"How did you get to this situation...... Feng Bujue said to himself in the dark, "At this moment, I should be playing soy sauce like an outsider...... he sighed: "Hey...... It seems that a man as wonderful as me, no matter where he hides, will be as vivid and outstanding as a firefly in the dark...... The melancholy eyes, the embarrassed scum, and the miraculous skills all betrayed me deeply. β
He was amusing himself and reciting this sentence to himself, and because it was dark (his vision was limited and his hearing was more sensitive) and the closed open environment (the sound would travel farther), Jue's voice reached the ears of the three teammates in the distance word for word.
"Such a shameless person...... I've never seen it in my life. Autumn Wind lowered his voice and commented.
"He can talk about these ...... casually in this situation," said the chief of the account, "and it can be regarded as a strong expression of psychological elements." β
Honghu continued: "It's hard to guess......" he said, shuddering involuntarily, and then lifting his glasses: "He may be the kind of opponent I don't want to meet the most......"
"I feel the same way." Qiu Feng responded: "It's hard to imagine what would happen if there was such a guy on the opposite side in the killing game. β
On this point, the three strategists were very unanimous, and the chief said, "If he is not a teammate, but an opponent, it is indeed a very bad thing...... Did you notice? Whether it is action or strategy, the crazy brother's set seems to be out of order, but in fact it hides mysteries...... Looking back, everything he did, more or less made a difference. Of course...... Except for his unique sense of humor. β
"Conspirators, tricks and tricks; The conspirators took advantage of the situation. Honghu groaned: "The former is an evil way. Usually when the strength is not good, the clever tricks to make up for the gap, even if it is successful, it is only a temporary effect, and there are many loopholes, once it is seen through, it is easy to resolve; And the latter is the king's way, which follows the trend and is nowhere to be found. He who is the king of conspiracy is unstoppable. He paused for a moment and continued: "It stands to reason that resourceful players like us are pursuing the latter, but. Crazy brother he ......"
"It seems that we have drifted away from the evil path......" Qiu Feng continued.
Honghu said: "The person who can plan the conspiracy is very smart, and the person who can plan the conspiracy is very powerful." But if someone can guarantee the success of every plot they have planned, it can be called a clever calculation. β
"Huh...... If it were in the world of the Three Kingdoms novel, the madman would probably be that kind of ...... Put the strategy in the bag, and let the generals who go out to the expedition open one and do it everywhere they go, so as to show that they are like a god. Autumn Wind said.
The three of them secretly discussed Brother Jue. Because they are all crouching on the edge of the circular hole, as long as they keep their voices low and face downward, the sound of speech will not travel too far around. So these conversations. Feng Bujue didn't hear a word. If Brother Jue really heard it, he would probably be proud instead of ashamed, and he would be more and more embarrassed......
After about ten minutes, Feng Bujue returned to his teammates unhurriedly. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was a little worried.
"It doesn't seem like there's much to gain." Autumn Wind Channel.
"Hehe......" Ji Chang smiled: "Actually, the crazy brother can come back unharmed." It was already a gain, at least he proved that there was no danger in this layer for the time being. β
"Next, let's divide the four of us into two groups and explore it carefully, we should be able to find some threads......" Honghu said before he finished speaking.
Feng Bujue directly interrupted: "I found a corpse in that direction. He said, gesturing into the darkness.
These words were like a basin of cold water in winter, poured on the heads of his teammates.
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing, and everyone was silent.
Feng Bujue continued: "To be precise, I found a fairly complete crime scene. β
The three of them were still silent, wanting to hear him finish before commenting.
Then he ......, "Feng Bujue really has a follow-up to this." I'm ...... in that direction again," he pointed to the other side, "Found the bodies of the murderers." β
"Guys?" Qiu Feng repeated: "Murderer...... Still 'guys'? β
"That's right, based on my preliminary investigation of that scene, it is presumed that there were four murderers who committed the crime together." Feng Bujue said.
"And those four murderers died near the crime scene?" Honghu interjected.
"No, only two died." Feng Bujue said: "There are two more who fled to the fourth floor." β
"What? Have you found your way to the fourth floor? The Comptroller asked.
"Yes, over there, there's a spiraling staircase." Feng Buju pointed in the third direction, "The two surviving murderers left traces when they walked up the stairs, which is easy to judge. He turned his head: "It's not a good idea to rush after me, so I've decided to come back and share the information with you first." β
After he said this, his teammates fell into deep thought again.
After about a minute, Feng Bujue spoke: "Okay, now you should have a preliminary idea of the situation. Come with me, and I'll show you around the scene in order. β
The four words "in order" in his words were very important, and the other three people understood as soon as they heard it, in fact, Feng Buyi found that the order of the three places was not necessarily in the order he told it, but he had already observed it and sorted out the sequence of things, so he talked about it in the order of "the first murder scene, the second murder scene, and the passage to the fourth floor".
The three of them followed Feng Bujue all the way to a corner on the third floor. Halfway through the walk, everyone smelled a bad smell, presumably the smell of the corpse.
After a while, they saw a corpse lying flat on the floor tiles by the light of a flashlight.
Decedent...... Let's put it this way, a witch.
She was dressed in black coarse cloth, and her cloak was tattered, dirty, and smelly. Her face was extremely ugly, with a large hooked nose in the middle, a protruding, pus-dripping bump on the tip of her nose and on her chin, dense wrinkles like scars, and a pair of swollen eyes.
Of course, if you don't think that this iconic costume and looks don't prove that she is a witch, then ...... At the hand of the corpse. A hat, a broom, and an apple were also dropped.
The hat is a black peaked wide-brimmed hat; The broom was wooden, the style that Mr. Potter used to ride; Apples, on the other hand, are bright red and plump, just plucked from the tree.
"Let me tell you, there were two fatal wounds." Feng Bujue said, then squatted next to the corpse, faced the dead corpse that emitted a strange smell, and explained without pressure: "And both places are obvious. β
He reached over his flashlight and focused the light on the top of the witch's head. Visible in light. The corpse's skull had been torn open, brains and blood were running to the ground, and the brains in the skull were gone.
"The first place is in the head. Someone used a sharp weapon to blow her head along the hairline. Feng Bujue said: "As for the whereabouts of the brain...... You'll understand in a moment. β
looked at Feng Bujue's understated explanation, and his demeanor like a hundred battles. The three teammates were all in awe.
"The second place is the ribcage." Feng unconsciously shifted the light of the flashlight down and shone on the witch's torso.
The witch had been disemboweled, her ribs had been broken open to the sides, and her organs were all exposed to the air.
"The heart and gallbladder were removed." Feng Bujue said, "Other organs have different degrees of damage, but at least they remain in the body. β
"So...... How do you see that...... There are four murderers? Autumn Wind asked.
"Oh, the hint is still obvious." Feng stood up unconsciously. "First of all, there is no doubt that this is a witch." He said as he picked up his flashlight. Shine on a wall just two meters away from the corpse.
All three teammates looked surprised at this moment, because there was a line of blood writing on the wall.
This line is in English, and there is a translation in the system menu, which reads: "There is no place in the world like your own home. γ
"Secondly. That's the prompt. Feng Bujue continued.
"Hey...... Could this be ......" The chief had already understood, but the other two seemed to be a little confused.
"That's right. This is Dorothy's line at the end of "The Wizard of Oz". Feng Bujue shone the light of the flashlight on the old witch's feet again: "Look, she doesn't have shoes on her feet, which can be regarded as proof." β
"Just kidding......" This time, Qiu Feng and Honghu also realized who the "four murderers" in Feng Bujue's mouth were.
"yes, it's as simple as a joke." Feng Bujue illuminated the corpse with light and explained: "It's nothing more than the four of them subduing the witch together, and then the lion tore open her torso and took the 'guts' from it, and the tin man dug out the 'heart', and then used an axe to split the witch's heavenly spirit Gai'er, so that the scarecrow took away the 'brain'." As for Dorothy, she took the witch's magic shoes. His tone was very relaxed, and he also said to the words on the wall in passing: "Nine out of ten people who write on the wall of the crime scene are idiots, and one is a genius." He pursed his lips and shook his head: "But this line of writing makes me feel very incomprehensible." He looked at his teammates with inquiring eyes: "What do you think?" β
"My opinion is...... You're too calm, aren't you? Qiu Feng said: "When I say 'just kidding', I mean that the current situation ruins my childhood!" β
"Oh...... That's what you mean. Feng Bujue said: "Unfortunately, I sneered at this kind of children's literature when I was a child, although I read a lot of it......"
"Artists are really a little abnormal," Honghu complained coldly, and then brought the topic back on track: "About this line ......of blood...... I think there are two possibilities. He paused for a moment and continued: "First, the murderer has nothing to do with the quartet of the Wizard of Oz, and this line is left by the real murderer to mislead us; Second, suppose that Dorothy and her party killed the witch...... Then it is possible that the line was prompted by the system and not written by anyone. β
"Hmm...... It's pretty much the same as my initial assumption. Feng Bujue nodded: "Okay, let's go to the second location." He shone a flashlight on the corpse and said, "Oh, by the way, there is no need to ensure the integrity of the scene now, take everything you can take, maybe it will be useful." β
So, except for Feng Bujue, each of the three people picked up an item.
Honghu had a hand to hold a flashlight, so he picked up the smallest apple; Qiu Feng took a broom under Brother Jue's Jian yì (when Qiu Feng investigated the reason, Feng Bujue replied - the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves); The Captain took the witch's pointed broad-brimmed hat.

The descriptions of these three items uphold the overall style of the script...... I just don't give you clear hints. It's up to you to figure out how to use it. Anyway, the penultimate article can't be brought out of the script, which proves that they are eighty percent useful.
"Look at these blood-stained footprints...... Feng Bujue led his teammates to the second crime scene. On the one hand, he also used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the marks on the marble floor tiles: "The most obvious is the footprints of a lion, followed by a tin man." He pointed with his finger: "The shallower cloth shoe prints are scarecrows, and the remaining two rows of small footprints are naturally left by Dorothy." β
As they walked along the wall, they came to the second place where the corpse was displayed, and it was only about a hundred meters away from the place where the witch died.
"What's going on here......" said Akikaze.
This time, the two corpses that appeared in front of him, one was a little girl in a blue dress and blouse. There is also a huge lion.
Feng Bujue stepped forward like a narrator and spoke with great interest: "Dorothy should have been killed by a lion. He used a flashlight to shine a flashlight at the corpse's head: "A large piece of the side of the neck was bitten off, even the flesh and bones were torn off, and the face was also scratched with a claw like the protagonist of a horror movie." β
He turned his head. Pointing to a pair of silver high heels scattered next to Dorothy's corpse: "These should be witches' shoes." It seems that she did not immediately change into these shoes after killing the witch, but simply carried them in her hands and took them away. β
"Wait......" Ji Chang said, "How do I remember that in ...... "The Wizard of Oz", the magic shoes of the Oriental Witch are red?" β
"It's a common misconception." Feng Bujue replied: "Actually, in Lyman. Frank. In Baum's original book, the shoes were silver. But because the 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz" was so classic, most of the subsequent film and television adaptations were influenced by it, setting the witch's shoes in red. β
"You know even this kind of thing......" Even Honghu expressed his amazement at the breadth of Feng Bujue's knowledge.
"It's common sense." Feng Bujue replied.
"What common sense...... You didn't just say it. I don't even know who the author of the Wizard of Oz is......" Autumn Wind said bluntly.
"Then I can't help it, it's common sense for me anyway." Feng Bujue came to the lion's corpse again: "Let's take a look at this guy again." β
"Apparently hacked to death with an axe." Honghu looked at the lion's corpse and said, "And judging by the angle and depth of these wounds, as well as the blood stains on the ground. Before it died, it had a fight with the one with the axe. β
The chief continued: "Judging from the scars alone...... It was undoubtedly the lion who killed Dorothy, and the Tin Man who killed the lion. β
"It should be said that the Tin Man and the Scarecrow killed the lion together." Feng Bujue added, "Look at ......" He crouched down and put the flashlight on the ground. He put his arms around the lion's head and broke the beast's mouth. "Do you see a handful of straw in his mouth?"
"Okay...... Don't be so serious......" Qiu Feng advised.
Feng Bujue closed the lion's mouth and patted the mane on his clothes, but he was stained with blood again. He didn't care too much, just stood up and said, "However, I think the power of the scarecrow can't have any effect on the lion at all, and even if he participates in the attack, it can only cause damage like scratching his boots, and it is the tin man who actually killed the lion." β
"There's a message here...... too," Honghu said, the flashlight in his hand was already shining in the direction of the wall.
The walls here are also written in blood.
"Ah, that's right." Feng Bujue responded: "It is also a very directional hint." β
[When you think you're getting what you want, you've lost more]
The three people except Brother Jue stared at this line of words for a long time, and it was the chief who spoke first: "Putting aside the philosophical significance that this sentence may cover...... The metaphor should be ......" He paused for a second and continued: "The lion gained the strength of 'guts', so he wanted to eat Dorothy, and the tin man with a conscience and the scarecrow with a 'brain' killed the lion after seeing this scene." β
"On the face of it...... Indeed it is. Honghu continued.
"Oh? On the surface? The chief doubted.
Qiu Feng also read on the side: "If you think about it carefully...... There are a lot of doubts. β
"For example?" The Comptroller asked.
Honghu replied, "If the lion did not have the courage to attack before he gained guts, then how can the death of the old witch be explained?" He pushed his glasses: "Also, since Dorothy got the witch's shoes, why didn't she put them on and leave, these shoes have teleportation powers, don't they?" β
Feng Bujue said again: "Hmm...... These questions will also be put aside for the time being. As he spoke, he bent down and picked up the silver magic shoes, "Come with me to the stairs leading to the fourth floor." β
