This is a small and closed secret room, with only a chandelier hanging in the center. The chandelier is old and not very bright, so the secret room is still a little dark.
Zhang Yichi was sitting on a chair. In front of him was a small long table. There was a man sitting opposite him on the other side of the small long table.
【Welcome, reincarnator.
You will experience all kinds of worlds here.
In this reincarnation world, you will serve as the judge and judge a strange murder case.
The man who killed his own brother has three personalities. Only one of them is an innocent person. What you have to do is to find out the truth, make a judgment every twenty-four hours, and eliminate the existence of the personality you think is the murderer.
.
If you succeed, you will leave the world of reincarnation together with the innocent people. If you fail, the murderer will win, and you and the innocent people will die.】
Zhang Yichi carefully looked at the man sitting in front of him. The man was sitting upright and looked calm. However, his face was pale and his body was thin, which made him feel listless.
"Are you also a reincarnation person?" Zhang Yichi asked.
The reason why I ask this is because when the mission was just given, it was said that if he succeeds, he will leave the world of reincarnation together with the innocent people. Only reincarnations can enter and exit the world of reincarnation, so these three personalities may be the same as him.
people.
"Yes." The man said calmly, "What do you call it?"
"Zhang Yichi." Zhang Yichi became more vigilant after learning that the other party was a reincarnator. He lowered his head to check the items he currently owned. There was a watch on his hand that showed it was 00:00, a report on the table, and
This notebook allows him to record and organize information.
The man also reported his name: "My name is No. 1."
"No. 1?" Zhang Yichi glanced up at the man, and then opened the report. The first page of the report contained information about the three personalities.
"Well, we don't have names, so we use numbers to identify ourselves..."
No. 1 was explaining, Zhang Yichi was listening and reading the report.
The time when the three personalities awaken is written on the first page.
Wake up at 0:00 on the 1st, 8:00 am on the 2nd, and 4:00 pm on the 3rd.
Each personality will wake up for eight hours. During these eight hours, they can maintain their independent memory and independent thinking ability.
The first page of the report also briefly explains the characteristics of the three personalities. However, it is noted later that these personalities may be disguised by them, so it is for reference only.
Number 1 is very capable and therefore arrogant, but has a strong sense of responsibility.
Number 2, innocent, helpful, and likes to play games.
Number 3, mean, careful, rational
The second page of the report is a brief introduction to the murder.
The man's autistic brother fell to his death between 9:30 and 10pm last night.
Judging from the traces at the scene, it was not a suicide.
It wasn't until early morning that No. 1 woke up. Seeing that his brother was not at home, he went out to look for him and found that his brother had fallen. He immediately called an ambulance and the police.
And then, now.
"Have you read this?" Zhang Yichi picked up the report book, raised it to Number 1, and read a few paragraphs to him.
No. 1 nodded: "I know everything above."
"Hmm... it's a little strange." Zhang Yichi looked at the second page of the report book, "It says that your brother died between half past nine and ten o'clock, which was the awakening time on the 3rd. Since it's not
Suicide, he should be the only one who pushed it. But will the case be so simple?"
"Maybe it's that simple. If you don't be smart, you will be misled by your cleverness." No. 1 said.
Zhang Yichi was silent for a long time and asked No. 1 a question: "Where were you when you woke up at midnight?"
"I woke up from bed and when I went to the toilet, I found that my brother was not there, so I started looking for him——"
"Look, there's another problem." Zhang Yichi interrupted No. 1, "You woke up in bed, which means No. 3 should have gone back to lie down. If he killed his brother, how could he go back to lie down again?
?Is it possible that you have a strong psychological quality?"
No. 1 opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "You have to ask him about this."
Zhang Yichi raised his eyebrows and looked around again. There was a locked door on one side of the secret room, so he changed the topic: "Where does that lead to?"
"I don't know." Number 1 said.
"Well..." There were eight hours of interrogation time, which was very ample. Zhang Yichi was no longer so anxious. He slowed down and considered every place, "Two of your three personalities are murderers.
, it must be a joint crime. The need to join forces means that to kill your brother, it is not enough to rely on one personality alone, or the period of time when one of the personalities awakens."
Number 1 listened quietly, then nodded: "A very pertinent analysis."
Zhang Yichi observed the facial expression of No. 1: "So any of the three of you would say that the other two are the murderers and you are innocent. But you should also know that just by saying this, it is impossible to make me let go.
Suspicious. You have to show evidence that you are not the murderer, and then explain why you think they are the murderer."
"Okay." No. 1 adjusted his sitting posture and looked very sincere, "First of all, whether you believe it or not, I still have to say that I am innocent and I have no idea about this matter."
Zhang Yichi took his notebook and pen and listened attentively.
"Since I am not the murderer, then the two of them must be. But to be honest, I don't know their motives for doing this." No. 1 shook his head, frowning slightly and thinking, "The three of us live in this body together.
I have been here for a long time, and my brother has been sick for a long time, but we have always been harmonious. Why this happened suddenly, I really don’t understand..."
Zhang Yichi held the pen for a long time but did not start writing. He said: "How old is my brother this year?"
"When I was eighteen years old, after my parents passed away one after another, we were the ones raising her."
"What are you working on now?"
"As a designer, the salary and remuneration are pretty good. The work is mainly done by No. 2 and I, because the two of us wake up at the same time as working hours. No. 2 doesn't know much, and mainly works in the company, designing and so on.
After I wake up, I will make it overnight, the two of us
The cooperation is very good. The third will wake up at 4:00 in the afternoon. Although he can't help much at work, he will also help with some trivial problems." No. 1 said, "The third is mainly at night, and he is responsible for the home.
I have to do other things, clean the house, take care of my younger brother, and occasionally need to work overtime at the company."
"I'm a little surprised that you would say that you and No. 2 have a tacit understanding. Normally, you should avoid this. After all, the person who killed your brother was two personalities who joined forces. It would be detrimental to you to have a tacit understanding with No. 2.
"Clues" Zhang Yichi excerpted the key points in his notebook, "By the way, since you all maintain independent memories and independent thinking abilities during your respective awakenings, how do you usually communicate with each other?"
"Leaving notes, yes, is a rather inefficient way, but it seems that this is the only way to communicate." No. 1 shrugged, showing a wry smile, "We left messages to each other, and that's how we arranged our respective affairs. Later, it was already
We have a tacit understanding, so we don’t even need to communicate at ordinary times, and we can take over seamlessly.”
What did Zhang Yichi remember: "Aren't you hostile?"
"We are neither hostile nor friendly. Our division of labor and cooperation are to keep the whole thing running smoothly. On this basis, each of the three of us has his own life." No. 1 explained.
