Since there was a glass door at the end of the corridor, he probably jumped down from the balcony outside the sliding door into the courtyard and left.
"If I catch up at that time, I will definitely be able to catch that man; but I am worried about the safety of the young lady..."
Yuan Zhuang gritted his teeth and described the situation at that time.
Because he always thought that the wake was to be kept until dawn, he didn't know that the ceremony was over, and of course he didn't know that Zhu Shi had returned to the room. Later, he heard Zhu Shi's screams and rushed back to find out.
"No, I didn't see his face because he had a scarf wrapped around his face..."
When Yuan Zhuang and Zhu Wenye ran back to the living room to take care of Zhu Shi, Xin Youzhi and his father Xin Ji also arrived. While everyone was discussing the matter, another scream suddenly came from outside.
The scream was sharp, long-lasting, and mixed with the sound of wind and rain.
When everyone heard this voice, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"It sounded like a man's voice."
Zhu Shi said in shock.
"Yes, it came from the observation tower."
Xin Youzhi narrowed his eyes timidly.
"Could it be cousin Zuo Qing?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Shi jumped up immediately.
"Let's go take a look together! Yuan Zhuang, go get a flashlight."
At this time, it was pouring rain outside. The group of people were walking when they suddenly saw Zhu Yin and Master Zhiqing coming towards them.
"What's going on? That scream just now..."
Zhu Yin asked urgently.
"I don't know, but we suspect it's Zuo Qing's voice."
Xin Youzhi answered uneasily.
Next, the group went straight to the observation deck, only to find a man lying motionless under the stairs of the observation deck. Zhu Shi almost tripped over him.
"Ah! There is a person here... Yuan Zhuang, get the flashlight quickly!"
It turned out that it was Zuo Qing who made the scream! When the flashlight light shone on Zuo Qing's face, the group couldn't help shouting and took a big step back.
Zuo Qing was not dead, he was just knocked unconscious by the opponent's right hook. But when he was knocked down, the mask on his face flew off, so what was exposed now was an indescribably terrifying face, with shapeless dark red flesh from his nose to his cheeks!
Zhu Wenye screamed immediately when he saw this, but Zhu Shi opened his eyes wide and kept staring at that terrifying face.
*******
Tian Chunda asked Zuo Qing again.
Zuo Qing said that he rushed out as soon as he heard Zhu Shi's cry, and happened to see someone walking towards the observation deck, but when he ran there, the person suddenly attacked him at the bottom of the stairs..."
"I see."
Zuo Qing seemed very depressed this morning, because when he was in a coma last night, everyone saw his ugly face. It didn't matter if others saw it, but even Zhu Shi saw it. No wonder Zuo Qing was so sad and depressed.
"By the way, Captain Tian, do you know the whereabouts of the masked man?" Zuo Qing asked.
"It's not clear yet. But this is just a small town, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out the whereabouts of that person."
"That man should have left some footprints, right?"
"Well, we found a lot of muddy shoe prints in Zhu Shi's living room and bedroom, but we couldn't find any shoe prints outside the building. Because it rained last night, all the shoe prints were washed away, so it's difficult Find out where this person fled to.”
Tian Chunda thought silently and said to Director Yang and Hao Dong: "What happened last night is of great significance to us! Because it can prove that the masked man is not caused by anyone currently living in Hongli's house. A person in disguise."
"Yes! I think so too. But, Captain Tian, who is this person? What role did he play in this incident?"
Tian Chunda shook his head gently.
"I don't understand this either. However, this person must have some connection with the Hongli family, because he first filled in the Hongli family's address in Nanguang on the passenger registration book, and last night he went to Zhu Shi's room to look for something... …”
Director Yang nodded, looked at Tian Chunda and said, "Yes! This person even knows the internal structure of the Hongli family very well!"
"Well, the construction method of Hongli's house is very complicated. I have been here two or three times, and I still can't figure out the geographical environment of this house. But this person can actually find Zhu Shi's room smoothly, which shows that he has a deep understanding of Hongli's house. The geography is pretty clear.”
Director Yang thought quietly for a while, then took a deep breath and said: "In short, as long as we catch that man, the truth will be revealed. Before, we always thought that someone was disguised as that man, and the search direction was deviated. Fortunately, now it has been Once we figure this out, I believe we can definitely catch that man.”
However, the matter was not as simple as Director Yang thought, because no matter how vigorously the police searched, there was still no trace of the masked man in military uniform.
The only clue is that on November 15th, that is, in the evening of the day Zhu Wenwu was killed, many people saw this man getting off the train at Shanghongye Station; many people even saw him walking from Shanghongye Station to shanghongye Station. Red leaves. And that train departed from Nanguang and went south, so the man was probably from Nanguang.
It can be seen that the man's real destination should be Kamihongye.
Because there is also a train station in Shimohongye, if he wants to go to Shimohongye, he should take another station to Shimohongye.
However, the reason why that person deliberately walked to Shimomoji and stayed at Kashiwaya Inn was probably because it was inconvenient to stay at a hotel in Kamomiji!
Since several people had seen the man walking out of the cypress house, and three of them even said they saw such a man in the back hill, the police immediately sent people to investigate the surrounding mountainous area, but the results were still in vain.
In short, there has been no news about this man since then.
As the police searched, days passed day by day until November 25, the tenth day after Zhu Wenwu was killed, when a second murder occurred in Hong Li's family.
What is incredible is that the person who caused this incident was Zhu Shi.
****
Since it was a beautiful day with clear skies, even though the wind was blowing coldly, it still felt very comfortable under the warm sunshine.
On this day, Zhu Shi rowed the boat to the lake in the sunshine.
Of course, today she was secretly traveling alone in a small boat without telling Yuan Zhuang. Because since the boat incident, Yuan Zhuang has not allowed her to row a boat again.
In the past few days, Zhu Shi had been feeling very depressed. Not only was she being questioned by the police every day, but she also had to endure the Hongli family's looks that were mixed with hatred, flattery and jealousy at her from time to time. She felt like she was suffocating.
Among them, the fierce offensive launched by Xin Youzhi's family against her was particularly unbearable.
