Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ideas

This is a windfall.

Zhang Yichi silently wrote this down in his notebook, and then took a puff of cigarette. The light of the cigarette butt flickered with his breathing, and his heart was a little chaotic, as if he was being drawn into a complex, cold, and suffocating whirlpool.

"Uh......" Zhang Yichi didn't know what to say for a while, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

"Almost." No. 2 was a little excited just now, but now he calmed down his breath, "You see, he has the conditions and motives for committing the crime, so why don't you doubt him but me?" ”

"Then what do you think is the motive of the Three? If Number One feels that his brother is a burden because of these things, what about Number Three? Isn't he usually at home? What conflict does he have with his brother? Zhang Yichi asked.

"Number Three...... I want to think about it......" No. 2 lifted Erlang's legs, and his state relaxed a little.

Zhang Yichi smoked silently, waiting for No. 2 to speak.

After a few minutes, No. 2 sat up straight: "This is not impressive, after all, I don't know what he did after me, this should be more clear to No. 1, you didn't ask him?" ”

"I'm here to record the personality of each of you, you can see if it's the same, tell me what you think." Zhang Yichi ignored No. 2's inquiry and continued to ask new questions.

"No. 1, capable, conceited, and responsible."

"It's quite in line, the work is basically done by others, so I just give it a start, and occasionally help out. He has conceited capital, but sometimes he is really too much, he thinks he is the best, and likes to arrange me to do this and that in a commanding tone......"

"You're naïve, game-loving, and helpful."

"Who would admit to being naïve, but I'm a gamer. The notebook used for the design of No. 1 is a second-hand item of Tao, and it can't bring any good games. So I usually secretly play on the company computer and play at noon when no one is around. Helpful? Haha, it's just a little favor, it's very convenient to do anything when you're popular. ”

"Number Three is mean, careful, and rational."

"It feels very mean to be mean, and every time I leave a message, his words are the most ugly. I don't know what kind of carefulness and rationality, I haven't seen him behave in this regard. ”

Zhang Yichi recorded No. 2's views on the three personalities in his notebook.

"What else is there to ask? You don't doubt me now, do you? No. 2 was curious about Zhang Yichi's current attitude.

"It's decided." Zhang Yichi said in his heart, then got up and turned his back to No. 2, holding the notebook in his hand, staring at the wall of the secret room.

It's half past nine.

He would like to summarize the progress made so far.

Number One already had a motive for the crime. He felt that what Number Two said should not be fake. Then, No. 1 gave up the opportunity to study for his younger brother two months ago, and half a month ago because his younger brother caused his savings to be used for compensation, it is very likely that he had murderous intent.

There are also conditions for committing the crime, and he can help No. 3 with the finishing touches. What he said was that he woke up from bed at zero o'clock is really unreasonable, and he should have done some hiding here.

No. 2, needless to say, although the motive for the murder and the conditions for the murder are not known, Zhang Yichi has been sure that he is the personality of one of the murderers. Now he thinks he is deceiving Zhang Yichi, and he is being deceived by Zhang Yichi. It's just that Zhang Yichi still doesn't know what No. 2 has done in this case since he is one of the murderers.

Number Three, there is currently no motive for the killing, but the younger brother fell to his death from the balcony while he woke up. If it wasn't for the hand of the third move, how did the younger brother fall to his death?

Zhang Yichi rubbed the bridge of his nose.

He had to get some more useful information out of Two's mouth, and the only place he could start now was that Two had a trip home at noon yesterday. Just forgot to take the USB drive on the day of the accident? Just forgot to take it that day and you were in a hurry? Zhang Yichi boldly guessed that No. 2 went back to get the USB drive just under the guise of it, and he should have made a layout for killing his younger brother when he went back.

If we can know what exactly Two's work has done when I go back, I may not be able to reverse the clues of another personality that is united with Two.

Now that there is basically no danger in the first round, Zhang Yichi has already planned to erase No. 2 in the first round. Then he now has three remaining opportunities to communicate, one to communicate with No. 1 and two to communicate with No. 3.

In these three times, he was confident that he would find any more important clues.

He turned his head to look at the locked door of the secret room on the other side.

It couldn't be that door without a purpose, since there was no key in the chamber to open. So it should open on its own when necessary, and what will be on the other side of the door?

Zhang Yichi now has a vague answer in his heart.

He already had an idea of what to do next.

"Have you rested? Let's move on. Zhang Yichi sat back in his seat.

No. 2 was stunned for a moment: "It's only been a few minutes, what are you doing in such a hurry, I feel that there is nothing to say, everything that should be said has been said." ”

"This time, if it's me, you can just listen." Zhang Yichi sat upright and opened his notebook, "What you heard next is the second version of the restoration of the case." ”

Second edition?

When No. 2 was stunned by the 'second version', Zhang Yichi also spoke.

"Yesterday at midnight, Number One woke up and worked as usual. After three o'clock, the work is done and sleep. I got up at half past seven and helped my brother wash up and make breakfast. You wake up at eight o'clock, you take your brother to the billiards hall, and then go to work yourself, and go home once at noon—"

"Take the USB drive." No. 2 reminds emphatically.

"At four o'clock in the afternoon, the third woke up. After work, he picked up his brother and pushed him downstairs between half past nine and ten o'clock. Then, instead of erasing the marks of the fight on the balcony or disposing of the body of his brother who had fallen, he went back to bed and lay down to sleep. At zero o'clock again, No. 1 woke up and found an abnormality on the balcony, and then went out to find his younger brother who fell to his death from the balcony, called an ambulance and called the police. Zhang Yichi said very smoothly, and after speaking, he paused for a while, "Did you find anything wrong?" ”

"He told you what happened to Number One?"

"Yes."

"He's clearly lying!"

"What's a lie?"

"How can No. 3 go back to sleep after killing his brother?"

Zhang Yichi's face was expressionless: "This is a suspicious point, but I think there is something more unreasonable." ”

"What?"

"You said that the two of them had joined forces to kill their brother, but now it is clear that there is a contradiction. If it's really the two of them, why would Number One and Number Three kill each other? Zhang Yichi asked.

"This, of course, is for self-preservation." Number Two choked.

Zhang Yichi was very dissatisfied with this answer: "They can obviously work together to make up a logically complete confession, which makes me doubt you." Since you're innocent, if I wipe you out in the first round, both of them will be alive. If you don't do a win-win situation, do you have to make a life and death? Do you think it's possible? ”
