Reasoning Notes

Chapter 261 Reasoning Notes 6: The Criminologist Showdown (14)
"Poker?" This sensitive term immediately made the three of Mi Kaka nervous.

The horrible memory about the poker organization has not completely dissipated, and this time, poker and Reaper unexpectedly appeared again.Mikaka had long had an ominous premonition.All of this seemed to be a conspiracy secretly manipulated by someone.

"What's the matter with playing cards?" To Mikaka's question, the remaining four members of the tour group just looked at each other without answering.

"Look quickly. Am I not coming out?" Liu Jinsong pointed at the camera and changed the subject.

In the picture, he was walking out of the corridor with a dejected expression on his face.On the other side, Wang Haoyu, who was about to walk out of the corridor, was looking at Liu Jinsong's back, as if he was thinking about something, and then walked back.

There was a dead silence in the hall again.The picture seems to be frozen, and the light of the candle slides down silently.

"If I killed someone, how could it be possible that I didn't get a drop of blood on it? What's more, I didn't even use the murder weapon!" Liu Jinsong tried his best to defend himself.His explanation makes sense.

"Perhaps the real murderer is behind." Mikaka said, "Let's continue watching."

Then fast forward again.

After a while, Mikaka stopped again.

What did he find.

"Rewind! Rewind!" When Hu Yingying rewinded the screen to freeze, the people present gasped.

In the endless gloom, the figure that blended into the picture like black quietly appeared in the dim light of floating candles.

"Oh my god! Who is this?" Unknowingly, the air felt dry.

I saw the person who appeared in the camera, wearing weird linen, it walked in directly from the gate, with its head lowered, obviously unwilling to be seen by others.It walked to the front of the throne where the princess sat, stretched out both hands, and picked up a huge ax that was out of harmony with its thin body.

Immediately, he walked into the corridor leading to Tan Minghong's room.

Ghostly action.He is Reaper Rhyme.You can't go wrong.

After a while, there were faint screams in the corridor.It disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, those people watching the camera desperately licked their dry lips, from the abdominal cavity to the chest cavity were completely seized by a kind of horror that cannot be described in words.They saw that in the camera, when Lime, the god of death, came out again carrying the axe, the axe was already covered with blood.

He put the ax back in its place.Then he walked down the hall.But at that moment, he suddenly stopped.

The hearts of the people watching here seemed to have stopped beating at the same time.

He turned his head slowly and looked this way.

Still he couldn't be seen, for he deliberately covered his face with the linen.

"Hey hey!" He suddenly laughed.It was eerie, as if countless high-frequency and sharp buzzing strings were flying across the eardrums.

"He's looking here..." Xia Zao'an swallowed her saliva, as if Lime, the god of death, was watching her.

Others began to feel their teeth chattering.

Reaper Lime walked towards them in the picture.Getting closer and closer, the linen suit he was wearing continued to expand in the picture, and everything around him was squeezed out.He came forward.Immediately, the camera lens tilted ninety degrees downward.

All that can be photographed is the soil in the flowerpot.

Reaper Lime just disappeared from the screen.No one knows where he went afterwards.

Huh - after watching all the pictures.

The people's tight breathing was released heavily.

"Look, that ax!" Xia Zaoan pointed in the direction of the princess' throne.According to the last video of the camera, Reaper Lime put the ax back there.At this time, he was already covered with blood.

Everyone immediately gathered around.

"This must be the murder weapon."

"That's right, it looks like the cut of the knife matches the wound on Tan Minghong's body." Meng Jin, who has long been accustomed to murder cases, took out his handkerchief and tried to pick up the axe, so that his axe would not be left on the handle. Fingerprinted.did not expect--

He can't lift it.

"Huh?" Meng Jin was slightly surprised.The ax was surprisingly heavy.He tried again, this time with all the strength of both hands, but the ax remained motionless, firmly resting on its golden pedestal.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Mi Kaka noticed cold sweat oozing from Meng Jin's temples.

"This ax...is so heavy..." Meng Jin said awkwardly.

"It's useless! Let me do it!" Wang Haoyu pushed Meng Jin away when he said this, but he was also defeated immediately.

The ax lay there motionless, the bloodstains spreading on the blade seemed to laugh at these people with a smiley face.

"Hee hee!" Di Jia'an, who was standing behind these people, burst out laughing.Smile like a flower like a jade. "Ouch!" He waved his orchid finger, blinking his charming eyes. "My family is dying of laughter! If you people want to lift this axe, it will not be easy. You must know that this axe is a treasure bestowed by Marshal Shen from the emperor. It is extremely heavy. Back in the hall, eight strong men were required Only by working together can it be lifted. Hee hee, just because you want to pick it up alone? Dreaming!"

"Little Anzi! Don't be rude!" Shen Meng said coldly.

Di Jiaan hurriedly stepped aside humbly.

"Don't mind Xiao Anzi's nonsense." Shen Meng walked over and looked at them, her pupils shining like fireworks.She smiled slightly, pointed to the ax and explained: "This god ax belongs to my father. It is said that it was used by the ancient gods to open mountains and split rocks. If it is not for divine power, it is absolutely impossible to hold it."

"Really so powerful?" Everyone was speechless after hearing this.

"But why can Reaper Lime pick it up? Could it be...he is not human?" Xia Zao'an said this, looking around timidly like a turtle.

When she mentioned this, the faces of the people present immediately changed drastically.

That's right, since the two big men, Meng Jin and Wang Haoyu, couldn't move the ax a little bit, how did Reaper Lime pick it up?Moreover, it looks very comfortable to use.Where did he get his great power from?
in silence.

Suddenly, Huang Yuhan asked: "How did he come in from the outside? Isn't there someone guarding the outside?"

To enter this palace, there is only one door.

Hearing this, Shen Meng immediately summoned the guard at the door.

According to reports, they patrolled throughout the night and did not find any suspicious people entering or leaving the palace, and the gate was not even opened all night.

"But, must it be someone from outside?" Mi Kaka questioned this.

Judging from the footage captured by the camera, Reaper Lime did indeed enter the hall from the outside.But... Mikaka remembered the weird scene at the end of the picture - Reaper purposely tilted the camera before leaving.Its intention to do so, could it be...

His thoughts were interrupted immediately.

"Mikaka, you are saying that it was not done by outsiders. It was our people who hid outside in advance, and then came in at night to attack." Huang Yuhan analyzed seriously, starting from a slightly longer light-colored bang Cast a cautious and sharp gaze.

She obviously thought of Mikaka together.

"Although the screen shows that Reaper Lime came in from the outside. But when the camera was placed, it didn't capture everyone entering their room, so we don't know who didn't enter their room and sneaked outside to hide. Get up. There is such a big courtyard outside, enough for people to have a place to hide." She half-closed her eyes, speaking in a very plain, plain tone, as calm as a writer who is conceiving a mystery novel.

"Why did Reaper Lyme purposely distort the lens of the camera in the end? I guess his purpose of doing this is to prevent the camera from capturing the scene of his return to the room. Because if he does not distort the camera, then he cannot return to the room , but must spend the night outside, so that he will be found suspicious the next morning."

She is analytical.Even Mikaka had to admire this former classmate.No loss, he is an outstanding figure in the reasoning club.However, although the previous explanations are reasonable, there is still a mystery lying in front of him like a boulder.

That is, how Reaper Lime picked up the axe.Could it be that there is some mechanism here?
Mikaka carefully observed the structure of the axe.It should be made of fine steel, and the base it is placed on is just ordinary, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing special about it.But the camera does show Reaper Lime picking it up with ease and putting it back down.

What is going on here?
"I don't think it's safe to be in this palace," Mikaka said.He felt more and more that this was a trap.

"If Lime, the god of death, is one of us, it is very dangerous for us to be in the same room with the murderer. Why don't we get out of here." He suggested.

Huang Yuhan also agreed.But Shen Meng kindly reminded: "Although I will not prevent you from leaving this place, don't forget that there are still villagers outside. If you go out, I cannot guarantee your safety."

Others also objected.Wang Haoyu, Liu Jinsong, and Hu Yingying all refused to leave.

They know very well that once they leave, it means the game is over.

Today is July 7th.Only 27 days left until that one deadline.And they already know the numbers of the two playing cards.It is impossible for them to give up at this time.

"If you want to go, you go! Anyway, I want to stay here!"

"That's right, it's just one or two people dying, what's so scary? The more people die, the better!"

It was hard to believe that such cold-blooded words came from a self-proclaimed human being. Mikaka looked at them with indifferent and ugly faces, which suddenly made him feel sour and wanted to gag.

What's wrong with these people?He felt very strange.
