Ning Shu asked, "You said that you heard the guests in the restaurant talking about the secret passage and Xue Hongyi after they were drunk. Was it the same guest? Do you still remember what the guest looked like? "
"It was not the same group. A few old guests mentioned Xue Hongyi. I heard from the shopkeeper that they were old friends who had been having fun in Xi City all year round. They always liked to get together and talk about the past. The one who mentioned the secret passage came alone and asked for a private room. Then, he drank and sang. After he got drunk, he pulled me aside and said drunken things. The man looked like he was in his forties. He looked ordinary and wore gray clothes. However, he looked very thin. His whole body was dry and his voice was very hoarse. It was like … "Zhou Yang thought for a long time before he found the right words," The sound of sandpaper hitting wood was very scary. He only came once and never came again. "
Ning Shu turned back to look at Xiahou Qing. Both of them frowned at the same time. They tacitly thought of a person who had disappeared without a trace for a long time: the advisor in gray who manipulated Xiao Yun Yan behind the scenes and then disappeared without a trace!
As for the other details, Zhou Yang could not recall them no matter how hard he racked his brains. Ning Shu could only comfort Zhou Yang with a few words before walking out with Tan Siwei and Xiahou Qing.
Ning Shu said, "I suspect that this is a carefully planned framing."
Hui Mo was curious, "How do you know?"
Ning Shu explained, "Yesterday, Tan Shaoqing and I found the shape of a pair of footprints behind the wooden ladder. It means that someone has been standing there. The footprints are very clear, which means that the person has been standing there for a long time. Since Zhou Yang was willing to admit that the bloody footprints at the crime scene were left by him and that he was the one who opened the door, there was no need for him to lie about such a small detail. If the person standing behind the wooden ladder was not Zhou Yang, then it could only be the murderer. In addition, Zhou Yang said that he did not pay attention to the door lock after he left in a panic. So, who relocked the door? Could it be that from the time Zhou Xiang entered the building to the time he left, there was someone quietly standing behind the wooden ladder, silently observing his every move in the dark? "
Tan Siwei's expression was equally solemn as he shook his head with a sigh. "If that's really the case, then the culprit can be considered to have used up all his tricks."
After he understood, Hui Mo couldn't help but shiver in the hot weather. He was dumbfounded.
It was more than just scheming. It was simply terrifying. He had set up such a huge trap, leading Zhou Xiang to take the initiative to become his helper, helping him open the secret door to the Search Fang Platform. After killing the envoy, he had led Zhou Xiang to become his scapegoat step by step. As for him, he had been standing in the impenetrable darkness from beginning to end. Not even a single strand of his hair had been seen. Perhaps even the devil could not compare to this kind of scheming!
Xiahou Qing said, "I don't believe that there is an unbreakable mechanism in this world. As long as there is a trace of wind, we can follow that trace of wind to find the hidden gap."
Ning Shu looked at him in agreement. "I think so too."
Xiahou Qing followed her voice and lowered his head. In the empty dungeon, his voice had the texture of jade knocking on celadon. "Which entrance are you going to choose next?"
"Now, I'm mainly suspicious of two people."
Before Ning Shu finished speaking, Xiahou Qing had already understood. "Li E 'er and Susu?"
Ning Shu nodded. "Yes, it's the two of them."
Tan Siwei said, "Hasn't Li E 'er already cleared her name? Why do you still suspect her? "
Ning Shu calmly said, "The suspicious points about Susu are clearer. According to what Zhou Xiang said, he was indeed going to kill someone that night. Moreover, if the envoys happened to stay overnight in Susu's room, he was going to kill both of them. But things are so mysterious. The envoy left early and died, but Susu was left alive. Was she really that lucky, or was there some other reason? In addition, she had a hidden illness before, but she still accepted the envoy as a guest. It's worth thinking about.
As for Li E 'er, it's impossible for her to kill someone, but it doesn't mean that she has completely eliminated her relationship with the case. On the contrary, there are two things that I think are very strange about her. First, the first thing she said when she saw me was' Benefactor, why did you save me? This case started with me. I have a sin that can't be washed away. 'Where did this sin come from? Even if she wanted to take the blame, the envoy humiliated her first. He was her enemy. Even if she wanted to avenge herself, it was not against the law, but it was understandable. She shouldn't have such thoughts. Second, her actions. That night, Zhou Xiang went to take revenge behind her back, but she, the real victim, went to the Da Xiangguo Temple and knelt in front of the Buddha statue for the whole night. That Buddha statue is a double-faced Buddha. One side is fate, the other side is regret. Which side is she kneeling on? "
