Chapter 71: Third-rate Detective Opera (9)
The atmosphere was awkward.
But fortunately, Gu Moli had expected it.
"It seems that it is the first possibility, Mr. Li Caijin, you told Mrs. Li the wrong password, which made him killed by the safety mechanism of the safe."
As soon as the words fell, Gu Moli made a lightning shot and pressed four numbers on the safe at random.
Followed by.
"Drop!"
The safe made a crisp and pleasant sound, accompanied by a melodious music, but there was not a trace of fire.
Still nothing happened.
β.... Mr. Gu? β
"Ahem, ahem!"
Gu Moli coughed a few times to cover up his gaffe, and at the same time, he quickly began to think in his mind, he was 100% sure that the bullet was fired from this safe, but whether it was a correct password or a wrong password, there was no way to trigger the trap in it.
What's going on?
Something went wrong?
.... No way!
Gu Moli's reaction speed was very fast, plus it was a matter of face, Hua Qiong was watching from the side, if she thought that her boss was vain, her face would be lost, so it was just a moment, Gu Moli quickly figured out his thoughts, and a smile was put on his face again.
β.... I see, that's what happened. β
"Mr. Li, there should be two unlocking codes for this safe, one is 5207 just now, and the other is the code that will attract shooting."
"Both codes will open the safe, but the second will kill the person who opens it."
"That's right, isn't it?"
"I don't know."
Li Caijin spread his hands: "Mr. Gu, if you are suspicious, you can guess the password just now, right?" β
"Hmph."
Gu Moli sneered: "It's just quibbling, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, as long as the police come, just dismantle the entire safe violently and take a look at the mechanism inside." β
"Yes."
Li Caijin nodded thoughtfully: "I understand." β
"In that case, I'll change my story."
"Mr. Gu."
"I really killed my wife."
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Everyone, including Gu Moli, didn't expect that Li Caijin would admit his crime without hesitation.
Not even a little disguised.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the old man slowly take out a small and delicate remote control from his arms, and then said while playing: "Mr. Gu, with your wisdom, can you guess what kind of remote control this is?" You've probably watched that very famous detective anime, right? β
β.......β
Yes, of course Gu Moli has seen it.
In that anime, all the buildings that are big and expensive, and have the symbol of such and such a city....
.... Nine out of ten will be blasted!
Damn it!
"Are you crazy!"
"The choice is yours."
Li Caijin's face remained unchanged: "As you said, I was just a third-rate detective novelist at that time, and my methods were easily seen by you, and the design of the case was too monotonous, completely ignoring the existence of the police, and the reality was far more cruel than I imagined." β
"I'll just get to the point."
"Your statement is very correct, this safe does have a password, after opening the safe according to that code, you will be killed by the machine gun arranged in the box, and then the safe will automatically return to its original state, as for this password, I told my wife before I met you, and you also saw her, didn't you?"
"I see..... That's why Mrs. Li came from the other side of the corridor..."
Hua Qiong muttered in a low voice, finally understanding the reason why she had seen Mrs. Li in the building on the left before.
It's just that....
"Now that you've confessed your sins! Why do such a thing!? β
"You don't want to kill your own wife, do you?"
"Nope."
Li Caijin coldly denied Hua Qiong's statement: "I wanted to kill her." β
"Or rather..."
β... From the day she wanted to kill me, I was ready for the day. β
"What....!"
The words spit out from Li Cai's mouth undoubtedly shocked Hua Qiong, but Gu Moli showed an expression that was really like this, as if he had expected it.
β... Looks like Mr. Gu, you seem to have guessed? β
"Just guessing."
Gu Moli nodded, in the final analysis, why was Li Caijin attacked by Lin Xingyuan and the mysterious killer, which has always made Gu Moli suspicious, if it is a bitter plan, it is inevitably too real, the muzzle of the gun is not long-eyed, what if he is really shot to death?
So he guessed that there should be another person behind this.
I just didn't expect it.....
"Is that person actually Mrs. Li?"
"It's actually quite simple."
Li Caijin smiled, and there was no emotion in his eyes, only plain and indifferent: "I can have today, largely thanks to the support of my wife, we support each other and encourage each other, and finally we have come to this day, but people will change after all." β
"My wife has changed, and she is no longer familiar to me."
"I was stunned when I learned that she had begun to plot to get all of my possessions after she found out that I was seriously ill."
"I don't understand why she did that."
"It is true that my wife and I have no heirs, and if I die, the inheritance must be my wife's, but my wife does not seem to trust me, and she suspects that I will give away my shares, or leave them to the old butler who has served me faithfully for so many years, and she only trusts herself."
"After ....."
"I even found out she was having an affair."
"Unlike me, who is older, my wife is not old, and with careful maintenance, she still maintains the youth and vitality of her twenties."
"It's just that her heart is different from when she was in her twenties."
β.... So you're going to kill her? β
"I gave her a chance."
Li Caijin glanced at Gu Moli, and then said: "I'm already a dying person, even if my wife doesn't say it, I originally planned to persuade her to remarry, but now it's just a matter of time, although it's sad, I finally persuaded myself to accept it and didn't reveal my wife." β
"She planned to kill me today."
"Lin Xingyuan and the gunman, they are all arranged by her, originally her plan should be that after Lin Xingyuan poisoned me, the gunman immediately killed Lin Xingyuan, so as to completely destroy the evidence, the gunman probably doesn't know the details, only knows that the task is to kill Lin Xingyuan."
"If the plan is successful, in the end, even if the gunman is caught, no one will think of me, as for the gunman's merchant, his wife should also handle it seamlessly, and in the end, it will only be investigated to a certain enemy of Lin Xingyuan, and no one will associate him with my wife."
"In the end, under the careful care of my wife, I was silently killed in bed by chronic poison, and left a so-called will before I died."
"Leave all your property, including shares in the company, to her."
"The plan was actually quite reluctant, but the funny thing is that the wife's secrecy is too poor."
"What's even more ridiculous is that the fake will drawn up by my wife is actually exactly the same as the one I wrote myself."
"I was going to leave her all the inheritance."
Speaking of this, Li Caijin's five fingers clenched suddenly: "I promoted Lin Xingyuan, let the gunman walk into the venue with a gun, and even talked to my wife in detail before, sincerely telling her my plans after death, and she comforted me very gently, saying that I will not die....."
"It's just that her eyes are different from ten years ago."
"Ten years, I have struggled in the business world for ten years, I have learned to deceive other people, but I have not learned to deceive my family, but my wife is different, she has not only learned to deceive other people, but also learned to deceive me, or rather, she has been cheating on me from the very beginning? Maybe it was a conspiracy for her to marry me in the first place? I don't know anymore. β
"Finally I watched her leave."
"The next thing is as you said, Mr. Gu, I killed her, using the opportunity that we met at the beginning, and the method in the novel I wrote to kill her, and even in fact I am ready, if I can die from the previous shot like my wife."
"But since I'm not dead."
"Then we have to carry out the original script to the end."
β.......οΌβ
After patiently hearing this, Gu Moli figured everything out.
Damn it!
"Do you want to die here with Mrs. Lee? Twin Star Building.... I know! Is this a token of your commitment? β
"Men on the left and women on the right, the building on the left has forty-seven floors, and the building on the right has thirty-five floors, symbolizing the ages of men and women, respectively?"
The collapse of the Twin Towers.
Symbolizes the end of love.
..... Die for love.
This guy is really crazy!
"There's no point in doing this kind of thing at all! I don't care about the story of your relationship, but do you know how much of an impact the fall of Gemini will have? More than tens of thousands of people will be affected! Including the people in the building at this time! Do you want all these innocent people to be buried for you? β
β.... It's not impossible? β
"What did you say...!?"
"I told you so."
Li Caijin raised the remote control in his hand with one hand and pointed to the safe with the other.
"The choice is yours."
"Mr. Gu."
"You are the most powerful detective in Guanghui City, and I forgot to tell you before, among the scripts you experienced in "Trial of Heroes", the novice script "Four Detectives" was designed by me."
β.... Miscellaneous!? β
"I've been watching you for a long time."
Li Caijin kept talking, and as time passed, a flush actually appeared on his pale face: "In "Four Detectives", your performance is exactly the same as the detective I imagined, keen, intelligent, decisive, adventurous, and has a wide knowledge reserve. β
"That's why I chose you."
"What do you mean?"
"Untie it."
Li Caijin pointed to the safe for the second time and said word by word: "You can't dismantle it violently, and there is no help from the police, just like depicted in movies, novels, and anime, use your wisdom to find the second password of the safe, so as to prove your hypotheses and inferences." β
"It's not reality, it's my personal wishful thinking, if I have to say it... Yes, it's just a game. β
"The game... You actually treat so many people's lives as a game..."
"Forget? What are the conditions for detachment on my challenge letter to you? β
γSurviveγ
"Untie it, I'll give up blasting the Twin Towers, and then do whatever you want."
"If you can't solve it, you can bury yourself here with me."
At this moment, Gu Moli, who was reminded by Li Caijin's words, subconsciously recalled the first two lines of the challenge letter.
γTo the Detectives of Guanghui Cityγ
γRise to the challenge!γ γ
