Terror broadcast

"This is really interesting." Su Bai also didn't expect that the reason why he was eliminated as a suspect by Diana was because of this. But soon, Su Bai said again:

"This doesn't make sense. If according to what you said, the deceased Simon died in the afternoon, but the old housekeeper called everyone to come for dinner. The nine of us sit in basically the same position every day. If there is no A person, everyone should have discovered it by then.”

Diana smiled slightly and said: "I know you have put yourself into the perspective of ordinary people, but some things are still beyond the scope of ordinary people, such as the dinner at the dinner table, one person plays the role of two people , not surprising at all.”

"A blind trick?

"Blindness? Is that what you Chinese call it? I prefer to call it blurred vision." Diana reached out and rubbed her notebook gently, "Actually, it's not difficult to prove this. We just need to simulate the dinner scene. Just do it once. This method should be easy to identify the direct suspect, but if you only identify the suspect, you will not be able to obtain enough convincing evidence for everyone.

At least, in the eyes of others, even if I now take the initiative to assume the leadership task of this investigation, I still cannot gain the trust of others. Everyone is not that simple. I estimate that many people will think that I am just deliberately being high-profile and sincere. to clear their suspicions. "

"You are thinking too much. Don't forget, we now have two votes. What you have to do now is just to win over two more people, or three people, that is enough."

"You are perfunctory with me. You Chinese people sometimes seem very hypocritical. I can guarantee that even now, even if I give you so much trust and warmth, even if I turn you into the first suspect I took the initiative to take off my identity and take it upon myself, but you still don’t fully believe me.

Besides, comforting people is not like this. Among the 8 people, one is the murderer, and the murderer cannot vote for himself. The other is me, and I will not kill myself. Then there are 6 people left, and you and I are not sure either. So I have to make sure to win four more people, which is twice as difficult as the two people you just mentioned. "

Su Bai did not dwell on the issue of "trust" for too long, but changed the subject and said, "The question now is when did this note appear."

"After dinner." Diana said with certainty, "I can confirm that when I left the room and went downstairs to have dinner, this note did not appear in the room."

"Does that mean that the murderer took the initiative to kill without giving any motive in the broadcast?"

"Actually, even if the absolute motive is not given, it does not affect the killing, because everyone knows what the broadcast wants to see in the villa trapped by the storm, just like many listeners in the real world do not receive the broadcast In real-life tasks, you also know what you should do to gain favor from the broadcasters. This is also applicable in the story world.

However, this murderer is obviously much more decisive than us. He has the confidence to take the lead without seeing absolute benefits. He may even have been preparing from the first day he entered here. "

"Can the alibi of those in the gym be confirmed?" Su Bai asked.

"No, because there are many cubicles in the gym, and there are showers and rest areas. It's not just a few people practicing there face to face for an afternoon. Under the premise that I exclude you and me, there are 6 people, all with Opportunity to kill.”

"After going around for a long time, your investigation seems to have yielded absolutely nothing?"

"Well, for the time being, that's the case." Diana admitted, but she didn't seem to be panicked at all, "Actually, I just said that some investigations don't need to be so detailed at all. We should just reenact the situation at the dinner now. I can guess who the suspect is, but I don’t have enough evidence.”

"Are you worried about alerting others?"

"No, I'm just worried about the murderer's mentality. We have all killed many people. There is no doubt about it. But if the murderer's mentality is terrible, if he really calms down and treats himself as an ordinary person, A murderer, so what I prepare now will make it difficult to obtain the evidence I want."

As she spoke, Diana shook a black bottle in her hand, which seemed to contain some powder.

"What's this?"

"Tie Fan, this villa has its own storage room. One storage room is dedicated to storing some common medicines and emergency medicines. I discovered this place on the first day I came here."

"Yes." Su Bai nodded. He had naturally checked here.

"But the owner of Zhao's Villa also seems to be a person who believes in traditional Chinese medicine. The small pharmacy contains not only Western medicine but also a lot of traditional Chinese medicine. Iron powder is actually stored as part of traditional Chinese medicine. "Ingenious Prescription": Iron Powder It not only transforms saliva and calms the mind, but also specifically suppresses liver evil. If there is excessive anger and excessive liver evil, iron powder can subdue it."

It seemed that after seeing Hills' set of Eastern swordsmanship and Tai Chi-like exercises, Su Bai was somewhat immune to the fact that these foreigners were more knowledgeable about ancient Chinese culture than the Chinese himself. He did not bother Dai. Anna was actually able to recite such an obscure ancient medical book, but she said directly: "Tiefen, are you here to find fingerprints?"

"Yes, fingerprints," Diana confirmed.

This is a powder visualization method. By selecting metal or non-metallic powder that has a large color contrast with the surface of the object, and taking advantage of the low adhesion of fingerprints, colorless fingerprints are turned into layered colored fingerprints. The method of operation is to dip a soft-bristled brush into a little powder, gently flick the brush handle to spread the powder evenly on the fingerprints, and then shake off or gently brush off the excess powder with the tip of the brush. The colorless fingerprints can be turned into colored fingerprints.

"Piano." Su Bai said these two words decisively, "Since it was the murderer who placed Simon's body in the piano, then when he lifted the piano frame, his fingers should have touched that location. If there is an accident, there should be my fingerprints and the murderer’s fingerprints.”

Because when Su Bai found the body, he also opened the piano stand.

Diana shook her head, "Under the conditions here, extracting fingerprints is the best that can be done now. DNA testing like PCR machines is obviously unrealistic, but since the murderer killed before the announcement was broadcast, Moreover, in order to confuse the audience and blur the time of the deceased's death, a blindfold was used at the dinner, which made the subsequent investigation more difficult. So, I don't think the murderer would not take precautions when killing people.

For example, put on gloves, or do the finishing work yourself. If the murderer really does this, then he will be much better than you in putting himself into the mentality of ordinary people. "Diana shook her head.

Su Bai sat down on a chair in the gym and asked, "Can you determine Simon's death time?"

"I am a great undead magician." Diana looked at Su Bai and actually revealed her identity directly, "My research and understanding of corpses, even if I am an ordinary person now, is still not what you can compare with. Yes, I can even be more certain about the time of death, for example, around mid-afternoon.”

"At that time, what is certain is that there was no announcement on the radio and the murderer took it upon himself to kill in advance. But according to what you said, the murderer probably identified the target on the first day and had been planning to kill him at three o'clock this afternoon. He succeeded in killing Simon when the clock was ticking, so why did he use a blind eye again at dinner?"

"This is something I still can't figure out," Diana said. "Currently, it is speculated that it was to confuse the public and cover up her absence at the time."

Su Bai reached out and touched his chin. At this moment, his thoughts and feelings seemed to slowly return to the time when he established the killing club. How did he feel every time he killed before and after killing?

Diana's eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, she seemed to feel that Su Bai sitting in front of her was an out-and-out murderer. That kind of temperament and feeling was that of ordinary people, and that of a murderer among ordinary people. .

It seems that

Everyone has a story.

"No, the murderer did not want to confuse the public or create any alibi." Su Bai said with a smile on his lips, "Because even if you investigate based on the time of death of the deceased that you have determined, who has a strong enough alibi?" Proof? Except for you and me who are trusted by you, you just said that the alibi of the six people cannot withstand scrutiny and confirmation. If that is the case, why would the murderer have such a dinner? "

"So, what's your conclusion?"

"Haha." Su Bai smiled, and then said in a very gloomy tone, "These stupid people, they know in their hearts that this story world is about killing people, but they are all waiting for them. Broadcast notification.

Although I have already guessed the rules of this story world, I still dare not take this step.

People, I killed them, but you didn’t notice. Since you are so stupid, then I will play with you again..."

Diana stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She was a little surprised, because Su Bai was now simulating the murderer's mentality for psychological profiling.

"So, in your opinion, what the murderer did at dinner..."

"It's a stroke of self-reward." Su Bai paused and continued, "But it's superfluous."

"It seems that you have found the answer." Diana took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, took out two cigarettes, bit them between her red lips and lit them together, then handed one of the cigarettes to Su Bai,

Su Bai took the cigarette and took a puff.

"I can even guess who the murderer is. He feels so good about himself and is so showy. How come he looks so familiar..."
