Cheng Yu casually grabbed a glass of milk, two fried eggs, a bowl of white porridge, added some sour cowpeas and mustard, and returned to the dining table.
Seeing that Cheng Yu had both hands occupied, Guo Pingan took the initiative to help him pull out the seat. Cheng Yu thanked him. After sitting down, Guo Pingan said to him: "Actually, we have just come down. We are all a little late today. Maybe
Yesterday was indeed the most exhausting day for everyone, both physically and mentally. We were just talking about why you haven't come down yet. If we hadn't heard the sound of your closing the door, we would have been ready to go upstairs to see you."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Fortunately, we are still alive, which means that the five of us are relatively well-behaved and have no evil intentions."
Guo Ping'an nodded and said, "I hope it can continue like this."
"But the murderer of Bai Xiaowen is also among us, so we still can't take it lightly, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked around and saw that it was Deng Jingliang with his mouth full of dumplings. Cheng Yu couldn't help but frowned, wondering what kind of trouble this Deng Jingliang was up to.
Liu Manman looked at Su Xi. There was no meaning in his eyes. He didn't mean to let Su Xi acknowledge her outright, nor did he want to see how Su Xi would refute. He just looked at her without any emotion.
In fact, everyone knew about the candidate who killed Bai Xiaowen, but even Cheng Yu knew that there was no evidence, so at this relatively delicate moment, there was no need to mention it at all.
So the restaurant suddenly fell into an awkward silence. Even though Su Xi knew that Deng Jingliang was here for her, since they didn't mention her by name, she couldn't defend herself out loud, so she had to lower her head and eat the food she got.
breakfast.
It is even more impossible for Cheng Yu to say anything. The person who analyzed that Su Xi is the murderer is Cheng Yu himself. Now, does Cheng Yu still want to go to Su Xi to excuse himself? But there is no point in continuing to identify, and Cheng Yu can't produce any evidence.
ah.
Guo Ping'an probably couldn't bear the embarrassment to continue, so he coughed twice and said: "Based on the fact that Xie Yanwen tried to attack Ms. Su yesterday. Although he accidentally hit and broke the situation with Mr. Deng, you can't deny that Xie Yanwen
It could also be the murderer of Bai Xiaowen, right? Isn’t it a bit arbitrary to conclude that the murderer is among the five of us now? "
Deng Jingliang's eyes were slightly blurred, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He looked at Guo Ping'an, his body shook slightly, and he said very frivolously: "Brother Guo, you don't have to pretend to be confused because you understand, right? That bastard Xie Yanwen
It is indeed possible, but among us here, there is someone who used to be a couple with Chen Yu. In any case, I suspect that this person is more likely to be involved."
This time, it was almost like naming them. After all, there were only two women present, and Chen Yu’s sexual orientation must still be normal. Who else could it be besides Su Xi?
Su Xi shook her head, shook her long ponytail, and was about to speak, but Guo Ping'an suddenly asked: "I remember when Mr. Cheng asked about this matter yesterday, Mr. Deng shouldn't be there, right? Su and I
Madam, it’s certainly impossible for me to tell you this on purpose. Could it be Mr. Cheng that you told Mr. Deng?”
Cheng Yu felt a slight thump in his heart, secretly complaining that something was wrong. Deng Jingliang's inexplicable attack might expose the relationship between him and Liu Manman.
Although Cheng Yu can take the blame and make up for Deng Jingliang's fault, Cheng Yu has no reason to do this. He is not Old London. He is just someone who wants to complete the task, even if Liu Manman is one of the seven strange people.
He was the one he had the best rapport with, but Cheng Yu still didn't feel the need to take over everything.
Cheng Yu looked at Liu Manman and found that Liu Manman's expression also changed.
At that moment, Cheng Yu even suspected that this might be the result of Deng Jingliang and Liu Manman's discussion. They might feel that the number of people was small enough, and Su Xi herself had a certain degree of understanding of the relationship between them.
Guo Ping'an was actually the only one in this villa who didn't know about this matter. Therefore, clarifying their relationship at this time was actually a strategy to express his attitude to everyone.
However, when Cheng Yu saw Liu Manman's expression change slightly, he knew that this possibility was almost non-existent.
When Cheng Yu looked at Deng Jingliang again, he found that Deng Jingliang was not aware of this yet, or maybe he had other intentions. In short, he was very calm, with no wave on his face.
Regarding Guo Ping'an's problem, Cheng Yu would certainly not admit it. That was not his fault in the first place.
So Cheng Yu shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't talk to Mr. Deng about anything other than Xie Yanwen yesterday."
Guo Pingan was stunned. The reason why he spoke before Su Xi was because he thought of a certain possibility, and Cheng Yu's answer undoubtedly confirmed this possibility. Even if it was something that Guo Pingan had already thought of in his mind.
It was a passing thought, but Guo Ping'an still thought it was a bit strange.
"That's interesting. The three of us didn't tell you. Miss Manman and you are mortal enemies. It must be difficult for the two of you to sit and chat together calmly? Who told you about the past between Ms. Su and Chen Yu?"
Facing Guo Ping'an's cross-examination, Deng Jingliang seemed to suddenly freeze. It seemed that he finally realized that his ambiguous words seemed to be the trigger that exposed his relationship with Liu Manman. At this time, he
They couldn't hide it anymore.
Deng Jingliang looked at Liu Manman with a guilty conscience, and seemed to be very evasive. He quickly avoided it, and then he said harshly: "Did I already know that it couldn't be done? Didn't Chen Yu tell me that it couldn't be done? Since he can tell Xie Yanwen
Why can't you tell me about Ms. Su's ultraviolet allergy?"
This sentence seemed to be a strong defense, but in fact, it completely confirmed that his words could only come from Liu Manman.
Liu Manman, whose expression had only changed slightly before, now couldn't help but cast his eyes on Deng Jingliang, his eyes full of confusion.
Cheng Yu also knows, okay, no need to quibble anymore, this one is gone. Chen Yu told Xie Yanwen that Su Xi was allergic to ultraviolet rays. He also said it at that time. If no one told him about it, he would
It’s impossible to know Xie Yan
Wen also knew about this. Even if it could be analyzed from Xie Yanwen's attempt to attack Su Xi, if he had known about Su Xi's ultraviolet allergy and the relationship between Chen Yu and Su Xi, many of yesterday's behaviors would be completely unexplainable.
If Deng Jingliang had known about the relationship between Chen Yu and Su Xi, then he should have suspected that Su Xi was responsible for Bai Xiaowen's death. Then why was Su Xi so diligent in helping a murderer get medicine for him because he was allergic to ultraviolet rays? Of course, it can be assumed that Deng Jingliang felt that
Su Xi did a good job, so he shouldn't target Su Xi today.
Taking into account Deng Jingliang's different performances yesterday and today, it is enough to show that all he knows can only be told to him by Liu Manman.
I don't know if Deng Jingliang did this intentionally or if he was just too reckless. Although Cheng Yu was leaning towards the former, it was difficult for him to make a judgment without evidence.
Therefore, Cheng Yu cast his sympathetic eyes on Liu Manman. There is no doubt that the most innocent person in these few sentences is actually Liu Manman. Regardless of whether Deng Jingliang was intentional or reckless, Liu Manman was deceived in a state of complete ignorance.
handed over.
Su Xi sighed and said: "Mr. Deng, you don't have to deny it. Although I don't know what the relationship between you and Miss Manman is, you must not have a tit-for-tat relationship as shown on the island. Regarding this, I
I have told the master a long time ago that I gave all of you a very detailed background before going to the island. You and Manman
It’s true that the young lady doesn’t have much contact, but I found that you both often go in and out of the same middle-aged woman’s home. I think the most likely possibility is that you are related, and that middle-aged woman is related to you both by blood.
People, there’s no need to quibble anymore, you all know what my profession is, and it’s almost impossible to make mistakes in my back tone.”
Deng Jingliang's face suddenly fell. He slammed the table angrily and eagerly and said, "Ms. Su, even if I point out that you are the person most suspected of killing Bai Xiaowen, you don't have to deliberately set up a trap. You
Only you know the back tone mentioned, oh, if you mentioned it to the master in advance, does that mean the back tone is real?"
Cheng Yuxin said, Brother, if it is a performance, then enough is enough. At this point, it would be too fake to act again. And if you really spilled the beans and want to resist in the end, then save it, as it will only
You seem extremely stupid.
Guo Ping'an spoke out to expose Deng Jingliang. He said: "As for Xie Yanwen knowing about Ms. Su's ultraviolet allergy, we also said it at that time, so you still have no possibility of knowing. Of course, you may also be able to quibble and say that it was Chen
When Yu told you everything about Ms. Su, he also told you that he mentioned all this to Xie Yanwen
Or maybe you inferred this from Xie Yanwen's behavior of setting up agencies to kill Ms. Su. But if you knew about the relationship between Ms. Su and Chen Yu yesterday, why didn't you mention yesterday that the murderer of Bai Xiaowen was Ms. Su's?
What happened? You know, there were not even five people at the beach yesterday, but only the three of us."
Deng Jingliang's eyes were desperately averting, and he was scratching his head and head anxiously, as if he was still thinking about how to make excuses.
At this time, Liu Manman sighed and said: "Okay, Xiaoliang, stop making trouble. In fact, the master told me a long time ago that Su Xi has confirmed our relationship. So, now in this villa
, and only Brother Guo is not sure about our relationship. Yes, Xiaoliang and I are cousins, his mother is my aunt, and my father is his uncle. But my parents passed away early, and I
He grew up under the care of my aunt."
Deng Jingliang's face was filled with guilt. He lowered his head and said calmly: "Sister, I'm sorry. I just wanted to point out that Su Xi is a murderer. I didn't expect..."
Liu Manman looked at him deeply. Cheng Yu understood Liu Manman's meaningful look. Liu Manman was clearly saying: It's best.
Su Xishi Shiran said: "It's true that Chen Yu and I have been together. But if you want to accuse me of being the murderer of Miss Xiao Wen, then please show me the evidence, not here
That's nonsense. It's a pity that on this island, there are only rules for identifying the murderer, but there are no penalties for false accusations. If this were in a normal society, I think you would most likely receive a letter from my lawyer within two hours.
.”
Looking at Su Xi who suddenly became tough, Cheng Yu swallowed the last bite of eggs in his mouth and said with a smile: "There is no need to get so tense. Trust has become a very luxury thing on this island, so
, it’s best to leave a trace of the feeling of meeting each other.”
Su Xi looked at Cheng Yu and nodded slightly, expressing her agreement with Cheng Yu's impartial and pertinent words.
Guo Ping'an was thinking deeply. First, he was wondering whether Su Xi was the murderer of Bai Xiaowen. Although she was indeed the biggest suspect, was it really necessary to kill someone for the sake of her ex-boyfriend?
There are still doubts, and the motive for killing is not that strong.
As for Liu Manman, it was obvious that she didn't care at all about whose hands Bai Xiaowen died, not to mention that at this point, she completely trusted Cheng Yu's judgment. What she was worried about now was why Deng Jingliang suddenly revealed the relationship between the two of them.
relationship.
If it was unintentional, of course there is nothing to say. With Deng Jingliang's character, or the character he has always shown in front of Liu Manman, he is indeed likely to make this kind of mistake, and it is even possible for him to make such a mistake.
It feels strange.
But Cheng Yu reminded her that Deng Jingliang's true character may not be what she sees. Everyone has different social attributes. In front of family members, in front of relatives, and in society, there are likely to be two faces, at least
, there will be some differences. Liu Manman also agreed with Cheng Yu's statement that the Deng Jingliang she saw was definitely not all of him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Deng Jingliang's performance today made Liu Manman suspicious, especially his two consecutive faint moves, and the second one was completely unmatched by the expectations of this island.
She had a very high IQ and her performance was extremely exaggerated, which made Liu Manman feel a little cold-hearted.
But Liu Manman couldn't figure out why Deng Jingliang did this. If it was because there were only two people left on the island, Guo Ping'an and Su Xi, and he felt confident, then he could have discussed it with Liu Manman in advance before making the announcement. In fact, Liu Manman also
I won't mind making their relationship public. Indeed, they are two siblings together, and the opposite side also supports them.
At most, there are only two people, and it is definitely impossible for those two people to form the same level of trust between her and Deng Jingliang. As Cheng Yu said, trust is already a very luxury thing on this island, Liu
Manman and Deng Jingliang had unique advantages. Liu Manman really couldn't understand why Deng Jingliang refused to discuss it with her.
As for Deng Jingliang, he always lowered his head and said nothing to Cheng Yu's words, as if he was still trapped in deep self-blame.
Seeing this, Cheng Yu took a sip of milk and carefully rolled the foam on his lips into his mouth with his tongue.
"We have already analyzed Chen Yu's death. It looked like a secret room, but in fact if the murderer was in the room, the secret room would not be established. And all the murderer's methods have also been analyzed, plus
After Bai Xiaowen died, she also found the virginity-losing water in her place.
, everyone should not have any other doubts. Regarding Bai Xiaowen's death, it is true that no evidence can be found to point to anyone, but as for the method of committing the crime, I think we still need to clarify it, so that we can at least get closer to the truth.
"
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu distributed his gaze equally to everyone.
Deng Jingliang was the first to speak: "Yes, analyze and analyze. Once we figure out the murderer's methods and solve the mystery of the secret room, we will definitely know who the murderer is!" After saying that, Deng Jingliang stared at Su Xi with obvious targeting.
It couldn't be more obvious.
Guo Ping'an pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "In any case, it is always a good thing to solve the mystery of the secret room. However, Mr. Cheng, do you already have an idea? If no one has a clue, discussing it will probably be a waste.
time."
Cheng Yu nodded affirmatively and said, "I do have some ideas, so I want to share them with you."
Guo Ping'an nodded when he heard this and said no more.
Su Xi looked at Cheng Yu with an extraordinarily gentle look. It was hard to imagine what kind of mentality she was in right now, but it was impossible for her to raise objections.
Liu Manman still looked unconcerned and said: "Whatever, it doesn't matter if you analyze it or not, I have a candidate for the murderer in my mind. But unlike my idiot cousin, there is no need to talk about things without evidence.
too much."
Cheng Yu stood up and said, "If everyone has finished eating, we might as well move to the fireplace and let Old London clean up here quickly. He will prepare lunch soon."
The five people filed out of the dining room and sat down by the fireplace.
After sitting down, Cheng Yu said: "The room where Bai Xiaowen died yesterday was in the state of a secret room. Moreover, it could even be regarded as a double secret room. The doors that can be entered and exited were completely sealed. Bai Xiaowen died in the bedroom, and in the bedroom
The windows are inaccessible. The door to the bedroom is also closed, so it can almost be regarded as a double secret room. Is this okay for everyone?"
Everyone nodded, and Cheng Yu added: "Well, let me talk about my thoughts first. First, let's consider how the murderer entered Bai Xiaowen's room, how he killed Bai Xiaowen, and why Bai Xiaowen's body was there.
Such a strange posture on the ground..."
Cheng Yu told everyone the analysis he had done when he and Liu Manman inspected the scene yesterday. Everyone nodded frequently, especially Su Xi. Although she was surprised in her heart that Cheng Yu had simply restored her murder at that time.
Although he was present at the scene, he had to show admiration on the surface.
"Mr. Cheng, your analysis is so awesome. Are you the easy-chair detective?" Guo Ping'an couldn't hide his surprise.
Cheng Yu smiled modestly and said: "Actually, it's just a matter of piling up the details. We have solved the problem of how the murderer entered the house and killed people, and then we will solve the problem of how the murderer left."
