Live Action Murder Mystery

Chapter 26 Painted Skin·Longevity

Yang Ye nodded. "Okay. I don't have any doubts. This way, we have almost recovered the whole truth."

The elder brother said: "I'm just speculating. He went to the rockery to get his skin. Anyway, he had to pass by the lake, so he could use the lake water to hide the evidence. I just can't think of other ideas."

"Okay. If you think of new ones, add them for me. Please call Second Senior Brother."

After a while, in the interrogation room, the second senior brother sat opposite Yang Ye.

In fact, Yang Ye could feel that the second senior brother's personality was more lively and active. For example, he couldn't sit still right now, he was writhing around on the chair, a bit like he was uncomfortable, and a bit like pure ADHD.

Yang Ye poured him a glass of water: "Don't be nervous. Everyone is playing games. I'm not really a detective."

"Hey, I know... I just couldn't help being nervous." The second senior brother said.

"Why? Are you the real murderer?"

"I'm not...I don't think I am!"

"Many people are suspicious of you now."

"Why? No, why do you suspect me? It really has nothing to do with me!"

Yang Ye smiled and didn't explain much for the time being, but asked the second senior brother: "This script is called "Painted Skin·Longevity". How much do you know about these two words?"

The second senior brother shook his head: "Longevity...maybe it means that Wang Bulao will live forever, but I don't know about Huapi."

Yang Ye stared at his face for a long while, thinking that this was a game after all, and he probably couldn't check whether there was any skin on his face.But fortunately, through the review of the case and the interrogation of the elder brother just now, he has grasped several extremely critical details.

Now, it's time to verify one of those details.

Thinking of this, Yang Ye's blood flow accelerated a little, and his palms were sweating a little.

He took a piece of paper to wipe his hands, then held the pen again, stared at the second senior brother and asked, "Then, would you mind taking off your outer shirt and letting me see what you're wearing?"

The second senior brother immediately faltered: "I...I..."

Yang Ye seemed to have guessed the reason why he concealed this matter, and immediately said: "I will not disappoint your trust."

The second senior brother was not stupid, he immediately understood what Yang Ye meant.

During the free exploration earlier, the second senior brother met Yang Ye and Gu Liang.

The second senior brother asked Yang Ye to look at the photo of the corpse, suggesting that the wound might have been caused by two people.

He didn't say it directly at that time, he just wanted to wait for Yang Ye to finish his reasoning to see if he was a dog-headed detective before deciding whether to tell the truth.Now Yang Ye's words clearly showed that he had completely received the hint from the second senior brother.

Yang Ye put down the pen in his hand, and said slowly: "If there are bloodstains on your sleeve, I can remove my doubts about you."

The second senior brother didn't quite understand what Yang Ye meant, but he hesitated for a moment before taking off his outer shirt.

Sure enough, the right cuff of his inner shirt, as well as his chest, were stained with a lot of blood, and it was splattered - in line with the blood stains formed by the right hand holding a knife to carve a person's body.

"Can you tell me now, where did your blood come from?" Yang Ye asked.

The second senior brother sat down again, exhaled and said, "I can admit that I did the carving with a knife. I didn't dare to say it before, but I was afraid that if I said it, you would immediately think that I was the murderer. I... I This script sucks."

Yang Ye asked him: "What is the original script of your script?"

"At the time of Mao, I completed the curse killing, and went to Wang Bulao's bedroom under the guise of going to the kitchen to wait for breakfast to see if he was dead. I passed by the armory and went in to choose a suitable dagger. After arriving in Wang Bulao's room , It is true that he is the only one in the room, he is not dead, but in a comatose state, he must have been drugged. I thought, if the curse didn’t kill him, then stab him to death with a knife.”

"But I changed my mind, Wang Bulao had a vendetta against me, and it was too cheap for him to let him die in a sleepless sleep. I decided to carve the word 'animal' on him. It wasn't too deep, because I didn't want to kill him right away. I imagined that when the drug wore off, he would wake up in pain, and then bleed slowly to death, tortured before he died."

"Just after I finished writing the word 'animal', I heard footsteps outside the yard. It might be a maid passing by, or Yi Meiren came back early, so I ran away quickly."

"Oh, by the way, before carving words on him with a knife, I took off my outer shirt and left only the inner shirt, because I was afraid of splashing blood. After I finished carving, I put the outer shirt on again, so that the blood stain It was left on the sleeves and chest of the inner shirt, and was covered by the outer shirt."

After the second senior brother finished speaking, Yang Ye remained silent for a long time.

His silence made people flustered, and the second senior brother hurriedly asked: "The owner of the footsteps is the real culprit. I ran in a hurry, not sure if those wounds were fatal, and I haven't had time to repair the knife myself. After me , the real culprit is coming. He may think that my wounds are not light enough to kill Wang Bulao, so he repaired the knife."

Yang Ye said: "So you mean, after you, someone picked up the knife you threw on the ground, and inserted the knife into his lung along the point above the word 'animal'. This person hates him so much that he is afraid This still won’t kill him, so cut open his abdominal artery along the bottom of the character ‘生’.”

"Yes. That's what I think." The second senior brother nodded.

Yang Ye asked again: "When you went in, what was Wang Bulao's condition? Did he wear any clothes?"

The second brother said: "No. He was topless. It's the same as the deceased. Why did you ask this?"

The second senior brother didn't quite understand why Yang Ye suddenly cared about the clothes of the deceased.

"It's okay. Just ask." Yang Ye didn't explain too much for the time being, but asked again, "When did you do this?"

"After I finished cursing at Mao, I went there immediately. I finished engraving and left...it was three quarters before Mao. I was already in the kitchen at three quarters. I did cook breakfast in the kitchen for a while, and stayed until about five quarters, bringing Go back for breakfast."

"Have you been to the rockery this morning?"

"No. The kitchen and the rockery are completely in two directions. I'm too late. Besides, why should I go to the rockery?"

"Last question. When you went, you found that Wang Bulao was not dead. Have you ever thought that maybe he is not Wang Bulao?"

"No. I thought he guessed that someone would curse him on this day, so I thought of some way to resist it in advance. I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that the opportunity must be lost, so I have to do it quickly."

"Okay, I understand."

"Do you really understand? I haven't figured it out yet. All I know is that I'm not the real murderer. Detective, you must believe me."

"Please help me to call Doctor Yu in."

When Doctor Yu walked in, Yang Ye was looking at the map with his own card.

Doctor Yu walked up to him. "Detective, did you find anything?"

Yang Ye glanced at her and asked, "Who do you think the murderer is?"

"Isn't it the second senior brother?" Doctor Yu asked back.

After saying this, seeing that Yang Ye didn't answer, Doctor Yu took a few breaths, rolled his eyes, and said, "Just now when you asked the second senior brother alone, I also discussed it with the senior senior brother outside. He put his My brain told me. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it.”

"Really? Then let me ask you..." Yang Ye narrowed his eyes, "According to his reasoning, the second senior brother left in the name of making breakfast. In fact, he was going to kill someone, but he was killed instead. After that , the murderer pretended to be him, and returned to his residence. At that time, he was carrying breakfast in his hand. How did the murderer know that he should bring breakfast back?"

"Maybe at this time every day, the senior brother and the second senior brother have to have breakfast together in the house. The murderer has been the master for so long, and he is familiar with the two apprentices, so he naturally knows about it. It happened to be breakfast at that time. The senior brother will definitely find a reason to go out and kill without telling the senior brother. The reason is most likely to go to the kitchen to get breakfast. This kind of thing, the murderer is not difficult to guess. I don’t think this is a problem at all. The main reason is that two skins are missing That's the thing, that's the key."

Yang Ye: "Okay, then I'll just ask you a few more questions."

"Okay. Just ask."

Yang Ye: "You went to see me in the morning, according to your script, because you wanted to reminisce about the old days with me, let me take into account the friendship of childhood sweethearts, and help you perjure witness, lest everyone find out that Wang Bulao was killed by a curse, and suspect you. .Right?"

Doctor Yu nodded. "Yes. I've complained to you this morning. This line in the script is very strange."

Yang Ye only said: "From the perspective of the story itself, it is reasonable for this character to do so. But from the perspective of us playing games and solving crimes, this sentence is indeed strange. But I don't think it will be written like this for no reason. You come On the way, I passed the rockery and secret road, did you meet anyone at that time?"

Doctor Yu recalled it carefully, then shook his head: "No. I haven't met anyone. There are not even maid guards near the secret road in the rockery."

Yang Ye asked: "But don't you think it's strange? According to the location on the map, your residence is a bit far from my place. When the curse is completed, on the way from your residence to my place, you will not only pass by Wang Bulao's residence, but also You will pass through the rockery, and you will walk slowly, taking about three quarters of an hour, which is a full 45 minutes. If the second brother killed someone at Wang Bulao's residence, and then went to the rockery to get a face, you should probably bump into him."

Doctor Yu was a little confused: "Then... maybe he went there after the third quarter?"

Yang Ye explained: "I think the script arranged for you to come to me for two purposes. First, to rule out the possibility of you killing someone. Second, it tells us from your perspective that no one will come to you during the three quarters of an hour." Over the rockery."

"As for the third quarter of Mao, the second senior brother is already in the kitchen. I don't think he will go to the kitchen first, carrying breakfast to kill people. He can only kill people, finish the most important thing, and then go to the kitchen to make breakfast. "

"Then... if the second senior brother has never been to the rockery, isn't there such a thing as a disguise? The more you talk about it, the more confused I become."

Doctor Yu seemed to have a terrible headache, and he lay down on the table. "But only the head of the sect knows about the secret way. Who can change the face?"

The corner of Yang Ye's mouth raised, "Everyone has fallen into a misunderstanding. Does it mean that going to the secret road to get a skin must happen during the plot?"

"Then why not?" Doctor Yu was puzzled.

Yang Yedao: "In the stage of free exploration, the real culprit found the secret path first. After entering the secret path, he knew the secret of the painted skin. He had an idea and thought that he could take the opportunity to blame other players, so he took away two face skins. Afterwards he Leave and pretend you don't know anything about the secret passage."

Doctor Yu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, stared blankly at Yang Ye, and said, "Damn it?!"
