Wanderer of the whirling world

When Taoist Xuancheng heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated, but then retracted to their original shape.

He tried his best to look calm, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile:

"Xin Dutong, where do you start with this? We've known each other for a long time, don't you recognize the identity of the poor? Senior Goubi was clearly injured and died, so how could it be him?"

Xin Ziqiu said calmly:

"When things come to an end, why do you have to be stubborn? Yes, your body is indeed Taoist Xuancheng, but he has been taken away by you. Although it was Goubi who died of serious injuries in the Taiyi Palace, but inside it was The soul of the real Taoist Xuancheng. You used your secret method of seizing the house to exchange bodies with him, and even killed him, and even killed Gong Yangquan to plan all this. Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Taoist Xuancheng's fair and handsome cheeks turned red with excitement, and his voice became hysterical:

"You...why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?"

Xin Ziqiu shrugged his shoulders:

"Although I have deduced the conclusion, but there is really no solid evidence to bring you to justice, so I had to ask Lu Tong to cooperate with me in such a play, trying to defraud you.

"I arrested Lu Tong early in the morning to spread the word and let everyone know that the government believes that he is the murderer. The bet is that you will take advantage of the night to kill people and settle the case of him committing suicide in fear of crime. Only in this way can you be arrested. , bring you to justice.

"Well, in fact, if it's someone else, the chance of success of this plan is not high. It can only be used as a living horse doctor. After all, the murderer has been captured, so you don't have to do anything, just sit back and watch the changes.

"But both Lu Tong and Tai Si have confirmed that you are a vile character who refuses to leave any trouble behind. If Lu Tong refuses to plead guilty, or presents some strong evidence to prove that Gongyang Quan did not kill him, then the case will be closed. It will become an unsolved case again, even if you commit yourself to Taoist Xuancheng's body, you will still have no peace.

"Only when Lu Tong commits suicide in fear of crime, Dali Temple closes the case, and the dust settles, can you truly get away with it, so with your temperament, you will definitely appear here sooner or later."

Taoist Xuancheng looked around and understood that everyone here witnessed the whole process of him entering the prison and intending to kill Lu Tong. He could no longer hide his identity and his plan was completely exposed.

Up to now, he no longer quibbles, the flush of excitement on his face has receded, his expression has changed from panic to relief, and there is only a little doubt left between his brows.

Gou Bi sat down on the ground, let out a long breath, and said:
"So you all knew I was Gou Bi? Xin Dutong... really amazing. I thought my plan was perfect, but it still fell into your hands."

Xin Ziqiu nodded:
"To be honest, your plan is indeed very careful. You first snatch Taoist Xuancheng, and create the illusion that you are a victim. In this way, everyone will think that Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain came to you Chase and kill for revenge, or there may be unknown masters coveting treasures and killing people, it may even be the poisonous hands of the remaining few of you alchemists, but no matter what, no one will suspect you.

"Then, you killed Gong Yangquan, and deliberately stabbed him to death in the right chest and heart, leaving clues. Gong Yangquan's body structure is unique, and the atrium grows on the right side. Only you alchemists know this, so you Taking advantage of this, he successfully poured dirty water on the remaining two people, Tai Si and Lu Tong, creating an illusion that the murderer was only among them.

"The best part of this plan is that you don't need to make any arrangements after this point, and things will go in the direction you expected. Because Tai Si knew that she was not the murderer, so after she checked the body of Gong Yangquan He would naturally think that it was Lu Tong who killed Gong Yangquan, and he would naturally attribute the death of 'Goubi' to him.

"With her timid and fearful character, she will definitely run away from Taiyi Palace and seek help everywhere. Whether she finds a Taoist priest on Longhu Mountain or finds two real immortals, she will try her best to testify against Lu Tong for murder. Help you to frame him and put him in prison to become your scapegoat.

"If there are any mistakes in what I said about these things, please correct me."

Gou Bi sighed:
"Xin Dutong said, it's like hearing and seeing, there is no mistake, I really admire it. But where did I show my flaws, and you saw through all of this?"

Looking at Gou Bi's gloomy and lonely expression, Xin Ziqiu suddenly felt the decadent and old heart under Taoist Xuancheng's young and strong skin, like a dead tree that has lost its nutrients, gradually withering.

He said lightly:
"Your plan can be called detailed, but because it was too perfect, it was self-defeating and made me follow you..."

After hearing this, Gou Bi suddenly raised his head and looked over here, his eyes were full of doubts.

Xin Ziqiu met his gaze and continued unhurriedly:

"Gong Yangquan's death, you did it too deliberately. The stabbing knife to the right heart did throw out obvious clues to the murder, but think about it carefully, Lu Tong is also a person who is good at calculating, why did you leave it so blatantly?" Is there evidence against me? This is the unreasonable part of it, so I feel that Lu Tong was framed by someone, and I was the first to rule out his suspicion.

"If you can accurately kill Gongyang Quan, the murderer can only be the remaining three of you. After I ruled out Lu Tong's suspicion, I was actually most suspicious of Tai Si, especially when she came to the door and told me Our Gongyang right atrium is the clue on the right, and after testifying against Lu Tong."

"But if you think about it more carefully, there are contradictions in saying that she committed the murder. The murderer is a meticulous person, and there is an obvious plan step by step, but Tai Si suddenly jumped out and testified against Lu Tong without proving her innocence. This is completely inconsistent with the murderer's style. You must know that she and Lu Tong are equally suspected, and the testimony she used to prove Lu Tong can be used on herself exactly.

"If Tai Si is the murderer, it would be meaningless for her to do so, and it would make the previous careful arrangements go to waste. This is inconsistent and completely unreasonable, so I basically ruled out her suspicion.

"Of course, maybe the two of them are pretending to be confused and playing reverse thinking psychological warfare with me. But I happen to know that you alchemists have a special ability to seize other people's bodies. Therefore, the suspects are not Tai Si and Lu Tong. One, and there may be the seriously injured Goubi, or even the dead Gongyang Quan, they may all be transformed into another person through seizing the house..."

Xin Ziqiu was born in mathematics competitions. He has been a master of various reasoning problems since he was a child. He has been trained in orthodox and strict logic. In addition, he has been an official in Kaifeng for more than a month and has some experience in investigating cases. , Just like a seasoned detective, he peeled off the cocoons layer by layer, so that everyone present could hear clearly, and just woke up from the big dream, and suddenly realized.

Even the two true immortals couldn't help but secretly admire him after hearing his reasoning.

Gou Bi sat on the ground, not knowing whether it was because of the remorse for killing his companion, or the anger of being exposed by Xin Ziqiu, his slender fingers kept scratching the green bricks on the ground, leaving deep marks on them.

Hearing what Xin Ziqiu said, he suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Even if you saw through my plan to frame Lu Tong, how do you know that what I took away was Taoist Xuancheng's body?"
