Chapter 201: The Merger of the Red-Eyed Ghost and the Sea Breeze Vine Act 4: The Triple Chamber Solution, Interlude II
"When I opened the hidden space at the bottom of the wall, I thought that Gamble must be hiding inside, because there was really no other hiding place in these rooms, and I didn't have time to calm down and think about it until I rescued Swim Heart and waited for him to regain his mobility.

"That little cubicle in the wall can be determined to be above the top where the exit to the secret room on the second floor is located, because there is blood dripping from the cracks in the planks, as you have just seen, there is still dried blood on the roof. At that time, my analysis of Gamble's disappearance had the following points: first, I realized that with the speed of my actions at that time, no matter how fast the murderer was, it was impossible for the murderer to hide Gamble in the wall compartment, because after I heard the sound of someone crawling, I entered the hallway and found the way out of the way and the body under the wooden fence door, about two or three minutes, during which time I could hear Gamble's slight sound at the door of the bedroom room, assuming that after that, he was immediately attacked by the murderer, Judging by the sound of his last shouting to me, the killer did not knock him unconscious, and when he was kidnapped, Gamble was awake. ”
"What I can't figure out is why the murderer didn't stun Gamble at that time, didn't this make it more difficult for him? He could have taken my last companion without knowing it, but why did he want me to find out? Of course, this problem was solved after hearing Gamble's own narration. Second, I rushed to the bedroom door as soon as I heard the cries for help, and immediately turned around and entered the study after being blocked, hitting the table and rushing into the bedroom, all of which did not add up to a minute. ”
"So to sum up, if you count enough time, it only took about four or five minutes for the murderer to completely disappear from taking Gamble away, and in such a short period of time, unless the murderer directly took him out of the outdoors, it would be too late to hide anywhere."
"Moreover, the murderer didn't knock Gamble unconscious or fascination, he will definitely resist! But I didn't hear anything other than the cry for what seemed to be a cry for help. When I got back to the bedroom, there was no sign of a fight, not even a small object on the table that had toppled over, which was not normal at all. So at that time, I couldn't guess how the murderer did this. ”
"I'll let Gamble tell you about some of the episodes here, and I'll tell you what happened after I rescued Swimmer." Here, Luo Yifan also omitted the part where he hugged Liang Yongxin and waited for him to recover his mobility, because first, there was no need to waste time describing these things, and secondly, that kind of plot would also make Jiang Xinglong feel unhappy, so Luo Yifan jumped directly to the part where Liang Yongxin told him about the mechanism in the basement on the first floor.
"When we regained our mobility, we went back to the bedroom from the study, because we were both very worried about Gamble and thought it would be more reliable to find a mechanism in the bedroom. At that time, it was still not convenient for swimmer to move, because my body was tightened by ropes for a long time, and it was very painful after numbness in many places, and I had to think about various possibilities, so we could say that our movement was very slow. ”
"Oh, by the way, when Yongxin was recovering, he also told me your plan," Luo Yifan said to Jiang Xinglong: "He told me the purpose you hope to achieve the divorce with Jiang Xiaomei through Yuanmu Hibiscus, and why you invited so many people to the mountain, and asked me to promise not to tell anyone else, because Yongxin never wants you to take responsibility for anything, and, now that I think about it, Yongxin didn't tell me the truth completely, he took some responsibility on himself, hoping to bear some of these things for you, these things, I won't go into detail here either, but when the incident is over, you can explain it to the police yourself! ”
Jiang Xinglong didn't answer, just nodded.
Luo Yifan continued: "In the bedroom, Yongxin first told me how to open the entrance to the basement with the vase in the bedroom, which I have explained to you before, so there is no need to say more here. I'm going to finish the process as soon as possible, so that you can understand how the whole Triple Chamber came to be. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Yifan's words were interrupted by Xie Yunmeng, although it was not revealed on the surface, but it was obvious that Xie Yunmeng's tone was impatient: "What does the process of action have to do with the structure of the triple secret room, you directly tell us how you and Liang Yongxin were locked up there for a short time, isn't there just three entrances and exits in the triple secret room, but they are all closed by the murderer?" If you tell me about the situation at that time, you can save a lot of effort! ”
"That's not the case, Mong." Yun Yeyao explained for Luo Yifan: "The triple secret room that Roy mentioned is a logical triple secret room formed in the course of his actions for the impossible event, and it is not as simple as you say. You don't interject and let Roy finish. ”
However, Xie Yunmeng still felt a little incomprehensible, for the sake of Yun Yeyao's face, he no longer spoke, just frowned and looked at Luo Yifan, wanting to hear what kind of triple secret room he could tell.
Luo Yifan leaned his head on the back of the sofa, closed his eyes tiredly, his mind recalled the scene of the conversation with Liang Yongxin at that time, and their feelings when they mentioned their sister, while recalling and continuing: "In addition to some inconsequential little things that happened here, it must be said that I didn't know that the entrance to the basement was in the storage room at that time, I thought that after Yongxin moved the vase, he would definitely open a certain gap in the bedroom floor, so, The disappearance of Gamble is easy to explain. At this time, the rooms on both sides of the corridor on the first floor were not completely enclosed. ”
"In addition to the stairwell door that was sealed before, the door on the outside of the bedroom and the door connecting the corridor to the living room are closed, and I put obstacles on the door of the study and the inside of the study, and I thought that these two doors must be foolproof, so I didn't pay attention to them, but focused all my attention on the action of the heart start switch."
"After the basement entrance opened, Swim Heart immediately ran in the direction of the study, of course I was puzzled, and grabbed him, but after thinking about it, the entrance was on the floor of the study It was also possible for the murderer to take Gamble, so I returned to the study with Swim Heart without asking, but at this time, Swim Heart's actions shocked me, because he had to run out of the study to the corridor, so I had to stop him again."
"I asked Swim in shock, only to find out that the entrance was in a small storage room, and if it hadn't been for everything Gamble had told me afterwards, it would have been a triple secret room in a spatial structure."
"Roy, then please assume that Gamble was not rescued by Bian Benyi and them, and let's listen to your judgment at that time, that is, why do you think that the first triple secret room in the spatial structure will be formed here between the disappearance of Gamble and the direction of the basement entrance." Yun Yeyao said that he was very interested in it.
"Okay, then let's assume that Gamble was indeed taken away by the murderer, you already know that it took me about four or five minutes from entering the corridor to check until turning around to rescue Gamble entering the bedroom, and we will use the elimination method to illustrate my judgment at that time: there are solid security nets outside the windows and balconies in the bedroom, and it is impossible for the murderer to use those two places. The entrance to the basement is neither in the bedroom nor in the study, and it is impossible for the murderer to bring a large man into the wall back to the second floor in a short time, and it only took me about a minute to go back when I heard Gamble's cry for help, what can the murderer do in this minute? And Gamble's voice was clearly coming from the bedroom at the time. ”
"It's impossible if he takes someone from behind me and enters the storage room, not to mention that the storage room at that time can't hide two people, and even if he can hide, it can't be without any movement, after all, there are too many things in it, and Gamble can't not struggle at all, and the bedroom door was also suddenly closed at that time, and the murderer closed the door to prove that he didn't want to use it to escape, but wanted to use the door to block my steps."
In this way, the bedroom door, the still open storage door, and the stairwell door that has long been closed can be excluded, and then we look at the two doors of the study, the door on the inside of the study room with the secret passage in the wall can be counted as two entrances and exits, and they cannot be the object of the murderer's actions, which can be ruled out. If you can't get out of the door on the inside of the study, you won't be able to use the door on the outside of the study, so this entrance and exit is also excluded. All that's left is the closed door at the bottom of the hallway, which is completely impossible, as it was sealed when I entered the hallway to check on X's body. As for the bathroom door, there is no mechanism in it at all, so this door does not need to be counted at all. ”
Yun Yeyao heard that he had roughly understood this, and he continued: "You mean that in this way, Gamble's kidnapping is a completely impossible event, he disappeared out of thin air in the bedroom, and the definition of the so-called triple secret room here is judged according to the degree of space closure: you completely exclude the bathroom door and the stairwell door, first, enter the study from the bedroom and then enter the corridor and leave from the living room, here passes through three consecutive doors, the door on both sides of the study and the door outside the corridor, These doors must be walked out of one before passing through the other, rather than being selected at the same time, so this road is a triple closed road for the murderer. ”
"Although there is also a secret passage in the wall, this secret passage can be selected at the same time as the door on the inside of the study, so it can only be counted as the same closed door. Second, enter the corridor from the bedroom door, and then choose the door of the storage room or the door connected to the corridor and the living room to leave, here, the door of the storage room and the door of the corridor are in the same space, which can be selected at the same time, so this can only be regarded as a double closed road. Coupled with the fact that you had been moving back and forth in these spaces at the time, it was impossible for the murderer to avoid your gaze, so you made a compromise and combined Gamble's disappearance into a triple dimensional secret room that was impossible to get out of, right? ”
After listening to Yun Yeyao, Luo Yifan, who had his eyes closed, nodded to indicate that it was completely correct. Yun Yeyao paused for a moment and continued: "However, now we can ignore this triple space secret room, because the exit is neither on the bedroom floor, nor on the periphery or inside of any door except the bedroom, but precisely the bedroom window and balcony that you excluded at that time, those two places and the other half of the storage room that are invisible are the entrances and exits of the real secret room, so now we can explain how Gamble left and the mystery of the bedroom window!" ”
