Seeing the commotion in the audience, the Hall Lord Chi Yuan and Qingcheng on the stage frowned at the same time.

"What's wrong with them? What are the people from Der Spiegel doing? The hall master of Chi Yuan looked at Qingcheng: "Go and check!" ”

At this moment, a shadow slowly walked up from the stage.

"Who are you?" Several Immortal Sect members shouted in a deep voice.

"Hall Master Chi Yuan, do you remember me?" Qianying smiled and looked at the Hall Master Chi Yuan on the stage, her voice was extremely kind.

"County Lord?" The Hall Lord of Chi Yuan said in a deep voice.

He had long known that Li Wan'er, the lord of Mingzhu County, had come to this Linyang City, but her little girl's thoughts had now spread throughout the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

But now that Li Wan'er is not accompanying her lover, what is she doing here for the Immortal Fa?

"It's been a long time since the Hall Lord of Chi Yuan has been seen." Li Wan'er nodded at the Chi Yuan Hall Lord, and then walked straight towards Duan Ming.

"What are you going to do?" Qingcheng said in a deep voice.

"Don't be rude!" However, before Li Wan'er could speak, the Hall Master Chi Yuan reprimanded Qingcheng.

Li Wan'er didn't care, she just came to Duan Ming's side and bowed slightly to Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan is talented, the little woman admires it." ”

"Don't say that, I'm scared to death." A wry smile appeared on Duan Ming's face: "If I guess wrong, then I'll be miserable." ”

"Mr. Duan has no last resort, how could he make a mistake." Li Wan'er said, came to Duan Ming's side, and gently helped Duan Ming up.

"County Lord!" At this moment, the Chi Yuan Hall Lord said in a deep voice, "Shouldn't you give an explanation to the deity?" ”

"How about I give you an explanation?" At this moment, Xing Qianqiu slowly walked up with a few figures, and then pushed the person in his hand in front of the master of Chi Yuan Palace: "This is the real murderer of the Hundred Ghosts Night Case!" ”

And at this moment, Chu Hao's face was like ashes.

"What the hell is going on?" The hall master of Chi Yuan looked at the crowd under the stand, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Mr. Duan, it's up to you." Li Wan'er looked at Duan Ming.

"Okay." Duan Ming nodded, his gaze swept over Chu Hao's face, and then looked at the people under the stand: "On the first day of the tenth month, on the day of Halloween, there are hundreds of ghosts who enter Linyang at night, rampant in the streets, and take people's heads, which is terrifying. ”

"We interrogated Song Yi and Chu Hao, the guards of the city that day, and asked many residents in the city, and all of them said decently and strangely."

"But in this, I have two questions."

"First, if it's really a hundred ghosts who walk nocturnally, then why did you kill only one person? Or think about it, why did you only kill the lame man? ”

"Second, if it's not a hundred ghosts who walk at night, then what exactly is the purpose of that person?"

"There are some things that can be answered by a little thought." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "The reason why the murderer only kills one person at night proves that person must die." But Xu Cripple was introverted in the past, never had enmity and grudges with others, and did not offend anyone. ”

"Why should he die?" Duan Ming's eyes stared at Chu Hao tightly: "Then there is only one possibility, that is, the existence of Xu Cripple interfered with the plan of the Hundred Ghosts to walk at night." ”

"How can a small person interfere with such a big plan? There's only one possibility......"

"The nature of his profession - a husband."

"Our judgment of time now often relies on sundials, that is, the shadow of the sun. But at night there is no sun, and sundials are useless. Therefore, the role of the husband is to stay awake all night, calculate the time, and tell the time at a fixed point. ”

In other words, if the lame man must die, then it is for this reason! Tell the time! ”

"In other words, this hundred ghosts have a lot of attention to time."

"But a new question arises, that is, when is it okay for a hundred ghosts to walk at night? Why do you have to force time? ”

"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, and I didn't figure it out until a while ago." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "The reason why the time requirement is accurate is not because the time of the hundred ghosts' night walk needs to be fixed, but to create a reasonable alibi for the murderer himself!" ”

Speaking of this, Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu: "I don't know if Chen Zheng brought it?" ”

"Brought!" An old voice came, and he saw Meng Changkong walking over with Chen Zheng.

And behind him was a burly young man, who was Song Yi, the commander of the city guard.

"What the hell is going on? Can you Spiegels bring my subordinates with you as you like? Song Yi looked at Xing Qianqiu, and then clenched his fist slightly at Li Wan'er: "Song Yi has seen the county lord." ”

"Captain Song misunderstood, we just asked these two to come and assist in the investigation." Xing Qianqiu said to Song Yi.

"Chen Zheng." Duan Ming looked at Chen Zheng: "You said that day that you saw a hundred ghosts suddenly enter the city, so you continued to guard at the city gate, while Chu Hao went to report to Song Duwei, right?" ”

"No, that's right!" Chen Zheng's face turned pale.

"He's right, Chu Hao came to me and told me about the hundred ghosts, so I immediately took someone to investigate, but unfortunately I didn't catch the hundred ghosts." Song Yi nodded.

"So, Duwei Song, may I ask when Chu Hao is going to look for you?" Duan Ming asked.

"It's three o'clock." Song Yi said in a deep voice.

"Is Captain Song so sure?" Duan Ming asked again.

"This is natural, our city guard has its own recorder, and we are very sure of the time." Song Yi said.

"Oh, so Chu Hao and Chen Zhenghai saw a hundred ghosts entering the city when they were in Hai, and they went to the City Guard Division to report to you at about three o'clock in the morning, which is extremely correct." Duan Ming nodded.

"That's right, there's no problem with timing." Song Yi nodded.

"No, that's the problem!" Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "On weekdays, ordinary people can only rely on the judgment of the husband to grasp the night time, but on Halloween, it is different, there is a time when there is no need to change the husband at all, that is, the time!" ”

"When the time comes, the moon horse travels, and when it comes to the time of the month, it will be called the moon horse." Duan Ming said: "So, if you only need to buy the person who calculates the travel time of the moon horse, or affect the judgment of that person, then what will happen to the people?" ”

"Can't tell when it's the hour?" The Hall Lord of Chi Yuan said.

"That's right!" Duan Ming nodded: "But there will be a stumbling block in this way." ”

"Fight the watchman!" Xing Qianqiu exhaled a long breath: "The husband who fights the watch is counting the time, and if he finds out that something is wrong, it is easiest to be exposed." Therefore, the lame man will die. ”

"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "But relying solely on the wrong time has no effect, there must be a correct time as a reference." ”

"And you're the right time for the city guard." Duan Ming said: "As long as these two times are used reasonably, people can make a perfect alibi!" ”
