Chapter 166: Arrest and Theft
The four of them stared at each other in the lobby, and they were really clear and clear, but they were reluctant to speak.
So the shopkeeper Duan was suspicious: "Then you mean, let's wait another day?"
"Wait another day, if you can't catch the night thief tonight, Miss Qin's identity will definitely die if her identity is exposed. If we don't catch fast, we lose. Liu Zhenying sneered: "Shopkeeper Duan, you forced out Qin Yue is a quick catch, do you want to do it tonight?"
"I'm a civilian!" Duan's shopkeeper shouted: "You have been taking it from me, are you a night thief who is going to take the opportunity to attack at night?"
The two argued, Xun Yi frowned, as if he didn't know who to believe. In desperation, Xun Yi had no choice but to take out the ancestral stunt "and thin mud".
"There's no rush yet, it's just morning, let's take our time. Xun Yi played a round, and Liu Zhenying and Duan's shopkeeper temporarily put aside the quarrel.
"However, the top priority is to ensure Qin Yue's safety. Xun Yi said: "During this time, Qin Yue, you should be careful, you will shout immediately if something happens." ”
"Hmm. Qin Yue calmed down and went outside to burn paper for Lu Lan and his wife.
Shopkeeper Duan was in a heavy mood. "Qin Yue's self-explosion is a fast catch, if it is fake, the real fast catch can jump out and refute it. But now it seems that she is really a fast catcher, and she has been saving people, in fact, she wants to help us?"
"But she's a fast catcher, so who is a night thief? Xun Shao doesn't look like a night thief no matter how he acts. If he is a civilian, then Liu Zhenying, who is with him, is very likely to be a night thief. If two people are in a group, someone must have an identity. However, the possibility of Liu Yu is not small. ”
Shopkeeper Duan went to the secret room for interrogation, but how did Liu Xu, a civilian cook, know so much?
Naturally, I couldn't ask anything.
Qin Yue burned paper for Lu Lan and his wife, and Xun Yi helped beside him: "Don't worry." We will definitely go back alive. ”
Even at this critical juncture, Xun Yi is still optimistic. "As long as I can go back. This year the bonus is double for you. By the way, don't you want a new loom? I'll have someone buy it for you. ”
Qin Yue listened to Xun Yi's words. The heart was heavy, and he wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he didn't dare to speak. Actually, I'm not a fast catcher.
I don't dare to say this sentence anyway.
Qin Yue deliberately said that he was a fast arrester in order to save his life, and what he said about autopsy and checking people was also deceived by others.
Otherwise, why would she say that she was an autopsy? Isn't it just because she is worried about goofs? Autopsy, anyway, the dead can't speak, and there is no way to refute it.
Liu Zhenying stood under the big bell and touched the pattern of the ancient clock. I don't know what I'm thinking.
Half an hour later, Xun Yi and Qin Yue came back from burning paper, Liu Zhenying went to cook, Qin Yue went upstairs to rest, and Xun Yi held the manuscript and worked hard in the lobby. “”
At noon, the four regrouped in the lobby. Shopkeeper Duan saw the food around him, where did he have any appetite.
"Did you figure it out?"
Xun Yi: "No. ”
Qin Yuebei bit her lip with her teeth, looking like she was about to cry. In this kind of killing game, although she is intelligent, her psychological quality has long been on the verge of collapse in the death after death.
Look at the other three. Xun Yi is still as calm as water. Liu Zhenying still doesn't care about this game. He owes his power to himself, and he does not fear death at all. And Duan's shopkeeper has a lot of experience, although he is in a hurry, he still tries to stay calm.
Oooo
Accompanied by the ringing of the bell. The time for execution has come.
And just then, a note fluttered down. Shopkeeper Duan grabbed the note and browsed first.
"I'm checking people and arresting people quickly, Qin Yue is fake. The autopsy arrested Feng Xiaogui quickly. The first night check section is for the people. On the second night, the autopsy Xu Liang was for the people, and Liu Ku was for the people......"
The next few articles. The results of the verification of the catchers will be described one by one.
Shopkeeper Duan was overjoyed, handed the note to Xun Yi and the others: "Qin Yue is really fake!" and then looked at the two. There will be one of these two who will be really fast.
It's too conservative not to stand up at this time, right?
However, with this note, Shopkeeper Duan's suspicion of Qin Yue was infinitely magnified.
"Wait......" Xun Yi stepped forward to stop the shopkeeper Duan: "Maybe it's a night thief and a fake, this kind of note can't be trusted at all." You see, last time the note said that Xu Liang was a thief, but now it says that he is a civilian. ”
"Hmph! It means that it was fake last time. Don't forget, it was handed out by Qin Yue. ”
"I didn't! The last note was found under the bell. Qin Yue hurriedly refuted: "This note is fake." ”
"Don't pretend, you think something is wrong when you say you're a post-mortem arrester. I deliberately say this because I'm worried about what we're asking you. And if you are investigating people and arresting people quickly, we only need to kill two more people, so that you can safely investigate the case at night, and tomorrow you will definitely win. Shopkeeper Duan pierced with a word: "It's such a coincidence, are you a quick autopsy?"
Xun Yi surrounded him, Duan retorted, and Liu Zhenying looked at the note.
"Has it been unscrupulous to this extent?" In the end, Liu Zhenying didn't say anything, just stopped Xun Yi and asked the shopkeeper Duan to strangle Qin Yue to death.
New names appear, but the game is still not over.
"No, whether she's a night thief or a fast catcher, it's enough to end the game. Shopkeeper Duan stood next to the woman's corpse, looking at Xun Yi and Liu Zhenying on the side.
"One of you is caught and one is a thief?" Shopkeeper Duan compared the note in his hand with Xun Yi's manuscript, and the handwriting was completely different. So, the night thief is Liu Zhenying?
Xun Yi frowned, as if he had just noticed it under the reminder, and couldn't help but look at his companion next to him.
Liu Zhenying was silent, and after a while, he said softly: "Shopkeeper Duan has been taking the initiative to guide everyone since the first night, could it be that you have any secrets?"
When Xun Yi heard this, he looked at the shopkeeper Duan again.
"Xun Shao, don't listen to his nonsense!" Shopkeeper Duan identified the identities of the two and said loudly: "Bystander Qing, this companion next to you is the night thief!"
"You just killed Qin Yue, are you going to kill me?" Liu Zhenying seemed a little helpless: "Kill two civilians, are you still going to kill Master Liu tomorrow?"
"......" Xun Yi didn't speak, his left hand supported his cheek, his right hand turned the pen, and he watched the two argue.
After arguing for a long time, Shopkeeper Duan secretly scolded "Damn", rushed out of the lobby, and shouted to Xun Yi at the same time: "Since Da Shao is investigating people and arresting people quickly, check your companions tonight!
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang, and the gunpowder in the courtyard exploded, and the flesh and limbs of the shopkeeper Duan flew everywhere.
This is the key clue that Feng Xiaogui got, a gunpowder mechanism ambushed in the courtyard. Liu Zhenying said softly: "I managed to change the position of the gunpowder, but I didn't expect it to ......"
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Duan bumped into it directly.
"But he's just died during the day, and he's not going to have an accident. Xun Yi looked at the courtyard, only to see that the scattered flesh and blood corpses were slowly gathering, Duan Shopkeeper was still shocked, looked at the two people in the lobby, and decisively went to the secret room to hide.
"If the two of them are really one arrest and one thief, then Liu Yu should be a civilian? Just kill him at night to delay for another day. We will make a decision tomorrow depending on the situation. Xun Dashao should take the initiative to check the information of his companions or me. When the time comes, it will naturally come to light, and you just need to find a way to persuade him. ”
"I'm still young, I haven't gone through the wind and waves, and I can't do it in the face of my companions. "Shopkeeper Duan is a little helpless, he hates to do business with these hairy boys the most. Sometimes they are emotionally driven and don't care about things at all.
Shopkeeper Duan sealed the secret room and did not let the two outsiders in.
Xun Yi and the others didn't chase after them, Xun Yi shrugged his shoulders and said to Liu Zhenying: "Sleep well in the afternoon, and talk about it in the evening." I'm sure you're not a night thief. ”
"Hmm. Liu Zhenying put away the note and went back to the house, looking a little complicated. "Although I didn't use your handwriting, how could Li Junde's handwriting be hidden from me?"
But the identity or something, everyone should have known it for a long time, but they just don't want to take the initiative.
In the evening, Liu Xu's name appeared on the big clock, which was the fifth and last night.
Shopkeeper Duan sealed the door of the secret room, took the dry food and thought hard about how to persuade Xun Yi tomorrow.
Xun Yi stood under the money maple, touching the trunk of the big tree to study the cover door of the field of the Night Thief Inn, thinking about how to crack the entire field.
And Liu Zhenying wiped the dagger in his hand and sat on the roof looking down at the entire inn.
The cold wind blows the autumn clothes.
"Hey. When we go back tomorrow, we will go to Li Junde, and I will treat you two to a meal?" shouted the white-clothed young man under the tree to the roof.
Liu Zhenying nodded: "Yes." ”
But the premise is to be able to go back together. (To be continued.) )
PS: Up to now, everyone's best reasoning is to guess three people, but the last person has not guessed all.
But when this chapter comes out, the truth will be understood.
