Reincarnation Dreamland [Unlimited]

Tang Ji did not have the performance requirements of the guests in Group B, and planned to announce the murderer and the process of committing the crime on the spot.

However, before he could speak, the guests and all the staff of the program group were "invited" back to the inn by the director and the director's assistant.

Director: "Since Group A is going to solve the puzzle, let's go back together."

Tang Ji asked: "There is no need to move around, I can directly say here that the murderer is at the scene."

"No," the director stretched out his hand to reject Tang Ji's proposal, "Every time you solve a puzzle, you need to start from the inn. This is the established process of our program."

Think about it, everyone, it seems that the two puzzle-solving of group B started from the inn. Even though the second time came from the inn to the shop next to the main road, the guests of group B led the way out after the inn and other people were all there. Walk.

Tang Ji and Simon nodded, and took everyone back to the inn.

The group of people came and went in a hurry, and after a few minutes, they all arrived at the lobby of the inn.

This time the camera all turned to the members of Group A, with Tang Ji and Simon leading the way, while the other two female guests followed behind the team with a confused look on their faces.

Everyone stood still at the inn, leaving Tang Ji the center of the main hall, and the rest dispersed.

The director waved his hand: "Okay, you can start."

Tang Ji nodded, and pointed directly at the four NPCs standing by the counter at the gate: "The murderer is the shopkeeper."

As soon as this remark came out, the guests in group B were stunned, showing unwillingness and suspicion, and they began to discuss in whispers.

The camera turned around twice on Tang Ji, and then turned to the shopkeeper's face.

The shopkeeper has a calm expression on his face.

The director asked: "Please give the reasoning process."

"First of all, the motive for killing is love killing."

Love killing is already an established fact in everyone's mind. Whether it is the waiter, the chef, especially the accountant, their background stories are all because of their secret love for Yizhihua, and the death of Yizhihua has brought them a certain amount of harm, so they all exist. There are varying degrees of weirdness.

Regarding this point, the shopkeeper did not deny it, but listened carefully to Tang Ji's inference.

"The shopkeeper doesn't have an alibi." Tang Ji pointed out again.

According to the information a few days ago, the chef was guarding the door that night, the waiter fell asleep, and the accountant went to the next village. The three of them all had alibi, and the background story of the shopkeeper has not been released by the program group, so at least for now , No one knows the shopkeeper's past.

The shopkeeper took a step forward and stood directly in front of the counter, about a meter away from the gate, and said without blushing, "But you have no evidence to prove that I was there that day."

This is true. At present, there is no way to prove that the shopkeeper is there, nor can he prove that the shopkeeper is not there.

Tang Ji nodded, obviously it was expected that the shopkeeper would retort.

"The way to kill is to suffocate. Yizhihua was violated that night and was strangled to death during the struggle." Tang Ji pointed to his neck, "There are obvious bruises on Yizhihua's neck, the width of the bruise and At first glance, the imprint is like a thick thumb and index finger pinching the neck of a flower in a circle shape."

As soon as Tang Ji finished speaking, everyone unconsciously looked at the shopkeeper's palm.

The shopkeeper's palm was thick and thick, with big and wide knuckles, which fit Tang Ji's description.However, the caring person also looked at the other three NPCs at the same time. Their hands were very slender except for Xiao Er's short and fat hands.

The shopkeeper didn't hide his hands, and spread them out in front of everyone: "Do you want to take a look?" After that, he added, "The chef and the shopkeeper have similar hands to mine, how can you be sure that I must have done it?" ?”

I have to say that the shopkeeper's expression is much more in place than the other three.With his calm expression, free and easy movements, and confident tone of voice, if anyone dares to confront him, he may be defeated psychologically before the final puzzle-solving link.

Both the guests and the photography teacher next to him were amazed by the shopkeeper's performance.

However, he met Tang Ji.

Tang Ji was equally calm, with a firm tone, unaffected by the shopkeeper's performance.

"Yizhihua's body has been washed away by the heavy rain, and the bruises on the neck have long since disappeared, so it is impossible to do trace identification." Tang Ji stated this fact.

In fact, the program group is relatively rough in dealing with the obvious scars on the neck of a flower. The purpose of doing this is just to do a method of elimination for the guests, such as observing the NPCs according to the traces of bruises. Hand shape, to rule out the suspicion of an NPC, does not have the function of comparing traces on the spot.

The shopkeeper obviously knew this and smiled calmly.

"The motive, method, time and place of the murder are basically all explained." Tang Ji stated, "All doubts point to the fact that the murderer is the shopkeeper."

After Tang Ji said this, he looked around and stared sharply at the two female guests in the same group with different expressions.

Solving crimes is not his primary goal, dream interpretation is.He still has a little information that he hasn't released right away.

The director said: "Do you have anything to add? If not, then we will announce whether the puzzle has been solved successfully." The director kindly reminded Tang Ji.

"Yes." Tang Ji nodded.

"I have always believed that the program team actually provided us with a lot of clues." Tang Ji looked at the director and laughed, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, I think this point needs to be improved. Otherwise, the case will be solved if you think in reverse. gone."

The director was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

The leading guest of Group B suddenly pointed at Tang Ji and asked, "What do you mean?!"

"Literally, in real cases, not all the perceived related information can point to the murderer, but in this program, all the information is filtered and delivered with purpose."

"Aren't there still false clues?! What's the use of getting false clues?" Another male guest in Group B retorted.

Tang Ji shook his head, this person did not understand what he wanted to express.

The role of false clues is to lead everyone in the wrong direction, so regardless of the content, false clues also have a purpose.

Think about the meaning of the event only from the purpose, then all the information obtained is not useless information.

"For example, that day, the chef and the shopkeeper were fighting on the first floor." Tang Ji reminded everyone.

As soon as the words fell, a crack appeared in the shopkeeper's calm expression.

He raised his head in a panic and looked at Tang Ji.

"That's right, they fought, didn't they lead to the chef's story?" The group B guests recalled that after the fight, the shopkeeper explained to everyone that the chef had irritability symptoms, and then told everyone the background story of the chef for the first time.

Tang Ji nodded: "However, since the chef's background story can be explained clearly through fighting, why does the chef grab the shopkeeper's clothes? After the shopkeeper's clothes are rotten, why doesn't he change into a clean new one in the back kitchen, and then come out to us? explain?"

With Tang Ji's reminder, everyone recalled that scene. At that time, they only felt that it was normal for everyone to tear their clothes, but they didn't dig deeper into the intention.

The guests in group B shook their heads, apparently disapproving of Tang Ji's in-depth guessing of clues: "Maybe he doesn't care if the props and clothes are rotten, or maybe he is in a hurry to tell everyone the clues. Who can tell clearly?"

"At that time, if I hadn't seen the scar on the shopkeeper's back, I thought so too." Tang Ji smiled and looked at the shopkeeper with deeper eyes.

The shopkeeper swallowed unconsciously, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

"Scar? What scar?!"

"Is there a scar? I didn't see it!"

"What can scars explain? Trace comparison and identification? This kind of place can't be done!"

Tang Ji ignored the chattering doubts and discussions of the guests in group B, but looked at the two female guests in the same group again.

Lu Lei still acted as if she had nothing to do with herself, but the shape of the doll was very strange.

Excitement and tension were hidden on her face, her fingers were slightly bent and she grabbed the corner of her clothes, her eyes unconsciously glanced at the shopkeeper.

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, and this weird smile made Tang Ji feel a little uncomfortable.

Simon touched everyone's hands and signaled him to continue with his eyes.

Tang Ji pulled his attention back and said to the shopkeeper, "Can you take off your clothes so that everyone can see your back?"

The shopkeeper paused: "Yes."

Obviously, it is not an unreasonable request to take off your clothes. If you refuse at this moment, it will be a bit of a cover-up.

However, the slightly hesitant movements and expressions of the shopkeeper have already betrayed him.

He took off his shirt slowly, and there was a strange-looking scar on the middle of his back ribs.

Everyone gathered around to watch, the scar was scratched by a finger.But there are some differences from the usual scratches.

There are four scratches up and down. The distance between the top two and the bottom two is basically the same. It looks like the width of an ordinary finger.However, the distance between the upper and lower scratch marks is relatively large, as if someone divided it twice, using two fingers each time to scratch the marks along the back in turn.

"What's wrong with this scar?" The shopkeeper asked, "Do you want to say that it was caught by a flower?"

"Yes, she was the one who caught it." Tang Ji admitted.

The shopkeeper forced himself to be calm, and sneered: "Oh, then what evidence do you have to prove that she did it?"

"Because of this." Tang Ji took out something from his pocket.

When they saw what it was, everyone gasped.

Other guests and assistants: "..."

Other photography teachers and staff who don't know the truth: "..."

The shopkeeper began to tremble all over, and in a panic, he wanted to reach out to snatch the things in Tang Ji's hands, but Tang Ji dodged away.

Tang Ji raised his eyebrows: "How, is this enough evidence?"

What Tang Ji held in his hand was Yizhihua's "prosthetic limb"—the middle finger that didn't exist at all.

Seeing this, everyone reacted.

A peanut came with a missing middle finger, but her right hand actually had four fingers.And the strange scratches on the shopkeeper's body, aren't they just scratches due to the missing middle finger? !

Everyone suddenly realized, but at the same time admired that Tang Ji was able to find this "prosthetic limb" that had been installed and could not be seen from Yizhihua's corpse.

Tang Ji asked again: "What else do you have to argue about?"

The shopkeeper no longer had the arrogance and righteousness just now, and he was dejected and sighed repeatedly.

Now it's time for the final link - the murderer admits his mistake.

"It's me, but I hope it's not me! I love her very much! I like her!" The shopkeeper covered his face with his hands and began to cry bitterly. He knelt down on his knees, showing a broken and repentant expression.

"I killed her by mistake! I just wanted to tell her that I love her very much, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect..." The shopkeeper cried and beat the brick floor in front of the counter with both hands, smashing the ground. bang.

At this point, the case-solving script is all finished.

The director led all the staff to applaud Tang Ji, and he was completely correct in solving the puzzle.

"Awesome!" The director praised Tang Ji while shaking Tang Ji's hand.

At the end of the show, the photography teacher put down the camera, and the guest assistant stepped forward to arrange clothes, remove makeup, etc. Guests from Group B congratulate Group A.

At this moment, an unknown person said: "Hey, get up! It's over! Why are you still kneeling here?"

Everyone noticed that the shopkeeper was still in a penitent posture, kneeling on the ground, with his head bowed, the sunlight came in from outside the door, and his expression was hidden in the shadows.

Suddenly, seeing that the shopkeeper was not moving, the staff patted him on the shoulder.

The shopkeeper was slightly pushed, and the whole person fell sideways on the ground.

With a "bang--", his body slammed into the floor tiles abruptly, and he remained motionless for a while.

Everyone looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's eyes were wide open, with panic and confusion in his eyes. A trace of blood slid from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't have even the slightest bit of anger.

"Ahhhh-!!!"

The staff screamed in horror.
