Chapter 16: Greetings to the Duke
The time came to eight o'clock in the evening again, and it came to the popular reasoning session, but this time, Tang Yuzhe entered the banquet hall with an expression of ambition.
"I have come to a conclusion, both in terms of modus operandi and perpetrators. ”
Tang Yuzhe said proudly.
"I don't know if you have read Keigo Higashino's book, one of which is a detective novel called "Detective Galileo" mentions a technique in which sodium is wrapped in sodium carbonate and placed under a swimming ring, and when the outer layer of sodium carbonate is dissolved, the sodium inside will be exposed and react with water to produce a large amount of hydrogen. Hydrogen mixed with oxygen is highly susceptible to combustion and explosion. Sodium swims on the surface of the water to produce combustible gas, so there is a spectacle of fire on the water surface and spreading everywhere, and because the amount of sodium hydroxide is very small for the whole pool water, and the pool water itself is also weakly alkaline, it is basically impossible to detect. I didn't expect Mr. Lu Renjia to be a book lover, and I didn't expect you to attack your own people. ”
After saying that, Tang Yuzhe turned his head and looked at Lu Renjia.
"Miss Tang is worthy of being a police detective, and her guess is so accurate, but one thing you said wrong, I didn't attack my own people, or rather, we did it to everyone, including ourselves. ”
Lu Renjia didn't argue, and directly admitted, he took a sip of tea and said:
"With all due respect, this game has not been exciting at all, but please forgive me for not being talented enough to put together a wonderful show in two days, and my apprentices don't have a means to keep themselves safe, so I decided to prepare various surprises in advance and make them separately, and then randomly assign them to be placed in uncertain places by uncertain people. In other words, even we don't know where the danger is and who is doing it, and there are dangerous traps everywhere, so this kind of killing game is fun, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Gu Yi and Xu Zekai both gasped, and the image of Lu Renjia's madman was also ingrained in the hearts of the two. Although Tang Yuzhe was a police detective who had seen strong winds and waves, his face was a little pale after hearing these words.
"Alright, Miss Detective, see if you can guess the murderer with a one-in-four chance, or rather, survive the remaining three surprises tomorrow. ”
"You're a madman. ”
"Thanks for the compliment, ma'am. ”
After being speechless for a while, it was Lu Renjia who broke the silence: "If you don't have anything to say, just quickly identify it, and then disperse, I still have to design a more exquisite performance." Then let me come first, and I'll vote for Ms. Tang. ”
There's no way, random killing is like this, counting a dead person, it's one of the four choices of happiness, I have to say, this hand is a good game.
"I abstained from voting. "It was the monk who abstained from the vote again.
With the monk's follow-up, Gu Yi and Xu Zekai voted for Lu Renjia one after another, and the "killer" foursome, no, it should be called a threesome now The other two also unified their opinions after tossing a coin and voted for Tang Yuzhe, and Tang Yuzhe was powerless to return to the sky, and voted for Lu Renjia with his backhand.
The voting was completed, but there was a tie on the field, and everyone saw that it was impossible for the monk to vote, so under the presence of Lu Renjia, both sides took a step back and tossed the coin, and the result was that the only woman left in the trio team was chosen.
At present, Li Hua (the woman) received the most votes...... Misidentification ...... The killer has made a choice, no one leaves, and the game continues. After hearing the result, Tang Yuzhe spread his hands helplessly, saying that the probability of a quarter was too small, and then left the scene gloomily, and then everyone also went back to the room one after another, washed and slept, and tonight will also be the last one to sleep peacefully, because tomorrow you have to guard against the trap of "everywhere".
The last one is the monk who has been meditating. At this time, the monk stopped the butler and said:
"Actually, we're playing games here, it's like a TV show, a 'show', somebody is watching it in front of the TV, and the Duke is the audience, right? ”
That's true, but it won't help you with your evaluation. ”
"In fact, if no one dies in a day, or we are all united and the show can't go on, then for the sake of the audience, there must be external forces to intervene to make the show go according to normal procedures, such as the random death of one of the survivors, right? ”
"Yes, but the old man still doesn't understand what you're trying to say. ”
"Last question, if I made a mistake in my previous reasoning, but after the game is over, of course, before the results are announced, I correct the reasoning, does that still count?"
"Of course it counts, but points will be deducted as appropriate, after all, you are all hindsight, and the results will say something. ”
When the monk had finished asking, the butler owed a debt and walked to the end of the corridor, and the old butler did not want to know what he wanted, as long as he did not violate the rules. When the butler's figure was about to disappear, the monk shouted: "Thank you for your answer, and besides, please say hello to the Duke on my behalf!"
When the monk finished asking, he already had a score of the whole incident in his heart, and then it was his turn to perform. On the way back to the monk, he saw the oncoming Tang Yuzhe, and the monk couldn't help asking:
"Amitabha, why hasn't the girl gone back to her room to rest?"
"Master, what did you ask, to come back so late?"
I saw that the monk showed a kind smile and said:
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will naturally understand when the time comes. ”
In the early morning of the next day, neither the monk nor the passer-by came to breakfast, and with the belief of safety, Tang Yuzhe still went to their room to ask, but found that the two old yin bi conspired in the same room to do some ulterior things. Tang Yuzhe raised his forehead, any of them was enough for her to drink a pot, and now these two are still conspiring together, I'm afraid the next days will be difficult. Thinking of this, Tang Yuzhe felt that he couldn't go on alone, it was too dangerous, mainly. The passers-by in Team A are all crazy believers, and there is no value for cooperation, so Tang Yuzhe walked to Xu Zekai's room, ready to negotiate cooperation with Xu Zekai and Gu Yi.
"Knock Knock"
When the door opened, Xu Zekai saw that the visitor was Tang Yuzhe, and suddenly showed a puzzled expression. After Tang Yuzhe explained the intention of cooperation, Xu Zekai yawned and said:
"You go to that monk, I'm lazy. ”
"That monk and passerby A don't know what they're plotting, so they haven't come out of the room, and they can't find him, so I'll ask you what you think first. ”
"Ah, that's it, what about Gu Yi? ”
"I'm not familiar with it, why don't you call it together?"
"Why are you so troublesome, okay, let's go. ”
After speaking, Xu Zekai and Tang Yuzhe went to knock on Gu Yi's door.
After knocking several times, there was still no response in the room, and just as the two were about to break down the door, Gu Yi's voice finally came from the room:
"Who?"
"I, Xu Zekai. ”
"Oh, I'm so sleepy now, what's the matter tomorrow, I'll go look for you when I get up. ”
Xu Zekai listened, spread his hands, and said that he could not do anything. Tang Yuzhe held his forehead again, and said to Xu Zekai:
"Okay, let's talk about it first, and then we'll talk about the details when Gu Yi and the monk come out. ”
After that, Xu Zekai and Tang Yuzhe entered Xu Zekai's room to discuss cooperation.
