“The signal of our phones is too weak. After making the call, I realized that the other party couldn’t hear clearly. We couldn’t contact the vehicles and the rescue personnel. We can only wait until the rain becomes lighter before we can do anything else.”
“Does this mean that we are trapped here?!” The girl’s face turned pale and her pupils flickered as she looked at Xiao Liang.
Xiao Liang did not say anything. His silence said everything.
In that instant, a sense of fear swept over them.
The rain did not stop and the sky was about to turn dark. Not only was the way out blocked, but their phones also had no way of contacting anyone else.
Most importantly, there was a murderer watching them from the dark outside the villa.
No one knew what his motive was, and no one knew if he would kill again.
Old Master Song was someone who had gone through many things in life, so he could still sit calmly. But there was no way to ignore this problem.
“Xiao Liang, other than you, who else is staying in the villa?” Old Master Song asked his men.
Xiao Liang lowered his head. “Just Deputy Hong and I. The rest of the people have returned to the army, and some have gone to the city with the captain to buy things. ”
In other words, there were only two special forces soldiers left on the outskirts of the villa.
That wasn’t enough people. Old Master Song was silent for a moment before he said, “The two of you go together and take a look around the backyard. See if there are any suspicious people.”
“There’s no need to go.” Helian Weiwei, who hadn’t spoken all this time, laughed lightly and broke her silence. “Because the murderer is in this villa. He’s not someone outside of this group.”
People looked over at Helian Weiwei. “What do you mean?”
“The possibility of someone from outside this group committing a murder is too small.” Helian Weiwei calmly analyzed the situation at hand. “This place is not easily found by others. Moreover, before we came here, the security here was very tight, and the armed forces were all standing guard. The rain was so heavy, so it’s impossible for anyone to lurk around here. Therefore, the murderer must be in the villa!”
When the girl heard this, she trembled. “You’re saying that he’s hiding here.”
“I’m saying that each and every one of us could be the murderer.” Helian Weiwei’s voice was very distant.
Master Zhang shouted, “What kind of joke is this!”
“There’s nothing impossible about this.” Old Master Song was the most objective, and his simple response indirectly affirmed Helian Weiwei’s deduction.
The students present, including Master Zhang, Li Ya and the two servants, all felt fear.
The murderer was among them? Who could it be?
“If you don’t mind, I would like to ask this young lady a question.” Helian Weiwei walked to one of the female university students. “You weren’t in your room just now. It was raining so heavily, where did you go?”
That female university student didn’t expect Helian Weiwei to suddenly ask her. Her fingers paused for a moment before she said, “I was just walking around.”
“Someone died while you were walking around,” Helian Weiwei said unhurriedly. “What we’re looking for now is an alibi. My assistant, your other three classmates, and I were all in the room, but you weren’t there.”
Immediately, after everyone heard these words, they all turned to look at that female university student, including Old Master Song.
That female university student bit her lip and said, “I went to the attic that General Song told us not to go to, which is Tongtong’s room. I was very worried about her. I knocked on the door, but no one responded. After that, I went back to my room.”
“Did anyone see you go there?” Helian Weiwei continued to ask.
The female university student shook her head. “No. At that time, the servants were not there. I deliberately avoided the servants because I wanted to know what happened to Tongtong.”
“It’s nothing. It’s just that she said she was afraid when she came out out the room, and when she sees strangers, she would tremble all over.” General Song sighed. “Even when she eats, the servants have to carry the food up and send it through the wooden door. This situation has been going on for more than a month. I only learned about it this week. The doctor said that it was a psychological barrier, so it’s best not to agitate her again.”
The female college student bit her lip. “Is it a psychological barrier? No wonder I feel that she is becoming less and less like herself. Ever since she came back from the seaside, she has been a little different from before. We thought that she was the strongest one, but it turns out that she hasn’t gotten over it yet.”
“Don’t change the topic.” Jing Zifeng’s voice was very cold. “You don’t have enough evidence to prove that you weren’t at the scene of the crime.”
The female university student scoffed. “What do you mean? Are you suspecting me?”
“Everyone here is worthy of suspicion.” Helian Weiwei continued, “So far, you’re the most suspicious. However, there are still two more people. Master Zhang, did you really fall asleep after entering the room? And Miss Li Ya, you should have also gone out of your room during this time, right? It’s raining so heavily, what did you go out for?”
Li Ya suddenly raised her eyes and her gaze was a bit unfocused, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“There’s water in your room.” Helian Weiwei looked at her and her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through anything. “Your slippers are also damp, but the bathroom is very clean, so it proves that you didn’t take a bath, but went out.”
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… “
