Chapter 780 Students
All the lights were turned off, and the huge orchestra suddenly sounded from weak to strong in the darkness. The sound was deafening. The high-pitched French female singing voice seemed to pierce the eardrums. All the heartbeats, breathing, and exclamations were hidden in the orchestra. Down.
"Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" has appeared many times in the soundtrack of the brain-burning suspense movie "Inception". It is a song sung by French diva singer Edith Piaf. It is full of emotions and unique mood, with its passionate tone and background. The pipeline suppresses almost all noise underneath.
The six people around the round table may be screaming, cursing, or silent. In the darkness, the singing continues for a long time, and everyone can feel the murderous intent beginning to permeate this seemingly calm and peaceful singing. During the moment, they were on pins and needles, the hairs all over their bodies stood up, and the muscles in their hands and feet began to tighten.
Even if the iron box warns that anyone who tries to violently break away from the iron wire wall will detonate the explosives, but if almost everyone present is a mixed race, who is willing to wait for death? But in this situation where vision and hearing are blocked, how can they be sure that they are the killer's prey? This is a breathtaking paradox.
If you can't help the fear of death and use special means to break free from the wire, the explosives will explode and everyone's bones will be wiped out. If you are really the target selected by the killer, then it is probably not a loss, but what if you are not that target? Wouldn't this be a waste of time?
This is simply gambling. No one expected this to happen. At the moment when everyone's ideological decision-making reaches its peak and is about to be overwhelmed by unknown fears and threats, the singing reaches its climax, the orchestral music rises, and suddenly a The overwhelming gunfire exploded!
The music stopped abruptly.
Dead silence.
The violent heartbeat returned to the darkness again, rapid breathing came and went, and no one spoke.
Bah.
The incandescent lamp turned on again, and the iron box on the round table refracted the white light, reflecting the elongated and deformed faces on the seats. Everyone was looking around, and their eyes froze after touching the same direction.
Someone took a deep breath, and the pungent smell of blood filled the nostrils.
The lawyer is dead.
A bloody hole was opened on the lawyer's forehead, and red and white paste splattered on the ground on both sides and on the metal chair armrests. Regardless of whether he was a mixed race or something else, it would be difficult not to die after suffering such trauma. In the end, the only thing left on his face was panic, with infinite fear.
One person was lost among the six, leaving five.
"." There was a deathly silence at first. Everyone stared at the bloody hole on the lawyer's forehead, but no one retched or made any expression of discomfort.
The police stared at the lawyer's body without saying a word; the man with the flowery arms sat upright and seemed to be beginning to realize the seriousness of the matter; the female doctor looked thoughtfully at the body lying on the back of the chair with his head in the sky. From time to time, the student turned his head and looked around; the student stared at the lawyer's forehead with his head down and his breathing was somewhat disturbed.
Chu Zihang, on the other hand, did not even look at the lawyer's body, but looked around to observe everyone's reaction.
"The lawyer is dead." The policeman broke the silence first, "Cause of death."
"Anyone with eyes can see the shooting." The man with the flowery arm stared intently at the hole in the corpse's forehead, his expression could not be told as ferocious or serious, "You are really fucking kidding, right?"
"No, that's not the cause of death he wanted to say." The student looked at the police and said.
"The correct cause of death should be a referendum vote." The female doctor licked her lips slightly and moistened the slightly dry red lips. "Only one person died. It seems that last night should have been Christmas Eve."
".45 caliber, vertical angle, the back of the head should have been penetrated." Chu Zihang said.
"Knowing guns?" The man with the flowery arms looked at Chu Zihang, who looked like a good student, in surprise.
"Shooting at a vertical angle, isn't that what you fired?" The female doctor looked at Chu Zihang and shook her eyebrows, "Don't make any negative remarks about yourself in this situation, little brother."
"It would be a real disadvantage to me if I wait until others point it out." Chu Zihang said, "You can see through the shape and direction of the blood spatter, and you can see that the person who fired the shot was standing behind me. There was no flash when the gun fired, probably because it was equipped with a flash suppressor, so the sound of the gun was a little dull."
"It seems that the killer can leave the seat freely. My advice to him is to run far away the next night. If you dare to put the gun to my head, it will definitely be his dog brain that explodes." The man with the flowery arms glanced at everyone viciously.
"This kind of threat is useless. If he dares to run away, the result will probably be that the bomb explodes and everyone is dead, right? I have no doubt that the murderer behind the scenes will do this," the student said.
"The person who was voted out of the referendum is dead, what should we do now?" The policeman stared at the lawyer's body with a dull voice. A little guilt could be seen in his eyes. After all, he threw the lawyer to death with his own hands. Everyone here Everyone is part of Kill the Lawyer.
"It seems that the doctor actually succeeded in protecting the right person last night, and the killer was empty-handed." The student told the truth, "No matter who the doctor is, he saved the person very well."
"Who was the killer last night?" the man with the flowery arm asked.
"This question is a trap, no one should answer it." The student immediately interrupted the man with the flowery arm, frowned and looked at the other person and said, "Didn't I say that any words about Dr. Pan's identity are suspected of being induced by a killer? This If everyone is normal, then I will vote for you."
"Fuck!" The flower-armed man wanted to get angry, but seeing everyone else looking at him indifferently, he swallowed back the curse words that originally came to his mouth, because his rash remarks just now were indeed unreasonable.
"But at least now in the eyes of the doctor, there is one person who is not suspected of being a killer." The female doctor said calmly.
"Isn't it possible that the killer committed suicide and defrauded the insurance company?" the student looked at the female doctor and asked.
"If all this is true, the killer would be crazy and bet on the one-fifth chance that the doctor will protect him, right? There are no prophets or police officers in this game." The female doctor shook her head. The student's conjecture was rejected, "In a sense, doctors can even replace the police in this game."
"That's true." The student nodded slightly.
"I just don't know if the killer can stab the same person consecutively. If not, if the doctor and the people he protects are not dead in another night, and the killer stabs another person, the doctor will be faced with a happy choice if he jumps out of the self-identification situation. Yes." The female doctor said with a low smile, "If the first cut is empty, it will be very fatal for the killer."
"We can't play like this. If the killer kills the doctor on the second night, our advantage will basically disappear. Today's round of speeches must provide useful information." The student said, "We only have ten minutes during the day, we have to hurry up. .”
"What are you doing now? Are you going to continue dog-eating-dog?" The man with the flowery arm sneered.
"If the killer is an ordinary person, then if he wants to pretend to be a 'mixed race' like us, he must fabricate a false experience. As long as it is a lie, there must be loopholes. My suggestion is to start from position 1. We have Ten minutes, each person will tell their story for two minutes," the female doctor said with a slight smile.
"Your own story?" The policeman was stunned for a moment.
"I don't think that your life resume is as flat as a blank sheet of paper. As a 'mixed race' and gifted, you must have twists and turns and ups and downs stories to tell, right? Why don't we just carry those stories? Come out and tell the story, the more realistic and convincing it is, the smaller his suspicion will be. Naturally, the only ordinary killer can only make up his own story temporarily, and the loopholes in the story will probably be obvious." The female doctor glanced at the scene. The four people said slowly.
"I have no objection," the student said.
"I have no objection either." The policeman paused and said.
"It's been a minute since I told the story of how I smuggled myself to the coast and started from scratch to kill everyone." The man with the flowery arms suddenly became excited. It seemed that the female doctor's suggestion was just right for him.
"No objection." Chu Zihang also said.
"Me first?" the student asked.
"The story should be as 'special' as possible." The female doctor reminded her with narrowed eyes.
"It's nothing 'special', it's just a self-introduction." The student said calmly, "The year before last, he was the top student in arts and sciences in the high school entrance examination, the city's top three students, the full holder of the Visby scholarship, and the center of the school's basketball team led the team to high schools across the country. Won the championship in the grade 1 basketball competition, the Pablo Casals International Award youth cello competition champion, the city track and field team's seed player is being evaluated for the national track and field team, the first prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition, the first prize in the National Middle School Physics Competition, the National High School First Prize in Student Chemistry Competition I think you don’t want me to read all the next five or six competitions, so I’ll skip here for now.”
"What a good student." The female doctor smiled like a flower, and the more she looked at the student, the more she liked him.
"I've never heard of such a famous person?" The policeman took another look at the student's appearance.
"Chu Zijie, this is my name. It should be searchable on the Internet. If you are interested, you can check it out after you leave here." The student tilted his head slightly, "If you want to listen, I can also talk about things other than academic studies. . For example, I once won three million in cash in an underground casino, and the three million was the banker's money. The casino betrayed and wanted to kill my whole family. In the end, it stopped after several people died and it was exposed."
"Oh, I suddenly remembered the name Chu Zijie." A strange look appeared in the man's eyes, "Are you the ruthless guy who won three million by playing cards in Lao Maozi's casino at the age of 18?"
"Mathematical matters cannot be called thousand. Games like Texas Hold'em are inherently traceable, and the only people who can make thousand in underground casinos are the bankers. It's just that I found out that they can only play fair to save face. Looking at the group of It’s funny how the guy is so angry, but it’s quite disgusting to think that you can’t afford to win but you can’t afford to lose.” The student said with a low smile.
"What is your speech spirit?" the female doctor suddenly asked.
"Yan Ling?" The student looked at the female doctor.
"Superpower." The female doctor shrugged, "Don't say you don't know."
"." The student took a deep look at the female doctor and said, "My calculation ability is very strong, which is different from ordinary people's."
"It's not outstanding, but it's reasonable." The female doctor smiled and looked at the man with the flowery arm. "There are even people who can prove the authenticity of his story."
"No, wait." The man with the flowery arm narrowed his eyes, "What if this kid is pretending to be someone else? You know that story is widely spread on the street. The old man was fished by a Qinggouzi kid. Three million dollars in oil and water is enough to be laughed at for a lifetime. The casino's financial chain is broken and it can't continue to operate. Now even the gangsters on the street are talking about it with relish."
"Then do you have any questions?" the student asked, looking sideways at the man with the flowery arms.
"Let me ask you something, kid, you beat Lao Maozi for 3 million and came back with a sudden comeback in the last round? Now that we are talking about this matter on the road, there are many opinions on the form of the comeback in the last round. Some say you You got a full house and won a pair of Aces. Some people said that you got four kings and beat the dealer's three aces. Some even boasted that you got a royal flush and killed everyone. Only those who actually participated in the poker game know what happened at that time. Unfortunately, there are An insider told me about the card situation in the last round." The man with the flowery arm narrowed his eyes, "Boy, you should understand what I mean, right?"
"Then your friend should be talking big words. Believe it or not, I can't remember what cards I got in the last round, because that round is not important at all." The student said lightly, "That night I After playing twenty-three cards, there were wins and losses, and there was no such thing as a stud comeback."
"It's interesting." The flower-armed man smiled.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?" The female doctor looked at the man with the flowery arms.
"You guys should really work under me and help me to step on those people's troubles. I have long been dissatisfied with Lao Maozi's dirty tricks in the casino. Even my people dare to cheat me and clamored that I won't help Ma Zai. If you repay the loan, you will chop up my whole family, Ma Zai, and you will make me feel comfortable with the three million you earned." The man with the flowery arm laughed unpleasantly, "The policeman over there must have heard about the subsequent murder case, right?"
"Three dead and one injured, gas explosion, arson, and deliberate murder in a residential building. The superiors issued a death order to investigate the matter thoroughly, but in the end they could only capture a few scapegoats and use them as examples to report to calm public opinion." The policeman took a deep breath and looked at the original A harmless student, "I didn't expect to find out the whole story here."
"It seems that the story is reliable and credible, and the legend is quite high." The female doctor raised her eyebrows, "Then who should be next?"
Everyone else looked at the female doctor herself. She paused and smiled and said, "It turns out it's my turn. That's right. I'm No. 2, so I won't waste time."
"As you can see, I am a doctor." She said, and then began to tell her story.
