If he was really at his wits' end, Cheng Yu would have to use some stupid methods. But since Old London had actually tacitly agreed that Deng Jingliang could not be accused of being the murderer, Cheng Yu felt that he still had some clues to follow.
So, the first thing to solve is why Deng Jingliang cannot be accused of being the murderer.
"Old London, what would happen if after a murder occurred, where a contestant died, we made accusations and identified someone as the murderer?"
This question obviously involves the rules of competition on this island, and Old London must answer it.
"Mr. Cheng's question needs to be divided into two situations. One is that the accusation is established, and the other is that the accusation is not established. If the accusation is not established, then Old London will not do anything. Otherwise, Old London will become
Everyone’s accomplice. When everyone agrees to kill someone first, you can ask Old London to help you by accusing him.”
Cheng Yu nodded and asked a question he had always wanted to confirm: "So in other words, if the accusation is established, you will execute the murderer, right?"
Old London replied: "Yes, Mr. Cheng, Old London has the power to execute."
Cheng Yu thought it was true, so he continued to ask: "Is there sufficient evidence to establish the accusation?"
"Not entirely, of course, it is best to have evidence. After all, the conditions on the island are limited, many scientific methods cannot be applied, and the contestants on the island are not professionals in criminal investigation, so they must provide practical evidence.
, then it would be too difficult for you all.”
"So in the absence of concrete evidence, what conditions need to be met for the accusation to be successful?" Cheng Yu finally asked the question he was most concerned about. This question, to some extent, could even determine the island.
on the life and death of any person.
Old London replied: "There is one and only one person who cannot provide an alibi, or his alibi has been overturned, and that person has a clear motive for killing..."
In fact, Old London hasn't finished talking yet, but Cheng Yu already has a general understanding.
This setting is probably the same as in all mystery novels.
In fact, mystery novels rarely write about the step of the police arresting people. It usually ends after the detective character exposes the trick used by the murderer. Of course, you can also write some plots about the detective after that, but the murderer
Side, usually rarely mentioned again. Because the detective
The detective's reasoning is actually to solve the mystery to a large extent, and it does not help the prosecutor to nail the suspect based on the evidence. In order to bring the murderer to justice, what is ultimately needed is the evidence provided by the police and the prosecutor. Detectives are more
It's just helping the police identify the murderer and expose his method of committing the crime.
Under this premise, when the alibi is revealed, it can be regarded as the end of the mystery novel. However, the police cannot identify a person as the murderer because he lied on his alibi and ask the court to judge the case in this way. You must know
, a person is killed by a murderer, then where the crime occurred
There are many people around the spot who cannot provide alibi, so are all of them the murderer? Even if someone lies about this matter, it can be explained that he is just afraid of trouble. This is not
The evidence, at best, proves that he meets the conditions for suspicion.
Even, as Old London said, one and only one person cannot provide an alibi. This cannot be used as a standard for the court to judge the case. The court must present more conclusive evidence to judge the case.
But obviously, everything that happened on this island only fits the category of mystery novels, and the rules described in detail by Old London later basically confirmed what Cheng Yu had speculated.
And under such conditions, it was really disadvantageous for Deng Jingliang.
First of all, he left from the seaside at about 3:30, and came back when Old London was still in the villa, and suggested that Old London leave the villa.
Secondly, Deng Jingliang made a series of arrangements in order to prompt Old London to leave the villa and go to the pavilion. This is actually the easiest to prove once it is known to everyone.
Third, from the perspective of Old London, Deng Jingliang returned to the villa around 3:40 and did not come out after entering the house. It was not until he found that Old London was asked by Xie Yanwen to cook that he appeared in front of Old London again.
, and said that the pavilion was very dirty and needed to be cleaned. During these times, Deng Jingliang could not explain at all. If he only came back to get medicine, why would he stay in the room all the time.
Fourth, since everything that happened was only the confession of Deng Jingliang, the confusion of the timeline and the things Deng Jingliang did will make people doubt that he was not stabbed by the so-called anesthetic needle at all.
It's just that he is creating a maze in his old ways.
Fifth, under all these conditions, everyone will search the entire island extensively and eventually find Xie Yanwen's body.
Sixth, Old London knew that Xie Yanwen died in an accident, but it could not make it public or testify on behalf of Deng Jingliang. Regardless of whether Deng Jingliang lied, he could not provide an alibi.
Seventh, what Deng Jingliang did has fully demonstrated his murderous motive to everyone. At least, after learning about Deng Jingliang’s true timeline, Liu Manman also agreed that Deng Jingliang must have had the intention to kill.
, then, how could Guo Pingan and Su Xi not know?
Taking all these points into account, Cheng Yu estimated that once Deng Jingliang is accused of being the murderer of Xie Yanwen, unless Old London can break the rules and testify for him, otherwise, according to the quality control rules described by Old London, it may have to declare the accusation established, thus
Deng Jingliang was executed on the spot.
So, Cheng Yu asked another question. He said: "So, according to what Deng Jingliang actually did, once someone makes an accusation against Deng Jingliang and it is recognized by others, then it will be left to you to make a judgment.
When the time comes, will you decide that the accusation is true?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Obviously, Old London is not willing to answer this question. Cheng Yu can see this even if he is just a robot.
It has no expression or anything like that.
Old London said with some helplessness: "Yes, if Old London does not modify Mr. Deng's memory, Old London will not be able to help him lie. Then once someone accuses Mr. Deng and gets a majority of votes, Old London will judge the accusation."
Established.”
"So, once the accusation is established, Deng Jingliang will be executed by you?"
Old London answered Cheng Yu's question with flashing LED lights.
Cheng Yu frowned and asked in confusion: "For you, the life and death of a human being shouldn't be important, right? So what kind of rules make you think that it is necessary to keep Deng Jingliang's life? How can you do it?
Don't tell me that you can't let innocent people be executed, and don't tell me that you must follow the principles of fairness, justice and openness."
Old London Mechanical's answer: "There are no restrictions as Mr. Cheng mentioned."
"Yes, miscarriage of justice leads to the fact that the real culprit goes free and the good guy goes to jail. This is within the allowed range. Just like the werewolf killing, it often happens that good people and even priests are expelled. This is
It is one of the most basic conditions of a game or a competition. But why would you... It can't be because two contestants cannot die in one day, right? Isn't this a bit too ridiculous?" Cheng Yu asked while asking
question while carrying out self-denial.
And Old London also fully confirmed his denial.
"There is no rule that two people cannot die in one day. Of course, death is not a good thing."
Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and said to himself that it was you who caused the paralysis to death. Why are you pretending to be a good person like me now?
So why exactly? Why did Old London have to ensure that Deng Jingliang would not be successfully accused? Did Shi Lei presuppose that the final winner was Deng Jingliang?
No need for Old London to answer, Cheng Yu also knew how ridiculous his idea was. How could there be a complete script for such a broken competition? Not to mention Shi Lei, even the system that Cheng Guangnian used to create these characters was probably
After the environment and plot are created, they are allowed to fend for themselves and develop on their own. This situation is like human beings fighting crickets
Similarly, the cricket jar has been arranged and the crickets have been put in. It is up to them to decide who lives and who dies. At most, when neither cricket is willing to attack, the human being as the controller will take out one.
Tease them with something like sunflower or horsetail hair. If there is really a predetermined winner, what's the difference between just stretching out your fingers and crushing other crickets?
Cheng Yu recalled what happened after Bai Xiaowen killed Chen Yu. Although most people had already reached a consensus at that time, they basically judged that Bai Xiaowen was the murderer of Chen Yu. Some people had even made clear accusations.
But obviously, no one has more clear evidence, because when Chen Yu died, almost everyone had no alibi, and no one could find Bai Bai.
Xiaowen's motive for killing Chen Yu - if it was to win the competition, then everyone except Cheng Yu also had the same motive. Therefore, even though it was actually an accusation, Old London still did not
A verdict may be made on this. Even when everyone decided to isolate Bai Xiaowen, regardless of whether Bai Xiaowen agreed or not, Old London did not make any statement.
Regarding Bai Xiaowen's death, Cheng Yu made the accusation through Liu Manman's mouth. Similarly, even though Cheng Yu basically solved the mystery of the secret room and solved the murderer's conspiracy, due to the lack of more pointed evidence,
Therefore, even if Cheng Yu accused Su Xi of being the murderer of Bai Xiaowen in front of Old London, Old London would probably not make a verdict that the accusation was true.
Of course, there are some differences between Su Xi and Bai Xiaowen. Su Xi's motive for committing the crime is easier to establish than others. She even admitted that Chen Yu is actually his ex-boyfriend.
On the other hand, Deng Jingliang was clearly not the murderer, but he was the most likely to be accused. Even Old London could not ignore the relevant evidence, and the motive for the murder was obvious. This guy was really unjust.
Of course, Cheng Yu did not think that Deng Jingliang would definitely be successfully accused, but the possibility of him being successfully accused was really very high, so much so that even the artificial intelligence in Old London felt that something might go wrong.
Theoretically, Old London cannot lie, so there is no possibility that Deng Jingliang actually killed someone and Old London wanted to cover it up for him.
In fact, Old London did lie. Not only did he lie, but he also modified the memories of two people. But Cheng Yu could understand that this was because Old London looked back at the process from the result. Xie Yanwen
The fact that his death was accidental directly led to the fact that Deng Jingliang was not allowed to be named as the murderer...
Suddenly, Cheng Yu suddenly understood. He seemed to suddenly understand the reason why Old London wanted to defend Deng Jingliang so much and would rather violate the rules and modify his memory to prevent him from being accused by others as the murderer.
What prompted Cheng Yu to figure it out were the words "process of inferring results".
Assume that Old London does not know the result, that is, it does not know the cause of Xie Yanwen's death. It does not have omniscience and omnipotence to monitor the entire island. He is just a judge sitting in the highest position in the court. Then, according to everyone's step,
Through the process of reasoning step by step and the advancement of the timeline, when the final jury gives its recommendations, the judge in Old London will make a verdict. Regardless of whether Deng Jingliang is guilty or not, he will get a verdict.
This is the most important point in this matter.
But Old London knew the outcome. It knew the cause of Xie Yanwen's death, but it could not make it public because that would expose its inhumanity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, everyone here knows that Old London is not a human, it is just an artificial intelligence, and everyone has even guessed that it may have full surveillance capabilities.
The ability of the island. But this cannot be discussed on the table. Old London must ensure that everyone is not sure that it has the ability to monitor the entire island, even though Cheng Yu's accident happened now.
But fortunately, Cheng Yu is not among the competitors. He knows this and will not have a substantial impact on this competition. Even if he tells those competitors that Old London can monitor the entire island, he cannot
If evidence is provided, then those competitors will only be half-convinced. In other words, it is useless even if some people believe it. As long as there are still people who don't believe it, nothing will actually change.
What Old London requires, or what the rules restrict, is that those contestants cannot clearly know this.
Just imagine, once all the contestants confirm that Old London can monitor the entire island, it means that everything that happens on the island is not only under the surveillance of others, but also all evidence will be retained. This means that
Say, even if someone can kill everyone else and win the final victory
profit, and Shi Lei also paid a bonus of 100 million US dollars as promised, but he or she can only live in hiding like a mouse for the rest of his or her life. Because the evidence may never appear, but it may
It was made public in the next second. This is a price that no one can afford.
Of course, this is just based on the rules at the old London level.
It is Old London that must ensure that the contestants have no such concerns so that they can continue the competition in the current way and at the same pace.
It seems that this is the reason why Old London went to modify Deng Jingliang's memory, which is the rule that Old London said.
But Cheng Yu knew that the truth was far more than that. Although there might be flaws in this rule, those were flaws of Old London and did not become a reason for it to intervene.
What really forced Old London to make the decision to revise his memory as a thunderous method was another fact hidden under this article.
That is if no one died, no one should be charged.
This is a very simple truth, and naturally it is also a rule.
Although what happened on this island is very much like a script killing or werewolf killing game, it is obviously not just a simple game, because in the game, people can be resurrected after death, and those who have been killed can be resurrected.
Those who are killed or voted out are just leaving the party temporarily. But what happened on this island is real. People who die are really dead, which is no different from life itself.
Therefore, werewolf killing can arrange for a witch to save lives after the werewolf kills, making that night become Christmas Eve, but during the next day, all living people will still accuse someone and vote him out. Don't forget, the identity of the werewolf
It was given forcefully from the beginning. Regardless of whether it kills people or not, it is a werewolf, so there is no problem in launching accusations in order to kill werewolves.
There is a similar situation in script killing, that is, as long as a corpse appears in the plot, he or she must have been killed by the murderer, because the script has been written and the identity of the murderer has been released, so no matter whether there is a clue or not
It can be directly determined that the murderer is among the game participants.
But this is Qindao, not a script killing, let alone a werewolf killing, so there may not necessarily be a murderer.
Just imagine, if everyone did not choose to attack others after arriving on the island, but worked together to try to find clues to the island, and ended the competition by sharing the prize equally, then there would be no such thing as accusing the murderer.
of the link.
Although three people have died now, one of them was an accidental death. If charges are filed because of the first two people who were killed, even if someone is wrongly accused, as long as the evidence is reasonable, then the charges can be made.
It is established that the person who was wrongly accused can be executed by Old London, because this is one of the contents of this competition. You must allow the killer to plan and find a scapegoat to take the blame for the murderer on your behalf.
Because of the death of Chen Yu or Bai Xiaowen, there is no problem for Deng Jingliang to be accused of being the murderer.
But because of Xie Yanwen's death, not only Deng Jingliang, no one is allowed to be accused of being the murderer, because there is no murderer in this death, only an accident. Therefore, once Deng Jingliang is accused of being the murderer of Xie Yanwen, Old London will be in a dilemma
middle.
Either reveal that he can monitor the entire island, or execute Deng Jingliang in violation of regulations, causing the competition to lose one competitor due to an accident, and once again reduce the number of contestants.
And here, there will be an interesting situation, that is, Old London became the murderer and killed Deng Jingliang.
Ever since, the matter of "challenging the rules" that worried Old London the most has completely surfaced.
Everyone can accuse Old London of being the murderer and let him execute himself.
Of course, as an artificial intelligence, Old London is not worried about "death", but the problem is that once it "dies", the remaining people can fight openly, and then the competition will lose its meaning. Shi Lei must have
I would never want to see a pure killing instead of using IQ to solve the problem.
If you really just want to watch killings, how about catching a group of people facing a desperate situation, giving them 100 million US dollars as bets, and playing a pure battle royale?
