"Oh my God!" Aunt Zhang screamed out of control, "This is...how many more people will be killed?"

"Why are you standing still? Hurry up and call an ambulance!" Carl's voice trembled slightly.

"What nonsense, the ambulance can't come up now." Keya said calmly.

After confirming Wu Yeling's death, Du Ruoying shook her head regretfully at them: "It's too late to save him, he's already..."

"What did you say?!"

Suddenly, Wen Qinglan noticed the fragments of bandage in Wu Yeling's hand, and her eyes widened in horror: "Could it be that Mr. William—"

"Kill...the murderer!" Aunt Zhang took a few steps back unknowingly, distanced herself from William.

"Calm down, everyone, don't rush to draw conclusions." Du Ruoying tried to stabilize everyone's emotions, but it was in vain. Before she and William could do anything, Carl and Su Xiaochuan had already stepped forward and surrounded William.

"Forgive me for being rude," Carl said defensively, "but before the police arrive, I suggest that it is better to limit Mr. William's actions—this is also to reassure most people."

William shrugged indifferently: "You are welcome."

With the unanimous consent of everyone, he was taken into the warehouse of the West Pavilion. In order to prevent him from escaping, they tied him to a chair.However, to Du Ruoying's surprise, William was very cooperative with their rude move.

Du Ruoying suddenly realized that she was about to lose William's protection. From now on, she could only act alone, and she might have to deal with the murderer's attack at any time. Even if she was lucky enough to find out the truth, it would not be easy to announce it in public——Gu Yue's case It still scares her a little.

Can I... really save William?

She has absolutely no confidence now.

The warehouse door closed slowly, and at the last moment when the door was closed, William smiled at Du Ruoying: "Don't doubt your ability, Xiaoying, I have great confidence in you."

The door was finally locked, and the two were completely separated. However, at this moment, Du Ruoying's eyes lit up with a ray of light.

William never did anything he wasn't sure about. Since he had confidence in her and entrusted her with the task of finding the truth, she would definitely be able to do it.

It was almost noon, and under the greeting of Aunt Zhang, everyone went to the table.Although William, the number one suspect, has been firmly controlled by them, the tension in everyone's hearts has not been really eliminated.

Calm down and think about it carefully, in fact, everyone knows that killing those two people in such a cruel way shows that the murderer has a deep hatred for the victim, and it is impossible for William to be such an irrelevant person.If you have to say that the murderer is William, there are simply too many contradictions——

As a murderer, he not only obediently locked himself in the crime scene with a double secret room level, waiting for others to find out, but also failed to prove his innocence after waking up, but also helped other suspects obtain perfect alibi.

And in the second secret room case, he left the gauze fragments with his own blood at the scene of the crime, completely convincing his own evidence, which directly caused everyone to lose control of their emotions and locked him up.

The real culprit's intention of framing him couldn't be more obvious.

Rather than saying that everyone is "convinced" that William is the murderer, it is better to say that they are just "hoping", that they hope that William is the murderer, so as to liberate themselves from the cruel and terrible second possibility——

In fact, the real murderer was still in front of their eyes, and he was eating lunch with them at this dining table, secretly looking at them waiting to be slaughtered, while brewing the next murder.

This lunch, everyone ate silently and heavily.

After the meal, in order to ease the atmosphere, Keya brought some desserts for everyone, a small plate, but it is full of beautiful things - ice cream mousse, cheese cake, chocolate puffs, condensed milk egg tart...they all have unique shapes and softness The bright color and the faint sweet smell are pleasant, and Du Ruoying couldn't help swallowing secretly.

Carl had no appetite, so he got up and walked out the door: "I have to go back to the west building to catch up on the design draft, so I won't eat with everyone. Qinglan, come over as soon as possible after dessert."

This arrangement made Wen Qinglan feel a little unbelievable: "It's already in this situation, do you still...continue to work overtime?"

"Because of the serious shortage of manpower for the project, we have to race against the clock." Carl said angrily, "Forget it, I won't force you, you can figure it out." After that, he left alone.

"Leave him alone, he's just a workaholic." Keya comforted Qing Lan, "Come, try the dim sum made by Aunt Zhang herself. It's a taste you can't get outside."

After everyone took away their favorite sweets, Du Ruoying carefully picked out a mousse and two egg tarts, and packed the egg tarts - she wanted to give William this to his stomach after he cleared his suspicions.

Wen Qinglan poked the mousse with a small fork, but it still couldn't go in: "This mousse is so hard from the cold."

Du Ruoying also tried to poke the piece in her hand: "It's true."

"Hey, yesterday's copies were fine," Keya asked suspiciously, "Maybe the temperature control of the refrigerator is broken today?"

"Let's put it for a while and eat it when it's softer. Let's eat something else first." Aunt Zhang warmly greeted them and handed them two cheesecakes.

"Aunt Zhang, you eat too." Wen Qinglan said.

Aunt Zhang waved her hand with a smile: "I won't take it, high blood sugar, just took medicine."

So Wen Qinglan and Du Ruoying put down the mousse and took the cheesecake, but just after taking a bite, they were stunned in unison, as if they thought of something at the same time.

"By the way, these two egg tarts are for Mr. William." Su Xiaochuan's voice interrupted Du Ruoying's train of thought, "Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten anything yet, why don't I accompany you to bring him something to eat?" of?"

"Then how?!" Aunt Zhang panicked, "If he wants to take the opportunity to escape—"

"That's why I said 'accompany' her, or is it that Aunt Zhang can't even trust me?" Su Xiaochuan asked with a smile.

"That's not what it means..."

"How about it, little Ruoying, do you want to go?"

"Okay," Du Ruoying nodded, "Then please trouble Xiaochuan." It just so happened that she also had something to discuss with William.

So, the two took the key from Aunt Zhang and went to the warehouse.

For the appearance of Du Ruoying and Su Xiaochuan, William didn't seem to be surprised. He caught a glimpse of the egg tart she was carrying: "So Xiaoying is planning to feed me?"

"Eh?!"

"After all, I'm tied up, and they sure don't want you to untie me while I'm eating, right, Mr. Su?"

"Hahaha, please don't embarrass me like this." Su Xiaochuan smiled, "Just coming to visit you is already worrying Aunt Zhang and the others."

Although their words sounded very reasonable, Du Ruoying still felt somehow calculated.

"...Hey, just feed it, it's not like you haven't fed it before." She gave the two men an annoyed look, then walked to William's side, and put the egg tart to his mouth unceremoniously.

William took a small bite, brushed the tip of his tongue across his lower lip, and swept away the crumbs, and then smiled provocatively at Su Xiaochuan: "If Xiaoying feeds you, it will taste even more delicious."

Du Ruoying's fingers tightened, and she almost couldn't hold back and pressed the egg tart on his face: "About this case," she decided to change the subject and divert her attention, "I've already dealt with the identity of the murderer and the secret room trick in the guest room." I have some general conjectures, but haven't found evidence—”

"Oh, that's really a pity."

"...What the hell is regret, you can give me some ideas!"

"I don't have any ideas for now." William said indifferently.

After finishing the last bite of egg tart, Du Ruoying froze suddenly.

Regarding the identity of the murderer and the method of committing the crime, now even she has some clues. It is impossible for him to have no ideas at all, but he kept silent, which only means one possibility—he is not going to tell anything. she.

It seems that they made the opposite choice after all. .seven

She has been working hard to find evidence that can bring the murderer to justice, but he wants to punish the murderer instead of the law.Evidence is simply superfluous to him. Even if he finds evidence, he will never want to share it with her.

He obviously had other plans—

A plot she was completely out of reach.

Obviously they have been locked up, but they can still maintain a state of strategizing.Du Ruoying couldn't help feeling the horror of this criminal genius again...

But she still didn't give up: "By the way, haven't you seen the murderer before? Although the opponent is wearing a black cloak, you should be able to see the general height and build, right?"

"It's hard to judge the height. After all, I was lying down at the time. As for the body shape, the cloak is very loose, so I can't tell the other person's body shape."

"Okay then," she sighed in disappointment, "Also, haven't you received a distress call from Mr. Wu before? Do you remember what he said on the phone?"

"Well, he kept saying 'help me, someone's going to kill me' over and over on the phone."

"Is it possible that it was a recording?" Du Ruoying asked, "Because according to my guess, he must have been killed at that time, and the murderer should not have given him a chance to call for help."

"It's not impossible."

... This guy, answering questions is really like squeezing toothpaste, without a single extra word.It seems that the follow-up investigation can only rely on oneself.

Du Ruoying fell into a brief silence.

"By the way, little Ruoying," Su Xiaochuan said suddenly, "I have a few words I want to say to Mr. William alone. I wonder if you would mind avoiding it for a while."

"Eh?"

"If you don't mind, forget it." He scratched his head embarrassingly, as if he was shy for his abruptness, "It's actually not a very important thing."

"No, no, let's talk." She retreated outside the door wisely, but the confusion in her heart became more and more intense.

She didn't understand what role Su Xiaochuan played in this case.William said he was dangerous, but he didn't look like that. Not only was he not dangerous, he was simply too easy to get along with.

Could it be that William wanted to use Su Xiaochuan, so he intimidated her in advance, telling her not to get close, so as not to spoil his business?

Could this Su Xiaochuan be William's pawn?

Du Ruoying pressed her ears to the wall nervously, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, but couldn't hear anything.

On the other side, in order to avoid being overheard, Su Xiaochuan leaned over to William's ear, and said softly: "To be honest, you should actually thank the murderer. If he hadn't knocked you out in time when you were poisoned, you would have died An hour that would be worse than life."

William, however, just gave him a cold look.

Su Xiaochuan smiled and continued: "I came to you this time because a friend asked me to pass a message to you. He likes to play chess and is very interested in your chess skills. He has always wanted to play chess with you. Once. After knowing your current situation, he was very worried, so he wanted to make a deal with you - as long as you return Mi Musha to him, he will protect you from this case."

"This deal sounds good," William said politely, but his teasing was beyond words. "Unfortunately, I've done too many deals recently, and I can't do it anymore."

"Oh, do you mean to refuse? That's really a pity." Su Xiaochuan said, "I know you have great confidence in Xiao Ruoying's ability, but it's really a shame to let her risk her life to find the truth for you. It's too cruel."

"With all due respect, your understanding of Xiaoying is the greatest cruelty to her." William sneered.

"Okay, okay, I surrender," Su Xiaochuan pouted, "It's pointless for us to continue arguing about this now, but—" He paused, "I know this rope is nothing to you, and your cell phone It’s still on you, please think about the transaction again, and you can call me anytime after you think about it.” He quietly stuffed a note with his phone number into William’s shirt pocket , then turned and walked out the door.

Outside the door, Du Ruoying was waiting.

Although she couldn't hear their conversation clearly, she was sure that Su Xiaochuan must be an important part of William's layout, as long as she kept an eye on him, she would be able to discover something.

The two locked the door lock again. At this moment, there was a scream from outside the corridor——

Du Ruoying clearly recognized that it was Wen Qinglan's voice.
