Chapter 20: Suspicion
In the end, it is a group of people who have experienced the tragic situation of life and death, if it were ordinary people, they might be frightened even if they saw a corpse, but this group of people frowned at the moment they saw the corpse.
"Get out of the way."
Yu Duo pushed away the other people blocking the entrance, walked directly into the room, and directly reached out to touch the arteries in Zhang Lei's already bloody neck.
Then, the other players followed.
"How? Is he dead, dead? β
A slightly chubby young man looked a little anxious, as if he was eager to hear the conclusion.
"It's out of breath."
Yu Duo's expression also looked more solemn, and he glanced at the slightly chubby guy.
Li Tianran noticed the subtle exchange of expressions on their expressions, and felt that they seemed to know each other, and also seemed to know the dead Zhang Lei, if the guess was right, they should be players on the same team.
The fat guy's name is Qiu Shanglong, after hearing Yu Duo's answer, both of them clenched tightly, as if he was very angry but didn't want to be looked at by others, his mouth was pursed but his teeth were gritted.
Qian Long also then examined Zhang Lei's body: "Look like this...... Was it poisoned? β
There was a sudden silence at the scene, and fear spread instantly, and everyone was suspicious of the person next to them, because the murderer had managed to kill the first person without being detected.
β¦β¦
Li Tianran walked around Zhang Lei's room, there was not the slightest trace of a fight in the room, and there was only a broken teacup on the ground. If you guess correctly, this tea must be poisonous, and Zhang Lei really drank this cup of poisoned tea and died of poisoning, and the poison was the poison he saw through the grocery store that the person who bought the poison.
But how did the murderer poison, although Zhang Lei's door was slightly open, but judging from the situation at the scene, the door should have been opened from the room, that is, Zhang Lei wanted to ask for help after finding out that he was poisoned, so he struggled to the door of the room and opened the door, but it was too late.
Judging from the level of fear that Zhang Lei showed before, if he didn't want to go out, he wouldn't have opened the door to anyone easily, let alone being poisoned, and even the chance for the murderer to be poisoned would not exist.
Could it be that the murderer is someone Zhang Lei knew, after cleverly deceiving Zhang Lei to open the door, he put the poison into the teacup, and then returned to his room, quietly waiting for Zhang Lei to be poisoned to death when he drank water?
It is certainly impossible for the murderer to sit and watch Zhang Lei drink water and be poisoned to death before escaping Zhang Lei's room, if that is the case, the murderer simply does not have enough time to make the illusion that Zhang Quan's body is blocking the door of the house, and even when Zhang Lei is poisoned, he will be entangled with him before he dies, and even be hit by the player who rushed to hear the sound.
"In the past two hours, have any of you ever left the room?"
Although he knew that no one would answer, Li Tianran still wanted to observe everyone's reaction by asking.
Unsurprisingly, hearing this question, everyone's expressions changed to varying degrees, and no one answered.
Just when everyone was silent, Liu Feng walked in front of the person: "In the past two hours, no one has left the room, except for ......" Liu Feng glanced at Qian Long, swallowed and spit, and continued: "Except that Qian Long has been sitting at the door with the door open. β
"Qian Long is sitting at the door with the door open? All the time? How would you know? β
Li Tianran hurriedly asked.
"Because, I ......"
Liu Feng wanted to speak and stopped, glanced at Hu Ting, Hu Ting's cheeks suddenly flushed, turned her face and nodded, and motioned for Liu Feng to continue.
"After you all returned to the room, I proved to Hu Ting that I was not in danger, and entered Hu Ting's room, I was originally on the same team as Hu Ting, and the other members were all dead in the first two levels, so I wanted to take care of each other, just before I entered Hu Ting's room, I glanced at both sides of the corridor and found Qian Long...... Qian Long was already sitting at the door. β
I'm afraid this is not seeking to take care of it, judging from Hu Ting's scattered hair and dissatisfied expression, I am afraid that the two of you were in the room just now, and this may also be a means for Hu Ting to survive, Li Tianran said.
As soon as Liu Feng finished speaking, everyone's suspicious eyes looked at Qian Long.
"How long have you been in Hu Ting's room?" Li Tianran asked.
"Ten...... Fifteen minutes. β
Liu Feng only said the time.
Smart, Liu Feng's actions seem to be unintentional, but he is telling everyone that he is not a murderer and has an alibi, and he gave Hu Ting an alibi.
"I said brother, you're fast enough! There's no shortage of masturbation on weekdays, right? This is not good, we men want to live well and strengthen our kidneys. Yang can't be less, how to understand health care products? As long as 998, 998 you can't buy it, you can't lose money, you can't buy it. β
Zhao Sen's advertising slogan was suddenly implanted and everyone sighed, at this time, he still had something to advertise, and his thin pestle jet could be used as a monkey, afraid that whoever bought it would be fooled.
This person is not a policeman, if he is a policeman, I am afraid that it will be useless.
"You ......"
After listening to Zhao Sen's words, Liu Feng was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
"So you killed the man?"
At this time, everyone knows the truth, and others also feel that Qian Long is the most suspicious, but they don't dare to squeak, everyone knows that it doesn't matter if Qian Long is the real murderer now, with Qian Long's physique, if he is really a murderer, he will retaliate on the spot before he dies, I am afraid that one of the people present will not be able to run. However, Yu Duo was different, and his attitude was determined to be questioned on the spot.
This also further confirmed Li Tianran's conjecture, and Yu Duo knew Zhang Lei.
As soon as Qian Long moved, everyone present immediately became vigilant, and his body subconsciously moved back, but he didn't expect Qian Long to be surprisingly calm, and his tone was calm: "I didn't kill ......" almost made two words and almost said it, if you reveal your professional information according to the rules of the game, you will be sentenced out directly.
"I'm not." Qian Long replied again.
Yu Duo didn't seem to be satisfied with Qian Long's answer at all, clenched his fists and wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Qiu Shanglong.
The scene is again at an impasse.
β¦β¦
Li Tianran squatted down, carefully observed Zhang Lei's corpse, the broken water cup on the ground, and the water sprinkled on the ground, and opened the kettle, but he didn't find anything special.
"Click......"
Li Tianran stepped on the fragment of the broken cup, lowered his head and picked it up, facing the clueless case, his heart was a little listless, his brain kept assuming, but he never knew how the murderer poisoned.
Suddenly, Li Tianran found that the fragments of this cup were stained with some white powder, but he didn't say it on the spot.
"I propose that we all get together, so that the murderer will not be able to kill."
It was Chen Shan, who had been silent, who had been silent.
"Yes, yes, so we'll all be safe."
Hu Ting responded and said yes.
"Oh, naΓ―ve, if we all get together, the murderer will not be able to commit the crime again, but again, we have no way to find out who the murderer is, if so, when the time comes, I am afraid that everyone present will be eliminated."
Zhang Quan walked out of the room alone after saying this.
"Hey...... You wait......"
Chen Shan tried to stop Zhang Quan, but failed.
The others also seemed to be more inclined to Zhang Quan's opinion, and without saying anything, they left Zhang Lei's room one after another.
When Qian Long was about to leave, Yu Duo's expression was hideous, as if he didn't want to let Qian Long go, and said viciously: "You give me some attention, I will keep an eye on you." β
Qian Long didn't react and walked straight out.
Li Tianran and Sun Yufan also returned to the room again, and when they left, except for Chen Shan, who proposed to hold a group, he followed Qiu Shanglong more.
Li Tianran recalled Zhang Lei's scared expression, clutching the fragment of the cup that he had secretly picked up in his hand, his nose was sore and he felt sad and sad, people are often like this, the more things they don't want to happen, the more they will happen to themselves, and Zhang Lei's wish is just to live and accompany his wife to old age.
But it's a game that takes people's lives.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find the murderer." Li Tianran looked at the fragments of the cup with a resolute attitude.
Immediately afterwards, Li Tianran took the currency at the bedside and turned on the switch of the TV.
"Need something?"
This time, no other window opened, and the grocery store owner and Li Tianran began to communicate one-on-one.
This is the only one missing from the twelve, and although the player can't see the windows of the other players from the window opened by the TV, he can clearly see the appearance of the grocery store owner.
This person was indeed the same person at the table before, he looked thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a beard, a medium build, and a pair of eyes that looked rather blank, and he didn't know who his teammates were.
"What's going on in your room? Is it possible to connect to all recognized rooms? Li Tianran asked tentatively.
"No comment." The grocery store owner replied.
"We can't see the other players, can you see that?" Li Tianran then asked.
"No comment." The grocery store owner still said the same thing.
"Hey, what's going on in your room, how did you get in." Li Tianran has always been curious about where the door of the grocery store is.
"This, I just 'whoosh' came in all at once, I really don't know this, and I can't get out." The grocery store owner replied with a clear eye.
After asking three questions in succession, Li Tianran deduced that the grocery store owner could only answer that he didn't know, so he didn't ask if he was bored.
"So what do you need?" The grocery store owner asked.
"Is there anything you can buy here?" The rules of the game didn't specify what exactly the grocery store would buy, so I turned it over and thought about it, maybe as long as it was something substantial, it would be possible to buy it.
"As long as it's something on Earth, as long as it can be handed out through such a large window, it's fine." The grocery store owner replied.
"Okay, then I need ......"
Li Tianran handed out 200 currency.
"Click......
The TV was closed again.
"You're actually buying a bunch of food?" Sun Yufan looked at Sun Yufan in surprise, thinking to himself, shouldn't he buy more things for self-defense in the small store at this time? Since you can buy anything, you can buy guns and ammunition in case you need it.
"What's wrong? Aren't you hungry? β
was asked by Li Tianran, Sun Yufan's stomach "gurgling".
"I will find out the murderer for Zhang Lei, and I won't let him die blindly, but eating is a must, just like you said, this game is a full three days and three nights, I think the murderer will not start the next round of murder immediately after killing a person, that is too risky, so we can take the opportunity to replenish our physical strength first, and then rethink the whole case."
Chewing every bite of food, Li Tianran is like a barberry swallowing needle.
Seeing Li Tianran's firm attitude, Sun Yufan seemed to have noticed that Li Tianran was very likely to be a detective or a policeman.
