Sima Bei sighed with a depressed expression, followed the gaze of the village chief Haitao to Haiyan, and frowned slightly.

Haiyan seemed to feel the suspicion in Sima Bei's eyes, and immediately stood up, shook her head and explained, "It's not me! ”

Village Chief Haitao smiled, "Haiyan is simple-minded, even before the banquet just now, she refused to tell your real name...... But since you even came to this island, I already knew who you were. A few years ago, I once went to D City, and at that time you and Zhang Xiaoman were still investigating the case of Orange Village, and I happened to meet your teacher Longbow Nanming in a hoof flower shop, and helped him complete a little magic ......"

Sima Bei's eyes narrowed, remembering that his teacher had mysteriously disappeared in the abandoned factory, and tilted his head and said, "You mean that bad old man told you my story?" ”

"As a reward for helping, he gave me two documents, one for yours and one for Zhang Xiaoman," the village chief Haitao did not directly answer Sima Bei's question, and said lightly, "Let me choose which one to help solve the predicament of our island at that time...... However, I didn't have a choice, and finally decided to solve it on my own and returned to the island. Mainly because I got a little bit of inspiration from both of you, especially you......"

Sima Bei raised his wine glass, sipped the spirits, and played with the taste with his expression, "Me? Compared to Zhang Xiaoman, I'm very ordinary, what can inspire you deeply. ”

Village Chief Haitao nodded and said, "That's right, at first glance, you are indeed very ordinary, with average grades, average appearance, and average physique......"

Sima Bei's face immediately stiffened, and he was almost choked by the spirits, and his stomach was slandered.

The village chief, Haitao, coughed and continued, "But there was something in the information that caught my attention, so I specially asked someone to investigate it at that time, and the results really shocked me...... In 05, when you were a high school student, there was a serial murder case near Donghu No. 1 Middle School in D City, the murderer singled out a high school girl who went home alone at night, raped and then killed her by cruel means, and tied it with a red rope into a strange shape......"

When Sima Bei heard the village chief Haitao talk about the serial rape and murder case, his face sank, and the hand holding the cup suddenly became hard, and his knuckles became extremely white.

The village chief Haitao saw Sima Bei's expression, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile, "At that time, you had only been learning detective knowledge with Longbow Nanming for a long time, but you felt that you could already be on par with the great detective, so I discussed it with a female classmate and asked her to use it as bait to fish out that perverted killer......"

"Enough!" Sima Bei drank in a deep voice, and the quilt was heavily placed on the table, his face covered with frost.

The village chief Haitao sneered, but he didn't stop, "As a result, you didn't expect that the male classmate who accompanied you in the design at that time was the son of the murderer and an accomplice...... All your tricks have long been known to the murderer, and it will dawn on you when you see the boy's method of tying his shoes, but it is too late, and when you try to find the murderer, the female classmate has already been killed, and the murderer has tied the girl's body in front of you into a strange shape......"

"It's over!" Sima Bei had a cold face and said in a low voice.

The village chief Haitao lightly tapped the table a few times, picked up the wine glass, and took a shallow sip, as if he hadn't heard Sima Bei's words, and continued, "The next thing is more interesting, you are thin and you actually subdued the murderer and his son with your bare hands, and your fists are to the flesh...... Just as you are about to beat them to death, your teacher arrives with the police, and the sirens wake you up, but it doesn't end there, you deliberately cut a gap in the rope that binds the murderer before the police enter the room, and pretend to accidentally throw the knife on the ground......"

The bald little five frowned, and interjected with a puzzled face, "What does he mean by doing this?" Doesn't this create a chance for the murderer to escape? ”

The village chief Haitao smiled and said, "That's right! He just wants to create a chance for the murderer to escape! A criminal like committing a serial rape and murder case is usually caught by the police and shot, at least life imprisonment, but he doesn't want the murderer to have a chance to get a life sentence...... So when the police hurried to the room, they happened to see the murderer break free of the rope, pick up the knife on the ground, and want to be ruthless to him, and he was already prepared, it seems that it was a very coincidental pick up a piece of glass and insert it into the murderer's heart! ”

The bald little five frowned, and suddenly said, "I see, in this way, he killed the murderer in legitimate defense, legal and reasonable!" What a deep scheming! What inspired you from this? ”

The village head, Haitao, sighed, "After I knew all the details of this matter, I thought about it for a long time, and finally understood a truth...... Relying on others to get things is far less enjoyable than fighting for it yourself! It's just that after all, it was not handled perfectly, causing some people to go further and further down the wrong path, and even spawned a bad guy village......"

The bald Xiao Wu smashed his mouth and said, "You can't say that, if there are no bad people in this world, then there are no good people, and our village naturally doesn't exist......" looked sideways at Sima Bei, who had a gloomy face, sighed lightly, and raised his eyebrows, "Do you have anything you want to say, although you even used a fake name before, but after all, several lives are involved, as long as you can get the empirical evidence that you are not a murderer, I will definitely not just listen to one-sided words, I will still judge impartially!" ”

Of course, Sima Bei understood what the bald Xiao Wu meant, took a deep breath, tried to extract it from the nightmarish memories of the year, slowly put down the cup in his hand, looked at the village chief Haitao, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Your storytelling skills are very good, I almost believed it myself, but there is a big loophole in your inference, in the two murders of Hai Sheng and Li Jing, it is impossible for me to accurately grasp the time of the crime, because the actions of the captain of Xiao Wu are beyond my control...... Moreover, when the previous cases occurred, I had an alibi, so I won't repeat this, I believe the big guys are already relatively clear. ”

The bald Xiao Wu nodded in approval, blinked his eyes and said, "Then who do you think the murderer is?" ”

"The murderer is indeed sitting at our table...... Sima Bei cleared his throat, glanced at the village chief Haitao's shoes meaningfully and asked, "Village chief, there is a question I want to ask you...... What size shoes do you usually wear? ”

Village Chief Haitao snorted, "I know what you mean, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, the shoes on my feet are size 43." ”

Sima Bei shook his head and smiled, "You may be mistaken, I did say before that the shoe print left by the murderer at the scene was 45 yards, but there is one thing I didn't say...... That is, the murderer's feet were not suitable for wearing size 45 shoes, and the back half of those shoe prints were obviously lighter than the front end, indicating a problem...... The murderer's shoes don't follow! ”

When the bald little five heard this, he immediately asked the strong man next to him to take out the rubbings of those shoe prints, take a closer look, and his eyes shone brightly, "That's really the case!" ”

The village chief Haitao frowned and said, "This doesn't mean anything, there are a lot of people in the village who wear shoes under size 45!" Aren't you wearing size 42 shoes yourself, originally if you insisted that the murderer was wearing size 45 shoes, you could still prove that you might not be the murderer, but now this overturns the previous arguments, but it only increases your suspicion! ”

Sima Bei smiled slightly, "It's true that as you said, shoes don't indicate who the murderer is...... The reason why I didn't explain the problem of the murderer's shoe size before was to make the murderer careless, think that the treacherous plan had succeeded, and leave more evidence. It's just that this murderer is very cunning and very meticulous, and he doesn't show too many flaws, but fortunately, I have other ways to prove it. ”

The bald little five immediately asked, "What method?" ”

"I want to start by asking you a question...... If the body of another victim is hidden in someone's home, can it be proved that this person is the murderer? Sima Bei glanced at everyone in the audience and asked softly.

The bald little five replied without hesitation, "Of course you can!" Wait a minute...... Are you saying that apart from Lao Wang, there were other people who were killed? ”

Sima Bei nodded and said, "That's right, although only seven corpses have been found now, there should actually be nine people killed, maybe ......more" Turning his head to look at Long You, who had been silent next to him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Of the other two corpses I know, one is buried in the beach outside the village, and the remaining one ...... It's at the village chief's house! ”

Everyone was shocked, looked at Sima Bei in astonishment, and then looked at the village chief Haitao, as if they felt that they had heard it wrong.

The bald little five stood up suddenly, and said eagerly, "The beach is too big to find, but the village chief's house is so big, it will soon be confirmed...... You have to think about it, don't talk nonsense, if you want to take back what you just said, I can pretend that I didn't hear it! ”

Sima Bei shook his head again and said with a smile, "How can a man casually regret his words...... Since I dare to say it in front of the big guys, it is definitely not untargeted! There was a security guard named Ren Cai who followed me into the village that day, he had a nickname called One Ear, and as soon as he entered the village, he separated from us, because he heard that there was a place with another ear on the wall, and this place was ...... It's our village chief's home! ”

The village chief Haitao's face was cold, and his eyes were a little evasive, "Nonsense!" Don't believe this man, this man is a liar...... How can a man who doesn't even dare to say his name openly, believe his words! ”

Sima Bei chuckled, pointed to the room where he and Long You had lived, and said confidently, "Do I have any nonsense, let's go in and check it out...... Ren Cai has never appeared since he came to the village chief's house that day, and there is only one truth! He's been killed by you, and I'm guessing you're not moving his body out yet, and you're still hiding somewhere in the room! ”
