Xiao Lou has played many escape room games before, and "diary" is the most common clue in this type of game. Many themed escape rooms use diaries to tell players what happened many years ago, allowing players to follow the clues in the diaries to solve the puzzles.
But this was the first time I encountered a corpse in an escape game.
Xiao Lou glanced at the little girl on the bed and said helplessly: "I'll do the autopsy, and everyone will split up and look for clues in the room."
This maze is a one-hour time-limited maze, which is several times more difficult than a normal escape room.
In reality, multiplayer escape room games generally give players 3 to 5 hours of challenge time, and the number of rooms usually does not exceed 5. But today’s escape room is an entire five-story villa, and the number of rooms is definitely more than five.
, just in the first little girl’s dream room, if Ye Qi hadn’t seen the notes on the staff, everyone would probably still have a headache facing the bloody fingerprints on the four walls.
When Xiao Lou thought of this, he warned: "Everyone, hurry up and don't miss any clues."
The teammates took action one after another. Some went to look through the closet, some looked through the drawers, and some went to the balcony, bathroom and other places to look for clues.
Xiao Lou took a step forward, lifted the quilt, and carefully inspected the little girl's body.
The little girl looked calm and her clothes were neat. She obviously did not struggle before she died. There were no obvious injuries on her body, and there were no bruises on her neck from being strangled. Judging from the body spots, complexion, and blue lips,
It was initially determined that she died of poisoning.
Xiao Lou checked the body again and said with certainty: "She was poisoned to death, and the time of death should be about three days."
Yu Hanjiang walked to the bedside and looked down at the little girl's body: "The first secret room was her dream. She asked us to sing Christmas songs to fulfill our wishes and get out of the dream. Obviously, she was poisoned before she could spend Christmas with her parents.
Killed. It can be inferred from her diary that the time of her death should be on Christmas Eve."
Xiao Lou asked doubtfully: "Who would attack such a child of about ten years old?"
Yu Hanjiang folded his arms and after thinking for a moment, he came to the conclusion: "It's very possible that her parents are dead and the murderer didn't want to leave anyone alive, so he poisoned the little girl too. Please check the medicine she took."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qiao found two bottles of medicine on the little girl's dressing table, took them over and handed them to Xiao Lou: "Professor Xiao, take a look."
Xiao Lou took it and looked at the name of the medicine and said: "This bottle is antipyretic medicine, and this bottle is antiviral cold medicine. Lucia has been sick recently. Her cold has not been cured and she has been taking medicine every day. This medicine bottle contains
The capsules may have been replaced by someone, and she was poisoned after eating them."
Yu Hanjiang picked up Lucia's diary, flipped through it quickly, and said: "The person who can walk into her room and change her medicine must be someone who is unprepared by Lucia and is very familiar with this villa. She
Three key people were mentioned in the diary, namely the personal doctor, the nanny who took care of her, and the driver who picked her up, and all three are currently suspected."
Xiao Loudao: "Many of her parents' friends came to the party on Christmas Eve. Was the murderer a doctor, a nanny, a driver, or a friend attending the party? We have to find the bodies of her parents as soon as possible before we can proceed with the next step of reasoning."
Long Sen walked to the bedroom door, pushed the door hard, and said: "This door can't be opened. There is a seven-digit code lock on the door."
Xiao Lou looked around and said, "What clues did everyone find?"
Qu Wanyue came over and said, "I checked Lucia's wardrobe and saw a lot of pink princess dresses. I went through the pockets of all the clothes and found nothing related to numbers."
Liu Qiao said: "Lucia has collected a lot of dolls, exactly seven. I don't know if it has anything to do with the password."
She held seven dolls and placed them on the bed one by one.
Xiao Lou took a closer look and saw that they were all classic characters from cartoons, two Mickey Mouses of different colors, a Donald Duck, a Snow White Barbie doll, a Spider-Man, a bear, and some characters from Frozen
heroine.
He carefully inspected the dolls. All the dolls were very new and had zippers on the back. After they were opened, they were filled with cotton and there were no other clues.
Yu Hanjiang asked: "Are the seven dolls related to the seven-digit password?"
Xiao Lou said: "We can't see any connection yet, let's look for it again."
Mo Xuemin found Lucia's schoolbag, opened it, and took out all the textbooks inside, as well as a pencil box. This box also contained seven things, including pencils, red, yellow, and blue colored pencils.
brushes, erasers, ballpoint pens and rulers.
It’s seven again, but how do pencils and erasers connect to numbers?
Xiao Lou frowned slightly: "Let's look at things related to music. These dolls and pencil cases are probably just distractions."
Everyone searched Lucia's house again.
Suddenly, Ye Qi squatted in front of the dressing table and said, "There seems to be a hidden compartment here."
He lightly knocked on the bottom drawer of the table and heard a clear "dong dong" sound, which was obviously different from the knocking sounds of other drawers. It seemed to be empty.
Yu Hanjiang immediately walked over and pulled out the drawer, and sure enough he found that this drawer was much shallower than the others, with a mezzanine partition in the middle.
Yu Hanjiang quickly removed the partition and found a delicate small box on the bottom of the drawer.
The small black box looks like a piano when opened. There is a little princess the size of a thumb standing on it, wearing a pink tutu, with her left hand upward and her right hand stretched out, as if she is about to dance.
Ye Qi's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a music box!"
Yu Hanjiang had never played with music boxes when he was a child. He handed the box to Ye Qi. Ye Qi looked at it carefully, found the clockwork knob under the piano music box, and turned it a few times.
As expected, the little man standing on the piano began to dance, and at the same time, the music box emitted a crisp piano melody.
Everyone quieted down at the same time and listened carefully.
A very familiar melody, it is a children's song that almost everyone can sing.
Twinkling and twinkling, the sky is filled with little stars.
The original English version of this song is twiwiar, hohatyouare... No matter which version, the melody of the music is the same.
The melody played by the music box is very clear and sweet.
--
Ye Qi listened carefully and quickly hummed the tune: "C key, 4/4 beat, six bars in total. do-do-so--la-so, fa-fa-mi-mi-re-
Xiao Lou took out a pen and paper and generated the corresponding numbers in simplified musical notation according to the melody Ye Qi hummed.
1155665,4433221,5544332,5544332,1155665,4433221.
Yu Hanjiang asked: "The password is seven digits, but the entire piece of music has six measures and a total of 42 notes. Should we still use the same method of eliminating repetitions as before?"
Xiao Lou carefully scanned the recorded simplified score and said, "No, this piece of music is missing a note."
Ye Qi nodded in agreement: "That's right, there is no xi in the whole song, which is the sound of 7. If you use the superposition elimination method, and finally eliminate it, the remaining numbers will be six digits."
According to the rules for eliminating duplicates, the result of eliminating this piece of music from beginning to end will be 156432.
There is no seven-digit password without 7.
Ye Qi suggested: "If there is a missing number, just add 7 at the end. Can the password be 1564327?"
Liu Qiao also said: "Lucia has seven dolls, seven things in the pencil box, and the door password is also seven digits. Is it like Xiaoye said, we just need to add 7 at the end?"
Xiao Lou thought it made sense: "Let's try it."
Yu Hanjiang walked over and entered the password 1564327 into the electronic lock at the door.
As soon as I finished losing, I heard a piercing alarm ringing in my ears. Immediately afterwards, countless rag dolls fell from the sky. A large number of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White, and Little Bear piled up into a mountain, burying everyone in the room.
.
Xiao Lou: "..."
What does it feel like to be buried by a rag doll?
He is a boy, and his parents have never bought him a doll since he was a child. Today is a good day, as he can see all of them at once!
Everyone was caught off guard by the doll.
Although it didn't hurt when the rag doll fell and hit him, this scene made everyone dumbfounded.
Ye Qi couldn't help complaining: "The ceiling is obviously sealed, but a bunch of rag dolls fell from the sky. This is not scientific at all." Next to him, Long Sen was also cursing: "Fuck, these little bears just sat on my head!
"
Shao Qingge couldn't laugh or cry: "Is this considered a punishment?"
At this time, Yu Hanjiang had a Donald Duck hanging on his head, and dozens of little bears around him buried him in a pile of dolls. Yu Hanjiang expressionlessly removed the dolls around him, and then turned around to help Xiao Lou clean up the dolls.
baby.
Seeing Xiao Lou's face emerging from the pile of rag dolls, his eyes full of confusion, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and said: "This punishment mode is quite unique."
Xiao Lou looked awkwardly and pushed away a Mickey Mouse lying on his face, and said: "The music maze we are in is probably all a dream, so there will be these unreasonable scenes. Now, we are in Lucia's bedroom
"The way children punish us is to bury our mischief with dolls. If we go to another room, the punishment mode may be more dangerous."
At this time, teammates also crawled out of the pile of dolls.
Ye Qi quickly kicked the rag dolls around him into the corner and cleared an area where he could stand. He looked helplessly at the rag dolls in the room and said: "The password is wrong. It seems that the elimination method is not used this time?
"
The elimination method adds a 7, and the password is actually wrong.
Xiao Lou touched his chin and thought carefully, then looked at the numbers on the paper again.
1155665,4433221,5544332,5544332,1155665,4433221.
The first and fifth paragraphs, the second and sixth paragraphs, and the third and fourth paragraphs of this children's song have the same melody. When Ye Qi hums, the third and fourth paragraphs are repeated continuously.
The passage, which is very much like an "emphasis", is sung twice in a row.
The first secret room uses the superposition elimination method. Maybe the password for the second secret room is a continuously repeated "emphasis" paragraph?
Xiao Lou suggested: "Try 5544332."
When the teammates heard this, they all took defensive postures, fearing that if they entered the wrong password, something would fall from the ceiling.
Yu Hanjiang took a step forward and quickly entered the password of 5544332.
However, there was no punishment session this time. As the password was completely entered, the melody in the music box suddenly stopped, and the door of the little girl's bedroom opened with a "squeak".
The sound of opening the door in an empty environment was extremely clear and seemed to reverberate.
It was pitch black outside the door, and the light from the little girl's room illuminated the corridor into a fan-shaped warm area.
Everyone looked at each other, and Yu Hanjiang took the lead and walked out of the room first, followed closely by Xiao Lou, and his teammates immediately followed.
This was an empty corridor with no lights on. As soon as everyone walked out of the door, something suddenly rushed past their feet. In the darkness, a living creature passed by their feet. Everyone was immediately horrified and immediately took out the night pearl to illuminate it.
corridor.
Yu Hanjiang looked calmly at the corner of the corridor and said, "It's a cat."
As if to confirm this, the thing at the corner turned around. Its eyes were beautiful gold, and its fur was as white as snow. It was the cat mentioned in Lucia's diary. She named this cat
Named Tom.
The white cat glanced at everyone, gave a gentle "meow", and then disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Xiao Lou looked at the direction in which it disappeared and said thoughtfully: "If something happened to Lucia's family on Christmas Eve, then it is very likely that this cat is the only survivor. Maybe it came to help.
Let’s uncover the truth behind what happened to this family.”
Yu Hanjiang agreed and said: "Let's go, follow us and have a look."
Everyone followed the cat around the corner, and another door appeared in front of them. Yu Hanjiang walked over and opened the door.
This is a piano room. There is a huge grand piano in the middle of the room, and there is no other furniture.
A woman is sitting next to the piano. She is wearing a beautiful dress and has blond curly hair that reaches her waist. She puts her hands on the keys of the piano and seems to be preparing to play a piece of music.
However, her dress burst into a pool of dazzling blood, and a sharp long knife was stabbed into her chest from the front!
