Chapter 90: Moonlight Murder (12)

When Watson went downstairs to rescue Sherlock, guilty, the only people left in the room were the dead and gloomy men.

Lin Xi lowered his head and didn't speak, his expression was solemn, according to Sherlock, he was a murderer, and with the murderer, it was inevitable that he would be a little scared, Yan Wu took the initiative to keep his distance and cowered in the corner. Chen Yingjie had a relationship with him after all, heh, they were still a couple an hour ago, but now they are just the difference between ordinary people and murderers.

Chen Yingjie took the initiative to talk to Lin Xi and asked tentatively.

"You killed someone?"

Lin Xi didn't look at her eyes, just lowered her head like that, her expression didn't change, and she was as plain as water.

"Hmm."

He nodded slightly and spit out a word, without the slightest emotion.

"Why?"

Chen Yingjie didn't understand Lin Xi's approach very well.

"Because ......"

Lin Xi finally planned to clarify the facts with his girlfriend, how did he kill people, why did he kill people, and what was his motive? This may be followed by a complete confession.

Luo Nan on the side, her body kept trembling, her eyes were full of horror, she didn't pay any attention to this murderer, but where did the horror come from?

"Ahh

Luo Nan suddenly screamed, attracting everyone's attention to her, and Lin Xi swallowed back the words that he didn't finish, looking at her blankly.

It turned out that Sherlock, who was holding his waist, patted Luo Nan lightly on the shoulder, and in the face of such a frightened Luo Nan, Sherlock just whispered.

"Don't be nervous."

Then he walked up to the corpse again, patted his waist on the waist that had just been in close contact with the ground, and glared at Watson fiercely, and was extremely complaining.

Watson was embarrassed and blamed himself, and he had no choice but to scratch the back of his head in embarrassment, and kept apologizing in his heart, let me go, Sherlock, you know, I'm a fool.

Rubbing his waist, Sherlock's expression slowly returned to normal, and he took out his red rope and showed it to everyone.

"This is the red rope that forms the secret room, the strength of the rope is average, and it was accidentally cut in the gap, causing half of the rope to remain in the room, and I found it."

The fact that the rope is easy to break in the gaps shows that this point is clear, and there is no loophole in this hypothesis.

"As for you, Lin Xi, whether you are the first to find the corpse, whether you faint in front of the corpse, whether you are extremely cowardly, it is all to cover up people's eyes, clear your own charges, and transfer the suspicion of the murderer to others, right!"

Sherlock looked at Watson with a stern expression, suppressing evil without a little tolerance, heroic and compelling, Lin Xi no longer quibbled, confessed to his actions, and nodded blindly.

"That's ...... good."

Sherlock stretched his voice and made the final judgment, Lin Xi's expression lowered his head without change, Chen Yingjie and Yan Wu held their breath a little nervously, and Luo Nan's eyes stared at Sherlock's raised arm that was about to wave down.

"The murderer is not Chen Yingjie!"

Sherlock waved his hand and pointed at Lin Xi. This sudden remark was shocking, leaving the rest of the crowd stunned, and Lin Xi's reaction was what Sherlock was most willing to see.

He raised his head like a spring, confused, his expression was confused, and he looked like he was in a trance, as if he was saying, "Liar, right?"

At this time, Watson's expression was very normal, and he was not frightened, because when he went downstairs just now, Sherlock had already ventilated himself with what he was going to do, and he would not be surprised by what he said now.

"Mr. Xia, what are you talking about! Of course I'm not a murderer!"

Chen Yingjie was respectful to Sherlock, and they all used honorifics, but her tone was very excited.

"Calm down, I mean it to Lin Xi."

Sherlock waved his hand, explained to Chen Yingjie with a smile, and then adjusted his gaze to Lin Xi.

"You can explain why you want to scapegoat for no reason, even though I already know nine times out of ten."

Sherlock said to Lin Xi with ease, making Lin Xi first stunned, and then completely understanding that Sherlock was also acting, not really a lame detective.

"Okay, I'll say it......

Lin Xi was finally about to confess, he took a deep breath, his expression relaxed, sorted out his thoughts and words in his heart, and then began to tell the story.

"That...... Actually, I am not a murderer, I found the body by accident, and the blood sickness is also true, but it didn't take that long to faint to death, and I deliberately didn't wake up when I was conscious, and I woke up after hearing their quarrel."

When Lin Xi said this, she stopped, Chen Yingjie and the others didn't understand it, is there any logic in this? But he stopped, and Sherlock knew that he wanted to help him explain, so Sherlock spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, do you think Chen Yingjie is the murderer, and then decide to take the charge of murder for your girlfriend? As for the reason why you think she's a murderer, I guess, you may have seen something."

Chen Yingjie was stunned, where is this? But Lin Xi nodded, and they reached a consensus.

"That's right, I saw Xiao Ying sneak out once before, and then sneak back, this time is a bit long, and then when I saw the corpse again, I thought that Xiao Ying might be the murderer, and then I found the body, she was a little nervous, and wanted to kill Yan Wu who had a conflict with her again, and the back was what I heard when I was in a fake coma...... Instead of letting her keep killing...... It's better to just kill me and settle this matter. But just when I was about to be killed, Mr. Sherlock came, and I was a little worried, worried that Xiaoying would be exposed, so I wanted to take the charge seriously. It also happens that Mr. Sherlock is the kind of third-rate detective who thinks I'm a murderer and finds that kind of unfounded evidence to slander me, and I think it's also because I'm afraid that I won't find the real murderer and lose my reputation, so I framed me, but it happened that we had the same purpose, so I accepted it...... As long as Xiaoying can ......."

Lin Xi's words were not finished, Sherlock didn't know what kind of sensational words he wanted to use, but the previous confession was not at all different from what he thought, the reason why Sherlock did not directly identify the murderer was also to make the evidence more sufficient, such as the "Chen Yingjie sneaked out" that he just learned, there may be other information hidden.

After Lin Xi finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Chen Yingjie, she was a stingy and selfish person in her heart, and she was indeed not as generous as Jiang Wentai, but everything she did was to stand on her side and stand out for her.

Chen Yingjie was stunned, her values had changed completely, and the man in front of her silently paid the price of her life.

She was quite touched, her expression was complicated, and then she paused for a while, threw herself into Lin Xi's arms, and finally burst into tears.

"Xiaoxi! I'm sorry...... I ......."

Lin Xi hesitated for a while, but still touched Chen Yingjie's head and smiled.

"I don't care."

The image is particularly moving, but Sherlock stops his gaze on the others.
