It's time, it's time to switch to the cranial doctor

"Remember, it's 202, this way." The detective nodded, turned and walked in front.

"But before that, go to his room first."

Zhou Zhuo took out the blood-stained room card in his hand, which was found on the boss, and the two of them used the room card to open Room 204. It was spotless inside, and there were still suits hanging on the coat rack at the door.

The two left after only one glance, without wasting time, because the owner left the room by himself, and the location where the other party died was at the door of 209, the answer was already on paper.

The detective is a smart person, and he understands that Zhou Zhuofei is not a murderer, but instead proves that he is a commoner in this way.

It’s just that this commoner’s self-defense method was too harsh. Not only did he kill the killer while losing his vision, but the scene was quite cruel, hammering the person into a piece of flesh, which would be unbearable for anyone else. metamorphosis.

Two people took the lead, and the remaining three followed slowly. The detective walked around the corner and stopped at the door of room 202: "He lives here... eh?"

The door was open, the lights were on, and there was no one there.

Then the beautiful woman came behind her, with tears in her eyes, she was about to cry, she pursed her lips and said softly, "Brother Hao temporarily changed rooms with me, I live in 201..."

Zhou Zhuo and the detective turned their heads at the same time, looking at 201.

"I'll go to Rabbit for a spare key," said the detective.

"No, no, I can do it myself, why bother the host who is busy with everything?"

Zhou Zhuo shook his head, picked up the skull-crushing hammer filled with small pieces of meat, came to the door lock of 201, and said with a smile, "Let me do this little thing, which is helpful to others."

Chapter 17 Site Investigation

Before Zhou Zhuo could make a move, the female star took out a room card with 201 printed on it.

"Use this to open it."

The two exchanged rooms, but did not exchange room cards?Zhou Zhuo memorized this little detail silently and didn't say much.

He opened the door with the room card given by the woman. The detective entered the room immediately and saw the corpse lying on the floor. The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a black suit was lying in a pool of blood, motionless, and the ground was full of blood. The messy footprints can be seen at a glance as leather shoes.

The detective leaned against the wall and walked towards the periphery of the pool of blood. Although he already had the answer in his heart, protecting the scene has become an instinct for this kind of professional.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Zhuo opened his backpack and put away the hammer, pretending to have nothing to do with him and watching with cold eyes.

Although the game has made a series of optimizations to the sensory system and physical strength control, after a series of combined punches just now, Zhou Zhuo still entered a state of fatigue. At this time, he can just rest and avoid suspicion by the way.

Seeing him put away the hammer, the people who followed him relaxed a little, and followed into the room to check the situation.

"The method is too rough, like an ignorant child who got the murder weapon, how could he kill like this."

Looking at the messy murder case, Zhou Zhuo shook his head, but no one paid attention to his performance at this time, and everyone's attention was on the dead body.

The pretty woman was the last to enter the room. After seeing the man's body, her expression went through a series of complex changes, first she was surprised, feared, then experienced a brief remorse, and finally rejoiced.

She concealed it very well, and even shed tears in just a few seconds, probably a professional actor, but the movement of patting her chest and the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed her true thoughts.

During the investigation, Zhou Zhuo was not idle, he glanced casually, and quickly judged the general situation based on experience.

"The deceased had a large number of sharp injuries, one on the abdomen, one on the chest, and seven on the fingertips and knuckles of both hands. The two cuts were the root cause of death, but not the direct cause of death. The real cause of death was blood loss and organ failure."

"There were no signs of fighting in the room, and the collapsed cabinet next to it was not caused by the fighting. This can be seen from the blood on the cabinet. The deceased tried to struggle to get up after being stabbed, and accidentally pulled the cabinet down."

"The wounds on the deceased's fingertips and knuckles were also not caused by resistance, but were cut open after he was stabbed in the abdomen and tried to pull out the blade with his bare hands. However, his blood loss was too fast and he failed to complete this action. The murderer again Realizing that a stab in the abdomen could not kill him completely, he quickly turned back and stabbed the deceased in the chest, as evidenced by these bloody footprints on the ground in opposite directions and with the same shape.”

"Combining the information from the previous room change, it is not difficult to infer the fact that the person the boss wanted to kill was you, but after entering the room, he found that he had mistaken the target. He should leave at this time, But why was this scapegoat killed?"

Zhou Zhuo raised his finger and waved it to his lips: "The answer is very simple. If there is no grievance between these two people that cannot be reconciled, then there is only one reason. His identity has been recognized."

"Failed to kill the opponent two times in a row, which also proved how nervous the murderer was. He ran away on the spot after the attack, and did not confirm whether the opponent was dead at all. This shows that the murderer is not good at killing, and decided to kill '201 on a temporary basis. Master of the room'."

Zhou Zhuo was not polite at all, and cast his eyes on the beautiful woman with teary eyes.

Looking at everyone's expressions with trembling eyes, Zhou Zhuo nodded in satisfaction after collecting information about those players.

"The identity of the murderer should not be disputed. The bloody footprints on the ground match the boss's shoes. There are also blood stains on the punctured door of Room 209, which means that the other party's blade was already covered with blood when he shot. All clues All can be matched. Unfortunately, he tried to kill the witness in the corridor, which is me, but unfortunately I killed him instead."

"As for the murder case in the room, I have two conjectures. First, the deceased was also a killer, and both parties had night vision. They recognized his identity at the beginning of the meeting, so in order to conceal his love for this woman Killing intent, do not stop, directly kill this witness."

"Second, he accidentally exposed some decisive identity information in surprise, and temporarily decided to kill people to complete the task. I wonder if there is any insider here who can provide more information?"

In fact, asking this question is the same as not asking, just remove yourself from the identity of the killer as much as possible.

Because the room is soundproof, the only one who can hear the movement is the killer moving outside the corridor, a fool would expose himself at this time for something indifferent.

A calm analysis made everyone present understand what happened in the room just now, and they all focused on the beautiful woman who should have died in 201.

"This is your friend?"

It was the bodyguard who spoke. He didn't care about the boss' death, and he didn't mean to hide it. To him, survival was the most important thing.

And this tone... He seems to know the identity of the beautiful woman, but the two parties have nothing to do with each other, only "knowing" this person.

The beautiful woman lowered her head and glanced at the dead body on the ground with lingering fear. She then withdrew her gaze and whispered, "Before we became famous, we were a couple. Later, we separated because of many things. Now we are just my manager."

A short introduction, I don’t want to say anything more, who knows that there must be a twists and turns in the story, and there may be some connection to being invited here, but it really has nothing to do with other people.

The detective who checked the scene roughly asked the bodyguard: "Who is that boss?"

Unlike big stars who are secretive, bodyguards can be said to know everything about the boss.

"The boss of Huasheng Group, whose business focuses on real estate and tourism development, is a well-known private entrepreneur often reported in the news. He is famous for his self-made business experience. In fact, he has done a lot of shady things, including murder and arson. It's slowly clearing up."

"Recently, it is moving towards the field of new energy vehicles. In fact, the group's internal financial deficit is serious, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy. The cronies who started from scratch in the early years have almost emptied the entire group's reserve funds."

Zhou Zhuo said casually: "That is to say, he came here to get Huasheng Group's capital chain restarted? This wish is big enough."

The detective nodded and said nothing more.

Their tacit attitude made Zhou Zhuo aware of some significant information. According to normal circumstances, the detective should ask about the relationship between the boss and the star at this time. The deceased was just an unlucky stand-in. As a killer, he really wanted to kill. is a star.

Of course, ordinary people can guess what unspeakable stories can happen between celebrities and big business owners. The answer is self-evident, but it would be too hasty not to ask.

Previously, the detective asked about the identity of the boss of the bodyguard, and after excluding a wrong option, it was not difficult to come to the conclusion that "the detective knows the secret of the star and the boss".

Normal people would skip it here, but who is Zhou Zhuo?He is an indomitable pervert!

So he stepped in front of the female star, and said without hesitation, "I need to know your relationship with the murderer. The reason why he killed you can determine many important clues, and whether you have informed the agent of your identity ?”

"We didn't tell each other our identities, we just exchanged rooms. As for the rest, it's personal privacy, and I don't want to tell you."

"Oh?" Zhou Zhuo had a playful expression on his face, "I'm even more interested when you say that."

"Did you know that the boss wanted to kill you, so you secretly exchanged rooms with this poor ex-boyfriend? From this point of view, you are also an accomplice of the murderer, so it's only natural that you don't want to disclose the information That's right."

The female star's complexion is ugly, and now she is forced to expose her ugliest side to other people's eyes, which makes her extremely embarrassing.

"Shut up! Don't think that you can clear up the suspicion by pretending to investigate. Whether you are a killer or not, at least you have killed someone, and you killed someone in front of everyone. I have nothing to say to a lunatic like you. ! Wait for the meeting to vote!"

Finally found a suitable emotional outburst point, the female star burst into tears instantly, turned and left, and returned to her room. Moved to something more important.

At this time, there is still half an hour before the trial meeting.

After he left, the detective took the initiative to speak: "Since she doesn't want to say it, let me say it. In fact, I am the detective hired by the agent to investigate the underground relationship between the female star and the boss. The investigation process is very complicated." Simple, there is a lot of evidence in the memory card on my body, and I found a very interesting thing in the middle—"

He raised the corner of his mouth, as if thinking of something happy.

"This female star is not satisfied with the money she can get from being adopted. She recorded a video of the two of them having sex, and used it to threaten the boss, trying to make him divorce his original wife, marry her, and sign an agreement on the equalization of property. .”

Oh... Now there is a motive for killing.

-------------------------------------

In fact, when I was writing the outline, I numbered the eight players, but I was afraid that everyone would forget who the number was when I wrote it with numbers. I hope you don't mind.

Chapter 18 The First Trial Meeting

The first time it got dark was just a small test of skill for Zhou Zhuo. After all, the murderer fell into a state of madness and tried to kill all the witnesses, but he also buried himself in it. The answer is too simple and there is no need to discuss it.

It can only be said that the boss is not as calm as he seems on the surface.

Compared to this, Zhou Zhuo cared more about whether the manager was a killer or not?

According to the gambler, he heard the movements of the two killers while hanging up in the corridor as a bait.

Regardless of the fact that someone can completely disappear in that extremely quiet environment, this means that the third killer is not in a hurry to do it on the first night, that is to say, this person should be in the room.

By accident, the boss who wanted to take advantage of the darkness to kill the female star accidentally met with the agent. The possibility of "making a voice" is extremely low, and it is difficult for even acquaintances to judge through an exclamation Zhou Zhuo is more inclined to another idea without revealing the identity of the other party.

The two killers who also have dark vision met in 201. The boss didn't want to reveal his killing intent on the female star. This clue may reverse the identity of his killer.

And the rules did not say that the killer could not use his companions as sacrifices. In order to avoid being executed by the god of death, he decided to kill his companions on the first night.

This also explains why he chose to retreat when he met the gambler at the beginning, but after he came out after killing the gambler, he wanted to chase and kill the gambler.

That's because he was worried that his infighting behavior would be targeted by another killer, so he went on and on and killed that killer by the way.

In this way, he is the only one left in some killer camps, and there is no need to consider whether the people who appear outside the corridor are civilians or killers, and the room for manipulation is much larger.

This logic obviously has a lot of loopholes, but considering the nervousness of the boss at that time, it is likely to be the true psychological portrayal of most people when they commit crimes with their own hands for the first time. To prove this point, Zhou Zhuo decided to do another simple experiment .

"Are you finished? Don't mind if I do some tests." Zhou Zhuo looked at the detective.

The detective frowned and hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"I just want to prove something. Everyone can watch. I won't do anything."

Zhou Zhuo's eyes swept across the faces of the remaining four people.

"No comments, then I'll start."

He squatted down, groped on the agent's body, and quickly found his wallet, and took out the room card of Room 203 from it.

"Please let me go."

Zhou Zhuo, covered in blood, left the crowd and took his room card to Room 201 opposite Room 202, which was the bodyguard's room. Zhou Zhuo had already asked his permission with his eyes...it should be like this.

He put the agent's room card on the door lock of 202, and then there was a beep, and the electronic door lock was opened.

"It seems that this game has become more interesting. Two killers died on the first night, which makes me look forward to the results of the trial meeting."

Zhou Zhuo originally wanted to take away this key card secretly while everyone was not paying attention, but the detective grabbed his wrist: "We should jointly decide the ownership of this room card."

"Alright then." Zhou Zhuo glanced at the clock on the wall, "There are still 20 minutes until the meeting, so let's put everything there and settle it."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhuo didn't care about the apprehensive or terrified eyes behind him, went downstairs on his own, and yelled at the front desk: "Reaper, come out to wash the floor."

He has already done everything that should be done, and the meeting tactics with the gambler have already been decided. The rest has nothing to do with him, as long as he performs normally in the trial meeting and waits for the next night.

The dirty rabbit doll crawled out from the counter, and replied angrily: "The corpse will disappear after dark, you treat me as a cleaner?"

"Disappeared?" Zhou Zhuo's curiosity suddenly became stronger, "Did it disappear, or was it taken away quietly? Is it related to those things that appeared in the woods?"

The Grim Reaper, who was still flipping through the hotel accounts, stopped his movements and took a deep look at Zhou Zhuo: "If you live, you will have a chance to know."

"Ok."

Zhou Zhuo shrugged, didn't care, and just sat down at a long table in the restaurant.The cowardly gambler didn't dare to stay upstairs for long, so he quickly followed. Ten minutes later, the remaining six players arrived.

"It's the time of the trial meeting. There are no rules. You can chat as long as you want. You can play freely. After a round of speeches, you will start voting. I will remind you before the lights are turned off."

Reaper seemed a little sleepy, and yawned as he spoke.

"One person speaks at a time, the time is 2 minutes, who will start?" the detective asked, "how about using dice to decide..."

"Don't be so troublesome, everyone has a chance anyway, just start with me."

The opponent is too simple, which makes Zhou Zhuo really not feel the pressure. The only thing he wants to do now is to quickly end the dungeon. To be honest, it is not exciting at all, and he is a little sleepy...

"Presumably everyone has seen the scene of my killing just now, so there is nothing to hide. I am a civilian, and I have the privilege of leaving the room when it is dark. I use myself as bait. The killer took the bait, so I killed it. That's it. I don't mind if you vote to overturn my status, but I don't recommend it."

Here Zhou Zhuo was careful not to reveal the identity of the gambler, after all there were only two commoners, if they were all exposed, the pressure on the prophet would increase.

The idea of ​​this game is very simple, just empathize.

If he was a killer, he would definitely give priority to killing these people with prophecy ability, to ensure his own chance of survival, and then deal with the butcher, who is difficult to deal with regardless of status.

"Two killers died on the first night, and there is nothing particularly suspicious so far, so my vote is for the butcher."

The other party made it clear that they wanted to target him. Hearing this sentence, the butcher's face was ugly, which indirectly confirmed Zhou Zhuo's idea: killing people is not allowed during the day and cannot be killed at night, so there is only incompetence and rage.

This also means that he does not have the privilege of killing people in the dark. The butcher must be an embarrassing character, a prophet?No, with this ability, this guy will probably kill himself regardless of the overall situation.

Then there is only one answer left——

The butcher is the sheriff.

In this unfair game where sheep can also kill wolves, the sheriff, who originally had the right to vote, that is, the right to speak, has become less important and has become an auxiliary position.

Reaper's malice is really serious... His thinking is no different from most online game planning, the balance is to weaken the strong.
