The cup fell to the ground and shattered, and the liquid splashed everywhere, spreading clear water light in the dark cave. Lu Lixiao bent his knees to pick up the broken pieces of porcelain, his fingertips suddenly tingled, and bright red blood was reflected in his deep eyes.
He glanced to the side and found something hidden in the shadows. It was a small wooden block with a strange shape, tied with a red string, it didn't belong to him, it was probably dropped by Zhou Ziruo.
Lu Lixiao picked up the piece of wood and looked it over carefully. He didn't know where it came across. The piece of wood suddenly woke up like a tortoise, stretched out its head and limbs, and turned into a wooden doll the size of a palm. The head and limbs are connected by the red rope, Lu Lixiao pulled the rope, and the puppet moved its hands and feet very flexibly.
It turned out to be a puppet doll.
Puppets…
Lu Lixiao's brows gradually frowned. He took out the timeline he had drawn last night and read it several times, starting from the case where Leng Mo was knocked out. Finally, his gaze was fixed on the attack on Liu Nanqin, who was the mysterious deceased. On the case where the torso appeared.
That night Zhou Ziruo saw Feng Jing being killed by the black cloaked man...
The beheading scene without half a bloodstain...
The wound on Feng Jing's neck coincides with Buli...
Every time a part of the body appears...
Every crime in an enclosed space…
Only without a head...
All the unreasonable things in this case came to Lu Lixiao's mind, and the contradictions were combined together. After a while, he stood up, picked up the package containing the nanmuqin, and strode out of the cave.
When Zhou Ziruo woke up, the light in his eyes was dim and he couldn't see anything. He adapted in the dark for a while, vaguely guessing that this place should be an abandoned warehouse, and suddenly thought "bad".
There are so many abandoned houses like this in Qingyang Mountain. Liu Nanqin's familiarity with the sect will inevitably bring him to a place that ordinary people would never expect. In addition, he is not an important disciple. Search, now my life is really in Liu Nanqin's hands!
When Zhou Ziruo was frowning, Liu Nanqin opened the door and walked in, still looking gentle and kind.
"Little brother is awake? Is there any discomfort?"
Who the hell can feel comfortable being so tied up!
Zhou Ziruo whispered, "Jiang Yan?"
Liu Nanqin was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I heard this name, I almost forgot myself."
Zhou Ziruo was so stupid that he cried. Not by himself, but by Lu Lixiao, Dead Fat Chicken, Leng Mo, and the four of him who were stupid enough to cry.
Liu Nanqin.
Willow eyebrows, nanmu, guqin!
Nima's obvious clues lay under their noses, but the four of them and their eight eyes didn't see it! Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest, and the most obvious evidence is the most difficult to discern? ?
"You killed your elder brother Jiang Ye back then?" Zhou Ziruo asked cautiously.
Even though it has been sixteen years, when Jiang Ye was mentioned, Liu Nanqin—or Jiang Yan—still felt uncontrollable resentment, and replied coldly: "I tricked him into a small courtyard where there was no one, and put a stone on his head. He was smashed thirty-six times, his head was as soft as a rotten watermelon, and then his body was sunk in an abandoned well. I heard that when he was salvaged, his body swelled like a soaked bun... "
His description successfully made the watermelon and steamed buns that Zhou Ziruo ate in the morning stir up rebelliously in his stomach.
When he first learned that Jiang Yan, a thirteen-year-old boy, had killed his brother, Zhou Ziruo only thought that Jiang Yan killed him by mistake when resisting Jiang Ye's oppression. Today, he realized that he was so naive. Jiang Yan's death was entirely due to Jiang Yan's courage. Conspiring for premeditated murder!
"You...you don't have to do this, right? It's your big brother..."
"Shut up! What do you know!? Do you know what that scum did to me!?" Liu Nanqin was furious.
Zhou Ziruo was taken aback, and Liu Nanqin realized from his unfamiliar gaze that her reaction was too excited. He took a deep breath and turned his face away.
The Liu Nanqin just now looked like a violent stranger, or maybe that was the real Jiang Yan hidden under the gentle and kind appearance of "Liu Nanqin".
Zhou Ziruo didn't dare to mention Jiang's family anymore, and instead asked about Feng Jing's case: "Did you really kill the elder brother?"
Liu Nanqin's mood had returned to calm, and she confessed: "It's me."
"Why did you kill him?"
"He found out my identity. A few months ago, a disciple passed through Yiyang City and heard about the Jiang family's incident. When he came back, he told the elder brother a story. Soon after, the elder brother saw my file in the archives. My ancestral home is Yiyang City, and my real name is Jiang Yan. He guessed that I was the murderer who killed and threw away the corpse. He privately threatened me to take someone to Jiang's house to investigate the matter thoroughly, and then make it public. The reputation of the Xianmen family is discredited among the same generation."
Zhou Ziruo said: "So you decided to kill him?"
Liu Nanqin nodded slowly.
"Eldest senior brother is an important disciple after all. If he dies or disappears suddenly, I'm afraid the sect leader will not let it go. If the investigation continues, it is impossible not to find me. When I checked the classics in the classics library, I happened to see the old case from thirty years ago. Coincidentally, when disciple Dabi was approaching again, I decided to follow the example of thirty years ago and kill him! The leader will definitely think of the case thirty years ago, and subconsciously think that this is another case that cannot be investigated. The result of the headless public case, as expected, after this case occurred, the head and the elders were a little bit powerless in terms of the search."
Zhou Ziruo couldn't help admiring, this Liu Nanqin is definitely a psychological talent in the 21st century!
"What about the secret room? Senior Brother Leng and Second Senior Brother were both indoors with closed doors and windows. How did you leave after you attacked them?"
Liu Nanqin took out a palm-sized gray fur rabbit from his sleeve. The little rabbit was concentrating on eating carrots. Liu Nanqin gently stroked the soft fur on its back, scratched its soft ears, and the little rabbit obediently picked it up. Jumping off the ground with the carrot, he jumped to the door and inserted the lock.
Zhou Ziruo was made to cry again.
It's okay if Lu Lixiao and the others couldn't think of it, he and the dead fat chicken didn't even think of it as monsters! ! It turned out to be that simple! Not to mention spiritual beasts with a bit of spirituality, ordinary kittens and puppies can do it as long as they are well trained! There are gaps between the wooden railings on the windows of Feng Jing’s house, and there are vents on the roof of the ancestral hall. These places are hard for people to get through, but small animals can easily get out! Moreover, on the day when the first case appeared, he was chased by Qiu Cailing and ran all over the school. On the way to Feng Jing's yard, he met Liu Nanqin, that is, he just finished the case and left! !
"What about beheading? Why was there no blood on the scene after you beheaded senior brother that night? And weren't you in the room at that time being taken care of by Uncle Yunluo from the Shanyitang?"
Liu Nanqin answered patiently: "What you saw in the woods was not a senior brother at all, it was just a dummy, and the person wearing a black robe who chopped off the dummy's head was a senior senior brother. You were frightened again in the dim light, I think You shouldn’t be able to tell the difference. In fact, the head of the senior brother was beheaded on the night when the fourth junior brother was attacked. After the fourth junior brother lost consciousness, I manipulated him with phantom fragrance, and let him use Buli to cut off the head of the senior senior brother. Of course , I have already killed the senior brother before that, you don't have to worry about the fourth junior brother unconsciously killing the same sect."
Zhou Ziruo glared at him, feeling uncomfortable for him to see through his mind. He questioned him: "You lied to the big brother that you would help him win the big competition, and let him commit crimes and murders with you to imitate the case thirty years ago, and in the end you killed him to silence him? Who were the limbs you released a few times ago? What innocent person did you kill?"
Liu Nanqin looked at his stern face for a moment, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Little Junior Brother, you really have been with Fourth Junior Brother for a long time, and you are becoming more and more like him. Such righteousness and integrity are exactly the same as him."
Pooh! The young master was originally a five-good young man with a high standard of morality, principles and bottom lines!
"I didn't expect that if I released you one yard that night, you would even find out Daohe Village and Jiang Yan. If I had known this, I should have stood on the sidelines and asked Junior Brother Qi to find you out and hand them over to the head. Punish the Fourth Junior Brother, and I don't have to end up being found out today." Liu Nanqin sighed.
Zhou Ziruo's ears twitched, what did he mean when he said that head Qiu would not punish Lu Lixiao? Head Qiu personally ordered Lu Lixiao to be imprisoned! Didn't he be identified as having something to do with Feng Jing's death
Liu Nanqin smiled faintly at him, turned around and opened the door without any explanation. He stood at the door and looked back, the light outside was inlaid on his face, making him look illusory at this moment like a phantom that is about to disappear.
"Your question, I think... you'll never know the answer. Sorry."
After saying this, he opened the door and left. Still straight and unrestrained, his back was inexplicably resolute.
It was dark again in the room.
Zhou Ziruo frowned unconsciously as he recalled Liu Nanqin's last words before leaving.
Never know the answer
Who the other or N innocent dead will never be known
What does it mean
Zhou Ziruo felt a sense of incongruity in his heart for no reason. The images he experienced in this case flooded into his mind, and his mind was in a mess. At this moment, he heard a clear "squeak!" "sound.
He raised his eyes and saw that the closed door opened slightly, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes looking at him from outside the door.
… Who
Has Liu Nanqin gone and returned...
Outside the Yunqing Hall, it was the time when swords were on the verge of breaking out.
Although the disciples pointed their swords at Lu Lixiao, they all waited hesitantly for Wei Heng to give orders, which was very embarrassing.
Wei Heng stood in front of the disciples with his hands behind his back, his face full of solemnity.
Lu Lixiao said: "Second senior brother, are the master and the elders inside? Let me in."
"Do you know that you are now wearing a sinful body? The head and elders will not see you, and immediately go back to the precept hall to contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors!" Wei Heng scolded in a deep voice.
"Regarding the death of senior senior brother and the death of senior disciple Duan Peng thirty years ago, I have important information to report to the master immediately. I will not leave!" Lu Lixiao took a step forward.
The disciples involuntarily took a step back. At this time, Qi Yunpeng, who heard the news and brought a large number of people, shouted: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and arrest the traitor Lu Lixiao!"
Qi Yunpeng led a large group of unknown disciples to surround him, Wei Heng shouted loudly: "Everyone stop!" However, Qi Yunpeng turned a deaf ear and drew his sword to stab Lu Lixiao.
Lu Lixiao dodged to dodge, raised his hand to separate Qi Yunpeng's sword-holding arm, then moved him forward, grabbed his wrist and twisted it, and snatched the sword from his hand while he was in pain! Qi Yunpeng was furious, Lu Lixiao pushed him into the crowd.
Qi Yunpeng's sword is not a magic weapon to recognize the master, but it is much sharper than the swords of ordinary disciples, and it can be regarded as a rare good sword. Lu Lixiao flicked the blade, and a clear sword sound pierced through the chaos, and the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
Lu Lixiao pointed his sword obliquely at the ground, looked at Wei Heng and said, "Second Senior Brother, Junior Brother doesn't want to fight with the same sect, let me go in."
Qi Yunpeng, who was clutching his arm, was so angry that his nose was crooked. He said he didn't want to fight with his classmates, so why did he show no mercy to him just now?
Wei Heng frowned and stared at Lu Lixiao, the two of them were extremely silent, even the crowd around them were also completely silent.
Amidst the silence, someone slowly approached from behind, with a leisurely pace like a stroll in a courtyard.
"Second Senior Brother, let Fourth Senior Brother go in."
Wei Heng looked at the person, "Even you said that?"
Liu Nanqin nodded with a smile, "Because the death of Eldest Brother really has nothing to do with him. Eldest Brother..." He glanced around everyone present, and said clearly, "I killed him."
