Yang Ye didn't answer the senior brother directly, but walked up to the second senior brother and patted him on the shoulder.

The second senior brother received his signal and took off his robe, revealing his right sleeve which was covered with jet-like blood.

Yang Yedao: "The counterfeit sleeps with his upper body naked. This beautiful woman in clothes is consistent with the testimony of the second senior brother. The second senior brother admitted that he went to the dead man's room to carve letters on him after Maoshi. At that time, the deceased he saw was naked And last night when Yi Meiren saw the dead man sleeping, he was also naked."

"Since this is the case, it is conceivable that if the counterfeit wakes up and finds that the second senior brother is coming to kill him, so he kills the second senior brother instead, then the blood spatter caused by the killing will only remain on his bare right hand and arm, and the Not on the sleeves. The situation was so critical at that time, it was impossible for the counterfeit to wear clothes and then kill people."

"So, there is no such thing as a counterfeit who kills the second senior brother and then pretends to be the second senior brother. It is the counterfeit who died."

Speaking of this, the elder brother wanted to say something, Yang Ye said: "Well, of course you can say that the real murderer has long thought that we might reason like this, so this is his disguise. For example, when you kill someone to change your face, Also got blood on the sleeves by the way, to make it look a little bit more like it. Hmm... It's possible. So it's not a decisive factor. You have another opening."

The elder brother didn't speak, his face became even paler.

Yang Ye said slowly: "The amount of dough is wrong."

"Who has the wrong amount of dough?"

"The amount of skin on Wang Bulao's face."

Yang Ye looked at the elder brother and explained: "Since the current Wang Bulao is pretending to be a fake, then there is a piece of Wang Bulao's face on his face. If he wants to exchange identities after killing people, take off his face Just put the skin on the face of the second senior brother. From this point of view, the fake mountain secret road will only lose the skin of the second senior brother, and there is no need for young kings who are not old."

Eldest brother frowned: "He probably didn't think about it at the time. After he went to the secret passage, he took two masks and went back to the bedroom. He changed them directly, and then took off the mask on his face, it might be—"

Yang Yedao: "No. It's unreasonable to do so. After going to the secret path, there is no need for him to return to the bedroom."

Big brother: "For... why?"

Yang Yedao: "Because after the murderer kills a person, the simpler the better. After killing the person, he took off the skin of his face and put it on the face of the corpse, took off the bloody clothes of the corpse, and went to the secret road in the rockery. , take away the second senior brother’s mask and put it on, and it’s over, you can go directly to the kitchen to get breakfast, and then go back to the room where your senior brother lives. He doesn’t need to go back to Wang Bulao’s room at all.”

"Leaving the scene and returning is not only unnecessary and time-consuming, but he can't guarantee that the body will not be found while he is away. If a crowd of people surround the body at that time, if he returns to the scene at that time, won't he admit to being the murderer? What's more, he has to go to the kitchen to get breakfast, from the rockery to Wang Bulao's bedroom, and from the rockery to the kitchen, in two directions. He has absolutely no need."

"So, you deliberately took away the face of Wang Bulao and the second senior brother, just to lead the direction of solving the case to the direction where Wang Bulao and the second senior brother exchanged identities, so that everyone thinks that the murderer is the second senior brother. It's just that you didn't calculate all the details. It's self-defeating."

"You should have discovered the secret path first when you were searching for evidence, and then thought of this way to set the blame on the spur of the moment, and took away two skins. At that time, you didn't have time to think too much, and it was also because you had to leave the secret path as soon as possible. You I'm afraid that other players will find this place at any time. So... you actually played very well. Now, are those two masks on you?"

The elder brother smiled wryly, then fell to the ground, as if lost in spirit.

He took out the two pieces of dough from his arms and threw them on the ground, his head suddenly drooped.

After a while, Yang Ye said: "In the end, Gu Liang went to the secret room and got the letter left by the deceased, which let us understand the whole story. Do you want to read it?"

The elder brother shook his head and buried his face in his palm. "I guessed the story. No need."

"Then can I ask you one more question?" Yang Ye asked him, "You killed Wang Bulao, or the younger brother acted as Wang Bulao. What is your real motive? After reading this letter, we are sure , it’s not that he forced you.”

The senior brother was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Ten years ago, Wang Bulao took his junior brother out for a trip, but when he came back, there was only Wang Bulao left. I asked him how the junior brother died, but he didn't speak clearly, he just said that he was killed by someone. They were murdered by evil spirits. But I went to the places where they traveled and investigated, and there was no rumor of evil spirits killing people at all. After Wang Bulao came back, he lost his temper and became seriously ill. In addition, he has always been cruel... I believe that the younger brother was killed by Wang Bulao .”

"So, I killed Wang Bulao to avenge my junior brother."

Therefore, the elder brother killed Wang Bulao to avenge the younger brother.

But he didn't expect that the current Wang Bulao was played by the younger brother.

After the elder brother finished speaking, the discussion room was silent for a long time.

Everyone frowned deeply or lightly, maybe they were lamenting that the elder brother would accept the punishment of death in a while, or they were just lamenting the story of the script itself.

Eldest brother raised his head, in the central interrogation room of the modern building, white fluorescent lights were shining on the roof. Being illuminated by such a light, the eldest brother's face became even paler. His pupils also took on an almost off-white color.

The elder brother let out a breath and said: "My character, I don't know that this Wang Bulao is played by my younger brother. But I guessed it myself. It may be because I am a murderer, and the plot clues on my card are much richer than yours. .only… "

"I don't know what clues are hidden in the Xiaoyao faction about the younger brother and me. I'm afraid you will know that the deceased is the younger brother, and you will have associations with his relationship with me, and then suspect that I am the murderer, so I choose to completely Conceal this line, lie about your murderous intentions, and simply say that senior brother was raped by Wang Bulao."

"Perhaps, if I don't do so much, it's not easy to be discovered. I killed him and did nothing. The suspicion between me and the second senior brother is actually half and half... No, his suspicion may be a little bigger. The one on his sleeve There is blood. If I do too much, there will be more loopholes."

After saying this, the elder brother buried his face in his palm completely, and couldn't say another word.

The voice of the broadcast continued: "The murderer is about to receive death punishment. The rest of the ordinary players will each be rewarded with one gold coin, and the detective will get an extra gold coin. The beauty found a chance to talk to the NPC, triggering a side storyline, and also got a chance to draw a reward card."

When the broadcast sounded, a man in black handed out gold coins to everyone, and another man in black walked up to Yang Ye and Gu Liang. A pile of cards appeared in his hand for Yang Ye and Gu Liang to draw.

Yang Ye and Gu Liang looked at each other tacitly, and then drew cards at the same time.

After reading the cards, neither of them showed any obvious expressions on their faces, they just put the cards away.

Finally, the voice of the broadcast announcing the punishment.

"At the end of the game, let's take a look at the true face of the dead Wang Bulao and the senior brother! Let's take a look at the crimes they committed before. These crimes will be engraved on their epitaphs for all future generations to cast aside! "

As usual, one wall lights up.

The lives of two people gradually appeared on the light curtain.

"Wang Bulao (junior brother), real name Cheng Zhen, 37 years old, became unemployed after being fired from the company. He likes to steal things. Because he stole money from a person for medical treatment and life-saving, he was unable to perform surgery on schedule and died tragically. Sinner, Go to hell."

"Brother, real name Wang Jie, 28 years old, manager of an investment company, assisting political and business people in financial fraud, manipulating stock prices, making money from ordinary stockholders, indirectly causing many people to commit suicide by jumping off buildings, ruining their families. You will eventually be punished by 'see you on the roof' punish!"

The wall was opened, and a tall building appeared strangely inside.

Senior brother Wang Jie was taken to the tall building by two men in black like a puppet on a string.

Afterwards, Wang Jie jumped off the stairs by himself without being pushed by the man in black.

Gu Liang closed his eyes, the words on the light curtain were still in front of him.

He wondered if one day, what he did would appear on the light curtain like this.

But can those things about him be summed up in a few words

Will others understand his difficulties, excuses, or his true heart

Probably not.

At this moment, someone held his shoulder and asked softly, "Are you all right?"

Gu Liang turned his head to see Yang Ye, shook his head, and took out the letter signed "Little Junior Brother".

"Eldest brother, I'm about to die. Before I die, I want to tell you a secret about the life and death of Xiaoyao faction. The real Wang Bu Lao actually died two hundred years ago. Every Wang Bu Lao after that is a Choose a suitable successor from among the disciples, and then put on a human skin mask to pretend. So, in fact, Wang Bulao has never practiced any immortality technique."

"The earliest king was not old, and he caused countless hatred. But because of his high martial arts, no one dared to touch him. Once the news of his death spread, all kinds of enemies came to find him, and the Xiaoyao faction would no longer exist. Therefore, back then The real Wang Bulao came up with this trick—let his most proud disciple pretend to be him, and continue to use his identity as the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, so as to deter the world."

"I'm actually your junior brother. Our master is the eighth Wang Bulao. Back in the day, you were a young man with a chivalrous heart. I followed you to practice kung fu, and I followed you to the mountains to experience a lot. That's me. The happiest boyhood time in my life. You are unsmiling, but you have always been very kind to me. But now, I am afraid you don’t remember me anymore.”

"Ten years ago, the eighth Wang Bulao, our master, went mad and died soon. Before he died, he told me the biggest secret of the Xiaoyao Sect, and decided to train me to become the next Wang Bulao, the This is the head of the Xiaoyao faction. He also negotiated a marriage, and the woman is a well-known beauty in clothes. It's a pity that I have no intention of a beautiful woman, so I have to lie and say that I am inhumane."

"Master falsely claimed that I died in a foreign land. In fact, I had been hiding in the "Qingxiao Cave" in the back mountain. Later, Master falsely claimed that I came to this cave to retreat. In fact, he spent seven years teaching martial arts to the world. Me. If so, after a few years of absence, when we meet again, senior brother... I actually became your master."

"That night, the moon was shining brightly, and the peonies were in full bloom. I asked you to enjoy flowers and drink wine, but you actually said that you liked me. I was both happy and sad about this. I am happy because I also like you. I I feel sad because you regard me as your master, not the little junior who followed you every day. I have admired you since childhood, but the person you admire turned out to be our master. In this way, there have been struggles, After going through the pain, I am still willing to be by your side in the name of Master in the end. I can be with you for a day, and I will be happy for a day."
