Chapter 40 College Students (Part 1) [Second Update] It was a song called "Sweet..."
Everyone looked at Jian Zijin as if they didn't know him.
They stared intently at Jian Zijin, trying to recall the subtle clues they had gathered over the past few days.
Unlike usual, what kind of psychological qualities should a qualified serial killer possess? Jian Zijin seems to have all of them now. In order to complete the disguise, he has handled the character's image, habits, what he does, actions, and small details too perfectly.
Even though Yang Xiaohong was the first to find this place, she was unable to immediately testify against her and defect to the enemy.
But why? What was Jian Zijin's motive for committing the crime?
Everyone looked at the dormitory head, afraid of misunderstanding a good person, but suddenly Yang Xiaohong's body went limp, and the scenery in front of her began to distort.
Then, the other weak-willed players were dealt another blow by Jian Zijin's manipulation.
A carefully set trap fell down in the corridor of the public teaching building.
The day before yesterday, they suspected that the school was responsible for the power distribution room malfunction that caused the injury, but now a large iron fence that had been turned upside down has locked them all in this place, and it seems that the person who is really in charge of everything is right in front of them.
Jian Zijin remained indifferent; he was the most skilled actor in this game, and the victory before him came so easily to him.
Li Xiaojun: "I...I can't speak...All I see are snowflakes..."
"Idiot, we can't move because of the Nine-Turned Green Pine!" Wang Xiaoming finally came up with a clever idea when he fell to the ground.
Others rushed over and pounded on the railing, but it was no use.
They were being manipulated by the murderer, and unless they could win psychologically and reveal Jian Zijin's motive for killing, they were doomed.
Fortunately, the system is fair.
Players and murderers have equal opportunities to solve cases and commit crimes.
After some exploration of the deciphering methods, Yang Xiaohong noticed out of the corner of her eye that there was also a five-element pattern unlocking mechanism on the railing in front of her. However, they needed to input a strange formula first. The question was that two rows of colors corresponded to organs, and the answer was to fill in the correct colors into the five major areas of the human body.
In a moment of inspiration, she thought, "The five colors and five elements also represent the five senses—the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and skin. What environments within the school could provide physical evidence? Could evidence have been dropped there?"
On the other hand, Jian Dieda, as the one who set the questions, did not immediately make a move to eliminate the person.
Before coming out alone, he made a point of washing up in his dormitory room, and even the smell on his neck was faint.
"System, now that I've successfully killed the person, I can declare the murderer the winner of this round of the murder mystery game, right? Those two policemen also inhaled the scent of the plants, so they won't know anything."
The host, who wears many hats, had calculated the time error in his mind and knew he could handle the situation with the five people in front of him.
The system replied, "No, according to your task feedback, you haven't finished the side quests yet."
Jian Dieda, who was thinking about his personal relationship with Zhong Jun, remained silent.
The little system sensed the host's eagerness to end things and leave. "Just as you woke up, you discovered that Zhong Yun had disappeared again. You haven't figured out what secrets he's hiding. Now it's a public chat session. The main characters in front of you might have the truth. You can find the answers by talking to them."
At the mention of this matter, Jian Dieda's long, slender fingers clenched tightly at his trouser hem. The emotions he had been building up after countless tests of Zhong Jun were about to explode, yet he couldn't find an outlet. The reason was right in front of him.
【drop--】
[Rulebook 2-5, all characters' public chat time has ended, the final defection investigation into the Chongli University dormitory case has begun]
[Jian Zijin's identity as the 'murderer' has been exposed.]
[Let me reiterate the principles of murder mystery games: This round is a host-turned-player scenario. The team currently has four players with combat capabilities. Only if three or more players successfully defect to the enemy can the main character's team be defeated.]
[Jian Zijin, as the old wolf who truly tears away human skin tonight, please kill all the opposing players and complete the level cap.]
The past seems like a mere chronicle, and the future remains uncertain.
Whether Zhong Jun is a human or a ghost became the final hurdle in the case.
“Can I give an answer now?” Jane Dieda asked tentatively. “Zhong Yun is a human. He has been hiding in Chongli Ghost School. I have felt his heartbeat.”
System: "Did you press OK?"
"..."
Hesitating for only a second, Jane lost the opportunity to answer the side quest immediately.
The five colors correspond to the five internal organs, and the five internal organs correspond to the five elements.
Yang Xiaohong used her knowledge of feng shui to break the cage lock, and their temporary predicament was resolved.
He heard the sound of a lock being opened, and Jian Dieda crouched down, quickly stopping Yang Xiaohong from crawling out of the trap.
But Yang Xiaohong's counterattack this time was to expose her back.
Her companions Xie Xiaomei and Wang Xiaoming roared and rushed out. The three of them grabbed Jian Zijin's arms from inside the cage, and the four of them fell to the ground.
The dormitory head's knife fell to the ground.
Xie Xiaomei kicked it away.
The six-person nighttime standoff began ahead of schedule.
The dormitory head could have fought back, but as fate would have it, her cell phone, which was in her left pocket, rang just like it had that night in the power distribution room.
Seeing the killer stop moving, the five-person group, covered in cold sweat, were all incredulous.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Xiaohong shielded Xie Xiaomei with her body, allowing Xie Xiaomei to seize the weapon.
The dormitory head's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
He stood awkwardly outside the cage, his right hand gripping his phone, veins bulging, and a hint of hatred flickering in his dark eyes. He was still staring at the mysterious number, trying to stop him from killing.
The continuous ringing of the bell was from the song "Tian Mi Mi" (Sweet Honey).
If the dormitory head couldn't guess who it was in his confused mind at this moment, then all those days of getting to know Senior Zhong would have been for nothing.
Where Zhong Yun is has become one of the most important questions in the finale.
However, the intense fighting earlier left the people present speechless, and they could only gasp for breath. After about ten seconds, Jian Dieda picked up the script and coldly glanced at the five people.
Li Xiaojun, Zhang Xiaojun, and Wang Xiaoming immediately became too afraid to even breathe.
Only Yang Xiaohong dared to speak loudly, "Jian Zijin, you have no way back. Those two policemen said that before Director Zhang died, four other people were killed in the past two years. Do you have anything to do with their deaths?"
Jian Zijin looked up: "What do you think, female detective?"
Yang Xiaohong and Jian Zijin exchanged a glance, and without fear, she pointed at his Nokia phone: "Then I'll make a bold guess: from the day you enrolled, you've been using a false name to impersonate a freshman."
Jian Zijin: "..."
Yang Xiaohong continued to take out the fragmented photos from the fourth act, pointing to the biggest plot twist evidence of the night, and explaining the turning point of the story word by word.
“Jian Zijin, the reason I found you in the middle of the night is twofold. First, I’ve always suspected that the notification of the murder in the power distribution room was staged by you. Second, the photo of Li Jinjun and his parents is incomplete. After the murder, Li’s parents also passed away. Logically, no one should have ruined the family photo, so there must be someone else in this photo.”
Jane Dieda stepped forward: "Shut up."
Yang Xiaohong ignored her completely and insisted on loudly proclaiming the truth: "This person is a direct relative of Li Jinjun, which is why he knows everything and took the opportunity to come to university to seek revenge on the school. Is this you? Your brother is named Li Jinjun! Your parents have been killed! You have already killed three people. Director Zhang is the fourth person you have been targeting, and Senior Zhong Jun is the fifth, right?"
"..."
The girl's voice was hoarse as she finished speaking. She tried to end the story in a lighthearted manner because she knew that this was the conspiracy that the dormitory head had been plotting.
A deathly silence enveloped the campus in the dead of night.
Only that one exposed statement continued to echo in everyone's ears.
