Chapter 15 Determination
In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Xiyun went to An Zhong and An Yi's room, and proposed with him to go to Yin Tianci's room to find clues, and the two readily agreed, saying that if An Luping and the five people did not come back at noon, they would take the rest of the people to look for clues first.
In the cabin lobby, Zhang Xiyun, Qin Heng, and Li Ran sat in yesterday's seats, eating breakfast and discussing what happened in the past two days.
Zhang Xiyun looked around, but he didn't find Ruan Menghe's family, thinking that a person as cautious as Ruan Menghe, after that kind of thing happened yesterday, maybe before the matter was completely resolved, he would not let his family come to the cabin lobby for dinner.
"Brother Zhang, did you listen to what I just said?"
Li Ran's voice came, Zhang Xiyun came back to his senses, and replied slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just thought of something else, and I was distracted for a while, and I didn't listen to what Brother Li was saying." ”
Li Ran smiled helplessly, then looked at Qin Heng and said, "Why don't you see that Brother Huang come out to eat?"
"How do I know that I just live next door to him, but I am not on the same road as him. Qin Heng chewed the bun in his mouth and replied vaguely: "But although he claims to be a casual cultivator, I see that he has an old servant who serves him closely, and he thinks that he is a child of the family, so he should have brought a lot of dry food himself."
"Oh?" Li Ranqi said, "I thought he was really just an ordinary casual cultivator, but I didn't expect him to be a real person." ”
Zhang Xiyun also chatted casually with the two of them, and saw An Zhong, An Yi and Huang Qiansheng coming together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already obtained the key to Yin Tianci's house from Zhao Er, a fellow of the boat company, and I will go now. After An Zhong finished speaking, he took everyone with him.
The room where Yin Tianci lived before his death was in the innermost room on the third floor of the cabin room, and when everyone came here, An Zhong was about to step forward to unlock it, but was stopped by Zhang Xiyun, who felt that something was wrong.
"Brother An Zhong, take a closer look at this lock is open!" Zhang Xiyun said, and then stepped forward and pulled it gently, and the chain that tied the door of the house was taken off by him.
"It's not good, someone is one step ahead of us!" An Zhong reacted instantly, and hurriedly pushed open the door, only to see that the room was messy, as if it had been searched by someone.
Everyone was ugly, and Zhang Xiyun spoke: "The person who stole into Yin Tianci's room, in my opinion, can only come alone, one is the night of Yin Tianci's death and before the masked man appeared yesterday evening, at that time, all of us were still busy deducing the murderer, and the other is that last night, after several seniors left, we went back to our rooms, but someone came here secretly. ”
Zhang Xiyun looked around, and then spoke: "But this also confirms our speculation that the murderer killed Yin Tianci was premeditated, and the reason may be to covet something from Yin Tianci."
"If this is the case, after the murderer killed Yin Tianci, he found that he did not bring anything with him, and he would definitely come to his room to search, which means that at least the night Yin Tianci died, the murderer had already come to this room once"
Zhang Xiyun pondered for a moment, and then continued: "But he must have found nothing!"
Qin Heng was puzzled and asked, "How can you conclude that he didn't find what he wanted?"
"First of all, if he found what he wanted, the masked man would definitely not fight with us yesterday, even if he was discovered, it would be a big deal to run away, but he took the initiative to provoke him, and finally chose to flee again, don't you think it's a little weird?"
"Secondly, I have some doubts now, whether the masked man is a person who is angry in the sky, maybe he is just using the forbidden pill to attract our attention!"
"And he took advantage of this to lure away the five seniors, and his purpose was to protect another companion who was still on the ship, so that he could continue to find what Yin Tianci had hidden!"
Qin Heng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and blinked: "My obedient, how can you have such a long head and think of so many things?"
Zhang Xiyun didn't have time to pay attention to his surprise, and continued: "So, maybe someone came to this room last night, in order to look for that thing."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiyun couldn't help sighing: "Alas, I actually thought of this place last night, if only I had come up first, I wouldn't have collided with the murderer, and I would have saved so much trouble."
An Zhong's face was gloomy, and he hesitated: "If you say something, I hope you don't blame it, in case of accidents, An Yi and I have been taking turns monitoring the four of you yesterday, but no one has left the house at all."
Zhang Xiyun frowned, could it be that no one came last night? Was it because his own deduction was wrong or was the masked man's accomplice very cautious and did not act last night?
He looked at Qin Heng and the three of them, and said secretly in his heart, or was it that the masked man's accomplices were not among the three?
Seeing Zhang Xiyun deep in thought, An Zhong spoke again: "Actually, as long as we can find out Yin Tianci's secret first, we will have the initiative. ”
A thought suddenly flashed in Zhang Xiyun's heart, and he responded: "Yes, since they have gone to such great lengths, presumably what Yin Tianci is hiding is very important to them, maybe we don't need to look for it, as long as we can make the murderer not find it." ”
An Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What do you mean?"
"There are not many people living here on the third floor, let's change rooms with the people who live there, everyone will live here in the future, no matter how powerful the murderer is, he can't escape everyone's surveillance!"
An Zhong nodded and replied, "Yes, before the adults come back, why don't we spy on each other!"
Zhang Xiyun said again: "Yin Tianci's corpse should no longer be placed in the warehouse at the bottom of the ship, it is better to carry it up together and put it in this room, which is also convenient for us to protect." ”
Huang Qiansheng wondered, "Why is this?"
"Brother Huang, think about it, Yin Tianci is an extremely cautious person, if it is something important, he must not worry about putting it in a place that is difficult for him to see, and for him, the easiest place to know that things are safe is on himself. ”
Huang Qiansheng was taken aback and said, "You mean the things are still on him?"
Zhang Xiyun shook his head and replied: "This is not necessarily, I am just guessing, presumably the murderer has already searched Yin Tianci's body, but he did not find what he wanted."
Zhang Xiyun said jokingly: "Unless that thing can be hidden in the body, such as being swallowed by Yin Tianci." ”
Hearing his joke, a hint of surprise flashed imperceptibly in someone's eyes.
Zhang Xiyun said to An Zhong: "Without further ado, let's go separately, on the one hand, we will go to the bottom warehouse to carry Yin Tianci's body, and on the other hand, we will go to exchange rooms with the people living on the third floor, and I will arrange a magic circle outside Yin Tianci's room." ”
Zhang Xiyun said with a smile: "I happen to know a kind of magic circle, which can not only isolate this place after it is laid down, but also leave the breath of the intruder if someone wants to break in." ”
"Okay, I'll trouble you to set up this formation. An Zhong said.
Zhang Xiyun nodded, and said to everyone: "You still need to prepare some materials to arrange the magic circle, so let's go to Zhao Er first to ask for materials, and you will arrange for someone to carry the corpse to change the room first." ”
"I didn't bring anything with me when I got on the boat, and I didn't have anything to go back to get it, so I'll carry the body. Huang Qiansheng said with a smile.
A smile flashed in Zhang Xiyun's eyes, and he said, "Then it's troublesome Brother Huang." ”
