Live Action Murder Mystery

The doors of the rooms are all wide open, and from time to time the straw that supports the combustion under the stove next door will make a little "cracking" sound, which is transmitted through the wall to the chef's room.

After a "crack" sound, Gu Liang asked Yang Ye: "What is the complete story between you and your wife?"

Yang Yedao: "To be precise, that is my ex-wife. We have been very affectionate for seven years since we got married. Although I am quite unscrupulous in business, I am still good to my wife. It was not until a year and a half ago that our relationship began to have problems. The most unbearable thing for me is that she actually cheated. We divorced a year ago, and I didn't know she died until two months after the divorce."

"A month ago, it was her death day. When I went to the cemetery, I met a friend of hers. But I have never met this friend. He chatted with me casually and mentioned Huangquan Inn. I just You know, my ex-wife came to Huangquan Inn a year and a half ago."

After listening to Yang Ye's story, Gu Liang frowned and said, "My story is very similar to yours. I broke up with my girlfriend three months ago, and I knew she died a month ago. I heard about it at her funeral. Huangquan Inn. Wait... what kind of personality was your ex-wife before?"

Yang Ye thought for a while, and said: "She is very virtuous and loyal, and she is the kind who would never cheat. But a year and a half ago, around the time when she had tattoos, she became very coquettish. Derailed."

Gu Liangdao: "My ex-girlfriend went to the Huangquan Inn more than half a year ago. After she came back, she got a tattoo on her waist, and her personality has also changed. We used to have a good relationship, but half a year ago she became very unreasonable. Very good."

Yang Ye thought of something and grabbed Gu Liang's wrist. "I think of a detail. Have you two had a relationship in the past six months?"

Gu Liang: "..."

Seeing Gu Liang's expression, Yang Ye smiled. "Don't be shy and cool, everything you say is in the script."

"I'm not shy." Gu Liang defended, recalling the "chronology" in the script.

The part of the script related to "tattoo", Gu Liang remembers something like this: "On that day, you finally finished the task ahead of schedule and didn't work overtime, so you invited Ai Ni to the hotel. After kissing and making out, you took off your Taking off her clothes, she turned around shyly. At this moment, you noticed a beautiful tattoo on her lower back."

When the script arrived here, there was a picture on the card.

This is why Gu Liang was able to quickly recognize the tattoo on the proprietress's body after seeing it.

Immediately after the picture, it was written: "Your mobile phone rang suddenly, it was a WeChat message from your boss. After you replied to the WeChat message, you wanted to continue to get close to Ai Ni, but she refused to let you touch it, and told you Sentence - 'You like work so much, just go make out with work'. You told Aini not to mess around, but Aini asked you if you thought she was doing it. This night, you broke up unhappy."

After Gu Liang recalled it, he probably told Yang Ye about it. "That's it. The timeline in the subsequent script... basically tells us that we quarreled over something one day, and they were all trivial. There was a small quarrel in three days, and a big quarrel in five days. The main reason may be that I The fourth intern was too busy to ignore her. Indeed, we didn't happen after that...cough...what about you? "

Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Not at all. After she became so charming, I thought it was quite fresh at first. But after she got on the bed, she didn't cooperate. One day she said she was tired, and the next day she said she was not in the mood. I I also saw the tattoo on her waist on the bed, but as far as making out, nothing happened."

Having said that, Yang Ye paused for a moment, and said, "From your point of view, she became obsessed because you were busy with your internship, so her relationship with you changed. From my point of view, I think, She changed the way she dresses, became fashionable, but she refused to do anything with me because she cheated and fell in love with someone else. But now it seems—"

"There must be some other unknown reason that caused the two of them to change their temperaments and refuse to have sex with us."

When Yang Ye came to such a conclusion, he couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong with that tattoo? What did Boss Ling do to them?"

Gu Liang shook his head: "I don't know. But your speculation makes sense, you can only find clues slowly."

Gu Liang squatted down again to look for evidence.

After a while, he searched out a diary of Chef Huang.

Gu Liang roughly flipped through the diary, which was written two years ago: "She thinks she is beautiful, so she can call us around? She pretends to be gentle, but in fact she often loses her temper, which is really annoying."

"What's wrong with me drinking some wine? My salary is deducted again. Damn it!"

"Why let a woman overwhelm me?"

"Just because she is powerful, can she manage us like this all the time? I really don't accept it..."

Yang Ye came over to read it with Gu Liang, and Gu Liang finally concluded: "There is no big hatred, no clear intention to kill, and no plan to kill. There are only complaints accumulated over time. In this case... If It is also possible for Chef Huang to cooperate with the unknown murderer after receiving the letter we saw just now."

"Yes." Yang Ye stood up, "Go to the next room and have a look."

"Yeah." Gu Liang put away the diary, and went with Yang Ye to the room served by Liang next door.

Now, Liang Service can be said to be the main object of suspicion, and the two immediately rummaged through her room carefully.

Liang service room does have a lot of fishy stuff.

The first is her wardrobe. Under the cover of clothes, there is a lot of wine hidden in the cabinet, which is the famous plum wine of the inn.

——Why did she hide so much wine here?

Furthermore, it is also a diary that shows her murderous intent.

The killing intent of Liang’s service was also remembered two years ago. It was about “why does she always attract men’s attention” and “I don’t think I’m uglier than her”. The killing intent formed by these contents is actually as strong as Chef Huang's was about the same, and he didn't have any big hatred, so much so that he had to kill Boss Ling.

But the content of the latest page is different.

This page was torn off, and Gu Liang found a pencil to smear, and then restored the content on it—"Great, she will die soon! She is finally going to die! This must be a perfect plan!"

"It seems that Liang Service has a clear plan to kill people."

Gu Liang said, "In this regard, she is different from Chef Huang. Both of them accumulated dissatisfaction with Boss Ling slowly. Judging from the previous diary, the hatred between the two of them did not necessarily change from quantitative to qualitative. As for really wanting to kill someone. But judging from Liang Service’s latest diary, she already really wants to kill someone.”

Yang Ye continued to rummage through the closet and found some men's clothes.

The clothes looked shabby, old and patched.

Yang Yedao: "At first glance, this kind of clothes doesn't seem like what tourists would wear here. Could it be the clothes of homeless people?"

"There are too many doubts about Liang's service." Gu Liang walked to the window and took a look, his eyes moved to the left, the wallpaper on the window lattice seemed to be about to fall off.

Gu Liang thought of something and tore off the wallpaper directly.

There was a letter inside.

"If the evidence was hidden by the player herself, she hid it so well that she almost couldn't find it."

Gu Liang opened the letter and read the contents above, "Don't worry, I came here to kill her. I have planned for a long time. Together, we can kill her! As for the reward, Just give me plum wine."

Gu Liang put away the letter, and said to Yang Ye, "The inscription is a word of 'qian', it should be written by Qian Liulang."

"So, the wine in the closet was actually prepared by Liang Service for the homeless Qian. Even these clothes may have been washed and mended by her. Jing Service is colluding with the tramp to kill the boss. Since they are in Colluded..."

Yang Ye frowned, "Who wrote that letter from Chef Huang?"

Gu Liang thought for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Is it possible that this is the case - the homeless man and Liang service made an appointment to kill Boss Bell, and the homeless man was the one who shot the gun in the hut, according to the homeless man's According to the plan, Liang Service is the one responsible for taking Boss Bell to the empty guest room and opening the window."

"It's just that Service Liang didn't want to be the accomplice herself, so she wrote a letter to Chef Huang and asked him to do it. She will have an alibi when the time comes."

Yang Ye nodded: "Well, this possibility is very high. It is the good service that recommends tourists to go out to play; the one who is afraid that the handwriting will be recognized by the chef should also be the good service; judging from the diary, the murderous intention is mature, and it has been agreed with the homeless. Those who have a complete murder plan are still good service."

"Then the question now is, first, according to this calculation, is Chef Huang the murderer? Second, who killed the homeless man?"

Gu Liang thought for a moment. "If Liang Service really conspired with the homeless man, then she has murderous intentions. She may kill the homeless man to silence her."

Gu Liang turned and opened the bedside table again. "If you wait for a while, other people's stories are completely irrelevant to the homeless, and the suspicion of Liang's service is still the biggest."

After searching the rooms served by Liang, Gu Liang and Yang Ye split up to save time.

Yang Ye went to various guest rooms, including Boss Ling's room, to do a detailed search, while Gu Liang went into the restaurant to investigate further.

After finishing the restaurant on the second floor, Gu Liang went to the first floor. When he was about to go to the storage room on the first floor to have a look, he first saw the bright moon in the courtyard.

When he was in the corridor on the second floor earlier, Gu Liang noticed that Ming Yuegang also went to search the guest room with other players.

However, he was obviously very lazy, and at the moment he was sitting on the bench with his eyes closed and rested, motionless for a long time.

A street lamp was right next to him, and the light outlined his almost perfect profile, which made him look very good.

Such a person has such a face, even as a player, he seems to be so lazy, it seems that people can't bear to blame him.

Gu Liang happened to have a lot of questions he wanted to ask him, so he walked up to Mingyue immediately.

"Can we chat?" Gu Liang asked him.

"Of course." Mingyue moved to the side of the bench, motioning for Gu Liang to sit beside him.

Gu Liang also stepped forward and sat down, and then asked Mingyue: "Are you a ghost?"

Mingyue rolled her eyes. "It was discovered so quickly."

Gu Liang asked: "What is the reason why you opened this inn?"

Mingyue raised her index finger and shook it. "It's not 'us', it's Boss Ling, and she runs the inn. Service Liang and I are just little ghosts she caught to work for her. I don't know her story."

Gu Liang frowned: "Little ghost? You mean, she is stronger than you?"

Mingyue nodded: "Yes. I am a wild ghost in this mountain, and she forced me to be a chef. She lied to me at the time, saying that it was for my own good, and asked me to cultivate merit with her—"

Gu Liang interrupted him: "Sorry to interrupt, what does it mean to cultivate merit?"

Mingyue said: "I don't know. I asked her, but she didn't answer me. Maybe she is for you people. Because I, as a wild ghost in the mountains, will kill passers-by from time to time and suck their energy. But after I came here to work as a cook, Boss Ling won’t let me kill anyone.”

"All in all, I think she lied to me. When she arrested me, she said it was for my own good. I thought she opened the inn to capture living people for me. In this way, I can't wash away my energy every day. .As a result, I am tired every day, being ordered to drink by her, and I have to cook for you humans. I am very upset with her. So I have the idea of ​​'it would be fine if she disappeared from now on'."

Gu Liang: "So Boss Ling is actually a good ghost? She didn't open this inn to harm people?"

Mingyue: "I don't know. I don't know her story very well. She is often away from home. Service Liang and I don't know what she is doing."

Gu Liang thought for a while, and the story of Boss Ling had to be solved by slowly finding clues later.

So Gu Liang still had to focus on the murder method first.

Gu Liang asked Mingyue: "Between 2:4 and [-]:[-] this afternoon, did you ask Boss Ling to a certain vacant room? Which room is it?"

Mingyue narrowed her eyes halfway, as if she was recalling something.

After a long while, he looked at Gu Liang and said, "Although everyone will go out to play, I'm not sure who will come back halfway. The only thing I'm sure of is you. Because I cooked all the dishes when you were eating at noon, While resting in the corridor, I heard you say that you'll be fishing all afternoon."

"So you invited Boss Ling to my room? For what reason?" Gu Liang asked.

Mingyue said: "I told her, I suspect that you are a bad person, and I found you sneaking around in the yard last night. I asked Boss Ling to search your room carefully while you were away. Find something good."

"It was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I saw Boss Bell in the lobby of the inn. She was settling accounts. I told her about it."

Gu Liang was a little surprised when he heard Mingyue's answer: "You told her at 1 p.m.? How can you guarantee that she will come to my room between 2:4 p.m. and [-] p.m.?"

"I can't guarantee it. But I don't need one either."

Mingyue said, "I don't have a particularly strong murderous intention towards her. I won't make any plans to kill her. I just can't understand her and have resentment towards her. If someone wants to kill her, I'm willing to cooperate. But I I don't want to get into any trouble."

"Just such a letter, how do I know who wrote it? Could it be that someone played a prank on me?"

"I saw Boss Ling was indeed dead today, so I knew it wasn't a prank."

"Of course, I'm not completely devoid of design. Liang service is usually between 1 pm and 2 pm, and will clean the corridors on the third floor, the hotel lobby and so on. If Boss Ling believes me, go to your room to check your luggage, She should avoid Liang's service. Therefore, Boss Ling should come to your room after 3 o'clock. In fact, there is only a half-hour difference between the time I designed and the time requested in the letter."

"I think, if she searches your room from head to toe, half an hour is almost guaranteed, and it may be enough for the person who wrote me to do something."

Gu Liang inevitably felt suspicious: "Could it be that you don't care about anything after that?"

Mingyue asked back: "Since you just asked me the exact time, does that mean you saw the evidence in my room?"

Gu Liang nodded, "I found the pieces, and I put them together."

Mingyue continued: "That's right. Do you remember the original words of that letter? It said, 'From 2:4 to 301:304, find a chance to invite Boss Ling to any of the vacant rooms in [-]-[-], And open the windows of that room. Leave the rest to me.'”

"The window in your room is always open. I don't need to design this. I just need to let Boss Ling go to your room. Anyway, the person who wrote this letter said that I will leave the rest to him, so I will Never mind."

Hearing this, Gu Liang thought to himself that the window of his room was indeed open.

Because he was tortured enough by the mosquitoes here, except for opening the window for a while to check the outside situation at night, the window was closed at other times.

I slept all night with the windows closed, and there was a smell in the room.

Therefore, before going out in the morning, Gu Liang opened the windows wide, so that when he came back at night, the air in the room would be fresher.

Mingyue said again: "Anyway, that's it. I heard that you won't be here in the afternoon, and saw that the window in your room was open again, so I asked Boss Ling to go to your room. I really can't guarantee that she will be in your room at 2:[-]. But as I said, on the premise of not causing Boss Bell to suspect me, I can only design this way. If the time is not calculated and she is not killed, then I don't care. I don't have a strong desire to make her die Unbearable heart."

Gu Liang was silent for a long time, and thought about it from the beginning, but he didn't find any problem with Mingyue's rhetoric.

After a long while, Gu Liang only asked again: "So, when did you receive this letter asking you to cooperate in the murder?"

Mingyue said: "At 5 o'clock in the morning, I got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. When I got to the kitchen, I saw this letter next to the cutting board where the dishes were being prepared. I don't know who took it."

Gu Liang: "Then, this kind of clue that can almost directly show that you are one of the murderers, you simply tore it up and put it in the house?"

Mingyue looked at Gu Liang and smiled: "Actually, in the final analysis, this is a reasoning game, not a treasure hunting game. The system has regulations, and the evidence it gives can only be hidden and not destroyed. So actually I have worked hard Hiding this evidence doesn't have much effect, it just affects how long or short it takes you to find it."

"If I were a player, delaying time, I might be able to do this. But as an NPC, I don't have to."

"Of course, in fact, it is also possible that my guess is wrong."

Mingyue said again, "The person who wrote this letter to me arranged a murder plan. I also followed the requirements of the letter. But the plan of the letter writer may have failed. After all, I did not do anything afterwards. "

"The corpse and the situation of the homeless man, I just heard from them that there may be a gun shot from the homeless man's house and hit Boss Bell. But how Boss Bell's body got into the woods, I don't know Yes. I did not participate in the aftermath of this matter."

"Then, it's also possible that Boss Bell's death is something else. Maybe I'm not the murderer, it's also possible."

"Anyway, Brother Liang, I hope I won't mislead you. I really intend to help you. Although—"

Gu Liang frowned and asked, "Although what?"

Mingyue looked into his eyes: "Although I remember your birthday, you never sent me a birthday greeting email."

"..." Gu Liang thought for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry, I don't pay much attention to such things. I even forget my own birthday."

Mingyue said: "Actually, in the script of "The Fifth Man", you threw my 'corpse' off the mountain, and I watched it too."

Gu Liang: "..."

Mingyue smiled: "But I don't care, I won't cheat you because of these things."

Gu Liang stared at Mingyue's eyes, and really couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

Originally, he didn't know Mingyue well, but again, the two of them hadn't seen each other for ten years since they graduated from high school.

But Gu Liang didn't want to explore Mingyue's story at the moment, he just asked: "Where did you go after talking to Boss Ling at 1 p.m.?"

Mingyue: "I'm going back to my room to rest."

Gu Liang: "Did you go out after that? Even though you didn't insist on Boss Bell's death, you have already started to cooperate with the letter writer's plan. You have to check, did Boss Bell go to my room?"

Mingyue nodded: "Yes, I went out. At about 1:50, I walked from the stilted building I was in to the one where you lived. At that time, Boss Ling was no longer in the inn lobby."

"I walked into the lobby to make sure, and even went to the small wine cellar next to the lobby to check, and there was no sign of her anywhere. I thought, maybe she has gone to your room. So I walked up the wooden stairs The third floor, but at this time, I saw Jia's girlfriend rushing to Wang's lonely room. Originally, after Jia's girlfriend entered the room, I wanted to go to the door of your room to confirm. However, Zhao Meili was sneaky go out."

"If Boss Bell dies, I don't want her death to have anything to do with me. So I can't let anyone see that I went to your building in the afternoon. So I turned around and left quickly."

"After I left your building, I went back to my room. When I walked to the restaurant building, it was around 2:10. At that time, I heard some noises from the straw behind the stilted building, as if someone was turning over. Wooden fence. But when I walked over, there was no one there. So I went back to the room."

Mingyue said: "Brother Liang, I know, I've already said everything."

Mingyue talked about a lot of critical time points.

Gu Liang took a pen and wrote everything down in the notebook.

Gu Liangxin said that since he saw Liang service crossing the bridge at 2:2, the sound of turning over the wooden fence that Mingyue heard at 10:[-] might be Liang service.After all, according to what Mingyue said, the other girls were all on the third floor at that time.

Gu Liang pondered, regarding the timeline of the girls, he would have to ask carefully later, to see if he could close what Mingyue said.

Gu Liang only asked Mingyue one more question: "After 2:10, you went back to your room and never came out again?"

Mingyue shook her head: "No more. I didn't come out until 5 o'clock, when there were sounds of fighting in the lobby."

"Okay. I see. Thank you." Gu Liang stood up, "I went to other places to search for evidence."

Mingyue nodded slightly: "You're welcome, Brother Liang."

As the bright moon, Gu Liang walked towards the inn lobby.

Several girls were rummaging in the lobby, and Li Xiaoyu was among them.

Gu Liang called Li Xiaoyu to stop. "Xiaoyu, come, let's talk about something?"

Li Xiaoyu turned her head and saw Gu Liang, but also walked over. "how?"

Gu Liang took Li Xiaoyu back to the courtyard and found that Mingyue was no longer on the bench.

Gu Liang simply took Li Xiaoyu to sit down and asked her: "The waiter Jing said you have knives and poison in your suitcase, what is that poison?"

Li Xiaoyu handed Gu Liang an empty medicine bottle: "Here, this is it."

Gu Liang took the medicine bottle, and saw that it said: "[Killing you by being quiet], the drug description - chronic poison, after taking it continuously for a month, the poisoned person will have dizziness and fatigue symptoms, and there is no other obvious reaction. But in fact, the viscera of the poisoned person will be irreversibly damaged, and they will die after three months. Pack of 30 capsules. It can be dissolved in water."

Li Xiaoyu took the initiative to explain: "They insisted that I used this medicine to harm Boss Ling. No. Even if I harmed Boss Ling, how could I make her take the medicine for a month?"

Gu Liang asked: "So, you gave Aini this medicine?"

"Yes." Li Xiaoyu rubbed her face, "I can't say anything about the previous performance, based on the character design. Anyway, look, this medicine bottle is empty. It has 30 pills in a bottle, which happens to be one A month’s worth. I put it in the water that Aini drinks every day. The reason why I bring the empty medicine bottle is mainly because I’m afraid that other roommates will find this medicine bottle when I go through my things when I’m traveling.”

"A good roommate in China." Gu Liang shook his head and asked again quickly, "When did you take the medicine?"

Li Xiaoyu clapped her hands hard. "Brother, you have got to the point. This is a very strange thing."

"I took it on July 7st last year, and it lasted for 1 days. Aini used to get up early every day to drink a glass of water. I know her habit. I wake up earlier than her every day, and prepare two glasses of water, one for her and one for me. That month Here, the water she drank was the poisonous water I gave her. She didn't know about it, and thought I took good care of her."

"The reason why I chose to poison at that time was because she and I were both preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and staying in school for review. And you have already found an internship unit, and you went home to play during the summer vacation. She usually goes to school, and sometimes she will Going to open a room with you, I won't be able to continue for another month. So, July is just the right time for me to start."

Li Xiaoyu said, "I'm sure she drank chronic poison for a month, so, logically, counting from August, she will die in November three months later. But she didn't. This is too strange."

Gu Liang thought for a while, and said seriously: "She is not dead, but she has changed. After all, more than half a year ago, which is about November as you mentioned, she came to the Huangquan Inn, and her temperament changed drastically. .”

The author has something to say:

Mingyue: "Brother Liang, I won't lie to you."

Gu Liang: "???"
