Live Action Murder Mystery

After roughly reading the diary, Gu Liang's card vibrated.

Gu Liang flashed his card, and there was a plot on it: "The [Principal Cha] of No. [-] Middle School has troubled you recently... Thinking that because of him, your business has plummeted, and you may not even be able to marry a wife, you are very upset. , planning to go for a walk in the street.”

"Before you left the bedroom, you saw that the bedside table had been moved. You felt that something was wrong. Because this was a feng shui bureau set up by your father before his death. He told you that you must not move the cabinet at ordinary times, otherwise you will be in great trouble. The house The doors and windows showed no signs of being picked, and the items in the house were all there, and there had never been any theft in the town. Who would move these cabinets?

"Soon you realized that it could only be the cabinet that you moved yourself. But you don't remember why you did that at all. Remembering your father's advice, you had to quickly move the cabinet back to its original position so as not to damage the Feng Shui pattern. At this time , you found the note you left behind. You reacted and decided to act according to the content of the note."

Putting away the cards, Gu Liang went to the bedside table and looked down. The legs of the cabinet did not coincide with the dust marks on the floor.

Following the lines of dust, Gu Liang pushed the bedside table back to its original position.

Sure enough, a note was exposed.

Gu Liang picked up the note, which said: "Writing to myself - stay at home tonight, don't go anywhere. Everything is coming to an end, it's finally over..."

After roughly reading the diary and the plot, Gu Liang probably understood what happened to the boss Meng he played.

Boss Meng may have died several times and resurrected several times.

Originally, once he was resurrected, he would lose 24 hours of memory, so he didn't realize it.

Until one day, perhaps because of a certain opportunity, he discovered that he was constantly dying.

So what did he do to break this predicament and completely rescue himself.

He knew that he would be killed again and lose his memory again, so he deliberately changed the feng shui pattern in the bedroom.

He did this, of course, not to destroy Feng Shui and bring disaster to himself.

The purpose of doing this is twofold: first, to ensure that the self after amnesia will definitely notice this change, and then find the note hidden under the cabinet; Two people saw it.

Therefore, Boss Meng will not go out again tonight.

This cycle of constant death and rebirth will also come to an end.

However, even though he understands this point, Gu Liang has not fully figured out why he is the murderer.

He felt that before he made a definite judgment yesterday, he should have carefully sorted out the plot and the timeline of each character.

It's just that he forgot everything, and now he can only review everything through the diary.

But Gu Liang was not in a hurry.

He walked upstairs and downstairs again, and closed all the doors and windows tightly. Then he made himself porridge, boiled eggs, took a shower, and then started to pick up his diary to sort out his thoughts.

the same moment.

In Lao Wang's yard next door, a floor lamp illuminated the two corpses in the mud, both of which belonged to Gu Liang.

Yang Ye sat on the small bench and stared at the corpse without saying a word.

On the side, someone moved a bench and sat beside him, but she only stared at the corpse once, and didn't dare to take a second look.

It was Li Xiaoyu.

Li Xiaoyu turned her head and looked at the coffin shop next door.

There was a dim yellow light in the attic on the second floor that was always on, but there was no movement from there.

Li Xiaoyu looked at Yang Ye again: "I heard the announcement on the radio. Have you been punished?"

"Yeah." Yang Ye nodded, "I just came back."

Li Xiaoyu glanced at the card. "I... I really can't stay alone, so I just want to talk to you. I still have my timeline soon, and I have to go too."

Yang Ye recalled that at 9 o'clock last night, Gu Liang died and was resurrected at the same time. He went to the street and saw Li BBQ giving the poisonous barbecue to Beggar Ding.

Later, at around 10:[-], he took himself to the alley and saw Beggar Ding hugging Senior Feng, and both of them died.

What happened yesterday will happen again today.

Therefore, Li Xiaoyu said that she would have a timeline soon, but in fact, she was about to be killed in the alley again.

Yang Ye asked her: "During the day, you haven't received the plot yet, so you don't know how you died. What about now?"

Li Xiaoyu said: "Please help me analyze it. My timeline is like this. At 7 o'clock, neighbor Liu ate the poisonous barbecue I made, and died of poison at 8 o'clock. At 8:20, I saw Boss Meng leave the coffin After a while, Principal Zha went out to look for me, and when he saw the barbecue stall, he knew that I had killed someone."

"Principal Zha said that Li BBQ may come back to take over the barbecue stall at any time. It is better to hide the corpse as soon as possible. As for how to deal with the corpse in the future, he will figure out a way later. I told him that there is no one in the coffin shop. He went to the back door I looked there and found that the door was not locked, so I temporarily hid the body in a coffin for me to find a chance to buy the coffin later.”

"After that, I went home. But the more I thought about it, the more scared I became. I was always worried that the corpse would be discovered by others, so I came around the coffin shop again, seemingly wandering, but actually watching."

"No, I'm just wandering around right now. I happened to see you with a light on here, so I came to talk to you. Anyway, there is no hard and fast rule in the script, saying that I can't come to you or something. Speaking of which..."

Li Xiaoyu glanced at the coffin shop again, "Since Gu Liang is awake, why didn't he come to you? I also said that we should discuss the case together."

The question Li Xiaoyu asked was exactly what Yang Ye was worried about.

The reason why Gu Liang didn't come was precisely what he didn't want to think deeply about at this time.

Yang Ye's expression was extremely serious, but his face was hidden in the shadow that the light did not see, so Li Xiaoyu didn't notice it.

Yang Ye was silent for a while, and then asked again: "You haven't got to the point. How did you get killed?"

"I don't know. My script wasn't written."

Li Xiaoyu said, "After 9 o'clock, there was movement from the attic of the coffin shop, and the lights were turned on. Of course, as a player, I now know that it is because Boss Meng was resurrected at home. But in the script, as Senior Sister Feng I don't know. My first reaction was to hide in the dark and observe carefully to see if anyone came out, or if anyone went in."

"I hid behind a tree near the backyard of his house. I waited for a long time, and no one came in or out of the coffin shop. It was almost 10 o'clock, and I hurried home."

Yang Ye was a little startled when he heard this.

Because Gu Liang's timeline has changed.

The timeline Li Xiaoyu just mentioned was a new one she received today.

But her timeline yesterday must be different from today's.

She just said that her timeline today is that she was watching near the coffin shop after 9 o'clock and found that no one entered or left the coffin shop.

But yesterday, at 9:[-] in the evening, Gu Liang clearly went out.

——He walked around from the backyard to the long street outside, just in time to see the scene where Li BBQ gave the poisonous barbecue to Beggar Ding.

Li Xiaoyu didn't notice that Yang Ye's expression was getting more and more serious, so he continued: "When I went home, I passed the alley between the middle school and the apartment building, and saw Beggar Ding in it. I hurt someone, and my conscience was disturbed. I wanted to do something good, so I walked into the alley, bent down, and planned to give some money to beggar Ding. Then I didn’t know anything. It should be at this moment, I don’t know who killed me.”

Yang Ye squinted his eyes, exhaled slowly, turned around to face Li Xiaoyu, and asked, "Do you still remember the corpse of neighbor Liu we found in the coffin shop, what are his characteristics?"

"Remember, the lips are blue and purple, and the face is smiling." Li Xiaoyu said.

Yang Ye: "Beggar Ding died of the same poison as him. Beggar Dante looks like he is dying. Do you know the reason?"

Li Xiaoyu: "I don't know why Beggar Ding died with such reluctance. But I know why Neighbor Liu is smiling."

Hearing this, Yang Ye couldn't help clenching his back molars. "How to say?"

Li Xiaoyu said: "The poison I gave is called [Fantasy Dream], and the poison takes one hour. The specific manifestation is that after taking it for half an hour, people start to fall into hallucinations, and after half an hour, they die."

"Doesn't Neighbor Liu like me? He probably has the illusion that I'm marrying him."

Hearing this, Yang Ye let out a long breath, and then buried his face in his palm.

"You...what's the matter with you?" Li Xiaoyu asked him.

"It's okay." When Yang Ye raised his head, his expression had returned to normal, "I'm just a little tired."

Li Xiaoyu asked: "After listening to what I said, do you have any thoughts? Can you guess who killed me?"

Yang Ye answered firmly. "I don't have any ideas yet."

"Okay, then I'll go first." Li Xiaoyu stood up.

"Yeah. Let's go." Yang Ye nodded.

Li Xiaoyu turned her head three times a step, walked to the entrance of the backyard, and asked again, "Boss Yang Ye?"

"what happened?"

"You won't lie to me, will you?"

"I have been staying out of the matter and have nothing to do with your plot. I should be a detective. Why should I lie to you?"

"Well. That's good. I just thought you were a detective and I didn't think I was a murderer, so I dared to tell you everything. Hehe, I lost my mind about this script. I don't understand it at all. When the time comes, I will tell you everything. You vote. I figured it out, it doesn’t matter whether I understand the plot or not, I found the thigh hug, the most important thing.”

At this moment, Li Xiaoyu's card also vibrated. This is the card reminding her that her timeline is approaching.

Yang Ye smiled and waved to her.

In order to avoid being punished, she stopped hesitating and hurried for a walk.

After Li Xiaoyu left, Yang Ye raised his hand to support his glasses, then slid his fingers down and hooked on the bridge of his nose.

In fact, he lied to Li Xiaoyu just now.

He had already guessed who the murderer of Li Xiaoyu was.

The setting of this script is indeed a bit complicated and mind-boggling, but its difficulty is only one star.

One of the reasons why its difficulty is low is that the detective has been watching the whole story from the outside, which can be said to have God's perspective.As long as the detective has a clear mind and can follow the logic clearly, it will not be difficult to solve the case.

Of course, this difficulty is low, starting from the perspective of a good person.

From the murderer's point of view, the script is less kind.

——Now Yang Ye can see the problem even if he doesn't bother with logic and plot.

It was nearly 10 o'clock in the evening, and Li Xiaoyu would still go to that alley to wait to be killed.

However, Gu Liang did not repeat yesterday's timeline.

The boss Meng he played stayed at home, unlike last night, he first went to the street to see Li's barbecue poisoning, and then went to the alley to see the corpses of Beggar Ding and Senior Sister Feng.

This means that the cycle is about to end.

Boss Meng obviously knew this too - only he didn't repeat what he did yesterday.

11 pm.

The system sounded a broadcast: "The script interpretation stage is over, and we are about to enter the investigation stage. Due to the special interpretation stage of this script, many players have experienced amnesia many times, and may have the illusion of time disorder. Therefore, before the investigation begins, , the system will help everyone adjust the time difference uniformly.”

"All players, please go back to your respective residences and lie down on the bed. The system will spray sleep gas throughout the city to force everyone to fall asleep. Remind again, after 10 minutes, the sleep gas will spread throughout the city. To avoid accidents, please be sure to return to Lie down on the bed."

When Gu Liang woke up again, the morning light illuminated the cramped and dark attic room through the window.

His head was extremely heavy.

He sat up and pressed his temples for a long time before slowly recovering.

At this time, the citywide broadcast sounded again.

"Ding Dong, did you all sleep well last night?"

"It is now 8:10 am on August 7th, and we will give everyone another hour to rest and adjust the time. The official investigation will start at 8:[-]."

"There are multiple crime scenes this time, so there is no separate distinction between the crime scene and the free exploration site. The two will be combined for a period of 2 hours. At 10 o'clock, the centralized discussion will begin. At that time, please follow the card map instructions to the centralized discussion room .”

"Concentrated discussion is limited to 5 hours, and drinks and snacks are provided. I wish you a happy game!"

It is now 8:10 am on August 7th.This is when the investigation begins.

In fact, the drama performance ended last night, that is, the night of August 8th.

Gu Liang picked up the diary again and checked it. On it, he wrote in his own hand that he had died three times.

Gu Liang was very puzzled when he saw this place last night.

Because according to the setting of dying once and turning back the time for 24 hours, there is not enough time for him to die three times.

Last night, after sorting out the plot in the diary, he was about to go to the lobby on the first floor and open the coffin to have a look. Unfortunately, the system began to emit some sleep gas, so he had to lie back on the bed and fall asleep again. until now.

At that moment, Gu Liang's gaze stayed on the sentence "I am the real murderer in this case" in the diary for a while, and without further delay, he went straight downstairs and walked towards the coffin in the center of the hall.

All the plot reminders that happened on the card have disappeared, so Gu Liang can't see any information from the card.

He could only stare at the coffin and think, is there any secret hidden under the coffin boards?

The coffin board was a little heavy, Gu Liang took some effort to move it away, at this moment, he heard a knock on the back door.

"Gu Liang? Go to my house for breakfast and discuss the case."

This is Yang Ye's voice.

Gu Liang stopped pushing the coffin board, subconsciously frowned.

After a while, he had to fasten the coffin boards again, then tore off all the pages of the diary with important notes written on them, and threw them into the toilet to flush away.

The system doesn't give any prompt.

This is a text written by himself, and if it is washed away now, it really does not count as evidence of destruction.

After finishing everything, Gu Liang went to open the door.

After Gu Liang opened the door, Yang Ye's eyelids drooped slightly and fell on Gu Liang's forehead, where the broken hair was a bit wet, it should be soaked in sweat.

Yang Ye glanced behind him, then looked at him again. "It took so long to open the door, and there is sweat on your forehead, why don't you get up early and do some exercise?"

Gu Liang raised his eyes to look at Yang Ye, with the corners of his lips raised in a half-smile. "I said I went to destroy the evidence. Do you believe me?"

Yang Ye smiled, a meaningful smile. "I believe it. Why don't you believe it?"

The curvature of Gu Liang's mouth disappeared, he watched Yang Ye quietly for a moment, then walked around him, and walked straight to the backyard, "You live next door to me? Let's go and have breakfast. We have an hour."

"So...you really forgot everything." Yang Ye followed Gu Liang and walked into the yard, "You also forgot what happened yesterday."

"Yesterday? What happened yesterday?" Gu Liang looked back at Yang Ye, inexplicably feeling that his gaze was very meaningful.

"Before you were killed last night, who did you meet and what did you say, don't you remember?" Yang Ye asked him.

Gu Liang shook his head. "If it was when he was killed, there must be no time to keep a diary. I don't remember."

Yang Ye casually took out the small diary from his pocket and flipped through it casually. "My diary is for nothing, because I haven't forgotten anything. By the way, where is your diary? Shall we check it to see if there are any details that can't be closed?"

Gu Liang walked forward without looking back, and said calmly: "I put my diary in the bedroom. It's okay, you can tell me later, and I'll check it. I read it, memorized it, and I remember it all."

Hearing this, Yang Ye stopped in his tracks.

He stared at Gu Liang's back in silence for a while, and then he caught up with him in a few strides, walked in front of him, and led him all the way to the small dining room on the second floor of the shroud shop.

Breakfast was already set on the small dining table.

Gu Liang took the glass of water from Yang Ye and sat down slowly.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Gu Liang remembered a sentence he wrote in his diary - "The steamed pork ribs made by Yang Ye are delicious."

So Gu Liang asked Yang Ye. "By the way, do you still know how to steam pork ribs?"

"Yeah. At noon yesterday, you, I, and Senior Sister Feng had dinner together. Senior Sister Feng was played by Li Xiaoyu. Why..."

Yang Ye thought of something interesting and smiled. "You still wrote this in your diary?"

Gu Liang nodded and replied honestly: "Maybe the taste is too good. Unfortunately, I completely forgot what it was like."

"What a pity. I'll make it for you after the case is over," Yang Ye said.

Gu Liang paused when he heard this.

He asked Yang Ye: "You really remember everything, you never died?"

Yang Ye shook his head: "No. I came back at 8:8 p.m. on August 10. I went to visit relatives before. Then I either witnessed or heard about many murders. But I was basically a bystander."

"So, only your time is right. We all have wrong time. We have to rely on your time to judge who is the murderer."

Gu Liang looked at Yang Yedao, "You are a detective. You didn't run away."

Yang Ye took a bite of the steamed bun he steamed, and said, "Yes."

You are the detective and I am the murderer.

If I am identified by everyone, I will die.

If I escape, you will die.

Anyway... It seems that I can't eat steamed pork ribs anymore.

Gu Liang paused when he scooped up steamed eggs.

Yang Ye stood up to serve another bowl of porridge, looked down at Gu Liang condescendingly, and happened to notice his movement.

"What's wrong Gu Liang?" Yang Ye asked him.

"It's nothing." Gu Liang looked up at him, scooped the egg into his own bowl, and took a small spoon to eat it. "This Shaozi steamed egg is delicious. The minced meat is fried differently from the last time you made noodles."

Yang Ye gave up the action of serving porridge, and pulled a chair to sit in front of Gu Liang. "You're weird. What happened to you?"

"It's nothing." Gu Liang said, "I guess it's the sequelae of too many times of amnesia. I'm a little dizzy."

"Okay—" Yang Ye took out his notebook, "Why don't we review the case together before the one-hour break?"

"Okay." Gu Liang nodded.

If so, Yang Ye told Gu Liang everything he saw and heard in this script, including when he dug up Gu Liang's body, saw him for the first time in this script, and saw Ding Beggar and Feng Huan together. All the scenes of the dead body of the senior sister.

Gu Liang didn't show any expression after listening. "Well, it's the same as what I wrote in my diary, no problem."

Yang Ye looked into his eyes and said: "The only thing I don't know is what you said alone when you brought Beggar Ding back to the coffin shop that day, and what you did alone in the coffin shop that afternoon. Is there any secret hidden in the coffin shop? ?”

Gu Liang paused, and replied, "I don't remember either."

Yang Ye propped his elbows on the armrest of the seat, propped his chin to look at Gu Liang, propped up his legs all the way, sitting in a very dignified posture, and his eyes were somewhat scrutinizing.

"Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?" Gu Liang asked him.

Yang Ye just asked back: "Gu Liang, I want to ask, in your eyes, what kind of person am I?"

"The first impression is not very good. The rich second-generation business elite with flamboyant style is not quite four or six, and is also quite cunning."

Gu Liang glanced at Yang Ye and found that his expression was very serious, so he straightened his attitude and replied, "But later... I think you are quite reliable. You are a good person, generous and enthusiastic, and good at handling interpersonal relationships. Take care of those around you.”

"Besides, under your seemingly frivolous appearance, you have a sense of righteousness in your bones. You said you were a soldier, so I can understand how this temperament came about."

Gu Liang was telling the truth.

Perhaps most of the players in this game have committed crimes, even including Xun Feng, who may have done something wrong by accident.

But Gu Liang always felt that Yang Ye was different, as if he broke in by accident.

Even if he has a problem, it may only be similar to the extent that his company missed a certain part of the tax.

"Since this is the case..."

Yang Ye's speaking speed became very slow, and his tone became very heavy. At the same time, he looked at Gu Liang without blinking, as if he didn't want to let go of any micro expression on his face.

"Gu Liang, can you choose to believe me?"

From the first time he saw Yang Ye in the morning, Gu Liang had doubts in his heart.

Hearing him say this now, Gu Liang can almost confirm that he may have suspected that he is the murderer.

How is he so smart?

After a while, Gu Liang slowly swallowed a mouthful of egg custard, wiped his mouth, and said to Yang Ye, "Well, I will think about it."

After breakfast, Gu Liang and Yang Ye opened the door of the shroud shop together. There were two acquaintances waiting outside the door. It seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time—it was Li Xiaoyu, and Liu who had played Brother Bai and now played Li BBQ. Of course.

Yang Ye asked them in surprise. "Why are you here?"

"I lost my memory, but fortunately I kept a diary. The most important sentence in my diary is that Yang Ye is a detective, and I must be looking for you."

Having said that, Li Xiaoyu glanced back and forth between Yang Ye and Gu Liang. "You two came out together...did you sleep together last night?"

"No." Gu Liang replied seriously.

Yang Ye thought he wanted to explain something, but Gu Liang immediately said, "But is it important?"

"It's not important, it has nothing to do with the plot." Yang Ye put Gu Liang's shoulder and said to Li Xiaoyu, "We slept together in the last script. Do you have any opinions?"

Li Xiaoyu: "(〃'▽'〃)"

Liu Ran coughed a few times on the side, and then said: "I live in the barbecue stall opposite, I just met this... Senior Feng, I chatted with her for a while, and heard that she knew the detective, so I wanted to come here together, I didn't expect I met acquaintances. Yang Ye, I can see... oh yes, and Gu Liang, I am very happy to see you again."

Gu Liang thought about it, he probably just wanted to say that he was very happy to see Yang Ye, after all Gu Liang knew that he was not easy to get along with.

It's just that Liu Ran was embarrassed, so he brought himself along to praise.

Liu Ran added another sentence. "This script, I was completely confused. Anyway... how did this investigation start, you tell me."

Yang Ye said: "There are 7 characters in this script, but doesn't the card say there is an NPC in it? Who do you think it is?"

Gu Liang answered first: "My diary said that I suspected it was Beggar Ding. His acting skills are too natural. But I have amnesia, I don't remember."

Yang Yedao: "Your diary is not wrong. I also suspect that Beggar Ding is an NPC. He chatted with you that afternoon, and I watched him. His state is definitely not staged by players. So, throw away Beggar Ding, and the rest There are 6 players, except for the one who played the role of Principal Cha, we have never met before, and the others are all acquaintances, which is easy to handle. Now we have all 4 acquaintances, and only Xun Feng—"

"I'm here." Saying this, Xun Feng walked from the direction of the apartment building.

Walking up to everyone, he said again: "I originally came to look for Gu Liang first. I didn't expect you all to be here. As for Principal Zha, I met him when I went downstairs just now. He said that he first went to the playground to move his own corpse." . Otherwise, all of us will find out all the corpses together first."

"Yes, I wrote it down in my notebook. There are neighbor Liu's corpses in the coffin shop. There should be two more." Li Xiaoyu said.

Hearing this, Liu Ran took the lead to walk towards the coffin shop. "Then just start searching from here."

Li Xiaoyu took a step back. "There are coffins inside, it's a bit scary, you go in first. I'll follow behind."

Yang Ye's expression became serious, and his jawline suddenly tightened.

But soon, he returned to normal, and walked to the back door of the coffin shop first. "Let's go. Search together."

There were Gu Liang, Yang Ye, Xun Feng and Liu Ran, four big men, working together, they quickly opened the row of coffins near the back door.

In this way, everyone quickly found two corpses.

The two corpses belonged to neighbor Liu, and they looked exactly the same in appearance and method of death—purple lips and smiling faces.

After carrying the two corpses to the open space in front of the main entrance of the coffin shop, Liu Ran wiped his sweat and said, "Let's open up the other coffins as well, shall we? Although both corpses have been found, there may be other coffins. What other clues are hidden in the coffin?"

After Liu Ran said this, Yang Ye subconsciously looked at Gu Liang.

Gu Liang leaned against the main entrance of the coffin shop, with one leg slightly bent, standing in a very leisurely posture, with a very calm expression.

As if sensing Yang Ye's gaze, Gu Liang raised his chin and met Yang Ye's gaze.

The breeze swept over, and even the hair on the forehead slid across Gu Liang's eyebrows.His brown pupils were indifferent and distant.

Yang Ye quickly looked away and turned to face Liu Ran. "The free exploration time is only two hours in total, and there are still many places that I haven't seen. There are too many coffins in the coffin shop, and it's a waste of time for everyone to open the coffins here. Just leave it to me here. I think I'm here. Best. I can do it all by myself."
