"Yes... it's Boss Bai who wants to kill me!"
"Boss Bai killed my own mother, so I bought a poison and wanted to find a chance to poison it during lunch today."
"I was in the house just now. Boss Bai actually came to look for me. At that time, I just dug out the poison box. When he entered the house, I didn't have time to clean it up. So the poison box happened to be seen by him. Then he Pulled out a knife, and said that if he had killed the murderer first, he would not have died."
…
This is what Bai Zi said to Gu Liang and Yang Ye when he came to Gu Liang's room after being hunted down by Boss Bai.
Gu Liang believed Bai's son's words at that time.
Boss Bai thinks that the 17-year-old minor is the most bullied and fooled among all players. Therefore, based on the psychology of self-help, he chooses to chat with his son first to test whether he is the murderer. This logic is reasonable .
After going to Son Bai's room, Boss Bai found poison on the table and thought he was the murderer, so he wanted to act preemptively and started chasing him, which is also reasonable.
But now it seems that Gu Liang was already deceived by him at that time.
"So, what do you think the truth is?" Yang Ye asked.
Gu Liang didn't answer immediately, but instead asked: "Why did you come to my room first in the morning?"
Yang Ye said honestly: "Everyone was confused when they heard the rules announced by the system after drawing the cards. After that, the system asked everyone to go back to their room to rest, and no one took action except you. I noticed you at that time After you started to act, everyone went out one after another. I followed you quietly and watched you go to the room of 'Lawyer Zhang', so I understand that you are playing Lawyer Zhang."
Thinking of something, Gu Liang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you think I might be the murderer if I run so fast?"
"Well, if you draw the murderer card, you have to force yourself to calm down, force yourself to adapt to the game, and you may have to go back to your room as soon as possible to prepare for your action. So, you leave so early, the chance of the murderer Big."
Yang Ye said, "Of course, if you are not a murderer, your actions can show that you are very calm and adaptable. I just got the detective card at that time, and I am very new to this game. I really want to Find someone who is rational and calm, and talk about this game in detail. Others are either scared or nervous, and they can't talk about any results at all, so I can only find you."
Speaking of this, Yang Ye adjusted his sitting posture, and leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Gu Liang.
Yang Ye understood the intention of Gu Liang's question. "You're asking me this because you're thinking about why Boss Bai went to find Son Bai?"
Gu Liang nodded: "As a detective, you want to chat with a calm and rational person, which will help you clear your mind. Then, as the murderer, Boss Bai, of course, may also find a relatively easy to fool for the purpose of self-saving. Adults chatting. In the morning, I believed what Bai Zi said, so I thought so. But now it seems that it is not the case. "
Yang Ye opened his notebook and recorded something. "You think it's not his personal behavior that Boss Bai is looking for his son."
"Yes. Boss Bai is looking for Son Bai, not acting privately, but implementing the requirements of the script."
Gu Liang replied affirmatively, "I speculate that the real plot should be that Son Bai had already planned to kill someone, so for some reason, he invited Mr. Bai to his room. Son Bai put the cup in his room in advance. , or the dessert was poisoned with Bai Yueguang. After Boss Bai arrived, he gave Boss Bai the poisonous dessert and water."
Yang Ye recalled it for a while, and said, "The time when Bai's son escaped to our room was about 9:20. So, according to what you mean, Boss Bai already won the prize between 9:00 and 9:20." poison."
Gu Liangdao: "Yes. At 12:20, when Maid Liu called Boss Bai to eat, he was already dead. The onset time of Bai Yueguang happened to be 3 hours. The time also fits well."
Yang Ye narrowed his eyes, and asked again: "Then how do you explain that Boss Bai killed Bai's son?"
Gu Liangdao: "I think, Boss Bai killed Bai's son, it was purely an unexpected situation outside the script. Boss Bai didn't do this to save his life. Under the supervision of the man in black, he couldn't survive. He went all out to save his life." I will die with my son Bai."
After hearing this, Yang Ye leaned back and leaned his head against the back of the chair. After a long time, he exhaled lightly and said, "Yes. I accept this statement. I suddenly thought of a detail. In the morning, Son Bai saw You were very surprised when you ate the desserts in the room without any scruples. If the desserts in his room were poisonous, it would make sense. He didn’t know the killing methods of other people, and subconsciously thought that everyone might ask Boss Bai to talk alone, in a similar way The method is poisoned, so he dare not eat anything."
"Yes." Gu Liang nodded, and continued, "In addition, there is another detail. During the free search, I passed by his room, and when he saw me, he didn't greet me immediately, but looked at me and drank a lot. Drooling. Looking back on this detail now, his actions seem very deliberate, as if emphasizing that the water he drank was not poisonous."
Yang Ye asked: "The glass of water he drank was not poisonous, but we didn't see any desserts in his room. If the water or desserts were poisonous, where did they go?"
Gu Liang said: "He may have washed the poisoned cup, and the dessert may have been flushed away by the toilet."
Yang realized something, took out his notebook again and wrote it down, "Isn't this counting as his destruction of evidence? The system didn't report it."
Gu Liang said: "When I went to the kitchen to order insulin, I only used 3 milligrams, and I flushed the rest with water. The system did not judge violations. I think this kind of behavior is different from burning fax paper. .”
Yang Ye thought about it and understood. "Understood, we don't have forensics in this script, and we don't have any technical investigators. Even if there are poisonous sweets and insulin, we can't judge with the naked eye. Therefore, if things like this are disposed of, it is not considered evidence of destruction. At least In our simple experience script, it doesn’t count.”
Gu Liang nodded in agreement: "I think, son Bai washed the cup and disposed of the dessert, just in case - in case we let him drink water and eat dessert, he dared not, so he was exposed. But we didn't do that. His actions in front of me, if you think about it, it's a bit out of place."
Gu Liang didn't speak any more when he spoke up to this point, and Yang Ye also didn't speak for a long time.
The one-on-one interrogation room is not big, and the surrounding walls are all pitch-black. The door of the same pitch-black room is locked, isolating all sounds from the outside world. When neither of them spoke, the room became extremely quiet again.
The walls, floors, and doors are black, as are the conference tables and chairs. The white light was projected down, and the shiny black tabletop also reflected a touch of white, not dazzling, but it looked monotonous after all.
Because of this, the red rope on Gu Liang's wrist is particularly eye-catching.
Can't help lowering his eyes, his eyes fell on the red, and after staying for a while, Yang Ye finally raised his head to look at Gu Liang. He clapped his hands vigorously twice, and then said, "It's wonderful. I'm getting more and more curious about what your job is."
"I'm not a cop anyway. The cops are way more professional than we are. Then again—"
Gu Liang stared into Yang Ye's eyes, "When searching for evidence on the first floor, Son Bai was fooled enough by you. He really thought that you had already confirmed that Brother Bai was the murderer, so he let down his guard."
Yang Ye was noncommittal, and Gu Liang asked again: "So, even though you asked me so much, you seem like a dog-headed detective who doesn't know anything. But in fact... you already knew that Son Bai was the murderer? How did you know? ?”
Hearing this, Yang Ye finally took out the detective's exclusive digital camera, swipe his finger to call up a photo, and handed it to Gu Liang.
Gu Liang took the camera. "This is the shredded paper of the Baiyueguang medicine box I picked up from the balcony. I glued it up and took it for you?"
Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang and said, "Well, you pay attention to reasoning, and I pay attention to the details of evidence. Look, this medicine box is very wet."
Indeed, the photographs show it clearly—the pill box is almost completely soaked in water.
In fact, Gu Liang also noticed this detail at the time, not only the medicine box, but even his sleeves were wet after he searched for the certificate, and Yang Ye handed him a tissue. But at the time he didn't think much of it.
Maid Liu went to the balcony to water the flowers in the morning. There are so many flowers on the balcony, so there is naturally a lot of water left on the petals and leaves. Therefore, when the pieces of the medicine box fell from the second floor, they hit the water on the petals and leaves and got wet, which is normal.
Now reminded by Yang Ye, Gu Liang found the crux of the problem—there was too much water on the medicine box.
In the morning, Gu Liang went downstairs at 10:30. He met Yang Ye, and the two played poker together. At that time, Maid Liu was cooking in the kitchen, and about 10 minutes later, she went to the balcony to water the flowers.
Therefore, Maid Liu watering the flowers, which Gu Liang saw with his own eyes, happened around 10:40.
At noon, the soil has absorbed most of the water, and the only remaining water is the petals and leaves.
If the pieces of the medicine box were thrown onto the balcony by the son at noon, the medicine box would only be slightly wet by the petals and leaves, almost equivalent to the wetness of Gu Liang's sleeves.
But now that a large area of the medicine box is soaked in water, this degree of wetness must not be the effect of simply rubbing it out.
When Maid Liu was watering the flowers, the water flowed from the spout, through the gaps between the flowers and leaves, and directly onto the fragments of the medicine box, which caused this degree of humidity.
This clue can only indicate that - fragments of the pill box, which were already in the flower pot before 10:40.
Gu Liang half-closed his eyes, and slowly said: "I understand. This photo can show that the son of Bai didn't just throw away the pieces of the medicine box at noon. He lied."
"Yes." Yang Ye said, "Besides, after I left your room in the morning and went to the living room, didn't I just sit on the sofa and not move. It’s the fragments of the medicine box in the flowerpot on the balcony. It’s just that I didn’t have the time to put it together at that time. Besides, if it was put together at that time and let you know, there will be no way to blackmail the murderer.”
Speaking of this, Yang Ye concluded: "Now we can restore the real modus operandi of Bai Zi. It should be around 9 o'clock. He put Bai Yueguang in the dessert and water in the room, then tore up the medicine box, Throwing the fragments from the second floor into the flower pot on the balcony on the first floor, after that, Boss Bai went to his room, drank water and ate dessert, was poisoned, and died of poison 3 hours later.”
"In short, poisoning and hiding evidence, these two things are not done by Bai's son at noon, he lied. There may be no Bai Yueguang in the meal given to Bai Boss at noon. Because of this poison, Bai's son It's over."
Yang Ye's details are well-founded, much simpler, more direct, and more effective than Gu Liang's reasoning.
After Gu Liang listened to his words, his eyebrows slightly raised, then furrowed, and his eyes narrowed immediately. "I've discovered this a long time ago, and you still let me make so much money? Are you kidding me?"
Contrary to Gu Liang's expectation, Yang Ye shook his head with a serious expression.
Yang Ye likes to entertain himself, Gu Liang is not blind, he can tell.
He thought that what Yang Ye did just now was nothing more than showing weakness first, pretending that he didn't know anything, and letting himself analyze it. After he finished his long argument, he threw out a very simple, effective and direct reasoning, so as to undermine his self-confidence heart, mocking himself.
He will definitely tease himself a few words, "Although your reasoning is correct, it is just a logical analysis and guess, not as solid as mine."
But Gu Liang discovered that Yang Ye wasn't entertaining himself right now. His expression had a completely different seriousness from before, and it could even be said to be a little dignified.
Yang Ye frowned slightly, looked at Gu Liang, and said, "No. I really want to hear your analysis. Because I can't make a single mistake. Our vote determines a person's life or death. Son Bai, will you do it because of Our vote is dead."
After a while, Gu Liang said: "It's a pity. Your details and my reasoning all show that the murderer can only be him."
Gu Liang got up and walked to him, patted his shoulder. "It's right to be cautious. If we make a wrong vote, we will not only resent a 'good guy', but also kill you, a detective. But don't get too entangled. This is the rule of the game. You said, we are not sinners, but victims By."
The author has something to say: "Good guy" refers to the identity in the game.
Good guy cards, including ordinary player cards and detective cards, are relative to murderer cards.
