Xu Shuo angrily read the script again and realized that although he looked like a murderer, he did not seem to be the murderer.
He just participated in the case.
Xu Shuo finished reading the script and looked at everyone present calmly, preparing to find the "younger brother" he needed to protect and the person who was suitable to throw dirty water.
Then, his eyes met Xu Xi's unexpectedly.
But the two of them were in the game now and didn't know what script the other had received, so they just glanced at each other and calmly looked away.
At this time, Yang Lili, who was sitting next to Xu Xi, looked at the script in her hand and saw the words "I am the murderer" very clearly between the words, and she felt a little nervous at the moment.
I hope Xiaoxi can let me go...
She never expected that the murderer in this game would be herself. The master who could take her flying might become her enemy. Yang Lili secretly cursed and planned not to look at Xu Xi in this game, lest the game would end in another ten minutes.
.
The murderer in the previous script was also miserable. Due to a bug in the script, the murderer was not well protected, which caused the scene to overturn.
This time, Yang Lili felt that she should be able to survive ten minutes.
The script takes place in an Internet chat room, where several netizens are discussing the details of a mutilated murder case in a city ten years ago, and the killer is among them.
The host counted the time, and after the scheduled script reading time, he spoke again: "The time is up. Now, everyone is welcome to enter the chat room. Everyone here has more or less contact with the deceased Deng Aixin. Before conducting evidence collection
, we can introduce ourselves to each other and get to know each other."
For a moment, as if it was the host's illusion, the air in the corner of the small screen became a little stagnant.
The two male students who had been chatting happily before got into the mood and looked at everyone with serious eyes. Yang Lili got the murderer's script. In order to hide herself, her expression became quite fierce.
Xu Xi's face was habitually paralyzed and expressionless, and Xu Shuo's face was also calm. The two brothers and sisters were very indifferent.
The host wiped the cold sweat from his forehead for no reason. Is everyone so silent and so stressful? Is it true that everyone is a boss?
Pei Sheng was the only one at the scene with his legs crossed carelessly, waving his hands indifferently and saying, "I'm not the murderer!"
Everyone: "..."
But the stagnant atmosphere at the scene was broken.
Xu Shuo took the "gentle man" character card and sighed slightly and said: "I do know Deng Aixin, but I only have that kind of business relationship with her because she used to often go to eat in the restaurant I opened, and we got to know each other through that."
After Xu Shuo finished speaking, another boy was about to speak, but Yang Lili suddenly spoke first and said: "Deng Aixin and I are very good friends, but I fell in love with her boyfriend, but I don't want to ruin the relationship between us.
Friendship, so because of the troubles caused by this incident, I left the city during that time."
The character card she got was "Meng Qiuxue", a female character in this game.
However, after she finished speaking, Xu Shuo glanced at her calmly. At the same time, a bright light seemed to flash in the eyes of Xu Xi, who was sitting next to her.
…
The story background of "The Woman at the Window" has the shadow of a cult, and the whole scene contains all kinds of weird and bloody scenes that destroy all three concepts.
The host controlled the whole scene. After the self-introduction and discussion in the first act, it was time to collect evidence. The deceased was killed and dismembered ten years ago. The clue cards contained pictures of maps and various props.
In this scene, Xu Shuo described himself as a very innocent guest of the deceased, but when searching for evidence, there was a certain chance that clue cards with character information would be drawn.
For example, the tricycle driven by a gentle man can easily remind people of the vehicle used to dump corpses.
Xu Shuo sighed silently in his heart, why in every script, even the accomplice has to do so many troublesome and easily exposed things.
If it were him...
Forget it, why do you always substitute yourself?
Because Yang Lili got the murderer's script, she tried every means to blur her gender, her purpose, and her love and hatred.
Xu Xi's character is another woman, Qian Ge, who is the best friend of the deceased and even saw the scene of the deceased's death.
The other two boys are the characters of "Black Mass" and "Prometheus" respectively. They are both characters who are more convenient to make up stories and hide themselves.
Only Pei Sheng is the worst, he is "impermanent".
He is a character whose personality and actions are somewhat sensitive, so after the clues were gradually revealed, Xu Shuo began to throw dirty water on him.
What? The one who kills the pig is probably not the one who dismembers the body, right?
What? I went out secretly at night, afraid that I wouldn’t throw away...
What? You did kill someone!
"I'm really not a murderer!"
Pei Sheng, who was constantly being insulted by Xu Shuo, angrily threw the clue card on the table and said angrily: "I did run a pig farm, I did sneak out often at night, I did... throw things out, but I'm not
The murderer of that incident!"
The clues of "The Woman at the Window" include not only pictures, but also video and audio. Just when the video clues of the scene were released, the bloody scene directly exposed what "Impermanence" had done.
So Xu Shuo grasped this point and scolded him to death, so much so that he himself began to doubt his life.
Pei Sheng was so angry that he immediately threw down the script.
Are these still brothers?!
This script is too targeted at me!
"Wait a minute, instead of identifying me as the murderer, shouldn't the suspicion of 'Prometheus' be greater?" Pei Sheng was so angry that he calmed down and looked at the male student opposite him with squinted eyes: "You are the director of Pinewood Hospital"
Sir, you have purchased death row inmates for experiments, and you have often asked the dead to repair your computer, but your computer does not need repair at all. It is not difficult to think of this..."
"etc!"
Seeing that the sewage was about to be poured on him, the male student stood up excitedly and began to argue.
The scene became very lively for a while. Xu Shuo lazily leaned on the sofa and watched with a smile as the two of them tried to clear each other's suspicions.
Xu Xi's identity is a prisoner pigeon. After she cleared herself, she maintained her talkative character and played herself into a marginal role.
Yang Lili sat next to him and looked at Xu Shuo with bright eyes.
The character Meng Qiuxue and the gentle man are actually brothers. It can be seen from the clue card of a group photo. However, because Yang Lili bit her to death as a woman and Xu Shuo helped cover it up, she was not exposed.
After all, once Meng Qiuxue's male identity is exposed, it is easy to think that he is the boyfriend of the deceased, and thus speculate that he is the murderer.
But now, the two most suspicious people are ‘Impermanence’ and ‘Proxitius’.
The host was watching with cold sweat on his face. While comforting Pei Sheng, who was emotional because of "being betrayed by his brother," he continued to control the entire script so that the game could proceed normally.
When it came time to identify the murderer at the end, Xu Shuo seemed to be thinking and said: "Although 'Prometheus' is also a strong suspect, I still think 'Impermanence' is the murderer."
Yang Lili followed closely: "I also vote for 'impermanence'!"
The male student who plays the role of "Black Mass" is both helpless and lucky (fortunately that he has not been slandered). Although he thinks there is something strange about this reasoning, but now that the game has come to an end, he hesitates and votes for "impermanence"
.
As for 'Prometheus', of course he will general without hesitation!
Pei Sheng: "Pfft——"
He clutched his chest and fell on the sofa.
The host looked at the girl who had been silent and demure in the corner. Xu Xi said lightly: "'Meng Qiuxue', because..."
She paused for a moment before continuing: "I think she would kill her love rival out of jealousy."
Because her reasoning was baseless and seemed to be just a guess based on intuition and mood, everyone didn't take it to heart and just regarded her as a random vote.
But Yang Lili looked at her with eyes wide open in disbelief, with a hurt expression of "being betrayed by a good best friend". On the contrary, Pei Sheng, who had just been stimulated, sat up excitedly.
"Great! At least someone believes that I'm not the murderer!"
Xu Shuo looked at him with a half-smile but said nothing.
A few votes were cast for ‘Impermanence’, confirming his identity as the murderer, and the subsequent votes were cast for ‘Prometheus’, confirming his identity as the body-disposer.
Neither of the two suspects was left behind.
Pei Sheng gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Shuo, stared at the host and said, "Okay, hurry up and review it for me. If I find out that this kid is actually the murderer, I will strangle him to death later!"
The host said sarcastically: "Don't worry, he is not the murderer."
…
Then the murderer won this game.
Xu Shuo's character is indeed not a murderer, just a body dumper.
The final review revealed that the murderer was 'Meng Qiuxue', a man who disguised himself as a woman. He killed the deceased and forged the time of death because of his identity. Later, in order to help his brother cover up the fact of the murder, the 'gentle man' divided the deceased into parts.
The bodies were dumped in different locations.
As for other characters, they have all done some dark things for their own reasons, so everyone is actually dirty.
Pei Sheng was so angry that he rushed up and grabbed Xu Shuo's shoulders and shook him hard: "I know that when this guy is chasing after someone, it must be because there is a fact that he wants to cover up. Damn it! He actually poured it on me!"
"Because your identity is really convenient for you to become a scapegoat, but you are also very smart and do not take the identity of the person who dumped the body on yourself." Xu Shuo said with a smile.
"Ah, you actually want to convict me of two crimes?!"
The two male students also smiled bitterly beside them. Because of the rhythm of the guy, their reasoning direction was completely distorted, and they kept running in the direction of cult behavior and hospital experimental subjects, thinking that this was a case of a religious nature.
Therefore, in the overall situation, they almost never doubted the identity of 'Meng Qiuxue'.
After listening to the host's review and venting his anger, Pei Sheng lay on the sofa like a salted fish.
Today, his brother sacrificed him for a woman.
Yang Lili said with a happy face: "I was originally worried that Brother Xu Shuo would not find out that I was his 'brother', and I was also worried that Xiao Xi would find out if I hinted too directly, but I didn't expect that it would start so smoothly!"
Because as long as the two of them can get online, it will be much easier to cover up and prevent cannibalism.
Xu Shuo smiled when he heard this: "Actually, I treat all of you as younger brothers at the beginning, and I will protect whoever can get on the line."
Everyone: "..."
Thinking about it this way, is it worth being recognized as your younger brother?
…
After playing a script-killing game for almost two or three hours, it was already dark outside.
After the game ended, before the two boys left, they said they could play together again next time, so they exchanged WeChat messages with Yang Lili. As for Xu Xi, she shook her head silently, and neither of them insisted.
Xu Shuo said that he still had things to go back to the studio to deal with, so he didn't join the two girls anymore and left with Pei Sheng as if he was a salted fish.
It was dark, and the Internet celebrity commercial street lit up with neon lights of various colors, decorating the street gorgeously and brightly.
Yang Lili held Xu Xi's arm, and the two of them strolled leisurely while saying: "Xiao Xi, you didn't let yourself go in the game just now, right?"
Xu Xi said lightly: "No, I did think that 'Wuchang' was the murderer in the early stage. But after your clues came out, I guessed that 'Meng Qiuxue' should be a male, and killed the deceased with an arm stick. But at that moment,
The script has been distorted by my brother into evil religious rituals."
When Yang Lili heard this, she laughed for a while, and then sighed and said: "You brothers and sisters are also true. Brother Xu Shuo pointed out his friend, and you pointed out me."
Xu Xi's face was still calm, but the corner of her mouth was slightly raised: "My brother said that in the game, there is only victory and defeat, no reason."
