Live Action Murder Mystery

Inside the cave, the sound of "rustling" kept ringing.

That was the sound of the old man beside the stone platform grinding the white slurry.

"Are you making these human skin masks?"

"What is the function of these skins?"

"Why don't you answer me?"

Doctor Yu asked a lot, but the old man didn't say a word, just bowed his head and did the work at hand.

Yang Ye glanced at Gu Liang and Doctor Yu before walking to the end of the cave. "Here is a monument."

Gu Liang looked at him and asked, "What's written on the stele?"

Yang Ye looked at the stone tablet and read the words on it: "The Secret Record of the Xiaoyao School. Wang Bulao asked the painter to make a human skin mask. The painter usually walks around the Xiaoyao School as a servant, and he will tell everyone he has seen. made from the skin of a human being."

"The Painted Skin Master is highly skilled and loyal to his duties. Once the master takes away a mask, he will immediately make a new one, just in case the master needs it."

"Ah, no wonder." Doctor Yu sighed.

"No wonder why?" Gu Liang asked.

Doctor Yu said: "There is a Jianghu story in my script. I didn't think it was important before, so I didn't tell it. It's like this. After I decided to avenge Wang Bulao, I kept asking about what he did. The script says, I After investigation, a strange thing was discovered."

"The Xiaoyao Sect is the number one sect in the world. Many descendants of aristocratic families will send their children to practice. But the strange thing is that these children seem to have been brainwashed by the Xiaoyao Sect. Sometimes they say they are going home to visit relatives, but when they leave, they secretly take Take the secret books and treasures at home. The worst thing is the Qingcheng faction. The wife of the leader sent his younger brother to the Xiaoyao faction to be a disciple of a foreign family. When the younger brother returned to the Qingcheng faction one time, he not only stole the martial arts secret books, but also killed many People, it seems that they have completely forgotten that they were originally from the Qingcheng faction."

"The script said that after I found out about these things, I was determined to kill Wang Bulao because I wanted to eliminate harm for the people. Only now do I know..."

Yang Ye took Doctor Yu's words. "Now you know that those aristocratic disciples dealt with their own family not because they were brainwashed by the Xiaoyao Sect, but because they were all disguised by Wang Bulao wearing a mask. The painter will create the masks of everyone who came to the Xiaoyao Sect .So, he helped Wang Bulao prepare even my monk's face and Doctor Yu's face."

After a long while, Gu Liang frowned and said, "The counterfeiter needs to play Wang Bulao, so he wears Wang Bulao's face all the year round. But the text on the stone wall just now shows that once there is a piece of face missing here, the painter will immediately redo it." Put Zhang back on the wall in case the headmaster needs it. For example, in case the fake face is damaged, he can come here to get a new one at any time in order to avoid exposure. Then, there should be a Wang Bulao here. The skin is right, why is it missing?"

"Missing Wang Bulao's face?" Yang Ye immediately asked, "Who else is missing?"

Gu Liang said: "Second Senior Brother. His face is gone too."

As soon as Gu Liang finished speaking, Yang Ye, Senior Senior Brother, and Doctor Yu immediately surrounded him.

They read all the masks and the names on the corresponding grooves on the stone wall, and confirmed that among the six players, the second senior brother and Wang Bulao's masks were indeed missing.

Doctor Yu wanted to understand something, and suddenly jumped up. "Could it be that the second senior brother died? The current second senior brother was pretended by Wang Bulao? They have already exchanged identities, and Wang Bulao is the murderer?!"

Yang Ye frowned: "If the real Wang Bulao is alive, he will already be cursed to death by you, how can he continue to pretend to be the second brother and follow us to solve the case?"

At this moment, there is no room for everyone to think about it, the cards of the four people all sent vibration reminders.

Immediately afterwards, a reminder came from the broadcast: "There are still three and ten minutes before the end of the free investigation. Please pay attention to the time."

5 minute later.

The four dispersed again.Doctor Yu and the eldest brother went to other places to investigate.

Gu Liang and Yang Ye looked at all the places they should look, and instead of continuing to search for clues, they went to the artificial lake next to the rockery.

The breeze is coming, and the water waves are not happy.

Yang Ye and Gu Liang sat side by side on the shore, taking a moment of respite from the intense exploration.

Yang Ye exhaled a few breaths, and looked sideways at Gu Liang. "What do you think?"

Gu Liang said: "Our previous analysis was not wrong. There must be a counterfeit. And this counterfeit is likely to be the junior. Because it is impossible for a clue to the junior to give us for no reason. Actually, I am in the housekeeper's room. After seeing those things, I had a brain hole."

"Tell me carefully?"

"The record of the steward said—on one occasion, my younger brother and Wang Bulao worked together. When I came back, there was only Wang Bulao alone, and my younger brother died as a guest in another country. I was thinking, maybe at that time, Wang Bulao who came back , is already a junior brother."

"But the steward said that Wang Bu always changed his temperament after seven years of seclusion. When he first came back, he hadn't changed his temperament yet."

"It's possible that when Junior Brother first came back, he was afraid that everyone would suspect him, so he imitated Wang Bulao's behavior. After seven years of seclusion alone, it is possible for his temperament to change, so he didn't continue to pretend after leaving the seclusion."

Yang Ye nodded after hearing this. "Reasonable. So, how do you explain the skinny thing?"

Gu Liang said: "What Doctor Yu said just now is half correct. The deceased is indeed the real second senior brother. As for the second senior brother who is investigating the case with us now, it is a counterfeit, that is, the younger brother. This mysterious little brother , I used to pretend to be Wang Bulao, and now I pretend to be the second senior brother."

Yang Ye narrowed his eyes. "Little brother and second brother, when did they switch identities and why? Why did the little brother kill the second brother? If you think about it this way, how is the story going to work? There is no clue pointing to these plots."

After a long while, Gu Liang said calmly: "Their identities were not exchanged in the past, it is only possible that they exchanged today."

"The second senior brother wanted to kill Wang Bulao. He was afraid that the curse would not kill anyone, so he went to Wang Bulao's bedroom to make up his sword. Unexpectedly, he was killed by the junior brother who played the role of Wang Bulao. In order to deceive the world, the junior brother put on the face of the second senior brother , appeared in front of us disguised as the second senior brother, and even investigated the case with us."

Gu Liang threw a stone into the lake.

Circles of ripples dispersed towards the surroundings, and Gu Liang slowly restored the development of the matter in his mind.

On the ninth day of September, at [-] o'clock in the morning.

The elder brother used the excuse of going to the toilet to kill Wang Bulao with a sword and an earthen curse in the yard.

At the same time, the second senior brother cursed and killed Wang Bulao with a pen and paper in the room.

Afterwards, the second senior brother made an excuse to go to the kitchen, but actually went to Wang Bulao's bedroom.

He knew that Beauty Yi was having a private meeting with Master Hui at this moment, and only Wang Bulao was in the room.

Therefore, without attracting anyone's attention, he can check whether Wang Bulao has been cursed to death by himself.

Before going to Wang Bulao's bedroom, the second senior brother went to the arsenal first, and took a handy knife in case of emergencies.

He did not use his own sword, but took the knife from the armory, naturally, because that way he could avoid suspicion by having the weapon come from a public area accessible to all.

After coming to Wang Bulao's bedroom, the second senior brother found that Wang Bulao was not dead, he just fell into a coma due to drugs.

But why is this so?

This curse kill is supposed to be foolproof, why is Wang Bulao not dead?

——Could it be that the person in front of you is not Wang Bulao?

After having this idea, the second senior brother walked up to Wang Bulao to examine carefully, and finally found traces of a human skin mask on his face.

The second senior brother understood in his heart - this king is not always fake.

This Wang Bubo is most likely impersonated by the junior brother.

The little junior had originally drank the drug and fell into a coma.

But when the second senior brother was studying his face, the effect of the drug passed, and he suddenly woke up.

When Gu Liang talked about this, Yang Ye said, "So, the killing of the second senior brother by the junior brother was a passionate murder. When he woke up, he saw the second senior brother broke his secret, and it happened that he still had a knife in his hand. Take the knife and kill him."

Gu Liang thought for a while, then shook his head. "Not exactly. Junior brother is very kind. He probably wouldn't take the initiative to kill people, but would choose to have a good talk with second senior brother and ask him to help conceal the secret. It's just..."

"Second Senior Brother doesn't think so. He doesn't understand Junior Brother's personality, and he is afraid that Junior Brother will kill him because his secret is exposed, so he preemptively strikes. It's just that he has never beaten Junior Brother. Junior Brother killed him, maybe just Self-defense."

Yang Ye: "How do you explain the writing on the corpse?"

Gu Liang was silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, Gu Liang said: "Little brother stabbed second brother twice, one in the lung and one in the abdominal artery. In order to cover up the crime, he went to the secret road to take two pieces of skin. He took Wang Bulao's skin, Put it on the second senior brother's body, making everyone think that it was Wang Bulao who died. And he himself put on the second senior brother's mask to pretend to be the second senior brother."

"At this time, he needs to find a reason for Wang Bulao's death. He followed the existing two swords and added the word 'animal' in order to disguise all this as a vendetta. Wang Bulao has many enemies. Come on, there will be many suspects, not necessarily the second senior brother he pretends to be."

But Yang Ye asked again: "If this is the case, the younger brother doesn't know the timeline of the second senior brother in the morning. When we asked him, why was he able to tell the timeline correctly?"

Gu Liang: "He is a junior brother of the Xiaoyao Sect, so he naturally knows [Draw a circle to curse you], and also knows that it can take effect at today's time. The second senior brother directly used the pen and paper to draw the curse, those pieces of paper, little The younger brother may have seen it. In addition, he was with the senior brother all the time in the morning, and he may have used the words of the senior brother. In addition, he knows the living habits of the two senior brothers very well. Combined, he can guess the time of the second senior brother Line, not difficult."

After a long while, Gu Liang stood up and looked at Yang Ye, but saw that his expression was a little dignified, and he did not feel relaxed after discovering the truth.

Gu Liang asked him: "At present, it seems that only the younger brother, the fake Wang Bulao, knows about the secret way. So the face can only be taken away by him. What do you think is wrong?"
