Live Action Murder Mystery

Gu Liang found that his corpse was indeed not very good-looking, because the whole face was blue-purple.

The corpse was wearing a simple and cheap white T-shirt, exactly the same as the one Gu Liang was wearing now.

It's just that the corpse's clothes and bluish-purple face were covered with mud, making it look very embarrassed.

Seeing the other self lying lifeless in the soil, Gu Liang couldn't say that he was afraid, but felt that the feeling at the moment was a bit strange.

It was as if he had had such an experience before—looking at his own corpse as a bystander.

Gu Liang was stunned for a moment, then squatted down, and took off the T-shirt on the corpse.The upper body of the deceased did not have any other obvious injuries, only a deep strangle mark on the neck. In addition, the face and lips of the corpse were a little purple. Gu Liang finally lifted his eyelids to look, and found that the whites of his eyes were a little swollen.

"It should be mechanical suffocation. The murderer took something and strangled him to death." Gu Liang turned to look at Yang Ye and asked, "Have you checked the body before? Are there any other injuries on the back or other places? "

It was only then that Gu Liang realized that Yang Ye's eyes were turned aside, and he didn't look at the corpse at all.

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows. "I don't see anything wrong with my own body. Are you uncomfortable?"

What did Yang Yexin say I was awkward?But it's not appropriate for me to take off your clothes.

Take your clothes off and examine you?Spread the word?

Also "the rest of the place", where is the rest of the place?Want me to take off your pants?

Where did Gu Liang think that Yang Ye's thoughts had gone astray, he just thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "But it's true, two identical people appear in front of you, one is alive, and the other is lying on the ground dead, why? It's very weird to think about. But... have you ever thought that I may really be dead, and now I am played by a murderer, and I wear a human skin mask or something."

Yang Ye: "..."

After Gu Liangwu turned the corpse over and over to study it clearly, he put the corpse back into the soil.

Gu Liang rubbed his hands, patted the soil on it, then stood up and looked at Yang Ye, and found that he was looking directly at him with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Gu Liang asked.

Yang Ye said, "Don't say that again."

Gu Liang didn't understand. "So, where is it?"

Yang Ye said earnestly: "Don't talk about your own death. Life and death are important matters, and you shouldn't take them lightly."

It was rare for Yang Ye to be so serious, Gu Liang was taken aback.

Uncommonly, Gu Liang didn't scold him, and only nodded after a long while. "Ok."

Yang Ye was also a little surprised that he had such a reaction. "Ok?"

——That's the end of it?

Gu Liang nodded again. "Well, I see. Still have questions?"

This kind of Gu Liang, at this moment, is like a cat that is easy to blow its hair and accidentally put down its claws, it is very smooth and cute.

Yang Ye let out a sullen breath from his heart, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up. "no problem."

Gu Liang was a little surprised.It was because Yang Ye suddenly laughed like this at this moment, but Gu Liang didn't know what he was laughing at.

In fact, Gu Liang has discovered this problem a long time ago - often when the two of them are chatting normally, Yang Ye suddenly laughs by himself inexplicably.

But Gu Liang didn't want to ask him what strange things he had imagined, he just looked him up and down, and then said: "I'll go back to the house and take a shower. You should also take a shower, you're covered in mud."

Yang Ye asked him: "Okay. Do you want to come to my side after taking a shower? Let's discuss this case?"

Gu Liang thought for a while and said, "How about this. At 10:[-], you go to a place with me. I didn't write the script and I can't take people there. So I think we can go together."

At 10:[-], Gu Liang followed the instructions of the script and went to the alley next to No. [-] Middle School.

The difference is that Gu Liang didn't come alone, he also brought Yang Ye with him.

However, the script did not clearly state that Gu Liang encountered the corpse alone. Taking advantage of this loophole, Gu Liang and Yang Ye did not receive the violation notification from the system.

The bright moon and clear light shone into the narrow alley, and also saw two corpses.

One of the corpses belonged to Beggar Ding whom Gu Liangcai had seen.

As for the other one, it belonged to another acquaintance - Li Xiaoyu.

Li Xiaoyu tightly closed her eyes, her pale face showed that she had lost too much blood.

There was a shard of broken glass stuck in her chest, which should be a shard of broken beer bottle.

Blood flowed from her chest, flowing along the cracks in the stone slabs, exuding a strong fishy smell.

As for Beggar Ding, he held Li Xiaoyu tightly in his arms, and there were many tears on his face that hadn't completely dried up.

He frowned tightly, his eyes were straight open, his expression was painful, and he could not rest in peace.

However, Beggar Ding didn't have any blood on his body, only his lips were blue-purple, which seemed to be a symptom of poisoning.

Gu Liang stepped forward to check it out. Beggar Ding's body was still warm. It seemed that Li Xiaoyu's body had cooled down not long after her death. It seemed that her death time was before Beggar Ding's.

A certain subtle feeling arose in Gu Liang's heart.He seemed to have a little understanding of Yang Ye's mood when he faced his corpse.

——Li Xiaoyu in front of me is also an acquaintance.

It is always a pity that such an innocent girl died like this.

"What do you think?" Yang Ye's expression was rather serious.

Gu Liang roughly explained the script he received to Yang Ye, and then said: "I thought that when I came to the alley at 10:[-], I would only see the corpse of Beggar Ding, but I didn't expect that there was Li Xiaoyu's... Among the characters I know so far, the only female character is Senior Sister Feng. Then Li Xiaoyu may be playing Senior Sister Feng. Therefore, at least three people have died in this script so far. Senior sister and beggar Ding."

Yang Ye asked: "Senior Feng? Beggar Ding hugged Senior Feng to die, with a sad expression on his face. What's the relationship between them?"

Gu Liangdao: "From the conversation I heard between Beggar Ding and Beggar Li, Beggar Ding likes Sister Feng very much, and he has been chipping in money to buy a guitar for Sister Feng."

Yang Ye thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that sister Feng died from excessive blood loss, and Beggar Ding was poisoned. Since there are two methods of killing, the murderer should not be the same person. According to your script, the person who killed Beggar Ding with poison It might be Li BBQ. As for Senior Sister Shafeng...Since Beggar Ding likes her, Beggar Ding didn't kill her."

Gu Liang frowned and pondered, trying to restore everything that happened here based on the clues he has so far.

His gaze immediately fell on the ground a few meters away, where there was a broken beer bottle. It is not difficult to guess that the fragments of the bottle on Senior Sister Feng's chest were picked up from here.

After a while, Gu Liang spoke slowly: "The murder weapon was picking up pieces of wine bottles from the ground. This doesn't seem like a premeditated killing method. It should be a murder of passion. Sister Feng was killed in this alley first. Beggar Ding then came to the alley and saw her dead body. He felt very sad, so he held her in his arms and wept. Unexpectedly, he also died of poisoning right after. This is probably what happened.”

The two of them didn't look at the corpse for too long. After about 20 minutes, they returned to Pharaoh's house next door.

Neither of them felt sleepy, so Yang Ye simply went to stir-fry a few dishes, planning to have a late-night supper with Gu Liang.

Yang Ye didn't cook too many dishes, garlic pork ribs, cola chicken wings, boiled lettuce, and tomato and egg soup.

After eating, Yang Ye served Gu Liang a bowl of soup, looked at him gnawing on the ribs, and asked him, "What did you eat today?"

Gu Liang thought about the homemade eggs mixed with soy sauce, but he was not too embarrassed to say.

Yang Ye stared at him and smiled: "If I hadn't come to this game, would you have starved to death?"

Gu Liang put down the ribs, wiped his mouth, folded the paper towels and threw them into the trash can before he said slowly: "That's not the case. It's just... just eat lightly."

Yang Ye didn't expose him, and found a beer and two glasses. "Would you like some?"

Gu Liang shook his head, drank the soup slowly, wiped his mouth and hands, followed Yang Ye's principle that he should wash the dishes when cooking, and got up to pack the dishes.

When he came over after washing the dishes, Yang Ye sat on the small broken sofa in the cramped room and had already drunk two bottles of beer.

When Yang Ye went to open the third bottle of beer, Gu Liang stopped him.

Yang Ye put down the wine bottle and looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Gu Liang said: "Discuss the case. If you drink too much, your mind will become confused."

"Okay. What do you want to discuss, you say."

Yang Ye put down the bottle and heard Gu Liang say, "I've 'died', so my time has been reset."

Yang Ye nodded: "It's possible."

Gu Liang asked again: "There is no clock in this room. Everyone's time can only be seen on the card. When I woke up today, the card showed 8:7 pm on August 9th. What about you, your time What is it?"

Yang Ye frowned slightly, and said, "According to my card display, it's August 8th."

"My time is only one day behind yours. From this point of view, I only died once. As for the murderer who killed me..."

Gu Liang paused at this point, then raised his upper eyelids, looked into Yang Ye's eyes, and asked, "Did you kill me?"

Gu Liang was wearing a low-quality T-shirt with long herringbone characters. This look fit the low-level people who guarded the coffin shop and waited to die.

But his eyes were clear and calm, his black hair and fair face made him look very dignified.

It can be seen that he is a very pure and proud person. It is a feeling brought out from the bottom of his bones, a state where flowers bloom out of dust.

But for some reason, Yang Ye always felt that when Gu Liang asked this sentence, his eyes were somewhat provocative.

So Yang Ye changed his leisurely sitting posture, and leaned his body slightly, forming an oppressive questioning posture not to be outdone.

Yang Ye asked back: "Do you think I will kill you?"

The clothes of Yang Ye, the owner of the shroud shop, are a bit like the gowns of the Republic of China period, and the style is quite rustic and poor.

But when Gu Liang looked at him, he understood what it means to be born noble and domineering.

——Yang Ye wore this suit, he didn't look like a real shroud shop owner at all, just like a gangster in the Shanghai Bund during the Republic of China.

He opened his legs slightly, put his hands on them, and sat in a very tall posture, leaning slightly to look at Gu Liang.

He still had an innocent smile on his face, but his eyes were somewhat meaningful.

Gu Liang seemed to find his question very interesting, and replied after a while: "You killed me, just to execute the script requirements. You have two choices - either you kill me yourself; or you are locked in a small dark room and let the black clothes Someone killed me for you. Comparing the two, I will die anyway, why do you need to go to the small black room. So, if you are smart enough, you should choose to kill me directly."

Yang Ye narrowed his eyes for a moment, his eyes looked dim under the light. "If I weigh the pros and cons like this, don't you think I'm cold?"

Gu Liang's expression was calm, he smiled lightly, and the beautiful lying silkworm bent along with him. "It's human nature to weigh the pros and cons."

Yang Ye leaned back on the back of the sofa, relaxed his shoulders, forming a relaxed posture, and then commented: "Tsk, no conscience."

Gu Liang lowered his eyelids, smiled, and didn't answer.

After a while, Yang Ye said again: "Even if you weigh the pros and cons, it's not like this."

"Then how should we weigh?" Gu Liang asked.

Yang Ye didn't answer this question.

He just changed to a foolish expression, and said, "Aren't you going to ask me about the timeline of these two days?"

Gu Liang continued to ask: "If I ask you, will you answer truthfully?"

Yang Ye let out a sigh that had been stuffy in his heart for a long time. "It's really heartless. When did I lie to you? You just don't believe me."

Gu Liang glanced at him with a cold gaze. "I didn't say I was afraid you would lie to me."

Yang Ye subtly noticed something. "Eh?"

Gu Liang raised his chin and squinted at him. "I just think that maybe due to script regulations, there are some things you can't say."

Yang Ye: "Oh..."

Gu Liang's pupils shrank, and his tone was severe. "If I'm afraid you'll lie to me, why should I bring you this script?"

Yang Ye: "..."

- oh well.

Yang Ye felt warm in his heart, and immediately leaned forward to look into Gu Liang's eyes, but this time it was not an oppressive attitude, but an expression that wanted to explain well. "I'm not a murderer. After I entered this script, I was immediately taken to a wasteland. I didn't ask for anything. The black man gave me two pieces of bread and left. You don't even know what a day I live."

Gu Liang asked him: "Then what is your plot?"

Yang Ye said: "Go back to the village to visit relatives. The man in black put me down and I was about to leave. I asked them, didn't they mean to go back to the village? Where is the village? Guess what the man in black answered?"

Gu Liang seemed to find it a little funny, smiled lightly, and asked cooperatively: "What did he answer?"

Yang Ye said angrily: "He said that the venue in the village hasn't been set up yet, so let me make do for a while, anyway, my role is not important!"

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows. "You won't be a detective again, will you?"

"Who knows. Anyway, this time the deceased is unknown, the murderer is unknown, and the detective is unknown. I don't have a notebook or a camera."

Yang Ye seized the opportunity to complain to Gu Liang, "I stayed in the wasteland for almost 24 hours without even a single blade of grass!"

Gu Liang calmly comforted him: "Well, I'm sorry for you."

"That's not it." Yang Ye seemed to be comforted, and looked at Gu Liang with a smile on his face.

Gu Liang nodded expressionlessly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Okay, it's clear. Now there are three murder cases. First, someone killed Senior Feng with a broken wine bottle and left her in the alley. Most likely a murder of passion."

"Secondly, Beggar Ding's lips were purple, and there was no other obvious trauma on his body. It was suspected that he had eaten poisonous barbecue from Li's barbecue. The poison would not kill him immediately, so he died after an hour."

"Third, someone strangled me to death and threw me out of your backyard. He probably knew you were going home to visit relatives, so he dared to bury the body at your house. By the way, he can frame you. By the way... "

Gu Liang asked Yang Ye: "What time did you come back?"

Yang Yedao: "It's almost 10 o'clock."

顾良点头：“我是9点醒来的。按死者重生会倒流24小时的设定。我死于8月8日9点。你既然是10点回来的，那么他在9点杀人之后，在10点前完成了埋尸的动作。”

"Yes, that's right. It's 11 o'clock. In fact, you were killed once two hours ago."

Yang Ye stretched his waist, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Actually...what about rebirth, time reset of the dead, I think these words are used by the script to confuse everyone. Essentially, everyone is still living at the same time and time." under the space."

Gu Liangxin said it was true.

In front of the bed are the clothes he folded the day before, and the porridge he cooked in the refrigerator... These items are still there, so in essence, time has not flowed back, it's just that the "reborn" person has lost a day's memory.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Liang said: "So, if you look at this setting from a different perspective, everything will become very simple - no one will really die, once someone is murdered, he will lose 24 hours of memory, and at the same time there will be a fully copied His dead body appeared for us to find clues for the murderer."

"Yes, that's it. This script is called "City of Immortality", and there is no real death. I can see that there will be many corpses in this script, but they don't represent real death, they only serve as a clue to the plot. In the end, how did the deceased appear in this case, and who is the murderer? There should be other clues."

Having said that, Yang Ye stood up. "I have to find a notebook and record these things. If I am killed, I will lose 24 hours of memory. But just like your porridge is still there, my notebook will also exist. At that time, read Notes, I can know what happened in the 24 hours of my amnesia. Looking at it this way, the script is very simple."

"Yes, I'm a little disappointed." Gu Liang said.

Yang Ye looked at him in surprise. "What are you disappointed about?"

Gu Liang said indifferently: "At first glance at this setting, I was confused by the word 'time reset' and thought the script was quite difficult. I didn't expect everything to be so simple. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked you to come."

Yang Ye thought about what to do, and smiled. "Yo, how about complimenting me?"

"Yeah." Gu Liang nodded generously, "If you encounter a really difficult script... Tsk, it's a waste of opportunity."

Yang Yele said: "It's okay, maybe I will get a similar reward card next time, I can just take you with me."

"Okay." Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye, "By the way, besides your own, bring two more notebooks. The two of us have three records in total. One for you, one for me. The third is a public backup , put it with my body."

Yang Ye pondered over what to do, the smile on his face disappeared. "Do you want to make another copy?"

Gu Liang nodded: "Of course, I may be killed a second time and forget it again."

Yang Ye frowned immediately.

He happened to get up at that moment to find a few small blank ledgers. Hearing Gu Liang's words, he squeezed the ledgers hard with his palm, and couldn't tell what mood he was in for a while.

"What are you doing? The paper is going to be crumpled by you." Gu Liang suddenly said.

Yang Ye woke up from a daze, finally came over and handed the notebook to Gu Liang, and divided the work with him to record the key information.

late at night.Yang Ye sent Gu Liang back.

Gu Liang looked at him in surprise. "I'm next door, what can I get?"

Yang Ye said, "Go and see at your place, the setting of the coffin shop...maybe there is something wrong."

Gu Liang nodded: "That's fine."

Yang Ye sent Gu Liang back to the room, and the two of them slipped up and down, and it was almost time for Yang Ye to leave.

It was raining when Yang Ye left.Gu Liang went to the utility room upstairs to get the umbrella, and took it down for Yang Ye.

Yang Ye stood at the back door, a little rainwater wet his hair, and then flowed down his temples.

Gu Liang handed him an umbrella and fetched a towel for him.

In front of the lamp under the eaves, Yang Ye watched him with a smile. "So thoughtful."

Gu Liang said lightly: "You're welcome."

Hearing this answer, Yang Ye was happy. "The White Snake also gave Xu Xian an umbrella on a rainy day."

Gu Liang looked calm. "Oh, so what?"

——What kind of brain circuit is this person?

Yang Ye took off his glasses and wiped the rain off them, "It's nothing. It's 12 o'clock in the evening. When it rains, I can write it down in my diary. Maybe it will be useful."

"Yes." Gu Liang nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Yang Ye left holding an umbrella.

Standing at the back door, Gu Liang glanced at Yang Ye's back into the rainy night, and tilted his head slightly.

Then the corners of Gu Liang's eyes curved. ——What Xu Xian?Xu Xian is an honest man.You are not like him.

To Gu Liang's surprise, just as Yang Ye left, his card vibrated, and it said: "The more you think about it tonight, the more angry you become, you won't be able to marry a wife, and if you end up alone in the future, it will all be caused by Principal Cha. You decided to kill him to relieve your hatred."

"Principal Zha runs in the back playground of No. 6 Middle School every morning at 5 o'clock in the morning. You enter through the back door at 6:[-], pass by the sports equipment room, and take the baseball bat inside. At [-] o'clock, Principal Zha came to run as expected , you killed him when he was not prepared, threw his body into the long jump sandpit on the playground and buried him, and threw the baseball bat there. After all this, you went back to the coffin shop and pretended to be Nothing happened."
