Alien Paradise.

Chapter 17 Kick the door group, let's go!

Snapped!
In the hut, Zhang Zhiyuan took photos of the murder scene on the table one by one, "The answer lies in the shape of these corpses."

"You don't have to be secretive, buddy, just say it." The American couldn't wait to say.

"It's the clock."

"clock?"

"That's right, the hands and feet of these victims were placed at corresponding angles, corresponding to the three hands of the clock. Because some angles are not easy to bend, or need to be overlapped, the bones are broken, so that The corpse looks very distorted and weird!" Zhang Zhiyuan explained, "It's not that the murderer has any special hobbies, but that this group of people is deliberately foretelling their own crimes!"

"When you put it that way, it seems to have a bit of a taste." Anthony Chekov looked at it for a while, "So this is a time reminder?"

"No, all the cases happened at night, and only at that time will there be few people in public places." He shook his head, "The pointers only represent numbers, and the combination of these numbers is the answer to the mystery."

"Wait, wait... We need to make sure first." Zhou Zhi interjected, "Is this game also using a 24-hour clock? If they use a different time clock, then these inferences will not be tenable at all."

"Are you stupid boy, this is a man-made game on Earth, can it be made in another time?" Joe James gave him a white look.

"But……"

"It's twelve hours on their clock here," Taylor said suddenly.

"How do you know?"

"Before I went to the street, I saw someone take out a pocket watch." He raised his fingers, as if trying to push the glasses, but there were no glasses on this body at all, "It's far away, I can't see very clearly, but there is a time A needle points exactly to the 6 o'clock position, which can basically match the dusk outside."

"How far?" the Russian asked curiously.

"About 35 feet, the guy was right in front of me."

"Hey!" Anthony clapped his hands, "If you go hunting, you will definitely be a good hand."

Taylor smiled slightly, "I don't really like taking pleasure in killing animals. Humans and nature should live on an equal footing."

The smile on Anthony's face disappeared instantly.

At 35 feet, Zhang Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback, it was ten meters away!How could this person capture such details at such a long distance?You know they didn't stare at them deliberately at the time.Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Taylor saw it very accurately. In fact, when I asked where the Jenny Church is, I asked about it by the way-of course, I asked What time is it now."

"So you already know the numbers indicated by those corpses?" Naruko Asahara asked puzzled, "Then why do we have to go to the scene in person?"

"Because we have to confirm the origin... or the starting point." Zhang Zhiyuan pointed to the photo in the side hall of the church, "We can't determine the direction just by looking at the photo. If we don't go to the scene, we won't be able to tell which is the hour hand and which is the The minute hand. Now I know that the origin is the head of the victim, pointing to the north uniformly, and the first thick limb to the left, whether it is a hand or a foot, represents the hour hand!"

"So that's how it is! I've been taught." Naruko said suddenly after looking at it for a while, "This trip really benefited me a lot."

"Using this photo to illustrate, the hour hand is 3, the minute is 35, and the total is 335." Zhang Zhiyuan picked up a case file and held it in front of everyone, "And the next case in Jeni Temple is The cafe on Maple Leaf North Street is located at 335!"

This is the answer to the forecast.

"However, Mr. Zhang, there is still an omission in your speculation." Taylor pondered for a moment, "What about the second hand? If the thick limbs that count clockwise are the hour hand, the minute, and the thinnest is the second, then it should also have a reading That's right, for example, in this photo, the second is around 40."

"The second hand does have a reading, but it has nothing to do with the address," Zhang Zhiyuan replied, "That's exactly what I'm going to say next. The second hand only depends on its position. For example, 40 seconds is around 8 on the dial, and the distance between the coffee shop and St. The interval between cases is exactly eight days! As for why they did this, because the address alone cannot determine the time when they committed the crime!"

"Wh--" Anthony whistled, "These guys are really bold, are they afraid that the police won't find them?"

There is no doubt that this is definitely a naked provocation to the safety of the people.

"Dude, how did you associate the clock with the photo?" Taylor seemed a little curious, "When most people see these bloody pictures, they are either too scared to look at them carefully, or they can't take their eyes off the details. How can you learn from the whole Going up to figure it out, there is something."

"I used to..." Zhang Zhiyuan almost blurted out that he had handled similar cases, but fortunately he stopped in the middle of the sentence, "I have read many detective and suspense works, and I have also downloaded many mystery case files from the Internet. It is a personal interest. Whenever the murderer wants to convey information, most of them will choose numbers as the carrier, and those that can be linked to numbers are nothing more than that... such as codes, clocks, and patterns. The most exaggerated ones I have seen are hidden in geometric figures Analyze the solution..."

"Okay, okay, those are not important." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but said, "Brother, just tell me, what is the location indicated in the latest case?"

"958, and the remaining time is two days from now."

"Two days?" Joe James yelled, "We have to stay here for two days to pass the customs? This is not possible, I have other plans for tomorrow!"

"That's what I want to ask too." Zhang Zhiyuan raised his voice, "Host, are you listening? You can always answer this kind of question, right?"

"Of course, I have been paying attention to you all the time." A figure slowly appeared in the air, it was Chaoyang, the guide of the park, "Please don't worry, this is just a game, I can adjust its running speed at any time .”

"Running speed... how to say?"

"When you are in normal activities, the feeling of time flow is consistent with reality, such as now." Chaoyang paused, "And after you enter dormancy, I can instantly make you jump two days later, as if—"

He reached out and snapped his fingers.

"--so."

Zhang Zhiyuan blinked. For a moment, he did feel blackness before his eyes, but it was only for a moment. Before he could even react, all perceptions returned to normal.

"Host, is it already..."

"That's right, two days later." Chaoyang replied, "The specific time is... 9:25 p.m. The time outside the game is still the second before you jump."

"Don't just dance, I still have a lot of preparations to do!" Zhang Zhiyuan stomped his feet, "Forget it, remember to let me know in advance when you will dance next time. Since it is already evening, we have to go first——"

"Ah! Why is one of my fingers missing!" the Yankee exclaimed suddenly.

Everyone looked at him together, only to see that he was holding up a palm that lost his middle finger and screaming in pain.

"This...is a small mistake, I'm sorry, I'll fix it right away." Chaoyang clapped his hands again, and Joe James' fingers had returned to their original state.

"What's going on here!?" He asked out of breath.

"It's just a program bug, we will fix it as soon as possible." Chaoyang explained.

"There is not much time, we have to hurry up!" Zhang Zhiyuan urged, "The time jumped too much, we still don't know which house 958 is..."

"Golden Street, Beicheng District, Sinclair Grand Theater." Chaoyang interrupted.

"..." Everyone couldn't help being taken aback, it was the first time the host gave a prompt like this.

"Let's just make up for the bug just now." Chaoyang's figure gradually faded away, "Let me remind you, it's already 10:11."

"It took an hour just now!?" Zhang Zhiyuan's face changed, "The murderer is probably already in place, we must act immediately!"

"I've been impatient for a long time, the Grand Theater, let's go!" Joe James rushed out of the hut first.

Seeing a group of people rushing into the night, Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief... I have to say that it is useful to have experts to do this, but he still made a huge oversight, that is, the problem of time continuity.The willingness required to create these bodies is calculated by the hour. In order not to lose money, it is impossible for him to keep these unconscious bodies for two full days. The most economical way is to eliminate them first and create another batch at that time.But this thing is not about squeezing mud. In essence, the body created before and after has nothing to do with it. He has tried his best to keep the two consistent, but the final result is still barely, and he even forgot a finger.

This means that he has already paid double the cost on body creation alone, not to mention there is one more person this time than last time.

Chaoyang shook his head and followed up——this is the end of the matter, I just hope that there will be as much feedback as possible when the time comes...
