Chapter 10: A Confusing Case
"Tsk, there's no trace, that's a bit tricky." Coming to the outside of the ancient castle, Ouyang Xiu carefully searched the window for clues, but he was very disappointed, this neighborhood was cleaned, so it was exceptionally clean.
What now? Ouyang Xiu scratched his head, the clues were almost all collected, but the most critical clue was that he didn't find it, so that Ouyang Xiu never knew who the murderer was, at this time Ouyang Xiu suddenly found Sun Yu's pale face, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, there was this kind of expression before, which can only show that Sun Yu thought or saw something on the way here to show this expression.
"Sun Yu, you don't have any problems, right?" Out of concern, Ouyang Xiu asked.
"It's fine." Sun Yu shook his head and replied, "I just remembered that I haven't made Xiaomei's mood feel better yet, so I'm a little worried, now that there is a murder, it must be even more difficult to comfort her." ”
"That's right." Hearing Sun Yu's answer, Ouyang Xiu nodded in agreement, the purpose of the two is the same, what Sun Yu is worried about is also what Ouyang Xiu is worried about, but Zhongli Wan'er can be a little better than Hou Meiqian, she can understand herself, but whether Hou Meiqian can understand Sun Yu I don't know, Sun Yu followed him to solve the case in order to find the murderer, from his own point of view, instead of following himself to find the murderer, it is better to accompany Hou Meiqian, and it is better to rely on him alone to find the murderer.
"I'm fine now, where do I go now?" After Ouyang Xiu's reminder, Sun Yu knew that his expression was not good now, so he quickly adjusted his mood, and then asked Ouyang Xiu what to do next.
"Let's go back to the castle first." Ouyang Xiu thought for a while and said, after all, it is useless here, judging from the clues obtained so far, Ouyang Xiu has come to two conclusions, the first point is that except for Sun Yu, the alibi of other people is either none, or very weak, in other words, Sun Yu is not the murderer, and the second point is that the murderer used a method that Ouyang Xiu did not see to set the deceased's room as a secret room, and without solving the mystery of the secret room first, Ouyang Xiu could not carry out the next step of reasoning.
……
"Hey, Cai Jin is dead, do you have any clue?" In the darkness, two black shadows were talking to each other, one of them asking the other in a suppressed voice.
"I don't know, Cai Jin is usually not resented at all, I really can't think of anyone who will kill him." Another dark shadow replied, "Is that the thing?" It's you and me, as well as Cai Jin and Sun Yu, who ...... two years ago"
"Impossible!" The black shadow suddenly roared loudly, denying the conclusion of another black shadow, "Two years ago, there were no witnesses, and besides, we were forced to do so, if we didn't 'solve' that family, we would be the ones who died, and the other person who killed that family was ......"
"Say no more!" Another shadow stopped the shadow from continuing, his tone revealing a hint of fear, "I don't want to talk about that again, you know? To this day I can still dream of the family lying in a pool of blood, it was terrible, and every one of them stared at me with a look full of hatred, and I was awakened from this scene several times, and my conscience was really unbearable! You think it's not the undead of that family who wants to take revenge on us, right? ”
"Nonsense!" The black shadow snorted disdainfully and said, "There can be no undead in this world, Cai Jin should have committed suicide." ”
"But the police said that Cai Jin was killed by him, but his feet were nearly 50 centimeters above the ground, and there was nothing to put feet under his feet, so he killed him!"
"But the place where he hangs is in the middle of the room, right? Behind him is the bed, he first tied the rope, then stood on the bed, put the rope around his neck, it is also possible to jump off the bed, remember, don't tell anyone what happened two years ago, especially the police and that Ouyang Xiu, if they notice it, it will be over. ”
"But...... I always feel like I'm the next one to be killed! ”
"Impossible!" The shadow put his hands on the other shadow and said with wide eyes, "Have you forgotten?" At that time, it was Cai Jin and Sun Yu who put forward this opinion, even if there was really a murderer, the murderer's next target would only be Sun Yu, not you, if you were really scared, you would stay in your room, and you couldn't open the door if anyone called you, just sit back and wait for the end of this trip. ”
"What about you?"
"I'm not afraid." The black shadow patted his chest, and said with some excitement, "I still believe that Cai Jin committed suicide, if there is really an undead, I will beat the undead back to where it should go, that undead is so bold, he dares to pretend to be a ghost in front of me, it is tired and crooked!" ”
……
It was already noon when Ouyang Xiu, Sun Yu, and Ning Binglan returned to the castle, although there was a murder case, Du Ji still insisted on continuing the activity, so when it was lunch time, Ouyang Xiu, Sun Yu and other contestants came to the restaurant on the first floor, Ning Binglan and other policemen were also invited, but Ning Binglan refused because the investigation was not over, this word made the police officers who followed Ning Binglan keep complaining, and couldn't stand the noisy voices of everyone, Ning Binglan invited everyone to eat a good meal as a reward after the case was solved, so that everyone shut up, Immediately, the noise was replaced by loud cheers, and the officers continued their investigation in high spirits.
Is this Officer Ning Binglan? Ouyang Xiu's eyes widened, it was the first time he had seen a police officer with this method of doing things, it was Zhou Zheng, no, the policemen who followed Zhou Zheng were all very hard-working types, and none of them would be like this. The rest is Ling Hua, although Ouyang Xiu has not seen Ling Hua's way of doing things, but according to his character, I am afraid that he will be the type to let his subordinates eat and continue to do it himself.
Come on, Officer Ning Binglan. Silently cheering for Ning Binglan in his heart, Ouyang Xiu walked into the restaurant and sat down in his place, the lunch was delicious, maybe it was because of the murder, everyone was silently chewing the food in their mouths during the meal, there was no topic to discuss, which made Ouyang Xiu a little difficult, and he thought that he could rely on the topic discussion during the meal to find out some valuable clues.
The wordless atmosphere made it a little difficult for Ouyang Xiu to speak, so he could only concentrate on eating the food placed in front of him, thirty minutes passed, Shen Luo was the first to finish eating, and left the restaurant with his head down, followed by Du Ji and Sun Yu leaving the room, but both of them fled the restaurant sweating profusely, and the food in the tableware was not finished at all, so they should be in a hurry to go to the toilet.
As Ouyang Xiu guessed, Du Ji came back in less than five minutes, and after another minute, Sun Yu also returned to his position, eating with an uneasy expression, did he still glance at Hou Meiqian, who was sitting next to him very ladylike eating, almost made Ouyang Xiu squirt out the rice in his mouth, this is obviously Sun Yu racking his brains to figure out how to make Hou Meiqian happy.
Da-da-da-da!
After another ten minutes, a hurried footsteps disrupted everyone's meal, and when Ouyang Xiu heard the reputation, Ouyang Xiu saw Ning Binglan walking into the restaurant with a solemn face, hurriedly looked around the restaurant, and found Ouyang Xiu and hurriedly walked in front of him, whispered a few words in his ear, and the next moment, the spoon in Ouyang Xiu's hand fell directly into the bowl, making a crisp sound.
Shen Luo died, and the body was found on a big tree outside the ancient castle, the murder weapon was a fruit knife, which was stuck straight into her heart, and judging from the results of the investigation, she died within thirty minutes.
How can it be?!
Ouyang Xiu was stunned, this news was too shocking, Ouyang Xiu thought that Ning Binglan was joking with him, but seeing Ning Binglan's solemn expression, Ouyang Xiu really couldn't think that this was a joke, this was true, in just ten minutes, the stupid guy who killed Cai Jin took another person's life, or under Ouyang Xiu's nose.
Who will be the murderer? Ouyang Xiu glanced at the people present, he really didn't understand, except for Sun Yu and Du Ji, the rest of the people had been in the restaurant all the time, and Sun Yu had been judged to be not the murderer in the first case, so the murderer was left Du Ji, but his intuition told Ouyang Xiu that the answer was not so.
What the hell is going on?
Ouyang Xiu was really confused, wasn't the murderer the same person? No, Ouyang Xiu trusted his instincts, there must be some connection between Cai Jin and Shen Luo's deaths. The murderer is not among them, but an outsider? This is possible, and this can explain part of the problem, but the bigger question arises, where are outsiders hiding in this castle? And what was that person's motive? And how do you find that person?
Damn, this case must be solved as soon as possible!
After knowing Shen Luo's death, Ouyang Xiu secretly swore in his heart that he would never let the murderer continue to go unpunished, judging from his experience in solving cases many times, the murderer would continue to erase its target, and Sun Yu would definitely be in the target that the murderer wanted to erase!
