Chapter 14 This is a detective game
"The fatal injury is so small?" Zhou Ze was taken aback.

What really led to the girl's death was not the brutal wounds that looked bloody and bloody, but an inconspicuous pinhole. The sharp contrast is confusing...

The clues he obtained directly from the corpse were very limited, only four, all of which were automatically stored in the 'clue bar' in the lower right corner of the interface.

The clues are: 'death by a pinhole', 'cut by a sharp blade', 'skin peeled off', 'death within three hours'.

Needless to say the first three clues.

As for the time of death, it is judged by the fact that the body of the deceased did not produce rigor.

Zhou Ze specifically checked the forensic medicine strategy on the Internet: "At most three hours after a person dies, the rigors will spread to the whole body." '

But after all, he was not a professional, and the situation of the deceased was also very special, so he was not 100% sure whether this clue was correct.

He keenly realized that after he finished investigating the corpse, the 18-minute detection countdown in the upper left corner passed quickly, and finally froze at 12 minutes.

"This setting... will time elapse every time you conduct an investigation?"

Once the time elapses to zero, it may mean that the investigation is over, and it is necessary to obtain as many clues as possible within the time limit.

Investigate the dead.

He cast his eyes on the middle-aged woman at the entrance of the living room.

In the process of investigating the passage of time just now, this aunt also made some moves. She tremblingly took out her phone and called the police. Many people who eat melons were attracted by her soprano voice before and stood outside the living room door. Peek in.

He flicked the joystick to select Auntie.

After clicking the dialogue, three options pop up on the screen.

[①Who are you the deceased?Why is it here? 】

[②What are you calling the police for?It is enough for me to be here, and the idlers leave quickly. (Small probability to extend the reconnaissance time)]

[③Auntie, do you want to play Gwent? (Initiate an attack)]

"Hey, the second option doesn't sound like a good person. What position and right do I have to prevent people from calling the police? If I dare to say that, I will probably be regarded as a murderer."

The corner of Zhou Ze's mouth twitched: "The meaning of the third option is unclear. Do you think I'm a witcher who doesn't work properly? And I play cards as I play. What does the attack in the brackets mean?"

Too lazy to complain, only the first option is more serious after a long time.

Knowing that the game character is his future self, of course he didn't cheat on his preferences, ignored the other two options, and chose the most valuable first one without hesitation.

The middle-aged aunt was very cooperative, and answered his question after calling the police: "I am her landlord, and I came here to collect rent today. I didn't expect it, it was..."

She stumbled, apparently still in shock.

Three more dialogue options popped up.

【①Is there anyone else in the room when you come? 】

[② Auntie, you are in good shape, are you interested in learning more about it? (puts hand to the back of her head)]

[③If you don’t come early or late, but why come at this time, I think you are a thief shouting “Stop a thief!” (Launch attack)]

"..."

He accepted it, and the second option has always been a trap.

The aunt on the game screen is not in good shape, and her waist circumference is at least [-] to [-] catties. Press F to enter the tank?
But the third option made him doubtful.

It's impossible for the conversation to be meaningless all the time. The option to "initiate an attack" appeared twice in a row. Could it be that the game was implying that this aunt who was the first to arrive at the scene of the crime was really suspected of being a murderer?
Don't forget what this game is called.

"Devil with Thousand Faces"!
Since that demon can pretend to be anyone, why can't it be this aunt?
"Anyway, if you can read the file, just hit it, if you make a mistake, it's a big deal to go back to the file and play again."

Holding the mentality that S/L Dafa is invincible, Zhou Ze pressed the third option.

[Friendly reminder: Every time an innocent person is attacked in this game, the score will permanently drop by 10 point, and every time an innocent person is killed, the score will permanently drop by 20 points. (Permanent decline cannot be eliminated after loading files.)]

"Is there such a restriction?"

World Games really didn't intend to let him pass the level easily.

That's right, if he is not prohibited from beating people casually, how can there be any brain-burning reasoning in this game?Directly brainless S/L Dafa beats up all the suspects, and then you can easily know who the enemy is.

Such a high level of punishment told him one thing.

Even if you can read the file in the game, you can't easily beat someone without evidence.

"It's not worthwhile to drop 10 points for beating one."

Zhou Ze hesitated again and again, but he still didn't dare to hit the aunt in front of him.

Even if it's not worth the gamble, he doesn't have any evidence to believe that the aunt is a thousand-faced devil. If he hits the wrong person, the game score will drop by 10 points permanently, and this game is basically hopeless for more than 100 points.

He decided to continue with the first option.

The aunt recalled: "When I came, the door was open. At that time, I wondered why she didn't close the door. Anyway, I didn't see anyone else coming in and out of this door. Then you ran over within half a minute...Young man, you are also in this building. Is it a resident of the building?"

The communication with the aunt ended here, and there was no follow-up.

"The two sentences did not ask any valuable clues."

Zhou Ze scratched the back of his head: "Did I choose the wrong way to talk, or is this game only based on clues?"

Subconsciously, he thought the dialogue was unlikely to go wrong.

It's impossible for him to prevent the aunt from calling the police and drive everyone away from the beginning, or really have a year-end friendship with the landlord aunt without struggling for 20 years, right?

After communicating with the aunt, the remaining time limit in the upper left corner was also reduced from 12 minutes to 6 minutes.

Using the last 6 minutes, he investigated several suspicious places in the living room.

Not much effective information was obtained.

The sofa was littered with women's pajamas that must have belonged to the deceased.

Considering that the deceased lived here alone, she was most likely wearing pajamas to open the door for the murderer, and the Thousand Faced Demon had a high probability of pretending to be her acquaintance.

The window was locked, and after opening it, it was found that the house was located in a high-rise building with more than ten floors. It can be concluded that the murderer is unlikely to leave through the window.

If the Demon with Thousand Faces can jump from such a height, he is really a superman. Even guns may not be able to suppress the opponent. How can he be a "weak chicken" with only 10 combat power to catch others? A 1 star game would not arrange such a strong enemy for him.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the wall clock in the living room showed 8:22. Judging from the sunlight, it could not be evening but morning.

A photo was torn into pieces on a wooden display case embedded in the wall next to the TV. After investigation, it was found that the photo was a photo of a young girl and two men of the same age. The girl's head was specially torn off.

There is an extra 'torn photo' in the 'clue' in the lower right corner of the game interface.

And the 'list of suspects' has more portraits of these two people.

Click on the list:

[The flat-headed man: It seems that he had a close relationship with the deceased. 】

[Short man: It seems that he had a close relationship with the deceased. 】

"Isn't this all nonsense? No more detailed information?"

Zhou Ze was speechless: "The two suspects don't even have names. The short guy with the crew cut is just the nickname of the "little guy."
