No matter how suspicious Cheng Yu and Liu Manman are, they will never reveal Deng Jingliang's secret to the public at this moment. Even if they have an absolute advantage now, it will be of no use.
Since Old London actually helped Deng Jingliang to tell his lie for unknown reasons or under what rules, let's just let the mistake go as it is. After all, according to what Deng Jingliang said, it seems that Xie Yanwen just hid and did not die.
The best plan now is to focus on this first.
"The whole experience is like this. I don't know why you think there is something wrong with the time in my narrative. Brother Guo and Ms. Su, both of you actually said that I left at 3:30. This is really incredible.
Fortunately, I still have the witness of Old London..."
Guo Ping'an interrupted Deng Jingliang and said, "Mr. Deng, please don't say that. Ms. Su and I really thought it was around 3:30 when you left. The three of us arrived at the beach around 3:00.
Although we didn't look at the time when you left, it felt like only half an hour had passed, not an hour. After all,
After you left, we felt that it took a longer time than before before we saw Old London carrying the body of Miss Bai Xiaowen, and it took a few more minutes before we saw Mr. Cheng and Miss Manman coming from the other direction. At least, for us,
From our perspective, the time the three of us spent together at the beach was not longer than the time Ms. Su and I spent alone together after you left."
Deng Jingliang's eyes widened, looking extremely innocent. He said in disbelief: "Brother Guo, if you insist on saying that, I can't help it. However, Old London said that it didn't know about my return, although when I came back
I went straight into the house without seeing Old London, but I wanted to see Old London
The characteristic of London is that it doesn't know that someone has entered this villa, right? It is a robot, an artificial intelligence, unlike us humans when we are still negligent... I don't know why old London doesn't know that I'm back
At the exact time, is it possible that the robot will also take a nap?"
At this time, everyone could only remain silent. Guo Ping'an and Su Xi looked at each other. Their judgment of time made them believe their own feelings, but what Deng Jingliang said was also very reasonable. Although Old London's testimony could not prove the time of his return, it could
It is also impossible to prove that Guo Ping'an and Su Xi's perception of time is correct.
Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Manman secretly and thought, I told you before that your cousin is not simple. It is incredible enough that he can let Old London lie for him. His current performance level is absolutely unbelievable.
He was at the level of an actor, with a face full of innocence and disbelief. If we hadn't listened to Old London telling about the time when Deng Jingliang came back to work once before, they would probably have thought that Deng Jingliang was really wronged.
At this time, Old London's voice came from the kitchen, and it said: "Dear guests, Old London remembered that at 4:05, Old London No. 1 and No. 2 carried Bai Xiaowen's body down.
floor, and then left the villa. And at 4:07:3
After No. 3 and No. 4 handed the prepared meals to Mr. Xie Yanwen and saw him return to the house, No. 3 and No. 4 left the villa and went to clean the pavilion in the manor. If Mr. Deng was there after that
Old London will definitely have no way of knowing what it is that comes back."
Well……
Well, Old London, a guy with no lower limit, although he didn't lie this time, it undoubtedly confirmed for Deng Jingliang that the reason why he didn't know that Deng Jingliang had come back was because there was no Old London in the villa at that time.
At least, in terms of time, Old London's words and Deng Jingliang's words match up perfectly. As for Guo Ping'an and Su Xi's feelings about the speed of time, who cares about them?
Cheng Yu thought for a while, and he didn't actually represent himself when he raised questions about time. After all, Guo Ping'an and Su Xi would soon realize that, and when they realize that before raising questions, the lack of guarantees will directly lead to
Worse results.
That's why Cheng Yu said this in advance, and he appeared to be more impartial, allowing Guo Ping'an and Su Xi to have more trust in him.
Although the whole process was a bit unexpected in the end, it was actually more in line with Cheng Yu's interests - from Cheng Yu's point of view, he hoped that no more people would die, and he also hoped that he could use these changes to find out the hidden dangers on the island, and
Now, the fact that Old London actually helped Deng Jingliang lie may be closely related to this hidden problem.
So Cheng Yu hesitated and decided to help Deng Jingliang.
Even if he knew that what he was about to say might not completely dispel Guo and Su's suspicions, it could at least alleviate some of it to some extent.
"I once read a short popular science article. It seemed to be forwarded by someone in the circle of friends, or posted by a public account. It talked about human beings' misjudgment of the flow of time. How was that article specifically written?
I can't remember clearly, but I remember a few sentences very clearly. There, we have an idiom
It’s called days passing like years, but there’s also an idiom called fleeting. These are actually two misjudgments of time we have. The article also mentioned that we sometimes take a nap on the balcony or in a cafe.
, when I regained consciousness, I saw that more than an hour had passed, but I seemed to feel
It's just a few minutes. Of course the time is not wrong, it's just that our consciousness is biased and our memory is missing a period, so we feel that time flies by like lightning. In fact, this is the same thing as sleeping, when people fall asleep
There is no sense of time after that, but when we wake up the next day, our brains know clearly
We know that we were resting before, so the few hours missing in the memory will be recognized as sleep time. It is different when we take a nap or daze in a cafe. The brain does not receive any instructions, but we
The body caused the brain to experience such a blank period, so this situation occurred."
Listening to Cheng Yu's eloquent talk, Guo Ping'an looked at Su Xi and seemed to be moved. Indeed, everyone will have such an experience.
Su Xi nodded and said: "It makes sense. I have probably read the article mentioned by the great master, but I don't know if it was written by the same person. But the general content is similar. I also have a lot of thoughts about "The days are like years" and "A little while".
These two idioms "fleeting" are quite impressive. In addition to mentioning the case of taking a nap and being in a daze mentioned by the master,
Except for this, it has also been said that when we look forward to something very much and hope that it can be achieved quickly, that is, when we are looking forward to it, we often consciously feel that time passes extremely slowly. Turn left
Scroll right, it feels like a long time has passed, but when I pick up the phone and look at the time, it has only been two or three minutes."
Hearing this, Guo Ping'an snapped his fingers and echoed: "Yes, yes, it's like a person like me who doesn't like reading. When I was a child, I went to school. Although it only lasted ten minutes after class, I always felt that it was a long time.
Less than a minute passed, and the class started again just after class. But after the teacher walked into the classroom and started teaching, those forty-five minutes were as unbearable as a century. I often felt like I had fallen asleep. Why?
When I opened my eyes, the teacher was still on the podium, and only ten minutes had passed."
Cheng Yu nodded and said with a smile: "When the three of us stayed at the beach together, although we were waiting for something to be discovered, the atmosphere must have been relatively relaxed, especially with such a talkative person like Mr. Deng.
There will be no shortage of talking points..."
"Master, just tell me that I talk too much." Deng Jingliang added weakly.
"It is true that you talk more than the rest of us, but it does make people feel that your presence will make the time pass more relaxed and pleasant. And after Mr. Deng left, Brother Guo and Ms. Su must be relatively speechless. Both of them can
He's not a good talker, and besides, he's in his heart
I am looking forward to Mr. Deng coming back soon, so from the sense of the senses, the passage of time is much slower. Of course, this is just a guess, because I believe the testimony of Old London, so Mr. Deng returned to the villa later than Xie Yanwen returned to the room.
Time is also possible."
In fact, Cheng Yu knew very well that this explanation was just a forced explanation. Whether he believed it or not just depended on whether the other two people were willing to believe it.
Moreover, there is a very big loophole here, but Cheng Yu deliberately pretended that he was not aware of it and did not say it.
Liu Manman, however, suddenly said at this moment: "What you said is indeed possible, Master. I have also seen this article, and I also very much agree with the non-technical analysis in this article. But if Deng Jingliang did it after four o'clock,
After leaving Brother Guo and Ms. Su, the arrival time will indeed be later than the time Xie Yanwen returns to the house.
That is later than the time when everyone in Old London left the villa. But in this case, a new question will arise. Was Old London No. 1 and No. 2 carrying Bai Xiaowen's body to the beach from behind, while No. 3 and No. 4 were rushing to the pavilion?
We are preparing to clean up here, may I ask, which way should Deng Jingliang take so as not to encounter old London?"
In response to this, everyone fell silent again, but Deng Jingliang showed a clear conscience and said very confidently: "Although you are suspected of deliberately finding trouble with me, I have to admit that you are right.
Logically speaking, I should encounter Old London on my way back. But the problem is, I really didn’t see Old London on my way back.”
As he spoke, Deng Jingliang stood up and shouted toward the kitchen: "Old London, Old London... Why didn't you meet me when you were carrying Bai Xiaowen's body to the beach?"
Old London's voice came from the kitchen: "I met him, but Old London was in the bushes by the road at that time, so Mr. Deng shouldn't be able to see him."
"You just moved the corpse, why did you go to the woods?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Because when passing there, Old London smelled the aroma of truffles. After confirming it, he went in to pick up truffles. Now Old London is making truffle sauce. Everyone is in for a treat tonight. Truffles are a very rare and rare species.
What about rare ingredients that cannot be cultivated artificially?”
Well……
This reason is absolutely perfect.
Based on previous judgments, Cheng Yu learned that Qindao should be located at about 37-8 degrees north latitude in China's coastal waters, and the origin of truffles in China is mainly concentrated in the Jinsha River Basin, although in recent years they have also been found in the southeast and high mountains of Taiwan.
I have heard a few, but I have never heard of truffles being produced in places north of the Yangtze River.
In order to cover Deng Jingliang's lie, Old London really worked hard.
But after Old London said this, the other four people seemed to be convinced, as if truffles should be produced on islands at this latitude.
"Although I am lucky enough to taste the taste of truffles, I still hope to leave this island earlier." Su Xi seemed to completely believe what Old London said, and said with emotion, and then asked: "But Old London, then why did you just
Are you saying you don’t know about Mr. Deng’s return to the villa?”
"Because Old London did not see that Mr. Deng was returning to the villa. Except for Mr. Xie who was in the villa at that time, everyone else was in different places on the island. Old London had no way of judging that Mr. Deng's destination was the villa.
"
Okay, this makes sense.
Deng Jingliang looked at everyone, especially Liu Manman. If Cheng Yu hadn't known that this kid's acting skills were really epic, he would have been moved by the undisguised hatred for Liu Manman in his eyes at this moment.
cheat.
"Have you explained it clearly now? I am obviously a person who is under attack, but now I have to be interrogated by you here like a suspect. If I had known, I would not care about these nonsense. I would just stay at the beach and wait for the submarine.
many……"
"Ms. Su is the one who is allergic to ultraviolet rays. She could just go back to the villa by herself, but you insist on overstepping her limits. And something happened to you as soon as you came back. Don't blame everyone for having reservations about you." Liu Manman continued to speak sarcastically as she finished.
, she turned around, leaving a beautiful back view to those two hateful eyes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Manman swayed her waist, as if she could twist out a flower with every step, and said as she walked: "Old London, can you separate the four parts?"
Can you help me tidy up the room? The room is a bit messy."
Old London agreed, rolled out two quarters at the same time, chased the man and looked at the woman with an itchy look on her back, then went upstairs.
And Deng Jingliang seemed a little unable to sit still. After he snorted, he said: "It's unlucky for me to be questioned for so long while I'm dizzy. It's really a bad year..." After saying that, he also strode like lightning.
He walked towards the stairs and quickly disappeared on the second floor.
The remaining three people looked at each other for a few times, and it seemed that the doubts in their hearts had been relieved. However, Cheng Yu knew that it was impossible for Guo Ping'an and Su Xi to completely dispel their doubts, and they were only maintaining a superficial calm now.
That's all.
But this is not important. At least Cheng Yu basically understands that Guo Pingan and Su Xi will not have an alliance. This has been clearly revealed when Guo Pingan accidentally learned that Su Xi might be the murderer of Bai Xiaowen at the beach.
.
Maybe Guo Pingan will think that Su Xi killed Bai Xiaowen to avenge Chen Yu, which is excusable. Or maybe Guo Pingan will think that Su Xi is too hidden and cannot be trusted. But no matter what, there is a subtle connection between the two of them.
The gap is absolutely irreparable.
Guo Pingan will guard Su Xi, and Su Xi will guard everyone. In this way, no one will be killed by others so easily. This is what Cheng Yu is happy to see.
"Actually, I can understand Xiao Deng's psychology. He is afraid that if Ms. Su returns to the villa, and the two of us are left, I will be disadvantageous to him. After all, even if everyone believes that I am the murderer after his death, as long as there is no
The evidence cannot be used against me, and if he is dead, he is really dead. Leaving Ms. Su there actually leaves the danger to Ms. Su."
Guo Pingan's words made Cheng Yu and Su Xi slightly stunned. They did not expect that Deng Jingliang's abnormal behavior could be explained from this perspective.
Su Xi said in astonishment: "So, I should actually thank Brother Guo for not killing me?"
Guo Pingan waved his hand and said: "That is just a possibility. For me, I will not try to kill anyone, so there is no grace not to kill, and there is nothing in this world."
As for the kindness of not killing, how can we take it for granted that we should be grateful if we are not killed? Mr. Cheng, are you right?"
Cheng Yu was thinking about something and didn't pay much attention to Guo Pingan's words. Guo Pingan repeated it again before he came back to his senses: "Ah...yes, yes, there is no reason not to kill, even if it means execution."
A criminal is not something we as individual humans have the power to decide. Sorry, I was thinking about something just now..."
"What is the master still thinking about? Are you still doubting Deng Jingliang?" Su Xi asked Qingqing Qingqing.
Cheng Yu shook his head slightly and said: "That's not true. Now that the doubts about time are supported by Old London, basically there is nothing wrong with Deng Jingliang's words. As for the truth, we at least have to wait for Xie Yanwen to speak before we can judge.
.”
"I'm afraid he can no longer speak." Guo Ping'an said slowly.
"Even if it is a corpse, there will always be some clues. Just like the reason why I can tell that there may be some relationship between Chen Yu and Ms. Su is because I saw the clues from Bai Xiaowen's corpse." Guo Ping'an thought as he watched.
To find out more, Cheng Yu quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about this in detail now. After everything is over, if you are still interested, Brother Guo, I can tell you everything."
Guo Ping'an glanced at Su Xi beside him. Indeed, this was not a good time to understand this issue.
"It's me, Meng Lang. So what was Mr. Cheng thinking about just now?"
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just something I mentioned to you two when we were at the beach. I wanted to ask Old London if there is any diving equipment in the tool room, if there are underwater lighting tools, etc." As he spoke, Cheng Yu stood up.
, walked to the kitchen: "I might as well go directly and ask Old London. I don't think it's very busy."
