Chapter 1762 The Wisdom Of Numbers

Chapter 1762 The Wisdom Of Numbers

Everyone inside and outside the room felt much more relaxed, because they felt that the four cases were almost solved, and there was no need for them to be afraid of the unknown.

"Haha, brother, it seems like we need to get to know each other again. Your thoughts are clear. Although these kinds of cases are not complicated, they happened at the same time, but you were able to solve these cases quickly and repeatedly without your knowledge. Could it be that brother used to be a policeman?"

Li Xiangdong arrived beside Qin An and warmly grabbed his hand.

At this moment, Qin An frowned tightly and his expression was exceptionally gloomy, ignoring Li Xiangdong's warm greeting.

Although his super hearing was much worse now, Qin An had still figured out what should have happened before he fell asleep last night.

At least he knew, Last night, there were 382 people following him in the entire building. If nine living patients were transferred and killed after he fell asleep, along with Vice Principal Guo, Zhao Zida and the nurse, there should still be 370 people left in the building. But now, Qin An quickly counted them and found that there were 379 people left alive!

In other words, only Vice Principal Guo, Zhao Zida, and the nurse were dead, and the other nine patients were still alive! They weren't hiding in a corner, but living in the crowd, which was a bit creepy. Could it be that these nine patients are the culprits? Where are they? What do they want to do?

It was really illogical. If they wanted to hide for some reason, they didn't need to shed their shells at all. As patients, they would be able to hide well. There was no need to get some more dead people to swap for him. It didn't make any sense.

Last night, Qin An had noticed almost everyone's appearance in order to find Weng Die.

Because of the decline in his ability, Qin An only swept through it. After confirming that an unfamiliar face was not Weng Die, he went to take a look at the next one. He really did not have much idea about the appearance of all the people he saw. All he knew was that they were not Weng Die.

So where are these nine people now? Qin An felt that it was necessary to talk to Li Shaodong and ask him to find them.

At this time, Yan Yikuan was brought up. During the interrogation, he was frightened like a quail. Qin An observed him for a long time and felt that this matter was even more strange. If Yan Yikuan was not the murderer, then who killed Vice Principal Guo?

"Hmph, don't admit it? Let me tell you, this is an extraordinary time. Don't blame me for torturing you if you don't tell the truth!" Li Xiangdong's eyes glared with great momentum, and Yan Yikuan's entire body trembled from his stare.

Qin An hurriedly went up and pulled Li Xiangdong over, and then let him talk to him alone in the next room.

"Company Commander, there are actually still many doubts about this question. Yan Yikuan just needs to interrogate them slowly. I think the most important thing we need to do now is to find those nine patients. They were exchanged for corpses. Doesn't Company Commander want to know if they are alive or dead?"

Qin An came straight to the point and raised his doubts.

'"Mm… I guess he died? I just asked someone else. These nine people are all terminally ill, so no one usually cares about them. It's really pitiful. It's possible to throw them into the water after being taken away."

"Company Commander, do you think it's impossible for them to still be among us?"

"How is this possible? Could it be that they replaced themselves with corpses? Why? Is this necessary?"

"No matter what, does the company commander know how many people are still alive in this building?"

"This is a statistic. Originally there were 373 people, but now there are 3 dead, 9 missing, and 361 more. Of course, excluding you newcomers. If the 9 patients are still in the building, then there should be 370 people."

What?

It was originally 373 people, but it wasn't the 382 people he had noticed when he first arrived?

But there are still 379 living people in the building right now!

If it was originally 373, after the death of the nurse, Prophet Guo, and Zhao Zida, there would be 370 people left. This was under the premise that nine patients were still alive, then the maximum number would be 370. How could it be 379? Does that mean that nine people entered the building just before they arrived here? Li Xiangdong didn't know?

Nine newcomers are not nine patients? But nine patients did turn into corpses.

Li Xiangdong believed that the 373 people had become 382 because there were nine more people in the building, and now there were 379 people in the building, along with the dead Zhao Zida, Prophet Guo and the nurse, who happened to be 382.

The problem was even more complicated. Nine patients were still alive, but there were nine more corpses and nine new arrivals. So where are the nine patients and the nine newcomers? What's the connection? This is really a headache!

'"Commander Li, I think so. It can't be said that Yan Yikuan has a problem. After all, several people have died. Everyone in the building is suspicious. I think we should thoroughly investigate, calculate the number of people on each floor, and see if there are any changes in the personnel. After that, everyone has to investigate."

Qin An put forward his own solution. Although the matter was complicated, it was still simple to deal with. Whether it was nine new arrivals or nine patients still living in the crowd, it was good as long as they were found. Asking Li Xiangdong to count the number of people and people, he would definitely be able to do this.

Li Xiangdong still admired Qin An a little. Looking at his doubtful expression, although he couldn't understand what he was worried about, he still sent people to investigate thoroughly.

An hour later, Li Xiangdong was also dumbfounded when the results of the thorough investigation came back.

The nine missing patients were found and secretly placed in different rooms. They did not know what had happened and seemed to have slept soundly last night. After being examined by a doctor, they found needle holes in their arms, indicating that they had been injected with drugs such as anesthesia. Only after counting did Li Xiangdong know that there were still 379 people in this building. This was really a ghost. At the beginning, there were only 373 people. Now that three people had died and nine patients had been found, throwing out Qin An's few newcomers, there should still be 370 people left. How did it become 379? Who are the nine extra people?

Helplessly, Li Xiangdong could only send someone to investigate thoroughly again. The total number of people 373 was calculated when the flood broke out and people were trapped. After a morning of confirmation, the result was that no one had any problems. After the flood broke out, these people were in the building. There were always a few people who could prove to each other that this was truly a ghost. There were nine more people alive but no one knew who they were!

Because the entire building was filled with people, the news was spread out. Everyone knew about such a bizarre event, so they all became panicked.

Seeing that Qin An didn't seem to have any ideas, Li Xiangdong called some people over to study together, wanting to pool their brains and see who could solve the mystery.

At this time, Liu Xia and the others returned to Qin An's side. After learning about this kind of incident, they also felt that it was strange. They began to ponder, but could not find out the truth of the mystery.

"Qin An, isn't that scary?"

Liu Xia whispered to Qin An. In fact, she was afraid, so she spoke to Qin An. This could be considered a kind of comfort to herself.

Qin An had always been the backbone. Although Liu Xia's initial impression of Qin An was not good, she had to admit this and knew where to get comfort from Qin An.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. There won't be any ghosts."

"Then why are there nine more people out of thin air?"

"Yeah, how could it be out of thin air…"

Qin An suddenly stopped and asked Li Xiangdong, "Company Commander Li, who gave you the statistics and told you the total number of people in the building was 373?"

"Ah … she's a nurse. At that time, I asked her to help me with this. Her name is Li Doulan."

Qin An's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect it to be this woman!

"Haha, what a coincidence!"

"What? Brother knows this person?"

"I don't know… Company Commander Li, can you call this person over?"

Li Xiangdong did not understand what Qin An meant, but he still followed his request and sent someone to bring Li Doulan over.

When Li Doulan appeared, there were many people in the room. She seemed to be a little nervous.

Qin An stared at her with a bright gaze. After a long time, he smiled and said,

"Li Doulan, was it your initial count? Tell Company Commander Li that there are 373 people in this building?"

"Yes, yes."

"You're lying. I think the real number of people in this building should be 382, right? You've underreported 9 people, haven't you?"

Hearing Qin An's question, Li Doulan's face turned pale and his body started to tremble.

Her actions immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone understood! That's right, it's very likely that there weren't nine more people out of thin air. It's just that the source of the number of people in the building was wrong at the beginning!

Heavens! How miraculous! How did this Qin An's head grow? How could he figure out the crux of the problem?

The most depressing thing was that the crux of the problem was actually not complicated, but it was impossible for people to think of it in the face of complicated reality.

Qin An's smile became even brighter. He looked at Li Doulan and said word by word, "Ha, then this nurse, I have other questions for you. Did you go to the kitchen this morning to look for Yan Yikuan?"

This question could not be concealed, because Yan Yikuan had just explained this matter.

"Um… I want to secretly order something to eat."

'"Perhaps that's not the case, isn't it? The purpose of your visit should be to observe whether Master Yan brought breakfast to the Vice Principal and whether the private dish of salted chili pepper belonging to the Vice Principal was taken away because you put enough deadly poison in it! Is that right? So you killed Vice Principal Guo Prophet!"

"I… It's not me, I'm not!" Li Doulan looked flustered and excited.

"You don't? It's you! You put poison in the salty chili pepper and ran over to confirm it early in the morning. After learning that the salty chili pepper had been taken away by Director Guo's student, you were relieved! Hmph, you also switched the nine corpses, didn't you? What was the purpose? Making chaos so no one knows what you're doing? Only you know that the real number of people in the building is 382, but Company Commander Li thinks it's 373! If Prophet Guo, Little Nurse, and Zhao Zida hadn't died, the total number of people would have been 391. There would have been 18 more people, 9 more dead, and 9 more alive! Of course, this was enough to attract everyone's curiosity. In the end, they would ignore Prophet Guo. At the very least, people's minds would be completely confused, and they would not be able to find out who you really are! But how do you transfer nine patients on your own? How did he get nine corpses? You must have a helper, and this helper can help you avoid the sentry… So, is this a form of self-stealing? Company Commander Li, who was the sentry on this floor last night? "

'"It's Zhao Zida" Li Xiangdong's train of thought hadn't changed at all.

"This is even more interesting. Zhao Zida committed suicide because he accidentally killed a living person. But last night, he was on guard here. You smuggled nine living people and nine dead people in and out, yet he didn't notice? This is simply impossible. In other words, Zhao Zida was your accomplice for some reason! I'm curious, why? A kind and pure-hearted man who committed suicide this morning and helped you transfer patients and corpses yesterday, why would he help you without asking for anything in return? Could it be the same reason he jumped off the building? He jumped down to atone for his sins, so was he helping you to atone for your sins? If the two are connected, does the girl he accidentally killed have anything to do with you? "

Qin An's thoughts were rapidly circulating. In fact, all of the things he had said were speculations. There was no basis for it. He just chose the one with the greatest possibility from many of his thoughts.

After he said those words, Li Doulan, who was already uneasy, completely collapsed.

"He deserved to die! He killed my sister! My own sister! He killed her as a zombie! He deserved to die!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked!

What shocked them was not the fact that Li Doulan was the murderer, but that Qin An's deduction was too powerful, right? How could he come up with the truth without any basis?

Naturally, Qin An was not without foundation. His Heaven Scrying Spiritual Sense could obtain a lot of information. If he were to synthesize this information and analyze and guess, it would naturally be easier for him to obtain the truth of the matter.

Li Xiangdong was very excited. He called someone over to clear the place. He only left a few people on Qin An's side to start interrogating Li Doulan. This time, it was very good. It didn't take long for him to get all the facts.

It turned out that Li Doulan used to be Prophet Guo's mistress. Later on, he was overjoyed with the new and weary of the old. After he had Liu Aina, he ignored her.

Li Doulan had always harbored hatred in his heart, so he poisoned Li Xiangdong and killed him.

The girl Zhao Zida killed was called Li Douyuan, Li Doulan was Li Doulan's younger sister. Li Doulan watched as her younger sister was killed. At that time, she was hiding in a nearby room. The moment she saw her younger sister being shot through the window, she was filled with hatred for Zhao Zida. Later, she found Zhao Zida, which showed that Zhao Zida was extremely guilty. After that, he became depressed and chose to commit suicide. Then the little nurse's death was really accidental. Just as Qin An had guessed, she was scared to death because she saw the nine corpses placed in a row. The nine corpses were indeed used to distract people's attention. In such a trapped situation, as long as people's hearts were in chaos, no one would doubt a little nurse like her. It was a coincidence that nine bodies were moved because there were only nine people in the empty room. At first, Li Doulan had made a mistake when she counted the number of people on each floor. She added up the number of people on each floor and got the number of 373 for the first time, so she told Li Xiangdong. Later, Li Doulan recalculated the number of people in the building once again, only to discover that the real number of people in the building was 382! This kind of mistake was harmless, and Li Doulan felt that it was embarrassing to calculate the wrong number. At that time, he did not tell Li Xiangdong the true number.

This seamless plan had almost come to an end, but a Qin An had appeared, allowing her to be captured in the end.

'"Aiyaya, this is really like a TV show! I admire it! Brother Qin, you have to teach me well in the future. Your meticulous thinking is really watertight. We all thought that Yan Yikuan was the murderer, but you actually reversed his case and found out the real culprit. This is simply Bao Qingtian's life!"

Qin An had been leaning against the table. After everything seemed to have settled, he felt that the matter had not been settled yet.

Li Doulan's killing plan was actually very complicated and ingenious.

The first was that she had poisoned the salty chili pepper. This was an assassination specifically aimed at Prophet Guo. It was very targeted and smart. This kind of especially spicy pepper must not be eaten by many people, so it can avoid accidentally killing others.

Also, Zhao Zida felt ashamed and committed suicide through contact. He needed wisdom to guide Zhao Zida's heart to a dead end.

There was also the matter of obtaining nine corpses. If he hadn't appeared and seen everything, it would have been a complete mystery.

A person with such a scheming mind must be extremely intelligent, but looking at Li Doulan in front of him, he almost confessed without much interrogation. How could this be? This was very different from her performance, which made Qin An somewhat unacceptable.

After exchanging a few words with Li Xiangdong, Qin An turned his gaze back to Li Doulan.

At this moment, she was sitting on a chair, looking as if she was dumbfounded, her face filled with despair.

Kill!

She had never killed anyone before, so she would naturally be afraid. After all, the apocalypse had just erupted, and the concept of a murderer paying for his life was still deeply rooted in her heart.

Qin An looked at her for a while and suddenly said, "At the beginning, I asked you if Prophet Guo was killed by you. You shouted excitedly," No, not you! " Your expression tells me something. I don't think you're trying to argue. Perhaps at that time, you really thought that the murderer wasn't yourself! But then when you were interrogated, you broke down and admitted everything. I have some doubts about your performance. Li Doulan, did you really explain everything? "

"Haha, what's the difference? I did kill someone. Anyway, I have to pay with my life. You guys can do whatever you want. I don't care anymore."
