Everyone present looked at each other with vigilance, fearing that the person next to them was the murderer hidden among the crowd! !
"Mr. Chen, I don't think that's necessarily the case!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the scene fell silent!
Immediately afterwards, everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from. Then, they saw an unexpected person.
Dream beauty! !
This woman, who had barely spoken during the entire case, finally spoke for the first time at this moment, and as soon as she spoke, she raised doubts about Chen Yutian's inference.
"Don't misunderstand me. The little lady has no other intentions. She just feels that there are some flaws in Mr. Chen's words, so she raises questions." She looked at the slightly surprised eyes of everyone present, smiled faintly, and stared at Chen Yutian, She opened her red lips lightly and said, "Mr. Chen, you inferred that the murderer is hiding among us based on the fact that the traces at the scene were cleaned up by the murderer. The little girl feels that such an argument is not too substantial. After all, the murderer is also possible. I really just don’t want any clues about myself to be left at the scene! After all, this way, I can be more sure that the crime I committed will not be discovered by anyone. What do you think?”
Hearing this, everyone present nodded slightly after pondering for a moment.
Indeed, judging from the murderer’s psychology after committing the crime, cleaning up the scene should be the most likely thing to do! After all, the murderer was a highly skilled martial artist who lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, so it was impossible for ordinary people to become panicked and helpless after committing a murder.
From this point of view, Chen Yutian's inference is indeed a bit far-fetched.
Chen Yutian smiled slightly, looked at Meng Hongyan, and smiled.
"Miss Meng's words do make sense, but the reason why I said the murderer is hidden among us is that besides what I just said, there is another point that can be explained."
"I wonder which point it is?" Meng Hongyan asked.
Chen Yutian smiled faintly and looked at everyone present, "I wonder if everyone still remembers it? After we found Senior Le's body, the body should have been dead for nearly half an hour, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"Then do you still remember how long after we collectively left the villa, we found Senior Le's body?"
Everyone looked at each other, obviously no one remembered this question.
"It's about half an hour." Yuan Wuji suddenly said.
Chen Yutian glanced at this person with some surprise. He didn't expect that he seemed indifferent to this case on weekdays, but he could even notice such small details.
This person is not simple! !
After giving Yuan Wuji a definition in his heart, Chen Yutian nodded slightly and continued to say to Meng Hongyan: "Yes. It was about half an hour! Maybe someone will ask again, does this have anything to do with the case? ? Please think about it carefully. We found the body half an hour after we left the villa, and the deceased killed Senior Le just when we left the villa to look for someone. In terms of time, this is really too much of a coincidence. It’s too much of a coincidence to believe.”
"Let's just treat this as a coincidence. After killing Senior Le, the murderer went to great lengths to clean up the scene and move the body. So many actions, plus the murderer's cleaning of the scene. It’s really too detailed, so I believe these things should take a lot of time.”
Hearing this, Hao Qian nodded slightly.
Yes, even if the other party is highly skilled, if you want to clean up all traces of yourself at the scene, it will definitely require a lot of time and energy, and you must be careful enough.
Otherwise, an oversight may result in overlooking an extremely important detail.
"After the murderer has done all this, I believe there won't be much time left in half an hour. So relatively speaking, the time he has to escape from the scene will naturally become very little. So I think it is impossible to escape from that cedar forest directly in a short period of time."
Hearing this, Meng Hongyan nodded slightly, "Yes, the little girl has also calculated that in that pine forest. With our perfect ability to separate the Gang Qi from the body, even if we use the best flying technique to escape, it will be enough." It takes one stick of incense to span, and the scene where we found the body was extremely close to the cliff. It is indeed impossible for the murderer to leave the dense forest in a short period of time. It’s just that I still don’t quite understand. Is this related to Mr. Chen’s judgment just now? "
"Of course!"
Chen Yutian nodded with certainty and continued, "Since Miss Meng, you also said that the murderer could not escape from the dense forest in a short time, that means that after everyone found the body, it should be impossible for the murderer to escape from the pine forest. Then the question arises, if the murderer did not escape from the pine forest, why did Senior Qin immediately go around the pine forest to look for the murderer after seeing the body of Senior Le, but still found nothing?"
Meng Hongyan frowned slightly, "Maybe he hid, so Qin Wuxi didn't find him."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "This is indeed an explanation, but even if the murderer intends to hide it, I think it will be very difficult to hide it from the spiritual detection of a master with the Gang Qi separation level! Especially that one At that time, Qin Wuxi wholeheartedly wanted to find the murderer and avenge Senior Le, I think he should have opened his spiritual sense to be extremely keen."
Everyone present who knew martial arts nodded.
A warrior's spiritual sense has always been extremely keen, especially at that time when Qin Wuxi was very emotional and highly focused, his spiritual sense would be sharper than usual. This was common knowledge that all warriors knew.
And in this state, it is indeed very difficult for the murderer to hide from his perception!
"And as Miss Meng said, the murderer is a cautious person who will strictly clean up the scene after killing someone without leaving any trace. He will not take such desperate risks and put himself in a situation where he may be killed at any time. To the point of discovery! This is definitely not something that a cautious person can do!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Chen Yutian and nodded slightly.
At this moment, Meng Hongyan also felt that what Chen Yutian said made sense, so she asked: "In Mr. Chen's opinion, what method would a person like the murderer use?"
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "Since the murderer is an extremely cautious person, he will definitely put himself in an absolutely safe place. And given the situation at that time, which place would be the safest place?"
Everyone present looked at each other suddenly, not knowing what to say.
After all, in their opinion, the situation at that time would not be absolutely safe anywhere in the dense forest, because they could be discovered by Qin Wuxi who was frantically searching for the murderer's revenge at any time, and the murderer would not be able to escape from the dense forest in a short period of time, so from this point of view Come on, under the circumstances, the murderer probably couldn't find an absolutely safe place.
"I think there should be no such place!" Wu Linling hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly.
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly and smiled, "No, under the circumstances at that time, there was indeed an absolutely safe place, and that was the scene where he had cleaned up and committed the crime! That was definitely the safest place !”
"What?" Everyone's faces showed extremely surprised looks!
But Chen Yutian ignored everyone's reactions this time, and continued his analysis: "I think the murderer's plan is this: While we are looking for Senior Le together, he kills Senior Le first, and then After cleaning up the scene and removing the corpse, he hid somewhere not too far away from the scene until one of us discovered the corpse and sent out a call signal, then he pretended He acted as if nothing had happened and pretended to come from a distance to meet us. In this way, he could artificially put himself in a place that was absolutely safe for himself."
Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Meng Hongyan's face.
I have to say that the possibility that Chen Yutian mentioned is indeed very high! And based on the murderer's extremely cautious character, this method does seem to be the method he would use.
But if this method wants to be successful, there is a prerequisite.
"It is precisely based on the above analysis that I said at the beginning that the murderer is actually hiding among us! After all, this method can only succeed if the murderer is someone we are familiar with!" Chen Yutian looked at it He looked at Meng Hongyan and smiled.
"I see... Mr. Chen makes such a bold assumption, clearly understands everything, and carefully verifies it... This little girl is willing to be defeated!"
Meng Hongyan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and smiled brightly, and then bowed to Chen Yutian Yingying.
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and waved his hand quickly, "Miss Meng is too polite. It's just a fluke that I found those clues. But Miss Meng was able to point out the shortcomings in my words. It shows that the young lady is quick in thinking. If the young lady also knew in advance With these clues in mind, I think the analysis made by the young lady should not be worse than the one below!"
Meng Hongyan smiled brightly, "Young Master Chen, thank you very much... Please continue, Young Master. Since Young Master has already said that the murderer is among us, we don't know who he is?"
"This is about the murder of senior Qin Wuxi..." Chen Yutian smiled lightly.
"Oh? Qin Wuxi?" Everyone was slightly stunned.
"I think everyone should remember, right? At noon when Senior Qin Wuxi died, he did not appear here on time to have lunch with everyone, but because he and others had gone to the pine forest to ambush the man the night before, The man in white who was wandering outside was defeated by the other party and was severely injured. So at that time, we all thought that he just didn't come to the banquet hall for a normal lunch because he was seriously injured and needed a rest, right?"
"That's right! It's true!" Ling Ruoyin nodded.
"And I remember that after that, Gu Huang took the initiative to deliver food to Qin Wuxi, but because we didn't trust him, we sent Miss Wu to follow her to prevent her from causing any mishaps on the way to deliver the food. And after that, they came back After that, they all said in unison that Qin Wuxi just needed to rest because he was too seriously injured, and that he would go find something to eat if he was hungry."
"Yes, that's right! I remember that too!!" Hao Gan nodded.
Chen Yutian also nodded slightly, looked at Ling Ruoyin, and smiled.
"Yes, this is indeed what happened, but Miss Ling, I wonder if you still remember what you once told me: Preconceptions are sometimes the scariest things?"
"What do you mean..." After hearing this, Ling Ruoyin's expression changed instantly!
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, the situation is exactly the same as what you are thinking now!"
Ling Ruoyin's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
Hao Qian, on the other hand, was confused and looked at Ling Ruoyin and Chen Yutian blankly, not knowing what they were talking about.
Chen Yutian explained: "You are right. They did lie at that time! In fact, Qin Wuxi had already died on the Soul-Desolating Cliff at that time. The reason why they did this was to create trouble for all of us. An illusion that Senior Qin Wuxi was still alive at that time was used to delay the discovery of the body. Because the body was left in the ice and snow of Duanhun Cliff, as long as it lasted more than half a day, the body would be completely frozen. Come on, even with the most powerful fraud, it is difficult to judge the time of death of the deceased. This causes us to misjudge the time of death and use this to create an alibi for ourselves!"
"What?" Hearing this, Hao Qian was immediately shocked beyond measure!
Wu Linling also looked at Gu Huang in shock, with a hint of bewilderment flashing across his expression!
"According to what you said, could the murderer be..." Ling Ruoyin's expression moved slightly, and she looked vaguely at Gu Huang, who was sitting in front of the maids with a surprised look on his face.
If she remembered correctly, Gu Huang also helped with the search after Le Wuhuan was killed.
"No, she shouldn't be the murderer!" Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, denying Ling Ruoyin's guess.
Ling Ruoyin was slightly startled, "Why?"
"Because after Le Wuhuan died, she searched with me." Lin Dao stood up and said calmly, "Didn't I keep monitoring her all the time that day? That's why I searched for Le Wuhuan that day. At that time, I followed her all the time and never left my sight from beginning to end, so I can prove that she was not able to complete the murder process mentioned by Brother Chen."
Hearing this, Gu Huang breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing this, Ling Ruoyin and Hao Qian couldn't help but look at the person next to them.
"If... Gu Huang is not the murderer, then the murderer can only be..."
"That's right!" At this moment, Chen Yutian pointed at a person in the field and said in a very positive tone, "The real culprit who caused all these murders is the other fabricator of this lie. That’s you… Wu Linling!!”
As soon as the word Wu Linling was pronounced, the eyes of Ling Ruoyin and Hao Qian were fixed on Wu Linling's pretty face at the same time!
