Chapter 217: Puzzles and Hints

Stepping over the man who had fainted on the ground, Chen Zhen walked into the box, closed the door, and looked at the calendar hanging behind the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the calendar, there is a small black dot in the lower left corner of the small grid that says "one", and if you don't pay attention to it, you can't see it at all, and people who don't know it won't care if they see it.

Chen Zhen searched carefully for a while, there were no black dots in the grid of other dates, only the number one in the grid, but it was different from the mark in the 211 box, that dot was in the lower right corner of the grid, and this dot was in the lower left corner.

The first position is the stage, the stage is the place where all the audience pays attention, it is indeed relatively safe, but there is no place to hide, which stands in this box, you can also see most of the space of the stage, only the entrances and exits of the actors on both sides and the truss above, if it is in those two places, it is too easy to be found, and there is no need to solve the puzzle.

It certainly won't be a stage, the dots in the lower left and right corners of the grid are different and meaningful, but they are impossible to unravel without any hints.

Sister Cong will not come up with such a difficult puzzle to the people of the troupe, if she can't even understand her own people, only she knows, there is no need to come up with a puzzle, since there is a puzzle, or a puzzle that can't get the answer just by looking at the question, there must be a matching purification, and the hint may be very short and easy to grasp.

It's like a key.

Why didn't Ge Xin say it? Was it deliberately concealed or was it not known?

If it is the former, it means that he is a traitor to the troupe; If it is the latter, it means that Sister Cong suspects that he is a traitor to the troupe - no matter what kind of key he is, he must be handed over to someone he trusts.

Out of the room, Chen Zhen went to box 307 and knocked on the door, and said the same two words: "Check the ticket." ”

The ticket is something that identifies friend and foe, and the internal members of the troupe don't need a ticket at all, just take out their documents and shake it, and honestly take out the ticket, even if they are not enemies, it doesn't matter if they are stunned.

Dragging the two people who were knocked unconscious, Chen Zhen went down to the second floor again, and when he saw that the door of box 211 was hidden and not closed, he let go of the people who were dragging him, a red light appeared in his eyes, and gently pushed the door open.

If Mr. You had already found the rope, then there should have been a corpse and three living people in the room; If it is not found, there should be a corpse and two living people, and in any case, the door should be closed, Mr. You pays attention to details, otherwise it is impossible to pinch out the mask of Weixiao, and it is impossible to be careless enough to forget to close the door.

There were three corpses in total, the middle-aged man and the young woman were dead, and the corpses behind the door had not changed much, except that their feet had retracted slightly after being hit by the door, and this would only happen when the door was pushed open, and Mr. You had no reason to do so.

The middle-aged man and the woman were both stabbed to death by the iron ruler, lying in the same position as when Chen Zhen left, the wound was on the throat, one for each person, the width was almost the same, the tip of the iron ruler was from narrow to wide, proving that the attempt to pierce in was almost the same, and the skin around the wound was not cut, proving that Mr. You did not stab the throats of the two during the fight, at least he was not disturbed when he stabbed them, and the stabbing was clean and neat, which also proved that she did not hesitate at all.

Next to the corpse were two thick ropes, twisted and lying on the ground, with metal hooks at both ends, the kind of separation belt at the top of the staircase, with hemp rope on the inside and a dark red velvet sleeve on the outside.

Mr. You should have run downstairs and asked the person guarding the stairs for a separation rope to tie people, but before he could start tying up, and before he could even drag the two unconscious people together, he was interrupted by someone pushing the door open, and it must have been the enemy, she immediately stabbed the two to death, so as not to come back to lick the mess after the two were rescued, in other words, Chen Zhen would do the same, and it was impossible to do it better than her.

(Why did you accidentally write it as a reasoning...... The next protagonist detective reservation? )

The blood stains on the ground all flowed from the throats of the two and the right eye of the middle-aged man, and they couldn't be seen nearby, and there was no trace of a fight, Mr. You didn't fight the enemy, and he didn't have time to leave clues for Chen Zhen, and he should have encountered an enemy that he couldn't defeat, and he didn't even try, it was likely to be Zheng Sandao, or it could be a plurality of enemies with long-range weapons.

If she was crouching next to the corpse when the enemy pushed the door, how did she get out?

Chen Zhen walked to the window and glanced down, the audience on the first floor was very calm, occasionally burst into laughter because of the razor's stupidity, no one looked up, and then looked up, the wall could not find traces of climbing, and then looked at the boxes on the left and right sides, you can see a lot of people's faces, people on the second and third floors can see the situation here, and there are children who are not interested in drama, bored lying by the window and looking at the audience below, seeing Chen Zhen just made a grimace, if someone goes out from the window, walks outside and climbs up to the third floor, is seen by children, when they saw Chen Zhen appear in this window again, they would not have such a look.

Mr. You left through the door, either by finding a way to leave, or by being arrested.

Chen Zhen tied up the two people who brought him down with a short rope, turned around and went out, and went down to the first floor.

The person guarding the stairs was gone, and if this person followed Mr. You upstairs, it meant that the middle-aged man and the young woman had lied and died unjustly, and the foyer had nothing to do with the ten places on the list, and the number of enemies was more than thirteen.

"May I ask where the staircase keepers have gone?" Chen Zhen walked to the counter and asked the waiter who sold snacks.

The waiter tilted his body to look at it, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the stairs, and said, "Oh, Lao Wang is there." ”

She pointed to an old man, with gray hair, a flat shaved head, and a badge pinned to his chest, looking at Chen Zhen curiously, he just went upstairs and didn't care about going downstairs, Chen Zhen went downstairs quickly, and he directly crossed the isolation belt before he untied the rope, and he didn't care.

Chen Zhen walked over, flashed his notice card, and asked Lao Wang, "When did you come?" ”

"Eight o'clock." Lao Wang said with a smile.

Chen Zhen frowned and said, "You weren't there when I came. ”

"Went to the bathroom." Lao Wang pointed to the corner where the bathroom was located.

Chen Zhen nodded, and asked again: "...... just now?"

Lao Wang interrupted him and replied: "I didn't ask someone to do it for me just now, the woman has already asked, and she will check the room once during the intermission, and if someone gets in, she can find out, that's all." ”

"Looking for the woman you want to be on a leash?" Chen Zhen guessed that the person who was standing next to the isolation zone before was probably the one who lived in the door of the tool room, and knew that he couldn't outrun them, so he pretended to be standing here to check the ticket, and his adaptability was good, and his acting was very similar.

The tickets taken by those people in the box should be for ward rounds.

"Well, you want a rope too?" Lao Wang turned around and went to get the rope again.

"No, where did she go? How many people went up and down the stairs after the woman took the rope? Chen Zhen realized that Sister Cong's enemy was not simple, probably because of the lack of force, Zheng Sandao was invited, or maybe he was not invited, the middle-aged man and the young woman were lying.

"No, I don't know, she hasn't come down since she took the rope." Lao Wang asked curiously, "What happened?" ”

"Nothing." Chen Zhen glanced back at the waiter, she could recognize Lao Wang, which proved that Lao Wang was indeed a staff member of the troupe, unless both of them were fakes, this possibility was very low.

He asked Lao Wang again, "Is there any other staircase besides here?" ”

"No, that's it." Lao Wanghe's answer was the same as Ge Xin's statement, to get to the second and third floors, there was only the staircase of the foyer.

"Thank you." Chen Zhen walked to the second floor again, went up a few times, and with the mentality of giving it a try, he turned his head and asked Lao Wang, "Sister Cong usually told you what the hint of the puzzle is?" ”

Lao Wang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't said it." ”

Hearing this answer, Chen Zhen walked down again, stood beside Lao Wang, and said in a low voice: "The correct answer is 'what puzzle', you haven't said it in your answer, prove that you know the existence of the puzzle, tell me the hint, I am Chen Zhen." ”

When the old man heard the last sentence, he looked at Chen Zhen in surprise, and was shocked when he saw two bright red lights, and at the same time a happy smile appeared on his face.

"The staircase in the background." He replied.

"The stairs in the background?" Chen Zhen repeated, no matter how he heard this sentence, it had nothing to do with the puzzle on the calendar, and he thought that he had heard it wrong.

Lao Wang nodded and said, "Just these five words." ”

Chen Zhen thanked him again and continued to walk upstairs.

He now has three choices, one is to go upstairs to find Mr. You; the second is to look at the stairs in the background; The third is to find Ge Xin, he is the leader of the security personnel, the position is very important, if he is a traitor, he will definitely know the specific arrangement of the other party.

It's close, so let's go to the second floor first.

At the end of the corridor on both sides is a dead end, there is no place to go out, the first floor is still quiet, the people behind the windows on the second floor are still watching the play, and the children are still on the windowsill looking at the people below, as if they are about to spit.

Room 211, three bodies, two people who were still unconscious, nothing else.

There are two more possibilities for Mr. You to kill people and leave, one is that he may have met the person who checked the ticket before and chased him, so he didn't have time to tie people up; The second is that she met Sister Cong, and Sister Cong thought that those two people were useless, so Mr. You simply killed them and left with Sister Cong.

Where can I leave? Chen Zhen checked the room again and raised his head.

He saw the vents in the corners of the ceiling.

Vents are meaningful, you have to open the window when you watch a play, otherwise you won't be able to hear the lines, but you don't want to close the window when you watch a play so that it won't be affected or affect others, and vents are also a common denominator in all rooms.

Chen Zhen lifted the coffee table next to the sofa, came to the corner, stepped on it and looked inside.
