Something like a murder weapon must be pretty hard to find.
In this environment where fingerprints and DNA cannot be checked, a stone can be used as a hammer, and a needle can be washed away directly from the sewer without leaving any traces. Even if you are prepared in advance, you can even go out. Neither is needed.
"Mr. Dimitri also knows that in this situation, as long as the murderer wants to deal with it, the murder weapon will definitely not be found, right?" Zhai Jingqiu said.
"Well, yes, in the extreme it can indeed be handled, but it doesn't make sense if you don't search at all, right?" Dimitri said.
"What do you mean?" Kajabo asked, narrowing his eyes.
"The probability of someone from the annex building committing suicide is very low." Cynthia replied, "This is a very simple reason. On the heavy rainy day last night, the murderer had to go between the annex building and the main building. If he walked in the rain, he would need to get closer. It takes two hours to go back and forth, so the use of cars is indispensable, plus killing people-if the deaths of Escher and Pan Shen are included together, the murderer even has to go to multiple scenes to carry out murders, and there are so many things to do. In addition to the many traces that may be left at the scene, once the vehicle is used, it will inevitably leave records.”
"After we heard about what happened in the morning, we checked all the vehicles together." Huo Yinglong walked up to Kajiabo and stared at him seriously. "The conclusion is that, including the cars here in the main hall, yesterday It hasn’t been used again at night. Do you think it’s reasonable for us who live in the annex to come such a long way to kill people late at night and create such a scene?”
"Hmph, maybe you seem to have left, but in fact you didn't leave at all. You just turned around and came back waiting to kill someone." Kajabo grinned, "Impossible? Are you trying to distance yourself from your relationship? What's the matter? All of a sudden, there are no suspects among the fourteen people. Counting Rennix, half of the living people are immediately missing. Then you can judge us from a high position? Can you? Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, I tell you, If I am really determined to kill someone, let alone walking for two hours at night in the rain, I can kill him even if I walk for a day in a blizzard!"
"That's true." Gustave said calmly.
"Uncle Gustave?" Lanewood looked at him.
"Let me ask the detective... If we want to rule out suspicion, do we need to prove that it is completely impossible to do it? Reasons such as 'it is difficult to do so' or 'it is unreasonable to do so' cannot be used. To help people clear their names, because the murderer can use any seemingly unreasonable means to cover up his crimes in order to escape guilt," Gustave said.
Zhai Jingqiu nodded: "That's right, I agree with this."
"Wait, what if I can still find evidence of my alibi?" Dimitri suddenly raised his hand.
"You can tell," Lanewood said.
Dimitri smiled and looked at Lu Ning: "I felt a little bit in crisis last night, so I gave a receiver to Dr. Lu. The receiver will record the information from my transmitter, which is probably I can hear everything around me. I turned it on last night before going to bed, and Dr. Lu at the main library can obviously vouch for me with that."
Lu Ning went back to the room and took the receiver over. Following Dimitri's instructions, she turned on the playback function and increased the speed.
"I opened it at about eleven o'clock. There were probably still people awake in the main hall at that time. Can anyone prove that the servant was still alive at that time?" Dimitri asked.
"I, I met Ou Baizhi when I went out to make coffee at night." Kuzumi Pingzhen raised his hand.
"Okay, then this is my recorded message. Of course, most of it should be snoring. I snore a lot, but it can also reflect that I keep the transmitter next to me." Dimitri Said, "Basically, this night can prove that I am indeed there, and this transmitter will also check some of my physical information. If I walk to the main hall in the middle of the night and kill someone, my heart rate will always change after such a strenuous activity. Big, right?"
After a quick look at the information recorded last night, it turned out that just as Dimitri said, he did sleep until dawn.
"So I have an alibi, everyone," Dimitri announced.
"Humph, since you gave it to the doctor in advance, maybe this information can be disguised in advance. Anyway, the one who sent the signal is on your side..." Kagabo muttered, but his words were obviously not convincing, and most people still I believed this alibi.
"Since everyone believes in me, I think you might as well listen to my command today?" Dimitri said.
Strangely, Dimitri was not so active in the last round.
"I think everyone should move to the main hall today." Dimitri said immediately when he saw no one objected.
"Are you crazy?" Kagabo couldn't help but said.
"Dimitri, this is not a good idea..." Yin Tengjunfu said quickly, "After all, the person who killed last night was probably in the main building. Why do we have to live here..."
"I seem to understand what you want to do." Cynthia crossed her arms, "But I don't think it's necessary."
"Hahaha, as long as we stay together, how can the murderer dare to kill easily? On the contrary, living in a place like the annex is the most disturbing thing. Since you have said it, if someone is willing to walk so long on a rainy night to kill someone, , I feel a little uneasy now."
"Uneasy, haha." Felicia sneered, "We shouldn't get confused, Dimitri."
"Yes, but I agree with Dimitri's idea." Lanewood said, "And we should gather now and send people to keep watch until the murderer shows his flaws and is caught by us. We can't relax at all."
If this is the increase in scene difficulty prompted by the rules... the increase is quite dramatic.
Originally, the tourists planned to make a peaceful transition, but as a result, the people in the scene started killing them faster than the tourists; and the rest of the people immediately became more vigilant, unlike the first round where they each found reasons to go back. Even the decisions of these two parties have adversely affected tourists at the same time.
With the support of Lenwood, Gustav and several other people who had more say, this proposal was actually passed.
Then there is Dimitri's arrangement. He actually knows what the bottom line of everyone's tolerance is, and he can also make arrangements on the line of the majority. Whether it is searching for the murder weapon, filming the scene or asking alone, in the end he is Passed.
"Then there's another question." Lu Ning raised her hand, "What about cooking?"
"Ah, if you don't mind eating barbecue, that's fine with me." Dimitri said with a smile, "But if it's other dishes, I won't cook it. After all, I'm not a professional chef."
"Just get something to eat." Cynthia pulled Dolores to sit down. "Why do you care so much about food at this time? Without a chef, I am still worried about someone poisoning the food. Pan Shen himself He was poisoned to death, right?"
"Can you tell what kind of poison Pan Shen was poisoned with?" Huo Yinglong asked Lu Ning.
"Something like poisoning requires an autopsy to give accurate results." Lu Ning said helplessly, "And I said I'm not a professional forensic doctor anymore. I'm pretty good at examining trauma, so don't expect death from poisoning."
As a nutritionist, Watanabe Fuchiko can still cook, but surprisingly, Enwood and Milia also went to the kitchen together. The food was all frozen food and canned food, and it was not very tasty. After eating, everyone started to form a team to search for the murder weapon and clues as agreed.
Almost as a matter of course, there was no suspected murder weapon to be found.
As for the subsequent individual questioning, it was Dimitri who did it. Lu Ning's chat with him only re-described what happened last night. She saw that Dimitri had prepared a notebook to record the information in a serious manner. , but she doesn’t have high hopes for what results these can deduce.
Because even Lu Ning can't think of anyone who can kill so many people in one go.
Even if the tourist plays a certain role, the personality shift will not be that drastic. On the first night of the last round, almost all the tourists did it. Although no one said who killed them because of their own abilities, they basically acquiesced in this.
So this round, who would want to kill all the servants?
If we look at it from a comparative perspective, one possibility that can be considered is that in the last round, the killings of tourists happened to kill the murderer who was supposed to kill all the servants tonight, so this did not happen. In this case, the scope of the murderer will be greatly reduced.
Felicia, Juno Into, Arisa Saotome, and Huo Yinglong are very likely, and Schritt is also possible.
The only thing that worries Lu Ning is that this thinking logic is too logical for tourists, and it looks like a clear trap when placed in the scene. If you really only think in this direction, you may ignore other issues.
She could take Howard's legacy step by step, but she could never make a mistake in this murder judgment.
After going back and forth, it was night and everyone except Rennix and Yin Asong were gathered in the hall.
"Everyone, I think we should sleep together as much as possible tonight, and then arrange for someone to be on duty at night." Dimitri said, "My suggestion is to divide them into four groups."
"It doesn't matter, as long as Delores and I are together." Cynthia said.
"Well, it's best for those of us who came together not to separate." Felicia also said, "To be honest, in this situation, Subobia trusts me more than others."
"Don't worry, I won't make your stay uncomfortable. It's just... taking into account some other factors, I made a list for everyone to take a look at."
Dimitri pulled out a piece of paper.
Mr. and Mrs. Lanewood, Mr. and Mrs. Yin Tengjun, plus Felicia and Superbia.
Cynthia, Dolores, Lu Ning, Watanabe Fuchiko, Shinmiya Asaka, Justina and Mayuri Daida are in a group.
Dimitri, Huo Yinglong, Kanzaki Takaya, Gustav, Lian Qingyi, Kajiabo and Schlitt were in a group.
Orlando, Kuzumi Heizhen, Han Xizhe, Makailov, Yu Guiting and Yuanguji Sora are in the same group.
"We have more people here, so we will use the room in the small living room. Come to Enwood, you will live in the temporary servants' room on the first floor near the stairs. Ladies can live in the reading room on the second floor. Finally, Mr. Orlando, you You can live in the entertainment room on the third floor." Dimitri arranged. "Although an ordinary bedroom can accommodate so many people, the problem with the bedroom is that it is too crowded. If someone really risked his life to kill someone, it would People cannot be guarded, and privacy in the bedroom is also a problem. These rooms are relatively large. If you are not used to multiple people sleeping together, you can also draw a curtain. In this extraordinary period, please bear with me. "
"Okay," Lanewood said.
Now that he has spoken, it is useless for others to object, so we might as well just make the arrangement.
"Also, prepare some food and water and put them in the room." Dimitri reminded, "In case the situation is really out of control, we can't be stuck by the problem of food shortage."
No food? What problem could make Dimitri think of such a thing?
After everyone worked together to clean up, four rooms were ready around 8pm.
"Everyone can have some dinner, and then pay attention to the night watchers. We still have a lot of coffee to ensure that everyone is awake." Dimitri encouraged everyone, and then after a dinner that was about the same as noon, they went back to their own homes. Arrived at the room.
On Lu Ning's side, not long after returning to the room, Cynthia put her ear to the door and listened.
"Is there any sound?" Watanabe Fuchiko asked.
"No, I just want to see if everyone has gone to bed." Cynthia sneered, "At this time, I don't believe in anyone's arrangements, I only believe in myself."
"Do you want to say that we are dangerous, sister?" Mayuri Daida asked.
"Is it your own idea to separate from Kanzaki Takaya?" Cynthia asked.
"Yes, I don't trust that man." Mayuri Daida's expression immediately turned gloomy. "Although he looks honest, who knows what his plans are behind the scenes? A poor man is planning on my property."
Cynthia didn't bother to care about Mayuri Daida's character. She listened outside the door again and said, "Girls, I won't say anything else. In case someone takes this opportunity to gather the murderers in one place, and then kill them one after another at night." , I think we are still in great danger. In this case, why not we also take some precautions."
"Is there any good way?" Lu Ning asked.
"I know where my father keeps his guns. Two people will come back with me to get the weapons. Only with these things can we have the capital to negotiate terms." Cynthia straightened up and said to everyone.
Of course, everyone agreed to this kind of thing. Lu Ning signed up, followed Cynthia and Delores to the weapons collection room, and got guns and bullets from there. He didn't meet anyone on the way. It was very strange. smoothly.
But... on the first day someone got a gun, and they were clearly divided into four groups.
Lu Ning intuitively felt that the direction of this round of plot might be completely different from the first round.
