0030 Chapter 1: Confessions of the Dead (Section 24)
Things are getting interesting.
The answers of the three detectives all pointed to the same person. One was as baffled as a prophet, one was as confident as a mess, and one...the answers he filled in were very different from what he showed.
When she saw Navis questioning Qu Yun, Zhen Cheng originally thought she could not accept Qu Yun's choice to judge Impas for completing the role. But now seeing her own choice, she seemed to be shocked only by Qu Yun's abstention.
This happened.
Qu Yun's writing was obviously deliberate. No one present could be stupid enough to make the mistake of writing "complete the role" as "win the game", even this white-haired girl who is the most unknown among them all.
.
If you judge that others have completed the role, it is very likely that you have also completed the role. In this case, you can win through more detailed reasoning. But if you directly write that others "win", it is equivalent to direct surrender, which will make people a little suspicious of you.
Why did you come to participate in the game?
"There are just a few people, and it's not a live variety show, how can they be so pretentious?" Navis rolled her eyes with her owl-like big yellow eyes: "I wrote Impas and completed the performance, but at the same time I also
Did you write someone else’s name?”
Anbis smiled and shrugged at an empty place somewhere in the void, like a real variety show host who was enlivening the atmosphere. Then he acknowledged with a smile:
"Yes. Except for Mr. Impas, do you think Miss Qu Yun and yourself have equally performed the role. If possible, I am very much looking forward to hearing a serious reasoning answer."
"As you wish," Navis nodded, but his interest was quite low. As if winning or losing had nothing to do with him, he glanced at Qu Yun and said:
"First of all, I experienced a... very unpleasant reminder in the servant's room. I think most of you must have had a similar experience not long ago, like a dream while awake, um... extraordinary
experience,”
Zhen Cheng nodded. She never thought that the game prompts would be exclusive to her. Although the rules never seemed very fair, it was obviously impossible for Scarry to bring so many outstanding brains together without purpose.
“There I got a tip about the ‘detective’. So I ran to the detective’s parlor and heard the ‘maid’s’ confession on the tape.
So far, although there are many other possibilities, such as the recording being faked, or the maid volunteering to take the blame, etc. But based on the instinctive performance at the moment when I first met Miss Zhen before she could react, I believe that she at least had the instinct
They suspect that I am a killer."
Since he could no longer change his answer, Zhen Cheng shrugged and admitted frankly: "When I first met you, I happened to have just been killed by a maid in the lucid dream you mentioned, so there is no problem with your observation.
.But why did you also include Quyun and Impas?"
"That's because they told me themselves," Navis blinked his big yellow eyes and smiled at Zhen Cheng: "You know, I'm better at guessing human performance and motivations than evidence that can't lie.
.In my eyes, the movements of those two people were saying, "I have finished my role."
Mr. Impas's appearance in reality is far different from what I previously understood and subjectively imagined, but one thing remains the same, and that is his absolute certainty in his own judgment.
When a person says 'I won', he will show considerable confidence in most cases. But if such a claim is always confirmed, it will never be possible for him to make accurate judgments as he says.
It might be luck, but it can only be that his careful thinking beyond my imagination has eliminated all other possibilities and reached a reasonable conclusion.
For such a person, so sure of his victory, I can only understand that he has indeed completed his role in a place that I did not see. And this certainty cannot be the same as the killer's confession I heard.
There may be clues to various flaws.
In addition, don't you seem very curious about why I was so surprised by Miss Qu Yun's attention? This is because the smile at the corner of her mouth is between fifteen and thirty degrees, and she walks no more than one point and three steps per second... She
Every detail of her behavior expresses that she has completed her performance.
It's not about giving up the prize, but it's about waiting for the results with peace of mind after completing the plan.
Finally, as for Mr. Huvabao and Mr. Epilens, it is a pity that I did not have time to find them. As for the dead and the mentally abnormal people who are not pretending, I can only regretfully admit that they are indeed my nemesis.
So the only thing left is to make a guess. Mr. Epilens entered the field second, and there may have been a problem as early as the beginning of the game, and Hu Vabao, who entered the field after me, seemed to be very fast.
They were killed by the former. I bet they didn't have time to complete the role, no matter what their characters had done in history.
So you see, all three people completed the role correctly, but how could one victim be killed three times?"
The host, Mr. Anbis, showed great enthusiasm for this topic. He spread his hands in an exaggerated gesture and asked, "I'm also curious, how did you solve this paradox?"
"The answer lies in the nursery," Navis's big yellow eyes swayed with deep brilliance: "The Baron a hundred years ago had more than one child. Both the photos and the multiple supplies of the children in the nursery can prove it.
at this point.
For some reason, I think some occult ritual necessity or curse, the Baron's children were killed by the gardener, the pianist, and the maid.
Considering the entire process and rules of the game, I think there is a high probability that the detective and the baron himself have also taken action in history, but poor Huvabao and Mr. Epilens failed to complete their roles."
Having said this, Navis' big owl-like eyes glanced straight at Zhen Cheng: "The last hint lies in the identity of the [victim].
The identity that all of us play points to a specific individual. There is obviously only one baron, which is documented in historical records. He most likely has no reason to hire more than one detective, and he has never heard of any nobleman in his own country.
The manor hires more than two pianists, unless it opens a musician's salon.
It is possible that there were multiple gardeners and maids working in the mansion at the same time, but considering that the organizer is so obsessed with "recreating history," it must be that the gardeners and maids involved in the case are also specific individuals.
Only [Victim]. Comparing the roles on all of our ID cards, why is the role played by Miss Zhen not ‘eldest lady’ or ‘daughter’, but ‘victim’?
The answer is obvious, because there is more than one deceased person.
As we play in the game, Ms. Zhen will not really be killed, so the same player can play multiple [victims]."
