Chapter 1853 The Wisdom of Numbers

Everyone inside and outside the room felt a lot more relaxed, because everyone felt that the four cases were almost solved, and there was no need to worry anymore because of the fear of the unknown.

"Haha, brother, it seems we need to get to know each other again. Your thinking is clear. Although these cases are not complicated, they happened at the same time, but you were able to quickly solve these cases without knowing it. Could it be that Brother was a policeman before?"

Li Xiangdong arrived at Qin An's side and took his hand enthusiastically.

But Qin An frowned tightly at this time, his face was extremely gloomy, and he ignored Li Xiangdong's warm greeting.

Although his hearing is much worse now, Qin An still figured out the situation that should be clear before falling asleep last night.

At least he knew that in addition to the few people who followed him, there were 382 people in the whole building last night. Then if 9 living patients were transferred and killed after he fell asleep, plus the dead Guo Vice President, Zhao Zida and the little nurse, there should be 370 living people left in the whole building. But now, Qin An quickly counted and there were 379 living people!

In other words, only Vice President Guo, Zhao Zida, and the nurse died, while the other 9 patients were still alive! They are not hiding in a corner, but living among the crowd, which is a bit creepy. Could it be that these nine patients are the culprits? where are they? What do they want to do?

It's really illogical. If they wanted to hide for some purpose, there would be no need for them to escape from their shells. As patients, they could hide very well. There is absolutely no need to get more dead people to trick you, it doesn't make sense at all.

Last night, Qin An paid attention to almost everyone's appearance, with the purpose of looking for Weng Die.

Because of the decline in ability, Qin An actually just scanned a strange face, confirmed that it was not Weng Die, and then looked at the next one. He really didn't have much idea of ​​what the people he saw looked like. All I know is that none of them are Weng Die.

So where are these 9 people now? Qin An felt it was necessary to talk to Li Shaodong and ask him to find them.

At this time, Yan Yikuan was brought in. During the interrogation, he was as frightened as a quail. Qin An observed him for a long time and found it more and more strange. If Yan Yikuan was not the murderer, who was the person who killed Vice President Guo? ?

"Huh, don't you admit it? Let me tell you, this is an extraordinary period. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for punishing you!" Li Xiangdong's eyes were so powerful that Yan Yikuan's whole body trembled from his glare.

Qin An hurriedly went up and pulled Li Xiangdong over, and then asked him to go to the next room with him to talk alone.

"Company Commander, there are actually many doubts about this issue. Yan Yikuan can interrogate slowly. I think the most important thing for us now is to find those 9 patients. They were replaced by corpses. So, are they alive or dead? Company Commander Don’t you want to know?”

Qin An went straight to the point and raised his doubts.

"Hmm... I guess they killed them, right? I just asked others. These 9 people are all terminally ill, so no one usually pays attention to them. It's really pitiful. It's possible that they were thrown into the water after being taken away. .”

"Does the company commander think they might still be among us?"

"How is this possible? Could it be that they replaced themselves with corpses? Why is this? Is this necessary?"

"Anyway, does the company commander know how many people are alive in this building now?"

"This is calculated. There were originally 373 people. Now 3 have died and 9 patients are missing. There should be 361. Of course, not counting you new arrivals. If the 9 patients are still in the building , then it should be 370 people."

What?

There were originally 373 people, not the 382 people he noticed when he first arrived?

But there are still 379 living people in the building now!

If it was originally 373, after the death of the nurse, Guo Xianzi, and Zhao Zida, there would be no problem with 370 people left. This is assuming that 9 patients did not die, then the maximum number should be 370. How could it be 379? ? In other words, 9 people entered the building just before I came here? Li Xiangdong didn't know?

9 newcomers are not 99 patients? But nine patients did become corpses.

The 373 people that Li Xiangdong thought became 382 because there were 9 more people. Now there are still 379 in the building. Including the dead Zhao Zida, Guo Xianzi and the little nurse, the number happens to be 382.

The problem is more complicated. The 9 patients who were there are still there, but there are 9 more corpses and 9 new arrivals. So where are the nine patients, the nine newcomers? What is the connection between the two? This is really a headache!

"Captain Li, I think this is it. We can't say that Yan Yikuan alone has a problem. After all, several people died. Everyone in the building is suspect. I think we should conduct a thorough investigation and count the number of people on each floor. If there's a change, then everyone has to investigate."

Qin An proposed his own solution. Although the matter was complicated, it was still simple to deal with. Whether there were 9 new arrivals or 9 patients still living among the crowd, just find them and let them Li Xiangdong went to take stock of the number of people and personnel, and he could definitely do this.

Li Xiangdong still admired Qin An. Seeing the doubtful look on his face at this time, although he couldn't figure out what he was worried about, he still sent someone to investigate thoroughly.

An hour later, the results of the thorough investigation came back, and Li Xiangdong was stunned.

The nine missing patients were found and secretly placed in different rooms. They themselves didn’t know what happened. They seemed to have slept deeply last night. After the doctor’s examination, pinholes were found on their arms. , indicating that he was injected with anesthetic drugs. After counting the people, Li Xiangdong realized that there were 379 people in this building now. It was really haunted. The earliest statistics were that there were only 373 people. Now 3 people have died and 9 patients have been found. So throw them out. There should be 370 new people like Qin An, but why did it become 379? Who are these 9 extra people?

In desperation, Li Xiangdong could only send people to conduct a thorough investigation again. The total number of people, 373, was calculated when the flood broke out and people were trapped. After a morning of confirmation, the result was that there was no problem with anyone, and the flood These people were in the building after the outbreak and they were trapped. There are always a few people who can prove each other. This is really hell. There are 9 extra people but I don’t know who they are!

Because it was a count of people in the entire building, the news spread. People knew about such a bizarre incident, so they all became panicked.

Li Xiangdong saw that Qin An seemed to have no idea, so he called some people over to study together, hoping to brainstorm and see who could solve the mystery.

Liu Xia and others returned to Qin An at this time. After learning about this incident, they felt strange and began to think about it, but they could not find the truth of the mystery.

"Qin An, it's quite scary, isn't it?"

Liu Xia whispered beside Qin An. She was actually scared, so she talked to Qin An. This was a kind of comfort to herself.

Qin An has always been the backbone. Although Liu Xia's initial impression of Qin An was not good, she had to admit it and knew where to get comfort from Qin An.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, and there won't be any ghosts."

"Then how come there are nine more people out of thin air?"

"Yeah, how could it be out of thin air..."

Qin An's words were ordinary, and he suddenly stopped, and then asked Li Xiangdong: "Lianyuan Commander, who gave you the statistics and told you that the total number of people in the building was 373?"

"Ah... she's a nurse. I asked her to help me with this matter at that time. Her name is Li Doulan."

Qin An's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't expect it to be this woman!

"Haha, what a coincidence!"

"What? Brother, do you know this person?"

"I don't know... Captain Li, can you call this person?"

Li Xiangdong didn't understand what Qin An meant, but he still followed his request and sent someone to pick up Li Doulan.

There were many people in the room when Li Doulan appeared, and she seemed a little nervous.

Qin An stared at her with sharp eyes, and after a long time smiled and said:

"Li Doulan, was this your initial count? Tell Captain Li that there are 373 people in this building?"

"um, yes."

"You said panic, I think the real number of people in this building should be 382, ​​right? You simply underreported 9 people, right?"

Hearing Qin An's question, Li Doulan turned pale and his body started to tremble a little.

Her actions immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone understood! That's right, it's possible that 9 more people didn't appear out of thin air at all, but the source of the number of people in the building was wrong from the beginning!

Oh my God! It's so amazing. How does Qin An's head grow? How could he figure out the crux of the problem?

The most depressing thing is that the key to this problem is actually not complicated, but it is impossible for people to think of it in the face of complex reality.

The smile on Qin An's face became even brighter. He looked at Li Doulan and said word by word: "Ha, Miss Nurse, I have other questions to ask you. Have you been to the kitchen this morning to find Yan Yan?" To be wide?"

This issue cannot be hidden, because Yan Yikuan has just explained the matter.

"Hmm...I want to go secretly order something to eat."

"Maybe that's not the case? The purpose of your visit should be to observe whether Master Yan delivered breakfast to the Vice-Dean, and to observe whether the salty chili peppers belonging to the Vice-Dean's personal side were taken away, because you put enough Deadly poison! Right? So you killed Vice Dean Guo Xianzi!"

"I...it's not me, I didn't!" Li Doulan looked flustered and looked very excited.

"You didn't? It's you! You put poison in the salty chili pepper, and you ran over there early in the morning to confirm. After learning that the salty chili pepper had been taken away by Dean Guo's students, you felt relieved! Humph, Were you the one who dropped those 9 corpses? What was the purpose? To create chaos so that no one could know what you were doing? Only you knew that the real number of people in the building was actually 382, ​​but Captain Li thought it was 373! So do you think if there were If there are 9 corpses, it will create the illusion that there are outsiders in the building. If Guo Xianzi, the little nurse, and Zhao Zida are not dead, adding these 9 corpses, the total number of people will become 391, which is virtually too many. 18 people came out, 9 dead and 9 alive! This is certainly enough to attract everyone's curiosity. In the end, if the matter of Prophet Guo is ignored, at least people's thinking will be completely confused and they will not be able to find you, the real murderer! But How did you transfer 9 patients by yourself? How did you get 9 corpses to come up? You must have a helper, and this helper can also allow you to avoid the sentry... So, is this a kind of self-inflicted theft? What about the behavior? Captain Li, who was the sentry on this floor last night?"

"It's Zhao Zida..." Li Xiangdong's train of thought has not changed at all.

"This is even more interesting. Zhao Zida committed suicide because he accidentally killed a living person, but he was here as a sentry last night. You smuggled nine living people and nine dead people in and out, and he didn't notice it at all? Impossible, that is to say, Zhao Zida became your accomplice for some reason! I am very curious, why is this? A kind and innocent man committed suicide this morning out of fear of crime, and yesterday he helped you transfer patients And the corpse, why did he help you without asking for anything in return? Is it the same reason why he jumped off the building? He jumped off the building to atone for his sins, so did he help you because of atonement? If the two are connected, then he will The girl who was accidentally killed...does she have something to do with you?"

Qin An's mind was running rapidly. In fact, all the things he stated were speculations without any basis. He just selected the most likely one from many thoughts.

After what he said, Li Doulan, who was already uneasy, collapsed completely.

"He deserves to die! He killed my sister! My biological sister! He killed her as a zombie! He deserves to die!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!

What shocked them was not that Li Doulan was the murderer himself, but that Qin An's inference was too strong, right? How could he come up with the truth of the matter without any basis?

Qin An is certainly not baseless. His ability to peer into the sky can get a lot of information. So by combining this information and analyzing and guessing, it will naturally be easier to come to the truth of the matter.

Li Xiangdong was very excited and called people to clear the place, leaving only a few people from Qin An's side to start a surprise interrogation of Li Doulan. This time it was good, and it didn't take long to get all the facts.

It turns out that Li Doulan was once the mistress of Seer Guo. Later, he liked the new and disliked the old. After having Liu Aina, he ignored her.

Li Doulan had always held a grudge, so he poisoned Li Xiangdong.

The girl Zhao Zida killed was named Li Douyuan, and she was Li Doulan's biological sister. Li Doulan watched her sister being beaten to death. At that time, she was hiding in a nearby room and saw the moment her sister was shot through the window. This made her She was also full of hatred for Zhao Zida. Later, she found Zhao Zida and explained the matter. Zhao Zida felt extremely guilty, then became depressed, and finally chose to commit suicide. Then the death of the little nurse was really an accident. Just as Qin An guessed, she was frightened to death because she saw the nine corpses placed in a row. The nine corpses were indeed used to distract people. In this trapped situation, as long as people's hearts were in chaos, no one would doubt a little nurse like her. The fact that 9 bodies were moved was just a coincidence because there were only 9 people in that deserted room. Li Doulan actually made a mistake when she counted the number of people at first. She added the number of people on each floor together, and the first time she came up with the number was 373, so she told Li Xiangdong. Later, Li Doulan was bored and counted again, and found out that the actual number of people in the building was 382! This kind of mistake was harmless, and Li Doulan felt that it was embarrassing for him to calculate the wrong number, so he did not tell Li Xiangdong the real number at that time.

This seamless plan had almost come to an end, but Qin An happened to appear and she was finally arrested.

"Oh my, this is just like a TV show! I'm convinced! Brother Qin, you have to teach me a lesson in the future. Your meticulous thoughts are really watertight. We all thought that Yan Yikuan was the murderer, but you actually gave him The case was overturned and the real culprit was found, this is simply Bao Qingtian alive!"

Qin An kept leaning on the table. After everything seemed to have settled, he felt that the matter was not over yet.

Li Doulan's murder plan is actually very complicated and clever.

The first thing is that she poisoned the salty pepper. This was an assassination specifically aimed at Prophet Yu Guo. It was very targeted and clever. There must not be many people who like to eat this particularly spicy chili pepper, so this can avoid accidentally killing others.

There is also the story that Zhao Zida felt ashamed and eventually committed suicide through contact. It also requires enough wisdom to guide Zhao Zida's heart to a dead end.

There was also the matter of causing nine corpses to cause confusion. If he hadn't appeared and understood everything, this would have been a complete mystery.

A person with such a scheming mind must be extremely smart, but looking at Li Doulan in front of him, he almost confessed everything without even interrogating him. How could this be? This was so different from her performance that Qin An couldn't accept it.

After exchanging a few words with Li Xiangdong, Qin An turned his attention to Li Doulan again.

At this time, she was sitting on a chair. She seemed to be in a daze, with despair on her face.

Kill people!

She has never killed anyone before, so she will naturally be afraid. After all, the apocalypse has just broken out now, and the concept of murdering someone to pay for their life is still deeply ingrained in her psychology.

Qin An looked at her for a while and suddenly said: "At the beginning, I asked you if you killed Prophet Guo, and you shouted excitedly, no, it wasn't you! Your expression told me something, I felt like you weren't You are quibbling, maybe at that time you really thought that the murderer was not you! But later when you were interrogated, you broke down and admitted everything. Your behavior at this time made me a little suspicious. Li Doulan, you Have you really explained all the problems?”

"Haha, what's the difference? I did kill someone, and I have to pay with my life anyway. You can do whatever you want, I don't care."
