Chapter 72 There are only three things!
"Do you suspect that Zhao Rui committed suicide?" Diana asked Su Bai.
Su Bai pressed his hand and signaled to answer Diana's words later. Instead, he continued to ask the old butler with a desperate mentality:
"Old butler, who else has ever asked you this question?"
The old butler smiled but said nothing, and the meaning was very simple. This question is impossible to answer you Su Bai.
Fortunately, Su Bai had no hope of getting an answer to this question. He sat down on the sofa, then handed Diana the bottle of medicine given by the old housekeeper just now, and asked Diana to help him with medicine.
Diana was not restrained, and directly poured out the ointment and began to apply it on the wound on Su Bai's body. At the same time, she said: "What do you mean is today's investigation, and whether Zhao Rui committed suicide is the benchmark?"
Su Bai could understand Diana's concerns, because once this is used as the benchmark for investigation, if there is another person in the real culprit, it would be difficult to find out, which could easily lead to everyone going blindly.
"Is the explosion based on the kitchen?" Su Bai looked at the traces on the ground and the blackened walls in the kitchen.
"The gas tank exploded, in the kitchen." Diana said.
"At the same time as the explosion, a zombie broke into my room and attacked me. The zombie was Simon.
I don't believe it was just a coincidence. In my opinion, the explosion in the kitchen should be covering the attack on my bedroom. Of course, if Pan Zhao Rui wanted to commit suicide, it might be that she was doing double insurance for herself."
Chen Ming said at this time: "Double insurance? Then, according to your logic, if you are killed by a zombie, then Zhao Rui has been burned. As two people attacked at the same time, she will definitely be excluded from our suspicion. If the zombie can't kill you, after all, ahem, we can also guess your identity.
If the zombie can't kill you, then she, Zhao Rui, can commit suicide. Killing herself in a way we can't imagine, but it's still very likely to become the biggest beneficiary. This is to use our blind spots in thinking."
Su Bai's eyes swept across everyone's faces and said certainly: "Just take Zhao Rui's suicide as the benchmark to investigate and collect evidence, for example, what she is busy with recently, what traces are there in her room, what things she has taken recently, what can be recalled, and what can be investigated, don't let go of all.
I suspect that Zhao Rui may be a strengthening similar to Taoist priests. What habits and habits do Taoist priests have? You can analyze them yourself. We must find absolutely reliable evidence as soon as possible. If we really can't find evidence, we can only turn back halfway and place the suspect among us living people."
First, because Su Bai found evidence that Hills was the murderer in the first round, second, because everyone had guessed that Su Bai should be the identity of a senior audience member, third, because when Zhao Rui died, Su Bai was attacked by zombies, so everyone basically did not think that Su Bai was the murderer of Zhao Rui. So when Su Bai spoke out the main line of the investigation, the people present did not object to it.
Lucy and Xu Gang went to the second floor to adjust Zhao Rui's room, while Chen Ming and Diana went to the swimming pool because Zhao Rui had swim several times during this period, so there might be some discoveries there.
Montali and Su Bai went to the place where Simon's body was placed first, and asked the old butler where Simon was dealt with and didn't get the old butler's answer. Su Bai and Montali walked outside the house again.
At this time, the heavy rain had just stopped a little, as if it was brewing the next pour, and there was also muddy outside.
The iron chain bridge is still broken, so Zhao's Villa has basically become an isolated island. In addition to the villa, there is also a forest behind the villa, but the area of the forest is also very small and surrounded by cliffs.
"It's really a peach tree." Su Bai looked at these trees and was surprised that it would cost a lot to plant peach trees in this place and this climate. Of course, this is the story world of radio design. If it is willing, ham can grow on the tree.
"What are we here to do?" Montaly said with some confusion. He knew that Su Bai might be a high-level listener. Even if he was not called an adult, he still had a little awe in his words.
"Look for it, if there are new cuts or which trees have wounds, there are not many things that can be found in this place that are beneficial to Taoist priests, but peach wood can be counted as the same.
If Zhao Rui is really a Taoist type reinforcement, she should have taken some raw materials here.”
"Is there any relationship between peach wood and zombies?" Montali still couldn't understand. He is a Westerner, and the story world he usually experiences is also a story world with a strong Western cultural atmosphere and color. He is not very familiar with some of the reinforcements and professions that are unique to China.
"Peach wood has an extremely important position in my country's folk culture and beliefs. It is also called "Dragon-Subduing Wood" and "Ghost-Saving Wood". It is the most widely used material for destroying evil and controlling ghosts. Legend has it that Kuafu chased the sun and threw the sacred wood into a peach forest before he died. The earliest Spring Festival couplets in my country were made of peach wood boards, also known as peach talismans. For thousands of years, peach wood has been said to cure disasters and avoid evil, and is called sacred wood.
Forget it, it doesn’t make sense to explain it to you. When you live through this story world and grow up later, you should have the chance to meet Taoist priests from the East.”
After hearing what Su Bai said, Montali couldn't help feeling relieved. Although Su Bai didn't say it exactly, it seemed that this meant that the other party did not intend to kill him. In fact, the survival rate of this mission was still very high. In the end, three people should be able to survive, because in the environment of three people, if another person dies and if the possibility of suicide is ruled out, even if one party is a killer and votes with each other, it will not have any voting effect.
Therefore, according to Montali's speculation, the old housekeeper should end the game with three people left, and maybe even earlier. Now, with the dead Zhao Rui, three people have died, and there are still 6 living people left. The fewer living people, the narrower the range of the murderer will be, and the worse the storyline will be. So Montali feels that at most one or two people will die, the game will be almost over.
The two searched in the woods for a while, and not long after, Montali shouted: "There is here, there!"
Su Bai walked over, and sure enough, several traces of peeled off were found on the two peach trees found in Montari.
There are indeed Taoist priests here.
Su Bai reached out and touched the traces and found that there were a few days left. Obviously, the Taoist priest was really ready after just a few days into the story world.
"Let's go back." Su Bai and Montali returned to the villa. At this time, the other two groups of people also returned after the investigation, but they found nothing.
Obviously, it seems that Pique's past lessons were learned. This time the murderer should have done more concealedly, at least he did a good job in the aftermath.
Six people sat on the sofa and exchanged their opinions with each other.
Su Bai frowned at this time and said, "It is impossible that there is no clue at all, absolutely impossible. We are not passers-by A and passers-by B. To put it bluntly, we are guarding against each other and always planning our own murder. Therefore, no matter whether Zhao Rui committed suicide or not, it is impossible for us six people to find nothing at all.
absolute,
There is definitely a place we overlooked!”
"Everyone, remember it." Chen Ming said at this time, "Look at if we have any details that have been ignored."
"If she wants to arrange a corpse and needs to do some magic and rituals to turn a corpse into a zombie, I think she needs a very spacious place."
Diana suddenly raised her head and looked up at the top.
"We seem to have never been on the roof."
Everyone immediately stood up and arrived at the second floor. At the innermost position of the second floor, there was a ladder and an open opening, which could directly reach the roof.
Everyone had just set their sights on where normal people could stay, such as rooms, or the swimming pool, but they really didn't think of the place on the roof.
Su Bai was the first to go up, followed by Montaly, Lucy and others. When everyone came to the roof, there were actually talisman paper and several peach wood swords in front of him, and a rope was fishing down from the eaves.
"It's the string." Su Bai reached out and looked down the string, then half of him pounced on the eaves and looked down, while the rest of the people also lay here and looked down.
"The place where the strings connect is Zhao Rui's room!" Lucy shouted at this time, "This is definitely Zhao Rui's room, because I live next to her, so I can't go wrong."
"Montali, please go down and confirm it." Su Bai said to Montali.
Montali immediately went down. After a while, he opened the window in Zhao Rui's room, reached out and pulled it up, and grabbed the strings easily.
"It should be right." Su Bai stood up and patted the dust on his body. "The purpose of this string should be to connect Simon's corpse to Zhao Rui while connecting it to the side of Zhao Rui. She can guess the degree of corpse transformation through the fluctuations of the strings, because corpse transformation is a gradual process, and Zhao Rui cannot stay on the roof all the time. In addition, the strange explosion and the zombies rushed into my room. That's right, Zhao Rui actually committed suicide, and she gave herself double insurance!"
"What a great woman." Chen Ming exclaimed.
Diana was also a little sighing, thinking that this woman named Zhao Rui has never attracted attention, but who knew she was such a tough character.
"Breakfast is ready." The old butler appeared at the entrance of the roof and said.
Everyone is no longer surprised by the elusive old housekeeper. Anyway, it has been confirmed that Zhao Rui committed suicide, and everyone is relieved. They probably want to have a good breakfast to sleep well for the day.
Lucy, Montaly, Chen Ming, Xu Gang, Diana and others followed the ladder one after another. Everyone did not wait for each other. Whoever went down first went straight to the restaurant.
When Su Bai was about to go down the ladder, he looked at the old housekeeper standing beside him and asked, "Can you really be the final winner if you didn't find out about suicide?"
