And among them, there is someone who shouldn't be here.
Granny Sang.
Granny Sang was tied up with hemp ropes and thrown to the ground. She looked dazed and her eyes were cloudy. She kept muttering, "I'm here to collect the bodies. I'm here to collect the bodies."
"You've collected so many bodies, but why is my baby not included?"
"Baoer, where are you?"
The other players stared at Granny Sang warily, their faces filled with anger.
"This NPC is sneaky, there must be something wrong!"
"Fuck, I almost died from peeing just now."
"This ghost thing is talking nonsense all day long and has a dead face. I think there must be something wrong!"
"Two female players died when she arrived. Could it be that she killed them?"
"It's very likely that she is the only female NPC in the village. Isn't that strange?"
"She must know something!"
"But apart from the word 'Bao Er', I can't ask anything else!"
Baili Xin glanced at Liang Xi, and then received a private message.
[Friend Liang Xi applied to establish a discussion group. Agree/Reject]
Baili Xin clicked [Agree], and a discussion group suddenly appeared in the chat window. There were four people in the discussion group including him.
Liang Xi, Baili Xin, Zhou Guang and Xia Chi.
Liang Xi: Let me explain the situation. You have also received the system prompt, two more people died just now, they are the two female players with fever, Li Cancan is still alive.
The thin man just went out to urinate, and when he looked up he saw Granny Sang standing in front of him, which scared him.
Maybe everyone was almost driven crazy by this game, so they tied up Granny Sang in anger. I heard the noise and thought someone was injured, so I rushed over. Zhou Guang was still taking care of Li Cancan.
Xia Chi didn't say anything, but his forbearing expression betrayed him.
They were still alive when they left, but two people were dead when they came back.
If it could be faster, maybe...
Baili Xin: Granny Sang came here to collect the bodies
Liang Xi: Yes, that charity cemetery was run by her family, and she was the one who fished out all the bodies floating in the river.
Xia Chi stuffed a cloth bag into Liang Xi's arms: The herbs are in here, go and save Sister Cancan.
Liang Xi took the herb and took a look at it, then exclaimed in surprise, "Yes, that's it. I'll go save people first!"
After saying that, he pushed the door and left without looking back.
Xia Chi seemed to remember something and was about to remind Liang Xi, but unexpectedly Liang Xi was faster and had already opened the door and walked out.
The next second, Liang Xi came back with a pale face.
He pointed at the yard with a look of horror on his face. His lips trembled and his voice trembled. "Outside, there is a monster from yesterday."
In an instant, all the insults disappeared.
The players who were furious just now were instantly filled with fear, and they no longer had time to care about Granny Sang. A few of them bravely walked to the door, peeped through the crack in the door, and saw a monster crawling on the ground.
From where they were, they could only see the monster's abdomen rising and falling. The monster was lying on its back, revealing its white belly.
"Why, why is there a monster here?"
"Aren't monsters supposed to be unable to go down the mountain?"
"Is this game a survival game? I want to go back, please let me go back!"
Xia Chi patted Liang Xi's shoulder soothingly and said with a dry smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Brother Xing and I brought this thing back from the mountain. We've knocked it out and tied it up. It won't be dangerous."
Xia Chi licked his lips and said, "We've already gone, so we can't make this trip in vain."
Everyone: “…”
Are these two planning to let the monsters have a buffet
The culprit, Baili Xin, took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention and quickly came to Grandma Sang and said something in her ear.
Granny Sang, with cloudy eyes, raised her head in surprise: "Really?"
Baili Xin nodded: "Yeah."
Granny Sang raised the corners of her mouth. It seemed as if her skin was separated from her flesh. The flesh was pulled up by her, and the skin still hung capriciously on top, forming a weird smile: "Hehe, okay, then it's settled."
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up from the ground.
When the other players heard the sound, they all turned around and watched in a daze as Granny Sang twisted a few times in the rope in an extremely twisted posture and easily broke free from the rope.
The nimble old lady walked to the window unscrupulously, opened it, climbed out and fell into the yard.
Maybe it was because of foot binding that her feet were very small, but the rapid rubbing of her feet on the ground made her small steps have the explosive effect of race walking.
Granny Sang rushed into a room at an extremely fast speed and came out again not long after.
When she came out, there were two stiff figures on her shoulders, one on each shoulder.
Each of these two figures was taller than her, but she carried them as easily as carrying two balls of cotton.
Before leaving, the old lady gave the unconscious monster a kick, then she blended into the darkness and disappeared.
In the darkness, Granny Sang's hoarse laughter could be heard faintly. "Three years to sacrifice the bride. Otherwise, there will be floods. Sacrifice, remember to prepare the sacrifice."
In the open room, there was Zhou Guang's dazed face.
The bald man glared at Baili Xin and said, "What did you just say to her?!"
Baili Xin ignored him, but strode to Liang Xi's side and grabbed Liang Xi's wrist, "Let's go, save Li Cancan."
Xia Chi quickly followed Baili Xin's steps: "Brother Xin, I'm going too!"
After the three people left one after another, everyone looked at each other.
One of the players spoke cautiously: "The sacrifice that the old woman mentioned just now, is it the female player? If the female player can survive..."
The player was only halfway through his words, but the other players already understood what he meant.
If the female player can survive, can she be sacrificed to the river god as a bride
Perhaps this is the real solution to this copy
Otherwise, why did they make the female players sick right at the beginning? And why did they tell them that there were herbs in the cave to reduce fever
Isn't such an obvious obstacle meant to tell them that saving the female player is equivalent to saving themselves
This game is not unsolvable, the rules remind them of that from the beginning.
Sacrificing a pure girl can appease the anger of the river god and prevent the flood!
Many people couldn't help but feel scared.
They were about to give up on these female players during the day, but luckily Baili Xin and the others did not give up.
If Baili Xin also gave up and these female players died, then they would really be finished!
The blacksmith's eyes were cold, "I was wondering why they care so much about the lives of these female players. I'm afraid they have already thought of this, but didn't tell us."
Bald: "That's impossible. What's the benefit of them keeping the news to themselves? If he tells us the news, wouldn't it be safer for us to go up the mountain together?"
Blacksmith: "Have you forgotten the rules of the game? Points are allocated based on performance ratings. They were the ones who went up the mountain to get the medicine, and they were the ones who saved people. They did all the good things, so their rating will definitely be higher than ours in the end. Even if they survive, they will eat the meat and we will drink the soup."
A player wearing glasses hesitated for a moment: "Don't you think that pretty boy named Baili Xin is weird? He stayed on the mountain for 20 hours by himself. The monsters chasing us had all left. Shouldn't a normal person get down the mountain immediately? Why did he stay there for so long?"
"And you see, I don't know what that pretty boy just said to Granny Sang secretly, and Granny Sang, the necrophile, ran away with the corpse. Did this pretty boy find the clue about Bao Er and trigger Granny Sang's plot line?"
The blacksmith gritted his teeth and said, "They never intended to play with us from the beginning."
Huang Mao glanced at the blacksmith and said, "Boss, didn't you say you had a solution? What is it?"
The blacksmith took a deep breath and said, "I only figured it out after seeing the time difference in the game after dark. The condition for passing the level is to sacrifice the female player. That's why I said that they must be able to bring the medicine back alive in order to complete this plan. But I didn't expect that the other party had already thought of this."
"Fuck, these bastards have been playing tricks on me since the beginning."
Huangmao's expression changed: "What should we do next? Have we reached a dead end?"
The blacksmith's voice became solemn. "It's just that the points they got were a little less. Since they saved the female player, they will definitely make sacrifices in order to survive. Don't worry, we will be fine this way."
The thin man slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, the boss is right."
…
In the game live broadcast room.
Damn, this is the first time I’ve seen someone talk about “picking up a bargain” in such a high-sounding way.
This is also the first time I have seen such a shameless person.
If Baili Xin hadn't attracted all the red spiders last night, would you still be alive to go down the mountain? Funny. Still questioning why Baili Xin didn't go down the mountain, nonsense, because your Baili father is making you hate him, idiots.
They are the ones who are the worst at everything and the biggest drag! They were the ones who refused to go up the mountain, and now they are the ones who are putting the blame on others.
By the way, why were those monsters afraid of Baili Xin on the mountain just now
I don't know, maybe they were afraid of the herbs? We also picked herbs at that time, but we did it during the day and didn't encounter any monsters.
Old contestant, what's in that cave
There was just a round hole with some herbs growing in it and some crystals on the wall, nothing else.
Have you solved the additional questions
Our group was quite united, and we worked together to find all the clues we needed to find, and we talked to all the NPCs. But we only solved 70 puzzles, and the remaining 30 puzzles could not be solved no matter what.
Why am I, a person watching the live broadcast, more nervous than when I was trying the level myself
Me too, it's so exciting. Yesterday was the first time I saw someone being so cool while being chased by so many Red Spiders.
…
At the other end of the room, Liang Xi quickly mashed the herbs into a paste. He wrapped the paste in gauze and squeezed the juice into a small bowl.
After a while, the small bowl was filled with half a bowl of dark green juice.
Because Li Cancan had fainted from the fever and couldn't drink any water, Liang Xi could only pry open her mouth with his hands and carefully put the herbs into her throat little by little with chopsticks.
There was not much medicine left, and Liang Xi was afraid of wasting it, so he applied the medicine very slowly.
It took Liang Xi half an hour to feed half a bowl of herbs.
Baili Xin watched carefully from the side.
Not long after feeding the medicine, the blush on Li Cancan's face began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Liang Xi quickly felt her forehead for temperature, and after confirming that the fever had subsided, he heaved a long sigh of relief and slumped on the ground, "Great, we made it in time, and finally saved her."
Zhou Guang said to Liang Xi, "You should get some sleep. You have been taking care of them since last night without any rest. You will be forced to work early tomorrow morning. You can't hold on."
Liang Xi's eyelids were already drooping. He rolled on the floor without taking off his clothes and fell into a nap.
Zhou Guang sat cross-legged on the floor when he saw this. "Baili Xin, what did you say to that Granny Sang just now?"
He had already recovered from the shock of the old lady. He was taking care of Li Cancan just now when Granny Sang suddenly rushed in like lightning, picked up the two bodies and ran away without saying a word.
Although others were not in the room, they knew roughly what happened through the group chat.
Liang Xi tried to open his eyes, but he had no strength left. He could only lie there and speak weakly: "I want to know, too."
Baili Xin: "It's nothing actually. I told her that I found Bao'er's whereabouts and asked her to come to us tomorrow afternoon."
"Let's exchange some information. There are two ways to solve this task. The first is to complete the sacrifice to the river god, and the second is to lift the river god's curse."
His voice was no longer lazy as before, but instead had a hint of coldness. "Obviously, sacrificing the bride is the easiest way. But you should all know what this means. I'll say this first. I'll choose the second option and lift the river god's curse. There's no special reason. I just don't like this game and don't want to be led by it."
"If any of you want to take the shortcut of sacrifice and choose to sacrifice one person to save the others, you can leave this room now."
His deep black pupils swept across everyone one by one, and everyone's expression changed. Even Liang Xi, who had just been invaded by sleepiness, became a little more awake.
Liang Xi: "I choose the second method. We rescued Li Cancan with great difficulty. How could we let her be sacrificed? I can't even bear to kill Mao Rongrong, okay?"
Zhou Guang: "Me too. I am a lawyer. In my opinion, human life is not only important, but also equally important. One life and countless lives are equivalent on both ends of the scale."
Xia Chi: "Need I ask? Of course I'll follow your choice. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be alive here. And you're so smart, you can definitely break the river god's curse."
After getting everyone's answers, Baili Xin continued, "If you want to lift the river god's curse, you must first know the truth about it. The additional tasks are the most important. How many of them have you completed?"
Zhou Guang looked around and said, "Let me speak first. I have completed 10. I got it during the daytime work through the chat with the NPC who supervised our work. Although it is a compulsory work, it will provide us with information."
"From their information, we learned that Bao Er was favored by the river god thirty years ago, so she was sacrificed to the river god as a bride. She was the first bride of the river god. Later, it was said that the river god was not satisfied with this bride, so there was a curse from the river god. A pure bride needs to be sacrificed every three years."
Xia Chi nodded: "Yes, I was also working in the fields at the time, and I got the same information as you."
Liang Xi: "I have also completed 10. My mandatory task is to see a doctor. Today during the day, several villager NPCs came to see a doctor, one of whom seemed to be Granny Sang's former neighbor. He heard that Bao'er is a famous beauty in the surrounding villages, but her behavior is not very decent. It seems that she has a lover, but it is unknown who the lover is."
Baili Xin looked at Liang Xi: "Wait a minute, do you have a pen and paper? I'll write it down."
Liang Xi's eyelids were a little heavy, but he still tried to point to a box, "Yes, there are brushes and rice paper for making medicine in it."
Baili Xin quickly took out paper and pen from where Liang Xi pointed, spread out the paper, held the brush in his right hand and began to record.
Several people looked over curiously. Baili Xinyubai's slender fingers were holding the wolf hair brush, and he wrote a line of words with a graceful movement of the brush.
The brush strokes are graceful, and the characters are like dragons and phoenixes, vigorous and free.
Xia Chi had studied calligraphy before, and he couldn't help but admire it when he saw it, "Brother, your calligraphy is amazing, master-level... no, even better than a master, it would be impossible to be like this without decades of practice. Brother, you are only a few years older than me, right? What surprises do you have?!"
Baili Xin laughed, "I am much older than you."
Mine is so big that you can’t imagine, kid.
In order to facilitate statistics, he did not write vertically as is customary in Chinese calligraphy, but chose to write horizontally.
1. Granny Sang is Baoer’s mother.
2. Baoer died 30 years ago and his tombstone is on the mountain.
3. Baoer was the first bride of the River God. She was sacrificed to the River God 30 years ago, but this aroused the anger of the River God.
4. Baoer has an unknown lover.
Baili Xin paused.
And wrote 5 again.
5. Baoer is very beautiful.
Everyone: “…”
If you really don’t know what to write, you can leave it blank for now.
Zhou Guang pointed to the second one and said, "Did you see this on the mountain just now?"
Xia Chi seemed to remember something. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and opened the photos he took in the evening.
"Luckily I brought my phone with me," Xia Chi tapped the touch screen twice and opened the photo album, "This is what I took at the time."
Liang Xi woke up completely. He and Zhou Guang came over to take a look and saw a small mound of earth and a tombstone.
Xia Chi's cell phone had only 1 bar of battery left, and it was glowing red, frantically suggesting that he charge it quickly.
But this remote village doesn’t even have a universal charger, let alone a data cable or charger. The only communication device is the landline at the entrance of the village, which has been shut down due to long-term arrears.
"My phone is running out of battery. If one of you has battery left, take a picture and save it. If you ever see Granny Sang, it can be used as evidence so she doesn't think we're lying to her."
Liang Xi and Zhou Guang took out their cell phones from their pockets.
Liang Xi looked at Xia Chi apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. I was so excited when I was going down the mountain that I jumped into the water and swam here. My phone got soaked in water."
Zhou Guang unlocked his phone: "I still have 50 volts of battery left, so I can still charge."
The signal on their cell phones was still "x", but now they no longer had the naive idea of finding a signal to call the police.
Fortunately, smartphones are fully functional. Although they have lost the ability to make calls, their other functions are sufficient.
Because Xia Chi’s phone might be turned off at any time, Zhou Guang gave up Bluetooth and directly chose the simplest and most brutal method.
Take photos from a distance.
He placed the camera on top of Xia Chi's phone and took two or three pictures. Because the picture on Xia Chi's phone was a little dark, Zhou Guang's phone automatically turned on the flash function.
There were three "click", "click", and "click" sounds, and the flash light flashed three times.
After taking the photo, Zhou Guang took it and looked at it carefully.
A system prompt suddenly sounded in Baili Xin's mind.
Ding! Congratulations to the player, the information exchange is complete. The truth of the river god's curse is completed: 30/100.
He glanced at the other people and found that their expressions paused for a second. It seemed that they all received the system prompt sound.
Xia Chi: "I'm 30."
Liang Xi: "Me too."
Zhou Guang casually replied while looking at the photos on his phone: "It seems that everyone is the same. The NPC should provide clues during the mandatory work tomorrow. Everyone should listen carefully. Baili Xin, your profession is a saint, which is different from ours. From what we can see now, the clues provided by different professions should be different. You should pay more attention tomorrow."
Baili Xin nodded: "Okay."
Liang Xi stood up and took a look at Li Cancan's condition. "Li Cancan's face is sweating a lot."
Baili Xin turned his head and saw Liang Xi picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off Li Cancan's face.
After he finished doing all this, he hesitantly said, supporting himself on the floor with his hands, "If different professions receive different clues, then do we need to provide clues to the players next door? I remember there is a blacksmith next door."
Xia Chi looked at Baili Xin with a conflicted expression: "Brother, what do you think?"
Zhou Guang said first: "Forget it. It's good enough that these people don't hold us back. Do you still want to get useful information from them?"
"I agree with Zhou Guang's opinion."
Baili Xin went over to check on Li Cancan's condition. Her breathing had calmed down and her expression was very peaceful. "I don't trust those people. I can lead them through the customs, but I refuse to let them become my comrades. I will not turn my back to those who are not trustworthy."
"I'll go get Li Cancan something to eat. She should be waking up soon." Zhou Guang stood up and walked to the door. "There are many ways to get information. We can also get information by chatting with the NPC who is supervising him. Otherwise, if the blacksmith died on the mountain, wouldn't the whole clue be lost? This doesn't make sense."
Liang Xi suddenly realized: "That's right."
Baili Xin watched Zhou Guang pull the door and walk out. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and turned to ask Liang Xi: "Doctor Liang, I remember you are a veterinarian."
Liang Xi didn't understand, but nodded, "Yes."
Baili Xin: "Then you must like furry very much."
Liang Xi's eyes gradually became gentle: "Of course, my favorite is Rua's furry hair."
Baili Xin patted Xia Chi on the shoulder.
Xia Chi turned his head in confusion: "???"
Baili Xin pointed to the yard and said, "Bring that furry little guy in."
Xia Chi: “?!”
Liang Xi was stunned for three seconds, then suddenly stood up from the ground.
Baili Xin smiled at Liang Xi: "It's furry, you can rub it~"
Liang Xi: “?!!!”
Fuck, I don’t like this kind of furry!
Are you guys the devil?! Can you just catch something this scary?!
Baili Xin: "I also caught one yesterday. I wanted to let it go to see where their nest is, but I didn't expect it to turn into blood when exposed to the sun. We must protect this one today and can't let it go bad again."
Liang Xi swallowed his saliva.
Caught one too? Turned into water? Protected? Broken
Listen, what kind of dangerous statement is this?!
Is this still something a human would say?!
Just when Liang Xi was almost stunned, Zhou Guang, who had just walked out, ran back in panic.
As soon as he came back, he slammed the door shut and thrust his phone directly in front of the three people, "Look, there's a figure here!"
Zhou Guang used a flash, and took the photos through an LCD screen, so the photos were not only reflective but also had many red and green pixel bars.
Once the flash and pixel bar are turned on, the generally black picture has an alternative clarity.
Zhou Guang had enlarged the photo. When the three of them looked over, they saw a blurry face hiding behind a tree.
Liang Xi stared at the face carefully for a while, "I have seen him before, he is the village chief of this Heshen Village!"
Only then did several people realize that the paper in front of them had disappeared.
First there was the joy of finding the signal, then the shock of Yang Hao's horrific death, and then he observed the corpse.
After this series of events, they all forgot that there was an answer sheet in front of them.
Zhou Guang quickly took a piece of white paper from Baili Xin's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you."
Baili Xin: "You're welcome."
After the remaining people had drawn a piece of white paper one after another, Baili Xin pulled out a few pens from the darkness and said with a smile, "There are more pens."
Everyone: “…”
Handsome guy, are you Doraemon
Where did this money come from
After several people got their pens, Zhou Guang asked again: "Do you really know who the murderer is?"
Baili Xin glanced at the rattan box. "The handprint on the deceased's neck is wide, and the neck was twisted and deformed. It would be impossible without a certain amount of strength. There is a certain proportional relationship between the hand and the height of the human body. It can be inferred that the murderer's height should be between 175 and 185 cm. Li Cancan can indeed be ruled out as a suspect."
Li Cancan's tense shoulders relaxed, but then stiffened again.
What’s the point of just eliminating suspicion
This ghost game requires you to give the correct answer. If you give the wrong answer, you will die. She is not out of danger yet!
"Mr. Shen just mentioned these," Zhou Guang paused, "Do you have any other discoveries?"
Baili Xin continued, "There are a few more discoveries. I found that the handprint on the victim's neck was heavier on the left hand and lighter on the right hand. The murderer should be left-handed."
Liang Xi, who had been silent the whole time, turned pale. "I, I am left-handed, but I really didn't kill the person! I just said that I am a veterinarian, and I was performing surgery just now!"
The other people were already on high alert. Zhou Guang asked sternly, "But you are the only left-handed person here. Who knows if you are a veterinarian?"
Shen Gu said: "No, there should be another person. I just noticed that Yang Hao was holding the phone outside the window with his left hand, so he should also be left-handed."
Liang Xi quickly replied: "Yes, yes, Mr. Shen is right, Yang Hao is also left-handed, the murderer must be him!"
Baili Xin: "There was indeed another left-handed person in the room, but it was not Yang Hao. Yang Hao was holding the phone with his left hand because he was holding the cigarette with his right hand. And he always used his right hand to take the phone or cigarette out of his pocket."
Liang Xi subconsciously stared at Baili Xin: "Who is the other person?"
Baili Xin swept his eyes across the crowd and finally landed in one direction, "It's Mr. Shen."
Everyone: “?!”
Li Cancan subconsciously refuted: "This is impossible. Mr. Shen said at the beginning that he was practicing calligraphy. The ink was on the cuff of his right hand, which means he was holding the brush with his right hand."
Xia Chi, who had only said one sentence, spoke for the second time tonight. "No, it's not certain. I also practice calligraphy, and you can't tell which hand holds the brush just by looking at the ink-stained cuffs. Because some people are used to raising their hands high to write, and some people are used to using their other hand to hold the cuff of the hand they write with tight, so both sleeves may be stained with ink."
"The location of the ink does not allow me to tell which cuff is at fault, but I'm not left-handed."
Shengudao dipped his right index finger in saliva and quickly wrote three big words on the table: Shengudao.
The handwriting is free and unrestrained, flowing like flowing water, and you can tell at first glance that the writer is right-handed.
Liang Xi was already very nervous after being labeled as a suspect. He looked at Baili Xin in panic, "Brother, you don't know anything at all, right? You are not the murderer, are you? You are deliberately making up stories to create panic and lead everyone to put the suspicion on me so that you can fish in troubled waters. I don't think the murderer is left-handed at all!"
"The body is right there. You can go and see for yourself if the murderer is left-handed or not." Baili Xin was not angry and continued, "Mr. Shen, are you really not left-handed? In the past ten minutes, you revealed that you are left-handed at least three times."
"The first time was when you first came here. At that time, you used your left hand to wipe the sweat off your face."
"The second time was when Yang Hao stood by the window and said he had found a clue. You first walked out with the cane in your left hand, and then switched to your right hand after walking a few steps."
"The third time was just now. I told you to take back your paper and pen when I found the murderer. You used your left hand twice."
"You can disguise your dominant hand normally, but when you are extremely nervous and your brain cannot think, you will unconsciously use your dominant hand."
"The first time was because of the fear of the unknown, the second time was because of the eagerness to survive, what about the third time?"
"Why did you get so excited that your brain lost its ability to think when I mentioned the murderer?"
Outside the window, a bolt of lightning struck.
The faint blue light just fell on Baili Xin's face, making his handsome face look unusually strange and enchanting.
Shen Gudao pursed his lips slightly, and his cloudy eyes looked at Baili Xin steadily. After a moment, he spoke: "Yes, I used to be left-handed. But because it was inconvenient for students to write on the blackboard with my left hand during class, I deliberately practiced using my right hand. I have been using my right hand for more than 30 years. I didn't expect you to observe so carefully. After so long, I even forgot that I was still left-handed in my bones."
"Do you suspect that I am the murderer? Don't forget, you just said that the murderer is a very strong person between 175-185cm tall. I am only 170cm tall, and I have Parkinson's disease. My hands don't have enough strength to do that kind of thing."
"Yes." Li Cancan shouted, "Anyone among us can be suspected, but Mr. Shen is the only one who should not be suspected. At his age, let alone breaking someone's neck, even if he pinches someone, he won't leave a mark, right?"
The sudden rain slammed against the glass, the wind was blowing hard, and it was eerie outside the window, but the hotel was extremely quiet.
In the silent silence, Baili Xin said something that made everyone shudder: "What if the murder happened thirty years ago?"
Baili Xin stood up and walked to the radio. "What made me suspicious at first was the information provided by the radio. In the last contact information, the family of the missing person left a landline number. And this landline number starts with a two-digit number '01'."
"If I remember correctly, the first batch of landlines in our country only had two-digit area codes, and it was not until the 1990s that they were changed to three-digit numbers."
Xia Chi thought for a moment and added, "In 1995, the country unified the landline area code to three digits."
Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Xia Chi coughed nervously and said, "I saw it when I was reviewing comprehensive knowledge for the college entrance examination."
Baili Xin continued, "The weaving method of the rattan box that contained the deceased was decades old, and the clothes and shoes on the deceased were all styles from more than 30 years ago. The building structure, lighting style, wiring structure, etc. of the hotel we are staying in are all antiques from decades ago."
"The deceased looked very young, only about 20 years old, which matched the age on the radio, indicating that the deceased's disappearance and death were very close in time."
"When we see a body that has not yet decayed appear here, we subconsciously think that the murder happened recently and ignore the time," Baili Xin walked to the body. Lightning fell behind him through the window, spreading a mysterious blue light. "But in fact, this is a case that happened at least thirty years ago."
"Everyone, how old were you thirty years ago?"
Everyone was shocked.
How old were they thirty years ago
Those born early are just wearing a urine ring, and those born late are not even an embryo!
Liang Xi's voice trembled a little, "Mr. Shen just said that his height was only 170 cm. But he is an old man now, and as the human body ages, the bones will also shrink. If he goes back 30 years ago, his height would be at least 175 cm."
Zhou Guang was suddenly shocked: "He has been leading us to doubt Yang Hao. It was his words that angered Yang Hao in the beginning. The rules of the game are that the person who gets the most votes and the person who fills in the wrong answer will be punished. If we all write Yang Hao in the end, he can write his own name with peace of mind. In this way, he has written the correct answer but is not the one who gets the most votes."
Li Cancan's scalp tingled: "And we will all die."
Everyone looked at Shengu Dao, disbelief in their eyes.
They were fooled by this guy from the very beginning!
Shengudao has always been the first group they exclude, and the elderly and children have always been the two groups of people that people are most likely to let down their guard.
They really couldn't imagine that a university professor with clear and gentle eyes would be a murderer. :,,
