The First Thousand and Sixty-Three Chapters Are All Dead?

noon.

Ding dong!

The doorbell was rang, and a food delivery employee riding an electric bicycle delivered a sumptuous lunch to Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu.

Lunches are all ordered from the guild hall. The meals are a combination of Chinese and Western, delicious and nutritious.

Although the meal and tip cost a total of more than 1,000 yuan, the two ate very comfortably and felt that it was worth the money.

"Oh!" Cui Lizhu hiccupped and admired sincerely, "It's really beautiful to be a rich man. I wish we could find the treasure!"

"Now it's not just about treasures!" Zhao Yu didn't eat as much as Cui Lizhu. After eating in a hurry, he found a few huge white papers, laid them flat on the table, and started to write like a whiteboard. Investigative records.

This is a habit he has developed for a long time. He feels that only by writing the materials himself can more ideas emerge in his mind.

On Tao Xiang's list, there are 16 names in total, and there is a line of small characters below each name, marking a brief introduction of that person.

The first 11 people were all marked with "X" by Tao Xiang, but the last five were not. Zhang Jingfeng has confirmed that all five of these people died of heart disease.

Zhao Yu believes that the death of these five people should not be accidental.

Cui Lizhu understood Zhao Yu's habits, and kept silently helping Zhao Yu.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Yu had just finished writing, Zhang Jingfeng called again.

"Xiao Zhao, why are there so many names? What kind of big case are you investigating?" Zhang Jingfeng looked very puzzled on the phone, "These people don't seem to have anything to do with each other!"

"Old Zhang!" Zhao Yu was eager to know the answer, and hurriedly urged, "Hurry up, are there any problems with those 11 people?"

"Well...well, it's not easy to say! It's like this, um..." Zhang Jingfeng's answer seemed a bit hesitant, "The 11 people you asked me to investigate are all dead! That's a total of 16 people, one There are no more alive!"

"ah!?"

The two were inevitably taken aback.

"All... all dead?" Cui Lizhu changed her tone tremblingly, "There... so many people, who did this?"

"Don't say that..." Zhang Jingfeng changed the subject and said hastily, "Although they are dead, the situation of these 11 people is a bit complicated, and it is somewhat different from the previous 5!

"Well... how should I put it? From my information, these people died in a very long time period. The earliest can be traced back to 15 years ago, and the latest was in the second half of last year. They all Some scholars have never done anything criminal and have no criminal record."

"Also, the ages of these people vary, but most of them are already old, even 90 years old! Moreover, according to the data, they are all normal deaths, and it seems that they have nothing to do with heart disease.

"However, because some of them are too old, it will take some time to confirm them one by one!"

"That's it..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips secretly, and said seriously, "Old Zhang, you can help me investigate the detailed information of these people for the time being, and I want all 16 of them! I will apply to the higher authorities. If possible, I will I'll find a way to get you here!"

"Okay! Look at it and you're done!" Zhang Jingfeng happily hung up the phone, and quickly sent the information he found to Zhao Yu.

"Boss... you have to think about it carefully!" Cui Lizhu reminded, "Do you really want to report this matter? Are we being a little abrupt? Why don't we... Let's look it up and talk about it! Just in case, those Do people die normally?"

Zhao Yu didn't answer Cui Lizhu's question, but picked up his mobile phone, carefully read all the details of those people, and then began to write on the white paper.

The entire writing process lasted for nearly an hour. Zhao Yu finally put away the pen, shook his head and said, "This white paper is not as good as a whiteboard. If you make a mistake, you can't erase it!"

"Boss,

Boss, how are you doing? Cui Lizhu hurriedly asked Zhao Yu when she saw Zhao Yu talking, "Do you have any clues?" Who is the murderer? "

"I'll go!" Zhao Yu frowned. "I'm a detective, not a fairy. If you can find the murderer just by writing it down, then I won't do anything else!"

"..." Cui Lizhu was speechless.

"Look..." Zhao Yu stretched out his finger and pointed to the written materials, "Let's put death aside for now, let's take a look at these first. Who are they? Look..." He pointed to one of them A name, "This person is a doctoral supervisor who studies modern history; look at this one again, an economist; this one is a technical expert from the Bureau of Cultural Heritage, and there are some people who are engaged in scientific research projects and even exploration! How about it?" , what can you think of?"

"Well...these people are all educated and highly educated!" Cui Lizhu speculated, "Moreover, the majors they have studied seem to be related to those golden treasures! This..."

"Yes, there is a future!" Zhao Yu nodded, "I guess, the reason why Tao Xiang wrote these people in the book should be that these people have participated in actions related to the search for treasures. Tao Xiang wants to pass them, Find more clues about the treasure!"

"So, every time he investigates a person and finds that they have nothing to do with the treasure, he will give him an X!" Cui Lizhu continued, "And the next five people, he hasn't had time to investigate yet?"

"It seems..." Zhao Yu said after thinking, "It's not that I didn't have time to check, but, although I checked, I couldn't confirm it, right? Don't forget, Tao Xiang's box was buried under the floor! The floor was rebuilt by him. It’s built, which means that he doesn’t plan to retrieve the box in a short time at least, right?”

"Oh..." Cui Lizhu looked at Zhao Yu in amazement, "As expected of a great detective! Now that you say that, I seem to be enlightened. The reason why my dad didn't draw an X for these 5 people is because they really Do you know something about the treasure?"

"Look again," Zhao Yu said, pointing to the names in front of him again, "although the 11 people who drew X are all dead, but when they died, they were already very old, look... they are all 70, 80 Even more than 90! Even if there are a few younger ones, they all died of terminal illness, not heart disease!

"And then!" Zhao Yu pointed to the names of the people behind, "Look at the five people behind, although they are not young, but they are not too old to die. In today's era, people in their 60s, It’s not really old age at all!”

"Oh..." Cui Lizhu nodded, "I see. What you mean is that it's not everyone who is really likely to die, but only the five people who didn't draw an X!?"

"Almost!" Zhao Yuyan said, "The next step is the most critical question. In your opinion, if these five people really died unexpectedly, why did the murderer kill them?"

"My God!" Cui Lizhu said in amazement, "Because these five people know the secret of the treasure? Then...the murderer killed them, did he want to know the secret, or...wanted...to kill them to silence them!?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's the former or the latter..." Zhao Yu pointed at a huge "?" sign on the whiteboard and said, "As long as we can catch the murderer, maybe we can get clues to the treasure!!!"
