Doctor, you are so cold

Chapter 55 [Case 6] The Scarecrow

Yan Yunqidao thought for a while in his heart: "The emperor's order is hard to violate. Since everyone has come here, we must find a way to survive. If you disobey the emperor's order, you will die. This house is so big, even if the murderer hides, where can he hide?" ? Everyone needs to stay calm and try their best to cooperate with me to solve the case."

What he said made sense.

According to Yan Yunze's original intention, it was to kill these people directly to get rid of future troubles.In this current environment, his primary purpose is to ensure the safety of Nianzhi. These people must rely on their own strength to fend for themselves.

Both Shaoyan and Moyan had seen Yan Yunqi's ability, so they lowered their heads and remained silent.They had already understood the meaning of Yan Yun's words, and immediately felt that the situation was very serious.

Lin Wenjing couldn't hold back and cursed: "Although it was the emperor's order, we were also brought to the ruined temple by the prince. Now this is the situation. I don't know how the prince will explain to our father?"

Wan Zheng, the concubine of General Nanyao, said: "Brother Lin Xian, don't talk nonsense. The prince is a prison breaker, with a noble body, and he is acting on the emperor's orders. There must be unspeakable difficulties. We should cooperate."

Yan Yunzhi also said: "The matter has come to this, everyone should work together."

Lin Wenjing snorted coldly as he was alone and weak, so he couldn't say anything more.

Yan Yunqi looked at the sky: "It's already so late, I see that there are many individual rooms in the East and West Courtyard, everyone might as well have a room for each person and stay here temporarily."

In the letter in his arms, there are rooms arranged by Four Edges, seven bedrooms in the east courtyard and seven bedrooms in the west courtyard.There are thirteen of them now, and there is one more vacant room.

He knew that Four Blades was among the 12 people, and he didn't know where Nian Zhi was.Before he confirmed who Four Blades was and rescued Ning Wuxin, he dared not disobey Four Blades' arrangement.

Therefore, Yan Yunqi made some brief arrangements.This allocation is quite reasonable.Three civil officials and four military generals were arranged in the East Court; three civil officials and three military generals were arranged in the West Court.

After listening to the arrangement, everyone did not have much objection.

(Please see the room allocation map of "Readers Have Something to Say".)

Just as they were about to split up and tidy up in their own rooms, Li Shaoyan said, "Everyone has been hungry for a whole day, and they haven't eaten yet. Why don't you make a meal first, because you have to live."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Most people are descendants of aristocratic families, and there are servants serving at home, who knows how to cook?

Liu Hui hurriedly said: "The humble job can cook, why not let the humble job do it."

Yan Yunqi nodded in agreement: "After half an hour, everyone will have dinner together in the side hall." He then said to Liu Hui: "Do you still need help with cooking?"

Liu Huidao: "I went to the kitchen once just now, and I have everything I need. I don't need help for the time being."

Li Mo said, "I'll help you later."

Things were almost ordered, and the sky was already dark, and everyone went to their rooms to take care of themselves and rest.Liu Hui stayed in the kitchen in the small courtyard in the middle, preparing meals: "Humbler, go boil some water first, and let the adults quench their thirst."

Yan Yunqi saw that the crowd dispersed and had no time to go back to his room, so he walked towards the main hall.

It was already dark in the room, Yan Yunqi lit a candle, and then picked up the fourth villain on the left.According to Four Blades' letter, he has left a message for the next case, which is on the fourth villain from the left.

He picked up the villain, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

The fourth person is Liu Hui.

He then watched the villain carefully by candlelight, only to see that there was indeed a small strip of cloth protruding from his left shoulder.He pulled out the small cloth strip, and one end of the small cloth strip was still tightly sewn on the little man's body, and it was written in tiny Chinese characters.

The light was still too dim, Yan Yunqi couldn't help it, so he had to light another candlestick, and the brightness suddenly became stronger.

He held the little man close to the two candlesticks, and finally saw the eight characters vaguely.

【The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful with candles】

Then, the little man in his hand burst into flames.

Yan Yunqi was shocked, and quickly threw the villain on the ground, several big blisters had already been burned on his hands.

The villain did not touch the fire, why did it suddenly burn?

He didn't have time to think about this question, and his heart was flustered.

He already knew what would happen to Liu Hui.

Enduring the pain, he opened the door with a "hula". Then, there was a loud explosion-like noise in the kitchen in the yard, and the whole kitchen was engulfed in a raging fire.

Li Moyan, who was walking towards the kitchen, stared blankly at the situation in front of him that he hadn't expected at all.He and Yan Yunqi looked at each other, the latter's expression was already very serious.

When other people heard the loud noise, they also ran to the yard one after another, their faces full of shock.

In the dark night, the flames shot up into the sky, reflecting everyone's faces, giving people an indescribable sense of terror.

Yan Yunqi squinted his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable and discouraged.Four Blades' plan succeeded again, but he still had no clue.

Liu Hui must have been burned to death.

Of the thirteen people, only eleven remained.

——————————————————————————————————————

The kitchen was bombed, and everyone fetched water from the lake. It took half an hour to put out the fire, and Liu Hui's broken limbs and arms were picked up from the charred hut. They were all burnt, and the original appearance could not be seen at all. .

After putting Liu Hui's body in his coffin, everyone fell into depression.

The kitchen and the ingredients in it were all blown up. Fortunately, there was a small kitchen in the yard of Westinghouse, and some ingredients were also placed in it.This time, everyone didn't dare to be careless, and checked the kitchen carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, they asked several people to discuss and cook a meal in it.

There are also a lot of ingredients, including vegetables and meat.After a day of hunger and fear, everyone rushed to finish the food on the table even though the food was not very delicious.

Finally, after eating and drinking enough, everyone began to express their opinions one after another.

Lin Wenjing was the first to attack: "Just now I saw the prince hiding a letter in his arms, and I wanted to know what was written in it. Such a dead person, our lives are at stake, I have the right to know!"

This time, there were a lot fewer people who refuted him, Yang Ru also said: "My lord, why don't you let me know the whole thing. What does the emperor mean by calling us here?"

Feng Bai said: "My life belongs to the emperor, even if I die immediately, it would not be a pity. It's just that it looks like it's meant to torture people. I don't know what the purpose is?"

Yan Yun opened his mouth and didn't answer.That letter, when he saw that something was wrong just now, had already been thrown into the fire and burned, and now there is no evidence.If these people knew his real intentions, sooner or later they would gang up and kill themselves.

If you die, you lose everything.If he died, the dozen or so people here would definitely not be able to survive, and Four Blades won a complete victory.Moreover, before he died, Four Blades would kill Ning Wuxin with his own hands in front of his eyes and show him.

You can't take this risk yourself.No matter what, he will have to stand up until he pulls out the four blades.

Yan Yunqi said: "This king doesn't know the emperor's intentions. That letter is a letter from the murderer. He said that he wants to play a killing game with us. Look at these two cases, what can you see?" ?”

Li Shaoyan said: "The death of the Scarecrow seems to be the same as that of the corpse."

"That's right," Yan Yunqi said, "The murderer is extremely arrogant. Before killing someone, he must make an announcement. Everyone must always pay attention to the situation of the straw man."

Yan Yunzhi said: "Who is the murderer? Could it be that 'mysterious and hospitable host'? Where is he hiding?"

Yan Yunqi said: "It's hard to say. The murderer... may be among us."

He didn't want to talk to death.As a person who didn't know beforehand, he shouldn't know that the murderer was among these eleven people.

Everyone was silent.

Li Moyan said: "In this way, no one can trust it."

Sun Yi looked at the crowd and whispered, "Have you checked the door of your room?"

Everyone looked at him together: "?"

"Didn't see it?" Sun Yidao was a little dazed, "That door can't be locked. It can't be locked from the inside, but can only be locked from the outside."

Several people immediately jumped up like a frying pan.

They hadn't been in the room for a while before they heard an explosion, and then they came out to fight the fire, and they didn't even look at their room carefully.

Lin Wenjing yelled angrily: "Can't lock it? Doesn't that mean you have to be slaughtered when you sleep at night?"

Yan Yunqi hurriedly said: "Don't panic, everyone first go back to their own rooms to see if they can be locked, and then make a reservation." He also instructed: "Let's go together, don't leave alone."

Everyone agreed, and hurried back to their room to check.

Yan Yunqi also followed the crowd to his room.As soon as he entered, he felt that the whole room was very strange.The room was not too big and had no furniture except a bed.The window faced the lake in the courtyard. The window was not big, and a few iron bars were used as window edges, which almost felt like a prison cell.

Moreover, that door really cannot be locked from the inside.There was a lock outside, with a key in it.

Yan Yunqi frowned, if this continues, do people have to take turns to watch the night?Then how to ensure that the night watchman will not kill people?

Everyone came to the main hall in the middle courtyard again, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing and dull, but with a sense of anxiety.

Wei Qingchi said: "The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light. If you can't lock the door at night, it's really worrying."

Peng Zhaodao: "There is nothing in the room except a bed, and you can't even block the door. What should I do?"

Li Shaoyan said: "It's really not possible, we can only arrange people to take turns to watch the night."

Lin Wenjing said: "Who can guarantee the safety of the night watchmen? Besides, what if the night watchmen kill people?"

Feng Can said, "What if we all sleep together?"

Feng Bai immediately said: "No one can believe it now, you dare to sleep with someone?!"

Everyone spoke one after another, and the discussions continued, but they couldn't make a decision.

Wan Zheng asked Yan Yunqi, "What did the lord say?"

Yan Yunqi was carefully observing the structure of the main hall with a candlestick, feeling heavy in his heart.He already had a method, but he felt that if he really used this method, he would be in the middle of the four swords.

In the house of Four Blades, everyone's bedrooms cannot be locked, just to force Yan Yunqi to think of this method.

In his heart at this moment, he felt that Four Blades had created a big net to cover himself, and he couldn't escape no matter what.However, if he doesn't use this method, I'm afraid these people will die faster.

He walked back to sit at the round table in the silence of the crowd, fingered the last straw figurine lightly, bowed his head and said, "There is a way to make everyone sleep more peacefully."

Everyone looked at him together, waiting for him to continue.

Yan Yunqi said: "In this main hall, there is a small room. It is no problem to stay alone in it. This small room can be locked from the inside."
