Chapter 203: The First Day Has Passed
The appearance of this strangeness in the clown's room really made many people jump.
But then the question arises, who drew these things in the clown's room?
Hasegawa walked over and saw that the materials used to paint on the walls were basically cosmetics in the room.
"It's all cosmetics."
Hasegawa said.
"We haven't found any trace of the eleventh person for the time being, but after Yuriko's death, we should be able to conclude that the organizers are still among us, and Yuriko's death is just a complete set set by the real organizers to paralyze us." Hasegawa analyzed.
"Yes, Mr. Hasegawa and I went together, I witnessed Yuriko's death, and the last thing she showed seemed to be that she was deceived by the organizer, and if you look further, Yuriko has told the three of us about the organizer, but only when she says to Bai Xuejiu that she is the organizer, she will definitely know that we will trade this information out when the time comes, so wouldn't the real organizer shoot herself in the foot if she does this?"
Takashi Tsuneta said that he had more say in this matter, because he had indeed made a deal with Yuriko before, and finally received the note from the other party, but speaking of that note......
"And I'm also very suspicious.,Yuriko's intention to give me that note.,I just called a reporter to go with me because I wasn't at ease.,It turned out that this kind of thing really happened.,If it's just me.,It's really full of mouths and there's no way to explain it.。
In fact, the reporter's face at this time was not very good-looking, because she thought that she could form an alliance with Takashi Tsunata, but she witnessed such an extremely bloody suicide on the spot, not to mention that she was now suspected of murder.
You must know that among the people present at present, there are not many who are not suspicious.
Nishikujo was suspected of killing Fahai with a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain at the flower shed, and Tsuneta Takashi, not to mention his high-profile behavior, it is difficult not to be suspected, because the organizer deliberately covered people's eyes.
However, the reporter still has some expectations for Takashi Tsunata.
There is also Hasegawa, who is a detective by training, and if he wants to kill someone, there are many ways, and in such a closed environment, there are many lies in addition to transactions.
The writer is the same, don't look at the other party who looks like a weak chicken on the surface, he panics when he encounters anything, and his body is full of wounds, but the other party's remarks about Yuriko are different from what others say, so it's not an exaggeration to be suspected of lying, not to mention that he knows that this person is actually not a kind person.
That is, there will be less suspicion of himself and the hot girls, but now he is also involved, and only the hot girls are alone.
But when everyone is suspicious, is the remaining seemingly innocent person spotless?
But now, even if she is reluctant, she has to nod her head to testify for Takashi Totata, because now only by clearing Takashi Totada's suspicion can she get away with this matter, even if she knows that she is really not guilty.
And once you nod your head, it's equivalent to getting on the other party's boat.
"But have you ever thought of a possibility?" At this time, Bai Xuejiu suddenly spoke, he was not allowed to go out of his room just now, but now it is a collective search operation, so he also came out with everyone, but at this time he raised a question.
When everyone looked at him, Bai Xuejiu pointed to the shocking pictures on the wall and said: "The clown may not be dead, he is just silently watching us from a corner of the Rose Manor, he is the real organizer, and according to his character, threatening Yuriko should be a simple matter."
And there is no psychological burden on killing, he is a complete lunatic! ”
This possibility had not been thought of before, because the clown was a dead man, and they had personally examined the heartbeat and pulse of the corpse.
The clown's body was still there, lying quietly as if no one had come in.
The corpse was naturally expressionless and immobile, but after listening to Bai Xue's guess, they all looked at the clown's face, and although the original smile on the clown's face still did not change, now they felt that this smile seemed to be mocking them.
"Joker, have you seen anyone come in before?"
At this time, the reporter suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at her as if they were fools, as if asking, "How can a dead man speak?" ”
Even Bai Xuejiu, who questioned that the clown was not dead, was the same, after all, what was in bed now could not be a clown.
But Hasegawa didn't think the other party was stupid, but walked over and pressed his hand on the other party's carotid artery for about ten seconds, and then put his head on the other party's chest without fear and listened for a while.
"I think it's really dead." Hasegawa came to the same conclusion again, and as for the makeup of his face, he also checked it, and there was no difference from last time.
After all, if a person is killed, it is impossible to lie in the same position, and there will be some slight differences.
"Alright, don't waste time on these things, since everyone's room has been searched now, let's start the fifth round of trading as soon as possible." Nishikujo said suddenly.
Takashi Tsuneta nodded: "Yes, there are only 40 minutes left now, but although this transaction is short, I still have a suggestion, in order to prevent each of us from being hurt when we are alone, so I propose that now we all go to the hall and then decide the object of the transaction by drawing lots, we only have six people now, so it is enough to make three transactions."
Then, according to the order of the draw, go to the room to trade, each transaction time should not exceed 10 minutes, otherwise others will have the right to break into the room to interrupt the transaction. ”
After hearing this, everyone thought about it for a while and felt that this method was feasible.
So the reporter tore a blank page from his notebook, and then divided it into 6 equal notes, on which the number 1~6 was written.
"Next, we will draw lots, No. 1 and No. 6 transactions, No. 2 and No. 5 transactions, No. 3 and No. 4 transactions, and the order of transactions is also from 1~3."
"Okay, let's get started."
They crumpled all the notes and threw them into a bowl to hold them.
Hasegawa then shuffled the order, but Hasegawa, who started in person, was naturally the last to draw lots.
When everyone has drawn lots, expand the order to see them.
Although Hasegawa was the last to draw, he drew No. 1, and it was Shirayukihisa who drew No. 6.
The announcer drew the number 2, and his trade partner was Nishikujo Sara.
Finally, there are reporters and Takashi Tsunada.
The next step is to go to the room and start trading, each group only has 10 minutes, if it exceeds this time, other people can break in together to interrupt the transaction, this is also to avoid other groups not having time to trade.
Although Bai Xuejiu is the one who seems to be the weakest and has the worst psychological quality among all the people at present, he has also traded a lot of people after careful calculation, and the amount of information he knows can almost rank in the top three among ordinary people.
Hasegawa told several other people's secrets, all of which Bai Xuejiu already knew, and in the end Hasegawa had to take out his own secrets again.
So in the end, when they walked out of the room, Hasegawa's haze in his heart increased.
The second group is Nishikujo and the announcer, and the rose didn't look at the announcer very well before, but at this time, it's a matter of trading, and they still have to abandon their previous suspicions and take it seriously, but the process is not very harmonious.
So the transaction between the two of them is naturally very fast, basically after entering, one person will tell the secret and the other person will tell the secret, which is considered the end.
Due to the short time they came out, only about 13 minutes have passed since the remaining 40 minutes.
Therefore, the transaction between Takashi Tsuneta and the reporter can be carried out for a longer time.
This point they also agreed with everyone, after all, the other four people have already finished trading, as for how long the last two people are willing to trade, that is their business.
The two of them went up the stairs to the door of the room, Takashi Tsuneta opened the door, followed by reporters.
But the moment Takashi Tsuneta heard that the door behind him was closed, he suddenly felt that his waist was surrounded by a pair of slender arms, and two soft balls were attached to his back.
"Miss Reporter, what are you doing here?" Takashi Tsuneta didn't immediately push the other party away, nor did he turn around to make the next move, but asked calmly.
If the other party wants to do something wrong, he is estimated to have been tricked, so it is better to look at the other party's intentions first.
"I don't want to die, I want to get out of here, so I want to make an alliance with you." The impact of witnessing blood spurting out of his throat just now was too great, as well as the dead people he had seen up close earlier.
has completely destroyed her nerves, although she is a reporter, but she is also a woman after all.
"Alliance? All right...... However, from what I know, it seems that none of the people who have formed alliances in this house will end well. ”
"I know, but I know that a person's words are more dangerous." Remembering to bury his head in the other party's back, he said in an almost pleading tone, "I've already figured out that I can do anything except the secret that we can trade until 48 hours later, as long as you are willing to form an alliance with me." ”
"Is anything okay?"
"Yes, anything!"
"Then, as soon as possible, we can sit and trade at the same time, and if it can be concluded within the time frame of this round of trading, I will agree to form an alliance with you."
The reporter suddenly understood, and then came to Takashi Tsuneta and slowly squatted down.
Tongue can be a lotus.
……
The transaction between the reporter and Takashi Tsuneta took a bit long, but they didn't care why it took so long, after all, in the first few transactions, in addition to secret transactions, they would also ask each other for some information, and also make some guesses, of course, these are not included in the secret.
While the four of them were waiting, they analyzed the suspiciousness of Takashi Tsuneta by the way.
By the time the two of them finished trading and went downstairs, they had already dressed up in the room to make sure that no outsiders would see any traces.
It's the end of Round 5, and it's almost 10:00 p.m.
But now the situation is at an impasse, everything that should be investigated has been investigated, and it is pitch black outside the manor, and no one dares to go out.
"Didn't the organizers say that? From 12:00 to 8:00 a.m. on the second day, we will take a break, so we will simply go back to our room and start the 6th round of trading. Rose seemed to be a little impatient, and she was a little upset that 4 people died in one day today, so she skipped the reasoning and evidence collection part.
"Agreed, but for the sake of safety, it's best to come to the hallway at 12:00 p.m., and we'll check the number."
Hasegawa's opinion was also recognized by everyone.
So after the 5th round of trading, the 6th round of trading started immediately.
As everyone's awareness of precautions began to increase, the number of personnel did not decrease again after the end of the sixth round of trading.
It's just that now everyone tries to avoid making multiple transactions.
Only Hasegawa went directly to the announcer's room this time, in the last round of transactions, he had already traded with Bai Xuejiu through the lottery, so he had no obligation to find the other party again in this transaction, and besides, when he faced Bai Xuejiu, there was really no secret to trade.
"Then I'll trade with Bai Xuejiu this time." Takashi Tsuneta took the initiative to say, and after speaking, he went back to his room first.
As for who is willing to trade with Bai Xuejiu tomorrow, that's tomorrow.
Nishikujo Sara went to the reporter.
At 12:00, the six of them punched in the corridor and went back to their rooms to sleep.
This night is destined to be an extraordinary one.
As in the previous trade, there were still some people who made small moves.
Ally.
Treachery.
Split apart.
And...... Homicide.
…...
In the West, roses are used as a symbol of secrecy, and when you see roses painted on the host's table, you understand that everything that is said at this table cannot be passed on, so you have Sub rosa, the Latin idiom "under the roses".
And this issue is also far from Roman mythology, Horus bumped into the love affair of Venus, the god of love, and Cupid, the son of Eros, in order to help his mother maintain her honor, gave Horus a rose and asked him to keep his mouth shut.
And Horus also chose to model after accepting the rose, so he also had the title of Horus's god of silence.
Perhaps in the evolution of time and the change of culture, the rose has gradually become a symbol of romance and love, but those who are familiar with this myth and the organizers will not forget the original meaning of the rose.
Eight o'clock the next morning.
Twenty hours had passed since the start of their trade, nearly half of the time.
No one sleeps lazy, and in fact they can't sleep well in this environment.
When I woke up, I remembered the events of yesterday vividly.
Looking at the already familiar decoration in the room, they knew that the time to get the appointment would become more and more tormenting.
And after this night, they figured out a lot of things.
Reliable.
Half-baked.
The truth of the matter deduced from the clues.
and all sorts of wild speculations.
And just like the organizers say.
No one came to save them.
In the hall downstairs, Hasegawa had already come to sit here at seven o'clock.
Looking at the roses on the table in a daze.
A full hour.
At 7:50, the reporter came downstairs and saw Hasegawa sitting alone at the table.
"Mr. Hasegawa, you're here so early."
"yes." Hasegawa said casually, but his eyes still didn't take his eyes off the roses.
The reporter's insight has always been very keen, and she noticed that Hasegawa had been staring at the roses on the table.
So she subconsciously counted it.
“1、2、3、4、5......”
