[Chapter 508, Summary of clues]

The silver in Shao Qingge's treasure chest was all the same size, and each ingot of silver had 3 to 5 characters engraved on it. Xiao Lou took out the silver, arranged it on the table in order, and connected the characters on it——

Mr. Shao wrote a short essay to clearly describe his and Ye Qi's experiences in that world.

"We went twenty years ago and found several suspects who were still children."

"There was a group of robbers in Qingfeng Town who robbed everywhere during the famine year. After obtaining a large amount of gold and silver treasures, they went to the top of the mountain to build a bandit stronghold. As a result, there was internal strife due to the uneven distribution of the spoils. Five of them, who were sworn brothers and sisters, conspired to embezzle the treasures and all the other robbers. Killing them all, the actions of these five people happened to be witnessed by a 9-year-old girl named Zhou Xiaoyun."

"There was a kind-hearted Granny Sun in Qingfeng Town who adopted six orphans. The eldest, Ren Yuan, was Uncle Ren who sold rattles in Qingfeng Town 20 years later; the second, Aunt Qing, married to Yuezhou; and there were four children, girls. Zhou Xiaoyun, Han Ningshuang, and the boys Qi Ran and Qin Feng were all nine years old and were born in the year of Tiger. My mother-in-law can make rattles, and each of the four children has a rattle with a tiger on the drum surface made by my mother-in-law."

"Because Zhou Xiaoyun saw the faces of the five robbers, the five wanted to kill them to silence them, so they found Granny Sun and took her and her three children, Qin Feng, Han Ningshuang, and Qi Ran, back. Zhou Xiaoyun jumped out of the window and escaped, and Ask Ren Yuan for help."

"That group of people did all kinds of evil during the famine years. They not only burned, killed and looted, but also captured the old, weak, sick and disabled and kept them as human animals. They fed on human flesh every day. When they were about to eat several children, the mother-in-law stepped forward and used the children to kill them. He deceived them on the pretext that they had the highly contagious smallpox and asked them to find a place to bury the children. After the three children were buried, they were rescued by Aunt Qing who came over."

"In order to avoid being discovered by the thugs, Aunt Qing took Qin Feng and Han Ningshuang to Yuezhou. Later, a fire broke out in Yuezhou City. Aunt Qing died in the fire. Qin Feng and Han Ningshuang became separated. In order to survive, Han Ningshuang decided to He took a robber as his master."

"The two children Qi Ran and Zhou Xiaoyun were taken care of by Uncle Ren. When several children were arrested, Qi Ran had one of his little fingers cut off by the gangsters in order to help Han Ningshuang, and he had a high fever for a day. Due to improper treatment of chickenpox, Qi Ran had scars on his face. Got a lot of scars.”

"Qi Ran had a strange book in his hand with some pictures of puppets on it. We found him many times sneaking out to read a book alone in the middle of the night, mumbling something. Later, the five people continued to search for the witness Zhou Xiaoyun in Qingfeng Town , Ren Yuan was forced to leave Qingfeng Town with Qi Ran and Zhou Xiaoyun, and wanted to go to Yuezhou to join Aunt Qing, but he failed to find Aunt Qing and the three of them."

"The five people in Qingfeng Town are named Zhao Lang, Chen Yu, Xue Ming, Lin Xiaofeng, and Lu Cheng. Among them, Zhao and Chen are the grandfathers of the Zhao and Chen families who later disappeared. The other three have no family members yet. Unable to verify. Except for Lin Xiaofeng, who is female, the other four are male."

"During the famine years, Ye Qi and I lived on weeds and leaves all day long. We couldn't hold on for long, and the clues we found were very limited. I believe that you will be able to get an accurate answer by combining the clues from later generations."

"Finally, if my and Ye Qi's names are still there on the contract when we see this treasure chest, it means we luckily guessed it right. One of the murderers is Qi Ran. If the names are not there, then this tomb will really be our joint tomb. Now. Professor Xiao will give us some paper money to burn."

Everyone: "..."

What the hell is burning paper money? Mr. Shao is quite good at joking!

After Xiao Lou read the words on the silver coin, he couldn't help but press his temples: "Mr. Shao bet so big? Could it be that he and Ye Qi directly guessed the murderer?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "The murderer twenty years ago was still a child. The information they could find was limited, and they could not follow the murderer for twenty years. Judging from the known clues, the possibility that the murderer is Qi Ran is indeed The biggest. However, we will know that there is actually more than one murderer after investigation in later generations. Perhaps guessing the right one twenty years ago can be considered as completing the task? "

Xiao Lou glanced at the names of the four children deliberately marked with ink on the silver.

Qin Feng, Han Ningshuang, Qi Ran, Zhou Xiaoyun.

Xiao Loudao: "Based on the clues left by Brother Ninth and others, Han Ningshuang and Qi Ran must have joined forces. Han Ningshuang is responsible for flying kites and pretending to be a female ghost to create mystery, while Qi Ran is responsible for leading people to mass graves and killing them. Qin Feng knew about it but did not stop it. , As for Xiaoyun this week, her whereabouts seem to be unknown later? Neither Brother Jiu nor Mr. Shao mentioned her ending in the clues. "

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Shao and the others found out that one of the five gangsters from 20 years ago was named Xue Ming. Is he Xue Zhao's father? Han Ningshuang married Xue Ming when she was abroad. Zhao, followed Xue Zhao back to Qingfeng Town to sell tofu, but she became a widow not long after... Maybe the Xue family was solved by her?!"

Xiao Lou also thought of this possibility and agreed: "The enemy's surname was Xue, and Han Ningshuang happened to marry someone surnamed Xue, and she became a widow soon after the marriage. It cannot be a coincidence. Obviously, Han Ningshuang and Qin Feng were After being separated, in order to survive, she wandered around with a group of bandits, and her psychology gradually became distorted. She happened to meet the Xue family in a foreign country and recognized her enemies, so she quietly married Xue Zhao just to come back for revenge."

Marry a descendant of the Xue family, then kill the Xue family, and then pretend to be a "lonely and helpless widow" to stay in Qingfeng Town to eliminate other enemies.

Maybe Qin Feng was suspicious of Xue Zhao when she died. After everything happened to the Zhao family and the Chen family, Qin Feng was sure that it was her. However, she was not that capable on her own, so Qin Feng must have guessed her. There were helpers, so Qin Feng left a rattle with a tiger painted on the drum surface at the scene where the Zhao and Chen families disappeared.

The four children were adopted by their mother-in-law, who had her limbs chopped off and died tragically. You can imagine the impact this incident had on them. Qin Feng disapproved of the revenge method of killing entire families, and because of his indecisiveness, he did not dare to directly stop his partners' revenge plan; Han Ningshuang and Qi Ran had a distorted mentality due to their growing environment, and they filled the gaps left by their childhoods by killing entire families.

Qi Ran had chickenpox and had many scars on his face, so he always wore a mask. He got close to the fourth daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Zesui, and made the silly girl fall in love with him, and then tried to kill the entire Zhao family...

The two murderers are indeed the best among the murderers encountered so far with their deep scheming and vicious methods.

After clarifying the logic of the whole incident, Xiao Lou collected all the money on the table and said: "The truth of the Li Guisuo murder case has finally been revealed. The teammates went to investigate twenty years ago and three years ago and successfully passed on the clues. , in this world, we have the most comprehensive information, and our reasoning is actually the easiest."

Liu Qiao said: "But we still have two unresolved issues. One is the whereabouts of the witness Zhou Xiaoyun, and the other is the murderer of the girl sinking into the lake."

Qu Wanyue was the first to discover the body of the girl in red in Zuiyue Lake. When she heard this, she couldn't help but said: "Xiaoqiao is right, the girl's body was discovered after we detached our team. At that time, Brother Jiu and Shao We have been unable to contact him, and they must not know that this time the secret room is actually a double case."

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully: "So, the difficulty of this secret room is to let the teammates travel to different time and space to help investigate the suspects in Li Guisuo's murder case and find ways to leave us clues; and in this world, Are we still investigating the murderer of the Shenhu case?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, that should be the case, otherwise we will simply win this time."

The teammates are all very capable, and Tang Ci's way of passing on clues is very smart. Clues spanning twenty years were also passed on to them by Mr. Shao in a "treasure box buried in a grave" way. They are equivalent to entering the examination room with reference materials, and it is not difficult to reason out the correct answers.

The Shenhu case was discovered when they sneaked into Zuiyue Lake at night. At that time, the team happened to split up and lost contact. Mr. Shao and Brother Jiu didn't know anything about it, so naturally they couldn't find out who the murderer was.

It seemed like they had to rely on themselves on this case.

Xiao Lou carefully recalled the known clues of the Sinking Lake case and said: "At that time, many corpses of girls in red were found in Zuiyue Lake. Normally, the corpses will turn into bones within 2 years in the water. We saw Some of the corpses were reduced to bones; some had begun to rot; and there were also fresh female corpses that had been dragged into the water in the past few days and showed an obvious giant appearance on the surface."

Yu Hanjiang said: "This proves that the murderer of the girl Shenhu case also committed the crime for a long time, at least more than 2 years. The woman he initially killed has turned into bones?"

Xiao Lou nodded and said: "And when he committed the crime, he also borrowed the legend of 'The devil seeks his life' and specially picked the time before and after the Ghost Festival to drag those girls into the lake and drown them. In this way, the people in the town would You would think that these girls were seduced by evil spirits."

Liu Qiao recalled the scene when we all acted together, and frowned: "I pretended to fall into the water, and Captain Yu and Brother Long went into the water to rescue me, and brought up a female body. If I remember correctly, the girl's surname was Lin, who happened to be a few years ago. Missed a few days ago?"

Xiao Loudao: "When Qin Feng came to the scene, I thought he would continue the investigation, but instead he said that outsiders should not get involved in the matter in Qingfeng Town, and sent the body back to the Lin family... What is strange is that the Lin family did not treat their own daughter No reaction to falling into the water?"

Long Sen scratched his head and said in confusion: "There is indeed something wrong with this family! At first, there were rumors that the ghost was seeking his life and his daughter was missing. It could be understood that the ghost took her to be a ghost wife. Later, the daughter's body was found in the lake. Normal people would Do you suspect that your daughter was killed? But the Lin family didn’t react at all, as if they didn’t care about this girl’s life or death?”

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "There are two possibilities. First, they have a very bad relationship with this daughter, and no one cares about her life or death; second, although they thought that their daughter was murdered, they did not dare to say anything, because in their hearts There is a ghost, and the thief has a guilty conscience.”

He paused and then said: "I am more inclined to the second possibility. There is more than one missing girl in the town. It is impossible for every girl to have a bad relationship with her family... Maybe these people have done this before The bad thing, their daughter’s disappearance, made them think it was retribution for doing bad things, so they didn’t dare to investigate for fear of exposing their past crimes.”

Xiao Lou also agreed with Yu Hanjiang's opinion and followed his train of thought and analyzed: "We have been in Qingfeng Town for several days, and we have never seen a girl in red in the town. And the body we found at the bottom of the lake, The red clothes are all the same style, and even the hairstyles are similar. Obviously, this is the murderer’s obsession with the woman in red.”

Liu Qiao said: "In other words, the murderer put the red dresses on them, so they are so neat?"

Lao Mo sighed: "This murderer is quite perverted. He should be very strong. He can easily control a woman, put her in red clothes, and then drag her to the lake and drown her."

Yu Hanjiang concluded: "The murderer is an adult male, with strong strength and good water resistance. He started committing crimes two years ago by borrowing the public opinion of 'a fierce ghost asking for his life'. He should have been stimulated by the woman in red, or was abandoned by the woman in red; or The tragic death of the woman in red whom he loved so much gave him a desire for revenge. Red... The most common occasion for women in ancient times to wear red was when they got married, right?"

Xiao Lou's eyes lit up: "Perhaps the meaning of the red dress is the wedding dress?"

The whereabouts of Zhou Xiaoyun, the murderer of the Shenhu case, only have two final puzzles left. Although the names of the teammates are still on the contract, there is no guarantee that if they make mistakes in reasoning in this world, they will drag their teammates into the nightmare chamber.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Yu Hanjiang simply stood up and said: "After dark, we will be transported to the ghost town again, and there will be a lot of hunters waiting for us there. Everyone, hurry up and check what happened in the small town in the past two years. Has anything happened to your wedding?"
