Chapter 17: The Magical Finale (Part II)
After a few more hours, Zhongli Wan'er heard a knock on the door, at first she thought it was Ouyang Xiu who was back, so she hurriedly opened the door, but found that it was the housekeeper Long Tian, and her high emotions suddenly fell to the bottom, after hearing Long Tian call her because dinner was ready, Zhongli Wan'er realized that it had been so long unconsciously.
Said to Long Tian to wait a while, then went back to the room to sort out her personal belongings, when her eyes moved to Ouyang Xiu's mobile phone, Zhongli Wan'er hesitated slightly, and finally picked up the mobile phone and put it in her pocket, and came to the restaurant with Long Tian, when Zhongli Wan'er saw that Ouyang Xiu was not sitting in her seat, she sighed.
Dinner began like this, perhaps because of the three cases that occurred, no one spoke during the meal, and even Du Ji, who insisted on holding the event, did not ask anyone how the secret progress of the ancient castle was, let alone ask Ouyang Xiu why he did not come to the restaurant, as if everyone knew that Ouyang Xiu did not come.
What's going on with this weirdness?
Zhongli Wan'er put the food on the fork into her mouth, her eyes were aimed at everyone who was eating from time to time, everyone was staring at the food in front of them expressionlessly, eating mechanically, everyone's eating speed was different, but it gave Zhongli Wan'er a feeling: everyone wanted to finish their meal quickly and leave this restaurant.
Affected by this atmosphere, Zhongli Wan'er's dining speed also sped up a lot, when she finished eating, someone had already left the restaurant, she was the third, the first two were Long Tian and Hou Meiqian, Hou Meiqian was the first to finish eating, and said hello to everyone before leaving, as for Long Tian, Zhongli Wan'er felt particularly puzzled, because when he left, he deliberately took away two gnawed bread.
felt that it was not interesting to continue to stay in the restaurant, so Zhongli Wan'er left, and returned to the room, Zhongli Wan'er opened Ouyang Xiu's mobile phone, and swiped a few times on the screen, and the lock screen that had plagued Ning Binglan for a long time was opened, Zhongli Wan'er first flipped through it casually, and found that there were no clues left, Zhongli Wan'er locked the phone again, and threw the phone on the bed angrily, she now less and less understood what the meaning of Ouyang Xiu handing over the phone to herself.
Zhong Li Wan'er was worried for a while, and found that it was useless to worry about it any longer, since Ning Binglan was very confident when she left, Ouyang Xiu didn't come out to stop Ning Binglan, Zhong Li Wan'er felt that it was better to hand over this case to the two of them, and she couldn't do anything by herself, it was better to sleep, and wait until tomorrow when everything was revealed.
Time passed like this, at ten o'clock, Long Tian came to the hall, after confirming that there was no one on the first floor, he closed the door of the passage to the west area of the second floor, took out a key from his pocket, inserted it into the lock hole of the door, and after confirming that the door was closed, Long Tian did not pull out the key, but turned around and came to the gate of the ancient castle, locked the door, and finally walked into the passage to the east area of the second floor, locked the door in the passage, and put the key in his pocket at the same time.
Late at night, there was a commotion in the west area of the castle, the originally closed door was opened, a black shadow slipped directly to the west area on the second floor, identified the direction, the black shadow walked to the door of a room, the black shadow first confirmed whether the door was locked, and the result was expected by the black shadow - the door was locked, the black shadow took out a key from his pocket and inserted it into the lock hole, turned the key, made a click, and the door opened.
The black shadow quietly opened the door, glanced at the room, and found that there was a person lying on the bed, because he was wrapped in a quilt, the black shadow could not identify who that person was, but the black shadow dared to be sure that person was his last target, so he took out a shiny fruit knife from his arms, quickly approached the person, and aimed at the key point and stabbed it directly.
Bite!
The imaginary feeling of the knife stabbing into the body did not happen, but there was a crisp sound of metal colliding in the room, and the black shadow looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, Sun Li's right hand held a telescopic baton, blocking the black shadow's fruit knife, and a smile appeared on his face.
"What? Surprised? Why did Sun Li, who was originally asleep, suddenly get up and block his knife with a baton? It's simple, because I'm not Sun Li. After speaking, Sun Li's left hand stretched out to his face, and he tore it off with a hard pull, and the black shadow was taken aback, because the true face of this person was Ouyang Xiu, who had disappeared for a long time.
"Personally, I'm not used to waiting for rabbits, but this time it's the right one, you've finally had enough." Ouyang Xiu said as he raised the baton in his hand upward, and at the same time attacked the black shadow's hand holding the knife, the black shadow obviously couldn't react, and took a solid blow, and quickly let go of the knife in pain, and kept shaking his hand.
"This is revenge for giving me a stick." Ouyang Xiu pointed to his head and said with a smile, "Okay, murderer, are you going to surrender yourself?" Or will I tell you about your crimes? ”
The black shadow was naturally reluctant to surrender, took out something from his pocket and threw it at Ouyang Xiu's head and turned to run away, just ran to the door, but was stopped by another unexpected person - Ning Binglan, this time, the black shadow finally had nowhere to escape, after all, Ning Binglan pointed a pistol at herself, the black shadow could only obediently obey, slowly walked back to the room, and found that Ouyang Xiu was looking at this scene with a smile, as if he had long known that the black shadow would do this.
"Looks like we can talk about it now." Ouyang Xiu put away his baton, walked to the black shadow and said slowly, "Mr. Murderer...... No, it should be Miss, Hou Meiqian. ”
"What are you talking about? I just think Sun Li is the murderer, so I just want to kill him before I am killed, and besides, don't I have an alibi? Why do you say I'm a murderer? Hou Meiqian defended herself in a little panic.
"Don't you think it's useless to pretend to be stupid?" Ouyang Xiu shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Forget it, since you are so willing to defend yourself, then I will let you lose convincingly, you do have an alibi, but only in one case, that is, you dined in the restaurant when Shen Luo died, right?" ”
"That's right! Do you want to say that I have a doppelganger or something to kill Shen Luo? ”
"There's no need for a doppelganger." Ouyang Xiu was amused by Hou Meiqian's words, "Actually, I was wrong about this case from the beginning, the murderer who committed these three cases was not one person, but two people, if it was two people, the mystery that had not been solved so far would be very clear." ”
"You're trying to say I have accomplices? Ridiculous, in that case, then you can tell me who my accomplice is? ”
"Accomplices? No, no, no! The other murderer isn't your accomplice, am I right? You never expected that another person would help you kill Shen Luo, but this just helped you clear your suspicions, so you didn't squeak. Ouyang Xiu said his reasoning, this result not only surprised Hou Meiqian, but even Ning Binglan who was on the side was also surprised, no one would have thought that the murderers in this case were actually two people, and these two people were not accomplices.
"But how do you explain the first secret room?" This time it was Ning Binglan who asked the question, she had a lot of questions, even if the murderer was two people, the mystery of the secret room had nothing to do with the two murderers at all.
"The Chamber of Secrets? It wasn't a secret room at all, at least not until I entered the scene of the crime. Ouyang Xiu said something that Ning Binglan didn't expect.
"But didn't you say it yourself? And you checked it yourself at that time......" Halfway through speaking, Ning Binglan suddenly remembered something, swallowed the rest of the words back into her stomach, and looked at Ouyang Xiu with wide eyes.
"Finally found out." Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "At that time, I was not alone in inspecting the entire crime scene, there was another person, that was Sun Yu, and it was he who could leave the window of that room during the inspection, and when he was inspecting, he locked the window while I and others were not paying attention, and he was wearing the gloves I gave him, so his fingerprints would not stick at all, and he also wiped off Hou Meiqian's fingerprints that were originally left on the lock, which is why the supervisors reported that there were traces of wiping on the lock at that time." ”
"In addition, at that time, Shen Luo said that Cai Jin was called back to the room by a text message, I am afraid it was sent by Hou Meiqian, and she fled the scene in a hurry after she killed Cai Jin, and did not delete the text message in Cai Jin's mobile phone, when Sun Yu checked Cai Jin's mobile phone, she found that Hou Meiqian was the murderer, and then wiped her ass clean for her, and showed me the text message after it was deleted, so that I mistakenly thought that the murderer deleted the text message."
"So the second case ......"
"It was also done by Sun Yu, there was no alibi at that time, only him and Du Ji, but I thought that at that time, I only considered the possibility that there was only one murderer, so I ruled out Sun Yu, but with this set of ideas, Sun Yu is the most likely to kill Shen Luo, and it is clear who the murderer is."
