Live Action Murder Mystery

For a while, no one spoke.

The classroom is very quiet, only the "tick" of the clock on the blackboard can be heard.

Gu Liang raised his eyes to check the clock and found that the current time is 8:30 in the morning.

Gu Liang couldn't help frowning, feeling that there were too many weird things about this matter.

After staring at the clock for a while, Gu Liang woke up Yang Ye, and together with him, he took a rough look at the corpse.

The corpse of Deputy Gu was still warm, and the fatal injuries seemed to be visible to the naked eye—the entire chest of the school uniform was dyed red, and there was a deep wound on the left chest.

Gu Liang poked it with his fingers, the blood was still hot, it seemed that he had just died.

Before everyone locked the doors and windows last night, they searched each other.

Therefore, one thing can be basically confirmed-no one brought in sharp objects such as knives, so what is the murder weapon is the first problem everyone faces.

In addition, there is another rather weird thing - there is a chair on the podium, and the chair is covered with blood.In addition, the deceased held a pointer in his right hand and a scale in his left.

These two things were originally used as teaching tools and placed in the cabinet under the podium, but at this moment they were placed in the hands of the deceased.

It wasn't until Gu Liang picked up the tarot card next to the corpse that he understood the meaning of all this.

This tarot card is 【Justice】.

The face of the card is a goddess of justice sitting on a stone chair, holding a sword of justice in her right hand and a scale that can distinguish good from evil in her left hand.

It is conceivable that when the murderer just killed the deceased, he simulated him as the goddess of justice, let him hold a pointer instead of a sword in his right hand, and a scale in his left hand, and finally put him on a chair.

And the chair is still on the podium, so that if the deceased can really sit on the chair, it will really form the image of a "god" who is high above and despises all living beings.

It's just that the deceased was dead and couldn't actually sit on the chair, so he rolled off the chair and fell onto the podium.

And the bloody chair was left on the podium.

The rest of the players woke up one after another. Seeing this scene, they were a little shocked and a little scared.

But when it comes to this script, here are all old players.

Everyone quickly calmed down and asked Yang Ye to unlock the classroom door first, and then they all went to Room 201 on the second floor.

In classroom 201, Meng Yuwen was still sleeping.

After being woken up by everyone and told that Deputy Gu was dead, Meng Yuwen said angrily, "I have already said that I am not the murderer. You must vote for me. Look...is there an extra person dead?"

Right now, everyone was not in the mood to argue with her. They just took her to the first floor. After that, the players took the toiletries, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.

During this period, except when going to the bathroom, men and women act separately, and everyone is together at all other times.

Breakfast is basically made by everyone.

After eating, it was almost 9:10.

Since everyone discovered the body until now, the system has not made any broadcast notifications.

But everyone knows in their hearts that 5 o'clock this afternoon is the time for the second vote.

The system did not announce the new rules, which means that the rules are the same as yesterday. The system will not distinguish between free search and centralized discussion, and everything is negotiated by the players themselves.

As a matter of fact, everyone has already investigated the student dormitory, faculty dormitory and other places in detail yesterday, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find any new clues.

Therefore, after breakfast, everyone decided to first investigate classroom 101, the corridors on both sides of the classroom and the playground, and then go to classroom 102, which does not smell of blood, to have a concentrated discussion and compare the timelines of each group last night in detail.

The playground is located on the north side of the classroom, in the same direction as the cafeteria.

From the teaching building to the north, walk all the way through the huge playground, and walk for about 15 minutes to reach the cafeteria.

When we walked all the way from the cafeteria to the classroom, we found something on the side of the playground-it was a bloody cleaning cloth.

Gu Liang recognized this cleaning cloth—it had been placed under the podium before, and it had a huge area, which could be used to clean the podium tabletop, blackboard, etc.

At this time, the very large cloth was covered with blood, which was probably related to the murder.

Holding this piece of evidence, everyone searched around the classroom, but apart from this blood cloth, the players found no other clues for a while.

Whether it was the trash can in the corridor or everywhere in the bathroom, nothing useful was found.

In other words, no murder weapon was found around the crime scene.

When I came to classroom 102, it was 10 o'clock in the morning.

Yang Ye was still the first to stand on the podium to speak.

Yang Ye raised the two bunches of keys in his hand and said: "Although there are not many evidences found so far, the keys on my body are themselves evidences. You can take them and smell them to see if you can smell blood. "

Gu Liang, who was seated closest to Yang Ye, took the key first. He smelled the key first, and then took a closer look. He could see a little blood in the slit of the key.

After Gu Liang looked at the key, Li Xiaoyu beside him took the key.

Then Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but said: "Yes! There is a strong smell of blood! And there is blood in the crack of the key. This...is this key a murder weapon? It's not like that. The key can't draw such deep wounds on the dead .”

Yang Ye shook his head, and only asked Li Xiaoyu, "Do you still remember that I borrowed your lipstick last night?"

Li Xiaoyu nodded: "I remember. When you saw our girls brought lipstick, you borrowed one."

Li Xiaoyu was embarrassed to say that yesterday she thought Yang Ye was going to wipe Gu Liangliang, that he was going to tease Gu Liang and tease him.

Patting her own face, Li Xiaoyu asked again: "It's already in the girls' dormitory. We brought it here last night."

"That lipstick is colored." Yang Yedao, "In fact, before I went to bed last night, I put lipstick on the keys. Now the color of the lipstick on the keys is not visible at all. Note that it is on each key, I They all put on lipstick."

"I have two sets of keys, classrooms 101 and 201. There are 3 windows on both sides of each classroom, and the keys for each window are common, so there are 3 keys in each classroom. That is, I have a total of 6 keys in my hand. a key."

"The current situation is that the lipstick on the six keys is gone. Instead, there is a little blood and the smell of blood."

"Of course, the keys cannot be directly used as murder weapons. These keys are not long. Even if they can be inserted into the body, they should not be enough to cause death."

"So I think the murderer just stole my key. There was blood on his hands after the murder. Maybe he touched my key with bloody hands, which caused it to be stained with blood. Afterwards, the murderer may have cleaned it with a cleanser. Wipe the keys with something like a cloth, or he went to the bathroom to simply rinse the keys, and then returned the keys."

"During this process, he removed the color of the lipstick and most of the blood on the keys, but the blood in a small number of gaps could not be cleaned up."

During the process of Yang Ye making this statement, everyone checked the keys next to each other and went around in a circle. Now Gu Liang returned the key to Yang Ye.

When Yang Ye took the key from Gu Liang's hand, he hooked the back of his hand with his index finger, which made the back of Gu Liang's hand itch, like a little ant crawling across.

Gu Liang immediately raised his eyelids and glanced at him, Yang Ye slightly hooked the corners of his lips, continuing to analyze the case with a serious face.

"There are many problems in this case now. First, we are clearly divided into groups. How did the murder happen?"

"Second, I hid the key next to my body. The murderer couldn't steal the key without waking me up. So how did he do it? I wondered at first whether the murderer used drugs or something like that. , but I searched around just now, and found no relevant clues. If you want to start a second round of investigation later, I suggest that everyone focus on finding clues related to drugs."

"Third, what is the murderer's purpose for stealing the key? Is it to get the murder weapon outside, such as a knife? But there are no knives around the crime scene. The only place with knives is the back kitchen of the cafeteria. The cafeteria travels to and from the teaching building. It takes a full half an hour. If the murder weapon was the canteen knife, there is a problem now."

"When I was having breakfast just now, I confirmed with Gao Canteen that there are not too many knives in the back kitchen."

"This means that if the knife in the back kitchen of the cafeteria is the murder weapon, then the murderer's movement line is-leave the teaching building, go to the cafeteria to get the knife, return to the teaching building to kill, wash the knife and return it, and finally return to the teaching building."

"This process requires two round trips from the teaching building to the cafeteria, and it will take at least an hour. This does not include the time for him to kill."

"Theoretically, I don't think the murderer would do that. Because it would require him to risk leaving for an hour. If someone wakes up during that hour, he's exposed."

When Yang Ye was speaking, the players were taking notes with their notebooks. They were sorting out the questions Yang Ye wrote, and they were also recording their thoughts during the process.

After Yang Ye finished speaking, he saw a porcelain-white hand raised in front of him.

Yang Ye leaned over from the podium and saw Gu Liangliang sitting in the first row raising his hand.

The sun made his eyelashes golden, and his brown pupils looked extraordinarily beautiful.

As soon as Yang Ye saw Gu Liang, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise. "What do you want to say, Squad Leader Gu?"

Gu Liang stared at him, and then said: "Last night we entered the shift system from 12 o'clock. There are 12 people, 3 people in groups, a total of 4 groups, and the shift changes every 2 hours."

"The deceased's Gu deputy squad was in the fourth group, responsible for vigil from 6:8 am to 3:12 am... In fact, this is not considered a night watch, because it is already morning. In fact, the 6 people in the fourth group can watch from 6 midnight Sleep until [-] o'clock, sleep for a full [-] hours, and then be woken up by the third group."

"Gao Canteen and Ma Qingjie were in the same group as the deceased Gu Fuban. Coincidentally, we don't think there is any motive for the murder of these two people. Therefore, I especially want to hear their description of the timeline of last night. "

Yang Ye nodded to Gu Liang, then looked at Ma Qingjie and Gao Canteen. "What Squad Leader Gu said is exactly what I want to say. I believe it is also what the other players are eager to know. What happened during the 'night watch' time of your three-person group, that is, from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock? Vice-class Gu Alive at 6 o'clock?"

Ma Qingjie said: "The third group consists of Principal Li, Director Xiang, and Aunt Guan. I, Vice Ban Gu, and Gao Canteen were woken up by the three of them together. At that time, Vice Ban Gu was still alive. Yes. We didn't find anything unusual."

"The three of us didn't want to wake you up, and we didn't do anything, just sat side by side and stared blankly."

"Later... until around 7:50, I suddenly felt drowsy. When I was too sleepy, I closed my eyes. Before I closed my eyes, I saw Vice Class Gu also closed his eyes and fell asleep."

After Ma Qingjie finished speaking, Gao Cafeteria, also known as Meng Qiancheng, immediately added something. "Yes, yes, that's right. I was bored. I looked at the sun outside the playground for a while, and then I looked at the clock. When I was so sleepy, I found that Gu Fuban and Ma Qingjie fell asleep one after another. This is the same as Ma Qingjie. The description just now is the same."

"Then, I glanced at the clock subconsciously, and found that it was already 7:55. I thought, if I hold on for another 5 minutes and wake everyone up, I will make it through the night. But I was too sleepy to make it through. 5 minutes, still fell asleep."

Therefore, the time when Gu Fuban was killed was at least after 7:55.

It was 8:[-] when Gu Liang woke up and saw the dead body.

According to Yang Ye's analysis just now, the murder weapon is unlikely to be the knife of the canteen kitchen.

The rest of the players seem to have figured this out, and they couldn't help but feel a little dignified.

Meng Yuwen shrugged his shoulders, and said, "You can follow the logic of yesterday. Anyway, I can rule it out. I have been locked in classroom 201."

After a while, Wu Shengsheng suddenly spoke. "You can't completely rule it out."

Meng Yuwen looked at her in bewilderment: "Why?"

Wu Shengsheng said: "The possibility of accomplices cannot be ruled out now. The key has been stolen. What if someone steals the key and opens the lock of 201, will you be let out?"

"It's impossible for any of us to go back and forth to the cafeteria twice. But it's possible for the two of you to do it together. You go to the cafeteria and return the murder weapon, and when you come back, you throw the key out the window to your conspirator. He puts the key in the Just go to Teacher Yang, that’s all.”

Wu Shengsheng's words are not without reason.

But she undoubtedly introduced the reasoning to more complicated places. After all, if there is really a conspiracy, the case will be more complicated.

While Gu Liang frowned in deep thought, he turned his head suddenly, but unexpectedly found that Li Xiaoyu beside him had a strange expression.
