Chapter 92: The Crazy Ripper (6)
The next morning, before seven o'clock, Watson had already gotten up, and while he was preparing breakfast, he looked through the various materials on the table. As for Wang Ziyang, he didn't wake up until eight o'clock, and Inspector Lestrade also knocked on the door of 221B at eight o'clock.
"What's the matter, my dear Mr. Inspector. ”
Wang Ziyang asked as he washed up in the mirror.
"It's not all the damned reporters who, in order to become famous, sent letters to various media outlets, claiming that Mary and Anne had killed them 'themselves', and that these threatening letters and teaser letters had been sent five at this time this morning! ”
Wang Ziyang wore the beard on his face and comforted:
"Isn't that the psychology of the people, they like to see this happen. Believe me, if it weren't for the fact that some of the editors thought most of the letters were nonsense, you might have received ten times more threatening letters than you do now. ”
Inspector Lestrade walked into the living room, dropped copies of the five letters in his hand on the desk, and sat down on Prince Young's sofa.
"By the way, Mr. Detective, didn't you say yesterday that you sent three more detectives over, and what are their teams like?"
"You said they, basically they are the inspectors of the surrounding districts, that is, one of the assistants is more famous, and they are the author of "Sherlock Holmes", Conan Doyle. Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective is like a god, but I just don't know what happened to him. ”
"Oh, Sherlock Holmes, what is that, is it pretty?" Prince Young asked, looking at Inspector Lestrade with the same expression as he had seen his favorite star.
"Of course, it's good, Holmes only needs a single look to deduce all your information, and he is quick and proficient in many aspects. ”
"This book sounds pretty good, bring me a copy when you have time." ”
"Okay...... Inspector Lestrade just finished speaking, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he didn't continue, and Watson on the side also leaned into Inspector Lestrade's ear and whispered to him:
"Don't you think Prince Jan looks like Sherlock Holmes?"
"It's true......"
Wang Ziyang sat on the sofa, picked up his coffee, looked at the two people in front of him staring at him, couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and asked:
"What's wrong with me, why don't you stare at me like that?"
"Nothing. When the two heard this, they immediately sat down separately.
"Detective, apart from the fact that five letters have been sent, there have been no more cases?" Wang Ziyang asked with some confusion.
"No, what's wrong? If the murderer does it once a day, it would be crazy. ”
"It's okay, I'll just ask. ”
As he spoke, Wang Ziyang picked up the five threatening letters on the table. Wang Ziyang looked at the letter and thought at the same time, "The game will not proceed logically like reality, but will pursue the compactness of the plot, so that the events and events are directly and seamlessly connected, so nothing should happen today, so among these five letters, there will definitely be letters from the murderer himself." ”
While thinking, Wang Ziyang opened his mouth and analyzed:
Judging from the handwriting, these five letters should have been written by four men and one woman, and we will eliminate the women's letters first and throw them in the trash. ”
Before Wang Ziyang could finish speaking, Inspector Lestrade asked:
"How do you know it's four men and one woman?"
Wang Ziyan just pulled out one of the letters, threw it to Inspector Lestrade, who was sitting opposite, and said:
"The letter is handwritten and lightly inked, and the font is very small. Judging from the smoothness of the water and the overall ink effect, the author should be middle-class and above, and he used a good fountain pen. We know that the pens used by the upper class are generally the kind of thick-tipped fountain pens, which are thick and heavy, and the font is generally thicker, and only pens specially made for women will write such fonts. Moreover, those who have such a good hand should be more educated or newspaper editors, but the average aristocratic lady will not be idle to do this kind of thing, so it should be the female editor-in-chief of well-known newspapers and magazines. ”
Then, Wang Ziyang looked at the other four in his hand, but the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled.
Suddenly, Wang Ziyang stood up with the four letters in his hand, paced back and forth anxiously in the room, and kept muttering: "No, it shouldn't be, why are the handwriting of these letters so sloppy, and the font is not right......"
"What's wrong?" asked Lestrade and Watson, looking at the somewhat anxious Prince Young.
After reading the letter in Wang Ziyang's hand repeatedly, he was still impatient, until his eyes suddenly went dark......
At this moment, everything around him froze, and a window suddenly appeared in front of Wang Ziyang.
"You have been playing for six hours in reality, and you are about to be forced offline, and you can still continue from this moment when you log in next time, thank you for your cooperation. ”
Not long after Wang Ziyang finished reading the content on the pop-up window, the things around Wang Ziyang changed suddenly, and he only felt that he had broken out of a "cocoon", and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the studio of the live broadcast.
Just came out of the "cocoon", Wang Ziyang didn't pay attention to the staff, but walked straight to the demon puppet and asked:
"Are there any bugs in your game so far?"
Looking at Wang Ziyang, who was so excited, a very calm voice just came out of the magic puppet, saying:
"There are no bugs at the moment, every detail is carefully designed, and it is more or less helpful to solve the case, but it may be that you haven't guessed what they really are pointing to. ”
Hearing this, Wang Ziyang gradually calmed down, and didn't care what the people around him were saying, just recalling the details of the past few days in the game.
"The game has been going very smoothly, until I got the letter today, and after analyzing it, I felt that there were some deviations from the previous reasoning, so, is there no problem with the flow and thinking of the previous two days, but there are still some clues that I haven't noticed today?
Generally, every day of such a reasoning game is very important, and the deceased is found every day in the first two days, and the importance is naturally self-evident, but today there are only five threatening letters sent by the suspected murderer, if it is just like this, then today's process can be completely integrated with the murderer's crime in one day, and the murderer is committing the crime while sending a threatening letter, which can cause greater pressure on public opinion. In this way, there must be something else that I didn't notice today. ”
While thinking, Wang Ziyang found a quiet place to sit down, and the fat businessman did not disturb Wang Ziyang with interest, but turned the camera around and quietly shot at the pensive Wang Ziyang.
"What's missing?"
Wang Ziyang muttered as he recalled what had happened at this point in the "this morning".
"Inspector Lestrade is supposed to be the driving force behind the plot, so the details I've missed should have come from the moment Inspector Lestrade knocked on the door.
Inspector Lestrade only handed me these five letters, and when I inquired, no new bodies were found. When he came, it was eight o'clock in the morning, and it stands to reason that if no body was found at this time, it means that the murderer did not commit the crime between last night and this morning. In other words, the focus is only on these five letters.
Where the hell did I skip it......
Try to push back the time, last night, Inspector Lestrade left because he was going to pick up the three detectives, so these three people also have a clue relationship with the case. But this morning Inspector Lestrade only highlighted Conan Doyle as a writer......"
"I understand!" Wang Ziyang said suddenly.
"Before the game even started, I had a cursory reading of the lives of the characters I played and the relationships with each of them, so I can say that the 'me' is Sherlock Holmes now, so the focus may be hidden in the part of Holmes that I haven't had time to look at in detail, so that 'today' may be just as important as the previous days. ”
As he spoke, Wang Ziyang stood up and was about to return to the game, so frightened that the fat merchant and the people around him hurriedly pulled him back.
The merchant squeezed down in front of Wang Ziyang and said:
"My lord, you've been playing for nearly six hours in a row, it's time to rest for a while, why don't you eat first, relax and continue, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it." ”
When the prince heard this, he thought for a while and said:
"Okay, then we'll start the show on time in two hours. ”
When Wang Ziyang left the scene, he was still looking at the game equipment that was being inspected not far away, and muttered in a low voice:
"It's a pretty good game. ”
With that, he left the scene.
Although the protagonist left the studio, the backstage was still playing the highlights of Wang Ziyang's investigation in a loop, and supporting all viewers to freely view every corner, resulting in the broadcast not long after, the number of online viewers reached more than 50 million, and even millions of people placed orders on the spot to book game equipment, and the fat businessman who watched it couldn't stop laughing.
Chen Long's plan is going well, as the next president, Prince Yang has already taken the bait, and others have begun to infiltrate the work.
Although at first the people around him regarded him as a fool, and some bullies were ready to bully him, but after being beaten by him, they all became "faithful followers of Buddhism" and began to preach Buddhism to the outside world.
Xu Zekai passed the local military inspection, and even showed extraordinary command talent when doing sand table deduction, and was transferred to the military academy to continue training.
He Chenglin is the king of the mountain, relying on force to become the boss of a small bandit den, ready to expand outward.
As for Lu Lingfeng and Lu Lingyu, they were infiltrated into the largest resistance organization in the Yanyang Republic and started from the grassroots level. It's just that the two of them also met an old acquaintance - Wu Yuntao. Wu Yuntao has relied on his ability to become a middle-level cadre in a killer organization, and there are a few compatriots in this organization who are not familiar with it now, but they are also from the "earth", and some of them also have many grievances and hatreds with Chen Long and others in the future, which we will show later.
As time passed, Wang Ziyang returned to the studio again, returned to the game with the help of the puppet, and clicked the button to continue the game......
