Why did Mingyue say that
Is his behavior legal
If the system designed such a complicated game to test the player's IQ or reasoning ability, his self-destructive behavior obviously violated the original intention of the system to design the game.
Or... This game is not a test of IQ.
After all, there are thousands of ways to test IQ.
What it really tests is something else, so maybe Mingyue's self-explosion at this moment is itself a test
Gu Liang couldn't figure it out, he just frowned and looked at Mingyue.
But before he had time to say anything else, he heard Yang Ye's voice.
— "Gu Liang!"
Gu Liang turned around and looked towards the entrance of the lobby on the second floor, and saw Yang Ye hurriedly walking towards him.
Yang Ye looked very embarrassed at the moment.
—Half of his face is covered with blood. After his right leg was scratched by the previous chef Huang yesterday, he obviously suffered a more serious injury today, but he insisted on running out and jumped down the steps with one foot. He wanted to take a quick look To Gu Liang.
Gu Liang hurried up the stone ladder to support him. "what happened?"
Yang Ye hugged him and let out a long breath in his ear, "It's fine as long as you're fine. I just heard the system say that the performance is over, let's go find the deceased by ourselves. And you're not at the inn. I was terrified. "
Gu Liang understood that Yang Ye was worried that the deceased would be himself.
Gu Liang looked behind Yang Ye, and other players appeared there one after another.
First, there was Tourist Jia, who was also in a mess with a smear on his face, and his girlfriend Jia who was supporting Tourist Jia.
After that, there is the pretty waiter with the medicine box, and Wang Guhui standing quietly beside her.
The last one who ran towards Gu Liang was Zhao Meili, played by Li Xiaoyu.
And Chef Huang played by Mingyue is behind Gu Liang.
From this, Gu Liang knew who the real missing person was—Boss Ling.
Li Xiaoyu went to Gu Liang and said something to him: "At about 5 o'clock, I went to the lobby and planned to go to the lake to meet you for dinner. As soon as I walked to the entrance of the lobby, I witnessed the whole process of their fighting. "
"At that time, Tourist Jia just came back. When he appeared at the main entrance of the inn, he had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he had many injuries on his body. He looked angry, and when he saw President Gao at the entrance of the lobby, he walked straight over and punched President Gao. , and then the two started fighting and fell down the stone steps together."
After hearing this, Gu Liang said: "Xiaoyu, you go find the corpse first. I will give Yang Ye a medicine in the lobby, and I will go find you later."
Then Gu Liang took the medicine box from Liang's waiter, and then helped Yang Ye into the lobby, where he sat on the sofa where Boss Ling usually receives guests.
After a while, Li Xiaoyu and the others left one after another to find Boss Ling's body.
In the lobby, Gu Liang didn't care about anything else, first wiped off the blood on Yang Yeban's face with gauze, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
—Fortunately, it was just a skin trauma, and the blood flowed a lot, which looked scary, but after cleaning up the blood, the wound was not big, but a little deep, probably because the cheek was knocked on the sharp stone steps when rolling the stairs.
"Does it hurt?" Gu Liang asked him.
Yang Ye shook his head, and asked him with a smile: "If I lose my appearance, do you still like me?"
"What are you poor at this time?"
Gu Liang took a cotton ball and dipped it in iodophor, sterilized his wound, stared into his eyes, "Besides, do you think it's your face that I'm looking at?"
"Of course not." Yang Ye shook his head affirmatively, "Liangliang is not such a superficial person. What Liangliang likes is me. At the soul level."
Gu Liang quickly supported his head, and yelled in a low voice: "Don't move around."
After treating the wound on Yang Ye's face, Gu Liang looked at his legs again.
The climate here is very hot and humid. Yang Ye is also wearing shorts this time, with his calves exposed, and the place where he was wounded by the knife before is still wrapped in gauze. Not to mention the bleeding now, his knees are down, and his skin is all knocked by the stone steps. broken.
Gu Liang frowned and helped clean up the wound on his leg, sterilized it, and then helped him re-wrap the whole leg with gauze. At this moment, he heard Li Xiaoyu's voice.
"Gu Liang, Yang Ye, can you hear me?"
The sound came from the north direction of the inn, which was almost in the direction of the main entrance of the lobby.
Next to the wooden staircase is a row of slightly concealed carved wooden windows.
Gu Liang walked to the window, opened one at random, and saw Li Xiaoyu standing in front of a bush about 200 meters away.
Li Xiaoyu raised her head and waved to Gu Liang in the lobby on the second floor. "The body was found!"
"I'll come over now."
Gu Liang responded, and turned to look at Yang Ye, only to see him standing up by himself, about to jump out with one foot.
Gu Liang quickly stopped him. "Why don't you stay here."
"It's okay. Skin trauma." Yang Yedao, "It's only an hour to find the corpse and the scene of the crime, so hurry up and look at it, don't worry about me. I'll walk slowly to find you."
"It's okay. Then you should pay attention to yourself. Knowing that you are physically fit, don't try to be brave."
Gu Liang walked out of the lobby, only to see Tourist Jia sitting alone in the courtyard.
Glancing at Gu Liang's gaze, the former boss of the United States, now the tourist Jia, said with some discomfort: "I am also seriously injured. I can't leave. I will rest for a while and then search for evidence."
After a pause, Tourist Jia said to Gu Liang again: "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes. I didn't hurt him on purpose. I was hurt too, okay? It's all because of the plot, okay?"
"Besides, we went climbing in the morning, and he pushed me down the mountain! It took me a damn day to climb back from the bottom of the mountain."
Gu Liang was silent for a moment, then returned to the lobby, took a medicine box, went down the stone steps, and handed it to Tourist Jia. "You handle it yourself."
The group of people just now should have walked out of the inn gate and walked the main road, then searched from all directions around the inn, and then found the body.
Gu Liang didn't go through the gate of the courtyard, but walked directly to the back of the stilted building where they lived.
Walking to the back of the building, what Gu Liang saw at a glance was piles full of straw.
These straws are just too much.
Gu Liang sighed last night when he looked down through the window on the third floor.
This time when he walked up to him and observed them closely, he felt that the straws were too thick.
He put his hand on it, pressed it, and looked carefully, feeling that the straws were a bit messy, not as neat as they were when he saw them last night. But he searched carefully, and did not see any blood on it.
The main building in the inn is two stilted buildings side by side, with a small courtyard in front of the building.
Usually, when guests leave the inn, they have to pass through this courtyard.
As for the rear of the stilted building, there is only a small path about three people wide.
Outside the path is a row of low wooden fences. Go over the fence and you're outside the inn.
The path is full of straw and other sundries, and there are few places to step down. Usually, no one comes here.
At this moment, Gu Liang paused for a while on the path full of straw, and then continued to walk in the direction where Li Xiaoyu and the others were.
Naturally, Gu Liang didn't go back to the gate of the courtyard, and bypassed the main road. Instead, he took a long leg, stepped over the wooden fence, and took a short cut along a straight line.
Outside the fence is a pile of weeds, which is also a downhill road. Not far away are some low bushes, and a little further away is a forest.
Just now Li Xiaoyu was waving at Gu Liang from the bushes, but now she has turned around and entered the woods.
This indicated that the body was in the woods.
The dead body is in the woods. There are actually two possibilities.
First, Boss Ling went to the woods by herself. She met someone there and was killed.
Second, the woods were not the scene of the first crime. Boss Ling might have been killed in the inn, and then taken from the inn to the woods.
If it is the second possibility, then the probability of the murderer walking through the main entrance of the inn is very small, because it is too easy to be spotted by people coming and going.
Then, it is relatively reasonable to go directly from the back of the stilted building, step on the straw, cross the low fence and bushes, and go to the woods to throw the corpse.
This is why Gu Liang decided to go this way when he saw Li Xiaoyu find the location of the corpse just now.
Along the way, Gu Liang observed all the way, and the weed pile did indeed separate to the two sides, and it was suspected that someone had passed through here beforehand and left traces. There are also things that look like footprints on the ground, and some weeds are even broken on the ground, which looks like they have been stepped on.
But because there were too many weeds that almost covered the ground, Gu Liang couldn't recognize them clearly.
He couldn't tell whether these things were left by people, and what if there were any animals.
Therefore, in this script without technical appraisers, Gu Liang can only make a rough guess with the naked eye, and cannot be completely sure.
Passing through the weedy area, Gu Liang walked all the way to the bushes, and saw a path beside it.
He took out the card and compared it with the map, and he was sure that if he followed this small road, he could go around to the main road.
The road goes up to the main entrance of the inn, and down to the white water lake where he went fishing during the day.
While walking, while drawing the map in his mind, Gu Liang had a good idea.
When he went fishing down the mountain today, he took the winding road for nearly 30 minutes.
But if you cross the wooden fence from the back of the inn, pass through the weed piles, bushes, and finally pass through the forest, and go down the slope directly, it may only take ten minutes.
At that moment, after passing through the bushes and walking a few steps into the woods, Gu Liang saw the rest of the players and Boss Ling's body.
Boss Ling's corpse looked a little horrible.
She was disheveled and had many bruises on her body, some of which looked like scratches or falls, and many places were bruised.
Gu Liang frowned subconsciously.
Li Xiaoyu explained at this time: "I just took off the clothes to see the scars. She was fully dressed before."
The waiter next to her continued to add: "There are two suspected fatal injuries. One is a knife wound on her back, the kind that cut directly into her lungs. The other is on her chest... a bit like a bullet wound."
"It should be a bullet, but this bullet is a bit unusual." Wang, who was squatting on the ground, said lonely.
Gu Liang looked at Wang lonely, thinking that this girl is also very courageous.
——She took a knife and actually cut Boss Bell's chest, and then took out a bullet that looked a little strange.
Noticing everyone's gazes, Wang Guyou explained: "I am a nurse in the real world, the kind who often goes into the operating room to cooperate with doctors."
Gu Liang took a few steps and looked around, but found nothing else.
He took out the card and glanced at it, and it was less than half an hour now.
The corpse was no more than 500 meters away from the inn, and it was hidden in the woods. It was an easy place for players to guess the corpse, so it stands to reason that it would not take an hour at all to find the corpse and check the scene.
—Why did the system give a full hour for this link this time
President Gao and Tourist Jia were injured and have not come over for the time being. Chef Huang is not here, I don't know where.
Now there are only four girls in front of Gu Liang.
He thought of something, so he had to ask the girls first: "In the past two days, has anyone seen that homeless man? Is he an NPC, or played by a player?"
Girlfriend Jia, Wang Guhui, and Zhao Meili all shook their heads.
The beautiful service is showing embarrassment.
Gu Liang asked her: "The few of us are tourists who have just been here for two days. The homeless man who has been harassing the proprietress for a long time... should only be known to you. Do you know where he lives?"
Liang service finally nodded. "Yes. He...he lives on the hillside across the lake. I went to him today. He didn't open the door for me. Now that I think about it, he might have died by then."
When Gu Liang was fishing, he did see Liang service go to the other side of the lake, but he didn't see her come back.
"Then let's hurry up and take a look at the opposite side. Please lead the way."
After Gu Liang said this to Liang's service, he turned around and walked out of the woods, and saw Yang Ye, Ming Yue, and Tourist Jia wandering slowly over.
Gu Liang walked up to Yang Ye and said, "There is another dead person on the other side of the lake. I'll go and have a look. Don't go."
"Hey Gu Liang—" Yang Ye tried to hold him back.
"I have an injury on my leg, don't be brave, there are still 7 hours of free exploration in the future."
Gu Liang's expression was quite serious. After saying this, what did he think of, imitating Yang Ye's way of treating him, and patted Yang Ye's head, "I'll go back as soon as I go. Be good."
"Hey, cool--" Yang Ye adjusted his glasses, amused by Gu Liang.
With a serious face, Gu Liang turned around and went back into the woods. "It should be closer from here."
In this way, Gu Liang took the four older girls and ran to the other side of the lake.
Yang Ye rubbed his nose, turned around, and saw Tourist Jia walking over, and said, "It's okay to act separately, to save time. The three of us go to each room to check?"
"You guys go first. I'll take a look at the corpse before I go."
After Yang Ye said this, he walked into the woods alone, and checked Boss Ling's body again.
When Yang Ye walked out of the woods again, Mingyue and Tourist Jia had disappeared.
Yang Ye's thinking is similar to Gu Liang's.
When he came, he came from the main road outside, and when he returned to the inn, he passed through bushes, weed piles, and finally stepped over the wooden fence to the back of the stilted building of the inn.
After briefly inspecting the pile of straw, Yang Ye raised his head and glanced at the window on the third floor.
Frowning, Yang Ye stepped out of the path on the straw, came to the courtyard of the inn, and saw the bright moon in the courtyard.
It was obviously getting dark at the scene of this script, and at this point in time, the sunset had just appeared.
Mingyue was lying on the bench basking in the sunset, and seemed to have no intention of actively searching for evidence.
His performance is very different from that of NPC Maid Liu.
Yang Ye walked up to him and couldn't help asking: "Hello, I heard Gu Liang mention you. Are you his high school classmate?"
Mingyue opened her eyes, glanced lazily at Yang Ye, clicked her chin, and closed her eyes again.
Yang Ye asked again: "May I ask, do all the players here die in reality, do you know about this?"
Mingyue opened her eyes again, sat up, and looked at Yang Ye with a bit of surprise on her face. "What? Is there such a thing?"
Yang Ye: "..."
Mingyue continued to ask: "I was also transformed from a player. Am I dead too?"
Yang Ye: "..."
Yang Ye's phrase "Please don't tell Gu Liang about this beforehand" stuck in his throat, and he swallowed it down.
In the end, Yang Ye only said, "It's nothing. It's just a guess."
"Oh." Mingyue nodded and lay down to sleep again.
Yang Ye: "..."
— Do the students in Gu Liang and his top class like to sleep late
Yang Ye didn't bother with Mingyue any more, and quickly started searching for evidence.
The first thing that caught his attention was the cardboard box in the trash can.
The cardboard box was huge, and I don't know what it was packed in before.
I took out the carton and looked around, and there were three words "rhinoceros horn incense" written on it.
Yang Ye was a little surprised.
When introducing rhino horn incense before, Boss Ling came with a small incense burner.
Whether judging from her actions or combined with real experience, things like rhino horns are quite precious and rare. Therefore, it is logically unlikely that such a large box is only used to hold rhino horns.
Frowning, Yang Ye continued to rummage through, but there was nothing in the trash can.
He continued to search in the grass next to him, but he also found an instruction manual.
"Artificial rhino horn incense, low price, huge output, can completely replace real rhino horn—from a pharmacist who likes to do research and development."
After reading this piece of paper, Yang Ye raised his head and glanced back at the inn where they stayed.
— There are five guest rooms in total, and there are only three employees including the boss.
First of all, why do they need so much straw
Furthermore, coming to the Huangquan Inn to see the dead is actually a very secret thing.
Yang Ye, the role of President Gao, had searched the Internet for a long time before accidentally seeing this legend in a post bar, and he was not sure if the legend was true, he just came here with the idea of trying it out.
Well, it stands to reason that the service of Huangquan Inn is not extensive.
—Why do they need so many rhino horns
Yang Ye squinted his eyes and looked at the restaurant next door, as well as the back kitchen, chef's room, and service room next to the restaurant. Finally, he put away the manual, returned to the inn, and went upstairs almost hopping on one foot. Boss Bell's room on the third floor.
After looking at the door of Boss Ling's room for a few times, and the moment he opened the door and entered, Yang Ye suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
Which detail is wrong.
what detail is it...
On the other side, Gu Liang ran to the foot of the mountain at a very fast speed, which took about 7 minutes; after another 4 minutes, he quickly ran across the stone bridge to the other side of the lake.
On the way just now, he asked the service provider about where the homeless man lived, but now that he reached the opposite hill, he found it easily.
—He ran up the mountain for about 5 minutes along the rather steep stone ladder, and saw a thatched house on the mountainside.
Taking a breath, Gu Liang tried to push the door open, but found that the door was closed tightly, and it seemed to be locked from the inside.
Fortunately, the door of the thatched cottage was not strong, so Gu Liang tried kicking it a few times before knocking down the door panel.
The moment the door fell down, Gu Liang saw the body of the homeless man in the room.
—A looped rope was hung on the beam, and the homeless man's neck was hung on it. There was a kicked-over stool under his feet, which looked like he had hanged himself.
Gu Liang stepped forward to put his body down, his two eyeballs almost popped out, his tongue was exposed, and liquid flowed out from his mouth and nose.
Gu Liang took off the corpse's clothes again, checked the whole body, and found that there was no other trauma on his body.
Therefore, no accident, he was strangled to death.
However, I don't know if he really hanged himself, or if he was strangled to death and made it look like he hanged himself.
Apart from the dead body in the hut, the second most eye-catching thing is a gun hanging by the window.
The shape of the gun is a bit strange, and it is a bit rustic, very much like a homemade one.
There was a scope on the gun, Gu Liang walked up to him, bowed slightly and looked out through the scope.
In this way, he discovered an extremely important thing.
— This scope can just aim at the stilted building in the inn.
The magnification of the scope is very high, Gu Liang can not only see the guest room where he lives, but even see the furnishings inside the room through the window.
If there is no accident, the bullet in Boss Ling's chest was fired by this gun.
Gu Liang continued to check the corpse, then went back to the door, lifted the door panel and took a look.
What Gu Liang focused on was the lock.
This lock is the simplest kind of plug-in lock, and it is not strong. If an iron post is inserted into the door from the inside, it will lock the door.
When Gu Liang kicked the door, he kicked it down from the wall together with the door, and a large piece of wall covering was still hanging on the lock.
And one of the most critical points is that the plug is still plugged on the door.
This means that when Gu Lianggang kicked the door, the door was indeed locked from inside the house.
There was a hanged person in the house, and something similar to a sniper rifle was aimed at the inn. Boss Ling had a bullet wound on his chest...
All this looks like the homeless man shot and killed the proprietress, and then hanged himself.
But if the homeless were also murdered, it would be a case of locked room murder.
At this moment, the four girls arrived.
Wang Guyou seemed to have the best physical fitness, and his face was quite calm.
Li Xiaoyu was the worst, holding on to the wall and gasping for breath.
In fact, the mountain where the inn is located is not high, and the main road is detoured, but it is not too far to go straight down through the woods.
Next, Gu Liang reckoned that Liang’s service was not walking fast this afternoon. Although it took nearly 15 minutes to walk on the stone bridge, it was estimated at 70 meters per minute, and the stone bridge was only about 1,000 meters.
Before Gu Liang could speak, Li Xiaoyu said, "Don't laugh at me. I just can't do sports, and I can kill me at 800 meters. I... I went out... This corpse is disgusting!"
"Xiaoyu, check to see if there is anything hidden in the grass and bushes near the house. I will continue to check in the house. The time to inspect the crime scene is coming soon. I suspect that this place will be blocked by fog."
After Gu Liang said this, he took a quick look inside the thatched cottage.
There were many empty wine bottles scattered on the ground, and the smell was very similar to the plum wine in the inn.
Liang's service mentioned that homeless people would go to the inn to steal wine, and the wine was stolen from the inn if they wanted to come.
Furthermore, this house has a lot of iron tools, a lot of wood, and a lot of sawdust scattered on the ground.
And there are a few scraps of paper hidden among the sawdust.
There are several plastic bags in the house, probably used by homeless people to hold alcohol.
Looking at the time again, Gu Liang said: "It's too late. Let's take what we can take away first."
Several people also agreed with Gu Liang's suggestion, they took a few plastic bags, packed away what they could hold, and then quickly turned back.
Sure enough, when they went down the mountain and walked to the stone bridge, they heard the system's public address.
"Now some maps will be gradually blocked. For details, please refer to the logo of the card map."
Li Xiaoyu took out the card and looked at it, and said to the red circle automatically marked on the map: "Fuck, this is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, we have to run circles now!"
Li Xiaoyu was afraid that Gu Liang would not understand mobile games, so he explained: "When playing this game, you land at a random place at the beginning. As the game progresses, a circle will be drawn centered on a certain place on the map, and this circle will continue to shrink. You must run into the circle within a certain time, otherwise you will be poisoned to death."
Gu Liang glanced back, and the white mist had already drifted towards the stone bridge.
Without looking back, Gu Liang ran forward with the plastic bag in one hand and the gun in the homeless man's room in the other.
Gu Liang had several questions in his mind.
First, how was the chamber of secrets formed? Is there any influence of ghosts in it
Second, the stone bridge is about 1,000 meters long, but the stone bridge is not erected from the shortest distance between the two mountains. The thatched huts of the homeless and the Huangquan Inn are built on the mountainside, and the mountain itself has a curvature, so , The shooting distance is much shorter than 1000 meters. However, no matter how short the range is, it is estimated to be about 800 meters.
—So, can a gun that looks like it was made by a homeless person have such a long range
This is why Gu Liang brought this gun.
If no other evidence can be found, it can only rely on Yang Ye's professional judgment.
The third question Gu Liang considered was how the bullet hit Boss Ling.
The window of the homeless man's thatched cottage is indeed facing the stilted building of the inn, but it can only be aimed at the four rows of north-facing guest rooms in the middle, that is, rooms 301 to 304.
Yang Ye's room and Boss Ling's room are at the two ends of the "concave" shape. These two rooms are located on both sides of the stilted building, and the windows face west and east respectively.
When shooting a gun, no matter from the point of view of aiming or from the point of view that the bullet can pass through a solid, it must pass through the window. After all, it is unlikely that there will be a blind sniper thousands of miles away, and the bullet can pass through the wall and hit someone.
Well, if the range of this gun is really enough, and someone shot and killed Boss Bell from that hut...
This means that Boss Ling must not have been in his own room when he was shot, but in one of the four rooms facing north.
—Then why would she go to someone else's guest room
