Chapter 39 The narrowing of the perpetrator's scope
Yu Xing, who was leaning aside to listen and make soy sauce, raised his head and called him at this time. If he couldn't hear anything wrong in Amber's words, he could find a knife and kill him.
Did he become wise after a moment of life and death, and knew he was going to test him?
Upon hearing this, the bearded Klaus cast his gaze over and asked, "Roy, you live next door to Amber. Did you hear anything last night?"
Amber's purpose of crying had been achieved. She wiped her tears and looked over quietly with her wet eyes half covered by her golden bangs.
Yu Xing stood up straight in the sight of the two of them, with a faint smile appearing on his face that would look harmless when showing weakness.
I'm afraid Amber's suspicion of him is not new today. During the previous debate with Reuben Reed, he took the initiative to mention talking to ghosts at night and asked Amber to authenticate it. At that time, Amber cooperated.
It killed him, but it must have also planted seeds of doubt.
People are all sensitive, especially when it comes to whether others are using themselves as tools. The role of sensitivity is particularly prominent.
After all, Reuben Reed was right about one thing. All the outrageous things did indeed happen after Yu Xing came. At this point, no matter how he sophistry or how he directs his attention to others, it is a given.
fact.
"I didn't hear anything."
Yu Xing's attitude showed no hesitation, even when facing Klaus' expectant gaze and Amber's probing gaze, he buried his answer on a dead end.
He said it so categorically, and if any illogical points were discovered, it would only mean that he was deliberately lying, and it would not change other testimonies.
"Did you really not hear anything? Your rooms are so close." Klaus frowned, selfishly, he hoped that someone could provide him with some evidence.
"That's right, I could hear you and Wraith talking through the door the night before yesterday. Is it really possible that you couldn't hear anything about what happened last night? Mr. Roy."
Amber Bradley lowered her eyebrows and sighed deeply: "Please, for the sake of me helping you, please provide me with some clues."
Yu Xing's faint smile has not yet moved away from the corners of her mouth. She looks very calm and has a trace of calmness.
But being so calm always makes people feel strange.
Perhaps acting a little panicked at this time would be more in line with everyone's reaction to this matter.
But Yu Xing could only do this. If he panicked, or changed his words to lead the truth in a certain direction, he would have fallen into a trap.
"Sorry, I wanted you to testify for me the day before yesterday because I wanted to gamble on my luck. The resentful spirit came soon after dark. Maybe you weren't asleep at that time." He stretched out his hands and spread them helplessly.
"But you shouldn't have had an accident within an hour after dark last night. I should have gone to bed around eleven o'clock. I didn't hear anything before that."
"If it were any other time, I would have been fast asleep and couldn't hear."
Separating the nature of the two things, Amber would have no way to involve them together. What's more, Amber was only in the stage of initiating ideas. His words could dispel Amber's doubts about him.
The underground city seems friendly, but in fact everyone was once a vicious thug. In terms of human relations, indifference is the norm.
Fortunately, it was Roy. As a "serial killer", even if he had an unusual relationship with Amber on the first day he came down, he would never be angry or concerned about the assassination of this woman he just met. This is only logical.
"Well, it seems that Roy can't be of any help to us in this matter." The bearded Klaus was very regretful. He patted Amber on the shoulder and sighed, "First there was the large-scale building invasion. , it’s the Assassination of the Saint again, the underground city has not been peaceful these past two days, I wonder if it will be even more chaotic in the future?”
"Perhaps we can let Lord Tree Witch make a guess." At this moment, Amber Bradley remembered the advantage of Tree Witch's ability. She looked uncertain and touched her chest.
Then she raised her head again: "Mr. Roy, my throat was cut last night. Aren't you curious how my throat grew back?"
"Huh?" Yu Xing was slightly surprised, tilted his head and asked, "I see that none of you are curious, and you thought this was the saint's special ability."
Amber: "So that's it."
She was deep in thought and couldn't find any words to refute, but Klaus coughed twice: "The saint is a position personally selected by Lord Wood God, but she is not much different from ordinary believers, and there is no such special I'm not curious about her abilities, it's just that the reason why she was assassinated is the reason I care about her."
"So Amber, how is your throat so good?"
Amber: "..."
Why would even the speaker ignore this issue?
She hasn't noticed yet that her sealed IQ has a tendency to loosen after this night. At least she is much sharper than before.
The blond victim stroked his neck: "This is one of the doubts. I am very sure that a knife cut my throat yesterday, leaving me unable to make a sound or breathe. But when I lost consciousness After that, I vaguely felt as if my neck was being mended with needles and threads. It was a very smooth and scary force."
"I think, based on my understanding of the believers in the city, there should be no one left in the city who can master such a terrifying power. And the murderer who assassinated me, unless he was someone who gained new abilities without me knowing, Or maybe it’s someone I haven’t had time to understand yet.”
So that’s it.
Yu Xing knew clearly that of the two types of people mentioned by Amber, the only one who met the first condition was Ruben Reed, and the one who met the second condition was him, Jiang Jileng, who had just arrived last night. And the tree witch that the saint is not qualified to understand.
It is precisely because the scope of the murderer has been infinitely narrowed that Amber Bradley will break the previous friendship and directly suspect him. He and Ruben Reed will not deal with it, and may take this opportunity to ask Ruben
·Reed is throwing dirty water on his head, and the more intensely personal the conversation, the more likely it is that there will be flaws.
Amber Bradley wanted to use this opportunity to confirm some speculations, but unfortunately she failed.
Moreover, the advantage that Reuben Reed has over Yu Xing in this matter is the heart of Yindu. When these believers discover that the heart of Yindu has been exchanged, Reuben Reed's suspicion will be minimized.
Who made Reuben Reed the person to bring back the heart of Yindu?
