Chapter 162: Analysis of the Case
After Yin Tiancheng and Xuanyang were shocked, they hurriedly led everyone out of the scripture hall to see what was going on at the scene of the crime.
Arriving at the place where Zixuan and the others were killed, Yin Tiancheng's brows suddenly furrowed, he found that the surroundings were crowded with disciples who had come from Wen Xun, and they didn't realize that their reckless behavior was sabotaging the scene.
Yin Tiancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that he was waiting to find the clues left by the murderer, and there was basically no drama.
After identifying the five deceased who were killed, he found that except for Zixuan, the other four were several male disciples of Nangong Yan's gang when he first went to Ganzao Mountain.
He couldn't help gritting his teeth in anger, the murderer dared to openly kill people in Ganzao Mountain, this is tantamount to not taking Feiyumen in his eyes, maybe this guy is a blatant provocation, the purpose is to challenge Yin Tiancheng's authority.
Seeing Cang Songzi holding his daughter's corpse and crying to death, Yin Tiancheng had to restrain his excitement and stepped forward to comfort him softly.
Although Yin Tiancheng didn't have much affection for Zixuan and the other deceased, they were disciples of the Flying Feather Sect after all, and he had the responsibility to find out the real culprits and avenge these unjustly killed disciples.
So he settled down and asked Xuanyang to drive the irrelevant people away from the scene, while he carefully surveyed the scene, but the final result was as he had thought before, the reckless disciples destroyed the entire scene, so that he could not find any useful clues.
But Yin Tiancheng still saw some clues, these dead disciples were killed by the murderers one by one in an extremely short period of time, so that they didn't even have a chance to escape.
What's even more surprising is that their death method is the same as that of Uncle Ge Ye, indicating that the murderer is the same person, Yin Tiancheng thought that he had guessed the murderer's motive for killing Uncle Ge Ye, but now he found out that he couldn't guess the murderer's motive for killing Zixuan and others.
This is really a strange thing, on the surface, the murderer threw several of the dead of the Three Holy Gates into the valley, and there was an obvious motive to hide the corpses, because he did not want others to find out about the murder process.
But killing Zixuan and the others is tantamount to making things bigger, isn't it a contradiction between the two?
Yin Tiancheng fell into a deep confusion, and he began to reconsider the murderer's motive for killing.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Didn't I arrange for Zixuan to sort out the ancient books of her predecessors in the scripture hall, why did she leave her post and come here without permission?"
"I'm sorry Uncle Tai, it's all my fault. Xuanyang replied in a whisper, and then said to Yin Tiancheng: "Zixuan is playful by nature, she must have been bored in the scripture hall, so she asked a few disciples to sneak out to play, but unfortunately met the murderer on the way and lost her life." ”
In fact, Xuanyang didn't say it, Yin Tiancheng also thought of this, he just wondered whether the murderer killed Zixuan and others on a temporary basis, or because of other reasons.
Watching Xuanyang arrange for his disciples to carry the corpse past him, Yin Tiancheng's fists clenched involuntarily.
At this time, Cang Songzi came over and emotionally begged Yin Tiancheng to find the murderer to avenge his daughter, and Yin Tiancheng agreed to it without thinking about it.
Everyone thought that this was Yin Tiancheng comforting Cang Songzi, after all, it was a great tragedy in life for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, and no one wanted this old man to be deeply saddened and unable to extricate himself.
Unexpectedly, Yin Tiancheng said unexpectedly: "Master and nephew, please rest assured, within ten days, I will find out the real culprit and avenge the dead disciples." ”
The crowd was shocked, not knowing whether what he said was true or not.
Xuanyang was busy behind him and whispered: "Uncle Tai, is this possible? Don't boast about going to Haikou to comfort Uncle Tai, if you can't catch the murderer then, it will damage your prestige." ”
"Don't worry, I won't promise anything that I'm not sure about. Yin Tiancheng nodded confidently, his gaze becoming resolute.
Cang Songzi was a little relieved, and accompanied by Xuanyang, he went back to Feiyumen Zhang Luo's daughter's funeral.
Yin Tianchang let out a sigh of relief, and when he was thinking about it just now, he suddenly figured out one thing, that is, the murderer must be hiding in the Flying Feather Gate, not an outsider.
Xuanyang said that since Yue Jinshan led the team to attack Ganzao Mountain, this head has learned a lesson, and now whether it is the Transmission Hall, or all the roads in front of and behind the mountain, he has strengthened the vigilance, and he wants to ensure that the tragedy will not be repeated.
In other words, it is impossible for a disciple in the sect to go down the mountain without permission, or for outsiders to sneak up the mountain, for a long time to hide from the eyes of the disciples who patrol the road.
Even if the other party is an extremely advanced person with extremely advanced spells, if he wants to break into the Flying Feather Gate without permission, his only choice is to kill.
But before the murder, except for the brother and uncle of the Three Holy Gates, who brought people to visit, there was no other abnormal movement, and now the brother and uncle night and others are dead, which can only show that the murderer is an insider of his own sect.
After figuring this out, Yin Tiancheng had the confidence to promise Hua Yangzi, and at this moment he had realized that if he could find the initial location of his brother's murder at night, he might be able to find valuable clues from it, and at that time, the identity of the murderer would be difficult to hide.
Now a plan is born in Yin Tiancheng's mind, and next, he will implement it quietly.
In the following days, Yin Tiancheng spent most of his time in the mourning hall, except for receiving the relatives of the deceased who came to the funeral and the heads of the family who came from all over the country, he was to accompany the family members to take care of the funeral, and he had little time to rest.
After the first seven days, when the murdered disciples were buried in peace, Yin Tiancheng said goodbye to the families of the deceased one by one with a sad expression and sent them down the mountain, and then he said to everyone with a tired face that he had gone back to his room to rest.
Seeing that he had almost lost weight after being busy these days, the disciples were deeply moved, and they were glad that they had met a loving uncle, so no one bothered him, and everyone hoped that Yin Tiancheng could have a good night's rest.
No one thought that Yin Tiancheng didn't sleep at all, but quietly called Xuanyang, Cang Songzi, and several high-ranking disciples to his room and held a closed-door meeting.
Everyone didn't know Yin Tiancheng's intentions, and they were all silent, waiting for him to be the first to say what he thought.
Yin Tiancheng looked at everyone and said lightly: "Cang Songzi, I promised you to catch the murderer within ten days, and now there are a few days left before the stipulated deadline?"
Cang Songzi endured his grief and said, "Uncle Shi, there are still three days. ”
"Oh, three days. Yin Tiancheng was silent, and after drinking a cup of tea, he suddenly said: "If it is not my expectation, the murderer should take the initiative to reveal his identity within three days." ”
"Uncle Taishi, you're not joking, are you?" Xuanyang was taken aback, and the others also showed confusion in their eyes.
These days, Yin Tiancheng has been in the mourning hall except for occasionally going back to the room to rest for a few hours, and everyone has not seen him give any orders to arrest the murderer, but now he said that the murderer will take the initiative to appear, how is this possible!
Unless the murderer is a fool, everyone knows that with the ferocity and cunning that the murderer showed when he committed the crime, he must be a smart guy, and he will never be stupid enough to fall into the net.
Just when everyone was puzzled and didn't know what kind of medicine Yin Tiancheng was selling in his gourd, they saw him smile faintly and asked Xuanyang, "What has Huang Dalei been doing recently?"
"There's no movement, he's been cultivating, and he basically hasn't come out and walked around. Xuanyang told the truth: "But the apprentice grandson heard that Huang Dalei seems to have a lot of complaints about Uncle Taishi. ”
"What does he complain about me?" Yin Tiancheng was not angry at all after hearing this, but there was a gleam in his eyes.
"When he came out of the confinement room, he asked to come to the mourning hall to pay homage to the dead. This was a reasonable thing, but Uncle Tai refused, so he felt that your old man was not close to people. ”
"Hehe, do you think I'm hard-hearted too?"
"Not really, but ...... Personally, I think Uncle Tai's approach seems to be inappropriate, and it is easy to arouse the criticism of others. ”
The words were a little subtle, but everyone else understood, and just when everyone thought that Yin Tiancheng would explain the reason, Yin Tiancheng suddenly diverted the topic and asked, "Xuanyang, did you listen to the little guy surnamed Wang about these things?"
"How do you know?" was surprised, Xuanyang understood, and said in a lost voice: "My apprentice is born with a big mouth, the last time he met Nangong Yan halfway, he can forget your advice, and he will naturally chew his tongue even more in other things, how can he control his mouth!"
"Yes, his problem is too prominent, so after I rejected Huang Dalei's request, I asked you to arrange for this disciple to live in the same room with Huang Dalei. ”
"It turns out that Uncle Tai did it on purpose!" Xuanyang suddenly realized, and then said the doubts in his heart: "You know the shortcomings of my apprentice, why do you still do this?"
Yin Tiancheng laughed and said, "Have you ever thought that the little guy surnamed Wang can tell us Huang Dalei's attitude, so is it possible for him to tell Huang Dalei about the discovery of Uncle Ye's body?"
"Definitely, he's a person who can hide secrets!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyang seemed to realize something, and his body trembled slightly.
Cang Songzi and the others were even more shocked, and only then did they learn the news of the murder of the Three Holy Gate Star Sect from Yin Tiancheng's mouth.
Yin Tiancheng was calm, he first asked Xuanyang to tell everyone in detail about the murder of his brother at night, and then asked, "Everyone, you should have some clue about the identity of the murderer now, right?"
No one was silent, they were all stunned, guessing that Yin Tiancheng thought in his heart that Huang Dalei was the murderer.
After a long time, Cang Songzi came to his senses, and forcibly suppressed his excitement and asked: "Huang Dalei is loyal and honest, except for getting drunk and making a little mess a few days ago, there are no other bad deeds at all." Uncle Shi, do you have a prejudice against him?"
"Sometimes, the more unlikely a person is, the more likely he is to be a murderer. ”
After saying this, Yin Tiancheng's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Senior nephew, why did I set a deadline of ten days, it was because I wanted to find the first scene of my uncle's murder during this time. Fortunately, God did not hide the traitor, and I finally found it. ”
"I understand the truth here, and if you find the first scene, you will definitely be able to find important clues. Cang Songzi nodded, and immediately said suspiciously: "But everyone saw that Uncle Shi has been guarding the mourning hall to help me take care of the aftermath, and I didn't see you arrange for others to look for the scene, how can you have the ability to find the scene of the crime?"
"Didn't I go back and sleep a few times? Do you really think I'm resting?"
Everyone was taken aback, and then everyone said distressedly: "Uncle Tai, you haven't closed your eyes for seven days, be careful that your body is tired." ”
"Hmph, if this traitor is not removed, my Feiyumen will be controlled by others, how can I fly Huang Tengda in the future!" Yin Tiancheng took out a thing from his arms with a hint of anger and showed it to everyone.
It was an ordinary wooden bead that looked unremarkable, but everyone recognized it as one of a string of bracelets after taking a closer look.
"This is the physical evidence I found at the scene of the crime!" Yin Tiancheng said: "I asked the disciple surnamed Wang privately, and although he couldn't recognize the origin of the beads, he also told me that it was very similar to the bracelet that Huang Dalei wore every day." It's just that after he lived with Huang Dalei, he hadn't seen this guy wear it. ”
Cang Songzi gasped and asked in surprise, "Do you think Huang Dalei found the beads left at the scene, so he hid the whole bracelet?"
"Hehe, if one of the beads is forcibly torn off, won't the whole bracelet fall apart? Do you think he will wait until the fact to find out about this fatal mistake?"
Cang Songzi blushed suddenly, and it was only then that he had a clear impression in his mind.
At that time, the murderer and his uncle must have ripped off the bead bracelet on their wrists when they were fighting with his brother and uncle at night, causing the beads strung on the rope to scatter all over the ground.
Due to the urgency of time, when the murderer picked up the lost beads in a panic, he did not have time to check whether there was any omission, and then dragged the body to the edge of the cliff and threw it into the valley in a panic.
Maybe he also wanted to go to the valley to bury the corpse and hide the evidence of the crime, but it just so happened that there was a disciple at the bottom of the valley who was collecting medicine, and he would naturally panic and scream when he saw the fallen corpse, which attracted the attention of Yin Tiancheng, who was riding a horse in the air, looking for Uncle Ge Ye and others.
At this time, the murderer did not dare to enter the valley to do any more criminal deeds even if he had a hundred courages, so he could only choose to escape secretly.
At this time, Yin Tiancheng stood up, took out the topographic map of Ganzao Mountain, and motioned for everyone to come forward and watch.
He first marked the first scene of his uncle's murder at night, and then pointed to the location of the valley with his finger, and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, what do you see?"
Xuanyang suddenly lost his voice and shouted: "The place where Zixuan and the other disciples were killed is on the way from the scene of the crime to the valley!"
Everyone looked at each other, and Cang Songzi couldn't help but twitch, now no one suspected that the murderer of Uncle Ye and Zixuan was not the same person.
The case became clear, after the murderer threw the body, he found that Yin Tiancheng had rushed over and ran towards the bottom of the valley, he was frightened to turn around and flee, but he didn't know that he met Zixuan and others who ran out to play on the way.
The over-panicked murderer thought that Zi Xuan had discovered his criminal deeds, so he simply didn't do anything, and then took the means of killing people to kill people!
"Huang Da Lei, this brute, Lao Tzu is going to break your body into ten thousand pieces!" Cang Songzi was furious, turned around and ran out of the house, ready to kill Huang Dalei to avenge his daughter.
