It's time, it's time to switch to the cranial doctor

Xiao Jiu seemed a little disappointed. He didn't know what happened to the child so that he could place his hope on a perverted doctor in blood. This also made Zhou Zhuo even more curious about the 23 buildings at night.

"Tell me how your neighbors affect your rest."

Now that Zhou Zhuo has mastered the basic information of most of the residents in this building, if he listens to Xiao Jiu's words, he can understand even more.

And the most important thing is that no one can guarantee that the client must be telling the truth. Previously, Zhou Zhuocai investigated everywhere with a skeptical attitude, and the forensic doctor only believed in the evidence. Now that he saw the child's face in private, he became more certain.

Xiao Jiu gestured with his fingers: "Upstairs, downstairs, and next door are all very noisy."

"It's loud in all directions? Can you tell where those voices are coming from?"

"There is a child crying downstairs, someone upstairs is walking around at night, and someone next door is pulling a saw." Xiao Jiu gave important information clearly, not like a child calmly.

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhou Zhuo asked.

In fact, everyone knows this question after thinking about it, who can watch the live broadcast of his dungeon, and even want to send an email to the perverted anchor after watching it.

"Not afraid." Xiao Jiu shook his head with a calm expression, "But grandma is very scared. She is angry and scared. I don't want her to be like that. Can you help me? Just ask those neighbors to be quiet."

"Yes." Zhou Zhuo agreed, "But before that, I want to know one thing, what reward can you give me?"

He believes that he will not hear childish rewards such as giving you five dollars or a bag of candy from Xiaojiu.

[I will find a way to repay you. 】

"What do you want?" Xiao Jiu said in an adult tone, "As long as I have it, I can give it to you."

Chapter 32

This answer was very clever, and he threw the question back, but if he changed to someone who was shameless, he might ask someone for a Spring Festival set, but Zhou Zhuo really couldn't think of what he could ask for from a precocious child, so he was embarrassed for a while.

"Then let's talk about it later. I have already done an investigation on the specific situation. Apart from the voice, can you give some important information?"

"I don't know..." Xiao Jiu's face turned a little pale, and only then did he look like a normal child.

Seeing that the other party lacked in expressive ability, Zhou Zhuo took the initiative to guide him.

"For example, the time, frequency, loudness of the sound, and how long it lasts. Let's start with the next door—that is, the room we are in now. You said there is a sawing sound here, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Jiu affirmed Zhou Zhuo's statement, "Not long after I fell asleep, the voice from next door rang out."

Zhou Zhuo naturally entered into his era: "When do you go to bed, seven o'clock or eight o'clock?"

"I fell asleep after watching Perfect Family Theater."

"Oh, that's close to 11 o'clock?" Zhou Zhuo nodded thoughtfully, "Don't you have a tool to check the time in your bedroom?"

"No, grandma was afraid of the sound of ticking, so I removed the battery from the alarm clock."

Seeing Zhou Zhuo staring at the child's mobile phone on his chest, Xiao Jiu explained again: "Grandma forbids me to look at the mobile phone at night, saying it will affect my eyesight."

"Huh?" Ma Lou on the other side could still listen to the excitement, but now he was completely dumbfounded.

Zhou Zhuo took the time to explain the encrypted call to Ma Lou.

"The Meimei Family Theater is the last show on the Golden Eagle Cartoon Channel at night. It is broadcast at 10:10 p.m., and it will be around 11:[-] p.m. after watching it. The sound will start after a while, isn't it [-] o'clock?"

"..."

As an outsider, Ma Lou was completely silent, and simply acted as a mascot, lying outside the window and looking at the corridor.

I feel that Xiao Jiu is not very sensitive to time, so Zhou Zhuo changed his way of saying: "How long will the time of seeing the saw last? Is an episode of Pleasant Goat so long?"

Xiao Jiu stared at Zhou Zhuo with eyes that looked like b, and said after a while: "The TV set-top box in the living room will display the time, and I will go to the bathroom after the sound stops, and it will be almost 12 o'clock."

"Uh, that's about an hour." Zhou Zhuo used a new question to cover up his embarrassment, "When will it be, every day?"

"sometimes."

Xiaojiu's answer is not certain, it is indeed a bit embarrassing for a child to record the frequency of events.

"What about the sound of the floor being smashed upstairs?" Zhou Zhuo pointed to the ceiling.

"The day before the saw."

Xiao Jiu's answer this time is very affirmative, because with the comparison, the key elements of the incident are often hidden in these inconspicuous details.

"Does it happen every time? Does it happen repeatedly?"

"Every time, it never happened again, I remember it very clearly." Xiao Jiu nodded, "The length of time sometimes varies, but it ends before 12 o'clock every time."

Zhou Zhuo's expression froze, realizing that the most important part of the dungeon was coming.

"why?"

"Because after twelve o'clock, there will be children crying."

Xiao Jiu lowered his head, his expression became gloomy, and the light cast a gloom on his immature side face.

"Every 12 o'clock, I heard children crying. They seemed to be about my age. I was very scared. I told my grandma, but my grandma said that I heard it wrong. Let me go to bed early and stop messing around..."

Xiao Jiu's eyes gradually lost their light. For him, grandma is the only relative, and not being recognized by relatives will deeply hurt the child.

"I believe in you." Zhou Zhuo took the initiative to hold Xiao Jiu's hand with a sincere tone.

"why?"

"Because of the information you just told me, if other people can't hear the baby's cry, then why stop everything on time by 12 o'clock? The answer is simple, they are all afraid of that cry, that's what it's all about source."

Xiao Jiu didn't speak, but lowered his head and remained silent.

At this time, Ma Lou was nervous, and kept gesticulating: "Here we come." Then there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Jiu, are you here?"

"Does your grandma not want you to participate in these things?" Zhou Zhuo asked.

"Ah."

"I understand, leave the rest to me. After today, I will make them silent forever."

The urging voice outside became more and more urgent, and Xiao Jiu's expression also changed significantly. He lost his composure and began to panic.

"what should I do?"

Zhou Zhuo didn't answer directly, but asked a particularly strange question: "If grandma gets angry, what will happen?"

Xiao Jiu's body shook, and he shook his head vigorously: "...I don't know, I don't know! Don't ask me!"

"I understand. Your task is to make grandma settle down, at least to ensure that she will not stand in the way when we are doing things. Can you do it?"

Xiao Jiu still shook his head: "I don't know..."

Zhou Zhuo originally wanted to bring Xiao Jiu with him. This kind of NPC usually plays a vital role in the plot, and can be pushed out as a shield no matter how bad it is, but as the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, Zhou Zhuo Surprised to find that his sanity actually started to drop.

"Anyway, just try your best. You just need to keep grandma steady, and leave the rest to us. Go back now."

Zhou Zhuo sped up his speech, gestured for Ma Lou to open the door, and then saw the angry grandmother standing outside the corridor, holding a kitchen knife in her hand.

It seems that as long as the door is opened later, she will really break in, hide the two outsiders in front of her into pieces like cutting pig bones, and then pack them into black garbage bags and throw them away.

The strange thing is that such an impetuous performance reassured Xiao Jiu, who had acted abnormally just now, and made Zhou Zhuo dispel the idea of ​​"could grandma be the prisoner".

Grandma's muddy eyes seemed to be on fire: "Didn't you just say you went downstairs to buy refills? Why did you come here?"

"I'm curious, so I just want to take a look." Xiao Jiu lowered his head and took out a pen refill from his pocket, "I bought the pen refill."

"Buy it and go back."

Grandma didn't intend to chat more with the two strangers, she just glanced briefly at the situation in room 405, took Xiao Jiu's hand and went back, closed the door heavily and locked it.

Zhou Zhuo glanced at the attribute panel, and found that just a few seconds ago, his sanity value dropped by 5, which was almost a speed of a second. It was still hard to imagine what would happen in a real match. what.

After sending them off, Ma Lou patted his chest, looking overly frightened: "Forget it, why not? I'm so scared!"

He was not like this when he was chased by the butcher before, of course, it is also possible that Zhou Zhuo was scarier than the butcher at that time...

Not allowing access to the client, the dungeon has set up a rather troublesome hindrance condition from the very beginning, but Zhou Zhuo has already found clues to connect the events together.

Chapter 33 Neighborhood Conflict Mediator

"Don't call, don't call, I probably know what's going on with this dungeon."

There is no tool to tell the time in the room, but judging from the gloomy sky outside, it should be seven o'clock now, and there are still 12 to 4 hours before 5 o'clock. Zhou Zhuo must solve the problem before the trouble comes. This is where it comes in handy.

"First of all, I want to say one thing. This dungeon is the same as the previous bloody party. It has hidden missions. I have already mastered the method to open the hidden missions. Do you want to do it?"

"do not want!"

Recalling the bouncing appearance of the living corpse, Ma Lou shuddered and shook his head repeatedly, but he was still a little interested in the plot of the game.

"What is the mission?"

"Brother, I knew you would agree to me. It is indeed right to bring you to the duo."

"what?"

Zhou Zhuo ignored the previous sentence, directly assumed that he agreed by default, and began to analyze it eloquently.

"First analyze the plot of the dungeon from the information obtained so far. Through the collection just now, the contradiction has basically been confirmed. That is the noise in the middle of the night. There are three sources of the noise. Let's talk about the sound in our room and upstairs first. What do you have? Did you find any problems?"

After pondering for a long time, Ma Lou said solemnly, "The people here are not very friendly."

"Is that what you need to say?"

Zhou Zhuo almost stumbled into the concrete floor, which forced him to suffer severe consequences for his internship in the future. As the head of the department, it is not very good to give the answer directly, so he can only find a way to guide him.

"The first message, the two voices did not appear repeatedly, what does it mean?"

"Are the two accomplices? Yes! Sparrow Eater is an accomplice!"

"Accomplice, you are big, our room seems to be able to live in? Now that one wrong answer has been ruled out, the thinking is much clearer. The reason why the two voices did not appear at the same time is because these voices are from the same person. He put a piece of work in the two adjacent rooms one by one, why?"

This time Zhou Zhuo didn't wait for Ma Lou's answer, and gave an accurate answer directly.

"In order to avoid one's behavior being noticed, it is easy to be suspected if you just do it in one room. What needs to be so hidden? And you have to use the bathroom?"

Ma Lou was stunned for a moment, and his little brain, which was not very bright, finally turned around: "Dismember the corpse?"

"That's right." Zhou Zhuo snapped his fingers, "In major criminal cases, dismembering corpses and flushing them into the sewer is a way for many criminals to cover up criminal evidence, and the starting point for criminal policemen to solve cases is often the extraordinary water consumption. .”

"The corpse of an adult is at least 50 kilograms. Cutting it into pieces that can be washed away through the sewer requires a lot of water. If the prisoner wants to avoid this, the best way is to use the water meter of other residents. this matter."

"For example, if you rent another room in the same building, and take advantage of the night to move the remaining body parts upstairs, the method used is probably..."

Zhou Zhuo led Ma Lou into the bedroom, opened the window, and pointed to the marks where the plaster had been scratched under the crack of the window frame.

"You see, there are a lot of traces of pushing and pulling here. The prisoner didn't notice this detail, but who would open the window frequently in a room where he won't stay overnight? The answer is that he opened the window not for ventilation, but to see from the upstairs. In Room 505, the plastic bags containing the body parts were transported down from above, and the place was transferred."

He moved the bed against the corner and pointed to the hidden socket that Ma Lou had discovered earlier.

"Before I was still wondering, can such a high-power electrical appliance be used to pull a saw in an empty room without furniture? You must know that the power of an ordinary chainsaw is only 1000 watts. The old-fashioned circuit may have relatively poor carrying capacity, but it needs to be loaded. Such appliances are far from adequate.”

"What electrical appliance did he bring into the room and take it away without leaving any trace? My guess is still this."

Zhou Zhuo is still facing the window, meticulously completing his personal reasoning show.

"He will use a high-power power strip to connect to this socket, and use it in the upstairs room through the window, so as to share the water and electricity consumption evenly, so that people can avoid the abnormality of the water and electricity meter from being discovered, and dangerous evidence can also be used when being searched. Throw objects into 405 to avoid."

"In this way, the sound of the saw being pulled can be deciphered. It was made by dismembering the corpse, but there is something strange. What is the sound of stepping on the floor? Is it smashing something with a hammer?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhuo stopped wasting time on meaningless brainstorming, and patted Ma Lou on the shoulder.

"Come with me, Whitebeard, it's time for you to play. Next, we will act as the mediator of the community committee, responsible for mediating the conflicts between neighbors. First, let's visit the friend in 505 and see what he sells in the gourd. medicine."

"However, I want to remind one thing, don't do it casually. Xiaojiu's grandma may symbolize some kind of rules. When she gets angry, everyone's sanity value will drop rapidly. What will happen next is unimaginable. If possible, follow this rule as much as possible." Do you understand the rules of the game?"

"what?"

Before Ma Lou could react, Zhou Zhuo dragged him out of the room.

Because of sanity issues, the master key cannot be used at will, so Zhou Zhuo deliberately left a door for room 405 before going upstairs.

Outside Room 505, Zhou Zhuo squatted down and directed Ma Lou: "He should recognize me, knock on the door, and do as I said just now."

Ma Lou thought for a while, then took out his big slap and slapped the door.

"Open the door, open the door, community inspection. I said you can't open the door, Erlong?"

Both the downstairs and the iron door leading to Unit 1 were locked. The man had nowhere to leave, unless he jumped from the 5th floor. In that case, it didn't matter, anyway, Zhou Zhuo had the master key.

Soon there was movement in the room. It may be that the appearance of Ma Lou looks like he is not awake and lacks viciousness. The people hiding in the room are gradually becoming more courageous. Ask through the door.

"what to check for?"
