Chapter 99
"Well, is there a possibility of imitating the handwriting?" Yang Pei suddenly began to worry.
Shen Yunzhe looked at Yang Pei with a strange look in his eyes, "You've read too many detective novels."
"Is there no such possibility?" Yang Pei blinked.
"This is reality, not some drama-filled TV show or novel. Handwriting imitation is usually something that only criminals who have made thorough preparations would do. Look at us, who would have the time to prepare to imitate someone else's handwriting? Besides, we don't even know each other, so how can we imitate?"
Shen Yunzhe's voice was filled with disdain, "How can someone's handwriting be imitated so easily?"
Shen Yunzhe spread a few sheets of paper on the ground and said, "Let's check the notes."
"Oh." Yang Pei pouted and moved over to look at the notes with Shen Yunzhe.
The first person to be ruled out was Cheng Yiyi. Cheng Yiyi was a star, and she had practiced her signature specially. When signing, she subconsciously used the cursive script that she was good at, which looked gaudy. The second person to be ruled out was Shen Yunzhe. His handwriting was elegant and had the flavor of a calligrapher. Shen Yunzhe knew that this was the influence of his code name, Calligrapher.
The next person to be eliminated was Yang Pei, whose handwriting was very delicate. The next person to be eliminated was Shi Xingxiang, who unexpectedly wrote a poem written in the style of a primary school student, which was very easy to recognize.
"It wasn't Shi Xingxiang. Seeing how strange she was acting, I thought it must be her." Yang Pei said in frustration, "And it was Shi Xingxiang who tipped off Shen Ji about going to the temple, and now he's at odds with us..."
Finally, they looked between Qiu Shurong and Zhang Luqing, but unexpectedly found that the character did not belong to them either.
Yang Pei suddenly looked up at Shen Yunzhe, "Didn't you say that no player would imitate the handwriting?"
"I said it, what's wrong?" Shen Yunzhe said confidently.
"But this word doesn't match any of us!" Yang Pei began to speculate. "Could there be another player we can't see? He's silently observing us and then putting our lies into this suggestion box?"
"Having a big imagination isn't a bad thing, but if your imagination is directed in the wrong direction, that's your problem." Shen Yunzhe said, "Didn't you notice that there's a person missing from these papers?"
"Lack..." Yang Pei was stunned for a moment, "Chen Ji's own?!"
Shen Yunzhe searched in his pocket and then placed the last piece of paper on the ground.
There was a blood-red X on the paper over Chen Ji's name, and it smelled strongly of blood, but the words they used to sign were black, and the blood did not cover the black words. Yang Pei's face was distorted when she found that Chen Ji's handwriting matched the picture perfectly.
It was Shen Ji himself who submitted this accusation!
"But why?" Yang Pei looked at Shen Yunzhe with confusion in her eyes, "Why would he do this?!"
"There are two reasons. One is that he was deceived. He was the only one who entered the temple. He saw something in the temple and came to this conclusion, so he did this for some clue. The second reason is that he didn't rely on his own consciousness to do this. He was controlled and did it unconsciously."
Yang Pei's face turned grim. "I think it's the first reason. There must be something in that temple!"
"This is a good thing." Shen Yunzhe smiled.
"Ah? Good news?!" Yang Pei couldn't understand.
"That's a good thing, because it means no one has used the suggestion box as a false accusation point yet." Shen Yunzhe smiled happily. "If someone else gets voted into the false accusation point and dies, then we can be pinpointed to the two of us. It's either you or me. What a small range!"
Yang Pei's face turned pale and blue, and she didn't know what to say.
Boy, is this a good thing?!
"Zhang Luqing and the others went to that temple. I wonder what they'll gain." Yang Pei had to change the subject. "What should we do now?"
“Let’s deal with this suggestion box.”
Yang Pei watched Shen Yunzhe stand up and stuff all the notes back into the suggestion box, then lock it back in place. Not only that, Shen Yunzhe actually took out two candles from his arms and used the melted candles to seal the opening of the suggestion box.
Then Yang Pei watched Shen Yunzhe take out another oil-based pen from somewhere and write a line of words on the suggestion box.
[Who are you to give me advice?!]
Yang Pei silently told himself that he was a forensic doctor and a policeman, so it was normal for him to carry a pen with him. Being a policeman was a profession, and being a person was a person, so it was normal for Shen Wei, a policeman, to be full of rebellion.
Yes, she must have too little experience.
After finishing, Shen Yunzhe admired it with satisfaction for a while, and then returned to the hotel with Yang Pei. The receptionist in the hotel was still standing in the same place without saying a word. Shen Yunzhe and the others sat on the sofa waiting for Zhang Luqing and the others to come back, but they did not wait for Zhang Luqing, but waited for Shi Xingxiang instead.
Shi Xingxiang had a strange expression on her face. She looked at Shen Yunzhe and the others, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"What do you want to say?" Yang Pei's attitude improved after he knew that Shi Xingxiang was not the one who killed Shen Ji. "We are teammates. You can tell us if you have anything to say."
Shi Xingxiang looked at them and said after a moment: "I saw Shen Ji."
"We all saw it. Isn't he dead?" Yang Pei didn't care much.
"No, I'm talking about... the dead." Shi Xingxiang pointed to the window of the hotel, "It's the dead area behind. I just went there to see if there was anything there, and I saw a small house there. Shen Ji was sitting in front of the small house, wearing black clothes."
"I was shocked." Shi Xingxiang looked grim.
Yang Pei was stunned, "What did you say? Shen Ji appeared in the rows of small houses in the back?!"
She hurried to the second floor, where the field of vision was wide. She pushed open the window and looked around carefully. As expected, she saw a small house at the edge. In front of the small house sat a person who looked very similar to Shen Ji.
Shen Yunzhe didn't seem to care at all. After hearing these words, he started to weave with a few threads in a lack of interest. Unfortunately, he didn't have the skill, and the threads soon became a mess.
"Aren't you surprised?" Shi Xingxiang looked at Shen Yunzhe in confusion.
"What's so surprising? The dead should stay among the dead. I have buried a bunch of dead people before." Shen Yunzhe said.
Buried a bunch of dead bodies?!
Shi Xingxiang looked at Shen Yunzhe with a puzzled and terrified look, as if he saw some terrible monster.
"Well, he's not possessed by a ghost. He's talking about the audience on the live stream on his phone!"
Before Shi Xingxiang was about to escape, Cheng Yiyi, who happened to have returned, heard their conversation and hurried over to clarify.
Yang Pei, who came down from upstairs, and Zhang Luqing and Qiu Shurong behind her looked at Cheng Yiyi in confusion.
What live audience?
After Cheng Yiyi told Shen Yunzhe everything he had done, everyone present looked at Shen Yunzhe with strange eyes, including Shi Xingxiang who was terrified just now. They began to wonder if they were wrong, and that Shen Wei was actually mentally ill.
Why are players and spectators arguing with each other?! Not only are they arguing with each other, but they also have to bury the spectators, burying their phones?!
This is totally inconsistent with normal thinking logic!
"Is there a problem? The dead should be buried in graves." Shen Yunzhe said he was normal, "Don't make a fuss."
The misunderstanding was resolved, and they began to discuss business. Shi Xingxiang was obviously unwilling to discuss with them, so she turned around and went upstairs. Zhang Luqing called her, but she didn't turn back, so Zhang Luqing ignored her.
"We entered the temple. Since only one person could enter at a time, we went in according to the order in which we entered. After we came out, we compared the things we saw inside and finally returned after confirming that they were the same." Zhang Luqing said: "It was similar to what Shen Ji said. There was a strange stone statue enshrined, and there were traces of living things under the stone statue."
"Actually, it wasn't just living creatures. They were actually internal organs." Qiu Shurong made a vomiting face as he recalled the scene. "I'm 100% sure they were human organs."
"What you said doesn't count." Shen Yunzhe said, "You think you are familiar with human internal organs? In fact, human and animal internal organs can be confused."
Qiu Shurong quickly closed her eyes. "You'll know when you have time to go and see it. Okay, don't interrupt me."
Shen Yunzhe shut up and nodded, with an expression that said, "You guys continue."
"The deity enshrined here has a name: 'True God,'" Cheng Yiyi added. "I've never heard of this deity before. Perhaps it was invented to create this tourist area. But regardless, it looks sinister and there might be something fishy going on."
"Did you get anything over there?"
Shen Yunzhe nodded, "Yes, we found the false accusation."
Yang Pei told them about the note in the false accusation site and the fact that Shen Ji had written a letter of accusation against himself, and then asked them if they had seen anything in the temple.
Because Chen Ji went to the temple before his death, it seems that something happened in the temple, otherwise he would not have written a letter of accusation to himself.
"Where is the false accusation?" Zhang Luqing wanted to take a look.
"I won't tell you." Shen Yunzhe said.
Everyone present was stunned, and they all looked at Shen Yunzhe strangely.
What's the meaning?
"If you put a lie into the False Accusation Point, that person will die. If you follow this logic, the False Accusation Point is too dangerous." Shen Yunzhe said, "That's why I can't tell you. If another player dies because of the False Accusation Point next time, you can look for it between me and Yang Pei."
Yang Pei's face turned grim. "Hey, do you really think this is a good thing? I don't think so!"
"What if someone else knows about this and makes a false accusation? Wouldn't that just put the blame on us?!"
Shen Yunzhe was laughing. "Anyway, that's it. I'm going to go take a look at the temple."
Watching Shen Yunzhe walk away leisurely, Yang Pei's face turned grim, "What does he mean by this?!"
"He is picking you out." Zhang Luqing suddenly spoke.
Yang Pei was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
"He clearly stated that only you and he know the false accusation site now. If anyone dies, the choice will be between you and him. This shows that you two won't throw anything into the false accusation site. No one would be stupid enough to harm others after saying something like that."
"In other words: he is telling us that if someone dies again, it has nothing to do with you." Qiu Shurong is not stupid.
"As expected of a forensic doctor, that false accusation was too dangerous, and he eliminated it with just a few words."
Zhang Luqing shook his head and sighed, "I believe none of us would frame others. If we don't know the specific details of the false accusation, then we don't know."
"Everyone continue to try to find new clues."
…
Shen Yunzhe walked to the front of the temple. There were several people standing outside the temple. They stood there silently like other residents. They didn't make any movement when Shen Yunzhe came over. They just glanced at him when Shen Yunzhe tried to go in, and then Shen Yunzhe directly retreated.
He looked at these people and asked, "What were you taking notes of?"
Those people didn't answer, just like the dead.
"Don't challenge my eyesight. If I say you remember it, then you remember it." Shen Yunzhe said, "What did you remember just now?"
Shen Yunzhe himself is not a dull person. His code name is Sleep Disorder and he is very sensitive. It is a kind of sensitivity that is independent of his own attributes. In addition, his code name is Calligrapher and he is sensitive to writing posture, so he can easily find that they are writing. Soon Shen Yunzhe found the notebook where they were secretly recording.
In a place no one else can see, there is a record of entry and exit in the notebook.
The people at the front were all strangers, and soon the text records above became the players who came in this time.
First it was Chen Ji, then Shi Xingxiang, then the person who had entered before, and the name in the last row was 'Chen Wei'.
Shen Yunzhe raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that this name might be from the agreement they signed at the beginning.
Throwing the notebook back, Shen Yunzhe ignored it after making sure that everything was fine. He turned and entered the temple. As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Shen Yunzhe walked a little and saw the internal organs thrown in front of the temple, with a tongue mixed in.
The entrails and tongue were placed in a basin with the word "real" written on the basin's edge.
Going further ahead is the statue for worship. The statue is as long as a human arm. There is a tablet in front of the statue with the name of the statue written on it.
'True God'.
The statue is a woman with a kind face, but she doesn't have the feeling of an ordinary statue. Instead, she looks more like an ordinary woman, just a little gentler than a normal person.
In other words: not like a god, but not like an evil god either.
"How can a true god know if someone is lying?" Shen Yunzhe looked at the statue. "This isn't about the truth of a particular thing, but about the entire town. It's very difficult to control so many people and prevent them from lying."
Shen Yunzhe murmured, "Can you really do it?"
"Things are always one-sided and misleading. Sometimes the truth that others firmly believe in is a lie caused by the one-sidedness of the event."
After saying this, Shen Yunzhe was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, Shen Yunzhe saw the real statue in front of him suddenly open his eyes.
The eyes of the real statue looked no different from those of ordinary stones. She just looked at Shen Yunzhe, and most of the gentleness on her face disappeared.
At this moment, it looked like an evil god.
[In a real town, you must be a real person and not lie.] Words appeared in front of the real statue, clearly meant for Shen Yunzhe to see: [Those who come to worship, have you ever lied?]
"Of course not." Shen Yunzhe was still confident.
The statue's eyes rolled, spun around once, then closed again, and then fell silent, just like an ordinary mechanism.
Shen Yunzhe looked at the statue, clicked his tongue, and turned to walk out.
He thought: Judging from various examples of feudal superstition, there might be a confession box nearby.
As soon as Shen Yunzhe walked out of the temple gate, he saw Yang Pei standing there.
"Chen Wei, you're out!" Yang Pei shouted hurriedly, "What's going on inside? Could it really be Shen Ji's internal organs?"
Shen Yunzhe thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Just go in and take a look yourself."
Shen Yunzhe then asked, "You didn't tell them about the false accusation, did you?"
Yang Pei's expression became a little unnatural. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "No."
After saying that, Yang Pei hurried into the temple. Shen Yunzhe was waiting for her outside the temple, and then snatched the entry and exit record book from the people at the door for the second time. Those people were still as silent as corpses, as if their only duty was to prevent more people from going in.
Yang Pei's name appeared on the last page of the notebook.
After thinking about it, Shen Yunzhe turned to the first page of the notebook and found the first name.
The first person to enter the temple was called Kong Fang, a woman's name. I wonder if she's still alive? Could this be the first grave in the small house?
Shen Yunzhe began to consider the possibility of looking for the dead.
But he still despised the dead, especially since that was the burial place of the live broadcast viewers. How could he have the nerve to dig up the graves of the live broadcast viewers?
Huh? Digging a grave?
Shen Yunzhe's eyes suddenly lit up, and he now felt that it would be interesting to dig up the graves of the live broadcast viewers.
These things don't deserve to be buried.
