Chapter 21 It all started three years ago

"Mu Zihan, you're not finished! You can't come up with real evidence, and you've been spreading rumors and making trouble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info You say I'm 'Count Butterfly', am I? I also said that I am the Virgin Mary, why don't you come to me to pray and confess? Seeing that everyone in the restaurant was shocked, questioned, or unkind to look at her, Millie was even more restless, and once again became angry at Mu Zihan.

"That's right, Zihan, this can't be nonsense, although I don't know what happened before, but, the 'Count Butterfly' in my impression is a tall man, and listening to his voice, he also looks a little old, how could it be Millie? The main thing is that three years ago, Millie also participated in the play, and she and 'Count Butterfly' appeared in front of us at the same time more than once. At this time, Fei Yiping, who was relatively calm, said after pondering for a while.

"Whether I'm spreading rumors or not, you know best in your own heart." Mu Zihan didn't care about Millie yelling at him, and after speaking coldly, he turned to look at Fei Yiping and added: "That's why I said that she is just the current 'Count Butterfly', not the 'Count Butterfly' you know." ”

Mu Zihan's words made the whole thing feel more mysterious, and everyone except Millie and Liu Wei looked at him with puzzled eyes, hoping that he could give a clear explanation. Even Millie, when she heard Mu Zihan's last words, her expression froze, and she sat down stupidly and stopped talking. However, I can see that among all of them at the moment, she is actually the most uncalm, because her face is changing all the time.

"Well, maybe I should really start at the beginning. Actually, it was the fourth line of this short poem that aroused my suspicions. Mu Zihan once again drew everyone's attention back to the short poem on the note, pointing to the fourth sentence "In the lair of evil ghosts, there is the figure of Judas" and said: "I don't know if you still remember the signature on the invitation?" That's right, it's the 'fallen believers of God', combined with the story of the 'Last Supper', so the 'fallen believers of God' refers to 'Judas' who betrayed Jesus. It can be inferred from this that in this celebration, the 'Count of Butterflies' compared himself to Judas. I think all of you here should agree on this. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Zihan paused slightly, and saw that the rest of the people were either contemplative, or nodding in agreement, before continuing: "So, do you know where the 'devil's lair' is? ”

"The lair of evil ghosts, is it the ghost town of Fengdu? After all, in the legend, it is the ghost country of Kyoto, the underworld. But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the 'Count Butterfly' and this incident. Moreover, that's just a legend after all,......" Fei Yiping replied after thinking about it, but in the end, even he doubted himself, and couldn't help but whisper more and more.

"Don't sell it, say it! Where's this shit's lair? Zhu Quan was about to lose his patience, and he also opened his mouth to urge.

"Sure enough, you don't know, because it's only been spread in the Manor on the other side in the last three years. Siyuan, you say, where is the lair of evil spirits. Mu Zihan said as expected.

"Oh, okay." I didn't expect Mu Zihan to suddenly let me speak, and after sorting out the language a little, he said: "When we checked into the ancient castle, the old butler told us not to go to the forest behind the ancient castle, saying that it was a lair of evil spirits, and a maid died in it three years ago. After that, even the people in the manor did not dare to approach it. However, I don't know if the 'lair of evil spirits' mentioned in the poem is this. ”

"That's right, the 'devil's lair' in the short poem actually refers to the forest. It's just that since you are already old acquaintances, the old housekeeper didn't particularly remind you this time. And Siyuan and I came to the manor for the first time, so in order to prevent us from running around and breaking in, he mentioned it to us instead. After Mu Zihan took my words, he continued: "Now that we know this, then the question arises again, why do you say that 'Judas' is in that forest? ”

"So, at midnight last year, after everyone was sleeping, I quietly went to check out this forest that is called the 'lair of evil spirits'. Then I found that although this forest was barren, it was by no means as the old butler had said, that no one had approached it for three years. Because, I found a well-hidden trail in the weeds, leading to the depths of the forest, and the weeds around the trail also showed signs of recent trampling. So I walked down the path. When Mu Zihan said this, he looked at Millie, whose face had turned pale and panicked, and paused for a moment before he said, "As a result, I found something interesting in the middle of the trail. ”

"Steward Liu, I remember you said that the maid was hanged from a tree in the forest three years ago, right?" When Mu Zihan said this, he suddenly turned to look at Liu Zhen and asked about the case three years ago.

"Yes, yes, that's how the police closed the case at the time, right? Isn't it? Liu Zhenzheng listened attentively, and was suddenly asked, and unconsciously stammered before answering.

"No, I can't say for sure now, but if you are telling the truth, then I am sure of one thing, and that is that for the past three years there have been people paying tribute to the maid under that tree in the forest." Mu Zihan said: "Because, in the middle of the trail, I found that under a big tree, there were traces of burning ingots and candles, and before I went, there were people there to pay respects, probably because of July 15." ”

"What? This...... Could it be you stinky boy! The old housekeeper Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then thought of his son Liu Wei, and stared at him angrily.

"I don't know, but by the time I found this, it was already getting lighter, so I didn't get to the end of the trail so I didn't want to cause trouble, so unfortunately I don't know where the trail leads." Mu Zihan's face became more solemn, and he looked at Millie seriously and said, "However, judging from the current situation, knowing these is enough. If my estimation is correct, the 'Judas' hidden in the 'devil's lair' in the short poem actually refers to this 'maid'. Moreover, the cause of all the cases this time, or your motives, your hatred, stemmed from the death of this maid Hu Feifei. ”

"This, how is this possible? These are two things! I asked.

"Actually, I figured it out completely, and it wasn't long ago, although I knew that the murderer was Millie, but I couldn't guess why she committed the crime before. Finally, tonight, when I saw her eyes, I figured it all out. After Mu Zihan finished answering me, he continued to stare at Millie and said, "Crying with beautiful contacts, your eyes must be very uncomfortable!" So, you can't help but take it off. ”
