At eight o'clock in the evening, Jian Jing ended the live broadcast and went back to her room to sleep.
The cameraman stopped her and suggested, "Let's summarize today's investigation."
She thought for a moment and said, "I currently have three questions: 1. The deceased clearly died of suffocation, so why did the murderer chop off his head? 2. Is there any meaning in that phone call to the restaurant? 3. Who did Dan choose as his heir, and is his reason related to witchcraft?"
"I can understand the first two, but what does the third question mean?" The cameraman added, "Will the deceased choose his heir based on the results of divination?"
Jian Jing laughed, "No, what I mean is that people who believe in fate have very strange ideas. In the past, people believed that giving birth to a girl for the first time would bring misfortune, so they would drown them... Who knows what incredible taboos the religion Dan believes in might have."
The cameraman nodded, and the camera shook up and down.
"Miss Jane, do you also think that witchcraft is very important in this case?" Kojima Wataru came back.
Jian Jing asked, "Also?"
Kojima Wataru: "Don't you think it's strange? The shadow of witchcraft appeared in more than one person's room. I think there are secrets behind this family that we haven't discovered yet."
"It's indeed possible." She opened the door and said apologetically, "But that's for tomorrow."
"Please wait a moment." Kojima Wataru tried to stop her, "You haven't searched my room yet."
Jian Jing: "?"
A big question mark slowly appeared in her mind.
"I have completed the challenge left by Jane Sang, please also complete the puzzle I prepared." He said seriously.
Jian Jing: "..."
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether he was out of his love for reasoning or trying to attract her attention.
"That's not a challenge. Well, although I'm curious about your story and willing to try, it's too late now." Jian Jing declined tactfully, "Tomorrow."
Kojima Wataru said, "Then I will definitely wait for Jian-san to come."
Jian Jing was very upset and kept complaining in his heart: There won't be a love line in this script, right?
-
Jinwu's office building.
There are dozens of offices, two-thirds of the rooms are already dark, and the rest are still lit, and the office workers are working overtime. Among them, the lights in the president's office are even brighter.
It is obvious that Kang Mucheng has not gotten off work yet.
However, he was not busy working today, but watching the live broadcast.
At this moment, he entered the three words "Kojima Wataru" on the search page and frowned at the results that popped up.
Wataru Kojima is a mystery manga artist. His representative work "Haruhi's Mystery Story" tells the story of the beautiful detective Kasuga Nakamori solving cases.
However, the protagonist of the novel is not Kasuga-chan, but an otaku. He was hired as an assistant in a detective agency by mistake. From the initial doubt of "how could such a beautiful girl be a detective", he turned into admiration of "it feels so good to solve cases with Kasuga-chan".
Are there any emotional scenes between the hero and heroine? In the currently serialized paintings, the otaku is ready to confess.
Check out the comments on Japanese websites:
[Hey, Jian Jing really looks like Kasuga-chan]
[Dream linkage]
[Kojima-kun should be very excited]
[What a great combination, I decided to pursue you! ]
[Wow, the beautiful girl detective is so cool]
[Shizuka-chan is so cool, I’m a fan]
[Kojima-kun was ruthlessly rejected...]
Kang Mucheng turned his head and looked down at the information about Kojima Wataru.
The eldest son of the chairman of Huandao Company, he should have inherited a family fortune of hundreds of millions, but he loved comics since he was a child. He ran away from home and completed two mystery works in a rented house. Five years ago, "Haruhi no Mystery Story" began to be serialized in magazines and became one of the most popular and popular comics at present.
Japanese... He closed the page.
——Jian
Jing slept well, and was awakened by the knock on the door by the staff at eight o'clock the next day.
"Teacher Jian, can I come in?"
"Wait a minute." She picked up the small mirror beside her and glanced at her face. Nothing was wrong, so she got out of bed and opened the door. "So early?"
It was the familiar cameraman again, with the familiar smile: "Everyone is up."
Jian Jing waved her hand: "Fifteen minutes."
She closed the door and began to wash and change clothes.
At 8:15, she opened the door on time to work.
Cameraman: "That..."
"Huh?"
"There's no movement in Linna's room."
"What?" Jian Jing was surprised and ran to check.
At this time, several people had gathered in front of Linna's room No. 9. As soon as Jiang Baiyan saw her coming, he immediately came over to share the news: "I haven't seen her today, and the photographer didn't come either."
It's normal for someone not to be in the room, and the photographer didn't come either... it's a clear indication.
Jian Jing: "Where's the key?"
"It's with me." The NPC butler ran over breathlessly and opened the door with the master key.
Jian Jing couldn't contain her curiosity and was the first to look.
"Tsk." Her tone was very subtle, with a certain expected satisfaction, "Here it comes."
"What's coming?" Uncle Park Min-cheol has good professional qualities and is always on the front line. He asked, "Did you know something would happen to her?"
Jian Jing said, "The trick of the headless corpse is to have multiple bodies. One body is meaningless."
"Jian-san is right." Kojima Wataru also squeezed over, looked at the headless female corpse on the ground, and nodded in understanding, "Things are getting interesting."
Zhang Xueer asked blankly, "Is it interesting? Why do I only feel horrible..."
Jiang Baiyan complained, "Because we are not detectives."
Wu Lie also asked, "Does the case become simpler with one more person dead?"
Jiang Baiyan: "Yes, at least we can rule out one person."
"Not really." Kojima Shigeru corrected, "The murderer who killed Linnae may not be the same person who killed Dan. This could also be a copycat murder."
Jiang Baiyan glanced at him, "If it was a copycat crime, why would the first murderer be beheaded? To set an example for the people who come after him?"
Jian Jing: "Puchi. "
"Jingjing, what do you think?" he asked immediately.
Jian Jing was very depressed: "I don't know. I have to read the autopsy report first."
She had never realized that the forensic card was so important. If she couldn't get any clues from the corpse, the amount of information would be cut off immediately. She was not used to it.
Kojima Wataru, however, had already entered the state and speculated: "This should be the first scene. The murderer tricked Linnae into opening the door and then entered the room to kill people."
Jian Jing: "Not necessarily."
Compared to the study, Linnae's room is much more shocking. The sofa, coffee table, and floor are stained with blood, mixed with glass fragments, and the furniture has also been shifted a lot, which shows that there has been a fierce conflict.
"However, the two scenes are completely different styles. I'm afraid they are not the work of the same person." She looked for a while and seemed to have realized something. "This matter is worth analyzing carefully."
Kojima Wataru agreed.
Turning around, Uncle Park Min-cheol has already called everyone to gather and prepare for a meeting.
This time, we can skip the alibi because no one has it - everyone went back to their rooms to sleep since 10 o'clock last night.
Ten o'clock to six o'clock the next day is the "dark" time, which is used for werewolves to act.
"It's the second day, what do you think?" After the first day of brewing, many guests became active on this day, such as Li Kangna, who spoke first.
Ishikawa Keito immediately spoke: "Is the murderer the same in both cases, or are there two different murderers? If there are two people, did they collude?"
Jian Jing thought: This is a good question.
According to the rules of the game, there is only one signature for the real murderer. So why are there two murderers? The last European chapter told everyone, because this is a setting-based reasoning game.
The setting of the European chapter is that there are vampires - that is, the murderer. The murderer can develop his own brothers by giving them the first embrace and manipulate them to kill people.
Is this reasonable?
Of course not.
But the rules of the game are like this. If there are zombies, you have to follow the rules of zombies to reason. If there are mediums, you have to recognize the information given by ghosts.
"Today we are still looking for clues of witchcraft." Jin Lan'er also jumped out.
"Wait." Park Min-chul opened his notebook and brought up the past. "I have a few questions to ask."
He said, "During the interrogation yesterday, my wife, eldest son, and second daughter all said that they had talked to Dan. I want to know what you talked about. Judging from the time, the second daughter was the first at 8:40. Please go first."
Zhang Xueer thought for a while and said, "Nothing. I just talked to my father. He was very concerned about my health."
Park Min-chul: "Did he mention a will?"
Zhang Xueer hesitated and said, "He said that his health was not good and he didn't know when he would die. He was very happy to know that I was pregnant and prepared some things for me."
"Did they talk about heirs?"
She shook her head and explained, "My father is a very traditional man. He believes that a married daughter is like spilled water. Since I'm already married, he thinks I'm an outsider. The family property has nothing to do with me."
Park Min-chul accepted this and looked at Kumiko, "Where's the madam?"
Kumiko Terauchi replied, "I just asked him about his plans for tomorrow and about my sister."
"How did Dan reply?"
"He said that if Lan'er really doesn't like the person he introduced, it's fine, but she is absolutely not allowed to be a singer or actor." Kumiko Terauchi carefully recounted the scene, "He seemed to hate it very much."
"But Linna is a singer. Didn't he admire her singing at the dinner the day before yesterday?" Jin Lan'er was surprised.
Kojima said, "Perhaps, Dan hates Yumeng instead of Linnai. Jiansan, do you have any clues to tell us?" Jian
Jingshi was too lazy to talk about her broken character: "There are old magazines in the library upstairs, read them yourself."
Everyone silently took note and turned their eyes to the third person.
Li Kangna said, "Father only told me that his health has been getting worse recently. If anything happens, he asked me to treat my younger brothers and sisters well, because they are my blood relatives." Everyone
made another note in the notebook.
"Blood relationship." Valeria said, "It seems that Dan really cares about this."
"Many witchcrafts are based on blood relationship." Li Kangna was born in Singapore and heard a lot of feudal superstition legends when he was a child.
Wu Lie said, "Should we search Dan's room again carefully? Teacher Jian, didn't you find a secret room in the wife's room? Maybe there is one in Dan's room as well."
This statement was unanimously recognized by everyone.
So, a large group of people crowded into Dan's bedroom and lounge, rummaging through the drawers, looking for the switch of the secret room.
Only a few people did not go.
Park Minzhe stopped the housekeeper and seemed to be ready to ask something. Xiaodao Shu went to the library to look for magazines about Yumeng, and Jian Jing originally wanted to look for the secret room, but Xiaodao Shu directly gave her his room key.
The challenge was thrown in her face, how could she refuse?
She had no choice but to accept it and search Room 12.
When he opened the door, the layout was just as mentioned above, with all kinds of photos densely pasted on the wall. The whole room was like a large darkroom.
Jian Jing squinted for a while, then reached out and tore off a photo.
