There appears to be no progress in the investigation in Guangzhou. There is progress, but Bao Heizi does not see it. So he sent Mr. Gongsun.

Gongsun Ce came here, and he could indeed help a lot, at least more than the others in the yamen. One person counts short, two counts long.

Xiao Yu'er immediately told him about some of the situations he had investigated before, focusing on the four types of people he had summed up that might exist, and the speculation about the reason why the little boss was able to carry out arson so easily.

"Interesting." Mr. Gongsun touched his beard and smiled slightly. He was very interested in Xiao Yuer's analysis of the possibility of an inner ghost.

"However, the motives of this inner ghost are a little incomprehensible and unreasonable." Shaking his head like an endorsement of the gentleman, the CPU brain may be sluggish.

"If this inner ghost colluded with the little boss, he should definitely have a plan, but now it seems that the fire may not bring him any substantial benefits."

Xiao Yu'er listened from the sidelines, and he also knew that thankless things would only be done by future Celestial Empire officials.

"Because once the fire in the Qinglou burns, the yamen must be strictly investigated, and the two gangs will definitely be hit, as long as they are strictly interrogated, everyone eats dogs, and he himself will not be able to escape. Besides, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it is estimated that before the yamen can find him, the accomplices will have to dig a pit and bury him alive. ”

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "It's also quite suspicious, after the incident, all the gangs of the two factions were arrested, why did they just run away from the little boss?" Is this an accident or a necessity? And back then, the boss of the gang in the north of the city just asked him to go to the Qinglou to make trouble, but why did he make such a big move? Could it be that he lacked a string in his head, so he didn't think of the consequences of doing this? ”

The two discussed together, and Xiao Yu'er shook his head and said:

"Now that the little boss is missing, the inner ghost may still be working in the quarry, or has been beheaded, if so. Then we are tired and tired, in fact, we are investigating a death case. ”

Gongsun Ce continued: "So no matter how you look at it, arson in the Qinglou is an act that has no meaning to the gang or to the individual, and it can even be said that it is playing with fire and self-immolation, just taking the lives of nearly 100 people in vain." ”

Gongsun Ce's analysis made Xiao Yu'er deeply touched, touched his chin with no beard at all, and muttered: "Could it be that I was wrong, there is no so-called inner ghost at all?" ”

Mr. Gongsun said: "Your judgment is actually very accurate, since the small boss can carry out arson smoothly. In a sense, your speculation has been proven right. It's just that there is another possibility, the so-called inner ghost may not be a member of the gang, but he is still familiar with the gang members. If this inference is true, then all the problems can be solved. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "If this inner ghost is not a member of the gang, he naturally won't worry about being discovered by the yamen afterwards." Combined with the phenomenon of the small boss later disappearing, it is possible that he used to kill after the fact, trying to be clean, or assisting the small boss to escape. ”

This argument also seems to hold water. But why should the "outer ghost" act as the internal response of the small boss? ”

Gongsun Ce said: "Regarding the motive of this foreign ghost, from the current point of view, the apparent purpose seems to be very simple, that is, to create a fire in the Qinglou. But what the underlying motive is, it's a little hard to guess. ”

Xiao Yu'er thought: "Maybe there was a prostitute who was his enemy that day, maybe he was mad and wanted to take revenge on the society, maybe he wanted that piece of land to build a house." But in short, it's all a trick to kill people with a knife. ”

They studied for a long time, and although they had a certain depth of analysis of the Qinglou fire, it seemed to be a little out of the subject. It's getting farther and farther away from the human skin drum case in front of me.

In the end, the two had a unified understanding, since the fire happened in the Qinglou, and Huang Lei did die because of it, they temporarily set this motive on Huang Lei's body, assuming that the murderer created the Qinglou arson case to burn Huang Lei to death. Investigating in this direction may be the only way in front of us.

However, when we re-examine the fire from this perspective, a new problem arises again, and it turns out to be a question of motivation. Why did the murderer take such a big risk, preferring to lose the lives of countless innocent people and set fire to Huang Lei to death? It seems that it has come and gone, and it has returned to square one.

As speculated before, this ghost has a grudge against Huang Lei, and Huang Lei must be put to death, but why not take other methods, such as stabbing knives, rat drugs, and beating stuffy sticks, and then push down from the upper floor. But he chose arson, which is an extremely difficult method, so he must have his own special psychological needs.

There is another question, and the most important point, is when was the skin behind Huang Lei peeled off?

Let's assume that Huang Lei had already died in that fire, so was the skinning done before the burn or on the night of the burning? The first possibility is that before the fire, Huang Lei skinned to escape the blow; The second possibility is that on the night of the fire, the murderer carried out skinning after accusing them, and then set the fire to the small boss, so as to achieve the purpose of destroying the corpses.

Let's assume that the person who was burned to death in the fire was not Huang Lei, let's not say who the real deceased was, or this human skin, whether it was before or after arson, or there are two possibilities, one is that Huang Lei found someone to peel it off in order to remove conspicuous features, but after he faked his death, he was murdered again and skinned.

However, if the deceased that night was not Huang Lei, all previous assumptions and reasoning must be overturned, that is, there is no so-called external ghost at all, all of them are Huang Lei's own conspiracy, and the real ghost is himself. He took advantage of Xiong Tianyang's departure from the Qinglou to arrest his two companions, and then found another corpse of similar size to him, to be exact, a person who was temporarily incapacitated. After that, he signaled to the small bosses outside to let them enter the Qinglou and set it on fire, and he slipped away.

But in this way, the things inside have become extremely complicated, after Huang Lei borrowed the corpse to return his soul, are he sure that he was really murdered and skinned? Because if it was Huang Lei's own behavior, how could this human skin drum return to the Duanzhou opera troupe? Huang Lei tried his best to create the illusion of his own death, and when he sent the drum back, it was tantamount to telling others that he was not dead, and that it was someone else who died. If, as another speculation goes, Huang Lei was murdered again after causing a fire, the murderer this time was the fifth person, but who could he be? How did he know that Huang Lei was not burned to death, why did he poison Huang Lei, why did he let the drum appear in the world, and what was his motive for committing the murder and the purpose of sending the drum?

Also, what was the purpose of Huang Lei's fraudulent death, and was he just to escape the crime, as previously speculated? If so, this premeditated arson plot is too complicated and obviously a bit too far-fetched. But if he had another purpose, what was that purpose, and what prompted him to choose arson? Moreover, how did he hook up with the small leader, as an outsider who absconded, or a gang member who opposed the small leader, how likely is it that the two of them will work together to commit the crime?

Not only that, but also think of the little boss who disappeared after the crime, and the substitute ghost who was suspected of being burned to death in place of Huang Lei, what kind of role did they play in this Qinglou fire and human skin drum case? Is there a second or third murder hidden here?

Finally, combined with the people who were speculated before, the people who rescued Huang Lei, the people who had a special relationship with the boss, and the people who Huang Lei defected...... With so many different people, what kind of relationship do they have with the fifth person that is now speculated? Split from each other, or overlapping each other?

After such a meticulous reasoning, this human skin drum case has become more and more confusing, not only causing more mysteries, but also implicating more people involved, who are intricately entangled with each other, as if they are right in any direction, and it seems that they are wrong in both directions.

In the end, Xiao Yu'er ravaged her hair and said angrily: "Mom*, just assume that all the reasoning is valid, then, this Huang Lei is not only very cunning, but also unlucky, not only did he get so many lives, but also some people were worried about killing him, worried about his piece of skin, who do you say he is provoking?"
