Chapter Sixty-Eight: The True Murderer Discovered!
"Let's repeat it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Su Bai stood up and said to Diana, "Since he feels good about himself to draw snakes, then there is no reason why we should not seize this opportunity." ”
"Have you thought of the crux of the matter?" Diana looked at Su Bai and blinked, in the real world, Diana was a criminal policeman in France, but just now, she felt from Su Bai a feeling when she was chasing fugitives before.
Audience killing is completely different from ordinary people killing people, the audience kills people and says something bad, no different from people killing livestock, like killing chickens and sheep, because the improvement of the level of life leads to a change in mentality, so that the audience does not feel that they are killing people when they kill people, there is no fear, there is no fear, there is no worries, there is no worry about the law, and they do not care about retribution.
But when ordinary people kill people, they will look forward and backward, and there will be all kinds of psychological changes.
Just like Su Bai, who had just conducted a psychological test on the murderer.
"Greet people, repeat the process of dinner in the evening, even if you can't remember some details, but as long as you can roughly know who is sitting next to you, what kind of clothes you are wearing, etc., you can do it. Su Bai said.
"Okay, I'll go. ”
Diana and Su Bai left the gym, there were six people sitting in the living room, looking very calm, everyone is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and it is impossible to look like ordinary people cowering and crying in an ordinary murder environment.
"The exact time of death of the corpse, you should know it yourself when I ask you, I am a necromancer, so don't have any doubts about the time of death of my corpse, I am a professional.
Simon, the deceased, died around 3 p.m. ”
As soon as Diana said this, the rest of the people present showed a look of surprise on their faces, there were no really stupid people here, so everyone immediately thought of the crux of the problem, that is, at dinner, it seemed that there were no fewer people.
Giving everyone in the room three minutes to think, Diana clapped her hands and said, "So I think it's important to reenact the scene at dinner." ”
As she spoke, Diana looked at the old butler, "Old butler, can you tell me ......?"
"I'm sorry, I can't. The old housekeeper smiled slightly, obviously, the old housekeeper is an outsider, he is the one who is responsible for serving the food and cleaning up finally when everyone is eating, he can naturally see more things that insiders can't see, but the old housekeeper's meaning is very simple, everyone just treats him as if he doesn't exist, he won't be a witness, and he won't provide any information about the murderer.
This is a dedicated NPC.
"Oh well. Diana was not so disappointed, obviously the old butler's response was also what she expected, she said directly: "Please repeat the process when you call us to eat tonight, for example, what dishes you serve, you have to go through the previous process, and the rest of us have taken on our own roles and started over." ”
"That's fine. The old butler agreed.
"Okay, now everyone, think back to where you were and what you were doing when the old butler called us to eat, please go back to where you were at that time, pretend to do what you were doing, and recall some details of the time as much as possible when you reenact, such as what you saw the person on the other side doing, or what you saw the person next to you doing, try to interact with it, you can also remind it, okay, now you can prepare, wait for the old housekeeper to send a notice to start eating. ”
Diana clapped her hands and motioned for a start.
Everyone left the living room one after another, and Diana glanced at Su Bai meaningfully, she knew that this reenactment should be just a pretense, and Su Bai should have other methods.
Diana, Lucy, Pique, Zhao Rui and Su Bai walked to the second floor together, at that time, they all said in their "confessions" that they were sleeping or reading in the room, Montari and Xu Gang went to the gym, Chen Ming walked out of the entrance door, and he went outside to see the scenery.
Su Bai opened the bedroom door, walked in, and then waited.
"It's time to eat............"
The old butler's hoarse but penetrating voice can clearly hit your eardrums, whether you are sleeping or listening to music with headphones on.
Su Bai immediately remembered the scene in his mind where the owner knocked on the food bowl, and then a group of puppies immediately ran over and waited for dinner.
After waiting for a while, Su Bai pushed the door open, and he saw Lucy standing next to his door.
"I remember when I went down, you walked ahead of me. Lucy explained.
Su Bai nodded, and then began to walk down, obviously, everyone had entered the state, and even the subtle order could be distinguished under each other's reminders.
In the bedroom, in the gym, watching the scenery outside, came to the dining room, there is a white long table in the dining room, similar to the table used by European aristocrats in the movie, not to mention 9 people dining, 20 people can easily sit down when they eat, and the meals are served by the old housekeeper one dish at a time for everyone to take the public tableware for themselves, which is also a form of buffet.
Because everyone was not familiar with it at the beginning, when they sat down to eat, everyone consciously sat one by one, that is to say, there was an empty seat between the two, and then in this specific atmosphere, the position where they sat for the first time became the fixed position of everyone during the subsequent meal, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding of convention.
Everyone pulled out their chairs and sat down, the old butler began to serve the food, and everyone began to recall the details of the dinner table, one said what was eating at that time, one said that that ate a lot of that, and one said that the fork made a loud noise, everyone recalled together, and at the same time they were verifying each other.
At this time, the place of the deceased Simon was undoubtedly vacant, and sitting next to Simon were Lucy and Peake, and for some reason, everyone could not recall Simon's behavior at the dinner table at that time.
This is also normal, because Simon died before the dinner started, and he didn't eat at all, but everyone didn't feel that there was a lack of one person, obviously there was one person playing the role of two people, in this case, the sense of presence was naturally very low, and the murderer didn't dare to make any sense of existence.
When the old butler came over with an empty plate and said borscht, Lucy suddenly said, "I remember that the man who was sitting on my side said that he would leave some borscht for my lady, and then the old butler said that all the dishes were enough. ”
As she said this, Lucy looked at Simon's position, and then at Pique, who was further away.
Peake shook his head and said, "I didn't say that, in fact, I really don't like to drink that borscht at all." ”
The problem arose here, and everyone fell silent all at once, obviously in the midst of mutual memories and confirmations, the repetition of the situation finally fell into a paradox at this time.
There was a man, in that position, who said to leave some borscht for Lucy, then, that is, the murderer left his place at that time and sat in Simon's place.
"I remember when I served borscht, there were already people ready to leave. Su Bai said.
Everyone sat down first and began to eat first, thinking that they could leave after eating, and there were no special constraints.
Diana nodded and said, "It's true that I didn't drink borscht, which means I may have left to go to the living room at that time." ”
"Can't say that. Chen Ming said, "The dining room is connected to the kitchen and the living room, our dining table is facing the door of the living room, if you want to go back to the bedroom on the second floor, you must first enter the living room and then go upstairs, I think, at that time, no one should choose to go into the kitchen to help the old housekeeper wash the dishes, right?"
Chen Ming then made another gesture, drew a circle, and said, "It's actually very simple, the murderer only needs to show his and Simon's sense of existence, whether the murderer quickly applies makeup and removes makeup or even changes his face in the Chinese Sichuan drama, but his only route is also the most suitable route, which should be at the beginning of dinner and the end of dinner, these two times, people come and go, suitable for him to play the role of two people, and the time for all of us to eat is very short, and according to the position where Simon has been sitting." ”
Xu Gang stood up, pointed to himself, then to Lucy next to him, and then to Pique and Su Bai over there, and said, "Only the people who sit on our side, have this opportunity, it is impossible to sit on the opposite side, after playing themselves, go around, walk to the living room and walk back, or walk to the kitchen side, this will definitely attract attention!"
Only when you sit on this side and are on the side of Simon, you can take advantage of the time when you come over, first eat in your own position or in Simon's position now, and then get up and go to another role of yourself to continue dining, and when you come back after the meal, you can change your identity again and deepen your impression again. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Ming pointed at himself, then Lucy, and then Pique and Su Bai,
"That is to say, the murderer is among the four of us, oh, by the way, the female detective, you excluded Wang Yi, a Chinese, that is to say, the murderer is likely to be among me Chen Ming, Lucy and Pique.
I can say this logic, put myself into the suspect, and if I am excluded for the time being, the murderers are Lucy and Pique, they are next to Simon's position, and it is very convenient for one person to play two roles. ”
"Ridiculous, my logic and reasoning surprise me, of course, I agree that what you say is very reasonable, but in my opinion, the murderer, it should be you and Lucy and this Wang Yi, the three of you, sitting on this side, the murderer must be one of you. ”
Lucy shook her head, her gaze swept over Chen Ming, Piqué and Su Bai in turn, obviously, her opinion was that among the three people who excluded herself, there must be a murderer.
"Then it's clear, now it's a matter of finding evidence. Su Bai stood up and nodded to Diana, who took out a bottle of iron powder and a small brush.
"It's amazing to be able to make something that collects fingerprints. Peake exclaimed, "I think about it, do you go to the piano, by the way, there may be the murderer's fingerprints there." ”
While saying these words, Pique's eyes wandered around Lucy and Chen Ming with interest, and it was obvious that when Su Bai asked Diana to take out the iron powder, he temporarily excluded Su Bai from the murderer's range.
"I'm sorry. Su Bai shrugged his shoulders and walked between Lucy and Peake, that is, standing behind Simon's chair, "We are not sure if we can get fingerprints on the piano, and everyone has also examined the body and the piano at that time, although the probability of leaving fingerprints at the switch port is not large, but I think that since the murderer is bored enough to play a game of drawing snakes, the fingerprints on the piano should have been eliminated, and even the murderer may have been wearing gloves to complete the murder process, so it is naturally impossible to leave fingerprints." ”
"Then you have a ............ with this" Peake looked at Su Bai in confusion, but suddenly stopped talking.
Su Bai looked at Peake with a smile, his fingers pointing to the chair Simon was sitting on.
This chair, still leaning against the table, was not pulled out, and in this state, it was impossible to sit on it and eat.
"On this chair, there will be the fingerprints of three people. Su Bai continued, "One is the old butler, because he tidies up here every day, pushing all of our chairs inward and arranging them neatly, and the other is Simon, of course, and the other is ...... It's the murderer's.
The murderer can wear gloves when he kills, but I don't believe that the murderer will also wear gloves during meals, otherwise it would be impossible for everyone to go undetected.
And, fortunately, Simon is a man, Mr. Peake, you wouldn't have offered to pull out a chair for a man and invite him to sit down, would you? Of course, Ms. Lucy wouldn't have done that. ”
