Card Room - 340. Mime private 490

【Chapter 490, Suspicious Points】

Tang Ci placed the drone on the tallest tree, adjusted the angle of the lens downward, just to capture the panoramic view of Zhao’s courtyard. With the other end of the drone in his hand, he can monitor Zhao’s situation at any time through his cards.

However, after Qin Feng and Xiao Ming left, no one entered Zhao’s house again. The footage captured by the drone is always an empty courtyard, with no human beings visible.

Lu Jiuchuan frowned: “Who arranged the Zhao family’s mourning hall?”

Tang Ci said: “At present, the whereabouts of the people of the Zhao family are unknown. Even if there are relatives who set up the mourning hall, it will not be set up on the first day of their disappearance. At least they must be confirmed that they are dead before they will be placed in their spiritual position. I It is estimated that it will take at least three days.”

“In other words, we have to keep monitoring the Zhao family these few days before we can find the person who arranged the mourning hall?” Lu Jiuchuan paused, and then said, “If he only gives Zhao family members at night every time. Xiang, Xiao Lou and the others were sent to the ghost town at night, and they would definitely not meet each other, so we can only investigate who this person is.”

“That’s right.” Tang Ci said calmly, “We came three years ago, and we could find some clues that Professor Xiao could not investigate. In addition to the person who arranged the mourning hall for the Zhao family, there was also’Li Guisuo Don’t you think there is a problem with the origin of the legend?”

“Many people say they saw Li ghost last night.” Chu Huaying’s voice came through the earphones, and she said, “But the first person to say that he saw Li ghost last night was Old Uncle Liu who lives near the East City. This old man is the oldest in the town. He is 80 years old and his old eyes are dim, so when he said that he saw ghosts, many people didn’t believe it.”

“But later, a few young people and children also said that they saw the rumors of Li ghosts, and the rumors that Li ghosts were killing their lives became more and more bizarre.” Gui Yuanzhang added.

“Specifically, who said they saw the female ghost in white, when and where, have you investigated it carefully?” Tang Ci asked in a low voice.

“Of course. When I visited the small town just now, I wrote down the names of all the people who said,’I saw Li Gui last night’.” Chu Huaying doesn’t need to use paper and pen, she just writes things in her head. All the qualities of her body have been strengthened, and her memory is several times better than the average person.

Chu Huaying closed his eyes, carefully sorted out the information in his mind, and said: “In addition to the first mention of Ligui, Zhang Chengyu, the hunter who lives in the west of the city; Qin Ruolan, the owner of a clothing store in the north of the city; Lin Yueran and his 7-year-old child Lin Doudou; and Ersao Xue, who sells tofu in Chengdong.”

When Tang Ci heard this, he couldn’t help but wonder: “There are people in the east, west, south, and north who have witnessed the female ghost in white?”

Chu Huaying nodded and said, “It should be the murderer who deliberately swayed the entire town so that people from all directions can see Li Gui’s figure. This will also facilitate him to create a public opinion of’Li Gui killing his life’.”

Tang Ci asked, “When did these people see Li Gui?”

Chu Hua expressed regret in English: “When I saw a ghost in the middle of the night, I was frightened. No one can tell the specific time, but everyone saw it after the rain stopped. The rain stopped at Yin Shi.”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “In other words, Zhao Zean, the second lady of the Zhao family, married at the Yin time on July 14, and Chen Yu’s wife gave birth to the child at the same time. Chen Yu and Zhao Ze then walked out of the town one after another, Chen Yu To burn the paper, Zhao Ze went on a date with the mysterious man. At the same time, a white-clothed ghost with a beaten head appeared in the small town, and then the Zhao family and the Chen family disappeared collectively.”

Tang Ci said: “In this way, the suspicion of the masked man who had a private meeting with Zhao Zesui is greatly reduced. It is impossible for him to go on a date with Zhao Ze while pretending to be a ghost, wandering around the town for a whole circle, letting different people find out. .”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “Xiao Ming’s suspicion is not big. Last night was the day when he got married. According to his description, he was in Yuezhou waiting for the welcoming team. He waited until the auspicious time had passed and there was no shadow of the bride. , He first sent someone back to Qingfeng Town to look for it. After learning that the bride was missing, he hurried to Qingfeng Town early the next morning.”

Tang Ci agreed: “I also think that the possibility of Xiao Ming committing a crime is very low. As the groom’s official, once he disappears, he is easy to be found. Moreover, if he comes to Qingfeng Town halfway to play a ghost and kill, and then return to Yuezhou, After that, he went back to Qingfeng Town to look for someone to act, but there was no time.”

It’s not the groom’s official Xiao Ming, or the mysterious masked man who had a private meeting with Miss Zhao. Who was it that pretended to be a ghost and murdered last night? All four fell silent. After a while, Lu Jiuchuan asked, “Where is the mayor Qin Feng?”

“It doesn’t look like it on the surface, but we don’t have definite evidence.” Tang Ci paused and suggested, “Well, he is now investigating the missing residents in the small town. The residence in Xiushui Lane must be empty. Let’s go again and check his secret room carefully?”

Lu Jiuchuan simply nodded: “Let’s go, hurry up.”

Following the path in memory, the two quickly came to Xiushui Alley and sneaked into Qin Feng’s residence.

After arriving in the study, Tang Ci walked quickly to the bookcase-he remembered that there was a thick book “Compendium of Materia Medica” in the middle of the bookcase. As long as the book was pulled out, the bookshelves would spread out on both sides, revealing a secret room.

Tang Ci gently pulled out the book, but to his surprise, the bookshelf in front of him remained motionless.

Lu Jiuchuan was stunned: “Where is the secret room? Isn’t the institution three years ago this book?”

Tang Ci frowned and looked around, trying to pull out other books, but there was still no response from the bookshelf. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the surrounding wall carefully, and did not hear any echo.

Tang Ci said confidently: “Three years ago, there was no secret room in this study. In other words, when the serial murder occurred, Qin Feng didn’t use the secret room to hide the rattle of the whole room.”

Lu Jiuchuan’s expression changed, and he said, “Go to his bedroom and see if the roster is available.”

The two walked quickly into the next bedroom-the wooden cabinet beside the bed was still there, but it was not locked. Lu Jiuchuan opened the cabinet and took out a large number of registers, which really recorded the information of all the residents in the town.

Tang Ci and Lu Jiuchuan each took half of the roster and flipped through them quickly, but they didn’t find the one full of red crosses.

All the rosters look normal.

The two looked at each other.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and it sounded like they were walking into the yard side by side.

Lu Jiuchuan immediately took Tang Ci and flew to the roof, pricked his ears to listen to the movement in the house.

I just heard Qin Feng say: “Young Master Xiao, do you know any other relatives and friends of the Zhao family in other places?”

Xiao Ming said: “I really don’t know. I met Miss Zhao Jia no more than three times. We were married by the belly… By the way, I heard many people say that ghosts appeared in the town last night, July The fifteenth is the Ghost Festival. Couldn’t it be that the Zhao family did something utterly conscientious and was killed by a ghost?”

Qin Feng smiled and said: “You can’t believe what ghosts and gods say. Let’s do this, Young Master Xiao, go back to the inn and rest first. If you have any news, I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible.”

Xiao Ming nodded, and turned to leave with a solemn expression.

Qin Feng paced back and forth in the study alone, frowning, as if lost in thought. After a while, he took out an empty blue notebook, sat at the desk, lifted the pen, and wrote carefully on it stroke by stroke.

Lu Jiuchuan hid on the roof, through the cracks in the tiles, he could see the name of the person who was missing last night.

Chen Yu’s family consists of eleven people.

Zhao Ze’an has a family of 18 people.

Everyone’s name was recorded in the book upright by him. Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci looked at each other—this is exactly the roster they found in their investigation three years later, but at that time, the roster. The name on has been red crossed.

After returning to the inn, Tang Ci whispered: “Qin Feng should not be the murderer, but has been investigating the murderer.”

Lu Jiuchuan thoughtfully touched his chin, and then said after a moment: “It seems that Qin Feng’s roster records innocent dead people. He has not marked the red cross on the roster just now. Maybe he is not sure about this. Whether a person is dead or not is only recorded as a missing person.”

Tang Ci suddenly thought of a key: “However, on the roster we found, many people were not dead or missing, and they were still alive. Why did Qin Feng write the names of those people?”

Lu Jiuchuan said helplessly: “This has to wait for Xiaolou and the others to investigate. We can’t find out what happened after three years.”

Tang Ci said: “Then how do we leave a clue to Xiao Lou?”

Lu Jiuchuan was also lost in thought.

How can someone three years ago leave clues to their teammates three years later?

Not in the same time and space, they can’t talk directly at all. All team transmissions, voice headsets, and spirituality are all disabled. How do people in the past and people now communicate with each other?

Suddenly, Tang Ci thought of an idea and said, “The roster that Qin Feng started recording three years ago, Xiao Lou and the others can see in three years. If we leave some books, Xiao Lou can also find it in three years. ?”

Lu Jiuchuan’s eyes lit up: “That’s right. The question is how to stay? Where is the safest to stay? Three years, too many changes, if someone takes away the clues we left in the middle, Xiao Lou will probably get nothing. . Moreover, they will be desperate if they cannot find us after dawn.”

At this moment, Gui Yuanzhang suddenly said, “My paintings and calligraphy should be able to come in handy.”

Tang Ci said, “Laogui, what do you want to paint?”

Gui Yuanzhang said: “Draw some pictures, describe the scene three years ago, and then hide them in Xiaolou where they will definitely go, and other people must seldom go—”

The most dangerous place is the safest.

Tang Ci quickly reacted: “You mean, Zhao family, Chen family, two crime scenes?”

Gui Yuanzhang nodded: “Since the Zhao family and the Chen family are rumored to have been killed by ghosts, the residents of Qingfeng Town must not dare to approach these two murderous houses, but Xiaolou and the others will naturally go to the scene to find clues again if they want to investigate. The clues are drawn into paintings and hidden in the Zhao family and the Chen family. Xiaolou and the others will understand what we mean when they go three years later.”
