Day of Imprisonment

#27 - Puzzle elements in the scene

"That woman wasn't telling the truth!" Wu Rui said in a low voice. She didn't know if Luo Xi had noticed, but she decided to give him a heads-up.

They were at Liu Mao's house.

Room 712, very close to the home of Fan Yong and Song Yan.

Liu Mao and his wife were cutting fruit in the kitchen, and the children were told to stay in the inner bedroom. In the living room, only Wu Rui and Luo Xi were present.

Wu Rui looked at Luo Xi at this moment. Based on her understanding of this man, there was no way he wouldn't have noticed, but there was no harm in reminding him.

"Truth and lies mixed together, perhaps!" Luo Xi said noncommittally. His face was expressionless, like a sculpture. At this moment, he was carefully examining a bottle of medicine, even taking out two pills to smell them, then biting off a very small piece and chewing it in his mouth before spitting it out, his brow furrowed.

"Luo Xi, isn't that Brother Mao's stomach medicine? You just got it from Brother Mao, but didn't you say this medicine was a poison that turns people into cleaners?" Wu Rui was startled, afraid that Luo Xi would turn into a cleaner.

"Don't worry, this medicine isn't... Heh heh, I see, the administrator actually has this kind of ability, how interesting!" Luo Xi put the pills on the table, a rare smile appearing on his face.

Luo Xi nodded: "You're right in your judgment. There's indeed not much truth in her words, but I'll tell you, the reason people lie is nothing more than three reasons: one is to cover up mistakes, the second is for the sake of profit, and the third is to influence and mislead others. So, as long as you consider what kind of impact the question you ask will have on the questioner, then you can basically judge where and from what angle the other party might lie."

"..."

"Conversely, you can also draw the conclusion that people generally won't lie about certain questions, that is, those that don't involve personal mistakes, and at the same time, when the interests and demands are consistent... At least these two points must be met, and people generally won't lie. So what questions, from their perspective, are their interests consistent with ours?"

"I see, it's about the cleaners, because the cleaners are the enemies of all Memory Holders, so they won't lie about information about the cleaners."

Luo Xi nodded: "Of course, things are not absolute, but at least we can determine the identity, combat power, and the timing of each launch of the slaughter by the cleaners. On this point, their demands are all to get rid of the slaughter by the cleaners, so there is no need to lie..."

"According to this judgment standard, we can successively screen the information provided by the other party, which involves their interests, and which interests are inconsistent with ours... Basically, it can be used as a reference for prediction and decision-making..."

Suddenly, Luo Xi stopped talking and made a shushing gesture at the same time.

Wu Rui didn't know why, but she was very obedient, not daring to move, swallowing her saliva carefully, fearing to make a sound.

Through the door, she could vaguely hear the sound of someone closing the door in the hallway.

At this moment, the corners of Luo Xi's mouth turned up slightly.

"As expected, they took the bait!"

He immediately got up and leaned close to Wu Rui's ear: "I'm going out for a while. It's 9:27 now. By 10:00, if I haven't returned, go to 710 and kill Fan Yong. This will ensure you get a memory card; if I call you before then, don't answer, immediately use your [Hidden Place Behind the Door] to hide."

These words instantly made Wu Rui nervous.

"Luo Xi, where are you going?"

"Room 809!" Luo Xi walked to the back of the living room door, reached behind the shoe cabinet and took out a hammer, then grabbed a magazine from the table and wrapped the hammer in the magazine.

Seeing this, Wu Rui suspected that Luo Xi had lied before. He must have been to Liu Mao's house before, otherwise how would he know there was a hammer behind the shoe cabinet?

Walking to the door, Luo Xi remembered something and turned back and said: "Someone might knock on the door later, let them in. Remember, the person knocking on the door must be a Memory Holder. You need to find a way to convince them to join us. If they don't listen or have other bad ideas, then strike first and find a way to kill them... Of course, no one may come to knock on the door."

"Luo Xi, are you kidding me? Such a big thing, you're leaving me alone? And who will come? What should I say then?" Wu Rui was a little flustered. This matter was too sudden for her. This sudden burden weighed down on her, and she felt she couldn't bear it.

"It might be Wang Tao mentioned by Fan Yong and Song Yan before, or someone else. I'm not sure who it is now. As for how to win them over, you decide for yourself. If you want to kill Fan Yong, you can let them be your helpers," Luo Xi waved his hand.

Before leaving, Luo Xi saw a large paper bag on the shoe cabinet. He poured out the contents, picked it up and looked at the size, then tore two holes in the corresponding position, actually putting the paper bag over his head.

"Luo Xi, what are you doing?" Wu Rui didn't know why. She felt that the other party's behavior was very abnormal now.

At this moment, Luo Xi, wearing a paper bag, put on a dark coat belonging to Liu Mao on the coat rack at the door. At this moment, wearing a paper bag, wearing a large dark coat, and holding a hammer wrapped in a magazine, he looked murderous, no different from a perverted murderer in a movie.

"There's a fifth-grade math test paper on the table. I just asked Brother Mao's daughter for it. There are the answers I just wrote on the scratch paper next to it. You fill out the paper later," Luo Xi had already opened the door at this time.

Wu Rui was completely stunned.

When he entered the door just now, Luo Xi did greet Liu Mao's daughter, Liu Simiao, at the first time, and touched the other party's head, saying a lot of whispers, completely like a strange uncle.

Perhaps it was also because of this reason that the sister-in-law quickly asked the two children to go to the inner bedroom to do their homework.

As for the math test, Luo Xi asked Liu Simiao for it.

At first, Wu Rui thought that Luo Xi was using this method to create an environment where they could discuss the plan alone.

But now, it seems that Luo Xi has other purposes.

"But, why should I write a test paper for Brother Mao's daughter?" Wu Rui asked. She completely didn't understand the meaning of this matter.

"You'll know what's going on when you touch that paper," Luo Xi said, stepped out, and closed the door.

At this time, Brother Mao and his wife came out of the kitchen inside, carrying a plate of cut fruit.

"Hey, where's Luo Xi?" Brother Mao asked.

"He... he went out to do something and will be back in a while," Wu Rui could only cover up, and Liu Mao's wife was obviously a little stern, obviously Luo Xi's deliberate pulling of her daughter Liu Simiao to talk at the beginning made her, as a mother, feel uncomfortable, and she was very unhappy.

After all, the eleven-year-old fifth-grade girl was as tall as her. How could she hold her daughter's hand and ask questions when they met for the first time?

Didn't he know that there was a difference between men and women, and that one shouldn't accept things casually?

This colleague was not serious and was a rogue.

If it weren't for her husband's face, she would have lost her temper long ago.

Her attitude towards Wu Rui was also not good. At this time, Liu Mao's wife glared at Liu Mao and got up: "I'll go to the room to accompany the children to do their homework."

After speaking, she got up and went into the room.

Wu Rui was a little restless: "Brother Mao, I'm causing you trouble."

"Hey, don't say that, but Luo Xi's performance just now was indeed very strange... Also, those things he told me before, I still can't believe them now..."

Wu Rui echoed, and then she looked at the time, remembering what Luo Xi had told her before.

In her eyes, it didn't matter how others saw Luo Xi. What mattered was that Luo Xi was really powerful. She was able to get out of the company scene last time entirely because of Luo Xi. It can be said that she now trusted the other party very much.

Glancing at the test paper next to her, Wu Rui reached out and took it.

And the moment she touched the test paper, she was stunned.

Her expression was extremely wonderful.

"So... that's what's going on?"

The moment she touched the test paper, she saw several lines of illusory text appearing on the paper.

Wu Rui took a deep breath, thought for a while, and picked up a pen to start answering the questions, because Luo Xi had already written all the answers on the scratch paper next to her.

She still trusted Luo Xi more.

"Wu Rui, what are you doing? Why are you writing on the test paper... Hey, where's my phone?" Liu Mao touched his pocket, looking around blankly.
