The light swept through the air as if frozen, and the stiff sound of leather shoes hitting the ground was like a grim reaper.

Xiao Lin trembled, her teeth chattering. As the light swept by, she suddenly noticed that there was a girl on the other side hugging her, shaking like her. Their fears were so similar that she thought there was a mirror on the other side and that the girl across from her was herself.

Suddenly, the light froze on the face of the girl opposite, and she recognized the girl as Tang Qiaoyi.

Tang Qiaoyi let out a heart-rending scream: "Don't come here!" Stay back! ”

Xiao Lin didn't dare to come out, and watched a huge black shadow coming.

"No, don't! Help me! ”

The girl burst into tears but was paralyzed under her feet, and tripped over herself as soon as she ran away. Xiao Lin smelled a smell of urine, and saw that the girl's body was wet, and a huge storm of fear swept the entire space with the girl as the center, and only one person's sorrowful scream echoed in the dead silence.

Even though she knew that the girl was about to die tragically, Xiao Lin was full of thoughts at the moment and hoped that the other party would not reveal her position before she died.

"Flutter!"

The sharp blade pierced the girl's body, but the murderer did not immediately cut off this fragile life, so that the screams continued to echo for almost a minute, and every second made Xiao Lin live like a year.

When he was done, the murderer stood up, shone his flashlight again, and walked forward after finding nothing.

“…… It only later occurred to me," said Xiao Lin, "that the light was shining on her, so she didn't see me at all, and I was so focused on my own life that I prayed in my heart that she wouldn't confess me......"

After speaking, Xiao Lin cried.

I hugged her and comforted: "This is also a helpless thing, whoever else will choose like this......"

"Wait, the story isn't over yet, and then what? Where did he go? Lu Feng suddenly became a little impatient.

Xiao Lin sighed: "I don't know." I hid in the dark, I don't know how long, and then you showed up. ”

Other words...... He's still here?

I nervously stood up and looked around, the darkness rushing into my eyes like a tidal wave, and I couldn't see a single light.

"You said he fired four more shots at the end, right?" Lu Feng asked suddenly.

"I'm not sure, maybe four or five shots......"

"Think about it, is it four or five?"

I couldn't help but interrupt, "Does this matter?" ”

"Of course it's important," Lu Feng said, "I don't know if you have noticed that Zhao Yinxiang's Type 54 pistol, which has a theoretical loading capacity of up to 8 rounds, fired one shot at the school wounded me, one shot at breaking the window, and then two shots at the murderer." In other words, if you have more than four shots at the end, you can conclude that it is not the guy's gun. ”

I see, I didn't expect Lu Feng to even notice this detail! I nodded.

But what's the point? Maybe he has other bullets? Xiao Jiu said, "Besides, many people have witnessed him doing it, right?" ”

"No, you're mistaken, I'm not discussing with you whether he is Zhao Yinxiang or not, but whether the gun is his," Lu Feng raised his glasses, "He is dead at the end of the school, there is no doubt about it." ”

"Wait, I see what you mean, but could it be that guy happened to have escaped a fatal wound while he was at school? Because even Xiao Lin said that she saw that guy? I said.

Lu Feng suddenly approached Xiao Lin: "Did you really see that guy's face, without any covering, did you see it face to face?" ”

Xiao Lin lowered her head and thought about it, and muttered, "There is no ......"

I was surprised: "But you just said with certainty that you saw the murderer?" ”

Lu Feng said: "It's no wonder to her, because the murderer cleverly set up a psychological fence, which affected their cognition and judgment from the beginning." ”

"Mental fence?"

"That's right, it's a psychological misdirection often used in magic to confine one's vision to a very small extent and make him ignore other possibilities."

Lu Feng asked Xiao Lin again: "When did you realize that the murderer was Zhao Yinxiang?" ”

Xiao Lin said without thinking: "Of course it's when I saw him." ”

"Think about it again, before that, did you know that the murderer was him?"

I suddenly realized: "Before that, Tang Qiaoyi said that he was a murderer!" ”

"That's right," Lu Feng said, "I wonder why the murderer didn't kill her at the time, and then killed her later?" That's to leave a living mouth to tell us that the murderer is Zhao Yinxiang! ”

I see, that's what the murderer was for. The environment was dim at the time, and the victim was extremely panicked, and the murderer dressed as someone else easily convinced her of the illusion she had set up.

"There is another thing that even the murderer did not expect," Lu Feng said, "and the fact that he used a Type 54 pistol was discovered by the dogs." And this happened to strengthen the impression that 'the murderer is Zhao Yinxiang'. Therefore, the judgment that seems to be made by free will is actually led by the nose by the murderer from the beginning. ”

"So, why does the murderer have to pretend to be Zhao Yinxiang?" Xiao Jiu asked.

"To disguise his identity, of course. If I'm not mistaken, the killer is a man we know, someone who has lived with us in the same breath - suspect 'X'. ”

…… Someone who knows, and someone who knows what Zhao Yinxiang looks like.

I immediately typed out a list of survivors in my mind - this list has 6 people, except for the last two gunshots Xiao Lin heard and the casualties are unknown, the survivors are: Su Yalun, Song Lili, Gouzi, Lin Yu, Fang Bin and ...... Xiao Lin.

In other words, Suspect X is hiding among these people. Who will it be? Could it be Fang Bin?

That's right, alibi! Aren't people who don't have an alibi the most suspected of murder?

I thought about it, this murder can be roughly divided into three scenes:

The first scene was in the bathroom, and except for the victim Tang Qiaoyi, no one had an alibi at the time of the crime, because the murderer was likely to blend into the crowd after the murder.

Immediately followed by the second gunshot, Xiao Lin followed Su Aaron to the second scene by mistake, and witnessed the whole process, which means that the murderer could not be among the witnesses at that time......

Slowly, let's say, the murderer ran to the second scene immediately after killing the first person, which is more reasonable. So aren't the people who weren't at the first scene at the time very suspicious?

So I asked, "Xiao Lin, do you remember who didn't arrive at the scene after hearing the gunshots for the first time, or who left halfway?" ”

Xiao Lin shook her head, indicating that she had no impression, because all her attention at that time was attracted by the corpse. I carefully recalled what Xiao Lin said just now, and I had the impression that Fang Bin and Su Yalun had been arguing all along, which means that neither of them had the opportunity to go to the second scene, so it can be ruled out, right?

Then came the dog...... He found the bullet at the first scene, followed by a second gunshot, indicating that he did not have enough time to go to the second scene......

Then the rest of the people are, Lin Yu and Song Lili!

Slowly, when the second gunshot came, Su Yalun told Song Lili to protect the girls, and also told Lin Yu to stay and protect them...... That is, they are also on the scene!

Damn, who the hell is that? I felt like a mess in my head.

"Do you remember who wasn't there when you got back to the furniture store?" I then asked. The furniture store was the third scene of the incident.

Xiao Lin replied quickly: "Well, everyone is here!" ”

I was surprised, "Why are you so sure?" There were a lot of people there, right? ”

Xiao Lin nodded: "Because at that time, Su Yalun counted the number of people for the sake of insurance, and everyone was on the scene except for those who had already sacrificed." ”

At this time, Lu Feng spoke: "Of course everyone is here, because the murderer has enough time to return to the furniture store." But what about after that? You've all gone out to search for the killer, and when you come back, are all of you still there? ”

Xiao Lin thought about it again: "After that, I didn't count the number of people, and I really didn't have an impression, because as soon as Fang Bin came back, he quarreled with Su Yalun, and there was no way to pay attention to other people......"

"Lu Feng, do you mean that the murderer has been confusing his ears and eyes in the furniture store all the time, and then using the gap between going out to hide himself? But how did he know that everyone was going out? If everyone sticks to it, won't there be no chance? ”

"And who suggested going out?" He asked.

I suddenly gasped: "Fang Bin! Wait, he has an alibi! ”

"It's certainly hard to explain if there was only one murderer, but what if there were two suspects and X and Y worked together to create the incident?"

That's right, it was Fang Bin who proposed to go out to find the murderer. No one could be found anywhere at that time, because the murderer was simply in the crowd. When he came back, the guy deliberately found fault again, so that others didn't realize that someone had disappeared.

"Do you see what I mean?" Lu Feng said.

I nodded. Damn, this scumbag! How could I leave such a dangerous person here!

"By the way, the top priority is to find other people first, and I want to make sure everyone's safety first."

Looking around, it was so dark that it was unspeakably dark, and without candle lighting, it was a godsend killing place. I felt like I could smell the killer's breath at any moment, and a sharp cold ran across my neck at any moment.

"Xiao Lin, do you have any impression of which direction the others are fleeing......

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening gunshot sounded in his ears, and everyone reflexively shrank their heads. The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the space, making people dizzy.

I looked at Lu Feng, his expression was more incredible than surprised—because there should be none of the 8 bullets left. I raised my flashlight and ran quickly in the direction of the gunshot, my hand holding the saber feeling slightly wet.

Another gunshot rang out, and the entire space seemed to shake. I felt that the edifice of reasoning had created a serious crack somewhere, and this crack was slowly tearing open......

Soon, I saw a glimmer of light coming from the depths, coming from a room. So he slowed down and paced forward cautiously, when suddenly there was a sense of sluggishness under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a corpse.

A familiar face lying on its back in the flashlight, it's a dog! Blood spread from beneath him, and he was stabbed in the chest, limbs, and head, as if he had experienced a vicious battle.

Damn it!! Why him!? I tried to suppress the sadness and despair in my heart and kept going. Several more corpses appeared in the light, all of them seemed to be the original survivors of the mall, but I had no time to pay attention to them, because then I heard voices in the room:

“…… Hmph, it's hard to kill him, and if he hadn't threatened him with this mother-in-law, he wouldn't have handed over his gun. One or two can't get along with me, and my fingers are painful......"

Another voice muttered, "Turn off the lights, let's get out of ......."

I couldn't hear the rest of the conversation at all, and I didn't even think that the two voices were suspects X and Y, I only heard a thumping heartbeat in my chest, and I had a terrible premonition like darkness invaded my whole body, and I pushed the door open in spite of the danger, hoping that what I saw behind the door was not what I had a premonition.

The door was still open.

Fang Bin stood in candlelight with a teenager holding a gun in his hand. At their feet were two corpses, a man and a woman, each of whom had been shot in the head, and the fingers of the woman's right hand had even been cut off by Qi Gen, and the bloody jade fingers lay on the ground.

I recognize them! That's right, I recognized them! I fell to the brink of despair and drifted away......
