Qi Yan didn't think that the copy would design them with a failed plot content such as "Heavenly Divine Soldiers".

Qi Zhen even leaned to the fact that Ms. Lola was suicidal.

But this speculation has a deadliest bruise, humans can barely strangle themselves on their own, and there is no trace of a similar mechanism in this apartment.

What's going on?

[Time remaining: 11 minutes]

"The results are in!" Lu Zhi clicked on the result of his prop teleporting back, and his face that was originally expecting suddenly sank, "Huh? … The person who bought the kitchen knife was none other than Ms. Laura herself. ”

Chapter 126: Highway Circus (20)

The person who bought this kitchen knife was actually Miss Laura herself?!

This result was unexpected by everyone, and the apartment at the scene of the murder fell silent.

"It's... How so? I can't explain it... Why did Miss Lola buy a kitchen knife? Her apartment doesn't have a kitchen, so she doesn't need a kitchen knife. ”

"Is it possible that Miss Laura was threatened by someone and wants to buy a knife to defend herself?"

"I don't think this inference is valid, if the world background allows for guns, if I am Miss Laura, I would prefer small props or pistols for self-defense... Kitchen knives are completely inconvenient to carry around. ”

"That's true, but if it weren't for self-defense, I really don't understand why Miss Laura bought a kitchen knife......

The clue of the kitchen knife was broken like this, and time passed minute by minute, and many players began to complain that the level design was unreasonable, and such a difficult criminal investigation problem would appear in just twenty minutes.

But the crowd is not desperate, as the player who searches the coffee table finds a lot of information about Miss Laura's identity.

"Look, these cut-out newspapers are all about Miss Laura."

"I also read some fan letters, and judging from the content of the letters, Miss Laura is really popular."

Qi Yan quickly read through the information that had been summarized, and quickly understood Miss Laura's general professional experience.

Miss Lola was originally just a circus casual worker, no one knows what happened to her, all that attention is paid to Miss Laura's legend of overnight from an ordinary casual worker to a top circus dancer, and major media have reported her miraculous success, calling her "the acrobatic dance queen Lola who came out of the slum", red high heels, smart dancing posture and a burning red curly hair are her trademarks.

Acrobatic dance queen Lola was once the most watched star of the circus.

But what happened to this acrobatic dance queen that led to the skinny appearance she is now? Is it her almost pathological harshness towards her figure? Or is there some other reason.

"Red High Heels" -

Qi Ji refocused his attention on the information hidden in the report.

The red dancing shoes mentioned in the report reminded him of the Christmas card in the shoebox: "You will enter the best circus performance, you will become the most visible great dancer, this is your life, these dancing shoes are very suitable for you, it belongs to you, please wear them and start your dance career again!"

Dancing shoes are also mentioned on the greeting card......

Judging from the wording of the greeting card, Miss Lola, who received the card at that time, had not yet become the "Queen of Acrobatic Dance", so Miss Laura's legendary experience... Does it have anything to do with this greeting card?

Qi Yan also noticed that the triangular blood stains on the velvet quilt sheet were a bit like bloody footprints left by high heels.

But they had searched almost the entire apartment, but they couldn't find the high heels mentioned in the newspaper or in the greeting card.

Could it be that the dancing shoes will "flee the scene" on their own?

At this moment, the players who searched the bathroom made a new discovery, they dug out the drugs that Miss Laura took daily from the hidden cabinet behind the mirror, and soon some players recognized these small blue and white tablets-

"These are psychotropic drugs, tranquilizers and sleeping pills, and it seems that Miss Lola is very mentally troubled..."

"Judging from the dosage and type of medication she takes, it may be severe depression and schizophrenia."

"Sure enough, Miss Lola is thin like this... There's also a mental factor, right? ”

"Miss Lola probably committed suicide because of the mental problems caused by the great stress of living in her life..."

But in this way, isn't our reasoning back to square one? Miss Lola is mechanically asphyxiating... With the posture of her corpse, it is unlikely that she was suicidal. ”

"It's not unlikely, I don't think it's possible."

"So how do you explain the clue in front of you? Whether it's Miss Laura's mental problems, or the buyer of kitchen knives... Almost all of the clues point to Miss Laura's suicide..."

"Impossible is impossible, there must be something missing in us."

The unbelieving player had already begun to use props to check on Miss Laura's relationships, and was nearly devastated when he learned that she had three lovers and two performance rivals, as well as a number of suitors and opponents.

Miss Laura's network of relationships is so intricate that he can't investigate them all in just twenty minutes, and there are no clear clues left in this murder apartment, he has no idea where to start in the face of such an intricate network of relationships!

While the player was scratching his head irritably, Qi Jiu, who was in the shape of a child, suddenly looked at the entrance with a daze, Qin Rang noticed his gaze, and also squatted down to look at Xiao Qi Jiu's line of sight.

Through the hidden door, when he saw the hidden camera outside the apartment door, his eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately pointed to the porch excitedly and said to everyone: "Eh! There, there is a surveillance camera in the common area. ”

Some apartments have a public surveillance camera on the porch, and when they entered the apartment, they were attracted by the bare feet in the entrance and did not notice the public camera on the porch.

Moreover, the position of the camera is just the blind spot of the adult's field of vision, and it is difficult for people who are hovering in the dead line of time to notice this detail.

Their scouting is already in trouble at this point, and the camera's new discoveries have reinvigorated hope for the languishing player.

"I'll do a scout." Time was pressing, and Lu Zhi immediately found a prop that could read the surveillance video.

Although the surveillance is installed on the porch of the apartment, there is no way to photograph the inside of the apartment, but it is very important to find the truth about Lola's death by obtaining information about the visitors to the apartment at the time of the murder!

For a moment, everyone was so nervous that they held their breath, because the discovery of this monitoring is likely to become a breakthrough in the current predicament!

Lu Zhi's props are very efficient, and can quickly and accurately filter out the valid information in the video.

In about three minutes, Lu Zhi used props to sift through all the 72 hours of video, and his eyes that were full of anticipation dimmed again.

"This..."Lu Zhi re-screened the camera, his brows were furrowed, and his tone was very solemn, "For 72 hours, only Ms. Laura was in and out of the apartment, and at about 11:20 last night, she appeared in the surveillance camera for the last time, and after that, only we came in, and no one else visited. ”

Qin Rang was stunned for a moment before he cautiously spoke: "The possibility of Ms. Lola's suicide is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"I've checked, there are no windows in this apartment, the bathroom vents can't even be passed through by small children, so to speak, there is no other entrance and exit except the door."

"There is another possibility, that the killer was already hiding in the apartment before the video began."

"Well, that's a way of thinking."

"No kidding, if that's the case, the killer will try to escape after killing someone, but now there is no one else in the surveillance except Miss Laura and us."

"What if he's still hiding in the apartment?"

"We have seventeen pairs of eyes, we can't just watch him run away from the apartment, can we?"

"I suddenly had an idea...", one of the players said suddenly, cautiously, "you say, the one who killed Miss Lola will be among us?" ”

The crowd looked at him strangely, and the player hurriedly explained, "I mean, could there be a player who has been given a different role in the mission, and his mission is to kill Miss Laura and escape our detection..."

"Tsk, who do you think is the most likely?" Another player dismisses this assumption.

"My thoughts... Like the person who opened the apartment door first..."The player glanced at Lu Zhi in a panic, then winced and looked away, explaining, "It's just an idea... Not against anyone..."

Lu Zhi: "......" This is not aimed at anyone?

Just when everyone was speculating, the system sounded again-

[As long as you guess the right direction, the system will send you clues for the second stage, please hurry up]

[Time remaining: 7 minutes]

"Good guy, the system actually distributes clues in stages, in just twenty minutes... That's disgusting, isn't it? ”

"This also shows from the side that our speculation about Lola's death, 'suicide' and 'homicide' are inaccurate, so we didn't unlock the clues of the second stage."

"It's all to blame on that unlucky guy for drawing such a difficult layer!" The incompetent and furious players began to blame Qin Rang for drawing the "Magician" card.

Time is getting tighter and shorter, and the players at the murder scene are like ants on a hot pot, anxious but helpless, and some are just angry.

Seeing that the clueless guesses of the players had made the reconnaissance slide in an increasingly outrageous direction, Xiao Qijiu already had his own guess in his heart.

Although it is still a speculation with insufficient evidence.

Xiao Qizhen: "Judging from the surveillance records and the previous clues, the murderer who killed Laura should not be 'someone else'." ”

Qin Rang: "It's not someone else, what do you mean?" Do you also think Miss Laura committed suicide? ”

Who knew that Qi Yan shook his head again: "That's not necessarily. ”

Qin Rang was completely stunned: "It's not someone else, it's not herself, is there any other possibility?" ”

Xiao Qiji: "The murderer is not necessarily a person, am I right?" System teacher. ”

After all, the "dancing shoes" mentioned many times in this room are probably the key clues.

At this moment, the system suddenly made a "ding dong" sound-

[Congratulations, since your inference is in line with the development of the case, the system will unlock the second stage item for you: Ms. Laura's Diary]

At the same time, a diary appears on a blood-stained velvet pillow.

The players can't wait to open the diary, Miss Laura doesn't seem to be a diary person, the diary is very thin and doesn't contain much -

"November 27, cloudy. Today I was lucky enough to meet the famous aerial performer Mr. Roman, who had always been in a hurry to come and go and talk to me while he was smoking today, and he asked me a strange question in a casual tone, he said: "Dear lady, do you know where the aerial performer most aspires to be?" ”

I was busy cleaning up the venue after the performance, and I wasn't ready to answer the question, so I just said casually: "Of course, it's a higher place where you can get more praise and honor, and the high-altitude performers are angels walking in the sky!" ”

I wanted to praise Mr. Roman, because he was very good, but who knew that he smiled and shook his head: "Ma'am, you are wrong, the high-altitude performers are not angels, because they have no wings, and they yearn for a place where they will not fall." ”

He's humorous, isn't he? I know he's joking with me, after all, what high-altitude performer wouldn't want to stand on the highest point in the world and proudly receive praise and applause from the world? The only place where you will not fall will be lost to the ground of the people."

"December 24, snow. I received a strange gift, a pair of red heeled dancing shoes, which I don't think was secretly given by my suitor, more of a prank than a gift, a prank that made my heart flutter... I love the content of the Christmas card so much, should I really dance? Does anyone really think so? Put on these beautiful dancing shoes and become the most dazzling acrobatic dance performer... But I know I don't have the talent, and I don't have the age to allow it..."

"February 22nd, snow. I don't want to jump anymore, I'm so tired, I can't stop, damn damn it! What should I do? I thought the curse was just a joke! I didn't think it would be like this, I can't stop... My life is ruined!"

At this point, Miss Laura's diary handwriting is sloppy, but it penetrates the back of the paper.

It is believed that she was tormented by extreme madness and fear in her heart.

"March 15th, rain. I saw Mr. Roman again, and he said hello to me, and then there was silence, and he smoked in silence, but I knew that what he wanted to say to me burned in silence, and I knew that he longed for a place where he would not fall, because we could "fall" to the stage at any moment!"

"March 27, rain. I tried all sorts of things and failed! Still failed! I've decided! I had no choice... I'm going to cut off my cursed feet with a kitchen knife! Right! I should have done it a long time ago!"

At this point, the contents of the diary were cut off.

The players fell silent in shock.

"Chop off your feet with a kitchen knife... Isn't that right? ”

"But what about the curse mentioned in the diary?"

[Time remaining: 3 minutes]
