That's a straight question.

Ai Yuanyuan looked at her, her suspicious eyes deepened.

"That's right, the masked ball is a couple, if you are invited, it is impossible for the other party to bring another female companion to save your face, right? Then you should be here at the same time as your male partner. ”

Liang Zhi added in a low voice: "Maybe it's Chris's girlfriend?" Chris left here to pick roses for someone he likes. ”

After being reminded by him, Ai Yuanyuan also remembered Chris's matter, and added: "Yes, and in Chris's plot retrospective, he was shocked when he saw the murderer, maybe it was because the murderer was an unbelievable person he knew, such as his female companion." ”

"If you're Chris's girlfriend, you'd normally be in this pile of corpses by now."

But she was alive and kicking now, and she couldn't explain why she had missed the twelve o'clock ball.

The evidence is even more sufficient, and she almost said that she was the murderer.

"Maybe I'm going to the bathroom, or I'm sleepy or seasick, and I don't want to go to the ball." Zhong Jiuyin's face was as it should be.

Yan Cheng looked at her expression and asked, "What did you come up with such a rogue answer on?" ”

"Based on the truth that I'm not a murderer." She casually spread her hands.

Yan Cheng asked one after another: "We have just analyzed it, maybe everyone's cards are not marked with the word murderer, whether you are a murderer or not depends on the follow-up plot development." Or, by something else, you are sure that you can't be the murderer. What is it? Personal scripts? ”

"Perhaps," she replied unobtrusively, waving her hand beside her, as if introducing the country she had laid down, "and the corpses all over the ground." ”

Yan Cheng and the others turned around and observed for two seconds, but they didn't see anything.

Zhong Jiuyin went a little deeper and instructed: "The ratio of men and women." ”

Yuan Yi immediately went to count the number of men and women on the corpses, and Ai Yuanyuan looked at her in disbelief: "You just counted?" ”

"I can see it at a glance."

Ai Yuanyuan's eyes were suspicious: "Your electronic digital signature software is fine?" ”

"What mat counts money?" She broke off this sentence with hindsight and found the key word, "Oh Chengjing, I'm really fine." ”

Ai Yuanyuan: "......"

It feels like she's talking nonsense, but she doesn't want to waste time on irrelevant nonsense.

When Yuan Yi finished counting the corpses, they were surprised to say that there were two more women than men.

Ai Yuanyuan: "Counting Chris, there's still a man missing here." ”

Isn't the bad one the murderer?

"No," Yan Cheng pointed at Liang Zhi, "Even if the chef doesn't attend the ball, the musician doesn't need a female partner, and the dancer definitely needs a partner to dance the opening dance." ”

Yuan Yi: "So the number of people is right?" But the killer apparently came out of here, and then killed Chris. The murderer wants to pick a mask with everyone, and he should be the one who attended the ball. ”

Ai Yuanyuan frowned: "Could it be that this clue is that the murderer is the one who did not attend the ball?" ”

"Everybody didn't go to the ball, so there's still no direction." Liang Zhi said.

Yan Cheng pondered for two seconds and looked at Zhong Jiuyin.

didn't greet the caller, just stared at her, stared at her until she took the initiative to speak.

Zhong Jiuyin: "What? ”

Yan Cheng: "Didn't you just say that you saw at a glance that the ratio of men to women in the corpse was wrong, which can be used to prove that you are not the murderer?" What are the specific opinions? ”

"I can't say it, I just dazzle and think that something might be wrong, so let you count them."

Yan Cheng: "... What do you mean, you don't see the ratio of men to women? ”

She was even more surprised: "I'm not sharp-eyed, how can I see it at a glance?" ”

After speaking, he met four pairs of speechless eyes.

Yuan Yi: "You reminded me of a story I heard from somewhere. ”

"The prisoner repeatedly mentioned the yard of his home to his wife, who came to visit him, and the police felt that something was wrong and thought that something was hidden underneath, so they dug it up overnight and searched it carefully, but unfortunately to no avail. When his wife visited again, the prisoner said that he could not bear her to work the floor, and that this was the last thing he could do for her. ”

Ai Yuanyuan: "... Damn image. ”

Zhong Jiuyin shrugged: "This shows the prisoner's love for his wife." ”

"That's how I realized the anger of the police." They all said in unison.

Three to one, unprovoked, she raised her hand to signal surrender.

Only Yan Cheng is reliable, and she still clings to her previous statement.

"So why are you suddenly mentioning the ratio of men to women? Something feels wrong? ”

Zhong Jiuyin changed his foot to bear the weight, squatted and knocked on the mask on the captain's face, and his every move was chivalrous.

"This. When you determine the number of men and women, you determine the number of masks. If there are two fewer males here, there should be two fewer masks, and if you count Chris, there should be one more mask. ”

"And these two masks are very special, like the marks left by the murderer. The one next to Chris was thrown in a hurry, but this one was neatly placed, and the captain's body was intact. Hey, guess what—"

"The captain was the last person to be killed here, and the mask was worn so neatly. Maybe the killer took off his mask and put it on him after killing everyone, or maybe they had the same mask, and then when the killer was chasing Chris, he heard our voices and hurriedly threw his mask at Chris. ”

"In short, the murderer should also have a mask."

"Also, judging from the particularity of the captain's corpse, the murderer should know the captain, and the captain has some kind of peculiarity to him, otherwise why would he 'value' this corpse so much?"

After Mr. Zero finished speaking, a wave of confidence swelled in her heart.

Look and listen, she is a stunning genius, her thoughts are so clear, her abilities are so outstanding, everyone's eyes of amazement and trust are focused on her.

She raised her eyes triumphantly, listening to Yuan Yi applauding and praising the venue, and waved her hand to show that she was low-key.

Then his eyes involuntarily turned over, and he happened to see Yan Cheng's complicated eyes that he hadn't concealed yet.

"How?" She raised her eyebrows comfortably, "You admire my analytical skills?" ”

Yan Cheng: "I admire your series of analyses from the perspective of the murderer. ”

Zhong Jiuyin paused for a moment.

was seen by him, the stunning killer retired to the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't hide his habits when he spoke and did things.

Blame her, too sharp, too prominent, too powerful.

"You can just compliment me on being smart," she said lightly, "I think we can find some information about the killer by looking for that mask." ”

Yan Cheng nodded and said "but" again.

"In traditional masquerade, there are five typical masks: Bauta (full face without mouth), Colombina (half face), Volto (full face stacked), Pantalone (exaggerated and witty), and Arlecchino (clown smiley), of which Colombina is worn by women and the others can be worn by both men and women. If that mask is still this scary clown face type, then we can't tell whether the murderer is male or female. ”
