Fang's body, he didn't show too much surprise, but in Fang Qingzhu's words later, the hatred of the other commander was expressed very accurately, how could such a person who hated Commander Fang not behave in a special way when he found out that Commander Fang was dead? This shows that Fang Qingzhu already knew that Commander Fang was dead, and Fang Qingzhu had already seen Commander Fang's body, if the Second Young Master said that you told my mother about this, I wouldn't believe it, because when Fang Qingzhu saw Commander Fang for the first time, that kind of steady look would definitely not lie. ā
"You're a detective who is too good at laughing, and you can infer from this that my mother has been to the study? It's just unconvincing. ā
"I really don't have any substantive evidence, but when the second young master expressed it, he had already slipped out, and the second young master wouldn't forget what he said at the beginning, right? I remember that the second young master said all the things that happened to the case, and the second young master also told everyone that he could tell everyone about everyone in the Fang Mansion entering the study, if Fang Qingzhu had not come to the study, then the second young master would definitely tell Fang Qingzhu that he had not come to the study before stating in order to clear Fang Qingzhu's suspicion, but the second young master did not do that, obviously, the second young master did not think of helping his mother hide the fact that he had come to the study at first, and it was not until the second young master began to express that he thought of helping his mother hide it. ā
"It's all your guess, so when did my mother come to the study?"
"There is only one point in time when Fang Qingzhu can come to the study, that is, before the eldest young master, after Adjutant Zhao enters the study for the first time, this is the only time possible."
"What is your basis?"
"It's very simple, after the eldest young master left the study, Mrs. Fang came, but since then, Mrs. Fang has been hiding outside the study, so it is impossible for Fang Qingzhu to come in the time after Mrs. Fang came to the study. If Fang Qingzhu had come to the study after this, Mrs. Fang would definitely have seen it. ā
"Then why isn't it after the eldest young master? Before Mrs. Fang? ā
"Because of the distance, the distance between this study and the backyard is very long, right? Today, the two of you came to the study at the latest, if Fang Qingzhu was after the eldest young master, Mrs. Fang had come to the study before, and the chance of being bumped into by Mrs. Fang when she went back would be very high. ā
The second young master had nothing to say, and at this time, everyone's eyes were looking at Fang Qingzhu.
"It turned out to be you, it was you who killed the master!" Mrs. Fang said with a small mouthful of cherries.
"It's you?" The old lady glared at Fang Qingzhu and said.
"No, it won't! How could it be you! Xiao Nannan said in surprise.
"It's not me!" Fang Qingzhu argued. "I didn't kill him! When I came, the beast was dead. ā
"Impossible!" The eldest young master shouted. "If you had entered the study before me, my father would never have died, because when I came, he was not dead."
"That's right! I also saw Commander Fang walk into my line of sight and hit the eldest young master, which is absolutely true. The second young master said.
"However, when I came, this beast was really dead, just like Mrs. Fang said, with his head up, and when I came, I really only saw the corpse of this beast." Fang Qingzhu argued.
With the sound of the radio as the train entered the station, Xu Tian suddenly woke up from the story, this mystery novel, which has only been serialized for five chapters, has told the story clearly, and the next step is for the reader to crack the answer.
