"So what you are saying is that Zhang Dacai and Huang Wenbiao are not accomplices in this matter?" Li Qiang asked.
Qi Zhen nodded.
"Yes, I suspect that Zhang Dacai didn't know what Huang Wenbiao wanted to do from beginning to end. He was just being used."
"But we still don't know why Li San left, and why he knocked me unconscious." Yu Liang wondered.
The key point of the bold hypothesis is naturally the word bold. Qi Zhen did not hold back anymore, but continued to follow the train of thought and put forward her own conjecture.
"Suppose Lin Xiao said something to Li San while changing rooms with Li San, and Li San became concerned about Lin Xiao's behavior or whereabouts, and then he happened to see two people after changing rooms. The shadow left along the rear window. Perhaps he was still hesitating at that time whether to chase him out or alert his teammates. However, while he was hesitating, another figure climbed out of the window from the same place. Think about it, he will How to do it?"
Several people thought carefully based on their understanding of Li San and found that, as Qi Zhen said, if Li San made this choice in this situation, this would be almost the most likely conclusion.
If no one else can think of any other possibilities, then for them this is the only conclusion.
This conclusion is consistent with Li San's character and makes logical sense given the current situation.
"That man in white, I always feel that his appearance and disappearance are a bit inexplicable." Jiang Yan added.
"Actually, it's not inexplicable." Qi Zhen shook her head.
"What do you say?" Li Qiang asked, and the others looked at Qi Zhen with puzzled faces.
"If we want to figure this out, we need to look beyond the problem itself."
"If we regard the entire event as part of the system task, then when the event occurs, we can think that the trigger points of all tasks are in this inn."
"So, if we do not regard the disappearance of the two people as an individual incident, but regard all the people who appear here as influencing factors of the overall mission, then the unusual aspects of the entire inn will become logical. "Qi Zhen said.
"Is there anything else unusual?" Yu Liang asked.
"We now believe that our guess is infinitely close to the truth, and we understand the causes and consequences of Lin Xiao and Li San's disappearance. Then if we think about it further, there is actually still one of the biggest doubts that has not been solved."
"That's why Lin Xiao followed the woman out of the inn and was in such a hurry?"
"That woman met our team by chance. Why did she find Lin Xiao?"
"Let's not think about the reasons why Lin Xiao is so interested in that woman. Let's just talk about which woman's point of view, what is her motivation?"
"Is it related to the man in white?" Jiang Yan asked.
After Qi Zhen's analysis, several people were quite willing to clear the clouds and see the blue sky.
Yes, this is a game, and you must not think about problems according to the logic of ordinary people's lives.
In the real world, suppose you come to a hotel with four rooms occupied, and something in one of the rooms is stolen that night, or someone is killed, or any unusual case occurs. , then there is a high probability that it has nothing to do with the residents of the other three rooms.
But in the world of Conan and the world view of many games, comics and movies, if this incident occurs, the people in the other three rooms will definitely be the most likely suspects to commit the crime. Even if they did not do it, It must be inextricably linked to the event itself.
If you can think about the whole thing that happened in the inn with this kind of thinking, then the appearance of the man in white makes perfect sense.
"Whether that woman is escaping from her enemies, evading debts, or simply being tracked by the man in white because of her cheating, she is running away, and the man in white is here to look for her, which also explains why she wants to I was eating alone upstairs, why didn’t I see anyone else after I moved in?”
"Then she saw us... No, what I should say is that we witnessed this episode as bystanders, and Lin Xiao, for some unknown reason, was attracted to the woman and started to protect the flowers. .”
Jiang Yan glared at Qi Zhen.
"Don't glare at me, I can't think of any other reason at the moment..." Qi Zhen smiled awkwardly, but suddenly froze.
"What's wrong with you? Keep talking." Yu Liang reminded Qi Zhen when he saw that she was in a daze.
"Did you think of anything else?" Li Qiang asked.
Qi Zhen reacted, shook her head, and continued her analysis: "Perhaps because of the plot, or for other reasons, the woman learned that the man in white had been following her, and in order to ask for help, she found Li San who had already swapped rooms with her. Lin Xiao."
"I don't know how she persuaded Lin Xiao, and the two immediately left the inn through the back window. When Li San saw the two leaving and was still hesitating whether to alert his teammates, the man in white might have followed him at that time. .”
"Until Huang Wenbiao entered the house to search and then left, Li San could not wait any longer and had no choice but to leave without alerting anyone and chased after him."
"In other words, Lin Xiao left late at night in order to help the beautiful woman, followed by the man in white, and then Huang Wenbiao, who coveted Li San's money or belongings but mistakenly mistook Lin Xiao for Li San and chased away. Finally, it was possible that he was not at all Li San understands why things happened, or only understands a small part of Lin Xiao." Yu Liang finally made a descriptive summary.
"The generalization ability is quite strong, but there is no prize." Meng Ran said.
The reason for pretending to be relaxed is naturally because it is not easy.
It was almost noon. Logically speaking, Li San's whereabouts were the weirdest, and he fell at the very rear of the other four people. Logically speaking, no matter what happened, he should be able to escape and come back as soon as possible to seek help.
So what was holding him back, or how far did they run along the way?
If we count from the time when the two people were discovered to have disappeared, it has been nearly three hours now. Even if the girl's footsteps were slower, she would have walked thirty kilometers at the speed of ordinary people.
What's more, Qi Zhen never thought that there would be any ordinary people in the missions her team encountered.
So the next question is, how to find these two people, or whether to find them?
Seeing Qi Zhen's solemn expression, everyone had a bad premonition, but as a whole team, unified thinking is more important than anything else in many cases.
"Okay, the first thing we have to think about now is whether we should accept the mission provided by the system." Qi Zhen's tone was a little low.
"Damn! Qi Zhen, what do you mean?!" Yu Liang immediately started arguing.
"It literally means that two people are missing now. We don't have any clues except Zhang Dacai downstairs. And I guess that following him may be a key step for us to continue to complete this mission, so I want to ask you, we Do you want to complete this mission or not?”
"Stop talking to me about the mission. If you have something to say, just make it clear!" Yu Liang was extremely angry and even wanted to shout.
"Okay, let me make it clear. If you don't look for them, two of them will die. If you look for them, they may all be wiped out. You think about it for yourself." Qi Zhen stared into his eyes without retreating at all.
"I really regret becoming teammates with you now. In my heart, the moment they disappeared was when the mission had begun. We had no choice at all. You can say such things now, which really disappoints me." It's too late!" Yu Liang rarely cursed, but from the veins on his forehead and the white-knuckled fists, you could tell that he was on the verge of losing control.
Yu Liang took two deep breaths, calmed down his turbulent emotions, and said softly: "I decided to follow that Zhang Dacai to complete the mission and find Lin Xiao and Li San."
"Do you know what the consequences of what you said are?" Jiang Yan looked at Qi Zhen and slowly spoke, "That is, I will never trust my back to someone like you."
She ignored the bitter expression on Qi Zhen's face and stood next to Yu Liang.
When a choice appears in front of them, everyone will instinctively make a decision that is in line with their own values at the moment, regardless of right or wrong.
When the matter does not concern oneself, such as what happened on Taihu Lake, everyone has different views and opinions on how to deal with the lake bandits.
Once it involves people or things that you care about, there will be conflicts in fundamental positions and ideas. This is the thing that affects unity the most.
"My opinion is not to look for them and wait here for another day. If there is still no news about them, then we will follow the established route to Wuhu and pass through Chaohu to Luzhou."
"We can stay one more day in every town along the way, but that's it. If we still can't wait for them in Luzhou, then I will choose to continue speeding to Shushan."
Qi Zhen's bitter and helpless expression just now was gone, and he said expressionlessly.
"How can you be so cold?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Every adult must bear the consequences for his own impulses and actions, no matter whether the results are good or bad, right?" Qi Zhen asked rhetorically.
"If we have to give up on them for this reason, I find it very ridiculous. Aren't we a whole body?" Jiang Yan continued, tit for tat.
"You two are both old people. You don't know how many teammates have died because of this kind of fucking thing before?" Qi Zhen finally couldn't help but said.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yan finally fell silent.
"I can't do it. If this is the team's decision, then I will leave the team and choose to split up with you. I will go find them myself." Yu Liang said at this time.
"Don't worry, there are still two people who have not expressed their opinions." Qi Zhen looked at Li Qiang and Meng Ran.
"I don't know what kind of tests we will face next. I only know that I was very happy with you all before. I don't know when I will be able to return to the original world, but I just want to say that in the future, , it will even happen in this game, so if it is me, or Qi Zhen, who leaves then, what will you choose, and how do you want your teammates to choose?" Meng Ran looked into Qi Zhen's eyes. asked softly.
"If it were me, I would never let my teammates make such a choice. If one day they really need to make such a choice, I also hope that you can leave me alone, just like this time Lin Xiao and The same thing Li San did." Qi Zhen had obviously thought of this question a long time ago and answered without hesitation.
