【Chapter 499, Who is the real murderer】

Chu Huaying returned to the inn after tracking Qin Feng, and downstairs, Gui Yuanzhang's investigation also had results.

The girl who was crying at the Chen family this morning was named Qin Yuxia. She was the sister of the missing Chen Yu’s wife Qin Yuwei. Gui Yuanzhang used Lu Jiuchuan’s [Mask] card to dress up as Qin Feng and went directly to Ask her.

He knocked on the door of the "A" room on the second floor, and sure enough he saw the girl standing at the door with red eyes. When she saw him, she choked and asked, "Brother Qin, is there any news about my sister and her family?"

Gui Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and shook his head solemnly: "Miss Qin, I'm sorry, there are currently no clues about the whereabouts of your sister and brother-in-law. I am sending people to search. I came to you so late because I want to ask questions about the couple. How did we meet? Have you offended anyone? You'd better tell me in detail."

Qin Yuxia had no doubt about the identity of the "Qin Feng" in front of him. He invited him into the room and said with a pale face: "My sister and I are from Qingzhou. The Chen family came to Qingzhou to do business more than ten years ago. Our family We have business contacts. My sister and Brother Chen have known each other since they were young, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The two of them have a deep relationship, and they are well matched. When my sister was eighteen years old, Uncle Chen came to propose marriage with a betrothal gift, and my father agreed to their proposal. marriage."

Gui Yuanzhang asked: "Your family is also in business? Do you have any enemies?"

Qin Yuxia immediately shook his head: "Our Qin family has opened the largest restaurant in Qingzhou. My parents are kind to people, and my sister has a very gentle personality. She shouldn't offend anyone, right?"

"What about the Chen family?"

Qin Yuxia lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I don't know, they came from other places more than ten years ago. Uncle Chen is very business-minded and established a foothold in Qingzhou within three years of coming to Qingzhou."

"The Uncle Chen you are talking about is Chen Yu's father? I heard that he has passed away. Do you know how he died?"

Qin Yuxia's expression changed slightly, as if she had something unspeakable. Guiyuan Zhang said warmly: "This question is related to the reason why your sister and brother-in-law disappeared. You'd better tell me the truth."

Qin Yuxia gritted his teeth and then made up his mind: "Uncle Chen went out to drink with people four years ago. When he came back, he suddenly went crazy. People in the Chen family said he might be possessed by evil spirits. After he went crazy, he bit people everywhere. , Brother Chen had no choice but to tie him up, and in the end, he hit his head against the wall and died, his face was covered in blood, and his death was quite miserable."

"..." I didn't expect Chen Yu's father to die so bizarrely.

"How will his funeral be handled?" Gui Yuanzhang asked.

"I found a cemetery locally and buried her." Qin Yuxia was silent for a moment and then added, "Not long after, Aunt Chen also passed away, and she died in the same way as Uncle Chen. The fortune teller said that the feng shui in their yard was not good, and it was very bad. Maybe he was cursed. My brother-in-law was hit hard and didn’t want to stay in Qingzhou anymore, so he took his sister and moved back to his hometown.”

When Gui Yuanzhang asked, he pressed the team's headset and conveyed the news to Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci.

Hearing this, Tang Ci analyzed in a low voice: "The deaths of the Chen couple are very strange. They bit people like crazy. It feels like some kind of poison has affected their sanity. Could it be the murderer of the 'Li Guisuo Murder Case'?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Chen Yu's parents died, and it was four years ago that the couple moved back to Qingfeng Town. Was it also four years ago that Sister-in-law Xue, also known as Han Ningshuang, married to Qingfeng Town?"

Tang Ci checked the records in the drone. The photographed roster clearly recorded the status of each household in the town. The time when the Chen family moved to Qingfeng Town was indeed exactly the same as the time when Han Ningshuang married to Qingfeng Town.

Tang Ci nodded to Lu Jiuchuan: "It was four years ago. Assuming that Han Ningshuang is the murderer, she committed a crime in Qingzhou City four years ago and killed Chen Yu's parents; shortly afterwards, Chen Yu's family moved back to Qingfeng Town, and she married Xue Zhao, who came from Qingfeng Town, also returned to her hometown. During the past four years, she carefully planned to sort out all the enemies who murdered her mother-in-law during the famine year and clean them out one by one. The cause of her husband's death may not be ordinary. She just married Xue Zhao died of illness not long after arriving in Qingfeng Town, and she became a widow. How could such a coincidence happen? Could it be that Xue Zhao was also poisoned to death by her? "

After all, it would be easy for the person next to her to discover her secret. So she simply poisoned her husband and started doing business in the town as a widow, pretending to be pitiful and weak to lower the people in the town's wariness of her?

The more Lu Jiuchuan thought about it, the more he felt that this speculation was reasonable. How else could he explain so many coincidences? He was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Han Ningshuang's suspicion is indeed getting bigger and bigger."

Gui Yuanzhang thought so too. He looked at the girl in front of him and continued to ask: "Miss Qin, there was a famine in Qingfeng Town more than ten years ago. Was your Qingzhou affected at that time?"

Qin Yuxia was stunned for a moment and looked puzzled: "Famine? Our Qingzhou is a land of plenty and there has never been a famine. However, I heard that there was a famine in some places more than ten years ago and many people died. I don't know the specific places. .”

It seems that after the Chen family left Qingfeng Town, they chose a fertile place to start business. They probably did not tell the locals that they came from Qingfeng Town, which had experienced a famine, to avoid locals suspecting the origin of their money.

Judging from the descriptions of the locals in Qingfeng Town, the Chen family was not considered wealthy before.

But Qin Yuxia said that Uncle Chen was very business-minded and quickly established a foothold in Qingzhou...

Where did he get the funds?

Tang Ci concluded: "Chen Yu's parents should have obtained a large sum of money through dishonorable means during the famine year. They might have also participated in the hound organization and had eaten

Human flesh, drank human blood. After the famine passed, they stayed away from Qingfeng Town and went to other places to do business. Because they had a lot of money, they quickly established themselves in Qingzhou and became attached to the Qin family, a real wealthy local. But for some reason, the murderer also went to Qingzhou and killed Chen Yu's parents. "

Lu Jiuchuan nodded in agreement: "In this case, the entire logical chain will make sense. Han Ningshuang and Qin Feng were both survivors of that year. Han Ningshuang killed Chen Yu's parents in Qingzhou, then returned to Qingfeng Town and transformed into the widow Xue Ersao , continue to clean up the descendants of those sinners. Qin Feng knew that it was her, but because of the relationship back then, he couldn't bear to disclose her crimes? "

The two fell silent, lowering their heads and thinking carefully - although such speculation can explain most of the current doubts, they still feel that something is missing?

Suddenly, Tang Ci thought of something and asked Gui Yuanzhang in the earphone: "By the way, Lao Gui, do you remember that you went to the academy in Qingfeng Town to investigate. The wife of Zhao Zeping, the eldest son of the Zhao family, is also from Qingzhou. It seems... Your surname is Qin?"

Guiyuan Zhang also remembered this matter.

Since someone from the Zhao family arranged the mourning hall for them three years later, placed everyone's memorial tablets, and offered incense to them on time, Xiao Lou speculated that this person was probably the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family who had not appeared in the memorial tablets.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family has a mysterious origin. People in the town only know her surname is Qin. Her surname is the same as Qin Yuxia, and she is from the same hometown. It can't be a coincidence, right?

Gui Yuanzhang asked: "Miss Qin, do you know if there are any other girls named Qin married here in Qingzhou?"

Qin Yuxia said: "Yes, she is a distant relative of our family. According to seniority, I should call her cousin, but our relationship is not very close and we seldom move around. Her name is Qin Yurou, and her family makes silk. She is in business, married to a man named Zhao, I haven’t seen her for many years.”

It is indeed no coincidence that the daughters-in-law of the Zhao family and the Chen family are both from Qingzhou.

The three sisters of the Qin family are relevant figures in the case.

Qin Yurou married Zhao Zeping, the eldest son of Zhao. Now the whole Zhao family is missing. Everyone's tablets are placed in the mourning hall, except for her and her son's names. Is she the survivor who offered incense to the Zhao family?

Qin Yuwei, married to Chen Yu, returned to Qingfeng Town with Chen Yu after his parents died mysteriously. She gave birth to a child on a rainy night when the incident occurred, but immediately afterwards, the Chen family disappeared. Xiao Lou and the others found the bodies of the Chen family in a mass grave.

Qin Yuxia, the youngest, knew that her sister was about to give birth, so she came all the way to Qingfeng Town to visit her. However, when she entered, she found that the house was empty and there was no one there. Therefore, she cried and made a fuss, attracting onlookers, and asked Qin Feng to investigate the matter. thing.

Tang Ci organized the information of these three people and recorded it on paper.

The clues Gui Yuanzhang obtained from Qin Yuxia made Han Ningshuang's suspicions grow stronger, but Lu Jiuchuan did not want to draw rash conclusions. He said: "The letter we left for Xiao Lou should objectively describe what we heard. Don’t attach too much subjective reasoning to the news. I always feel that we seem to have missed something.”

Tang Ci also thought this way. Xiao Lou and the others could not find out what happened when the crime occurred in three years' time and space, but they could find out the behavior of many people after the incident. To determine the murderer, all information must be integrated.

Gui Yuanzhang returned to his room and whispered on the voice channel: "We need to add some more clues to the letter to Xiao Lou. Do you want to go to Zhao's house and have a look?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Tang Ci and I will go there. Get the letter back first and finish the supplement before we talk."

The two put on invisibility cloaks and came to Zhao's house together.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in black and a child of about twelve years old sneaking into Zhao's house mysteriously. She walked into the hall of Zhao's house and took out a large pile of wood from her bag. block, and then write on it expressionlessly with a red pen.

Zhao Zeping’s spiritual place… Zhao Ze’an’s spiritual place…

She wrote very quickly, and in a blink of an eye she had written the names of the entire Zhao family, and arranged them neatly in rows in order of eldest and youngest. Then she lit the incense burner at the front, held three sticks of incense, and knelt down in front of her to worship. .

The child next to her was very pale. She took the child's hand and whispered: "Kneel down and kowtow to your father, grandfather, uncle, and aunt."

The child knelt in front of the coffin, and she kowtowed three times.

Then, she said coldly: "Do you remember the person who killed the whole Zhao family?"

The child choked and said, "Remember."

The woman said: "When you grow up, you must avenge your father and the others, do you understand?"

The child nodded vigorously: "I understand, mother."

She stood up, turned around and left with the child.

Lu Jiuchuan stared at this scene blankly: "Is this person Qin Yurou, the daughter-in-law of Zhao's family, and her child?"

Tang Ci said: "She indeed placed the Zhao family's memorial tablets. It seems that she has been offering incense to the Zhao family in the next few years. Xiao Lou's guess about this matter is correct. "

Lu Jiuchuan said with a smile: "Many of the results speculated by Han Jiang and Xiao Lou are correct. Of course, they will make mistakes occasionally. We will first summarize all the clues we have seen and leave them to analyze."

But at this moment, Tang Ci suddenly asked a question: "Brother Ninth, do you think that the way to clear this secret room may be different from what we thought."

Lu Jiuchuan looked at him doubtfully: "What do you mean?"

Tang Ci said: "Since we came to three years ago and cannot go back to the original world for the time being, can we only wait for Xiao Lou and the others to guess the correct murderer? Could it be... We also need to find out the correct murderer?"

The real murderer, otherwise, he will be trapped in this world forever and have to wait three years to meet Xiao Lou? "

Lu Jiuchuan felt a chill in his heart and didn't know how to refute.

The timeline is different. If Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang pass the customs, can they be taken through the customs together?

If the timeline of the secret room follows normal logic, then they can only meet Xiao Lou three years later. In other words, if they want to wait for Xiao Lou to clear the level, they must wait three years and be in the same world as Xiao Lou before they can clear the level together.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiuchuan was immediately confused: "Either we wait three years and analyze the case with Xiao Lou and the others, or we have to find the murderer at this point in time and clear the border in our own way?"

Tang Ci found a branch, drew a line segment on the ground, marked two points, and carefully analyzed: "We are at time point A, and Xiao Lou is at time point B three years later. What we see now It will take three years to pass everything to Xiao Lou. When we clear the level at time A, we can still leave clues to Xiao Lou at time B to help them clear the level. I think the biggest difficulty in Room K is probably here."

Lu Jiuchuan understood: "That is - the transmission of clues across time?"

Tang Ci nodded: "Otherwise, why would the gatekeeper send us three years ago and let us see too much information? Doesn't this make the reasoning easier?"

Lu Jiuchuan: "......"

Every reasoning relies on Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou. This time the team is transported to different points in time, which is the most severe test for everyone. If they make a mistake in their reasoning, or the clues they pass on are wrong, they may end up identifying the wrong murderer, leading to the demise of the group.

They were three years ago, not in a parallel time and space synchronized with Xiao Lou.

Lu Jiuchuan's face gradually turned ugly.

Tang Ci said calmly: "Now we have two choices. First, we hide our identity and wait for three years to meet up with Xiao Lou. Second, on the premise that we are sure that the reasoning is correct, we will clear the customs first and give Xiao Lou They left complete clues to help them pass the level in three years. Which one do you choose?"

Lu Jiuchuan pressed his temples with a headache. He doesn't have the patience to stay in this world for three years. The speed of time in this world is calculated individually. Three years is really counting the days every minute...

Pass the level on your own?

He didn't have that much confidence in himself, but looking at the handsome and pale face of the man standing next to him, Lu Jiuchuan suddenly smiled, gently pressed Tang Ci's shoulders and said, "I choose the first option. I believe in you. Analytical skills, after all, before I met Xiao Lou and the others, you were always the think tank of our team."

This is probably why Tang Ci was able to walk out of the nightmare chamber even with his legs cut off - he never relied on physical strength, but his brain.

Tang Ci listened to the other party's praise and said calmly: "Don't put your hat on me yet. By the way, I finally remembered what we overlooked - I don't think Han Ningshuang was the murderer of this Li Guisuo murder case, but just an accomplice. "

Lu Jiuchuan was stunned: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Tang Ci said: "The sound of a rattle."

He paused and frowned slightly: "Do you remember that when we first came to this world, the sound of rattles came from the direction of the mass graves? At that time, the Zhao family's wedding team had just left the town, and Han Ningshuang If you were flying kites and pretending to be ghosts in the town at that time, why would the sound of rattles appear in a mass grave far away from the town?”

Lu Jiuchuan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "That's right! Han Ningshuang confessed her crime in front of Qin Feng so easily because she knew who the murderer was, and she was helping the murderer. She was the one who pretended to be a ghost, but she led the Zhao family and Chen family to She wasn’t the one who went to the mass graves – there was more than one murderer!”

Tang Ci said: "We have to find a way to find out how many children the 'mother-in-law' has brought up."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

There is a new chapter today, so the case will be clear tomorrow!

I wonder if everyone understands what Tang Ci said? Although I wrote them simultaneously, in fact, they had to wait three years to see Xiao Lou, and Mr. Shao and Ye Qi had to wait twenty years to see Xiao Lou. The difficulty of this secret room is that the protagonist team was divided into different time points for investigation.
