The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Where is the safe place?

Listening to Tang Ci's words, Liu Qiao frowned tightly, and she said in a low voice: "Professor Xiao has no grievances or enmity with others, and he was framed inexplicably, it must be the hunter who did it, maybe the hunter will also do it." Keep an eye on us. Mr. Tang, where should we go?"

She dare not go back to school.

Liu Qiao, who was hiding aside, happened to witness the scene of Xiao Lou being taken into the police car today, and because of this, she sensed something was wrong and immediately ran away.At this time, the school must have ambushed a lot of plainclothes criminal police. When she returned to school, she would be in a trap.

But Liu Qiao was not familiar with Jiangzhou, and besides the school, she didn't know where else was safer.

Tang Ci drove the car out of the underground parking lot and said, "Go to my laboratory. Our company's monitoring system is very complete. At this time, there is no one in the laboratory, and there are cameras everywhere in the corridor. Once an outsider approaches me can be found immediately."

Liu Qiao didn't know what Tang Ci was researching, but only knew that it was related to intelligent robots.Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the laboratory."

Tang Ci's car drove all the way into the company's underground garage, and took Liu Qiao to the laboratory in a special elevator.

Before entering the elevator, Liu Qiao took advantage of his inattention and left a Little Red Riding Hood in the corner of the basement.

This fairy tale card allows her to switch positions with Little Red Riding Hood at any time. Although Tang Ci in front of her looks trustworthy, what if he is a hunter pretending to be him?Liu Qiao had to leave a way out for himself, so that he could escape in time if an accident happened.

After the elevator stopped, Tang Ci led Liu Qiao through the long corridor, to the metal door at the end, and scanned the pupils.

The metal door opened slowly, and Liu Qiao followed him into the house curiously.

There are many silver-white precision machines in the closed laboratory, and there is also a finished intelligent robot. After seeing Tang Ci, the robot moved over from the ground and said crisply: "Welcome home, master."

That robot is clumsy and cute. Liu Qiao took a look at it and found that its eyes were shining blue.

Tang Ci reached out and touched its head lightly, saying, "Shut down."

The robot's eyes dimmed instantly.

Liu Qiao found it very novel: "Mr. Tang, did you develop this robot?"

"Well, my major is intelligent AI." Tang Ci walked to the desk and said, "In the future, artificial intelligence will become more and more popular, and I am responsible for the research and development of intelligent robots in the company. It’s just a first-generation product, and it’s not perfect yet.”

No wonder Tang Ci was able to invade the information database in the card world, obtain so much information, and even use the data card to make mechanical cards by himself, Liu Qiao had to accept it.With Mr. Tang here, there is really no need to worry about checking information.She relaxed a lot, looked at Tang Ci and said, "What's going on with the number that Professor Xiao said?"

Tang Ci turned on the laptop and said, "Sit down first, I'll check it out. According to Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou once changed his mobile phone number. I guess, the hunter probably used his mobile phone number. Put the blame on him, and forge the phone calls or chat records between him and the deceased as evidence."

Liu Qiao felt that it made sense, so he sat quietly and waited.

Tang Ci's slender hands tapped the keyboard quickly, and many webpages popped up on the screen, as well as a lot of garbled characters. Liu Qiao couldn't understand, and he didn't make any noise to disturb the other party.

About 5 minutes passed before Tang Ci said, "We found it."

Liu Qiao immediately came over to take a look.

Tang Ci pointed to the two numbers on the screen and said: "The phone number 1362589 was purchased by Xiaolou using his identity verification name when he was in school, but he changed the number when he started working; the number starting with 159 is It is what he is using now. But the strange thing is that the number 136 has not been canceled and there is no record of arrears."

Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "That is to say, someone stole this number, kept charging this number, and pretended to be Professor Xiao, using this number to keep in touch with people?"

Tang Ci nodded and said: "Xiao Lou is not someone who throws things carelessly. I think someone stole this number deliberately while he was not paying attention. Then, the biggest suspects are the people around him who are very familiar with him. He paused, then looked back at Liu Qiao: "If you bought a new number and lost the old number card, would you bother to find it?"

Liu Qiao shook his head: "Of course not. I've already changed my account number, why are you still looking for the old account?"

Tang Ci said: "That's the reason. The business hall will automatically cancel the number after the number is in arrears. Xiao Lou may have thought so at the time. The remaining call charges in the old number are not much. Anyway, it will be canceled after it is used up. Ignore it. Unexpectedly, someone stole this phone number and continued to recharge and use this number.”

Liu Qiao was thoughtful: "It seems that the hunter has planned for a long time?"

"The basic background of the world we live in is the same as that of Jiangzhou a year ago, and the hunters will not appear out of thin air, but instead replace the identities of some people in this world, and then use these identities to make some articles to achieve The purpose of killing us. This is the case in the previous secret rooms, and the Double King's secret room should not change this basic law."

"That is to say, the hunter entered this world earlier than us?" Liu Qiao analyzed along this line of thinking, "He replaced the identity of someone next to Professor Xiao, stole Professor Xiao's phone card, and After we officially came here, we created a murder case and framed it on us."

"It would be more reasonable to explain it this way." Having said that, Tang Ci continued typing on the keyboard. He looked at the information that popped up on the page, frowned slightly, and said, "The signal of the number 136 has disappeared, so I can't lock it. location of the number."

Liu Qiao stroked his chin: "This man is very smart. After the planting was completed, he destroyed the phone number, so that there can be no evidence against him, and it will be difficult for Professor Xiao to clear up his grievances." She paused, and then asked: "But , During the year when he used the 136 number, as long as he used his WeChat, Alipay or bank card to recharge, he could always leave some clues, right?"

"This is also his brilliance. He has never recharged online. He always takes cash to the business hall to recharge. There is no bank card or WeChat recharge record." Tang Ci said helplessly, " The mobile phone number clues that Professor Xiao left us cannot find the suspect. Think about it again, was there anything suspicious at the time of the crime?"

"Hmm..." Liu Qiao thought about the experience of that night carefully, and suddenly said, "The time is not right."

"How to say?"

"At 7:7 last night, Professor Xiao and I went to the Conservatory of Music. The finals officially started at 30:8, and Ye Qi sang a song on stage until 50:[-]. Take a group photo..."

Liu Qiao took out the photo sent to her by Xiao Lou in her mobile phone, looked at the time, and said, "After taking a photo at 8:55, Professor Xiao and I walked out of the gymnasium, and then I heard screams coming from a distance, followed by Saw the dead body in the lake."

While listening, Tang Ci recorded on the computer the key moments that Liu Qiao said.

Hearing this, he couldn't help being puzzled: "The time card is very clever. Whether you are watching the game in the stadium or looking for Ye Qi in the backstage before 8:55, you can find someone to prove that you are not at the scene of the crime. However, leave at 8:55 Backstage, until seeing the corpse, about ten minutes, you and Xiao Lou can only prove to each other where the other is, and no third person can witness your position."

Liu Qiao nodded: "That's right, Ning Xue also died during this time."

The more they thought about it, the colder they felt.

Who is it that keeps track of their movements?

Liu Qiao recalled it carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, that Xu Mingyue, she was the first person to find Ning Xue's body. At that time, Ning Xue should have just been thrown into the lake. She passed by the lake by chance. Could it be too coincidental? If she had been hiding in the dark, watching me and Professor Xiao go to the backstage to find Ye Qi, then calculated the time and pushed Ning Xue into the lake. After we came out, she deliberately screamed and caused Our attention... makes sense."

Tang Ci asked: "What is the relationship between this person and the deceased?"

Liu Qiaodao: "It's the deceased's roommate. And, that night, she also called the deceased once. Maybe she was the one who asked Ningxue to meet by the lake?"

Tang Ci was not in a hurry to draw conclusions. He thought for a while and said, "We have to meet Xiao Lou again. At present, the information we have obtained from him is too little, which is not conducive to us finding out the truth."

Liu Qiao thought so too.However, when she pretended to be police officer Xiao Wu to deliver meals to Xiao Lou at noon, she had already aroused Yu Hanjiang's suspicion, so she couldn't pretend to be Xiao Wu anymore.

Fortunately, Tang Ci quickly came up with an idea: "Isn't Xiao Lou detained by the police? I can arrange a lawyer for him. The lawyer will talk to his client, and Yu Hanjiang has no right to refuse."

Liu Qiao's eyes lit up: "Good idea! Mr. Tang, are you acting as a lawyer yourself?"

Tang Ci said: "Well, let me borrow your twin card, I will go to Xiao Lou this afternoon."

***

That afternoon, Tang Ci disguised himself as a lawyer with his twin card, and came to the police force with a briefcase on his face calmly, asking to see Xiao Lou by name: "Hello, Captain Yu, I am Xiao Lou's lawyer, and I have something to say to you." Talk to my client."

Yu Hanjiang's face darkened slightly: "I don't remember what lawyer Xiao Lou hired."

Tang Ci said: "I'm Professor Xiao's friend, Mr. Tang Ci, the defense lawyer hired for him. Mr. Tang has already paid the fee, so I have the responsibility to give my client the legal due if he doesn't understand the law. legal aid."

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

In the morning, Xiao Lou asked him to find Tang Ci for questioning, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Ci helped Xiao Lou find another lawyer?Yu Hanjiang's displeasure was clearly written on his face, and he almost said the words "You guys are playing me together".

However, it is in accordance with the law that the lawyer wants to see the client, and Yu Hanjiang cannot stop it.

With a sullen face, he let Xiao Lou come to the summons room, invited the lawyer in, and turned around to close the door.

According to regulations, the police could not monitor the conversation between the lawyer and the client, so Yu Hanjiang had to wait in the corridor frowning.

Inside the room, Xiao Lou's hands were handcuffed by cold handcuffs. Tang Ci sat opposite him across the wide table, pretending to be serious and took out a stack of documents, and whispered: "Professor Xiao, hello, I am Mr. Tang please Here comes the lawyer."

Xiao Lou met his eyes and understood.

Of course, Tang Ci would not be idle and free to hire an unreliable "lawyer" to help investigate the case. This was obviously Tang Ci's pretending. The two knew it well, but they didn't tell the truth.

Tang Ci asked openly: "As your lawyer, I will definitely help you clear your grievances. If you have any questions about this case, or want to say something, you can tell me the truth."

Acted quite like it.

Xiao Lou slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said, "The number that called Ning Xue at the critical moment was not used by me; last night, Liu Qiao and I were indeed outside and did not go home, so we couldn't provide an alibi , but the people who dissected Zhang Hengyu in the laboratory building are definitely not us. My hair and Liu Qiao’s hair appeared at the dissection scene at the same time, so someone must have taken it and put it there on purpose.”

Tang Ci took notes quickly.

Having said that, Xiao Lou paused, and whispered thoughtfully: "Who would be the one who can get my hair and Liu Qiao's hair at the same time?"

Tang Ci looked up at him: "Does Professor Xiao have any doubts?"

Xiao Lou suddenly said: "Zhang Hengyu."

Tang Ci was startled: "The dissected Zhang Hengyu?"

Xiao Loudao: "Liu Qiao came to my class that afternoon and sat next to Zhang Hengyu. He could easily get Liu Qiao's hair. He is the monitor of our forensic department. He asked me questions during recess. It was also easy to get a sample of my hair."

Xiao Lou seemed to be enlightened, and said firmly: "The person who got my hair and Liu Qiao's hair is most likely Zhang Hengyu."
