Deadly Delivery

Chapter 68: Right before our eyes

Views:

When Lin Yingxue and her group were halfway through their run, they noticed that there were many "land mines" under their feet. They all showed disgusted expressions and carefully crossed the minefield before arriving at the stairs on the first floor where we were at the moment.

Seeing Lin Yingxue appear in front of me, I was a little puzzled. Is Zhang Qishan so efficient? Did he find a reinforcement team for me so quickly? But why was it Lin Yingxue who came? Where is Officer Yang who has been guarding outside the door? Did something really happen

Lin Yingxue came up to me and was about to speak, but when she saw the strange clothes of Yagami and others, she was immediately puzzled. She looked at the three people carefully and asked, "Ji Wen, what happened? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

I said helplessly, "You think I don't want to? I don't know why, but there's no signal on my phone in this building. I can't get in touch with you even if I want to. By the way, why are you here? Where's Officer Yang?"

"I just arrived in Zhongwei City and rushed over here. When I got here, I saw these comrades squatting at the door, but I didn't see Officer Yang."

Lin Yingxue’s answer surprised me a little. When I thought about the fact that Officer Yang’s walkie-talkie was in Shadow Barbie’s hands before, I felt that something might have really happened to Officer Yang.

At this time, a police officer beside Lin Yingxue stepped forward and said, "Officer Yang received a call from the police station earlier and seemed to have something important to deal with, so he left."

"Left? Where's his walkie-talkie?" Although I was disappointed that Officer Yang left at this critical moment, I felt relieved when I heard that he was not in trouble.

"Officer Yang gave me the walkie-talkie before he left, but I accidentally lost it when I went to the bathroom. I'll come back to look for it tomorrow morning."

Now I was completely relieved. It turned out that the police officer accidentally lost the walkie-talkie, so it fell into Shadow Barbie's hands, allowing her to use the walkie-talkie to scare me.

Seeing that I didn't answer her question, Lin Yingxue continued to ask, "What happened? Why are these people dressed like this?"

I sighed helplessly and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. Anyway, there have been three murders up there. I've found the murderer and I'm explaining the murderer's methods to them. Now that you're all here, I can tell you with confidence."

Lin Yingxue saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn at this time. Although it could be seen from her face that she was very curious about what happened this time, she still stood aside obediently, waiting for me to finish the matter.

In fact, this is what I had been worried about before. I was worried that if I told others about Fu Shou and Shadow Barbie's joint efforts to kill people, they would attack me and the other two in order to conceal the truth. So I asked Zhang Qishan to contact Officer Yang as soon as possible for support. On the one hand, I could find out what happened to Officer Yang, and on the other hand, with Officer Yang's arrival, the murderer would not dare to be so arrogant.

Although I haven't received support from Zhang Qishan yet, both issues have been resolved, so I can rest assured. I guess Zhang Qishan is struggling to find Officer Yang now. This girl helped me a lot tonight, and I will definitely treat her to a good meal later.

The reminiscing with Lin Yingxue ended here. Fushou, who had been isolated in the corner and had not spoken a word, finally couldn't help laughing and said, "Your speculation is indeed very interesting, and it sounds impeccable, but there are still some things you haven't explained clearly. If you can explain these things clearly, it won't be too late to accuse me of being a murderer."

As soon as Fushou opened his mouth, the invisible aura that I had felt before came upon me again. Not only me, but even the battle-hardened Lin Yingxue beside me, had a slightly different look in her eyes when she looked at Fushou.

"Okay, tell me, I want to see how long you can keep quibbling!"

Fu Shou snorted coldly and said, "First of all, what you said about using the color of clothes to confuse everyone's vision in the dark is undeniably true, but before we came, everyone's clothes were designated by the captain, Pleasant Goat. In other words, I didn't know what everyone was wearing before I came. How could I have made such a careful arrangement so cleverly?"

"Also, I hope you can explain why our captain, Pleasant Goat, suddenly ran towards the sixth floor like he was possessed when we were about to leave? If I were really the murderer, could I have done something that could confuse other people's minds? Last but not least, what was my motive for murder? I'm an outsider who came here to travel. Why would I use such an elaborate plan to kill my teammates?"

Fukushou's continuous questioning also resonated with Yagami, who also looked at me with a puzzled look, waiting for my explanation.

I heard Fu Shou's question, and the last question in my mind was finally answered. I smiled and said, "If you didn't tell me, I might not have figured out why Pleasant Goat suddenly went crazy and ran to the sixth floor to stop us from leaving. After your reminder just now, I finally understood. In fact, if the first two questions you asked are linked together, then the problem will be much simpler."

"According to my understanding, you, Shadow Barbie, and Pleasant Goat should be in the same group. This is the only way to explain why Pleasant Goat followed your instructions on how to dress, and also stopped us from leaving at the critical moment. Unfortunately, although he was in the same group as you, you abandoned him. After he successfully stopped us from leaving, you chose to kill him, which amplified the fear in our hearts. Am I right?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Fushou actually nodded slightly. It seemed as if nothing had happened. He was commenting on my every word like a judge. However, Yasha's behavior was much more normal. He looked at me in shock, speechless. It was obvious that he had never thought that Pleasant Goat was also an accomplice of the murderer.

I continued, "As for your motive for murder, I'm not really sure about it, but you told me a story before about a girl who was tortured and committed suicide when the White Building was still a hospital. I guess this should be your motive for murder. The girl who committed suicide back then should have had some connection with you, right?"

I answered Fushou's question according to my guess, but Fushou clearly had no chance of struggling at this time, but he still stood there calmly. Although we are outnumbered now, I always feel that something is not right, but I can't tell the reason.

Fu Shou was silent for about ten seconds, took a deep breath, and said, "So, where is the evidence? These are just your inferences, but you still don't have any evidence to catch me."

I sneered and said, "As for evidence, there isn't much about you, but there is a lot about Shadow Barbie. I've seen Shadow Barbie's outfit. Although she has very long nails on her hands, there is nothing to hide her fingerprints. The nails stuck in the zombie man's body and the thick hemp rope outside the window should all have her fingerprints. As for you."

As I said that, I slowly raised my finger and pointed at Fu Shou's black clothes, saying, "When you dressed up as the female ghost in white, you must have put on the black robe in order to perform the disappearance in front of us. And since then, you have been by our side and have no time to change clothes. So I am sure that under your black robe, you should still have the white clothes you wore when you played the female ghost in white, right? Do you want to take it off and let us see it?"

Although I now fully understand Fu Shou's tricks, I still feel scared when I think about it! If I hadn't discovered these subtle clues in time, when we walked out of the white building, Shadow Barbie hidden in the dark destroyed the rope and other evidence, then this case would be a real perfect crime! All of us who are alive will tell the police that it was the evil ghost who killed people. The police will definitely not believe it at that time, but they will definitely not find any evidence after investigation. In the end, this case can only be left unresolved.

I don’t know who is the architect of this case, but anyone who can come up with such a method of killing must be a complete devil!

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fushou's black robe, and Fushou finally stopped asking me questions. Instead, he suddenly burst into laughter and reached out to take off the black robe he was wearing. Sure enough, a robe made of white bloody sheets was put on him!

Although he took off the black robe, Fushou did not take off the mask on his face. Instead, he stared at me closely. Through the holes in the mask, I could see that his clear eyes revealed an extremely dangerous signal!

Everyone was a little confused by Fushou's smile, but I kept recalling everything that had happened before. A bold guess suddenly emerged in my mind, making me feel like falling into an ice cellar, and I couldn't help but shiver!

"Well done, beautifully done. Your reasoning is close to perfect. It's a pity that your speed in solving the case is too slow. It's so slow that it makes me feel drowsy and extremely bored." Fushou spoke slowly, and his voice had changed at this time, becoming more and more familiar to me.

Lin Yingxue behind me seemed to have noticed something, and whispered to me, "I forgot to tell you, Commander Bai found out before that the courier you were asked to deliver here was sent from Zhongwei City, which means that Qiongqi might be hiding in Zhongwei City!"

I reached out to stop Lin Yingxue from continuing, staring at Fushou in front of me and said, "I already know this, and I also know that Qiongqi is now far away in the sky and right in front of me!"
