[Variety Drama] Serious Nonsense

After Flora blurted out these words, Reid on the side could hardly believe his ears.Lopez, the good girl in his mind who probably only regarded him as a good friend, actually wants to replace him...to die?The kind of joy that was almost bursting out, followed by a pot of biting coldness.

He could see that she was scared, but she didn't want to see any more people lying down.

"No, let me go, she's lying to you! She's talking about herself." Rhett dismissed Flora's proposal.

Flora saw the slender FBI agent standing sideways in front of her, and turned her head. There was no fear in her dark brown eyes, and she looked at her purely and calmly. "I promised you, Flora, that I'll let you leave here safely. I'll be fine. Think about the case of Uncanny Valley."

—he called her, Flora.

Mr. A made a gesture, and Rhett was dragged down like the previous one.

That gunshot sounded from the outside to the inside, almost piercing through Flora's eardrums and reaching her heart.

She couldn't believe what happened just now, and it took another 10 minutes for her to recover a little bit, and only the last words Rhett said to her were left in her head: "—I'll be fine, think about it carefully Think Uncanny Valley."

He's a well-trained fbi, he'll be fine, Flora reassured herself.But... She could clearly hear the piercing sound of the gun piercing through the air.

Her heart was tightly grasped, but the current situation did not allow her to be sad.

Her brain is still in a mess, and she can only recall as much as possible the content of the "Uncanny Valley Case" that Rhett narrated before.

I scanned the uneven books one by one again with my fingers, and when I saw the body of Odinson and the rows of deliberately separated bookshelves, something suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Mr. A, I think I know what that gift is." Flora could hear how incomplete the syllables she uttered were in sadness and uncertainty.

"What is it?" Mr. A flashed greedy eyes.

Flora walked up the stairs to the platform on the second floor in full view of everyone, and she mustered up a lot of courage before she said: "Sorry, I can't do it alone, please bring back the doctor you took away earlier, And, by the way, wake up the person on the ground, the wooden floor is still quite cold."

Mr. A smiled, as if he thought she was joking: "They are all dead."

"You know, they are not dead." Flora's words were more like comforting herself.

——"Douglas faked his death in order to maintain his own safety"

She remembered what Rhett had said, that he wanted to tell her that someone was feigning death.Then the most likely one is Odinson who fell down at the beginning, he disguised himself as a corpse, and listened to the big scene from the best position.

But Rhett...she wasn't sure.But since he said that he said he would be fine, then this doctor with an IQ of 187 would not be involved in the crime.

She heard the applause downstairs, and the old man in the middle of the hall got up from the ground, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and began to wipe the plasma in front of him.And Rhett...she was relieved to see him being ushered in through the front door.

"Speak, the rest of the people who were taken away will come back safely after speaking."

Flora cast her eyes on Rhett, and she almost cried the moment she knew he was alive and well.

Rhett winked at her from below, telling her that he was safe, as if he had expected it all.

He spoke very quickly and said: "Most of the books here are Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" series. It can be seen that your great-grandfather is a fan of detective novels. The books on the bookshelf are not arranged in alphabetical order. Because each of them has a special meaning when they are placed in a fixed position and combined together. The library will naturally remind people of Sherlock Holmes' favorite place when he was at Oxford University in England."

After finishing this paragraph, Rhett looked at Flora: "Lopez, do you have a copy of "Oxford Dictionary" near you?"

"Yes!" Flora found it after searching.

"Standing at the position of the Oxford Dictionary, and then overlooking the protrusions in the books below, each bookshelf is reported to me in dotted lines from top to bottom, and there is a pause between each bookshelf."

"One line, three points; three lines; three lines; one line, one point, one line." Flora didn't understand what this meant at all.

After listening, Rhett lowered his head and thought for a few seconds before raising his head.

"Tell me, what is that gift?" Mr. A was a little anxious.

"Book (book), Mr. A, no, Mr. Robert Odinson, your great-grandfather left you a gift of these books." Reid immediately added, "And, you have successfully constituted the crime of illegal coercion."

Flora turned her head to look at Rhett in surprise. She thought it was Robert Odinson who had been lying on the central floor playing the corpse.

Sure enough, the gap between them is still a bit big...

"Books? How could they be books?" Odinson was clearly in disbelief that his wealthy great-grandfather had only left him books as gifts.He froze for a moment, then realized something: "How do you know that I am Odinson?"

"You coerce so many people, just greedily to solve the mystery that your great-grandfather left in these books. You send people to pretend to be corpses to intimidate customers, and then use the method of killing a person in 10 minutes to stimulate their sense of urgency." Reid crossed his arms and continued at his usual speed, "I discovered through profiling that you, who are rigorous, organized, and meticulously planned, are obviously a criminal with a high IQ. You may be a leader, a rich man, or even a member of parliament. But you His words and deeds seem to be playing the role of a murderous psychopath, killing people without rules and reasons. Your goal is not money, but you don’t kill excessively. This is contrary to the previous profile. So unless you have multiple Personality, or self-directed and self-acted, obviously the former is not reflected... Then there is only one possibility left, you are the owner of this manor, Robert Odinson."

Both Flora and her search engine were stunned.

Robert Odinson smiled suddenly: "You are indeed a genius. And I will keep my promise and let everyone go...Although I don't want to believe that the gift is just these books."

The few people who were taken out before were brought in by his subordinates at this time, and they were all unscathed.

Flora walked down the stairs from the second floor, still immersed in the previous nightmare, she walked up to Rhett, wanting to make sure that he was really not injured.

"I'm fine." Rhett wanted to hug her a little bit, but lacked the courage.

"I don't understand...why, he didn't find more professional help, but used this method of coercion? Also, what are those passwords, why are they books?" She was a little breathless when she spoke, but she had too much Too many questions.

"Although he has no killing intent, he is still greedy, suspicious, and unwilling to trust others. Most of the people who come here to eat are knowledgeable people with academic backgrounds and professional qualities, so he chose to do this, but obviously he chose the wrong one. Those are Morse codes, invented by the American Alfred Weir, and used many times in the "Sherlock Holmes" series of novels... Speaking of the final answer, don't you think that these out-of-print rare books, Is almost every book a priceless treasure? It’s a pity that the owner didn’t realize their value.” After saying this, Reed slowed down and continued to ask cautiously: “Lopez, are you... all right?”

"I'm fine, it's better than anything else to see you alive." She pulled out a smile.This "encyclopedic dictionary" is alive and better than anything else.

"Did you know before you were taken away? Why didn't you pierce it then?" Flora was very puzzled when she realized this.

"Because all I have is the profile I got from my observations, I'm not sure if he will really kill someone." Rhett was a little afraid to look directly at Flora, he knew very well that he was taking a risk, "I'm being killed After taking it out, I realized that even if he really solved the mystery, he probably wouldn't do it."

"So, Dr. Spencer Read, you didn't know you would be fine before?" Flora said aggressively.

Rhett hung his head, shaking his head.

God, Flora almost thought that this doctor was determined to return alive, even if there was danger, he could solve it with his own skills.

By the way, she remembered that he once told herself that his physical performance was almost completely unqualified, and he was admitted by exception.It turned out that she was naive =. =

Rhett was a little uneasy, he expected that Flora would be angry.He pictured in his mind the time when she had yelled 'I'll replace him' to the would-be murderer, and he had thought selfishly that even if she did, it wouldn't be too sad.

He pondered how to explain his recklessness.But Flora opened his mouth first. She didn't have the expected anger, but said in a low voice, "Don't do this kind of thing in the future, okay? If something really happens to you, I'm afraid it will I'll never forgive myself in my life, Spencer."

She had seen her dearest person die in front of her own eyes, and she didn't want to have a second time.

"What did you call me just now?" When he heard her calling himself Spencer, he looked at her very sensitively with hot eyes, and the sweet joy melted in Rhett's heart.

"Good friend Dr. Reid, please cherish your own life in the future. By the way, what did you call me before you were taken away?" Flora met her eyes with the corners of her lips curled up, waiting for his next words , but only stared at him, dodging his eyes and swallowing the words that came to his mouth with some difficulty.

With an IQ of 187, a genius with three doctorate degrees and two master's degrees and an electronic instrument killer, do you dare to say it!

Flora roared inwardly.

*******

"I'm very sorry." Odinson seemed to be finally planning to close the curtain on this farce, he sighed, and bowed to all the customers, "I never meant to harm everyone, I just want you Do me this favor. As compensation, all of you will be free of bills tonight and make compensation, if you can’t accept it, you can sue me through the court and file a claim for mental damage.”

Flora seemed to be able to understand it. It turned out that bad tastes like running a zoo in a restaurant were inherited, but this generation of Odinson showed it in other ways.However, this has far exceeded the influence of bad taste.

The waiver and mental damage fee were really tempting. She was moved and called the police.
