Chapter 44: Out
Zhen Kuang, Jia Lai, high school students, and middle-aged people who looked like intellectuals were already waiting in the corridor.
Everyone remained quiet, even closing the door lightly, and the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual took out a lighter from his pocket after confirming that everyone had arrived.
After wiping out the flames, he brought the lighter close to the door lock, and a few seconds later, something magical happened, and the copper door lock began to melt silently.
With the temperature of the lighter and the heat released, it would be impossible to melt a piece of copper in such a short period of time under normal circumstances.
Therefore, there is only one answer, the lighter in the hands of middle-aged people is also a game prop.
However, he apparently had no idea of an explanation, and quickly retrieved the lighter when the lock melted.
Immediately after the high school student pushed open the door and rushed in with Jia Lai, after everyone entered the house, Zhen Kuang closed the door as fast as he could, and at the same time plugged the melted key with the towel in his hand to prevent the sound in the house from coming out.
But it soon became apparent that their actions seemed to be redundant.
There wasn't much movement of the door lock melting, but when the high school students and Jarley rushed into the house, basically not everyone who slept particularly well would be woken up.
However, Bruno was still asleep in bed.
Even when the middle-aged man who looked like an intellectual walked to the side of the bed and reached out and patted his cheek, he still didn't react, just muttered twice and turned over.
The middle-aged man turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, bent down, picked up a small medicine bottle that had fallen on the ground, and put it under the light to look at it.
"What is this? Sleeping pills. The high school student asked.
The middle-aged man didn't answer, opened the medicine bottle, took out a capsule, opened it, and poured the medicine powder inside on the back of his hand, but he couldn't see anything.
"Can you show me?" Zhen Kuang on the other side stretched out his hand.
"Of course." The middle-aged man handed over the medicine bottle in his hand.
Zhen Kuang inspected it very carefully, not only opened it and smelled it, but also used his little thumb to pick out a few pills from the medicinal powder and taste them, and finally came to the conclusion, "This thing is a bit like LSD." ”
"What is LSD?" Jallai asked.
"A hallucinogen, whose scientific name is D-lysergic acid diethylamine, can cause the user to hallucinate intensely, and this sensation is difficult to describe, like you can see the flow of sounds, colors, everything around you is elongated and deformed, becoming part of your fantasy...... I was tricked into trying this stuff once in a nightclub, and as far as I know, it can also be addictive to addicts. ”
"Huh? What do you mean. "Jarley was still a little confused.
"So it's actually a drug." The middle-aged man who looks like an intellectual is straightforward.
At this time, the high school students on the other side had already started to tie up Bruno, and everyone realized that Bruno was not actually asleep, his eyes were open, but they were narrowly narrow, and he still maintained a stupid smile on his face, as if he was completely unaware of his current situation.
"It turns out that this guy is an addict, no wonder he looks weak every day." Jia Lai suddenly.
"Don't worry about these for now, it's important to get down to business, let's search and see what props he has on him." A middle-aged humane who looks like an intellectual.
In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of this opportunity to steal the props, the players worked in pairs, supervised each other, and a quarter of an hour passed, not only did they search Bruno's body, but also turned his place upside down, even the water tank behind the toilet lid.
Eventually, they found two props in the room, a fork and a feline tooth, but they were unidentified in the hands of everyone except Bruno, and they would have to wait until Bruno came to his senses, or at least until he was conscious enough to communicate.
However, LSD lasted for a long time, and it wasn't until nearly five o'clock that Bruno recovered a little, and after realizing his current situation, he showed great anger, shouting that he would kill the middle-aged man in the lead.
But when the latter placed the bottle of LSD in front of him, he finally calmed down again.
The intellectual-looking middle-aged man pushed his glasses, "So the reason why you didn't let us search us before was because of this, you know very well that NASA will not let an addict go to the moon." ”
"I told you, I didn't do those two things." Bruno said angrily, "You've found the wrong person, oh don't wait......" he stared at the middle-aged man, "Or maybe you're the real murderer, deliberately diverting the attention of other people to me, don't you do it again?" ”
The middle-aged man shook his head, "It's a little late at this time, isn't it, no matter what, we have to solve the problem on your side first, and I will ask you a few questions below, I hope you can answer them truthfully." ”
Bruno sneered when he heard this, "What if I answer truthfully, you won't tell the NASA people about my LSD use?" After he finished speaking, he looked at the other four people in the room, "Sooner or later, you will all regret it, haven't you found out yet, it doesn't matter who the murderer is, he is just taking advantage of this opportunity to kill the person who is the biggest threat to him, I am the first," his gaze moved to the high school student on the side, and warned, "You will be the second." ”
His words clearly touched the high school student, who had a look of hesitation on his face.
At this time, the middle-aged man spoke again, "Don't let his words disturb your emotions and judgment, if you want to improve your rank, you must step past him, so it will only be a good thing for you that he is out, this is the result that will not change no matter what, we need to focus on finding the murderer first, what other ideas can be discussed later, do you agree?" ”
There was no objection to what everyone had said.
The middle-aged man moved a stool and sat down in front of Bruno, "I know you hate me now, and I admit that I planned the action against you tonight, because you have always been the most suspicious among us, ......but," he said, "I must admit that your previous reasoning is not unreasonable, if I were a murderer, I would indeed use this matter to kill the person who threatens me, so I decided to give you a chance to fight back and prove that you are not a murderer, so that your reasoning will be more credible...... Although you will still be out, I will become the most suspicious person after you are out, isn't this kind of thing what you want to see? ”
"Heh, save it, I'm not just a three-year-old child, I know very well what you want, I won't give you what you want, you may never know who the murderer is, so, pray that you are not the next target." At this time, Bruno completely relaxed, and after the LSD's secret was exposed, he knew that he was finished, and he made it clear that he didn't want to cooperate with the middle-aged man's investigation.
