Chapter 1941

Seeing that everyone was terrified by a cartoon, Gu Chen couldn't help shaking his head.

Among them was Lu Weiwei.

You know, Lu Weiwei in the Furong branch can be regarded as fearless, but she is also afraid of the stories in the comics.

It can be seen that Master Xiao's daughter has completely drawn the image in this cartoon with a soul, and appears in front of everyone as if she is detached.

Coupled with the high degree of overlap between the content and many situations in reality, this inevitably makes everyone confused.

Especially now that the murderer who killed Yuan Jialiang has not been found yet, what will the murderer do next? Everyone can only find the answer through this horror comic.

The point is that the murderer seems to be playing tricks on the police, and seems to be deliberately providing clues to the police, which surprised everyone, but they don't know what the murderer wants to do?

So everyone can only sit in the conference room honestly, and collectively study and discuss this horror comic that was serialized 15 years ago.

But this study doesn't matter, it seems that many plots are quite similar to some real scenes back then.

"Gu Chen." Seeing that Gu Chen had stopped, Police Officer Wang also urged, "Quickly explain and see what's going on behind the scenes?"

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and continued: "As I said just now, the boy is in the room, and all the lights are strangely turned off, and it won't help if you press the switch in time."

"And what followed was the ghost king in the mirror. The ghost king seemed to break free from the shackles of space, and climbed out of the mirror directly. A cloud of black mist in the painting floated in front of the boy."

"But the boy at this moment also recognized the ghost king and asked why it appeared in his room?"

"As a result, the ghost king laughed and told the boy that the boy now has already merged with the ghost king, and the soul in the boy's body actually belongs to the ghost king."

"Because the two parties signed a contract in the dark forest before, the ghost king can be stored in the boy's body and can help the boy get rid of troubles, while the boy needs to be controlled by the ghost king."

"That's why, when the boy killed the whole village, he didn't feel anything."

"Because it was the ghost king in his own body that did the murder, and the boy at that time had no control over his soul and ideology."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "That's why, the impressions in the boy's mind are always faintly visible, yet very familiar..."

Gu Chen continued to explain the next content, and also accelerated the speed.

"The boy told the ghost king that he was going to make a deal with that person. The ghost king smiled and told him that no one can hurt him now, and he just needs to do what he wants."

"Afterwards, the ghost king painted a cloud of black mist again, which disappeared into the mirror in the room."

"And when the boy came to the mirror again, the face that appeared in the mirror turned back into himself again."

"And the hideous appearance I had before no longer exists, and the electric lights are also turning on at this moment."

"Everything in the room seems to have returned to the way it was before."

"Afterwards, the boy felt that he might be able to explore why the passer-by who was burned to death the day before appeared outside the village again?"

"So, out of curiosity, the boy decided to find out, so the next day, the boy came to the transaction site at the agreed time."

"But because he was afraid of being followed and threatened, or even secretly killed, the boy quietly put the package in the old mailbox that was locked without a key two hours in advance, when there was no one around."

"The boy was secretly hiding on the roof of an old building nearby, keeping a close eye on the situation at the scene."

"At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a mysterious man wearing a black coat and carrying a black leather bag found that everything around him was normal after looking around."

"When no one was looking, he turned his back to the mailbox, took out the contents, and quickly stuffed them into his coat."

"At the same time, the man in black secretly stuffed a black package into the mailbox, and then quietly evacuated at the end."

"The boy should be on stage, right? The boy will take the black package, right?" Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen didn't know, he could only fast-forward according to the picture, and then saw the content behind, so he shook his head:

"No, the boy didn't do that. The reason why he agreed to trade with this stranger he had never met before was to find out how the passer-by killed by him was related to the body that died the day before?"

"So, he is not for money, but for the truth, because he has already deeply felt that the ghost king seems to be gradually controlling the most innocent things in his heart."

Yawen, "He wants to redeem himself. He wants to know how the fire happened the day before?"

"So, the boy secretly followed the man in black, turning left and right in the small town, and finally came to a remote alley."

"Here, no one bothers you. The man in black checked the surrounding situation repeatedly before he opened the package."

"However, what made the man in black furious was that there was actually a bag of flour inside the package."

"Because the boy has already changed hands, he doesn't want to involve himself in this transaction, and he doesn't want that package to be circulated in the market."

"So the boy came up with a way to steal the beam and replace the pillar, destroying all the original package, and using the flour from the master's house as a trading item."

"But what shocked the boy was that he hid beside the trash can on the side of the alley, but he clearly found that the man in black was almost exactly the same as the passer-by he killed yesterday."

"My God!" Lu Weiwei was shocked when she saw this: "It's a pity that this old Xiao's daughter doesn't write suspense. In this way, wouldn't there be three identical characters, that is, the first two characters?" The foreigner who was burned to death by the fire."

"And the man who came to the village to beg for water and was killed by the boy is now the man in black who wants to trade with the boy?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, also wondering: "In the comics, there are three people with the same appearance, but this is the artistic creation of Master Xiao's daughter, so it doesn't represent anything?"

"But if the murderer is also acting according to the situation in the comics, it will be a little dangerous."

Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Seeing that it was Gao Chuanfeng calling, Gu Chen quickly pressed the answer button and clicked on the hands-free status.

"Gu Chen, Yuan Jialiang's autopsy has been released. He died of cyanide poisoning."

"Cyanide poisoning?" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then asked Gao Chuanfeng: "Gao Chuanfeng, besides this, have you discovered anything else?"

"What's more, the strangle marks of the deceased Yuan Jialiang were strangled by the murderer after his death, thus creating an illusion that the deceased was strangled to death."

"But this is not a problem for our police investigation. It seems that the murderer took it for granted." Listening to Gao Chuanfeng's explanation on the phone, Police Officer Wang couldn't help but say it.

Gao Chuanfeng on the other end of the phone said: "Yes, Police Officer Wang, for our professional forensic doctors, we can basically find the flaw quickly."

"But the murderer's doing this is obviously superfluous. In my opinion, it's just a trick to cover up the eyes."

"And judging from the gaps in the nails of the deceased, Yuan Jialiang did not have a fierce fight with the murderer before his death, and not only that, we also found some sleeping pill residues."

"It is obvious that the murderer mixed a large amount of sleeping pills and related cyanide into Yuan Jialiang's drinking water, and killed Yuan Jialiang without anyone noticing."

"Could it be Zhou Zheng?" Gu Chen suddenly thought of the hermit Zhou Zheng, who is still in police custody and ready to be investigated at any time, so he asked Gao Chuanfeng again:

"Gao Chuanfeng, what about the tableware I asked you to inspect later in the technical department? Did you find any residual substances?"

"There are." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Gao Chuanfeng immediately said: "During the testing process, my team found that there were cyanide residues and sleeping pill residues in a water cup."

"Obviously, the murderer used this water cup to give the deceased Yuan Jialiang a drink made from poisonous substances."

"This led to Yuan Jialiang's sudden death without any precaution."

"Really?" Hearing Gao Chuanfeng's words, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the murderer was becoming clearer and clearer.

"If you can sit and drink water and chat with Yuan Jialiang calmly, then you must have a better relationship with Yuan Jialiang."

"Looking at the entire Jiangnan City, Yuan Jialiang, as a foreigner, unless he has friends here, it is impossible to come here and find that wild grave accurately." Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei nodded silently: "This is exactly the same as our previous guess. Yuan Jialiang is here, and he obviously has acquaintances."

"Also, it was because of this acquaintance that I told Yuan Jialiang the location of the cemetery."

"And I can sit down and chat with Yuan Jialiang and drink tea. It's still in the restored ancient temple on the mountain. Except for Zhou Zheng, I really can't find another person."

"It's Zhou Zheng." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Police Officer Wang also slapped the table, angrily saying:

"We were all deceived by him. This guy, who looks innocent, is actually full of bad things."

"Before I was still thinking, if he knew the identity of our police after the murder, would he still guide us to his residence? Obviously not."

"But now it seems that he just took advantage of our police's mentality, so he guided us there, and then took him to the police station for interrogation."

"It is precisely because of this factor that he has always convinced our police that he is not the murderer."

"But now, the evidence is solid. The person who poisoned Yuan Jialiang used his Zhou Zheng's cup. So what else does he have to say?"

"Senior Brother Wang, calm down first." Seeing that Police Officer Wang was so excited, Gu Chen also reminded him.

After all, in Gu Chen's view, everything is possible before the doubts are solved and the conclusive evidence is not confirmed.

So Gu Chen also briefly explained to Gao Chuanfeng before hanging up the phone.

Looking at the hesitant people in front of him, Gu Chen said again: "Although the poisoned tableware belonged to Zhou Zheng, there is no guarantee that the person who poisoned it was Zhou Zheng."

"After all, Zhou Zheng at that time had already descended from the mountain. Although we can't confirm what he said, it doesn't mean that there is no such possibility."

Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Yuan Shasha also asked him curiously: "So Senior Brother Gu, you mean that the murderer may have sneaked into Zhou Zheng's residence after he left and communicated with Yuan Jialiang here?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said again: "There is another possibility that Zhou Zheng is familiar with this murderer, and the murderer may have the key to Zhou Zheng's residence."

"As for Zhou Zheng, when he found the deceased Yuan Jialiang lying in his room, he probably never thought that such a thing would happen."

"But at the same time, Zhou Zheng may have already guessed who the murderer is? But due to some reasons, he dare not say it, so he keeps saying that he is innocent, but he refuses to reveal who the murderer is?"

"Because, if the murderer is really not Zhou Zheng, maybe he also knows. Our police will clear him of suspicion sooner or later after investigation."

"But at the same time, there may be some interests between him and the murderer."

"Senior Brother Gu, according to your opinion, there may be other people living here besides Zhou Zheng in the ancient temple on this mountain? But they don't live here often, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly.

When Lu Weiwei heard this, she also thoughtfully said: "I also feel a little strange to hear what your brother Gu said. For example, Zhou Zheng didn't seem to care when we brought these tableware back to the technical department for inspection."

"But if it was Zhou Zheng who poisoned, he should know that there may be toxic substances left in these tableware, so he must dispose of all the tableware before leaving the scene, but Zhou Zheng didn't do that."

"In this way, when our police investigate, we may definitely find this key clue."

"That's right." Xu Feng couldn't sit still when he heard several people discussing here, and said, "This Zhou Zheng is not so stupid, is he?"

"If he killed him, then why did he take you to his residence for a visit when he knew you were police officers?"

"What's more, he put the corpse in his room, and put the teacup that poisoned Yuan Jialiang in the tableware pile."

"Although it has been cleaned, doesn't he know that forensic medicine can detect the residue?"

"If you don't even know this, then Zhou Zheng is too confident."

"It's hard to say now." Facing everyone's various discussions, Gu Chen shook his head, and then said:

"Perhaps we can find relevant clues in the comics of "Ghost King"?"

"After all, when we searched the cemetery on the mountain, we did find that the coffin in the cemetery was empty."

"But if the murderer is Zhou Zheng, why did he leave the picture of the ghost king on the side of the coffin? Isn't this a single move?"

"Moreover, within 200 meters of the coffin, we also found a piece of bamboo with a painting of the ghost king, which just shows that the murderer wanted to give us some clues to the police."

"Isn't it? We used this clue to find the source of the ghost king. It turned out to be the work of Master Xiao's daughter."

"Yes." Xu Feng nodded silently, and said in deep thought: "The murderer wants us the police to find the ghost king's trace. What is he trying to do so hard?"

"If it's Zhou Zheng, is he worthy of doing this? But if the murderer is Zhou Zheng, and he is now under the control of our police, then everything that happened next should have nothing to do with him."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Xu Feng said again: "Gu Chen, can you continue to explain the follow-up part of this comic?"

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and continued to explain based on what he explained to everyone before:

"Last time, the boy found out that the man in black who was trading with him was the outsider who was burned to death by the fire, and the passerby he killed under the control of the ghost king."

"Because the boy couldn't tell who these people were? He also suspected that they might be triplets."

"So, in order to prove his guess, the boy followed the man who was trading and confirmed the man's residence before returning to the village in a hurry."

"In the night, the boy started to sneak into the mountain with the tools in his hand and a flashlight in fear."

"This dark forest that once made me lose my way seems to be even more terrifying now."

"Just as the boy walked to the lost area before, a gloomy cool wind blew through the entire forest again."

"At the same time, the boy found countless transparent organisms, which began to float in the forest."

"They look weird, like elves, but their faces are extremely terrifying."

"The boy didn't dare to look at them directly, so he came to the grave where the passer-by was buried, put the flashlight away, and started digging."

"During the period, the boy felt that various ferocious beasts appeared around him, but the boy also knew very well that his soul had signed a contract with the ghost king, so these beasts could not hurt him, and the strong aura of the ghost king would help him Solve these problems yourself."

After a pause, Gu Chen took a deep breath and continued to explain: "Sure enough, when these ferocious-looking beasts passed by the boy, they seemed to feel the strong power emanating from the boy's body, so they were too afraid to move forward. "

"At the same time, the boy was also concentrating and finally dug the coffin."

Seeing that everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the picture to go to the next one, Gu Chen also paused for a moment, and then said:

"In the end, the boy used the tools in his hand to pry open the nailed coffin, and found the corpse, which was exactly the same as the man he had seen on the mobile phones of those merchants in the small town."

"It's exactly the same as the man who wanted to make a deal with me."

"But at this time, the boy was in a difficult situation, because if the deceased was the one who was going to make a deal with the man in black, then how could the man in black not know that he was not the target of the deal?"

At this point in the explanation, Gu Chen also fell into deep confusion.

Repeatedly here again into a new endless loop.
