Chapter 13 The Truth

"You already have the answer?"

The host was surprised.

He was surprised because the incomplete information made it impossible to construct a complete reasoning. But Jiang Qian said that he had come to a conclusion.

The three beautiful suspects who took off their silent headsets also stared at Jiang Qian in disbelief.

The audience was even more excited and shouted to reveal the truth...

"Impossible, impossible..."

The host shook his head and muttered:

"Broken corridor surveillance, stolen spare keys, no witnesses, no alibi, forgive me for being blunt, each of them has the conditions to commit the crime... How did you identify the murderer?"

"They told me." Jiang Qian smiled and looked at the three women.

The three exchanged glances, and Li Tianer was the first to be curious: "What did we tell you?"

"First of all, you told me that Liu Xiao could not be the murderer."

As soon as Jiang Qian finished speaking, the faces of the three women were suddenly wonderful.

Especially Liu Xiao himself, who showed an ambiguous expression of half-smile at this time: "Why not me?"

"It's very simple, the method of elimination."

Jiang Qian continued: "We have to start with the process of the crime. Ahem... As the 'dead' in this case, I am extremely sensitive to the 'door opening sound' before closing my eyes. This made me think that the murderer broke in from outside and committed the murder. But it is not the case."

"During the communication with Li Tianer and Yu Xuan, some details made me think that the murderer might have been hiding in room 8001 from the beginning, and most likely in the bathroom. So the 'door opening sound' I heard was not from the entrance door, but the noise made by the murderer when he came out of the bathroom."

"When I entered 8001 that night, I remember that the bathroom door was closed, and when Yu Xuan found my body, he washed his hands. The door of the bathroom was open again. During this period, who came to this room? And for what purpose did they open the bathroom door? The answer is obvious, it can only be the murderer. "

"It seems that when I came out of Liu Xiao's room, the murderer was already in 8001. From this, it can be inferred that Liu Xiao cannot be the murderer. "

Yu Xuan raised an objection: "What if Liu Xiao deliberately wanted to mislead?"

"You mean, she came in after I fainted and committed the crime? And during the crime, she saw the closed bathroom door, and she had an idea and deliberately opened the bathroom door, creating the illusion that the murderer was hiding in the house? Well, although it is far-fetched, it cannot be denied that there is such a possibility. "

Jiang Qian analyzed patiently: "But even so, Liu Xiao is still ruled out. This is what Li Tianer told me. "

"Why me?" Li Tianer looked at Jiang Qian innocently.

Jiang Qian looked shrewd: "Because you told me that after hearing the quarrel, you paid special attention to the movements of both sides. But after that, I didn't hear any suspicious noises for a long time until Yu Xuan found the body."

"Isn't this telling me that after Liu Xiao slammed the door, she stayed in her own room and never left?"

"Based on the rule that only the murderer can lie among the three of you, if Liu Xiao is the murderer, Li Tianer's words must be true, and Li Tianer's testimony indirectly proves that Liu Xiao is not the murderer. This logic is a paradox; if Li Tianer is the murderer, then Liu Xiao's words must be true."

"In summary, Liu Xiao must not be the murderer."

If the information is incomplete, then use the copy rules to build your own information screening mechanism and "take a shortcut" to get to the truth.

At the end, Jiang Qian added lightly: "This logic is much simpler than high school mathematics."

The audience was silent.

Jiang Qian was not conducting a conventional search for evidence and handling a case. Instead, he was using given rules to integrate the known and infer the unknown, just like doing math problems.

Yu Xuan smiled and broke the silence: "So you think the murderer is between me and Li Tianer?"

"It's not that I think, it's that I'm sure."

"So what's the conclusion?" Yu Xuan held his chin, rested his white arms on the table, and looked at Jiang Qian with a smile, "Is the murderer me or Li Tianer?"

"Hehe, in my opinion, both of you have sufficient conditions to commit the crime, and it's really hard to tell. But in the end, there was another reason for me to make the decision."

At this point, Yu Xuan, Li Tianer, and Liu Xiao all pricked up their ears and listened attentively to Jiang Qian's final word.

"Do you still remember that insignificant little question?" Jiang Qian smiled.

When he questioned Li Tianer, Liu Xiao, and Yu Xuan individually, he asked the same question at the end: Without considering the basis, who do you think is most likely to harm me?

When faced with this question, the three people's answers can be described as "each has its own merits"!

While letting Jiang Qian see how fragile the plastic sisters are, it also brought an "unexpected surprise".

"So, who is it, tell me?"

Li Tian'er's face flushed with excitement, and the smile on the corner of her mouth exaggeratedly stretched behind her ears.

"Don't sell the lawsuit, tell me quickly~ handsome boy!"

Liu Xiao couldn't hold back the restraint of the tights, and looked like he was ready to untie the restraint and return to nature at any time.

Only Yu Xuan remained elegant, looking at her brother affectionately.

"Remember? Sister..." Jiang Qian imitated Yu Xuan's words just now and repeated, "She loves you but cannot get you, and will definitely want to destroy you."

The eyes of the whole audience were focused on the siblings.

"Why, what's wrong with this?" Yu Xuan remained calm.

"There's nothing wrong with the words. Liu Xiao has an extreme personality. She does look like the kind of woman who hates because of love and is extremely destructive." Jiang Qian interpreted calmly.

"But the problem is the logic, sister, how do you know that Liu Xiao 'loves but cannot get' me?"

Hearing this, Yu Xuan's upturned mouth corners froze slightly.

"Liu Xiao and I met after sister left. I rejected her in Liu Xiao's room and was kicked out of the room. How did you know about this? Could it be that you were nearby when it happened?"

The questions were thrown one after another, and the whole audience was shocked.

Only Yu Xuan's expression became more gloomy.

Jiang Qian also confirmed his answer from this, that she is the real daughter, that's right.

Taking advantage of my trust in Yu Xuan, he hid his evil trump card.

Unfortunately, he failed.

Jiang Qian glanced at his "self" who was exposed on the stage, and said expressionlessly: "At this moment, in order to match the plot, should I ask my sister, what kind of mentality do you have to do such an unjust act?"

"..."

Yu Xuan lowered her head and did not answer.

The scene was awkward for a while.

The audience in the audience was so surprised that they forgot to cheer.

It seemed that no one expected that the game would end so cleanly, as if there was no difficulty at all!

"Student Jiang, you know our rules. Once the answer is wrong, maybe... your head will move. Do you want to think about it again?"

"No need."

Jiang Qian's expression was calmer than anyone else.

He directly ignored the host's "warm reminder" and looked at Yu Xuan: "The one who killed me is you, sister."

[Hint: Do you confirm the answer?]

Jiang Qian was about to speak.

At that moment, the gorgeous lights went out, and the grand and luxurious stage was twisted and torn apart in an instant. The audience, who were originally full of life, were now exposed, and became students, office workers, upper-class people, scavengers, and zombies...

These people were the "mummies" that Jiang Qian saw in the renovated corridor.

Including the host!

At this time, he was transformed into a sanctimonious male corpse, struggling to crawl under the stage and escape.

And Li Tianer, Yu Xuan, and Liu Xiao, who were still on the stage, also showed their original forms at this time!

As Jiang Qian had speculated beforehand, these three skins were wrapped in the "seven emotions" of the happy woman, the true love woman, and the lustful woman.

Li Tianer's "entity" had wings, and the frequency of the wings was like jumping notes. Her body also flashed and disappeared quickly with the vibration frequency.

The "entity" of the lustful woman was easier to deconstruct. In simple terms, it was a naked woman whose lower limbs degenerated into a fish tail.

As for the True Love Girl, her "entity" is quite like a big tree with deep roots!

The moment she appeared, whether it was due to the anger of being exposed or the indignation of Jiang Qian's attitude, the roots of the big tree shot up from the ground, instantly wrapped around Jiang Qian and hung him in the air!

"You are very arrogant, brother?" A loving voice came from the monster that looked like a big tree.

The whole body was instantly swept by severe pain. Jiang Qian clenched his teeth and shouted his conclusion to the copy before being torn apart:

"But my sister attempted murder! The body is fake, I am not dead, and there is no real "murderer" in this absurd hearing..."

As soon as these words were spoken, time seemed to freeze.

The roots of the big tree that were attacking Jiang Qian stopped moving. The True Love Girl, the Happy Girl, and the Lustful Girl were stunned. The students, office workers, upper-class people, and scavengers who looked like zombies under the stage were also stunned and froze in place.

"How did you..."

At this time, the true love daughter, who looked completely different from his sister, asked in a trembling voice.

"How did I know?"

Jiang Qian was hanging halfway upside down in the air, but his expression showed no embarrassment of being controlled by others. He was still thinking clearly:

"In fact, from the moment I saw the body, I had anticipated this result."

"Because I know very well that stabbing three inches below the left shoulder will not pierce the heart. You can see that the knife was not stabbed deep enough. It was only 20 minutes from the time I left the elevator to the time I was found dead. If the knife was not pulled out of the body, it should not cause such exaggerated bleeding."

After experiencing the stimulation of being "judged", Jiang Qian paid special attention to such details. In addition to the knowledge of anatomy involved in his personal interests, it was not difficult for him to see through the flaws of the body.

"Don't believe it easily, right? Then the host's words should also be questioned."

Jiang Qian smiled:

"Of course, if you must attribute it to the 'error caused by stage makeup', I have no way to do it."

As a trialer, he has told all the truth he can infer: according to the rules of this game, he tried every means to infer the murderer according to the preset conditions, and for the sake of insurance, he pointed out the flaws of the crime scene.

The happy girl, the lustful girl, and the true love girl were speechless.

Then, Jiang Qian finally heard the answer judgment:

[Judgment result: The answer... is completely correct! ]

Then, just like the ending of the script killing, the copy gave the story line of this level:

[Plot choice: Unethical love]

[Plot summary: As a superstar sister, she has a deep love for her half-brother. This kind of love is secretive and magnificent, and it extremely rejects all foreign "invaders". The simple brother has not noticed it yet, but he has encountered an accident. ]

[……]

[Tonight, the sister brought her brother to a party in the circle, and young and beautiful bodies came one after another. Seeing her brother dealing with different beautiful girls, being affectionate everywhere, and being at ease, the sister was angry. ]

[She was depressed, her mind full of scenes of her brother playing happily with others, and these distracting thoughts made her miss an important role. ]

[She hurriedly said goodbye to the director, and on the way back, her brother happened to walk towards someone else's boudoir. Disappointed, she returned to the room with a gloomy look, locked herself in the bathroom and cried, and made a decision to never let her brother be taken away. And death will create eternity. ]

[In a flash, the butcher knife in her hand was pointed at her brother. ]

[But she immediately realized that her brother had never lost his virginity, everything was just her conjecture! In extreme collapse, she fell into a real demon and killed for "love" from then on. ]

What kind of weird values ​​is this? I really would... Jiang Qian complained bitterly.

If he had chosen to accept the invitation of the happy girl or the lustful girl, then the "cause of death" would have been arranged differently?

Choosing the sister represents an unethical love... Will the ending of choosing Li Tian'er be extreme happiness and sorrow? Then what about choosing Liu Xiao? It's probably because of excessive indulgence, right?

Vulgar...

Refund the ticket for me! !

Jiang Qian roared silently.

However, the plot ushered in a reversal in the second half:

[Fortunately, the younger brother was not killed by the knife, he is still alive. ]

[The medical staff who arrived in time gave him emergency treatment, and the younger brother's injuries were under control. In the end, he recovered in the hospital. And this assassination attempt was left unresolved for various reasons. ]

[Everything returned to normal, and the recovered younger brother still lived happily with his sister. ]

[However, every time the younger brother saw his sister's gentle face, he always felt an invisible pull between the two of them, like countless roots growing and entangled between the two of them...]

...

Still finishing off the knife... Jiang Qian's breath sank into his dantian, and his roar came from the bottom of his heart:

"Refund the ticket!!!"

The next second, the severe pain of being entangled and suspended by the roots of the tree dissipated, and his body returned to the ground.

The surrounding lights came on, and Jiang Qian was surprised to find that he was already in the corridor of the video room.

A nearly beautiful reminder sounded beside my ears:

[Main quest update: Arrive at the "Abyss Video Hall" and complete your exclusive movie-watching quest (7/7)]

[Judgment: Main quest completed! ]

[Judgment: "Whisper of the Heart Devil" dungeon cleared successfully! ]

[Expected to be sent back after "settlement", do you want to enter the settlement? ]
