Daming King of Punishment

"Then let's go back to eat and chat while eating." Situ Wen suggested immediately.

After the four of them left Lord Hou's mansion, they returned directly to the inn.

There were not many people in the inn at noon, the four of them found a corner and sat down, asked Xiao Er to order some food, and waited patiently.

"Brother Wu Ya, how did you say that the people in that room got out?"

Bai Zhuo asked Song Wuya suspiciously, he just knew that this matter was definitely not what a ghost said, someone must be playing tricks.

Judging from the situation at the time, that room was a secret room, and there must be someone in it, otherwise how would she get the bloody handprints on the window.

Therefore, the black shadow they saw at that time was the person who was secretly playing tricks in the room, and this person was definitely a woman.

"At that time, they were all gathered in front of the house, and it was absolutely impossible for the people in that house to slip away from their noses. But after they entered, there was nothing in the house, which is amazing. Finished All of this is not difficult, the difficulty lies in how she quietly left the room under the gaze of so many eyes. She has completed a secret room, and we obviously have no clues to unlock her means." Song Wu Ya was also troubled by this problem, and the case in the secret room had no flaws.

Bai Zhuo frowned slightly, and after rolling his eyes a few times, he said solemnly: "Could it be that she did all this outside, but because of the shadow, people thought it was done inside the house."

"There should be no such possibility. At that time, so many people watched, the shadow was in the room, and the bloody handprints on the window also appeared one after another. All this can only be caused in the room. And the shadow was in the room at that time. It should be impossible to fake it. If she is outside the house, it is very difficult to do this. Even if she uses some method to make the shadow appear inside the house, there are so many bloody handprints She couldn't do it." Song Wuya didn't think it was done by someone outside the house, it must have been done from inside, but they just used a method they couldn't think of to leave the room without being noticed.

The two talked about this matter, but Situ Wen and Xiaohuan were at a loss as they didn't know the ins and outs of the haunting.

"By the way, it's not easy for the two of you to solve this problem. Why don't you let me tell Xiaohuan what we found?" The expression on Situ Wen's face was completely different from their seriousness, and she even smiled happily.

Seeing the smile on Situ Wen's face, Song Wuya felt very weird, thinking that she had discovered something that made her so happy.

"Wen'er, you can still laugh. Did you find something funny?" To be honest, Song Wuya was really curious, where did Situ Wen get such a smile.

Even with his curious inquiry, the smile on Situ Wen's face still did not dissipate.

Listening to the question, Situ Wen slowly took out some balls of yellow paper from her sleeve.

"You see what this is?"

Situ Wen unfolded the balls of paper as she spoke, and it turned out to be a few pieces of yellow paper.

Putting them together, and looking carefully, I found that it turned out to be a talisman seal.

"This is a piece of talisman, what's so strange about it?" Song Wuya was very puzzled, it was just a piece of talisman, and it wasn't something important, after all, she was also concerned about the haunting of the Hou Ye Mansion. knew.

Indeed, finding a rune paper here is really nothing to be curious about.

Lord Hou had been dead for more than two months, and the monk was still chanting scriptures in the yard. It was reasonable to find a few Taoist priests to paste a few talisman papers to avoid evil spirits.

Seeing Song Wuya's disapproval, Situ Wen rolled his eyes at him and explained: "There is nothing to be curious about this talisman, but this talisman is not a complete talisman, it is a broken talisman Paper, someone tore it up."

"Miss Situ, it's not a big deal to tear up a piece of talisman paper, right? After all, some people look at it and think it can suppress evil spirits, but in the eyes of others, it's just a piece of yellow paper. Brother Wuya, what do you say? Is this the truth?"

Bai Zhuo said disapprovingly, he didn't think the yellow paper was important, but thought it was an ordinary thing.

Situ Wen also glared at him: "This yellow talisman must have appeared after it was confirmed that the Houye Mansion was haunted. At that time, everyone in the Houye Mansion knew that it was haunted. At that time, even if they didn't believe that the haunted mansion was real, , When they see this yellow talisman, can they still tear it up? Isn’t this sincerely looking for bad luck for themselves? So, the person who tore this yellow talisman is very likely to be the perpetrator.”

Such an inference is not unreasonable, and Song Wuya agrees.

"It's not impossible to say that. After we first learned about this case, we were almost certain that the murderer who killed Lord Hou was in this Lord's mansion. This haunting theory must be just a means for the murderer to get rid of suspicion. .Speaking of which, her methods are not very clever. We have seen many such examples. However, this time the murderer turned out to be a woman, which makes me very curious."

Bai Zhuo also answered from the side: "Brother Wu Ya, I think you made this matter simple!"

"Oh? Brother Bai, what's your opinion?" Song Wuya turned to look at Bai Zhuo who was beside him.

Bai Zhuo said: "The reason why you judged that the murderer is a woman is only because of the shadow in that room and the bloody handprints left on the window. But these things may not be true, they may be forged. Besides , we haven't thought about the murderer's motive for killing, and the large amount of blood in that room."

The first thousand and 110 five chapters organize the clues

?Chapter 110 organizes clues

At this time, Bai Zhuo became serious.But what he said was right. This case is very complicated, and there are many things that cannot be explained clearly, and they don't know what is going on.

"The large amount of blood, we originally speculated that it seemed to be covering something. At the scene before, Brother Bai, you also saw something similar to bloody fingerprints under the bloodstains on the window. If these bloodstains are to cover up these bloody fingerprints , Could it be that there are some important clues left on the bloody handprint? Or, that the murderer who killed Lord Hou was the one who pretended to be a ghost?"

Song Wuya made some simple analysis of the murderer, in his opinion these things can be completely connected.At least the bloody handprints and haunting are the same thing, and the death of Master Hou and the blood stains all over the room are enough to show that there is a relationship between them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his question was uttered, Situ Wen said, "Wu Ya, I think the murderer and the pretender may be two different people."

"Oh? Wen'er, tell me your opinion." Song Wuya was surprised, what did Situ Wen think of.

It is Song Wuya's usual method to give a question first, and then think around the question.

Situ Wen immediately said: "If the person who killed Lord Hou was the one pretending to be a ghost, then she could leave bloody handprints on the scene and blame Lord Hou's death on the revenge of the ghost. But she didn't do that. Instead, a lot of bloodstains were created to cover up all of this. Isn’t this a strange thing? As Wu Ya said, is it because the bloody fingerprints revealed the murderer’s identity? Or did you mean to create a lot of bloodstains? Is it to protect the person who left the bloody handprint?"

It's hard to say whether the murderer is the woman pretending to be a ghost, but there are two bloodstains on the scene, which is absolutely very clear.

"Let's start from the beginning and list the problems one by one, and then we will solve these problems bit by bit."

Such random thinking is not the answer, Song Wuya immediately made a plan to analyze the matter from the beginning.

"First of all, Lord Hou brought back a lot of women from outside. Who are these women and how were they brought into the mansion by Lord Hou. And we can't ignore another problem. Almost all of these women died in this room. They How did he die? Is it some kind of disease, suicide, or homicide?"

Around the beginning of this case, it was the Lord Hou who brought back some women from outside.Not long after that, these women died in this room in the Hou Mansion.I don't know how many times it started, this room started to be haunted.

The main manifestations of haunting are bloody handprints and black female figures.

"This is the first question we need to clarify." Hearing what Song Wuya said, Bai Zhuo immediately said, "But we didn't know about this question from any of the servants, and Mrs. Hou even refused." To tell the truth, she just said that the woman was a prostitute who had redeemed herself from a brothel. Obviously, the identities of these women are not so simple. Judging from the clothes in the closet, these women are likely to be the wives and daughters of ordinary people. It was forcibly brought here. Otherwise, it was bought from someone else."

First of all, Bai Zhuo judged the identities and origins of these women. Although he could not be sure, this guess was still possible.

"Then we have kept this question in mind and waited for confirmation. The next thing is that the woman pretending to be a ghost has nothing to do with these women. There must be a high possibility that her purpose of doing this is related to these women. Then she is Do you want to use this to warn Lord Hou not to continue, or to avenge those women?" Song Wuya then said what he was thinking about.

It has to be said that there are many questions. In this not-so-noisy inn lobby, the four of them looked dignified. Facing many questions, they couldn't answer them.

From these women to after the haunting, they found that these were all doubts, and there was no specific clue to prove that something was what they thought, or to tell them some truths they didn't know.

The process of things is very coherent, but the problems are linked one after another, and I don't know where to start.

What is the purpose of that woman who pretends to be a ghost to do this?

Seeing that they were silent, Song Wuya took the initiative to analyze: "Judging from our previous investigation, this pretender should be a woman, and she should be the maidservant or a certain woman in Lord Hou's mansion. Madam, that is also very possible. She created a secret room for us, and the servants who entered directly from the door searched the whole room, even the corners under the bed, but they didn’t find anything, so she How did you quietly leave the room?"

"Brother Wu Ya, do you think this person is not a woman, but a rare person, taking advantage of the moment when the door was opened, the room was pitch dark, and he got in with these servants?" Bai Zhuo suddenly thought of this secret room, and it was probably completed in this way. .

But in this way, there is a problem that is difficult to explain: "But what they saw clearly was the figure of a woman."

"This shadow is most likely manufactured. You only need to put a piece of paper in front of the lamp, and the shadow will appear naturally." Bai Zhuo immediately explained.

But the question still remains: "What about the fingerprints?"

"Maybe this person's hands are already very petite?" Situ Wen also interjected.

When the two of them said this, Song Wuya almost believed it.
