"No, no, no." Jia Mengmei waved her hand, "The onset of that rat poison was two hours, do you mean that I gave her this cake, and she stayed there motionless for two hours?" ”
"Yes, that's the problem, why did you elope together, but you didn't leave?"
"Because we didn't elope," Jia Mengmei said, "the elopement matter, Liniang did mention it before, so when she said she wanted to meet me, I thought she was going to elope with me, but in fact, she told me after seeing me that she wanted to break up with me, so we didn't elope, and then I was very sad, and I came back, and she stayed there." ”
"Why did she suddenly change her mind?"
"Because she suddenly received a holy decree that she wanted to be the crown princess, it was just rumored that the emperor was going to choose the crown princess for the crown prince, but I thought that the prime minister's daughter was good, and her family background was very good in all aspects, but this matter has not been determined, and it was not confirmed until yesterday that she is the crown princess." Jia Mengmei said, "So she told me, I can't go with you, because it was her own business for her to go with me before, but now if she leaves, she will resist the decree, and her whole family will be affected." ”
"And what do you think?"
"I understand, I understand."
"Aren't you sad?"
"I'm sad, but I can understand it."
"Isn't it?" Bao Xiaotu suddenly raised his hand, "Friends, I opened this box just now, please see what is in it?" It's the poems he wrote to Liniang, all kinds, you see, are love poems, but here's one that says, 'Why can't people who love each other be together, hate, hate, hate!' Since you can't get it, it's better to destroy everything, just let everything disappear and go with the wind' You clearly say that you hate, and you want to destroy everything, why do you say that you can understand? You're lying. ”
"No, I can explain that." Jia Mengmei said, "I wrote this when I first came back, because to be honest, she told me that this incident hit me very hard, because I really love her, you must know that I am a poor boy, I go to chase a big lady, I have paid a lot." ”
"Why, aren't you just climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix?" The detective is dismissive.
"Don't say that, can I? I am sincere to her, so I will use my little savings to buy her what she likes, I will meet her various needs, I will sell calligraphy and paintings to buy hairpins for her. ”
"Really, it turns out that your love is so serious?"
"That's right."
"Then you will be more suspicious, and you will be more likely to hate because of love."
"Poof! I'm a mouthful of old blood, I'm poof! But I can't give her poisoned bread when she is a child, and she will die when she is a child, right? ”
"yes, that seems to make sense." The detective was a little depressed, "Oh, this is so difficult, why is the first case so difficult." ”
Hurth Bai crossed his waist and walked away: "I don't think the poison is definitely rat poison, it's that Sisha." ”
"But there's no evidence, what if it's something that will make rat poison ineffective? You think it's something written on rat poison, and if you're the one who produces rat poison, would you write it down that causes it to fail or what causes it to become more effective? ”
"Well......" said Herthbeth, who thought for a moment, "I'll write invalid, but if I'm selling rat poison, I won't write instructions like that." ”
"You're right."
"So we still have to look for this Sisha, it should have a piece of evidence pointing to Sisha."
"Then I'll go look for the scene, I'll go and see if there's anything missing from the scene." Wu Zhizhi said.
"I want to search the deceased's room, I think if her death has something to do with Sisha, and she is confined, then this Sisha should be what she would have encountered before, that is, there will be in the room."
"Rouge!" Wu Zhizhi suddenly reacted, "That's the Rouge of Sisha!" ”
"Rouge is Madame's."
"But the rouge on Madame's table, she said it wasn't the Rouge of Akasa."
Wu Zhizhi quickly rushed to the scene: "Come and see!" Look at this beautiful girl's lipstick! ”
"What's wrong with the lipstick?"
"Poof, this lipstick is so thick, a veritable death Barbie fan." Bao Xiaofu laughed.
The reason she laughed was that the deceased was a rubber doll, and her mouth was painted with Death Barbie pink lipstick, but she was wiped off halfway, and her black lips were covered underneath.
Wu Zhizhi pointed to the lipstick: "Is this the Rouge of Akasha?" Ma'am, is this your Sisa Rouge? Your rouge, that grandma said that the Rouge is different from the red used by ordinary people, and it is a very chic color, is it this chic death Barbie powder. ”
"Hmm......" Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"That's you!"
"Does that mean it's me?"
"Otherwise, what do you say?" The detective instantly raised her eyebrows, as if she had found a clue.
"What, what's there to be excited about?" Mrs. Zhao was coquettish, "I gave her this Sisha early in the morning, because the emperor decreed that she was the crown princess, and I had to express my blessing as a stepmother no matter how unhappy I was, right, so I gave her the Sisa rouge that my mother sent me, this is what I sent a few days ago, a few days ago!" And most importantly, I had no idea what it would do for Sisha. ”
"How don't you know? You've got rat poison in your possession! ”
"But I don't know if they're going to kill if they're going to kill you together. This must be someone who knows how to use it. As a lady, I don't touch the spring water with my fingers, even if I plan to kill someone, I know that the use of rat poison is already very great, do you still expect me to familiarize myself with the detailed drug properties of this rat poison? You must be the ones who know this who deal with rat poison and all that kind of thing all day long, right? ”
"That's the little apprentice." Said the detective.
"Then I didn't know she had Sisha." The little apprentice said.
"That's Haruka." The detective points to Haruka again.
"Why did you suddenly become me!" Wu Zhizhi felt so wronged.
"Hey, Haruka?" Bao Xiaotu suddenly asked her, "Did you put this pastry here in Chunxiang?" ”
"That's right."
"Then this one is five, I gave you six, what about the rest?"
"I ate it." Wu Zhizhi said.
"What are you?"
"I ate it, because I didn't eat much, so you gave me six later, and then I secretly ate one on the way."
"Huh? That's too far-fetched, isn't it? ”
"It's not far-fetched, isn't it normal for me to steal something as a young lady?" Wu Zhizhi faintly felt that everyone's gaze didn't seem right.
"Then why didn't you talk about it before?" The detective asked.
"I forgot!"
"Why would you forget something so important?"
"It doesn't matter, what does it matter if I eat the pastry!"
"There's something wrong with you."
"Nope! Hey, you're so weird, Mrs. Ming is even more wrong, right? ”
"There's nothing wrong with me, I can explain it!" Madame hurriedly said.
"I can too!"
"Your explanation is far-fetched."
"I ...... Not me anyway. Wu Zhizhi pouted and left.
"My heart is empty, and I have fled." Bao Xiaotu said.
"Nope! I don't want to talk to you! I think there's something wrong with Madame! I want Mrs. Cha! ”
"With a rhythm, dying and throeping." Madame shook her head and said, "This is the dying throes." ”
The detective on the other side shouted: "Friends, the two-hour time is almost up, hurry up, what clues are there, search." ”
"I don't think there's anything to search for anymore, it's clear." Jia Mengmei said, "It's two people, Madam, Chunxiang, one of them." ”
"No, it's you, madam, and one of Haruka." Said the detective.
"Not me, I swear."
"Then what do you mean by destruction? You've touched that pie too. ”
"I mean destroy those letters! And I don't know what Sisa or anything, I'm a straight man! Sisha can exclude all the men in this case. Jia Mengmei said.
"Not necessarily, your name doesn't look like a straight man."
"Poof!" Jia Mengmei took a mouthful of old blood, "Wronged!" ”
"Raise your hand! I found it! Wu Zhizhi shouted, "I found it, I found it!" Dead rats! ”
"What dead rats?" The crowd gathered around them.
Wu Zhigui was next to a shrub: "It's under this tree, I was just thinking, there is something buried under that mound, then this tree is not real, will there be something underneath, and it turns out that there really is!" She jumped up and pointed at Madame, "Madame, you explain!" Why are there still dead rats here! ”
"These are the two batches of dead rats I'm talking about! I had no experience with rat poison for the first time, so I took one for an experiment! ”
"Huh? Oh. Wu Zhizhi pouted, "Okay." ”
"Alas!" The crowd sighed and dispersed.
"Oh no, hey!" Wu Zhizhi shouted again, "No, how is this mouse's mouth different from other mice?" Everything else is purple, this one is pink! ”
"Why, I'll see, I'll see." Mrs. Zhao immediately came over.
"Huh? You're nervous! You have a question! ”
Mrs. Zhao's face froze instantly: "Liar! There are no fans at all! ”
"Is there one? Is there any? The detective asked.
"Nope." Wu Zhizhi replied honestly, "But the others are indeed purple, only this one is not." ”
"Because the others eat a lot, I gave it a pill, and I said this is what I used for experiments!"
"But what is there to experiment with rat poison?"
"I'm a lady, I haven't used it!" Mrs. Zhao pinched her waist, quite proud of herself.
"Oh, okay comrades, it's time, we're assembled."
As soon as the words fell, the waiter pushed the door in: "When the time comes, please go back to the preparation room to discuss the results and vote." ”
"Ahh Prep room! Are you leaving? Wu Zhizhi was reluctant to give up, "I don't want it, I don't want it!" I think I can dig up some more useful clues! ”
"Let's go Haruka, don't die and struggle." Bao Xiaotu said.
"No, it's not me! It's really not me! ”
The waiter called them together: "Okay friends, let me tell you about our voting rules, including one vote per person, in addition to the fact that the detective has one vote in his hand is a collective vote, voted by a show of hands, and finally counted the votes, more than half of them are murderers." In addition, regardless of the final result, the real murderer and the murderer who escaped successfully can enter the second level for free, and the detective has two votes, and any one of the two votes can enter for free. ”
"Ahh That detective is too good. Wu Zhizhi sighed.
"But the pressure on detectives is also relatively high, because if the organization is not good, all the staff may be killed, and we have encountered a situation where the second round of evidence collection is used up before the end of the time."
"Oh, yes, so detectives need to be experienced."
"That's right!" Detective Daogu instantly raised her eyebrows, "It's really not easy for this Daogu, comrades!" ”
"Alright, if there is no doubt, let's start voting." The waiter said, "First of all, it's a personal vote, please write the name of the murderer you think on a sticky note on the character card, and then clip it back and give it to me, it's not negotiable." ”
"I've got it written." Wu Zhizhi glanced at He Sibai after writing, "Who are you writing about?" ”
He Sibai subconsciously wanted to answer, and then saw the waiter's gaze, then smiled and said, "I can't say it now." ”
"Is that me?"
"It's not."
"Humph! That's pretty much it. ”
"Oops," Mrs. Zhao pinched her throat and said, "Make Chunxiang weak~"
"Ahh Not me! Not me! ”
"Alright, everyone's done casting." The waiter said, "Now start voting collectively, and the detectives can discuss it again and vote for the murderer." ”
"Okay, okay," said the detective, "let's talk about it again, friends, who are you all voting for?" ”
"Me!" Wu Zhizhi pointed at Mrs. Zhao, "Vote for him!" ”
"I'll vote for you! Haruka has been targeting me! Mrs. Zhao was indignant.
"Who did you vote for?" Wu Zhizhi asked.
"I also voted for Zhao," He Sibai said, "I thought so, at first I thought Zhao, Jia and Chunxiang were more suspicious. ”
"You doubt me?" Wu Zhizhi snorted.
"Don't you suspect you're wrong? You're suspicious! Bao Xiaotu said.
"So you voted for me too?" Wu Zhizhi asked.
"Ah, yes."
"You've lost."
"I'm done, let me finish." "But then, Jia said he didn't know about Sisha, and I think that's reasonable, unless there's any more evidence that he knows that Liniang has Sisa Rouge." And then there's Haruka, I think there's a key here, that is, how long does it take for Sisa and rat poison to be mixed to die, I think this is debatable, because we haven't found any clues to clarify this, so I temporarily think that this doesn't exist, so this way we rule out Haruka. ”
"Why?"
"Because, if Sisha is mixed with rat poison and eats it, she will have an attack immediately, then she will not be able to leave the plum garden, or she will die when she and Jia say this, then Jia will immediately know that Haruka did it, because only the three of them know about their private meeting."
"Seems to make sense."
"In this way, only Mrs. Zhao is left, and Mrs. Zhao's problems are now mainly focused on Qiansha and the dead rat that Wu Zhizhi found later."
