Chapter 91: Divergence
"So you mean that Zhang Dacai and Huang Wenbiao are not complicit in this matter?" Li Qiang asked.
Qi Zhen nodded.
"That's right, I suspect that this Zhang Dacai didn't know what this Huang Wenbiao wanted to do from beginning to end, he was just used."
"But we still don't know why Li San left, and why he knocked me out." Yu Liang wondered.
The focus of bold assumptions is naturally on the word bold, Qi Zhen did not sell Guan Zi again, but continued to put forward his conjecture along the way.
"If Lin Xiao said something to Li San in the process of changing rooms with Li San, and Li San became concerned about Lin Xiao's practices or whereabouts, and then he happened to see two figures leaving through the back window after changing rooms, maybe he was still hesitating to chase out or remind his teammates, but in his hesitation, another figure came out of the window from the same place, think about it, what will he do?"
According to their understanding of Li San, several people thought about it carefully, and found that as Qi Zhen said, if Li San made this choice in this situation, this was almost the most likely conclusion.
If others don't think of other possibilities, then for them, that's the only conclusion.
This conclusion is not only in line with Li San's character, but also logically makes sense in the current situation.
"The man in white, I always feel that his appearance and disappearance are a little inexplicable." Jiang Yan added.
"It's not inexplicable." Qi Zhen shook her head and said.
"How?" Li Qiang asked, and the others also looked at Qi Zhen with puzzled expressions.
"If we want to figure this out, we need to look beyond the whole thing."
"If we treat the whole event as part of the system's tasks, then when the event happens, we can think that the trigger point of all the tasks is in this inn."
"Therefore, if we don't treat the disappearance of two people as an individual incident, but all the people who appear here as the influencing factors for the overall mission to occur, then the unusual places of the entire inn will become logical." Qi Zhen said.
"Anything else out of the ordinary?" Yu Liang asked.
"Let's think that our speculation is infinitely close to the truth, and we understand the cause and effect of Lin Xiao and Li San's disappearance one after another, so if we think about it further, there is actually one biggest doubt that has not been solved."
"That is, why did Lin Xiao follow that woman out of this inn, and why was he in such a hurry?"
"That woman met our team in Pingshui, why did she find Lin Xiao?"
"Let's not think about why Lin Xiao is so interested in that woman, let's just say from which woman's point of view, what is her motive?"
"Something to do with the man in white?" Jiang Yan asked.
After Qi Zhen's analysis, several people had the meaning of clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky.
Yes, this is a game, and you must not think about it according to the logic of ordinary people's lives.
In the real world, if you come to a hotel where there are four occupants in it, and someone else steals something from one of the rooms that night, or someone kills, or something unusual happens, there is a good chance that the occupants of the other three rooms have nothing to do with it.
But in Conan's world, and under the worldview of many games, comics and movies, the people in the other three rooms will definitely be the most likely suspects to commit the crime, even if they didn't do it, they must be inextricably linked to the incident itself.
If you can think about the whole thing that happened in the inn with this line of thought, then the appearance of the man in white can make sense.
"Whether the woman is hiding from the enemy, or to escape debts, or simply being tracked by the man in white because of cheating, in short, she is running away, and the man in white is here to find her, which also explains why she eats alone upstairs, and why she stays and never sees anyone again."
Then she saw us...... No, it should be said that we, as bystanders, witnessed the occurrence of this plot, and Lin Xiao didn't know for what reason, he was attracted by the woman and had the heart to protect the flowers. ”
Jiang Yan glared at Qi Zhen.
"Don't stare at me, I can't think of any other reason for a while......" Qi Zhen smiled awkwardly, but was suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong with you, hey, go on." Yu Liang saw Qi Zhen stunned and reminded.
"Did you think of anything else?" Li Qiang asked.
Qi Zhen reacted, shook her head, and continued to analyze: "Either because of the needs of the plot, or because of some other reason, the woman learned that the man in white had been following her, and in order to ask for help, she found Lin Xiao, who had already changed rooms with Li San at that time. ”
I don't know how she persuaded Lin Xiao, the two of them immediately left the inn through the back window, when Li San saw the two of them leaving, and was still hesitating to remind his teammates, the man in white was likely to have followed at that time.
"Until Huang Wenbiao entered the house to search, and then left, Li San couldn't wait any longer, so he could only choose to leave without alarming anyone, and chased after him."
"That is to say, in order to help that beautiful woman, Lin Xiao left late at night, followed by the man in white, followed by Huang Wenbiao, who coveted Li San's money or utensils but mistook Lin Xiao for Li San's chase, and finally may not understand the reason for what happened, or only understand a small part of Lin Xiao's Li San." Yu Liang finally made a declarative summary.
"The inductive ability is quite strong, but there is no award." Meng Ran said.
The reason for pretending to be relaxed is naturally because it is not easy.
At this time, it was almost noon, and it stands to reason that Li San's whereabouts were the most treacherous, and he fell behind the other four people, so it stands to reason that no matter what happened, he should also have the ability to get out and come back for help as soon as possible.
So what was holding him back, or how far had they got?
If it had been nearly three hours since the two had disappeared, no matter how slow the girl's footsteps were, she would have to walk thirty kilometers away at the speed of ordinary people.
What's more, Qi Zhen never thought that there would be any ordinary people in the missions encountered by her team.
So the next question is, how do you find these two people, or do you want to find them?
Seeing Qi Zhen's somewhat solemn face, everyone had a bad premonition, but as a whole team, the matter of unifying thoughts is more important than anything else in many cases.
"Okay, then the first thing we have to think about now is whether we should accept the tasks provided by the system this time." Qi Zhen's tone was a little low.
"Damn! Qi Zhen, what do you mean?! Yu Liang immediately quarreled.
"It's literal, now that the two of us are missing, we don't have any clues except for Zhang Dacai downstairs, and I guess following him is probably a key step for us to continue to complete this mission, so I want to ask you if we want to complete this task."
"You don't have to talk to me about the task, if you have something to say, just explain it!" Yu Liang was extremely angry, and even wanted to shout.
"Okay, then I'll make it clear, don't look for them, die two, find them, it may be all destroyed, you think for yourself." Qi Zhen stared at his eyes and did not retreat at all.
"I really regret being teammates with you now, in my heart, the moment they disappeared, that is, when the mission began, we had no choice at all, and I am really disappointed that you can say such things now!" It was rare for Yu Liang not to explode into foul language, but from the green tendons on his forehead and the white fists on his clenched joints, it could be felt that he was really on the verge of getting out of control now.
Yu Liang took two deep breaths, calmed down his agitated emotions, and said softly: "I decided to follow that Zhang Dacai to complete the task and find Lin Xiao and Li San." ”
"Do you know what the consequences of saying that are?" Jiang Yan looked at Qi Zhen, and at this time she also spoke slowly, "That is, I will never rest assured that I will give my back to someone like you." ”
She ignored the bitter expression on Qi Zhen's face and stood beside Yu Liang.
When a choice is presented in front of us, everyone will instinctively make a decision that is in line with their values at the moment, and there is no right or wrong.
When it is not about oneself, such as what happened on Taihu Lake, everyone has different opinions and opinions on the handling of those lake bandits.
When it comes to people or things that you care about, there will be a conflict on the fundamental position and philosophy, and this is the thing that affects unity the most.
"My opinion is not to look for the two of them, wait here for another day, if there is still no news from the two of them, then we will go to Wuhu according to the established route, and reach Luzhou through Chaohu Lake."
"We can stay in every town along the road for one more day, but that's all, if I still can't wait for them in Luzhou, then I will choose to continue to speed up to Shushan."
Qi Zhen's bitter and helpless look just now had been swept away at this time, and he said expressionlessly.
"How can you be so cold?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Every adult has to bear the consequences of his or her own impulses and actions, for better or for worse, doesn't he?" Qi Zhen asked rhetorically.
"I think it's ridiculous to give up on them for that reason, aren't we all one?" Jiang Yan continued,-for-tat.
"Both of you are old men, how many teammates have died because of this kind of fucking thing before, and you don't have any points in your own hearts?" Qi Zhen finally couldn't help but say.
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 divide the troops with you, and I will go to them myself." Yu Liang said at this time.
"Don't worry, there are still two people who haven't expressed their opinions." Qi Zhen looked at Li Qiang and Meng Ran.
"I don't know what kind of test we will face next, I just know that I was with everyone before, I was very happy, I don't know when I will be able to return to the original world, but I just want to say that this kind of thing will happen in the future, even in this game, so if it is me who leaves at that time, or Qi Zhen you, how will you choose, and how do you want your teammates to choose?" Meng Ran looked at Qi Zhen's eyes and 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 what Lin Xiao and Li San did this time." Qi Zhen had obviously thought of this question a long time ago, and replied without hesitation.
