The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang walked around the maple forest and found nothing wrong.

It was impossible for them to dig up such a large maple forest in the middle of the night.

Yu Hanjiang said: "The clues of Maple Forest may not appear until tomorrow. Let's go back to the archives first and look up the people who have disappeared in the past few years."

Last night, the two sneaked into the library on the fifth floor of the Shuxiang Building to investigate the case of falling from the building five years ago, and found out the information of the deceased. It was a senior high school student named Si Han with excellent grades.

Going to the archives again tonight, the purpose is to check the information of those who have disappeared from the school over the years.

The security guard locked the Shuxiang building, but in front of Yu Hanjiang, all the ordinary iron locks were useless. He gently opened the door lock, led Xiao Lou to climb up to the fifth floor in the dark, and opened the window after entering the library. flashlight.

There are too many materials here. Fortunately, all the folders are labeled and categorized. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang focused on the two labels of "personnel changes" and "report materials", and gathered all the relevant materials in the past five years. People read separately.

It took them more than an hour to lock on the target from a large amount of information.

The first missing person was a teacher in the school's psychological counseling room. He was 25 years old. Two years ago, he left the school after submitting his resignation letter, but suddenly disappeared. His family called the police. The police came to the school to investigate, but the school leaders said he had He left the school, and the surveillance did indeed capture him leaving the school.The report pointed out that the disappearance of the psychology teacher had nothing to do with Fenglin High School.

The second is the school security guard, 45 years old, who left his post while on night shift a year ago and sneaked out of the school gate, not knowing what to do, but he never came back.The police investigated and concluded that the disappearance of the security guard had nothing to do with the school.

The third is a Chinese teacher surnamed Zhou, 45 years old.

This is a middle school teacher. After he disappeared half a year ago, the school launched a detailed investigation on him, but because a large number of cameras in the school were broken at that time, the investigation failed in the end, and it became an unsolved case.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang immediately looked up the name of the teacher of the key liberal arts class five years ago-this teacher Zhou, five years ago, happened to be the key teacher of the liberal arts key class in the third year of senior high school, and the head teacher of Si Han's class.

His and Si Han's deaths must be related, which proves that their inference of "the murderer's revenge" is completely correct.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, took a deep breath, and said, "In the book The Count of Monte Cristo, there are exactly three enemies of the protagonist, and there are exactly three people who have disappeared from Fenglin High School in recent years. This cannot be a coincidence."

Yu Hanjiang nodded and said, "If my deduction is correct, the theme of the secret room is revenge, and the three missing persons should have been killed—and buried under the maple forest."

At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, splitting the dark night sky, followed by rumbling thunder.

With the sound of thunder, the torrential rain poured down.

Xiao Lou looked at the maple leaf forest in the distance, the entire forest was flooded by the rainstorm, as if he wanted to wash away the blood there.

There was a heavy rain last night, and it started to rain again tonight. The weather in the secret room world must also be related to the case. Whether their deduction is correct or not, they will get the answer after dawn tomorrow.

***

Hearts 3 secret room, the third day.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the school gate together, waiting for the key figures to appear.

The three students, Yu Hui, Yi Ru, and Xie Xinghe, looked back to normal. After entering the school, they all walked towards the teaching building with their heads down.

Chinese teacher Lin Yueran smiled and greeted the security guard at the door in a friendly manner.

English teacher Zhang Qing did not wear a suit skirt today, but high heels, cropped jeans and a thin sweater. She was wearing a red V-neck sweater and a delicate necklace around her neck. This woman is well dressed , looks shrewd and capable, very temperamental.

With a cold expression, she walked into the office building without looking sideways.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang pretended to be teachers and entered the office building side by side while chatting.

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "The police will come again today. After they go back, they must have investigated and questioned the chemistry teacher in detail, and ruled out the suspicion of the chemistry teacher committing the crime. This visit to the school should unlock the clues about Si Han's fall from the building five years ago .”

As for Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou, they knew about the falling from a building one step ahead of the police.I also know that the three people who have disappeared in the past few years may be related to Si Han's falling from the building.

Si Han, a key figure, and his relationship with the current suspects will greatly promote the progress of the case.

At 08:30 in the morning, the police arrived.

The chemistry teacher has not been released yet, probably due to insufficient evidence.

The police went to the sixth floor to find the principal, and Yu Hanjiang immediately followed with his invisibility cloak.

Sure enough, after the police entered the principal's office, they asked directly: "When we investigated Teacher Qin yesterday, she said that there were rumors of a 'curse' circulating in the school. Five years ago, Si Han committed suicide by jumping off the building. Three people disappeared from school last year, and Ying Xiaoya jumped off the building the day before yesterday, all of this cannot be a coincidence."

The principal looked serious: "Officer, you have investigated the case five years ago, and the disappearance case in recent years. After investigation, you have not found evidence of 'artificial'. Why is it suddenly..."

The policeman said, "A coincidence is a coincidence. Do you think there are so many unsolved cases that can be explained by coincidence?"

The principal was silent.

The police said: "Teacher Qin told us a key piece of information. Last Wednesday, after the chemistry experiment class, she and Xie Xinghe inspected the laboratory together, and watched Xie Xinghe sign and lock the door with her own eyes. The medicine bottle was full at that time, and It was not taken away, and the key was on her body. Our investigation found that there were signs of prying on the door lock, indicating that someone returned to the laboratory, prying open the door and taking the medicine."

The principal was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "Are you suspicious of Xie Xinghe? This student has excelled in grades since the first year of high school, and is always in the top three in every exam. How could he poison his classmates?"

The police said: "There is another key piece of information. Teacher Qin said that Xie Xinghe locked the lab at around 18:00, and school was over at that time. Since Thursday and Friday were the monthly exams for the third grade, she passed by In the teaching building, she found someone in class 3, so she went up to take a look... The person she saw was Ying Xiaoya, who was writing 'what should I do' in her notebook."

The headmaster froze for a moment, and said, "What do you mean?"

The policeman said: "Ying Xiaoya is in a serious predicament. At that time, Teacher Qin thought that Ying Xiaoya was worried about the next day's exam, and comforted her a few words, telling her not to worry too much, and to play well. Teacher Qin left the teaching building. At that time, Ying Xiaoya and Xie Xinghe were both in the classroom, and on Wednesday night, these two students were the last to leave the school."

The policeman paused, and then said: "Thursday and Friday are exam days. During the Fenglin High School exam, all students' seats will be disrupted. Ying Xiaoya's exam room is in the classroom of Class 7, Senior One. After the exam Afterwards, the school was on holiday on Saturday and Sunday, and the teachers corrected the test papers on the Internet. During this period, the murderer had no chance to commit the crime. It was not until the class on Monday that the murderer killed Ying Xiaoya immediately."

The principal frowned: "Officer, do you already have someone you suspect?"

The police said: "The person who poisoned was the person who returned to the laboratory to get the medicine on Wednesday. There was another person who suggested that Xiaoya went downstairs. We used equipment to detect the footprints on the roof of the building, and there was a second person at that time." Existence, and the fragments of the scarf left by Ying Xiaoya on the roof of the building, indicate that there was probably a conflict at that time."

The police finally concluded: "Your school may be hiding a serial murderer. We need to seal off the entire school and conduct a comprehensive investigation of all the teachers. I hope the principal will cooperate."

The principal pressed his temples with a headache: "Of course I will cooperate, but I hope the police can minimize the impact. People in the school are panic these days. The third grade is about to take the college entrance examination. Don't delay the students' studies."

The police officer nodded, turned and went downstairs, and let the accompanying brothers surround the school with a cordon.

Yu Hanjiang left the office - Sure enough, the police in the secret room world finally divided the case and connected it with the falling case five years ago. They will soon search all the teachers' desks and obtain a lot of information - including The books in Zhang Qing's drawer, the essays left by Lin Yueran, etc. These suspects will be interrogated by the police soon.

Xie Xinghe's suspicion is very high. The poisoner is very familiar with the situation of organophosphorus poisoning, and the dosage is also very good. Last Wednesday's chemistry class teacher Qin just explained this knowledge. Xie Xinghe is a top student, so he understands it immediately.If he left with the teacher and found a chance to turn back and pick the lock to take the organophosphate, it would be easy to do.

Because he locked the door lock and the lock of the reagent cabinet, maybe he didn't lock it on purpose when he locked the door.

The English teacher and Chinese teacher had little to do with the poisoning case. They didn't know enough about chemistry, and the evidence found on the two of them was related to revenge and the forgery of the suicide note, more like the murderer who pushed Xiaoya down the stairs.

That love letter of unknown origin may also have been written by Xie Xinghe.

Yu Hanjiang found Xiao Lou and told him his deduction: "I'm sure it was Xie Xinghe who poisoned him. He may have done this to warn you. It doesn't matter if Yu Hui or Ying Xiaoya was poisoned, because either of them was poisoned." , the other will definitely go to the hospital for rescue, as long as he leaves the school, he will not be killed. Moreover, the poisoning case will attract police investigation and prevent the real murderer from committing the crime."

Xiao Lou was shocked: "So, Xie Xinghe is actually saving Xiaoya?!"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "The printed love letter should also be written by him. There may be some secrets hidden in the love letter. Let's sort it out carefully."

Xiao Lou's memory is particularly good. He closed his eyes and thought about it, and wrote down the contents of the love letter he had read at that time on paper.

Xiaoya:

Since the moment I saw you three years ago, I have fallen in love with you.

Thinking of you every day.

My heart is full of your shadow.

I wish to never leave and never give up, and depend on you life and death.

May you be happy, live happily and live a long life.

When Xiao Lou first read it, he thought the words in this love letter were very nasty, but now he has a closer look...

His spine froze suddenly: "The third word in each line, when connected together is - leave within three days?"

Yu Hanjiang was stunned, and read the love letter vertically. The third word in each line really meant "leave within three days", and the last line also mentioned "live" and "longevity". The words are bolded deliberately, implying that her life is in danger.

The date of signing the love letter was last Friday, and she should leave within three days, that is to ask Ying Xiaoya not to go to school on Monday.

Linked to Monday Ying Xiaoya ate chocolate containing traces of toxins...

If the love letter was written by Xie Xinghe, then everything would make sense.

He knew a lot of inside information, and had a premonition that Xiaoya would be killed, so he stuffed a typed love letter in her schoolbag in advance, warning her not to come to school on Monday, but Ying Xiaoya didn't understand it, and she still came on Monday.Xie Xinghe had no choice but to act ruthlessly, throw away the poisonous chocolate, and poison either Yu Hui or Ying Xiaoya to the hospital. In this way, the murderer would have no chance of killing Ying Xiaoya when the two of them went to the hospital for emergency treatment.

It's a pity that it's still a short game.The sudden change of classes between the chemistry teacher and the physical education teacher was unexpected by Xie Xinghe.Ying Xiaoya left his sight, and the long-planned murderer immediately found an opportunity to trick Ying Xiaoya into going to the rooftop and push her downstairs...

Xie Xinghe wore black gauze on his arm, he was indeed paying homage to Ying Xiaoya.

For some reason, he couldn't tell Ying Xiaoya directly that she would be killed, the love letter implied, the chocolate was poisoned... still couldn't save the girl.

***

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were discussing the case when suddenly there was a piercing scream from outside the window——

The source of the screams was the school's maple grove.

After Xiao Lou heard it, he ran over with his accelerator shoes without hesitation.

Due to the torrential rain for two consecutive nights, a large area of ​​trees fell in the maple forest, and the school invited cleaners to clean it up. When Xiao Lou heard the screams and rushed over, two cleaners and aunties squatted beside them with pale faces.

Xiao Lou followed their gazes.

I saw a hand protruding from the rain-soaked ground of the maple forest.

——Thick bones, shocking!

Many passing teachers heard the screams and came to see, all of them turned pale with fright.Someone yelled: "Call the police, call the police!" "The police seem to be at the school, I'll call them!"

The police arrived soon, and Yu Hanjiang followed behind the police calmly.

He exchanged a look with Xiao Lou in the crowd.

The bones of the dead appeared in the maple forest. The news alarmed all the school leaders, and the police quickly surrounded the entire maple forest with a cordon.They quickly found a shovel and dug up the place where the bones appeared.

Pieces of human bones were sprinkled throughout the maple forest as if they were "scattered by heavenly maidens".

As the shovel dug deeper and deeper into the maple forest, bones emerged... more and more, more and more than I could count.

The face of the school leader was as dark as if he had just returned from digging coal in Africa, and the face of the police was also ugly.The two cleaners were stammering and taking notes. The maple leaves in the maple forest were still falling and sprinkled on the snow-white human bones dug out...

This weird scene made Xiao Lou's spine shudder.

Yu Hanjiang leaned into his ear and said in a low voice: "It seems that our reasoning is very close to the truth. The missing person was buried in the maple forest. Professor Xiao, please follow the forensic doctor to examine the human bones later, and look at their cause of death."

The forensic doctor arrived soon, and Xiao Lou went in wearing an invisibility cloak.

The scattered bones at the scene were quickly pieced together by the forensic doctor, and three human figures were assembled.

There are obvious differences in the pelvis of men and women, and Xiao Lou can tell at a glance that these three are all men.Judging from the development of bones, one is a young man around 25 years old, and the other two are middle-aged people around 40 years old, which match the age of the missing persons.

From the degree of corruption and morphological changes of the bones, it can be roughly inferred that the time of death of the three people is also consistent with the time when the missing person disappeared; moreover, the three people should have suffered violent treatment before their death.

The first young man, about 25 years old, had obvious depressions in his skull that had been struck by a blunt instrument, and his eye sockets were completely shattered. There were no obvious injuries to other bones in his body. The cause of death should be cerebral hemorrhage caused by smashing his skull with a blunt instrument.

The second middle-aged man had obvious marks left by a sharp instrument on his left sternum, and there were also marks left by the same sharp instrument between his two ribs. He should have been stabbed three times in the chest. Stabbed in the heart, the heart stopped and died.

In the third middle-aged man, the hyoid bone was obviously fractured, suggesting that the neck had been strangled, and the cause of death could not be ruled out as mechanical asphyxia—in other words, he was probably strangled to death.

The causes of death of the three people are different, but they have one thing in common——

Dismembered after death.

Because the body was dismembered and buried in the maple forest, the bones unearthed today were scattered all over the place. The forensic doctor had to piece together the three human figures with difficulty.

The captain of the criminal police said with a sullen face: "What's the result?"

Wearing a mask, the forensic doctor said in a low voice: "The three deceased were all men. According to the preliminary judgment, the cause of death was skull fracture caused by blunt instrument percussion, cardiac arrest caused by sharp instrument piercing the chest, and mechanical asphyxia."

The judgment of the official forensic doctor was consistent with that of Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou quickly left the scene wearing an invisibility cloak, joined Yu Hanjiang, and told Team Yu what he had learned.

Yu Hanjiang said with a sullen face: "These three people are the murderers who killed Si Han."

Xiao Lou nodded in agreement: "It seems that this avenger has already solved the enemy who killed Si Han."

Standing in the air corridor on the third floor, Yu Hanjiang looked at the maple forest in the distance with deep eyes. He organized his thoughts and sorted out all the clues one by one.

He whispered: "Ying Xiaoya's falling from a building is just a smoke bomb, and Si Han's falling from a building is the main thread of this secret room. Five years ago, Si Han didn't know what happened at school, and was killed by three people. Killing, these three people carefully designed to push Si Han down the stairs, and forged a suicide note, spreading rumors of "evil ghosts claiming life" and "death curse" in the campus."

"They did a great job. All the teachers and students in the school did not have any doubts about Si Han's fall from the building. The police couldn't find any clues. The school's report materials mentioned that Si Han was probably mentally weak and performed abnormally in the exam. .”

"The matter was quickly quelled, and the students talked about it and explained it as a 'curse'."

"However, Si Han still has a relative—that person is very concerned about Si Han, and he doesn't believe that she committed suicide, so he went back to Fenglin High School to investigate. That person is very smart, and finally found out the truth about Si Han's fall from the building. Find out the three murderers, and kill them with three cruel methods: crushing their heads, piercing their hearts, and tightening their necks."

"Only with extreme hatred will the body be divided up after the murder, and the fragments of the body will be buried in the maple forest of the school - this maple forest is facing the office building where Si Han fell, like a A blood sacrifice."

After she killed someone, she could throw the body elsewhere, but burying the three of them in the maple forest of the school, isn't it a memorial to Si Han?

When Xiao Lou heard this, he felt chills all over his body.

——This is a cursed school.The reason why the maple leaf is so red is because it has absorbed too much blood.

At the moment of entering the secret room, the last prompt message in the floating frame is the most critical secret of the secret room of Heart 3.

The secret of Maple Grove was finally revealed.

All the truth will be revealed soon!
