Reasoning Notes

Chapter 255 Reasoning Notes 6: The Criminologist Showdown (8)
This is almost an impossible task.

Another question is, why would "that person" do this?
What is his purpose?

Mikaka couldn't figure it out, but he felt that things were far from simple.The tour group has gradually fallen into unknown danger.

There is no way.Those who had been traversed had to decide to go back to the ancient city again.However, not a few steps away.They found that one person was missing.

"Tan Minghong is gone!"

"Didn't she follow Hu Yingying just now?"

"I didn't notice, I've been holding the camera, okay?"

"Damn it! This woman does this every time, is she trying to implicate us!"

Just as the group members were yelling at each other, Tan Minghong appeared again.

She came over from there, and resumed that nervous demeanor.She hugged her tightly without saying a word, lowered her head and hurriedly walked past the group members.

Everyone saw that she was holding the wooden box in her arms.

It was the box she had been taken by a stray dog ​​before.

It's back again.how so?
Strange doubts hung over his head, and the words he wanted to say were hidden deep in his throat.They walked silently towards the gate of the city wall.

Wang Haoyu, who was walking in the middle, lowered his haggard eyebrows, as if he was thinking.He touched the inside of his shirt.

A small piece, boxy, hard to the touch.

Fortunately it is still there.It would be a shame to lose it.No, even if it is seen by others, it will defeat the big event.Wang Haoyu subconsciously clutched his pockets tightly.

He quietly looked at the people in front and behind.Now it's troublesome.He thought that Wu Jiahong was missing from the tour group.Can the game continue without one person?After all, this game must be completed by six people.He suddenly thought, Wu Jiahong wouldn't be absent on purpose, and wait for the fisherman to benefit?It would be despicable to do so!

"Hey, Wang Haoyu, what are you thinking! Hurry up!"

Liu Jinsong, who was following behind, urged in a voice containing displeasure.Wang Haoyu didn't bother to talk to him.Upstarts are the most disgusting.Thinking of Liu Jinsong's respectful and smiling appearance when he asked him five years ago, Wang Haoyu felt disgusted.He can see through the warmth and coldness of human relationships in the world.

"Damn it, dawdle!" Liu Jinsong walked in front of Wang Haoyu with dirty words.

As they passed by, the two glanced at each other.

Liu Jinsong covered his trouser pockets, and Wang Haoyu tightly covered his pockets.

They all immediately understood that the token of the other party was placed there.

That token is a playing card.

Wang Haoyu received 5 hearts.And the other five playing cards fall into the hands of the other five people respectively.

The cards they own must not be known to others.

This is the unwritten rule of that game.

Quarter Four That's right, the game's on
The gate of the city is in sight.

The majestic soldiers stood guard on both sides, and the common people who entered and exited the city gate shuttled in and out.On the side of the city gate, there was a reward notice posted. It may be that the amount of the reward was too attractive, and many people gathered there to discuss it.

As they passed by, Xia Zao'an and his group stopped immediately when they heard the word Reaper Lyme from the crowd.

"Oh, I heard that a dead body was found last night! The scene was scary!"

"Is this really the case? I would like to hear the details!"

"The cause of the incident has to start with the watchman. The watchman lives next door to my house. At midnight last night, he passed by an alley in the western suburbs, and suddenly heard a gloomy laughter. A strange man, dressed in coarse cloth and holding a sharp knife, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. How could the watcher be able to bear such fright, his legs trembled in fright. Fortunately, the strange man didn't want to take his life, so he left alone. The watchman came back to his senses and walked When I entered the alley, I saw a dead body. The deceased was dressed in strange clothes, not from the Western Regions. On the wall at the scene, there were some bloody writings."

"What is it written?" The surrounding crowd who listened engrossedly asked one after another.

The person surrounded in the middle uttered those words with some panic: "Murderer, Lime the God of Death!"

"Reaper Rhyme? Who is that?"

The person next to him was obviously unfamiliar with the term Reaper Lyme.In ancient times, there was no such thing as the god of death, and common people generally only talked about bull-headed horse face and Yama, and Western terms like Lime were even rarer.So, it's no wonder that people feel weird about the character of Reaper Rhyme.

"I don't know either!" The person who spoke shook his head.But he immediately said again: "According to Dageng, he saw a scar on the man's wrist."

The scar on the wrist... The strange image of a strange person slowly crawled through the minds of everyone in the tour group.

Before the crossing, on the way down the mountain, the strange man he met was also wearing heavy linen. His distinctive feature was that there was also an impressive scar on his wrist.

Could it be... This terrible idea stayed in everyone's heart, and no one said it. It slowly melted away like a slug sprinkled with salt.

The ancients under the reward notice are still chatting with one another.The conversation turned to the relics of the dead.

"It is reported that a strange piece of paper appeared on the body of the deceased."

"What's that?"

"I don't know about this either. Oh, the official messenger is here!"

Halfway through the speech, the people surrounded by the reward notice stepped aside one after another.Xia Zao'an and the others were also pushed to the back. They saw a few police officers approaching and posted a new reward notice.

One of the arresters said loudly to the people at the scene: "Last night, a murderer named Reaper Lime appeared. This person not only killed one person in this city, but also killed a family of thirteen in Lijia Village outside the city! The princess has an order to offer a reward of 1 taels for catching this villain!"

1 taels, which is ten times higher than that of Jiang Yang's bandit in the previous reward announcement.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Wow! If you can get this 1 taels, it will be enough for the rest of your life!"

The person next to him immediately sneered and said, "That's wrong. I'm afraid you will die to enjoy the blessings. Reaper Lime has killed 14 people in a row. I will avoid it when I see it. Why should I die myself?" It can be seen that when Reaper Lime appeared, This caused panic in the hearts of the people here.

Xia Zao'an stood on tiptoe and looked at the reward notice.

1 taels is enough to attract her!She calculated shrewdly in her heart, if she could not return to the 21st century, it would be good for her to stay in ancient times and be a little rich woman!With 1 taels, she can buy many servants to serve her!Wa hahaha!Thinking of this, she smirked again, with an idiot-like face, and the saliva flowed to the corner of her mouth.

"Huh?" Hu Yingying, who was standing beside her, was also looking at the reward notice, and suddenly had a slight question.However, what attracted Hu Yingying's attention was not the 1 taels, but a pattern on the notice.

The notice said that this was the pattern on the piece of paper left on the body of the deceased.

The ancients could not understand this strange picture.But Huang Yuhan recognized it.That's exactly what playing cards are.The board is a 6 of diamonds.

The first poker card has been revealed.

Hu Yingying turned her head in a complicated mood, and found that several other group members were also looking at the reward notice.They showed joy on their faces, but they hid it and didn't show it.These people knew in their hearts that the person who was killed by Reaper Lime last night must be Wu Jiahong who was absent without accident.

And his cards have been exposed.

For others, what they have to do now is to find out other people's cards by all means.At the same time, don't let your own cards be exposed.

"Oh...so that's the case..." Hu Yingying seemed to have noticed something, and seemed to be slightly... extremely imperceptibly relieved.

Wu Jiahong's death shows that the game has already begun.

That is to say, this time travel is also part of the game.is artificial.Someone must be running this behind the scenes.

But she couldn't figure out how that person managed to time travel.

Hu Yingying re-observed the surrounding environment.Undoubtedly, this is the location of the ancient city of kapok, but everything in the city is almost completely different from the old city when we came here. The only common landscape is the kapok mountain that has undergone thousands of years of changes. The peak has a famous landscape - kapok Aria.

How could it be like this?
Hu Yingying brought up the film she had taken before, and carefully compared the Kapok City before and after crossing, but she was still at a loss.In any case, the man behind the scenes was too clever.Although Hu Yingying was a little worried, but for the [-] million bonus, she couldn't care less.

She can't lose.Moreover, looking at the expressions of other people, they seemed to have realized that this time travel was fake.

That's right, the game has started.

The so-called crossing is only part of the game.

Tan Minghong probably was the first among these people to discover the fake time travel.It all stemmed from her disappearance just now.Originally following everyone to find the highway, she was so tired that she sat down at the end of the walk. Suddenly, she noticed a familiar black figure passing by the grass not far away.

A black tail swung toward her showing off.Then the black head with its tongue sticking out was revealed.

Isn't it the black dog that took her wooden box?
How could it be here?

Tan Minghong couldn't care less, seeing the black dog still had the wooden box in its mouth, she stood up abruptly.The fatigue of the body disappeared immediately.She picked up a few stones on the ground and chased after the black dog.Behind her, those group members were still unaware and drifted away.

The chase between man and dog is intensely staged in the wilderness.

"Damn! Dead dog! Stop!" Tan Minghong yelled angrily. The black dog was running so fast that she couldn't catch up.The rugged mountain road almost sprained her ankle.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Even so, she still chased desperately.She must not let that wooden box get lost from her face again.

It contained her keepsake.
