However, regardless of whether Yuan Zhuang is Qin Jing'an or not, there are many doubts in his every move, which is an indisputable fact.

When Tian Chunda fell into deep thought, Hong Xiangsong's sharp voice suddenly came from next to him.

"Captain Tian, didn't you find the footprints of the masked man in the ruins of Toyota Village? In this way, on the night when Zhu Wenwu was killed, did the masked man who stayed at the Kashiwa House Hostel still stay in this area?

Why didn't you arrest him sooner? Who is that person? ”

"Oh, we're trying our best to investigate this matter, but the other party isn't a general.

After the suspicious Tian Sanping stayed in Xiping for one night, he left Xiping on the 13th and set off for Nanguang. The masked man who stayed at the Shimomiji Kashiwa House on the night of the 15th must also be this person. Mrs. Hong Xiangsong, Zuo Qing, I have asked a few times, do you really not know who this person is? ”

Zuo Qing, who was wearing a mask, shook his head without saying a word, while Hong Xiangsong stared at Captain Tian with an incredulous expression, and soon showed a bitter smile and said, "It's not easy for you to find out these things. By the way, is there anything other than the footprints of the masked man at the scene in Toyota Village? ”

"Well...... Yes, he left a lot of things...... I think there's a place that's pretty weird. ”

"What's this strange method?"

Everyone knows that Xin Youzhi was tied to a chair with his upper body naked, and his chest and hands were covered with rope abrasions. In other words, he wanted to break free from the rope to leave these scars. From these scars alone, it is not difficult to see that the rope should be tied quite loosely, but when we found the body, the rope was tightly tied to Xin Youzhi's body, and even a little finger could not be stretched in. ”

Hong Xiangsong kept staring at Tian Chunda, and after a while asked in a very calm voice: "So, what is going on?"

"I don't know, but there's another thing," Captain Tian took out a shirt from his briefcase.

"Mrs. Hong Xiangmei, this is Xin Youzhi's shirt, right?"

Hong Xiangmei looked at the shirt with tears streaming down her eyes, and then nodded silently.

Xin Youzhi's shirt has a very big feature, the five buttons on his shirt are all inlaid with diamonds on a chrysanthemum-shaped gold pedestal, but the top diamond button has fallen off.

Do you know when this clasp fell? ”

Hong Xiangmei shook her head and said, "I don't know. However, this button must have fallen off when Xin Youzhi went out. Because Xin Youzhi is a child who loves to be beautiful very much, if his shirt is missing buttons, he will definitely not wear it out. Hey? Didn't you find this clasp at the scene of the murder? ”

"Nope. We searched for a long time but couldn't find this button. By the way, could it be him to Zhu Shi...... Well, we wonder if it fell on the motorboat at that time? But after searching for a motorboat, I still haven't found this button, I wonder if it will fall into the lake? If that were the case, it would not be possible to find it. ”

At this time, the host of Zhiqing actually floated in like a gust of wind and revealed a rather terrible secret......

The host of Zhiqing was very excited about his discovery, and his face was full of joy that could not be hidden; He glanced at everyone, threw the cloth bag on the chair, and talked triumphantly about it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know the secret of Mr. Hong Li's will. The reason why Mr. Hong Li left so much inheritance to Miss Zhu Shi was not because she was the granddaughter of his benefactor; In fact, Ms. Zhu Shi is Mr. Hong Li's own granddaughter. In other words, Miss Zhu Shi's mother is actually the daughter of Mr. Hong Li and his mistress. ”

At first, everyone looked at Zhiqing in confusion, but after a while, they suddenly understood what he wanted to say, and at this time, everyone was shocked by this terrifying truth. Zhu Shi's face turned blue, and he looked like he would fall down at any time, and Zuo Qing, who was wearing a mask, was trembling in his shoulders.

Hong Xiangsong, Hong Xiangzhu, and Hong Xiangmei heard this statement for the first time, and saw the three of them glaring at Zhu Shi with fierce eyes.

*******

Usually in mid-December, the shore of Momiji Lake is expected to start to freeze, and after mid-January, the ice on the shore can be skated. But if the year is particularly cold, then around the end of the year it will be possible to skate on the shore.

It happened to be a very cold year, and as soon as mid-December began, a thick layer of ice began to form on the shore of the lake behind Momiji Inn.

On the morning of December 13, the police found the terrible body of the last victim of the Hong Li family in the ice near the lake!

At this time, Tian Chunda looked at the increasingly depressed and desolate scene on the lakeside, and the melancholy in his heart was increasing day by day.

It has been two months since he accepted Lin Ruo's invitation to come to Red Leaf Valley, and in these two months, three men have been killed, and these three murders are still in a state of stalemate.

Although Tian Chunda strongly felt in his heart that the murderer was beside him, and it was right in front of everyone's eyes; But there was always a dust in his eyes, so that he couldn't clearly see the true face of the murderer.

Tian Chunda's heart became more and more irritable, and he even began to feel that a heart could not settle down recently.

He wanted to re-read what had happened in the past few moments, and perhaps find some clues from it, so he read his diary repeatedly, and the mysterious figure hidden behind the cigarette curtain never made it clear what he really was.

Although he has not yet seen the ins and outs of the whole incident, the items recorded in these diaries have hidden the mystery of the continuous murder of the Hong Li family.

1. October 18 - At the invitation of Lin Ruo, he came to the Red Leaf Valley, after which Zhu Shi encountered a shipwreck disaster, and Lin Ruo was killed on the same day.

2. November 1 - Zuo Qing wearing a mask returned to Hong Li's home, and lawyer Gu Gong announced Mr. Hong Li's will in front of Hong Li's family.

3. November 15 – Zhu Wenwu and Xin Youzhi suspect Zuo Qing's identity and go to Miyun Temple to retrieve Zuo Qing's handprints stored there (thanks to Zhu Shi's extraordinary wisdom)

4. On the evening of the same day, Mrs. Hong Xiangsong and Zuo Qing refused to put their handprints, and the family meeting broke up unhappily at about ten o'clock.

5. At 11 p.m. on the same day, Zhu Shi called Zhu Wenwu to the lookout and handed him a pocket watch with the fingerprints of Zuo Qing wearing a mask (the pocket watch is currently missing, and may have sunk to the bottom of the lake. ）

6. On the evening of the same day, Zhu Wenwu was killed, and the time of the murderer's murder was presumed to be between eleven and twelve o'clock.

7. At about 8 p.m. on the same day, a masked man who identified himself as Tian Sanping stayed at the Kashiwaya Hotel in the lower autumn leaves, and left the hotel at about 10 o'clock to go out, and returned to the hotel at about 12 o'clock, looking embarrassed when he returned to the hotel.

8. On the morning of November 16, Yuan Zhuang found Zhu Wenwu's head on the platform where the chrysanthemum doll was placed, and the scene of the murder was determined to be on the lookout.

9. On the same day, Mrs. Hong Xiangsong and Zuo Qing took the initiative to affix their handprints. This mudra coincides with the handprint retrieved from Miyun Temple, so it is determined that Zuo Qing wearing the mask is the real Zuo Qing.
