Death Spiral [Infinite Flow] - Chapter 167

    As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed.

    The monk said solemnly, “Why did you say this?”

    “It’s very simple.” Lian Qiao said, “Because Little Apple is not stupid. She can’t go to places like Houshan alone.”

    Xu Rendong nodded: “Indeed. It is unlikely that the body is thrown after death. Her way of dying, the amount of blood is too large, it is impossible to transport it to the mountain without a trace, and the scene …” He asked Lian Qiao, “Is there a lot of bleeding at the scene?”

    Lian Qiao said: “There is a lot of blood on the side of the body. If the body was thrown after death, there would not be so much blood at the scene. So I think the back mountain is the murder scene.”

    The first-hand information from Lian Qiao solved a doubt in Ren Dong’s heart. If the reasoning is based on the premise that “the back mountain is the scene of the murder”, then many things will come naturally.

    First of all, Little Apple separated from the monk to go to the gym to get books and bedding. It was inconvenient to hold books and bedding in her hands. It was reasonable to say that she should deliver the things to the dormitory as soon as possible after she received them, but Ren Dong did not receive them, nor did she hear from the dormitory aunt that someone sent things to him. From this, it can be seen that what happened to Xiao Apple when she was picking up the things caused her to go to the back mountain instead of looking for Honeysuckle.

    Hou Shan is a dangerous place no matter what you think, Xiao Apple will agree to the invitation, which shows that the person who invited her is someone she knows and trusts.

    The answer is simple.

    Xu Rendong narrowed his eyes and looked at his teammates one by one. At this time, everyone had a strange expression, and they didn’t know what they were thinking.

    The long-haired aunt sighed and said helplessly: “What do you say? You mean, there is a murderer among us who killed Little Apple? But what reason do we have to kill her? “

    Lian Qiao pouted: “You have to ask yourself.”

    The scarred man said angrily: “What do you mean, sow discord?”

    The long-haired aunt stopped him and persuaded him warmly: “Don’t get angry, everyone don’t get excited, calm down.” She turned to Lian Qiao with sincere eyes, “I don’t understand why you are Let me put it this way. Everyone’s goal is the same, and they all want to get out alive. Now there are only eight days left to successfully escape, and we have come through the difficulties ahead. Why do we suddenly have an infighting at this time? “

    Lian Qiao said lazily: “Infighting? Finding the murderer and bringing them to justice is infighting to you?”

    The long-haired aunt’s face darkened and her voice became sharp: “What do you want to do?”

    Xu Rendong felt that the atmosphere was too tense and not conducive to getting along with each other in the future, so he tugged at his sleeve and whispered: “Lian Qiao.”

    Lian Qiao didn’t look at him, but grabbed his hand with his backhand and held it tightly.

    “What I want to do is very simple, there is only one thing from beginning to end.” Lian Qiao looked at everyone with a calm mind, “Just to live with him.”

    The long-haired aunt’s expression softened: “Then our goal is the same! Everyone just wants to live, what’s so good…”

    “Really?” Lian Qiao sneered, “Then let me ask you, what did you do last night?”

    The long-haired aunt was stunned: “At night? Didn’t everyone go out to find Little Apple?”

    Lian Qiao: “I mean before that. Little Apple should have separated from the monk around five in the afternoon, right?” He glanced at the monk.

    The monk nodded.

    Lian Qiao continued: “Everyone noticed that Little Apple disappeared at 8 o’clock in the evening. That is to say, the accident of Little Apple should be between 5 o’clock and 8 o’clock. I ask you What are you doing all this time?”

    Everyone looked at each other. The long-haired aunt looked unhappy: “In the end, you are still doubting us, is this interesting?”

    Lian Qiao sneered: “Don’t worry about what’s interesting. You just say what you’re doing and do you have an alibi.”

    “…” The long-haired aunt gritted her teeth, “I’m in a hotel room. The girl who lives with me can prove it.” She raised her hand and pointed at a certain girl, who quickly hurried nod.

    “Yes, yes, we can prove each other. We were taking turns taking a bath at that time.” The girl said.

    Lian Qiao pouted, as if not satisfied with the answer, but couldn’t find anything wrong. He turned to look at the scarred man again: “How about you?”

    “I was smoking on the balcony.” The scarred man stared fiercely, showing his fierceness, “I live alone, and no one can prove it to me. Why, does this count as I murdered?”

    “This, the poor monk can prove it.” The monk interrupted suddenly, “When the poor monk returned to the hotel at 8 o’clock, he saw this donor smoking on the balcony. There were several cigarette butts on the ground at the entrance of the hotel. , were thrown from the balcony by the donor. The poor monk was in a bad mood at the time, and felt that the donor did not speak much about public morals, so he went to the door and spit fragrance at him. “

    Congregation: “…Indeed, we can provide proof of this. At that time, it was more than spitting fragrance. If we hadn’t helped to persuade him, the monk might have sent him to the West.”

    Xu Rendong: “…” No wonder Scarface has several new injuries on his face today.

    Xu Rendong coughed and asked the monk, “What about you? What are you doing outside?”

    Before the monk opened his mouth, Lian Qiao answered for him: “Actually, it was the monk who found out that Little Apple was missing. He originally made an appointment with Little Apple to meet at the library, but when Little Apple left Back. He couldn’t wait, so he went to the gym to find someone, and was told that the books and bedding had been distributed long ago, and the gym was closed at that time. He was worried about the little apple, so he looked around the school, but couldn’t find it anywhere. She. Then I returned to the hotel and told everyone that Little Apple was missing.”

    “Yes.” The monk sighed and clasped his hands together, “Amitabha, I knew this earlier, the poor monk should go with her.”

    Next, the rest of the people said that they stayed in the hotel from five to eight and never went out. Since everyone lived together as two people, they were able to provide each other with an alibi.

    “Let me sort out my ideas.” Xu Rendong took out a pen and paper, drew a general map of the school, and marked everyone’s activity route.

    The long-haired aunt suddenly said: “Wait, one person is missing.”

    Lian Dong raised her head in surprise, and saw the long-haired aunt staring at Lian Qiao: “From five to eight o’clock, where were you during that time?”

    “I’m with him.” Lian Qiao snorted towards Honeysuckle.

    Honeysuckle nodded: “Well, we’re together… Tidy up the room.”

    The long-haired aunt asked suspiciously: “Tidy up the room? How long does it take? Don’t you go up at two or three o’clock in the afternoon and clean up until eight o’clock?”

    Honeysuckle coughed awkwardly. He knows that this reason is unreasonable, but he can’t say frankly that we are in doi, right?

    “He has three roommates.” Lian Qiao took a step forward and quietly guarded the honeysuckle behind him, “I chatted with those three people for a long time to see if there were any clues. I don’t believe it. If so, you can go to them now to confirm.”

    The monk said: “Then what did you ask?”

    Lian Qiao: “No, just an ordinary passerby NPC. After chatting, I came out, went to the cafeteria to buy him a meal, and asked three roommates to take it back. Then I went back to the hotel , just when you came back to inform everyone that Little Apple was gone.”

    If Little Apple was really killed by his teammates, then Lian Qiao was the most unlikely murderer. Xu Rendong knew that Little Apple was also a senior gamer and had always had a good relationship with Lian Qiao. What’s more, not only did they have no conflict of interest, but Apple had helped them a lot, so even Joe’s suspicion could be ruled out.

    Then here comes the problem. Who is the murderer?

    Honeysuckle stared at the simple diagram on the paper, lost in thought.

    Everyone came over and stared at the schematic diagram for a while, but couldn’t make any comments.

    The long-haired aunt sighed: “It seems that everyone has an alibi.” She looked at Lian Qiao with helplessness in her eyes, “Can you rest assured now? It’s really not us who killed Little Apple. Why do you think it was a human who killed her? It’s clear that this is a world where ghosts really exist, and she died so miserably…”

    Lian Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing.

    Honeysuckle frowned and pondered for a moment, also feeling clueless. He thought for a while and said, “Why don’t we change our minds – what is the motive for the murder?”

    Little apple is cute and lovely, with a cheerful and enthusiastic personality. She has a good relationship with everyone in the team, who would want to kill her?

    The monk said: “Maybe…she found something in the gym?”

    When everyone heard the words, their expressions changed slightly.

    “What could there be in the gymnasium?” The long-haired aunt looked at everyone hesitantly, as if recalling, “I remember that it was…you guys who went to explore the gym yesterday, right?” She pointed out Two people, a man and a woman, “Did you find anything?”

    The two immediately shook their heads like a rattle: “No no. We didn’t find anything.”

    The long-haired aunt asked again: “Then did you see the little apple?”

    The other party still shook his head.

    The long-haired aunt sighed, looked at Lian Qiao and said, “Then there is no way to verify it.”

    Lian Qiao did not speak, just lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand.

    After thinking about it, Ren Dong still felt that Little Apple had a lot of doubts, but now she has no clue. He glanced at the time and sighed, “I have class in a while, so I have to go.”

    He briefly told everyone about his conjecture about the elevator, and everyone was instantly refreshed, and they all said that it is important to go to class and study.

    Lian Qiao got up to see him off. At this time, it was about half past one, approaching the afternoon class time, and there were many students on the road. On the way from the cafe to the teaching building, the two kept silent in a very tacit understanding.

    Honeysuckle is still thinking about the little apple, as for Lian Qiao…

    He didn’t know what Lian Joe was thinking.

    When she came to the bottom of the teaching building, Honeysuckle finally couldn’t bear it anymore and pulled Lian Qiao to the corner of the bicycle garage.

    “I’m a little worried about you.” Honeysuckle looked around and confirmed that there was no one nearby, then sighed and said, “Since you doubt them, it’s better to keep it in your heart, why say it?” It’s just to scare the snake out… Do you really think they killed Little Apple?”

    Lian Qiao: “Yeah.”

    “Why?”

    “Because they had a motive.”

    Honeysuckle was taken aback: “What motive?”

    Lian Qiao smiled wryly, raised his hand and touched his cheek: “Their motive, of course, is you. Don’t you understand what 1992-2020 means?”

    Honeysuckle was silent for a moment and said, “I understand. But at least until 2020, they won’t attack me.”

    “So they started attacking others.” Lian Qiao sighed, “Little Apple and the monk are friends with us. I guess they dare not attack me directly, so think first The way to pry off our allies. When the little apple and the monk are both dead, the next target is me.”

     Honeysuckle was silent again. This time, it took a long time for him to speak.

    “Sorry.”

    “You don’t need to say sorry.” Lian Qiao looked at him with a smile, his eyes were bright, like stars were shining, “If the key player this time was me, you would stand there regardless of everything. I’m here, isn’t it?”

    Honeysuckle looked at him, her heart suddenly softened into a pool of water. He didn’t know what to say, so he reached out to Lian Qiao and hugged him.

    “Yeah.” He leaned on Lian Qiao’s shoulder and responded in a low voice, “I’ll always be on your side.”

    “…” I don’t know which word in these words touched Lian Qiao, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and there was a trace of inexplicable complex emotions in his eyes.

     “

    Xu Rendong is inexplicable: “What do I owe you?”

    Lian Qiao smiled: “You will know when you come.”
