Chapter 396

"This is really interesting." Su Bai did not expect that the reason why he could be eliminated by Diana as a suspect was because of this. But soon, Su Bai said, "This doesn't make sense.

"That doesn't make sense. According to what you said, the deceased, Simon, died in the afternoon, but the old butler called everyone for dinner. The nine of us sat in the same position every day. If one of us was missing during dinner, everyone should have noticed it at that time."

Diana smiled and said, "I know you've already put yourself in the perspective of an ordinary person, but there are some things that are beyond the scope of an ordinary person. For example, what happened at the dinner table. It's not unusual for one person to play the role of two people."

"Camouflage?"

"Camouflage? Is that what you people in China call it? I'm more inclined to call it blurred vision. " Diana reached out and gently rubbed the notebook. "In fact, it's not difficult to prove this. We only need to simulate the dinner scene. This method should be very easy to identify the direct suspect, but if it was only to identify the suspect, it would not be enough to get enough convincing evidence.

At least, in the eyes of others, even if I take the initiative to lead the investigation, I still can't gain the trust of others. Everyone is not so simple. I guess many people will think that I'm just deliberately being high-profile and sincere to clear my suspicion. "

"You think too much. Don't forget, we have two votes now. What you need to do now is just to get two more people, or three more people, and that will be enough."

"You're being perfunctory. You people in China sometimes seem very hypocritical. I can guarantee that even now, even if I give you so much trust and warmth, even if I take the initiative to remove your identity as the first suspect and take the responsibility myself, you still don't fully believe me.

Besides, that's not the way to comfort someone. Among the eight people, one of them is the murderer, and the murderer won't vote for himself. One of them is me, and I won't vote for myself. That leaves six people. You and I can't be sure, so I have to make sure that I get four more people. The difficulty is twice as high as the two people you mentioned. "

Su Bai did not dwell on the issue of "trust" for too long. Instead, he changed the topic. "The problem now is, when did this note appear?"

"After dinner," Diana said with certainty. "I can be sure that when I left the room to go downstairs for dinner, this note didn't appear in the room."

"That is to say, the murderer took the initiative to kill without giving a motive in the broadcast?"

"In fact, even if the absolute motive wasn't given, it wouldn't affect the killing, because everyone knew what the broadcast wanted to see in the villa trapped in the storm. Just like in the real world, many listeners know what they should do to get the broadcast's favor even if they didn't receive the broadcast. This is also applicable in the story world.

However, this murderer is obviously much more decisive than us. He had the confidence to make the first move when he didn't see any absolute benefits. In fact, he might have been preparing since the first day he came here. "

"Can confirm those alibis in the gym?" Bai asked.

"No, because there are a lot of cubicles in the gym, and there are showers and rest areas. It's not just a few people training there for the whole afternoon. Excluding you and me, there are six people who have the chance to kill someone."

"After going around in circles for so long, your investigation seems to have yielded nothing?"

Diana admitted, but she didn't seem to panic at all. "Actually, as I said earlier, there's no need to be so meticulous in some investigations. If we reenact the situation at dinner, we should be able to guess who the suspect is, but I lack enough evidence." "Well, for the time being," Diana admitted, but she didn't seem to panic at all. "Actually, as I said just now, there's no need to be so meticulous in some investigations. We should be able to guess who the suspect is by reenacting the situation at dinner, but I lack enough evidence."

"Are you worried about alerting the enemy?"

"No, I'm just worried about the murderer's mentality. We've all killed a lot of people, that's an undeniable fact. But if the murderer's mentality is very scary, if he really sinks down and treats himself as an ordinary murderer, then it'll be difficult to get the evidence I want with what I'm preparing now."

As she spoke, Diana shook a black bottle in her hand. It seemed to contain some powder-like substance.

"What's this?"

"Hardcore fan, this villa has its own storage room. One of the storage rooms is specially used to store some ordinary medicine and first-aid medicine. I discovered this place on the first day I came here."

"Yes." Su Bai nodded. Naturally, he had also checked this place.

"But the owner of the Zhao Villa seems to be a person who believes in traditional Chinese medicine. That small pharmacy not only has western medicine, but also a lot of traditional Chinese medicine. Hardcore fan is actually stored as part of the traditional Chinese medicine. 'Skill Prescription': Hardcore fan, not only can it calm the heart, but it can also suppress the evil in the liver. If one is too angry and the evil in the liver is too strong, hardcore fan can subdue it. "

It seemed that after seeing Hillston's Eastern swordsmanship and Taiji techniques, Su Bai was already immune to the fact that these foreigners were more knowledgeable about ancient Chinese culture than he was. He didn't bother about how Diana could recite such a rare ancient medical book. Instead, he asked, "Hardcore fan, is it used to find fingerprints?"

"Yes, fingerprints," Diana confirmed.

This was a powder appearance method. By choosing a metal or non-metal powder that had a greater color contrast with the surface of the object, and taking advantage of the low adhesion of fingerprints, colorless fingerprints could be turned into colored fingerprints. The method of operation was to dip a soft brush in a little powder and gently flick the brush handle to evenly scatter the powder on the fingerprints. Then, the colorless fingerprints could be turned into colored fingerprints.

"Piano." Su Bai said these two words decisively. "Since the murderer placed Simon's body in the piano, when he lifted the piano stand, his fingers should have touched that position. If I'm not mistaken, there should be fingerprints of both mine and the murderer's."

This was because when Su Bai found the body, he had also opened the piano stand.

Diana shook her head. "Under these conditions, taking fingerprints is the best we can do now. DNA testing like the PCR machine is obviously unrealistic. However, since the murderer killed before the broadcast notification was sent, and in order to confuse the public and obscure the time of death of the deceased, he used a smokescreen at dinner, which increased the difficulty of the investigation that might start later. Then, I don't think the murderer would not take precautions when he killed." "That's right.

For example, he put on gloves, or did the finishing work himself. If the murderer really did this, then he would be much better at putting himself in the shoes of an ordinary person than you. "Diana shook her head.

Su Bai sat on a chair in the gym and asked, "Can you confirm the time of Simon's death?"

"I'm a necromancer." Diana looked at Su Bai and actually revealed her identity directly. "My research and understanding of corpses, even if I'm an ordinary person now, is still not comparable to you. I can even be more certain about the time of death, for example, before or after three o 'clock in the afternoon."

"At that time, it can be confirmed that the broadcast did not send a notice, and the murderer killed in advance on his own initiative. But according to what you said, the murderer is very likely to have targeted the target on the first day, and has been planning all along. At three o 'clock this afternoon, he succeeded in killing Simon. Then, why did he use a smokescreen during dinner?"

"This is also the point that I still can't figure out." Diana said, "At present, it should be to confuse the public and cover up the loophole of his alibi at that time."

Su Bai reached out and touched his chin. At this moment, his thoughts and feelings seemed to slowly return to the time when he set up the Murder Club. How did he feel before, during, and after killing someone?

Diana's eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, she seemed to feel that Su Bai, who was sitting in front of her, was a complete murderer. That kind of temperament and feeling was the feeling of an ordinary person, the feeling of an ordinary murderer.

It seemed that..,

Everyone was a person with a story.

"No, the murderer is not trying to confuse the public or create an alibi." A smile appeared on the corner of Su Bai's mouth as he said, "Because even if you investigate according to the time of death of the deceased that you have already determined, who has a strong enough alibi? Other than me and yourself, who you trust. You just said that the alibis of the six people can't stand up to scrutiny and confirmation. Since that's the case, why would the murderer come to such a dinner? "

"So, what's your conclusion?"

"Hehe." Su Bai smiled and then said in a very gloomy tone, "This bunch of stupid people. They clearly know in their hearts that this time in the story world is to kill people, but they are all waiting for the broadcast notice.

They have already guessed the rules of this story world, but they still dare not take this step.

I killed the person, but you guys didn't realize it. Since you guys are so stupid, then I will accompany you … to play … "

Diana stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She was a little surprised because Su Bai was now simulating the mentality of the murderer to write a psychological profile.

"So, in your opinion, what the murderer did at the dinner …"

"A narcissistic stroke." Su Bai paused and continued, "It's a kind of superfluous painting of a snake."

"It seems that you have found the answer." Diana took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, took out two, and lit them together between her red lips. Then, she passed one of the cigarettes to Su Bai.

Su Bai took the cigarette and took a puff.

"I can even guess who the murderer is. Such a good feeling and thick pretentious manner, why does it feel so familiar …"
