Lin Yingxue's words were like a heavy blow that hit the depths of my brain. I had never thought about this question before. After all, I felt that this Qiongqi was so mysterious and did not seem like anyone I had ever seen. Now that Lin Yingxue said this, I realized that I had been too careless before.
My only impression of Qiongqi is that he was dressed very warmly in the middle of summer and his voice sounded young. I know nothing else about him. If Qiongqi had deliberately changed his voice, I would not have recognized him even if he was standing in front of me now.
Thinking of this, I can't help but have a strange idea, that is, could Qiongqi be the real murderer of this serial murder case, and he is hiding in Heishan Village, and has been communicating with us in some identity
If it is really as I imagined, then this matter is too terrible! Not to mention how dangerous this Qiongqi is, if this case is really done by him, then it is very likely that the information or speculation I have known from beginning to end is wrong!
Originally, I was planning to have a chat with Lin Yingxue to exchange some feelings, but now I had completely lost interest and kept thinking about any possibilities of the matter. Unconsciously, cold sweat gradually appeared on my forehead in this windy night.
Perhaps because she saw that I was in a daze, Lin Yingxue suddenly said, "I don't know what you think, but I think that maybe this Master Liu is the Qiongqi."
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Lin Yingxue's voice and shook my head, "I don't think that's right. If Qiongqi is really hiding in Heishan Village, it's not very likely that it's Master Liu. Although Master Liu behaved a little unexpectedly during the day, his words also have the most flaws. I don't believe Qiongqi is only this capable. After all, he once handled all the cases in your special case team for a year."
Analysis has always been Lin Yingxue's weak point. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Although I don't quite understand what you mean, I also feel that if Qiongqi is hiding here, he must be the one who hides the deepest and is the most unimaginable. No matter whether he is in Heishan Village or not, I will catch him with my own hands even if I chase him to the ends of the earth! After all, I have also worked under Commander Bai for a while, and I have never seen anyone who can give Commander Bai such a headache."
I didn't expect Lin Yingxue to be so talkative after she started talking. I nodded gently and said, "Indeed, such a person, once he becomes a criminal, must be quite terrible, as can be seen from these two inexplicable cases. Don't worry, although I am now an unemployed vagrant, if possible, I will try my best to help you catch him! I can't let him come to play with me every time, it's time for me to take the initiative to play with him."
Lin Yingxue smiled sweetly at me again and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of justice."
"No, I just want to make money. After all, your special case team is my financial sponsor."
I said with a smile, and Lin Yingxue rolled her eyes at me. I was about to continue chatting with her when she suddenly said, "We will take turns to rest tonight. You must keep an eye on us. You rest first. I'll call you at two o'clock."
Seeing that she had no intention of continuing the conversation, I suddenly felt a little disappointed and said, "You should rest first. I am used to going to bed late and I am still energetic now. I can't fall asleep even if I want to. Besides, you have a cold too. You will get better faster if you rest well."
Lin Yingxue didn't hesitate to do so. She found a relatively sturdy tree nearby, leaned against it, closed her eyes, and never moved again. It seemed that she was really asleep.
According to my understanding, a girl who is so beautiful and has a good job should have been the apple of everyone's eye since childhood. But I didn't expect that Lin Yingxue was so simple and could fall asleep so easily in such a cold and desolate place. In addition, she said before that I took her first kiss. Now I am a little curious, what was this girl's past like
The weather in autumn is getting colder day by day, especially now at night. A gust of cold wind blew by, and I couldn't help shivering. I turned my head to look at Lin Yingxue who was already asleep, and found that she had curled up, as if this was the only way to keep warm. No wonder she caught a cold yesterday. It would be strange if she didn't catch a cold after staying in such an environment without shelter from the wind for a night.
I walked over and took off my coat and covered Lin Yingxue with it, which made her frown relax a little. I suddenly felt that the temperature around me seemed to drop by several degrees, and I had to hug my arms to keep warm.
"TV is all lies! Those male protagonists put clothes on the female protagonists and there is no reaction at all. Why am I freezing like a dog now?"
I already felt a little regretful about giving the clothes to Lin Yingxue. I turned around to take them back, but found that she was already covered tightly. If I took the clothes off, she would surely wake up and then misunderstand me again. I was afraid that the good image that I had worked so hard to establish would collapse again.
Helplessly, I had to continue monitoring the situation in Master Liu's home in the cold wind. I have said before that Master Liu's home is actually very easy to monitor because there is only one exit and all the doors and windows are on one wall, so it is enough to just stare at the wall in front of you. But perhaps because of the cold wind, my brain gradually calmed down at this time, and suddenly I remembered what Zhao Tiezhu said, that he saw Master Liu last night.
Originally, after a day of interviews and investigations, I had concluded that either Zhao Tiezhu had seen it wrong or Lin Yingxue had fallen asleep. But now think about it, if neither of them had made a mistake, then how could Master Liu have walked out of the room without anyone noticing
I carefully recalled the details of entering Master Liu's room today. Although we have been confronting Master Liu, I have also been careful and kept observing the surroundings of the room, but did not find another exit. Could it be that Master Liu really knows the art of invisibility and can avoid our sight to commit crimes
I will never believe this reason. From my current perspective, it is very likely that there is a secret passage in Liu Zhenren's home that no one knows about. Perhaps this secret passage is the reason why Liu Zhenren is so confident today!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt enlightened, but also a little regretful. If there really was a secret passage in Liu Zhenren's house, then Liu Zhenren's wife must know it. I couldn't get the answer from Liu Zhenren before, so shouldn't I ask his wife? Suddenly I felt so stupid.
I took out my phone and checked the time, and was shocked! I didn't expect it was already three o'clock in the morning! It was just getting dark when I was chatting with Lin Yingxue just now. Could it be that I have been thinking about the problem for so long
Then it was proved that I had indeed been thinking about it for a long time. I wanted to stand up and quietly inquire about the residence of Master Liu in front, but I fell to the ground again the moment I stood up. My legs were completely numb and my fingers were so cold that I couldn't bend them.
I immediately rubbed my numb legs vigorously. At this time, Lin Yingxue's voice came from behind me: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. I've been sitting for too long and my legs are numb." I looked back and found that Lin Yingxue had woken up. She came to me with my coat in her hand and said, "Put it on. It's very cold now. Thank you."
I took the coat and put it on immediately, and then I felt much warmer. After my legs were fully recovered, Lin Yingxue asked me to go and rest, and she would take over the monitoring. I shook my head and said, "Let's not talk about resting yet. I'm going to check out Master Liu's house first. I always feel that there should be something like a secret passage."
After hearing this, Lin Yingxue also thought it was very likely, so I quietly bypassed the main door of Liu Zhenren's house and approached the wall at the back that had no windows at all.
Since this wall has no windows, I was not worried about being discovered by Master Liu. I took out my cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and carefully checked every part of the wall, but I did not find any signs of hollowness.
Did I guess wrong
I looked up at the roof. Although the roof of this bungalow is not very high, it is not a height that ordinary people can climb up. If there is a skylight on it, it is not a problem to sneak out and jump down. But if so, how did Master Liu get back? There is no ladder or anything like that behind this house. Even if you have Qinggong skills, you can't climb up, right
Just when I was wondering, I suddenly discovered that about twenty meters behind Master Liu’s house, there was a shabby, independent small room, similar to a warehouse. It had been blocked by Master Liu’s house before. If I hadn’t come around here now, I probably wouldn’t have discovered it.
I was just about to go in to see what kind of room it was, but at this moment, I heard Lin Yingxue's voice from far behind me.
"Ji Wen, come here quickly!"
Lin Yingxue's sudden shout in the middle of the night scared me. I thought to myself, we were spying on others, and your shout completely exposed us. No wonder Master Liu was able to find you yesterday.
I quickly turned my head and found that Lin Yingxue was running towards Master Liu's house. She seemed to have discovered something. I hurriedly followed her and asked what happened. Lin Yingxue pointed to the window. I turned my head to look and found that there seemed to be a shadow on the window, swaying left and right regularly!
Seeing this scene, I instantly understood what was happening. Lin Yingxue came to the gate and kicked it open. We rushed in immediately, and suddenly, everything in the house was in sight.
Zhang Guozhong's body, which was originally placed behind the altar and covered in blood, was now sitting on the rocking chair in Liu Zhenren's house, with a stiff and weird smile on his face and a rope wrapped around his hands. Liu Zhenren was hung on the beam of the house by the rope, swinging from side to side like a swing, with bulging eyeballs, sticking out tongue, and purple face. It was exactly the shadow in the candlelight that we saw outside the window before!
