Live Action Murder Mystery

One p.m.

Li Xiaoyu walked to the No. 103 dormitory where she lived.

Along the way, Li Xiaoyu was a little apprehensive.

Because she just had a face-to-face meeting with Gu Liang near the flower bed, Gu Liang asked her to find a time when the other players didn't see her, and meet in the 103 dormitory, saying that she had something to chat with him.

Gu Liang's expression was quite serious, so Li Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy.

But she was actually a little confused at first, and wanted to have a good chat with Yang Ye and Gu Haohao.

She thought for a long time, and felt that she could trust the two of them, so this moment passed directly.

At the door of No. 103, Li Xiaoyu knocked on the door. "It's me. Are you both there?"

Gu Liang's voice came. "come in."

As soon as Li Xiaoyu walked in, Yang Ye came over first and closed the door.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaoyu saw a few books on the table.Gu Liang was sitting next to these books.

Obviously, these books were picked out from Li Yingwen's bookshelf just now.

The titles of the books are: "Hypnosis and Subconscious Mining", "Hypnosis and Mind Control, and the Relationship between Psychotherapy", "Hypnosis and Divination"...

Undoubtedly, these books are all related to one word - hypnosis.

Gu Liang looked at Li Xiaoyu and said, "I tried hypnosis before in the real world. But in the real world, it has nothing to do with mysticism or metaphysics."

"In the setting of this script, this kind of hypnosis is quite special, and it is related to the occult. In other words, if you are well versed in the occult, you also master hypnotism."

"Last night, the real culprit must be able to control everyone's falling asleep. And I think the way he manipulated it was through the 'I'm not going to get out of class' remote control, so that the hands of the clock made certain regular sounds to guide people. sleep."

"We determined the night vigil order at 4:20 pm. At 4:20, everyone left the classroom to collect evidence and vote separately. The real culprit used this time to set up the remote control."

"Therefore, the real murderer doesn't need to be awake all night to control the remote control. He has set it up in advance, and the hands of the clock will naturally make the set action at the specified time, thereby leading people to sleep."

"Of course, I think the culprit may have prepared more than one method of hypnosis. This method just makes people sleepy and then falls into a deep sleep."

"For example, at 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and 6 o'clock when the shift is changed, he has made special settings at these three times, so that people can fall asleep to the sound of the clock unconsciously."

"This method is called ordinary hypnosis for the time being."

"However, when stealing keys and carrying out murderous actions, he at least performed a different hypnosis on Yang Ye and the deceased Gu Fuban alone. We temporarily call it deep hypnosis."

"Under ordinary hypnosis, we just fall asleep. The reason for falling asleep is related to hypnosis. But after falling asleep, our state should not be much different from falling asleep normally. We will wake up because of special movements. "

"Yang Ye hid the key in the shirt pocket under the suit, but he didn't feel it, which means that the hypnosis he received was deeper. He would fall into a complete coma during that period. He woke up later than all of us, This can be proved.”

"The same is true for the deceased. He was completely at the mercy of the real murderer. When he was killed, he didn't make a single sound... He was probably deeply hypnotized."

When Gu Liang said this, Yang Ye walked over and added: "It is also possible that before 7:50, everyone was hypnotized in a normal way. After 7:50, everyone was hypnotized deeply. This During the period, when the real murderer killed people, stole keys, etc., no one heard about it."

"Well, it's possible. But anyway—"

Gu Liang looked at Li Xiaoyu with a serious expression, "The situation is not good for you now. Because only your clue points to 'hypnosis'. Maybe we are not completely correct in the details...but you are very suspicious now."

"At this point, players are better at playing this game. They may come up with hypnotic ideas later than Yang Ye and I, but they won't be too late."

"It's really not me." Li Xiaoyu frowned, "For example... the first deceased, how to explain Zhao Xuexue's death?"

Gu Liang: "At the beginning, we thought that the shot put champion was the most direct clue to Meng Yuwen. But when I and other players thought of the setting of 'hypnosis', they would naturally have this kind of brain hole-you Asked Zhao Mathematics to the flower bed, hypnotized him, and then beat him to death with a brick."

"The things you use are also very simple. A shaking watch, flowers and plants...anything that looks ordinary can be used as a prop by you."

Li Xiaoyu was actually a little anxious when she heard this.

But based on her trust in Yang Ye and Gu Liang, she didn't panic.

This trust is not only in the character, but also in the intelligence of the two people.

At this time, Li Xiaoyu could only tell the truth about what she had learned. "I'm really not a murderer. But now my memory does have some problems. I don't know my description, can you understand it. Let me try to say it."

"I voted yesterday. I didn't vote for Meng Yuwen. I voted for Zhu Physics. I'm not the murderer. I didn't kill Zhao Mathematics."

"As for the memory of last night's vigil, I'm actually a bit confused. But I remember one thing, I did steal Teacher Yang's key. I have a picture of myself standing up in front of Teacher Yang and stealing the key in my mind .I still remember that Squad Leader Gu seems to be leaning on his shoulder. I have to be careful not to wake them both up."

"But I definitely didn't kill anyone. I don't remember what happened afterwards, such as whether I opened the doors and windows and went to the second floor to release Meng Yuwen. I have no memory at all."

"Actually, I thought about telling this matter directly at the beginning. But during the focused discussion in the morning, that Wu Shengsheng directly accused two murderers, and the two murderers were conspiring to commit the crime, so I dare not say it. "

"I have played this game all the way, and you have helped me a lot. I dare to tell you the truth."

"But I really feel that I'm not the murderer."

When Li Xiaoyu said this, she looked at Gu Liang and Yang Ye nervously, but the serious expressions on their faces faded quickly.

Of course, Gu Liang still has a poker face, he usually has no expression, but his eyes are much softer.

On the side, Yang Ye smiled, which made people feel quite relieved.

"It's okay. Sit down. Drink some water, and let's analyze slowly together."

After Gu Liang said this, Li Xiaoyu sat down opposite him.

As for the position next to Gu Liang, of course it was occupied by Yang Ye.

Li Xiaoyu swallowed, feeling a little dazed. "What... what's going on?"

Yang Ye explained: "When Gu Lianggang and I thought about the possible existence of hypnosis, and when you didn't go to the library on the first day, and you might go to the equipment room to see the manual of the remote control, we really doubted you very much. But we quickly react to--"

"In the first case, Zhao Xuexue died. Judging from the murder method, Meng Yuwen, who can throw shot puts, is very suspicious."

"In the second case, Vice-Ban Gu died. From the point of view of the method, the keyword changed from 'shot put' to 'hypnosis'. You are the most suspected person."

"Looking at it from another angle, every piece of evidence pointing to the 'suspect' is too obvious. If none of these 'suspects' are the 'true culprit', it can only mean that the real culprit is deliberately setting the blame."

Pausing for a moment, Yang Ye turned to Li Xiaoyu: "I did what Gu Liang and I did just now. Firstly, I really meant to test you a little bit; secondly, the main reason is to let you get used to it in advance. Because if you wait a little longer, you will definitely be caught by other people." Players, ask questions with a more serious attitude. You have to be steady, don't panic, and think of countermeasures."

"Then... what do you think after hearing what I said?" Li Xiaoyu asked, "I dare to tell you two about this, but I dare not tell anyone else."

Gu Liang held up two books: "Here are two more books, "Hypnosis and Behavior Control" and "Hypnosis, Dream Weaving, and Psychological Suggestion". The first book is about directly manipulating people's behavior through hypnosis. The second book , which contains the preparation of dreams through hypnosis, people are dreaming, and the dreams are controlled by the hypnotist, and the dreamer will mistakenly believe that the dream has actually happened.”

"Therefore, if you are not the real murderer, there are two possibilities for your current memory. First, you are under hypnosis, and you made the act of stealing the key, and your behavior is controlled by the hypnotist. Second , You didn’t steal the key, it was just a dream imposed by the hypnotist, but you took the dream as reality.”

"Of course, I think the first possibility is bigger. After all, if something happens, everyone will only see you stealing the key, not the real culprit."

"in summary--"

Gu Liang finally concluded, "The incident may have happened like this. At 4:20 yesterday, during the period of evidence collection and voting, he set up the remote control and set the timing of how the hands of the clock would operate. At 2, 4, and 6 o'clock Point, the pointer hypnotizes everyone on time, so that everyone can fall asleep on time."

"At 7:50, the real culprit deeply hypnotized everyone."

"From 7:55 to 8:[-], the real murderer gave Li Yingying a special hypnosis, let Li Yingying steal the key, and completed the actions of killing and dealing with the crime scene."

After Gu Liang finished speaking, Yang Ye thought for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "But there are problems with this. First, why did the murderer kill people after 7:55?"

"Second, after the murderer chose to attack at 7:55, why didn't he just deeply hypnotize everyone at around 7:55? Do we go to sleep in the order of the vigils drawn by lot? Logically, he doesn't need to do that at all."

Li Xiaoyu thought of something, opened a book, and showed it to Yang Ye and Gu Liang. "In my story, about hypnosis, there was such a sentence. I also found the official explanation in the book, you see—"

This is a book about the basics of hypnosis, which says: "There are many ways of hypnosis, shallow hypnosis, deep hypnosis..."

"Deep-level hypnosis should be based on shallow-level hypnosis. Try shallow-level hypnosis more than 3 times. It is easier for the hypnotized person to enter deep-level hypnosis, and their spirit, behavior, and subconsciousness can be manipulated..."

"If you directly perform deep-level hypnosis without completely refraining from shallow-level hypnosis, unless the hypnotist is very experienced, it will not be easy to succeed..."

After moving away from the book, Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye. "That would explain the question you just asked."

"This problem is explained...but I still have a problem here, which I haven't figured out yet."

Gu Liang continued: "Since the death of the deputy squad, I have been wondering why the murderer would kill him."

"During our discussion yesterday afternoon, Vice-Ban Gu put forward a very good opinion. That is, when investigating the murderer, not only the rankings of the students in the exam, but also the scores should be considered. This is a serial murder case, and the serial murder case is related to It is related to the mock exam. Then, in fact, when the murderer decides the order of killing, it depends on the score and ranking."

"Don't forget, the Gu deputy class is the last one."

"We have speculated before that the murderer's exam ranking is relatively low, and the possibility of being the top three is very small. From his perspective, he can kill anyone in front of him. He chose to kill Zhao, who ranked first. Mathematics, understandable."

"If he kills for the second time, instead of killing No. 2 Li Yingwen and No. 3 me, but randomly chooses someone who ranks ahead of him, that's okay."

"But why did he kill the last Gu deputy class first?"

Yang Ye thought for a while, and said, "Besides this problem, there is another key problem—the murder weapon."

"Actually, when I first came up with the idea of ​​hypnosis, I thought about whether the real murderer had undergone deep hypnosis earlier in the morning. At that time, he stole the key and gave himself plenty of time to commit the crime. .In this way, the kitchen knife in the cafeteria is very likely to be the murder weapon."

"But judging from the description of hypnosis mentioned in this book, this possibility should not exist. Then, everyone was hypnotized after 7:55, and the murderer's series of actions only lasted 35 minutes in total."

"Since this is the case, what is the murder weapon? In 35 minutes... Complete the action of hypnotizing Li Xiaoyu alone and letting her steal the key, as well as taking the murder weapon, killing people, washing the murder weapon and returning it, and throwing the bloody cleaning cloth on the playground... ...this time is very tense."

Yang Ye glanced sideways, and suddenly found that Gu Liang's expression became serious again.

He put his hands on both sides of Gu Liang's temples and rubbed them lightly. "What did you think of again?"

"What was the murder weapon? Why was the second victim Gu Fuban? These two questions are of course crucial. But there is a bigger question behind it."

Gu Liangdao: "Actually, on the whole, my judgment remains unchanged. Who is the murderer is just a question of happiness. Qian Huahua and Zhu Physics are the most suspected."

"But if you think about it, if the real culprit is neither Meng Yuwen nor Li Xiaoyu, does this mean...he might be able to throw shot puts and learn occult science?"

"Then here comes the question - why does he have so many hidden skills?"
