Chen Hao's expression changed: "Tell me, why don't you understand?"
Gu Heping said: "One of Du Chao and Du Yue has fire powers, and the other has water powers. If you want to frame them and blame them, wouldn't it be very difficult to use fire or ice spells to kill these dozens of mortals?"
Is it obvious? Why go to such trouble?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
Chen Hao muttered: "You are right, I have doubted it too.
Could it be that the murderer was worried that the frame-up would be too obvious and would easily arouse suspicion, so he didn't do this?"
Gu Heping said: "This is also possible, but according to my experience, simpler methods are often more effective, while complex methods can lead to unexpected consequences and even expose flaws."
Chen Hao nodded.
What Gu Heping said is right.
The complex conspiracies we see in novels or on TV are actually unlikely to happen in reality because there are too many variables. However, some simple and straightforward little strategies often happen in reality.
Xie Bingyun suddenly said: "Alliance leader, fellow Taoists, have you ever thought that the murderer may not be a cultivator."
Everyone was startled.
Yang Wanshu said: "If you are not a cultivator, how can you eliminate your own aura?"
Xie Bingyun said: "It may not be elimination, it may also be shielding in advance. This may not only be done by cultivators."
Everyone's expressions changed.
This is a good thing to say.
Shielding the breath can be done by sealing oneself, which is far simpler than eliminating the breath.
Xie Bingyun said: "The reason why I infer this is because another thing that everyone has ignored, but is actually very important, is that the alliance leader keeps feeling a strange itching feeling."
"The itching was discovered when the alliance leader entered the village, found where Du Chao and Du Yue were buried, and found at every murder scene."
"So the itching sensation is most likely related to the murder, or even the traces left by the murderer."
"If the murderer is really a cultivator, I can't think of any traces he would leave behind that would make people feel itchy.
Because we are cultivators, and we put ourselves in the role of the murderer, and as long as we block our aura, others will not be able to find our traces."
"So I guess the murderer may not be a cultivator."
Everyone thought and nodded.
Xie Bingyun's inference is very reasonable.
They were also surprised when they heard Chen Hao talk about itching, but because they couldn't connect it with the case, they subconsciously ignored it.
Chen Hao gave a thumbs up: "Bingyun, your analysis is very good."
Immediately, Chen Hao said again: "But if they are not cultivators, who has the ability to instantly put brothers Du Chao and Du Yue into coma, then block their own breath and kill dozens of villagers silently?"
Everyone said nothing and looked thoughtful.
Du Chao and Du Yue, as direct descendants of Chen Hao, have also been in contact with them, so they know the strength of the two brothers. After possessing the magic weapon, even if they are late stage cultivators in Qi Refining, it is not easy to defeat Du Chao and Du Yue.
An easy thing, let alone being knocked unconscious instantly.
As for sneak attacks... let alone Du Chao and Du Yue, who are powerful and have keen senses, it is difficult to succeed in sneak attacks.
Simply attacking two people at the same time is more than twice as difficult as attacking a single person.
Unless the foundation-building monk takes action.
But when he entered the village just now, Chen Hao had already asked. When the murder occurred on the night of the 24th, the alliance happened to hold a large-scale auction. All the foundation-building monks were at the auction and could prove each other.
Therefore, it is impossible to hide the murderer among the foundation-building monks of the alliance.
As for Wuqingshan, both the ancestors of the Pill Formation and the foundation-building monks have been destroyed physically and mentally. There are absolutely no foundation-building monks who are hiding in secret, working hard and preparing for revenge.
This can be confirmed by other monks in the alliance.
Outside the alliance, Chen Hao didn't know the casual cultivators in the foundation building period at all, nor did Du Chao and Du Yue. Even if the other party was capable, what motive would they have to attack?
Besides, if it was a monk, how could he explain the strange itching feeling?
It's really puzzling.
After a while, Chen Hao saw that everyone was thinking hard and had no solution, so he said: "If there is really no way, I am going to use the scene restoration spell to check the situation at the murder scene. Please give me a helping hand."
Scenario restoration?
The monks were surprised.
That is a very profound magic.
But immediately, everyone showed relief.
Since it was performed by the alliance leader, it's not surprising.
"The alliance leader has a destiny, and we will do our best."
Immediately, all the monks said in unison.
Chen Haodao: "Please go to the courtyard to form a formation and gather your magic power into me."
"yes."
The monks left the house on site No. 1 and came to the courtyard. After agreeing on the formation, they took their positions.
Immediately, the monks stretched out their arms, palms touching each other, and the magic power progressed layer by layer like a web, and finally converged on Chen Hao.
Chen Hao felt the huge and pure magic power coming from him, and immediately stretched out his hand to seal the secret and cast the scene restoration spell.
As the spell was cast, scene No. 1 gradually became hazy, as if shrouded in a looming layer of fog.
In the fog, some blurry scenes were faintly visible.
Chen Hao felt that the magic power in his body was passing away rapidly.
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.
Fortunately, there were dozens of foundation-building monks to provide assistance to him, and a steady stream of mana came in to replenish the consumption.
The scene in the fog gradually became clearer.
I saw a group of people visiting and talking back and forth in the living room and bedroom.
It was exactly what happened yesterday when Chen Hao and other secret service personnel, together with the Ministry of Security and Central Task Force, led by Yue Shan and other people from the Y Provincial Public Security Bureau, investigated scene No. 1.
The behavior of the people in the scene was very strange. Everyone was walking backwards and their postures were very uncoordinated.
This is because it is placed upside down.
Scenario restoration is to retrace what happened at the scene, which is the same principle as playing video backwards.
Han Xiujun and others had never seen such a strange sight before, and they all looked at it in surprise with their eyes wide open.
Chen Hao was aware of these scenes, so naturally he would not take a closer look, so he activated his magic power to speed up the intensity of the spell.
The scene in the fog seemed to be doubled and played backwards, speeding up rapidly, and everyone's movements turned into fast shots in a movie.
Soon, Chen Hao and others disappeared, and as time moved forward, scenes of Y Provincial Public Security Bureau staff carefully taking samples on site appeared again.
Next, the armed police soldiers blockade the scene, the public security personnel investigate the scene, the reporter reports the crime, and other scenes that have happened before.
Finally, the scene was restored to the late night of the 24th.
Everyone raised their attention, opened their eyes wide, and watched without blinking.
Chen Hao expanded the scope of the spell to the yard.
When inspecting the scene before, Yue Shan said that the villagers locked the door at night, but when they went to the scene to investigate, they found that the door was open.
So it could only be the murderer who opened the door.
