Chapter Eighty-Three: The Killing Game
94
"Actually, Mr. Takamoto didn't invite me to come over for this competition. My eldest brother asked me to come along.
Yota Kudo hurriedly asked, "Why did the deceased invite you to come over to participate in this competition?" ”
"The eldest brother told me that he had been invited by Mr. Takamoto to participate in a reasoning competition, but on the condition that he had to bring his two good brothers with him to qualify. So, the eldest brother brought me and Mio Yuejing over together. ”
Fubo thought for a moment and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"It's true, Ge Minhao didn't lie."
"You two don't have an invitation. After lunch on August 4th, the old housekeeper wanted to check our invitation. Then you two don't, did the old housekeeper ask you to take out the invitation? ”
"Yes. But I didn't have an invitation letter with Mei Xu Yuejing, so the old housekeeper wanted to drive me and Mei Yuejing away, and at this time, my eldest brother took out his invitation letter and showed it to the old housekeeper. The requirement on the invitation letter of the eldest brother is: you must bring two people to participate in the competition, and the eldest brother is eligible to participate. The eldest brother introduced me and Meixu Yuejing to the old housekeeper, saying that the eldest brother brought me and Meixu Yuejing. The old butler didn't drive us away. Now that I think about it, it would have been nice if we had been driven away that day. ”
good fortune
Yota Kudo nodded, he knew in his heart that the murderer was likely to come for the murder in Kawaguchi City. The reason is simple: the killers of the old housekeeper and the man in sunglasses may be relatives of the newlyweds in the Kawaguchi City tragedy. The murderer wanted to kill the three people who caused the tragedy, but he only knew the appearance of Chen Kai, the man in sunglasses, and the other two were adults at the end of the year, and the police did not announce their appearance at that time, so they didn't know what they looked like. Therefore, the murderer designed an invitation request for Mitsuo Tokugawa, asking Mitsuo Tokugawa to bring two friends over to compete. Although the murderer didn't know if the two friends brought by Mitsuo Tokugawa also caused the tragedy, at least after killing Mitsuo Tokugawa, he could directly blame Mitsuo Tokugawa's friends. What is the connection between the doctor Mio Tsukikei, the detective Munehide Hinata, and the twin sisters and the murder in Kawaguchi City? Or is it unrelated, like yourself
It has nothing to do with the murder in Kawaguchi City, but isn't it the same as being invited to participate in the competition?
"Guys, are your invitations still there? Can you show me? Maybe I can find some clues. ”
They all hesitated.
"Why, do you still think the murderer is among us?"
"I'm not sure, I just want to find some clues."
Akechi Yusuke asked Yota Kudo, "You're a bit too much, aren't you?" ”
Yota Kudo retorted, "You said it yourself that the murderer could also be in our group
"Yota Kudo, the most important thing now is to get out of here. We are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. What if the murderer hides among us, sees that you are determined to solve the case, and has murderous intentions, and wants to kill you? ”
"What the uncle said is very true. But if we can catch the murderer as soon as possible, we can worry less. ”
"I said Yota Kudo, you're a little bit overwhelmed. Now it's like playing cards, you don't get a good card, you just play with others, do you think there is a chance to win? ”
Kudo Yota was puzzled and asked, "Then what does it mean to get a good card?" ”
"Get out of here, of course. Get out of here, save your life first, and then it's not too late to solve the case. Hinata Munehide suggested.
"Uncle's words are very reasonable, but the suspension bridge has been raised, how can you get out of here?"
"We just need to find the switch, press the switch, and lower the drawbridge?"
"It's useless, when Sakuragi and I searched on the second floor, we found the switch of the suspension bridge. It was already smashed by someone. ”
"Are you familiar with this castle? Can you find the switch to the suspension bridge? ”
"You don't want to be suspicious of a little thing. I escaped from the juvenile detention center and worked as an electrician for a while. Naturally, it is easy to see which is the switch of the suspension bridge. ”
At this moment, a siren sounded, and the air seemed to grow heavier. A magnetic voice rang out through the loudspeaker: Welcome to the murder game I have arranged, and whoever finds the murderer will win the 100 million yen grand prize. You are my prey, I am your death, I am the murderer, who am I, can you find out? I hid in the castle. If you find me, you can get 100 million yen and leave quietly and dignified. If you can't find it, I'll kill you. The next person I'm going to kill, his name is: Yota Kudo.
When Kudo Yota heard this, his face did not change, and a gloomy aura emanated.
I was seen by the twin sisters and frightened. Asked, "Are you alright?". ”
Yota Kudo quickly returned to his normal state and replied, "It's okay." ”
"The sound must have come from the radio studio. I walked around the castle once I entered it, and the radio room was on the ground floor. Uncle, doctor, when you inspected the bottom floor, didn't you see the murderer? ”
They both shook their heads.
"Would anyone like to go to the ground floor with me?"
Hinata's Sohide was surprised: "Are you crazy? You are the murderer's next target. Since the sound is coming from the broadcast room. It means that the murderer may be inside, don't you just look for death when you go? ”
"Here, only the uncle knows kung fu. I hope my uncle will come with me, it will be safer. ”
Hinata Zongxiu frowned, and said: "The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, what if the murderer has a gun?" No matter how good your kung fu is, you are afraid of bullets. ”
"If I die, it will be your turn next. Didn't the murderer say that he had to be found? ”
Harata Kibuji tugged on Hinata's arm and said, "What Yota Kudo said is right, uncle, you can agree to Yota Kudo's request." ”
"Oh well. However, we have to act together. Hinata, Sohide, had no choice but to agree. He continued, "If anyone doesn't want to stay together, I'm not responsible for being killed. ”
No one responded. It shows that everyone is willing to stay together.
They came to the door of the radio room, which was hidden. "For everyone's safety, I'll go first. Wait until I come out and gesture to you, and then you go in. With that, he went inside, and in less than 10 seconds, he walked out the door and made a "come in" gesture. The broadcast room was empty.
Yota Kudo inspected the broadcast room and found nothing special. The alarm is predetermined and played on time. There is a tape recorder on the table in the room, which is connected to a large speaker. Yota Kudo checked the tape recorder, there was a tape in the tape recorder, and Yota Kudo finished playing the tape from beginning to end, only in the middle part there was the sound of the broadcast just now, and the other parts did not.
Matsumoto Sakuragi got carried away and said to Kudo Yota: "After the tape is played, the murderer will be killed by name."
You're the only one, and it seems that you're born to be a short-lived ghost. ”
"Can you tell that the voice is someone you know?"
Everyone shook their heads. The human voice was easy to recognize, and it was clear that it could not have come from any one of the people. Therefore, the murderer can only be one of these seven people
Others outside.
The murderer is still hiding in the castle, but where is he hiding?
"Since we can't find the murderer, let's wait and see. We moved all the food from the kitchen to the dining room, and the murderer had to eat. I don't believe that he didn't show up when he was hungry, and everyone thought it was a good idea. So they moved all the food to the restaurant and stayed until the evening. People have to sleep. Hinata, Sohide, said to Yota Kudo, "I can only help here." Now everyone has to go back to their rooms and go to sleep. Even if everyone gathers here now, they will eventually fall asleep, which will also give the murderer an opportunity. So, it's better to go back to your room and fall asleep. ”
"Let's go back to our rooms and go to sleep. However, when you enter the room, be sure to lock the door. By the way, use the table and chairs in the room to block the door. Because the murderer may have the key to open everyone's room
Matsumoto Sakuragi laughed and said, "What are you afraid of, the murderer is going to kill you!" You'd better mind yourself. ”
Yota Kudo ignores this kind of person, and he knows in his heart that he can't be a murderer.
The sun came in through the window and shone on Yota Kudo's bed, stabbing Yota Kudo's eyes, he slowly opened his eyes and got up, and slowly walked to the bathroom
In a mirror facing me, there was a coldness
But with the face of a beautiful man who is difficult to hide.
Yota Kudo opened the door, bumped into Munehide Hinata, and greeted him, "Good morning, uncle, I thought I wouldn't be able to get out of bed today?" ”
"You won't die, and I won't let you die."
Yota Kudo didn't know what he meant.
"I'm going to see how the others are doing."
Yota Kudo knocked on the door of Yusuke Akechi's room, "I'm Yota Kudo." ”
Akechi Yusuke immediately said enthusiastically, "Good morning, Yota Kudo." ”
"Okay." Yota Kudo nodded.
Yota Kudo came to the door of Mio Tsukikei's room, knocked on the door, and did not respond.
Yota Kudo looked in through the window, and the room was empty.
He and Matsumoto Sakuragi are good brothers, maybe he ran to Matsumoto Sakuragi's house.
Yota Kudo came to the door of Sakuragi in Matsumoto and smelled a smell of blood, Yota Kudo immediately knocked on the door, but there was no response. He looked in through the window and saw four steel knives stuck behind Matsumoto Sakuragi, dead like the old butler.
