Everyone was once again confused by Hua Yitang. They thought that Silang of the Hua family was too unreliable. First he started arguing with the Su family and made the whole banquet go crazy. Then he said that Wang Jinglu had killed someone. The words were still ringing in his ears, but he suddenly changed his story and said that the real murderer was actually Wang Jingfu - what did this playboy want to do?
Wu Da quickly tied Wang Jingfu into a rice dumpling and placed them side by side with Wang Jinglu, but did not seal Wang Jingfu's mouth. Wang Jingfu looked frightened and did not react at all for a while. Wang Jinglu glared at Wang Jingfu fiercely and made a sound in his throat. A weird giggle.
Su Feizhang on the stage sneered, "Shiro Huajia, can you tell the truth?"
Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows and looked over, "Every word of Hua's words is true."
At this point, even Prefect Chi couldn't stand listening anymore, "Hua joins the army, and the key to solving a case is real evidence. One moment you say this is the murderer, and the next you say that the murderer, where is the evidence?"
Hua Yitang said, "Wang Jingfu's answer just now is evidence."
Wang Jingfu suddenly came to his senses and said angrily: "Wang just asked Hua to join the army to handle the matter impartially. What's the problem?!"
Hua Yitang tilted his head, his eyes sparkling, "The problem is that you didn't realize there was something wrong with Hua's words."
"W-what?!"
"Tonight Hua has never brought up any murder case, especially when defending Su Julang."
Wang Jingfu's eyes widened and he looked around in confusion, but saw everyone shaking their heads and saying:
"Hanashiro and Sujuro were yelling at each other throughout the entire process, and they were making obscene remarks that were unbearable to hear!"
"Hanashiro eats dog shit and talks about it. All he talks about is... ahem, Su's romantic affair..."
"That being said, there was really no mention of a murder case, nor was there any mention of hanging."
Hua Yitang: "So, those who don't know the content of the argument between Hua and Su Julang are the suspects who were not on the sixth floor when the crime occurred!"
Wang Jingfu's expression suddenly changed.
Jin Ruo lowered his voice: "Have you also discovered that Wang Jinglu is not the murderer?"
Ling Zhiyan: "Ling just thinks this case is fishy——"
Lin Sui'an: "I just think it's too easy to get the evidence of the murderer's blood-"
It doesn’t fit the setting of the suspenseful script and the aura of Hua Yitang’s protagonist.
Jin Ruo looked unhappy and scratched his head, "Did the person named Hua find out early on?"
Ling Zhiyan shook his head to express his uncertainty, while Lin Sui'an shrugged and expressed that he didn't know.
This dandy has a detective's second grade syndrome, he loves to act, he loves to show off, and if he doesn't tell anyone, no one will be able to guess what Xiao Jiujiu is in his heart. Only through his later behavior can one deduce one or two——
"Hua Yitang said that Wang Jinglu was the murderer before, which was probably just a cover-up." Lin Sui'an said, "It must have been to make the real murderer relax his vigilance. When the real murderer thought that the danger was over, he would use words to deceive him and expose his flaws. "
Hua Yitang looked over with a smile, "The one who knows me is Lin Sui'an!"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Emotional guy really enjoys this feeling, right?
"Hua Canjun concluded that I was the murderer based on this alone. It's so ridiculous and arbitrary!" Wang Jingfu said, "At that time, Wang just went to the toilet, so he didn't hear the content of the quarrel between you and Su Jiajuro."
Hua Yitang folded a fan to cover his mouth and made an exaggerated expression, "Ah? The head of the Wang family also went to the toilet? What a coincidence." He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the bad guy came in with an attendant from Sanhualou. .
The attendant knelt down and said, "The little guy just had diarrhea and accidentally went to the toilet. He didn't mean to hear it. No, no, no -"
"Did you hear anything?" Hua Yitang asked.
The attendant was excited and kowtowed repeatedly, "I didn't hear anything!"
Hua Yitang's voice was low, "You only need to tell me whose voice you heard, and there is no need to say more about the rest."
The attendant trembled, "I heard the voices of the second son of the Wang family and the eighth son of the Zhou family."
"Are they Wang Jinglu and Zhou Gan?"
"yes."
Zhou Gan's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground.
Wang Jinglu whined and screamed, almost spitting out the rag in his mouth, but Wu Da stuffed it tighter, and Wang Jinglu's friends burst into obscene laughter.
Lin Sui'an seemed to suddenly understand something, and Ling Zhiyan frowned slightly.
"Zhou Qian, Hua asked you, who were you with at that time?" Hua Yitang said softly, "Be sure to answer truthfully!"
Zhou Qian raised his head, his pale face and dark eyes, like a puppet that had lost its soul, "I - and -" his face twitched and he clenched his collar, "Wang Jinglu is together."
"When did you come back?"
"When Sanhua Building was closed down for the first time——"
"During this period, did Wang Jinglu ever leave the sixth floor?"
"Never..."
This confirmed Wang Jinglu’s alibi. According to the normal questioning process, in order to confirm the authenticity of the testimony, the next question should be to ask what Zhou Qian and Wang Jinglu were doing at the time, but Hua Yitang changed the question to another.
"Zhou Qian, could you hear the sound of Hua and Su Julang arguing at that time?"
Zhou Qian was startled for a moment, an indescribable expression flashed across his face, and a faint red light appeared in his eyes, "I can hear it intermittently -"
"Then tell me, what case was Hua talking about at that time?"
"...It seems to be a case that was deceived by rumors——"
Hua Yitang nodded and turned to look at Wang Jingfu, "There is only one bathroom on the sixth floor. It takes two turns to get there. We are both in the bathroom. Why can Zhou Qian hear Hua's voice but you can't? The reason is very simple, because you were not on the sixth floor at that time, but you were killing people in the Yanchai Pavilion on the fifth floor!"
Wang Jingfu's face trembled wildly, "Hua Canjun's inference is too ridiculous. Zhou Qianzheng is young and has sharp ears and eyesight. I am over forty years old and have recently suffered from ear disease. Why is it strange that I can't hear distant sounds?"
"Okay, even if you are deaf, how do you explain the smell of blood in your hair?"
"When I went to the toilet, I accidentally cut my hand. This is my own blood!"
Fang Ke quickly checked Wang Jingfu's hand and nodded in Hua Yitang's direction.
Hua Yitang: "What was it that scratched it?"
Fang Ke: "Looking at the shape and depth, it should be a hairpin."
"My bun was messed up, and when I was rearranging it, I accidentally cut my hand on the hairpin." Wang Jingfu said plausibly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Hua Yitang with even more distrust.
He is indeed an unreliable dude.
Su Feizhang leaned on the couch and said, "Hua Canjun, your so-called evidence, are these baseless inferences? It's too far-fetched."
Xia Changshi quickly winked at Hua Yitang, "Hua joined the army, is there any other evidence?"
Hua Yitang shook his fan but said nothing.
Su Feizhang laughed: "Prefect Chi, based on what Su saw, an outsider must have entered the Sanhua Building, killed someone, took off his bloody clothes and escaped."
Taishou Chi: "This... is too..."
Wu Da clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates checked and found that during the night banquet, no one left the front door, the back door and the side door."
"What if you don't walk through the door, but walk over the eaves and walls?" Su Feizhang said, "For example, the world's number one thief Yun Zhongyue, didn't the head of the Wu family report to the official this morning that his wife was kidnapped by this person? Shiro, you Have you not seen this Yun Zhongyue? How is his kung fu?"
Su Yiyun: "Yun Zhongyue has outstanding lightness skills and can leap as fast as flying. If it were him, it would not be difficult for him to jump off a building and escape after killing someone."
Lin Sui'an understood that Su Feizhang took the opportunity to clear Wu Zhengli's name and put the murderous shit basin on Yun Zhongyue's head.
Governor Chi and Xia Changshi looked at each other with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Hua joins the army..."
"What you all said is very reasonable." Hua Yitang nodded and closed the fan with a snap. "In that case, let's go back to the crime scene together and review the murder case?"
Everyone: Huh? ? ?
A quarter of an hour later, Governor Chi, Xia Changshi, Wu Zhengqing, Wang Jingfu, Wang Jinglu, Su Feizhang, Su Yiyun, Duan Hongning, Shopkeeper Lu and seven elected representatives of the aristocratic family, together with Lin Sui'an, Hua Yitang and his entourage, stood in unison. Outside the door of Yanchai Pavilion.
The door of Yanchai Pavilion was closed tightly, and there was still a faint smell of blood floating in the air. Although the blood stains on the corridor floor had been cleaned, the dazzling bright red still remained in the gaps in the floor, showing the tragedy of the crime.
"When the blood stains were discovered, the door was bolted from the inside." Hua Yitang signaled. Lin Sui'an slapped the door panel with his palm. Fierce wind surged out from the door, making everyone stagger. Suddenly, someone There was a scream, and there was a person hanging on the beam of Yanchai Pavilion.
Her long black hair danced wildly in the wind, her neck and hands were hung high by leather ropes, her feet were off the ground and swaying slowly, with a knife stuck in her abdomen.
The pampered children of the aristocratic family were so frightened that they peed their butts.
"Kill people, kill people!"
"Another one dies!"
"Help!"
"Shut up!" Su Feizhang shouted, "See clearly, that's not a human being!"
Everyone looked up, trembling, and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was not a human being, but a doll made of cloth. The hair was made of horsehair, and the knife on the belly was just a wooden knife.
Everyone was furious: Who are you trying to scare to death? Could it be that Hanashiro did this on purpose?
"When we review the incident, we naturally have to try our best to restore the scene of the crime," Hua Yitang walked in, waving his fan, and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to sprinkle some chicken blood and duck blood, but unfortunately the time was too tight, so I could only arrange it hastily. I also hope that you all will pay attention."
Everyone: This guy is laughing! It was indeed intentional!
Lin Sui'an silently observed everyone's expressions. The disciples of the aristocratic family were shocked and angry. Su Feizhang and Su Yiyun looked hesitant. Chi Taishou and Xia Changshi were curious. Duan Hongning looked sad. Wu Zhengqing frowned and looked around. Wang Jinglu and Lu The shopkeeper was also frightened. Wang Jingfu's face became increasingly ugly and his pupils shrank sharply.
Hua Yitang walked forward and pointed at the hanging doll with his fan, "At that time, Minina was hanging here. There was a bloody hole in her neck, a horizontal knife was inserted into her abdomen, and her neck, hands and wrists were wrapped around her neck. One finger thick leather rope.”
Someone in the crowd said "Ah", but there was no movement again.
Hua Yitang pointed with his fan. He was a descendant of the Ma family. Lin Sui'an remembered that he was one of Wang Jinglu's "fair-weather friends".
"Brother, do you have any questions?" Hua Yitang asked.
Ma waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I just think the posture of the corpse is rather strange!"
Wang Jinglu snorted viciously in his nose.
Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows, "Hua thought this gesture was quite meaningful, so he asked the brothers from Yidu Jingmen to inquire about the news that had just been released——"
Jin Ruo took a step forward and rolled his eyes, "Wang Jinglu, the Wang family, has a hobby. When he is happy with others, he likes to hang them up with leather ropes. He only acts when they are hung up in a daze. "
Ma let out a hey, and everyone else looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Sui'an closed her eyes. She really couldn't listen anymore. Ling Zhiyan reacted even more than her. Her throat was rolling and she felt like she was about to vomit again. Fang Ji quickly stuffed a porcelain bottle into it. Ling Zhiyan hesitated for a moment. , smelled it, and looked better.
Hua Yitang: "Who knows about this?"
Jin Ruo: "Of course it's someone close to Wang Jinglu -"
Everyone looked at Wang Jingfu.
Wang Jingfu's face was gloomy and scary, "His friends know better than me!"
"Yes, this matter is not difficult to investigate." Hua Yitang circled around the doll, "Perhaps Yun Zhongyue deliberately imitated Wang Jinglu's habits in preparation for the murder."
A strange sound came out of Jin Ruo's throat and he hurriedly covered his mouth.
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Poor Yun Zhongyue, the best thief in the world turned into a brick and could be moved wherever needed.

Yun Zhongyue: Ah sneeze! Why is it suddenly cold...:,,
