Card Room - 359. Mime private 511
【Chapter 511, Suspicious Person】
Qu Wanyue looked at the scene in the house and was taken aback. She immediately told Xiao Lou what she had seen: “Professor Xiao, the bride was hung on a hanging beam, motionless. She should be dead.”
Xiao Lou was stunned, then looked back at Yu Hanjiang: “Why is it so fast? Didn’t she just return to her new house after paying her respects?”
Yu Hanjiang frowned and remained silent for a moment, before saying, “Our guess is very likely to be wrong.”
According to the description of the incident by the residents of the town, the bride returned to the new house after visiting the church. The bridegroom drank with the guests in the backyard. He did not return to the house drunk until early in the morning, and then found that the bride committed suicide by hanging beams—according to this sequence of events. , Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang both believed that the bride was killed by the murderer among the guests while the groom was toasting.
From the end of the worship hall to the discovery of the bride’s body, there was an hour, that is, two hours. The murderer had plenty of time to plan to kill the bride. This is why Xiaolou and Yu Hanjiang lie on the roof as soon as they entered the yard, staring at the guest seats intently. They want to keep the most of them by carefully observing the expressions and movements of the guests. A possible murderer.
However, during the few minutes they were observing on the roof, there was nothing unusual about the guest seats, and all seats were seated, proving that no one had left during this time.
Without leaving the guest seat, you can never kill people in the air, so the murderer should not be among the guests.
Who will kill the bride?
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang are both thinking about this question, Qu Wanyue’s voice sounded in the headphones: “Professor Xiao, there is no one in the new house. Do you want to come here for an autopsy?”
Xiao Lou returned to his senses and said softly, “Okay, let’s pass.”
He asked Liu Qiao and Lao Mo to stay on the roof and stare at the guest seats, while he and Yu Hanjiang turned over from the roof and walked quickly from the path behind the yard to the new house.
The distance between the backyard and the new house is about 50 meters. If the bride screams after spotting the murderer, the guests will definitely hear it. According to the description of the residents in the small town, the bride had committed suicide, indicating that she did not make a cry for help when she was killed.
As Yu Hanjiang walked, he observed the surrounding environment. There was an artificial pond in the backyard with lotus flowers. In the early spring, the lotus leaves hadn’t bloomed yet. A large lot of lotus leaves covered the top of the pond. With the hazy moonlight, the water could be seen faintly. Very clear.
Xiao Lou noticed Yu Hanjiang’s thoughts and responded in his mind: “The pond of the Long family is very large, and there are so many lotus leaves that can be used as a natural barrier. Do you suspect that the murderer is lurking in the pond?”
Yu Hanjiang nodded: “No one from the guest seats left midway, and the murderer is definitely not among the guests. Since the murderer is very watery, hiding in a hidden pond in advance is indeed a good choice.”
Xiao Lou glanced at the pond covered with lotus leaves, and said softly into the earphones: “Let’s go for an autopsy first. Lao Mo continues to stare at the guests, Xiao Liu, you transform into a mermaid princess, and then put on an invisibility cloak to take a look. Look. Be safe.”
Liu Qiao responded quickly: “Received.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang turned and walked to the door of the new house. Long Qu and the two had turned into the color of the wall, and their bodies were attached to the wall. Seeing them coming, Long Sen said, “There is no one in the house, and those matchmakers and maids don’t know where they are. , Leaving the bride hung on the hanging beam.”
Hearing “Wall” suddenly speak, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have long been used to it. Xiao Lou said to the wall on the right, “Thank you two to look at the door. Someone is here and inform us with headphones. I will go in with Hanjiang and take a look.”
Qu Wanyue’s voice came from the wall on the left: “Okay, be careful.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang opened the door gently, and as soon as they entered, they saw the bride in a red wedding gown hung from the hanging beam, her tongue sticking out of her mouth, her body stiff, and her breath was long gone.
The bright red wax was lit in the room, and the swaying candlelight reflected the pale face of the bride, and the appearance of the woman sticking out her tongue looked a little horrible. The eyes widened, as if staring at Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang intently.
Fortunately, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang had excellent psychological qualities. When they met the bride’s eyes, Yu Hanjiang flew up and put the bride down from the hanging beam. Xiao Lou took a step forward and carefully observed the traces on the neck of the corpse, and quickly came to the conclusion: “Judging from the features on the surface of the corpse, Lin Wanqing was indeed hanged.”
This conclusion surprised the teammates, but everyone quickly calmed down-on the surface, it does not represent the truth.
Yu Hanjiang said, “You mean, didn’t she hang on a hanging beam after being strangled to death?”
Xiao Lou pointed to the mark on her neck and said, “If the hanging body is strangled to death, since the blood flow has stopped when it is hung on the suspension beam, the position of the suspension will show horizontal, even, and locked strangles; and People who commit suicide by hanging themselves are still alive when hanging on a suspended beam, and blood flow is blocked. The constriction formed on the neck should be the darkest at the bottom, spreading to both sides, and the color becomes lighter as it goes up, which is consistent with the traces on Lin Wanqing’s neck. Moreover, due to lack of oxygen, her body showed obvious bluish-purple corpse spots, and the toes of her feet were completely drooped, all of which are in line with the characteristics of the hanged dead.”
In the previous case, Yu Hanjiang heard Xiao Lou talk about the difference between “hanging suicide” and “strangling a person before hanging them.” Take a closer look, the marks on Lin Wanqing’s neck really don’t look like a corpse hanging after being strangled to death.
Yu Hanjiang said: “But there are also two situations in which you hang yourself. One is to hang yourself, and the other is to hang yourself forcibly by the murderer. I prefer the latter.”
Xiao Lou also thought of this, and nodded: “The murderer should have quickly subdued her by hiding in the dark, and then hung her from the hanging beam, making her unable to call for help and struggle, and was hanged alive. You see, she hanged herself. The way is a little strange.”
Yu Hanjiang said: “Ordinary people use white silk to hang themselves. She uses hair…such long hair is not her own.”
Xiao Lou frowned and looked at the braid hanging on the hanging beam. He remembered that the hairs of all the women at the bottom of Zuiyue Lake were tied together by water plants. He thoughtfully said: “The murderer seems to have a strange attachment to’hair’. Read. The braid that hangs Lin Wanqing is more than two meters long, isn’t it? Normally women don’t keep their hair so long. This braid is probably made of several people’s hair and mixed with special materials. .”
Xiao Lou leaned over to check the scars on the neck of the deceased. At this moment, the female corpse lying on the ground disappeared like a ghost, followed by the red curtain of the new house suddenly flying into the air.
Those red cloths quickly surrounded the two of them as if they were spiritual.
Xiao Lou was taken aback: “A hunter?!”
A cold light suddenly appeared in Yu Hanjiang’s eyes. He put his arm around Xiao Lou’s waist and quickly retreated, and the saber in the other hand slashed cleanly–however, these red cloths were made of no material, so he couldn’t use a knife. Split.
Seeing that the two were about to be wrapped in red cloth like rice dumplings, Lao Mo’s voice suddenly sounded in the headphones: “All the guests in the backyard are gone, and they disappear in place, just like a movie.”
Qu Wanyue said nervously, “Professor Xiao, the candle in the room has gone out. Did something happen?”
Xiao Lou calmed down quickly: “Be careful, everyone, here are all hunters!”
Qu Wanyue and Long Sen wanted to come in to help, but found that the door of the room was like a copper wall and could not be opened at all.
At this moment, the entire courtyard suddenly ignited a big fire. The roof of the building where Lao Mo was located was instantly flooded by the fire, and Lao Mo screamed as he was scalded by the heat waves rising into the sky.
At the same time, dense arrows shot towards the new house where Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were located.
Qu Wanyue and Long Sen were shocked. Although they could use the chameleon card to disguise the colors of the surrounding environment, at this time, they were sticking to the wall and could not be seen on the surface, but their bodies actually existed.
With so many arrows, wouldn’t they be shot as hedgehogs if they continue to stick to the wall?
Qu Wanyue made a decisive decision and directly opened the Dance Ace Card. With the blessing of the Dance King buff, her body was as flexible as a fish, and she quickly sprinted to the distance against the ground. Long Sen was not as flexible as her, but at the critical moment, Long Sen did not react slowly. He immediately opened the zombie jump card, making his legs become eight meters long in an instant, and jumped into the air, avoiding all the sharp arrows.
A dense rain of arrows shot past him, and Long Sen was falsely alarmed. Looking back, he and Qu Wanyue couldn’t open the copper wall and iron wall, could actually be shot through by sharp arrows?
Long Sen was stunned. Seeing the sharp arrow shot into the house, he hurriedly shouted: “Team Yu, Professor Xiao, are you all right?!”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were also in a bad situation at this time. They were completely obscured by the red curtain.
The two-meter-high red cloth surrounds them in the center. The red cloth continuously rotates like a red tornado. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang can’t see anything, let alone Long Sen and Qu Wanyue outside. Hedgehog.
However, Yu Hanjiang’s ears are extremely sensitive-his eyes cannot see, but his ears heard the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air!
Before he could speak, he saw Xiao Lou decisively take out the compasses and quickly drew a circle on the ground–they connected to his heart, and Yu Hanjiang didn’t need to speak. Xiao Lou also noticed the sharp arrow in his mind.
Due to time constraints, the two have no time to communicate, but their tacit understanding does not require verbal communication at a critical moment.
The diameter of the circle drawn by Xiao Lou was only about one meter in diameter. Yu Hanjiang stepped back, sticking to Xiao Lou tightly back to back, hiding in this invincible circle that lasted 10 minutes.
Almost as soon as Xiao Lou finished drawing the circle of invincibility, those sharp arrows pierced the red cloth and shot at the transparent barrier.
Xiao Lou saw this scene, his heart beating.
Had it not reacted decisively, even if it was only a second away, he and Yu Hanjiang had already been shot into hedgehogs at this time!
Use the red cloth to block their vision, and then shoot the two with arrow rain. The red cloth that cannot be split and the dense arrow rain are definitely card effects, and besides them, only the hunter has it in his hand. Such a powerful card.
The story of getting married just now should be a replay of the scene two years ago, which is the clues about the case provided to them by the night ghost town. But after the replay of the plot ended, the hunters who appeared caught everyone off guard.
Seeing that the enchantment of compasses under his cloth was swamped by dense arrows in a blink of an eye, Xiao Lou felt lingering, and he was slightly relieved-at least, the sharp arrows could not shoot through the enchantment of compasses.
Xiao Lou held down the voice headset: “Are you all right?”
Qu Wanyue and Long Sen replied: “It’s okay, I run fast.” “I’m okay, I jumped on the tree.”
Liu Qiao said: “In the pond…”
Before she finished her voice, there was a piercing “crash” in the earphones, as if something was surging wildly in the water. Liu Qiao was shocked: “There are a lot of water ghosts here. I don’t know if it is card effect or hunting. Pretending to be!”
Xiao Lou suffocated his breath and said hurriedly, “Xiao Liu, come out!”
Liu Qiao gritted her teeth. Fortunately, she opened the Mermaid Princess card, swimming so fast that she was not entangled by those things. Seeing those strange-shaped water ghosts, Liu Qiao decisively took out Aisha and directly activated the ice and snow skills, freezing the entire pond.
At the moment when the pool was frozen into ice, Liu Qiao flew up lightly and jumped out of the pond in a thrilling manner.
The water ghosts in the pool have all turned into ice sculptures.
Liu Qiao exhaled softly: “Almost followed their way, this group of people is so insidious that they are hiding under the lotus leaf!”
Yu Hanjiang asked: “Are you okay?”
Liu Qiao said, “I’m fine. By the way, where is Uncle Mo?”
There was no response in the headset, Xiao Lou worried: “Old Mo?”
Qu Wanyue also became nervous: “I just saw that the house where Lao Mo was on fire?”
After a while, Old Mo’s hoarse voice sounded in the earphones: “Cough cough cough, the house suddenly caught fire and I was almost charred… Fortunately, I made a closed box of marble and hid.”
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou are the safest at this time. After all, the circle of invincibility can last for 10 minutes. During this time, no one can break through the protection of the circle of invincibility.
The surrounding red curtains were still spinning around, making people dizzy. Yu Hanjiang closed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: “You four, be careful, hide from the hunters. Xiao Liu Qinggong is the fastest, turning through the treetops. Go out, find a place to put Li Qingzhao’s mark and send us.”
Liu Qiao said: “I understand.”
Yu Hanjiang followed in his mind and said: “I guess the murderer of the Shenhu case.”
Xiao Lou was startled: “From which detail did you find it?”
Yu Hanjiang said, “Hang Lin Wanqing’s hair, don’t you think that this method of braiding is a bit like vines?”
Xiao Lou suddenly realized.
Although the vines on the cliffs of the back mountain have been destroyed, Xiao Lou still remembers that the vines were extremely strong and were woven together with weeds and branches. The same weaving technique was used to hang Lin Wanqing’s hair.
