Spear and shield
finally began to clear the suspicion, but he had to stand up and question. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
The questions raised seemed unconnected, but they meant that she had discovered the core contradiction at the moment.
Looking at this smart and stubborn woman who almost didn't look at the occasion, Liang Jingmo smiled heartily.
"Good question." He gave a thumbs up.
"You obviously missed it yourself in the discussion." Yukihiko said half-jokingly. He turned to Wen Ji and patiently explained, "We've discussed this privately before. Chris died because he tried to negotiate a deal privately with the host before the crime, and at that time he said something that might have been misunderstood by the mole, making the mole mistakenly think that he had recognized his identity......"
"That's even weirder." Wen Ji interrupted him.
She frowned slightly, and said word by word, "If the mole attacked Chris because he thought he knew the truth, then why did he think he would have a chance to blame me?" ”
Xue Yan's face, which had just eased up, changed again.
At this time, he finally reacted and realized that the question raised by Wen Ji actually hit the blind spot of the previous discussion. Indeed, judging from the method of constructing the secret room, this should be a deliberate misfortune, and the murderer wanted to splash dirty water on Wen Ji before the killing, which also means that the murderer was sure to mislead Chris into making a wrong judgment early on.
However, if Chris does learn the identity of the mole, then the most suspected thing he is before he dies must be the mole, no matter what kind of misleading tactics he uses, it will be ineffective. As a murderer, he must know this.
Contradiction. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. To admit that this misconception was the direct cause of Chris's death would negate the basis for the blame theory, but if it is believed that Chris's death was caused by other reasons, there is no clue to this at this point.
Wen Ji's calm thinking just hit the soft underbelly of the current good situation.
"I really get to the point." Liang Jingmo smiled, "Chris's death is certainly not accidental, just like Host Wen Ji said, if you want to blame other hosts, it is obviously more cost-effective to attack the low-level hosts." And judging from the timing of the blame, it is still too early. The real right time should be on the eve of the landing, when the nerves are at their most tense and it is easy to make mistakes before the approaching time limit. The killer chose to act on the night of Senderos's death, and he was in such a hurry, apparently influenced by some of Chris's actions. ”
"But what exactly is it, we don't have a clue yet?" Wen Ji asked.
"No, it's not that complicated. The specific thing is just like what the host Yukihiko just said, Chris misunderstood the other party when he tried to make a deal with the host, and this misunderstanding led to his death. Liang Jingmo shrugged, "He did this that day, no matter how you think about it, the problem should be here." ”
Xue Yan frowned, "But about this, didn't it prove to be a contradiction just now?" It is easy for Chris to mistakenly think that he knew the identity of the traitor, so the traitor, who was eager to cover up the truth, killed him himself - but if that were the case, there would be no such thing as blame. ”
Liang Jingmo smiled: "You have a limit to what you say - who said that misunderstandings can only be in this form?" ”
"But since it's all about the same thing......"
"You're wrong." Liang Jingmo replied lightly. He turned to Wen Ji and asked, "Host Wen Ji, I don't know what you heard from Chris?" ”
Wen Ji looked strange, "I haven't spoken to him since I got on the boat, I can hear something." ”
Xue Yan was shocked: "He didn't look for you yesterday?" ”
Seeing Wen Ji shaking his head, his face gradually became solemn.
"It's that simple, Host Yukihiko." Liang Jingmo smiled, "I just suspected that he was in contact with all the hosts in private, but this is just my suspicion, not necessarily the truth." At that time, all I could confirm was a record of his meetings with the two presenters, and after you added, that number rose to three and that's it. ”
"But so do the others......"
Yukihiko's gaze swept over the rest of the hosts, but most of them shook their heads firmly after making eye contact with him, indicating that they had not made contact with Chris.
"In fact, after listening to you, my mind changed." Liang Jingmo said, "You said at the time that Chris said that there was important information to sell and asked you for a price. And you said that if it is information related to the mole, you can meet one of his requests. That's a pretty good bargaining chip, but he still refuses. ”
"That's right." Yukihiko nodded, "Is there any problem?" ”
"I suddenly thought that maybe you were the first to mention to him the speculation of 'information about the traitor', and before that, even he didn't think that his words would cause such a misunderstanding." Liang Jingmo smiled, "Recall that you said at the time, 'After looking for the two of them, Chris also looked for me', right, how did you know that you were behind those two?" ”
Yukihiko replied, "Because I saw Chris talking to them from afar, just like you." ”
In other words, neither you nor I saw the rest of the story. After talking to you, did Chris really talk to other hosts? Not really. This is because your words inspired him, so that he found that his actions could easily provoke the real traitor, and then lead to the disaster of killing himself, so he gave up peddling information and saved himself. When you saw him leave, it was really leaving, not going to where the next host was, and I think everyone here can confirm that. ”
"But he died in the end." Wen Ji was thoughtful.
"Yes, because the murderer misunderstood his words." Liang Jingmo said, "People who hear his words directly are easy to misunderstand that he knows the information of the traitor, but if you go through a layer of paraphrasing, the situation is different." If the person is relayed with ulterior motives, he can give the murderer other illusions by his own will. I guess at that time, the moderators also saw Chris and some of the hosts from afar, just like us, but because your words reminded Chris, this contact didn't last in the end. So Chang Zai finally had to ask one of them about the situation, or vice versa, it was that person who revealed the information to him. ”
"If he takes the opportunity of a friendly reminder to reveal the information he has tampered with, such as Chris is secretly investigating another mole hidden on the ship,......" Liang Jingmo shrugged, "In this way, the murderer will have to kill before his investigation is inconclusive, and there will be no contradiction with the plan of the killing." ”
"However, the person who revealed the information ......"
Xue Yan glanced vigilantly left and right, and as far as his eyes could see, they were the "evasive" Yue Ming and the squinting senior host. According to Liang Jingmo, the three of them are the only hosts that Chris has ever been in contact with, in other words, the information revealed from them is credible, and only one of the three of them can often hint to the "whirlpool" at that time.
He knew he was innocent, in that case, one of the two?
Who is it?
Just when Xue Yan was anxious, the "whirlpool" on the side was always there, but he looked at Liang Jingmo with an indifferent face. Of course he knew who it was, but of course he didn't want to reveal it. This mystery is like a challenge book he threw to Liang Jingmo.
In this regard, Liang Jingmo seemed to have no pressure.
"Actually, it's not that hard to tell, a simple question can help me find out the truth." He looked at the three of them in turn and asked slowly, "Please answer me, before this, did the host talk to you about what Chris said?" ”
"Nope."
The answers of the three were surprisingly consistent, and their expressions were all unusual. However, when you think about it, most of these three people are lying. After all, there is no lie detector here, and Chang Zai also looks reluctant to speak, even if he lies, he will not be caught on the spot.
"'One of the three is lying', this guess should be correct. After all, 'there were two moles on board and happened to be among the three people Chris's earliest contact'...... This probability is really not large, if it is really a pair, then the situation will be very different from this time. Liang Jingmo smiled, "In short, for Chang Zai, it is obviously not enough to ask one person for this kind of important question, it is best to confirm it with more than two people." He is the same age as Yue Ming and Xue Yan, and his status must not be too different, if he asks one of them at the beginning, even if he is found out when he tries to ask the others later, the former must be embarrassed to blame him too much. ”
In that case, in addition to the one who provided the information directly, he should have confirmed with the other person. The latter is not actively providing false information, so he should not deny his experience of being in contact with him. ”
However, now all three of them said that they had not said it, which probably means that the latter person did not exist at all. He just listened to one of them, and then he decided on his next move. Either the person he trusts so much, or is so authoritative that he doesn't feel fit to reconfirm with a third party, or both. In this case, if Chris, who wrote the wrong information, was always manipulated as a marionette, then as a puppeteer, he was actually just another puppet under this person's hands. ”
As he spoke, the eyes of the people around him gradually focused on one person. He didn't need to name the person directly, because the characteristics he had just said were enough for them to make the same judgment.
However, Liang Jingmo still said it - as the final end of this detective game.
"The one who really controls everything behind the scenes is you!"
His raised finger was pointing straight at the elusive old man.
And the latter just smiled slightly, still unfathomable.
