The players heard the system broadcast saying that, standing in the flower bed looking at each other. +++Mobile reading visit m.mtlnovel.com
The sun was shining at noon, and everyone looked a little worried in the sun.
After a while, the broadcast continued: “It is 1:00 p.m. on July 24th. Please listen to the specific game rules of the first phase of the script “Blood Tarot” below.”
“The game no longer distinguishes between time for concentrated discussion and free exploration. Players can negotiate and decide on their own according to the actual situation.”
“At 5 o’clock this afternoon, the first round of voting will be held. Players can vote on time with their cards and do not need to enter the centralized discussion room. That is, the first stage of voting does not restrict the voting location.”
“Because Magic High School is located on a mountain, the only bridge leading to the city is damaged. The workers are rushing to repair it, but the police cannot arrive in a short time.”
“Therefore, the murderer voted by everyone will be detained in classroom 201 on the second floor of the teaching building, and will be arrested and disposed of when the police arrive.”
“But please note that if the murderer is still in custody and still has a murder (killing sha) the next day, the murderer’s suspicion value will drop and he will be released.”
“If the real murderer is found wrong, of course you have to vote again. So tomorrow, at 5 o’clock in the afternoon of July 25, the second round of voting will be held.”
“In summary, the first stage of voting on the real murderer is different from the past. The real murderer will not be taken directly by the system, but will be temporarily held in the classroom. Please work hard to find the real murderer. If you don’t find the real murderer. , The murder (killing of sha) continues, which means that you have caught the wrong person. Of course, this method can actually help you send a wrong option.”
“Hehe, everyone may die because of the wrong vote. So, in order to survive, please try to find the murderer!”
“Again, starting today, 5 o’clock in the afternoon will be the voting time. Missing voting time will be considered as abstention.”
“If you can’t find the real murderer, the first stage of the game will last for many days. Guess, when will…all of this end?”
“In the 14 roles (colors) of this script, the head teacher [Mr. Yang] is a high-paying returnee hired by the principal. He has never been to this city before and did not know any students in Magic University. Teacher Yang is responsible for leading the seven classes. When a student sprints for the Olympiad, as long as a student wins a prize, he can get rich bonuses.”
“To sum up, in the first stage of the script, the suspicion of teacher Yang (killing sha) students is very small. Therefore, the key to classroom 201 where the suspect was detained will be kept by Teacher Yang. Teacher Yang, please keep this key personally.”
“Now, the game starts, I wish you all a happy game!”
–
After the broadcast fell, someone in the crowd soon asked, “Who was the last to see the dead Zhao Shushu?”
Gu Liang heard this and said, “I saw him at 12:10 noon. I have a dormitory with him, and we live in 102. After lunch, I went back to the dormitory and said hello to him. left.”
Li Xiaoyu immediately said: “I saw him in front of the dormitory building at 12:15. He is walking outside, probably in the direction of the flower bed.”
After Gu Liang and Li Xiaoyu had finished talking, no one had ever admitted to seeing him.
Yang Ye looked at the expressions of the players, and stepped forward: “According to the system broadcast, I am a hidden detective in the first stage. This time the rules of the game are quite special. Players who are cast will not accept it directly.” (Death si) Death penalty’.”
“Then correspondingly, if you make a wrong vote, the detective will not be punished. Therefore, even though the system does not express it, I can basically assume the role of a detective.”
“We only have 4 hours to solve the case. Time is tight. Anyway, the teaching building is very close. I think we can go back to the classroom and talk about our respective timelines.”
“For the time being, we can set the time of death of the deceased between 12:15 and 12:55 noon, between the time when the aunt finds him. Everyone will focus on the timeline during the noon period.”
“After briefly talking about the timeline, let’s start the search for evidence. First search for an hour. After an hour, we will meet in the classroom and have a simple discussion before deciding the direction of the next reasoning. What do you think?”
The players had no objection to this, and they all headed towards the classroom.
This time, it was not just students who sat in the classroom. Aunt Guan who was in charge of the dormitory, Ma Jianyi who was cleaning the sanitation, as well as Principal Li, Director Xiang, and Gao Canteen also sat in the classroom.
On the corridor before entering the classroom, Gu Liang pulled Yang Ye’s sleeve.
So Yang Ye deliberately slowed down and asked Gu Liang in a low voice: “What’s wrong?”
Gu Liang stopped, pulled Yang Ye to the side of the corridor, and whispered: “Except for the timeline during noon, I will ask them about the timeline last night later. After listening to everyone’s speeches, I will come Tell me what I think.”
Yang Ye nodded, and then went into the classroom with Gu Liang.
Gu Liang returned to his seat.
Yang Ye is still standing on the podium, but this time he is not a teacher, but a detective.
After the players spoke in turn, Yang Ye also used chalk to record everything on the blackboard simultaneously.
Yang Ye first asked the students’ timeline.
Between 11:30 and 12:00 in the morning, everyone’s timeline is basically the same-after class ends at 11:30, everyone leaves the classroom to eat in the cafeteria, and the time for each to leave the cafeteria after the meal is slightly different.
The timeline after leaving the cafeteria after lunch, according to the dormitory classification, 102 lived in monitor Gu and the deceased Zhao Shushu.
Squad leader Gu returned to the dormitory at 12 o’clock after eating, and then woke up (sleeping Shui) until 12:50, tidying up, and when he was about to go to class, he was told that someone had died.
The two boys who live in 101 are Qian Chemistry and Gu deputy class.
Qian Chemical said that he has been sleeping in the dormitory (sleeping in Shui). He had no (sleeping in Shui) on the simulation test score last night (fuck cao). Today, he found that the scores were reasonable, so he was able to (sleep in Shui) for noon.
Gu deputy class said that he did not return to the dormitory at noon, and went straight back to the classroom because his mock test results were not ideal. He was reflecting on the wrong questions and reflecting on the whole noon.
There are two girls living in 103, Li Yingwen and Meng Yuwen.
Li Yingying is Li Xiaoyu. She is almost in the dormitory back at 12 o’clock. After a short rest, after washing her face, she went out to the library, that is, on the way to the library. She met at 12:15. The deceased Zhao Mathematics.
Meng Yuwen said he had been resting in the dormitory. She was not too good (sleeping in Shui) last night, and had to sleep at noon.
104 still live with two girls, Zhu Physical and Wu Biological.
Both of them were sleeping in the dormitory (Shui Shui), but according to their statement, they (Shui Shui) were extremely dead, and they were awakened by the aunt’s voice. During this period, if someone goes out (killing sha) and comes back after (killing sha), they may be completely unaware.
In this way, every student has no real alibi.
That is, everyone has a chance to start.
After asking the students, Yang Ye asked aunt Guan. “Have you been in the hall of the dormitory building at noon today? Have you seen the students going in and out.”
Aunt Guan replied: “Basically the same as what they said. After everyone went back to the house…I saw Zhao Mathematics and Li Yingwen come out. Therefore, if the real murderer (killed sha), either he had never returned to the dormitory and claimed to be himself The old assistant class who has been staying in the classroom to reflect on the wrong questions. Or—”
“Either they jumped out from the window, and then came back. Everyone lives on the first floor, and the height of the building does not constitute an obstacle.”
After Aunt Guan finished speaking, Yang Ye took the opportunity to ask Ma Clean, who is in charge of the sanitation of the dormitory.
Ma Qingjian said that she had been resting in the rest room at noon. Her rest room is next to the No. 104 dormitory where the girls live.
However, Ma Jianyi mentioned a rather crucial message.
She said: “I didn’t go to eat until 12 o’clock. The canteen must first ensure the food for these faculty and students. After they have finished eating, we can eat.”
“When I came back to rest after eating, it was already 12:30.”
“There are a lot of cleaning tools in my rest room. Isn’t the deceased’s hand tied back? I think the rope that tied him is like in my room. I can go back and check it later.”
“Therefore, before the real murderer (sha), he should have been to my room first.”
Yang Ye asked her, “Where did you put the key to your house? Anyone can enter?”
Ma Jianli said, “My key is hidden under the fire hydrant.”
After asking the two employees related to the dormitory, Yang Ye asked Gao Canteen.
The timeline of the high canteen is very simple. He cooks and serves everyone. After everyone has finished eating, he will wash the dishes and clean up the canteen.
He was busy all day long.
Finally, Principal Li and Director Xiang, they held an oath meeting for the students together in the morning, and they went to the cafeteria for a meal at noon. After dinner, the two went back to the principal’s office together to discuss business affairs for noon.
As a result, after the noon timeline was temporarily confirmed, Yang Ye asked everyone, “Could you just say, after class yesterday, what did everyone do?”
–
Players quickly finished talking about the timeline. It took almost 30 minutes, plus the time lost in the flower beds and on the road. It is now 1:50. It is almost 3 hours before the vote at 5 pm. .
When the players left the teaching building, they all acted immediately.
Some went to check the corpse first, and some went to the dormitories of various students.
Before everyone dispersed, Director Xiang handed the key of 201 upstairs to Yang Ye. “This key was with me before, and you will keep it later.”
After leaving the classroom, Gu Liang and Yang Ye went to the flower bed first, planning to check the corpse before exploring.
However, the pace of the two people was slow, deliberately behind the others, so that the discussion between the two of them would not be heard.
On the way, Gu Liang said: “There are tarot cards with blood around the corpse. They have a lot in common with the information I got from the library last night. Last year (fa fa), there were five similar cases. Tarot. There are actually two possibilities.”
“First, the murderer of those five people (killing sha) back then is also the murderer of (killing sha) Zhao Mathematics today. He is continuing the story of last year and continuing his serial (killing sha) plan.”
“The second possibility is that the murderer of (killing sha) Zhao Mathematics is not the murderer of the five people (killing sha) back then. This is an imitating crime.”
“Let’s talk about the first possibility first.”
“I can’t see the (guanguan) department between the two students for the time being. In fact, in my personal story, there are no memories and clues related to the previous students. Suppose the other students in our class are like me . So, in fact, the students in our class have no chance of (killing sha) against the previous classmates.”
“So in this case, the two faculty members have the greatest possibility of (sexual xing). The students who were in (killing sha) the Olympiad last year are still the same this year.”
“But there is only one murderer, and there is no information clue about the joint cooperation case. The principal and the director have been together at noon today. So they can be ruled out.”
“In this way, the first possibility that the real culprit last year and this year was the same person is actually excluded temporarily.”
“Therefore, this year’s tarot card crime… is likely to be an imitation crime.”
Yang Ye nodded: “Understood. That’s why you asked me to ask them about their timeline last night.”
“Yes.” Gu Liang said, “Let’s talk about the other ordinary workers, the high canteen who cooks, the aunt who manages the dormitory, and the horse cleaning…I don’t see any (killing sha) opportunities for the three of them for the time being. . Unless you can find other clues from their room in a while. So—”
Gu Liang concluded: Killing sha) Zhao Mathematics’s real murderer, I tend to think that it is one of the students in our class. As for the (killing sha) machine, it is related to the Olympiad competition. After all, the Olympics competition is all of us now The only important thing in this story.”
After a short pause, Gu Liang took out his notebook and took a look, and continued: “In fact, after listening to the timeline just now, I can basically exclude the Gu deputy class. He read the wrong questions in the classroom all the time at noon and never returned to the bedroom. Then. In fact, the possibility of him committing a crime (sexual xing) is very small.”
“The rope on the deceased was very thick, and everyone’s backpacks were actually very small. The heavy textbooks were all placed on fixed seats in the classroom. I don’t think the real murderer had come to class with the rope on his back in the morning. There is a rope in the schoolbag, and the rope must be full of the schoolbag, so when he opens the schoolbag, it is easy to be seen by the same table and the like.”
“Therefore, stealing the rope can basically be born at noon, which is a moment before the murderer (sha).”
“So the real murderer will rush back to the bedroom at noon.”
“In this case, the real murderer first went back to the dormitory, and then he finished by jumping the window (killing sha), and then came back through the window, creating an illusion that he had never been out since he returned to the dormitory.”
“And this illusion is to be witnessed by Aunt Guan who has been staying at the registration office in the lobby.”
“But the Gu deputy squad directly said that he has never returned to the dormitory. Then, from his perspective, he has no sense to create this illusion.”
“There is no need for him to secretly return to the dormitory from the window to steal the rope, then leave from the window, creating the illusion that he has never returned to the dormitory. Because he has never returned to the dormitory, it means that he has the opportunity to (kill sha) people. .”
Yang Ye nodded: “Agree. So now you can exclude the principal and director. Cleaner, aunt, and cafeteria are not included as suspects for the time being. Of the 8 students, you exclude, the deceased himself excludes, Li Xiaoyu doesn’t seem to resemble him, so I exclude it The Gu deputy squad, then the most suspected, there are only 4 people left.”
Gu Liang frowned, “Going back to imitating crimes. The premise of being able to imitate crimes is because I saw the 5 cases last year, so I just asked you to ask them about their timeline last night. I want to know, except for me. Besides, who else might have gone to the library and saw last year’s newspaper.”
Yang Ye recalled it, and concluded: “The class lasted at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Meng Yuwen was the first library to go to. She said that she felt that she did not do well in the exam and wanted to go to the reference book. The Gu assistant class followed closely behind. He went at 6 o’clock. Finally, Zhu Physics. You went to the library from 8 to 9:30. Zhu Physics went at 10 in the evening.”
“The rest of them haven’t been there. They have other timelines, such as Qian Chemical’s visit to Director Xiang last night.”
Gu Liang: “People who have been to the library are very suspected. But there is also a possibility that the real murderer concealed the information. He guessed why we asked the timeline last night. So he also lied on it. Anyway, this The time to return to the case is too tight—”
Listening to Gu Liang’s tone, Yang Ye couldn’t help stopping, and turned his head to look at Gu Liang.
Gu Liang’s expression was extremely serious, his lips were pressed tightly, and his forehead was extremely tight.
Looking at his body again, his shoulders are tight, forming stiff lines.
——He seems to be a little too nervous.
Upon seeing this, Yang Ye immediately took Gu Liang’s hand and held it tightly. The other hand stretched out and pressed Gu Liang’s eyebrows a few times. After rubbing it a few times, he said in relief: “Cool, don’t be too nervous Go. Relax.”
Gu Liang let out a breath, the folds between his brows loosened slightly.
“Well, I know, you said… if you are too nervous, it is easy to fall into thinking errors. I just–“
Before he finished speaking, Gu Liang frowned again.
In the end, he looked at Yang Ye’s eyes and said what was in his heart: “This time you must survive to the end. If you are the real murderer, I have to let you win so that you can get all the gold coins. If you are a good person, I also want you to win. You are one gold coin short. You must win the gold coin, and then…then you can go home.”
“Yang Ye, you promise me that you have to win anyway, okay?”
Yang Ye’s eyes sank, but he did not immediately agree to Gu Liang.
There are always some worries in his heart.
Gu Liang continued to look at his eyes and shook his hand back.
The sun was not hot in the afternoon today, and Gu Liang’s voice seemed very soft.
He stepped forward a few steps, placing his head on Yang Ye’s shoulder, and his lips were close to Yang Ye’s ear.
“Yang Ye, you know a little bit about the situation in my home. I will tell you more about it now.”
“My mortgage has not yet been repaid. If I am lying in the hospital and I am in a vegetative state, I must have high medical expenses every day. Of course I have a deposit. In that case, the company may still give me money out of humanitarianism. It’s one month’s basic salary. But it’s not easy to say later.”
“If the doctor says that the day I wake up is uncertain, I will definitely have no salary to repay the mortgage. After all, the company is not a philanthropist. The house I bought is in a good location, and I need to repay 10,000 per month. My monthly salary After tax, it’s almost 25,000, and the deposit is only around 500,000 after the down payment and renovation.”
“If the bank knows my situation and finds that my deposit is not enough to offset the outstanding mortgage, it will sell my property.”
“What I am worried about is my father. My house was bought early, and the market value is estimated to be 9 million. A part of the down payment for my house was left by my mother. It was originally the house we looked at together, but My mother passed away prematurely. And part of my mother’s money came from the sale of the old house. Part of the funds for the old house was paid by my dad a long time ago.”
“He has been greedy for the new house that my mother and I bought, saying that the house has gained so much value, but the original capital has his share. We should give him a part of the money as his investment income. For this, he has found I’ve been around many times. Think about it, now I’m unconscious, what will he do?”
“When I bought this house, the market value was more than 3 million yuan. Now if the bank sells it, it can sell for 9 million yuan. The loan and interest payable that I have not paid off add up to more than 2 million yuan. Then it will be nearly 7 million yuan more.”
“It stands to reason that this part of the money is enough for my medical expenses. But my father must think of some crooked ways to get this part of the money. After that, he will not leave the money to me for my continued treatment.”
“So… you have to go back as soon as possible. Then you can live. You help me stare at my father and pay for medical expenses if necessary. I can live.”
At this time, Yang Ye basically couldn’t refute Gu Liang.
I can’t bear Gu Liang in the game anymore, worrying that he is not by his side and that he will be in danger in the game… But intellectually, Yang Ye can only think that he must go back before worrying about his safety in the game. Reality helps him.
After all, ensuring that Gu Liang in reality is alive is the prerequisite for him to truly wake up and live well in reality.
During the treatment, his (body shen) experienced the slightest error, and that was the end of the game.
After a while, Gu Liang clenched Yang Ye’s hand even more tightly. “Yang Ye, promise me to deal with this game well. You need to win gold coins.”
Yang Ye finally stretched out his arm and embraced Gu Liang tightly.
His voice was deep and dumb, but he finally said that sentence. “Okay. I see. I promise you.”
Gu Liang closed his eyes, finally relieved.
But one thing is that he has not told Yang Ye in fact.
——That is the “Forget River Water” mentioned by Wang Kaifa in the script of “Withered Bones”.
Those who leave the game will drink Wangchuan water.
That way, after they wake up, they won’t remember the system and the game, and of course they won’t remember the people here and what they have experienced.
Gu Liang knew that if Yang Ye had forgotten herself, she would naturally not be able to help herself.
Gu Liang explained his situation in such detail, of course, only to persuade Yang Ye to go back, rather than really expecting him to go back to help him stare at his father, or help himself to pay for medical expenses if necessary.
Gu Liang certainly didn’t want Yang Ye to forget himself.
But he even wanted Yang Ye to live well.
This is actually the real reason why he must want to stay with Yang Ye last night and hug him to sleep (Shui).
Every night spent in this script may be the last night two people can be together.
