Soon, everyone in Siyi Hospital was gathered outside a side hall, waiting for Zhao Xueer's "interview". These people entered the side hall one by one, and were only asked a few questions, such as before ten o'clock last night
Where? With whom? Who can testify?
After a round of questioning, 34 of the 45 people were able to prove to each other that in Siyi Courtyard last night, only 11 people claimed to be sleeping in their own rooms. Zhao Xueer did not believe the "self-proclaimed" words, saying that they were sleeping in their own rooms.
In the room, only the devil knew whether they were really there. So, she directly kept these guys who claimed to be there.
These eleven people included Liu Wan, and Liu Wan insisted that she was a little dizzy, so she went to bed early. In her sleep, she dreamed of Mrs. Wan, and even guessed that the room she lived in was where Miss Wei'er had lived before.
Yes, Miss Wei'er came back to life and revisited her for a long time, meeting her in a dream.
After listening to Liu Wan's nonsense, Zhao Xueer didn't bother to expose her. She just kept the eleven people without circumstantial evidence and said that there was another test. If they passed the test, they could become Wan Lei's psychological "counselor"
In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, Zhao Xueer also promised that if anyone can make Wan Lei open his heart, he will give one thousand taels of silver as a reward.
As soon as they heard that there were a thousand taels of silver available, those who had not been left behind were all excited and expressed that they also wanted to take part in the test. However, Zhao Xueer disagreed and just said: You were all with others last night, it is impossible to see each other.
When I saw something I shouldn't have seen, I sent these people away.
Of course, the so-called saying that a single person can easily see ghosts is pure nonsense. It is only true that ghosts arise from suspicion. In Zhao Xueer's view, these eleven self-proclaimed guys are all suspects, and they need to be questioned one by one.
How could these people who were sent away know this? They were very dissatisfied, but they also felt that Zhao Xueer was right. After all, there were others around him last night, and there would be far fewer flaws if one person lied than if two people lied together.
The only blame I can blame is that I didn't go back to the room early to sleep, so I couldn't "dream" with Mrs. Wan. It's a pity that this person missed a thousand taels of silver without going to bed early.
Zhao Xueer naturally guessed what was going on in these people's minds, and her face remained expressionless. She smiled from the bottom of her heart, laughing at how easy it was for these people to be deceived. And Zhao Xueer glanced back and forth at these people who claimed to go to bed early, her eyes always on
Liu Wan looked at him.
In fact, before coming to Siyiyuan, Wan Lei felt that there was something wrong with Liu Wan and asked Zhao Xueer to focus on her. The reason is very simple. Siyiyuan was originally the activity point of Mrs. Liu and her group in Peking, and they appeared here.
The "night walkers" are probably from Mrs. Liu's group, and Liu Wan is the most suspect because she knows martial arts and is someone who dares to sneak around at night.
Of course, Wan Lei doesn't want an 80% possibility, he wants a 100% certainty, so he asked Zhao Xueer to come to Siyiyuan and use the elimination method to eliminate others. If only Liu Wan is left in the end, he will secretly send more
The people were staring at her, hoping to find all Mrs. Liu's informants in Beiping City through her. If Fu Wei was in their hands, it would be easy to find them and then kill them all; if not, they could put them aside first and find others.
clue.
And Wan Lei vaguely felt that Fu Wei was very likely to fall into the hands of Mrs. Liu and his gang. Even if they hadn't taken the hijacking, the arson case was probably done by them. Otherwise, how could the Jin Yiwei be left at the scene?
Embroidered Spring Knife. Because the Jin Yiwei wanted to set up a suspicious formation, they would not leave the knife at the scene.
The so-called Xiuchun Dao is the standard weapon of Jinyiwei. The steel quality is very good and extremely sharp. The higher the status of Jinyiwei, the purer the material of the Xiuchun Dao and the more sophisticated casting process. It can be said that Xiuchun Dao is
The symbol of Jinyiwei's status is that the knife is with the person. Unless they die, they will not leave the knife easily.
And leaving a knife at the fire scene means that the owner of the knife is either dead or robbed. Judging from the fake fire scene, the possibility of Jin Yiwei's internal coaxing is very small. The most likely thing is that
Someone was behind him. But the person who attacked Jin Yiwei at this juncture was definitely not a vendetta, but more like a purposeful frame-up.
If it is really a frame-up, it will not be a good thing for both the Peking Army and the Ming court, because if the Peiping Army and the court really fight over this matter, both sides will lose. The one who is most likely to benefit is Mrs. Liu and her group.
They can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits of the fishermen.
Of course, the Yan rebels in Liaodong and the Mongols on the Mongolian Plateau were also happy to see this happen. After all, the chaos in the Central Plains gave them the opportunity to go south. Therefore, before finding Fu Wei himself, Wan Lei strictly forbade Zhao Xueer not to act in vain.
Move to avoid making an inaccurate judgment and alerting the enemy.
Although Zhao Xueer has little scheming, she is not stupid. Wan Lei gave her a trick to pretend to be a ghost, and she immediately understood it. She openly came to find an expert to be Wan Lei's "psychological counselor", but secretly, Zhang Yan had already
Taking advantage of the fact that these people were gathered in the side hall and no one was paying attention, he secretly walked into Siyi Courtyard and went straight to Liu Wan's room to conduct a secret search.
In order to buy more time for Zhang Yan, Zhao Xueer deliberately kept Liu Wan and other eleven people and asked them to demonstrate their eloquence one by one. After all, they were to be "psychological counselors" and they had to be good at eloquence. This lie
You also have to say it roundly enough.
In fact, the real purpose of this move was to test the ability of these eleven people to express panic. Because Wan Lei told her that as a qualified agent, it doesn't matter if you don't know martial arts. The key is that the ability to express panic must reach the level of perfection. If you continue to
I don't know how to make up lies, how to gather information, and how to perform various tasks.
Through this self-eloquence display that lasted for more than an hour, Zhao Xueer eliminated seven people at once, because these seven people were full of loopholes when they spoke. They were not the material to be spies at all. Even if there were spies among these people, they were still cannon fodder.
Yeah, there's no point in finding it out.
After sending away these seven people who could not panic, only four women were left to enter the final round of screening. Of course, Zhao Xueer also knew that people who are good at talking and lying are not necessarily spies. After all, the people in Siyi Hospital
Most of them make a living by selling jokes, and have long since developed the ability to talk to people and tell ghosts. The final round of screening is to throw out these amateur liars who are not agents.
"Sister Xue'er, time is tight, hurry up and do the final round of screening." Seeing that the sun was shining high, Liu Wan became a little anxious.
"No hurry, no rush, let's take a rest first and make some mental preparations." Zhao Xueer drank a cup of tea, squinted and saw a white ribbon tied on a big tree not far from the window. She couldn't help but feel happy, because it was
Zhang Yan made an appointment with her in a secret code and tied a white ribbon on the tree, which meant that Zhang Yan had found what she wanted to find and escaped unscathed.
When it comes to the ability to lurk, Zhao Xueer is really not as good as Zhang Yan. Because Zhang Yan has been disfigured since she was a child and has been living in hiding. She was unable to support herself when she was a child, so she often sneaked into other people's kitchens.
He has developed the ability to uncover the roof of a house.
Many people have said that the best teacher is interest. In fact, in this world, the best teacher is survival. In order to have a bite to eat, a very hungry person can learn to go to the house, learn to steal, and even
Learn how the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out...
Later, the Sunchon Mansion changed its land and gave residents not only food but also houses, so Zhang Yan no longer had to live in hiding. Later, she got jobs making candles and weaving, so she had a job and no longer had a stable life.
She's a liar who doesn't have enough to eat. Even so, she still hasn't forgotten all her past abilities.
Now that Zhang Yan had escaped, there was no need for Zhao Xueer to delay any longer. He immediately led the four people out of Siyiyuan and came to a dilapidated small woodshed. This small woodshed may have had a fire before, and the surroundings were dark.
It was so humid that a few rays of sunlight shone through the broken tiles, making it even more humid and eerie. People standing outside felt the wind blowing inside, and some even shivered unconsciously.
The reaction of these people was naturally seen in Zhao Xueer's eyes. The reason why she brought these people to this "ghost" place was to test their courage. You know, the spy dared to walk around at night, so he was naturally not afraid of ghosts.
If you are frightened when you go in, don't ask, it is definitely not a spy.
Of course, the reason why this woodshed is so spooky is that it has been specially treated. Some broken jars are placed inside. The broken jars contain some potassium nitrate. When these potassium nitrates are dissolved in water, they can absorb a large amount of heat and make the woodshed cool.
to create psychological terror.
And these are only secondary, the real test of one's courage is to enter it. No, Zhao Xueer asked these four people who were very eloquent to divide into groups of two and enter in groups.
The first group of people were two old women in their twenties. They looked outside the woodshed for a while, and then looked at each other for a while, seemingly cheering each other on, before finally making up their minds to walk in. And they had just
After a few steps in, there was a scream: "Ghost, ghost, ghost!"
Before the screams subsided, they rushed out in despair, and ran more than ten meters away without stopping. They looked really frightened. Liu Wan, who was watching from the side, saw him and a companion beside him.
They looked at each other and smiled, because everyone who should be eliminated has been eliminated, and the only ones left are their own people.
"Sister Liu, do you dare to go in?" Zhao Xueer asked knowingly. She had fought against the other party before. They were both practicing martial artists, so they were naturally very courageous and did not shy away from ghosts and gods.
"Haha, as long as sister Xue'er really pays her a thousand taels of silver, she won't be afraid of entering a small dark room, going up a mountain of knives or into a sea of fire." Liu Wan smiled slightly and pulled her companion into it.
Liu Wan had just taken a few steps in when he saw a ferocious face. Under a beam of sunlight, he looked extremely terrifying...
