Chapter Twenty-Six: The Sorrow of the Mermaid, the Manifestation of the Murderer
"Xiaowu......" Wang Xiaomeng woke up faintly, saw Mengwu, and shouted weakly, "Quick!" Hurry up and save Kaoru, if it's too late, Kaoru may ...... It could be killed by a mermaid! ”
As soon as these words came out, Qu Menghan, who was bandaging Wang Xiaomeng's wounds, let go of her hand, and the gauze suddenly fell to the ground, and then she stared at Wang Xiaomeng with an unbelievable look and shouted, "What did you say?!" You repeat! What the hell is wrong with Kaoru-chan! ”
"Kaoru will die!" Wang Xiaomeng shouted at the top of his voice, maybe because he had not fully recovered, the whole person looked groggy and could pass out again at any time, this phenomenon startled Qu Menghan, and quickly patted her shoulder, her eyes were full of inquiry, as if to say where Xiao Xun was.
"Xiao Xun is ......" I don't know whether to read Qu Menghan's eyes or guess what Qu Menghan wants to say, Wang Xiaomeng stretched out his finger and pointed to the mermaid calligraphy and painting hanging in the living room, just said three words, and fainted directly, making Qu Menghan very nervous, and shook Wang Xiaomeng's shoulder, if it weren't for Mengwu and Mo Gang even if they stopped him, I don't know what method Qu Menghan would use to wake up Wang Xiaomeng.
"Kaoru is in danger!" Qu Menghan knew that he was too impatient, took two deep breaths, turned around and walked into the living room, standing in front of Zheng Hanfei, his tone was full of anger, "Can you not be so indifferent!" Go find Kaoru-chan! There's a good chance he'll be killed if he's late! ”
"What?!" Zheng Hanfei raised his head and glanced at Qu Menghan in disbelief, then jumped out of his seat and said to Qu Menghan, "Where is Nan Ruoxun?!" ”
"I don't know." Qu Menghan shook his head, his heart was full of helplessness, "Xiaomeng just wanted to say where it was, but he fell into a coma, and I didn't have any clue about Xiao Xun's clues. ”
"I know!" At this time, Meng Wu walked in and said with a serious face, "Before Xiaomeng fell into a coma, I saw her pointing to the mermaid calligraphy and painting in the living room, that is to say, she and Nan Ruoxun solved the mystery of the poem and set off to find the mermaid treasure, but they were discovered by the murderer, which is why the murderer wanted to kill Xiaomeng." ”
"Mermaid calligraphy?!" Zheng Hanfei and Qu Menghan looked at the calligraphy and painting on the wall in unison, Qu Menghan's heart suddenly sank, after all, there are no clues about the mystery of poetry so far, to let them solve it in such a short time, is it possible?! They don't have time, if they delay here for a minute, Nan Ruoxun will be more dangerous, so to speak, they are now in a race against Nan Ruoxun's life and death.
You can only win, you can't lose!
"I mean, this poem doesn't represent a place here, does it?" Di Luo walked down from the upper floor, looked at the poems on the calligraphy and paintings, and said, "Think about it, when the afterimage sent us this notice letter before, you and the president, and even Inspector Zhou Zheng said that this is a poem, and it doesn't mean anything at all, but when you get here, the village chief Zhongxian said that this poem reveals the burial location of the mermaid's treasure, so I'm wondering, will it represent a place here, you need to look at the map here to get a clue." ”
If Wang Xiaomeng was awake at the moment, he would definitely be surprised, Di Luo and Nan Ruoxun said almost the same, but not as detailed as him, that is to say, what Nan Ruoxun said is not a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, but has a real basis.
Time is pressing, no one doubts that Di Luo's guess is wrong, especially Qu Menghan, if Di Luo says an irrelevant clue at this critical juncture, then she believes that the Sherlock Detective Agency can be completely disbanded, and she and Ouyang Xiu don't need to be the president and vice president.
"Found it!" Meng Wu shouted, immediately spread out the map on the table, suddenly, everyone came up, all eyes stared at the map for a while, and then looked at the mermaid calligraphy, when Meng Wu's eyes noticed the three big characters of "Attack on the Mountain", he immediately understood what was going on, pointed to this place and shouted, "This is it!" It is very likely that the place where Nan Ruoxun and Xiaomeng went before was the attack on Annihilation Mountain, and maybe, the murderer will also be there! ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone present felt a strong wind coming, and then they saw that Zheng Hanfei had long since disappeared, and the open door could tell everyone that someone had just gone out, and then everyone realized that it was not the same thing to be stunned here, so Mo Gang was enlightened and left to take care of Wang Xiaomeng, and the rest of the people left the living room one after another, running towards the attack on the mountain, praying in their hearts that Nan Ruoxun would not have anything happen.
And Zheng Hanfei took a slight look at the leaves on Wang Xiaomeng's body and the mud-stained writing before running out, and roughly deduced that the place where they had stayed, so he arrived one step ahead of everyone, and just saw that the murderer was going to kill Nan Ruoxun, so at the last moment, he blocked the murderer's attack and protected Nan Ruoxun.
……
"Looks like I shouldn't underestimate you!" The murderer smiled and said slowly, "Actually, I should have thought from the beginning, since you are the assistants of the police, but the three policemen Mo Gang, Ling Hua and Liszt obey your arrangement, which shows that you have the ability that they admire, and can make them willingly obey your command." ”
"You're wrong!" Zheng Hanfei corrected, "I'm not a police assistant, but a detective, let me introduce myself again, Zheng Hanfei, a member of the Sherlock Detective Agency." ”
"What?! You...... You're a detective! Or a person from the Sherlock Detective Agency" Although Yuhai Village has a feeling of isolation, but after all, he is in Huaxia, and he naturally knows what the Sherlock Detective Agency represents, at this moment, the murderer feels that he has lost unjustly, and he fights IQ with the people of the Sherlock Detective Agency, which is purely a light in the toilet - looking for death!
At the same time, he was also very depressed, why did the people from the Sherlock Detective Agency come here for no reason, if it weren't for him, his plan would definitely be completed, this can be said to be God's eyes, of course, if the murderer knew that all this was because of the first thief in Huaxia - the afterimage lured them over, I don't know what expression would be on his face.
"To be honest, the secret room method you made is too simple, and because of this, I can roughly understand who the murderer is, and the third case proves that I am not wrong, isn't it, Village Chief Zhongxian?" Zheng Hanfei stared at the murderer in front of him, he was not a mermaid, but a genuine person, the village chief Zhong Xian, who had always been considered kind by the first personality and others, if he followed the first personality, even if all the clues pointed to him, it was impossible to think that it was him, after all, the conclusion that Zhong Xian was the murderer was too ridiculous!
"Oh? So tell me what's wrong with me? Zhong Xian looked at Zheng Hanfei with interest, he didn't refute at all, even if he refutated, it was useless, from the moment Nan Ruoxun was rescued, he couldn't make any rebuttals, holding a kitchen knife stained with Wang Xiaomeng and Nan Ruoxun in his hand could prove everything, he just wanted to know where he let him show his feet?
"Regarding the first secret room, Mengwu has long been unlocked." Zheng Hanfei told Zhong Xian about Mengwu's reasoning, paused, and continued: "As for the second secret room, it's very simple, you used the small ball of the pendulum clock to do all this, and a certain device in the pendulum clock deceived the eyes of all of us, in fact, the small ball did not move upwards, but downwards, of course, at first I thought it was the camera that did the tricks, but after my observation, I found that it was not, but caused by a phenomenon, it has a name, called 'visual error'. ”
Zhong Xian didn't speak, just looked at Zheng Hanfei, as if to say that you don't have to worry about me, just keep talking.
"Truth be told, visual error is a special aesthetic phenomenon, and you can't forgive it as one of your plans to kill!" Zheng Hanfei glared at Zhong Xian coldly and said, "Regarding the device in the pendulum clock, I have already reinstalled it, just in case, I have also made a simple model. ”
"That passage is because the support below is very peculiar, as long as we look in a certain direction, it will make the originally downward ball look the same as upward, so you will tie the line to the small ball of the pendulum clock, and then use the door lock of Yu Haobu's room to complete the secret room, as for you to put the pendulum clock in front of the door, the most important intention is to destroy the key to the technique, so that we think that the mermaid committed the crime, and I think that the pendulum clock was broken in the first place was also caused by you, right?"
"Wonderful reasoning!" Zhong Xian clapped his hands and asked suspiciously, "But what does this have to do with the murderer and me." ”
"It's simple." Zheng Hanfei said, "Since you will use this method, it proves that the murderer has a special understanding of this pendulum clock, and you and Yu Haobu both said that the pendulum clock was broken, and you should have noticed this situation if you took it to repair it, but you didn't say it at the time, so I suspect that you are the murderer." ”
"But it's possible that I forgot to say it." Zhong Xian corrected, "You are talking about this kind of thing, maybe I, the old man, didn't pay attention to it at all, I don't think you should have relied on this to conclude that I was the murderer, right?" ”
