Chapter 548 The First Dead
[The killer successfully killed a trialist. Please ask other trialists to return to the hall within a quarter of an hour. 】
This cold voice made the already panic-stricken people feel even heavier.
Although it was expected a long time ago, the first person has already died.
It's funny to say that the hands of the eight people in the underground palace trial were all stained with blood, and many people died in their hands.
They should have been used to seeing death, but at this time, most of them were filled with an inexplicable fear.
Is it because of the fragile civilian body, or the sense of urgency of being caught in a countdown to death?
No one can be confident that they will survive this trial, even if they all know that if two more people die, the trial will be over.
But except for Wang Tianyun, everyone else will inexplicably put themselves into the body of the person who is about to die.
Seven figures appeared in the hall. After they looked at each other, everyone except Jiang Shuling heaved a sigh of relief.
Especially after Yan Ruoxue discovered that Meng Ting was still alive, her originally heavy heart became much lighter.
The only person in the scene who was extremely emotional was probably Jiang Shuling. He looked at the other six people seriously.
Yan Ruoxue, Meng Ting, Wang Tianyun, Mo Fanchen, Meng Qing, Zhuge Zheng.
There is no Yunzhongqing.
He looked again carefully, but there was still no Yun Zhongqing.
Jiang Shuling, who had stayed up all night in a nervous mood, completely sat on the ground.
He did not angrily want to find the murderer, nor did he cry or curse abnormally.
But his expression revealed an indescribable fear, as if he was just a hair away from going crazy.
It has to be said that Yun Zhongqing is a very capable person. He easily gained Jiang Shuling's trust. Even Jiang Shuling did not realize that he had become extremely dependent on Yun Zhongqing without knowing it.
If he had a glimmer of hope for this trial before, then his hope was in Yun Zhongqing. He believed that Yun Zhongqing would bring him back to the Yiqi Association intact.
But now, Yun Zhongqing has not appeared, and the result can be imagined: he is dead, and his support is dead.
So what should I do? Can I still be alive? Can I still leave the underground palace smoothly?
Zhuge Zheng ignored Jiang Shuling, who had fallen into a semi-autistic state, but frowned and looked at everyone: "Didn't I say before that we would find a win-win solution, so why did the first round of killers kill people!"
At this time, he no longer had the nagging look of before. His serious expression and an inexplicable pressure made others lower their heads at the same time and remain silent.
Zhuge Zheng carefully examined the expressions of the other people, but could not see any flaws.
Meng Qing stood up at this time and said: "Everyone, I don't know if you have other identities, but I can confess one thing. The identity card I drew is neither a civilian nor a killer.
But as a fortune teller, I can calculate whether one of them is a killer when I return to the room at night. Last night I calculated whether Zhuge Zheng was a murderer, and I can confirm that he is a commoner."
The others looked at each other and continued to remain silent.
Zhuge Zheng thought for a while and said: "I am indeed a commoner, and I think Meng Qing's words are credible. After all, his identity as a fortune teller is only useful for this day.
If we cast the real killer, the trial ends. If we cast the wrong one, his identity as a diviner will be reset and transferred to someone else.
So next, Meng Qing and I should be able to be ruled out as suspects."
Among the remaining people, Jiang Shuling was still in a state of trance, and Meng Ting could not help but tremble all over. Her eyes were full of distrust when she looked at everyone. Obviously, the death of the first person had a huge impact.
Yan Ruoxue looked at Mo Fanchen, who kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking, then turned his eyes to Wang Tianyun, and the two nodded in understanding.
Although there is a possibility that Zhuge Zheng and Meng Qing colluded in advance, this possibility is not high. After all, they involve the identity of diviners, so their statements are temporarily credible.
Then the remaining scope is much narrowed. The possibility of Jiang Shuling, a playboy, acting is not high, and everyone can see that he is really on the verge of collapse.
Therefore, the killer's target range is Yan Ruoxue, Meng Ting, Wang Tianyun and Mo Fanchen.
Wang Tianyun felt that the opportunity had come, so he said: "The credibility of what Brother Zhuge and Brother Meng said is still very high. Add in the situation of Mr. Jiang, then the four of us are the only ones left, right?
I would like to ask if we can enter Yun Zhongqing's room, so that we might be able to find some clues about the killer."
【Can.】
Immediately, a bronze door opened directly. After a few people looked at each other, they walked in one after another. Even Jiang Shuling, who had been absentminded, also entered the door, leaving only Mo Fanchen in the end.
At this moment, Mo Fanchen raised his head. The skin color on his face was a sickly white, his eyes were filled with confusion and an inexplicable uneasiness. There was some sweat on his forehead, and veins were popping up in his clenched hands.
Why, am I not a killer?
Why do people still die?
Are there two killers?
Or are other people's identities also capable of killing people?
After taking a long breath, he tried to regain his composure, wiped the sweat off his head, and entered the bronze door.
He had heard Wang Tianyun's words. The killer had been targeted at one of the four of them. What he had to do was to use every means possible to remove his suspicion and find the real murderer at the same time.
Even if the murderer can't be found, he still has to put the blame on someone else. He doesn't want to die, let alone such an unclear way of death.
After entering the bronze door, the remaining six people stood cautiously. On the ground in front of them were scattered food, tables and chairs that were crooked, and Yun Zhongqing's body was lying on the bed.
There is an obvious hilt on his chest, which is obviously a fatal blow.
Wang Tianyun looked around and said proactively: "It seems that the killer has not recovered his strength. Do you still remember the rules of the previous trial? The killer cannot stay in other people's rooms for more than a quarter of an hour.
So I think the scene in front of me was not created intentionally by the killer, but was caused unintentionally when he was fighting Yun Zhongqing.
In addition, the hilt of the knife was at the front of the chest, so it could be seen that he was killed from the front.
Although there are bonuses in martial arts, women's physical strength and strength are inherently weaker than men. Yun Zhongqing sees that she is not too young. An old man like this can use more means to survive.
Therefore, the person who can kill him head-on is most likely a man, so the suspicion of the killer will be between you and me."
After saying the last sentence, Wang Tianyun looked directly at Mo Fanchen, who walked in last.
