Chapter 21: Personality

This is a small and closed secret room, only a chandelier hangs in the center, the chandelier is old so it is not too bright, so the secret room is still a little dim.

Zhang Yichi sat on a chair, and in front of him was a small long table, and on the other side of the small long table was a man sitting opposite him.

[Welcome, Samsara.

You'll experience a variety of worlds here.

In this world of reincarnation, you will serve as a judge and put a strange murder on trial.

The man who killed his own brother has a triple personality. Of these, only one personality is innocent. What you have to do is find out the truth, give a verdict every twenty-four hours, and eliminate the existence of the personality you believe to be the murderer.

Succeed and leave the world of reincarnation with innocents. Defeat, the killer wins, and you and the innocent will be wiped out. 】

Zhang Yichi carefully looked at the man sitting in front of him, the man was sitting upright and looked calm and calm. But his pale face and emaciated body made him feel listless.

"You're also a reincarnation?" Zhang Yichi asked.

The reason for this question is that when he first gave out the mission, it was said that if he succeeded, he would leave the world of reincarnation with innocent people. The only people who can enter and exit the world of reincarnation should be reincarnated, so these three personalities may be three people like him.

"Yes." The man said calmly, "What do you call it?" ”

"Zhang Yichi." Zhang Yichi raised his vigilance after learning that the other party was a reincarnation, he looked down at the items he currently owned, there was a watch in his hand showing that it was 0:00, a report on the table, and a notebook for him to record and organize information.

The man also reported his name: "My name is No. 1." ”

"Number one?" Zhang Yichi glanced up at the man, and then opened the report, the first page of the report contained information on the three personalities.

"Well, we don't have names, so we all use numbers to identify ......"

No. 1 was explaining, and Zhang Yichi listened and flipped through the report.

On the first page, it is written when the three personalities awakened.

I woke up at 0:00 on the 1st, 8:00 on the 2nd, and 4:00 on the 3rd.

Each personality wakes up for eight hours, during which time they can maintain their ability to remember and think independently.

The first page of the report also briefly explains the characteristics of the three personalities. However, it is noted later that these personalities may be disguised by them, and the sorting may not be accurate, so it is for reference only.

No. 1, capable and therefore conceited, but very responsible.

Number two, naΓ―ve, helpful, likes to play games.

Number three, mean, careful, rational.

The second page of the report is a brief introduction to the murder.

Between half past nine and ten last night, the man's younger brother, who has autism, fell to his death.

Judging by the traces of the scene, it was not a suicide.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Number One woke up. Seeing that his brother was not at home, he went out to look for him, found that his brother had fallen, and immediately called an ambulance and the police.

Then, time is set to 0.00 minutes, which is now.

"Have you seen this?" Zhang Yichi picked up the report book and raised it to No. 1, and read a few more paragraphs to him.

Number One nodded: "I know all about it." ”

"Hmm...... Something strange. Zhang Yichi looked at the second page of the report book, "It says that your brother died between half past nine and ten o'clock, and that time was the awakening time of the third day." Since it wasn't suicide, it should have been something he could only push down. But will the case be that simple? ”

"Maybe it's that simple, don't be smart but be mistaken by being smart." Road 1.

Zhang Yichi was silent for a long time, and asked No. 1 a question: "Where were you when you woke up at zero o'clock?" ”

"I woke up from my bed, and when I went to the bathroom, I found that my brother wasn't there, so I started looking for him-"

"Look, there's a problem again." Zhang Yichi interrupted No. 1's words, "You woke up in bed, indicating that No. 3 should have gone back to lie down." If he killed his brother, then how could he go back to lying down? Could it be that the psychological quality is very strong? ”

No. 1's mouth opened slightly to say something, but he hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "You have to ask him about this." ”

Zhang Yichi raised his eyebrows, looked around again, there was a locked door on one side of the secret room, so he changed the subject: "Where does that lead?" ”

"I don't know." Road 1.

"Well......" There are enough eight hours of interrogation time, which is very abundant, Zhang Yichi is no longer in such a hurry, he slows down and considers every place, "Of the three of you personalities, two of them are murderers, so they are bound to join forces to commit crimes." The need to join forces means that to kill your brother, it is not enough to rely on one personality, or the time period when one of them awakens. ”

Number One listened quietly, then nodded: "Very pertinent analysis." ”

Zhang Yichi observed No. 1's facial expression: "So whoever comes for the three of you will say that the other two are murderers and they are innocent." But you should also know that just saying this will not make me let go of my doubts. You'll have to show proof that you're not the murderer, and then explain why you think the two of them are murderers. ”

"Okay." Number One adjusted his sitting posture and looked very sincere, "First of all, believe it or not, I still have to say that I am innocent, and I have no idea about it. ”

Zhang Yichi took a notebook and a pen and listened attentively.

"Since I'm not the murderer, then the two of them must be. But to be honest, I don't know what their motives were for. Number One shook his head, frowning slightly, thinking, "The three of us have lived together in this body for a long time, and my brother has been sick for so long, but we have always been in harmony. Why did this happen all of a sudden, I really don't understand......"

Zhang Yichi held the pen for a long time but didn't put it down for a long time, he said: "How old is my brother this year." ”

"At the age of eighteen, after my parents passed away one after another, we have been raising them."

"What are you doing now?"

"As a designer, the salary is not bad. The work is mainly done by me and Two, because the time when the two of us wake up will basically coincide with the working time. No. 2 doesn't know much, mainly in the company, design and the like I will make overnight after I wake up, and the two of us work well together. He wakes up at 4:3 p.m., and although he can't help much at work, he will also help with some trivial issues. "No. 3 is mainly at night, he is in charge of household affairs, cleaning, taking care of his younger brother, and occasionally needs to work overtime in the company. ”

"I'm a little surprised, you'll say that you and Two have a good understanding. Normally, you should avoid this. After all, it was two personalities who joined forces to kill my brother, and your tacit understanding with No. 2 would be a clue that would be unfavorable to you. Zhang Yichi excerpted the key points in his notebook, "By the way, since you have maintained independent memory and independent thinking ability during your respective awakening periods, how do you usually communicate with each other?" ”

"Leaving a note, well, is an inefficient way, but it seems like the only way to communicate." Number One shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly, "We left messages for each other, and we arranged our own affairs like this. Later, it was already very tacit, so there was no need to communicate even in normal times, and it could be taken over seamlessly. ”

What did Zhang Yichi remember: "You are not hostile? ”

"It's not hostile or friendly, we work together to keep the whole thing going. On top of this, each of the three of us has a life of its own. Number One explained.
