The light in the interrogation room seemed a little dark, making the outline of Yang Ye's face more profound.
Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang and said slowly: "The first possibility is that he is not the murderer. He wrote this just for fun and to interfere with you. Could it be that you have offended him before and he deliberately took revenge?"
Gu Liang shook his head: "I don't remember such a thing. It shouldn't happen. I haven't contacted for so long."
Yang Yedao: "I also think this possibility is very small. Then, he is indeed the murderer. Just as he admitted to you. But why did he write this piece of paper? If he didn't write this piece of paper, he should make himself appear Cleaner. Why would he do something to increase his suspicions?"
Gu Liang thought for a moment, then said: "If he wants to help me, just tell me the truth about him. He is afraid that I won't believe him, so that he will forge this letter and pass this letter again. Give me some information."
"So it's more likely that he's misleading me. But what is he going to mislead..."
Yang Yedao: "There is a very critical time in that letter, that is, the time 'between 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.'. In fact, Boss Ling's real death time may be within this range."
"After 2:30, it's Liang's service that goes to the other side of the lake. Could it be that he wrote this time just to put blame on Liang's service?"
Yang Ye asked this question in a suspicious tone.
Because he really couldn't figure out the intention of the opaque moon.
Gu Liang shook his head: "But if that's the case, his tactics are too simple."
After saying this, Gu Liang frowned and looked very serious.
After a long time, Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye and suddenly asked, "Have you ever played mahjong?"
Yang Ye: "Of course I can play mahjong, but I'm not good at it. I will play a dozen occasionally when I accompany my elders, or when I need to socialize."
Gu Liangdao: "Whether mahjong or poker is included, there is a way of playing called playing cards. Some people directly show all their cards and play with everyone. In this way, if he wins, You can double your winnings.”
Yang Ye: "Do you think Mingyue is playing tricks with us?"
Gu Liang nodded: "He confessed that he was the murderer at the beginning, and he was indeed one of the murderers. But he has a way to prevent us from finding another murderer. This may be his idea."
"It's like when playing Go, he let you a few pieces first. In this case, if he loses, nothing will happen, but if I lose, it will appear that my IQ is completely and completely Got crushed."
After a long while, Yang Ye couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the grievances and grievances of your top class competing for rankings many years ago have continued into the game?"
——The world of top scholars is really difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"... I don't know what he thinks. But after analyzing it now, and adding the feeling he gave me, it makes me think so. Maybe it has something to do with the testing of the system."
Gu Liang hugged his chest, his eyes were half-closed, and he opened his mouth after a long time, "Through this letter and what Mingyue said to me, he told me a lot of information, first, this time there are two murderers, one Leading Boss Ling to the window, one murdered people on the other side of the lake, and Chef Huang was one of the murderers; second, the exact time of Boss Ling’s death is indeed between 2:30 and 4:00 in the afternoon.”
"He told me all these things. If I can't find another real culprit, I will look too stupid."
Yang Ye didn't know why, in such a tense atmosphere, seeing Gu Liang's serious look, he suddenly felt that Gu Liangliang was getting cuter and cuter.
Gu Liang looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Yang Yedao: "It's nothing. Together, we can definitely figure out what the problem is. After all, we are two people. We can't make both of us look stupid."
Gu Liang also laughed when he heard this, his brows loosened, and he immediately relaxed.
Gu Liang looked at the notebook from the beginning, and said: "Liang Service and Qian Liuyou secretly secretly planned to kill Boss Ling. As Qian Liuyou's apprentice, Wang Guyou would probably know about this plan. Apart from Wang Guyou, the most likely It's Chef Huang. He and Service Liang have been staying in this inn all the time, and he can easily detect any actions of Service Liang."
"Furthermore, at midnight for two consecutive days, Liang's service staff went to the fence to see money wandering around. On the night before Boss Ling's death, they discussed a specific plan."
"At midnight and zero o'clock, and there are rumors of 'recruiting ghosts', the chances of unsuspecting tourists going out are actually very small. Even if Wang Guhui is a ghost and Jia's girlfriend is a Taoist priest, they are wandering out in the middle of the night, and they just happen to go out. The possibility of going to the fence to hear all the details of the plan discussed by the Liang service and the money wanderer is actually very small."
"Thinking about it carefully, it is most likely that Liang Service and Money Wandering may have been aware of a conspiracy early in the morning, so I paid special attention to Liang Service's movements, and then followed and eavesdropped to know their complete plan...then Chef Huang is the most likely. He lives next door to Liang Service."
"In the end, Chef Huang has enough motives to kill Qianlang. Liang's service does not kill Qianlang. On the one hand, she likes Qianlang. On the other hand, she knows the inside story of Qianlang wanting to avenge his apprentice."
"However, Chef Huang does not meet these two conditions."
"In the eyes of Chef Huang, Qian Liulang is a Taoist priest who can kill even a powerful ghost like Boss Ling. After he kills Boss Ling, Bao Buqi will deal with him. It's too stupid for Liang Service to trust him. People and ghosts have different ways, let alone the other party Or a Taoist?"
After listening to Gu Liang's words, Yang Ye nodded in agreement.
Yang Ye only said: "The only question now is, how did he do all this? Who is the other murderer, and how did he cooperate with him?"
After a while, Gu Liang opened the notebook, turned to a new page, and said: "I think the thing that can still be ruled out is the beautiful service. Assuming she didn't lie, she went out at 2:10 in the afternoon and walked through the fence, bushes, In the woods, 20 minutes later, at 2:30, she arrived at the Dashi Bridge at the foot of the mountain, and I saw her. At 2:45, she reached the other side of the lake, and at 2:50, she found Qian wandering and dead."
"She stayed in the hut for about 5 minutes and left at 2:55. Assuming that the way she came back and her walking speed were the same as when she went there, then it was about 3 o'clock when she walked back to the stone bridge, but At this time, the fragrance on her body dissipated, and I didn't see her."
"It takes 15 minutes to cross the bridge, and the time she returns to the bottom of the mountain here is 3:15. Then, if it still takes 20 minutes to pass through the woods, bushes, and fences, then the time she returns to the inn is 3:35."
"We analyzed before that the murderer A who led Boss Bell to the window must also be the one who cleaned up the scene and moved the body to the woods. Then the murderer A must have taken Boss Bell's body to the woods at 3:35, and the service After leaving the woods and returning to the inn."
"Murderer A must have been watching at the inn. He saw everything that happened through the window, and he also watched the direction of Liang's service going to the woods. So he must wait for Liang's service to come back before he dared to go to the woods to throw the body."
Yang Yedao: "My room can't see the direction of the woods and the other side of the lake. Just now they were brainstorming, divergent thinking, and brainstorming. It doesn't matter how they brainstorm my story at that time, but if The formal discussion will begin in a while, if everyone still doubts me, I can use this to clear myself up."
Gu Liang nodded: "Yes, yes. This is very important. You can't see the situation in the forest, and many people have entered the forest one after another. The murderer must be able to see the detailed situation in the forest before he decides to throw his body Time. That must rule you out."
Gu Liang got up and walked outside. "Let's go, talk to everyone again. Let's see if they have any new progress."
In the discussion hall, everyone discussed for another two hours. Finally, everyone checked and found that the murderer was still only locked on Wang Guhui and Jia's girlfriend. After all, Yang Ye's statement of whitewashing himself convinced everyone.
In order to avoid making the discussion too chaotic, Gu Liang arranged for everyone to speak in turn.
When one player is speaking, the other players should not interrupt if it is not necessary, and they can wait until it is their turn to speak; of course, detectives are not subject to this restriction.
At present, the discussion has gone on for several rounds.
When it was Yang Ye's turn again, Yang Ye said: "According to what we said, the murderer must be able to see the woods through the window in the room. The woods and the thatched cottage on the other side of the lake are both in the north of the stilted building. The window of my room faces west. , it is impossible for me. Only a few people living in the middle 301-304 are possible."
"Senior Hua is a detective, Zhao Meili and Jia Youyou are human beings, it is impossible to go face to face and kill people, so indeed only Wang Guhui and Jia's girlfriend are left..."
"Wait." Gu Liang suddenly thought of the key, and stood up all of a sudden.
Yang Ye looked at him, reviewed what he said, and seemed to have discovered a certain key.
Gu Liang immediately took out a reward card and clicked the [Confirm Use] button.
This card is called [Concentrated Discussion Delay Card]. How to use it: After clicking Confirm, the duration of the concentrated discussion will be increased by one hour.
Then Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye: "Lend me to use your [Restart Exploration Area Card], I want to go to the scene of the crime again."
Yang Ye thought about it for a while, and understood Gu Liang's intentions. He took out this card, quickly clicked for confirmation, and walked to the door with Gu Liang, "I'll go and see it with you."
The two of them just pushed open the door of the restaurant, which is also the discussion room, when the public address rang. "The scene of the crime has been opened. However, players are prohibited from leaving the discussion room during the centralized discussion period. Players who leave without permission are violations and will be punished for violations. Due to the excessive number of violations by player Gu Liang, the punishment time is too long and will be postponed to the rest time. Players please consider carefully—”
The system just says that the player goes out now and will be punished after the game is over, but it does not completely prohibit the player from leaving.
Furthermore, for this violation, the system did not deprive the players of their voting rights, and even moved back the punishment, so that Gu Liang still had time to explain the truth to other players.
From this point of view, the system is actually quite friendly.
Originally, Gu Liang planned that if the system required him to finish the penalty before returning to the discussion room, and if his punishment time exceeded the remaining discussion time, he would just use the remaining delay card.
In addition to the one-hour delay card just now, he also has advanced delay cards, and there are more than one.
The advanced delay card can delay five hours at a time, and if Gu Liang has multiple cards, it is enough to cover his punishment time.
The only disadvantage of doing that is that it wronged the other players.
The discussion could have ended at 7 o'clock in the morning, but they had to stay here until Gu Liang's punishment was over.
But now the system actually moved the punishment to the rest time, allowing players to vote normally.
This is the first time that Gu Liang feels that the system is still friendly.
Therefore, after Gu Liang listened to the system's words, even Yang Ye had no time to stop him, so he immediately put a foot out of the door.
Yang Ye couldn't help but be serious, looking at Gu Liang with rare sharpness. "Gu Liang, it's fine if I go. It's the same if I go."
"You stay here, I can go by myself." When Gu Liang tried to push Yang Ye back, Yang Ye had already grabbed Gu Liang's hand and walked out. "Yang Ye, you don't have to—"
Yang Ye didn't speak, and just led Gu Liang towards the woods.
Along the way, by the light, seeing Yang Ye pursing his lips with a cold face, Gu Liang frowned and asked, "Are you angry? Why are you angry?"
Yang Ye only glanced at him, but still didn't speak.
Gu Liang said: "There is no need for two people to come here. If you insist on following, you will be punished when the time comes. Why bother?"
Yang Ye: "I should ask you this question. It's fine if I come. My punishment is very short. Why do you have to come by yourself?"
Gu Liang: "Because I am a detective this time."
You have to tell me so clearly
At this moment, the two had just reached the position of the fence.
Yang Ye stopped, took Gu Liang's wrist, and looked into his eyes.
All the emotions finally dissipated the moment he looked into Gu Liang's eyes.
Yang Ye finally let out a sigh, stepped forward and picked up Gu Liang, carried him to the outside of the fence, and turned over by himself.
"Hey, Yang Ye, your legs—"
"It's okay." Yang Ye pressed one hand on the fence, raised up from the waist down, easily passed the fence with two long legs, and then landed firmly. Of course, it still landed on one foot.
Outside the fence, Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye and asked, "You haven't answered me yet, were you angry just now? Are you still angry?"
Yang Ye finally rubbed his head: "Investigate the case first. We'll talk about other things later."
"Okay. But I still feel—"
"Just do it, I want to accompany you to be punished."
"You really don't have to—"
"Gu Liang, don't you just watch me sit and enjoy myself and make you suffer?"
Gu Liang: "..."
Yang Ye: "Let's solve the case."
Yang Ye and Gu Liang went deep into the woods from the mountainside where the inn was located, found the bottom of the mountain, and finally turned back.
This trip took them about an hour.
When the two turned back, everyone looked at them expectantly.
Gu Liang paid special attention to two people.
—One of them is, of course, Mingyue. Mingyue looked at Gu Liang's eyes and smiled faintly, the emotion in those eyes was still elusive to Gu Liang.
The other person that Gu Liang paid attention to was another real murderer that he and Yang Yegang confirmed.
The murderer remained silent, but the tight lines from his shoulders to his upper arms and forearms, as well as his lips pursed and the corners of his mouth slightly downward, clearly revealed his nervousness.
Gu Liang slightly exhaled and looked at Li Xiaoyu first. "Come to Xiaoyu. Let's go one-on-one."
After a while. In the one-on-one interrogation room, Li Xiaoyu looked at Yang Ye and Gu Liang expectantly, "Do you know the truth? Are you going to tell me alone, and then tell the rest of the players separately, and then everyone secretly vote?"
"Well." Gu Liang nodded, "Our thinking has always been correct. But we have fallen into a misunderstanding. We have been going around in a misunderstanding, so there has been no progress for a long time."
Li Xiaoyu asked: "Where is the misunderstanding?"
Gu Liangdao: "We call the murderer who went to the other side of the lake to kill the homeless man and then shot Boss Bell as 'Murderer B'. Murderer B must be a ghost, because we are sure that the only way to the other side of the lake is the stone bridge. These Both are true. But when we ruled out, we did it wrong.”
Li Xiaoyu thought for a while: "Jing Service and Chef Huang can be ruled out, so wouldn't we be left with lonely Wang?" I’m going to the other side of the lake in the future. But if we want to rule out the possibility of him colliding with Liang’s service, I have the final say, he has to leave after 3:30. Otherwise, it’s too risky for him to do this.”
"Then he went to the other side of the lake, it must be 4 o'clock."
"But we have dinner at 6 o'clock in the evening, and he has to prepare for at least 2 hours. His meal is indeed ready."
"Besides, we just checked the timeline at the back. At 4 o'clock, the waiter Liang could see him cooking, and confirmed with him the dishes for the evening."
"He doesn't seem to be in time—"
Gu Liang asked Li Xiaoyu: "Then what if he reached the other side of the lake before Liang served?"
Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. "However, at 2 o'clock, he first saw Jia's girlfriend entering Wang's lonely room, and then saw me coming out... He was right. He was at the inn at that time."
Gu Liang asked her again: "You didn't draw the curtains during the day, did you?"
Li Xiaoyu nodded: "Well, I'm afraid of mosquitoes. I'll go fishing with you in the morning, and open the windows a little wider to let in air. But in the afternoon, when I'm in the room, I close the windows, but don't draw the curtains."
Gu Liang: "That's right."
Li Xiaoyu: "...?"
Gu Liang explained: "There is a scope on the sniper rifle. He is on the other side, and he can completely see the timelines of everyone in your rooms 301 to 304."
Li Xiaoyu seemed to have figured it out, showing a shocked expression. "Fuck, so his own timeline is completely forged. He must be too courageous!"
Gu Liang shook his head: "He is a little courageous. But it is mainly because of his careful thinking."
Gu Liangdao: "I tried that scope, and it is very clear. Therefore, Chef Huang can clearly see what each of you are doing in the thatched hut where Qian wanders."
"At 2 o'clock, he could see Jia's girlfriend entering Wang's lonely room, and he could also see the two of them forming an formation together to trap Boss Ling."
"He could also see you leaving your room right away. But you went back to your room soon, maybe he even saw you holding the knife in your hand. So he can speculate that you should not have left the stilted building, probably Just went to class and came back.”
"Besides, he was very cautious when he said the timeline, giving us the illusion that he would leave immediately when he saw you push open the door of his room."
"After leaving the stilted building, he also claimed that he just took a look at the fence and then went back to the room. In fact, when he told me at the beginning, he didn't clearly say whether he saw you coming out of the inn building. Because he didn't dare to tell me Say hello."
"Including the time for Liang's service to climb over the fence. In fact, he didn't say clearly at the beginning that he couldn't kill him at 2:10. In fact, he said that he arrived at the stilted building at 1:50. After getting off the boss, I went to the third floor of the inn to see my girlfriend Jia and you. I told you about your timeline. On the way back, he indirectly mentioned the timeline for Liang’s service. But the time for Liang’s service is relatively vague of."
"This is because he can only see the time when the beautiful service appeared on the stone bridge in the thatched cottage, and then make a calculation. When she estimated to go out, but he is not so sure."
"If Liang's service denied it at that time, saying that he didn't go out until 2:20 and flew to the foot of the mountain, that's actually not his flaw. Because in his timeline, he didn't see Wang Guyao himself. This is why we speculated at the beginning that maybe only Girlfriend Jia and Boss Ling were in the room, and Girlfriend Jia forced Boss Ling to stand in front of the window, while Wang Guyou squatted in front of the scope in the thatched cottage opposite."
"Therefore, even if Liang Service denies that the voice over the fence was him, we can still put the voice on Wang Guhui."
"Actually, the only thing Mingyue needs to bet on is the timeline of Yang Ye, President Gao. If President Gao spends the afternoon in the courtyard basking in the sun, he won't be able to say that."
"But at lunch, President Gao said that he wanted to rest after climbing the mountain. Everyone heard that."
"Again, I think at 1:30 in the afternoon, Xiaoyu, after finishing the knife in the lobby, you heard the sound from the courtyard. It was from Chef Huang. He might be burying extra incense sticks. The one found below."
"So, Chef Huang was still at the inn at 1:30. After lunch, he watched President Gao go upstairs. This is an inn with a verandah-style building. He can see President Gao go back to his room to rest when he is in the yard. As for President Gao, he went downstairs just after sleeping for a while. So he dared to fake the timeline around 2 o'clock."
"In fact, I think that Chef Huang left the inn at around 1:30 and went to the other side of the lake. Liang's service was slow, and it took 40 minutes to reach the thatched cottage. But when I searched for evidence, I ran and also It took more than a quarter of an hour, less than 20 minutes."
"Therefore, Chef Huang leaves at 1:30, and can reach Qian Wai's thatched hut at 1:50. It is possible that after he kills Qian Wai, he appears in front of the scope and sees the situation in each of your rooms around 2 o'clock. "
"He doesn't need to complete the layout of the murder scene before 2 o'clock. He can always observe in the scope, and when he has a clear idea of your timeline, he can disguise Qian Wai as if he hanged himself."
"Probably after setting up the scene, through the window of the thatched cottage, he saw the figure of a beautiful servant appearing on the stone bridge, so he floated out of the house in the form of a ghost, and casually hid somewhere in the woods behind him."
"After Liang's service leaves, he will go back to the thatched cottage, stare in the direction of the inn through the scope, and wait for Boss Bell to appear in front of the window."
"Chef Huang can cook in the kitchen at 4 o'clock, and Liang's service leaves the thatched cottage at about 2:55. So the time for Chef Huang to start shooting is probably between 3 o'clock and 3:40."
Li Xiaoyu couldn't help asking: "Then why did he let Qian Liulang drink the wine with the sweat medicine?"
"Again, who can cooperate with him? I can't think of it!"
Gu Liang said: "Boss Ling's wish book, didn't you read it all carefully? Take it here now, turn to... it should be between 40 and 50 pages, I can't remember the specifics. You take it here, and I will find it for you." You see, you can understand—where Boss Ling went yesterday morning. In fact, she never disappeared at that time, but stayed with one of us."
