"I see, I know what's going on." Faria slapped the round table in front of him and shook it, and the loud noise immediately echoed in the room.

"What... what's wrong? Mr. Faria, did you find anything?" Qiu Shan Richen was startled by Faria, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked cautiously.

A smile appeared on Faria's face, which made Ailio and Qiu Shan Richen stunned for a moment, but in turn, the two of them also showed joy on their faces. They had seen this young man showing this kind of expression more than once. His expression changed, and since he would show such a smile, it proved one thing - he had found the real murderer.

Faria raised her hand sharply, looked at the big screen firmly, pointed her finger at Paracelsus on the big screen, and said with a smile: "Kill Miss Meghan, inject the medicine with superb skills It was you who entered Miss Megan's body, am I right?"

"Ah!?" All of a sudden, everyone was stunned. Elio looked at Faria in astonishment. As the murderer, but at this moment did he deny it himself?Also said that he just started to identify the murderer indiscriminately because he couldn't find the murderer?

"Mr. Caster, could you please move your position to the side a little bit, the person I'm looking for is you." Faria looked behind Paracelsus without changing his posture, and said slowly, "Ah Mr Alexandsen."

Ninth Day in Jail - Moment of Verdict: Corollary

"Alexandersen!?" Immediately, everyone present looked at Paracelsus on the big screen in shock, or rather, the young man standing silently behind him.

Following Faria's shout, Alexanderson came to the big screen calmly, looked at the shocking expressions of everyone in the judgment room through his own screen, and showed an embarrassed smile: "That, Farley Mr. Ya, did you make a mistake? I am just an ordinary apprentice of my mentor."

"Ah, indeed, this identity can indeed be said to be quite suitable and difficult to attract attention." Faria showed a smile, looked at Alexanderson and said, "However, you made a fatal mistake Wrong, Mr. Alexanderson, it would be fine if you were just a simple alchemist, but what made me feel out of place was actually when you and I met for the first time."

Faria raised her hand, pointed to Alexanderson's right thumb and index finger and said, "There are two marks on your finger, I think you should know it yourself."

Alexanderson looked at the imprint on his finger, smiled and said, "Ah, this one, what's the problem? Mr. Faria."

"Of course there is, and it is a huge problem of disobedience. If some people see the imprint on your hand, they may think that the linear imprint on your hand is left by the surgical line because of some experience. So I suspect that you are a doctor who is often in charge of surgery." Looking at Alexanderson, Faria continued, "But, if you look carefully, there is a difference between the marks on your hand and the marks of the surgical thread. "

"What's going on?" Elio looked at Faria and asked. She did notice Alexanderson's thumb at the beginning, but after hearing Faria's words, she felt a little puzzled. He looked at this young man who seemed to have a plan in mind.

"The answer is very simple, because that is not the imprint left by the surgical thread at all, but the operation performed by acupuncture all the year round." Faria said with a smile, "And this is the biggest sense of disobedience, why a Chinese medicine practitioners who are accustomed to using acupuncture will become an alchemist under the hands of Mr. Paracelsus? Whether it is from the perspective of acupuncture or medicine, it is too strange."

Listening to Faria's reasoning, the smile on Alexanderson's face did not change, but he involuntarily rubbed his fingers with acupuncture marks together, and said with a wry smile: "It's just because of this. Do you think I'm a murderer? What if I just want to learn Western medicine?"

Alexanderson smiled, opened his hands to Faria and said, "So Your Excellency Faria is a bit too arbitrary, after all, for Western alchemists, sometimes they are equivalent to doctors, Pa Isn’t Master Lacelsus such a person?”

Paracelsus nodded slightly, looked at Faria through the screen and said: "Indeed, although I am an alchemist, I was indeed a doctor in my lifetime. If you just think Chinese doctors can’t be associated with alchemists, it’s a bit narrow.”

Faria frowned slightly, looking at Paracelsus and Alexanderson, but then he showed an extremely sinister smirk: "Oh? So that's the case, if this is the case, Why don't you learn from Miss Nightingale? Although Mr. Caster is indeed accomplished in alchemy and medieval medicine, if the most skilled person in the entire prison, it must be Miss Nightingale. Bar."

Alexanderson frowned slightly, but Faria continued: "Besides, I think I heard it right. Before I came here, you told me that if If possible, Miss Nightingale is the one you would most like to work with, right?"

Alexanderson's smile froze a bit, and after hearing Faria's words, Paracelsus shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a sigh: "Although I shouldn't have said that. Say, but I'm still here, Mr. Faria, and I feel a little embarrassed to say it so bluntly."

"Sorry, Caster, I didn't mean to compare you with Miss Nightingale, but this is also a necessary part of the process, so please be patient." Faria scratched her head, facing Paracelsu Si smiled, continued to look at Alexanderson and said, "Then let's continue talking about you, Alexanderson."

Faria paused for a moment, and then said: "If my guess is correct, you are actually Chinese, right, I think anyone can see this, then why do you use a What about a foreign name? And it still appeared as a student of Paracelsus during his lifetime."

Alexanderson looked at Faria and said with a smile: "Is there anything strange about this? Personally, I think your name seems strange too, Father Faria in "The Count of Monte Cristo."

"The reason why I use this name, everyone present should know the reason, but we don't know the reason why you use a pseudonym." Faria looked at Alexanderson, without even thinking about it, immediately Retorted, "Well, how about let me make a hypothesis? Unlike me who uses a pseudonym because of amnesia, you use a pseudonym because you have to use it to hide your identity, because your name is very It may expose your identity, so I should be right."

Alexanderson fell silent, just looking at Faria in this way.

"That's why you choose to hide your whereabouts as an alchemist's apprentice, because in this prison, it seems that only the pharmacy can give you the opportunity to hide your existence." Faria continued, "Medical The prison room will often be on duty to clean up the corpses that appear in the prison, and the guards and cleaners, like the doctors, must be at work all the time, so it is inevitable that they will often meet with others. If someone recognizes it, it will cause great harm to your identity. It's not good."

"So, did Mr. Alexanderson choose the pharmacy with a relatively low sense of presence?" Qiu Shan Richen looked at Faria and couldn't help asking, "Because the pharmacy's duty is to serve Miss Nightingale. Provide medical drugs, and at the same time provide Mr. Paracelsus with a room for research."

Faria nodded and said, "That's right. However, what Alexanderson didn't expect was that even though he was hiding it like this, there was still someone who recognized his identity, and that person was Miss Megan."

Highmore looked at Faria and said, "So, the reason why Your Excellency Alexander killed Miss Meghan was to hide his identity? But there is a big doubt—you said that Meghan Miss Gen trusts the murderer very much, which means that the two are at least friends, so what reason does he have to kill Miss Megan?"

Hearing Highmore's question, Faria said, "What if Alexanderson really didn't think about killing Miss Megan at first?"

Ninth Day in Jail - Moment of Verdict: Corollary

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the others, Faria continued: "Then, if Mr. Alexanderson really didn't think about killing Miss Megan at the beginning, but just wanted to use her to escape from this place, Where's the prison?"

The others looked at each other for a while, looked at Faria and said: "After all, the goal of all of us is to leave here, isn't it? Each of us has a reason to leave here, and each of us has a need to live. The meaning of going down, I think everyone is like this."

The people present fell into silence. What Faria said was correct. No matter how lonely a person is, there is an absolute reason to live, and no matter how evil a person is, he may have a weakness in his heart—as long as he is still a normal person. [person] words.

So everyone agreed with Faria's analysis, and then he continued: "If you and Miss Meghan are old acquaintances, then you may know something about this prison, so Only then did you ask Miss Megan about the weak spot of the prison, but Miss Megan refused without any hesitation after knowing your plan, but you finally learned about the new drug developed by Mr. Caster, and finally decided to use this Negotiate with Ms. Meghan for bargaining chips."

"Wait a minute, doesn't Alexanderson know the actual effect of this drug?" Highmore frowned, looking at Faria and said.

Faria looked at Paracelsus who was sitting next to him, and said, "This is just my own assumption, and the details will depend on Mr. Caster's explanation."

Everyone focused their attention on Paracelsus, and this calm-looking man sighed a little embarrassedly, and said, "Your Excellency Faria, I think I told you before that Well, I used to experiment with Alexanderson, so he also learned about the specific idea of ​​the drug at that time."

Faria nodded and said, "That's right, you did tell me, and you also learned from him that the actual effect of the drug is quite different from what you imagined, right?"

Paracelsus lowered his head slightly, put his hands under his nose, frowned and thought for a while, and continued: "Unfortunately, your guess is right, Your Excellency Faria, Alexanderson himself After injecting it and falling into a coma, I didn't know the fact that the drug was very different from the original idea, because after he woke up, I had already left him and continued to improve my drug."

After hearing what Paracelsus said, Alexanderson, who was standing beside him, closed his eyes slightly, but then he looked at Faria and asked, "Then, what is your speculation? Mr. Faria, please let me continue to listen to your explanation."

"Then I will continue." Faria coughed softly, and continued to tell others about his deduction, "Mr. Alexanderson didn't know the actual effect of this drug, so he thought it This is a bargaining chip to persuade Miss Megan to help him escape, and the drowsiness is just a small side effect."

"So, Alexanderson invited Miss Megan to talk to him at night. After learning about his thoughts, Miss Megan still refused. The two started a dispute, which was heard by Lip in the process, and finally saw The two of them walked into the laundry room, and when Alexanderson took out the medicine that Paracelsus had failed to develop, Miss Meghan finally accepted his plan with suspicion."

"Then how did they know that there was an electric shock trap there?" Elio looked at Faria and asked, "Brother Faria, the actions you deduced by the two of them seem to be based on their long-standing Already know there's a trap base out there?"

"Yes, if it is said that the two of them have already investigated there in private, there is a possibility of this kind of action." Faria looked at the crowd and said, "The moss on the ground has already told me Answer."

"moss?"

"Yes." Faria nodded, "Because of the dark and humid environment in the laundry room, there is already a layer of moss on the ground, and I already know how many people have been close to it through the footprints printed on it. entered here."

He paused, then continued: "The ones wearing high heels are Lip and Ms. Assassin. There is a single footprint left by Miss Ariel's first entry, and the messy footprints that are almost connected are our The traces left by going to the scene after the incident, but among these footprints, there are two kinds of footprints that are particularly abrupt. These two kinds of footprints appeared twice in the laundry room, and each time they went to the end of the crime. , but after these two kinds of footprints appeared for the second time, only one of the footprints was too large to return to the original road."

"In other words, these two footprints belong to Ms. Megan and Mr. Alexanderson, right?" Qiu Shan Richen asked.

"That's it. If the second time came here because two people were going to escape, then what was the reason for the first time?" Faria looked at the others and said, "Then there is no doubt that you came here first Let's explore this escape route discovered by Miss Ario."

"And the two people discovered the trap of the so-called escape route, that's why they started such a dispute, that's right." Highmore looked at Faria, nodded and said.

Faria looked at the big screen with a smile, nodded and said, "That's right, that's right, and after Alexanderson got the potion developed by Caster, although he didn't confirm it, he was eager to escape. I'm afraid he doesn't have the leisure to conduct this kind of experiment, or the quantity of the potion itself is quite rare, right, Mr. Paracelsus."

Listening to Faria's inquiry, Paracelsus just sat in his seat and did not speak, but in his helpless smile, the answer to this question seemed self-evident.

Alexanderson lowered his head, but he immediately looked at Faria, smiled and said, "I still have a few questions, Your Excellency Faria."

Faria looked at Alexanderson, although he was still smiling politely, but the smile on his face became a little subtler, and there seemed to be a touch of sadness in the latter's eyes: " Are you still planning to... fight the final [battle] here?"

"Ah, yes, I will stand here, Mr. Faria. Since I am involved, this is my battlefield. No matter what, no matter what the result is, I will have a fair game with you." Alexandersen narrowed his eyes, revealed a calm voice, looked at Faria with a very solemn expression, and said sonorously, "Then in this battle, let me take a look How far can you go—Priest of Hope, come and try to use your words as a weapon to defeat my defense, otherwise, the one who leaves the stage in a disastrous defeat will definitely be you!"

Ninth Day in Jail - Evidence Reasoning: Response

Faria and Alexanderson smiled at each other. Although there was no communication between the two, at this moment, they seemed to have reached a consensus.

The next moment, Alexanderson opened his mouth and said loudly: "I ask you, Faria, you said that I am the murderer, and the way I did the murder was to inject medicine into Miss Megan's body , but you said that I am a Chinese medicine doctor, so why am I good at acupuncture and moxibustion, and I am proficient in injecting medicine?"

Faria snapped his fingers, looked at Alexanderson and said, "Sorry, I did say that you are good at acupuncture, so I inferred that you are a Chinese medicine doctor, but I did not deny your knowledge of Western medicine, no Wrong."

Looking at Alexanderson's expression, Faria retorted mercilessly: "If you are a Chinese medicine doctor, then why do you want to work with Miss Nightingale? Traditional Chinese medicine and Western nursing science But there is a big difference, since this is the case, as a Chinese medicine practitioner, you want to work with Miss Nightingale, don't you think it is against harmony?"

"It's very simple. Ms. Nightingale is a milestone in the medical field, and can also be said to be the originator of the enlightenment of nursing. As a colleague, what's the problem with working with her?" Alexanderson replied unabated .

Faria let out a loud roar, which made Alexanderson slightly stunned: "This is a big problem! You are right, in our time, there have been products of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, but If you are a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, you should understand the essential difference between the two in the process of treating patients. If you really want to work with Miss Nightingale, then you can really call yourself [there is no such thing as Western medicine]. Any traditional Chinese medicine that knows about]?"

"Well, then how can you be sure that I am a person with superb medical skills? Miss Nightingale also said that the murderer injected drugs into Miss Meghan in a neat and neat way. There is no doubt that he is a doctor who is proficient in this !” Alexanderson demanded of Faria.

"Because of the testimony of Mr. Paracelsus! This is the biggest flaw, Your Excellency Alexanderson!" Faria suddenly shouted, pointed to the young man on the big screen, and said with a smile , "Let me recall Caster's testimony for you just now - [Alexandersen himself injected it and fell into a coma, but he didn't know the fact that the drug was very different from the original idea], this is what Caster just made clear what was said."

The faces of all the people present changed instantly. They looked at Faria and said, "By the way, the meaning of this sentence is that when experimenting with this potion, Mr. Alexanderson actually injected himself. ?”

Paracelsus shook his head, looked at the crowd and said, "No way, because I'm really not good at this kind of injection, and since Alexanderson said he can do it himself, then I will give it to you." He'll do it."

Faria pointed at Alexanderson and said loudly: "That's it, Mr. Alexanderson, the person who is confident enough to give himself an injection is really a doctor who only knows a little about Western medicine! "

Alexanderson raised his brows, but the smile on his face still did not cool down. On the contrary, it became more fierce as his argument was overturned, as if he was enjoying the battle of words and guns. He hesitated, and immediately said: "Then there is still a problem, why do you think I am one of you! You must know that I have been in the pharmacy with Instructor Paracelsus since the moment I saw you, How can you conclude that I am the same [prisoner] as you?"

"It's very simple! Because of the smell that emanates from you, Your Excellency Alexanderson!" Faria showed a triumphant smile, and immediately responded to him in the most intense tone, "After you and I met for the first time I already deduced that you were a doctor when I was there, just because of the smell you gave off."

After hearing Faria's words, Alexanderson instinctively sniffed the smell on his body, and at this moment, Faria immediately said: "Because that is a disinfectant that can only be touched in modern hospitals." the same smell that could be found in this prison only in Miss Nightingale's infirmary!"

Alexanderson's body froze for a moment, while Faria shook his head and continued, "What did you just say? Mr. Alexanderson, you seem to have said that you were with Caster from the very beginning. Get along with the pharmacy, right, then please explain why you are contaminated with the smell of medical disinfectant that you should not be able to touch?"

There was a trace of cold sweat on Alexanderson's cheeks, but immediately after, he clenched his fists and laughed suddenly: "Heh heh, Your Excellency Faria, since this is the case, I still have some questions , why are you so convinced that the relationship between Miss Meghan and I can trust each other to that extent!"

"There are two things that remind me, Mr. Alexanderson." Faria stretched out two fingers and answered for Alexanderson, "One, because the people in this prison, They are all people who have created a reputation in the outside world, or are extremely important people, I started to doubt it from Si Kong Mirage's words, and finally confirmed the conclusion after getting along for such a long time."

"Ah? What does it have to do with me..." Sikong Mirage looked at Faria, clenched his teeth in frustration, "I actually provided help to you... I really failed..."

Faria showed a wry smile, and continued: "Sikong Mirage said a word when we first met, [Are you going to study me thoroughly like those guys in the research institute!] Such words, from that At that time, I had some doubts about his identity, and I began to think about whether the prisoners in this prison were all extraordinary guys."

"Subsequently, something happened to Ms. Elio, and her identity as a popular phantom thief was revealed. At the same time, I found out in the aftermath investigation that Ikov, who died as a murderer... was a former KGB member and a The most famous mercenary in the world today, and finally, we discovered the identity of Ms. Megan—the chief executive of the mysterious countermeasure department of MI[-]." Faria spread his hands and continued, "They have no There is no doubt that in various aspects, as long as they report their identities, they can achieve a sensational effect. In this case, I am thinking about one thing, whether there are such people who can get acquainted with Miss Megan? We despise and trust someone, and that person must be someone we haven't been with for a long time, must be someone we don't know, and must be the person who is most likely to reach a negotiation with Miss Megan."

Faria paused at this moment, pointed at Alexanderson and said, "Besides, this is the most fundamental purpose of hiding your identity, isn't it? Mr. Alexanderson!"

Ninth Day in Jail - Rivalry: Arguments for Endgame

Alexanderson fell silent completely. In this game, Faria had a clear upper hand. Because of Alexanderson's silence, the scene fell into an eerie calm. No one spoke. Qiu Shan Richen didn't even dare to breathe out, for fear of disrupting this delicate balance.

Alexanderson lowered his head and said slowly in a calm tone, "Father Faria, I have two last questions to ask you."

"What question? I will try my best to answer it for you, Mr. Alexanderson." Faria also smiled respectfully at him and asked, tilting his head.

Alexanderson looked at Faria on the screen, smiled and stretched out his right index finger to him, and asked: "First, you should know that all those designated to participate in the adjudication must be present and participate. In this debate, if this rule is violated, then that person will be forcibly executed, although this has never been said, but you must be aware of this."

Faria laughed, nodded to him and said, "Yes, I do know."

"So, how can I attend this ruling? How can I participate in your discussion?" Without waiting for Faria to answer, he stretched out his right middle finger and looked at Faria Going on, "Then, the second question, Mr. Detective, what reason do I have, or who can be so important... that I would not hesitate to commit this crime and escape from here?"

He stared at Faria, and said word by word: "As long as you can answer these two questions, then you will win."

Everyone looked at the latter, but found that Faria breathed a sigh of relief after learning about these two questions, patted his chest and said, "Sorry, I thought you still I don't think you are so considerate of having any difficult questions, Mr. Alexanderson."

Seeing Faria's smiling expression, Alexanderson raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Tell me the answer, otherwise I will never admit defeat, Mr. Faria."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Faria waved his hand at Alexanderson and continued, "About your first question, this is very easy to explain, when I just met you , you should be carrying something, right?"

Alexanderson didn't deny it, and continued to look at Faria.

And Faria continued: "At that time, you reminded me of one thing - [the adjudication must be present], why do you know the rules of the adjudication so clearly?"

"What's the matter, maybe other Mr. Heroic Spirit told me." Alexanderson shrugged and said.

"Okay, then suppose you did hear the rules of the ruling from a heroic spirit, but at that point in time, why did you walk towards the pharmacy holding a large wooden box?" Faria tilted her head asked.

Alexanderson frowned: "I should have told you that I was carrying a very poisonous potion for the Paracelsus mentor. If you are not careful, even if you just come into contact with its smell, it will hurt you." died of severe poisoning."

"Very well, here comes the question, what kind of highly toxic substance is it?" Faria snapped his fingers and asked, "I think other people should be curious too."

Alexanderson replied: "It's just some raw materials, but because of this, their poison is more pure and undiluted poison."

"Very good, then, can the wooden box you're holding be really well sealed to prevent any gas from leaking out?" Faria looked at Alexanderson and asked, "And, if I If I remember correctly, if there is such a terrifying poison, Miss Nightingale probably won't let you carry it by yourself, just sit back and ignore it."

"Of course, if that kind of poison really exists in the prison, I can't let it circulate freely." Nightingale looked at Alexanderson on the screen with a cold face, and said in a warning tone, "So, I hope to go to your place immediately to have a look. What exactly is the highly toxic substance you are talking about?"

Alexanderson's brows were frowned immediately, and he drifted back and forth between Faria and Nightingale for a while, but Faria immediately interrupted and said, "It's all right, Miss Nightingale, I don't need you Go there, because there are no highly toxic substances at all."

He smiled and looked at Alexanderson and said: "When I passed you, I heard something in the wooden box rubbing against the wood. It is definitely not a raw material or medicinal material. The sound that can be produced is the unique friction sound between hard objects. I think it is the computer equipment used to monitor the entire ruling process, and the monitoring props are actually on this big screen. The camera has been ignored by everyone! As for the authenticity, you only need to see if there is any computer equipment in your room to know.”

Faria paused here for a while, and continued: "Then the second question is, why do you want to escape from here, or in other words, is there anyone who is important enough for you to do so... "

He looked at Alexanderson's neck, showed a smile, lowered his head and said, "Your sister is very cute, Mr. Alexanderson, I think she... should be receiving treatment in a famous hospital now Bar."

Alexanderson clenched his fist slightly and looked at Faria with a frown: "How do you know?"

Faria said: "It is impossible to keep a photo of a girl in such an exquisite pendant and stay with me all the time, if she is not the most important person in my life. Considering the appearance of the girl in the photo, as your The wife is really too young, if it is a daughter, and she is a little older, then she can only be a younger sister."

"Moreover, although the background of the girl in the photo is quite blurred, there is still a shadow of a hanging needle and a needle tube at the edge of the photo, and the wall behind her is not what ordinary hospitals can have, that is, if she is in a hospital , it must be a fairly well-known hospital, and the reason why you are so anxious is probably the only hope that you can rush back to your sister who is seriously ill and has to be hospitalized immediately."

After listening to Faria's analysis, Alexanderson lowered his head, lifted the pendant around his neck and held it in his hand, and said calmly, "The name is... Chen Ling."

"Huh?" Faria froze for a moment, watching Alexanderson tilt his head.

"It's the child's name. You are right, Your Excellency Faria. This is indeed my sister, and she was sent to the hospital for physical reasons. If I was not by my side when she woke up, the child must have You'll be terrified..." Alexanderson's eyes showed a gentle look, he tightly held the pendant on his chest, and closed his eyes.

"This guy, already at this point, is he still going to deny it..." Highmore looked at Alexanderson, lowered his head and thought, but there was a faint smile on his face.

Faria also looked at the man, with a look of sadness in his eyes: "Alexandersen..."

"My name is Chen Kejie, Mr. Faria." However, at this moment, Alexanderson suddenly raised his head and said something that surprised everyone, especially Highmore, "Your reasoning is correct. I... am the one who killed Miss Megan."

Ninth Day in Jail - End of Verdict: Sentence

"Alexandersen... no, Chen Kejie? What you just said, that is to say..." Faria looked at the man whose pseudonym was Alexanderson and whose real name was Chen Kejie, and swallowed asked.

"Ah, that's right, I admit that I killed Miss Megan." Chen Kejie looked at Faria with a smile, and continued, "The modus operandi, motive and various evidences, your reasoning is correct , I didn't know that the medicine would lead to such an ending, but I did let Miss Megan die here, so I should die to atone for my sin."
