Chapter 21: Clues
Wei Liang pushed open the door and was about to go downstairs when he collided with the girl in the white dress. He smiled politely, but the girl in the white dress did not respond, her face was pale, her steps were sloppy, and the corners of her mouth twitched with every step, as if she was enduring great pain.
"What's wrong?" Wei Liang asked.
The girl in the white dress wanted to speak again and again, and finally lowered her head and went downstairs.
Wei Liang fell into deep thought, and he guessed that something must have happened last night.
When he came to the first floor, he observed everyone, Liu Huan was lying on the sofa on all fours, his fat belly rising and falling with his breathing, like a toad; Liu Mang's mouth was full of oil, and he was gnawing on a roast chicken; Major General Bai sat quietly on the sofa, his head bowed, and his expression tired; The handsome man stood in front of the mirror, looking at his face with interest; The shark head is lying on the couch with his eyes closed and humming an unknown song in his mouth......
Wei Liang calculated, he, Ding Ding, the girl in the white dress, plus these five, there were a total of eight people, and there were two who did not show up.
He asked, "What about the boy who stammered?" ”
After a long time, Liu Mang replied: "I didn't see him, maybe he was killed by the murderer, hey, whatever, come brother, hurry up and eat something, this coffee table is amazing, what do you want to eat, silently order in your head, it can automatically conjure." ”
Wei Liang was a little hungry, so he ordered a bowl of porridge, a plate of vegetables, and a steamed bun. Unlike Area 13, which has a short game time and will not starve to death if food is not provided. It was a tug-of-war that lasted for days, and it made sense that Taling would be fed.
Liu Mang glanced at him and asked, "You just eat these?" ”
Wei Liang nodded.
Liu Mang smiled: "Free things, why don't you eat better?" ”
Wei Liang smiled: "What's good or not, just fill your stomach." ”
He ate slowly and carefully, chewing the food into pieces before swallowing it. There are many people who like to watch TV or play with their mobile phones when they eat, but they never do this, they concentrate on eating, and they don't use two minds.
After the meal was over, the two of them had not yet come down. Everyone waited for a long time, and the shark head stood up and said, "Why don't we go up and take a look?" ”
"Let's go."
Liu Mang said: "Let's take a look at that little stammerer first, he lives next door to me." ”
He went upstairs and came to door four, knocked on it, and shouted, "Is there anybody?" ”
At first, no one responded, but after knocking for a long time, a weak voice came from inside: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" ”
Liu Mang smiled: "What are you doing in it?" Isn't it anyone's sight? ”
The stuttering man hid behind the door and said, "I want to be alone, quiet, quiet, quiet." ”
"Actually, we're just here to see if you're alive." Liu Mang learned his tone and said with a strange smile: "You can be quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, don't disturb." ”
Of the ten people, nine are alive, and the rest must be the dead.
Wei Liang has a number in his heart - the face of the national character, it should be him. First of all, this person is the oldest of the people, has rich social experience, and has leadership skills, which can unite everyone, which is naturally not what the murderer wants to see, and it is reasonable to kill him first.
Wei Liang asked: "What is the number of rooms of that old brother with a national face?" ”
"Number one." The shark head said: "Last night when we went upstairs together, he lived next door to me, and comforted me a few words at the time, but I haven't seen him since I got up today." ”
When everyone came to the No. 1 door, Wei Liang first snorted twice, but no one responded, and then knocked on the door, the sound was from small to loud, and the room was always quiet without the slightest sound.
"What is this?" Major General Bai stared at the crack in the door, lowered his body, dipped his finger in it, and said in a deep voice: "Bloodstains." ”
Everyone understands that this big brother is most likely dead.
Liu Mang shouted, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
Major General Bai said: "You have the key?" ”
Liu Mang was not convinced, this is a very ordinary wooden door, not too thick, you have to rely on a key to get in? Without saying a word, he kicked up. He is extremely confident in his leg strength, and has been exercising squats and running in recent years, and his leg muscles are very developed, which ordinary people can't compare. As a result, he was disappointed, the wooden door was as calm as a mountain, but he was shocked to the point that his legs and feet were sore.
Wei Liang shook his head and said, "I can't kick it." ”
Liu Mang tried several more times, but he returned in vain, and said with some regret, "It would be nice if I could go in, at least I could find some clues." ”
Major General Bai said: "This shows that the murderer is very cautious, and he does not forget to close the door after killing someone, leaving no clues." ”
At this time, Taling's grand voice came: "Voting begins." ”
There is an extra LCD screen above each person's palm, similar to a mobile phone, but it is very thin, with numbers 1 to 10 displayed on it, and each number corresponds to a face.
Who is the murderer, everyone is still confused, and there is no clear answer to this sudden multiple-choice question.
The handsome man said: "There is no rush to vote, let's discuss it first and see if we can get valuable information." I don't know if you have any clues? ”
Wei Liang was silent and did not take the lead in speaking. When Ding Ding saw that he didn't speak, he also bowed his head and didn't speak.
The shark head spoke, "When I got up today, I saw soot at the door. I don't smoke, and no one else has been in the room, so I think the killer left it. ”
Everyone didn't react much, and they were skeptical of his words, after all, anyone could be a murderer, and the seeds of doubt had been planted in everyone's hearts.
"Really?" Liu Mang asked.
Shark Head laughed, "Look at what you said, would I still joke about this kind of thing?" ”
Wei Liang nodded and said, "He's right, I found out too." ”
Major General Bai asked, "You also have soot in your room?" ”
"Nope." Wei Liang pointed at Ding Ding and said, "There is one in her room, obviously, the murderer went to her room last night." ”
Major General Bai analyzed: "So, the murderer smoked, that is, he was a man? ”
The shark head said, "Not necessarily. This clue is too obvious, if I were the murderer, I would not be so careless. Maybe it was the ** array he deliberately left, maybe the murderer was a woman, or maybe he didn't smoke at all. ”
Liu Mang said: "Don't think so much about it first, in short, this is a clue." Who among us smokes? It's troublesome to raise your hand. ”
After saying that, he lifted it up first. Then, Major General Bai, Wei Liang, and Shark Head all raised their hands.
The handsome man said lightly: "I don't smoke, it's not good for my health." ”
Liu Huan said: "I have pharyngitis, I quit early." ”
Wei Liang said: "My cigarette has long been smoked, which can be confirmed by everyone, and I also bought one from Major General Bai when I was in the No. 13 area." ”
"Damn it, everything is sold in the Scarlet Mall, but it doesn't sell cigarettes, and my cigarettes have long been smoked." Liu Mang glanced at Major General Bai and said tentatively: "Brother, you should still have smoke, right?" When you were in District 13, you didn't have half a pack left. ”
Major General Bai said: "Half a pack of cigarettes is too much? Normally, it is only half a day's amount, and it has already been pumped. ”
Liu Mang wondered: "It's strange, who left the ashes behind that?" ”
The handsome man said, "Isn't there another person who hasn't asked?" ”
Only then did everyone think of the stuttering man, who was very introverted and secluded, and almost ignored him.
Liu Mang went over and smashed the door again and shouted, "Little brother, open the door quickly." ”
"What's wrong?"
"There are two sentences for you, don't talk nonsense, open the door quickly."
After a while, the door opened, and the stuttering man poked his head out nervously.
Liu Mang pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered the door, a smell of smoke came to his face, he laughed and said, "The case has been solved." ”
The stuttering man was so confused that he didn't understand what he was saying.
Major General Bai looked him in the eye and asked, "Young man, do you smoke?" ”
The stuttering man nodded.
Liu Mang saw the half bag of Yuxi on the table, picked up one with a smile, lit it, took a deep breath, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you still have a lot of cigarettes." ”
The stuttering man said: "I, I have a small addiction to smoking, and I smoke two or three cigarettes a day, so I can have left." ”
"Don't smoke if you have a small addiction, it's harmful to your health." As Liu Mang spoke, he quietly put half a pack of cigarettes into his pocket and preached: "You half-grown children, you know that you want to be exciting, fresh, and completely reckless, and it will be too late to regret it when you get lung cancer." ”
The stuttering man naturally noticed his small movements, and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
The shark head was addicted to smoking, walked over, hooked Liu Mang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's not right to eat alone, such a good thing, everyone who sees it has a share." ”
Liu Mang pushed him away, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not your eldest brother, don't call me so close." Besides, what does it mean to have a share? It's called first-come, first-served. ”
The shark's face sank, and his heart was displeased. Major General Bai also came over to help, he had already had an opinion on Liu Mang, and said with a strange smile: "What is first-come, first-served, I only know that those who can live there." Otherwise, let's fight, whoever wins, the half pack of cigarettes belongs to whom. ”
Liu Mang was a little hesitant, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't fight for a few cigarettes. After weighing the pros and cons, he put the cigarette on the table again and said with a smile: "I'm just joking to liven up the atmosphere, besides, this cigarette is not mine, do you want to smoke it?" Tell this little brother. ”
The stuttering man said, "Poop, poop, poop." ”
Wei Liang walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Brother, we didn't come here to look for you to smoke." ”
"What's that, what's that, what's going on?"
"Last night, the killer left cigarette ash, which is the only clue. None of us smoke, but you do, so it seems you'll have to give a reasonable explanation. ”
"Otherwise, we'll vote you for the murderer." Liu Mang said.
The stuttering man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, no, no......"
The more nervous the stutterer became, the more speechless he became, and it took him a lot of effort to explain the cause and effect, it turned out that he had two packs of cigarettes, one on the table and one in his pocket, and the pack of cigarettes on the table last night was lost, and he suspected that it had been stolen by the murderer.
Liu Mang asked: "So, the cigarette ash is not yours, but the murderer stole your cigarettes, and then deliberately left clues to frame you?" ”
The stuttering man nodded.
"Who believes it?" Liu Mang laughed, laughed for a long time and found that no one echoed, so he restrained his smile a little embarrassedly, and said, "No matter what you think, anyway, I think this reason is a bit far-fetched." Don't look wilted this kid, but there is an old saying that if a dog that bites doesn't bark, maybe the murderer is him. ”
The stuttering man was anxious and said, "I'm not!" ”
Liu Mang said: "If you say no, it's not?" This is not something that is said by mouth, either. ”
Wei Liang said: "It's hard to say about this matter, don't target him too much." Do you have any other clues? ”
The girl in the white dress had been silent, and finally spoke, "I ...... last night." Ravaged by the murderer. ”
