Jian Jing killed two birds with one stone. The colleague who was watching Elena asked the question repeatedly many times during the 7 minutes from 10:38 to 10:45.
However, Elena's attitude was perfunctory. She either said "I've already said that" or "I was drunk and can't remember clearly." In short, she didn't give a definite answer.
Jian Jing was not in a hurry either, as she had already guessed Yaoyao's method. As long as she got the murder weapon, it wouldn't matter if the mystery of the room was not solved. Therefore, she was calm and composed, and fought with Elena.
Once she got into the state of solving a case, her usual indolent social attitude suddenly changed. Infinite energy surged in her body, and her socializing ability increased steadily. She could talk about everything from makeup to food and movies, and her patience was particularly high.
Elena was caught off guard.
In her impression, Jian Jing has aloof and self-centered personality. She will pay attention to you if she wants to, and will be too lazy to pay attention to you if she doesn't want to. She is arrogant and spoiled, and very easy to deal with.
But this time, she was totally unlike herself. Her attitude was so sincere, as if she had opened up to him over just a few glasses of wine.
Elena felt uncomfortable at first, but then she thought that she had a good relationship with Si Yingjie, which might be a breakthrough. She thought of paving the way for retreat and slowly stopped talking.
Seeing this, Jian Jing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was particularly motivated to solve the case, social charm was not something that could be solved by exploding the universe. So, unfortunately, she cheated again.
This is the limited edition card I won at the beauty salon in June.
[Name: Limited Card Charm]
[Description: Choose any ability from "Appearance" or "Temperament" to enhance]
[Note: Choose one of the two, basic enhancement +50%, basic interval 3 hours/day, 0 hours refresh per day, can use courage value to occasionally increase the degree of enhancement, +50% costs 5 hours, +1 hour costs 5 hours; special contribution value can be used to increase the start of the project]
All in all, it is similar to the Five Senses Card, except that the Charm Card only has two items.
To enhance the appearance, I put on a super low-key makeup. The facial features remain unchanged, the beauty value soars, and the temperament and charm are more mysterious, including but not limited to being able to easily gain the sensitivity/trust of others.
Well, the target is not limited to humans.
Petting cats and dogs is effective (crossed out).
She used the charm card to enhance her charm, and then chatted with Elena crazily and persuaded her to drink, finally getting her drunk. Meanwhile, the new bottle of absinthe was almost empty.
With her alcohol tolerance, it would be strange if she got drunk last night.
Even now, Jian Jing firmly believes that Elena still retains a bit of clarity.
Then, it was time to show off their acting skills.
Elena pretended to be drunk first, and Jian Jing stood up shakily, took a blanket to cover her, and fell on a single chair with her back to the door, seeming to be neither asleep nor awake.
There was a heavy storm outside, with heavy rain pouring down. The typhoon blew through the villa, making a terrifying sound.
Such terrible weather would be disturbing even on normal days, not to mention that there was an inexperienced person around. It would be a lie to say that Jian Jing had no fear in her heart.
But gradually, she realized that what Zong Xunmei said was true.
—Elena is not scary.
On the surface, her background is mysterious, and she seems to have a hidden agenda in marrying Si Yingjie. She hides a gun in her safe, as well as mysterious pills. She has the temperament of a spy movie heroine. Especially her sexiness, comparable to Alice in "Resident Evil".
However, if she was really that powerful, why would she give in step by step
Elena perfunctorily pretended to sleep with her, but did not take any more decisive action. But tonight was stormy and more suitable for committing a crime than a dark and windy day.
Doesn't she want to? I'm afraid she can't.
Elena was also afraid of her.
Thinking of this, Jian Jing didn't feel so scared anymore—she herself had no intimidating power, and the people who could be promoted because of her were probably only slightly better than her.
As long as he can hold her back tonight and wait until the typhoon passes, and let Kang Mucheng take Si Yingjie away, he will have nothing to worry about.
Jian Jing figured out the cause and effect, became calmer, and closed her eyes to rest.
The clock struck two-thirty in the morning.
In the middle of the night, one feels most sleepy and sleeps most soundly.
Elena opened her eyes quietly. She moved cautiously, pinching the thin blanket and quietly pulling it apart, then slowly stood up, her vague eyes sweeping across the room.
After getting used to the dim vision in the room, I went upstairs barefoot.
Jian Jing was wondering whether she would go out, but within two minutes, she came down, walked to her side, and gently called out, "Sister Jian."
According to the script, she should be fast asleep at this moment, letting Elena do whatever she wants, and then following her to find out her real purpose.
But Jian Jing didn't want to take any risks.
Elena had a gun, and if she was forced into a corner, what if she hurt other people? So, Elena followed the routine and tried to ask a question, and Jian Jing pretended to wake up and opened her eyes in a daze: "Elena?"
In the darkness, Elena's expression was too much to be concealed, and she froze like a stone statue. After a while, she found her voice again: "You fell asleep, be careful not to catch a cold."
Jian Jing rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking outside. Blue-purple lightning flashed across the night sky, and the sea surface was surging, as if it would hit the roof at any time and swallow everyone into the sea.
She was half-seriously surprised: "It's so windy, won't anything happen here?"
"No, this place won't be directly exposed to the typhoon. The cliffs will block most of the wind." Elena's acting skills recovered.
Jian Jing couldn't hide her worries, and looked at the grass and trees that were blown down by the wind: "I didn't expect the wind to be so strong. I'm afraid people walking outside will be blown away, right?"
Her worries were unfounded. Many people were injured by the wind when traveling during a typhoon. It was not reasonable for Elena to just drive her away.
Perhaps, she herself was not sure about going out at this time.
Elena secretly sighed at her bad luck.
However, she was already used to this kind of situation. If one plan failed, she would come up with another one. She immediately came up with a new plan: "Don't go back. Wait until the rain stops and then we can talk."
Jian Jing was surprised that everything went so smoothly, and she looked unhappy: "Sorry to bother you."
"You're welcome. I'm so happy to have someone to chat with me." Elena paused and reminded him intentionally or unintentionally, "Time always goes by so fast when I'm chatting with you. It was like this yesterday and it's the same today."
Jian Jing hummed and met her gaze.
The ferocious lightning meandered down, instantly illuminating the room.
A faint smile appeared on Elena's lips.
After the typhoon passed, the island was in a mess, with the ground covered with red. The sky was extremely clear, a flowing, semi-transparent blue, extremely touching.
Unfortunately, the sunlight was too strong and we could only enjoy the beautiful scenery for a few minutes before being forced back into the shade.
Jian Jing got up early in the morning and woke up Kang Mucheng first to ask about what happened last night.
Kang Mucheng said that Axu, Yaoyao and Si Yingjie had been drinking and chatting, but due to the heavy wind and rain, they were not allowed to go back. It was not until this morning that they returned to their rooms to rest.
"Boss Kang, you really helped me a lot." Jian Jing was extremely happy and said immediately, "I hope I can solve Yang Xiao's murder case before the police arrive. This matter has become a big deal... Alas."
At this moment, the tragic ending of the story was obvious, and she had no choice but to do it.
The person in Room 6 seemed to realize his fate the moment he opened the door, his face pale, "Why did Miss Jian die so early?"
Jian Jing looked at Lin Yao.
Yang Xiao was capable and cheerful, Elena was sexy and charming, and Coach Yin was vigorous and fit, all of them were beauties with their own characteristics. Only Lin Yao, although she was also fair-skinned and beautiful, like a doll, still lacked an impressive brilliance.
"I want to talk to you before the police come." Jian Jing replied.
Lin Yao bit her lip and said, "I don't understand."
"No, you know it, because the person who killed Yang Xiao was you," she said.
Lin Yao said: "Please don't slander me, Xiaoxiao is my friend."
"She was also your love rival." Jian Jing said objectively, "Jealousy overcame friendship, and you killed her."
"You have no evidence to prove that I killed Xiaoxiao. How could I have killed her?" Lin Yao said coldly, "I was with Elena the whole day. I had no time and no way to kill anyone. Or do you want to say that I poisoned her when I sent her back to her room?"
Jian Jing said calmly: "Maybe you thought about doing this, but you didn't find the opportunity to do it."
Lin Yao wanted to say something else, but she cut herself off and said to herself: "Room, room is the most useful alibi, and it is also the easiest evidence to tamper with."
"Your alibi has three points. At 10:30 your phone rang, at 10:40 you were at the bar, and at 10:43 Elena saw the room. There are too many pieces of evidence. It seems perfect, but it's not." Jian Jing hit the nail on the head, "You're just lucky."
Lin Yao pursed her lips tightly, as if trying hard to suppress her rebuttal.
"At first, I thought it was a matter of 13 minutes. Your phone and your alarm are easy to manipulate. But if I think about it carefully, it's too risky. If Elena looks at the time in the middle, the plan will not succeed. It is more likely that you secretly modified the clock on Elena's phone.
"Smartphones are automatically calibrated to the local time, but I've been to an observatory where there's no signal. You only need to change the time once, dial it forward 10 minutes, and then return to a room with signal, and the phone will automatically calibrate, so you don't need to do anything to correct it."
Jian Jing pointed out her method of committing the crime: "This way you will have enough time to kill someone. When you go back, find a way to let Elena see the phone, and then you can let her be your witness."
"What you said is just speculation." Lin Yao said, "Where is the evidence? Is there my fingerprint on Elena's phone?"
Jian Jing smiled: "No, fingerprints don't mean anything. The phone itself is not important evidence. The key that can prove you killed Yang Xiao is the murder weapon."
There was a slight change on Lin Yao's face. The muscles on her cheeks tightened slightly, making her soft cheeks more contoured.
"I went through your room several times and didn't find any traces of the murder weapon. And you dared to commit the crime in your own bathroom. Obviously, you were well prepared and chose a weapon that was suitable for disassembly."
Jian Jing paused, exhaled slowly, and said slowly: "I recalled every detail of your room over and over again, and finally found a clue. At that time, the sweater placed on your bed was very small. It was not for people, but for pets, right?"
Lin Yao smiled faintly, as if to ask "That's it?", and said: "I founded a stray dog protection center. Is it weird to knit sweaters for pets?"
"It's not surprising, but since you took in stray dogs, it's not surprising that you use a blowpipe to anesthetize them, right?" Jian Jing asked back.
Lin Yao suddenly fell silent.
"I'm not familiar with this thing. I just checked it out after the network was restored." Jian Jing picked up her phone and read the list, "The production method of the blowpipe anesthesia device requires the following tools: stainless steel tube, disposable syringe, rubber band, needle..."
Lin Yao interrupted her, looking impatient: "Do you see this thing in my room?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the rubber band is hidden in your pile of hair accessories, and the stainless steel pipe..." She stretched out her hand and pushed Lin Yao, who was blocking the kitchen door intentionally or unintentionally, and grabbed the mop that was thrown aside, "It should be here."
