"He wants to get rid of the burden of his younger brother, and also wants to get rid of me and No. 2, and have complete control over this body." No. 3 walked to the window and looked outside, "It is too easy to get rid of my brother, but it takes the two of us.
Get rid of them too, that’s not a simple matter.”
Zhang Yichi said no more, lit a cigarette, and smoked one after another.
"So he thought of a way to join forces with Number 2 to kill his brother and then frame me." Number 3 put his hands in his trouser pockets and said in a low voice, "He didn't need to join forces with Number 2. The purpose of the alliance was to make Number 2
No. 2 will also bear the blame. In this way, if my brother dies, he frames me, and then sells No. 2, and after the two of us are wiped out, he will be the final winner."
"Hiss...huh...no surprises, that's it." Zhang Yichi didn't expect the truth to be like this. He blew out smoke and didn't feel relaxed because the truth came to light.
"There are still some small clues and problems that I'm not sure how to do, but the general framework has been revealed, and these side details are not too important. When the time comes, I'll wait for him to tell you himself." No. 3 turned around and looked.
He opened his eyes and relaxed, then looked at the clock.
It's only half past eight now.
"Want... to play cards?" No. 3 asked.
Zhang Yichi said nothing, frowning, and smoke filled the air in front of him.
No. 3 shrugged, sat aside and opened his brother's diary boredly.
Zhang Yichi is still thinking.
The truth has come out, but he still remains calm enough. The possibility that No. 1 is the last murderer has reached its peak, and there are no loopholes in the deduction of the murder process.
No. 3 still has no motive for the murder.
The case was solved much earlier than he expected.
What should we do next? Are we in a daze?
"They just died like this?" Zhang Yichi slowly sat on the sofa and stared at it, as if talking to himself or asking No. 3.
No. 3 stared at the notebook without turning his head: "Probably."
"You said yesterday that you reincarnations have just inherited the memories of each personality. So in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with you whether you kill people or not." Zhang Yichi said, "...In fact, in my eyes
Here, we are all innocent, but the most cruel thing about this place is that even if everyone is innocent, they must fight to the death."
"What do you think?"
"I don't have any thoughts, I just feel sad for them... and for myself."
"Have you imagined that one day you will die like this?" No. 3 finally put down his notebook and looked at Zhang Yichi with interest.
Zhang Yichi said "hmm" and said seriously: "Yeah."
"Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
"Hey, can you imagine? Not long ago, I was a person waiting for death every day." Zhang Yichi said, "I felt that life was meaningless, boring, and without pursuit. But maybe a few days ago, I suddenly didn't want to
Dead."
"Why?"
Zhang Yichi smiled: "Just... In a very short period of time, I met a lot of people who were fighting against death... You know? They fought with death to a disgraceful state, but they just didn't compromise. What they value most is
, to me, it has become the most disdainful. It is like wasting food in front of a group of people who have not eaten for several days. You will not be embarrassed to do this, you will be trembling with fear."
"Are they supervising you?"
"Maybe." Zhang Yichi stood up and put out his cigarette butts in the ashtray, "They're all dead...including my mother. It's fine if you're alive, but if you're dead, I'll follow you like a shadow."
"Then do you want to live on your own, or are you forced to live by them?" No. 3 was puzzled.
"Now I want to live my own life - why have I taken it so far?" Zhang Yichi realized that he had said too many things that he shouldn't have said.
He didn't like to talk about what was on his mind. He had just felt something and muttered to himself. Unexpectedly, No. 3 continued what he had said and unknowingly ended up talking about it now.
"Since you want to live, then live well." Number 3 said.
——
3:58 pm.
"Tell me, what will happen later? Will No. 1 and I not show up, or what?" No. 3 asked while lying on the sofa, leaning on his hand.
"I don't know, but that's not important anymore." Zhang Yichi sat there with his eyes closed and didn't know what he was thinking. "As long as No. 1 can't give me the evidence I want, he will have to be erased."
Number Three stared at the time on the clock.
Soon, four o'clock sharp.
"Huh? I'm still here?" No. 3 found that he was not asleep, but still lying there safe and sound.
Zhang Yichi looked at him.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door of their home to the secret room. Zhang Yichi stood up and walked over. He slowly opened the door with some vigilance and saw a person who looked exactly like No. 3.
"...No. 1?" Zhang Yichi was stunned for a moment, then guessed.
"It's me." No. 1 walked in and saw No. 3 lying on the sofa. "Did we exist at the same time for the last eight hours?"
"Maybe he wants us to confront him face to face." No. 3 sat up.
The two looked at each other with a strong smell of gunpowder.
"Sit down first." Zhang Yichi took a deep look at No. 1, then turned back to the sofa and sat down.
Number 1 also went over and sat down: "Has there been any progress in the past eight hours?"
"The case has been decided." No. 3 directly confronted No. 1, "Everything was your plan. Not only did you kill my brother, you also wanted to get rid of us."
"Oh?" No. 1 looked at No. 3 jokingly, "How do you say that?"
Number Three expressed his inference.
"In this way, the possibility that No. 2 and I are the murderers has been raised to the highest level, right?" No. 1 was still calm after hearing this, "The murder conditions, motives, and all the clues have been reasonably integrated. It is really impeccable."
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Number Three asked.
"No."
No. 3 has the winning ticket, and now he seems very relaxed: "But you don't seem to have any intention of admitting it."
"I have no evidence to prove my innocence, but I still want to say that I am innocent." No. 1 was a little panicked before, but now he is getting calmer, "You said it was me who wanted to get rid of you, but why can't it be you who want to get rid of you?"
Get rid of No. 2 and I, deliberately setting up this trap."
"Your rebuttal is very unconvincing." No. 3 shook his head slightly.
"Other than that, I really don't have anything else to say. I'll leave it to him to decide whether you are right or I am right." No. 1 looked at Zhang Yichi.
Zhang Yichi crossed his arms across his chest and sat in the middle: "Isn't there anything else you want to defend No. 1?"
