Live Action Murder Mystery

Crime scene.

The dead man was lying in a pool of blood, and there was a bloody Tarot card next to him.

The only spot of bleeding on his body was the back of his head.

And not far behind him, there was a bloody brick.

In fact, there are many bricks scattered around the flower beds.

This is left over from the flower beds repaired by the workers recently, and it hasn't been cleaned up yet.

At present, it seems that this bloody brick may be the murder weapon.

Gu Liang and Yang Ye returned to the scene of the crime, carefully inspected the body, and searched for clues around the scene.

After that, the two went to the trash cans in the public area of ​​the dormitory, the registration office, and even the campus card machine to search, but they couldn't find anything related to the murder method.

On the way, the two met Li Xiaoyu and asked about her and other people's search in various dormitories. Li Xiaoyu said that there was no particularly directional murder motive, nor did they find any clues related to the murder method.

It took the two of them a while to search the four dormitories, and the results they got were the same as Li Xiaoyu's.

In the end, the two went to the room where Aunt Guan and Qing Ma stayed.

There are no clues about Auntie's room.

As for the rest room of the horse cleaning, as she said, there are many tools in her cleaning room, including ropes, which really look exactly like the ropes that bound the hands of the deceased.

The 40-minute detective time passed quickly.

In 20 minutes, everyone should return to the classroom for the first round of discussion.

At this point, Gu Liang and Yang Ye called Li Xiaoyu to the classroom together and discussed for a while.

Yang Yedao: "So far, nothing similar to drugs has been found. There are no traces of fighting at the scene of the crime. There is no other trauma on the deceased's body, and there are no traces of scratches on the clothes."

"The only fatal injury was the severe blow to the back of the head. The only thing found so far that could be used as a murder weapon is the bloody brick."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help asking: "But how did the real murderer kill the man? It stands to reason that he should have stunned the deceased first, so that he could tie him up and then kill him with bricks. But we couldn't find anyone. drugged-"

"If there was no drug, how did the real culprit tie him up? How could there be no signs of fighting at the scene? Could it be..."

Yang Ye asked her: "What should I do? If you have any ideas, you can just say it directly."

Li Xiaoyu said: "My character, Li Yingying, has two special skills. One is that I have a particularly good memory, and the other is that I am proficient in occultism and divination. Isn't the title of this script called "Blood Tarot"?"

"Of course, the Tarot cards at the scene of death contain blood, so they can barely be called Blood Tarot cards. But judging from my story, the Blood Tarot has another meaning."

"Because I am proficient in occult science, including divination related to tarot cards, I know that blood tarot is actually a kind of black magic. A person can use his own blood to raise cards and endow them with powerful spiritual power. "

"Usually we use tarot cards for divination, and the results of divination may not be accurate."

"However, if you use blood-nourished Tarot cards for divination, the result must be very effective. Therefore, in order to achieve their own goals, many people will take risks and use blood to raise cards, so that these cards endowed with spiritual power will help them Foretell the future."

"The reason why I say they risk their lives is because raising blood cards is a dangerous thing. Because the source of the power of blood cards is the devil Satan. And Satan's power is full of resentment and is very evil. Therefore, people who raise blood cards, It is likely to be backlashed."

Li Xiaoyu explained the meaning of the Blood Tarot cards to Yang Ye and Gu Liang, and then said: "So I think, we haven't fully figured out the setting of this script at present, and I'm not sure if it will be the same as metaphysics and magic. related to the class."

"I think, although the clues given at the scene of the crime are very simple, it seems that the modus operandi is not complicated. But after thinking about it carefully, there is indeed something that doesn't make sense. If it doesn't make sense according to common sense, can we learn from black magic? perspective."

"After all, you see, there must be a reason for the body to be tied up like this..."

Gu Liang thought for a while, and finally said: "Well, black magic is a direction to consider. If you don't think about it from the perspective of magic for the time being, and just look at the scene, I actually have another idea."

"Give the deceased a drug to stun him, tie him with a rope, trap him, and then beat him to death with a brick. This is a habitual thinking."

"But we haven't found any drugs anywhere. Assuming that drugs don't exist, it seems unreasonable to tie him with a rope first and then knock on the bricks. Because the deceased Zhao Xuexue has a sound mind and body, if someone comes to tie him , he will definitely resist and fight that man."

"It is possible that Zhao Mathematics lost the fight, was tied up again, and then killed. But there was no trace of the fight at the scene, and there were no wounds left by the fight on the deceased. This should indicate that the fight did not exist."

"Then, we need to get rid of inertial thinking. The deceased may have been hit by a brick first, and then tied up after he was knocked out or directly killed."

Gu Liang made up his mind about the possible incident, and continued: "The incident may be like this - when the real murderer returned to the dormitory and passed the flower bed before, he saw bricks scattered here. In this case, the bricks gave him inspiration, and he thought that these bricks could be used by him to kill people."

"He made an appointment with the deceased, Zhao Mathematics, to meet at the flower bed at noon. When the deceased appeared, he hid somewhere with a brick in one hand and a rope in the other. When the deceased turned his back, he threw the bricks, Beat him to death, then go up and tie him up."

Li Xiaoyu was a little puzzled: "I have two questions. The first question is, shouldn't the rope be used to tie the deceased and keep him from moving so that the real murderer can hit him? Since the real murderer has already killed him, then Why do you still have to go forward and tie him up? Doing so, besides increasing the risk of being discovered, has no benefit. Think about it, I've already killed him in the dark, so why run over and tie him up?"

Gu Liang explained: "The real culprit smashed him on the back of the head from a distance, and he couldn't be sure that he was really killed at once, so he will definitely go forward to check. Therefore, he will definitely walk to the corpse. He was found when he was checked to see if he was dead. The risk is not much different from the risk of being discovered when he was kidnapped."

"As for the reason for tying him... I think it's exactly what I speculated at the beginning, imitating the crime. Xiaoyu, didn't you go to the library at noon? Did you see anything special?"

Li Xiaoyu clapped her hands. "I understand. I read a lot of newspapers at noon. Five people died in class seven last year, and it was also on the eve of the Olympiad. You mean...the serial murder case last year, someone is imitating..."

"The devil card next to the deceased Zhao Mathematics has tied slaves on it. The devil is looking at these tied slaves and grinning. The slaves are tied by iron chains, but we may not find iron chains here, so the real murderer used Rope instead..."

Li Xiaoyu recalled it for a while, and then said: "Eh? But...the five cases last year, the report did not say how the five of them died. For example, I remember that there was a person named Tao Banhua who was very similar to me. The newspaper It only said that there was a priestess' card next to her body, but it didn't say that her death had anything to do with the priestess."

Gu Liang shook his head: "No, I remember the newspaper mentioned that there was a book at the scene. Although the report did not have a specific description of the murder scene, there was a sentence saying that she might have been killed while reviewing."

Li Xiaoyu: "Oh yes, it seems there is. I didn't look that carefully."

Gu Liang said again: "Why did the report say that she was killed while reviewing? There should be books next to her body, so the reporter made such inferences. The priestess card implies wisdom, and the card is It looks like a priestess holding a scroll."

When Gu Liang said this, he looked at Yang Ye beside him, and explained further: "The dead man who looks like me is called Yuan Bancao. The blood bleeding from the back of his body is a regular circle. A circle means the moon. And at the scene of Yuan Bancao's death, there was the moon."

"There were three remaining dead last year, Jiang Zuowen, Ma Shuu, and Mu Singing. The corresponding Tarot cards are The Fool, Magician, and Star, and the corresponding crime scenes also have similar images."

Li Xiaoyu nodded: "I understand. The real culprit threw a brick and knocked Zhao Xuexue to death. After killing him, he tied him up like a slave in a Tarot card. On the one hand, it may be to lead everything to the black magic. ; On the other hand, he is imitating the crime, trying to push the suspicion to the murderer of the five cases last year."

"Then I have a second question."

Li Xiaoyu couldn't help asking, "Throwing bricks in the dark and smashing Zhao Xuexue to death is a technical job. If you miss the first hit, Zhao Xueyu will be prepared. It's very difficult for the real culprit to hit Zhao Xuexue a second time."

"When the real murderer came out of the dormitory building with the rope, he might have wrapped the rope with books. But our schoolbags are very small. If he took out all the books, he could barely fit such a thick rope. But he also had to Hide the bricks in your schoolbag?"

"One rope and one brick, I think it is the limit that a small schoolbag can hold. From this perspective, I don't think the real murderer will prepare two bricks."

"So no matter from which angle you look at it, the real culprit should have only prepared a brick. But how can he guarantee that he can succeed with one blow?"

This time, it was Yang Ye who answered Li Xiaoyu's question.

Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang and said, "When I browsed the students' information last night, I remembered that a student won the shot put competition. From the existing clues, there is no such thing as drugs, no In the case of traces of fighting, if the setting of magic and fantasy is temporarily ruled out, we can only speculate that the real culprit threw bricks and knocked him unconscious or killed him, and then tied him up."

"From this point of view, this person who is good at throwing shot puts is very suspicious."

Li Xiaoyu took the conversation: "Hey, I know her! She lives in the same dormitory as me, and her name is Meng Yuwen."

Li Xiaoyu dared to admit at the beginning that she had seen the deceased at 12:15, on her way to the library.

And Li Xiaoyu took the initiative to tell the report he saw in the library just now, which was basically the same as what Gu Liang saw.

This proves that she must have been to the library.

Furthermore, many people have been to the library last night, but they have never met each other, which means that the time for everyone to go to the library happened to be staggered.

Since the end of get out of class yesterday afternoon, that is, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, someone has been to the library—it is Meng Yuwen.

After Meng Yuwen, Wu Biology, Gu Deputy Ban, Gu Ban Zhang, and Zhu Physics went to the library respectively.

Zhu Physics left the library at 11:[-] p.m., and the library was closed.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Li Yingying went to the library last night.

She should be the library she went to at noon.

Therefore, even without considering the reason of knowing Li Xiaoyu before, judging from the clues and statements, the possibility of Li Yingying lying is very small.Well, since she went to the library at noon today, she must not be in the dormitory.

In this way, Meng Yuwen, who lives in the same dormitory with Li Yingying, has time to commit crimes and can also throw shot puts. She went to the library after class yesterday afternoon. She should be the first among all the students to see the relevant information about the five cases last year. people who reported.

Given the current limited information, Meng Yuwen is very suspicious.

According to the meaning of the system, the script of "Blood Tarot" has multiple stages of tasks.

This is actually similar to the "Folding Castle" that Gu Liang experienced.

In the first two stages of "Folding Castle", the investigation time is short and the information is limited, but correspondingly, the difficulty of the stage tasks is not high.

——Could it be that this time, the case is as simple as that time?

Gu Liang thought of something, then frowned and looked at Li Xiaoyu. "If I remember correctly, in the first three rounds of the mock exam this time, the deceased Zhao Mathematics was No.1. I was No.2. And No.[-] in the middle is you."
