"I am really innocent. My brother's death has nothing to do with me!"
Zhang Yichi glanced at the time, it was already past eight o'clock, and realized that the emotional man now was number two: "You are number two."
No. 2 made some noises and looked frightened: "Yes, I am No. 2."
"Please calm down first?" Zhang Yichi pointed at No. 2's pocket, "Please take the cigarette case from your pocket."
"This is No. 1's cigarette. He usually hates others touching his things..." No. 2 reminded, but still took it out and handed it to Zhang Yichi.
Zhang Yichi took the cigarette case, took one out and held it in his mouth: "I have already talked with him. He is the only one among the three of you who smokes. Maybe I will get rid of him later.
If you don’t let me smoke this cigarette, won’t it be wasted?”
"..."
"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Zhang Yichi opened his notebook, which listed the questions he was going to ask No. 2, "What did you do when you were awake yesterday?"
"I...sent my brother to the billiards hall first when I was at work...Did No. 1 tell you about this?" Halfway through, No. 2 was worried that Zhang Yichi didn't know about the existence of the billiards hall.
Zhang Yichi raised his chin and blew out a puff of smoke: "As I said, just tell me directly. If there is anything I don't know, I'll ask you to stop and explain."
"Okay then." No. 2 organized his speech and continued, "I'm sending my brother to the billiard hall, and I'm going to work. I will work until four o'clock in the afternoon, and then it will be No. 3's business."
"???"
"???"
"Just... gone?" Zhang Yichi was a little confused.
"Yeah, no, it's just a normal day." No. 2 spread his hands.
Zhang Yichi smiled politely: "Do you think I will believe it?"
"What's so hard to believe? Yesterday was just an ordinary day for me." No. 2 showed a reasonable expression.
"So you are innocent, and these two are the murderers." Zhang Yichi said.
"Yes, that's it." No. 2 agreed.
"Do you think this is interesting?" Zhang Yichi's eyes were bright and his tone became serious, "Yesterday, two personalities joined forces to kill his brother, but the other innocent personality, I don't think that day was an ordinary day for him.
One day, you will definitely notice something unusual, and there will definitely be something wrong."
Number 2 was speechless for a long time: "Are you going to rely on intuition to solve the case?"
Zhang Yichi leaned on the chair, lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickered, and he thought for a long time before saying: "If you are innocent, then No. 1 and No. 3 are the murderers. But when I was talking to No. 1, he insisted that No. 3 was the murderer.
Murderer. If they are really cooperating, there is no need to kill each other, as that will expose their clues. If they are really cooperating, they should point the finger at you together in a subtle way. "
"That's what No. 1 said?" No. 2 thought thoughtfully.
"It is not ruled out that the two of them are really the murderers. No. 1 deliberately testified against No. 3 to make me give up my doubts about them." Zhang Yichi shook his head, he was a little confused now.
Every piece of information and every conclusion can have two explanations, and both explanations are reasonable and there are no logical loopholes. This makes him unsure which explanation is the truth.
"Anyway, I don't believe you didn't do anything." Zhang Yichi stamped out the cigarette butt.
"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not." No. 2 curled his lips.
"We've already recruited No. 1, what are you still pretending to do?" Zhang Yichi suddenly laughed, "The game did a good job. If someone else had come in, they would have eliminated the innocent No. 3 in the first round without even thinking about it.
Already."
It looked like Zhang Yichi was smiling happily, but in fact he was paying attention to No. 2's expression.
No. 2 opened his mouth and stayed for a while, then he couldn't hide his sarcastic expression and said: "Huh... you are an idiot, right?"
"Do you think there's any point in pretending?" Zhang Yichi asked, squinting his eyes.
"You said such things to an innocent person? You want to deceive me? You deceived the wrong person, big brother." No. 2 curled his lips and shook his head, "I will not harm my brother."
Zhang Yichi returned to normal in an instant and continued to communicate calmly: "You were just standing there for a while. What were you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering why you are such an idiot." No. 2 swore directly.
"Bang!"
"Holy shit!"
Zhang Yichi punched No. 2 in the face. No. 2 fell backwards on the chair and fell to the ground, covering his face and screaming.
"Speak carefully." Zhang Yichi reminded with a gloomy face.
"Hey... can we still do it here?" No. 2 rubbed his nose and found that there was no blood. He put the chair down with a grin on his face and stood there in anger, "You don't believe that I will beat you?"
"You want to prove your innocence by beating me?" Zhang Yichi raised his head and asked.
No. 2 was discouraged, sat back in his seat, and rubbed his face again: "I am really innocent. I just scolded you because you slandered me and killed my brother. I was so angry."
"Okay, I apologize to you." Zhang Yichi said perfunctorily.
"Okay, something did happen while I was awake yesterday." No. 2 relaxed.
"explain."
"I went back home at noon that day." Number 2 said.
Zhang Yichi was a little confused: "You usually don't go back at noon?"
"I usually go to the company at noon, mainly because I want to play games at the company during the noon time. The boss always thought that I was working overtime, and later assigned me a lot of extra work because of this. I did all those things on the 1st
Afterwards, I received a commendation from my boss and left a message saying that it was all my fault, haha..." Number 2 said with a proud smile.
Zhang Yichi stopped in time: "I'm off topic, tell me what you did when you went back?"
"I forgot the USB flash drive. I went back to get it." No. 2 explained.
"Why did you just hide the fact that you were going back at noon?" Zhang Yichi felt that No. 2 was telling lies.
"I'm afraid of being misunderstood."
"Does No. 3 know about your return?" Zhang Yichi asked a question that stunned No. 2.
Number 2 swallowed: "How do I know whether he knows or not."
"Do the people in your company know that you are going back?"
"I know. I can't escape from the company for more than an hour without being discovered."
Zhang Yichi realized something, and he said calmly: "You decided to tell me this because you were afraid that No. 3 would learn from colleagues in the company that you had left at noon. You were afraid that when I talked to him, he would
You knew about this and told me about it, thus arousing my suspicion towards you."
"If you want to put it that way, I can also say that there is nothing abnormal about me. Nothing special happened when I woke up. So even if No. 3 really knows about this and told you about it, how can we prove that he is not lying?
?" No. 2 asked back.
"That's what you originally planned. But you got flustered later and felt that if you insisted that nothing strange had happened, it would arouse my suspicion. You were also worried that No. 3 would learn from your colleagues that you left at noon, so
Just go with the flow and tell the story to clear the suspicion." Zhang Yichi said his speculation,
"You take this too much for granted." No. 2 became anxious.
"What do you think, how about erasing you in the first round?" Zhang Yichi said with a smile.
