Chapter Seventy-Two: No More Than Three!
"Do you suspect that Zhao Rui committed suicide?" Diana asked Su Bai. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Bai pressed his hand, signaled to answer Diana's words later, and continued to ask the old butler with a kind of luck mentality:
"Old butler, has anyone else asked you this question?"
The old housekeeper smiled and said nothing, the meaning is very simple, this question is impossible to answer you Su Bai.
Fortunately, Su Bai didn't have much hope that this question would be answered, he sat down on the sofa, and then handed the medicine bottle given by the old housekeeper to Diana just now, and asked Diana to help him take medicine.
Diana was not restrained, she directly poured out the ointment and began to apply it to the wound on Su Bai's body, and at the same time said: "What do you mean, is today's investigation, and whether Zhao Rui committed suicide is used as the basis for the investigation?"
Su Bai can understand Diana's worries, because once this is used as the basis for investigation, it should be difficult to find out if the real culprit is someone else, which can easily lead to everyone going blind to the dark.
"The explosion, is it by the location of the kitchen?" Su Bai looked at the marks on the ground and the blackened walls of the kitchen.
"The gas canister exploded in the kitchen. Diana said.
"At the same moment as the explosion, a zombie broke into my room and attacked me, and that zombie was Simon.
I don't believe it's just a coincidence, in my opinion, the explosion in the kitchen should be a cover for the attack on my bedroom, of course, if Zhao Rui wants to commit suicide, it may be that she is making double insurance for herself. ”
Chen Ming said at this time: "Double insurance?, then, according to your logic, if you are killed by zombies, then she Zhao Rui has been burned, as two people who were attacked at the same time, she will definitely be excluded from our suspicions, and if the zombies don't kill you, after all, cough cough, we can guess some of your identity."
If the zombie fails to kill you, then she Zhao Rui can commit suicide, killing herself in a way we can't think of, but it is still very likely to be the biggest beneficiary, which can be regarded as taking advantage of our blind spots. ”
Su Bai's gaze swept over the faces of the rest of the people, and affirmed: "Let's investigate and collect evidence based on Zhao Rui's suicide, such as what she has been busy with recently, such as what traces she has in her room, such as what she has taken recently, what can be recalled, what can be investigated, don't let it go."
I suspect that Zhao Rui may be similar to the strengthening of Taoist priests, what are the habits and habits of Taoist priests, you analyze it yourself, we must find absolutely reliable evidence as soon as possible, if we really can't find evidence, we can only turn back halfway and put the object of suspicion between us living people. ”
First, because Su Bai had the first round of evidence to find out that Hills was the murderer, second, because everyone had guessed that Su Bai should be a high-level listener, and third, because Su Bai was being attacked by zombies when Zhao Rui died, everyone basically didn't think that Su Bai was the murderer of Zhao Rui, so when Su Bai said the main line of the investigation, the people present did not object to anything.
Lucy and Xu Gang went to the second floor to prepare to transfer Zhao Rui's room, while Chen Ming and Diana went to the swimming pool, because Zhao Rui had gone to the swimming pool several times during this time, and there might be something to be found there.
Montari and Su Bai first went to the place where Simon's body was placed before, and asked the old housekeeper where Simon was disposed of, but after not getting an answer from the old housekeeper, Su Bai and Montari walked outside the house again.
At this time, the rainstorm had just stopped a little, and it seemed to be brewing for the next pour, and it was muddy outside.
The chain bridge is still broken, and because of this, Zhao's Villa has basically become an isolated island, in addition to the villa, there is also a forest behind the villa, but the area of the forest is also very small, and there are cliffs all around.
"It's a peach tree. Su Bai looked at these trees, and said with some surprise, planting peach trees in this climate in this place has to pay a great price, of course, this is the story world of broadcast design, if it wants, it can grow ham on the tree.
"What are we doing here?" said Montari with some doubts, he knew that Su Bai might be a high-level listener, even if he didn't call him an adult, but there was still a little awe in his words.
"Look for it, if there is any new felling or which trees have wounds, there are not many things that can be found in this place that are conducive to the use of Taoist priests, but peach wood can be regarded as the same.
If Zhao Rui is really a Taoist type of reinforcement, she should take some raw materials here. ”
"Will Peachwood have anything to do with zombies?" Montari still couldn't understand, he was a Westerner, and the story world he usually experienced was also a story world with a strong Western cultural atmosphere, and he was not very familiar with some of the enhancements and professions unique to China.
"Peach wood has an extremely important position in China's folk culture and beliefs, and is also known as "dragon wood" and "ghost wood", which is the most widely used material for cutting evil spirits and making ghosts. Legend has it that Kuafu chased the sun, and before he died, he threw out the sacred tree and turned it into a peach forest. The earliest Spring Festival couplets in our country are made of peach wood boards, also known as peach charms, for thousands of years, peach wood has the saying of suppressing disasters and avoiding evil, and is called the sacred wood.
Forget it, it doesn't make sense to explain to you, when you live through this story world and grow up in the future, you should have the opportunity to meet the Taoist priests of the East. ”
Hearing Su Bai say this, Muntari couldn't help but feel a little at ease, although Su Bai didn't say exactly, but it seemed that this meant that the other party did not intend to kill him, in fact, the survival rate of this mission was still very high, and in the end, there should be 3 people alive, because in the environment of 3 people, if one more person dies, if the possibility of suicide is ruled out, then even if one party is a killer and votes for each other, it will not have any voting effect.
Therefore, according to Muntari's speculation, the old butler should end the game when there are 3 people left, and even, maybe earlier, now with the dead Zhao Rui, there are already three people dead, and there are 6 living people left, the fewer the living people, the narrower the scope of the murderer, and the worse the story, so Muntari thinks that at most one or two more people will die, and the game should be almost over.
The two searched for a while in the woods, and it wasn't long before Montari shouted, "Here, here!"
Su Bai walked over, and sure enough, several traces of being cut off were found on the two peach trees found by Montari.
Here, there are indeed people who are Taoist priests.
Su Bai reached out and touched these traces, and found that it had been a few days, and it was obvious that the Taoist priest had really been preparing for a few days after entering the story world.
"Let's go, go back. Su Bai and Muntari returned to the villa, and at this time, the other two groups also returned from the investigation, but they also found nothing.
Obviously, it seems that there is a lesson from Pique's past, and this time the murderer should be more hidden, at least the aftermath is done well.
Six people, each sitting on the sofa, exchanged their opinions with each other.
Su Bai frowned at this time, and said: "It is impossible not to have the slightest clue, absolutely impossible, we are not passers-by A passerby B, to put it mildly, we are wary of each other and always plan our own murder, so no matter whether Zhao Rui committed suicide or not, it is impossible for the six of us not to find out at all."
absolute
There was definitely one place that we overlooked!"
"Everyone, reminisce. Chen Ming said at this point, "Let's see if we have any details that have been overlooked." ”
"If she's going to set up a corpse and she needs to do some spells and rituals to turn a corpse into a zombie, I think she needs a spacious place. ”
Diana said as she suddenly raised her head and looked up,
"We seemed, never went to the roof. ”
The group immediately got up and went to the second floor, where there was a ladder and an open opening in the innermost part of the second floor, which led to the roof.
Everyone had just focused on the places where normal people could stay, such as the room, such as the swimming pool, but they really didn't think of the place on the roof.
Su Bai was the first to go up, followed by Montari, Lucy and others, and when everyone came to the roof, there was actually a rune paper and several peachwood swords in front of him, and at the same time there was a rope, fishing from the eaves.
"It's the strings. Su Bai stretched out his hand to look down on the string, and then half of the people threw themselves on the edge of the eaves and looked down, and the rest of the people also followed and lay down here to look down.
"The place where the strings connect is Zhao Rui's room!" Lucy shouted at this time, "This is definitely Zhao Rui's room, because I live next door to her, I can't be wrong." ”
"Muntari, please go down and make sure. Su Bai said to Muntari.
Montari immediately went down, and after a while, he opened the window in Zhao Rui's room, stretched out his hand and pulled up, and grabbed the strings very easily.
"That's right. Su Bai stood up and patted the dust on his body, "The purpose of this string should be to connect Simon's corpse to Zhao Rui on the other hand, she can guess the degree of corpse transformation through the fluctuation of the strings, because corpse transformation is a gradual process, and Zhao Rui cannot stay on the roof all the time." Coupled with the weird explosion and the time when the zombies rushed into my room, that's right, Zhao Rui actually committed suicide, and she gave herself double insurance!"
"What a woman. Chen Ming exclaimed.
Diana was also a little embarrassed, thinking that this woman named Zhao Rui had always been unnoticeable, but who knew that she was such a ruthless character.
"Breakfast was ready. The old butler appeared at this time and said at the mouth of the roof.
For the elusive old housekeeper, everyone is no longer surprised, anyway, now that it has been confirmed that Zhao Rui committed suicide, everyone is also relaxed, and they are probably thinking that they can sleep beautifully for a day with a good breakfast.
Lucy, Montari, Chen Ming, Xu Gang, Diana and others went down the ladder one after another, and everyone didn't wait for each other, whoever went down first went straight to the restaurant.
When Su Bai was about to go down the ladder, he looked at the old butler standing beside him and asked, "Can suicide really be regarded as the final victor if you don't find it?"
"This is the third time you've asked me. The old housekeeper looked at Su Bai with a meaningful smile on his face.
