"Holy shit, I was scared to death," Zhao Zichao finally regained his composure. Apparently, he didn't notice anything was wrong. He glanced at Lin Xi, who looked solemn, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"Look ahead," Lin Xi said softly, "the second floor is blocked, which means... we may have completely lost contact with the master."
"This..." Only then did Zhao Zichao realize that the first floor was completely isolated from the second floor. In other words, Jian Jian's original plan had been completely broken.
They are isolated and helpless.
While the flashlight still had some power, Lin Xi opened the outer letter paper as quickly as possible and took out the things wrapped inside:
A bunch of cross-shaped keys, and an old lighter with only half its oil left.
"Tsk, what should I do with Master?" Zhao Zichao was anxious, but at the same time unable to help, "He is alone over there. If we meet..."
"We can only let nature take its course." After Lin Xi took out two important items, he carefully smoothed out two crumpled pieces of letter paper.
The flashlight in her hand kept flashing, which was obviously a sign of low battery.
Zhao Zichao looked at the increasingly faint light and hurriedly took out the few candles he had just walked in the underground passage from his pocket. He took out one of them, put it against the port of the lighter, and instantly ignited it.
The candle suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. The color was abnormally bright. At least...it didn't look like the energy released by burning candles at all.
But the two of them could no longer care about this. After all, there were only twenty minutes left, and they still knew little about the main task of the script. They only knew that they wanted to solve the truth of a murder case.
They knew nothing about the number of suspects, the identity of the deceased, the environment at the scene, etc.
Zhao Zichao read the complicated content on the letter and suddenly asked for no reason: "Can't we help Master now?"
Lin Xi quickly turned over the letter and straightened the candle that was about to fall. She shook her head and replied: "Have you seen these clues? It was obvious that Master threw them to us before disappearing on the stairs. He has always been a hands-on person.
If a person has to hand over the investigation task to us, it means that he has encountered a bigger trouble. If he can't solve it, we can't solve it."
"Is there no other way?"
"It is the best way to get to the bottom of the main mission." Lin Xi said calmly, "This matter itself is not difficult."
She easily called up the main task of the script:
[Task 1: Find all participants in the murder]
[Task 2: Restore the entire process of the murder]
[Task 3: Find out the reason for the strange phenomenon in this villa (Completed? Player Jian Zizai)]
"Master has completed task three!" Zhao Zichao was quite surprised by this, "It's only been half an hour, right?"
"It's not the first day you met Master. How many people can surpass him in terms of efficiency and accuracy of analysis and reasoning?" Lin Xi was not surprised by this. "Even if he completed the entire script by himself just now, I
You won’t find it strange…”
"That's true..." Recalling the ordinary things, Zhao Zichao nodded silently. Since he usually got along with Jian Yi, he thought it was normal; now in the script, Jian Jian's terrifying abilities are more and more reflected.
After reading their own letters, the two exchanged the information in each other's hands and basically sorted out the current clues:
[Suspect: Ye Wuchen (father of the deceased Ye Nanan)]
[An unknown landowner (proposing marriage)]
[An unknown doctor]
[Son of Ye Wuchen (brother of the deceased Ye Nanan)]
At present, the purpose of the characters appearing is not too difficult to understand, and all that is needed to commit the crime is a motive.
Without a purpose, who would kill someone for no reason?
Ye Wuchen wanted to treat his son's illness.
The landlord seemed to have no motive. After all, it was a marriage proposal. It was impossible for him to come to the door with a knife in anger because he was rejected, right?
The doctor understands it better - making money, not shabby.
As for the last remaining son...according to what the letter said, he was probably still lying in bed and unconscious at this time, so naturally there was no possibility of taking action.
Although there are still several rooms that are sealed and inaccessible, it does not affect the normal progress of reasoning.
Since the deceased was placed under the dining table after death, and candles were placed around him, it seemed that some kind of ritual was being performed.
Such a big battle would be impossible without the permission of the owner of the house, Ye Wuchen.
But what could make him agree to kill his biological daughter?
The two of them read the exchanged letters tacitly, and although they didn't speak a word, they both had their own guesses.
The simple message left behind is indeed a great help to them.
"Sure enough, these clues are not enough..." Zhao Zichao rubbed the letter in his hand and muttered to himself. He turned to look at Lin Xi who was squatting on the ground tinkering with the iron box: "Don't try, I can't even open it.
of……"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Master just left us a key." Lin Xi inserted the key that he found from the wreckage into the slot of the tin box. After gently rotating it, a burst of sound came from the box.
There was a strange "squeaking" sound, and then it was opened.
"Damn, do you have to hit me in the face..." Zhao Zichao approached with a resentful look on his face, "By the way, why is there another piece of paper in this box?"
[Title: "My Confession"]
[Type: plot related]
[Quality: garbage]
[Note: The handwriting is blurred and the paper is yellowed. It should be an old item from decades ago]
[Can the script be brought out: No]
[Remarks: How many times have I said it, it is not "Mein Kampf"! This will not pass the review!]
[The text is as follows:]
[If you are reading this letter now, don’t hesitate, take it and run away! If you can’t escape, read what I wrote below. 】
Next, a line was left blank on the paper, as if a sentence had been abruptly erased, and the content went directly to the text with confusing handwriting.
This line of prompts indeed alerted the duo, but it was obvious that escaping was not part of their plan, because the mission had not yet been completed, and for the players, failure in the mission equaled death.
No matter how dangerous it is, they have to wait until the mission is over before they can leave, so this warning is basically meaningless to them.
"Judging from the handwriting, the author's mental state was no longer normal when he wrote these words." Lin Xi rubbed his sore eyes. "If there were no game notes, I wouldn't be able to see clearly what he was writing..."
"At that time, he might have been targeted by the evil thing in this villa, so it's understandable that he scribbled his words in a hurry." Zhao Zichao nodded, agreeing with Lin Xi's view.
