"Who did you designate?"

"Junior Brother Gao." Du Qianlin said.

As soon as the voice fell, the system announcement rang.

"Player 'Lv Tiangan' identified the murderer...."

"...fail."

I don't know why Kang Wenwen didn't find it unexpected, as if it should have been.

But if it was the maid, he didn't think so.

I always feel that this case is not that simple.

But as Du Qianlin said, the longer I drag on here, the more anxious I feel.

Seven days in the game, only twelve hours in reality.But the script is very uncomfortable.Right or wrong, Kang Wenwen just wanted to go out early.

"Failure? Who is the real murderer?" Zhang Dengjin pouted unconvinced.

Du Qianlin looked at Kang Wenwen helplessly, "The identification failed."

Kang Wenwen shook his head lightly, "It's okay, there is indeed no key evidence."

Zhang Dengjin was still talking to himself, "Then who is the murderer?"

"I don't know. Looking at the countdown, the system probably won't tell us the real culprit." Du Qianlin poked the logout countdown window floating in front of him.

"Ah! I don't know who the murderer is. I can't sleep tonight." Zhang Dengjin dragged Du Qianlin and insisted that he find the murderer in the last 10 minutes.

Du Qianlin couldn't help but "Where can I find it in 10 minutes?"

"Player 'Gao Xianren' successfully identified the murderer."

The system announcement suddenly sounded.

Neither Du Qianlin nor Kang Wenwen could react, but Zhang Dengjin immediately asked, "Who is who?"

"The murderer 'County Magistrate' has been arrested and imprisoned."

Du Qianlin looked at Zhang Dengjin, then at Kang Wenwen, "Go back to the Yamen."

Because the script was about to be sent out in only ten minutes, the three rushed to the Yamen in a hurry.

Before he reached the cell where the county magistrate was held, he heard his voice.

"I did nothing wrong! Those people should be damned!"

When I got closer, I saw the magistrate, who was originally glamorous, but now he was crazy, and the shackles on his hands and feet were rattled by him.

"You, you useless people. I'm not wrong!"

But apart from the county magistrate and the two yamen servants who suppressed him, the 'Gao Xianren' who identified the murderer was not there.

"Can you escape the crime by pretending to be crazy?" Du Qianlin stepped forward and said to the county magistrate.

"Did you kill for your wife?"

The county magistrate suddenly fell silent, staring at Du Qianlin but stopped talking.

"Your wife is sick and needs human blood for treatment. So you let the servant girl act as a cannibal, catch people and kill them yourself?"

Du Qianlin continued.

But the county magistrate still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

"Your wife..."

"It has nothing to do with her." The county magistrate looked up.

"She is indeed sick, but she doesn't have to kill those people."

Du Qianlin didn't ask any more questions, since the county magistrate would definitely make it clear.

"Those people are useless people. Their death is for the benefit of our county."

"This is your motive? It's too strange." Zhang Dengjin felt that this reason was too far-fetched.

"What do you know!" the county magistrate yelled at Zhang Dengjin.

"Those people, those who are sick or injured can't do anything, and they still have to live to eat my food. That food is not used to feed the disabled!"

Zhang Dengjin was taken aback by the suddenly excited county magistrate.

The county magistrate continued to say, "Every year, how much grain do we have to pay, but how much can they grow?"

"There are fewer people, enough to eat, and our political achievements have improved so that we will not be harshly criticized."

"So many people died, wouldn't you be harsh on you?" Du Qianlin asked.

The county magistrate spat, "Bah! It's not my fault that people died, it's the ogre's fault."

"Your thinking is too extreme. Can the food livelihood problem be solved after people die? If no one can work in the end, are you going to kill them all?" Zhang Dengjin really couldn't understand his thinking.

The county magistrate looked at him viciously, "Oh, you think too simply. Do you have any solution? I only know that this is wrong and that is wrong, but you guys have a way!"

The county magistrate kept struggling and looked at Kang Wenwen with a ferocious face, "If everyone is going to die in the end, why not kill those who are slowing down first, maybe we can still have a chance."

Kang Wenwen looked at the county magistrate and suddenly thought of Tang Yiran.

"Who do you think you can save? You can't even save yourself!"

"Who do you think you can save? You can't even save yourself!" the county magistrate shouted.

Kang Wenwen was a little dazed, this sentence was exactly the same as what Tang Yiran said to himself back then.

What other meaning does this sentence have?

"Hahaha, useless people... useless people deserve to die."

"Useless people...damn.."

After that, no matter how I asked, the county magistrate always said the same thing.

Walking out of the yamen, the three of them felt a little heavy.

Kang Wenwen raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, when he saw a figure standing there at the entrance of an alley across the street.

Just as he was about to speak, the man showed up and smiled at Kang Wenwen.

"Is this county magistrate mentally ill?" Zhang Dengjin looked disgusted.

"In many cases, if you don't find the murderer, you don't know what he thinks." Du Qianlin said.

Zhang Dengjin couldn't understand "Do they all think this way? Isn't there any reason for people to take it for granted?"

"It should be reasonable?" Du Qianlin couldn't laugh or cry, "If the reasons for killing people are reasonable, what's the use of the police and the law?"

"Humans are thinking animals, and they are easily impulsive. Most of the murders are caused by impulses overcoming reason. The law is to make these 'impulses' pay the corresponding price."

Kang Wenwen listened to Du Qianlin's words, looked up at Du Qianlin's back, and his heart was slightly touched.

Then he turned his head to look at the person who was still standing at the entrance of the alley, and while Du Qianlin and Zhang Dengjin were still talking without noticing, he quietly turned and followed that person.

Walking into that alley, the voices of Du Qianlin and Zhang Dengjin could no longer be heard.

Walking towards the bright place in front of him, he walked out of the alley and entered a dilapidated hut that was unfamiliar to him.

The rotten wooden door hangs rattling on the threshold.

Kang Wenwen raised his foot and stepped over, the alternating light and dark made him temporarily blind, closed his eyes and reopened the hut in front of him, but it turned into a bone forest at night.

"Hmph." Kang Wenwen snorted coldly, "Playing tricks."

"Did you bring me here just to see how you perform magic tricks?"

Gao Xianren came out from behind a tree trunk.

"What is pretending to be a ghost? These children are watching you."

Kang Wenwen looked around at the straw mats on the surrounding branches.

"You brought me here to see these dead people?"

Gao Xianren was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Sure enough, you are right. You talk about respecting the dead, but your words and deeds are not half respectful. Pretending to be a saint?"

This is what Zhang Dengjin said to Du Qianlin behind his back,

"So it's you, cousin." Kang Wenwen raised his eyebrows.

"Tch, I'm not surprised at all, it's not fun." Gao Xianren pursed his lips.

"Did you start to suspect when you went to investigate my residence?"

Kang Wenwen shook his head, "At that time, I just thought that 'Gao Xianren' might also be a player. Although Zhang Dengjin and Du Qianlin didn't see the window, I didn't think too much about it."

"But just now in the cell, I saw that the countdown to logout was suspended, so I probably guessed it."

Gu Bo shrugged and said, "I knew I should have waited for you to come out before suspending all of you and letting you come out alone."

"Then Du Qianlin will find out the clues. By the way, you really dote on Zhang Dengjin. He clamored to know who the murderer is, and you identified him at all costs." Kang Wenwen spread his hands.

Gu Bo smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"

"Indeed, those words that Zhang Dengjin said are really ugly. You still feel uncomfortable."

"So you're apologizing for him now?" Kang Wenwen's expression darkened.

"It's nothing, I was just like what he said."

"Wen Wen." Gu Bo said helplessly, "That fat man is just ignorant, so please take care of him."

Kang Wenwen pursed his lips tightly.

"Gu Bo, what the county magistrate said just now, and what Tang Yiran said back then, were all for me. If it wasn't for Du Qianlin's reasons, I should have died long ago just like Nie Fei and senior. ?”

"Because we are all 'useless people' in his mouth."

Gu Bo's face changed, and he turned to look at the straw mat on the branch.

"Then I'm dead too, am I a useless person too?"

Kang Wenwen said, "You are pissed off, don't think I don't know."

"..." Gu Bo couldn't laugh or cry.

"Wen Wen, Tang was still mad at that time, and I hadn't woken up yet. She would suddenly say that those words were indeed related to me, but it was really not me who was targeting you."

"As for what you just said is useless..." Gu Bo suddenly cut off the frequency for some reason.

"Tsk." Gu Bo frowned and clicked his head.

Turning back to Kang Wenwen again, "I'm not biased against Zhang Dengjin, I know you are not the kind of person Zhang Dengjin said."

Kang Wenwen was taken aback, why did he change the subject again?

Gu Bo continued to say, "If you really have no respect for the dead, why would you indulge in this game because of Nie Fei and Lu Ziyang?"

"At the beginning, many people thought that Du Qianlin was the same as them at the memorial service, rationally thinking that this game was just an occasional entertainment game. So some people left and abandoned the game after playing it casually a few times."

Gu Bo smiled wryly, "We are this pathetic, we can only live by the temporary freshness of human beings. If "71" is forgotten by others, then we will die and stay alone in this world unchanged."

"Zhang Dengjin doesn't understand, but you know, you almost became one of us." Gu Bo had a lot of eyes, and Kang Wenwen couldn't understand.

"So, you admit that those people's deaths are all related to you. Just to make them stay?" Kang Wenwen asked.

Gu Bo suddenly said sternly, "Don't they want to leave? No one can leave now. You all think that you can leave after clearing the customs. In fact, no one can leave, and no one wants to leave."

Kang Wenwen was in a daze. In his chaotic memory, his cousin was not what he is now.

"You are the one who understands this game best, and you know my helplessness. That's why I allow you to stay in the game and live with me. I'm waiting for you, when you give up on Du Qianlin, I'll pick you up." Gu Bo said softly.

The wind in the bone forest scattered his voice, but Kang Wenwen could see clearly.

Seeing that Gu Bo turned to leave, Kang Wenwen hurriedly called him to stop.

"The murderer this time is really the county magistrate?"

Gu Bo turned around and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you still think it's Senior Brother Gao?"

"Isn't it? The smell of blood in the yard, the county magistrate doesn't have the skill of skinning people, he does it?"

"The smell of carrion on the ogre's body is indeed to cover up the original smell of the murderer, but it's not the smell of spices, but the smell of herbs rubbed on the skin of Junior Brother Gao." Kang Wenwen looked straight into Gu Bo's eyes, as if To see what he thinks.

Gu Bo still didn't speak, Kang Wenwen could only continue to say, "The county magistrate did murder for his wife, and his wife also suffers from the same disease as Senior Brother Gao, if you guessed right, it should be porphyria. "

Gu Bo imitated Kang Wenwen and spread his hands, "Yes."

"You're right, but the county magistrate didn't do it for his wife, and the first thing that inspired him was his first wife."

Kang Wenwen frowned, "What do you mean?"

Gu Bo didn't answer him directly, "The first person to come to this county was actually Junior Brother Gao. He found out about the maid's arrest, and thus knew that the county magistrate's wife had the same illness as him, so he joined them. That yard also It’s not my original residence, it’s Senior Brother Gao’s, which is the ogre’s place.”

"So it was the county magistrate who killed people first, and Junior Brother Gao skinned them? Why did he do this? Isn't it a crime to do such a thing to a corpse?" Kang Wen asked.

"Hahahahahaha..." Gu Bo suddenly laughed.

"Didn't you say that "71" is not qualified to convict, and is not as authoritative as the law?"

Kang Wenwen frowned, "You monitored us?"

Gu Bo asked him instead, "Is the reality really fair? Let alone whether the murderer can be brought to justice, who cares about those who flog the corpse?"

"You...Are you alluding to something?" Kang Wenwen always felt that Gu Bo would appear here to meet him today, and the words he said had no deep meaning.

Gu Bo gave him a slight smile, turned and left.

Kang Wenwen was about to catch up, but his eyes were blurred.

"Wenwen!"

Waking up suddenly, Kang Wenwen realized that he was still in that dilapidated room.

"Wen Wen." Du Qianlin grabbed his shoulder with a nervous expression.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you come here without making a sound?"

Kang Wenwen shook his heavy head, "It's okay, let's go out and talk about it."
