The girl who had chatted with Helian Weiwei before exclaimed, "You can deduce it like this? You're so smart!" All of them were too afraid to have any remaining energy or mental capacity to observe all these things. This pretty girl here was really cool!
Li Ya saw that everyone's eyes were looking at her, so she immediately explained in a gentle voice, "The signal in the room is too poor, so I just wanted to go out and make a phone call. Eventually I found that it was no better outside, and the conversation was intermittent, so I went back to the room."
"What Master Zhang?" Helian Weiwei raised her eyes. "You should have gone to Master Wufan's room, right? After all of you entered your rooms, we went up to the second floor. Then you met with Master Wufan again, right? There were two cups of tea in Master Wufan's room, and one of them was the cup you took from the hall before. Shortly after that, he drowned."
Master Zhang's face was red and he looked very angry. "You keep asking this and asking us that. Why don't you tell us where you were when Wufan got killed?"
"Is your brain made from tofu dregs?" Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows and looked very domineering. "Didn't I just say that the students and I were chatting on the second floor? If you continue behaving like this, I can only treat you as the prime suspect."
Master Zhang wrung his hands and looked reluctant to talk, but he wasn't so stupid that he couldn't see the situation he was in, so he took a deep breath and said, "I did go to Wufan's room. Originally, I wanted to discuss with him about what to do tonight, but after talking for a bit, I saw that he kept looking outside distractedly, and he finally told me that he was waiting for a call and still had something else to deal with... "
Chapter 1104 - Everyone Has a Secret
"Something to deal with?" Helian Weiwei repeated what Master Zhang said and her eyebrows furrowed.
Master Zhang acknowledged this, "When I saw that he was not in the mood, I did not continue our conversation. After I returned to the room, I started feeling sleepy again. I had just fallen asleep when Deputy Liang knocked on the door and told us to gather."
Everyone seemed to have an alibi, but no one could prove whether their alibi was true or not.
The female university student, Li Ya, Master Zhang...
Wait a minute, there was another person. There was still the Song family's daughter, Song Tongtong, whom she had never met before.
Nobody could confirm where these four were when Master Wufan died.
"Let me explain my suspicions." Helian Weiwei did not try to hide anything because the next sentence was meant for General Song. "Those that don't have an alibi are these three here, and also your granddaughter, Miss Song."
General Song frowned. "What does this have to do with Tongtong? She hasn't left the house for a long time!"
"But no one can prove that she didn't come out during that period of time, right? The servants aren't here." Helian Weiwei's voice didn't have the slightest bit of emotion.
Because of Helian Weiwei's rationality, General Song had to admit that there was indeed such a possibility. But he still replied, "Don't forget that Tongtong is the victim here."
"General Song is right." Master Zhang sneered, "Young lady, why didn't you mention Jing Zifeng? There's no one who can prove where he was during that period of time too, right? What a whimsical idea. Instead of suspecting the person who should be suspected, you are suspecting Miss Song."
The cold youth who was named raised his eyes and looked at Master Zhang. "You can also list me as a suspect. It doesn't matter."
His voice was very nonchalant, as if he didn't take Master Zhang's words seriously at all.
"You heard it." Helian Weiwei laughed lightly. The more she looked at the youth across from her, the more agreeable he seemed to her. From her point of view, this youth was the least likely to be the murderer, because if he really wanted to kill someone, then it would be too simple. He could have used his shikigami to casually kill someone without anyone noticing.
Among the few supposedly famous ghostbusters who came, only the youth was able to prove his ability. Some of the others were faking it, while others only knew some small tricks.
The person that Helian Weiwei had never suspected from the beginning to the end was Jing Zifeng.
He was truly here to catch ghosts.
As for the others, she still needed to investigate further to find out what else were they hiding.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker. It was getting close to nightfall, but the rainstorm didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.
If it weren't for the rain today, the special forces soldiers in the front yard might have sensed something. At least, they would have heard something.
However, the rain was heavy and torrential. and it was accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder and rain, so it completely covered the sound of the murderer's attack.
However, if Master Zhang wasn't lying, then Wufan's time of death should have been after Master Zhang left.
No signs of water were found in the deceased's room.
Why did he have to go out?
It was clearly raining heavily outside.
Helian Weiwei thought of this and suddenly paused!
Heaven Master Zhang had said that before he left, the deceased had said that someone was looking for him and that he still had matters to attend to.
Most people would assume that since he had come to the villa, he was probably waiting for a call from his company.
But because there was no signal here, only the phones within the villa were connected.
In other words, the person who asked to meet Master Wufan was in the villa!
He had used an internal phone in the villa that would not leave a call record to ask Master Wufan out, then killed him.
If that was the case, then the basic premise was that the perpetrator at least knew Master Wufan.
Helian Weiwei raised her eyes and looked at the four suspects in front of her. She crossed out Master Zhang from her list of suspects, leaving only three girls.
It couldn't be Master Zhang. The murderer should have called Master Wufan after he left.
The rest of them were hiding some secrets.
And one of these secrets could very well be evidence of murder!
The hall was in a deadlock for a moment, and unease filled everyone's hearts.
As the owner of the villa, there was no way General Song was going to let things go on like this. "No matter what, everyone should eat something first. The road won't be blocked forever, and there will always be a solution." As he said that, he turned to the servant at his side and said, "Auntie Zhang, go and get some food for these children ready."
Auntie Zhang seemed to be thinking about something and simply didn't hear Old Master Song's words.
"Auntie Zhang!" Deputy Liang couldn't help but raise his voice. "General Song is talking to you!"
Auntie Zhang then snapped out of her daze and replied, "Yes, I'll go and get some food ready."
Helian Weiwei's gaze immediately locked onto Auntie Zhang!
She looked at this back view that seemed filled with worries and her eyes narrowed. She stood up and said to everyone with a faint smile, "I'll go take a look around, maybe I'll find something. It'll also help me catch the murderer sooner."
General Song didn't object, and he did believe some parts of this young lady's deduction. "Let Xiao Liang follow you and keep you safe."
"Thank you, General Song, but there's no need. My assistant is very versatile and it's very safe with him by my side." Helian Weiwei was speaking the truth.
But no matter how one looked at Baili Jiajue, it was very difficult for anyone to believe that his hands had been stained with the blood of countless people.
Most of all, the aura he exuded was simply too elegant.
After putting on the military uniform, a certain highness had even more of an air of nobility and nobleness.
This kind of person could still be a commander, but he prob
ably couldn't fight, right?
The girl moved closer to Helian Weiwei's side and said, "You'd better bring that special forces guy along. What if your boyfriend is ambushed?"
But Helian Weiwei ended up laughing merrily and her laughter tinkled beautifully. "That would be great. If the murderer is so stupid as to walk into a trap, then I won't need to trouble myself to find this person."
Anybody who tried a sneak attack on a certain highness didn't seem to ever meet a good end.
It had been a long time since she last saw a certain highness beat anybody up.
Oho! She was really looking forward to it.
The girl was dumbstruck. What was going on?
"Alright, young lady, I'm going to give you a task, and this is just between two of us," Helian Weiwei leaned over towards that very lively girl and whispered, "Help me keep a lookout for who else leaves this hall after me. Because only the person who leaves the hall can possibly be the murderer."
Chapter 1105 - Something Is Going to Happen
The girl exclaimed and he looked very confused.
However, Helian Weiwei did not expect her to really keep watch. With that youth, Jing Zifeng around, he would tell her if anything happened.
Helian Weiwei smiled and disappeared with Baili Jiajue.
She did not know that after she left, a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness shone faintly towards her back...
"Auntie Zhang, do you need my help?"
It turned out that Helian Weiwei didn't go outside at all, but came to the innermost kitchen of the villa.
Auntie Zhang was hiding something in her heart, so when Helian Weiwei suddenly called out to her, she accidentally dropped the ladle in her hand.
Helian Weiwei looked at the way she behaved and concluded that there was indeed a problem.
"There's no need." Auntie Zhang turned around and smiled awkwardly at Helian Weiwei. "It's easy to cook for ten odd people. Captain Jiang couldn't come back, so my original plans of making a huge feast for all of you isn't going to happen anymore. I'll just have to cook curry chicken and a winter melon and meatball soup. You will feel warmer after drinking it."
Helian Weiwei smiled and replied, "Okay." But she didn't leave. Instead, she sat at the side and used one hand to support her cheek as she looked at Auntie Zhang with a smile.
Anyone would feel a little uncomfortable if they were looked at like this. Auntie Zhang turned on the fire and was stunned when she turned around and found Helian Weiwei looking at her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just have something to talk to Auntie Zhang about." Helian Weiwei curled her lips upwards. "Auntie Zhang has been working for the Song family for a long time, right?"
"Yes, I've been here since Young Mistress was born, so it's been twenty years," Sister Zhang replied gently. She thought Helian Weiwei was hungry, so she took a cooked meatball and handed it to her. "You can eat this first."
After doing this, she seemed to have realized something, so she wiped her hands on the apron and explained, "It's not dirty, I just washed my hands. I'll take another one for you instead."
Helian Weiwei didn't wait for her to get another meatball and just directly grabbed hold of Auntie Zhang's wrist and ate it. "It's very delicious, just a little hot."
Only then did Auntie Zhang smile and seemed less reserved now. "There's still a lot here. In the past, Young Mistress also liked to eat this."
After Helian Weiwei ate the meatball, she took another one and turned her head to feed it to a certain highness who was standing behind her.
A certain highness obviously rejected this kind of thing. "You eat it."
Helian Weiwei threw him a look that clearly despised him for not recognizing good food, then stuffed the meatball into her mouth. Both her cheeks were swollen from munching the meatball.
Sister Zhang cut the potatoes and said with a smile, "You really look like how Young Mistress used to, how very adorable."
Helian Weiwei felt shy when an older person complimented her and her ears turned a little red. But even so, she still didn't forget the purpose of her coming here, "Auntie Zhang, do you know something but didn't want to say it earlier?"
Auntie Zhang suddenly stopped chopping the vegetables and she looked at Helian Weiwei as if she did not think that a girl who was younger than Song Tongtong would be this clever.
"Is it about Miss Song?" Helian Weiwei's next sentence hit the main point. "Actually, the situation isn't like what General Song said, so she's actually been outside before, right?"
"Yes. " Sister Zhang let out a long sigh and looked a little absent-minded. "Young Mistress fell down from upstairs some time ago and the injury on her face hasn't recovered yet. She indeed rarely leaves the house, but sometimes she does. Old Master doesn't come home often, and he... always doesn't care enough about Young Mistress. Young Mistress lost her parents at a very young age, so she never had anyone to play with growing up. It wasn't easy for her to have this group of good friends when she finally reached high school."
"Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on people. Ever since she came back from the seaside, she seemed to be traumatized and rarely returned home, always going out to play. Sometimes, she would even bring some people from god knows where to the courtyard. I know that Young Mistress is just too lonely and wants someone to accompany her. But my heart really aches to see her like this."
"So you helped her hide the fact that she actually just came out of her room." Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows.
Auntie Zhang immediately paused and became agitated. "It's not Young Mistress! Miss, you have to believe me! A person like Young Mistress would not kill anyone. Even if she has become different from before, she would not hurt anyone!"
"I did not say that she must be the murderer," Helian Weiwei comforted Auntie Zhang. "There are so many suspects now, Miss Song is only one of them."
Auntie Zhang leaned against the chopping board and just heaved a sigh of relief.
In that instant, all the lights in the villa dimmed!
Helian Weiwei's intuition told her that something was going to happen!
She didn't stay in the kitchen any longer and immediately stood up to stride towards the hall!
"What's going on?"
"Why is there a power failure?"
"Did the power trip?"
"It can't be! There's no electricity in the villa at such a time?! What are we going to do?"
Old Master Song was still sitting in his chair. He used his walking stick to pound the floor. "Everyone, be quiet."
Fortunately, he was able to control the situation. Otherwise, once the power went off and the people in the hall started running around, it would give the murderer an opportunity!
There weren't many candles in the villa, and there were only some short red candles that were lit while eating western food.
Auntie Zhang immediately took them to the living room, lit them all, and placed them on the coffee table.
Helian Weiwei turned on the flashlight that came with her phone, used the light to look around the living room, and her eyes immediately narrowed. "Where's that female university student and Li Ya?"
"They went to the toilet." The girl did not forget what Helian Weiwei had asked her to do.
Helian Weiwei's willowy eyebrows suddenly furrowed fiercely at this moment!
Immediately after, a scream came from the toilet!
This time, Helian Weiwei was not the first to arrive.
The first person to arrive was Jing Zifeng.
Helian Weiwei had said more than once that this youth was very smart.
He was indeed smart.
At this time, anyone acting alone was worth paying attention to.
It was just that even he had not thought that the power would be cut off at this time in the villa.
Seeing that there was nothing going on in the bathroom, he knocked on their doors and told the two women that he was going to find some things to light up the bathroom. (This was one time the youth was particula
rly resentful that his master didn't buy him a phone LOL.)
The two people in the bathroom also agreed.
He had only left for three minutes when a scream came from behind him.
Jing Zifeng didn't hesitate. He immediately turned around and ran back in the direction of the bathroom and pushed the wooden door with all his strength. When he realized that he couldn't push it open, his eyes narrowed.
He exerted some force and a sword made from Qi appeared in his left hand!
Chapter 1106 - Weiwei Was Called a Liar
Bang!
The Qi sword fell and forcefully split the wooden door in half!
Helian Weiwei's guess was not wrong at all. If this youth wanted to, he could kill anyone in this villa in an instant, except for her and a certain highness.
When Jing Zifeng barged in, that female university student's hands were full of water. Her fingers were trembling because of fear, and her face was full of fear as she pointed outside the window. "There, there's someone there! There's someone standing outside the villa!"
Jing Zifeng raised his eyes. In the rain, he could indeed vaguely see a figure, and that figure seemed to be dragging something with its hand!
Just as the youth was frowning, the group of people behind him also arrived.
A bolt of lightning struck down. Through the ventilation glass window, everyone finally saw what the figure was dragging.
It was... a person!
Everyone's eyes were filled with unprecedented fear when they saw this scene!
Who was the person she was dragging?
Who was missing here!?
"Young Mistress!" Auntie Zhang reached out to cover her trembling lips. "The person she was dragging was wearing Young Mistress' clothes!"
General Song's expression suddenly paled. "Xiao Liang!"
"Yes, Sir!" Deputy Liang immediately rushed out!
A special forces soldier should have been able to move very quickly, and on top of that, the other party was dragging another human being along.
