Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

Without a pinhole, Zhao Xun could only think of two possibilities.

The first is to use special items to poison the milk on the opposite side of the plastic bucket.

The only one who can do this is Fan Xiaodan, a player.

Second, the needle used to inject the poison is extremely thin, and the poisoner’s technique is exquisite. The insertion and extraction speed is extremely fast. The plastic bucket can be restored to its original shape without any trace of the needle hole, and there will be no leakage.

Most people can't do this. Either the murderer has specially practiced it, or the murderer must be engaged in a related occupation and have the opportunity to practice his hand speed.

Fan Xiaodan is also suspicious of this.

After all, when she examined Grandpa Feng's body, she looked very professional, and she might be a forensic doctor.

Of course, Zhao Xun does not only suspect Fan Xiaodan, but judging from the current situation, Fan Xiaodan is quite suspicious.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun said: "Everyone, please tell us about your profession."

When Grandpa Feng introduced everyone before, he only mentioned their names and nothing else.

"Hey, hey, I'm saying you're suspicious, didn't you hear?" Dou Yaohui shouted at Zhao Xun, "Why do you still act like you want to take charge of the overall situation?"

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Fan Xiaodan. Although he didn't speak, his meaning was expressed clearly.

He also suspected Fan Xiaodan, but Fan Xiaodan did not respond a word.

"What's the point of talking nonsense like this?" Zhao Xun said bluntly, "So far, no one here has escaped suspicion. If you doubt me, come up with solid evidence, don't just rely on words. Just I also think you are suspicious, but I haven’t said a word to you.”

Dou Yaohui was immediately speechless.

"I think it's better to call the police first." Fan Xiaodan suddenly suggested, "Professional matters should be left to professionals."

"Yeah, it's useless for us to doubt each other here. We should call the police!" Gu Xiaoyun immediately spoke for his best friend and took out his mobile phone to call the police.

Zhao Xun did not stop him and watched quietly.

The call was quickly connected, and Gu Xiaoyun explained the situation.

After hanging up the phone, she told everyone: "The police will be here in a minute."

Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

I didn’t expect that there would be a police station in this dream game.

This time the side mission was to find the murderer, and he thought the background of the game would not include a police station.

If it is up to the players to find the murderer themselves, the difficulty will increase a lot.

With the participation of professionals like the police, the difficulty is not that high for players.

You can even wait until the police identify the murderer before the player kills the murderer.

This is originally a good thing, but lowering the difficulty will lead to fewer points earned, which is not entirely a good thing for Zhao Xun.

He glanced at Fan Xiaodan.

Fan Xiaodan was also observing Zhao Xun. When she saw Zhao Xun looking over, she did not change her gaze and just looked at him calmly.

Zhao Xun had three guesses about Fan Xiaodan's initiative to call the police.

One, she didn't get the same side quest.

Second, she doesn't care about how to get higher points. What she cares about is being able to complete tasks and pass the game, and try to avoid the possibility of repeating tasks and deducting points.

Three, as the murderer, in order to remove suspicion, she took the initiative to say that she should call the police.

Zhao Xun calmly looked away and said to the others: "Before the police arrive, let's talk about our respective professions."

"Why do you have to ask everyone about their occupation?" Liu Mei asked in a low voice.

She still looked down at the tableware in front of her, not daring to raise her head to look at anyone.

"Maybe you can tell something from your occupation," Zhao Xun said truthfully, "Anyway, after the police come, they have to ask questions routinely."

In this case, if he wants to ask casually or for other unrelated purposes, others will not believe it, so it is better to tell the truth directly.

Anyway, everyone can guess it.

Liu Mei nodded, but did not question anything. She took the initiative to answer: "I am a junior student."

Seeing Liu Mei's cooperation, Jiang Shuai also spoke: "I am a car mechanic."

"Don't just ask us," Dou Yaohui did not miss any opportunity to doubt Zhao Xun, "You haven't said what your profession is!"

"A white-collar worker from an ordinary company." Zhao Xun replied without changing his expression.

He didn't lie. Before boarding the endless train, his occupation was an ordinary white-collar job.

In the words of his adoptive parents, the more popular and ordinary the job, the easier it is for him to blend in and appear more like a normal person.

After speaking, he asked Dou Yaohui: "What about you?"

Dou Yaohui straightened his long hair and said with some pride: "He collects protection money from our boss."

Zhao Xun nodded clearly.

He's a bastard who doesn't do his job properly.

Of course, he didn't say this directly, so as not to irritate the other party and find endless troubles, which would affect his speed of collecting information.

The next few people cooperated in telling their respective professions.

Fan's mother is a housewife, Gu Xiaoyun is a salesperson of maternal and infant products, and Grandma Feng has retired long ago, and she usually manages the apartment with Grandpa Feng.

Fan Xiaodan was the only one who hadn't spoken yet.

Zhao Xun looked at Fan Xiaodan: "What about you? What is your occupation?"

"I'm a traffic policeman." Fan Xiaodan replied.

"Really?" Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, with undisguised suspicion in his eyes.

"Of course." Fan Xiaodan's tone was calm, but he had no intention of explaining more.

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Looking at the professionalism with which you examined Grandpa Feng's body just now, I thought you were a criminal police officer or a forensic doctor."

"I know a little basic knowledge." Fan Xiaodan looked tired, but he still answered the question patiently, "I don't understand more professional criminal investigation knowledge."

"Then how did you get selected to become a volunteer?" Zhao Xun suddenly asked, "There must be something special about you, right?"

If he had only suspected that Fan Xiaodan was the volunteer nicknamed "Silk Scarf" before, now he was basically sure.

On the one hand, Fan Xiaodan's appearance matches Shaozi's description of "silk scarf".

On the other hand, Fan Xiaodan’s profession makes it easier for him to be selected by the authorities.

Another one, Fan Xiaodan's eyes and face always showed a sense of boredom, as if living was very difficult and tiring.

This is also in line with what Shaozi said before. It is difficult for "Silk Scarf" to survive on the endless train, and there is no way to provide any help to Wu Wei's group of volunteers.

There were so many matching aspects that he finally asked the question.

Fan Xiaodan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and touched the light blue silk scarf around his neck.

"It seems that you asked someone for information about me." She was not surprised. She had already guessed how Zhao Xun knew her identity as a volunteer.

Her reaction undoubtedly admitted Zhao Xun's guess.

Before Zhao Xun spoke, Gu Xiaoyun couldn't help but said: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Volunteer, what kind of volunteer?"

Gu Xiaoyun turned around and asked Fan Xiaodan: "Did you go to any community to do charity?"

"Absolutely." Fan Xiaodan said perfunctorily, not intending to explain anything to an NPC.

"Listening to what you two just said, did you know each other when you were volunteers?" Gu Xiaoyun asked again.

Neither Zhao Xun nor Fan Xiaodan planned to answer, but at this moment Gu Xiaoyun's cell phone suddenly rang.

Gu Xiaoyun's attention was immediately diverted.

She frowned at the unfamiliar mobile phone number, but since there was no warning about spam calls or advertisements on it, she pressed the answer button.

After listening to the content of the phone call, her brows frowned even more tightly, and her face looked a little ugly.

"What's wrong?" Fan Xiaodan asked.

"The police just called me, saying that the only suspension bridge leading to our place has been destroyed, and they won't be able to get there for a while." Gu Xiaoyun's eyes showed uneasiness, "They said it would take two days to get there. Repair the bridge again and ask us to protect the scene and not destroy the evidence."

"The bridge...is destroyed?" Grandma Feng looked in disbelief, "That's the only road connecting our place to the outside!"

Others also complained.

From the words of these people, Zhao Xun pieced together a rough background.

These tenants all rented this apartment because it was cheap.

The reason why apartments are cheap is because of their remote location.

The apartment is located on the edge of the town, at the foot of a mountain, separated from the town by a long and fast river.

From here to the town, you can only take the only suspension bridge.

The bridge is broken, and their only way out is gone.

Most people would feel uneasy being isolated in such a dead place.

The police also said it would take two days to repair, which made them even more uneasy.

In fact, if such a problem occurs in reality, the police can call in a helicopter.

Whether it is to solve a case or to save people, this is not a waste of public resources.

Or you can send someone to repair the suspension bridge immediately, and you can create a passable road in a few hours.

But this is not reality.

Since the game says that it takes two days to repair the bridge, it means that this is a set limit of the game.

Although the police will arrive in two days and the player still has one day, they may not be able to find the murderer in one day.

What's more, people may die during this period, and players may also become the target of the murderer.

In the end, it is still up to the players to collect clues to find the murderer.

Sure enough, not letting the police get involved and asking players to find the murderer themselves is the standard feature of this kind of mystery game.

"Then what should we do now?" Liu Mei looked worried. "We can't destroy the evidence. Then the things on the dining table and Grandpa Feng... must remain as they are now?"

"You just took a lot of things on the table," Dou Yaohui accused Zhao Xun, and then accused Fan Xiaodan, "You also moved Grandpa Feng's body. Didn't this destroy the scene?"

"We saw with our own eyes when Grandpa Feng died, and I can confirm that he was poisoned. Moving his position will not affect the judgment of his death time and cause." Fan Xiaodan said calmly.

Zhao Xun directly ignored Dou Yaohui's words and turned to look at the others: "The police arrived late. We can't do nothing during this period, so I hope you will tell us your respective actions this morning."

Seeing that Dou Yaohui was about to speak again, Zhao Xun said first: "The suspension bridge was destroyed, and the possibility of man-made damage is very high. We need to determine who has time to commit the crime."

Dou Yaohui's mouth that he just opened was closed.

Zhao Xun continued: "Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng just went out to buy groceries this morning. They must have walked across the suspension bridge, so the time when the suspension bridge was destroyed was after they came back. Grandma Feng, do you still remember the specific time you came back?" ?”

"I remember," Grandma Feng blurted out without even recalling, "it was half past eight when the old man and I came back."

"Remember so clearly?" Fan Xiaodan was a little confused.

"I'm used to looking at the clock in the living room when I enter the house." Grandma Feng replied.

"Then after you walk across the suspension bridge, how long does it usually take to walk to the door of the apartment?" Zhao Xun asked again.

"We two old people have slow legs and feet, so it will take us about twenty minutes to walk." Grandma Feng said, subconsciously turning her head and looking at her side.

Seeing the empty seats, she realized that her old man was dead.

A habit developed as a couple over the years, she would always look at her old man when talking.

But from today on, she will never see it again.

Grandma Feng's eyes were filled with tears, and she said tremblingly: "Who are you, who killed my old man? Why did you do this?"

She still can't believe that her old man died like this.

They obviously still have ten or twenty years to enjoy their old age, but now everything is ruined.

Everyone was a little silent, and they didn't know how to comfort Grandma Feng for a while.

It was quiet for a few minutes, but Zhao Xun was the first to speak.

"That is to say, when Grandma Feng finished walking across the suspension bridge, it was almost ten past eight." Zhao Xun drew everyone's attention back, "So after eight ten, where are everyone, what are they doing? Whatever, tell me."

"No, Zhao Xun, Grandma Feng is so sad, and you don't express anything at all?" Dou Yaohui looked at Zhao Xun in disbelief, "You are too cold-blooded."

"I'm trying to find a way to find the murderer. Isn't this more useful than talking about the situation?" Zhao Xun chuckled, but his eyes were a little cold, "Dou Yaohui, you have been pointing the finger at me, forcing me to suspect that you did it on purpose. "

"What do you mean?" Dou Yaohui's face darkened, "Speak clearly."

"Don't waste everyone's time." Zhao Xun waved his hand, "Since you care about Grandma Feng so much, you should cooperate with me to find the murderer as soon as possible."

After a pause, he continued: "How about starting with you and telling me where you were and what you were doing before?"

After Zhao Xun finished speaking, everyone looked at Dou Yaohui with a look of scrutiny on their faces.

Dou Yaohui's expression froze.

He understood that Zhao Xun's words undoubtedly put him on a high ground. If he did not cooperate at this time, he would be suspected of being the murderer.

"I go out for a morning run when I get up in the morning. I go out around seven o'clock." Dou Yaohui answered the question honestly for the first time, "After the morning run, I walked slowly towards the apartment and did some stretching exercises. I happened to meet Grandma Feng and Grandpa Feng at the door of the apartment. Seeing that they had bought a lot of things, I helped them move their things to the kitchen."

"Do you run in the morning every day?" Zhao Xun suddenly asked.

"Of course, everyone who lives here knows that I run for an hour in the morning every day." Dou Yaohui said while looking at the others expectantly.

"Yes, we old tenants all know about this." Jiang Shuai nodded, confirming what Dou Yaohui said.

Dou Yaohui's face looked better when he saw someone speaking for him.

He said to Zhao Xun with some pride: "I told the truth. I ran in the morning at seven o'clock, finished at eight o'clock, and then walked back slowly. I happened to meet Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng. There is no problem with the time."

"But you have time to commit crimes between eight o'clock and eight-thirty." Fan Xiaodan said, "And you are outside for a morning jog. It is easier than others to get close to the suspension bridge."

"You actually doubt me?" Dou Yaohui's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that he would be regarded as a suspect.

"This is just a reasonable suspicion." Fan Xiaodan said calmly, "Unless you have witnesses and physical evidence that can prove that you did not go near the suspension bridge in the half hour between eight and eight thirty, anyone has the right to hold you accountable. Doubtful."

"I...where can I find witnesses and evidence?" Dou Yaohui rolled his eyes at Fan Xiaodan angrily.

This place was sparsely populated, and there was no way he would meet passers-by.

And every time he goes for a morning run, he does it alone, never taking anyone else in the apartment with him.

There is no surveillance equipment in this apartment, let alone in the wilderness outside.

How could he possibly find witnesses and physical evidence?

"Don't get excited. It's not like I've identified you as the murderer." Fan Xiaodan said perfunctorily. Then she looked at Gu Xiaoyun beside her and asked, "You can be the second one to tell me."

Dou Yaohui, who originally wanted to argue for himself, suddenly had no chance to speak.

Apparently Fan Xiaodan also discovered that Dou Yaohui would talk endlessly once he had a chance to speak, but most of them were nonsense.

What a waste of time.

So she followed Zhao Xun's example and changed the topic directly, without giving Dou Yaohui a chance to complain.

Gu Xiaoyun was more cooperative than Dou Yaohui. She explained her situation in great detail: "Aunt Fan and I both got up around eight o'clock. After washing up, we went downstairs to make breakfast together. I just put the previous After putting the sandwiches he bought in the evening and heating them up in the microwave, Dou Yaohui carried the ingredients into the kitchen, followed by Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng."

Having said this, she looked at Fan's mother: "At that time, Aunt Fan was frying poached eggs in the kitchen, and we all said hello to Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng."

"Yes, Xiaoyun is right." Mother Fan nodded, "We live in the same room. After getting up, we went to the bathroom to wash up together, and then went to the kitchen together. We were never separated the whole time."

Zhao Xun and Fan Xiaodan listened without saying anything.

What these two people are talking about now is consistent with what Grandma Feng said before.

After Gu Xiaoyun finished speaking, Zhao Xun asked, "Then what did you do after breakfast?"

"Go back to the room and watch TV." Gu Xiaoyun said with a smile, "My job is a shift system, and today it is my turn to take a break. It is rare to have this free time, so of course I have to catch up on dramas."

"Are you watching TV until lunch before leaving the room?" Zhao Xun asked again.

"Yes," Gu Xiaoyun looked at Fan Xiaodan, "Xiaodan was with me, she can vouch for me."

Fan Xiaodan was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Her settings in the game are somewhat different from Zhao Xun.

According to the game setting, she did not just move into the apartment today, but has lived there for a month.

In other words, in the memories of Fan's mother and Gu Xiaoyun, she lived with them this month.

But in fact, she only entered this dream game today, so naturally she would not know what happened before.

Gu Xiaoyun asked her to testify, but she couldn't do it at all.

As for whether the plot Gu Xiaoyun mentioned was the true situation set by the game or whether Gu Xiaoyun was lying, Fan Xiaodan had no way of judging.

Zhao Xun obviously understood this, and it was definitely useless to ask Fan Xiaodan, but Gu Xiaoyun had said so, and he could not hastily question Gu Xiaoyun's words without anyone else refuting.

So he turned to look at Fan's mother: "So Aunt Fan, what are you doing after breakfast?"

"Make breakfast for my daughter." Fan's mother showed a loving smile to Fan Xiaodan, "She works hard, and she worked the night shift yesterday. I didn't want to disturb her, so I let her sleep a little longer and came down to make breakfast."

"After breakfast was ready, I served it to Xiaodan, and then let her go back to sleep." Mother Fan said, then turned to look at Grandma Feng, "I carried the dinner plate down to wash it, and I met her who was busy in the kitchen. Lao Feng and his wife are washing vegetables."

"That's the case." Grandma Feng nodded.

With Grandma Feng’s confirmation, the second half of what Mother Fan said should be the truth.

But Fan Xiaodan is also unable to judge the authenticity of the passage in the middle.

Zhao Xun asked Liu Mei again: "Liu Mei, tell me about your situation."

"Due to my poor health, I took a month off and haven't been to school for half a month." Liu Mei pinched the corner of her clothes and spoke softly, "Because I have been resting at home during this time. , I lived day and night upside down, and I had to sleep until about ten o'clock every day before I could get up."

"When I went to the kitchen to get the fresh milk I bought before for breakfast, I saw Grandpa Feng and Grandma Feng washing vegetables. I chatted with them for half an hour before returning to my room." After saying that, Liu Mei looked up One glance at Zhao Xun and quickly lowered his head.

He looked like he didn't dare to look at strangers.

"What are you doing in the room?" Zhao Xun asked.

"Make up classes and study by yourself." Liu Mei replied, "I took too long to take leave. If I don't study by myself, I won't be able to keep up with the progress when I go to school."

"During this period, you never came out once?" Fan Xiaodan asked.

"No, I have been out." Liu Mei glanced at Jiang Shuai, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, "I...I went out to relax."

Zhao Xun keenly caught Liu Mei's expression. He looked at Jiang Shuai: "Are you two together?"

Jiang Shuai looked surprised: "You can guess this?"

Zhao Xun: "..."

Liu Mei acted so obviously just now, even a fool can see it.

"Oh, I won't hide it from you. I have been chasing Xiaomei for a while, and she just agreed to date me a week ago." Jiang Shuai chuckled, with a slightly proud expression on his face, "We are in love~ we must talk about it together. It’s all about love~”
