In the centralized interrogation room, the incandescent lamps were shining brightly, making Gu Liang's skin very white.
Under this kind of light, Gu Liang's pupils looked even lighter.
Yang Ye stared at Gu Liang like this, then shook his head: "Not too hungry."
Gu Liang glanced at him. "Then drink some water."
Yang Ye's eyes moved away from Gu Liang's face, and focused on the peach blossom honey on the table. "Who got this clue?"
In fact, if Gu Liang said that it was brought by him before, it would easily arouse suspicion.
When he brought the jar, he thought that Yang Ye might ask this question.
But at the time he didn't have anything better to do.
It's a big deal to admit that I came here once in advance. He just needs to act a little more realistically, saying that he just brought some evidence in advance, and when the time comes to see what Yang Ye asks, he can play a few words on the spot, and he should be able to fool him.
Now, under the effect of nectar, Xue Xiangu unexpectedly fell asleep so early.
This is unexpected.
Gu Liang simply pushed the matter of Huami to her, so he said, "I don't know."
Yang Ye took a deep look at him, and then at Huoshouzuo. "Excuse me, did you and Fairy Xue bring this?"
Huoshouzuo shook his head: "I don't know. I didn't come with Xue. Maybe she brought it."
After saying this, Huo Shouzuo tried to push Xiangu Xue, but she was so sound asleep that she didn't even hum.
Hearing that Huo didn't come with Xue, Gu Liang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then took a big bite of the snacks, trying to show that these snacks are indeed no problem.
Seeing this, Yang Ye pushed the snack in front of him to him. "If you like this snack so much, I'll give you mine too."
Gu Liang: "..."
Fortunately, Yun Xiangu came in at this time.
Followed by Feng Xiangu, Mu Shouzuo, and Jin Shouzuo, they are all here.
Before everyone was fully seated, the system announcement sounded.
"Ding dong! The time for free exploration is over! Let's enter the intensive discussion session!"
"Five hours of intensive discussion."
"After the game is over, everyone will have a 15-day break."
"Have a nice game everyone!"
As soon as the broadcast sounded, Yun Xiangu came to Gu Liang and showed him the evidence she had found.
Gu Liang saw that what was placed on the table in front of him was a woman's earring.
The style of the earrings is quite simple, the finest wood is selected from a small part, polished into a crescent shape, a thin piece, and a pearl is adorned.
Gu Liang frowned: "This earring is—"
Yun Xiangu said: "I picked it up in the lawn behind the Zhailou. I just asked Feng Xiangu, it's hers."
Feng Xiangu nodded: "Yes. That is indeed my earring. It was lost after I competed with others in the sword competition seventy years ago. I searched for it back then, but I couldn't find it. I don't care anymore."
"I didn't wear jewelry very much in the future, because they affected my spellcasting. When a master fights, sometimes a little factor can affect the outcome. For me, jewelry has become a fetter instead, so I didn't wear it."
According to Gu Liang and Yang Ye's previous inferences, the real culprit who killed the other Feng Xiangu could actually be locked on Huoshouzuo.
Huoshouzuo's residence does not have any personal items related to Xiangu Feng.
And the poisonous needle can play the role of chasing the soul and life, and it needs to stay with the personal belongings of the person being chased for a period of time, so that the poisonous needle can record and track the smell of that person.
And time and space are only differentiated, it only goes backwards for one day, and Feng Xiangu of two time and space will not be surprised by the smell.
Therefore, poisonous needles alone cannot accomplish anything, and Feng Xiangu's personal belongings are also necessary conditions, such as the wooden hairpin, and this earring.
Now this clue, maybe it can be considered that Huoshouzuo knew that the earring was the key evidence against him, so he kept it on his body all the time, and then threw it into the public area during the investigation, so as to clear his identity. suspected.
Huoshouzuo is the real culprit, and the story makes sense.
But is everything really that simple
But right now, Gu Liang's mind is not here.
He had to see how many people would eat a snack, fall asleep, and think about what to do next.
In fact, it would be best for Yang Ye to eat dim sum first.
Otherwise, if a few more people fall asleep, he will doubt himself.
How to do it
Do you want to persuade him to eat again? How about I try to feed him
Gu Liang thought for a while, then looked at Huo Shouzuo: "Huo Shouzuo, come with me one-on-one first. I have some questions, I want to ask you alone."
After speaking, Gu Liang stood up and walked towards the one-on-one interrogation room. In the process, he tugged on Yang Ye's robe. "Let's go together. Oh, by the way, help me bring some snacks and water."
Well, first pretend to be serious about solving the case, and interrogate Huo Shouzuo well.
In the process, he inadvertently gave Yang Ye a bite of snacks.
Ok, deal.
After a while, focus on the discussion room.
Facing the fire seat, Gu Liang asked directly: "When we first discussed at the waterfall, we focused on the timeline of the Xuanji stone prophecy. You said you saw it at 11 o'clock in the evening on the fifth day of March, right?"
"That's right." Huo Shouzuo said, "Then I went to Apprentice Xie's residence at 11:30 and saw Aunt Feng in the courtyard, so I left."
Gu Liang asked him: "When you saw Aunt Feng, were you particularly surprised?"
Huo Shouzuo: "Surprised? It's not too surprising. After all, we all know about her and the evil apprentice. If you insist on saying I'm surprised, it's probably because I don't know that she is so humble, and she stays in the courtyard in the middle of the night... "
Gu Liang continued to ask: "Are you not surprised by anything else?"
Huoshouzuo asked back: "What else can I be surprised about?"
Gu Liang paused, and said: "You are surprised, because you killed her in the afternoon and hid her in the nine-storied pagoda. But, at 11 o'clock in the evening, you actually saw her alive again."
Huoshouzuo was shocked and said: "Fuck, detective, do you doubt me? It's really not me!"
Gu Liang opened the notebook, turned to a blank page, took a pen and started to record. "11 o'clock in the evening on the fifth day of March, is this the first time you have seen the prophecy?"
Huo Shouzuo: "Yes. Otherwise?"
Gu Liangdao: "It is also possible that you saw the prophecy on the fourth day of March. You don't want to kill the evil apprentice, because you have a long-term view and know how to deal with him. It is better to deal with Feng Xiangu directly. That will completely solve this matter."
"On the afternoon of the fifth day of March, you killed Feng Xiangu. At 11 o'clock in the evening, it was the second time you read the prophecy. You found that the evil apprentice written by Xuanjishi was actually the master, so you went to the evil apprentice's bamboo house and planned to attack him. "
Huo Shouzuo: "I didn't! I don't know!"
Gu Liang asked again: "On the fourth day of March, where did you eat? Did you go to the Zhailou?"
Huo Shouzuo: "No. I have an apprentice who cooks delicious food. He cooked a small stove for me! I didn't go to the main peak. What do you mean by this?"
Gu Liang said: "During dinner on the fourth day of March, you were eating in the school cafeteria. You overheard Yun Xue's conversation, and knew that they had an appointment on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar new year, so you secretly sent a note to Feng Xiangu's residence to make an appointment with her on the first day. Go to the Nine-Storied Pagoda for a drink in the afternoon, when everyone sees this note, they will only think that one of the two, Yun Xue, asked her out."
"After that, you observed near the bamboo forest outside the nine-storied pagoda. You didn't wait for the wind to appear until 5 o'clock. You saw the cloud leave and went to the direction of the waterfall. Then you returned to the nine-storied pagoda and found that Xue was drunk and saw the water on the table. wine and peach blossom honey, I immediately thought of a way to put the blame on Xue."
"In the end, you went back to the bamboo forest and continued to ambush. The wind finally appeared, so you killed her with a life-seeking poison needle. While Xue was drunk, you took the body into the nine-storied pagoda and hid it. Before hiding the body, you walked a little by one. Apply a layer of nectar on the corpse, and then put a sword on her chest, and blame everything on Fairy Xue."
Huoshouzuo: "If it were me, would it be necessary for me to take you to find that needle?"
Gu Liangdao: "It's possible to play against logic. It's because we think so that we exclude you."
"I fucking..."
Huoshouzuo was dumbfounded when he heard that, "You are so reasonable, I'm going to believe it. But I'm not a murderer. Apart from the poison needle, how did you put it on me?"
Gu Liang said: "Let me summarize the current situation with you. Feng Xiangu, who died in the nine-storied pagoda, had nectar on her body and face, and she had a sword wound on her body. Combined with the character setting, no one should be able to kill her with one move." , so we speculated at the beginning that she was drunk with nectar first, and then died of a sword wound. Of course, the poisonous needle was discovered later, and we thought that the nectar should be applied later. Then, someone used the needle to deal with her first, and then The nectar and sword of mending."
"Whether it's nectar or needles, this person must have an appointment with Fairy Feng, or know where she went, in order to achieve this smoothly. Judging from the notes, this should be true."
"The wind in our time and space, and the wind in that time and space, did not go to the appointment when we first experienced the fifth day of March."
"Only Feng Xiangu, who may have come from another time and space, went to the appointment on the fifth day of March after the second experience, and the murderer could succeed."
"Similarly, combined with the notes, and the time when Aunt Xue got drunk and Aunt Yun left the tower, the killing and hiding of corpses can only happen between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. on the fifth day of March."
"I'm going? Then someone must have polluted me here!" Huoshouzuo looked at Yang Ye, "No, didn't you steal the sundial in the nine-storied pagoda at that time? You stayed there for a long time! You didn't see anything Are you there?"
Yang Yedao: "I arrived at 9:00 p.m. on the fifth day of the new day. At that time, Aunt Xue Xiangu was still in a state of drunkenness. I did stay all night and left at 5:15 p.m. the next day. I can't guarantee Between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m., the timeline of Fairy Xue, there is no guarantee that she will still be in a coma from 9:00 to 11:00. But at present, the possibility of her lying is very small."
Huoshouzuo asked: "That night, you didn't hear anything at all? What if the murderer hid the corpse at 10 o'clock?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "The corpse is hidden on the third floor. I arrived at 9 o'clock and slowly deciphered the mechanism. At 10 o'clock, I happened to be on the third floor. It is impossible. So, in fact, the time for the murderer to commit the crime can be shortened to 10 o'clock." At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Xiangu left the Nine-Storied Pagoda, and at 9 o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the Nine-Storied Pagoda. Only you have the possibility."
Huoshouzuo frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Gu Liang: "You mentioned repeatedly just now, judging from the note, judging from the note... who can guarantee that the content of the note must be true?"
Huoshouzuo's words are indeed reasonable.
Gu Liang was not in a good mood before, and Yang Ye was probably one of the real culprits. He was always thinking about how to help Yang Ye.
Yang Ye guessed the same. He had been thinking about how to persuade Gu Liang, comfort Gu Liang, and devote less energy to the case than when he was investigating the case before.
Therefore, Huoshouzuo's words woke them up, and the two of them realized now that they had fallen into a big misunderstanding earlier.
