Chapter 583 The scapegoat
Chapter 583 The scapegoat
"I think the strangest thing is, where did the special fuel that the deceased Liu Jincui was touched come from?" Mu Zhao was a little confused.
Such a special substance cannot be created out of thin air, so who brought it to the island and used it on a folk swindler?
What is the purpose?
Yu Linlang asked Auntie Ya a few more questions, then turned back to tell Mu Zhao, "Auntie said that Liu Jincui sneaked out of the house and then sneaked around the other rooms. She probably saw that there were people staying in the house, so she didn't sneak in to search."
At this point she paused and said, "Ask Uncle Li to check around the windows and doors of those houses."
After a while, Lu Qian came over with Old Li and told them that they had extracted some sticky substances similar to those on a charred corpse from the doors and windows of a female disciple of the Nanting Tianqiong Sect.
"Sir, I compared the two and found that the slime stuck to the window seams and the door was the same as that on the corpse. In addition, I also found some similar slime on the grass near the wing room."
As soon as these words fell, the female disciples of Tianqiong Sect, led by Lin Qi, showed expressions of fear on their faces.
"Senior Sister Lin." A female disciple of Tianqiong Sect said anxiously, "Could it be that the murderer is coming for us?"
"Don't panic, everyone. First check if there is any stain on your shoes and clothes." Lin Qi frowned, a hint of anxiety replacing the cold feeling on his face.
She looked at Lu Qian and Ye Wuchen, "Sir, are we the only ones in the Tianqiong Sect that have those things outside the window?"
Lu Qian glanced at Old Li, who nodded affirmatively.
Then he said, "Don't worry, we have scraped away the sticky stuff, and cleaned the doors, windows and floors. If there are no accidents, there should be nothing wrong."
"Then the murderer came here for the competition, right?" Tianqiong Sect disciple Xu Jin stepped forward, carefully looked at his fellow sisters, turned around and said, "Senior Sister Lin is also a hot candidate for the championship. The murderer must have come here to kill her."
Lin Qi's face looked very ugly. What Junior Brother Xu said was exactly what she was thinking at the moment.
"Oh." Shao Qingqing raised a finger, her face showing a look of sudden enlightenment, "So, the murderer actually wanted to kill Senior Sister Lin Qi and the others? And that liar stole things because he was wandering around and didn't expect to get this kind of accelerant, which actually saved Senior Sister Lin and the others from a disaster."
Lin Qi's face was gloomy. She nodded and said to the sisters around her, "Everyone go into the house and change your clothes and shoes. There might be something stuck in an inconspicuous place. For safety, throw all the original clothes into the water to soak."
"Yes, senior sister!"
Everyone quickly turned around and went into the house.
Lin Qi looked at Lu Qianye Wuchen again, "My Lords, when can we find the murderer? The competition will start at dawn. If the murderer stays at the competition venue and attacks everyone out of the blue, then aren't we too passive?"
"Now we can only say that the murderer wants to attack your Tianqiong Sect, but he doesn't necessarily come for the competition." Master Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lin. Tomorrow, more than a hundred guards from our villa will stay in the large training ground to protect everyone at all times."
"Why is it not certain?" Xu Jin asked coldly, "My senior sister and the others narrowly escaped death and were almost burned to death by an unexpected fire. If someone hadn't happened to take their place, etc..."
Xu Jin suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Old Li. "Sir, you just said that the deceased Liu Jincui was covered with a special combustible substance. This substance would only burn if it were exposed to fire, right? Where did Liu Jincui get the fire in the corridor?"
"Yes, we have just been to the scene. There was not even a single lantern in the corridor. Where did the fire come from?"
Lu Qian sighed, "It was so dark that she buried the stolen goods. Could it be that she was holding a candle and accidentally got stained by the flame? Her daughter would know the answer best. It has little to do with the case itself."
Xu Jin frowned and retorted, "I was wondering, could it be that the murderer was hiding nearby at the time and was the one who set the fire? Then he watched the woman set herself on fire while hiding in the crowd and smiling."
Everyone was horrified and suddenly looked back and around, as if there was a murderer hiding next to them, and their whole body was covered with goosebumps.
Yu Linlang looked at the group of fools expressionlessly. Their analysis was meaningless. There was no evidence at all, but they were just speculating and guessing.
You said the murderer was at the scene, so you must produce evidence like footprints, or an eyewitness.
There is nothing, what's the point of analyzing...
It was Liu Jincui's bad luck to be the scapegoat. If she had stayed in the house and not come out to make trouble, nothing would have happened.
She came out to steal things and ended up being cannon fodder. There's no point blaming anyone else but herself.
Yu Linlang yawned quietly.
Mu Zhao hurriedly took her hand and turned to leave, "Go back and rest for a while."
Xu Jin's face was gloomy. "What do you mean? Are we going to disperse now? If the murderer is allowed to hide in the dark, there's no guarantee that he will attack Senior Sister Lin and the others next time."
"Hey, Young Master Xu." Master Yin hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Everyone is still half asleep at this time. Where can we find this unknown murderer?"
"It would be better to go back and rest first, and then bring the liar's daughter up tomorrow and interrogate her carefully to see if we can find any more clues."
Lu Qian nodded calmly, "What the owner said is very true, let's all go back and rest. There will be a series of martial arts competitions after dawn, which will be very physically and mentally exhausting."
"Yes, yes, how can we fight without a good rest? Go back, go back, everyone." Master Yin smiled and invited everyone to return to his garden.
But after all this trouble, it was already past the hour of Chou. Calculating the time, it turned out that he could only take a nap for more than an hour at most.
Yu Linlang felt that she had not slept for long when she was woken up by Shao Qingqing.
She opened her eyes blankly and looked at her, then sat up, feeling her whole head a little dizzy.
The latter whispered, "Junior sister, the time is almost up. You are in the second match. You must go on stage at the latest at 1:05 a.m. Otherwise, Young Master Wang will say that you voluntarily gave up."
Yu Linlang was dazed for a moment and quickly got up to wash her face.
Not long after, Baliangjiujin came to knock on the door. Seeing that his daughter was already awake, he couldn't help but smile, "Daughter, the prince is waiting at the archway. It's really Miss Qingqing who is thoughtful enough to wake you up so early in the morning, hehe."
Shao Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just a piece of cake."
Yu Linlang went out and looked at the dark sky, and couldn't help feeling angry.
Originally, she didn't have to participate in this battle, but Young Master Wang was unwilling to do so.
Young Master Wang got what he wanted, and she would let him see what it means to be extremely happy!
Mu Zhao, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the little girl running towards him excitedly. He smiled and walked up to her, holding her, "Lang'er, after the game, let's go back to the garden for breakfast. I've asked someone to cook rice porridge, and we can just prepare a few side dishes."
Yu Linlang naturally nodded in agreement.
Today, Miss Yu is wearing a neat red dress and looks very energetic.
