Chapter 34 Puppet Town (17)
After He Jian finished speaking, the atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Shu Li looked at the other two people who didn't want to talk, and spoke first.

"A year ago, in the middle of the night when we first came to the town, Zuo Si and I heard a noise on the street, so we went out to check."

"In the tombs of the town, we saw the puppet surrounded by the townspeople, the same one we saw in the basement."

"The townspeople took turns to kneel down in front of him, make wishes, and then disappear. I felt dangerous, but Zuo Si didn't take it seriously. He immediately rushed forward and made a wish for a fortune."

"The puppet stared at Zuo Si for a long time and disappeared together with Zuo Si." Shu Li paused, then continued: "I returned to the town and wanted to ask for help. But I saw Zuo Si who had passed out and Zuo Si who appeared out of thin air. Boxes of money."

"Don't you have that puppet?" Bai Shu asked impatiently after hearing this.

Shu Li shook his head: "There was none that night."

"I moved the box into my temporary room and used a spell to erase Zuo Si's memory. Later, I bought a shop in the town and converted it into a hotel."

"Then I found that the lines on my body were increasing more and more, and something was wrong with my body, so I distributed the money to you one after another."

"After that, my wrinkles stopped growing and showed signs of fading, so I continued to distribute my profits this year."

"Later, I found records about puppets in the town." Shu Li lowered his eyebrows: "When I saw the puppet later, I asked him to remove the strange marks on my body. After he refused, I sealed him in The basement of the hotel.”

"Three days ago, Zuo Si somehow recovered her memory and remembered what happened a year ago. He came to threaten me, and then I wanted to use a spell to erase her memory again."

"On the night of the ceremony, it was already evening by the time I finished my work, and the time agreed upon with Zuo Si was coming soon, so I went upstairs to use the spell while others were busy."

At this point, Shu Li’s plot line is finished.

Cuo Yue always felt that something was wrong after listening to it, but he couldn't tell the specifics.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "Did you never go out again after the spell?"

Shu Li shook her head.

"Why did you lie before?" Cuo Yue later realized: "Why can you lie? At that time, Bai Shu was..."

Halfway through, he suddenly realized.

"You didn't sign..."

Shu Li nodded and smiled: "At least what I say now is not false."

other people:"……"

Huarong raised her hand to cover her eyes, and then spoke.

"The day before the festival, I made two new clothes for Bai Shu, one of which is women's clothing."

"She hadn't worn a skirt for a long time, so I painted her eyebrows and lips again, but Zuo Si suddenly came in and saw me."

"He used this as an excuse to ask Bai Shu to go..." Hua Rong vaguely said, "So, while we promised him to consider it, we were prepared to silence him."

"On the night of the ceremony, Bai Shu couldn't bear to do anything and returned to the bookstore with a hand full of blood."

"Later, Bai Shu changed clothes, and we went to the river together." After Hua Rong finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Shu: "It should be the same over there."

She had said so, and Bai Shu had assumed the role of a man pretending to be a woman, so there was no suspicion, so no one had to force him to speak.

After everyone reviewed all the timelines, Lin Meiren, Hua Rong and Shu Li were freed from suspicion on the basis that no one had lied.

In addition, He Jian threw people into the river first and was rescued by the residents of the town later.

Then Bai Shu came to the door, made Zuo Si drink wine mixed with drugs, and stabbed him in the chest with a dagger.But because he couldn't do anything, he left in a hurry.After that, he entered the house at the wrong time and saw Zuo Si who had passed out and his heart was still bleeding. It was unknown whether he would take action.

Shu Li: I never expected that the blame would be thrown out like this.

Cuoyue didn't even think about it, but he himself would be the center of attention.

"But none of you have an alibi, and no one can guarantee that you have not been here after Xu Shi."

His eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "What's more, Zuo Si's body was found by the river. There was mud on He Jian's feet when he threw the person into the river, so there would be mud on the feet of the real murderer. "

Lin Meiren interrupted him: "But we searched the body and everyone's personal area, and we didn't find anyone with river mud on their shoes."

Cuoyue said: "That means He Jian went back to kill people."

"I told you it wasn't me." He Jian was a little angry: "In my understanding, if the townspeople rescued the person, they would definitely send him to the hospital. Why should I go back and save him?"

"What if you just want to take a look? The townspeople won't guard Zuo Si forever."

"Even if you are right, why would I bother moving him to the river after I killed him? With his popularity, he might not be discovered until he dies at home because of the smell."

Huarong answered in time: "Yes, why did the murderer move the deceased to the river?"

Cuoyue thought for a while: "I think there are two possibilities. One is that He Jian framed himself and wanted to use this method to get rid of suspicion."

"The other way is that someone saw him throwing Zuo Si into the river, so he used this method to divert trouble."

"But who would be passing by the river at that hour?"

Shu Li watched from the sidelines and didn't speak for a long time.

Hua Rong looked like she had thought of the key clue, but she couldn't open her mouth because of what she said last night.

Shu Li curled her mouth slightly. In fact, her key clues were very straightforward and exposed very early, but they were covered up by her erratic responses.

At that time when I still didn’t know that I was the murderer...

Including when reporting the timeline in the first round, Shu Li's words can be regarded as key evidence.

But it's a pity that the four of them obviously didn't notice it.

"No, I still feel something is wrong." Cuo Yue tried hard to think back, his eyes fixed on Shu Li: "I think Boss Shu still can't completely escape suspicion."

"Why does it involve me again?" Shu Li smiled: "If it were me, Zuo Si should die at home."

"First of all, I couldn't move him at all. Secondly, even if I barely managed to lift him, how could I guarantee that no one would notice me during the distance from his home to the river?"

"Besides, there's no river mud stuck to me anywhere."

Cuoyue fell silent in astonishment. It was because he couldn't figure this out that he kept hesitating.

Could it be that the murderer is really He Jian?

This question floated in the minds of everyone except Shu Li and Hua Rong.

Oh, of course in He Jian's heart, he suspected Cuoyue.
