Chapter 4 Methodology

In the first nine rounds of the game, in full view of everyone, the murderer must have no chance to poison, and the only chance can only appear at halftime, when Yan Qi and Wu Yue Lu came out of Wangfeng Lu to breathe outside, Miss Chen Ba and Miss Liu San complained about Liang Xianhui behind the rocks-unless the two of them joined forces to kill people-then why bother to do it in front of so many people? When can you kill or not? It's easier to get past the government than to kill Liang Xianhui in public, right? You can even fake it as an accident death- As long as Liang Xianhui is tricked to the edge of the cliff, one is responsible for doing the work and the other is responsible for covering, pushing people down the cliff, and the corpse cannot be found, it is difficult for the government to determine whether the case is a homicide or the deceased stumbled to death, and the two can also make a fake alibi to each other, which is not much safer than poisoning in public?

According to the oral statement of the crowd, Miss Thursday, Wu Shishi, Li Taoman, and Liang Xianhui have been in Wangfeng Lu at halftime, even if it is convenient for someone to go to the clean room, the other three are always in the room, although there are fewer people, but it is impossible to hide people's eyes and ears when they open the lid of the teapot and poison it.

Of course, the most important thing is that point -- how can the murderer be sure that Liang Xianhui will be the first person to draw the beetle lot in the second half? Is Liang Xianhui's drawing of that topic a coincidence or has it been carefully calculated by the murderer? Is the murderer's target really Liang Xianhui or killing someone by mistake?

Yan Qi was the last to be called to the main hall for interrogation, and came out of the side room, and saw that there were a few more people in the main hall, and Yan Qi, the one wearing a big red official robe, recognized Qiao Lezi, the prefect of Taiping City, Kyoto, even if he was sad, his facial features were distributed in a state of fun, and he thought that he had just heard the news from the yamen, and his brain was full of sweat.

A man in soap-colored clothes squatted next to Liang Xianhui's body for examination, which was obviously a fake, and several other people dressed as yacha were carefully searching every corner of the house.

Qiao Zhifu said to the purple-robed wolf king: "The poison is smeared in the cup, the poison is extremely poisonous, and it dies when it enters the throat, the cup is no different from several other cups, the whole set of tea sets is a pot of ten cups, it is the most ordinary purple sand texture, the whole body is one color, there is no texture decoration, all the tea sets used in Lianhua Temple are this style. These people shared two sets of tea sets, one for pouring ordinary pine needle tea, one for pouring bitter tea for games, only nine cups for pouring pine needle tea, and ten cups for pouring bitter tea have been used, and the tenth is the poisoned cup used by Liang Xianhui, and there is no special mark on this cup for people to identify, so the biggest problem at present is: If the murderer's target is Liang Xianhui, how can he be sure that Liang Xianhui will draw the worm pit lottery and will inevitably use the last unused cup?"

The purple-robed wolf monarch stood at the table, listening to Qiao's prefect's speech while holding a teacup with two fingers, his face was a little absent-minded, even if the official next to him worshiped the important member of the Sipin court, he didn't see the slightest respect, and when Qiao's words fell, the purple-robed wolf monarch put down the cup in his hand, and said in a cold tone: " According to the confessions of the people, they have set up a poetry club in Wangfeng Lu more than once, and according to the testimony of the guest monks, this set of cups has been used in Wangfeng Lu for ten years, so the situation of nine people and ten cups is in the hands of the murderer in advance, and from this it can be concluded that the murderer used this point to carry out the murder. ”

Qiao Zhifu scratched his head: "According to the confessions of everyone, although there were nine rounds of games before Liang Xianhui, not everyone who won the lottery once, two of them have repeatedly drawn the beetle, and two of them have never drawn this lot, and those who have repeatedly drawn the lot will also use the cup they have used, so before Liang Xianhui drew the lot, there are three cups that have not been used, how can the murderer guarantee that Liang Xianhui will use the cup that has been smeared with poison?"

"The first method," the purple-robed wolf jun had slender hands, lightly fiddled with the teacups on the table, poured tea on seven of them, put two empty cups outside the tea tray, and left one empty cup in the tea tray, and then asked Qiao Zhifu coldly, "If you are a delicate young lady, which cup will you choose?"

After an intermission, these young ladies who eat and drink trivialities naturally do not pay attention to which cups have been moved, and the murderer only needs to do two tiny movements to move the cup to complete a murder trap!

"The second way. The purple-robed wolf monarch put the two empty cups back into the tea tray, picked up a piece of puff pastry in the dim sum plate next to him, and naturally swept over the empty cup, rubbing his fingertips imperceptibly, there were a few pieces of dim sum crumbs falling into the two empty cups, this purpose could not be clearer, if Liang Xianhui saw the dim sum dregs in the cup, he would definitely not use it, but would only choose the remaining empty cup, this method is simpler and more natural than the first method, and it is easier to do without realizing it.

"The third method," the purple-robed wolf monarch took a bite of the snack, and Qiao Zhifu hurriedly stared at his mouth, "Hmm, the stuffing is salty." ”

Governor Qiao: "...... (=Π΄=) "You're solving the case, hey, don't eat props!"

"The third method, starting from the second round of the game, whenever a person who draws the worm pit picks drinks the bitter tea, he takes advantage of the fact that everyone does not pay attention to the place where the used teacup is moved, so that the person who draws the duplicate lot will not be able to identify which teacup he used last time, so he has to take a new teacup from the tea tray again, after nine rounds, there will inevitably be only one unused teacup left in the tea tray, and the murderer will kill Liang Xianhui in the tenth round, and its purpose will be clearer. ”

While everyone is having a lively time to move the position of the used teacup, this method is also very easy and not easy to be noticed, the teacups, teapots, snacks, paper and pens and other things used in the game are placed on the table, in a chaotic situation, even the murderer only needs to move the paper and pen snacks to the obstruction place without touching the teacup with his own hands, you can manipulate others to move the position of the teacup for her unconsciously, so as to achieve the goal!

The murderer's delicate and meticulous mind made Qiao Zhifu sweat again, and he was about to ask, "Then when was the poison in the cup ordered", but saw the purple-robed wolf jun pick up an empty teacup and hold it in the palm of his hand, and slowly spit out another sentence: "The fourth way." ”

Killing someone is also a whole multiple-choice question, murderer, don't be too annoyed, Lao Tzu sue sΓΉ, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will fill in the blanks on death row, believe it or not!

The purple-robed wolf monarch closed his palm, caged the small teacup in his hand, put down his arm, and the wide cuffs hung down to cover his hand, "The teacups that are entertained in Lianhua Temple are all the same," the wolf monarch took the teacup and walked with long legs and started," The teacup in the guest house is no different from the teacup in Wangfeng Lu, as long as the murderer took the teacup in the guest house and smeared the poison in his sleeve in advance, and when he drew the beetle lot, he took advantage of the opportunity to pour bitter tea to replace the non-toxic cup, and then after Liang Xianhui was poisoned and died, he ran back to the guest house in a panic with everyone, and made up the replaced cups into the teacup in the guest house, and the number of cups on both sides was no more or less, and the ghost unconsciously completed the poisoning technique. ”

Qiao Zhifu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised his hand and patted the door of his brain: "In this way, the poisoner must be among the people who have drawn the beetle lots!" said a few steps and jumped in front of the young master Yan Jiu, who was still obliging to make a record, and took the paper that recorded the confessions of the previous crowd and flipped through it, "Except for Liang Xianhui, a total of seven people have drawn the beetle lot, first of all, you can rule out Liu Youqin, who has not drawn this lot, and these three little girls were temporarily called to participate," said and pointed to Yan Qiyi, who had only been discovered until now, Originally, these people made an appointment to come to this poetry club, but three of them were unable to come due to a sudden incident, and they must have disrupted the murderer's plan, so they had to temporarily pull three more people to make a game of nine people, so that they could use the tenth cup to act. The person who proposed to pull people to make up the number was Wu Shan, and from this point of view, Wu Shan had a certain suspicion. ”

Governor Qiao rummaged through the transcript paper for a while, and continued: "Judging from the separate confessions of these people, Chen Ying and Zhou Tinglan seem to have more motives to kill Liang Xianhui. ”

The purple-robed wolf monarch patted the dim sum scum on his hand - Qiao Zhifu had already eaten three pieces of dim sum in his stomach - it was already past dinner, and this one was full and hungry.

"Before checking people," Wolf Jun seemed to have some energy after his stomach was full, and pointed at Liang Xianhui, who was still dead on the ground, "First we need to solve the most critical mystery - the murderer, how to be sure that Liang Xianhui will draw the grub in the tenth round of the game as he wishes." ”

Oh, yes...... If this most critical link cannot be solved, even if the murderer is found out, it will not be able to justify itself.

Qiao Zhifu scratched his head and was about to fall into hard thought, but saw that this wolf monarch had walked in front of the little girl who had zero sense of zΓ i and bent down to talk to the same person: "I have stood for so long without squeaking, and the words are like gold, huh?"

Hey, it's obvious that you didn't let the little girl talk! Don't make a weird look and put your face so close to others!

"The tenth round of the game is Li Tao's full of lots, have you ever noticed that she has quietly read the words on the lots, or has she deliberately done something when sorting out the order of the lots?"

Li Taoman? Qiao Zhifu was excited, could it be that this suspected murderer was Li Taoman? The tenth round of the game related to Liang Xianhui's life and death was indeed Li Taoman in charge of issuing the lot, but this was in line with the rules, because Li Taoman was the host, and she was naturally responsible for the first round of signing, and after nine rounds, everyone sent a lot, and the tenth round was naturally her turn again-in other words, why not draw lots but send lots? Because can you rely on the lottery to grasp which piece of paper to send to Liang Xianhui? So the mystery is likely to be on the paper used as the sign, and the murderer- If it was really Li Taoman, how did he sign the one with the worm on it to Liang Xianhui's hand?

Qiao Zhifu dropped the pen paper in his hand and went to the round table to check, but saw that the nine pieces of signature paper were square and equal in size, and it was impossible to see which one was bigger or smaller or had any gaps or even marks with the naked eye, and the texture of the paper was very uniform, and the thickness was equal, so that it was impossible to see through the imprints written on one side, and even the taste on each piece of paper was exactly the same.

If the murderer is not Li Taoman, then the issue of signing the paper is not a problem.

But only the signature paper is the only way to determine whether Liang Xianhui can draw the worm pit and drink the poisoned tea, unless the murderer's target is not Liang Xianhui, but he did not expect Liang Xianhui to draw the worm pit and become the real target's substitute ghost.

Qiao Zhifu felt that his head was getting bigger and heavier, so he had to hold it with his hand, and by the way, he listened to the little girl's answer to Wolf Jun: "Miss Li has not seen the front of the sign, and the sign is not issued in the order of seats, so she just pats it in front of anyone left and right." ”

Isn't it customary for people to distribute things in order? Isn't it a bit deliberate to use a disorderly distribution method? However, random distribution may seem unplanned, but in fact it may be a means to cover up the end......

Oops, my head is so heavy.

Li Taoman was listed as the first suspect. The wolf king stood up, his eyelids drooping into a snow moon scimitar, and the forest was cold.

"How can you see that?" Governor Qiao was a little surprised, this conclusion was inevitably made too quickly and lightly, right?!

"I had a gut feeling. ”

...... "What the are you kidding me, intuition?!Intuition can be used as evidence?!Not to mention that everyone is rumored that you are crooked, where do you get your intuition!"

"I have a gut feeling you're slandering me. Wolf Jun's narrow eyes swept the Qiao Governor's Mansion.

"Don't dare, don't dare, hehe, hehe. Qiao Zhifu touched his smooth and bearded chin a little embarrassed, "I think the most suspicious person is Miss Thursday Zhou Tinglan, Chen Ying's confession claimed that Liang Xianhui held Zhou Tinglan's ulterior secret, but Zhou Tinglan flatly denied it, refusing to say what the secret was, it must be extremely difficult to say what it was to hide it like this, because ......"

"What you're talking about isn't even intuition," Wolf Jun waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Prefect Qiao's words, "It's just speculation, and there is no need to discuss it." If you talk about confessions, in order to clear their suspicions, each of these people has provided clues that others have more reasons to do it than themselves, and even Zhou Tinglan is desperately trying to clear herself, but Li Taoman has never confided in any sensitive information related to Liang Xianhui, for a little girl of this age, it is abnormal in itself, under normal circumstances, in the face of the situation that I have clearly pointed out that the eight people present are all suspects, the most natural reaction should be to prove their innocence. The first is the positive evidence, the other is the counter-evidence, compared with other people, they all first explain that they have no chance of poisoning, and then they are afraid that I will not believe it, and then point out the possibility of other people's murder, one positive and one negative, so as to make their own defense more convincing. As for Li Taoman, the paper slip was sent to Liang Xianhui by herself, isn't she guilty? Not afraid? However, she asked one question and one answer, and said nothing else, and even when I asked the question, 'Do you have proof that you are not the one who poisoned you?' she didn't say much, why? Guy said too much and made many mistakes, and a lie needs to be fulfilled by a hundred lies, so the best disguise is to say less and do less. It is possible to refuse to bite a friend because of righteousness, but it is against human nature to be suspected of murder and still refuse to defend oneself. ”

Li Taoman is young after all, he just thinks that he won't show his feet if he doesn't say it, but he doesn't understand how people react normally in the face of such a situation. Cough.
