Card Room - 344. Mime private 494

[Chapter 494, Who is lying]

The group of six went back to the inn one after another, and each went to their room and locked the door.

There was no one outside, and Yu Hanjiang pressed the voice headset to convene a meeting with everyone. He whispered: “Today I found a lot of clues to the murder of Gui Suo. Everyone talked about their own thoughts and brainstorming.”

Such a scene reminded him of the criminal police team meeting to discuss the murderer every time. Although the teammates are not professional criminal investigators, they have experienced so many secret rooms together, and the teammates have made great progress. Especially Xiao Lou, he wanted to hear Xiao Lou’s opinion.

Looking at Shangyu Hanjiang’s gaze, Xiao Lou said: “The murderer’s method of committing the crime was to use a strange sorcery to attract people to the mass graves in the middle of the night. This evil method is probably related to the sound of the rattle. He After leading people to the mass graves, they will not be killed directly, but tortured and starved to death in panic and starvation.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “The murderer’s psychology has been distorted. He did not commit impulsive crimes, but planned and cautiously kills. He also arranged a way out for himself, pretending to be a female ghost in white, and convinced the residents of the small town that the ghost was killing him. legend.”

Xiao Lou went on to say: “We found an unnamed solitary grave in the mass grave. The location of the grave is excellent. There are people who keep offering incense, and the people buried in it should be very close to the murderer. Plus. According to the clues of the famine period, the most reasonable speculation is that in the famine 20 years ago, a mysterious organization used the method of “captive animal husbandry” to eat human flesh and drink human blood. The murderer’s relatives, or himself, had Being kept in captivity and tortured by this organization, the murderer escaped a catastrophe, and returned to retaliate years later, killing all those involved in this incident, and even all their offspring.”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou sang a harmony, and tacitly summarized the logic of the current case.

These are the most reasonable motives for the crime that the two people speculated and analyzed based on the clues investigated. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a simple “anti-social perverted murderer” to explain all these actions of the murderer.

Liu Qiao doubted: “The rattle should be the key factor in this case. The rattle patterns we found in the Zhao and Chen families are all tigers, but the investigation proves that the zodiac of the children of the Zhao and Chen families are not tigers. Suppose the rattle is a tiger. What the murderer left behind, the murderer’s current age, may he be a 29-year-old or 41-year-old young man?”

Long Sen said: “Mayor Qin Feng, he should be about 29 years old. He has not married a wife and had children so far. He lives alone in a dark alley, which is not quite right. Today we fished out a corpse from the lake. He didn’t continue the investigation. Although he is not the murderer, this person always finds it strange.”

Xiao Lou said calmly: “Qin Feng probably witnessed something during the famine 20 years ago, and reasoned out the logic of the murderer’s crime. In his roster, many people have not died yet, indicating that he has tracked the murderer’s crime. And the motive, the person he recorded who was not hit by the red cross was probably the name of the person the murderer was about to kill. As for the girl’s Shenhu case today, he would not let us investigate. This abnormal behavior may be him and the second person. The cases are also related.”

Long Sen scratched his head: “I’m really not good at using my brain. I can’t figure out what the names of those people who haven’t died are. Only when Professor Xiao said this, I understood!”

Qu Wanyue joked: “You only need to be responsible for running errands and listening.”

Long Sen: “…”

Liu Qiao actively participated in the discussion. She said, “The letter left by the seniors is very important. On the day of the incident, they said that they saw five people in white clothes. The murderer is related.” She paused: “But, who is lying?”

Xiao Lou said: “Of the five people, four said that they heard the thunder, and one said that they didn’t hear… the one who didn’t hear is definitely the truth. Because, in the ghost town at that time, the thunder lasted for a short time after the heavy rain. The five people live far away, and it is impossible for Li Gui to appear in five places at the same time when thunder sounds.”

Yu Hanjiang quickly drew the coordinates of the residence of the five people on a blank piece of paper.

Old Bo Liu and Ersao Xue live close to the southeast.

Zhang Chengyu and Lin Yueran are relatively close, in the northwest.

The proprietress Qin Ruolan lives in the center of the town.

The five people just form a “ring” shape.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiaolou, pointed to Old Uncle Liu at the far east, and analyzed: “Old Uncle Liu was awakened by thunder and saw a female ghost flying by the door. This witness has passed away three years ago. What he said should be Is it credible?”

Qu Wanyue remembered the news that she had just received, and then said: “We asked the neighbors nearby. Ersao Xue was also awakened by thunder. She remarried and went to another place two years ago. She lived very close to Old Man Liu, if Old Man Liu said The truth is true, and the testimony of Ersao Xue is also true. The thunder continued for a few seconds, and the female ghost took a short cut and could walk from the east to the southeast, so that Old Man Liu and Ersao Xue could see it one after another?”

Liu Qiao said: “If Old Man Liu, Ersao Xue, and Mrs. Boss have all told the truth, the remaining two should not hear the thunder.”

The area of the small town is very large. If Li Gui appeared in the east area, it would not be possible to appear in the west area at the same time. It takes at least half an hour to walk from the east side to the west side.

Are both of them lying?

Xiao Lou glanced at the graph on the table again, and said: “It is unlikely that the two will lie at the same time. Moreover, the butcher Lin Yueran’s son also came out to testify, saying that she saw a female ghost during the thunder that night, and the female ghost appeared. It’s still thundering at the same time, and the child doesn’t seem to be lying.”

Liu Qiao was stunned: “So, the result of our reasoning is wrong?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “The murderer in a case should be the only one. Among the five people, there is more than one who lied, but there must be only one murderer.”

The teammates were all dizzy.

Five people were scattered everywhere, and the thunder only lasted 3 to 5 seconds.

If the female ghost appeared in the Eastern District during a thunderstorm, then the two in the Western District were lying; if it appeared in the Western District, the two in the Eastern District were lying.

If the murderer will split and appear in the eastern and western districts at the same time, why not one more split and appear in the central district? Therefore, the testimony of the proprietress is the most credible. If she was a murderer, she would definitely follow the trend and say that she also heard thunder.

Who is lying?

Everyone was racking their brains and thinking, and Yu Hanjiang suddenly said, “I know who it is.”

Xiao Lou looked at him and pointed to a person’s name on the paper he drew: “This one?”

The corners of Yu Hanjiang’s lips lightly raised: “Same as I thought.”

Long Sen was still bewildered: “Who the hell is it?”

Liu Qiao also reacted and calmly analyzed: “By the way, our reasoning just now set a prerequisite, that is, on the premise that “the dead old man Liu did not lie,” Xue Er’s words are true. But if Did Old Uncle Liu lie? Compared with children, I am more willing to believe that children did not lie.”

Xiao Lou praised: “How can a dead person lie? Most people think so. We preconceived the testimony of Old Uncle Liu as the basis for our reasoning. But from the perspective of the murderer-the dead person lied, isn’t it true that the dead person lied?”

Old Uncle Liu is a bit confused when he is getting older. Besides, it is easy for old people to add fuel and jealousy when telling ghost stories. In addition, the old man died three years ago, and the cause of death is still a mystery.

Xiao Lou paused, and then said: “Xue Ersao remarried and went to another place shortly after the crime occurred. It seems that it has nothing to do with this incident. But is it not a means of “escape the golden cicada from the shell”? She saw a female ghost on the night of the crime. One of her witnesses, and later remarried and went to another place. Who would suspect her?”

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: “Have you found out which family Xue Er’s wife had remarried to?”

Qu Wanyue said: “The neighbors don’t know, only that she packed up her baggage and remarried to another place. She is a widow, her husband died early, and she doesn’t like to interact with people.”

It seems that the remarriage is also what she said herself, without any proof.

Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully: “What is Ersao Xue’s real name? Everyone calls her Ersao Xue, it must be because she married a local man named Xue. But what is her true origin?”

Her true origin may be the murderer of revenge.

Everyone looked at each other.

Xiao Lou was silent for a moment, and suddenly worried and said, “By the way, the letter left by Senior Gui only mentions that he went to the world three years ago with Brother Jiu, Mr. Tang, and Hua Ying. What about Mr. Shao and Xiaoye? Why can’t I still contact him? arrive?”

Yu Hanjiang patted him on the shoulder and comforted: “Don’t worry, Mr. Shao has the two Tao Yuanming transmissions you gave to him. They also have one of them and an insect king card to transform into. Their names are still on your contract. Now, it must be safe at the moment. Perhaps, they have also been teleported to another time and space?”

Xiao Lou was stunned: “The time and space related to the case…couldn’t it be the famine world 20 years ago?”

At the same time, Ye Qi and Shao Qingge took the mother and son to the woods with no one nearby, and asked carefully about the famine in Qingfeng Town.

Shao Qingge asked in a low voice, “How long has the famine happened? Why don’t you flee elsewhere?”

The woman paled and her voice was weak: “It’s the same in other places! In March this year, the harvest was less than 10% of last year’s crop. Those rich people have a good time with food. We ordinary people, family members, I only have enough food for a month or two. Even if I drink porridge every day, now, there is not even a grain of rice left in the rice jar…”

At this point, the woman couldn’t help but choked up: “Escape, where else can I go? I can’t walk without food. I have pity for my young child, I can’t even drink a sip of milk…”

The baby in her arms cried for a moment, and now it seems that she doesn’t even have the strength to cry.

Obviously, the famine had happened for a period of time. The food stocks of ordinary people’s homes had been exhausted. The woman’s complexion was sallow and skinny. The child in her arms did not seem to weigh five kilograms. A small mass was particularly pitiful.

Ye Qi was a little bit sad, and didn’t dare to help the other party with foods like bread and milk that did not belong to this era. He had to say softly: “Sorry, we didn’t bring food either.”

A trace of disappointment flashed in the woman’s eyes, holding her child and continuing to look for bark in the woods.

Shao Qingge took Ye Qi forward for a certain distance, and stopped at the door of the town. He looked back at the boy beside him, and asked distressedly: “Back in the nightmare secret room, you also lived by eating leaves. ?”

Ye Qi said with a bitter face: “Yes, so I can understand the feelings of these people. Extreme hunger can make people go crazy. Eating leaves and grass can satisfy their hunger. You don’t have to think about the taste. However, people who eat human flesh. I can’t do it… by the way!” He suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Shao Qingge and said, “I was teleported to twenty years ago. Could it be for us to investigate the famine? Related clues?”

Shao Qingge nodded: “It should be. I can’t contact other people. It seems that only the two of us were transmitted to 20 years ago. Fortunately, we have a supply card and some money with us. At least we won’t be starved to death. .”

He frowned and glanced at the messy Qingfeng Town.

The streets of the town were very desolate. No pedestrians were seen. The doors of every house were closed. Everywhere there were traces of smashed and looted. Shao Qingge lowered his voice: “Since it’s here, we will find a way to get in as soon as possible and investigate. The matter of keeping people and animals in captivity. You have to dress up first, and wear such brand-new clothes to the town. It’s too eye-catching.”

The two of them hid near the town, smeared some mud on their clothes, made some weeds around their mouths, pretending that they had been hungry for several days. Ye Qi didn’t know where to find a broken bowl, and seemed to be going to the town. Begging.

Shao Qingge said: “Let’s go.”

He took a look at Ye Qi’s youthful appearance, and looked at this messy “little beggar”, a smile appeared in his eyes: “I will play as brothers this time. The age difference between father and son is not big enough.”

Ye Qi nodded, and followed behind him to complain: “Well, calling your brother, it’s better to accept than calling your dad.”

Shao Qingge: “…”
