Chapter 5 Reasoning

Before Sakaki's words fell, Lance smiled and continued, "Huh...... Interestingly, I'm also interested in the outcome of this bet. ”

"But......" Cha Wuchen said at this time, "to verify this result...... The only way to do this is to turn its hypothetical scenario into reality. ”

"Hey, hey......" Li Xiaofan heard this, and quickly interjected loudly, "I don't plan to work hard for such an assumption." ”

"No one has any plans to do that." Sakaki smiled, "But...... It's okay to deduce it, right? ”

"It's hard to get an accurate answer to this kind of thing by deduction." Che Wuchen said, "There are too many factors involved in the 'melee'...... Everyone's strategies, habits, reactions, abilities, and even the arrangement of seats, and luck ...... All have the potential to have an impact on the final outcome. ”

"No, no, it doesn't have to be that complicated." "The kind of 'deduction' you are talking about is an objective analysis from a third-party perspective, which does require a lot of data to unfold, and my idea is ...... Each of us is only speculating from our own position whether we will survive this 'hypothetical scenario'. ”

"Boring." Sui Bian slumped on the back of his chair, "After all, this is a gamble between 'him' and you, why should we get involved in such an inexplicable thing in order to cooperate with you?" ”

"Why are you busy?" Sakaki asked rhetorically, "We were sitting here discussing something inexplicable." ”

"Hah! You can say that again! Lance suddenly smiled at this time and said, "Little brother, you have a future, I am optimistic about you." ”

"Passing the prize." Sakaki responded perfunctorily, and it was clear that he didn't understand the other meaning behind Lance's words.

I said...... Isn't it a little extra for me to sit here? Sui Bian, who was between Sakaki and Lance, complained in a mocking tone, "You two just go and have a room to talk." ”

"Huh...... Whether you sit here or not, you just have to know in your own mind. Lance replied with a sneer, "As for opening a room or something, if I really want to open it, I won't look for him......" He said as he put his hand on the back of the Sui Changing Chair, "...... How nice it was to find you. ”

As soon as he said this, more than half of the people present showed strange looks.

Of course, it's not a look of disgust or disgust, but an expression similar to "oh~understood".

"Can you stay away from me?" A second later, Sui Chang squinted at Lance and squeezed out the sentence from between his teeth.

"Just kidding." Lance is also faceless, and after acting in such a play, he can still change the topic casually, "So...... Without further ado, I'll start with that. He licked his lips and said, "If the thirteen people here fight, I don't know what happens to the others, anyway, I ...... Absolutely, yes, no, yes, yes, dead. ”

He finished this sentence word by word, and Sui Bian next to him immediately snorted coldly when he heard it: "Hmph, you are quite confident." The disdain in his tone was palpable.

"'Won't die' isn't it......" and Jack heard something else from these words, "The 'ability' that can do this is actually quite difficult. ”

"Alas...... You're good to go. A few seconds later, Meng Yuhan continued, "What about me...... You don't have to do the math, you know that once you fight, you will definitely die. He said, gesturing to Jack on his left, "And I guess I'm going to be killed by this guy within five seconds of the fight." ”

"It won't take you more than five seconds to kill you." Jack turned his head, looked at Meng Yuhan, and continued in his tone of "calmly stating the facts", "Of course, in the situation of 'sudden scuffle', I won't survive much longer than you." He paused for half a second, then added, "It is conservatively estimated that at least two of you here have the strength to slaughter all of us in the encounter, and there are several who can rely on their ability to get out of here safely...... In short, if the assumption is true, the last person to survive will definitely not be me. ”

"That shouldn't be me." Che Wuchen continued at this time, "I don't have any advantage in the melee. ”

After he finished speaking, it was Darkwater's turn.

"I'll kill One, Three, Five, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, then Nine, Four, Two, and Thirteen." Dark Water's speech was obviously based on his own true strength, and had nothing to do with the strength of the shadow weaving he pretended, "After killing these ten people, there should be no one else in the room." ”

In his words, he ignored two people.

The reason for ignoring Seven is understandable, as Seven can avoid getting involved in the battle and disappear from everyone's memory by going back in time.

And the reason why he ignored the Eight...... The reason for this is also overlooked.

"I won't say more." After Dark Water finished speaking, Uncle Xue continued, "What is a 'hypothesis' for you is just a 'choice' for me, and after I make a choice, the original hypothesis no longer exists. ”

His voice lagged behind, No. 8 didn't answer, and No. 9 Fang Xiangqi took over directly: "Although I think this topic is boring, I have to admit it...... There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people...... Since Six thinks she can kill me, then I'll be really good, so I shouldn't be the one who survives to the end. ”

As his words landed, everyone naturally turned their attention to Ten.

"Are you all looking at me?" Dr. Franklin, with a blue nose and swollen face, widened his eyes and slammed his fists on the table as he shouted, "Mess with me and I'll ruin me!" Extinguish! Earth! Ball! ”

"Okay, let me know before you destroy the earth, and I'll see if I can travel to another world by touching the electric door." Li Xiaofan borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and took a joking remark, which can be regarded as showing weakness.

"I'm on the same page as Four." Solid also continued, "If I am given enough intelligence and time to make plans and preparations, maybe I can kill you all one by one, but if there is a sudden scuffle...... I don't think I'll survive to the end. ”

"Hmm......" After Solid's words were finished, Sakaki nodded and groaned, then thought for a moment before he said, "I have remembered everyone's views except for the number one who doesn't want to cooperate with me, thank you for the information......"

Sakaki also ignores the fact that Eight didn't say anything.

"Wait." After a breath, Sui Bian suddenly said to Sakaki in a questioning tone, "You don't seem to have said anything yourself, do you?" ”

"I don't have to say it." Sakaki shrugged in response.

"Why?" Sui Chang asked, and added a second later, "Why?" ”

Sakaki smiled, and he lightly tapped the I-PEN that had been folded by him with his finger, and replied, "Because what 'he' wants to bet with me is not 'who will survive after the thirteen people here' in the melee......"

As soon as these words came out, Sui Chang was shocked in his heart, and a feeling of "being calculated" also rose faintly.

After a few seconds, he began to think of something in hindsight......

First of all, Lance's praise of Sakaki is probably not just casual talk; Lance may have seen through Sakaki's lie from the beginning, which is why he said it with a smile.

Secondly, the remarks that Lance said to Sui Bian, "Whether it is redundant for you to sit here, you just need to know it in your own heart" and "If you want to open a room, how good it is to find you", if you think about it carefully at this moment, it is more like a malicious and obscene hint...... implies that he has seen through Sui Chang's identity and ability.

And more importantly, it only took Sakaki a minute to unlock the I-PEN and tell the misleading information in a very relaxed manner, and what kind of plan did he come up with in that minute? What did he see in I-PEN? Is what he is going to say next true or false? Will it be another new round of temptation?

These questions made Sui Bian's mind more and more confused and anxious......

Whether it is a thief with a weak heart or a lack of city government, even if he has long regarded undercover missions as an "imitator" of daily life, it is the first time he has encountered such a dangerous and unpredictable situation.

The people at this table, everyone's "wisdom" or "martial arts", made Sui Chang feel uneasy and confused...... This feeling is even more breathless for him than being directly exposed.

Just when Sui became hesitant, the second half of Sakaki's sentence came out: "What he really wants to bet with me is ......" As if to avoid everyone's suspicion, Sakaki said while picking up the I-PEN again and showing the document he had just read in front of everyone.

It reads: "Of the thirteen jurors in this room, one of them is an undercover agent sent by an organization, and if you can find out within ten minutes, you will win the bet; At that time, I will come to you in person and tell you the purpose of this trial.]

"......I see," Li Xiaofan said immediately after reading the text, "In order to find out the undercover agent, you came up with the idea of using false information to test us." He sat down forward, turning his head to look at Sakaki, "...... Your mind is spinning pretty fast, and you barely think about it before you make up a pretty effective nonsense. ”

"The sooner you lie, the more natural it is, and the longer you think about it, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion." Sakaki continued.

"Then tell us the truth now, do you show ......," Solid continued, "...... Do you already have a conclusion? ”

"I'll just explain them one by one in the order of numbers." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Sollid beside him, "Let's start with you, uncle......" He raised his hand and made an introductory gesture to the other party, "In all fairness, you exude the smell of veteran oil from head to toe, both the sitting posture and the calluses on your hands show that you have served in the federal army for many years, plus your face that looks like an old-school action movie actor...... Anyone who chooses someone like you with distinctive characteristics and unforgettable at a glance as an undercover agent is really blind. ”

After complaining about Solid, Sakaki propped his elbows on the table, leaned over, and turned his gaze to Li Xiaofan: "Let's talk about the brother of No. 11, your problem is similar to Uncle No. 12, you may not be a very eye-catching person when you don't speak or talk less, but your Caucasian appearance and unusually authentic Longjun accent are really impossible to ignore...... The probability that you are undercover is true, but I don't think it's high. ”

"Little brother, let me interrupt ......you a little," at this time, Li Xiaofan suddenly smiled, "How do you know what the document says, or what 'he' conveys...... Is it certain, and 'all' true? ”

"Huh...... You tell me? Sakaki threw the question back.

"Because you're 'the one described in the docs,' right?" Li Xiaofan understood that Sakaki's response was a temptation and game, and he didn't mind making his words clear, "If I guessed correctly, you are Sakaki Wuxuan." ”

"Exactly." Sakaki didn't intend to hide it, because he knew that most people should have already guessed it.

"Sakaki-kun, what if I tell you ......" Li Xiaofan said again, "What if I found something wrong about the information given by 'him'?" ”

"Oh? For example......" Sakaki motioned to the other party to continue.

"For example...... Number Two is not a judge at all. Li Xiaofan replied.

As soon as these words came out, everyone once again showed different looks; Calm, sneering, dazed, noncommittal......

As the discussion progressed, things became more and more complicated.

The jurors could not determine whether "his" words were accurate, nor could they determine whether Li Xiaofan's words were true or false, even with meticulous logic and extraordinary courage, it was difficult to make a conclusive judgment in the absence of such information.

"So...... Do you know the real judges? Sakaki continued to probe.

"I don't know." Li Xiaofan, who had his memory adjusted, didn't recognize "this Lance sitting here", and the deviation of his memory made him have another cognition, "But I know the whereabouts of the real judge...... He wasn't in Dragon County at all, but in the Americas. ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Meng Yuhan also reacted, "So when I finished reading the 'third (actually the fourth) document' and the identity of No. 4 announcing No. 2, you specifically asked, 'Is it the judge who killed the head of the FCPS European headquarters'." ”

"I asked...... Li Xiaofan turned his gaze to the dark water when he answered, "but he himself hasn't responded yet, and No. 6 seems to be covering for him...... Bringing the conversation to 'revenge insurance', and then, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Seven suddenly jumped out and voted 'guilty' in order to prevent the murder from happening. ”

"Heh......" Lance smiled, "then you say I'm not a judge, what evidence do you have?" He spread out his hands, tilted his head to look at Li Xiaofan and said, "If you want me to say, your current behavior can be completely interpreted as 'undercover agents confusing the public in order to clear suspicions'...... Assuming your description is true, 'his' words will lose credibility, and we will lose the only information that has been reliable so far...... Once we get to that point, it doesn't matter if there's an undercover agent or not, because everything we're talking about is going to be meaningless. ”

"OK~OK~" Li Xiaofan raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, "Then I won't say it...... So as not to increase our suspicions, let's continue to listen to Sakaki-kun's analysis. ”

After being interrupted by him, the distrust between the crowd deepened, and Sakaki's identity was revealed; It can be said that except for Sui Bian, no one thinks that Li Xiaofan has done a good thing.

"Then I'll go on......" Sakaki's gaze continued to push forward, "Hmm...... I won't mention the reason why Ten and Nine are not undercover agents, I don't mean to discriminate, Dr. Franklin, don't look at me like that......" He quickly looked away from the topic, "Then, Number Seven ......"

Naturally, Sakaki skipped over Eight, and no one objected.

"You were one of the first people I excluded because you were so powerful...... At least in my opinion, a gambler, it's just against the sky. Sakaki looked at Uncle Xue and said, "If you are an undercover agent, then we shouldn't be discussing the topic of who is undercover at all." ”

Sakaki looked at Six again, "As for this sister, although I don't know how strong you really are, the killing order you described says a lot about it......" His tone became very serious, and his eyes became serious, "If I guessed correctly...... Your order of kills is based on the idea of knowing the abilities of everyone in this room, so I was ranked last, and Seven was not mentioned at all.

"Even though I also believe in the theory that a good female agent can exert ten or even a hundred times more energy than a male agent, I still think that the probability of you being an undercover agent is extremely low.

"A real undercover agent would not respond to the false proposition I gave you - neither bluffing nor fishing in troubled waters, which is not in line with the logic of fraudsters."

Sakaki's ability to analyze people's minds, honed in the gambling world, is indeed applicable elsewhere.

Even Lance showed a look of admiration for it, and it can be said that Lance is indeed becoming more and more "optimistic" about Sakaki.

"Next up is the car agent." Sakaki paused for a few seconds, then looked at Che Wuchen, "On the surface, your suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest, your identity as an FCPS agent has been exposed in the document, and the tenth has also confirmed this, and you have a history of undercover...... But because of this, I don't think you're the 'right answer' to the gamble that 'he' proposed, at most...... It's just a trick. ”

"But how do you know that 'he' isn't using your reverse thinking to deliberately trick you?" Cha Wuchen asked.

"Of course, I also considered this possibility." "But then I remembered...... After the identity was revealed, what Second said about 'undercover', and your reaction after hearing it.

"Thinking of this...... I am 90% sure that the undercover mission mentioned in the first document and in which you participated was lurking next to the judge, and your identity had already been discovered by the judge, but you didn't know it at the time. ”

"Oh?" Cha Wuchen was still expressionless, and said to Sakaki, "Why don't I remember any reaction I had after hearing that sentence?" ”

The psychological quality of the car detective is extremely strong, and he will not be deceived by the other party.

"yes, no response, that's exactly what you are suspicious about......" Sakaki replied, "at that time...... As soon as the identity of No. 2 was revealed, he immediately came up with a line that obviously meant something, and deliberately added half a sentence 'You don't have to pay too much attention to it', as if it was meant for someone present, at this time...... Anyone would look at him to see who he was looking at; You're the only one who avoids making eye contact with him, and your face is expressionless, as if you haven't heard anything. ”

Then, there was silence for about five seconds.

"Alas......" Five seconds later, Che Wuchen let out a sigh.

He understood that he was really caught this time, and he was also convinced: "He is worthy of being a professional gambler, and his observation and analysis skills are impressive." ”

"Inspector Officer...... You're welcome. Sakaki doesn't have a liking for the federal agents, and it's obvious to be sarcastic to use an honorific title here, "So...... Let's talk about the uncle of No. 4 again......" A second later, before the car detective could reply, he quickly uncovered the words, looked at Jack and said, "If No. 7 didn't lie...... In another timeline, you've got a murder and an attempted murder...... And as far as I know, or as we all know, those who go undercover generally kill people when they end their lurk, rather than when they start to go undercover, so you're not in my consideration. ”

"You don't have to say anything!" In the next second, Sakaki didn't speak, just a pair of eyes, Meng Yuhan rushed to the road, "I'm the key suspect, the object didn't run." ”

"Yes, you guy is super suspicious, there's no reason to ......" Sakaki replied as if he was telling a joke and shaking off his baggage, and then shrugged his shoulders, really "not talking" about him, but turned directly to Lance Dao, "As for you......" He raised his eyes and said in a strange tone, "You don't look like an undercover agent, but a bit like the mastermind behind this so-called 'trial'." ”
