They put the old Cao Bao on his own bed. Finally, after checking again, Nangong Jin left the room and went downstairs. And all the people were gathered together in the chamber of the ear. Mrs. Hua Yun is still playing with her string of Buddha beads. Liang Feiyan stood at the window and watched the heavy rain that kept falling like a broken pearl. Shen He sat upright in a chair, his hands on his knees. Monk Yuanzhen kept walking around. Lu Feng was at the end of the room, sitting in an easy chair with his eyes half-closed. When Nangong Jin walked into the ear room, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in a clear and imposing voice: "How is it, divine doctor?" Nangong Jin's face was very pale and said, "It's not a heart or this kind of problem at all." Mr. Cao's dart head was killed by a heavy object in the back of the head. This caused a lot of chatter. Lu Feng spoke in a loud voice again: "Have you found the murder weapon?" ”

"Nope."

"And can you be sure of your judgment?"

"I'm absolutely sure." So Lu Feng said calmly: "Now that we know more and more about our situation, who is in charge of all this, it can now be said that there is no doubt." Lu Feng had been curled up in the chair on the platform all morning, refraining from participating in any public events. Now, he has put on the same style that he has been giving orders for a long time, and he has resumed his command. He presided over the interrogation in no uncertain terms. He cleared his throat and spoke again, "I sat on this platform this morning, and I was an observer of all of you's every move. Your intentions are clear. You're searching the island to find the killer of an unknown person. ”

"You're right." Monk Yuanzhen said.

Lu Feng continued: "No need to ask, you have come to the same conclusion as mine - to be specific, Fang Yulong and Madam Qin did not die by accident or suicide. There is no doubt that you have come to some conclusion about the purpose of the people behind us to trick us into coming to this island. Shen He said in a rough voice: "He's a psychopath!" A madman. ”

Lu Feng coughed and said, "There is almost no doubt about this, but it can't help us solve the problem." Our main concern is how to avoid not having an accident on our own. Nangong Jin's voice trembled, and he said, "Ouyang Xun's predecessor has died a long time ago, and there is no one on this island, except for a few of us. Not a single one! Lu Feng touched his chin and said steadily: "According to my estimate, there will be no one other than us." I came to this conclusion early this morning. I could have told you in advance that no amount of search would have been in vain. And I have a strong feeling, or a bold guess, that the people who designed it all are actually on this island. It must be so. As for his plan, there was only one way to achieve it, to punish certain people who had committed various crimes that the law or the government could not sanction. That's mixing in with us. In this way, the problem is clear. One of us is the man......"

Six

"Oh, no, no, no......" Liang Feiyan suddenly had a seizure, almost whimpering. Lu Feng glanced at her sharply and said, "Miss Liang, now is not the time to open your eyes and be unwilling to face reality. We are all in extreme danger. One of us is the one who hides behind it. I just don't know which of us is him. Of the ten people who came to the island, three have already confessed. Fang Yulong, Mrs. Qin, and Cao Lao Dart are all here, so there are only seven of us left, and among the seven of us, if I had to tell me what I thought, there must be one of us who is a fake. He stopped. Look at everyone around you. "Can I assume that you all agree with me?"

Nangong Jindao: "It's too unexpected to happen for this so far, but combined with what we know, I think you're right." ”

Shen He also spoke: "There is nothing else to doubt. If you want to hear what I think, I have a good idea-" Lu Feng hurriedly stopped him with a gesture. Lu Feng still said steadily: "Let's talk about this now." So far, what I want to be clear about is whether we all agree on the facts that are in front of us. "Mrs. Hua Yun is still turning the Buddha beads in her hand. "Your argument sounds reasonable," she said. I agree that one of us is an errand boy for the devil. ”

Liang Feiyan said softly: "I can't believe it...... I can't ......."

Lu Feng looked at Monk Yuanzhen and said, "Master Yuanzhen, what about you?" ”

"I'm for it, totally." Lu Feng seemed quite satisfied, he nodded and said, "Okay, then now let's put forward evidence and tell the facts." First of all, is there any reason to wonder who it is? Shen He, I think you seem to want to say something? Shen He panted nervously and said, "Monk Yuanzhen has the Tang Sect's exclusive secret weapon, the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle. But he didn't tell the truth last night, which he admitted. ”

Monk Yuanzhen grinned and said with a sneer: "I see, I have to explain it again." He explained again, succinctly. Shen He asked without relaxation: "What do you use to prove it?" Nothing to prove that what you say is true? Lu Feng coughed. Regrettably," he said, "all of us are the same, and we can only rely on each of us to say it ourselves." He leaned forward and said, "I dare say that none of you have really realized how critical our situation is. The only way I can think of a deal about it is to see if the information we have is enough to prove that one of us is certainly not the one behind it. ”

Nangong Jin immediately said: "I am a doctor that many people are familiar with. So the only reason to doubt me is only-" Lu Feng raised his hand again to interrupt Nangong Jin's speech. Lu Feng continued to say in his soft, but clear voice: "I am also a figure that many people are familiar with! So, Divine Doctor, you might as well not talk about it! For a while, there have been some misdeeds among the doctors, and there are also misdeeds among the officials, and among the headhunters—" He looked at Shen He and added: "No exception!" ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "In any case, I think you should exclude the women. Lu Feng's eyebrows were raised, and he said in the mean-spirited language that he had long been familiar with and known to officialdom: "In this way, I should think that you are advocating that there will be no murderers among women?" ”

Monk Yuanzhen said angrily: "Of course this is not the case. Anyway, it just doesn't seem possible—" He paused. Lu Feng still said to Nangong Jin in his soft, sour voice: "Nangong Divine Doctor, I can think that a woman's strength can also attack and kill the poor old Cao Leopard, right?" Nangong Jin said calmly: "It's possible—as long as the guy who uses it is handy." ”

"Surely, the guy can do it, right?"

"Yes, even children have the opportunity to do it." Lu Feng twisted his turtle-like neck and said, "The other two homicides were drug deaths. And no one can say all this, even the least powerful people can do it. ”

Liang Feiyan said angrily: "I think you are crazy! Lu Feng's eyes slowly turned and stared at her face, this look was cold and ruthless, indicating that this person had been accustomed to observing words and expressions for a long time and he was silent. Liang Feiyan thought, "He looked at me like this, and treated me as a prisoner under his scrutiny, and"—she couldn't help but be a little surprised at the thought of this—"Does he doubt me!" ”

Lu Feng said clearly: "Miss Liang, you better restrain your feelings!" Try. Actually, I'm not talking about you. He bent down to Master Hua Yun again. I hope you don't get out of the way, I'm just saying that all of us are suspicious, and there are no exceptions. Master Hua Yun only cared about fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hand, without raising her head, and said coldly: "Anyone who knows me as a person will feel very ridiculous if they hear someone say that I have harmed other people's lives, let alone two lives at once. However, I can understand that we don't know anyone after all, and in this case, if there is no sufficient evidence, then no one can get away with it. I still insist on the saying: there is indeed a devil among us. ”

Lu Feng said: "In this way, we have reached an agreement, and there is no question of excluding anyone who is suspected just because of the so-called character or identity." ”

Monk Yuanzhen said, "What do you think of Qin Zhong? ”

Lu Feng looked at him intently: "What do you think?" ”

Monk Yuan Zhen said: "This, in my opinion, Qin Zhong can be completely excluded. Lu Feng said: "Is the master serious? What is the basis? Monk Yuanzhen said: "One, with his reputation and the feeling he doesn't like, the most important thing is that his wife is also a victim. Lu Feng's thick eyebrows raised again, and he said, "But master, I have interrogated some suspects accused of murdering his wife before, and finally proved that this is indeed the case."

"I agree with that. The murder of his own wife is very possible - it can even be said to be too commonplace! But in this case, it must not be! I can believe that Qin Zhong killed his wife. said that he was afraid that she would not be able to stand it, and that she would betray him; It's okay to say that he dislikes her; It's okay to say that he wants to marry a much younger girl. But I can't believe that he is the crazy man behind it, doing some fucking law enforcement, and taking his wife to the first shot, when in fact, the two of them did it together. ”

Lu Feng said: "You are using hearsay as evidence." We don't know if Qin Zhong and his wife actually killed Lin Yong's family. This is completely, in order to make Qin Zhong and us in the same situation. The reason for Mrs. Qin's fear yesterday may also be that she found out that her husband was insane. ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "Okay, you just say yours." Anyway, the person behind it is one of us, and anyone can possibly do it, and no one can escape. ”

Lu Feng said: "My opinion is not to exclude anyone in terms of morality, identity, or possibility. Rather, it excludes the possibility of one or more persons on the basis of a variety of facts. Let's do it now. To put it simply, who or which of us is completely impossible to poison the other party's jade dragon, it is completely impossible to use an overdose of sleeping pills on Mrs. Qin, and there is no chance to deliver a fatal blow to Mr. Cao's dart? Shen He's face, which had been gloomy, became cheerful. He leaned forward. "That's what you say!" "That's the way," he said. Let's try it. Regarding this young man Fang Yulong, I don't think there's anything to check. Someone had already said that before Fang Yulong filled the wine glass for the last time, someone outside the window might have secretly put something in the leftover wine. It's even easier for someone who is really in the room to do it. I can't remember if Qin Zhong was in the room at the time, as for the rest of us, any of us could do this. He paused and then continued: "Now let's take Mrs. Qin's matter, it was her husband and Nangong Jin who sent her to the room at that time. Either of them can do it easily-" Nangong Jin jumped up, trembling. "I'm against it—you're just inexplicable! I swear, I gave that woman nothing—"

"Nangong Divine Doctor." This thin, sour voice works. As soon as Nangong Jin said half a sentence, he suddenly stopped. "Your indignation is quite normal. But, despite this, you have to admit it. It's either you, it's Qin Zhong, and it's possible for you to use a lethal dose effortlessly. Now, let's take a look at the rest of you. Do I, Shen He, Mrs. Huayun, Miss Liang, and Monk Yuan Zhen have any chance to be poisoned? Who of these people could be completely excluded? He paused,

"I don't think it's possible to see one." Liang Feiyan was angry and said, "I'm not next to this woman at all!" You can all testify. Lu Feng hesitated for a moment before speaking: "According to my memory, the truth is like this-if I say it incorrectly, please correct it." After Fang Yulong and Monk Yuan Zhen carried Mrs. Qin to bed, Nangong Jin ran over. He asked Qin Zhong to fetch a bowl of hot water. Later, the question was raised: where did the picture scroll we see come from? We all walked into the next room, except for Mrs. Hua Yun, who was still in the old place, alone with the unconscious woman. Master Hua Yun's cheeks suddenly changed color. She put down the beads and said, "I really didn't go with you, but"

But the ruthless and thin voice still said: "And when we returned to the room, you, Master Hua Yun, were leaning over the woman on the bed. Mrs. Hua Yun said, "Is normal compassion also a crime? Lu Feng said: "I'm just talking about this fact. Then Qin Zhong brought hot water in, of course, it is entirely possible that he had been drugged before entering the house. The bowl of hot water made the woman drink it. After a while, his husband and Nangong Jin helped her get into bed. Nangong Jin gave her sleeping pills on the spot. ”

Shen He said: "That's how things happened, that's right. So it's none of Lu Feng, Monk Yuanzhen, myself, and Miss Liang and us. He spoke loudly and looked very happy. Lu Feng glanced at him coldly and said in a low voice, "Huh? Is it okay? We must take every eventuality into account. ”

Shen He's eyes widened again, and he said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

Lu Feng said: "Mrs. Qin is lying upstairs in her own room. The sleeping pills given to her by the miracle doctor began to work, and she was dazed and sleepy, and she was silent. Suppose that at that time, a person knocked on the door, walked into the room, handed her a pill or a bowl of potion, and passed on the message of the divine doctor that it was ordered to be eaten by the divine doctor. You would never imagine that Madam Qin would think twice, not listen to the rumors, and not swallow the medicine immediately. After being quiet for a while, Shen He walked back and forth restlessly, frowning.

Monk Yuanzhen said: "I don't believe your statement at all. Besides, there was always a long time after the incident, and none of us left this room, and then it was Fang Yulong's death and so on. Lu Feng said, "What if someone later went to find Madam Qin from his or her own room?" I mean later. ”

Monk Yuan Zhen disagreed: "Qin Zhong was in the room at that time. Nangong Jin opened his mouth. No," he said, "at that time, Qin Zhong went downstairs to clean up the hall and kitchen. It's possible that someone has been there without knowing it. Master Hua Yun said, "Divine Doctor, can you be sure that that woman must have slept to death after taking your medicine?" ”

"Nine times out of ten, that's going to be the case, but it's not for sure. For any particular patient, it is only after a few prescriptions that it is possible to know how he reacts differently to different medications. Sometimes, it takes a long time for sleeping pills to work. It all depends on how each person's constitution reacts to specific medications. ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "Of course, I'm afraid you've said this set of words many times, aren't they all ripe?" Nangong Jin was angered again, and his face suddenly became gloomy. But Lu Feng's indifferent and ruthless whisper once again stopped the words that had already reached his lips. "Refutation doesn't solve anything, what we have to figure out is the truth, and I think that what I just said is that it is possible to happen, and I admit that it is not very likely. But that also depends on who is likely to go. If this kind of errand of delivering medicine falls on the head of Mrs. Huayun or Miss Liang, the patient will definitely not have any doubts when he sees them go. If I go, or Shen He and Yuan Zhen monks, at least, it will be very abnormal, but I still think that this will not make her overly suspicious. ”

Shen He said: "Then what does it mean for us? ”

Seven

Lu Feng gently tapped his lips with his fingers, his face was full of indifference, and he said without any human feelings: "We are talking about the second homicide case now, and the facts show that none of us can completely get rid of suspicion. He paused and said, "Let's talk about the death of Mr. Cao's dart." This happened this morning. If anyone has anything to talk about, they can excuse him or herself, and I ask him to do the same. As for myself, I now say on the spot that I did not have sufficient evidence to say that I was not present. I sat on the platform all morning, thinking about the situation, which was the situation for each and every one of us. "I sat in the chair on the platform all morning until the bell rang. But I should say that I remember several times when there was no one around, and it was entirely possible that I would go to the beach, kill the head of the dart, and then go back to my chair and sit down. To prove that I have never left the platform, I can only listen to myself. And in this case, this is not enough. There must be proof. ”

Shen He said: "I have been with Master Yuanzhen and Nangong Divine Doctor all morning. They can testify to me. Nangong Jin said: "You went to the house to get the rope in the middle." ”

Shen He said: "Yes, I have been there. Go straight back, you should know that. Nangong Jin said: "You have been gone for a long time...... Shen He blushed and said, "What do you mean by that, Nangong Jin?" Nangong Jin said again: "I just said that you have been gone for a long time." ”

"Don't you need to spend time looking for it? How can you reach out and reach a large roll of rope? Lu Feng said, "When Shen He walked away, were the two of you together?" ”

Nangong Jin was furious: "Then it needs to be said." Monk Yuanzhen walked away for a moment, and I didn't move all the time. Monk Yuanzhen said with a smile: "I want to see if I can use the reflection of the sun's rays to send a signal to the shore." Gotta find a suitable place. I only walked away for a moment. Nangong Jin nodded in agreement: "That's right." I assure you, it's too short to kill. ”

Lu Feng said: "Which of you two pays attention to how long the time has passed, at that time?" ”

"Not really." Monk Yuanzhen said: "What do you think about it. Lu Feng said unhurriedly: "So this statement is too vague. Then, he turned his head to the master who was sitting upright with the Buddha beads in his hand: "What about Master Huayun?" Mrs. Hua Yun said, "I went to the top of the island with Miss Liang. Then I sat on the platform and basked in the sun. ”

Lu Feng said, "I don't remember where you were. ”

"No, I'm on the east-facing corner of the house. There is shelter from the wind. ”

"You've been sitting there until lunchtime?"

"Yes."

"Miss Liang?" Liang Feiyan replied confidently and loudly: "Early this morning, I was with Mrs. Hua Yun; After that, I slipped around, and then went to the beach to chat with Mr. Cao. Lu Feng interjected and asked, "When was that?" ”

Liang Feiyan was in a trance at this time, she said: "I don't know, about half an hour before dinner, I think about it - maybe not yet." Shen He asked, "After we talked to him, or before?" Liang Feiyan said: "I don't know. He- he's weird. "She's a little shivering." How strange is the law? "Lu Feng wants to ask clearly. Liang Feiyan whispered, "He said we were all dying - he said he was waiting for his end." He- he scared me ......" Lu Feng nodded and said, "What did you do later?" ”

"I'm back in my room. I didn't come out until before eating, and I walked around the back of the house. I was in a state of uncertainty for the whole day anyway. ”

Lu Feng stroked his chin and said, "There is still one Qin Zhong left." In fact, I doubt how much his testimony can add to us. Qin Zhong, who finally came to the ear room, really didn't say much about the situation. He was busy with household chores and preparing lunch all morning. He also brought wine to the terrace before the meal, and then went upstairs to move his things from the attic into another house. I didn't even look out the window in the morning, and I didn't even see a trace of Cao Bao's death. He also said with certainty that when he opened the table at noon, there were indeed eight small porcelain figures on the table. As soon as Qin Zhong's testimony ended, the room suddenly fell silent again. Lu Feng cleared his throat. Monk Yuanzhen whispered to Liang Feiyan: "Now listen to him and conclude!" ”

Lu Feng said: "We did our best to question the circumstances of the three deaths. Some of us are not involved in some respects, but so far we have not been able to determine which one of us has no involvement in this case. I reiterate my absolute belief that one of the seven people who are here right now is a dangerous or possibly insane criminal. However, there is no evidence before us as to which one he is. All we can do now is think of ways to get in touch with the shore for help, and what we need to do to keep us safe in the event that help from the shore doesn't come for a while (and nine times out of ten, depending on the weather). "I ask you to think carefully about this situation and to make any suggestions that come to your mind. In the meantime, I also warn everyone to be vigilant. Murderers are so unscrupulous precisely because we, the victims, are unsuspecting. From now on, it is our duty to pay attention to each and every one of us. All things are foreseen, that is, they are prepared and do not fail. Don't be careless and beware of danger. I'm done. ”

Monk Yuanzhen muttered silently: "Let's leave the hall now......"
