Chapter 39: The Nightmare Begins

"Ah!!!h Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What's the matter, all the guests are still resting early in the morning, why are you yelling like this?" Zhao He rushed to the location of the maid who had just screamed and reprimanded.

"No, Steward Zhao, look inside the room. Dead, dead, dead again. The maid said tremblingly.

Zhao He stepped into the door and shouted, "Come on, come on!"

Ouyang Jincheng and others arrived as soon as possible, and the rest of the guests also came over one after another. I saw Lu Xingxue dressed in pajamas, lying peacefully on the bed, a dagger straight into his chest, a pool of blood on his chest, and his face was covered with a handkerchief, and a few small words were faintly written on the handkerchief: "Lu surnamed beast, collecting money, dirty women, sages and masquerades, the world is intolerable." "It's the handkerchief that came out of thin air last night.

"Zhao He, you went to put away the handkerchief last night, why did you appear here?" Wu Houcai saw the handkerchief and said angrily at Zhao He.

"Owner, I don't know, I put away the handkerchief and threw it directly into the garbage house in the back. Zhao He explained.

"Steward Zhao, you shouldn't have killed anyone. Qi Qiang's voice trembled a little and said to Zhao He.

"Master Qi, you can't talk nonsense, I have been with other people last night, and many people can testify. Zhao He hurriedly explained.

At this moment, "Ah!!!!" Another scream came from the distance. The crowd hurried over.

I saw that the door of Wei Wenqian's room was wide open, and a maid on the ground was so frightened that she spread it on the ground, and in front of her was a female corpse hanging on a beam: Wei Wenqian.

Several subordinates hurriedly untied the silk wrapped around Wei Wenqian's neck and put it down.

"Look. I don't know who said it, and following the reputation, there was a letter on the table.

Ouyang Jincheng opened the letter and read: "Wen Qian regards herself as a silk village business that has flourished in recent years, but it can only be well-off, and it is difficult to be included in the list of nobles. It wasn't until tonight that I saw this small profit, and I suddenly became enlightened. The cycle of cause and effect, the reincarnation should be repaid, when I saw the wealth, I was dizzy, and poisoned Sister Shuang and his wife, who were kind to me, fabricated a good name, dominated their silk village, stole family heirloom skills, and sought personal interests for themselves. As the days go by, the guilt fades, the feelings of apathy grow, and the sea of wealth is lost. Fortunately, with the blessing of God, today this thing is used as a stick to drink and awaken conscience. It is not too late to repent of the crime, and I hope that on the Huangquan Road, I can wash away the crime, get through it, and start again. Wei Wenqian is unique. ”

After listening to the letter, everyone's first reaction was in their hearts.

"Could it be that this little gift I prepared for the owner of Wei Zhuang hurt her?" Wu Houcai sighed as he looked at the silk untied from the beam.

"Where did you get this?" asked Ouyang Jincheng pointing to the silk and Wu Houcai.

"It was also obtained by accident a few years ago, and I can't remember the specifics. I see that this thick weaving technique is unique and exquisite, but the material cloth used is not a masterpiece, so it was not placed in the treasure appraisal conference, but as a small gift to the owner of the Wei Zhuang, unexpectedly, hey. Wu Houcai sighed.

"It seems that this Wei Wenqian is also not in a good position, and it seems from this letter that he is also a murderer and robber, and this time he woke up and still has a conscience. Xia Qingcang sighed.

"She didn't commit suicide, she murdered. Just when everyone sighed, Qin Hexuan suddenly said something amazing.

"Silk, hanging, suicide note, all signs indicate signs of suicide, how dare you make a rash assertion that you killed him?" Xing Hongyi asked.

Qin Hexuan didn't answer, and ordered someone to help re-hang Wei Wenqian on the beam, everyone was displeased, no one stepped forward to help, Ouyang Jincheng whispered a few words to Wu Houcai, and Wu Houcai had to send someone to follow Qin Hexuan's instructions. After hanging up, Qin Hexuan straightened the stool that had fallen to the ground, and everyone suddenly realized.

I saw the corpse hanging in the air, and the toes naturally drooped, but it was still a few inches away from the stool.

"Two people died in one night, and this treasure island can't stay. I'm sorry, Master Wu, I'll go first, and I won't participate in the next treasure appreciation conference. Knowing that Wei Wenqian was also murdered, Qi Qiang finally couldn't hold back the fear in his heart and shouted. After saying that, he rushed out of the room and went back to his room to pack his bags.

"Come on, go and appease the owner of Qi Village. Wu Houcai hurriedly ordered his subordinates to follow Qi Qiang, and then ordered another group of people to take all the guests back to the room to rest first. Everyone returned to the house with a worried heart, among which Xing Hongyi was also upset because he had already caught the treasure, and the rest of the people were still hesitating, after all, the next treasures may be even rarer.

"Ouyang Shenzhuo, what do you think of now? Are you a dragon and a god? I invited you to come just to prevent emergencies, you have to hurry up and think about catching the murderer, otherwise there will be people in my Jubaozhuang who dare to come in the future?" After everyone left, Wu Houcai asked Ouyang Jincheng in a low voice.

"Master Wu, such a tragic incident happened on the island, Jin Cheng is also very sad, and he will do his best to arrest the murderer, hoping that the owner of the village will try his best to cooperate with us in investigating the case. Now I want to check the two bodies of Wei Wenqian and Lu Xingxue first. Ouyang Jincheng arched his hand.

"Okay, if you need my help, just ask. After speaking, Wu Houcai left a few servants to obey Ouyang Jincheng's dispatch and left on his own.

"Oh no, no, owner. Half an hour later, a servant ran into the village shouting.

"What's the fuss, don't think it's messy enough today?" Wu Houcai was just about to sit down to rest and drink a sip of tea, when he was startled by the startled servant and said angrily.

He just accompanied the owner of Qi Zhuang to send him on the boat, but when he was about to set sail, the wind blew, and the mast broke, and then he found that the rudder was gone. The servant said.

"What?!" Wu Houcai jumped up.

"What? The ship won't go?"

"It must have been the murderer. ”

"He's trying to wipe us out. ”

"What should I do? I don't want to die yet. ”

"Wu Houcai, you come out and give an explanation. ”

"Wu Houcai, are you trying to make money and kill yourself?"

Knowing that the ship was destroyed, everyone, including all the guests and domestic servants, completely broke out in fear, gathered in the treasure hall, and shouted for Wu Houcai to come out and give an explanation.

Wu Houcai was also anxious at this time, thinking that he had been helped by his benefactor, and had founded the Treasure Appreciation Conference for several sessions, and no such thing had ever happened.

"Ahem, cough, all the noble friends are angry, don't be impatient, first of all, Wu swears that the murderer is not in the name of the ancestors, down to the future generations, everyone please be relieved, it is in order to prevent extraordinary things from happening during the treasure appreciation, Wu specially invited the dragon to come to the town, I believe, it will soon be revealed. Besides, I have sent the fastest Haidongqing to Runzhou to rearrange the ship to the island, and I only hope that your friends will endure for a few more days. Wu Houcai sorted out his clothes, came to the treasure hall, and explained to everyone.

"How is it?Ouyang Shenzhuo, what have you discovered?" Seeing that everyone was a little calmer, Wu Houcai asked Ouyang Jincheng.

"I have some clues, but in order to reassure everyone's fears, I will first publish some of our findings and inferences. Ouyang Jincheng said.

"First of all, I don't want to be alarmist, but I have to say that the perpetrators of this serial murder are among all of you. ”

Speaking of this, there has been a commotion around, although everyone has speculated in their hearts that the murderer is around, but this time through Ouyang Jincheng's mouth said it even more firmly in their hearts.

Ouyang Jincheng continued: "Let's talk about the dart head first. I told you before that Xiang Dart died of cardiac arrest, probably due to a heart attack caused by overstimulation of nerves. But afterwards, according to the death of the owner of the Lu Courtyard and the owner of Wei Zhuang, I estimate that the cause of Xiang Dart's death is not so simple, and it is not surprising that it is also from the murderer, but so far the murderer has still not been able to find the murderer's means of murder. ”

"At the time of Xiang Dart's death, except for Steward Zhao, everyone else had an alibi. And Steward Zhao also concealed something when he described the time when he went to call Xiang Dart, don't you say, Steward Zhao?"

"What? I'm not hiding anything. Zhao He vehemently denied it.

"Steward Zhao, if you don't tell the truth now, I think we may have to detain you for interrogation. You see, under the law of our dynasty, murder is a felony. Ouyang Jincheng said with a smile.

"Zhao He, you tell me honestly, what's going on!" Wu Houcai raised his eyebrows and said.

"This, hey, well, I said. Zhao He sighed, "Yesterday, I came to the outside of Xiang Dart's house, and I did hear the sound of beds swaying and women moaning in the house, and then I secretly opened the crack in the door, just to see Xiang Darthead doing things with Persian women, and I wanted to leave, but I saw a money on the table to redeem the ticket, and I saw that the wealth was rising, thinking that anyway, now the other party is deaf to foreign objects, and I sneaked in to take the exchange ticket must be unaware." I slipped away after taking it, and I don't know what happened next. That's it, it's all truth. Now the redemption is still in my room. ”

"Zhao He, Zhao He, you actually did such a bad thing!" Wu Houcai couldn't hide his anger, "Come on, take down Zhao He, and the family law will be heavily responsible." ”

"The owner of the village spares his life, and the owner of the village spares his life. In a wail, Zhao He was escorted away by his family.

"Ouyang Shenzhuo, since the murderer is not Zhao He, who else?" asked Wu Houcai.

"As I said, except for Zhao He, everyone else had an alibi when Xiang Dart was killed, so Xiang Dart should have died by some kind of timed murder method, as for what I can't say now. And the death time of Xiang Zhuang and Lu Zhuang is late at night, and everyone is asleep during this time, and anyone can get up and kill someone, so everyone is a suspect, including me, of course. Ouyang Jincheng said with a smile.

"I would suggest that until the killer has been identified, it is best for everyone not to leave the island. So as not to let the murderer escape and get away with it. Ouyang Jincheng looked around and said.

Hearing this, everyone was angry and discussed:

"Ouyang Jincheng, I don't want to stay here any longer, maybe I'll be the next one to die if I stay any longer. ”

"Yes, you are too selfish to sacrifice everyone in order to catch the murderer?"

"Master Wu Zhuang, when will the new ship in Runzhou arrive?"

"Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, Haidongqing can deliver the information to Runzhou in one day at the earliest, plus a three-day boat ride, and the new ship can arrive in four days at the earliest. Wu Houcai hurriedly reassured.

As he spoke, he saw a Hai Dongqing fly into the village and land in front of Wu Houcai, "Huh, why did you reply so quickly?" Wu Houcai took off the letterbox on Hai Dongqing's feet, took out the letter, and suddenly his face was completely bloody.

Seeing this, Ouyang Jincheng hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that the letter read: "The Runzhou government seized a corpse yesterday, and it has been verified that it is the head of the Tianwu Dart Bureau. ”
