Chapter 1488 Honesty
Jiang Cheng looked at Tang Qisheng's face and nodded after a moment of silence. "It's possible. There's no reason for ghosts to kill people first and then hang them up. Also, there are traces of the incense ashes being cleaned outside the room where Mr. Zhang was killed. Those It's not like a ghost would do such a thing.
Tang Qisheng looked cold, "I don't think that person knocked on the door at all. He came back over the wall and attacked Mr. Zhang unprepared. The reason why he only cleaned up the incense ash was because he accidentally stepped on it, leaving traces."
Tang Qisheng's explanation made sense, but it was somewhat idealistic. It was difficult to prove it based on the traces at the scene. Jiang Cheng knew that he must have something to say.
Sure enough, Tang Qisheng turned and pointed to the corner, where some uncommon debris was piled up, and the brooms they cleaned were also piled there. "When I left, I was worried that something would happen, so I hid my phone there and turned on the camera, but now... The phone is missing."
"The person who killed Mr. Zhang was very careful. He should have noticed my hiding of the phone." Tang Qisheng gritted his teeth in hatred.
His words were equivalent to making it clear that the person who killed Zhang Qizheng was among them. "Who do you suspect?" Jiang Cheng probed.
Tang Qisheng looked worried and glanced outside the courtyard door, "Who else could it be? It must be that bastard Shao Tong. Zhu Jie and I, as well as you and the Fugui brothers, were always being watched by the villagers. There was no time to do anything. There is no reason, but Shao Tong and Yao Shunyu’s group haven’t come back yet, so there must be a reason! I’m worried that Brother Yao has also been murdered by him!”
Things were getting more and more complicated, and Jiang Cheng was ready to change his approach, "There are footprints left in the yard, proving that the ghosts of the villagers have indeed been here.
"You're right, so I think that person must have avoided the ghost. The ghost villagers and the person are separate. They come first, then the other." Tang Qisheng continued his analysis, "I just don't know who came first and who came last?"
It was normal for Tang Qisheng not to understand this question, but Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that it must be the ghost villager in front of the person, because if that person came back first, then Wu Zai would definitely be caught.
So the sequence should be like this. Shortly after they left, the ghost villagers arrived first and took away Li Bai who was pretending to be dead. Wu was also taken away. At this time, Zhang Qisheng was not dead yet. Then the man lurked back and attacked He killed Zhang Qizheng, who thought he had escaped disaster and relaxed his vigilance. After setting up the scene, this person finally took away the hidden mobile phone.
Although Zhang Qizheng has not shown too much skill, judging from his aura and pace, he is obviously an expert. Even a sneak attack is not easy to kill. The person who kills him will most likely leave scars on his body.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden burst of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard. Fatty Zhu Jie heard the sound and rushed over. The courtyard door was pushed open, and a group of people walked in with a look of disgrace, carrying an old door panel. The fat man was dumbfounded at once, because Yao and Shun Yu was lying on the door panel at the moment, with mud and fallen leaves sticking to his body. There were many scratches on his exposed skin, and he seemed to have fainted.
"What's going on?" The fat man was the first to ask Shao Tong, who was helping to lift the door panel. He was still clean, but his shoes were full of mud.
The leader of the villagers apologized profusely, "Hey, don't mention it, I'm so sorry. It's foggy outside. The people who led us wanted to go further to find someone, but we got lost and turned out unknowingly." We arrived at the village, and then the brother disappeared while walking. We searched for a long time, and finally found that he had lost his footing and fell down the hillside. He also fainted. It took a lot of effort to carry him back. ”
Tang Qisheng was a little surprised. He glanced at Shao Tong and continued to ask the leading villagers, "Is Brother Yao the only one missing?"
The leader of the villagers was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what he meant, "Why, you still think one missing person is not enough?"
"No, I want to ask where Brother Shao was at that time?" Tang Qisheng smiled and made it clear, "After all, Yao, Shun, and Yu are one of our own, and it is unjustifiable for Brother Shao not to help."
"Oh, you are talking about Brother Shao. He has been following us looking for someone. In the end, he and I went down together to tie the rope, and then we pulled the person up." The villager raised his dirty hands and said.
Shao Tong, on the other hand, looked at Tang Qisheng with a strange expression. After a moment, he looked around, as if he suddenly realized something, "Where is Zhang Qizheng?"
Jiang Cheng and others did not answer his question immediately, but sent the villagers away first. Before leaving, the villagers did not forget to comfort Jiang Cheng and others, saying that they did not need to worry too much. They checked the person as soon as they found him, and there were just some scratches. I was injured in a collision. I just need to rest for a while and it will be fine. It's not a serious problem.
After the villagers left, Fatty and the others carried the unconscious Yao and Shunyu into Li Bai's room. Seeing that Li Bai was gone, Shao Tong looked at Jiang Cheng, who took him to another room. When he saw Zhang Qizheng hanging under the beam, , Shao Tongtong's eyes tightened, and his face instantly darkened, "Who is capable of killing anyone here?"
Later he shook his head again, "No, it's the order. The villagers carried away Li Bai and Wu first, and then killed Zhang Qizheng."
But after Jiang Cheng briefly introduced the situation here to him, Shao Tong fell silent. He looked at Jiang Cheng with a strange look, "So... the murderer can only be one of me and Yao, Shun, and Yu, right?"
"If nothing else, it should be like this." Jiang Cheng was very honest.
"Fortunately, I thought you wouldn't be surprised. The murderer is me." Shao Tong laughed at himself.
"I'm not that stubborn. Although I doubted you before, I will tell whether what you said makes sense or not. Besides, this matter concerns whether all of us can survive." Jiang Cheng lowered his voice. "I thought of this before. Even if the murderer wanted to kill Zhang Qizheng by sneak attack, it would not be easy. So the murderer may have traces of fighting on his body. But now..." Jiang Cheng looked in another direction. "I don't think it can be verified."
Shao Tong nodded thoughtfully. "Yao Shunyu fell down the hillside and was covered with wounds. It just happened to cover up the fact that he was injured. Besides, he had been missing for so long. He had enough time. The time of the crime."
"His disappearance was very strange at that time. He was lost in the fog while walking. I thought it was the villagers' trick at first."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, "Don't alarm him first. Wait until there is a breakthrough in Wu, then we will make plans."
"Understood."
Jiang Cheng lifted the chair, gestured the height with his hands, turned to Shao Tong and said, "Go get a broom, let's put Zhang Qizhen's body down first, there may be clues on it."
Shao Tong turned and walked out of the door, walking directly towards the gate of the courtyard. Jiang Cheng stared at his back, the light in his eyes dimmed, and it was even a little cold.
