0029 Chapter 1: Confessions of the Dead (Section 23)
The silver-haired girl next to Epilens glanced at him slightly strangely, then looked away without comment, and finished her reasoning at a speed that was so fast that Zhen Cheng felt that it was completely perfunctory.
When Qu Yun stopped writing and was about to hand over the note, Navis, who had been pacing the hall as if thinking, happened to move to a place not far from her.
This woman also had a premonition that the clues she found were incomplete, but she neither gave up as easily as Epilens nor rushed to write the answer that she had already determined in her heart but was a little less confident at the moment.
After all, Anbis didn't mention that there was a time limit for the process of writing reasoning, and she was not in a hurry. Didn't the lady in Hanfu a few steps away spend more time observing them than writing?
"I carefully checked the photo in the center of the second floor of the hall. That thing should have been manipulated in the game. It lasted less than five minutes." Navis muttered to Qu Yun in a low voice, which was vaguely heard by Zhen Cheng.
Hearing this, she didn't do anything to hide it. She immediately raised her head and cast her eyes on the full-length portrait of the Baron in the middle of the wall on the second floor. Counting the time, Ms. Navis should have been tiptoeing through this semi-suspended corridor five minutes ago, preparing for a sneak attack.
Myself in the nursery.
Unexpectedly, this psychological detective who only knows how to detect human reactions also has such a careful observation of the background environment.
The faces of the old baron in the portrait and Mr. Epilens, who resigned and left, were 78% similar, which made people wonder whether they were of the same family. However, Zhen Cheng did not see any more clues, perhaps.
Weiss said it was because she had clipped her hair on the portrait or done some other manipulation beforehand, right?
No one else said anything, but it was Navis who saw the problem. The most reasonable guess is...it was not the details of the picture that changed, but someone moved the portrait?
One after another, everyone completed the filling in and the bodyguard of Scarry collected their answers. Looking at the five answers in his hand with satisfaction, Anbis smiled:
"Let's enter the final part of the game. The final answers of all participants have been locked. I will randomly select each person's answer and ask you to briefly describe your reasoning in order. After that, we will award prizes to the winners on the spot."
After that, he glanced at everyone's faces. The thoughtful Zhen Cheng, the confident Impas, the absent-minded Qu Yun, the hesitant Navis, and...the dying Hu Fabao
.
It seemed that he was not very satisfied with everyone's performance. He curled his lips slightly, took one last look at the direction Epilens left, and casually picked out an answer from everyone's answers and said: "Let's take a look.
The answer from... Miss Qu Yun. She wrote..."
At this point, Anbis was suddenly stunned. He stared at the words on the paper, looking like he couldn't believe what he saw.
After all, he is a high-ranking person, and it is rare for Anbis to be seen being so rude. The last time... well, the last time he was embarrassed was when he sent Zhen Cheng to the game venue a few hours ago...
Secretly cursing the detective industry in his heart, Anbis put his good mood together and looked up at Qu Yun and asked: "Are you sure this is your final answer?"
Qu Yun looked away, as if she didn't want to talk at all. Detective Impas on the side was amused and joked: "Do you want to continue the game? Can the answers that have been submitted still be changed?"
The organizer An Bisi took a deep look at Impas, took a deep breath and said: "Miss Qu Yun's answer is: everyone has completed their performance, and the final winner is Impas."
Everyone looked at each other, and Impas himself was so frightened that he almost tripped over himself.
This answer did not write down the historical truth deduced by the participating players as required by the organizer, but instead nominated a "winner".
"Miss Qu's answer does not comply with the rules of the game. Can I think that this means that you have decided to give up the right to win?" Anbis's hand holding Qu Yun's answer trembled slightly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and glared at Qu Yun.
"Obviously." The latter shrugged.
"Why?!"
Ms. Navis, who should have been grateful for the loss of a competitor, asked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Didn't he already read it out?" Qu Yun sighed and returned his caring and retarded eyes to Navis.
Anbis on the opposite side seemed to be hesitating, but in the end he changed another answer sheet and turned it to the top, and read: "The next one is...Mr. Impas's answer. His answer is..."
Anbis stopped reading again. Compared with the shock when he saw Qu Yun's answer last time, this time he seemed to be a little angry:
"His answer is: Historically, the gardener killed the eldest lady, and I completed the role. I won."
Regarding this answer, Qu Yun, who predicted Impas's victory, seemed to be unsurprised and looked indifferent. Navis frowned tightly and said hesitantly: "Mr. Impas, this is too brief a statement.
It may cause you to miss the final victory under the same circumstances."
The host Anbis interrupted her temptation: "The rules require you to fill in the historical truth and the actual game results in your speculations. Mr. Impas's answer has fully met all the requirements. Regarding the reasoning of these conclusions,
Mr. Impas, is there anything you would like to share with us?"
Impas flicked the brim of his hat and said enigmatically: "No comment."
Zhen Cheng secretly sighed... Who are these people?
According to the rumors in the industry, she felt more and more that Impas was in an abnormal state at this time. Whether it was the unprovoked malice towards her before or the perfunctory response to her answer just now.
You know, Impas is a great detective who is famous for his unrivaled powers of observation. If he is the kind of guy who is used to deliberately making his words ambiguous, then his reputation will probably be called "lucky" like Ms. Navis
, words like "coincidence".
As for "insight", it is definitely his ability to explain his ideas and judgments to others in large numbers and in a clear manner that will be recognized by others.
In other words, if Impas is not as obsessed as Epilens at this moment, then he must be deliberately pretending to be stupid to the game organizer.
What's his...intention?
"The next player's answer," Anbis's voice interrupted Zhen Cheng's thoughts: "It's Ms. Navis. It seems that her answer is very interesting... She thinks that murders in history have happened more than once.
.
And the result of the game in reality... Impas also completed the role."
