moon shot plan

"Understood? Tell me?" Xie Yi looked at his excited look, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

An Ran took a few deep breaths, calmed down her excited mood, and organized her thoughts while talking: "Yes, we want to find out what they have in common, this is the root cause of the murderer killing them, and the relationship with the Red Church The connection between them is just that the murderer knows their way..."

"Zhao Bo, is irritable and irritable, difficult to get along with his colleagues, and often abuses his wife; Feng Ye, often has conflicts with his parents and boyfriend over trivial matters, even on the Internet, and gets angry at every turn; Wei Mingkai, with his parents, Lovers don’t get along very well, and even often beat up their same-sex lovers, and from his chat records, he often quarrels with Party A because of disagreements, and he never gives in..."

"What's this called? Bad temper? Or... the crime of rage?"

After he said these words, his fingers were trembling, and his heart was beating even faster.

"The Red Church is also aimed at this, right?" After trying to understand this, the inextricable clues became clear, and the truth of the dungeon was finally revealed in front of him, which made him incoherent excitedly: "The one who affected this dungeon is the Wrath Demon King? "

"I thought it was weird before, why the social relations of these deceased people were so bad, and even their closest relatives commented that they were 'difficult to get along with'... So this is the so-called 'crime of rage'?"

As he spoke, he shook his head in confusion: "But... what image does the Red Church appear as? What is the Madonna in red? Why does she let the believers judge those who committed the crime of rage? "

"Besides... Zhao Bo is also a believer here, but hasn't he committed a 'crime' himself? And that Lu Xichao, he just admitted that he's a 'heavy sin'... If we infer from Zhao Bo's crimes , then the crime committed by Lu Xichao should also be rage..."

"Besides, Fang Qianqian seems to believe in this religion!" Fang Qianqian is the one who An Ran understands the most among these people, and she can't understand her bad temper better. According to the standards of the Red Church, she really has been executed a hundred times for nothing. However, in fact, the Red Church has always maintained a cooperative relationship with Fang Qianqian, and Fang Qianqian herself even worships its teachings very much-isn't this a very contradictory thing?

An Ran became confused again after thinking about it, and the clues that had been sorted out with great difficulty instantly became a mess again.

"You're right, don't doubt yourself." Xie Yi nodded his head with a smile, as if guiding him casually: "The two are not contradictory. They want to eradicate the crime of rage. There are nothing more than two Method—influence or destroy."

"Reform...or just execute him?" An Ran's eyes lit up, and his train of thought was instantly connected again: "So that lover's body...that is, the holy body, is actually prepared for this? Through baptism, reform those believers who were originally furious Become a gentle, gentle, non-resenting 'saint', as for those who do not believe in religion, or are stubborn, and have no value in saving, they will be executed directly..."

"But aren't they all the same in essence?" An Ran didn't understand.

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows: "Perhaps they think that being recognized by the Madonna in red means that they are qualified for redemption. As long as they obey her will, their previous actions can be written off."

An Ran shook her head incomprehensibly, and asked again: "Who is that Madonna in red? Is she also Santa Ana? Or is there someone else? Why did she let those believers kill others?"

Xie Yi lowered his eyes, a little absent-minded: "Perhaps he also wants to make amends."

Seeing that he didn't know, An Ran didn't bother here too much, and quickly returned to the topic: "We can guess that he is the murderer with what Lu Xichao said just now, but... there is no strong evidence, although we There are so many strange magical elements in this copy, but the background is still a society ruled by law, I am afraid that he must be brought to justice to pass the level, and it should not be resolved in private."

"But I suffer from lack of evidence... Do I have to wait until the next time he comes to make a routine? But I'm afraid that it will be too late, and I still don't know the timing of his murder..." An Ran was really worried: "Criminal crime now There is a suspect, but if you want to investigate him, you should go back to the investigation team!"

Speaking of which, I don't know if Team Leader Fang and the others will look for him when he disappears, or will they be fooled by Fang Qianqian?

The joy of just sorting out the clues was instantly diluted a lot, and An Ran began to worry again when she thought that she was trapped here now.

"Xie Yi, do you know of any way to get out?" He looked eagerly at the man beside him.

Xie Yi smiled and nodded the mask on the table: "Did you see this?"

"What? Are you going out wearing a mask?" An Ran didn't quite understand, "I'm afraid it won't work. Besides, how can we use a mask?"

Xie Yi smiled and said, "I didn't want you to wear a mask—have you seen this pattern? Guess what it is?"

What Xie Yi was referring to was the very strange pattern that looked like a cross and a four-pointed star.

An Ran tried to say: "Is this what they call the 'cross star'?"

Xie Yi nodded and explained: "That's right, this is the so-called cross star. The stars generally represent the Virgin who guides the way in the dark, and the reverse cross represents judgment. The combination of these two elements is the Virgin Mary in red." symbols of."

An Ran still didn't understand what this had to do with leaving here.

"Both Zhang Ming and Lu Xichao mentioned the cross star, do you still remember?" Xie Yi asked again.

An Ran thought about it carefully: "Zhang Ming once said, 'See if he dares to pick up the cross star'... This was referring to Lu Xichao, and Lu Xichao himself said just now, 'Your Highness, give me the cross star'..."

"The cross star they mentioned is not just a graphic code name... They seem to be talking about some kind of utensil..." An Ran clapped his hands suddenly: "Or simply some kind of weapon?"

"I don't know if it's a weapon, but the cross star is indeed the name of a utensil—to be precise, a certain sacred utensil." Xie Yi bent down and turned over the cowhide book in his hand a few more times. page, clicked on the agenda for February 2th:

"This day the red church will hold a rally, and the Madonna in red may descend on the venue. At that time, many believers will come to worship. On that day, they will invite out the holy vessel, which is the cross star. If we can get it, we will You can break through the magic barrier and leave here safely."

"February 2th..." An Ran bit her finger and hesitated: "Then I have to wait for three more days, I'm afraid that Lu Xi will commit crimes again during this period..."

"You think he committed the crime randomly?" Xie Yi smiled.

An Ran shook her head in confusion: "I don't think so, if he committed the crime randomly, the frequency of the crime should be higher, but the interval between these few cases is not too short... I thought he was It is necessary to choose holidays to commit crimes to expand the influence, but the third case occurred on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, directly avoiding the Lantern Festival... It is because I don’t know what rules he commits crimes, so I have no idea.”

Xie Yi listened quietly, and then asked with a smile: "If you really want to expand your influence, you should choose Christmas. How could you choose it on the carnival night? Besides... the second case will be directly on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day Have you skipped such a big festival?"

An Ran shrugged her shoulders, and said helplessly: "So guessed wrong, the first two cases were too coincidental, I just thought about the festival."

"Aside from the special conditions of the festival? Returning to the date itself, can we find some patterns?" Xie Yi continued to be persuasive.

安然尝试着把那几个日期写在纸上：12月26日、1月13日、1月29日……

"What kind of rule is this?" An Ran turned her pen around, but still couldn't figure it out, so she had to guess wildly: "Could it be because of the multiples of 3? But there are also people who have been skipped, it doesn't make sense at all... the number of days between several dates Not the same..."

"It's true that they are different, but is it irrelevant?" Xie Yi pointed to him: "16, 15..."

An Ran's eyes widened suddenly: "The interval time is decreasing? He is counting down!"
