0109 Chapter 3: The Unbelievable Kidnapping Case (Section 19)
There was indeed a corpse inside the cabinet door, a very twisted corpse.
Its body was facing Zhen Cheng, and its head was rotated 180 degrees, but only thick hair could be seen. In the middle of its neck was the scalpel obtained from the arsenal.
Based on the fact that he was completely twisted but did not make any sound to alarm himself, Zhen Cheng judged that the knife perfectly cut the bone gap at the junction of the cervical vertebrae, which was so exquisite. But even if the face could not be seen, Zhen Cheng could just
Judging from his figure and clothing, there is no doubt that the deceased was a junior high school student.
"I didn't want to hide anything, I just didn't want to scare you. I noticed this guy sneakily opened your door with a key, so I followed him. Then I found out that he was indeed murderous towards you, so I took the first step to kill you.
Stronger,”
The red-haired lady behind him sighed and explained: "If I said that my kindness to you is just because you look like a very important person to me, would you believe it?"
Zhen Cheng did not answer, but looked directly at the body of the junior high school student and asked: "What if you need to kill me to escape from here? Will you still help me like this?"
"I believe there is no perfect way. You are so smart, you can always think of a way, right? If there is really no other way, we can continue to live in this secret space, right? Just the two of us, we will see you later.
Whoever enters here, we will attack him...
Yes, even if I can only escape by killing you, I will not kill you." As he said that, the red-haired girl seemed to have thought of something, and then she changed the topic and asked: "Did you...discover something?"
Uh...becoming a permanent resident of the hidden space...someone can really think of such a thing.
Zhen Cheng no longer knew where to start complaining, but the other party's optimistic temperament suited her quite well. And with the basic insight of a first-class detective, she believed that the other party was not lying, and finally decided that she could be honest and trust her.
So she covered her forehead and answered with a question: "Why would someone choose to attack me now?"
"What?" The red-haired girl didn't seem to respond to Zhen Cheng's question, and said confusedly: "Because you look the weakest?"
After taking a serious look at the other party, Zhen Cheng made up his mind and explained: "Think about the number of Class C rooms corresponding to the weapons depot, and think about the number of keys. The rules of this secret space may require us to kill each other.
Assuming that these people who are trapped together are hostile to you and have fighting strength comparable to yours, would you choose to kill the one who seems to be the weakest first?"
"No, I will challenge the one who seems to be the strongest..." Seeing the black lines on Zhen Cheng's face, the red-haired lady added: "Okay, according to a reasonable idea, it is normal for people to unite with people weaker than themselves to fight against the strong.
first choice.”
"That's right. If someone chooses to attack me alone at this moment, the most likely reason is that he has confirmed that I am the target he must kill, and it is even very likely that I am the only target."
As he spoke, Zhen Cheng frowned slightly and tapped his temple: "If you think about it further, it means that someone has already obtained the specific rules of the game before us, which is very disadvantageous..."
"The office has been opened?!" The red-haired girl finally caught up with Zhen Cheng's train of thought.
Zhen Cheng nodded and rushed out of the room.
What she said earlier in the living area was not a lie. She did personally try the master key at that time and it was unable to open the office and laboratory doors.
If the junior high school student really obtained the information in those places, it can only mean that opening the living area or his subsequent behavior led to the advancement of the rules of the secret space here.
This also means that more people are likely to get information before them. For them, it is dangerous information that is full of murderous intent.
After rushing out of the room, Zhen Cheng felt a chill in her heart. Because everyone was standing around outside the open door of the office, and inside... there was dancing firelight.
Rushing to the door of the office, you can see that the tables, chairs and file cabinets inside are all surrounded by raging fire, and there is no possibility of rescue.
Even if you use the fire extinguishing function on your special mobile phone, it will definitely be too late to rescue any paper documents after it is burned like this. In this case, it is better to leave the energy to the electric shock module, as it is more important to save your life at the critical moment.
The red-haired sister behind her narrowed her eyes dangerously, and what Zhen Cheng was thinking about was...why everyone was watching like this and no one tried to put out the fire.
You must know that it is impossible for a fire to burn like this within a minute or two, and it is unlikely that a first-class secret space will automatically burn clues before revealing information.
If someone sets a fire, the people present must compete with each other and even kill each other in order to escape. Zhen Cheng figured it out.
Someone discovered the truth in this room, and out of considerations of self-protection or convenience, set fire to block the same information before others discovered it.
But except for the firefighters who were busy looking for people who may not have the chance to take action, everyone else has more or less revealed some awareness of hiding the truth. They can wait calmly for the only source of intelligence to be destroyed without noticing at all.
?
You must know that except for Zhen Cheng himself who has personally tested that he can't open the door, there is no reason for others not to sleep in the room after getting out of everyone's sight.
It was precisely because he believed that the office could not be opened, and it was difficult for those guys to keep calm and not spend energy searching around after being alone, that Zhen Cheng deliberately arranged this rest time to wait for work.
"I'm sorry, I only discovered something strange here after I looked for you. It was already like this when I opened the door..." The firefighter seemed to have still not realized that this was man-made arson until now: "I only had time to grab this
I don’t know if it can be useful in solving the current situation.”
"The office has no windows or other vents... just close the door. This door should be enough to stop the spread of the fire." Zhen Cheng said, taking the document handed over by the firefighter.
The documents were written in random order like those on the bookshelf in the living area, and the content was so messy that it was impossible to guess what was being described.
This was expected. Rather than the document in her hand, she observed the people present more intentionally. Inadvertently or unintentionally, she caught a glimpse of the garbled code in Zhen Cheng's hand. Each of these guys looked dizzy and disgusted and subconsciously looked away.
However, except for the red-haired young lady behind him who looked a little angry, the rest of the people looked indifferent to the fact that key information was burned. This is very thought-provoking.
"Since there is no way to recover the clues here, the next step we may have is to try to find clues from the remaining rooms." Zhen Cheng tentatively said.
When you don't understand the rules and are desperate, the normal reaction should be to seize the opportunity and find a way out at all costs.
And if someone has learned the specific rules of the game before the fire, then from their position they will either be opposed to taking risks, or they will seize the opportunity to pass the risk to other competitors.
"This is a good idea. There is no other way anyway," the doctor said first. He was smiling broadly, without any eagerness at all. He seemed to feel that there was no need to hide anything:
"How about we ask the coach to open the door this time?"
