"Since it is a large murder weapon, it would make a loud noise if thrown from such a high place, right?" Liang Zhi said with a flash of inspiration.
Ai Yuanyuan reacted immediately: "So when we gathered in the restaurant, whether we heard a loud noise is also a clue."
"There is only one route to the restaurant. Everyone comes in front and back, and the intervals are not long. The murderer throwing the weapon may have been heard by people in front or behind." Yan Cheng turned and looked at the exit of the corridor.
.
The natural light illuminated the place like the cave exit in the Conan series.
"Even if the murder weapon was not thrown into the sea, by analyzing the distance of each person from the starting point to the restaurant, and comparing the order of everyone's actual arrival at the restaurant, we can know who was delayed in the middle. It can also be regarded as a directional clue."
They analyzed it very well, and Zhong Jiuyin only nodded in agreement.
After everyone had finished expressing their opinions, the five people divided their work to search for the hiding place of the murder weapon, which was possible since the murder weapon had not been thrown into the sea.
The corridor is not big and there is not much space to accommodate objects, so it is relatively easy to find.
So it didn't take long for them to find a chainsaw stained with "blood".
Found it in the utility room where Zhong Jiuyin and Yan Cheng hid.
Zhong Jiuyin was still surprised. When she hid in, she only saw a bunch of messy cleaning tools, not a chainsaw. The smell of "blood" was quite pungent. Why didn't she notice it at the time?
With doubts in her heart, she subconsciously looked at Yan Cheng.
It happened that he was also looking over. The moment their eyes met, neither of them could say the questions they wanted to ask. At that time, the image of their eyes facing each other appeared in their minds.
Within two seconds, Yan Cheng lowered his eyes, and she naturally turned away, thinking -
Oh, yes, she was facing Yan Cheng with her back to the utility area, and she was still sitting in the mop bucket, so there was no way she could see any murder weapon.
They failed to discover this important clue in time, and they can only blame Yan Cheng alone.
Yuan Yi raised the chainsaw with a surprised expression: "It turns out the murderer is the chainsaw man."
"Chainsaw Man, show me this thing." Zhong Jiuyin stretched out his hand.
"Oh. It's a bit heavy, so be careful." Yuan Yi turned the chainsaw upside down and handed it to her, being careful to avoid getting the blood on her hands.
She took it over and mentioned it. The chainsaw was heavy and there was a lot of blood on it. They guessed it was a large murder weapon used to kill the guests of the masquerade.
"It is indeed a bit heavy. People with weak strength may not be able to lift it, especially if they haven't eaten enough. Not to mention that they have to carry it to kill everyone."
Liang Zhi: "But you lifted it very easily."
Zhong Jiuyin ignored him: "When did I give you the impression that I am not strong enough?"
Liang Zhi: ...Yes, when I tore off the gold coin stickers in the first two issues, I almost got thrown over her shoulder.
"Then it's not me anymore," Ai Yuanyuan said, "I'm not that strong. As a writer, I probably don't have much strength either."
"The painter doesn't have much strength, except for speaking arrogantly." Zhong Jiuyin pushed away the suspicion that had fallen on him.
So far, everyone's suspicions and self-confirmations are inseparable from the specious words "maybe/probably/should/could". No one is certain, and no one is so suspicious that he overshadows others.
According to the analysis, the murderer is probably under 1.85 meters tall, not strong in build, can use a chainsaw to kill indiscriminately, has a relatively depressing experience, had a dispute with the captain, and may be a gangster without an invitation letter.
It is suspected that he came out alone when he was hiding, and he also carried a knife... No one is completely consistent, but everyone always has one or two things that are close to him.
"Actually, I feel a little strange." Yan Cheng said suddenly.
"We only found the chainsaw, but not the knife. Let's take a bold guess. If the knife was thrown into the sea and the chainsaw was left here, what would it mean?"
Except for Zhong Jiuyin who stood idle, everyone else was thinking hard to keep up with his rhythm.
Ai Yuanyuan reacted the fastest and said with bright eyes: "It means the murderer can't throw the chainsaw. After all, there is a ship's side downstairs. If he throws it directly, it will hit the ship's side, so he must throw it farther away before throwing it into the sea."
Yan Cheng: "Yes. But it's not hard to think of this. What I'm thinking is, why did the murderer make it so obvious? It seems like he is deliberately confusing us."
"So far, the clues we have received are somewhat contradictory. It seems that everyone is a suspect, and it seems that no one has a clear suspicion."
"Before arriving at the ballroom, we retraced the plot of Chris and found out that there were no witnesses while evading. We learned that the murderer should be a male. There was no sign of a chainsaw next to the heels of his leather shoes, and he was very anxious when he ran away.
It doesn't look like there was time to go back and hide the murder weapon."
"After arriving at the ballroom, the clues pointed to women. There were no invitations, and only painters and writers came uninvited. When we started to doubt them, the clues showed that the murderer was an angry young man with some strength, who might have had some bad experiences. This
It’s possible for everyone.”
"So which clue does this plot want to lead us to? Or is it that the plot will not identify the murderer, and there are so many plots just to let us rely on our own subjective ideas to guess who is the final identification link?
murderer?"
After he finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
"It's so complicated." Zhong Jiuyin muttered.
Yan Cheng specifically said to her: "It can be simplified. The clues are messy. If you don't mind the gold coins, then you only need to identify a murderer based on your own ideas, and that's it in the end. Don't think too much about the rest."
"What if I also want to get gold coins at the same time?"
Yan Cheng: "Then just dream."
Zhong Jiuyin: "..."
"How about we eat something first?" She changed her voice, "Your words must have awakened everyone. Next, we have to think carefully about how to play the whole game from another angle."
Yan Cheng was speechless, but she was in a very good mood.
If the final result proves that she is the murderer, then based on her current flawless performance, her acting skills are far superior to those of many actors, and she can even act in criminal investigation dramas.
But he still said: "Then go eat first. Anyway, it won't matter if we can't analyze it."
"But you can't do it without eating," Zhong Jiuyin smoothly connected with his words and put her arm around Ai Yuanyuan's shoulders, "Let's go, pretty Yuanyuan, people are like iron rice or steel, eat less and your brain will be as dull as chaff. Anyway,
Brother Yan Cheng is not afraid of not getting gold coins, so we don’t have to be afraid."
"Your comparative comfort method is somewhat effective," Ai Yuanyuan glanced at Yan Cheng and said, "Although it is immoral, I am really not in a hurry now."
It was indeed wicked. Yan Cheng couldn't be bothered to get angry, but at the same time he couldn't help but laugh.
They walked into the restaurant. The dining table that had previously been decorated with candles and roses was now piled with food.
The sponsor's products occupied the C position, making it easy to take pictures. Expensive snacks paid for by the program crew were randomly placed in a ball.
Beef jerky, double-skinned milk, fruit, yogurt and nut cakes made Zhong Jiuyin’s eyes go straight when he saw them. He touched the table, chair and bench and sat down without moving his eyes.
"Thick Hair Five Black Package," she took the package that she was most interested in, "Enjoy the Tropical Nut Companion."
What does it mean to enjoy your partner? What kind of food is so bold!
I was so quick that I posted the previous chapter to yesterday, but I couldn't post it after midnight on 3.1... Damn paw! I have to punish it one day by not touching the keyboard.
