Chapter 5: Suspicion
The next day, I woke up almost noon, and when I woke up, I immediately noticed something.
Noguchi Masao disappeared from the island, and Tenichi felt his "sin" completely untouched, indicating that Noguchi had either left the island or had turned into a corpse.
Tianyi sensed that Carl, Isaac, Dale, and Lambert were on the island, probably in search of food, and the rest were all on the beach, except for Noguchi.
Walking straight towards Yang Gang, Tianyi said, "Officer Yang." β
Yang Gang was seriously trying to drill wood to make a fire, but looking at his sweaty appearance, it was estimated that the progress was not going well: "What's the matter?" He didn't look back, and continued to bury his head in what he was doing.
"Do you know where Noguchi went?"
Yang Gang's physical signs did not change significantly, and his heartbeat and breathing did not fluctuate much, but he replied impatiently: "It seems that I haven't seen him all morning, and I can't keep looking at everyone here, what's the matter, are you looking for him?"
"Oh, nothing, you keep busy. Tianyi replied casually and walked away.
Tianyi Xindao: It stands to reason that if Noguchi is killed by someone, the most likely person to attack is one of Yang Gang and Carl. Last night, at least Noguchi was still awake when Tianyi and Jiang Yun came back, so Noguchi should have known about Yang Gang and Carl leaving together and returning one after another, assuming that there was a two-percent possibility, Noguchi deduced that Carl and Yang Gang were accomplices, and then assuming that this guy was very ignorant to break the matter with one of the two, then his death would make sense.
But Yang's reaction just now shows that he has no knowledge of Noguchi's disappearance. The interval between last night's time when I fell asleep and when someone woke up in the morning was only a few hours. Assuming that Carl killed Noguchi, and so far he has not had a chance to tell Yang Gang about it, then the greatest possibility is that in the hours before dawn, Noguchi went to Carl himself, broke the matter, and was killed. There is also a small possibility that Noguchi told one of the people about the incident, and it turned out that Carl found out, and if that was the case, Karl should have killed the person who knew about it, then it shouldn't be only Noguchi's "sin" disappeared from the island...... Could it be that he just hasn't been able to do it yet, maybe one or more of Isaac, Dale, and Lambert are all targets of Carl, and he or they already know from Noguchi's mouth that Carl and Yang Gang are accomplices?
Thinking of this, Tianyi denied this inference again, Noguchi didn't know that Yang Gang was a wanted criminal, and he didn't hear the conversation in the forest last night, from his point of view, what can he speculate at most? It is possible that Yang Gang and Carl just went to the forest to have a not very friendly argument, or it is possible that they are really accomplices, so what, even if Noguchi can deduce that Yang Gang's police identity is fake, it is impossible to judge that these two are experienced gangsters.
Therefore, Noguchi did not have any grip on it, and there was no act of threat or questioning. The only possibility that he was killed by Carl was that he quietly asked Carl in the middle of the night why he left with Yang Gang, and Carl felt that it was unclear, so he killed people.
But at this point, there are two problems, first, if a person like Noguchi really asks, he will also ask Yang Gang, who claims to be a policeman, instead of Carl, who has a vicious face; second, Carl's city is quite deep, even if he is asked, he has several arguments, such as he and Yang Gang just went to argue elsewhere, or simply quibbled that he was just going to, and he had no idea about Yang Gang's whereabouts, anyway, they came back at different times. There was no reason for Carl to rush to kill Noguchi, he wasn't such a breathless man.
When Tianyi walked from Yang Gang's side to the coconut tree where he was sleeping, he had already completed several repeated inferences in his mind, but none of them came to a reasonable conclusion, so the question came back to the question, is Noguchi's disappearance dead or leaving? If so, who is the murderer? Is it one of the thirteen people? Why did that person kill Noguchi? Or did the person who caught them on this desert island do it? What did he want to do? Does he want to play the kind of game where one person disappears every day? Or is the organizer of the game mixed in with the crowd? Or is Noguchi himself?
Tianyi gradually began to feel that things were getting interesting, and he couldn't figure it out, so it could be regarded as a pastime.
There is a way to leave this island, Tianyi has it, and he doesn't want to use it for the time being. If you want to know whether the remaining eleven people know, it is very simple, they can be subdued, tortured and tortured, of course, Tianyi has no plans in this regard for the time being.
Since someone wants to play, he will proceed according to the rules, and after the opponent wins decently, he will count the various loopholes in the opponent's rules, and how scummy the game is, this is a Tianyi victory.
............
At noon, the four "hunting" people came back, and they actually caught a badger, but unfortunately the person who made the fire was only sweating all the time, although he had been making the fire.
More than a dozen people sat there staring dryly, and it was estimated that these guys were going to come up with the final plan again - eat coconuts.
Tianyi sighed, sometimes, he will become a person who is very particular about eating, but most of the time, he also eats junk food with relish. And on this island, the only thing he can't stand is to eat fruit as a meal.
He grabbed a handful of dead leaves and walked over to Yang Gang, "Officer Yang, if you don't mind, let me try." β
Yang Gang was already panting like a cow, and he couldn't ask for it: "Come on." "He was bitter in his heart, except for the four people who went into the woods to hunt in the morning, the old perverts were nowhere to be found, the pedophiles and the little boys were useless, and there was a talkative Gavin, who was also a monk's combβit was useless, and the rest were not women, only this one who opened a bookstore.
Yang Gang thought to himself: If you want to say that this is called Tianyi, the skin is also quite thick, so far except for picking up girls, I haven't done anything serious, I haven't woken up all day long, I sleep like a dead pig, and I don't move until the three poles of the day, in the morning, Carl looks at him like that, and he is embarrassed to call him. Could it be that this virtuous person can make fire at once?
Tianyi looked at the two pieces of wood that Yang Gang had drilled for a long time, squatted down, crumpled the dead leaves in his hand, mixed some sand, stuffed it into the hole that had been drilled deep in the wood, picked up another piece of wood, quickly rubbed it for more than ten seconds, lowered his head, blew a few times into the hole, and smoked......
Tianyi did this action three times over and over again, and an open fire was already burning on the wood. He casually grabbed the dead branch prepared by Yang Gang next to him, threw it into the fire, then stood up and said to Isaac, who was carrying the prey: "I'll deal with the badger, this thing is either earthworm ants or in the internal organs......
So, at noon the next day, after being hungry for a day and a night, he finally ate a few bites of meat as he wished, and he felt no satisfaction in his heart, only feeling pathetic, in all respects......
When a group of people gathered around and feasted on a piece of meat they had allocated, Tianyi spoke again: "I don't know if you have noticed, Noguchi is gone." β
Judging from the expressions of everyone, there are really people who have just realized this, and Tianyi continued: "According to my estimate, he either stepped on a bottomless pit in the forest and died, or he committed suicide by jumping into the sea. He didn't shy away from making a big fuss: "The good news is that from this meal, we can get a small portion of food, and the bad news is ......" He looked up to the sky and paused for two seconds: "I didn't think of it for the time being." β
From a moral point of view, this statement was quite shocking, and several people directly cast strange glances at Tianyi, as if it was a bad behavior to be so indifferent and indifferent to a person's death.
Tianyi just sneered when he saw their appearance, just now you didn't even realize that this old pervert had disappeared, and now you put on this saintly face again. In fact, to put it bluntly, the real idea of most of you is that I wish that a few more people on this island would die, leaving the best looking opposite sex alive, because maybe it can still be "used", of course, if there is a lack of food, it is best to die alone.
Ignoring the gazes of others, Tenichi continued, "There is another possibility, Noguchi was killed by someone. Either the one who killed him would be the one who had brought us to the island, or one of us. β
This sentence made everyone nervous, and their hearts beat noticeably faster. But that doesn't help Tianyi rule out the possibility that the game's organizers will be mixed in with the crowd.
"It doesn't really matter which one it is, because whether the murderer is in the midst of us or hiding somewhere on the island, our lives are in danger as well. Tianyi: "Of course I'm just saying that it's possible, you can also think that Noguchi is still alive, wandering around somewhere on the island, or jumping into the sea by himself." β
Gavin was beside him and said in a cold tone, "If Noguchi was really murdered, then aren't you the most suspicious?"
Tian kept looking into Gavin's eyes under his glasses, and the other party immediately avoided his gaze, Tianyi sneered: "How can you see it?"
"You were the first to mention that Noguchi was missing, and it was clear that Noguchi was most likely dead. Under normal circumstances, the murderer himself does not wait to remind everyone that someone has been killed. It is this kind of psychological suggestion that you use to put on the unscrupulous posture just now to say it, as if you have cleared up your own relationship and made us suspicious of each other. But no one will doubt you, because subconsciously, we all think that you are 'reminding' everyone. β
Tianyi smiled, looking very happy, this is a naked ridicule: "You have two stupid points in your opinion......" He directly began to curse: "First, under the same conditions, according to your so-called logic of 'diverting suspicions', you will be more suspicious than me." Because I'm just shutting myself off, and you're shutting yourself off by blaming others. According to what you said, the murderer usually does not remind everyone of the fact that the victim is missing, so you yourself meet this point, and when I put it forward, you immediately came to the conclusion that I am most suspicious without any evidence, either because you are a thief or you have feces on your body.
I just said 'one of us,' not 'one of you,' but 'we,' and I didn't leave myself out, but you came to this conclusion, why?"
Gavin was speechless for a moment, and Tenichi continued: "The second stupid place, hehe......" His laughter became chilling: "If it was really me who killed Noguchi, then...... Will a madman like me, who has been here so calmly after killing someone, talk to you so calmly, find an opportunity to knock you to death with a stone while you are not paying attention......
Tianyi's habit and preference for speaking is that the last sentence makes you think he is a good person, and the next sentence makes people think that he is a devil. In fact, he has never changed, he is just a mirror, and in the hearts of different people, what is reflected is their own humble and dirty thoughts, as well as human beings' doubts about their own sins.
Gavin was annoyed but frightened, and he didn't dare to attack, so he snorted, kept silent, and continued to eat his food.
Tianyi suddenly said to Yang Gang again: "Officer Yang, in the absence of actual evidence, a criminal suspect who is cruel and contemptuous of the law is a huge potential threat to witnesses or police officers handling the case." β
Yang Gang was stunned when he was asked, but instinctively responded, "Ahh......hh Be...... yes......"
Tianyi smiled and said to everyone: "So, please don't suspect the people around you without any basis, this will not only fail to find out the real culprit, but will make you more dangerous, if your suspicion is wrong, you will lose a friend, and if your suspicion is correct, in the case of impossible proof, you will die faster." When he said the word death, his expression was no longer laughing.
............
After eating a good meal of roasted badger meat, everyone's morale did not rise at all, but immersed themselves in a gloomy and depressing atmosphere. In the afternoon, the people went their separate ways, and there was only a little conversation between Jerry and Ruud, Dale and Lambert.
Tianyi knows that the more you warn and intimidate them, the more they will think about it. He had planted the seeds of mutual suspicion in the hearts of the people, and it was time for any of them to know anything today.
Yang Gang was very anxious in his heart, he thought that he could control the situation, pretending to be a policeman, and doing something for everyone, but it was not as influential as a few casual words on that day.
In human society, in addition to using interests to trend, the way of using security to threaten can also manipulate others.
It's a pity that Yang Gang has already sung a red face, and Carl doesn't dare to act like Tianyi, during the day, the two can't communicate directly, and I don't know what kind of thoughts everyone has in their hearts now.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yun didn't dare to come over to talk to Tianyi, but Tianyi felt that this woman had finally learned a little smarter, so it would be much more convenient for her to act by herself.
He quietly left the beach and headed out to the island alone. All the people present noticed Tianyi's departure, and their doubts became even thicker, did this man really open a bookstore? Did he kill Noguchi? What is he going to do now? Dispose of the corpse?
No one asked, no one dared to follow, and no one thought about the possibility that Noguchi was still alive......
