"I don't want to bet money, I just want to talk to Brother Bazzell again." Lynn dismissed Matt's worries and quickly tried to clear his mind.
Supernatural phenomena appeared again. Although he had seen a lot, it was still a bit difficult to digest.
polluted area.
Cleanup tasks.
The Bazel brothers will be killed in ten minutes.
And what the mysterious voice called himself at the beginning.
It seems that something is connected in series, which leads to a bigger mystery.
Lin En probably understood what the unique [Awakened One] mark on his body meant. It was like a passport to contact the other side of this different world, which meant that his life was destined to not be peaceful.
【Nine minutes and thirty-seven seconds, nine minutes and thirty-six seconds——】
The countdown continues.
Time was tight and Linn was not allowed to analyze too much outside of the task.
Since someone can kill the Bazel brothers who look very difficult to deal with, if I can't investigate, it will be even easier for the other party to kill me who is crippled.
"Take me up." Death was approaching, and Lynn had to urge Matt to hurry up.
"What's the point of talking to them? Look at their eyes. They are obviously from the slums, but they look down on us and keep exposing your wounds..." Matt doesn't like the Bazell brothers.
He thought that the further away from these two people, the better.
"It doesn't matter to me, I'll explain to you later, let's go." Lin En couldn't hold it any longer, so he pushed the wheels of his wheelchair and moved towards the stairs.
"Brother, please wait for me." Matt, who was quite resistant, had to catch up quickly, pushed Lin ** to the stairs, and carried him to the third floor in the same way as he went from the first floor to the second floor.
.
It is very obvious that the third floor has been poorly renovated. There are five gambling tables in the open area in the center, and there are two crudely built single rooms on one side.
Maybe it’s because it’s busy down there on Christmas Eve, or maybe it’s because I went to eat during dinner time. In short, there weren’t many people on the third floor at this time.
Excluding the two uninformed private rooms, the number of gamblers gathered in the hall, either playing or watching, plus the dealer, there were only about fifteen people.
The murder will most likely occur on the third floor. The fewer people on the third floor, the easier it will be to identify the murderer.
However, Lin En did not relax for this. He knew that the mysterious voice had issued the task, and if he dared to allow himself to observe at will ten minutes in advance, or even approach the Basel brothers, things would definitely not be that simple.
Otherwise, if I had been staying with the Bazell brothers for the past ten minutes, or spying on them secretly, I could have easily learned the identity of the murderer, completed the task, and received a point reward of unknown use.
"Hello, where are the Bazell brothers?" There were no Bazell brothers in the hall. Linn could only go to the nearest gambler and inquire about him.
The gambler was watching the card game. He didn't even bother to turn his head and pointed directly to the private room.
"Okay, thank you." After learning the location of the Bazell brothers, Linn glanced at his brother Matt. Matt understood, pushed him to the single room, and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and inside, the Barzel brothers were each holding a young woman in their arms, drinking, smoking, and playing cards.
Among them, Burton looked a little surprised when he saw that it was Lynn who came to the door: "Lynn? What's the matter? You want to play too?"
"I'm very curious. I want to take a look first." Of course Lin En wouldn't actually play. He just wanted to use this kind of rhetoric to delay time so that he could naturally get in touch with the Bazell brothers as much as possible before they were killed.
Understand the situation beforehand.
"What's the use of just looking at it? Let's try it for a while." Burton couldn't ask for more. Anyway, they can make a guaranteed profit by opening a casino. If they can lure one more person into the trap and lose everything in the casino, they can earn a little more commission.
"Brother." Matt called.
"Forget it, I'll watch them play outside first. If it feels good, I'll come directly with you." Lin En found out the situation of the Bazell brothers' single room, and the purpose was achieved. He didn't want to waste his limited resources.
Time is wasted playing cards.
"That's okay, but you have to hurry up. It's Christmas Eve and we'll be going down soon," Burton said.
"Okay. By the way, is there anyone in the private room next door? If there's no problem, we can go play in the private room next door later." Before leaving, Lin En asked about the situation in the private room next door.
Burton thought for a while: "There should be no one there. It doesn't matter. If you find it interesting, just come here and find us."
"Okay, let's go there first."
"Um."
After closing the door of the cubicle, Linn was still worried about the single room next door, so she asked Matt to go over and take a look and confirmed that it was empty.
"Brother, didn't you say you don't want to gamble?" Matt thought that Lynn was trying to make a quick buck by gambling, so he urged in a low voice seriously, "This is not a good thing. Although the money comes quickly, it is bigger.
It may be a total loss! We can just save money slowly, not to mention you can write novels, you will always save enough money to heal your legs in the future..."
"There's no way I'm betting, I'm just fooling him. Go to the bathroom and check to see if there's anyone there." Linn reassured him and asked Matt to check the last area on the third floor.
"What are you..." Matt couldn't understand Lynn's series of behaviors since arriving on the third floor.
"I will explain it to you later, go quickly." With less than seven minutes left, Linn urged again.
Matt had to go there once and sent back the important information that there was no one in the bathroom.
In this way, Lin En knew the terrain and personnel on the third floor.
Excluding him, Matt, and the Barzel brothers, there were a total of seventeen people on the third floor.
Among these seventeen people, there are two women who stay in a single room with the Bazel brothers. Their corruption points are only twenty or thirty, and it is unlikely that they would be able to kill the Bazel brothers. Also because of the disparity in size and strength,
Basically do not have the ability to implement.
The other fifteen people were gamblers and dealers who were playing and watching cards in the lobby.
The depravity value of these people, the highest of which was only fifty-five, was not as good as that of the drunkard who often harassed him. It seemed difficult to connect him with the murderer of the Bazell brothers.
As for Basil Burton, his corruption value is ninety.
Bazel Chad, the depravity value is one hundred and one.
If you dare to attack them, your corruption value will not be much different from theirs.
At the same time, after killing them, investigation is still needed to find out, which also means that the murderer did not kill with passion and should have been more or less prepared. This further distinguishes the murderer from the gamblers at the gambling table who have completely lost their minds.
divided.
In addition, the layout of the third floor is relatively simple. If you want to kill the Bazel brothers here and escape safely without anyone noticing, the possibility is slim.
Based on these analyses, Linn judged that the final murder scene was not on the third floor, and the murderer was not among the people on the third floor.
In other words, the murder scene is indeed on the third floor, but the murderer has not shown up yet. He has other means to eliminate his own suspicion after killing the Bazell brothers.
Thinking of this, Linn set his sights on the stairs.
【Six minutes and forty-four seconds, six minutes and forty-three seconds——】
"Brother, why don't we go down to the bar and watch the show or something." The atmosphere in the casino made Matt very uncomfortable, and he was still afraid that Lynn would get hot-headed and actually go and gamble with the Bazzell brothers.
, and lost all the little savings he had.
"Wait a minute." Linn looked at the single room where Brother Bazel was with complicated eyes.
Now, a stark choice awaits him.
Should you take the risk of staying with the Barzel brothers, or keep a certain distance from them?
The former will undoubtedly collect more clues when the Bazell brothers die, and even witness the murderer with his own eyes.
But this also means that he is in the same danger as the Bazell brothers. In order to ensure that the matter is not leaked, the murderer will most likely kill him altogether.
The latter is safer in comparison. It can leave him a few hours of investigation time before the final time limit of twelve o'clock at midnight. The only drawback is that he will inevitably miss some clues when he distances himself.
To put it simply, one has many clues but is dangerous, and the other has few clues but is safe.
After much thought, Linn decided to compromise and retreat to a safe area to secretly monitor the Barzel brothers.
If this condition is not met, it can be simpler, retreat to the second floor, and write down everyone who goes to the third floor. The murderer will be there without any accident.
"Matt, we-"
Lynn was about to ask Matt to carry him to the second floor, but before he could finish speaking, he saw an unexpected person ascending the stairs.
