Li Lianhua led Fang Duobing back to the outside of the guest room, saying, "If they weren't in the same room, the situation could be explained clearly."
Fang Duobing was puzzled. "How could they not be together?" How could the two brothers not be in the same room? When they arrived at the scene of Zhang Qingshi's accident, they were all in the same room, and Zhang Qinghu could not have gone to the wrong room.
“Rooms four and five are built side by side. Which one do you think is room four?” Li Lianhua said, looking at the room in front of her.
This is a very strange question. Room number four is room number four, so why ask him which one it is? "Is there even a question? One is four and the other is five, so of course it's this one."
"Hey! That's strange, how come this is number four? When did you put the mud on it?" As Fang Duobing was speaking, Li Lianhua reached out and wiped the mud off the top of the number plate, turning the original number five into number four.
Li Lianhua reached into her sleeve and took out a handkerchief, wiping the dirt off her fingers before explaining the number plates: "It was dark, the murderer only needed to cover the white dot on the number five doorplate, and then add a little bit of this white ash on the number four doorplate."
"Then room four and five will switch places. All the Lion and Tiger duo need to do is return to their rooms separately. During this time difference, with a little manipulation, the one returning later will mistakenly enter room five as room four."
Fang Duobing listened to his words and pondered them; it was indeed a possibility. However, they still needed to consult Zhang Qinghu for further information before drawing a conclusion. Because Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing went back to their room early to rest that evening...
It is unknown whether the two Zhang brothers left together or separately.
To verify the clues they had deduced, they had to experience it for themselves. So Li Lianhua took Fang Duobing to find Zhang Qinghu, from whom they learned that they had indeed gone back to their rooms separately and that they had gotten separated on the way back.
The two then tested it out and confirmed that the path was covered with Qimen Dunjia magic, and they would get separated in just a short while.
The first thing to do in the morning is to tell everyone everything that has happened.
After learning the truth, Zhang Qinghu was no longer as excited as he had been the day before. "So that's how it is. I thought I was just drunk and walking too slowly, and my brother couldn't wait, so he went back to his room first."
“After getting drunk, one's steps become unsteady, unlike a sober person. You brothers were tricked into separating, and when you returned to your rooms, you each went to different rooms.” Hearing Li Lianhua’s words, Zhang Qinghu was stunned and immediately said, “My brother and I stayed in the same guest room!”
"Did you hear your brother's voice?" After Li Lianhua asked this, Zhang Qinghu recalled that he really didn't hear his brother's voice or hear any sound after he went back. But perhaps because he was drunk, he didn't think too much about it.
"No, I had been drinking, and the alcohol was really strong, so I went straight to sleep after I got back to my room."
"So your brother moved into room number four, and you moved into room number five. Last night, after the banquet, the Lion and Tiger Duo were separated by this stone path on their way back to their room. Zhang Qingshi was in front, and Zhang Qinghu was behind. Zhang Qingshi waited in vain for Zhang Qinghu."
So they returned to room number four. There, the murderer had smeared black mud and white lime on the doorplates, switched them, and then entered room four again, killing the lone Zhang Qingshi. When Zhang Qinghu returned, it was dark, and he was drunk and dazed. He saw the tampered doorplates...
After moving into room number five, the murderer, after committing the crime, knocked open the ventilation hole in the back wall to shift suspicion to the child. Then, the perpetrator wiped the dust off the room number plate. When Zhang Qinghu got up in the middle of the night, the room number plate had been changed back, and he was returned to room number four, only to discover that his brother had been murdered.
Li Lianhua recounted the entire incident in detail, providing a very logical and reasoned analysis.
"Please tell me, senior, who is the murderer who killed my brother?" Zhang Qinghu's emotions began to rise. He wanted to know who the murderer was so that he could avenge his brother.
Li Lianhua did not reveal the person's name directly, but when talking about his judgment of the murderer, he said, "The fact that he could think of adjusting the gaps in the stone slabs and that he could think of a way to lure people away from the fork in the road, in my judgment, means that this person understands the art of Qimen Dunjia."
These words were quite obvious. How many of these people knew the art of Qimen Dunjia? The murderer was immediately locked onto Gu Fengxin. The moment Qiu Tuo heard this, he turned to look at the man and said, "Gu Fengxin, didn't you learn the art of Qimen Dunjia before you joined the sect?"
"I've long heard of the renowned Su Shou Shu Sheng, and seeing him today confirms his skill. Indeed, I killed Zhang Qing Shi!" Gu Feng Xin made no attempt to hide his reputation, praising Su Shou Shu Sheng's name. When he mentioned Zhang Qing Shi, his face turned fierce, as if he wanted to devour him alive to vent his hatred.
"You surnamed Gu, we brothers have no grudge against you, why did you do this to us!" The murderer had already confessed. When Zhang Qinghu learned that the murderer was Gu Fengxin, he also understood why he would kill him when he had no grudge against Gu Fengxin.
Gu Fengxin looked at the person and snorted coldly, his body trembling slightly. "No grudges or hatred? Do you still remember the name Yu Wanwan?"
Upon hearing this name, Zhang Qinghu froze, but Qiu Tuo beside him spoke up, "Luo Chendie, Yu Wanwan, I heard that she entered the industry halfway through with her brother. Is her brother you?"
“The art of divination and the art of divination are difficult to learn and difficult to understand. Even if you put in a lot of hard work, there are few opportunities to use your skills. As a result, most of the disciples in the sect are poor. By chance, I went into the tomb to steal treasures and found that I could not only use my skills but also make a fortune. I became obsessed and took my sister with me to become tomb raiders.”
Who would have thought that five years ago, my cousin, in league with these two ruthless duo, was raped and murdered by Zhang Qingshi while he was drunk? I've been looking for a chance to take revenge ever since, but the combined power of the two ruthless duo was too great, and I couldn't find a way to strike. Finally, heaven has opened its eyes and allowed me to have this opportunity today, so that I can finally avenge my great grudge!
When Gu Fengxin recounted what had happened, he was filled with resentment and hatred. If it weren't for Zhang Qingshi, his own sister wouldn't have been involved. He also felt responsible; if he and his sister hadn't separated, that beast wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of them.
Having avenged his great grudge, Gu Fengxin laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Hahaha!"
"Zhang Qingshi was pierced through the throat by my sister's jade hairpin. I killed him with pleasure, and it was the right thing to do. But I didn't cut off his dog's head. If I could, I would really like to cut off his dog's head and place it in front of my sister's grave!"
