"Then guess who the murderer is." Susan still said calmly.
Tang Long sorted out his thoughts. In fact, he had memorized the five pieces of information very well since last night. He picked out the most likely one and immediately asserted:
"The murderer is the tutor!"
"Why?"
"In order to inherit the family business!" Tang Long simply said in strict accordance with the inference from the information, "From the story we can know that the tutor is very beautiful, but Ouyang Zhi is greedy and lustful, and his wife has been bedridden since giving birth to the child.
, it can be inferred that he must have many women outside. With such a ready-made beauty at home, he will not let it go. What's more, he has stayed in that village for nearly twenty years. If there is no benefit, which tutor is willing to do it?
So long."
Susan nodded after hearing this: "It makes sense. The tutor did have an affair with the male master..."
"So, I finally guessed it right!" Tang Long almost jumped up with excitement.
Looking at Tang Long sympathetically, Susan said regretfully: "But it's a pity that the teacher does not have any flesh and blood from the Ouyang family in his belly, so the murderer is not her."
"Then...is that..." Tang Long was about to give another answer when he was suddenly interrupted by Ma Long's voice.
"What are you talking about? What kind of murderer, tutor, why can't I understand a word of it?" Ma Long asked with greetings on his face.
Tang Qianqian explained: "It's a puzzle set up by Sister Susan, and no one has solved it yet!"
Ma Long was very interested when he heard it, and then asked: "What puzzle is it? Tell me about it."
"With your IQ, it's all in vain for me to tell you!" Tang Qianqian mocked, "How many smart people can't answer it!"
"If you don't tell me, how do you know that others can't answer it?" Shen Bingbing saw Tang Qianqian making sarcastic remarks about Ma Long again and again, and couldn't help but retort in favor of her boyfriend.
Tang Qianqian sneered: "Why, the school beauty is also interested in solving puzzles?"
"So what? If you want to say it, say it quickly. Half of the people sitting here will be confused and haven't heard it, right?"
Fan Yong, Feng Yicai and others really didn't know. When they saw Tang Long answering the puzzle, they were confused and wanted to know what the puzzle was.
"It's useless to tell you, because brother is about to answer it!" Tang Qianqian raised her head and announced proudly. This was the standard answer she helped her brother get. Although one was denied, there were still four answers.
, there will always be one that is correct.
"You each come up with questions and solve them, but it's so boring for us who don't even know what the questions are." Ma Long complained, "Even if we can't solve it, it's always okay to tell us the puzzle. Maybe we can
Can anyone help me with the details?"
Tang Qianqian turned to look at Susan and asked, "Sister Susan, do you want to tell them?"
"You tell me. There's nothing to keep secret, just tell them!"
There is nothing to keep secret, Tang Qianqian thought to herself, but if someone accidentally reveals the answer, Susan won't be able to marry my brother.
The answer is that it is a flower stuck in horse dung.
Although she was full of reluctance, Tang Qianqian still spoke slowly and narrated it. However, in order to prevent others from answering it, she simplified the complex story and concealed the actions and motivations of some characters. She thought that these key information was missing.
, let’s see how you answer!
.
In a small coastal village, there is a large landowner, the Ouyang family, who is the richest family in the village. However, this is a cursed family. The men in the family are weak and sick since childhood, and rarely live past the age of twenty.
Therefore, men in the Ouyang family get married and have children before they are eighteen, fearing that they will have no chance in the future. However, if they can survive past the age of twenty, not only will their health gradually improve, but they will also live a long life.
For example, the current head of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Zhi, is less than forty years old, has a pair of twins at his knees, the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside. Who can believe that he was still a sick man before he was twenty years old?
The Ouyang family has been passed down for three generations. When Ouyang Zhi came here, he gave birth to twins at the age of eighteen.
In order to break the family curse, Ouyang Zhi specially invited a famous witch from another village to personally deliver the baby and performed a ritual to help the Ouyang family break the curse.
I don’t know whether it was the witch’s powerful magic or the effect of the Ouyang family’s curse that was weakened. Not only did they give birth to a pair of twins, but they were both healthy. Ouyang Zhi named his son Long and his daughter Phoenix.
After Zhou Tian turned 100 years old, the physical conditions of the two children suddenly changed again. I had been worried that my son Ouyang Long was a sick child, but he was abnormally healthy and had no problems. But Ouyang Feng seemed to bear the curse that his brother was originally cursed with.
The body and disease become disastrous.
The son who could inherit the family business was in unexpectedly good health, which made Ouyang Zhi very happy. He held a banquet for three days and entertained the whole village, including his two cousins.
Ouyang Zhi's father had three brothers. Except for his father who inherited a huge family fortune, the other two brothers only received a small amount of land and could barely survive. But the poor have their own blessings. Not only are they healthy, but their descendants are also
Ping An has not been affected by the curse. The curse seems to only affect the family head's lineage.
According to family regulations, the family business can only be inherited by men. That is to say, if Ouyang Zhi unfortunately dies early and leaves no descendants, the family business will be inherited by Ouyang Zhi's cousin.
But Ouyang Zhi not only survived the curse period tenaciously, but also successfully gave birth to a pair of twins, and his sons are still very healthy. The purpose of his banquet was also to let his two cousins know not to take advantage of our family's property.
Now, the next generation of successors will be healthy, and there will be no problems in passing it on to the fourth and fifth generations!
Because his daughter Ouyang Feng was frail and sick since she was a child, and suffered a lot of sins on behalf of her brother, Ouyang Zhi arranged for witches to personally take care of her daughter's daily life, and held large-scale rituals every year to help her pray for blessings.
When Ouyang Feng was eight years old, Ouyang Zhi also brought a five-year-old little follower to his daughter to help her run errands and do some work. His name was Xiaoliang, and he was an orphan in the village.
In the same year, Ouyang Zhi invited a young and beautiful tutor from the city to teach his children and did not let them go to school.
Although Ouyang Feng was in poor health, he was very kind to Xiao Liang. He almost treated him as his own brother and gave him whatever delicious food he could eat. Xiao Liang also liked his master very much. Ouyang Feng walked in front of him.
He followed wherever he went. But he disliked the young master very much. Although the young master was a little thinner, he was very healthy. He would tease and bully his sister from time to time. Moreover, Ouyang Long seemed to have a bit of mysophobia. Xiao Liang accidentally touched him once.
After a while, he got angry and made Xiaoliang very scared. She hid far away when she saw him.
Originally, the story should have a happy ending at this point, but the tragedy still happened ten years later.
When the Ouyang brothers and sisters turned 18, it was customary to hold an adult ceremony. Their family was cursed by the mountain god. After the adult ceremony, the descendants had to stay in a temporary residence in the back mountain for one night to pray for forgiveness from the mountain god. If
The mountain god is happy, and the eldest son's body will gradually recover after the coming-of-age ceremony. If the mountain god is displeased, he will die before he reaches the age of twenty.
That night, the brother and sister lived separately in bamboo houses less than a hundred meters apart. Behind the open space was a large bamboo forest, and there was an old well in the open space.
Xiaoliang was worried about his master, so he secretly ran to the back mountain in the middle of the night, hid behind the old well, and quietly observed the two houses, but he didn't know which side Ouyang Feng lived on. Soon, the two bamboo houses
All the lights were out. Xiaoliang leaned on the old well, thinking that he would just spend the night here. He was also very scared when he went down the mountain alone at night.
But after an unknown amount of time, Xiao Liang vaguely heard the sound of sparse footsteps nearby. He raised his head and almost fainted from fright. He saw a headless man, holding a head in his hand, slowly
came towards the ancient well. Xiao Liang only glanced at it, then huddled on the ground with his head in his arms, saying: "Don't come here, don't come here..." He thought it was the mountain god who was causing trouble, and he was scared to death.
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard a familiar voice calling my name: “Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang, what’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Liang raised his head and saw that it was his master Ouyang Feng. Xiao Liang was so frightened that he threw himself into her arms and burst into tears. Ouyang Feng seemed to be scared too, and his body was a little stiff. He pushed Xiao Liang away and asked
What happened?
Xiao Liang's preface didn't match what he said. Then, Ouyang Feng took Xiao Liang to explore his brother's room. The house was very dark. After the two of them entered, a black figure suddenly rushed out and stabbed Ouyang Feng in the lower abdomen.
Then he ran towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
Xiao Liang, who had no reaction at all, watched helplessly as his master Ouyang Feng fell into a pool of blood. After regaining consciousness, he threw himself on her wound and cried loudly. After crying for a few times, he passed out.
When Ouyang Zhi and the witch went up the mountain the next day, they were shocked when they saw this bloody scene. They asked Xiao Liang carefully about what happened, but the frightened Xiao Liang could not explain clearly.
Ouyang Feng was stabbed in the abdomen and died of excessive bleeding. Her brother's head was cut off and abandoned together with the body in an ancient well.
At the time of the crime, because it was rest time at night, almost everyone had no alibi. By the way, Ouyang Zhi’s two brothers also have male descendants. They are addicted to gambling and almost all of them on Weibo.
The family property was squandered, and the two families often received relief from Ouyang Zhi. However, the two brothers had no alibi that night. They said they went to play mahjong in the evening, but they could not tell who they went with.
Please deduce who the murderer is? What is the motive for the crime?
