Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

"It's up to you." Dou Yaohui was the first to express his stance.

Fan Xiaodan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Dou Yaohui, who had been so thorny before, to suddenly become so cooperative.

She subconsciously looked at Zhao Xun and asked with her eyes.

Zhao Xun shrugged and did not explain anything.

Fan Xiaodan did not ask any more questions, and instead said: "Every room needs to be searched carefully, every corner is not spared, your things will be turned over, and there is no guarantee that your privacy will not be touched, do you have any opinions? ?”

Everyone looked at each other with a somewhat reluctant expression.

But in the end no one raised any objections.

"Then Zhao Xun and I will separate and become the leaders of the two groups." Fan Xiaodan added, "I will be in charge of the second floor and Zhao Xun will be in charge of the third floor."

"No problem." Zhao Xun agreed readily.

Then he added: "In order to avoid suspicion, it is best for everyone not to search their own rooms, so I suggest that those who live on the second floor go to the third floor with me, and those who live on the third floor search the second floor with Fan Xiaodan."

"That's right." Fan Xiaodan looked at Fan's mother and Gu Xiaoyun, then at Liu Mei and Dou Yaohui, "But with this arrangement, I will have five people here, and you will only have three left."

The people she looked at, including herself, all lived on the third floor.

She, Fan's mother, and Gu Xiaoyun lived in the largest room, while Liu Mei and Dou Yaohui lived alone in the other two rooms.

There were three people living in her room, so there was one more person on the third floor than on the second floor.

Grandpa Feng, who lived on the second floor, died, and there were even fewer people on the second floor.

According to this situation, Zhao Xun only has himself plus Jiang Shuai and Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang is older, her eyesight is not as good, and her movements are not as flexible as young people. Naturally, the efficiency of searching the room is much lower.

As a result, the search speed on the third floor will definitely be very slow.

"That's easy," Zhao Xun pointed at Dou Yaohui, "Dou Yaohui team up with me, but when we search his room, he just needs to stay outside the door and not participate."

"Why me?" Dou Yaohui was a little confused.

He didn't mean to deliberately go against Zhao Xun this time, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xun would choose to team up with him after his previous attitude towards Zhao Xun was so bad.

"Because you are the only one among the remaining people." Zhao Xun chuckled, "You won't say that I am only interested in men just because I choose you, right?"

Dou Yaohui choked. He knew that Zhao Xun was trying to retaliate against him. He said before that Zhao Xun only let Fan Xiaodan search him because he only wanted women to get close to him.

He scratched his face in embarrassment and said nothing.

"Then let's do it." Fan Xiaodan said decisively, "When searching the room, everyone should supervise each other, just in case the murderer takes the opportunity to do something small."

Everyone was silent for a while. Although their faces were a little unhappy, no one raised any objections.

They don't want their privacy to be seen, but they don't want to be suspected.

If the suspicion can be cleared, if searching the room can directly identify the murderer, then all of them can relax and no longer need to question each other.

Thinking of this, everyone endured the unhappiness in their hearts.

So the grouping was successful, and Fan Xiaodan's team entered Zhao Xun's room first.

Zhao Xun's team went up to the third floor and opened the room closest to the stairs.

The room belonging to Liu Mei.

Residents do not lock their rooms until they leave the apartment, and can easily open the door by turning the door handle.

Liu Mei's room is very clean and tidy, and there is a faint fragrance in the whole room.

It fits the impression she gives people very well.

"Except for suspicious items, try to find other things and put them back in their place." Zhao Xun told the three people around him and took the initiative to walk into the room.

What he chose to search was the desk.

Grandma Feng searched the wardrobe, Jiang Shuai searched the dressing table, and Dou Yaohui searched the bed and bedside table.

Liu Mei is still a student. Except for a laptop, her desk is full of books, paper and pens.

Zhao Xun first opened the desk drawer and carefully rummaged through everything.

He was not sure what he was looking for specifically. After all, it was unknown what the murderer used to pack the poison and what he used to put the poison into the milk bucket.

The usual ones are glass bottles and needles, but other unexpected items were probably used as substitutes in order to hide them.

Those that can be disassembled or disguised are less likely to attract attention.

In order not to miss possible evidence, he had to look at everything very carefully.

While checking, he organized his thoughts in his mind.

During the dinner party, he once doubted Grandma Feng.

Because Grandma Feng had brought him food many times, and she seemed to want to watch him eat it before she would look away.

But there was nothing wrong with the food. The first person to die was Grandpa Feng. After Grandpa Feng died, Grandma Feng's behavior did not look like a murderer.

However, if Grandma Feng is a master of acting, it would not be difficult to show her heartbreak.

So the reason he finally determined that she was not the murderer was that she didn't have time to destroy the suspension bridge.

Unless she destroyed the suspension bridge after walking across it after returning from shopping for groceries.

But if that is the case, there will definitely be a sound when the bridge is broken, and Grandpa Feng will not be unable to hear it.

Even if Grandpa Feng didn't know how the suspension bridge was broken, he would tell everyone when he came back.

He didn't say anything, which proved that the suspension bridge was not broken when he left the vicinity of it.

What's more, with Grandma Feng's physique and strength, it would be difficult to damage the suspension bridge in an instant, even with the help of tools.

If she really did this, she wouldn't be able to hide it from her fellow travelers.

Let’s put it another way.

If Grandpa Feng, who was traveling with him, was also the murderer, and he and Grandma Feng were covering for each other, it would have been possible for them to directly destroy the suspension bridge after crossing it.

Anyway, no one knows exactly when they returned to the suspension bridge.

When you arrive at the apartment, write down the time you arrived at the apartment, and then calculate it based on the usual time it takes to reach the apartment from the suspension bridge. Then you can lie and tell a false arrival time at the suspension bridge.

But if this was really the case, Grandma Feng would not choose to kill Grandpa Feng first.

The old man's physical strength, reaction ability, and speed are not as good as when he was young. If he really wants to kill someone, it will be more advantageous to have an assistant than to act alone.

Even if Grandma Feng doesn't consider helping and insists on killing her accomplice as soon as possible, Grandpa Feng, as an accomplice, must have other goals.

The poison can't just be in the milk.

Then at least two people died during the dinner party.

The possibility that Grandpa Feng was an accomplice was ruled out, and Grandma Feng was unable to quickly destroy the suspension bridge in front of Grandpa Feng alone.

After Grandma Feng returned to the apartment, she never left the apartment again.

She was never alone during the whole journey, and there was always someone by her side, which proved the fact that she never left.

This also rules out the suspicion that Grandma Feng is the murderer from all aspects.

Zhao Xun's second suspect was Dou Yaohui.

Dou Yaohui has been pointing the finger at Zhao Xun and strongly opposed body searches and room searches. Everyone will suspect that he has something up his sleeve.

He was always noisy, as if he was going to have a big quarrel with someone at any time. During the entire cross-examination process, he was the one who talked the most.

In addition, he went back to his room after helping Grandma Feng move the ingredients to the kitchen, and never came out again after that.

He spent a lot of time alone in his room, which meant he had plenty of opportunities to sneak out and sabotage the suspension bridge without anyone seeing him.

He had plenty of time, yet he never cooperated with the investigation and always tried to divert others' attention.

He's so suspicious.

But judging from the rules in conventional detective games, suspects who appear too obvious are often not the murderers.

However, the possibility of doing the opposite cannot be ruled out.

This may be Dou Yaohui's way of diverting other people's attention, or it may be that he is stubborn and only stares at Zhao Xun because he suspects that there is something wrong with Zhao Xun.

At present, Dou Yaohui is more like the latter.

As a social idle gangster, he is usually only responsible for fighting. It is normal to have a bad temper and a straight mind.

As long as Dou Yaohui has some IQ, he should be a little boss at this age.

A person with brains cannot always be the one at the bottom no matter what environment he is in.

But Dou Yaohui is still just an ordinary gangster, which shows that his brain is indeed average.

And such people with simple minds and well-developed limbs, even if they commit crimes, will often choose simpler and more direct methods, such as stabbing to death without using too much brain.

All these factors made Zhao Xun feel that the possibility of Dou Yaohui being the murderer was low.

However, the suspicion of Dou Yaohui cannot be completely ruled out for the time being and can only be listed as pending.

Among the rest of those...

Liu Mei didn't speak much throughout the whole process, acting silent and introverted.

She didn't even dare to look at people when she was talking.

Maybe he is really timid and introverted, or maybe he wants to better hide his emotions and prevent others from seeing anything wrong.

Her biggest suspicion was the half-hour date with Jiang Shuai.

Of course, if she has suspicions, then Jiang Shuai must also have suspicions.

The grove where Liu Mei and Jiang Shuai were dating was not very close to the suspension bridge, and it would take at least ten minutes to go back and forth - this was the answer Zhao Xun got from asking Jiang Shuai.

It was impossible for one of them to leave for ten minutes without attracting the attention of the other.

But they were both convinced that they had never been separated in the woods. Either these two people were innocent, or they were the murderers who committed the crime together.

Also, they both entered the kitchen front and back and stayed in the kitchen for half an hour, giving them many opportunities to poison.

Plus no one could testify during the half hour of the date that they actually went to the woods.

These two people are actually quite suspicious.

As for Fan's mother and Gu Xiaoyun... I can't see anything yet.

Both of them have Fan Xiaodan in their timelines, but Fan Xiaodan entered the dream game at the same time as Zhao Xun.

This means that Fan Xiaodan doesn't know whether they lied.

Once Fan Xiaodan's timeline is falsified, Fan's mother and Gu Xiaoyun will have enough time to destroy the suspension bridge.

Both of them also stayed in the kitchen for a while, and during that time, Grandma Feng and Grandpa Feng were not around. If one of them wanted to poison, it would be easier than others.

As for Fan Xiaodan, she is the only one who may have used special means to poison, so her suspicion is not small.

It is also very common in games for two players to have a hostile relationship with each other.

She has always been very active in trying to find the murderer, or it may be that the thief is shouting to catch the thief, and she uses her positive reaction to dispel other people's suspicion of her.

The only thing that can prove that she may not be the murderer is that she only entered the game at 12 noon. Logically speaking, she would not have time to destroy the suspension bridge.

Unless in the game setting, she had destroyed the drawbridge before that.

In other words, she didn't do it herself, but her character had already done it in terms of setting.

After all, in the game settings, she has been staying for a month, and even watching TV with Gu Xiaoyun in the morning has been set, so it is not impossible to set her to destroy the suspension bridge in advance.

At present, except for Grandma Feng, no one is completely free from suspicion.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Xun's movements suddenly stopped.

Then he reached into the bottom drawer of his desk.

There's nothing special there, just some comic books.

But when he pushed and pulled the drawer, he always felt that there were some obstacles, but the height of these books was shorter than the drawer, so it should not hinder the pushing and pulling of the drawer.

He reached deep inside and immediately felt something cold on the back of his hand.

He groped upwards with his palm, and sure enough he found a small thing on the top of the drawer.

It seems to be stuck on it with glue. The adhesive force is very strong, and it is not easy to use force at this angle, so it is a little difficult to peel it off for a while.

He looked up at the table, took out a knife from the pen holder, and pried off the gadget.

He put the knife back in its place, and then reached out and took out the thing he had pried off.

It is a very small glass bottle, only half the size of your thumb. The body of the bottle is not round, but flat, so it will not fall off easily when attached to the top of the drawer.

There is a soft rubber stopper stuck in the mouth of the bottle, which is very tight and will not leak even if it is turned sideways or upside down.

Zhao Xun took the bottle to the sun and looked at it carefully.

The bottle is now empty, but there is still a little liquid left in it.

The liquid is pure and transparent without any color and looks just like water.

But the bottle was hidden in such a hidden place, making it difficult to believe that the liquid inside was just residual water stains.

At this moment, Fan Xiaodan's call suddenly came from downstairs: "Zhao Xun, come here quickly."

The other three people in the room stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun took the small glass bottle and walked out, saying to the other three people: "Let's go down and take a look."

The three people stood up immediately and followed Zhao Xun downstairs.

When they reached the second floor, they discovered that Fan Xiaodan and four others had already gone to the second room.

This is not surprising. Zhao Xun just moved in today, and the game settings only configured him with a suitcase and nothing else.

There were few things in the house, so the search was naturally quick.

The second room belongs to Jiang Shuai.

At this moment, Fan Xiaodan was standing at the door of Jiang Shuai's room, holding a powerful forceps as long as an arm in her hand.

"This was found under Jiang Shuai's bed." When she said this, she looked at Jiang Shuai carefully.

"What?" Jiang Shuai was confused, "Is there this thing under my bed?"

"It's not just placed under the bed." Fan Xiaodan added, "It's tied to the bottom of the bed board with fishing lines, and it's tied in the middle of the bed board. If you just look in from the outside, you won't be able to find it at all."

"Then how did you find out?" Zhao Xun asked curiously.

"I didn't want to miss every detail, so I got under the bed." Fan Xiaodan answered truthfully, "Even so, I almost missed it. After all, I was lying on my stomach when I got under the bed, and I habitually looked down. And this powerful forceps is flat and not particularly protruding, so it won't catch my clothes at all. Plus, the light under the bed is dim, making it even harder to notice."

Before Zhao Xun could ask again, Fan Xiaodan took the initiative and said: "I used my mobile phone to light up the light, and I felt a slight reflection on the top. Then I looked up and discovered this."

"Hiding it so deeply does arouse suspicion." Zhao Xun also looked at Jiang Shuai.

"What are you suspicious of?" Jiang Shuai looked unhappy. "Don't forget, I'm a car mechanic. It's normal to have tools like powerful pliers... but I don't remember when I brought this thing back."

When he said the last sentence, his expression was a little confused.

"As a car mechanic, it's normal for you to have powerful pliers, but it's not normal for you to take the powerful pliers home. There are no cars here that need you to repair." Zhao Xun's tone was calm, but everything he said was correct. Jiang Shuai questioned, "Besides, it was tied up with fishing line and hidden under the bed board. If you don't have any ulterior motives, why do you hide it so secretly?"

"That's right." Gu Xiaoyun also spoke, "Our suspension bridge is hung with iron locks, and your powerful pliers can cut it."

Jiang Shuai's face completely fell: "Are you suspecting that I am the murderer?"

"I'm not just doubting you." Zhao Xun said, taking out the small glass bottle in his hand, "This is something I found in Liu Mei's room. It was hidden in the bottom of the drawer at the bottom of the desk. Sticky to the top.”

Fan Xiaodan's expression became a little serious: "It's the same as Jiang Shuai's situation. If it's just an ordinary bottle, why should it be hidden and hidden so secretly?"

When she asked this question, her eyes turned to Liu Mei.

"I've never seen this bottle before," Liu Mei said with a face full of astonishment, "I swear this is definitely not my bottle, I don't have such a thing at all."

"But I found it in your room." Zhao Xun also looked at Liu Mei.

"Maybe it was left by the previous tenant?" Liu Mei asked others for help in a panic, "This is really not my bottle. I have never seen this thing before."

"You panicked a little too early." Zhao Xun smiled, "This is just an empty bottle. Although there is a little liquid left in it, we haven't confirmed whether the liquid is the cyanide that poisoned Grandpa Feng (anti-shielding). ) Hua Wu. At this time, your reaction was so intense, which only made me doubt you even more."

"Show me." Fan Xiaodan stretched out his hand to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun did not refuse, put the glass bottle into Fan Xiaodan's hand, and said at the same time: "Show me the powerful forceps too."

Fan Xiaodan readily handed the powerful pliers in his hand to Zhao Xun.

Then she carefully uncorked the bottle, fanned it gently and smelled it from a distance.

Then she frowned: "There is a faint smell of bitter almonds, it should be cyanide (anti-shielding) compound."

At the same time, Zhao Xun also spoke: "There are traces of wear on both sides of the jaws of this powerful pliers, and there are two places of wear on each side. The length of the four wears is the same, much like cutting the jaws on a suspension bridge. Caused by chains.”

The iron chain on the suspension bridge is made up of iron rings. If you want to cut such iron rings, the jaws will easily leave four signs of wear.

"Are you doubting us two?" Jiang Shuai was a little angry, "You can't convict us just because of the things you found in our room, right? What if this is a way for the murderer to frame the blame?"

"Yes... that's right." Liu Mei defended herself in a low voice, "That thing may have been secretly put in my room by the murderer. I really have never seen such a bottle."

"Then you were already nervous before you were sure there was poison in the bottle. This is too suspicious!" Gu Xiaoyun muttered.

"Suddenly I found something in my room that didn't belong to me. It was specially hidden. You don't have to think about it to know that it's not good." Liu Mei said aggrievedly, "I'm nervous because I'm afraid you will misunderstand me."

"It's of little use if you say this now," Fan's mother sighed. She looked at Liu Mei with a complicated look. She didn't know whether to believe that Liu Mei was wronged or to believe the evidence in front of her. "You and Jiang Shuai The half hour you spent on a date was enough to destroy the suspension bridge, and you both went to the kitchen and had time to poison. In addition, the tools and poison for destroying the suspension bridge were found in your room respectively. This... I insist on saying that you He is innocent, this is unjustifiable!”

"Aunt Fan, are you now suspecting that Xiaomei and I are collaborating in committing crimes?" Jiang Shuai was so handsome that he couldn't say a word smoothly and stuttered several times.

"This is obvious," Dou Yaohui also interjected, "You two are the most suspicious now."

While several people were arguing, Zhao Xun's eyes stayed on the tip of the jaws.

In addition to the signs of wear, there is a strange mark the size of a sesame seed on the left tip of the pliers.

It doesn't look like it's worn, but it looks like it's been carved into it.

But it’s really hard to tell what these three crooked horizontal lines are.

It's more like a few scratches made by a child.

But this powerful pliers is almost certainly a tool used to destroy the suspension bridge. Will there be a few random scratches on such an evidence?

After thinking about it, Zhao Xun said to Fan Xiaodan: "Show me the bottle. I just found it and went downstairs. I haven't looked at it carefully yet."

After that, he handed the powerful pliers to Fan Xiaodan.

Fan Xiaodan exchanged the evidence neatly.

Zhao Xun looked at the bottle carefully, looking at the bottom and mouth of the bottle, but did not see any strange marks.

Did he think too much?

Thinking like this, Zhao Xun subconsciously opened the cork.

There are no marks on the inside of the bottle mouth.

Bottle stopper...

Zhao Xun's eyes narrowed slightly.

On the inside of the cork, in the very center of the recess, there is also a trace the size of a sesame seed.

It has three crooked horizontal stripes that are exactly the same as those on the powerful pliers.
