"Brother, don't be nervous, don't even trust me?"

Mei Xu Yuejing asked in a panic: "You can do anything for money, of course I won't trust you completely." You were back then... You....you're but..."

"You shut up, you're involved!" Matsumoto Sakuragi interrupts Mio Tsukikei to speak.

"What did you do back then?" Akechi Yusuke asked.

"It's none of your business, don't be nosy."

"The doctor is right, the murderer could also be between the seven of us. Don't trust each other too much. Oh, by the way, you all have ID cards, right? "Yota Kudo broke the ice.

Everyone replied that they had belts, but they were all in their trouser pockets, but the pants were collected by the old housekeeper and locked in the cabinet.

"That's easy. ID cards don't verify our occupation, but our names, ID cards don't lie. ”

What you mean is that the murderer hid among the seven of us, and then, when he introduced himself, he gave a pseudonym. Hinata Munehide asked.

Yota Kudo nodded.

"Then why did the murderer give a false name?" Hinata Sohide tilted his head in thought, still puzzled and asked.

"Murder will have a weak heart, and it is normal to disguise yourself under a false name.

"Just wait until dawn to find the old housekeeper, force him to take out the key, find everyone's ID card and check it."

At this time, Matsumoto Sakuragi pointed at Akechi Yusuke's nose and scolded, "You must have killed this four-eyed boy." Even the earrings had to be handed in before the reasoning contest was conducted, why didn't your glasses be handed in. ”

Akechi Yusuke looked disdainful and did not choose to answer Matsumoto Sakuragi's question.

Kudo smiled shyly. Ask Akechi Yusuke, "Doctor, can you tell how long the deceased has been dead?" ”

"In my experience, the deceased had been out of breath for about a day."

"We drank the wine at 9pm on August 4th, so it should be past 9pm on August 5th. It is clear that the murderer is not the old butler. ”

"Why not him?"

Yota Kudo pointed to the candle on the candlestick and said, "A day has passed, but the candle has not burned yet, what is the reason?" That's because the killer put on a new candle. If it was the old butler who killed someone, he could have escaped every day, and there was no need to do it.

"And what if the owner of the castle, Mr. Takamoto, instigated him to kill someone?"

"If you were an old butler and you killed the man in sunglasses as Mr. Takamoto had ordered, would you be content to stay in the castle and let others become suspicious of you? No, you'll be disheartened and run away. ”

"You'd be wrong. If the old butler escapes, the more we suspect him as a murderer, because he is the only one missing. Hinata, retorted.

"You're right. If he escapes, the more people will suspect that he is the murderer, then it stands to reason that he should stay here. But he hasn't shown up yet, don't you think it's strange? ”

At this time, the twin sisters shouted in unison, "Old man, where are you?" We're not going to play this race, we're leaving. ”

No one responded.

"I'm afraid he'll be killed too......"

"Could it be Mr. Takamoto?"

"There is no such thing as Mr. Takamoto."

Yota Kudo frowned, it was strange that there was no psychometric index list this time.

"It's a murder." Kudo said as he recovered.

Everyone nodded "uh-huh" to show that it made sense.

"The doctor is right, the murderer is likely to be among the seven of us"

"It's a bit too early to draw conclusions, the castle is so big, and we haven't searched it carefully? It cannot be ruled out that there were others inside the castle. ”

"That's right."

The night, so quiet, every trace of quiet breath evokes a touch of melancholy, lying in the deepest corner of the bottom of the cabinet. The night, so long. The arrival of the day gradually opened up everyone's dull state of mind.

Yota Kudo looked out the window and said worriedly, "It would be best if I could walk, but now the suspension bridge has already been raised." The murderer premeditated to prevent us from leaving here. ”

"So what are we going to do now?"

"What are you afraid of? You didn't kill anyone. ”

"I didn't kill anyone, but everyone was afraid of being killed.

"Yo, where was your courage to kill back then?" Matsumoto Sakuragi said sarcastically.

Mio Yue gritted her teeth in a boom......

Hinata Sohide looked directly at Mio Yuejing and said, "It seems that you are a young murderer, and you just came out of prison not long ago, right?" ”

"Bastard, if you shake my business out, then I don't need to be polite to you. Yes, I killed someone, but he encouraged me to do it. ”

"I didn't care about my life for a long time. I've killed people and been in prison, but I didn't come out in the end? ”

"It's because of the Law on the Protection of the Last Adult that you have a chance to come out, right?"

"Perhaps."

"You don't have the slightest remorse?"

"Repent, you don't know how much fun it is to kill. For some reason, I watched those people slowly torture to death by me, and I actually felt a sense of conquest. Matsumoto Sakuragi sneered, with a satanic aura.

"I won't hide it. The man in sunglasses is our boss, his name is Mitsuo Tokugawa. He, Matsumoto Sakuragi, and I killed a newlywed couple together. ”

Upon hearing this, the twins panicked, and everyone gritted their teeth in anger.

"So what? Back then, I encouraged Mio Tsukijing to participate and told him that we were in the last years of adulthood, and the police couldn't do anything to us! As I expected, Mitsuo Tokugawa and I came out unharmed. Except for my eldest brother, he escaped from prison after he was put in a cell. ”

"Kawaguchi City couple murder incident, murder incident, right? The couple had just gotten married and went on their honeymoon. The forest area is densely forested and has beautiful scenery, but it is sparsely populated. You killed the couple and robbed them of their finances. The police only released a photo of the murderer, Mitsuo Tokugawa, but the other two people did not release it because they were minors. I guess the other two are the two of you, right? ”

"How do you know?" Mio Yuejing asked in a panic.

"Because it's reported in the newspapers."

"So what? If the murderer of our eldest brother also wanted to kill me, then Mio Tsukikei and I would not be alive now, but should lie there like our eldest brother. You say, right? Matsumoto Sakuragi replied without bothering.

"Whatever? The first priority is to find the old butler first. When I came, I first took a look at the castle, which has three floors. The area is also quite large. I searched the ground floor with the doctor, Sakuragi Matsumoto and Mio Tsukikei searched the second floor together, and Yota Kudo and the twin sisters searched this floor together. After the inspection, how about we meet here together? ”

"Okay."

"Wait, I have a way to find out who the murderer is, and it's among the seven of us. If the search is carried out now, the evidence of the crime may be washed clean by the murderer. ”

"That's right. You say, what way? Hinata Munehide asked.

"Please put your hands on your chest and spread them out. I want to check it out. ”

Everyone wondered, "Why?" ”

"I said that the murderer had changed the candles, and if the murderer forgot to wash his hands, the murderer might have candle tears on his hands. His thumb and forefinger will be relatively greasy. ”

Everyone thought that Kudo's words were very reasonable, so they spread their hands. Yota Kudo examined their fingers and found nothing.

Yota Kudo thought to himself: "The murderer is really a delicate person, after touching the candle, he washed his hands, and with a thousand hands, it will be difficult to be discovered." ”

"What? Did you find out? ”

Yota Kudo shook his head.

"It seems that the murderer is someone other than us. Now let's go around and search the castle for the whereabouts of the old butler. ”

They began to search the castle to see if there were any other suspicious characters hiding in the castle.

Yota Kudo inspected the kitchen, where a large amount of food was stored in the freezer.

"There must be others here, and the old butler alone can't make that much food." Kibuta Hakuda said.

Yota Kudo inspected the sealed food and the stove, saying, "There is no cook here, and neither is the old housekeeper." ”

"How?"

"The food we ate was cold and there was no sign of the stove being moved. The food is sealed with a film. It appears that the food was purchased from outside. So, there is no cook. ”

There is a sink next to the kitchen, and when Yota Kudo goes to the pool, he finds the water dripping from the faucet, and there are two pairs of bloody gloves and two black uniforms in the pool. The black uniform has dark red blood stains on it.

"It seems that the murderer is in our group. The killer killed with gloves and changed his clothes. Kibuji Harata said.

"That's true. But there is one doubt that I am puzzled by. ”

"What doubts?" Harata asked.

"Why did the killer put his clothes and gloves here? The murderer could have put these things in the furnace and burned them. Once placed here, it's easy for us to spot, and we'll soon lock the suspect in our group, isn't the murderer asking for trouble? I think there are two possibilities for this. First, the murderer deliberately let me

We don't understand why we see these things. Second, the killer may not have enough time to deal with these things. ”

"You don't think it's complicated."

"If the murderer deliberately let us find out, it means that the murderer is not in our group. The murderer is here to blame us and make us suspect each other. If the murderer doesn't have enough time to deal with this, it means that the murderer also fell asleep after drinking with us, but the murderer woke up first to commit the murder, and after the murder, he saw that the others woke up, and he panicked and didn't have time to deal with these things. But if this is the case, it is very illogical, and the murderer can pretend to drink and fall asleep, because it is more time-saving and labor-saving to commit the murder. But if you pretend to drink and fall asleep, the murderer will have time to deal with these things after committing the murder, and the murderer will not put these in such a tasteful place. It's a puzzling feeling. ”

Hakata Qibu Si Waner smiled and said, "What if the murderer is really a careless person? ”

"Wearing gloves to commit crimes, they are all people with anti-investigation capabilities. What's more, why did the murderer change his clothes? ”
