"No, I can't afford to be your sister, Director Wang! Who doesn't know that Director Wang is famous for disowning his relatives?" Gu Xiaomeng said sarcastically.
"Haha, it seems that Xiaomeng has a deep misunderstanding of me." Wang Tianxiang's tone was still unhurried, gentle and approachable, "In fact, I have always been very caring about my colleagues, especially ladies."
After a pause, Wang Tianxiangruo said thoughtfully: "For example, the relationship between you and Chief Takeda does not seem to be as distant as you show. I have never mentioned this matter to anyone."
Hearing these words from the projector, everyone couldn't help but glance at Takeda.
Takeda's face was expressionless, as if the person in the recording was not talking about him.
"Really?" After a slight silence, Gu Xiaomeng chuckled and said, "It seems that Director Wang is really sympathetic to her. In fact, I also accidentally learned that Director Wang was not originally named Wang, and he had been here a long time ago.
Thatched Cottage, you are familiar with this place, right?"
There was silence in the recording and in reality.
Su Yi suddenly understood that Takeda's house arrest of Wang Tianxiang had nothing to do with Zhang Li. Takeda had long known that something was wrong with Wang Tianxiang.
"Go to bed early, there are many things to do tomorrow." After Wang Tianxiang said this in the projector, there was a sound of footsteps and the sound of a door closing.
It sounds like Wang Tianxiang has gone out.
The recording ends here.
Wang Tianxiang sighed and said: "Not long after I left, Gu Xiaomeng destroyed all the monitors in her room, so that we had no way of knowing what happened in her room later."
"At 6:20 in the morning, the patrolling guard found that the door of Gu Xiaomeng's room was ajar. Through the crack in the door, he found Gu Xiaomeng hanging in the living room, so he immediately reported it to me. After I checked the scene, I woke up everyone
Man, that’s what last night was all about.”
"Who was Gu Xiaomeng killed by?" Wang Tianxiang glanced at everyone's faces one by one, "The murderer must be among us. No matter what, we must find this person out today!"
"It was around two forty when Director Wang left." Takeda said expressionlessly, "At six twenty in the morning, Gu Xiaomeng was found dead. After examining the body, Doctor Ma determined that Gu Xiaomeng's death time was between two and a half hours.
More than an hour, that is to say, Gu Xiaomeng's real time of death was between two forty and four twenty, which is more than an hour."
"That's right." Wang Tianxiang agreed with Takeda's statement, "Doctor Ma did an autopsy and confirmed that Gu Xiaomeng was first pricked with a poisonous needle and lost consciousness, and then was hung under the chandelier in the living room and strangled to death."
"I'll interrupt." Wu Zhiguo suddenly said, "I think this is very strange. Since the murderer pricked Gu Xiaomeng with a poisonous needle and lost consciousness, at this time he could have strangled Gu Xiaomeng directly, or directly wiped her
Neck. Do you have to strenuously hang Gu Xiaomeng up and pretend to commit suicide by hanging?"
"Does he think that all of us here are living on dry food? He can't check the needle holes in Gu Xiaomeng's back and see the signs of poisoning in her?"
"I don't think so? We can't guess who the murderer is now, which shows that he is very cautious and smart. There is no reason for him to be stupid enough to not think of this. This is very strange and contradictory!"
"So, why? Why did the murderer stab her with a poisonous needle and hang her to death?"
Wu Zhiguo's words made everyone nod their heads. This really makes no sense.
"Is it possible that two people did it separately?" Li Ningyu said suddenly.
This guess made everyone's eyes light up.
"Someone first wanted to kill Xiaomeng with a poisonous needle, and then before Xiaomeng was still alive, another person hanged her while she was unconscious?" Li Ningyu speculated, "This one hangs Xiaomeng.
The person didn’t know she had been stabbed with a poisonous needle.”
"It's possible," Jin Shenghuo nodded, "but although Xiaomeng is usually a bit arrogant like a eldest lady, in general, she is still very popular. What kind of hatred and grudges do you want to put her to death?
It’s okay if one person wants to kill her, but why are there two people who are sworn in with her?"
"Then it depends on which one of you has a conflict with Gu Xiaomeng." Takeda said, "Whoever has a conflict with him will be a serious suspect."
Everyone was silent.
But the person with the least suspicion here is Takeda.
Because if he wanted to kill Gu Xiaomeng, he could just shoot him. There was no need to make it complicated at all.
"Are there any fatal injuries on Gu Xiaomeng's body?" Su Yi asked at this time.
Wang Tianxiang shook his head: "No."
"You should have searched all of our rooms." Li Ningyu asked, "Any receipts?"
"No." Wang Tianxiang shook his head.
The scene fell into silence, everyone was deep in thought.
After a long time, Wang Tianxiang was the first to break the silence and said: "According to your confession, you were all sleeping between two forty and four twenty for more than an hour, but one person must be lying, and he was at this time
Duan Nei sneaked into Gu Xiaomeng's room quietly and killed Gu Xiaomeng!"
"Motive, motivation is very important." Zhang Yiting said, "There must be a motive to kill Gu Xiaomeng. Who among us has the motive to kill Gu Xiaomeng?"
"At the moment, it seems that I am the only one." Wang Tianxiang smiled, "Because Gu Xiaomeng knows my secret, so I will most likely kill her to silence her."
"Stop making trouble." Jin Shenghuo chuckled, "What kind of secret is that? Oh, you have been to Baicaotang, does it count as a secret?"
"This is indeed a secret." Takeda said, "Because the purpose of the third game last night was to find the person who passed through Baicao Hall!"
Jin Shenghuo was immediately stunned and looked at Takeda in surprise.
Others didn't react at all, and it was obvious that everyone had already guessed in their minds.
"Why?" Li Ningyu asked.
"Because I want to find someone!" Takeda gritted his teeth, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, "I want to find the person who killed my wife seven months ago!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked shocked, including Su Yi and Li Ningyu.
"Seven months ago, my wife and I were on vacation in this manor to escape the summer heat," Takeda said solemnly. "As a result, someone brutally murdered my wife in the bamboo forest in the backyard!"
"It rained that night, and the rain washed away all traces of this guy, but it also left his footprints at the base of the wall!"
"And the pattern of the footprints is the unique pattern on the military boots issued by your East China Bandit Suppression Corps to officers with the rank of lieutenant or above in the headquarters!"
"In other words, the person who killed my wife is among you!"
