Wow, I can form an NPC in a survival game

After recalling for a moment, she said: "According to this reasoning, the murderer should be Michael."

Yu Anle then added with certainty: "At that time, the waiter was trying to put out the fire, and the scene was very chaotic. He took advantage of the chaos and knocked over the wine glass again. And Michael happened to be the shuffler of the last round of cards!"

Yang Lizi continued to reason: "Based on your description, all the logic fits together. Michael had enough motivation to commit the crime because Tony sold his business secrets to competitors, which led to his own bankruptcy.

In order to get revenge, his fiancée Alice organized this train trip under the pretext of being engaged. Since Alice was a nurse, Michael could easily get the neurotoxin from her. It can be said that throughout the incident, Michael had the conditions to fully prepare for the time and place of the crime.

He may have prearranged a small fire in the carriage, chose to touch the edge of the playing cards when shuffling them, and applied the neurotoxin. After Tony was poisoned, he also deliberately knocked over the wine glass to erase the evidence on the murder weapon!

Every key link is related to him, so he is likely the murderer! "

This reasoning seemed to make sense, but Yu Anle still felt that they had missed some details.

Based on this reasoning, there are two possible ways that Michael poisoned the playing cards.

First, as Yang Lizi said, Michael applied the neurotoxin to the playing cards when he was shuffling them. However, Michael was not a professional magician or dealer. As a careful murderer, would he rely on such a complicated operation to commit the crime? Or, what if it was not his turn to shuffle the cards before or after the fire?

Secondly, he may have an accomplice, or bribed the train attendants to prepare the dealt poker cards in advance and let them enter the gambling table. However, in this case, could he predict that Tony would ask his assistant Anthony to go to the service desk to change the new cards? What role did Anthony play in this?

Yu Anle expressed these doubts, and everyone fell into deep thought.

At this time, Mo Yuan added: "If we reason based on the second possibility, the copy logic is unlikely to arrange an 'accomplice' that the player does not know about, which is contrary to the internal logic of the copy. Therefore, we can rule out the train attendant as Michael's accomplice, so Michael's accomplice can only be assistant Anthony."

Mo Yuan paused for a moment, his eyes deep. His expression was not like that of a ten-year-old child at all.

He put forward a bold hypothesis: "Why can't Assistant Anthony be the murderer?"

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Mo Yuan further explained: "Michael and Anthony do not have a particularly close relationship. If Michael wanted to commit a crime, he would not have to tell anyone about his plan and could do it completely independently.

Assistant Anthony joined in the middle of the process. He brought new playing cards, so he had plenty of time to prepare a special deck of playing cards and hide it in his pocket. He only needed to replace the playing cards with his own at the right time, and then no matter who shuffled and dealt the cards, the cards doped with poison would fall into Tony's hands, achieving the purpose of the murder plan. "

Dongfang Xi, who was standing aside, listened to their analysis and felt that her IQ was crushed again. She seriously doubted that she followed the guild into the dungeon. Although it seemed safe, she did not really grow. Is the future really full of hope?

Yang Lizi asked in confusion: "What is Assistant Anthony's motive? Is it just because his boss often exploits him? If Tony dies, he doesn't seem to gain anything from it."

Mo Yuan continued, "Dongfang Xi mentioned that Anthony had a secret crush on Tony's wife Selina."

Yu Anle nodded and added: "Yes, Selena has been telling Anthony that she feels betrayed. She longs for freedom and claims to have given Tony a lot of insurance."

Mo Yuan continued: "So Anthony probably planned the entire murder plan for Selina. And one year after the murder timeline, Anthony became the acting general manager of Tony Company. Selina is not a business expert, so in fact the control of the company fell completely into Anthony's hands.

For Selina, she is the person closest to the truth, and she may be able to use some of Anthony's secrets to better manipulate him.

Anthony became Selena's sharp weapon and he finally got what he wanted, career success and the admiration of the women he secretly loved. "

This line of reasoning seems more convincing, but still lacks some kind of smoking gun.

Or, could it be that the copy mechanism itself contains some elements of gambling?

Time passed quickly as everyone was reasoning. Soon, 30 minutes were about to end. Yu Anle picked up the playing cards on the table and distributed them to everyone: "It has been confirmed that the murder weapon is a playing card. Let's return to the real timeline and continue."

The clock struck 9:35, and everyone was sent back to the timeline one year later. A severe headache came over Yu Anle, and he looked at his attribute panel. His consciousness and hunger attributes had dropped to 55 and respectively.

Now that the entire incident was clear and the clues were almost exhausted, and considering that the passage of time would exacerbate the decline in attribute values, she did not dare to stay any longer. She took the playing cards and walked with Mo Yuan towards the Sphinx, a lion-headed beast guarding the front of the carriage.

Yu Anle asked: "Sphinx, you said that if we find the murder weapon, we can exchange the murderer's name with you for the chance to go to the next room. So, what will happen if I answer the wrong murderer's name?"

The Sphinx replied: "In this carriage, the challenger has three chances to answer. But I want to remind you that there is only one chance in the next room. If you answer incorrectly, you will bear the punishment of a sinner."

Hearing that there were three chances, Yu Anle calmed down a little.

At least now the clues and conclusions all point to two suspects, and she can verify them one by one.

"We found the murder weapon, it's this deck of playing cards." She handed the evidence to Sphinx, "Is the murderer Michael, the mine owner?"

Sphinx took the evidence and confirmed that it was the correct murder weapon, but then shook his head: "Wrong answer, you have two more chances."

Yu Anle suddenly realized: "The murderer is Anthony."

The Sphinx nodded to indicate that the answer was correct. It took a step away and said, "You may now enter the Chamber of Justice."

The copper door behind it was engraved with purple runes, and the originally black vortex turned into a shining platinum. Yu Anle was about to step in when he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "If you have the chance, would you consider leaving this copy and visiting other worlds?"

This ancient Egyptian mythical beast is a symbol of order and power in legends, and is extremely powerful. Although it seems to be just a neutral gatekeeper boss in this instance, without showing any abilities, Yu Anle firmly believes that an NPC named "Sphinx" in a horror instance is definitely not a simple one.
