039. Howling Siren
While thinking, Qiao Feng suddenly noticed that the lawyer of the public minister there suddenly stood up and walked upstairs with some anxiety. Qiao Feng thought about it and immediately stood up to follow.
The Gongchang was walking along the way, as if he was thinking all the way. After going up the second floor, he walked directly to the east floor. Finally, he walked into a place that was most disproportionate to the lawyer - the Buddhist temple.
Qiao Feng followed Gong Changzheng quietly and looked into the Buddhist temple.
I saw that the lawyer was kneeling respectfully in front of the golden-painted Buddha statue, looking very pious. But in addition to piousness, Qiao Feng also saw a hint of fear in his face.
"This is not like something a quaint lawyer would do. In addition, the murderer may be in this villa now, and walking alone is not a wise choice."
Qiao Feng walked into the Buddhist temple and said bluntly.
The minister was looking up and looked back. After confirming that it was Qiao Feng, he had no reaction and continued to go back to worship. After the kneeling ceremony was completed, he folded his hands together and wanted to stand up.
“Before being a lawyer, I was an old man.”
The Duke was standing up and trembled, and Qiao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Please allow an old man to have a little spiritual sustenance when facing despair and helplessness. Even if this sustenance is based on religion."
Qiao Feng held the old lawyer down on a seat next to him. However, just as he bent down, the prince sat down all of a sudden. After that, he seemed to relax and exhaled a big breath.
Looking at the will lawyer, Qiao Feng suddenly realized that in just two days, the lawyer seemed to look particularly old as if twenty years had passed.
After thinking about it, Qiao Feng asked, "So, public lawyer, why do you place your spiritual sustenance on religion? Could it be that two people died, which is an unbearable spiritual burden for someone like you who have been in contact with the law for half your life?"
"Ha. Two people died?...Please give me a glass of water, thank you.
The Duke was laughing bitterly and shook his head. After Qiao Feng poured him a cup of hot water, he held it in his hands, took a sip carefully, and said-
"Do you remember my absenteeism last night?"
Qiao Feng nodded and said, "Remember, you were reading books in the hall between 10 and 12 pm last night. But... so what?"
The Duke Zheng shook his head and said, "Yes. I am indeed reading... I think I should be reading. But the problem is. But I can't read a word. Thinking of the dead Mr. He Runxi and the murders that happened on the island, I can't read at all."
"During this period, all of the lawyers came to me for a while. I knew what they were thinking was just to help their client get something. So, I didn't feel bored, so I stayed until 12 o'clock."
"But... in these 2 hours, do you know? I... didn't see anyone walking out of me and leaving the gate!"
After thinking about it, Qiao Feng said, "This is not uncommon. There are several entrances and exits in the Gebei Pavilion."
The Duke Zheng shook his head again and said, "If you enter and exit from other entrances and exits, you need to go around a longer distance to kill someone and come back. Only by entering and exiting the front door can you reach a round trip within 30 minutes. Otherwise, the fastest speed to walk through other doors will be 45 minutes."
Qiao Feng thought about it, and finally, he figured out the answer.
The reason is simple, because when asking everyone about the alibi proof last night, although most people did not have any evidence to be testified by others within 30 minutes. However, almost all the staff have evidence to be testified by others within 45 minutes!
"Do you understand? Young detective."
The trembling hand was reaching into his arms, taking out a pack of cigarettes, and pinching out one with his fingers—
"Although everyone has no alibi certificate within 30 minutes, everyone has almost 45 minutes of alibi certificate. At the same time, I haven't seen anyone come out of the door from my eyes. Do you know, what does this mean?"
what does that mean?
It means... on this island... no, among the 16 people remaining in this Songbei Pavilion, there is no one... with the time and space to kill? In other words, this is what is called...
It is impossible to kill someone???!!!
Qiao Feng patted his head and let the idea leave temporarily. But Gong Changzheng had already lit a cigarette and took a sip.
"Not only did I not see the murderer... nor did He Yinghao leave from my eyes... Why did he go from other doors to the cliff fall point? Why did he choose to jump off the cliff in the same place like his sister? Why... Why is this?"
Yes...why?
Why did they all choose the same location and get pushed off the cliff?
Let’s not talk about He Xianya for now. Why was He Yinghao not vigilant when he went to the incident where someone died a day ago?
Qiao Feng couldn't figure it out.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Qiao Feng could only continue to ask: "Then...public lawyer, what does this have to do with your pursuit of spiritual sustenance now?"
Suddenly, the Duke Zheng's hand holding a cigarette couldn't help trembling. The ashes fell on his clothes, but the old man seemed to be unaware of it.
"I... have been to this island before. Why did Mr. Runxi invite me to this island when he made his will?"
"When he helped him make a will, he invited me to stay here for two days, and we had a lot of chatting... He is a very talkative old man. But... it seems a bit weird and his thoughts are a bit weird. I even once doubted whether he had the ability to control himself when he asked me to make a will."
Qiao Feng swallowed and asked, "What did Mr. He... say?"
"He said ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Simon?"
In an instant, Qiao Feng remembered the words "Be careful of the Siren" that the departing captain had said when he just arrived on the island.
The Minister of Public Affairs was nodding and continued to immerse himself in the memories—
"Mr. He likes the most is to take me to the balcony on the third floor and look at the entire island. He speaks very enthusiastically, and sometimes he always talks about his friends with great enthusiasm. One of his 'friends' has the taboo name - Siren."
"He said that his friend has been with him since he came to this island, making tricks and having fun with him. At first, I thought he was a fisherman. But later, what Mr. He said was not exactly like what a normal person should say..."
"'My friend, He has a very powerful force! Even the power to directly fight against the laws of nature! His eyes are full of magic, and those who look at each other will have an illusion, be tempted by Him, and unknowingly, he will go to the sea to commit suicide. He can break the balance, make the sea water flow back, and make the mountain climbing journey extremely relaxed! He is extremely huge, and is greater than any of you imagine! He is so small, so small that you can't see Him even if He stands before you. But His power is absolutely powerful!'"
The minister was imitating the tone of the old man who had already passed away. In an instant, Qiao Feng seemed to see an elderly man raising his arms and shouting on the balcony on the third floor, his face exuding a strange but rosy luster.
"So...you come here to burn incense and worship Buddha?"
Qiao Feng was silent for a moment and said slowly—
"Do you really believe that there is such a monster that can demagogue people and make people on this island jump off the cliff and commit suicide?"
The minister was covering his heart and took another puff of cigarettes, saying, "I don't believe it...but I would rather believe it than believe it. I'm thinking... I'm thinking..."
The old lawyer turned his eyes, as if he was afraid that something would be eavesdropped on Qiao Feng's ear and said softly: "Maybe... this siren has always been with Mr. He and has feelings for him. Therefore, for these children who completely ignore him, this siren... may start to take revenge... Amitabha... Amitabha..."
Qiao Feng stood up slowly and put his hands into his trouser bag.
Gong Changzheng no longer looked at Qiao Feng, and began to fold his hands devoutly, and started to chant something in his mouth.
Leaving the Buddhist temple, Qiao Feng came to a corner of the corridor and looked at the endless sea outside the window.
The sea was rushing and roaring. Under the strong wind, waves of waves fell on the beach like death warriors showing their bones.
………………Simon?
Qiao Feng frowned.
Is there really such a powerful monster in this world?
No……
Is this impossible?
No matter how it is, this is... impossible...
Qiao Feng thought so.
I'm looking forward to it too.
However, this dark ocean seems to have too many secrets that have not told the youngest race in the world.
Humans, such a young race, do not have the right to know all the secrets of the sea. No matter the bright side...
Still the same, full of blood and dark side...
On the fourth day of arriving at the island, the third body appeared.
And the location of discovery...
