Secret Dice

"What's the doubt?" Tie Jingang asked.

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Have you noticed that when we were talking to the bride, in less than half an hour, she cried no less than ten times, and her makeup was a little stained..."

"Is there anything special about this?" Hou Song frowned and asked, "For a girl from an ordinary family, if she encounters something like this on her wedding night and has to be buried with her deceased husband two days later, is it strange that she can maintain a normal mood?"

"I mean, after so many twitches in such a short time, how long do you think she will have to cry from last night to now?" Luo Jun asked with a smile.

"What does this have to do with anything?" Tie Jingang and Hou Song were even more confused. Liu Si's eyes lit up: "Yes, since she cried so many times, why was her makeup still so bad when we first entered the house?" What about completeness?”

"Senior Sister Liu is still very observant!" Luo Jun pointed at Big Thumb: "Either she was still in the mood to touch up her makeup after such a big thing happened; or, this bride has hardly cried since last night. …”

"Uh..." After hearing Luo Jun's words, the three of them were stunned for a moment: "You mean, the bride is the murderer?"

"I can't be 100% sure." Luo Jun said: "But at least it means that she doesn't care too much about this matter. The so-called weakness and pitifulness are all staged. Even if she is not the murderer, she is probably related to the murderer."

"But even if she participated in the assassination, she would have to be buried with the great witch after his death. How could she be so calm?" Hou Song shook his head: "This doesn't make sense..."

"Maybe there is a way to escape?" Tie Jingang analyzed: "But there are so many masters among the people in southern Xinjiang. Now that they are controlled, how can it be so easy to escape?"

"This is what I can't figure out." Luo Jun analyzed: "If this girl A Li has a way to escape, why bother to stay and wait to be buried with her? Isn't it better to just run away after killing someone? You have to know the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber , no one will disturb Da Wu’s good deeds. After she kills someone, as long as she doesn’t make any noise, she has at least one night to run away. Why does she cause trouble in the city and trap herself here? "

"Indeed, it's unreasonable..." Tie Jingang and Liu Si nodded.

"So tomorrow, I plan to focus on this widow." Luo Jun said with a smile: "Calling the fifth elder then, we can't use violence in the southern territory. He will always have a way to make her talk."

"Then what if the Fifth Elder can't ask?" Liu Si asked worriedly.

"Then find the evidence that makes her have to admit it!" Luo Jun stretched out: "Don't worry, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. There is always a way."

Looking at the boy's confident back, Hou Song, Tie Jingang and Liu Si felt a little more at ease for some reason. Although he has the lowest level and the weakest strength, for some reason, he always gives people the feeling that he can solve any trouble...

As soon as they returned to the Bainamen branch, other people gathered around. They were very surprised to see Master Hou returning. While cheering, they all asked about the progress of the matter.

A few people briefly told everyone: "In short, it is now certain that the murderer is not on our side of the Central Plains, but the people in southern Xinjiang do not agree. Unless we can find conclusive evidence or catch the real murderer, it will be difficult to give up." ...and we, Bainamen, took on this difficult task.”

"How can we provide evidence? Isn't it always the one who advocates and the one who provides evidence..."

"This is [Martial Arts], can you make sense with the people from southern Xinjiang?"

"It's too late, isn't it? He will be buried the day after tomorrow, and all the suspects will have to be poisoned? At least there will be a few days of grace."

"Who says it's not..."

"Let me tell you, let's not worry about Yunzhou City... Master Hou is back, so it doesn't matter whether the case is solved or not."

"That's right! We were also studying it at home. We were just planning to use the Creation Technique to create a dummy and replace Master Hou! I didn't expect you to come back on your own!"

"Dummy?" Hou Song was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said with a smile: "You can really think about it... to create lifelike human beings, it requires a very advanced creation technique. And once the creatures created by the creation technique, It dissipates after being fatally injured, not even the body is left behind, and even a fool can tell that something is wrong..."

The crowd's discussion suddenly made Luo Jun's eyes light up and he looked at Hou Song: "Wait, uncle, what did you say?"

Hou Song was stunned when he was asked: "I said... the people created by the Creation Technique will dissipate after being fatally injured, leaving no body behind..."

"That's it!" A smile appeared on Luo Jun's face: "Uncle, do you still remember that when we checked the window at the crime scene, there was no trace of the murderer's clothing?"

Hou Song nodded: "Captain Zhang's theory at the time was that maybe the murderer's clothes were made of special materials and were tough and wear-resistant, so there were no traces left... Oh, you mean..."

Luo Jun nodded and said: "It would make sense if the murderer everyone saw was actually a dummy created by the Creation Technique!"

"Because it is a dummy, even if there is something left behind, it will eventually dissipate; because it is a dummy, no one can catch the trace of the murderer because it disappears without a trace; because it is a dummy, the curse does not exist. It works... and [Martial Arts] are almost all practitioners of the martial arts sect, and those of the creative sect are extremely rare, so no one suspects that the murderer is a dummy!"

"It makes sense!" Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Tie Jingang said: "Then it seems that the bride's suspicion is getting bigger! As long as she is in the house all the time, it is more convenient to control the dummy to commit murder!"

Luo Jun nodded, then frowned: "But this still doesn't explain why she didn't run away... There are still doubts..."

"More than that." Hou Song also shook his head: "Based on my understanding of the curse of Southern Xinjiang, if it is a dummy created by the Creation Technique, then the curse will still affect the caster. After all, the dummy has no thoughts. Yes, the real murderer is the master who manipulated it to commit the crime! So this still doesn’t explain why the bride shows no signs of being cursed.”

"This is already a very important breakthrough!" Tie Jingang said excitedly: "Tell the fifth elder about this tomorrow, he will have his own way to verify it!"

Luo Jun nodded: "By the way, Uncle Hou, can you help me arrange a single room tonight?" As he said that, he shook the pile of lists and information in his hand: "I may have to stay up all night to analyze these. thing."

"No problem!" Hou Song agreed: "There are a lot of vacant rooms here. I will go and clean one for you. But don't be too tired. I have already come back. If the case can be solved, I will solve it. If I can't, I will solve it." It doesn’t matter, don’t ruin your body just for that little reward.”

"Don't worry, uncle, I have my own sense of discretion." Luo Jun said with a smile.

On the other side, Li Xinyu greeted Tie Jinggang: "By the way, Uncle Tie, the sect has received a reply..."

"Take me to see..." Tie Jingang and Hou Song immediately followed Li Xinyu to the main building.

The message replied by the sect was divided into two parts. The first part was about the situation in Shannan Town.

The sect has sent an investigation team to Shannan Town to investigate. So far, it has been determined that it is an empty city. The source of the virus should be Lao Xu, the secret sentry who was planted in the town before. According to some clues left by Lao Xu, it is speculated that the virus was probably obtained from Gong Shiyue. It's not time to open the door yet. When the door opens next month, the sect will report this news to the main world and let them step up the interrogation of Gong Shiyue.

At the same time, the sect has also contacted Qingfeng Village and stepped up the search near Shannan Town to prevent any zombies from slipping through the network and spreading the infection. But in general, the transmission efficiency of the Eternal Virus is not high, especially in the [Martial Arts] world with sparse population and inconvenient transportation, there is basically no need to worry about its spread. The sect asked them to focus on their tasks and not worry too much about the virus.

Seeing that the sect had a way to deal with it, Tie Jingang was relieved.

As for the second part, it was about Hou Song's arrest. The headquarters sent two props, namely an invisibility charm and a straw man.

Not to mention the invisibility talisman, Luo Jun had obtained it before, and the hiding effect was very overbearing. As for this stand-in, it is also a rare consumable. The effect is that after use, it can create a dummy image that perfectly simulates itself. The dummy lasts for up to three days, during which it is completely controlled by the main body, and will remain even if it dies. A normal corpse will not dissipate until time expires.

With these two things, it is basically easy to bypass the Governor's Mansion and secretly rescue Hou Song. The sect's intention is also very clear. It is best if the grievances can be cleared. If not, Hou Song must at least be allowed to live.

However, these two things seemed to be useless, and it would be troublesome to send them back, so Hou Song stayed.

As for Luo Jun, when he came to the cleaned up single room, he took out the lists and information and read them one by one.

In the past, Luo Jun would probably not be able to read the densely packed words in these large books, but now, with the blessing of various attributes, his memory, concentration and reading speed have been greatly improved, and these materials can be read in ten lines at a glance. Be clear.

After reading it, he had to sigh with emotion, this great wizard Wu Jida is indeed not a good thing...

Those guests were just that. After all, they were all his friends and there was basically nothing to worry about... But looking at the more than 20 suspects, they basically had a deep hatred.

Either he took over other people's wives, or occupied other people's properties, and even killed people in the street for trivial matters...

But the most common thing is to seize other people's daughters and then torture them to death, leaving the old father with no way to appeal. He is simply worse than an animal!

These are only those who have been screened and considered by the fifth elders to be capable of revenge on Ukeda. If we include those poor people who are unable to resist at all, the number of victims may have increased several times!

Luo Jun originally thought that this guy was only so arrogant towards the people of the Central Plains, and was not such a thing to his own people. How could such a beast be allowed to be a great witch and the leader of the people from the southern border of Yunzhou? It seems that this guy has a strong background...

Seeing such a bastard, Luo Jun didn't want to catch the real murderer!

However, for the sake of peace in the southern border of the Central Plains, for the benefit of Bainamen, and by the way, for the sake of my little experience, I still have to look for it...

After reading the information, it was already getting late. Luo Jun leaned on the bed and took a nap. He didn't open his eyes until midnight.

The number of dice has been refreshed.

We can start to verify the real culprit.

Luo Jun took apart all the lists and spread them out on the floor. There were thousands of people and hundreds of pages, almost filling the whole room.

Then he took out a copper plate, pressed it with his thumb, and activated the secret dice.

"Let the coin fall on the name of the real murderer!"

"Use intermediate point correction!"

It must be turned around, it must be turned around...

Luo Jun prayed in his heart, and finally, two pairs of dice appeared in front of his eyes, and they began to spin!

Done! This shows that the real culprit is indeed among these people!

As the dice settle, one pair shows 84 and one pair shows 37.

Luo Jun felt a little regretful, and finally chose 84 points.

"Ding, the event difficulty is 100 points, the final points are 84+15 points, the event failed!"

With a list of thousands of people, finding the real culprit must be extremely difficult, and it’s almost possible to succeed!

But it doesn't matter, as long as people are here, it will be easy to handle.

Luo Jun doesn't plan to choose among thousands of people. He now speculates that the most suspected ones are the more than 20 suspects identified by the Fifth Elder, and a bride, A Li. Twenty-three people choose one, and the success rate is higher.

He took out a pen and paper and copied down the names of these people, cut them into small cards, shuffled them, and activated the secret dice again.

"Pull out the murderer's name!"

"Ding, this event is an inevitable event and cannot be determined. The number of dice is reduced by one."

"What?!"

Luo Jun was stunned. He was not among these people?

That's it for the others, not the bride A Li who has many doubts about her?

This was a bit unexpected... He thought for a while, looked at the lists spread out on the floor, and finally put away the guest list, leaving only the list of people from Luo Yue.

In addition to the bride and the suspects, because of the toxins detected on the great witch, the most suspicious person was the Luo Yue people. If he was not among the more than 20 people, then it was very likely that he was one of these people.

There are nearly three thousand Luoyue people living in southern Xinjiang, which is the largest number. He took out the copper plate again.

"Let the coin fall on the name of the real murderer!"

"Ding, this event is an inevitable event and cannot be determined. The number of dice is reduced by one."

? ! !

The result of the dice was completely beyond Luo Jun's expectations!

The entire list was included in the roll, and the dice rolled, proving that the real murderer was indeed on the list.

But when the dice were rolled against the list of the most suspected bride, suspects, and Luo Yue people, the dice indicated that it was an inevitable event, indicating that the real culprit was not among these people...

Then there is only one possibility, the real murderer is among the list of remaining guests and servants.

There are seven or eight hundred people in these lists. If you roll a dice, it will definitely be a hundred points of difficulty!

There are three dice rolls left and two intermediate corrections left... Roughly calculated, the probability of identifying the murderer should be about half... But if all fail, then today's dice rolls have been used up...

Luo Jun thought about it, but in the end he didn't use it easily.

Tomorrow is the day when the great witch is buried. If there is no progress in the case today, it is estimated that the people of Southern Xinjiang will take away the suspects including Master Hou in the evening... After midnight, even if the number of dice is refreshed, there may not be a chance...

But there are three times left, how to use them?

Luo Jun sat on the bed and thought for a while, then finally opened the window and jumped out when no one was paying attention. Then he nimbly climbed over the courtyard wall and headed towards the area where the southern Xinjiang people lived under the cover of night.
