Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 594: Scream at the Inn at Night

After dinner, there was no possibility of any entertainment activities in the desolate town of Ishidu, so everyone went back to their rooms.

During this time, the four college students invited Chen Yi to play cards, but he declined.

The special case team came to Yunshui Inn to investigate a case, not to play. As the closest human activity area to the crime scene, Yunshui Inn is the first place to be explored.

Although everything that happened just now seemed normal on the surface, Chen Yi had already noticed some clues during his conversation with Wu Changchun.

This boss may have some problems.

"On the one hand, he brought up the murder case eight years ago, and on the other hand, he said that the public security organs required strict confidentiality. If you think about it carefully, isn't there a little contradiction?"

Chen Yi spoke up in the room and asked for everyone's opinions. Only by brainstorming can we get the most accurate answer that is closest to the facts.

He had previously asked Wu Changchun whether anything special had happened at Yunshui Inn, and the other party immediately mentioned that someone had died, which meant a murder had occurred. If he wanted to keep it secret, he could completely deny it.

Chen Yi felt it was a bit unreasonable to casually talk about a case from eight years ago to a stranger.

If it was so easy to leak, it would have been known to everyone long ago.

How many tourists have come to Shidu Town over the years? How many tourists have stayed at Yunshui Inn? Don't these people ask about the ghosts?
If we answered every question one by one, the police would have come to the door long ago and the internet would have been abuzz with it.

However, the fact is that few people know that people have died in the town of Shidu.

As for whether his boss Wu Changchun treated him differently or was apologizing for his son's rude behavior, Chen Yi simply ignored it.

Investigating a complex murder case requires grasping every suspicious clue, rather than rationalizing the suspicious points yourself. That is not investigating the case, that is a disease.

"You mean he did it on purpose?" The speaker was Teng Dabin. "You can even suspect that?"

If he didn't know Chen Yi well, he would have thought that he was delusional.

It was just a casual chat, but Chen Yi directly listed his boss as a suspect. The problem was that he felt everything was very normal.

At least he answered the question truthfully, which is considered sincere, right?
Chen Yi: "He not only mentioned the dead, but also the wronged souls, describing the town of Shidu as if there were ghosts lingering there all year round.

Although he kept denying his belief in ghosts and gods, his expression and tone were evasive, and he used dry denials to increase his credibility.

You were observing Wu Changchun the whole time and listening to the conversation between him and me. How did you feel after listening to it? Did your doubts disappear and you realized that there are no ghosts in the world, or did your doubts deepen and you felt that the town was even more weird? "

Teng Dabin thought for a moment and said, "It's true. He was fine before he sat down to talk, but after he finished talking about the wronged souls, he became a little weird."

Chen Yi: "You have a strong psychological quality and are firm in materialism. If it were someone else, it would be different."

He Xin asked: "What is his purpose in deliberately bringing up the murder case? It doesn't seem to benefit him in any way? Could it be that he saw that business was getting worse and worse, and he wanted to spread the news through the mouths of customers, so that Shidu Town could have a second spring?"

Teng Dabin is a flatterer and immediately affirmed: "That makes sense!"

Chen Yi was silent for a while, then said, "What if he finds out that we are police officers?"

Ok?
Several people stared at each other and began to think.

This assumption made the originally normal Wu Changchun instantly become suspicious.

If there was something fishy about Wu Changchun, if he could tell that the six men were police officers, then his motive for bringing up the murder case eight years ago in front of the police would be somewhat intriguing.

Why did the police come to Yunshui Inn? They must be investigating a murder case eight years ago, and Wu Changchun must be aware of this.

He first brought up the murder case, then pretended to keep it confidential and not talk about the details, and finally confused the entire incident and even brought out the innocent ghost.

"Is your eyes so sharp?" Teng Dabin didn't quite believe it. How much knowledge and vision could a mere innkeeper in a remote town have?

Chen Yi turned around and said, "Brother Bin, what we are talking about now is a hypothesis and an inference. The authenticity is unclear, so there is no need to deny it.

But since you asked, I can try to explain it.

Eight years ago, three people died on a dead tree outside the Yunshui Inn. How many times do you think the police would come?"

Teng Dabin said clearly: "You are familiar with it after seeing it so many times?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Yes, that's why I made this assumption instead of making random guesses. Adults will have some professional traits, and policemen are relatively more obvious, such as Lao He and Han Jun."

Teng Dabin looked at the two of them. If we only talk about temperament, He Shixin and Cheng Hanjun are indeed more like policemen than Chen Yi. They are righteous and have sharp eyes.

Chen Yi is more introverted. Not to mention his career, even his best friends can't predict what he will do in the next second. Just like when he was on Sendong Island, he didn't expect that the entire island would be massacred without a single piece of armor left.

"I'm sorry to ask so directly, but are we talking about the possibility that Wu Changchun is the murderer?" said Teng Dabin.

Chen Yi said: "For now, let's just deal with the matter at hand and don't think too far ahead. According to the clues we have so far, the problem with Yunshui Inn is still quite serious, but we don't know where the problem lies.

Also, Wu Rui's appearance disrupted my rhythm. Many strange things can be explained by autism.

Take Wu Rui's love of hammering the wall as an example. When guests stay at the inn, they have already planted the seeds of weirdness in their hearts. If they suddenly hear a rhythmic knocking sound in the middle of the night, will they not be scared? Will they not have wild thoughts? After leaving, they may exaggerate and brag to their friends that they encountered a ghost in Yunshui Inn. "

Teng Dabin nodded: "Yes, that guy looks scary. If I were to see him face to face, I would be really scared and think I saw a ghost.

So what are you going to do now? Stay a few more days?"

Chen Yi: "Just treat it as a trip and relax. Let's go to Shidu Town tomorrow. It's been eight years since the murder, and we don't have a very clear direction for the investigation yet, so we must not rush.

Take your time and unravel the mystery.”

They talked for half an hour and then left and returned to their own rooms.

Chen Yi and Su Ying had two king-size rooms to themselves, while the other four stayed in standard rooms.

It was windy at night, and there was always some link in the self-built wooden structure on the second floor that was not properly handled, causing it to squeak when the wind blew, which made the already uneasy tourists feel that the inn was even more eerie.

The hammer must have been taken away. There was no more banging sound. Chen Yi fell asleep unconsciously. The night in Yunshui Inn was quite peaceful. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yi was suddenly awakened by a sudden scream. He immediately sat up from the bed and checked his phone first.

The screen lit up and showed 3:42, but it was still completely dark outside.

"Ghost!"

"There's a ghost!!"

"what!!!!"

The first one who shouted "There's a ghost" was a girl, and the final shout came from a man.

Chen Yi quickly put on his clothes and walked to the window to look out. Everything was normal outside. The night was as dark as ink. The dead trees in the distance were swaying slightly in the wind. There was nothing strange happening.

Then he opened the door and walked out of the room.

The other members of the special case team also came out and met in the corridor on the second floor.

Chen Yi first went to see Su Ying, who had obviously just been woken up. Given her psychological quality, it was impossible for her to be frightened easily.

So, the one who shouted "there is a ghost" was Peng Xiao or Fan Wen.

The voice was distorted due to the fright, and for a moment it was impossible to tell who the voice was.

The end of the rooms on the second floor can be seen at a glance. After looking at each other, the six members of the special case team all looked towards where the college students were. At this time, three people had already rushed out of the room.

Couple Zhou Junjie and Peng Xiao lived in one room, while Fan Wen and Wang Yingjie lived in separate rooms.

The first three people are all there, but Wang Yingjie is nowhere to be seen for the time being.

"Ghost! There is a ghost! Peng Xiao! I really saw a ghost!" Fan Wen left the room and grabbed Peng Xiao's hand for a sense of security, her face full of panic.

Peng Xiao was shocked and confused. She knew that Fan Wen would not talk nonsense so late at night. She must have seen something and was scared.

"Fan Wen, you're not drunk, are you?" Zhou Junjie was more rational, frowning with some dissatisfaction.

"No, no, I really saw it!" Fan Wen said with certainty.

Zhou Junjie had no choice but to take a bold step and go to Fan Wen's room: "Where is it? I'll go check it out."

Fan Wen: "Outside the window, outside the window! A ghost in white is lying on the window!"

When Zhou Junjie arrived at the door and just pulled the doorknob, shouting was heard again from Wang Yingjie's room.

"Ah!!! Ghost!!!"

Zhou Junjie's face changed. He gave up on entering Fan Wen's room and instead rushed into the room next door where Wang Yingjie was.

When the door was opened, the sound lost its barrier and became louder, echoing in the corridor and filling the entire Yunshui Inn.

"Ghost! There are ghosts!"

"Junjie! Save me, save me!!"

"Yingjie, what are you doing? Are you crazy?! Don't move! I told you not to move!"

The situation seemed a little out of control. Seeing this, Peng Xiao and Fan Wen hurried into the room to check on Wang Yingjie.

Things happened too quickly, and Chen Yi and the other six certainly couldn't just sit there and watch, so they walked over.

"Ghost! Haha, there is a ghost, I actually saw a ghost!"

……

"Mummy, mummy, coax!"

……

"Junjie, are you Junjie? Ahaha... I can't see you clearly, why are you smiling? Are you going to give me the money or not? Peng Xiao? Why are you smiling too? Is it because you made the list of rich second-generations?"

……

"Fan Wen, you are here too! I saw a ghost and I almost died. I don't want to die. I like you and I love you! Will you be my girlfriend? I know you will."

……

"Is there an earthquake? Why is it shaking?"

Wang Yingjie jumped up and down in the room. Zhou Junjie had to work very hard to control him and pin him down on the bed.

"Wang Yingjie! What the hell is wrong with you!!" Zhou Junjie cursed and slapped him in the face, trying to wake him up.

What's the difference between what you just said and being crazy?

No one was laughing and the room didn't shake. It was obviously Wang Yingjie's hallucination.

The beating was very effective. Wang Yingjie gradually calmed down and covered his head and wailed, as if he had a headache.

Chen Yi and six others stood at the door and watched this scene.

Wang Yingjie’s “nonsense” just now contained a lot of information.

It was obvious that the two girls' expressions looked unnatural.
