Live Action Murder Mystery

At 10:[-], with insulin in his body, Gu Liang went downstairs an hour early and saw someone sitting carelessly on the sofa in the living room.

It was Yang Ye.

There were some "clinking" sounds from the kitchen, as well as the smell of food.

It looks like someone is cooking.

Gu Liang didn't say a word, Yang Ye waved to him: "The maid is cooking in the kitchen. You're hungry, do you want to steal something?"

This is blatant teasing.

This person clearly has the words "I know you are going to poison" written all over his eyes.

—Is he really a detective?

Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye indifferently. "It's not time for me to act yet. I'll come down early to see the situation."

Gu Liang answered so honestly because he could see that Yang Ye was sitting in the living room and had no intention of leaving.

Here you can see not only the upstairs corridor, but also who goes in and out of the kitchen, which is a very favorable place to observe.

Then, at 11:30, if he poisons himself according to the script, he will definitely see it.

Gu Liang recalled for a while, the original words in his script were "You passed by the kitchen and found no one, so..."

No one in the kitchen doesn't mean no one in the living room watched him go to the kitchen.

Probably other people's scripts have similar expressions, so Yang Ye's behavior is not considered a violation.

Trash script.not serious.

Gu Liang glanced at Yang Ye again: "The system didn't judge you for violating the rules?"

Yang Ye said: "No. Most of you have to pass through the kitchen for poisoning or something. I guess many of you will go to the kitchen, so I observe here. At present, as long as I don't go into the kitchen to see what you have done, I won't It's a violation of the script. Sure enough, I'm fine."

Gu Liang thought for a moment, then stepped forward with his long legs and sat down on the sofa.

Although the two were sitting on the same sofa, they occupied both ends of the sofa and were far apart.

After a while, Gu Liang turned his head and asked Yang Ye again: "Is your behavior not considered stepping on the line? Taking advantage of loopholes?"

"It doesn't seem to count. At least I didn't hear the broadcast that I violated the line. It was you who planned to destroy the evidence and was discovered by the system. Everyone should have heard it."

At the end, Yang Ye stared at him and added: "You have to be careful. Be careful that everyone votes against you."

Gu Liang: "So you really are a detective."

Yang Ye: "If I were a detective, do you think someone would not think about it and kill me?"

Gu Liang: "If you are a detective, I will always follow you."

Yang Ye: "Protect me?"

After a moment of silence, Gu Liang said: "I just want to follow you secretly and keep observing. In case you have some key clues and a murderer really comes to silence you, I don't care if you die or not. I have found the murderer."

Yang Ye: "..."

As the suspect, the detective who was always watching everyone's timeline, Gu Liang seemed to be in a good mood, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Yang Ye could tell that Gu Liang usually had a poker face, he was unsmiling and mean-spirited, which made it hard for people to get close to him.

But when he smiled, it was different immediately.

Some brilliance was scattered in his brown pupils, like shattered ice cubes colliding in a Coke to relieve summer heat.

The smile on the corner of his mouth was like spreading a layer of cream on the Coke, it was sweet and soft, and looked very gentle.

Yang Ye was staring at Gu Liang's smile, his expression froze for a moment, and then he heard him ask: "By the way, I have a question that I don't want to understand. Your character also has murderous intentions for Boss Bai, how did you become a detective?"

Yang Ye said: "Didn't you hear in the morning that I asked my son Bai to call my stepmother. I am indeed going to marry Boss Bai soon."

Gu Liang didn't understand: "Why?"

Yang Ye: "I was not raped by him, neither in the script nor in the script. In the script, I am a vain scumbag. I was with Boss Bai for money. I lied to you, lied that Being raped by him, and saying that I was forced to be with him, I just didn't want to make myself appear too skittish."

Oh, what a godlike script.

Gu Liang tapped his index finger on the sofa, complaining silently.

Yang Ye sighed. "I didn't expect that a casual lie from me would make you want to kill him. It seems that you really love me. It's a pity, all I love is money."

Gu Liang: "..."

——The one in front of you is very involved in the drama?

Afterwards, Gu Liang collapsed on the sofa, began to open his eyes again, and sat motionless like a mountain.

Yang Ye looked at him, pondered for a while, and guessed that he had been struck by him.

Thinking of this, Yang Ye felt that Gu Liang seemed unapproachable on the surface, but he might be quite amusing.

So after a while, Yang Ye looked at him: "It seems a bit boring."

"Oh." Gu Liang picked up a pair of poker on the coffee table and looked at Yang Ye, "Why don't you come to play cards?"

Yang Ye patted his thigh. "Come on. Which one to play?"

Gu Liang: "Let's compare the size."

Yang Ye glanced down inadvertently, and saw Gu Liang's hand holding the poker. His fingers were long and slender, with well-defined joints. The back of his hand was whiter than porcelain, with faint blue veins floating on it, a bit like the blue and white flowers on porcelain.

As for the red string on his wrist, there is a gorgeousness that goes against his own temperament, making people unable to bear to take a second look.

Yang Ye suddenly smiled and asked, "What's the size?"

I suspect you are driving.

But I have no proof.

Gu Liang raised his eyelids to glance at Yang Ye, raised the poker in his hand, and said in a calm tone, "Of course it's poker. You draw one, I draw one, and then compare the size."

Yang Yexin said this is not boring?

What Yang Ye said was: "This game is quite simple."

Gu Liang nodded calmly: "It's that simple. Solving the case is already very complicated, playing cards can be simpler."

Yang Ye said it was boring, but his body was very honest, and he played with Gu Liang to compare the size.

So the two happily played the size comparison for 20 minutes.

During this period, Maid Liu came out of the kitchen, greeted Gu Liang and Yang Ye, and then went straight through the living room to water the flowers on the balcony.

The balcony is semi-open and quite large, but because it is full of flowers and plants, it seems that there are not many places to step down.

Maid Liu is holding a kettle and spraying from left to right. Under the twilight, the splashed mist reflects colorful neon lights, and finally falls on the fresh petals, which is quite lifelike.

Gu Liang stared at the maid for a long time, but he was obviously not admiring her watering the flowers, but observing her movements.

After a while, Gu Liang looked away and turned to look at the kitchen.

While the maid was gone, no one came to the kitchen.

This excellent place for poisoning was temporarily vacant.

Until 10:50, someone finally came down from the second floor.

He is an older man, who looks older than Boss Bai, but his head is still not bald.

Seeing two people in the living room, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then glanced in the direction of the kitchen, he hesitated even more.

Immediately afterwards, he sat directly on the stairs, buried his face in his palm, and looked desperate.

This person is Brother Bai.

Among the six characters in this game, Gu Liang has basically greeted all the characters except the deceased Bai Boss, except for this Bai brother.

Brother Bai's expression was very depressed, Gu Liang looked at him, but it was rare for him to take the initiative to speak: "Are you Brother Bai?"

Yang Ye was shuffling the cards with his head down, when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Liang. "Why do you call someone brother casually? Why don't you call me brother?"

Gu Liang: "..."

At the stairway, Brother Bai sighed, but he didn't seem to intend to say anything at all.

He didn't do anything, after a while, his shoulders shook, and he started to cry.

The clock is approaching 11 o'clock.

The broadcast suddenly remembered: "Warning! Warning! Brother Bai didn't arrive at the specified place on time, and he will be punished for violating the rules! Please go to the place specified in the script immediately, and act according to the script!"

"No...no...in reality, I am also his brother. I am his own brother. I will not kill him! I can't do it! I can't do it! It's not true...it's all fake... I'm dreaming!"

Brother Bai's spirit has obviously broken down.

Gu Liang frowned.Yang Ye also became serious and stopped making any jokes.

After a while, the clock reached 11 o'clock.

Two men in black appeared and forcibly took away Brother Bai.

At the same time, another man in black appeared and took something to the kitchen.

Broadcast: "Report the emergency situation now. If Brother Bai fails to act according to the script, he will be punished. The NPC will act as an extra to complete the tasks that should be done within the specified time."

Yang Ye and Gu Liang looked at each other silently, and they both saw some seriousness in each other's eyes.

Now, they don't care about size at all.

Ten minutes later, at 10:11, Brother Bai came back.

If he was just on the verge of collapse just now, he is no different from a walking dead now.

His hair was messy, there were a few bloodstains on his face, his eyes were cloudy, and his face was gray.

The back of his hand was covered in blood, and his nails were scarlet.

These injuries should have been scratched by himself.

Other than that, there were no other injuries on his body that were caused by external forces.

Why he caught himself like this, and what terrible things happened in that short 10 minutes, no one knows.

The man in black dragged Brother Bai all the way through the living room, and then led him to the room on the second floor.

Yang Ye watched the whole process in silence, then looked sideways at Gu Liang.

Gu Liang still had no expression on his face, but Yang Ye noticed that the cards in his hand had been folded and deformed by him—his hand was holding the cards very hard, and the knuckles were almost transparent white.

Yang Ye asked him, "Is it almost time for you to act?"

After a while, Gu Liang glanced at the clock in the living room, nodded, but did not speak.

Yang Ye glanced at him, and finally said: "Go. If you don't do it, they will let the man in black do it for you. They are always the ones who kill, not you."

"You are not a sinner. You are a victim."

When Yang Ye said this, Gu Liang finally looked back at him, and there seemed to be some emotion in his usually indifferent eyes.

Yang Ye said again: "We are all victims, and only by living can we find the truth."

After Gu Liang heard this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth for some reason.

But Gu Liang didn't say anything, and quickly got up and left.

11:25.Gu Liang came to the kitchen on time.

The chicken soup was placed in a crock pot and was simmering over a low heat, bubbling "gurgling".

At exactly 11:30, Gu Liang put on gloves, opened the lid of the crock, put 3mg of insulin in, poured the remaining insulin in the glass bottle into the sink and washed it away, and put the empty glass bottle directly on the cutting board.

The kitchen is considered a public area. At that time, even if everyone sees an empty medicine bottle here, no one can prove that the bottle was brought by him, Gu Liang.

At 11:40, Gu Liang returned to the room on the second floor.

The paper with instructions on insulin has the words "Lawyer Zhang" on it. Of course, it cannot be thrown in the public area like an empty medicine bottle.

So, after returning to the room, Gu Liang carefully folded the paper with instructions on insulin into a long thin strip, and stuffed it into the gap between Simmons and the bed board.

The last thing to deal with is the insulin kit.

Gu Liang took a look and found that the medicine box was about the same thickness as playing cards, so he tore the box into pieces, folded them into the size of playing cards, and stuffed them into the playing card box, mixing them with other cards.

In this way, there will be a few more playing cards, which cannot be put back into the original box.

Gu Liang's original plan was to put the poker box directly in the living room.

As for the extra poker cards, he planned to put them on his body first, and then find an opportunity to throw them anywhere when searching for evidence. Maybe he can take the opportunity to blame other players.

But Gu Liang thought about it, and in the end he just casually placed the poker box on the table.

He simply threw the extra cards in the trash can in the bedroom.

After finishing all this, Gu Liang sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Gu Liang didn't bother to keep hiding the evidence because he suddenly figured out a truth.

Evidence cannot be destroyed, only hidden.

This regulation of the system actually implies a meaning - it is very difficult not to find evidence.

This villa is not big. If there is an evidence collection stage and everyone uses a carpet search, no matter how deep the evidence is hidden, it can basically be found out. It's just a matter of time.

Even if it is the evidence that can show the method of killing that is placed in the public area, in the end, everyone can find the owner of the evidence through discussion and investigation.

After all, under normal circumstances, especially in such a simple script, it is impossible for a person to use multiple killing methods. In the case that poison A has already been used to poison, poison B will not be used again.

Therefore, if the real murderer tried his best to hide the evidence, he would probably fall into the trap set by the system.

In the end, who is the murderer depends on everyone's timeline.

Therefore, the real murderer has to focus on fabricating the timeline, which is the real key to victory.

Having said that, Gu Liang felt that his timeline was too simple, and the possibility of being the real murderer was actually very small.

Besides, so far, he can only make do with the fact that the game is interesting, so he decided to play it.

But if he tries hard to hide the evidence now, and then lies or even blames others based on this, he will feel like he is being played by the system.

Therefore, in the end, he just chose to hide the evidence casually, pretending to cooperate with the game mission.

As for what will happen if you continue down, it will be up to you.

At 12 o'clock, Maid Liu knocked on the door: "Lawyer Zhang, lunch is ready, please go to the restaurant and wait for the meal."

"Okay, I'll be there." Gu Liang replied, and heard the footsteps of the maid walking away.

Gu Liang did not leave the bedroom immediately, but went to the bathroom to wash his face first.

After finishing all this, it happened to be 12:10 when Gu Liang went to the restaurant to sit down.

The script did not specify where everyone should sit during the meal, so Gu Liang just sat down casually.

After a while, Yang Ye came and sat down next to Gu Liang.Son Bai then arrived and sat opposite Gu Liang.

Brother Bai came last.I don't know what happened to him when he was arrested and taken to the small black room. He is still terrified now, his whole body is shaking, and there are a few bloodstains on his face that he scratched.

12 points.

Maid Liu walked up to everyone and said with a smile: "I knocked on the master's door 10 minutes ago to ask him to eat, but no one answered. I don't know if he is sleeping. So, I set aside some meals for the master alone. eat."

Having said that, Maid Liu took out a food box containing meals and handed it to Son Bai. "Master, I'm afraid that the master will criticize me and disturb him to sleep, can you please send it to the master?"

When Gu Liang heard this, he immediately looked at Son Bai, and as expected, Son Bai's face looked a bit heavy.

According to what Son Bai said in the morning, the script asked him to take the opportunity to poison Boss Bai during lunch.

If that was the original words of his script, then everything that happened now was interpreted according to the script - the maid asked him to deliver the food, so the way from the restaurant to the second floor was a good opportunity for him to "take the opportunity" to poison.

Son Bai carried the food box and left with a heavy heart.

At 12:40, he returned to the restaurant and took his seat.

During the 10 minutes that Son Bai left, Maid Liu slowly brought out dishes from the kitchen and put them on the dining table.

The variety of food is quite rich, and it looks delicious, but it is obvious that no one touches their chopsticks.

As a result, everyone was more or less worried and anxious, and had no intention of eating at all.

Second, who knows if these foods have been poisoned.

Immediately, the broadcast sounded: "The following public plot will be read out. Starting at 12:40, everyone happily had lunch. Drinking wine and chatting and laughing. It was not until 1:[-] in the afternoon that everyone reluctantly left the restaurant."

"Happy", "Laughing and laughing", "Reluctantly"...

Every word used in this system is enough for Gu Liang to complain about ten thousand times.

In order to cooperate with the script, everyone had to stay in the restaurant.

But no one ate, just looked at each other without talking.

After a while, Yang Ye raised his arm and touched Gu Liang's shoulder.

Gu Liang sideways staggered his hands and looked at him: "What are you doing?"

Yang Ye: "Is your card still there? How about we continue to compare?"

Gu Liang only said: "I didn't bring the cards with me."

"Okay." Yang Ye looked at the dining table, finally picked up a piece of chicken leg, and asked everyone, "Are none of you poisoning this chicken leg?"

Maid Liu just smiled and said nothing.

Brother Bai froze there dumbly.

Only Bai Zi replied, "I didn't download it."

Yang Ye nodded, looked at Gu Liang beside him, "What about you?"

Gu Liang said: "I haven't. But I advise you not to eat it."

"Why?" Yang Ye asked.

Gu Liangzhi: "Bold assumptions, careful verification. This makes sense. Once the verification is not done properly, if something happens, you may die."

Yang Ye thought for a while and said, "The script this time is just a simple experience mode. If you don't take advantage of this time to try out the gameplay of this game, you will have no chance in the future, and you can only wait to be killed by the system. So even if you have Risk, I have to bet this once."

After Yang Ye said this, he had already bitten off a bite of the chicken leg.

"As far as the murder method of poisoning is concerned, if the murderer poisons a whole table of food, unless it is because he doesn't understand Boss Bai's eating habits, he can't just poison Boss Bai alone. In addition, the murderer has to He has a great hatred for Boss Bai, and even has a bit of an anti-human personality. For Boss Bai, he poisoned one person, and he would not hesitate to kill everyone."

"Based on this basic logic, we come to the market one by one."

"First of all, Lawyer Zhang, when you went to the kitchen, I heard the sound of the lid of the sand pot being closed, and you came out soon after that, so your poison was poured into the soup. You should know that Boss Bai The habit of drinking soup every day is targeted poisoning. You don't need to put the medicine in other foods."

"Let's talk about Son Bai. I've been watching in the living room all morning, and Son Bai didn't come to the kitchen this morning. If he wants to poison him, he can only do it on the way to deliver food to Boss Bai."

"Then go to Maid Liu. Maid Liu delivered soup to Boss Bai at 11:50 in the morning; at 12:20 I went to call Boss Bai for dinner alone; next, she brought the box of meals that Son Bai sent just now from the kitchen. There are many opportunities for Maid Liu to poison, and she can do it precisely, and she doesn't need to poison all the dishes."

"The last is Brother Bai. I met Brother Bai in the morning. The script should have him coming to the kitchen to poison him. He was timid and fearful, had a disturbed conscience, and was unwilling. He was punished by the system. The system said that he violated the rules of the script and did not start on time. But the system didn't say he was OOC, so Brother Bai's personality should be similar to him. He doesn't seem to have an anti-social personality, and the possibility of poisoning all meals is not high."

"In summary, I judge that the chicken leg is not poisonous. Everyone can eat this meal. Look, I took a bite just now, isn't it all right? The system didn't remind me not to eat it."

When Yang Ye said this, he took another bite of the chicken, and immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

Gu Liang: "..."

Show off, keep on showing off.

Has the car overturned?

Gu Liang complained, but immediately squatted down to check Yang Ye's pulse and breathing.

To Gu Liang's surprise, Yang Ye was really out of breath.

Gu Liang's heart sank for a moment, and he always felt that all this should not have happened.

Gu Liang basically agrees with Yang Ye's deduction just now.

Logically speaking, these meals are indeed not poisonous.

Yang Ye's reasoning is based on the behavior logic of each character in the script, and everyone's motivation and timeline are very clear.

According to the script, the only dead person is Boss Bai. There must not be a case where a certain murderer poisoned all the vegetables and poisoned multiple players.

Unless...it's something other than the script.

——A player poisoned all the meals. This is not a script agreement, but his private behavior.

In addition, his behavior was not considered OOC, so he was not notified and punished by the system.

Having said that, Gu Liang also felt that this possibility was too small.

If someone really killed all the players, how would this game be played?

The system will not completely ignore it, it should stop it.

Could it be that Yang Ye succeeded in taking his own life away?

With many questions in mind, Gu Liang didn't delay, and immediately went to look through the trash cans in three places, namely the dining room, the living room, and the kitchen.

In the end he got his reward, he found a bottle of feign death in the kitchen trash can.

The bottle is empty, it seems that it has been used.

Instructions were posted on the bottle, which read: "After taking the medicine for 5 minutes, you will enter a state of suspended animation, which can last for two hours."

Gu Liang himself did not administer feigned death medicine, and Bai's son never came to the kitchen, so the medicine could only be given by the maid and Brother Bai.

There are many opportunities for maids to accurately poison, and there is no need to give everyone a fake death drug.

Therefore, although the specific modus operandi is still unclear, it is more likely that Brother Bai would fake his death.

Gu Liang thought, Yang Ye has been staring at everyone in the living room today, and he probably has already turned over the trash can in the kitchen.

Therefore, Yang Ye may have already guessed that Brother Bai would put a fake death drug in all the meals.

It's just that he probably wanted to test something, so he actually ate the chicken leg that had been dosed with fake death medicine.

At this moment, the radio suddenly rang, but it was not aimed at Yang Ye, but at Gu Liang.

"Let's report on the unexpected situation. Lawyer Zhang, it's a pleasant lunch time. How can you leave the restaurant privately before the end of lunch at 1:[-]? You violated the content of the public plot, and you will be punished !"

When Gu Liang raised his eyelids, he saw two men in black approaching.

Gu Liang: "..."

Oh shit.

Obviously it was Yang Ye who was flirting, but he tricked me.
