Live Action Murder Mystery

Hearing Gu Liang's words, Yang Ye turned to a blank page in the notebook, picked up a pen and wrote down a name, and showed it to Gu Liang: "That's right?"

Gu Liang nodded. "That's right."

Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and took the notebook over. "Why? Why sister Mei?"

Gu Liang looked at Li Xiaoyu and explained: "It's still from the logic of the character's action line."

"Boss Rong was misled by the real murderer, thinking that Yang Ye would replace him, so he wanted to kill Yang Ye, and then killed the mysterious man by mistake. You have no doubt about this, right?"

"No." Li Xiaoyu shook her head, "You all have analyzed it clearly."

Gu Liang said again: "Then let's think about it. Boss Rong wanted to kill Yang Ye. It was an accident that he killed the mysterious man and decided to bury the mysterious man's body, right?"

"The real murderer led Mr. Rong to kill, because he gave him a motive to kill, and prompted him to kill."

"But I don't think that the real murderer helped him design the murder method."

After a pause, Gu Liang said: "Besides, before further analysis, I want to revise a statement we just made."

"Boss Rong thought that Yang Ye was sleeping, and wanted to enter the house to stab him in the heart, so he stabbed the mysterious man by mistake. There is no problem here. But we made a mistake just now, and Boss Rong doesn't think his technique can 'one Hit and kill'."

Li Xiaoyu thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, I understand. The reason why Mr. Rong killed people with a cross is because in his eyes, Yang Ye is a vampire, and vampires are afraid of crosses. Mr. Rong doesn't know that this is a dream, no Knowing that piercing the heart will cause the person in the dream to die immediately. Therefore... from the perspective of Mr. Rong, after Yang Ye is pierced, it will take 3 to 5 hours before he dies."

Gu Liang nodded: "Yes, that's exactly it. If a vampire gets a cross in his chest, he won't die immediately, he will just be very weak and lose his mana or something. He may not have the strength to pull out the cross again, but he can still walk, he can still walk call for help."

"Thus, Big Boss Rong, who didn't know that he was dreaming, believed that he and Yang Ye were both vampires. His complete plan should be to stab the cross into Yang Ye's heart first while Yang Ye was sleeping. In this way, Yang Ye As a vampire, although it takes 3 to 5 hours to die, his heart was injured by a cross, and after losing most of his strength, he is very weak. The big boss can tie him up, gag his mouth, etc. He hid for hours where no one could find him."

Speaking of this, Gu Liang asked Li Xiaoyu, "If you were Mr. Rong, where would you hide Yang Ye?"

Li Xiaoyu thought for a while, and said, "If I... gag him and hide him in the closet, it would be a better choice. The wedding is at 8 o'clock in the evening. Before the wedding, the bride and groom can't meet each other, so you are We won't come to him, and the rest of us have no plan to look for him, everyone has their own responsibilities in the afternoon, and we discussed it together at noon, so Boss Rong also knows."

"Boss Rong made the move around 3:8. When everyone found the groom was away at [-]:[-] p.m., when they went to his room to look for him, they wouldn't think of opening the closet. Even if they opened the closet, at that time, Yang Ye should already dead."

"Yes. Exactly."

Gu Liangdao, "Boss Rong stared at the corridor for a long time, and decided to make a move at 3:[-], but at this time, the sixth floor is not completely deserted, you and I are still on the sixth floor. If he brings Yang Ye out, You and I may bump into each other."

"If he jumps off the sixth floor with Yang Ye and finds a place to hide in the back garden, he may be caught by others. At noon, he heard that everyone will go to the back garden to pick flowers and decorate the main hall in the afternoon. He doesn't know for sure that everyone will go to the back garden time."

"Finally, as a vampire, Yang Ye's mana was sealed by the cross, but he was not completely unable to move. Back then, Ai Meili was still able to attend the banquet normally wearing a cross. Then, if Mr. Rong took Yang Ye out rashly, what if he broke free? Whatever comes, it is always prone to accidents."

"On the whole, it's not safe for Mr. Rong to take Yang Ye through the corridor, hide in other parts of the castle, or take him to jump off the building to the back garden."

"The most convenient way is to tie Yang Ye up and cover his mouth, or with more violence, knock him out, hide him in a closet, and wait for 3 to 5 hours before he dies."

"But Boss Rong didn't expect an accident to happen. He accidentally killed the mysterious person. At this moment, he realized that the real Yang Ye was taking a bath and might come out at any time. As long as he yelled, the rest of the people on the sixth floor would be lured away." Come."

"Boss Rong doesn't care too much, so he can only jump off the building with the mysterious man first, and then go to the sunflower garden."

"After jumping off the building, I think he should wait and see to see if there are people around temporarily. When he found that there was no one for the time being, he took the mysterious person to the farthest sunflower garden. After all, even if someone came to pick flowers in the back garden halfway The chances of going to the rose garden and the sunflower garden are relatively small."

"The chance of everyone coming to the Sunflower Garden is small, and the chance of him being discovered is small. Therefore, although there are risks, he has no choice but to go to Sunflower to bury the body first, or just throw the body there."

Li Xiaoyu thought for a while, then nodded. "Well, let me add, in Yang Ye's room, the moment he killed someone, he should have closed the door immediately, otherwise he might be caught. Then he found out that he killed the wrong person. At this time, he was quite nervous First of all, he didn't dare to re-open the door to go to the corridor rashly, because he was afraid of bumping into you and me."

"He can't confirm the status in the corridor. But he can confirm the situation outside the balcony. He saw that there was no one under the balcony, so he jumped down with the corpse first."

"Again, it's actually a bit of the lesser of two evils. The back garden is big, and there are many places to go after jumping off the building. Even if someone bumps into his back, he still has room for change. After all, his clothes are similar to Yang Ye's." .”

Gu Liang nodded: "That's exactly what it means. Mr. Rong killed the mysterious person by mistake and caused an 'accident'. This 'accident' caused Mr. Rong to jump off the building with the corpse. After jumping, Mr. Rong waited and watched, and finally chose to go to the sunflower garden ..."

"And this 'accident', and the aftermath it triggered, must not have been expected by the murderer, right?"

Gu Liang looked at Li Xiaoyu, and continued: "I said just now that the real murderer must have just led Mr. Rong to kill, but he did not help him design the killing method. What I can say now is that even if he helped Mr. Rong decide The method of killing, or if he guessed what Boss Rong would do, he must not have been able to predict this accident."

Li Xiaoyu reacted for a while, patted the table, and said excitedly: "I understand!"

"Whether it's Boss Mei or Sister Mei, in the afternoon, they made an appointment with each other to do things together, and they also made an appointment with Su Lan to arrange the venue together. They thought it was very difficult to have a chance to kill, so they didn't expect it at first. I will do it. The real murder of Boss Rong... It was actually an accident!"

"Correct."

Gu Liangdao, "When Boss Mei went to the lobby to look for something, he was really looking for something. First, he didn't know when Boss Rong would attack, so he was unlikely to help Boss Rong make a murder plan; second, Even if he manages to help Boss Rong make a detailed plan, he can't predict that Boss Rong killed the wrong person."

"Therefore, when he was looking for antiques in the lobby, it was impossible for him to think that Boss Rong would go to the Sunflower Garden at this time, so there was no reason to rush there to kill him, and then rush back to the lobby, pretending nothing happened."

"Then, only sister Mei is left. I think that when she first went to the back garden, she really went to pick flowers. She only went to the rose garden at the beginning, until she heard something, she gently Walk towards the place where there is movement."

"Then she walked to the sunflower garden, saw Mr. Rong, thought it was a good time, and killed him with a cross."

"She was born as a mercenary, even in her dreams, she will never forget her fighting skills, plus she may be the sneak attacking Boss Rong... She can easily stab the cross into Boss Rong's chest, so it shouldn't be difficult. "

"As for when she prepared the cross..."

Gu Liang thought for a while and said, "I think, during the period from November 11th to November 9th, after she realized that she was dreaming, when she knew that illusions can create dreams, and that piercing her heart can kill the dreamer, she Thinking that something like a cross was just in hand, I went to take one and put it on my body, just in case.”

"If I'm wrong about this, it doesn't matter. The point is, the 'accident' caused by Mr. Rong's killing of the wrong person is unpredictable for the real murderer. Therefore, the real murderer went to Sunflower to kill, which is actually an 'accident'."

"From this point of view, the only possibility is Sister Mei."

"No problem." Li Xiaoyu said, "The real culprit is Sister Beautiful!"

"But—" Gu Liang glanced sideways and met Yang Ye's gaze beside him, "From which angle did you lock her?"

Yang Ye smiled: "My idea is quite simple."

"You are very simple and direct every time, you don't need to restore the case to think of—"

Gu Liang looked at him, "I would like to hear more about it."

Yang Ye first asked him, "What do you think of Boss Mei, a player?"

"The logic is clear, very smart and organized." Gu Liang said, "So, he can be regarded as a player who can play, and he is more active...offensive."

"Yes, if he gets the murderer, he won't choose such a passive play."

Yang Yedao, "Assuming that I'm the boss of the United States, and I'm the murderer... With Yang Ye being so suspicious of the player, I will definitely lie on the timeline and try to trample him to death."

Gu Liang thought for a while and understood.

But Li Xiaoyu didn't understand.

Yang Ye faced her and explained. "Think about it, when you doubted me just now, how did I shirk?"

Li Xiaoyu recalled for a while, and said: "We suspect that you are the murderer, first kill the mysterious man, then kill the boss, throw them downstairs, you jump off the building again, and then carry them to the sunflower garden."

"You asked me back, if you know that you will not die by jumping off the building, then you must know that you are dreaming. But Yu Zhanan is already dead, he will not be conscious. This is contradictory."

Yang Ye nodded: "That's right."

"So, now suppose you are my role as the earl. I am the boss of the United States. Suppose I am the murderer."

Yang Ye continued to say to Li Xiaoyu, "If I analyze you to the point that you followed the two corpses and jumped directly from the sixth floor when the case is restored, this will cause other players to generate—is there any 'you already The possibility of awakening self-awareness'. You can easily refute it with the reason that Yu Scumbag is dead."

"If I was a smart enough murderer, I should have expected this. After all, I realized early on that this was a dream, and I was the first to awaken myself."

"So, when I talk about the timeline, it's enough to kill one thing—that is, when I was looking for antiques in the lobby for decoration, I saw you go downstairs and go outside the castle."

"In this way, everyone can speculate that you went from the outer circle to the corresponding place under the balcony to carry the corpse."

"As for whether you admit it or not, it doesn't matter, because from everyone's point of view, you can lie."

Yang Ye adjusted his glasses, and said, "Let's talk about the back garden. In the Sunflower Garden, you may be able to see the balcony of Yu Zhanan's room on the sixth floor. But you can't see it from the Rose Garden, and it's not in the same direction."

"Sister Mei went to the back garden. If she said that she had been to the sunflower garden and saw me jumping off the building and carrying the dead body, it would actually increase her suspicion. She dared not mention that she had been to the sunflower garden at all. She is at great risk."

"She can only say that she is in the Rose Garden. In the Rose Garden, I can't see my balcony. So she has no room to lie."

"Thus, on the whole, if Boss America is the murderer, he can lie about the timeline. Everyone will lie and argue for matters of life and death. I don't think he dares to compete with me in public."

"On the premise that he didn't lie, the possibility of him being the murderer is very small."

Li Xiaoyu clapped her hands and gave Yang Ye and Gu Liang a thumbs up. "Understood!"

Yang Ye picked up the mineral water and drank the remaining half of the bottle. "My point of view is relatively simple and direct, but there are actually loopholes. In fact, no matter whether Earl William jumped off the building or took the elevator when disposing of the body after killing someone, as long as he killed someone, it means that his behavior has violated the Duke's rule." The dreamer's thoughts changed. This means that another person gave the earl the consciousness of killing, which is the same as the reason why Mr. Rong tried to kill the earl."

"Then, if Boss Mei is the murderer, he forged the timeline, killed me and went down the stairs, and might go outside to dispose of the body. I also have a way to refute him, that is, even if I kill someone, I am not the real murderer. Really wake up The real culprit is the person who came here, consciously, and stimulated me to kill someone against the Duke's will."

"In this way, even if the boss of the United States fabricates a timeline that is extremely unfavorable to me, I can use this reason to dismiss myself."

"That's what I call a loophole."

"In the case that Boss America is the real culprit, if he is smart enough, he can forge the timeline. But if he is too smart, so smart that he can think of this reason that I can refute him when we first focus on the discussion, Then he won't actually lie on the timeline. Because he knows that even if he lied on the timeline, he can't kill me, the earl, so the meaning of his lying is not very big, and the risk is relatively increased."

"Therefore, Boss Mei didn't lie on the timeline. There are two possibilities. First, he is not the murderer; second, he is the murderer, but he is too smart, thinking very far-reaching from the beginning, thinking that there is no need for him to take risks. lie."

Yang Ye concluded: "I think the second possibility is relatively small. Because it means that in a short period of time, he can figure out all the logic of Gu Liangpan and me, and predict all possibilities. .”

"He's smart, but not too smart, so I tend to think he's not the killer."

"The method I'm talking about is very simple, but it's not [-]% sure."

"Just, if you add the logic that Gu Liang said just now, the murderer is Sister Mei, and she didn't run away."

After discussing the case, the three people in the lounge fell into a moment of silence.

Li Xiaoyu looked at the two of them, and said slowly: "The three of us vote for Sister Mei. Among Su Lan and the boss of Mei, as long as there is one more person to convince, we will be stable as good people."

Yang Ye and Gu Liang didn't speak for a while.

Li Xiaoyu actually more or less guessed the reason for their silence.

If they are facing a villain, they can directly expose his lies, or deal with him together, just like Principal Cha in "The Immortal City".

But the experience of the previous script told them that at this stage, murderers and accomplices are no longer necessarily villains.Besides, Sister Mei has no grievances or enmities with everyone, and she is another girl...

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly not a pleasant thing to debunk her directly during the centralized discussion, or to persuade someone to vote for her.

"In short...if Sister Mei hasn't done anything evil, it's possible that she...is fine, right? Maybe she will transform into an NPC?"

Li Xiaoyu rested her chin, sighed softly, and stood up. "I'm going to check on Su Lan and Boss Mei respectively, and have a chat with them."

In the next period of time, Li Xiaoyu talked with Su Lan and Boss Mei, and the few of them followed the logic quietly, and everyone basically locked the murderer on Sister Mei.

The few of them have sorted out the timeline of the two days in detail. In fact, there is also the possibility that sister Mei chats with Mr. Rong alone and tricks him into killing people.

During this period, Gu Liang thoroughly read the warlock's book, and then confirmed one more point.

——"A powerful dreamer creates dreams, which can affect people within a certain range and bring their consciousness into the dream. They have their own memories, but under the influence of the dreamer, their actions will be shaped. The dreamer pulls."

"However, when a living person enters a dream, there is a possibility of self-awareness awakening. Therefore, I especially remind dreamers that it is best not to dream in a place where there are living people, otherwise it may cause the dream to collapse and produce unpredictable consequences."

This can explain why Ming actor, Mr. Rong, Mei Boss and Mei sister have these four living people who can also enter the dream. They have their own memories about reality, but their subsequent behaviors and stories with other characters are according to It came from the duke's idea.

This also means that their reasoning is not wrong.

After excluding people who are alive in reality, between Meijiejie and Meiboss, you can only choose Meijie.

5 hours of discussion time is over.

The system broadcast sounded: "Ding dong. It's 10 o'clock in the evening. We are about to usher in the "Folding Castle" case, the final voting, and reward settlement. Are you ready, players?"

"For the rewards of the first two stages, we will settle them at the end. After all...if everyone casts the wrong vote and all five good people receive death punishment, the previous rewards don't have to be settled, hee hee."

"Then, let's start the final stage of voting!"

"From the afternoon of November 11th, everyone saw a person they had never seen before. Let's call him [Question Mark Character No. 11]."

"At 5 o'clock this evening, [Question Mark No. 2] and Mr. Rong were found dead in the Sunflower Garden."

"Who is the only real culprit that caused their deaths? Please complete the vote within 1 minute!"

Gu Liangxin said that systematic questioning is still very particular.

After all, after their analysis, the question mark character No. 2 is the mysterious person they called before, and he was killed by Mr. Rong.

If the system only talks about the murderer, does the murderer mean the direct murderer or the indirect murderer?That leaves room for debate.

If the suspect has Big Brother Rong's name on it, then they may need to choose two people - Sister Mei and Big Brother Rong.

And the "unique" mentioned by the system undoubtedly ruled out the possibility of a joint case.

Seeing these two words, Gu Liang clicked the name of [Beautiful Sister] without any hesitation.

This case is difficult to restore in the case of brain hole and double killing.

This is difficult for good people, because good people are required to figure out all the details and logic; it is also difficult for murderers. Before they have thoroughly thought out all possibilities, the murderer has little room to play.

One minute later, the system immediately announced: "The voting is complete. Wow - one person got 1 votes, and correspondingly, another player got 5 vote."

"The person who got 1 vote is—Boss Mei."

"The person who got 5 votes...Unfortunately, it's Sister Mei."

"Is sister Mei the real culprit in the case of "The Folding Castle"? Congratulations everyone, you voted correctly!"

"Enter reward settlement first."

"Except for the real culprit this time, each player can get 5 gold coins and have 3 chances to draw reward cards. Congratulations!"

"In addition, there have been 5 rounds of voting in the first two stages of this script, and the voting rewards will be determined according to the individual votes of the players. In each round of voting, players who vote correctly can get 1 reward card."

Gu Liang did some calculations. In the first stage, there were a total of 4 rounds of voting, that is, there were 4 questions, and he got two of them right; in the second stage, there was only one question, and he was right.

Then, counting the final stage, he can get 5 gold coins and draw 6 reward cards this time.

Next, Gu Liang found out that his side mission was really just a trick of the system from beginning to end.

He initially thought the system would at least ask the side question "Who was bitten by a vampire?" But in reality, no one is actually a vampire, and the question itself doesn't hold water.

Even for the last question in the first stage, please vote for who is the vampire. Even if Gu Liang voted for Boss Rong, Yang Ye, and Su Lan, the answer would probably be wrong.Because in fact, there are no vampires at all, and everyone is the duke's dreamer.

After the man in black drew the reward cards for everyone and distributed the gold coins, the system broadcast sounded again.

This time, everyone knew that it was the punishment of death for the real culprit.

After the broadcast, as usual, a screen in the discussion room lit up, showing the life of Sister Mei.

"Sister Mei, whose real name is Wang Li, is 29 years old and a researcher of XX pharmaceutical industry. The judgment of crime value: 320, does not meet the standard of death penalty; the corresponding service period: 200 years."

The screen went dark and parted, instead of displaying all kinds of horrific punishments like before.

The man in black took Sister Mei into it, and no one knew what to do next.

But 200 years of service, what does that mean?

Can people live so long?

Gu Liang frowned, subconsciously looking at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye stretched out a hand towards him, but Gu Liang had lost consciousness before he could respond.

Before losing consciousness, Gu Liang only heard a broadcast - "The sun will eventually rise, and what should pass will eventually pass. Your dream, it's time to wake up. After waking up from the dream, you will have a month's rest . See you next time!"

wake up.

Gu Liang woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed.

Then he found himself back in Actor Ming's room.

He got up and opened the curtains, the sunlight outside the window was dazzling.

Thinking of something, Gu Liang went to the bathroom to take a look first - there were no bats.

He opened the door again, and there were no bloody bat-killed rats in the corridor.

Gu Liang frowned, and quickly walked to Yu Scumbag's room.

Just like when he left in the business car that night, the door was unlocked, and Gu Liang easily pushed it open.

Push the door open, no one is inside.

A chill suddenly rose up Gu Liang's spine.

He pressed the elevator and began to look down from floor to floor—but the 5th to 2nd floors were all blocked.

Gu Liang could only go to the lobby on the first floor.

There are no keys to open iron doors, no bones, no relics...

There is no trace of any crossing.

——The castle was restored to its original state, just like the first day he arrived here.

Gu Liang stood in the palpitatingly empty lobby for a full minute, then quickly walked through the lobby and the main hall, and ran all the way to the back kitchen, where he found oil and a lot of alcohol.

Back on the sixth floor, oil and alcohol were poured along the corridors, on various wooden shelves, and in every room he could open.

After finishing all this, Gu Liang went to the position of the water valve on the terrace, destroyed the water valve, and completely destroyed the fire sprinkler device of the entire castle.

Finally, Gu Liang decided to go out and have a look.

When he walked to the castle lobby and tried to open the main door, he tried twice, but failed to push the door open.

After reacting, he found that it was because his hands were shaking badly.

After finally pushing the door open, facing the glare of the sun, Gu Liang saw the cool and shining red sports car at a glance.

Bypass the sports car, walk through the courtyard all the way to the big iron gate.

When passing through the iron gate, Gu Liang took a deep breath, continued to move forward, all the way south, walked to the south street, and saw an overturned commercial vehicle and three corpses lying in a pool of blood in the distance.

The red blood was too dazzling in the sun, making Gu Liang's eyes astringent and sour.

Gu Liang paused and did not step forward for a while.

Yu scumbag died in reality.

The story of the encounter and love between the actor Ming and Earl William has always been just an empty dream fabricated by others.

Now awake, the count has disappeared.

So... what about Yang Ye?

Will he...will disappear from now on like the scumbag in reality?

When Gu Liang continued to move forward, thick fog suddenly appeared in front of him, preventing him from approaching further.

Immediately after, a sedan chair and two men in black appeared in the thick fog.

Gu Liang watched them, eyes as cold as ice.
