Chapter 40: Breaking the Game
"You've already done the deduction?"
Zhang Yichi returned to the living room and sat down: "I made two conjectures, one is the process of killing people with No. 2, and the other is the process of killing people with No. 1 and No. 2." ”
"Tell me? Maybe I can add something for you. "Number Three also came and sat down.
"Let's talk about No. 1 and No. 2 first, your speculations can just fill in the gaps in their crime process." Zhang Yichi opened the notebook and took a deep breath, "The day before yesterday, No. 1 woke up without any abnormality, No. 2 came back at noon to drug the juice, and did hands and feet on the window, they may have taught their younger brother how to break the rope, or they may have put a knife under the pillow as you said, and the younger brother can cut it." ”
Number Three listened attentively.
"When you go back in the evening, you drink the drugged juice and go to bed at nine o'clock to lie down and go to sleep. The younger brother broke the rope, and under some stimulus or inducement, he carried a stool to the balcony, opened the window and jumped down. Yesterday, at midnight, Number One woke up, he threw away the broken rope, found a new rope and hid it in the depths of the cabinet. Then he created a fake battle scene on the balcony, removed the stools, and changed the hands and feet that had moved the windows back. ”
Zhang Yichi finished speaking in one breath, and the two exhaled a long breath at the same time.
It's because they're tired of talking so much, and it's because the process of the case makes them feel heavy.
"I think that's the case." After listening to this, Number Three finally stopped looking so indifferent, "But after listening to it, I also found a few things that don't make sense, I don't know if it's the one that is bothering you now." No. 2's existence doesn't mean much, and what he does, No. 1 can do when he wakes up. The other is how the younger brother was induced and why he jumped off the building. ”
"This is exactly what I can't figure out now, as long as these two are said, No. 1 and No. 2 are likely to be murderers." Zhang Yichi said, "But don't be in a hurry to think about this yet, I'll talk about the killing process between you and No. 2, this is much more complicated than No. 1's." ”
No. 3 sat upright: "Inexplicably looking forward to it." ”
"The day before yesterday, I woke up on the first and didn't do anything, and the second went back at noon to do something with something. When you wake up, you coerce your brother into jumping from the building, and you create a clumsy scene to make yourself the most suspicious in the first place. However, as long as you have a sharp eye, you will find the anomaly at the scene, and realize that the scene is fake, but when you learn that it is fake, you will immediately eliminate your suspicion and let the innocent person bear the name of framing you. Even if I don't have sharp eyes and don't find out the truth of the scene, you will give me a 'reminder' and let me develop smoothly in the direction you want. I really drugged the juice, poured out half a bucket and said that I drank it myself, and I could frame others. In short, if you do this, it is against you on the surface, but as the case deepens, your suspicion will definitely get rid of. ”
"Bang bang."
Number Three applauded: "Wonderful." ”
"There are loopholes, number two is even more redundant, and those things are completely within your own control. And my brother wrote in his diary that he likes you very much, and you should have a very good relationship, I don't think you have a motive. Zhang Yichi himself made all the loopholes clear, and didn't wait for No. 3 to mention it.
"That's true, but it's also risky. After all, the evidence I want to get rid of suspicion is all on the spot, that is, the second round can only be obtained, so what if I am erased by you in the first round because I can't gain your trust? ”
"Looking at the way you look, I feel like you're a person who likes to be thrilled."
"Hahaha...... No. 3 laughed, "It's really accurate to look at people." ”
Zhang Yichi closed the notebook, he had read the contents of the notebook countless times, and now he really didn't want to look at it anymore: "There are two problems in the killing process of No. 1 and No. 2 that have not been solved, why should No. 1 join forces with No. 2, this is redundant." Why did the younger brother jump off the building by himself, and what happened between half past nine and ten o'clock? ”
The two looked at each other, and then looked together at the new phone on the table.
"You don't think you just said anything about the new phone, do you?" Number Three asked.
"No, no clue." Zhang Yichi replied.
No. 3 picked up the phone and didn't unlock it, just looked: "I heard you say you found it under the mattress in the bedroom?" ”
"Hmm."
"There's only one clue left for now, has it?"
"Yes." Zhang Yichi vigilantly took back the mobile phone from No. 3, "I can't figure out what the connection between this new mobile phone and the case is, it is empty, it should have been deleted." ”
No. 3's pupils shrank: "Do you think if I killed someone, I would use a mobile phone?" Even if you do, why use a new one? ”
Zhang Yichi didn't think about this problem.
"Only people who want to tell their brother something at the time of his death, but who are asleep at the time, will use their mobile phones. Just like the three of us usually communicate with each other with notes and mobile phone memos. No. 3 found the answer and slowed down, "As for why you want to use a new mobile phone, I should be afraid that I will find out if you use an old mobile phone." ”
"In other words, the thing that has been deleted in the mobile phone has a direct connection with my brother's suicide by jumping off the building." Zhang Yichi's train of thought was also opened up all at once.
"This mobile phone can only be No. 1." Number Three grinned, "Do you still suspect it's me?" ”
Zhang Yichi opened his phone: "Is there any way to recover deleted files in the phone?" ”
"He's not stupid, he should delete the file permanently, and he won't keep this as his own handle." No. 3 cut off Zhang Yichi's hope.
"Ah......" Zhang Yichi fell into deep thought.
In my mind, I began to substitute this inference into the process of killing my brother No. 1 and No. 2.
It makes sense, and this is currently the most logical explanation for the purpose of the new phone.
"Okay, then there is only one problem left for No. 1 and No. 2 to kill my brother." Zhang Yichi looked at No. 3 expectantly, "No. 1 can complete these things by himself, why should he join forces with No. 2?" ”
“…… I know. Three's eyes lit up and then dimmed, "Have you ever thought about a question?" ”
Zhang Yichi didn't speak, just looked up at No. 3.
No. 3 continued: "No. 1 has a great motive to kill his younger brother, but there are so many ways to kill his younger brother, he can abandon his younger brother, he can deliberately take his younger brother to a dangerous place to let his younger brother have an accident, why, do you have to kill it at home?" Why do you want to get into trouble and use such unfavorable means to get rid of the burden of your younger brother? ”
Zhang Yichi finally smiled, and there was a hint of relief at that moment: "Because he doesn't just want to get rid of his younger brother." ”
