Live Action Murder Mystery

Chapter 78: Folding Castle (16)

Views:

The vision outside the window continued.

But it is nothing more than switching back and forth between snow, moon and sun.

"Ding dong."

Suddenly the public address rang.

"Friendly reminder, players can go to the window to observe the vision outside the window."

"Also, there is still half an hour before the end of the exploration. Please hurry up."

"I'll see you in the discussion room in half an hour!"

After the broadcast ended, Gu Liang also turned his gaze out of the window again.

Obviously, the vision outside the window is an obvious reminder to the players.

This reminder is in line with Gu Liang's idea.

But there is another key point, which Gu Liang thinks he missed.

— Where is the key

At this time, Li Xiaoyu, who was looking out the window, suddenly said, "What do these pictures mean? It's snowing for a while, the sun for a while, the moon for a while... It's so illogical, even more illogical than my dreaming."

Dream

Yes, that's right.

This might really be a dream.

The jumping pictures seem illogical at first glance, but it is only in a dream that one has to dig deeper to find the hidden relationship between various things.

At first, Gu Liang only thought that this ancient castle was actually an illusion built by the Duke.

But if you look at the whole story purely from the perspective of illusion, there are still some things that cannot be explained.

Li Xiaoyu said this unintentionally, and Gu Liang found out—indeed, if the illusion is changed into a dream, many things can be truly explained.

Gu Liang exhaled and said to Li Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you have solved a big problem. This is the dream. We are in the Duke's dream."

After saying this, Gu Liang walked to Yang Ye's side: "There is only half an hour left, so we split up. You take everyone to your room and check according to the ideas we discussed before. Anyway, it is always you who restores the details of the murder. Good. I'll go to the warlock's room and the duke's room again."

"Okay. See you in half an hour." Yang Ye said.

"Yeah." Gu Liang waved at him and ran away first, "See you in half an hour."

Before, everyone went in and searched Yu Zhanan's room one after another, but they were all concentrated in the bedroom and bathroom.

This time, everyone turned their attention to the balcony that had been neglected before.

Now the vision in the sky stopped temporarily.

The world returned to darkness.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone had to search bit by bit with the help of the flashlight. After searching for a long time, they finally got some clues—some bloodstains were seen on the tiles by the balcony.

It's not hard to speculate what might have happened here.

So, Yang Ye and the others immediately went downstairs, went out from the main entrance of the castle, and walked around from the outer wall to the ground facing the balcony of Yu Zha's room—sure enough, there was blood here too.

But the blood was very little, and everyone used flashlights to illuminate it for a long time, and only a small amount of blood was seen.

Boss Mei couldn't help but ask Yang Ye: "You killed someone on your balcony and pushed him down?"

"No." Yang Ye said, "We have checked the two corpses. There are no injuries on the back of their heads or the rest of their bodies. Some people were pushed down from the sixth floor by me, there must be more than this blood on the ground."

Yang Ye pointed to a little bit of blood on the ground with a flashlight, and said, "This blood is from the wound on his chest. This can only mean that he passed by here."

Boss Mei looked up at Yu Scumbag's balcony on the sixth floor. "It's not like he jumped off by himself."

Yang Ye: "That's hard to say. If this is really a dream, anything can happen."

Boss Mei spread his hands: "Since everything is possible, it is also possible that the corpse was thrown down by you without injury or bleeding."

Yang Ye was quite calm when he was so insulted, and said: "This dream must not be a complete dream, it is folded together with reality. Therefore, everything that happened will not be so whimsical and untraceable. Otherwise There is no logic for us to solve the case. However, how this dream was constructed depends on the clues found by Gu Liang. Therefore, it is meaningless to talk about it now, let’s find the clues first.”

Just after Yang Ye finished speaking, a voice came from Li Xiaoyu's side.

She lay prone in the grass, no matter how much dirt was on her body and face.

At this moment, she raised her dirt-smeared face, held up a room card, and said, "I think this thing is very important!"

Yang Ye approached and took her room card, took a photo with the flashlight, and found that it was the universal room card that he had seen in the housekeeper's room.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ye figured out a very crucial link, and couldn't help but praise Li Xiaoyu. "You did a great job today. This card is very, very important."

After receiving the card, Yang Ye picked up the flashlight and pointed it forward.

He pushed aside the bushes in front of him and walked inside. "Let's go, let's see if there is blood on this road. Where does this lead to?"

Everyone searched here with flashlights, and sure enough, they found some bloodstains along the road.

Finally, they went all the way along here, and the place they arrived at was the sunflower garden.

The remaining half an hour of exploration time is over.

The focused discussion officially started.

The radio rang on time.

"In the "Folding Castle" script, the long exploration time is over, and now we have ushered in the final stage of intensive discussion. Are all players as excited as I am?"

"Because every player is suspected, there is no detective in this case. Players can choose the person who leads the discussion and decide the discussion process by themselves. Everyone can have a centralized discussion, or go to the one-on-one interrogation room or their respective lounges. Discuss separately."

"There is no detective, so it doesn't matter if you cast the wrong vote?"

"Players, please don't have such a fluke mentality."

"The owner of the castle, our great Duke, everyone helped him find the real culprit who killed his wife. He is very grateful. But the Duke has a regret that has lasted for three hundred years, and there is also a hope that has lasted for three hundred years." A century-old wish! What a pity, our murderer brutally destroyed all of this!"

"If the player does not find the real murderer and the person who destroyed everything, [The Duke's Wrath] will be triggered. The moment the sun rises again, you will be trapped in this castle forever, until die."

"Only by finding the right murderer can you gain real relief."

In the past, either the murderer died, or the detective died with the wronged good guy.

In that case, among the good people, there are those who fish in troubled waters. Anyway, whether they voted correctly or not, at most they will not be rewarded, and they will not be greatly affected.

This time, the murderer confronted everyone directly, and it was either you die or I live.

In this way, after the rules were read out, in the discussion room, each player's expression was a little dignified.

Boss Mei couldn't help standing up, looked at Gu Liang first, and said anxiously: "Do you have any basis for the statement about the dream? Are you sure? Did you find anything from the warlock?"

In front of Gu Liang was a pile of messy books and various diaries.

At this moment, he is looking down and looking through.

Hearing Boss Mei's words, he raised his head and said to Boss Mei: "I haven't found the most important thing, and it will take some time. There are too many books here."

On the side, Yang Ye had a panoramic view of Gu Liang's reaction.

He suddenly realized that he could now see that Gu Liang was not telling the truth.

Gu Liang's body was a little tense, and there were blue veins floating slightly on his white neck, but the depth of his neck was a little red.

This is his physical reaction when he is a little excited. This means that he must have discovered something crucial.

It's just that he chose not to say it for the time being, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the real murderer.

Gu Liang only said: "However, we are in a pre-set dream, which is certain. I can tell you the basis for my speculation. In fact, the most important thing is that everyone's memory is confused, and whether they are afraid or not. A matter of light."

Gu Liang looked at Su Lan: "Su Lan, you remember that you have murderous intentions for Ai Meili. But you don't remember whether you have actually done it yourself, and you don't remember going to Ai Meili twice that afternoon and what you said respectively. Is it?"

Su Lan nodded: "Well. I didn't lie."

Gu Liang said: "Yes, you didn't lie. It's just because the Duke himself didn't know what the real Princess Rose said to Ai Meili that day. You are just a rose living in his dream."

"The duke set up a dream, in which there is his daughter Rose. In this dream, you, as a rose, are made up of the duke's memory and imagination of the real rose. But in the real world, many things about rose, he He didn't know about it. For example, he read Rose's diary and knew that she had murderous intentions for Amelie, but he didn't know whether she did it in the end. "

"The other thing is the fear of light. I think it's because the Duke himself is so powerful that he has forgotten that vampires are also afraid of light. In the dream, when he set up each character, he didn't take the factor of fear of light into consideration. go in."

"Therefore, the real roses in the diaries of the servants are obviously afraid of light. But Su Lan, as the rose in his dream, you didn't know that you were afraid of light from the beginning to the end."

"Let's talk about Princess Rose killing the chef. There is a tombstone by the lake, and you should have seen it when you searched for evidence. There is a tombstone that says that Princess Rose killed a chef."

"The cruel duke killed a lot of people, but he left this human chef because he cooks so delicious food. It is estimated that this matter is very deep in the duke's memory. So, this time, he just dreamed Here comes the matter."

"In this script, the chef was killed at the very beginning. This incident is just a refraction of the memory fragment in the Duke. This should be easy to understand. Sometimes when we dream, we will dream of something that happened a long time ago. Happened. I didn't mean to have this happen again, it just happened to me out of the blue."

"This is actually what I didn't think about at first."

Gu Liangdao, "I thought that the Duke just constructed an illusion based on reality. But just using the illusion to explain all of this, the princess killed the chef, this incident will appear very abrupt in the illusion, and other events, as well as the Duke construct this illusion purpose, and has no connection."

"But if you correct the illusion into a dream, it all makes sense."

"Therefore, in our subsequent reasoning, I think we must first distinguish between two types of events."

"The first type of event is directly related to the Duke's purpose of constructing this dream. The setting of the characters and the development of the story are all strictly set by the Duke."

"The second type of events are events that seem illogical and irrelevant at first glance. These are the disturbing factors in his dream, such as the accidental death of the chef, or abnormal weather events."

"After eliminating the interference of the second type of incident, although we are in a dream, it is actually no different from reality. It is better to deduce the murderer based on the timeline and clues. The difficulty of this case is actually to eliminate the interference."

Hearing Gu Liang talk up to this point, Li Xiaoyu was the first to speak.

She took a pen to take notes seriously, and then asked Gu Liang: "Let me summarize. You mean that the Duke set up a dream for himself. Many characters in this script were set by the Duke in his dreams. We The characters and plots are also developed according to the direction he arranged. However, because it is a dream, there are some scenes that he did not expect to dream, but they appear unexpectedly, which leads to These things have nothing to do with the story he set up, which seems a bit illogical."

Gu Liang nodded. "Yes. That's what it means."

After listening to Gu Liang's words, everyone fell into thinking for a moment.

They're going through the story from scratch to see if there's anything wrong.

After a while, Su Lan couldn't help asking: "I have a question. If we are in a dream, what are these evidences? I mean those from three hundred years ago. Such as the diaries of the servants, the silver A cross or something. There must be a basis for this after all.”

Gu Liang thought for a while and said: "Three hundred years ago, the oriental magician killed Ai Meili. Not long after that, the people in the castle disappeared overnight, and the Duke's whereabouts were unknown. Now we find out from the story of Boss Mei that the Duke It may have been sealed for three hundred years."

"What happened that night three hundred years ago, we don't know. But I think that all the evidence in this house three hundred years ago was checked by the Duke in some way. And he deeply remembers In my mind, I restored them in my dream."

After a pause, Gu Liang asked again: "Do you remember what the system said in the second stage of voting and in the public broadcasting just now? The system kept saying that the Duke wanted us to find him for him. Who killed it."

"This is a hint from the system. This incident is indeed one of the reasons why the Duke constructed this dream."

"I tend to think that it was Boss Mei and Sister Mei who unlocked the Duke's seal after killing the ladies. So the Duke was able to construct this dream with memory and mana."

"In the dream, he restored all the evidence and clues he could think of about the night three hundred years ago, and then brought us in. One of the reasons is that he wanted us to help him find the person who killed Ai Meili. The real murderer. He wants to know what happened back then."

"Of course, we are the characters he constructed. In fact, he is using his memory to find the truth about Ai Meili's death."

Seeing that everyone had no objections for the time being, Gu Liang continued.

Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye again, and said: "After talking about Su Lan, I will tell the story of Yang Ye again. He thought he was Earl William. This is also the character setting given to him by the Duke. Three hundred years ago, the Duke accepted I received the earl's letter, remembering that he will be here in the next two days. But the duke doesn't know the real reason for the earl's arrival."

"The duke doesn't know the earl well enough, so he can't give him too many settings. Therefore, he can only make up for many stories about the earl with his own stories. For example, he escaped here because he lost to a werewolf; Another example is that he knows how to use the bat."

Li Xiaoyu said at this time: "I understand. I am also a character he constructed. I thought I was Ai's mother, but in fact, I didn't even know my daughter's birthday. That's because the Duke didn't know Ai's best friend's birthday. "

Gu Liang nodded: "Yes. He doesn't know Ai's best friend at all. So he can't give you more character stories for the role of Ai's mother."

Li Xiaoyu asked again: "But I have a question, how did the duke know Ai's best friend?"

Gu Liangdao: "The first possibility is that he was conscious during the three hundred years of sleep, and could know what happened in the castle."

"This can be proved by the fact that when I met the mysterious man in the Rose Garden this afternoon, the mysterious man said to me that a cold baby can also grow a soul under human care."

"Let's not worry about who this mysterious person is. In essence, we are in the Duke's dream. If the person in the dream can say this sentence, it means that the Duke himself knows about it. He can know the relationship between the doll and the The story of the famous lady, of course I also know Ai's best friend."

"The second possibility is that after Boss Mei unlocked the Duke's seal, the Duke got up and walked around. He may have been to the southern street and met the three corpses of Yu Scumbag, Mei Design, and Ai's best friend. Maybe there were no corpses at that time. Complete death. Ai Guimi may have shouted 'help me, my name is Ai Guimi' or something like that just before she died."

"But no matter which possibility is possible, this is not the most important thing. After all, I am not sure whether the Duke was really 'resurrected' by the boss of the United States, nor can I be sure that this dream was constructed after he was 'resurrected'. The most important thing is The reason why the Duke constructed this dream."

Gu Liang said slowly: "As I said just now, one of the reasons why he constructed the dream was to find out the reason for Ai Meili's death. But I think there are two other reasons for him to construct this dream. In fact, the system just read When it comes to rules, it’s also implied.”

Li Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "I remember the original words of the system - the Duke has a regret that has lasted for three hundred years, and he also has a wish that has been expected for three hundred years."

Gu Liang nodded: "Yes. The Duke's second reason for constructing the dream is to make up for regrets. In addition to this, there is a third reason - to realize the wish."

"These two reasons correspond to the marriage between Yang Ye and me, and Mama Ai's marriage to Boss Rong."

"Three hundred years ago, the Duke fell in love with someone, but he couldn't have a good ending with her. This is the regret he wanted to make up for. So he constructed the story of Yang Ye and me in this script. We are very close In a short period of time, the story of him and Ai Meili was interpreted. We have the same beginning, but what he hopes is that we have a different ending."

"The Emily he loved died. He wanted to find the reincarnated Emily and be with her again. This was his wish. It was also the third reason why he constructed this dream."

"Because of this, he not only imagined a reincarnation of Ai Meili's mother Ai, that is, the role of Li Xiaoyu. He also created a fiancé of Ai Mama. Because this matter may be something he has worried about for three hundred years—even if he Finding Ai Meili's reincarnation, could she have fallen in love with someone else?"

"So, the story between the three of you is that Li Xiaoyu moved on, broke up with her fiancé, Boss Mei, and married Mr. Rong. Therefore, in this story, Mr. Rong always thought that he was the real one. Duke."

Li Xiaoyu couldn't help asking: "I understand. But what is this dream based on? For example, why am I wearing the face of Ai's best friend, and why does Earl William look like a scumbag? Is it because of the Duke? After being resurrected, you walked to the south street and saw our dead bodies?"

"But if that's the case, you still think you are a famous actor. How did you fall into this dream?"

"Did Mr. Rong die in reality before he firmly believes that he is a Duke?"

Gu Liang glanced at Li Xiaoyu, but didn't answer her immediately.

Li Xiaoyu didn't understand the reason for his hesitation, but Yang Ye, who was watching Gu Liang from the side, understood.

—The things these questions involve are critical and may determine the murderer's motives.

And this is what Gu Liang didn't want to disclose directly at the beginning of the focused discussion, so he chose to conceal it in the end.

After a while, Gu Liang just said: "Those details can be discussed later. It's not a critical thing."

"In short, in the absence of other brain holes, only dreams are the only reasonable explanation."

"I also mentioned 'regret' and 'dream' when listening to the system read out the task, so I dared to take a step closer to affirming this idea."

"I think that mysterious man is the incarnation of the Duke himself in his dream."

"In the Duke's dream, two weddings are about to take place. One is to make up for regrets, and the other is to satisfy wishes."

"He wanted to be a part of both weddings and witness everything, so he walked in."

Li Xiaoyu slapped the table hard. "I understand, this murderer ruined his dream. His wish can't be realized, and his regret can't be made up for!"

Li Xiaoyu breathed out. "Then we have to solve the case quickly. Otherwise, we will trigger the Duke's wrath and be trapped in his dream..."

Gu Liang paused for a moment and continued: "In short, I think that after the mysterious man, that is, the incarnation of the Duke was killed in the dream, the dream has begun to change. The special settings of our characters are slowly disappearing. "

"For example, during the investigation today, Xiaoyu and I looked in the mirror together, but neither of us had a mirror image. As Ai Meili's reincarnation, Li Xiaoyu should be a human being. She also mentioned that when she looked in the mirror before, there was There is her. So, at the beginning, the dream was perfectly portrayed by the Duke. But now Xiaoyu has recovered the characteristics of the Duke himself, and cannot be reflected in the mirror."

"In the end, it's the same thing about playing the piano. I don't even know the staff, but I can play that piece of music. Because in the end, I am a dream of the Duke. The person in his dream can play the piano because he himself can play the piano."

In fact, there is another point that Gu Liang didn't say.

That's the problem with the scar on his neck.

The Duke constructed this dream for three important reasons.

The story of Gu Liang and Yang Ye, as one of the reasons, is naturally very important in the Duke's dream.

In the beginning, the Duke must have made the setting of the two very detailed.

This is to perfectly restore the story of him and Ai Meili.

So Gu Liang has a transformation period, and during the transformation period, he has fangs for one hour and no for one hour... These details are all set by the Duke.

But after the mysterious person in the dream died, the scar on Gu Liang's neck disappeared immediately; again, he was clearly still human, but he couldn't be seen in the mirror...

This means that every character that has been set is slowly losing its own independent setting, and is becoming closer and closer to the Duke himself.

This actually meant that, probably after the death of the mysterious man, problems with this dream began.

Including the vision of the weather, the sudden snow, the moon, the sun...

This carefully designed dream seems to be beginning to crumble.

Thinking of this, Gu Liang's heart sank a little, and then said: "Whether it's a dream or any other setting, the story is for everyone to find the motive. Now to find the murderer, the most important thing is the timeline. "

"I think that before further discussing the background of the story and the motive of the murder, everyone should first talk about their own timeline."

"Today we will have lunch in the main hall together at noon."

"At 12:30, everyone left one after another. So, from 12:30 to 5:00 pm when the body was found, what was everyone doing during this period?"

Gu Liang turned the notebook in front of him to the latest page, re-wrote the names of each player, and prepared to sort out the timeline.

At this time, he spoke first: "I have said so much, then I will continue."

"My timeline is very simple. After eating, I went back to my room to rest. From 1:30 to 2:00 in the afternoon, I picked flowers in the back garden, mainly roses in the rose garden. Nearly 2:00, I met a mysterious person. After talking to him for a few words, I saw Boss Mei and Sister Mei. After that, I went back to the room until 5 pm."

Boss Mei immediately said, "I've been mentioned, so let me talk about it."

"Didn't the couple of you who are going to get married go to try on clothes this morning? As the master of ceremonies, I discussed with the two bridesmaids, Sister Mei and Meng Tourist, the evening program and how to arrange the main hall in the main hall."

"After lunch, we went back to our rooms to rest. Sister Mei and I made an appointment to go to the back garden to pick flowers at 2 o'clock to decorate the venue. We met in the main hall at around 1:55 pm, and then we went to Rose From the garden, when I met you, I took a look at the mysterious man from a distance, but I didn't see what he looked like."

"At 2:30, Sister Mei and I went back to the main hall and kept decorating until 3:40. I went to the lobby. Isn't there a lot of antiquities there? I want to see if there are any suitable ones, and bring them here for wedding decorations When I returned to the main hall, it was 4:30. When I came back, Sister Mei was still there, but there were a lot of flowers, so she should have gone to the back garden again."

Sister Mei said at this moment: "Then let me continue. The one in front of me is exactly the same as Boss Mei. At 3:40 in the afternoon, he went to the lobby to look for antiquities, and I continued to arrange in the main hall. At 3:50, I ran out of flowers, so I went to the back garden to pick flowers again, and half an hour later, at 4:20, I returned to the main hall."

Gu Liang asked, "Did you see anything when you went to the back garden?"

"No." Sister Mei said, "But I didn't go to Sunflower, I was in the rose garden. Of course, I didn't hear anything."

Li Xiaoyu interjected: "Huh? What about the other bridesmaid? Su Lan, where are you?"

Su Lan said: "I didn't go with them to pick flowers. I rested in the room. At 2:30 in the afternoon, I met the mysterious man in the room. He talked to himself, I ignored him, and dressed himself. Halfway I went to the bathroom and when I got out he was gone."

"At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the third floor and went to Princess Rose's bedroom to find some evening dresses as bridesmaid dresses. I also helped Sister Mei choose one."

"After picking out the clothes, I went to the main hall. At 4:10, I passed the lobby and saw Boss Mei. At 4:20, I entered the main hall and saw Sister Mei who came back from picking flowers."

After listening to Su Lan's words, Gu Liang quickly made a certain judgment.

There are a total of 6 players in this script, and it is impossible for 3 people to be the murderer at the same time.

Sister Mei and Boss Mei talked about the timeline first, and Su Lan said it later.

And the timeline Su Lan said can confirm Sister Mei and Boss Mei.

So about these key points in time, Boss Mei and Sister Mei should not have lied.

The next speaker was Li Xiaoyu. "My timeline is very simple. After eating at noon, I went back to my room and rested until 3 o'clock. A mysterious man appeared in the room. He disappeared after saying a few words. I just took care of dressing myself. Until nearly 5 o'clock At that time, I thought about making a bouquet, so I went to the back garden and found two dead bodies."

Yang Ye was the last one to speak: "My timeline is simpler. Eat, rest, meet a mysterious man at 3:30, and be told dead at 5:00. It's over. From noon to 5:00, I've been in the room."

After all six players finished speaking, no one spoke for a while.

Everyone is looking down at each person's timeline to see if there is a breakthrough in it.

After a while, Gu Liang opened a book and said, "I have concealed something just now. But after listening to everyone talking about the timeline, I can say it now."

"A certain page in the book of Eastern warlocks mentioned that illusions can construct dreams. But this dream must be based on reality. For example, before I fell into a dream, I met a person. I can follow his appearance, In the dream, I 'fabricated' a person exactly like him. It's just that this person's memory was designed by me."

"But there is a key here. I can't fabricate someone I haven't met in my dream out of thin air."

"That's why I said before that it is possible that the Duke is indeed alive. He saw the three corpses on South Street. When he constructed his dream, he used their appearance. Of course, this is only a possibility."

"Then here comes the first question, how did the few of us who were alive fall into the dream? This may determine the murderer's motive."

Gu Liang paused, then continued: "Another more critical issue is that the warlock also mentioned—in principle, no matter what happens to the person in the dream, he will not suffer any harm."

"But there is one exception, and that is when the heart is injured - the heart of the person in the dream is injured, he will die in the dream immediately, and stimulate the dreamer's brain."

"Of course, after the brain nerves of the dream maker receive the stimulus of the character's death, they can reconstruct the character and make him come alive in the dream. But the warlock does not recommend that the dreamer do this. Because doing so will lead to the collapse of the dream. The logic of the story is disordered, which may lead to a series of unpredictable follow-ups, such as the situation where the dreamer is immersed in many dreams and can no longer wake up."

Gu Liang closed the book and said: "It's basically like this. If there are no exceptions, there are thousands of pages of books that talk about dreams, and that's all. If you think it's not enough, you can look for it together."

"I think enough is enough."

It was Boss Mei who said this.

He stood up suddenly, looking a little excited. "I know what you mean by these two questions. The first question, the construction principle of dreams, helps us think about motivation. But I think the second question is more important right now."

"There are two points to the Warlock's words. First, once the heart is pierced, the person in the dream will die immediately in the dream. Then, there is no special vampire physique, no matter what everyone thinks they are in the dream. No matter what your identity, as long as your heart is pierced with a cross, you will die immediately, and there is no limit of 3-5 hours before you die."

"Secondly, the person in the dream will not be really injured, which means that even if he falls from a height, his body will not be damaged! He will only appear dead in the dream when his heart is pierced, and , if the dreaming duke doesn’t reshape the man, he won’t be resurrected.”

"This can explain why after the deceased was stabbed to death in Yang Yefang and then pushed down from the balcony on the sixth floor, there were no other scars on the body or the back of the head."

Boss Mei couldn't help but said to Yang Ye: "You are really suspicious."

"You are the last person to see the mysterious person. There are slight blood stains on your balcony, the balcony corresponding to the ground outside the castle on the first floor, and all the way to the sunflower. How do you explain this? If Mr. Rong is not You killed, at least You-Know-Who, most likely you killed him. You killed him, pushed him downstairs, went downstairs and followed the bushes, leading him all the way to the sunflower garden."

"Before I answer your question, let me ask the others a question. Xiaoyu, and Su Lan—"

Yang Ye glanced over the two of them one by one, and asked, "You are the mysterious person I met in the room, aren't you?"

Both girls nodded, Yang Ye asked again: "He appeared in the room out of nowhere, right?"

"Yes." Li Xiaoyu said, "I suddenly turned around and saw him."

Su Lan also nodded: "It appeared suddenly. My door is closed."

"That's right, then."

Yang Ye took out the room card that Li Xiaoyu found in the grass, and said, "This card and the blood stains appeared near the ground in my room on the 6th floor, which corresponds to the outskirts of the castle. But there is no need for the mysterious person to enter the house." This card. Therefore, this card must not be his. Therefore, there is no situation where I kill him, push him downstairs, and then this card falls out of him."

Boss Mei said: "This card may have dropped from you."

Yang Ye: "This card is the universal room card in Housekeeper Hao's room. If I want to kill the mysterious man, which room does he live in so that I need to use this card to kill him? I don't even know Who is he."

Boss Mei said: "Then you take this card to kill Boss Rong."

Yang Ye said again: "If I kill Boss Rong, I will move his body from the ground facing the balcony of my room to the sunflower garden to clear my suspicions, right?"

Boss Mei: "Of course. In the Sunflower Garden where the body was found, it is difficult for us to find other traces. There are not even bloodstains there. We can't think of your balcony, and we can't think that your balcony corresponds to the first floor of the castle. There is blood on the ground .You moved his body, of course to cover up the real crime scene."

Yang Ye smiled, very confidently: "Then this means that I must have killed Boss Rong in my room, right? Otherwise, if I killed Boss Rong in his room, I wouldn't need to kill him at all." To cover up the scene of the first crime, I just threw the key card in his room, so that anyone could enter his bedroom with the key card and kill him, right? I don’t need to bother."

Boss Mei suddenly understood something and frowned.

Yang Ye smiled, and said again: "Since I can only kill people in my room, then this can only mean that I made an excuse to invite Mr. Rong to my room, and then do it again. "

"In this case, why do I need to use a universal room card?"

Yang Ye tapped his index finger on the table.

"Therefore, it is impossible for me to kill the mysterious man in the room and push him downstairs, nor is it possible for me to kill the boss."

At this moment, Gu Liang closed the notebook in front of him, got it in his hand, and stood up again. "Yang Ye, let's go, we are one on one."

Yun Xuan, who used to play various NPCs such as Maid Liu and Boyfriend Feng, is now also dressed in a white robe.

At the moment she is holding tea and standing in front of a hill.

She didn't hold the tea steadily, and the tea kept shaking because her arms were shaking.

She stared at the mountain in front of her, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became.

Just two hours ago, she saw Mingyue walking to the middle of the mountain.

The mountains at that time were separated. It was as if a sharp ax had split the mountain from top to bottom.

Mingyue came to the middle, and then the split mountain began to close, crushing his whole body.

Now, two hours later, the mountain is parting again.

After a while, Mingyue came out from inside.

When he came to him, Yun Xuan clearly saw a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.

Yun Xuan was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Seeing Yunxuan's expression, Mingyue smiled.

He took the tea Yun Xuan brought, took a sip, and put it back on the tray.

"What's there to be afraid of? Once a month. I'll see you often in the future."

Mingyue said indifferently, and walked forward, "When I first came here, I had to suffer once a day."

Yun Xuan didn't dare to speak, but followed him silently.

Mingyue asked her: "Is what I want ready?"

"Okay." Yun Xuan said tremblingly.

Mingyue asked again: "Are you still afraid? Do you think the scene of my being punished is terrible, or are you afraid that I will take my anger out on you?"

Yun Xuan didn't dare to say anything, she refused to answer a word.

Mingyue seemed to find it quite boring, so she didn't ask.

Walking into the room, Yun Xuan had already prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he asked for.

Mingyue stepped forward, sat on the couch, picked up a pen and began to write. "Thank you. After being punished, practicing calligraphy can restore peace of mind. It's a good way to cultivate one's morality. Otherwise, I might want to take revenge on society."

Yun Xuan didn't dare to answer, but went to pour another cup of hot tea and put it on the table next to her.

Then she saw Mingyue write a few lines.

"Death is farewell, life is farewell."

"The old man enters my dream, and it shows that I remember each other."

fall asleep

Yun Xuan couldn't help thinking.

—Is he referring to the story of the folding castle, or... is he feeling sorry for himself
