Chapter 362 The Detective Died as Soon as He Arrived

The game was supposed to be attended by eleven people, but there was one extra person, and only eleven chairs were placed in the hall. It is possible that even the mastermind behind the scenes did not expect this to happen.

I stood there, glanced at the round table, and saw Du Yu on the chair numbered 10.

At this moment, he and I had a tacit understanding of missing each other and pretending not to know each other.

"Newcomer, you're late. There's no room for you here." The man sitting in seat 6 bit the tip of his tongue. He was 1.5 meters tall and thin. His shoulder blades and clavicle protruded very obviously. What's even more concerning is that, He held a sharp blade in his hand and kept cutting his nails: "Everyone has seen the rules of the game. Each of us is a competitor. In the end, only five people can get the antidote. This extra person, I propose to kill him directly!"

The man looked like a skinny monkey, spoke viciously, and flipped the blade at his fingertips, as if he had a special desire for killing.

After he made the suggestion, many of the eleven people present were a little moved, and their eyes on me became cold.

Before the game even started, I encountered a crisis. As soon as I rolled my eyes, I didn't panic: "You want to kill me? If I resist with all my strength, at least two or three of you will be seriously injured. In this case, what does serious injury mean?" You should know that if you can kill me to reduce the pressure of competition, you can also kill the seriously injured person and increase your probability of winning. In the face of life and death, everyone is selfish, I think you should know it in your heart. "

After these words were spoken, some people's expressions recovered, while a few others only temporarily hid their murderous intentions.

For the people in the house at this time, killing was not a highly technical matter. Each of them could kill someone without using violence.

I didn't get close to those people, but stood a few meters away and looked at them: "The ugly, short and stumpy Mr. No. 6 just now also said that everyone is a competitor, but except for the votes that get to the end of the game, In addition to the top five getting the antidote, there is another happy ending, which is to find the killer who ate the red candy! Every two hours, there is a chance for collective testimony. As long as we find the killer, everyone will The antidote is available to everyone!”

I paused and looked at man No. 6 calmly: "The rules are very clear, but just now No. 6 deliberately ignored them and wanted to kill me. Is it possible that this indirectly proves that he is the killer? Testify against him, Will all of us survive?”

My gaze was like a sharp blade piercing the thin man No. 6. His face was gloomy, and he stabbed the blade on the round table with a wave of his hand. The blade penetrated the wooden table a few centimeters deep. It could be seen that his wrist was extremely strong: "Are you looking for death?"

Hearing his threat, I shrugged: "Can you kill me?"

The atmosphere became tense. It took more than ten seconds for someone to stand up and smooth things over. It was the man sitting on chair number three: "There is no need to make our relationship so tense. We are not completely competitors. We have been kidnapped." At this point, it can be said that we are friends who share weal and woe. We should cooperate and work together to find the twelfth person among us. His identity is probably the organizer. As long as we find him, we don't have to care about the rules of the game."

The man who spoke was 1.8 meters tall, and his body was unusually thin, so he looked extra tall. His slender aquiline nose made his appearance appear alert and decisive. His square and protruding jaw gave people a good first impression, and he seemed to be a trustworthy person. Guy: "Before arriving on the twelfth, I have already checked our location. I can confirm that we are underground, and underground in a certain prison."

"The furnishings in the cell are similar to those in a prison. What caught my attention was the old wooden barrel. It had been cleaned, but there was still a faint smell. There is no bathroom in this place, and the wooden barrel was used to contain filth. The lingering smell tells me we weren't the first people to be imprisoned here."

Man No. 3 observed many details, and everyone was listening: "The barrels have not been cleaned yet, and there is still a faint smell left, but there is no smell of blood in the entire underground, including the halls and cells, and no traces of blood or traces can be seen. Human mutilations, this is very unnatural. Such a clean venue does not look like a place where a killing game has been held. I suspect that the so-called confession game is just a method used by the police to extract confessions."

He smiled mysteriously: "Everyone here is a criminal master. Some people have created perfect alibi, and some people have created the illusion of a secret room murder. Their techniques are so superb that even the police can't crack it. Even if they know who the murderer is, they can't because of insufficient evidence. They couldn't arrest us, so they used this method to conduct a special interrogation in order to get us to confess!"

After hearing his words, a few people's eyes showed color, but more people remained expressionless, not knowing what they were thinking about.

"Everyone, this is a consistent tactic of the police. Apart from public agencies, I can't think of any other forces or individuals who have the ability and leisure to kidnap all of us to this place at the same time!" Man No. 3 said He has the pearl of wisdom in his hand and looks like he has seen through everything.

"Looking at the lucidity of your analysis, I'm a little curious about your identity in real life?" The man in pajamas sitting in seat one glanced at number three.

"I have many identities. I was the first Chinese-American police chief in Connecticut, a criminal forensics expert, a forensic scientist invited by the University of New Haven, a professional detective, etc. I am behind many famous cases in the country. Figure."

"Are you a professional detective?" I said in surprise. I didn't expect to meet a colleague here, but judging from the other person's introduction, it seemed that he was much more professional than me.

"Are you surprised? But speaking of it, I like crime more than solving crimes. If criminals are compared to extremely creative artists, then the detective can only be regarded as a critic of art at best." Man No. 3 As soon as his voice changed, he looked at me with interest: "What about you? What is your occupation?"

I spread my hands and shook my head: "Compared to 'successful' people like you, I am just a loser. I was expelled from the police academy for fighting. I am still idle in society and unemployed."

"Promising young man, if we can leave alive this time, you can follow me and help." Man No. 3 grinned and stood up from his seat facing everyone: "The space we are in is sealed, there are no doors or windows, and I have a total of Thirteen vents were found, and these vents were only fifteen centimeters in diameter. No one could escape from there. So the question is, since there are no doors or windows, how did we get in?"

There was excitement in his eyes: "Obviously, the door is in the space we are in, but it is hidden."

"You mean we can leave as long as we find the door? We don't have to care about the rules of the game at all?" The man in pajamas No. 1 asked with some uncertainty: "The other party has spent so much effort to get us in, so he shouldn't show such Obvious flaws.”

Everyone else also retorted, but Man No. 3 shook his head: "I have found the door, you can come or not as you like."

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the west wall of the hall, where there was an old cabinet: "The place where we were imprisoned had no food and water, and we were only given one night. In that case, what is the purpose of this cabinet in the hall? ?”

"It's bulky and takes up space. Other than that, I can't think of any other features." Man No. 3 waved to me and Pajama Man No. 1, gesturing for us to cooperate with him in pushing the cabinet open.

"Creak!" The cabinet was pushed aside, and the ten people who were sitting around the round table all stood up and stared at the back of the cabinet.

"This is the answer I give you!" Male Detective No. 3 pointed to the large iron door covered by the cabinet, with a hint of disdain in his smile: "Can a mere safety door trap me?"

He dug out a rectangular piece of alloy from his pocket and stuffed it into the keyhole: "This alloy key can be called a master key. It is composed of more than 3,000 tiny alloy particles on the surface. It has excellent ductility and plasticity. Regular door locks can be opened.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a circlip came from the lock. Male detective No. 3 turned his head and looked at everyone: "It's that simple."

He didn't even pull out the key. He grabbed the door lock with one hand and just opened the door half a finger's width when something suddenly stuck out of the door.
