How to break into a math book

It seemed that this was a murder scene, and the person who fell on the table was the deceased.

The woman kneeling in front of Tu Hua kept sobbing. From her intermittent words, Tu Hua probably figured out the cause and effect of the murder in Sagittarius Palace.

The deceased was an astrologer from the Sagittarius Palace. He was always mysterious, and he was extremely accurate in divination. The star reward Tu Hua was looking for was likely to be in the hands of this astrologer.

The lady in the red dress is the girlfriend of the astrologer, named A Yang. Today she was going to visit the astrologer, and happened to meet this young man next to her on the way, who was the younger brother of the astrologer, Xiaolong.So the two walked together, and when they reached the door, they saw this middle-aged man wandering outside the house.

According to the middle-aged man, he is a businessman named You Qian. He came here this time to find an astrologer for divination, but he knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. When he was about to leave, he ran into A Yang and Xiaolong.A Yang had the key to the room, and when he opened the door, he found the astrologer lying on the table, his breathing stopped.

Tu Hua carefully checked the situation in the room. There were only the deceased and these three people in the room, and everyone's activities were limited to this room.Although according to A Yang's narration, this case has cause and effect, but in fact it is like a room escape game, all the clues are in one house.

In other words, the scene of the case only includes the room where the murder occurred, and the murderer cannot be someone else, but must be among the three.With the removal of possible interfering factors, the case becomes much simpler.

One of the three must be lying.

Tu Hua's range of activities is not very large, only this small house of less than [-] square meters, the compartments of the house are all set up with enchantments by the system, which means that those are all parts that have nothing to do with the game.

Although Tu Hua has watched several episodes of Sherlock Holmes, he is not very good at finding clues.He first went to observe the dead.The deceased sat in front of the divination table, with his upper body lying on the table.The strange thing is that he wears a mask on his face, a ferocious ghost image, which looks a little scary in this gloomy environment.

Tu Hua didn't dare to look at that face more, and lowered his head to examine his body carefully.There were no wounds on the body, and there were no traces of fighting, which proved that an acquaintance committed the crime.It just so happened that there were two cups of coffee on the astrologer's table, Tu Hua reached out to touch it, and there was still warmth left.

The cup near the astrologer spilled a little, Tu Hua stretched out his finger to twist a little, and put it under his nose to smell it. Apart from the smell of coffee, there was no other strange smell.

Isn't it poisoned?Tu Hua originally thought that someone poisoned the coffee, and the astrologer died after drinking the poisoned coffee, but according to what was shown on TV, shouldn't there be some strange smell like almonds in the coffee?

Tu Hua was puzzled, stood up and continued to search for other clues.Then a small medicine bottle was found in the trash can next to the coffee machine, with a few words written on the bottle: colorless and odorless.

Tuhua: ...

Well, that was poisoned.The method of killing has been determined, and the next step is to find the purpose of killing.In general, homicides are divided into several types: love killings, vendetta killings, killings for money, or revenge killings.

Soon, Tu Hua found an important clue in the corner of the room - an opened safe, with nothing in it, it should have been taken out.

So is it murder for money?

But it is also possible that the money is taken away specially for love killings, vendetta killings, etc., as a cover-up.So this clue does not seem to be enough to be an argument.

After searching around again, Tu Hua found no more meaningful clues, so he decided to question the three suspects.

First is A Yang: "When was the last time you saw the dead?"

A Yang's eyes were still red, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard Tu Hua's question, as if he had a hard time remembering: "It's been about a month..."

Tu Hua was surprised: "One month? Aren't you a couple? It's been so long since we met?"

A Yang wiped away her tears: "He is very busy at work, and I have a lot of things to do, so... there is less time to see each other."

Xiaolong who was at the side snorted coldly when he heard her say that.

"What do you think, Mr. Xiaolong?" This Xiaolong seemed to have always been very disdainful towards A Yang, and Tu Hua guessed that there must be something wrong between the two of them.

Xiaolong glanced at A Yang and mocked, "She...she's just a slut!"

"You spitting blood!" A Yang quarreled with him with staring eyes.

Xiaolong looked at her with disgust: "You and my brother only meet once a month, isn't it because of that man?"

"Don't think I don't know, you cheated a long time ago!" Xiaolong counted A Yang's crimes in detail, "You have hooked up with that man a long time ago, but it is because my brother is rich that you are not willing to break up with him !"

Is it love killing?

Tu Hua stopped the quarrel between them, and said to A Yang: "Is there any friction between you and the astrologer?"

Knowing that Tu Hua was suspicious of her, A Yang cried out, "I... I did fall in love with someone else. This time, I just wanted to make it clear to him and break up peacefully! I really didn't kill him!"

"It's Xiaolong..." A Yang looked at him bitterly, "His motive is the biggest!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiaolong was very angry.

"You lost more than 500 million yuan in gambling last month, and all the debt collectors came to your brother!" A Yang looked disgusted, "I think you, a bad gambler, are afraid that your brother will not lend you money, so you seek money." Let money kill you!"

Xiaolong quickly explained to Tu Hua: "I do owe money, but I will never commit murder for money! I came this time just to tell my brother that I will never gamble again, let He first lent me the money for emergency!"

Both have motives.

Although everyone said that they didn't kill anyone, the motives for killing for love and seeking money were deep enough.Tu Hua walked towards the middle-aged businessman You Qian who had been silent all this time: "And you, do you have a motive?"

You Qian carried the suitcase in his left hand, and kept wiping sweat with his right hand. He seemed very nervous: "How is it possible, Mr. Detective, I didn't even enter the door, and I've been waiting outside! This is the first time I've seen an astrologer." !"

He had indeed been waiting outside the door, but that didn't mean he hadn't come in.What if he had already talked to the astrologer before Ayang and Xiaolong came, poisoned the astrologer, locked the door on purpose and escaped?

Tu Hua continued to ask him, "Why did you come to the astrologer for divination?"

You Qian's eyes dodged a little: "My company has encountered some problems. I want to ask an astrologer to help me find out how to get out of the predicament."

Tu Hua stared at him: "The astrologer told you that there was no way out of the predicament, so you killed him in a fit of anger?"

"No, no, how is it possible!" You Qian waved his hands again and again, "I never saw him at all!"

The cliché failed.

Tu Hua shrugged in frustration. He originally wanted to test this greasy middle-aged businessman. He might slip up when he was pressed, but this man was not fooled at all.Therefore, all three of them are now suspects, and there is not enough evidence to prove that any of them are innocent, so the case seems to be at an impasse.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Tu Hua was in a state of anxiety.If the conditions of this case are all provided to him on the bright side, maybe he can pass the customs quickly by reasoning.However, his observation ability is not strong, so when faced with this kind of level that relies on detailed reasoning, it is easy to be cornered.

He even wanted to ask Mr. X for help.

But Mr. X looked at him with a relaxed face: "This level is very simple, and the clue is actually right in front of you, don't panic."

Mr. X means that this clue is...obvious?Tu Hua quickly checked the house again, this time his focus was on the more obvious things.

The astrology books on the bookshelf, the first bottle in the trash can next to the coffee machine, the warm coffee spilled on the table, and...

Tu Hua was startled, and his eyes fell on the astrologer's mask.

This astrologer is a very mysterious person. According to what A Yang said, priests like them are generally unwilling to show their true colors, so he always wears a mask.

But you can't wear a mask when you meet your girlfriend and brother, right?

Tu Hua said to A Yang and Xiao Long: "When he usually meets you...does he wear a mask?"

"No." The two said in unison.

Tu Hua immediately looked at You Qian, who was clutching the suitcase tightly, with a nervous expression.Tu Hua slowly approached him, pointing to the box in his hand: "Mr. You Qian, can you open your suitcase?"

If Tu Hua guessed correctly, the murderer was You Qian.

Although astrologers don't want to show their true colors, they don't wear masks when they meet their younger brothers and girlfriends.But he died wearing a mask, and there were two cups of coffee on the table, obviously just had a reception.

So the murderer could only be a stranger's idle money to the astrologer.

When You Qian heard that Tu Hua wanted him to open the suitcase, he quickly hugged the suitcase to his chest and backed away repeatedly: "The suitcase...the suitcase contains my money..."

Murder for money.

You Qian said that his company had a problem, so he came to an astrologer for divination, which proved that he was short of money.Perhaps the purpose of his coming to the astrologer was not divination?Astrologers are well-known from far and near, and they make a lot of money from divination. It is very likely that the money was planned for a long time, and they killed the astrologers with the guns prepared in advance. After getting the money, they pretended to be nothing. The appearance of what happened is hiding outside the door.Maybe he was about to leave when he met A Yang and Xiao Long, so he had no choice but to pretend he hadn't entered yet.

Tu Hua stared at him with burning eyes: "You are the murderer."

In the next second, the aperture on the back wall of the room opened instantly, and the coating was cleared.But this house didn't have any information about the stars' rewards. There were two suspects, a murderer, and a corpse. No one told him where the rewards were at all.

Tu Hua suspects that this constellation reward is different from the previous item rewards, it is not directly issued by the system, but needs to be found by himself. If there is a reward in this house but he misses it like this, it will not be worth the loss.

Tu Hua is going to search the house one last time, and if there is nothing special, he will leave immediately and go to the next house.But who knew that You Qian, who had just been accused of being the murderer, suddenly dropped his suitcase and rushed towards him like a madman.This NPC looked very ferocious, with red eyes, and seemed to be holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.

The other two NPCs were also shocked when they saw this, and ran away screaming.Tu Hua didn't expect that the NPC would attack the challenger on his own initiative, and You Qian rushed towards him in a daze.Just when the dagger was about to stab his arm, Mr. X suddenly appeared, kicked You Qian away, pulled Tu Hua and ran towards the aperture.

The moment the two left the aperture, the exit was closed.Tu Hua vaguely saw You Qian's ferocious face through the gap, if the exit hadn't been sealed in time, he might have rushed out.

Tu Hua, who returned to the entrance, broke out in cold sweat and was still in shock.What's going on with this level?Will the challenger still be in danger?Although the NPCs encountered in the game so far are not very friendly, they will not attack the challenger, right?That Youqian was quite normal a second ago, why did he suddenly go crazy?

Tu Hua was full of doubts, and was about to ask Mr. X what was going on, but found that he was frowning with a serious expression.

This made Tu Hua feel that this matter must not be simple.If Youqian's attack is the content of the system settings, Mr. X will never show up to protect him.He is obviously a god-like figure in the game, maybe he can make other NPCs disappear with a snap of his fingers, but Mr. X directly kicked Youqian.

This is obviously a stress response, so Mr. X did not expect this matter.

Although there was an accident, the game continued.Tu Hua found that the constellation of Sagittarius that he left had been lit up, emitting a glowing red light.Several other constellations are in the state of being occupied, only Aquarius and Pisces are lit up like the painted Sagittarius, one is red light and the other is blue light.

The red light should be Tu Hua's teammate, and the blue light is from Sui Li's team.This proves that two people have cleared the level and entered the new constellation, and only Gemini and the first house are left in the whole field, and no one has entered yet.

Tu Hua was about to rush over, but Mr. X suddenly stopped him: "Wait."

He paused: "It may be dangerous."

Tu Hua had never seen such an uneasy expression on his face, and his heart hung involuntarily: "What do you mean?"

"There should be a bug in this level." Mr. X frowned, "The NPC's attack on you just now was not set by the system, it should be a bug problem. So I can't make sure that other tasks in this level are safe of."

"What consequences will the bug bring?" Tu Hua looked at him, "I mean...if that NPC just stabbed me, would I die?"

Mr. X shook his head: "You can't die, but you will be eliminated."

"Then it doesn't matter." Tu Hua turned to Mr. X while walking towards the twin wombs, "If I don't work hard to pass the level, the result I will still face is elimination, so I might as well try my best to fight for it."

He looked at Mr. X behind him, and felt inexplicably relieved: "Besides... don't I still have you?"

The feeling of being trusted filled his entire chest, looking at the innocent and persistent boy in front of him, Mr. X's heart suddenly softened.Everything seemed unimportant, at this moment he was the guardian assigned to the boy by the system, as long as he was always by his side to protect him, that was enough.

He pursed his lips, followed behind Tu Hua, and said softly, "Okay."
