Study room on the third floor!

Mr. Qin's body had already been carried out by the housekeeper and Zhang Feiyu and temporarily placed in the bedroom.

The study room is not small, with hundreds of square meters.

At this moment, Su Le was searching for some useful information in the study.

He opened the first drawer and found several newspapers inside, all yellowed.

"There were multiple homicide cases in L City, and the Ping An Department judged that the murderer in many cases was the same person"

Picking up the newspaper and seeing the content on the headline of the first newspaper, Su Le's pupils shrank slightly.

City L is the city where they are now.

According to the newspaper report, 25 years ago, there was a serial murder case in L City, and after the murderer killed, he would cut off a part of the victim's body, and by the time the news was released, there were already six victims.

"This newspaper should be Mr. Qin's desire to find inspiration for his book, Mr. Qin has a novel, isn't it a serial murder case?"

When Su Le read the contents of the newspaper, Lu Jiaojiao also stood on the side, and after reading the content, she said her thoughts.

"Newspapers simply report such a piece of news, and if you are looking for inspiration, you shouldn't be looking for it."

Putting down the newspaper, Su Le glanced at Lu Jiaojiao, if this newspaper recorded in detail the murder methods and the crime process of the murderer of this serial murder case, then it could be regarded as finding inspiration.

There are no details of the case, and the murderer has not been caught, what inspiration can it provide?

Lu Jiaojiao was a little unable to pull down when Su Le said this, and said coldly: "You are not Mr. Qin, what if Mr. Qin has such a ability, he is a world-renowned novelist." ”

[How can there be such a stupid woman who can still be an executive in a company, forget it, don't argue with a brainless woman, you stand up and decide to go to the other place in the study to find clues. 】

Su Le stood silently, walked to the bookshelf, looked at the dazzling array of books on the shelf, and took them down one by one to flip through them, wanting to see if he could find any useful clues.

Lu Jiaojiao saw that Su Le didn't respond to her anymore, so she snorted and searched in the study, but what she searched for was the carpet and lifted the carpet directly.

When Su Le saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, did this woman watch too much TV? Think there is a dark compartment in this study?

"Wow, Sister Lu, what are you doing...... Hey, what is it? ”

Mao Zhihui just walked in with a notebook in his hand, and when he saw Lu Jiaojiao's actions, he was first surprised, and then his eyes fell on a place under the carpet.

"Haha, I knew there was going to be something down here, my instincts were right."

A woman's intuition?

Su Le didn't know what to say, Lu Jiaojiao took out an envelope from under the carpet and shouted, "I found something very important, everyone come quickly." ”

With such a shout, all the other people who were not in the study walked in, and everyone stared at the envelope in Lu Jiaojiao's hand.

Lu Jiaojiao enjoyed this kind of attention very much, took out the stationery in the envelope in front of everyone, and read it directly.

【Mr. Qin:】

【Hello! 】

[We would like to report to you the results of the investigation you have entrusted to us, and in accordance with your request, we have checked the documents of the archives of the Ping An Administration, regarding the circumstances of the serial murder case 25 years ago. 】

[According to the archives, in the 25-year serial murder case that occurred in L City, the murderer killed six people in half a year, and there will be a victim every month, and the murderer will cut off a certain part of the victim's body after the killing, which caused great panic at the time, and the Ping An Department has not been able to solve the case. 】

[Three months after the death of the sixth victim, the Ping An Department received a report that there had been a homicide. 】

[After the director of the Peace Department arrived at the destination, he found two deceased, one was a woman from a nearby township, the other was the owner of Junde Castle, and there were eight students at the scene, and it was the eight students who reported the crime. 】

[According to the eight students, they came to the castle to go on a walk, and they happened to see the castle owner preparing to throw the corpse, and the castle owner found out that the matter was exposed, and wanted to hunt them down, and they were killed by their joint efforts. 】

[The Peace Department investigated the scene and finally came to the conclusion that the owner of the castle was the murderer of the serial murder case, and the eight students met the murderer and resisted when they were chased by the murderer. 】

[In the envelope are also the confessions of the eight students by the Ping An Bureau, the investigation records of the teachers and neighbors of the eight students, and some evidence from the scene. 】

This concludes the contents of the letter.

"Gone?"

"No, it's just this letter, nothing else."

Lu Jiaojiao shook the mouth of the envelope downward, indicating that the envelope was already empty.

[When you saw this letter, you suddenly felt a little familiar, did you think of something? 】

Somewhat familiar?

Looking at the text prompt, Su Le thought about it carefully, and the next moment, his eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but he was preempted.

"I see!"

Mao Zhihui looked very excited, and said to everyone: "Do you remember the content of that nursery rhyme?" ”

"One, two, three...... Eight children, hand in hand to solve the case, isn't the content of the nursery rhyme the content of the envelope? ”

"That's right, I listened to it last night, and that's it." Liao Huiying also echoed.

"If that's the case, then I see."

Mao Zhihui suddenly realized, and said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, the dolls in our room are the eight students who refer to, and the ghosts in the castle are the murderer of the serial murder, that is, the former owner of the castle." ”

"The previous owner of the castle was killed by these eight students, and the reason why there are dolls in the castle is because this doll is made based on those eight students, and its function is to deter the ghosts of the former owner of the castle who are still in the castle."

"Is there any evidence for your guess? How many dolls will ghosts be afraid of? Zhang Feiyu asked.

"Yes."

Mao Zhihui raised the notebook in his hand and explained: "This is a notebook I found in the servant's room, and the servant described in the notebook that the previous owner of the castle had no direct descendants, but there was a nephew who inherited the castle, but he ran away after a few days, because there were ghosts and monsters in the castle, and his wife and children died." ”

"Later, the nephew of the former owner of the castle sold the castle to a merchant, and when the merchant learned about the castle, the merchant made eight dolls and put them in the castle, and no one has been killed by ghosts in the castle since."

"I have asked the steward, and the servant has been in the castle the longest, as the steward can testify."

"Mr. Mao's guess should be right, since the old man bought the castle, he specially explained that he wanted to put the doll away."

As soon as the housekeeper's words came out, the faces of everyone at the scene changed.

"Actually, I had a bad feeling just after reading the notes, but I thought the doll was too noisy last night and tore it off."

"I ...... Me too, I think the doll is too oozing. Liao Huiying's figure trembled.

"You did the same, that's not the end, I also tore it off, which of you still has dolls."

Chen Jun's gaze swept towards everyone, which made him desperate.

"It seems that everyone tore up the doll, is there a possibility, it is because we tore off the doll, so the evil ghost was able to come out and harm people and kill Mr. Qin."

Jiang Rui's words made everyone in the study silent all of a sudden, because there was really such a possibility, to put it this way, Mr. Qin was harmed by them.

[You find that you already know the truth, but is this really the truth, you have some doubts in your heart, as the director's intuition tells you that things are not so simple. 】

[As the director, what you believe most is confessions and evidence, find a way to find those confessions and evidence that have disappeared.] 】

Su Le's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gave him another hint, it seems that the confession and clues in the envelope are very important.

Mr. Qin must have received this letter, but why did Mr. Qin hide it on the floor after reading it?

Where did those confessions and evidence from the scene go?

"Director Li, you are the director, what do you think about this matter?" Just as Su Le was thinking, Jiang Rui suddenly asked him.

"Since the confession and evidence are mentioned in the letter, we need to find them before we can determine whether our guess is correct."

Su Le replied according to the hint of the text, the castle is so big, it is naturally better for everyone to look for it together than for him to look for it alone.

"I also agree, it should be the study and Mr. Qin's bedroom, let's divide into two teams and search for the bottom."

"I agree."

The seven of them all agreed with Su Le's idea, and the butler said, "I'll prepare lunch for all the guests, and there is still some food in the kitchen." ”

The housekeeper left, but Su Le didn't continue to look for it in the study, he was going to go to Mr. Qin's bedroom to have a look.

"Before placing Mr. Qin's body on the bed, we have already turned over the entire bed, and there is nothing hidden there."

Seeing Su Le staring at the bed as soon as he entered the bedroom, Zhang Feiyu, who came in together, said it, and Su Le looked elsewhere.

Two hours later!

The eight of them met, all with disappointed expressions on their faces, and there was nothing else to gain from the study and bedroom.

"Everyone, lunch is ready, let's eat first."

The housekeeper informed Su Le that lunch was ready, and everyone walked towards the restaurant, but Liao Huiying suddenly stopped halfway.

"I forgot about my contact lenses, go back to my room and get them."

Liao Huiying hurriedly walked towards the guest room, Su Le and the seven didn't care, and everyone started to eat in the restaurant.

"There's no way to get out, the doll was destroyed by us, and tonight the evil ghost came out again to harm people, what should I do?"

"No, let's gather together at night, no matter how powerful that evil ghost is, we also have that person, that student back then could kill him, and now we eight adults can do it."

Chen Jun gritted his teeth and said fiercely, this made Su Le a little surprised, he looked the most timid and life-saving, he didn't expect to be able to say such a thing.

"Hmph, don't look at me like that, I can make my business so big, that is, I should be decisive when I should be decisive." Chen Jun saw everyone's strange eyes and said arrogantly.

"Why hasn't Mr. Liao come down for so long, it doesn't take so long to wear a contact lens."

"This Teacher Liao is also interesting, we didn't wear contact lenses when we searched before, but now we have finished searching and went to get contact lenses."

"yes, why didn't she wear it before?"

Everyone present sensed that something was wrong, and the first person to react was Su Le, Su Le put down his chopsticks and walked towards the guest room, and the others followed when they saw Su Le leaving his seat.

Bang!

Su Le came to Liao Huiying's guest room, shouted a few times but didn't respond, frowned and pushed the door open.

The door was pushed open, and Su Le's cold hairs stood up at this moment.
