Chapter Ninety-Three: The Red-Eyed 'Ghost God' Reasoning Theater Act I: The Secret of the Red Room II
Standing up, Luo Yifan leaned close to Jiang Xinglong's ear and whispered a question, which was about something unclear in the matter that Jiang Xinglong had narrated just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After listening to Luo Yifan's question, Jiang Xinglong did not answer, but just nodded.
But this is enough, Luo Yifan connected another part of the speculation in his heart, and he felt that this part of the speculation should be the closest to the truth. At the same time, a person who had been hidden among his companions and had not surfaced so far entered Luo Yifan's sight.
We don't care who this person is, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the secret of the disappearance and reappearance of the red room first, so that we can force the murderer into a corner step by step and make him have nothing to hide. (For the incredible magic of the disappearance and reappearance of the Red Room, please refer to the section between Chapters 8 and 14.)
After getting the answer he wanted, Luo Yifan pulled Lu Emmei, he was very tired now, but he must not let Lu Emmei leave his side again, his upper body without clothes to cover him, because of emotional tension and concentration, he did not feel the cold transmitted from the outdoors.
The air outside was unusually cold due to the continuous rain, and it didn't look like early summer at all.
Just in case, the three of them walked to the door of the red room and leaned against the part of the door frame, of course, they had checked the door frame here beforehand to see if there was anything unusual, this is a very normal ordinary door frame.
In this way, Jiang Xinglong, who was facing south, could see all the movement from both sides of the corridor on the second floor, while Luo Yifan, who was facing north, paid attention to Lu Huimei's mood changes while talking, in case she couldn't stand the sudden collapse and any unexpected situation.
And both of them can see any movement from inside the red room, from the living room on the second floor, in the cloakroom, and in the conservatory, that is, the line of sight of the two people in the center of the door frame of the red room takes into account all the spaces in and out of the second floor. That is, to prevent the possible arrival of the murderer in a surprise attack, and at the same time to facilitate their current analysis and observation.
After Luo Yifan let Lu Huimei lean into his arms, he instructed her: "Bury your face in my chest and don't look at the things around you, just leave everything to me." ”
Nodding, Lu Emi lay on the man's chest with peace of mind, now she doesn't want to think about anything, and she doesn't have the ability to think about anything.
It was now completely dark, and although there were no watches or clocks (and strangely enough in the Rows, there was not a single room that resembled a clock or clock) it was probably past supper time.
"First of all, it is certain that when the couple entered the red room on May 2 with Fei Gu Hemina looking for swimming, it was still a normal room, with no bodies and no blood." Luo Yifan said: "At that time, the time should be around 6 to 7 o'clock in the evening. ”
"How can you be sure that they entered this red room at that time, and when we went up to the second floor to look for them, didn't we even see a human figure?" Jiang Xinglong asked, his eyes fixed on the only stairwell entrance in the hallway that led downstairs, and the door to the stairwell on the second floor was open.
And the entrance to the passage where they came up just now, the entire cover was lifted upwards at this moment, and it had been pressed down by them with the weight on the side, and it was unlikely that it was in danger of being locked up.
"It's the bloodstains behind Wei Guigui," Luo Yifan pointed to the corpse on the ground inside the red room and said, "We don't understand why he is desperate to save Emi who has nothing to do with him for the time being, but you look at the bloodstains behind him, the blood on the carpet in this room has turned dark brown because of the long time, and you just said that it has turned dark brown, but the blood left by Wei Guigui is much fresher." ”
"I can see this without you saying this, because the color is different, the lighter gray covers the darker gray, which means that the blood stain on it is fresh. If you look closely at the direction of these fresh blood stains, they extend from the location of the balcony, which means that the seriously injured Wei Precious must have crawled out of the secret passage. ”
But when did he enter the secret passage? When we went up to the second floor to check, we looked at every room, and we didn't find Wei Guigui's figure, the room on the second floor should not have other secret passages from the structural point of view, and the missing Wei Guigui could only be taken away from the secret passage in the red room. ”
When Luo Yifan said this, Jiang Xinglong asked: "So what if Wei Guigui is an accomplice of the murderer?" He deliberately ran away on his own, creating the illusion of disappearance. ”
"Impossible, if Wei Guigui is an accomplice to the murderer, then why did his wife die so miserably? According to Wei Guigui's previous attitude towards his wife, he should be a person who loves his wife very much, which can be seen in every detail, and it is impossible to do every detail of deliberately pretending. ”
Luo Yifan directly denied this possibility, and then continued: "Think about it, when we knocked on the door of the red room, was the interior of the room we saw very messy? ”
"No, I don't know what you and Buhe saw at first glance, but later I saw that everything in the room was very neat and clean like the white room." Jiang Xinglong said with certainty: "I think the neat and clean room means that the bloody scene you saw for the first time before is completely fake?" ”
"It's very likely, and I doubt it. Assuming that the first thing they see is indeed an illusion, the question at stake is: why did they create such an illusion in the first place? How is it made? ”
Luo Yifan's voice was not loud, somewhat hoarse because of fatigue, he continued: "The first question is easy to explain, it may be because it is necessary to cover up the fact that the person who went upstairs first was hidden in a secret passage. Regardless of how the killer used to get them into the secret passage, I suspect that the killer was just using some of the pre-existing mechanisms in the red room, just as he did when he trapped us in the so-called wall phantom clone chamber, and he used the pre-existing mechanism in this room. ”
"I think this murderer, oh no, I should say that these murderers are probably people who are very familiar with Roquehouse, much more familiar than you and Loy."
"In this way, the probability that the drug traffickers I know are the murderers is very high, especially the person who recognized Loy's photo, he is likely to be the person you mentioned, I have heard Loy tell me in the past, although the appearance has completely changed, and there are only a few similar parts in the three appearances, but if our guess is not wrong this time, then it means that those drug traffickers must have assigned him as an internal response, waiting for the opportunity to kill us in this house." Jiang Xinglong said.
Luo Yifan thought for a while, and then said: "It is indeed possible, but I always feel that something is not right, do you think, if the murderers are those drug traffickers, why have they hidden their purpose for so many years, and now they want to jump out and kill people?" And to kill so many people in one go? Luo Yifan frowned, puzzled.
Jiang Xinglong said: "You people came here, in fact, it has nothing to do with the murderer, it was me who discussed with Loy to let you concentrate on the day of May 2nd to go up the mountain, our purpose, you should be very clear now, I can only say that I made a failed plan, and the person I wanted to kill did not succeed, but became a tool used by other murderers." At the moment, he doesn't have any psychological baggage, and he is much more honest.
"No, no, no, it's not like that," Luo Yifan shook his head again and again, his brows furrowed more and more, "It's not that simple, you did lead us up the mountain, but we are all people who don't know about drug trafficking at all!" Doesn't everyone who sells drugs want to know as few people as possible?! What are they killing us for? Killing us exposed themselves, who would do such a stupid thing?! ”
"This ......" Jiang Xinglong didn't know how to answer Luo Yifan's question, so he could only be silent again, but he always observed the surrounding situation very carefully, and he always carried the only self-defense weapon they had at present, the axe from He Mina's hand.
"So I think you've just gathered us together, but what follows should have nothing to do with you, and there's another prisoner, an extremely clever and cunning prisoner, who has planned everything before you, and this prisoner is one of our companions. I can't say for sure which of those people he is, but it's certain that you, me, Loy, Emi, and I'm sure to be excluded. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Yifan raised his head, looked at Wei Guigui's corpse in the room again, and muttered: "To summarize our analysis just now, first of all, the murderer used unknown methods to introduce Wei Guigui and his wife into the secret passage of the red room, and then opened the mechanism in the room to let us see a bloody and terrifying scene, the most likely reason for doing this is to cover up the fact that Wei Guigui and his wife are in the secret passage, they may not have time to close the cover of the secret passage, Or Wei Guigui and his wife were tied to a hidden place on the balcony at that time, so they must not let us step into the room. ”
"The only place on the balcony that can hide people, apart from the transparent glass doors, is behind the small wooden wall on the south side. Let's assume that Wei Guigui and his wife were hiding there at the time, and the murderer may have taken some measures to keep them out of their voices. Luo Yifan said while thinking.
"Since discovering the strangeness of the red room, we have been trapped on the second floor, and finally left through the secret passage of the red room, during this time, Wei Guigui must have been taken away by the murderer from the secret passage here, there is no doubt about it. His wife, Fan Xin'er, I guess was knocked unconscious by the murderer, stayed in this red room while we weren't looking. ”
"The mechanism in the red room, I think it should be on the beams, you see, this is a house with a steeple, that is to say, the roof part is hollow, and the beams on it are much thicker than the beams we usually see, it is possible that there is something hidden on a certain part of the beams like projection equipment, which can change the appearance of the whole house, in this case, the murderer will temporarily use this equipment to change the appearance of the house and scare us away."
"At that time, it was me and Buhe who were the first to knock open the door, and we could be said to have fallen into the room together, so there was no way to react to what was going on in the room at once, I only saw blood in my eyes in a hurry, and I didn't see anything else clearly at all, but Buhe's reaction was much faster than mine, and I was wondering if he was prepared in advance."
"At this point," Jiang Xinglong continued, "Buhe is indeed suspicious, he quickly rushed out of the room and told us to leave, and quickly returned to the room to pull you out, and it was also because of his words that we all panicked. ”
"Moreover, I suspect that the reason why Fan Xin'er's body came to my arms is that Bu He must have nothing to do with it." "His behavior is questionable in many places, but it is impossible for me to know exactly how he stuffed the body into my arms and cut off the head," Luo said. Let's not talk about this for now, but the first thing to do is to find a way to climb up to the roof to see if there is anything like the projection equipment we imagined. ”
"The second thing is this carpet, the blood stains on it are real now, not projected by projection, that is, at least the scene in the red room we saw the second time is real, so there is also the question of how the murderer made this fake scene in a very short period of time, which must have nothing to do with Buhe, because she has been staying with us in the white room."
"Finally, it's the strange corpse, he was already there when I first entered the red room with Buhe, I saw him hanging on the roof of the house very clearly, and the second time I saw him, although he was lying on the ground, he still had a severed rope around his neck, what does he have to do with the events in this house, you have just confirmed, he is not one of the drug traffickers you know, so this is the last strange thing in the red room here." Luo Yifan said.
The two of them had been in the red room for 10 minutes, but their analysis was not over yet, and there was no way to move forward to crack the other secrets without cracking the secrets first.
Now that the killers are very obvious, you don't know if you have noticed them or not, I have brought almost all the possible murderers to the table, and the next question is to find evidence against them and bring them to justice.
