Live Action Murder Mystery

Hearing what Gu Liang said, Li Xiaoyu immediately stood up. "I'll get the wish book right away."

Gu Liang called her to stop: "By the way, let's call Liang's service in."

"Okay." Li Xiaoyu opened the door and went to the lobby, and after a while, she called the beautiful service in and brought the wish book.

When the door of the one-on-one interrogation room was closed again, Gu Liang took the wish book and first asked Liang's service: "Why did you choose to leave at 2 pm yesterday? I know you are usually working before 2 pm, so how can you go to work specifically during this period?" Where did you go? Have you seen Chef Huang?"

The waiter Liang thought for a while and said: "Yesterday you all left after lunch at noon. I stayed to clean up, wash the dishes, and mopped the floor. I wanted to go to the opposite side immediately after I was done. Left and right, I saw Chef Huang basking in the sun in the yard."

"I made fun of him. With the incense of rhino horns, even ghosts can bask in the sun. In fact, I wanted to urge him to go back to the house. He usually takes a nap in the afternoon, and makes dinner after he has had enough sleep."

"Then he chatted with me casually, saying that Boss Ling is doing the accounting in the lobby, and it is estimated that he will do it for more than an hour. He also plans to bask in the sun for about half an hour before entering the house."

Gu Liang nodded: "Understood. You can't go around the back to climb over the fence in front of him. So you go back to the house, wait until after 2 o'clock, walk out the door, and you dare to leave when you see no one in the yard. "

"That's right." Liang served, "First of all, according to what Chef Huang said, Boss Ling is doing the accounting. If I interrupt her midway and insist on dragging her to an empty room upstairs at this time, it will arouse her suspicion. So I'm not in a hurry, I just plan to walk slowly to the other side of the lake, and just talk to Qian Liulang. After Boss Ling finishes the account, I will lead her upstairs. Therefore, I walked very slowly all the way Yes, I'm really not in a hurry. I think I had enough time to notify Qian Vagrant, I didn't expect him to die."

"Furthermore, Chef Huang said that he would bask in the sun for half an hour, so I guess he will stay in the yard until nearly 2 o'clock. It happened that I cleaned the restaurant for so long and washed the dishes, so I was a little tired. So I I went back to the house to take a rest, and when I went out at 2:10, I saw that there was indeed no one in the yard, and I guessed that Chef Huang had already returned to the room after basking in the sun, so I went over the fence."

Liang Service looked at Gu Liang curiously: "I thought these details were insignificant before, and I didn't explain them so carefully. Now I don't think there is any problem with these details. Why do you ask?"

Gu Liang didn't answer the question directly, but looked at Li Xiaoyu: "Do you understand now?"

"I completely understand." Li Xiaoyu nodded, "Chef Huang is bold and careful, and with these two words, he can guarantee that the beautiful service will go out after 2 o'clock, so that when he compiles the timeline later, there will be no bugs. Otherwise, during the period from 1:2 to [-]:[-], the beautiful service will stay in the yard."

"Actually, at 1:20 p.m., Chef Huang doesn't know yet. He will be in the thatched cottage opposite at 2 p.m., and see the timelines of several other characters in each room through the scope. He said this to Liang's service, it should be It’s just to let Liang serve half an hour late for him to go to the thatched cottage, and to give him enough time to kill money and wander around.”

Gu Liang said, "Later, through the scope, he saw the timelines of Wang Guyou, Jia's girlfriend, and Zhao Meili, so he could make up his own timeline."

"Again, at that moment, he thought that after he finished talking to Service Liang at 1:20, Service Liang went back to her room to rest. Then, after her rest, it is more likely that she will go directly to climb the fence at around 2 o'clock. The possibility of the courtyard and the lobby is very small. He dared to make it up like that."

"Of course, 1:50 is the safest time. After all, it's the same as President Gao's rest time. At 1:20, I heard Chef Huang say that I would bask in the sun for half an hour. Liang service will at least wait until 1:50. After [-]:[-], come out to check whether Chef Huang has finished basking in the sun, so as to judge whether she can go over the fence. She will not just go back to the house to take a nap, but come out to hang out from time to time..."

"Therefore, Chef Huang made up that he had arrived at the inn lobby at 1:50, and was looking for Boss Ling in the lobby and wine cellar."

"In this way, even if Liang's service comes out at 1:50, or even a few minutes earlier than this time, Chef Huang can say that she and himself just missed it."

"That's why I said earlier that Chef Huang, no, it shouldn't be the Chef Huang in the play, but Mingyue. Mingyue is a little uncertain, but it's actually just President Gao's timeline."

The waiter Liang was a little confused: "What do you mean? Could the murderer be Chef Huang?"

Gu Liang didn't explain the matter first, but asked Liang's service: "Let me ask again, at noon yesterday, you should be the only one who saw Boss Ling. She probably asked how our food was and whether we had a good time. Are you in the restaurant?" answered her words on the corridor outside."

Liang service nodded: "Not bad."

Gu Liang asked: "What was her condition at the time? For example, was her face injured?"

Liang served: "She...I didn't see clearly either."

Gu Liang: "Why didn't you see clearly?"

Liang service: "She wears a shawl on her head, that's the kind of feeling that she still holds a pipa and half covers her face. So I only see half of her face."

Gu Liang took out his digital camera and called up the photo of the dead body he had just taken: "She covered it with a shawl, is it the scratch on her face?"

Liang service: "I don't know if there is any scratches, but it is indeed the left side of the face. It is the scratched side of the face in the photo, which is covered."

Gu Liang asked Li Xiaoyu: "What about you? What happened when you stabbed her?"

Li Xiaoyu said: "Well... there are some decorations on her face, that kind of small sequins, which look blingbilling and quite coquettish. I thought this detail was not important, so I didn't go into details. It turns out...she used them to cover up A scar?"

Gu Liang then showed them the rest of the body he had photographed. "The rhinoceros horn incense in the back kitchen has been burning, so the corpse has not disappeared. When I went out just now, I looked at the corpse carefully again. Her bruises and falls are a bit too much."

"Look at the back of her head, there's a big lump here."

Gu Liang continued: "At first, I thought that after she was shot, she was thrown down the third floor, put in some kind of woven bag, and dragged all the way to the woods. But now it seems that there is another Possibly. After all, even if she fell from the third floor, the straw is piled so high, it stands to reason that she wouldn't fall so badly."

Li Xiaoyu couldn't help asking: "What is the other possibility?"

It was only at this time that Gu Liang opened the wish book and found a certain page in the middle - it was about Boss Talking Ling disguised as a man in order to help someone fulfill their wish.

Gu Liang explained: "Not only can she change her face, she can become another person entirely. She can not only change into a woman, such as my ex-girlfriend and President Gao's ex-wife, she can also become a man."

"The person pushed off the cliff by President Gao yesterday morning was not Tourist Jia, but Boss Ling."

When they heard this sentence, Li Xiaoyu and Liang Service couldn't help showing shocked expressions.

Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye: "Please tell me the details."

So, Yang Ye looked at Li Xiaoyu and Jing, and said, "The night before yesterday, that is, the night Boss Ling said he would use spiritualism to summon the soul of Tourist Jia. I have been paying attention to the movement in the corridor."

"I just think that Boss Ling is vaguely similar to my ex-wife. Anyway, as soon as I see her, it will arouse my feelings. So I really want to be with her. It has been a long, long time since my divorce. I have never felt this kind of heartbeat. So I think, I must seize this rare fate."

"That night, Boss Bell told us not to go out, lest we bump into unclean things. But I didn't care much about these things, so after 12 o'clock, I concealed the door and observed. At about 12:[-], I saw Boss Bell leave President Gao's room. She lives across from me. I can see that when she went back to her room, she didn't close the door tightly. "

"I think it's very strange. It's not like she's holding the door for some man, is she?"

"I can't let other men rob her, so even though it was late, I was worried that she might have a tryst with a man, so I went to her room and told her that I was very interesting to her, and she could think about me. What else did I say, I know I acted a little recklessly, but she made me feel so good or something."

"But she said that she belonged to Jia Tourist. I was very angry and angry, and said that if I wanted anything, I would get it. I will remove all obstacles that hinder me."

"You also know that Boss Ling played my ex-wife, and she played it flawlessly. My ex-wife told her everything about me. Of course, she knows how unscrupulous I am in the mall."

"So, at breakfast the next day—"

Speaking of which, Yang Ye looked at Jing and said, "When you asked where we decided to go, I invited Tourist Jia to climb the mountain together. Boss Ling was also there at that time. She knew who I was and heard about my last night. The words were harsh, so she guessed that in the name of mountain climbing, I might actually want to do something to Tourist Jia."

"We said before that Tourist Jia and I didn't go climbing immediately after leaving the restaurant. We went back to our rooms and changed our casual clothes first. Now Gu Liang and I reasoned that after breakfast, Tourist Jia went back to his room to change clothes. Boss Bell found him."

"Boss Ling probably told Tourist Jia that President Gao wanted to be unfavorable to him, and told him to lock himself in the room, and wait for her to come back."

"Therefore, Tourist Jia was in the house from the beginning to the end, and the person who climbed the mountain with me in the morning was actually the Tourist Jia played by Boss Ling. Boss Ling was Jia Tourist's sister, and has always been concerned about Jia Tourist's situation, so he is very familiar with it. Their family's business, I can talk about business matters with me. She has rich experience in acting as a person, and I'm not too familiar with Jia Tourist, so it's normal that I didn't see any flaws."

Gu Liang took Yang Ye's words and said: "We deduce that the boss who rings the bell has always been kind to people. Let's not talk about the results of her actions, but she has no intention of harming others. Yes. Therefore, she didn't do anything to President Gao, but chose to take the place of Tourist Jia and die once."

"After returning to the inn, she can't let everyone know that Tourist Jia is still alive. She is afraid that President Gao will deal with him again. I guess, she is planning to hide Tourist Jia, and wait until President Gao is persuaded to go away. .”

"So at noon, she continued to settle accounts in the lobby. She probably wanted to wait until the tourists who should continue to go out to play, and the tourists who should go back to the house to rest. After no one saw her whereabouts, she went to Jia Tourist Find him in the room and tell him what happened in the morning."

At this time, Li Xiaoyu interrupted: "Wait a minute, I have a question."

Gu Liang: "You ask."

Li Xiaoyu said: "Why does Tourist Jia cooperate with Boss Ling? The matter between them is Boss Ling's wishful thinking. When she went to visit Tourist Jia to explain the truth the night before, Tourist Jia didn't believe her at all. Tourist Jia thought she It's the murderer who killed my sister, a ghost."

"Besides, at 5:[-] in the morning, when Tourist Jia was taking a walk, he first met Wang Guhui and Jia's girlfriend. From Jia's girlfriend, he clearly learned that Boss Ling is indeed a ghost."

"Then, after breakfast at 7:[-], why did Boss Ling believe and cooperate when Boss Ling came to Jia You's guest room and said that President Gao wanted to kill him and let him hide in the room?"

Gu Liang smiled: "Good question. This question determines when Tourist Jia cooperated with Chef Huang."

Li Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide: "The murderer is really Tourist Jia?"

Gu Liang asked: "Who is the first to get up in the morning?"

Li Xiaoyu: "Chef Huang...he started preparing breakfast around 5 o'clock."

"Exactly. So, at 5:[-] in the morning, when Jia's girlfriend told Jia Tourist in the courtyard that Boss Ling was the evil spirit who killed his sister, Chef Huang probably heard the whole process."

Gu Liang said, "Afterwards, Wang Guhui and Jia's girlfriend left together. Whether Tourist Jia wandered in the courtyard by himself, went to the restaurant alone, or even went to the back kitchen to find something to eat... In short, Chef Huang must have been there at that time. Found him."

"Chef Huang told him, since you also want to kill Boss Ling, I have a good idea..."

"'Did our boss, Ling, confess his love to you?'? Chef Huang might have asked Jia Tourist that way. Then he told Jia Tourist, you know the story of A Chinese Ghost Story, and female ghosts like to hook up with handsome young men in order to suck their energy. Therefore, you must not believe that she shows favor to you or something."

"Chef Huang may continue to say—'However, when she shows love to you, you can pretend to cooperate with her. I have a good idea here. You find a way to bring her to the window, and I can shoot her on the other side of the lake. kill'."

Service Liang took Gu Liang's words: "So, his original plan should also be to kill Qian Biao in the morning, and then kill Boss Ling."

"Yes." Gu Liang nodded, "It was an accident that Boss Ling replaced Tourist Jia temporarily. Not only did you not find Boss Ling this morning, but neither did Chef Huang. When the boss went to look for him, and then replaced him, Boss Ling may have offered to go to him, or, under Jia Tourist's questioning and deliberate guidance, she promised Jia Tourist that she would come to his room in the afternoon and explain it carefully Tell him about his sister, and tell him what President Gao did."

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, you don't know where Boss Ling went. Because you were washing the dishes after breakfast. But when Chef Huang was in the courtyard, watching 'Visitor Jia' and President Gao leave, he already knew That Tourist Jia is actually played by Boss Ling."

"Therefore, he may have had a detailed conversation with the real Jia tourist."

"After all, in the morning, none of the rest of our tourists were there."

Gu Liang paused, then continued: "Let's talk about Boss Ling again. If Boss Bell wasn't forced to stand in front of the window, then she did it voluntarily. And she was defenseless. She thought Tourist Jia would have something against her. emotion."

"In the end, before she was shot... maybe Jia Tourist stood at the window with her arms around her, whispering love words in her ear, and let her look at the scenery outside the window."

Service Liang could not help but ask again: "These are all reasonable, but what about the evidence? Chef Huang can completely make up his own timeline, and Tourist Jia can hide in the house for a whole day... But in fact, the suspicion of the two of them It's the same as Wang Guhui and Jia's girlfriend, those two girls can also make up a timeline."

"The evidence is the wounds on Tourist Jia's body and face. He fell out of it himself. The place where he fell was not a cliff, but the foot of the mountain near the lake. Take a look at these photos."

As Gu Liang said, he showed Liang Service and Li Xiaoyu the photos he took with Yang Ye just now.

These photos were taken by Yang Ye with a flashlight and Gu Liang, and the two collaborated to complete them.

These photos include photos of small bloody stones; there are photos of tree branches with rags hanging on them.

In other photos, there are very obvious traces of people's back rubbing repeatedly on the soil with some gravel, and the area is not small. Gu Liang took a picture from a far angle, and the diameter is estimated to be one Mi, Gu Liang also took a close-up close-up, and it can be seen that there are obvious blood stains on the gravel.

Li Xiaoyu pointed to one of the fabrics and said, "The color of this fabric is the same as the clothes Jia You wears, which is the one with a hole in his back. These marks...why do they appear here?"

"This has something to do with Tourist Jia's action logic."

Gu Liangdao, "From our analysis, the time when Chef Huang shot at the opposite side is estimated to be between 3:3 and 40:[-]."

"Boss Ling jumped out of Wang's lonely room at 2:20. I think that before she went to see the man she loves, she probably went back to her room to tidy herself up. After all, she was first stabbed by Zhao Meili, and then used. He dealt with the blood talisman and even jumped out of the window, looking quite embarrassed."

"Therefore, it is reasonable for Boss Ling to appear in Tourist Jia's room around 3 o'clock."

"They talked for a while, and Tourist Jia pretended to accept her, and took her to the window to see the scenery and talk about love. Boss Ling was shot dead afterward."

"I'm still inclined. Tourist Jia found a woven bag or something to put Boss Bell in, and then threw Boss Bell down from the window on the third floor. Or, he carried Boss Bell on his back to hide his eyes and ears, and went to the stilted building through the utility room on the first floor. Behind. I didn’t find the woven bag, he probably tied it to a stone and threw it into the lake.”

"No matter how he took Boss Bell away, he took Boss Bell to the direction of the woods."

"The time for him to reach the woods should not exceed 4 o'clock."

"Before Boss Bell was shot, the two of them chatted. He would definitely ask if President Gao really did something when he was climbing the mountain in the morning. Boss Bell told him about President Gao pushing himself off the cliff. .”

"Then this incident can be used as an alibi for Tourist Jia. So he has to find a way to create scars on himself."

"If it's already around 4 o'clock, he can't run very far. If he can return to the inn around 5 o'clock, it is understandable for him to be unconscious for several hours and get lost. But if he runs to create scars If you travel too far and come back too late, it will be very suspicious."

"So it's understandable for him to find a suitable place nearby to disguise the scars from falling off the cliff after throwing the corpse."

"After he dropped Boss Bell, he walked straight to the foot of the mountain and found a slope that he felt could allow him to roll back and forth and create scars without putting his life in real danger."

"Including looking for a branch to scratch his back, pretending to fall off the cliff and being caught by a branch, it was also made by him deliberately."

"He thought it was impossible for him not to have a head injury, so he gritted his teeth, picked up a rock and threw some scars on his head. That's why there were blood stains on the small rocks."

When Gu Liang said this, Yang Ye gave him a bottle of mineral water.

Gu Liang took the water, drank it, and said, "Yang Ye and I have similar ideas. After we both thought of the possibility of the combination of Chef Huang and Tourist Jia, we would naturally deduce the real timeline of Tourist Jia. Of course, after Before we restarted the investigation at the scene of the crime, everything was indeed a brain hole, which was relatively reasonable, but there was really no evidence."

"Just now we searched carefully along the way down the mountain, and finally found a suitable slope suitable for fakes, as well as the key evidence left by Jia tourists."

6 am.

The concentrated discussion, which was delayed for an hour, finally ended, and everyone ushered in the voting stage.

System: "The case of "Rhinoceros" is about to come to a successful conclusion. First of all, there are side missions. The side missions are very simple, and this is really a system-friendly reward card link!"

"So, please vote now, which of the characters in this case are ghosts?"

"Please note that NPC Chef Huang has no voting rights."

"Voting is limited to 1 minute!"

Gu Liang picked up the card, and the voting interface popped up automatically.

Gu Liang quickly chose the four roles of [Chef Huang], [Boss Ling], [Wang Lonely], and [Pretty Service].

After 1 minute, the system said: "Wow, all the players have answered correctly, then, everyone can get four reward cards! Please check them out!"

The two men in black appeared this time carrying a large box.

Players drew next to each other, and after a round, the system said again: "The voting for the side quests is over, and now we're entering the main quest. So, who is the real culprit who killed Boss Ling? Players, please make your choice. Vote The time is 1 minute! Please note that NPC Chef Huang has no voting rights."

Gu Liang looked at the cards in his hand again.

The card page was refreshed, and this time there was no longer the profile picture and name of Boss Bell.

At the same time, a line of words appeared on the heads of each character: "Please vote for all the characters you think are murderers."

Without hesitation, Gu Liang ordered [Chef Huang] and [Tourist Jia].

After 1 minute, the system continued to broadcast: "Wow, all players have made their choices, let's check the voting results."

"Two characters each got one vote? Who are they? They are Wang Guhui and Jia's girlfriend!"

"So who is the character with the most votes?"

"Chef Huang got 6 votes, Tourist Jia also got 6 votes!"

"Chef Huang and Tourist Jia are the real culprits in this case?"

"Congratulations everyone, you voted correctly!"

"Then enter the reward settlement stage. Every player except the murderer can get 6 gold coins as a reward, and the detective can get 7 gold coins."

"However, during the script interpretation stage, the original actor of Chef Huang died unexpectedly. As a teammate of the script, everyone failed to save him, so that the system had to send an NPC to act as the chef. This is a waste of system resources! Everyone will pay the price! Each person will deduct 2 gold coins!"

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows.

In this way, he got 5 gold coins this time.

Rewards are settled.

As usual, came the punishment link.

Gu Liang glanced at Mingyue first.Mingyue raised her head, still smiling faintly at Gu Liang.

Gu Liang looked at Tourist Jia again.

Jia Tourist's face was a little pale, but he didn't show a particularly fearful expression as Gu Liang thought.

Soon, the broadcast sounded: "Okay, it's time for the familiar death penalty again. Chef Huang's actor is an NPC, not a player, and not in the ranks of being punished. Next, let the system judge Jiayou's actor. "

One wall of the restaurant is illuminated with a curtain of light.

It read: "Tourist Jia, whose real name is Huang Dewei, 31 years old, data analyst. Criminal value judgment: 400, not up to the standard of death penalty; corresponding service period: 280 years."

Seeing Huang Dewei, who played the role of Tourist Jia, being taken away by the man in black, Gu Liang walked up to Yang Ye, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that the players who can really constitute a death penalty have basically died in the junior and intermediate scripts?"

"It's possible. This kind of player has a high probability of drawing the dead, and a high probability of drawing the murderer. The junior and intermediate levels are very simple at the beginning, and the murderer is also difficult to play."

Gu Liang nodded: "The actor who played Wang Bulao I met at the beginning told me at that time that he has been spinning around in the low-star script...he has never stepped up."

After Tourist Jia left, the darkened light curtain opened from the middle again.

This time it was Mingyue who walked towards the door.

Mingyue got up and walked towards the door calmly. When she passed by Li Xiaoyu, Li Xiaoyu jumped up, ran away a few steps, and then looked at him with terrified and guarded eyes.

Mingyue smiled: "The little girl is afraid of me?"

Li Xiaoyu didn't speak.

Mingyue only said: "I will teach you a lesson, just to see how the murderer plays. What if next time, you are the murderer?"

Of course, these words did not comfort Li Xiaoyu, she looked even more frightened.

The corners of Mingyue's eyes were bent, and she walked into the door without looking back.

Then the door closed.

The restaurant is back to normal as if nothing happened.

The broadcast sounded again: "Okay, the case of "The Rhinoceros" has been successfully concluded. Our inn has a beautiful scenery, so you don't need to go to the rest area. Please rest here for 15 days. See you in the next script!"

"Player Yang Ye and Gu Liang, please accept the punishment!"

Gu Liang is used to the punishment in the small black room, and he already feels that it doesn't matter.

He believes that the psychological punishment has passed, and he is even less afraid of the physical punishment.

Even though the process was terrifying, as long as he thought about getting through it, as long as he got through it, all the pain would pass, and he could deal with it as calmly as possible.

What Gu Liang didn't expect was that when he entered the small black room this time, what he would see was a lake.

——This is a lake that he is too familiar with.

He once jumped into the lake, watched the middle-aged woman slip from his hands, and then continued to sink...
