"Ding, the first round of clue collection has begun."
"Please each player tell me a clue you saw in the plot."
"Start with the last player on the right side of the table and rotate counterclockwise to begin the explanation."
The last player on the right side of the table is the yellow-haired boy.
I saw that the yellow-haired boy was so angry at this student from Heigou City that he was speechless. His face was red and he was panting. Obviously, if it weren't for the fact that the map stipulated that players could not fight with each other in the map, it is estimated that the next second I'm about to rush forward!
After taking several deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, he sat on the chair and spoke every word with a gloomy expression.
"I don't have any clues."
"I spent the entire plot hiding in a closet in a study. I could only see an old man's corpse in the gap at the bottom of the closet, but there was no other information."
"Can't see anything."
"But you can hear footsteps ringing intermittently in the study. No matter who the murderer is, it can't be me anyway."
"That's not necessarily the case."
The boy wearing glasses and dressed as a student tightened his collar with a casual expression: "The plot we have seen has gaps. You just saw yourself hiding in the study closet."
"But why hide in there?"
"Could it be that after killing someone, he was preparing to escape, but found that it was too late, and then hid in the closet?"
"fart!!"
Hearing this, the yellow-haired boy finally got up angrily and pointed at the student wearing glasses and shouted angrily: "I've been putting up with you for a long time, why are you pretending to be stupid here?"
"It's fun to spit on people, isn't it?"
"I think you are the murderer. Otherwise, why would you keep focusing on me? Isn't it just that you want to eliminate someone quickly and leave enough space for yourself?"
"alright."
at this time.
The middle-aged man in a suit sitting next to the yellow-haired boy was still leaning on the back of the chair, his expression was not very good, and he said with his eyes closed tightly.
"My plot is like a gardener who is pruning branches in a villa. In my plot, I only heard a quarrel in the study."
"The curtains blocked the scene in the study. It was a bit far away. I didn't see or hear what happened."
"But I saw a man walking into the study carrying a medieval candlestick, and then there was a quarrel in the study."
"That person is him."
The middle-aged man who had been closing his eyes suddenly opened his eyes and pointed the finger at the yellow-haired boy sitting next to him: "In the plot, your appearance will replace the character's appearance. This boy's yellow hair is very conspicuous, and he doesn't even know it." You need to see it seriously.”
Before the yellow-haired boy could say anything.
A girl wearing a suspender skirt sitting next to this middle-aged man suddenly said in realization, "No wonder!"
"My identity should be the daughter of the deceased. I took some cakes from the kitchen for my father to eat. About half an hour later, I was going to go to my father's study to get the cakes, but I saw my father dead in a pool of blood."
"There was a big wound on the head, and there was a bloody candlestick next to it."
"That is to say."
The girl's voice gradually weakened. Although the following words were not stated clearly, the meaning was already obvious, and the target was directed at Huang Mao.
However, his eyes seemed to be casually scanning all the players present.
He paused for a little longer on Chen Yi, and then looked away.
For a moment——
Everyone looked at Huang Mao, the last person on the right side of the table.
Witnesses and physical evidence are all in place.
Who is the murderer? Needless to say?
Chen Yi did not raise his head, but continued to eat the steak in front of him with a serious expression. He was the only one in the audience who was eating the steak seriously.
He didn't know why the others didn't eat.
Anyway, it’s just idle time, so it’s better to have a meal.
But when the girl started to tell about how she delivered cakes to the deceased in the study, Chen Yi, who was lowering his head to eat, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, chuckled and said nothing.
This girl must be the girl who met him in the study room.
There are two very interesting points.
The girl’s last words were——
"That is to say."
There should be another sentence after this sentence, which means that the yellow-haired boy is the murderer. Although it is not said directly, everyone understands the meaning behind this sentence.
But, why not just say it directly?
He prefers one possibility.
That is, this girl dare not say it.
Why don't you dare to say it?
Because of the August rule.
In other words, this girl also suspects that she may be the murderer in her heart, and she does not dare to say that she identifies others as the murderer, otherwise she will violate the August rule.
Although there are three fault-tolerance opportunities in the August rules, no one is willing to consume this fault-tolerance opportunity unless it is a special situation. This month has just begun.
Even if they know the existence of the hell map, no one is willing to immigrate to hell.
Interesting second point.
Although he didn't raise his head, he still felt that the girl glanced at the players present after she finished speaking, which meant that the girl knew that what she said would be heard by interested people.
She is looking for a companion.
She was in the same frame as her in a plot, which meant that when the girl entered the house to remove the desserts, she knew there was someone in the house, or she noticed something moving in the house.
While the girl suspected that she was the murderer, she also wondered if the murderer was someone else.
The real gameplay of this map.
Not to find the murderer.
But to determine whether he is the real murderer.
Chen Yi put the last piece of steak into his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look at the other girl wearing a palace dress next to him.
"If you don't want to eat it, give it to me."
"Huh? Ah, okay, you can eat."
"Thanks."
Chen Yi picked up the girl's steak, put it into his arms without any courtesy, and continued to eat it. He was not hungry, just a little bored.
If you have nothing to do, why not have something to eat.
And at this time——
Other players have already initiated voting.
"Ding, three or more players have agreed to start voting."
"Starting the first round of voting in this round, players are asked to vote to decide the murderer in your mind."
"Player 1."
"Player 1."
"Player 10."
As soon as the voting started, two players voted for the yellow boy, player No. 1.
But there was also a player who voted for player No. 10, Chen Yi, and the voter was the girl who just said that she went into the study to pack desserts.
"I"
The yellow-haired boy was sitting on the back of the chair with a pale face, and his mind was constantly thinking about the whole plot. He really didn't expect that he turned out to be the murderer.
How can you argue with this?
This map is a dead end!
From his perspective, he didn't see the process of killing himself at all, so he naturally felt that he was a good person.
But soon other players said that they saw him carrying a candlestick and quarreling with the deceased. They also saw a blood-stained candlestick on the pool of blood of the deceased lying on the ground.
How to wash?
There's no way to wash it.
He himself wanted to fucking surrender, could he give him a consolation prize if he surrendered?
Does this map have to be so difficult? Doesn’t it mean that the passes that can be sold in shopping malls are not very difficult?
Oh, the difficulty is indeed not very high.
It is indeed not difficult for a good player. Only three or four people spoke to him before he found the murderer. But for a player like him who is a murderer, it is not too difficult.
The yellow-haired boy leaned back on the chair with a desperate look on his face, closed his eyes tightly and said nothing, just waiting patiently for the end of the map.
No more acting, he admitted it.
"how?"
The boy wearing glasses and dressed as a student sitting opposite the yellow-haired boy elegantly cut off a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. After chewing it slowly for a long time, he wiped the grease around his mouth with a handkerchief and said softly.
"Now do you dare to say four times that I am not a murderer?"
"Have you realized that the August rule prohibits lying and the difference between idealism and materialism?"
"Foolish dogs also come to pack garlic."
"I vote for player 1."
"Ding, 3 players voted for player No. 1, 1 player voted for player No. 10, and the remaining 6 players abstained from voting."
"Player No. 1 has the most votes and is out!"
"Player No. 1 is not the murderer. The game continues. You still have two chances to vote. Please use them with caution."
"Um?"
The student wearing glasses was slightly startled, his brows furrowed and he asked in confusion: "This yellow hair is not the murderer?"
Everyone present was obviously confused. After all, all the evidence just pointed to Huang Mao. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
"wrong."
At this time, the old man who was separated from the woman in a sling, also known as Player 5, looked at Player 3 with a serious face and shook his head: "You concealed some information. Since you entered the house and saw the deceased, why didn't you react at all? ?”
"I clearly saw you dumping a plate of pastries into the trash can in the backyard. I asked you where it came from, and you said it was something I didn't like, so I took it out of the study."
"This is unconscionable."
"You didn't have any fear at the time, and you didn't reveal that I didn't like this dessert."
"oh."
Player No. 3, who was wearing a suspender skirt, nodded without any panic: "Because I saw a player hiding behind the curtain in the study room."
"So I didn't say anything because I was worried about alerting the murderer and getting myself killed."
"Perhaps you are also curious why I voted for player No. 10 just now."
"The answer is simple. When I entered the study, I saw someone hiding behind the curtains. Although the person was hiding very quietly, I still noticed that the person was wearing a pair of black rain boots."
"Just now I lay down under the table and took a look. Only player No. 10 was wearing rain boots."
"I believe the answer is pretty clear, right? Since the yellow guy from Player 1 is not the murderer, he can only be Player 10."
All players' attention shifted to Chen Yi again.
His eyes were full of suspicion.
This is almost point-to-point questioning.
