"The murderer was hiding under the bed."
Rong Fei pointed to the bed in the room and said.
"Sir, we have checked and there is no one under the bed."
Manager Liu stressed helplessly.
"Still hiding there."
Rong Fei ignored Manager Liu, turned around and pointed to the corner of the room near the closet.
Everyone looked in the direction of Rong Fei's finger. The wardrobe blocked the candlelight and cast a shadow in the corner. But even so, everyone could still see clearly that there was no one in the corner, and there was no place to hide anyone.
"Sir, did you see something unclean?"
Guan Liu checked the corner of the wall first to make sure there was no ghost anywhere. Then he turned to look at Rong Fei, and saw that Rong Fei's face was serious and serious, not like he was joking, so he asked smartly.
Rong Fei ignored him, instead walked to the bed and squatted down, put his palm inside, and asked Chunxiang at the same time.
"Miss Chunxiang, will you clean under the bed frequently?"
Chunxiang did not answer when she heard this, but turned to look at the maid Xiao Wei beside her.
Xiao Wei seemed a little uneasy, and after taking a look at Manager Liu, she replied quietly.
"I am responsible for cleaning Sister Chunxiang's room. Because there have been too many guests recently, and I have to clean several rooms at the same time, so... I only cleaned the bright surface, and left out the dark areas and some corners."
After hearing this, Manager Liu frowned and glared at Xiao Weiyi fiercely.
"Well, that's true."
Rong Fei's hands randomly touched the floor at the edge of the bed. When he took his hands out, there was a lot of dust on his fingers and palms.
After wiping off the dust on his hands, Rong Fei reached under the bed again, but this time it was in the middle area.
After a few random touches, he took out his hand and showed it to everyone.
This time, Rong Fei's palms were clean and not stained with dust.
Looking at Rong Fei's clean palms, and then looking at the space under the bed that can accommodate people lying on their backs and getting in, those with quick reactions suddenly realized.
"Oh, I understand what this gentleman means. The murderer was indeed hiding under the bed, but later he changed places."
"That's not right. The only places where people can hide in the house are under the bed and in the closet. These two places have been checked, and we can see clearly that there is no one at all. The murderer will never disappear out of thin air. Well, maybe you can walk through walls?"
Everyone was talking about it for a while, and various speculations emerged one after another.
"Don't rush to conclusions yet, let me connect all the clues together, and the truth will naturally emerge."
Rong Fei raised his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, then walked to the door, stood facing the room and asked Chunxiang.
"Has Miss Chunxiang ever left the room before receiving this guest?"
"Well... I left for a little while."
Chunxiang's face turned red, she lowered her head and replied in a low voice.
"How long did you leave for? Was there anyone else in the room when you left? Is the room locked?"
"About... two cups of tea. There was no one else in the room when I left, and it was not locked."
"Can there be candles in the room when you leave?"
"It takes a long time to wash up, so I blow out the candles before leaving. This saves some candle expenses. And seeing that there is no light in the room, the uncles will not bring guests into the room."
Chunxiang's answer was as expected by Rong Fei. After nodding, Rong informally began to sort out the case.
"Suppose I am the murderer now. Miss Chunxiang just left the room for some reason. I hid in the dark and observed for a long time. Finally, I waited for the opportunity and sneaked in secretly.
Although there were many people on the verandah outside, no one noticed that I had sneaked into this room because their attention was attracted by the poetry meeting being held on the first floor.
After entering the room, I took out the tools I had prepared and cut off the candle wick. Because there are four sticks of wax in the room
If you are not sure which candle will be lit by the spring incense, simply cut all four candle wicks short, which is safer. Chinese website
After cutting off the candle wick, I hid under the bed and waited patiently for Miss Chunxiang to come back. Why should I hide under the cramped and inaccessible bed instead of in the closet? "
Rong Fei walked to the closet and reached out to open a cabinet door. The door made a slight creaking sound.
When I opened another cabinet door, there was still a creaking sound.
Close the two cabinet doors, squeak... squeak, and two more light squeaks.
"Because the cupboard door made a sound when it was opened and closed, in order to avoid being noticed when I committed the murder, I had to hide under the bed. The next step was to wait for Chunxiang to come back and light the candles. Not long after, the guests came into the room, and the two of them played hide and seek. Game. When the cotton wick in the candle burns out, the room falls into darkness.
The eyes are adaptable to light. If the light suddenly disappears, it will take some time for the eyes to adapt to the sudden darkness. During this time, basically nothing can be seen. Since I had been staying under the dimly lit bed, it was obviously faster for me to adapt.
At this time, I got out from under the bed, walked behind the guest, covered his mouth with one hand to silence him, and stabbed him to death with a knife in the other hand. After that, I gently lowered the body and placed the murder weapon next to the body. I then raised and released one of the arms of the body. The sound of the arm hitting the floor attracted Chunxiang's attention. I took the opportunity to walk between the closet and the corner. Hide it in the gap.
Chunxiang tripped over the corpse and touched the dagger with blood on her hands according to my plan. Then Xiao Wei noticed something unusual and entered the room, lighting the candle on the dressing table. Because the light of the candle on the dressing table was blocked by the wardrobe, and the shadow of the wardrobe was cast into the corner, I was wearing clothes with the same color as these... brothers. "
Rong Fei pointed at a turtle man and said.
The turtles in Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower all wear cloth shirts of the same style and color, short attire for easy work and dark gray for carrying dirt.
"Wearing clothes of this color and hiding in the shadows, it is difficult to be discovered as long as you don't check specifically. It turned out just as I expected. Chunxiang and Xiaowei were both frightened and did not notice my existence at all. Then Manager Liu rushed into the room with a group of people.
Hehe, the most ingenious move in the whole plan has appeared. Just when Manager Liu rushed in with his people, and everyone's attention was attracted by the deceased and Chunxiang, I quietly walked out from the corner and sneaked in.
In this way, the three steps of killing, framing and escaping, the whole plan was successfully completed. "
Everyone was still immersed in Rong Fei's narration, analysis and performance. After a while, they realized that Rong Fei had finished speaking.
Some people are still not finished, but some people have already reacted.
Manager Liu suddenly jumped forward a few steps to keep a safe distance from the people around him, then with a gloomy face he reached out and pointed at the thugs and Turtle Gong one by one and said viciously.
"One person is responsible for the work. Who killed the person? If you are a man, then stand up for yourself!"
The two thugs and the five turtle men looked at each other, and they all shook their heads and waved their hands, shouting that they were wronged, and declared that they were not the murderers.
Manager Liu was also very intelligent at this time. After taking a look at the height of the bed, he said to the two tall and strong thugs.
"You two go guard the door and don't let anyone leave until you find the murderer."
The two thugs let out a sigh of relief, walked to the door happily and stood on the left and right like door gods.
The bottom of the bed was only about a foot away from the ground. The two thugs were burly and had heads much larger than ordinary people. They couldn't fit into the small space, so they were ruled out as suspects first.
Rong Fei had no objection to Manager Liu's move and just stood aside and quietly observed the expressions of the five turtle masters.
"Hmph, there are only five of you guys left. Tell us who did it."
"Manager Liu Mingjian, you know me. I usually don't even dare to kill a chicken. How can I have the courage to kill someone?"
"Manager Liu, you also know me. If I had this brain, I wouldn't do this."
"Manager Liu, you..."
The five people all told the reasons why they were not the murderers.
Manager Liu's eyes scanned the faces of the five people one by one, but he couldn't see any clues. In the end, he could only ask Rongfei for help.
"It's easy to find out the real culprit."
Rong Fei smiled slightly and asked Manager Liu.
"Among the eight of you, who will be the first to enter the room?"
"it's me."
Manager Liu raised his hand and answered.
"Who is following Manager Liu?"
"it's me."
One of the thugs standing at the door raised his hand in response, and then the other thug took the initiative and spoke without waiting for Rong Fei to ask.
"I was the third one to come in."
"Who can prove it to you two?"
Rong Fei asked.
"I, I, I... I can prove it to them. I was following behind them, and I complained a few times in my mind because they were too wide and blocked my view, hehehe."
A turtle man raised his hand and answered.
"That means you are the fourth one to come in, so who can prove it to you?"
"Sir, I can prove that I have been following him. And I have been following Lao Yao."
One turtle raised his hand to prove to the previous person, and then pointed to the other turtle to prove himself. At the same time, the two of them were proving each other.
In this way, the order in which the four turtle men, including Manager Liu and the two thugs, entered the room has been determined. Everyone's eyes are looking at the only turtle man left who no one can prove to him.
Rong Fei remembered this Mr. Turtle. It was he who first asked Manager Liu if he needed to report to the government, but he was scolded by Manager Liu.
"Zheng Hang, what did you say?"
Manager Liu stared at the turtle named Zheng Hang with a gloomy face and asked sternly.
"Hehehehe, the matter has come to this, what else can I say. Hehehehe, this master is so powerful. I thought that the method that was perfect was actually cracked by you so easily."
Zheng Hang acted very bachelor at this time and admitted his crime very naturally. However, Manager Liu didn't even look at the person who asked the question. Instead, he raised his hand towards Rong Fei and praised him.
"There's just one thing I want to find out. Manager Liu keeps calling you "sir", so which yamen are you? I, Zheng Hang, am quite familiar with all the yamen of Kyoto City. It's impossible for a person with wine and rice bags to see through my arrangement. Now I can't escape the situation of certain death, but I don't want to die without knowing it. I hope this gentleman can tell me frankly so that Zheng Hang can know at the hands of whom he lost? "
