Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 229 Funeral (7) - Three Parties

 Are Zhou Xue and others really living people who were dragged in?

Due to Yu Xing's tone of voice being ordinary, Zhao Ruru didn't react for a while. He questioned whether the focus was on "bringing in" or "living people".

 Wait a minute, what if the person is neither pulled in nor a living person?

When she realized the meaning of this sentence, her teeth suddenly became sore. She felt scared for Yu Xing, and at the same time she felt sincere admiration for Yu Xing's calm demeanor.

“I told my experience in detail, and all the loopholes were clear.” Yu Xing looked at the obsessive-compulsive equilateral triangle, “First of all, there are two highest priority questions—”

"First, as a tourist, Zhou Xue, why can she bring food, water and medicine in when all our belongings and even the belongings of the first group of people in the coffin shop have disappeared?"

Zhao Ruru opened her mouth but didn't make a sound, because she didn't even notice such a big abnormality. If the seniors in the family knew about it, they would probably laugh at her.

"Second, we have all personally experienced the fighting power of paper men, and almost all of those people claim to have seen paper men, and some even have just crossed paths with paper men. There are examples of us being entangled by paper men and unable to escape. Do you think, ordinary What is the probability that passers-by will encounter the paper figures head-on and escape?”

 Zhao Yijiu listened very carefully, as if he was secretly learning Yu Xing's way of thinking. After hearing the words, he continued: "Zero."

"Well, absolutely zero." Zhao Ruru thought about what he said and said firmly, "Don't mention using a knife to chop up the paper people. The paper people can kill them instantly at the first sight."

"So?" Yu Xing was sitting still. Although he was discussing very serious matters, he rested his elbows on the stone table and supported his chin with his hands, which made the scene look much more relaxed.

"Well..." Zhao Ruru said, "That means Zhou Xue and those people are lying. They are ghosts. But I don't understand. Are they lying to you or saving you?"

  [I am confused, are those NPCs ghosts? ]

  [It makes sense, and when I think about it, it actually seems to be the case]

  [I have suspected it for a long time. Didn’t you read the obvious reminder to bring water and medicine? ]

 [Watching the live broadcast, having fun is the most important thing, too lazy to use my brain]

Yu Xing smiled: "Now we have to ask about their motives. You mentioned before in your analysis that the ghosts brought them in because their death could strengthen the power of ghost alleys and haunted houses. So now On the other hand, we can still ask, what can we, the real living people, provide them?”

Zhao Ruru thought about it for a while, but he didn't expect it.

Seeing that her face was sometimes deep, sometimes tangled, and finally relieved, Yu Xing chuckled: "Since the current conditions can't draw a conclusion, we will put this issue aside for now and continue the analysis. We don't know the motive, but we still know the identity. You can take a guess.”

He snapped his fingers lightly: "Among those people, only Zhou Xue stepped out of the coffin shop when he pulled me into the store. The others were huddled in the store with no intention of going out. They were very afraid of the paper figures. , dare not go out on the street, but dare to scold the paper man in the coffin shop. What are the characteristics and characteristics of this situation? "

"Store." This time it was Zhao Yijiao who answered the call. "It happens that the shop is the territory of the shopkeepers, so if they stay in the shop, the paper man cannot find them."

Zhao Ruru felt that what Zhao Yijiao said made sense: "Yes, the paper people only move around on the streets and do not go into stores to find people. Does that mean that the paper people and the shopkeepers are hostile forces, and the shopkeepers cannot defeat the paper people on the street?" People, but paper people can’t enter the realm of shopkeepers?”

"Yes, this is also my speculation." Yu Xing picked up a branch and played with it in his hand, "I just felt that their condition was not right at the time. They looked paler than normal people. In addition, in fact, the one at the beginning The old man has told me that there are only two or three people who are about the same age as me, that is you, but among that group of people, including Zhou Xue, there are at least three young people. "

“So I quickly moved away from them on the pretext of finding friends.”

 “Of course, this is an excuse, but also a true idea.”

  [It turns out that the hint was given at the beginning! ]

　　[I am a fan, I will definitely watch his live broadcast in the future]

 [It’s just so-so, there’s no need to brag like that]

Zhao Ruru said: "Ah, if you are the shop owner, they pulled you into the shop to avoid the paper man, and emphasized the importance of the end of the alley to you... Could it be that they hope that a living person like you will go to the shady house at the end of the alley to help them Solve the big trouble that threatens Liu Bingxian and the paper man?"

Yu Xing nodded: "It's possible."

"I understand. The shopkeepers, the paper man, and Liu Bing are in a hostile relationship with each other, so they are three forces. But in this case, I still have a question." Zhao Ruru asked, "Where is Zhou Xue?"

She found that Yu Xing was very good at guiding others to think. The ideas in her mind were subverted at first, and then became clearer and clearer. She naturally realized the part she had just ignored: "Zhou Xue is different from others. She was before we entered the deduction The last one to 'enter the ghost alley', according to what you said, their gratitude to Zhou Xue didn't seem to be fake at that time, and the most important thing is that she had been out of the coffin shop when she dragged you into the store."

Yeah, if they are all shop owners, why is Zhou Xue special?

Yu Xing almost blurted out the words "You are a teachable child", but he swallowed him alive halfway. He didn't want to look too crazy and had no respect for his "senior".

He coughed twice, no longer letting Zhao Ruru think step by step, and directly expressed his thoughts: "In the shopkeeper's mind, Zhou Xue should be an outsider like us. So when he praised her, the shopkeeper was sincere. cut."

“Her existence is the biggest problem among these three forces. Which party does she belong to?”

"Obviously, she didn't tell the truth when she faced the shopkeepers. She lied not only to me but also to the shopkeepers, so she was not the shopkeepers."

“There are two sides left, the Paper Man and Liu Bingxian. I prefer that she is from the Paper Man’s side.”

"Why?" Zhao Yijiu looked at him a little surprised. Of course, his surprise was not shown on his face at all, but Yu Xing could feel it by interrupting in the middle.

The barrage also wants to know.

Zhou Xue was hiding from the paper man together with the shopkeeper. Even if it was not the shopkeeper's side, it should be someone from Liu Bingxian's side. She also revealed in her words that she once wanted to go to the end of the alley to check. Doesn't this imply that ghost alleys are better than ghost alleys? , would she rather stay in the dark house?

 Before the barrage started to quarrel with support and rebuttal, Yu Xing had already continued.

"Because when I first met the paper man, it looked very stupid." A joke flashed in his eyes, "It is obviously so fast and can hide the sound of footsteps and breath. At that time, it emits so much malice and footsteps To whom?"

Zhao Ruru reacted immediately: "Let me tell you to make you realize that something is coming. At this time, Zhou Xue appears, and it is natural for her to interact with you. If Shang Gang is more online, she can be said to have saved your life!"

Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kind of behavior is familiar to the Zhao family.

 Sometimes in order to obtain information, they will also use this seemingly damaging trick, but this is already normal for the Zhao family, and no one will feel guilty about it.

"Hmm~ If the paper man and she are on the same side, then she went out of the store many times to 'explore the end of the alley' without being caught by the paper man. There is a very logical explanation, that is, the paper man does not need to be caught at all. She.    Yu Xing's words made Zhao Yijiu fall into silence. The innocent brother Jiu was really helpless. Why were even ghosts so thoughtful?

Let's all be sincere, why don't we just kill him?

 Why are humans, ghosts, and Yu Xing always doing things like this that damage brain cells? One routine after another.

Yu Xing said: "As for her purpose of intersecting with me, it is probably related to the main plot. I don't know if it is a coincidence. I remember that in the account book of the portrait frame shop, there was a person named Liu Xue who once worked in the portrait frame shop. Liu Bing first ordered a paper knife on credit after ordering the first portrait frame.”

　　[? ? ? ]

  [Details, this is the detail! ]

  [Details monster, I serve]

"Liu Xue and Liu Bingxian are both surnamed Liu, and Zhou Xue and Liu Xue both have snow in their names?" Zhao Ruru was shocked, "Let me make a bold guess, could Zhou Xue be Liu Xue, and Liu Bingxian's...daughter? Eh, wait a minute. !”

 She poked at Zhao Yijiu: "Did that abacus ghost say that he has a daughter? Damn it, could the abacus ghost be Liu Bingxian!"

Zhao Yijiu paused. He originally thought that it couldn't be such a coincidence, but after thinking about it carefully, the clues provided by the deduction could not be useless, and the Abacus Ghost was indeed the only ghost they found in the haunted house that they could communicate with.

In this way, things seem complicated, but in fact there is a direction that can be explored, which is in line with the usual style of deduction games.

With so many thoughts in mind, Zhao Yijiu’s reply to Zhao Ruru was still: “Yeah.”

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. What do they mean, they have already seen Liu Bingxian in this house?

  Or a ghost that can communicate, rather than a murderous corpse that has lost its mind?

Zhao Ruru's guess was actually his idea, but he hadn't thought about why Liu Xue changed her name to Zhou Xue and why the shopkeepers couldn't recognize her.

If Zhou Xue is really Liu Bingxian's daughter, what is the reason that makes father and daughter turn against each other?

The task at this stage is obviously the "funeral" part in the live broadcast trailer, followed closely by the "marriage" part. Putting these two words together, it is easy for people to think of a superstitious and bad habit in feudal society.

 Could it be that…

 He stopped guessing at the right time. There was insufficient information and there were many possibilities. If the mind was fixed in advance, it would not be conducive to subsequent reasoning.

Having finished what he wanted to say, Yu Xing concluded: "In short, what we can analyze now is the three parties in this street and this house, and we also have some understanding of the key figures in the main line. I must emphasize one point , even if the forces are clear, we cannot clearly favor one side until the full truth is revealed. "

"In this kind of game where the three parties are hostile, it is a very unwise choice to rashly join one party." Yu Xing lost all the strength in his hand, and the branch he had been playing with on his fingertips snapped. He shook his hand and said innocently , "Especially the shopkeepers. Among the three parties, the shopkeepers are as fragile as this branch, and they are the best force to bully."

  Zhao Ruru: “Fortunately, this is not my fortune-telling tool...”

If someone else said that ghost forces are easy to bully, I'm afraid they would be scolded by the audience for being pretentious. However, after holding back the barrage for a while, I found that this is really the case. Fortunately, the handling so far has been very good, and the reasoning and analysis are even more rigid. The main thread is found among seemingly unrelated clues.

 It’s okay if you don’t accept it.

Yu Xing twirled his fingers and wiped off the ashes on the branches: "It's your turn next. What is going on in this house?"

Zhao Ruru organized the language. She felt that Yu Xing’s description method was very effective. Putting the clues here in a completely straightforward manner can enable the listener to discover the problem from a more comprehensive perspective.

After a long while, she said: "Lengjiu and I were not together when we woke up. Let me start with myself. At the beginning of the deduction, I was unconscious in the woodshed of this haunted house. Before I could get out, I heard someone crying. approaching sounds."

"I didn't know if it was an NPC or if I saw a ghost when I came up, so I hid behind the stacked firewood and vaguely saw a figure in white clothes opening the door and walking in. He had been crying in mourning and left with a bundle of very thin firewood. During this period, he also walked around the woodshed, which shocked me, and I managed to avoid being discovered..."

While Zhao Ruru was narrating her experience, the audience also began to listen to the story and excitedly count the progress.

 [I didn’t react just now, now I want to kneel down to the boss]

  [Are you kneeling to the newcomer? Is it promising enough to make newcomers laugh? ]

　　[Upstairs in the poisonous bar, where does the sense of superiority come from? The absurd world is that whoever is awesome is the boss, it doesn’t matter whether you are new or old]

 [That is, a newbie is so strong after one month of promotion, but you are still a novice after one year of promotion]

  [I’m serious, when they were analyzing the information just now, Yukuma seemed like a teacher leading students]

I suspect that Xing is a secret weapon cultivated by the Zhao family. Otherwise, how could Zhao Ruru take him as the leader? ]

As soon as this was said, there were many voices of agreement.

The Zhao family is a very scientific and intellectual group. They are generally not very skilled, but they are shrewd and tactful.

If Xing was a person trained by the Zhao family, it would not be incomprehensible for a newly promoted newcomer to be able to adapt to the intensity of differentiation-level deductions so quickly and reason with ease.

However, Zhao Mou, who was originally staying in Zhao Yiju's live broadcast room and was so speechless just now that Zou Jin was itchy, stood up directly at this moment and denied such remarks.

  [Zhao Mou: Although Xing has a good relationship with me, he is not from our family. If you make such wild guesses, it will cause trouble for him, haha]

 Of course he hopes more than anyone here that Yu Xing really belongs to the Zhao family, even his branch. Therefore, he has more need to stand up and refute the rumors.

Not to mention that Yu Xing's real "trainer" Qu Nianqing is still here to watch. Even if Yu Xing has no backer, his own ability is enough to attract Zhao Mou's attention.

 When dealing with smart people, one thing you need to pay attention to is not to cross the line.

Taking the label of the Zhao family on Yu Xing without authorization can indeed block many forces from trying to rob people, but it will definitely make Yu Xing feel uncomfortable.

 If you want to truly maintain a good relationship and then take it to the next level, you must take it slow.

Zhao Mou’s light-hearted denial made the discussion on the barrage even more heated. Some people began to ask whether Lengjiu’s so good skills were from the Zhao family, but Zhao Mou did not reply.

 [Progress report, Luo Liang's group has reunited and is dealing with the paper man]

[Jue is really awesome. She persuaded Zhou Xue to move. When she went to the end of the alley with her, the paper man came out and only attacked Zhou Xue. Now Zhou Xue was chased by the paper man and disappeared. Jue entered the house without pain]

  [She was not even found by the portrait frame shop! On the way, Zhouxue revealed to her some things she had found out about Boss Liu]

[I go? Can it still be like this? Does this confirm Xing's speculation that Zhou Xue and the paper man were together? Because Jue had gained enough favorability points, Zhou Xue pretended to lure the paper man away and let Jue in? ]

  [Fuck]

[But in this way, Jue’s team lacks the clue of Zhou Xue and Liu Xue, which will definitely have an impact later]

 [Taking shortcuts always leads to greater risks, aren’t we all used to the alienation line]

 [The group of diamonds is about to join together successfully, the attack power of the diamonds is really strong]

[Same as above for Xu Yaoyao, she has a great advantage. She used the corpse sacrifice to block her companions in the ghost alley a few times. It is estimated that her companions will be able to enter the ghost house soon]

  [What are the remaining four groups doing? Fell asleep? ]

 [The four groups of people are still at the portrait frame shop and have not come out]

　　[I came from there, and halfway through I wanted to see where the other groups were, but ended up not going back hahahaha]

  [+1, this group is fun, and their analysis speed is something I never expected. I checked their eyes, but fortunately I met someone who must hold my thigh in the future deduction]
