The question Kojima Wataru asked was not difficult.

He cleverly hid clues in hundreds of photos, but the guests who searched for evidence before were more interested in things like letters and passbooks, and did not have the patience to distinguish them, so they did not find anything unusual.

But as long as you classify the photos of each series and pick out the works of the award-winning series, you will find that the people in them are very strange: they are either looking at the sky, or looking to the left, or looking to the right, with their eyes staring straight, as if they were dead.

Arrange the photos in chronological order, take the first photo as the origin, draw the direction, and you will get a word: live forever.

Eternal life.

"It seems you found it." Kojima Wataru came back with the magazine in his hand.

Jian Jing glanced at him and said, "You're not slow either."

"I finally understand." Kojima Wataru said, "Yumeng's hometown is Wu Village, and the people there believe in witchcraft. My "Voodoo" series was filmed there."

Jian Jing nodded and said, "There should be records of Wu Village in Ishikawa's folk research materials."

"This supernatural magazine published a report on Yumeng, saying that she cast a curse on Linnae, stole her fate, and caused her career to plummet, but later the curse backfired and killed herself." Kojima Wataru flipped through the magazine and said clearly, "But throughout the article, there was no mention that she had a daughter."

Jian Jing spread his hands.

Kojima Wataru said, "Let's be frank. Do you know Tamae's identity?"

"'I' don't know anything about Wucun. I only know that Tamae is a star and I got her legacy, which is the notebook." Jian Jing said, "To 'me', it doesn't matter where Tamae was born. What matters is what I want."

Kojima Wataru went straight to the point: "What do you want?"

"Marry into a wealthy family." She said dryly, hating her bad luck again.

Kojima Shigeru asked, "Is it related to witchcraft?"

Jian Jing nodded and said, "As far as I know, witchcraft is divided into two categories: curses and blessings. I should have used the latter to make Sanzi fall in love with me and be willing to get engaged to me. But in the entire notebook, there is no mention of immortality. Where did you get your photo from?"

Since Kojima Shigeru was speaking frankly, he was also sincere and answered directly, "When I went to Wu Village to collect folk songs, I heard from the locals that the most powerful witchcraft is the art of immortality, which can allow people to escape the cycle of death."

"Then what?"

He said, "There is no then. When I went there, the witch of Wu Village had disappeared, and the other villagers just heard about it from hearsay."

"Why did you go to Wu Village? Who told you?" Jian Jing was curious.

A faint smile appeared on Kojima Wataru's face: "No one told me. I saw the sign of Wucun in Dan's study, and I decided to go and take a look on a whim."

Coincidence? Jian Jing glanced at him suspiciously, but did not question it.

It didn't matter whether it was a coincidence or not.

Then it was Kojima Wataru's turn to ask: "Are you Dan's child?"

Jian Jing: "What do you think?"

Kojima Wataru's eyes flashed, and he said tentatively: "Dan strongly opposed your marriage with Sanzi, it's entirely possible."

"I don't think his attitude is like treating his own daughter." Jian Jing said, "Why did the murderer kill Linna?"

In reality, similar cases may be copycat crimes, but there is only one real murderer in the game. Even if the murderer is not the real murderer, it is caused by him.

Kojima Wataru: "There are too many reasons. The most likely one is that the focus was diverted. There are far fewer people who want Linnae dead than those who want to kill Dan."

"Maybe Linnae has some unfavorable clues about the real murderer." Jian Jing thought for a moment and suddenly felt depressed, "Isn't that me?"

If Linnae knows something that others don't know, the most likely one is Yumeng's story.

Kojima Wataru looked at her and said honestly: "Jane-san, you are in a very unfavorable situation."

Jian Jing: "... I'll go see how they are doing in finding the secret room."

The secret room was found after lunch, which took an hour and a half.

The way to open it is to rearrange the star map on the wall in the order of the twenty-eight mansions, and you can see that the center of the ornaments converges into a line and falls somewhere on the floor.

This wooden floor is movable. Slide the wooden block, take out a certain board like Huarong Road, break it open, and there is a switch underneath.

Jiang Baiyan expressed everyone's thoughts: "This is too difficult."

They sighed as they walked into the secret room behind the bookshelf.

Inside was the third body.

Jian Jing heard this and came over with a sandwich in her mouth: "The third body? Not bad."

Jiang Baiyan: "What's good about it?"

"The more the murderer moves, the more he will be exposed." She quickly finished her lunch and started working.

The secret room is not big, but it is connected to the bedroom and study. It is roughly as follows on the map:

....Viewing balcony..Bedroom

....Dressing

room.**.Living room..Door.

.**.Lounge..Door

Study..........

....Balcony......

*The area for the secret room is a completely closed space. Candles are lit on the ground, which have been completely extinguished and scattered all over the place. It is very messy.

Jian Jing kicked the candles away, revealing the solidified wax marks: "It turns out that there is a circle, an altar."

The third body is in the middle of the altar. Of course, it is still a dummy, and it has no head. The cause of death is unknown. It is wearing fancy clothes, which is also very messy.

"It looks like a fight took place." She lifted the arm of the dummy, and as usual, she couldn't see anything. "But we still need to see the autopsy report to see if there are any resistance injuries."

Kojima asked, "Who is this person?"

The all-purpose butler NPC who did his job well said, "It's Granny."

Jian Jing raised her eyelids and said, "Please tell me your identity information."

The butler introduced the character setting: Granny, whose name and origin are unknown, is said to be Dan's fellow villager, who knows Chinese medicine and is the old lady that Dan invited to treat him.

"Granny is very mysterious and rarely goes out. Except for the old man, few people can see her." The butler said.

Jian Jing: "How old is she?"

The housekeeper thought: "At least seventy or eighty years old, maybe more than that."

"She is from Wu Village." Xiaodao Shi talked about the clothes on the back of the mannequin, revealing a tattoo pattern, "This is the symbol of the village witch."

Jian Jing said "hmm", and said without much surprise: "Dan is pursuing immortality."

Throughout the ages, any old man who has mastered money and power will seek the illusory art of longevity at the end of his life. If

you are a little superstitious, you will find the elixir of immortality, and if you are a little sci-fi, you will find gene cloning. There is no difference in essence.

"But he still died." Andre said, "The witchcraft failed, and someone ruined Dan's plan."

Zhang Xueer: "There is a tape here."

"Listen quickly." Everyone urged.

Jiang Baiyan took the tape recorder from the bedroom and loaded the tape. After the rustling sound, Dan's voice came from the speaker.

"Is there really a way to achieve eternal life in the world?"

"Yes." An old voice answered, and the housekeeper confirmed with his eyes that it was the old lady's voice, "Everyone wants to escape death."

Dan: "But I'm dying, and the medicine you gave me has no effect."

The witch said: "Medicine is not for healing your body, but for cleansing your soul."

Dan: "Soul?"

Witch: "The body is just a container. It will be damaged no matter what. Only the soul can live forever."

Dan: "But I want a young body. I long to go back to forty years ago, with endless energy and endless time."

Witch: "Then you need a new container."

The recording stopped abruptly.

Ishikawa Keito said: "So that's how it is. Dan wants to reincarnate into another person to realize his dream of eternal life. But looking at the situation on the scene, the ceremony must have been disrupted."

Liu Xiuzhi said: "Then we should find out who Dan chose as the container."

Wu Lie frowned: "I think it should be one of the two sons."

"Dan will definitely not give up his property. I think it is more likely that someone can inherit the inheritance." Terauchi Kumiko stated, "And, considering his patriarchal personality, the probability of choosing a female is very low."

The spearhead was immediately directed at Lee Kangna, who was the eldest son.

He had to defend himself: "Can reincarnation choose anyone? Are there no special requirements for birth dates?"

"Blood relationship." Park Min-cheol added, "Dan said that blood relationship is very important."

The air condensed instantly.

At noon on the second day of the live broadcast, the first key suspect appeared.

——Live

broadcast platform, comment area:

[The eldest son is most likely to do it. Regardless of whether he knows about reincarnation or not, Dan must die to inherit the inheritance]

[It's too early to draw a conclusion now. This may be a trap set by the murderer]

[It's too obvious, it's definitely not him]

[Don't forget, the eldest son can't give birth. Reincarnation will definitely take this into consideration]

[I think the probability of the third son is higher]

...

——After

a messy search of the scene, everyone went to the conference room. Linna's autopsy report was out in the morning.

She had resistance wounds on her body, and died of excessive blood loss after the artery was broken. In other words, the cause of death was beheading. The time of death was between 12 and 1 last night.

Kojima Wataru analyzed: "The murder weapon was a steak knife from the kitchen. He came prepared and decided to chop off Linna's head early in the morning, but he didn't expect that Linna didn't die when she lost the ability to resist."

"Is it a copycat crime?" Park Min-cheol asked.

"Because of the reasons we all know, the second murderer must be related to the first murderer. Is there any supernatural influence in this?" Valeria asked cautiously.

Jian Jing took back her notebook, read it carefully, and said, "In my impression, witchcraft can't achieve such a hypnotic effect. What about you?"

Ishikawa Keito said, "In Asian culture, witchcraft can make people crazy, seriously ill, or even dead, but the murderer did not kill in a crazy state, but planned soberly. Witchcraft should not be able to do this."

There was a brief silence in the air.

——The

camera switched and a temporary video appeared.

Tips: In this round of the game, the real murderer can trigger the murder plan of others (accomplices) through reasonable means. The newly appeared murderer may know the identity of the real murderer, or he may not know it, depending on the game mode.

If the accomplice is caught, he can choose to hide or defect. If

you choose to hide, the real murderer successfully hides his identity, and the helper can get a bonus of 100,000

. If you choose to defect, you can get a bonus of 200,000 if you succeed, but you will not get any bonus if you fail.

If the helper is not caught and the real murderer successfully hides his identity, you can get a bonus of 100,000

. If the real murderer is caught and the helper is not caught, you can enjoy a bonus of 1 million.
