Chapter Twenty-Nine: Identification!
Seeing Xiao Mo get up, Li Shuai willingly removed the cabinet on the top of the door and opened the locks on the door. Xiao Mo nodded at him, and then walked out without saying a word.
Mu Xue was stunned at first, but after a moment of hesitation, she still followed Xiao Mo and the others out of room 603.
Standing at the end of the stairs, the three of them looked down in unison, and none of them spoke, just listened quietly with a low breath. The electric light in their hands flashed "sneering", sometimes dark and sometimes extinguished, showing the darkness of the corridor to be extremely terrifying.
From the time they returned to Room 603, at the time of their departure, approximately 30 minutes had passed. The hidden ghost could do anything with this time span. Maybe there are only a few people left alive in these five units, and maybe there are a few "caught fish" below.
Xiao Mo's gaze was firmly fixed on the darkness below, as if his gaze could see something through the barrier of this darkness. His mood was also extraordinarily calm, his brain was abnormally lucid, and Liu Zihe's death was completely suppressed in his heart.
There is only one chance to identify, and if you are wrong, you will die, which has to be said to be a big gamble, an experience in the state of mind and decision.
Who are the remaining residents? Is the identity of the pretender Zhang Xuejian? Or Wang Chang Li? Or Mo Xiao, Li Xingxing, and Zhao Li, who don't seem to be suspicious.
He had heard the footsteps of the impostor, and he was probably wearing a pair of leather shoes on his feet, because the sound of the soles of the shoes hitting the ground was very special, much like the leather shoes worn by men.
Zhao Li herself is not a slender woman, and now she is three or four months pregnant, and her figure is even more fat. Li Xingxing is a thin girl with a standard bony beauty. As for Mo Xiao's body size, he is about the same as Xiao Mo, and he is not as good as Xiao Mo in height, so he can't be associated with a fat man at all.
Wang Changli and Zhang Xuejian are both fat people with fat figures, if the two of them are wearing the same clothes and lying on the ground with their backs, it is absolutely rare for anyone to recognize who they are.
Based on these, Xiao Mo adopted a contrasting method. First of all, the three men with the greatest suspicions were selected, and they were listed in order of suspicion, Zhang Xuejian, Mo Xiao, and Wang Changli.
Needless to say, Zhang Xuejian's suspicion is the greatest, many of the previous details can be seen, and Mo Xiao's suspicion is only because he is a man, as for why Wang Changli is not ranked second, it is because Wang Changli is staying with Zhao Li, and the possibility of being dropped by ghosts is slightly lower.
If you look at the woman's side again, if you arrange it according to the degree of suspicion, Li Xingxing, Mu Xue is in front, and Zhao Li is in Zuihou. There is also a reason why Zhao Li is placed in Zuihou, because the shoes worn by ghosts may be leather shoes or high heels. Zhao Li is pregnant, so she is the least likely to wear high heels, and she is still with Wang Changli, which also reduces the possibility of her being dropped.
Through this comparison, Xiao Mo ruled out the suspicion of Zhang Xuejian, Mu Xue and others, and aimed his suspicious eyes at Zhao Li and Wang Changli. There is no other reason than because they are the least suspicious.
Starting from Ji Jie, Zhang Qingye, Jing Zhexuan, Bi Xiao and others, all the residents who were more suspicious were killed without exception. If you explain it directly, it means that the rest of Zuihou are people who are less suspicious or not suspicious. And the pretender who mingled with the inhabitants was among them.
This raises the question worth pondering, what is the impostor doing for what?
The answer is not difficult to imagine, in order to hide the identity it is disguised into, so as to evade their identification and complete the final killing.
But what is the best way to keep your disguised identity from being revealed?
The answer is very simple, and that is to make yourself almost suspicious. In this way, not only can you hide yourself, but you can also frame others in reverse, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Xiao Mo has also been trapped in this kind of thinking, since the beginning of the incident, their suspicious eyes have always been on the suspicious residents, as for those who are not suspicious, they have paid less attention to them. So, if the ghost is making such a calculation, then it is undoubtedly successful.
After Xiao Mo regained his composure, he realized this, which also reminded him of a classic sentence that appears most often in suspense novels.
The murderer is always the one you ignore, the one who looks the least suspicious, the least like the murderer.
This is Xiao Mo's so-called big gamble, betting that the pretender is not Zhang Xuejian, who is the most suspicious, but Wang Changli and Zhao Li, who are the least suspicious!
Mu Xue stood beside Li Shuai, cold sweat was constantly oozing out of her palms, although she didn't know what Xiao Mo and the others were going to do, she could feel that her life was in the hands of those two.
Li Shuai was also a little nervous, he raised his hand and touched his nose, and chuckled at Xiao Mo and said:
"Don't be burdened, even if you choose the wrong one, it's okay, the three of us can fight the landlord when we go below."
Xiao Mo glanced back at Li Shuai, nodded but didn't say anything.
The corpse that existed in the corridor on the sixth floor, I don't know when it was gone, I think it was thrown down by ghosts. This also proves once again that the ghost's actions are consistent with Mu Xue's premonition.
On the first floor, a bloated black shadow stood quietly on it, it turned its head stiffly, and looked at the door of the corridor full of corpses on the side, where Zhang Xuejian's corpse was particularly eye-catching. A head that was only connected by a tendon, hanging weakly on his chest, I don't know if it was blown by the wind, or if it was not completely dead, his head was still trembling.
Not far from Zhang Xuejian's corpse, there was a corpse sitting on a pile, this corpse stared in disbelief, and the expression on his face seemed to be yelling at someone:
"It's absolutely impossible, it can't be her!"
"Step-!"
Finally, it let out a crisp stamping sound and made its way upstairs. At the same time, the electric light in the hands of Xiao Mo and the three of them also completely dimmed, and in the air, the smell of death suddenly became stronger.
Xiao Mo's fists also clenched subconsciously, his heart was tightly lifted, and he gasped in pain, almost unable to breathe.
"Step! Trample! ”
Every time the footsteps sounded, Xiao Mo would feel a pain in his eardrums, and at this time, he could clearly feel that it was only a few steps away from him, and it was opposite to him up and down.
"Woo-!"
A biting cold wind came to his face, the goosebumps on Xiao Mo's body were emerging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the moment of life and death, Xiao Mo finally mustered up the courage to roar:
"You're the pretender...... Zhao Li!! ”
