"What do you think is the most important thing about a code?" Sui Wen suddenly asked Shi Qianyin.

During the conversation, the two had already sat on the sofa in the banquet hall.

There is a small round table beside the milky white sofa, and on the small round table is a pot of untouched black tea.Sui Wen was not interested in black tea, but took a gilt and silver teacup and played with it in his hand.

I don't know if it's because of taking care of the female guests, the teacups placed here are exquisite, cute, small and delicate.

"Secret?" Shi Qianyin thought for a while and replied.

"More than that." Sui Wen said, "In the final analysis, the code is still marked for people to see, so what it requires is-both concealed and conspicuous. It exists in a place that everyone can see, but except for specific objects, The rest of the people turned a blind eye to it, and in the banquet hall, the place that everyone can see seems to be only the ceiling..."

Shi Qianyin subconsciously looked up at the ceiling.

Sui Wen then continued: "But it's obviously not on the ceiling. Even if the ceiling can leave a mark, you can't find a ladder to climb up to leave a mark under the eyes of everyone, right..."

Shi Qianyin looked away calmly, pretending that he didn't want to look for clues on the ceiling just now.

"So—" Sui Wen, "In the banquet hall where everyone gathers, what other places do everyone have to pass?"

They looked at each other.

Afterwards, Shi Qianyin replied: "Entrance and exit!"

After determining the most likely place where the code appeared, Su Wen and Shi Qianyin went straight to the entrance and exit of the banquet hall and the corridor to check.

The walls on both sides of the entrance and exit are covered with wallpaper.

There are a few messy bloodstains painted on the wallpaper.When the first assassination broke out, many of the guests were injured by the Japanese, and the bloodstains at the exit would not attract attention.

That is, this kind of conspicuous and inconspicuous traces is called a password.

But here comes the problem... Sui Wen knew it was a code, but unfortunately he couldn't understand the code.

At the moment of embarrassment, Shi Qianyin who was beside him suddenly said: "The system reminded me that I found the code and translated it...At 417:[-], meet in room [-]."

now--

The two of them glanced at the time in the banquet hall. The clock was beckoning, and it was already [-]:[-].

All the way up, through the third floor, and then to the fourth floor.

The first and second floors of this seemingly luxurious hotel are the places for daily activities of guests, including banquet halls, entertainment rooms, restaurants, and swimming pools; as for the third and fourth floors, they are divided into hotel rooms one after another.

The two walked in the corridor, and the lights shone on the walls and carpet, illuminating the path to 417.

The soundproofing of the rooms here doesn't seem to be very good.

When there were still two or three rooms away from 417, Sui Wen had already heard the voice coming from the front.

His footsteps paused, and he turned his head to speak.

But the unobstructed long corridor did not give him a sense of security.

He paused, moved closer to Shi Qianyin, and pressed the other's ear and said: "The voice in front..."

Shi Qianyin's ears suddenly failed.

The voice that could be heard clearly disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by Su Wen's breath.

The air that seemed to be bundled into a thread drilled in from his ears, like a trembling breath.

It made his body tremble in resonance.

The people beside him didn't make a sound for a long time, and Sui Wen repeated it patiently: "Is the voice in front a bit strange, Qian Yin?"

Only then did Shi Qianyin come back to his senses: "It's strange."

It's not the voice up front that's weird, it's you.

As he thought about it, he quietly moved away from Sui Wen, keeping a safe distance from him, and then he said: "There are five people breathing in front."

Sui Wen: "But it is absolutely impossible to have so many companions here, there is no need at all, so..."

There are Japanese hiding ahead!

But this is not right, why are there Japanese people in the place where the organization meets secretly?

Sui Wen paused, and held Shi Qianyin's hand.

Shi Qianyin guessed Sui Wen's mind at this moment, and he pulled him into the shadow state.

The two kept walking, walking forward all the way, and soon came to room 417.

The door of room 417 was tightly closed, and there was no one at the door, but there was a whole team of Japanese hiding in the diagonally opposite corner.

When Sui Wen and Shi Qianyin arrived in front of 417, they just heard an angry shout from inside 417.

The shout was like a Japanese start switch, and the Japanese rushed out from the corner, kicked the room, and went straight into the room.

Then, "Bang!"

The gunshot was only for a moment.

In an instant, Sui Wen made a decisive decision and followed the Japanese into the room.

He looked into the room and saw the bullet pass through the body of the chef wearing a high hat, and the chef was slowly falling to the ground like a slow motion in a movie.

All eyes are on the chef.

The same is true for Sui Wen, the difference is that he took the opportunity to sneak up next to the chef.

He was in an extremely good state of mind, and he trusted Shi Qianyin's shadow ability incomparably, and calmly reached out to touch the corpse under the eyes of everyone.

He reached into the cook's pocket and found something in the pocket of the chef's coat.

He put it in the palm of his hand, glanced at it when he took it out, and after confirming that it was the thing he was looking for, he immediately held it in the palm of his hand.

Immediately, he stood up from the ground, but did not go out, but stood in the corner, looking towards the people in the room.

Many Japanese people headed by Kimura.

There is also a middle-aged guest in the banquet hall holding a black cane.

Sui Wen recognized this guest. After all, he had the striking feature of holding a cane. He remembered that the other party's name was Huang Xueyi...

"Huang Jun," Kimura said suddenly, "he's dead."

"It's a pity." Huang Xueyi replied to Kimura, "I didn't ask the third person's true face from him."

"The last person left..." Kimura said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kimura." Huang Xueyi said calmly, "I will help you find him."

While talking, they left the scene one file at a time, leaving only Sui Wen and Shi Qianyin in the room.

Sui Wen escaped from the shadow state.

He looked at the closed door thoughtfully, and said to Shi Qianyin: "Qianyin, I have found a way to remove the suspicion on you..."

Shi Qianyin asked curiously, "What way?"

Sui Wen: "If you want to prove that there is no suspicion in you, the best way is of course to prove that there is suspicion in another person. We cannot sacrifice innocent people, but if we encounter some people who are not innocent...then Let the other party dedicate themselves to the great cause."

"Huang Xueyi." Sui Wen smiled, very innocent, "That's him. However, to prove his suspicion, we still need to get some information, such as what quirks he has and what he usually does. The more we know this person , the more we can tailor suspect points for the other party, the more suspicious he will be..."

As for where the news about Huang Xueyi can come from.

Sui Wen thought for a while.

What he thought at first was to collect everything by hand, but soon he denied himself.

At the earliest time, he had sorted out the NPCs in the entire hotel, and no one mentioned Huang Xueyi. At this point, Huang Xueyi was as low-key as his identity.

Since the clues cannot be obtained from the characters' mouths, the clues may need some kind of trigger to appear as before.

And the props related to Huang Xueyi in the hotel...

Guests... welcome desk, guest book!

Sui Wen immediately took Shi Qianyin downstairs.

The welcome desk was not far from the banquet hall, and there was no one behind the semicircular desk.

Sui Wen searched for it, and soon found the guest book from under the welcome desk.

Open the guest book, which is densely packed with the names of all the guests.

Sui Wen needed to verify his conjecture. He put his hand on the guest's name, and suddenly, a virtual frame popped up in front of him, showing the background of the person's life in the virtual frame—some with three lines, some with two lines, all of which are Very simple introduction.

Sure enough, as I thought!

Sui Wen was refreshed, seized the time, and immediately looked up Huang Xueyi's name in the notebook.

It didn't take much time for Sui Wen to find the name in his notebook.

A short introduction belonging to the other party immediately appeared in front of Sui Wen.

Sui Wen muttered to himself: "Doing fabric business...it's useless; there are four sons and three daughters in total? Among them, two illegitimate children, the mistress is...it's also useless; like to play chess? Regularly go to Weiming Chess Club? "

He withdrew his hand, turned his head and said to Shi Qianyin: "I remember that in your character setting, there is also a fixed place to go to. You will look for flowers and ask Liu Zhengfeng to be jealous in Yanzhi Hutong."

Shi Qianyin corrected: "It's not me, I didn't go to the alley."

Sui Wen: "Whether it is Rouge Hutong or Weiming Chess Club, they are all fixed locations. You can contact organizations in Rouge Hutong, and Huang Xueyi can definitely contact organizations in Weiming Chess Club!"

The scapegoat scheme is getting better and better.

Sui Wen took Shi Qianyin to the banquet hall.

In his hand he held the pocket watch which had been fumbled from the cook.

He opened the watch cover, stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, and glanced at the big clock in the banquet hall.

Seconds are the same.

It is because of this pocket watch that the chef can pull down the electric switch at the most accurate time and complete the assassination.

Now, he was about to put the pocket watch that he had taken from the chef into the scapegoat's pocket, which would be a crucial step in pouring dirty water on the scapegoat.

He had already seen Huang Xueyi among the crowd.

The moment Jiang Jiang stepped into the room, Sui Wen stopped abruptly. He opened the task bar again, looked around carefully, and muttered to himself:

"I almost forgot, before starting the last scene, there is one more preparatory work that has not been completed..."

The clock in the banquet hall was ticking, as if time was wandering here for the last time.

At the moment when the hour and minute hands reached the agreed number, messy and heavy footsteps came from the corridor, and Kimura walked in with a group of Japanese.

Wherever they passed, blood snaked.

Blood dripped from things they dragged in their hands.

It was the corpse of a cook.

They dragged it all the way into the ballroom and dropped it like a white rag sack.

All eyes were on the Japanese, and everyone's eyes were full of horror.

Kimura inspected the guests in the banquet hall.

He smiled like a demon with a ferocious expression on his face: "Did you see that? Your companion has already been found out and killed by us. This place is surrounded by us, and you cannot escape. At this time... you still have to die Do you resist?"

Having said this, he suddenly reached out and grabbed a girl from the crowd.

The muzzle of the gun was pressed against the girl's white and tender forehead.

Kimura announced coldly: "Are you still unwilling to come out? Or has no one told me who the real culprit is? If no one talks, no one finds the real culprit, from now on, every 5 minutes, I will kill One person until I kill all of you... Now, I will kill her first!"

There was commotion in the crowd, and suppressed cries echoed in the banquet hall, but no one dared to come out from the crowd, and despair appeared on the girl's face.She stood there straight, like a statue of a crucifixion.

Keeping his promise, Kimura pulled the safety catch, and the moment he was about to pull the trigger, a group of people stood out from the crowd.

Sui Wen: "Wait—"

"Crack" sounded repeatedly, and countless guns pointed at Sui Wen.

Faced with the threat, Su Wen didn't change his face: "I know who the murderer is. But I have a request."

Kimura: "What request?"

Sui Wen: "Before I tell who the murderer is, I want to look at the chef's body first and answer the last doubt in my heart, so that my reasoning can fill in the last piece of incomplete and perfect."

Kimura looked at Su Wen with scrutiny. After a while, he nodded and let Su Wen come up.

Sui Wen walked all the way to the chef under the care of Gun Muu.

He pretended to search for the chef... of course he didn't find anything.

The most critical props have already been hidden in his hands and have been embezzled.

Then he stood up and calmly said to Kimura: "Okay, I have verified the last question in my mind, who is the real culprit, and the truth has come to light."

Kimura asked urgently: "Who is it?"

Sui Wen raised his hand and pointed: "That's him."

All the people in the banquet hall looked in the direction Su Wen raised his hand to point.

All eyes were fixed on one person.

That person was startled and then angry. Before he could speak, Kimura was already furious: "Ridiculous!"

The person Sui Wen was referring to was Huang Xueyi.

The furious Kimura did not frighten Sui Wen. He asked Kimura: "Mr. Kimura, you don't seem to believe that Mr. Huang is the murderer. Is there any special reason for this? After all, I came out to testify against Mr. Huang based on sufficient conditions." of."

Kimura: "Huang Jun can't be the murderer." His eyes full of suspicion fell on Sui Wen's face, "What evidence do you have to prove that Huang Jun is the murderer?"

Sui Wen: "This will start with the analysis of how Mr. Sasaki died..."

"Before telling the evidence, let's review the specific circumstances of the murder: Mr. Sasaki entered the banquet hall, and the banquet hall suddenly lost power. At this time, the gun rang out, and then the power was restored. Unfortunately, Mr. Sasaki was shot and died.

"To complete this process, at least two people are required to cooperate at the same time. One pulls the switch and the other fires the gun. Then the problem arises. The switch is placed on the first floor, and the banquet hall is on the second floor. What are these two people doing?" When it happened, they communicated with each other?"

"Obviously there is a third contact person." Kimura said coldly.

"Mr. Kimura, even if there is a third contact person, could he run from the second floor to the first floor at the moment he saw Mr. Sasaki coming in, and then notify the companion in charge of pulling the switch to pull it down?"

Kimura was silent.

Sui Wen continued: "This is obviously impossible, so they made an appointment in advance. They knew when Sasaki would arrive, so they made an appointment in advance, at a fixed time...they did it!"

The slightly raised voice seemed to bring everyone back to the moment of darkness when the switch was pulled.

"So," Sui Wen said again, "the person who pulled the switch must have evidence of the same thing."

Even though he still doubted Sui Wen, Kimura's expression couldn't help being a little shaken.

Kimura: "What evidence?"

Sui Wen: "Pocket watch, the person who pulls the switch must have a pocket watch with the same time and seconds as the clock in the banquet hall. But," he said slowly, "just now I went to check on the chef's body and found that the chef was on his body. Not carrying this pocket watch..."

Kimura sneered: "You mean the chef is not the one who pulls the switch?"

Sui Wen: "No, I did a detailed survey around the switch. First, I found oily fingerprints on the wall, and then I found traces of the chef's top hat on the cover of the switch. All signs indicate that the chef is the one who pulled the switch. people."

Kimura frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Sui Wen: "Mr. Kimura, what I want to say is that the evidence that should exist on the chef has been quietly taken away. Only people who know that he has a pocket watch—that is, his companions will do so."

Kimura: "You want to say..."

Sui Wen: "This watch should be on Huang Xueyi."

At this moment, Huang Xueyi finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He said sharply to Sui Wen, "You're lying! I don't have a pocket watch at all."

Sui Wen: "Then Mr. Huang dares to stretch out the hand that was put in the pocket and clenched into a fist, so that everyone can see it?"

Huang Xueyi paused for a moment.

Kimura narrowed his eyes and turned his head to the Japanese soldiers beside him. One of the Japanese soldiers put away his guns and walked up to Huang Xueyi.

Kimura said: "Mr. Huang, please open your hand."

Huang Xueyi hesitated for a moment, then helplessly spread out his hand, in the palm of which lay a brass pocket watch.

Kimura took the pocket watch in his hand, he opened the case, and glanced at the clock in the banquet hall, the minutes and seconds were accurate.

Huang Xueyi couldn't help explaining: "I don't have a pocket watch, and I don't have a pocket watch. I don't know why this pocket watch appeared in my pocket..."

Kimura was noncommittal.He put away his pocket watch and turned to Sui Wen: "This is your evidence?"

Sui Wen smiled: "This is just the last fragment of evidence I added based on the chef's corpse."

This passage is actually obtained by reverse derivation based on the results. If you carefully consider the causal relationship, there will be loopholes in it.But it doesn't matter, now he is the one who preemptively strikes, as long as he fools the other party to follow his own train of thought at this moment.

Sui couldn't smell it and asked again: "I don't know how much Mr. Kimura knows about Mr. Huang?"

Kimura said lightly: "I don't know much."

Sui Wen: "I don't know much, all I know is that Mr. Huang likes the Weiming Chess Club very much. Every three days, he will stay in the Weiming Chess Club for an afternoon..."

Kimura: "..."

His train of thought followed me!

Sui Wen compared a yeah in his heart.

Sui Wen: "The chess club can do a lot of things, and it can do a lot of things in an afternoon."

Huang Xueyi sneered: "You mean I contact others through the chess club?"

Sui Wen shook his head: "I mean you have such a unique habit."

Without waiting for Huang Xueyi to refute, Sui Wen said abruptly, "Just now, you smeared a symbol with blood at the entrance of the banquet gate."

Huang Xueyi was taken aback for a moment, he began to feel uneasy for some reason.

"If you guess correctly, this is the code you left for the chef—a code that only he and you can understand."

"Mr. Huang, can you explain why a person who has a unique way of communicating with the rebels happened to be one of the few people who stood beside Sasaki when the murder happened?"

Kimura said in a low voice, "Huang Jun..."

Huang Xueyi became angry. He realized that the other party was using a very despicable sophistry to pull him into the water, but because of his extremely special status, he had to expend countless words to explain it clearly.

And Kimura was actually deceived by his rhetoric!

Huang Xueyi blurted out in desperation: "Mr. Kimura, I am from your side. The reason why I am close to Mr. Sasaki is because I want to protect Sasaki and his—"

"And what's on him?" Sui Wen asked immediately, and he smiled with great interest, "It seems that Mr. Huang knows Mr. Sasaki very well, and also knows some things we don't know..."

Kimura's eyes have completely stayed on Huang Xueyi.

The cruelty like a wild wolf reappeared in his eyes again.

Sui Wen's last words were the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Because Kimura knew about that stuff.

And "Huang Xueyi" in Kimura's eyes should never know about that thing...

He waved to the soldiers around him, signaling them to step forward and grab Huang Xueyi.

Huang Xueyi couldn't help taking a step back, he finally realized that in this situation, there were some things that could never be explained, and there was no room for him to recover.

He could only sternly say to Kimura: "Mr. Kimura, you have been confused, the real murderer is not me, it just happens to be the person who testified against me—"

Sui Wen is calm and relaxed.

The true identity of Huang Xueyi, who appears to be a high-ranking government official, is just as he thought.

Not only is he familiar with our passwords, but he also helped the Japanese kill his teammates. He is 100% a spy planted by the Japanese inside the organization.

He is also a senior spy who has reached a very high level.

In the old routine of anti-war dramas, senior spies generally have a single-line connection.

The top-secret information that Sasaki brought was 80.00% likely to be brought to this Huang Xueyi, otherwise, why would Sasaki bring the top-secret information to the banquet?

Sasaki is dead, and Huang Xueyi can't prove his innocence without being online.

In Kimura's eyes, he is just a passer-by who shouldn't know about "intelligence", and once he utters the word "intelligence", he becomes cold.

The people sent by Kimura have captured Huang Xueyi.

All right.

Sui Wen thought so.

The most critical suspicion was cleared——

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the crowd.

Sui Wen looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment, and saw Chen Man walking out of the crowd.

Chen Man walked out of the crowd and came all the way to Kimura.

She glanced at Sui Wen, then at Shi Qianyin.

Her bright eyes flickered, and a cruel smile gradually flashed out.

She said to Kimura: "Mr. Kimura, Mr. Wen's reasoning is very wonderful, he knows all of this well, so is it possible that he is also one of the main emissaries this time..."

The wolf-like eyes left Huang Xueyi.

Kimura turned his attention to Sui Wen.

He raised his hand again...
