Looking away, Gu Liang didn't say anything for the time being, but only glanced at Yang Ye.
Yang Ye's gaze just happened to turn away from Li Xiaoyu's.
Gu Liang and Yang Ye have been playing games together for so long, a tacit understanding has already been formed, and there is a certain kind of tacit understanding in the look at each other.
So neither of them said anything for the time being.
Yang Ye just looked at Wu Shengsheng and said, "Thank you for sharing your reasoning. It's not impossible. However, whether it's a conspiracy or a single crime, someone has to steal the key from me first. So it's still That question, is there a drug? If there is no drug, how did the murderer do it?"
"Also, I'd like to hear the timelines of the rest of the group."
"The three people in the first group who were the first to watch the night, can you share it now?"
The three people in the first group of vigil were Qian Huahua, Zhu Physics, and Wu Biology.
The speeches of these three people are actually very important.
For Gu Liang, Wu Shengsheng's speech on the first day was well done, but he had excluded him before.
In fact, he and Yang Ye had locked the real culprits on Qian Huahua and Zhu Physics yesterday.
In the final vote, Yang Ye voted for Qian Chemical, and Gu Liang voted for Zhu Physics.
Of the two, Zhu Physics has been to the library and has come into contact with the serial murders of the past year, and may then imitate the crime.
But for the time being, it seems that Qian Huahua does not have the possibility to know last year's case, so there is no basis for imitating the crime.
Both Yang Ye and Gu Liang's votes were based on this point, but they had different thinking angles.
But in any case, the suspicion of these two people is still the biggest in Gu Liang's view.
So their statements are very important.
However, after the statements of these three people in turn, Gu Liang did not get any special information.
It was nothing more than 12 o'clock last night, and the rest of the players fell asleep one by one. The three of them were silently playing Doudizhu while keeping watch.
After playing for two hours, at 2 o'clock in the morning, the three of them woke up Yang Ye, Gu Liang, and Li Xiaoyu, and fell asleep one after another.
In the timeline of the three of them around 2 o'clock, Gu Liang can actually testify that he did see them falling asleep one by one with his own eyes.
The group behind Gu Liang was the third group. The principal, the director, and Aunt Guan spoke in turn, and there was still nothing unusual.
From 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock, three people kept vigil, and then woke up the fourth group where the deceased was.
That is to say, judging from everyone's rhetoric, there is nothing unusual from 12:00 midnight to 7:50 midnight.
At 7:50, Ma Qingjie of the fourth group first saw the deceased Gu Fuban sleeping, and then she also fell asleep.
At 7:55, Gao Canteen watched Ma Qingjie and Gu Fuban fall asleep, and he fell asleep last.
In fact, looking at it this way, Gao Canteen is also very suspicious.
Because Ma Qingjie didn't watch him fall asleep, he was suspected of committing the crime.
But Gu Liang had previously ruled out Gao Canteen from the motive, so he can only temporarily think that he is not lying.
Then, between 7:55 and 8:30, someone completed the actions of stealing keys and killing people.
This whole thing is actually weird.
First of all, how can the killer make sure no one wakes up after 7:55? How did he manage to do this if drugs didn't exist
Secondly, did the murderer stay up all night, just pretending to be asleep? Or does he have strict control over when he falls asleep and wakes up
So even if there was a drug, how did he do it, how did he accurately grasp the time when other people fell asleep
While Gu Liang was thinking, he subconsciously glanced at the clock.
Since everyone didn't want to discuss in the bloody classroom 101, this discussion was held in classroom 102.
It happened that no one was talking at this time, Gu Liang held his breath and found that he could hardly hear the sound of the classroom clock.
This is somewhat unusual.
Because Gu Liang clearly remembered that the clock in classroom 101 was very loud.
On the first day when he first came to this script, he counted the "tick" sound, waiting for Teacher Yang's arrival; including last night, he also fell asleep watching the tree shadows shaking outside and listening to the sound of the minute hand moving.
But Gu Liang didn't have time to think deeply.
At this moment, someone suggested that everyone search each other, the men search the men, and the women search the women, to see if the players carry drugs with them.
After the body search, everyone returned to 101 together, and carefully checked the snacks and toiletries that everyone brought last night to see if there might be anything similar to drugs in them.
The proposal was passed unanimously.
Soon everyone got up and took action, men and women divided into groups, and searched each other.
Yang Ye naturally took Gu Liang's hand and walked aside, "Stand still, let me search."
Gu Liang also spread his arms, and looked at Yang Ye quietly with his eyes, with the appearance of "you can search whatever you want".
Yang Ye smiled: "You're so cute."
Gu Liang looked at him: "Just follow the rules. Don't make up your mind."
Yang Ye leaned into his ear. "Anyway, I've seen everything about Liangliang."
Gu Liang bent his legs, raised his feet, and the back of his shoe touched Yang Ye's calf. "Be serious with me."
After a while, Yang Ye pretended to search Gu Liang's body, and his old acquaintance Meng Qiancheng came over.
Yang Ye looked sideways at him: "Why?"
Meng Qiancheng said as Gao Canteen: "Search."
Yang Ye narrowed his eyes: "Who do you want to search?"
Meng Qiancheng: "Of course it's Squad Leader Gu. Aren't you a detective?"
Yang Ye: "I searched, and he's fine."
Meng Qiancheng pouted. "I received a separate reminder. You and Squad Leader Gu have a [substantial relationship], who knows if you will protect him?"
Tsk. This old Mengtou's amnesia belongs to amnesia, but his behavior has not changed.
Yang Ye held Gu Liang's hand, and said righteously to Meng Qiancheng: "Since you know that we have a substantial relationship, you can't even touch him."
— Just kidding, can my people let you touch them casually
After all, in Yang Ye's eyes, outsiders should not touch Gu Liangliang's hair.
Meng Qiancheng wanted to understand what was coming, and turned to Yang Ye with disgust on his face: "Damn it, my son is almost as old as Squad Leader Gu, and I'm already so old, what should I do? Do you think anyone is as crooked as you?" ? And oh let me tell you, my wife is beautiful!!!"
Gu Liang faced Meng Qiancheng, with an expression of "I'm sorry that my child is disobedient, jealous and fooling around", dragged Yang Ye behind him, then took off his school uniform jacket and handed it to Meng Qiancheng. "You can search whatever you want."
The body search was over, and there was nothing related to drugs.
The players then went back to classroom 101 to check in detail what everyone brought last night.
Gu Liang didn't look at those gadgets, since he entered classroom 101, he stood by the podium and stared at the clock.
After a while, Yang Ye walked up to him and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Gu Liang thought for a moment, and said, "Have you noticed the clock in classroom 201 of Guanmeng language upstairs? When the minute hand moves, is there such a loud sound?"
Yang Ye thought for a while and said, "I didn't notice this detail."
Gu Liang: "I can check again in a while. The clock in classroom 102 doesn't have such a loud sound. If it doesn't have such a loud sound in 201, it means that only the clock in classroom 101 is special. I'm thinking that there may be some articles in this clock."
After pausing for a moment, Gu Liang said again: "Yang Ye, I think the matter this time is not as simple as being addicted to drugs."
"Assume that the murderer put the drug into the snack fruit."
"The murderer killed the person after 7:55. In principle, the drug he administered should last for more than 8 hours. After all, everyone ate snacks before 12 o'clock yesterday."
"The method of drugging should be to fascinate everyone, and then kill people while everyone is fascinated. But this is not the case now."
"When the first group of people are awake, we are sleeping. And the second group, we sleep for two hours first, then wake up, and continue to sleep after two hours... It is impossible to achieve this with drugs. Light In terms of drugs, many details cannot be explained clearly.”
"For example, how did we wake up halfway? After we woke up, we didn't feel dizzy or anything. It doesn't seem like we were drugged."
"I fell asleep again around 4 o'clock. At that time, we were leaning against each other. As far as I remember, no one appeared to spray drugs or anything in front of me."
"So if I'm addicted to drugs, it can only be those small snacks. But I only ate the oranges you peeled."
"I remember that Li Xiaoyu shared a bag of plums. I clearly saw that everyone ate them except me. But I didn't eat them."
"If the real culprit puts the drug in the snack fruit, first, he can't guarantee that everyone will eat it; second, even if everyone eats it, there will be no possibility of waking up halfway, keeping watch at night, and fainting afterward."
"So, it's normal to find no drugs."
Yang Ye thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense. At first I just imagined it roughly, maybe after you and Li Xiaoyu fell asleep, I took out the drug and sprayed it on us, Guaranteed to steal the key after I am stunned, but look at it now... "
"It's more like the killer has absolute sleep time for all of us. It's very weird."
"If it's a drug spray, first of all, we didn't find protective measures such as masks that the murderer himself used to protect his mouth and nose, not to mention that. If he sprays the player next to the player with the drug every time he changes shifts, that's not a problem. Not reasonable. The risk of discovery is too great."
"Yes. That's exactly what I was trying to say."
Gu Liang nodded and said, "We were divided into a night watch group during the intensive discussion in the afternoon. You just say that you are in the same group as me. Li Xiaoyu wanted to be with us because she was afraid of being killed because she came second in the exam. The others They are also divided into groups based on how they got along in the past two days or before."
"After dividing into groups, everyone will draw lots to determine the order of vigil. Therefore, the real culprit will only know you who have the key and the time period when the deceased will fall asleep after everyone draws lots."
"A key issue right now is that we sleep in groups, it's just a negotiated shift vigil. It's not exactly something that's guaranteed to happen."
"For example, if there is a girl on vigil going to the toilet on the way, it is not convenient for the boys in her group to accompany her. You have to ask the girls in the other groups to get up to accompany her, and you have to wake up the person who has the key to open the door."
"Again, people like me, although I have always been able to sleep well, but that was before. From the end of the script of "Rhinoceros", after the punishment in the small black room, I committed an old problem that I haven't committed for many years. , I am prone to insomnia, especially after two hours of sleep. Last night, I clearly remember that I couldn't fall asleep at first, but then suddenly fell asleep for no reason."
"It's weird both from my perspective as a player and from the perspective of a character in the game."
"The fourth group, Ma Qingjie and Gao Canteen, actually had similar problems. Judging from the speech, they were at 7:50, and they suddenly started to feel sleepy, and then fell asleep. This is even more strange. After all The fourth group got up at 6 o'clock, but they didn't actually stay up all night, why are they so sleepy?"
"Ma Qingjie gets up early every day to clean, and Gao Canteen gets up early to make breakfast. This is their working time. According to the biological clock, it is unreasonable to go back to sleep in the cage. Or even if it is possible, the murderer cannot guarantee this. Yes."
"So, what time does each group go to bed and what time does it go to sleep? It's a shift that everyone agrees on. But it's not something that's guaranteed to happen."
"Accordingly, no one can guarantee that I will wake up at 2 o'clock and fall asleep on time at 4 o'clock. I may wake up at 1 o'clock and fall asleep at 5 o'clock."
"7:55 to 8:30 is the strangest. Why is everyone sleeping?"
"From the player's point of view, you have been a soldier, and you have an unshakable biological clock that wakes up before 6 o'clock."
"From Teacher Yang's point of view, you should be ready for class at 8 o'clock. Why did you wake up when I called you?"
"Last night all night, if the real murderer just needed to steal the key, he observed secretly and found that you and I were asleep, and the others were also asleep, so he used a spray drug to ensure that he would not wake us up when he stole the key. this is possible."
"However, by spraying drugs, it is almost impossible to ensure that every player falls asleep on time according to the order of falling asleep determined by lottery at the time of shift change."
"For example, the real culprit is Zhu Physics, who I voted for at the beginning. He is in the first group. He didn't do anything during the vigil in the first group. After waking us up, during the two hours of our vigil, he pretended to be asleep and waited for us 4 After the shift shift falls asleep, he will spray you and me again. He also has to make sure that this incident is not seen by the third group of night watchmen... The probability is too small."
"Even if the people in the third group were chatting in low voices about Doudizhu, he did it once behind their backs and succeeded. But he can't succeed every shift. At least it shouldn't be his perfect killing plan. Because the risk is too great."
"This is a matter related to the safety of the players themselves. When the players are on vigil, they should generally be more serious."
"So, it must not be drugged."
"The murderer must have mastered some kind of method that we don't know for the time being. He can control the time when each of us falls asleep. It may be that after we drew lots, he made his own killing plan according to the order of falling asleep, and then started to follow the plan Manipulate us."
"I just can't imagine how he did it."
While analyzing the case with Yang Ye, Gu Liang kept looking around the classroom.
The players' evidence search has entered an extremely detailed stage, and even the school uniforms have begun to be removed.
Gu Liang took a look at everyone and began to examine the structure of the classroom.
Finally he raised his head and looked at a fan above the podium.
There is a bloody chair on the podium, next to the body of Gu Fuban.
This fan is right above that chair.
Gu Liang frowned, and asked, "It's summer vacation, it's hot, why hasn't the fan turned on?"
Yang Ye thought of something, and said: "There is an explanation in my plot. The fan was installed in the past, and there was no air conditioner at that time. Later, the school got investment and had money, so it installed the air conditioner. The fan was not removed. But The button to turn the fan on and off has been removed. So the fan is purely for display."
"So... maybe there's something hidden in there."
Gu Liang put his hands on the podium, intending to jump up, stand on it, and check the top of the fan blades.
Just as Gu Liang was about to act, Yang Ye held his hand down.
Gu Liang looked back at him. "Um?"
Then Gu Liang saw Yang Ye squatting down and hugging his knee directly.
Gu Liang: "Hey-?"
Yang Ye: "Come on, I'll just hold it high. The podium is covered in blood, and my hands are dirty."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Liang didn't have time to stop him, and was directly picked up by Yang Ye.
Gu Liang's face was blushing, and he was not at all embarrassed to look at the expressions of other players.
But Gu Liang couldn't care less about embarrassment.
His attention was quickly diverted.
After being lifted up by Yang Ye, he saw that there was indeed something on top of the fan. It was something similar to a remote control, and he could probably hold it with one hand.
Yang Yeju and Gu Liang's actions were so ostentatious that everyone saw it.
So when Yang Ye put Gu Liang down and Gu Liang took the black remote control to observe, some players recognized what it was.
The one who spoke was Director Xiang, the dean of academic affairs. "Hey! I recognize this thing! It should have been there on the podium."
Gu Liang immediately asked: "What kind of remote control is this? What does it do?"
Director Xiang said: "This is called [I won't dismiss get out of class]."
"The clock in classroom 101 is quite special. The minute swing of the hour hand can be controlled by this remote control."
"This classroom is a special classroom for intensive training. For example, this classroom was specially selected for the intensive training of the Mathematical Olympiad."
"During the critical period of the training camp, in order to allow students to concentrate on their studies, we will turn off the get out of class bell. Then students can only watch the time through the clock in the classroom."
"So, the teacher can quietly control the remote control to adjust the minute hand time. For example, we finish class at 11:30, and when it is 11:30, the clock can be displayed at 11 o'clock under the control of the teacher."
"Teacher Yang has just taken office, and the training camp has not yet reached the middle and late stages. The principal and I haven't had time to tell him the little secret of cheating students not to leave get out of class."
Director Xiang's words are indeed very informative.
After the principal affirmed the purpose of this remote control, Wu Shengsheng soon asked: "Could the real culprit use this remote control to change the time last night?!"
Gu Liang thought for a while, and said: "If you just change the time, it doesn't actually mean much. For example, Gao Cafeteria was the last one to go to sleep in the morning, and it was 7:55 at that time. It may be the real time at that time." It’s 7:30. In that case, it’s just that the murderer has enough time to go back and forth to the cafeteria to get the murder weapon.”
"I don't think that the function of this remote control is as simple as changing the time."
"This is not a case where you need to change the time of the clock and forge the alibi."
Speaking of this, Gu Liang looked down at the buttons on the remote control, and there were words such as "pause", "timer", "slow down setting" and so on.
Gu Liang looked at Principal Li and Director Xiang again. "Do you know the detailed description of the remote control and clock?"
Director Xiang said: "There is an instruction manual in the teaching equipment room. From my memory, it has quite a lot of specific functions. You can directly adjust the minute hand, for example, go back half an hour. But this is easy for students to find out."
"So it also has a function, which is to slow down the speed of the minute hand. When the minute hand jumps, normally one minute has passed. But through settings, it jumps, and it may pass 1 minute and 10 seconds. Of course, the speed is adjusted faster. it is also fine."
"Also... By the way, if the teacher presses the remote control in front of the students, it will easily arouse the students' suspicion. This class is full of gifted students, and everyone is very clever."
"So, the teacher can set everything in advance. The hour hand, minute hand, and second hand, how they rotate at what time, and how much the speed can reach at a certain time point can all be controlled in advance through the remote control."
Gu Liang frowned, and couldn't help but ask again: "Besides you and the principal, who else knows the function of this remote control?"
Director Xiang said: "I don't know. However, this remote control is placed under the podium, and anyone may have access to it."
Gu Liang: "But even Teacher Yang doesn't know."
Director Xiang thought for a while: "That means someone has been to the teaching equipment room and seen the manual. The equipment room is on the first floor of the teaching building, next to the teacher's office. It is not locked, and anyone may have been there."
It was almost noon.
The players are still a little confused.
Chef Yang Ye cooked for everyone.
After a simple meal, everyone scattered around to search for evidence.
The time is 12:30 noon.
Yang Ye and Gu Liang were sitting in the corridor beside the flower bed.
Gu Liang sat on the corridor, looking at the flower bed not far away, which was also the scene of the first crime in this case.
Gu Liang looked at the flower beds, while Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang.
After a while, Gu Liang turned his head, met Yang Ye's gaze, and said, "Yesterday at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, we found the body. After searching for evidence for an hour, we went to room 101 to discuss at 2 o'clock. At 4 o'clock, you proposed 5 After voting, everyone discussed about staying together at night. After you made this suggestion, everyone agreed. The 12 players were simply divided into four groups on the spot, and lots were drawn to determine the order of the night watch."
"At 4:20, everyone separated, started a second round of search, and completed voting at 5 o'clock."
"After 5 o'clock, we were the first to arrive in classroom 101."
"The broadcast was announced at 5:30, and at 5:40, all the players gathered. The last one to come, I remember, was the deceased Gu deputy class."
"In short, at 4:20, after confirming everyone's order of drawing lots, and before they gathered with us in Room 101 at 5:40, the real culprit must have done something."
"In fact, it takes 10 minutes to come from the dormitory holding the bedding and sheets. Then, the time can be further shortened from 4:20 to 5:30."
Yang Ye frowned when he thought of something.
Gu Liang also frowned. "I think he is adjusting the remote control during this time. The remote control can set the swing of the hour and minute hands in the clock. In addition to misleading players about the time, this also has another function, which I just thought of. This is very critical .”
Yang Ye frowned even tighter. "If the murderer knows the specific instructions of the remote control, he must have been to the equipment room. Then, on the first day of the plot, that is, July 23, people who have not been to the library are actually very suspicious."
When the game first started, it was July 23rd.
This day is also the time when Mr. Yang gives the first class to the students.
On July 23, there will be classes in the morning and mock exams in the afternoon.
On July 24, the exam results and rankings were announced in the morning, and a swearing-in meeting was held; at noon, Zhao Xuexue died in a flower bed.
The time has come to today, and it is already July 25.
After a moment of silence, Gu Liang said, "Li Xiaoyu went to the library on July 24, that is, at noon yesterday. Zhao Xuexue died at noon yesterday. This is the reason why we ruled out Li Xiaoyu as the murderer of Zhao Xuexue."
"But now that means, on July 23rd, when everyone else went to the library, she probably went to the equipment room. Then—"
"The special function of the remote control is related to Li Yingying's specialty."
