"What did you think of?" Long Guo was startled and asked with a frown.
"When we found evidence that the seventh young man was a sacrifice, we felt that his suspicion was greatly reduced, but that may not be the case."
Shu Li pointed at Miss Yi's diary and continued: "Your guess is basically correct, but..."
"If it's true that outsiders become something, why can't they be the ones who offer sacrifices?"
Long Guo understood instantly, but still had doubts: "Can people who are not villagers also offer sacrifices?"
"Maybe." Shu Li said: "From the beginning to now, the clues we have learned tell us that outsiders can also become villagers."
"Then, why can't we become the village chief of Fengshi Village through sacrifice?"
With this guess, Shu Li and Long Guo focused on Miss Yi's diary and records of sacrifices.
Soon, it was noon.
The six people gathered in front of the mountain temple, and the discussion location was set in the outer hall of the temple.
When Shu Li and Long Guo entered, the other four people had already sat down.
I don't know who among them redeemed it with points, or I don't know where it was moved from. There is an extremely gorgeous rectangular stone table in the open area of the hall.
Qizhen sat facing the door, holding her chin with her hands intertwined, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
To his right are Miss Yi and Wan Hai, and to his left is an empty seat, followed by the player playing the role of Second Uncle Su.
Shu Li took a look and felt that the position next to Qizhen was really unlucky, so she took a seat before Long Guo.
Although this position is face to face with Qizhen, the distance is still acceptable.
Long Guo didn't know what was going on. Shu Li hadn't told him about Qizhen yet. He just assumed that Shu Li didn't want to take more than two steps, so he walked over and sat down with a cool face.
At this point, the discussion officially begins.
Several people didn't speak at first. It was Tourist Yi who suggested talking about their respective timelines first, starting with herself. Only then did some people gradually speak up.
According to everyone's suspected hands-on time, the day before the deceased was found, the first person to come here was Long Guo, at 2:30 pm yesterday.
Next is Wan Hai, who plays Wan Qingnian. He claimed that he came here at 3:50 pm to pick up something. But he found that the item had been stolen and returned without success.
He claimed that he did not find any other strange figures at the time, which also confirmed Long Guo's innocence.
Then Shu Li came here at 4:40 and stayed until about 6 o'clock. Almost everyone present believed that the magic circle outside the temple was Shu Li's handiwork, and she directly admitted it.
At this point, Wan's innocence was also confirmed.
Then Shu Li looked at the remaining three people who had not spoken yet expressionlessly.
In this scene, the premise that the person who is not the real culprit cannot lie actually saved Shuli a lot of points.
Miss Yi coughed lightly and told her timeline.
She confessed that she had not been here before hearing the news that Jia was dead.
Then came Second Uncle Su, who was the same. After cleaning up the mountain temple and banning others from entering and exiting, I only came here this morning.
However, Second Uncle Su confessed that he and Jia met at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Moreover, because of the other party's extremely arrogant attitude, the two had a dispute and even got into a fight.
Then, everyone's eyes fell on Qizhen, who still didn't speak.
He still maintained the same posture as before. If he hadn't blinked from time to time, Shu Li would have thought he died here.
Even now, with so many people staring at him, he still leaned back slowly on the chair behind him, with a mocking smile on his lips.
"According to what everyone said, it seems that the biggest suspicion has fallen on me?"
"Everyone may not have this idea, but if you are afraid of being exposed as a liar, then that's not necessarily the case."
Shu Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Wan Hai on her left with some surprise.
If this sentence came from Long Guo's mouth, Shu Li would not be surprised at all. After all, it is the nature of youth to be energetic.
But coming from Wan Hai's mouth, well...
How can I put it, this contrast is like the feeling of a frog boiled in a lukewarm fire suddenly turning into a fried bullfrog.
Qizhen's reaction was even more abnormal.
After changing the irritable and reckless impression he left on Shu Li, he spoke very calmly: "But I see that everyone is very suspicious of me."
Qizhen shrugged his shoulders and spoke again without waiting for others to refute: "I entered the mountain temple in the early morning of yesterday and entered the inner hall by mistake. Because I didn't know how to get out, I was trapped inside. All day long.”
"Wait a minute!" Miss Yi said suspiciously: "That's not right. Villager Shu just said that she went in in the afternoon."
Qizhen's eyebrows and corners of his mouth were raised together, and coupled with his passable appearance, he actually had a sinister and handsome temperament.
"How can I say that we have a special relationship, and you are so eager to step on me?" His tone was even more sinister, and his sour tone made Shu Li shake her skin with goosebumps for no reason.
"Please answer the question head-on and avoid using s-s..." Long Guo also felt disgusted. At the end of the sentence, he still didn't say the word.
Qizhen looked at him sideways and put on a look of helplessness: "Okay, okay, you all don't want to see me, you are all targeting me."
"I was trapped in there and was bored, so I just rummaged through it." He said it simply, but everyone knew that he must be searching for everything.
"I don't know how long it took, but I heard the sound of someone coming in, so I found a hidden place to hide. The other person was so slow that he didn't notice me."
Shu Li was ridiculed for no reason: expressionless.JPG.
"I saw the person browsing on the bookshelf for a long time before picking up a tattered book. After reading it for a few minutes, she suddenly left with the book in her arms."
"I saw the way she was going out and followed her quietly to see what information I had missed."
"When I walked to the outer hall, I saw through the door that the other party was drawing a strange magic circle outside. She seemed very unfamiliar. She was reading a book while drawing, and many places were not connected well."
"In about an hour, she finished the painting. She returned to the inner hall, put the book back, and threw the pen in a hidden corner. I wrote down all of this."
"So after she left, I returned to the inner hall, found the book, and learned the secrets about the great sacrifice."
Qi Zhen's words ended abruptly here.
He looked at everyone with interest and did not continue speaking in a playful manner.
"I always feel that if I say these words, I will be accused of being a murderer."
"This is a terrible thing and I don't want to talk about it."
