Live Action Murder Mystery

The scene at this moment is a bit awkward and funny in its weirdness.

——There is no one in the mirror, but there is a bed sheet suspended in mid-air out of thin air.

And the sheets were still covered in blood.

After being stunned for three seconds, Gu Liang's first reaction was to pull the sheet back from Li Xiaoyu's hands.

"Don't worry about it. This is the evidence stipulated by the system. I tried to shuffle it, and the card will send a violation warning."

"Fuck, it's too scary!"

Li Xiaoyu's face turned pale with fright, and she didn't dare to look in the mirror at all. When she turned around and saw Yang Ye and Gu Liang were still by her side, she let out a long breath. "What... what's going on here?"

"The matter has come to this, at least in front of you, I don't need to hide anything."

Gu Liang pointed to the blood on the bed sheet in his hand, "The point of this clue is actually very simple, that is, I was bitten by a vampire. This is my branch line. What about you? Why are you also a vampire?"

"Vampire? No, I'm not." Li Xiaoyu looked at Gu Liang in a daze, "I don't understand."

After a while.In the room where the actor Ming lived.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Xiaoyu looked up and saw the oppressive gazes of Yang Ye and Gu Liang.

"Fuck, two brothers, I really don't know what's going on. When have I lied to you? I can't be fooled either."

"I went to the bathroom on the terrace yesterday, and there is me in the mirror."

At this moment, Gu Liang thought of something, picked up the card and looked at it, it showed that the time was 6:[-] pm.

They had an hour and a half to explore.

According to the setting, his transformation period should have ended at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

He is still in the transformation period, between 6 pm and 7 pm, he should have been in human form.

He is clearly still a human being, why can't the mirror reflect his appearance?

So, is it possible that Li Xiaoyu really didn't lie, she really didn't know what was going on with her?

Gu Liang couldn't help asking her: "What's going on with you this morning? Why do you think Boss Mei is your fiancé?"

Li Xiaoyu pouted for a while, then narrowed her eyes, as if lost in memory.

After a while, she said, "I was walking in a thick fog, and I couldn't even see the road. I checked the time, and it was 8:[-] in the morning. I just vaguely remember a few things. First, my daughter disappeared, and I I came here to find my daughter, I should have come by car."

"Second, it is rumored that this castle is a bit evil. There may be vampires. I have to pay attention and try to avoid looking in the mirror. If I appear in front of the mirror with other vampires, they will know that I am human. I may Get eaten by them."

"Thirdly, I should have a fiancé. He should have that kind of... Monastic temperament? He looks good, I have to find him. But, based on the possibility of vampires and the surrounding fog is too thick Because of this, I didn't dare to go far, I only dared to take a stroll in the nearby vegetable garden, and at 8:40, I met Boss Mei. When I saw him, I could feel that he was my fiance."

Sensitively aware of something, Gu Liang asked her: "So, you are not sure that he is your fiancé? It seems that your memory also has problems?"

Li Xiaoyu looked at Gu Liang, nodded and said, "It seems so."

Gu Liang thought of a certain key point and asked, "Ai's girlfriend is your daughter, do you know when her birthday is?"

Li Xiaoyu shook her head. "really do not know."

Gu Liang asked again: "When did she meet Rong Mingyuan? What color does she like, what food does she like to eat? Which university did she go to? Do you know?"

Li Xiaoyu continued to shake her head: "I don't know... I don't know at all."

After a pause, Li Xiaoyu said again: "I only know one thing. I also met that mysterious man today."

Gu Liang asked her: "When did you meet?"

Li Xiaoyu said: "3 o'clock in the afternoon. I put on makeup in the room. He told me that I look good, and he also wished me happiness, and he hoped that his ending would be the same as mine."

"It's not just me." Li Xiaoyu said again, "I just met Su Lan. She said that she also met this mysterious man. She met him at 2:[-]. In her room."

"Then what did he say to Su Lan?" Gu Liang asked.

Li Xiaoyu said: "'That's great, I'm so glad it wasn't my daughter who killed her. Otherwise, this kind of thing is really difficult. Even if she is my daughter, I might teach her a lesson,' what he said probably It's something like that."

Therefore, everyone has actually seen the mysterious man today.

Gu Liang met him in the rose garden at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Lan met him in the room at 2:[-].

Li Xiaoyu met at 3 o'clock, also in the room on the sixth floor.

It seems that the last person to meet him was Yang Ye, who saw him in the room at 3:[-].

Seeing that both Yang Ye and Gu Liang were lost in thought, Li Xiaoyu tentatively asked, "Then shall I go to other places to search for evidence?"

"Yeah." Gu Liang said to her, "Don't tell others about the fact that I was bitten by a vampire. If there is a vote for this branch line, you can just know it yourself. Understand?"

"Understood. I understand very well." Li Xiaoyu made an "OK" gesture.

Gu Liang asked again: "What did you go to the back garden at 5 o'clock today?"

Li Xiaoyu said: "I suddenly remembered that the bride should prepare a bouquet. I went. I picked roses first, and then I wanted to go to the sunflower garden. I went, but I came across two corpses."

Gu Liang asked her: "Did you like sunflowers before?"

Li Xiaoyu shook her head: "No. But these days, I like sunflowers more and more. It's an inexplicable feeling."

Li Xiaoyu left to search for evidence elsewhere.

After a while, Gu Liang and Yang Ye also left the room together.

In the corridor, the two met Sister Mei and Boss Mei.

Gu Liang temporarily stopped them. "Excuse me, have you two seen the other dead person today, that mysterious man?"

Boss Mei: "I've seen it."

Gu Liang asked again: "What time?"

Boss Mei said: "It was when I was with you. When sister Mei and I went to pick flowers together, I saw you and him in the rose garden. I didn't hear what he said to you at that time."

"Haven't you met alone?" Gu Liang looked at Sister Mei again, "What about you?"

Both of them shook their heads. "No, I never saw him alone except the time in the Rose Garden."

Saying goodbye to Boss Mei and Sister Mei, Yang Ye and Gu Liang searched on the sixth floor, and went to the discussion room on the second floor first.

During the second phase of the discussion, they brought over a lot of evidence, including the silver crosses that were seized from the oriental warlock and the servant's room.

Now two boxes of crosses are placed on the table, and the boxes are both open.

The two people counted, and indeed two crosses were missing.

After confirming that the two murder weapons should have been taken from here, the two sat down to rest for a while, planning to have some discussions here first.

Gu Liang flipped through the small notebook he carried with him, stroked a few times with a pen, and said to Yang Ye: "Now there are three main problems."

"First, your suspicion is very high, and you may be the target of the focus of attack during the centralized discussion."

"Second, the identities of the two deceased determine when the murder occurred."

"Third, what is going on in this illusion, and what is the true identity of each of us."

"Are there any supplements?"

Yang Ye shook his head: "No. For the time being, these three main issues."

Gu Liang: "Okay, let's talk about the first question first. Judging from Mr. Rong's diary, he wanted to kill you, but he was the one who died. You may kill him instead."

"Again, for that mysterious man, it seems that you are the last person to see him. You are still very suspicious."

Yang Ye nodded: "Yes. Understood. I will find a way to clear myself of the suspicion. But the premise is to figure out this illusion and the murderer's motive for killing."

Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye: "Then let's talk about the second question. Do you think these two deceased—"

Yang Ye said, "I don't think either of them is a vampire."

"If it's a vampire, they need a cross in the heart for 3 to 5 hours before they die. Both bodies were found at 5 o'clock in the evening. The incident happened at least 5pm."

"First rule out that the mysterious man is a vampire, because I saw him at 3:[-] in the afternoon."

"Secondly, I think Mr. Rong can also be ruled out."

"300 years ago, Ai Meili didn't call for help. After our judgment, she wanted to use her own death plan. But Mr. Rong shouldn't have such a situation."

"If Mr. Rong is a vampire, even if he is pierced on a cross, he can still live if he calls for help in time. We haven't seen any traces of binding on him. He should not be under control. So I tend to Yu believed that he was not a vampire. The heart was stabbed, resulting in his immediate death."

"Okay, then—"

Gu Liang was about to write something when he heard Yang Ye say, "But I don't think they are necessarily human."

Gu Liang actually understood what Yang Ye meant.

He frowned, opened the book, went to a blank page, re-wrote the names of each player, and decided to sort it out from the beginning.

While sorting out, Gu Liang said: "Ladies and housekeepers, Yu Zhanan, Mei Design, Ai's best friend, chef, this is November 11th. When this story first started, we knew the six people who died."

"Yes. I think the dead can be divided into three categories."

Yang Yedao, "I agree with your previous inference, that is, after 11 o'clock in the morning on November 9th, we were all in some kind of illusion. The chef died after 8 o'clock, which belongs to the scene in the illusion. In reality, he may Doesn't exist. So he's in a separate category from the other five."

"The other five people can be divided into two categories. But there is a prerequisite for this classification. I want to see what you mean first."

Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang, "Why do you think the bodies of the three of them are not there? This should be different from the case of Boss Rong."

Gu Liangdao: "Boss Rong is the real deceased in this case. According to common sense, he will die completely like the deceased in other scripts. But Meng Qiancheng, the actor who played the role of Boss Rong, used the [Handed down Reincarnation Card], the body will be disappear."

"The disappearance of this corpse is not what the script stipulated. It can be understood as an 'unexpected' situation, so the system made a separate explanation."

"These three corpses are different. The system didn't make any special instructions. Then, their disappearance itself is a clue given to us by the system."

"That's all right. I agree with you on that."

"I will continue the classification just now."

Yang Yedao, "The other five players are divided into two categories, one is socialites and butlers, their bodies are on the west street, but they have no identity in the new story, that is, in this illusion. The two of them , can be regarded as completely dead."

"The other category is Yu, Mei and Ai. The bodies of the three of them do not exist, but their faces appear in this story, but they each have new identities. They think they are Earl William, Princess Rose and Mama Ai."

Yang Ye used the word "thought" very accurately.

Gu Liang thought for a moment, then said, "Agreed."

Gu Liang added a colon to the end of each player's name, and said: "Assuming no one is lying, we can sort it out like this-you think you are Earl William, but you don't remember that you love Princess Rose, and you don't know who you are. The real reason for coming to the castle. So you are not really Earl William."

"Su Lan thought she was Princess Rose, and she also remembered that she had murderous intentions towards Ai Meili, but she couldn't remember whether she had done anything. On the day Ai Meili died, judging from the clues 300 years ago, Rose went to find her. Ai Meili stayed there twice for a total of 2 and a half hours, but she didn't remember this incident at all, nor did she remember what she had said to Ai Meili."

"So, she's not really Princess Rose."

"Similarly, Li Xiaoyu thought she was Ai's mother. But she didn't even know when Ai's best friend was born. There is no such thing as a fiance. So she is not really Ai's mother."

After Gu Liang finished writing this, he put down his pen and looked at Yang Ye, "After analyzing the previous deceased, let's talk about the players in this story. In fact, they can be divided into three categories for the time being."

Yang Ye thought for a while and said, "Yes. The first category is me, Su Lan, and Li Xiaoyu. We have died and then we have a new identity. At least we think we have a new identity."

"The second category is you and Boss Rong. At present, at the beginning of the story, you have not died, and you have inherited the roles of the previous script."

"The third category is Boss Mei and Sister Mei. They are wanted criminals. They clearly know their real identities. Their current identities are completely disguised."

"Yes, the story of Boss Mei and Sister Mei is relatively clear."

Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye, "The strangest thing now is you, Su Lan and Li Xiaoyu. For some reason we don't know yet, the three of you 'resurrected from the dead' in the illusion, and thought that each of you had a new identity."

"Li Xiaoyu thought she was Ai's mother, so she called her Ai's mother. But you are different from Su Lan. You think you are a vampire. You don't want to be known, so you disguised yourself like those two wanted criminals."

"But they are also disguised. She is a dream tourist. Why are you a 'question mark character'?"

"I think this is the system reducing the difficulty."

Yang Yedao, "The only difference between me and Su Lan, I think, is that the system designed her identity for her at the beginning. For example, Su Lan's script may say, 'You can't be known as a vampire, and you can't be known by others. Killed someone, so you're disguised as a dream tourist'."

"Hmm. It's possible. I see why the system did it."

Gu Liangdao, "Su Lan's character has killed the chef. Through deduction, it can be deduced from the murderer who killed the chef that she is a vampire, so the system can give her the identity of a 'dream tourist'."

"But there are no other incidents or clues on your side, allowing everyone to determine your identity. In order to reduce the difficulty, the system did not help you identify it. It is equivalent to directly telling everyone that you are a vampire."

"Actually, thinking about it one step further... I think this 'question mark' can be regarded as a hidden hint of the system."

Yang Yedao, "It's the same as it has hidden the hint in the title many times before. This time it hides the hint in the character's name—in fact, the real identities of me, Su Lan, and Li Xiaoyu are all It's a question mark."

After a while, Gu Liang nodded and said, "I agree."

Focus on the discussion room, brightly lit.

Yang Ye was thinking, and Gu Liang was taking notes.

The cooperation between the two seems to be very tacit.

For a moment, the room was very quiet, only the sound of the pen in Gu Liang's hand scratching across the white paper.

After a while, Gu Liang temporarily put down his pen and saw Yang Ye stand up.

After seeing Yang Ye condescendingly looking down at him for a moment, he sat beside him, raised his hand, and touched his neckline with his fingertips, and then he moved his whole face closer.

He was so close that he could even hear his breathing clearly.

Gu Liang subconsciously leaned back. "what are you doing?"

Yang Ye looked up at him. "It's you who got it wrong this time."

Gu Liang: "..."

Smiling, Yang Ye said, "I just suddenly thought of a question and wanted to see your scar."

Gu Liang: "The one you bit on the neck?"

"Yeah." Yang Ye asked him, "Will you show me?"

"..." Gu Liang said, "What can't be seen here?"

After asking this sentence, Gu Liang remembered what Yang Ye said before, the fallacy that touching the neck is equal to kissing.

So, Gu Liang, who didn't feel anything at first, felt a strange feeling in his heart this time, which was similar to awkwardness, but he didn't think it could be called awkwardness.

Especially now that Yang Ye has started to unbutton his collar.

Yang Ye lowered his head and was very close, the distance that Gu Liang's head almost kissed his face.

In fact, this process was very short, but Gu Liang inexplicably felt that it took a long time before Yang Ye finally untied his neckline.

Yang Ye really didn't have any distracting thoughts at the moment, he really felt very strange.

——At this moment, Gu Liang's neck is white and clean, without any scars, it is like white jade, it doesn't look like it has been bitten at all.

"How?" Gu Liang asked.

Yang Ye frowned. "It doesn't look like it's been bitten at all."

Gu Liang raised his eyelids and looked at him: "This is very wrong. I have a strange feeling."

"Maybe, it's not just the three of you who are not who you think."

"I'm not the star actor I thought I was."

"It's possible... In fact, all of us are 'question mark characters'."

Yang Ye frowned slightly, and said, "There is a possibility. Do you still remember, after the first round of voting, our two analyzes on Boss Rong?"

"Remember." Gu Liang said, "You said Mr. Rong's voting was strange. He might be playing against logic. At that time, we thought that there were three vampires, William, Dahl and Rose. At that time, everyone only found you and Su Lan. There is one left, you think it is Mr. Rong."

"I still think I was right in my judgment."

"It stands to reason that Mr. Rong knows who Princess Rose is."

"Boss Rong wants to appear to be ignorant, has no basis for judgment, and pretends to be stupid, so in the first round of voting, he casually gave Li Xiaoyu the vote that should have been given to Princess Rose."

"As for the second round of voting, he voted for the person who killed Ai Meili, but instead he voted for Princess Rose, as if deliberately disregarding his relationship with Rose..."

"So, in fact, I still think that he is the Duke of Dar."

"No, correct the statement. From his point of view, he thinks he is the Duke of Dar. Just like I had no doubts at the time, thinking that I was the Earl of William."

Gu Liang thought for a while, picked up the pen again, and lowered his head to record. "Agreed. This point can be mutually confirmed with his diary."

"He thought he was the Duke of Dale. But he saw that you could also send bats or something. He was afraid that you would replace him as the Duke of Dale, and he was afraid that you would take away his mother Ai. So he wanted to kill you. By the way—"

"I want to go see the corpse again!"

Gu Liang thought of some key point and stood up all of a sudden.

He was so engrossed in thinking about the case that he forgot one thing - he and Yang Ye were very close at this time.

Just now Yang Ye came closer to look at the wound on his neck, and then he was immersed in reasoning.

After not looking at Gu Liang's neck, Yang Ye just straightened up again and raised his head, but he forgot to back away.

But because Gu Liang picked up his pen again to record, he kept his head down when he spoke just now.

So, before he stood up, the position between him and Yang Ye was almost the same - Yang Ye's nose was facing his forehead.

So Gu Liang stood up abruptly and bumped into Yang Ye's nose.

"Hiss!" Yang Ye immediately covered his mouth and nose.

Gu Liang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, sat down again, and looked at him with a frown. "Are you all right?"

Yang Ye didn't say anything, he really wanted to see Gu Liangliang's reaction.

Gu Liang raised his hand to hold his wrist, and asked with concern: "Is it bleeding? Show me."

Yang Ye stared into his eyes without saying a word.

Gu Liang asked: "Does it really hurt?"

Yang Ye still didn't speak.

Gu Liang: "I won't be fooled."

Yang Ye's voice sounded muffled because he covered his mouth and nose with his palm. "If your boyfriend is stupid, do you still like him?"

Gu Liang: "Say it as if I like you so much now—"

Yang Ye: "If you don't admit that you like me, then you will recognize my boyfriend anyway."

coming.Again.

Started to keep emphasizing the word "boyfriend" again.

Gu Liang patted his forehead and stood up. "...Besides thinking about the case, you can still set up a trick for me. You idiot, I think you are very clear-headed."

Gu Liang's awkward and embarrassed look made Yang Ye laugh.

Then he continued to tease Gu Liang shamelessly. "Cool cool, it really hurts."

Gu Liang: "Then... before going to the back garden to look at the dead body, go to the kitchen and find ice cubes for you to compress."

Yang Ye: "I don't need ice cubes."

"Then what do you want?"

"Kiss me once and it won't hurt."

"..."

"Then you blow it?"

"Are you in the top class of kindergarten this year?"

"Give me a kiss, and I will admit that I am a small class."

"I really—"

Gu Liang couldn't hold back anymore, and even if he tried to control his facial expressions, Yang Ye really made him laugh.

Regarding Yang Ye's thick skin, he was really willing to bow down.

After about 10 minutes.

Yang Ye and Gu Liang went to the back garden again.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened.

The two of them came to the former vegetable garden and now the sunflower garden with flashlights.

The two searched through the sunflower garden and found that none of the two corpses were there.

Like the three corpses that disappeared in the southern street, the disappearance of this corpse itself meant a clue.

After making certain judgments in their hearts, Gu Liang and Yang Ye quickly returned to the castle.

Passing through the main hall to the lobby, the sound of a piano suddenly came from the air.

The sound of the piano has a thick metallic feel, which is the unique sound of the harpsichord.

And that song, the two of them are also very familiar with it, it is the one that Yang Ye unconsciously played last time.

Yang Ye and Gu Liang glanced at each other, and quickly took the elevator to the piano room on the fourth floor.

The door of the piano room was not closed.

So, when they walked to the door, two people could clearly see that the person sitting in front of the piano and playing the piano intoxicatedly was Li Xiaoyu.
