Chapter 30 3. Who directed the killing?

Omg, someone killed an earthworm!And threw him into the pool of corpses!Just at the moment when the candle was extinguished! "Who was standing next to the earthworm just now?" Bronze asked loudly. "It's me..." Wang Jing replied tremblingly.As she spoke, she wept and removed the ferocious demon mask. "Ah, it's Teacher Wang!" Several students were taken aback. "Yes, it's me... I saw your conversation in the chat room, and I was worried that your expedition tonight would be dangerous, so I brought my cousin who is studying at Xichuan University here too." Wang Jing told everyone Qin Xianxian's identity was introduced.

After greeting everyone, Qin Xianxian called the police, then turned around and asked Wang Jing, "Cousin, did you feel anything unusual when the earthworm was killed just now?" Wang Jing shook her head, then nodded hesitantly, and said, "I don't seem to feel anything, but I seem to feel something." "What do you feel?" "It seems that there was a gust of wind that gently brushed my calf and hit the earthworm. The gust of wind was very cold and made me shiver uncontrollably." Wang Jing replied with lingering fear. "And then?" Qin Xianxian asked.

Wang Jing thought for a while and said, "Later, I felt like there was someone missing by my side, and then the gust of wind turned around and swept towards the door of the dissecting room." After listening to Wang Jing's words, Qin Xianxian walked through the wooden door with the candle and the bronze, walked out of the anatomy room, and came to the corridor on the second floor.They were facing a glassless window with steel bars welded on it, but outside the window, there was a tall tree.On the branch facing the window, there is a white gauze hanging, and there is a clear footprint beside the gauze.The footprints were very slender and looked like they belonged to a woman of short stature.

Bronze opened his mouth and murmured, "Could it be a ghost? And a female ghost wearing a white scarf?" "It must be the unowned corpse in the corpse pond looking for a substitute! A female ghost pulled the earthworm into the corpse pond, found a substitute, and then it turned into a gust of wind and swept out of the dissecting room. Window! That stranger who used the pseudonym Headless in the chat room must also be a ghost, and he led us here!" Standing behind Qin Xianxian, Wang Jing cried out hysterically. Wang Jing's words made her students feel terrified. Even Bronze, who was usually bold, couldn't help but tremble all over, and Ear and Thunder God simply burst into tears.

Before the police arrived, the security guards from the Security Section of Xichuan University first came to the abandoned medical building on the island in the middle of the lake.Two security guards were tied with safety ropes, and it took a lot of effort to lift the earthworm's corpse from the three-meter-deep corpse pond.The other security guards waved powerful flashlights to search back and forth in the island in the middle of the lake.However, in the end, no strangers were found on the island in the middle of the lake. What is even more surprising is that at the bottom of the corpse pool, there are not ten corpses that have been made into specimens.The humanoid objects that Qin Xianxian, Wang Jing and the others saw were only ten plastic inflatable mannequins wearing wigs, and their torsos were all painted with dazzling white paint.

When the security guards carried away the earthworm's body, Wang Jing and her students Bronze, Thor, and Ear stood beside the body silently, weeping sadly.And Qin Xianxian took a step forward, bent down, grabbed the earthworm's hand in his palm, and whispered, "I know, you were not killed by a ghost." "Didn't the earthworm be killed by a ghost? Then who killed him?" Although she was already in the office of the Security Department of Xichuan University, Wang Jing asked still in shock. Qin Xianxian replied solemnly: "I firmly believe that at this time, there are no ghosts! There must be a murderer on this island."

"But the security guards searched back and forth a few times, and they confirmed that there was no one else except us on this island in the middle of the lake." Bronze and Thunder God asked at the same time. After Qin Xianxian glanced at the other companions, she said word by word: "It's very simple, this shows that the murderer is among the five of us!" If all this was really done by a ghost, then the earthworm falling into the three-meter-high corpse pool would be enough to kill him, and there is no need for the ghost to stick a sharp dagger in his left chest.The only explanation for this is that the murderer was worried that earthworms falling from the three-meter-high corpse pool would not be fatal, so the murderer made up the knife.

The murderer's plan was very thorough. He predicted that everyone would scream after seeing the corpse under the corpse pond.He also knew when the candles would go out, so he was ready to kill the earthworm while everyone was screaming.And it was the simultaneous screams that masked the groans of pain from the earthworms. As for why the murderer can determine when the candle is extinguished, the reason is also very simple.The six candles were lit at the same time and, under about the same circumstances, were extinguished at about the same time.Qin Xianxian calculated that it would take twelve minutes for this kind of candle to light up and go out.From walking to the gate of the medical building to entering the dissection room, there are three iron doors and one wooden door. It takes the earthworms two minutes to open each iron door, and eight minutes in total for the four doors.And they walked in the corridor for two minutes, so when they stayed in the dissecting room for two minutes, the candles would go out one after another.

The murderer had come to the dissection room ahead of time and threw ten plastic inflatable mannequins disguised as corpses under the pool of corpses, just to scare everyone.And the stranger who used the pseudonym Headless in the chat room must also be the murderer. His purpose was to lure everyone to the dissection room and draw everyone's attention to the pool of corpses. The murderer also used a very clever method to make everyone think that the ghost killed the earthworm. The props used were the white gauze scarf and footprints on the big tree outside the window-only the ghost can get the earthworm from the welded steel bar. Walk through the windows.In fact, this is just a very simple trick, as long as you leave footprints on the branches and hang white scarves in advance, you can do it.

After listening to Qin Xianxian's narration, Bronze couldn't help asking loudly: "How can you be sure that the murderer came here in advance?" Qin Xianxian replied: "When we climbed over the iron gate on the long wooden bridge, I once noticed that the broken glass on the iron gate fell in front of the door. The traces were very fresh, as if it had just been knocked down. Who would knock? What about the glass shards on the lower iron gate to prevent overturning? Of course, someone turned over into the island in the middle of the lake early tonight." She paused, and then said, "Another piece of evidence. When the security guards carried away the corpse of the earthworm , I once took the opportunity of speaking to hold the hand of the earthworm, and found that there was no dust on the hand of the earthworm. The earthworm used to open the iron door with a wire. If no one came to open the door in advance, his hands would definitely be stained. There is a lot of dust on it. His clean palm is enough to show that the murderer has come to the dissecting building in advance."

"Then who is this murderer?" Bronze asked impatiently. Qin Xianxian pinched her fingers and said, "According to my calculations, go through the iron gate and come to the medical building. Open three iron gates and one iron gate, then inflate the plastic mannequin in the anatomy room, and finally throw it into the medical building. In the corpse pool, it takes a total of one and a half hours to leave the island in the middle of the lake. And all of this must be done after dark. So——I want to ask, who of you has an hour and a half after dark With other people?" Bronze immediately replied: "Me, Earthworm, Thor, and the ears, the four of us had dinner together, and then went to the library to read books for a while, and then came to Xichuan University together. The four of us are always together, No one left alone." After speaking, he looked at Wang Jing thoughtfully and asked. "Teacher Wang, how about you?" Wang Jing's face turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "Yes, I have no evidence to prove that I have been with other people, but this does not mean that I am the murderer!" Qin Xianxian sighed and said, "Cousin, I don't want to prove that you are the murderer. But—" She stretched out her black gloved palm and said, "You prepared this black robe for me. You are also wearing the same robe. When I looked carefully, I realized that the gloves attached to it were actually bought and sewn on. Why did you sew gloves on to the robe you bought? I thought, There is only one reason, to prevent leaving your fingerprints on the dagger that kills earthworms." Wang Jing yelled angrily: "This can't be the reason for me to be the murderer! I just thought it would look cool if there were an extra pair of gloves on the robe, so I sewed it on." "Well, cousin, even if you are right. But, I have another piece of evidence." "What evidence?" "All the plots set up by the murderer have a premise, that is, the earthworms and bronze must come to the dissection room of the medical building on the island in the middle of the lake, so that all plans can be implemented. In the cold drink room of the school this afternoon, you will instruct me , I want to make up a story to inspire these children to come to the island in the middle of the lake. But because the school network is down, I am not online, so a stranger named headless appeared in the chat room and told the scary story The ghost story brought earthworms and bronzes here. Why did the place he mentioned be the island in the middle of the lake you asked me to talk about? There is only one answer, and the headless is you——Wang Jing!" "You are all groundless speculations. None of you have any solid evidence to prove that I am the murderer!" Wang Jing cried. Qin Xianxian sighed again, and said, "Cousin, sure evidence will be found. You must not know that in order to prevent the increasingly serious problem of being late and leaving early, Xichuan University specially installed a surveillance camera at the school gate. This camera is a Those with night vision function can take pictures of the time when everyone enters and exits the school gate. As long as there is no accident, the camera will definitely record when you entered Xichuan University. You came to my dormitory at ten o'clock. If the camera captures you The time to enter the school gate was before 8:30, so go and explain to the police where you have been for an hour and a half." After hearing these words, Wang Jing's legs suddenly went limp, and she collapsed on the ground.
