Chapter 439

Lucy stood up abruptly. As the saying goes, the more you experience, the calmer you become, the more experienced you become. The experiences of the listeners were things that were unimaginable to the average person. Therefore, even if the majority of the listeners did not deliberately train, nor did they need to learn anything about psychology, they would be able to maintain a poker face. Of course, the prerequisite was that the listener was not an experiencer or a low-level listener who had just become a listener not long ago.

And Lucy obviously did not belong to this category. When the broadcast assigned the participants of the story world, it was rare for them to foolishly put experiencers and high-level listeners in the same batch. So, Lucy was at least an ordinary listener. However, in Su Bai's opinion, she should be one of the more outstanding ones even among the veterans.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to make all the preparations in such a short time and steal Simon's corpse as soon as it appeared to refine a zombie.

Both her ability and mentality showed how outstanding she was.

Yes.

Su Bai already knew who was refining zombies. Because the day before yesterday, when Hills was still wandering around leisurely even though he was discovered to be the murderer, Su Bai had encountered Lucy at close range twice in the restaurant and on the stairs on the second floor.

Even though she deliberately used the smell of perfume and shower gel to cover it up, Su Bai could still clearly smell the corpse aura emitting from her body.

Corpse aura.

Su Bai was too familiar with this thing. In the Land of Proving Dao, Su Bai's only source of energy and even survival was the corpse aura in the Yellow Springs. Refining corpse aura to replenish oneself was the same as eating to replenish energy.

It was no exaggeration to say that to Su Bai, corpse aura was equivalent to a painter's paint or a blacksmith's furnace fire.

However, what Su Bai did not expect was that this woman, Lucy, would actually aim the refined zombie at him. She actually used the zombie to kill him!

This was completely out of Su Bai's expectations. Su Bai was still planning his plans while waiting for an opportunity. If Lucy used the zombie to kill him, then it didn't matter. In any case, Su Bai would be able to find enough evidence to prove that Lucy was the prime suspect.

But that night, when Lucy used the zombie to kill him, it made Su Bai feel like he was the one being pushed into a pit dug by others to rejoice in his misfortune.

When Diana pointed out that only Lucy and Xu Gang had the chance to place the evidence on the roof, Su Bai wasn't the least bit surprised. This job was arranged by Su Bai. He went with Montari to the grove, while Diana and Chen Ming went to the pool, while Lucy and Xu Gang went to the second floor to check the bedroom.

Now that he knew Lucy was the zombie's controller, Su Bai didn't mind throwing a bucket of dirty water at her. Lucy also sensed this danger, because she knew that someone deliberately placed the zither string in that position to frame Zhao Rui's suicide. But it wasn't her, because the one she wanted to kill was Su Bai, not Zhao Rui.

This also meant that the person who killed Zhao Rui wanted to make her the biggest stain on their reputation. It could even be said that she was a big light bulb. Under the big light bulb, the other people's suspicions were undoubtedly much smaller.

As for whether or not Lucy noticed him, whether or not she treated him as her number one suspect, Su Bai wasn't sure. Because of this, he didn't plan to kill Lucy from the start, because no one here was stupid. But now that Lucy became the target of public criticism, at least for Su Bai, the real culprit, it would be of great help.

Lucy knew that if she didn't stand up now, if she didn't be honest, she wouldn't have time. It was now morning, and the vote would be around ten o 'clock in the evening. She couldn't drag this out.

"Simon was the one who refined the zombie and had it attack Wang Yi. But I didn't kill Zhao Rui. I didn't kill her."

When saying these words, Lucy didn't even look at Su Bai. It was not because she was guilty, but because everyone's primary goal now was to find the real murderer, and everyone here should also be thinking about how to kill people every day. Here, there was really no need to pretend to apologize.

Hearing these words, Su Bai frowned obviously, crossed his hands together, and slightly exerted force. It wasn't that Lucy said something extraordinary. In fact, when Lucy spoke, she didn't make Su Bai the first suspect. Su Bai just needed to express his anger appropriately.

Perhaps it was because Su Bai took the initiative to reverse the case after confirming that Zhao Rui had committed suicide. From Lucy's perspective, the murderer didn't seem to need to do this. When everyone thought that Zhao Rui had committed suicide and was ready to sleep and wait for the night to vote, the murderer could completely sit back and watch everyone's investigation time be wasted. This was the most advantageous choice for the murderer.

Therefore, in Lucy's opinion, Su Bai took the initiative to find the suspicious point that Zhao Rui had not committed suicide, because of all the people present, except for the murderer, no one could see it more clearly than her.

The evidence that was purposely placed was enough to explain everything to Lucy.

"You admit that the zombie that attacked Wang Yi was created by you?" Diana asked.

"Yes, I admit it, but I didn't succeed," Lucy admitted again.

"Zhao Rui, you don't admit that you killed her?" Diana asked.

"I don't admit it. I didn't kill her. I definitely didn't kill her." Lucy's answer was firm, "I wouldn't use such a low-level method to place the zither strings there to frame Zhao Rui for suicide."

"However, there are always two logical explanations for everything. You're openly admitting to it now because we've already overturned the conclusion that Zhao Rui committed suicide, which was originally beneficial to you. You and Xu Gang have now become suspects. So, if you killed Zhao Rui, you have enough motive to place the evidence so that we can be more certain that Zhao Rui committed suicide …"

Before Chen Ming could finish, Lucy's fierce shout cut him off, "Am I an immortal?

In this place, everyone is an ordinary person. Relying on the conditions here, I was able to refine Simon's corpse into a zombie because of luck. How could I have the energy to kill Zhao Rui? You should know how Zhao Rui died. She was burned to death by a gas tank explosion in the kitchen, which means that there was a semi-automatic ignition device there.

I don't have the time or energy to do anything else. "

"This explanation isn't enough to convince me." Xu Gang spoke, but it was clear that he was hesitant. Because if they cast their vote on the wrong person, the one who wasn't the murderer, it would be the same as losing the case.

The very simple and honest Meng Tari suddenly stretched out his hand at this time, motioning for everyone to stop arguing first. He then took out a piece of paper. While everyone was arguing, he did not say anything except to answer one of Su Bai's questions. He seemed very quiet and had always given people a relatively dull image.

However, when Su Bai saw him take out a pen and paper, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

This was because Su Bai noticed that Meng Tari's temperament seemed to have undergone a huge change.

Could it be that this guy was hiding his true strength?

"Zhao Rui is dead." Meng Tari stood up with a smile on his face. He didn't have the slightest trace of a boorish man, but a calm and wise one, "At least we can be sure of one thing, Zhao Rui didn't commit suicide!"

Meng Tari picked up a fork and drew something on the tablecloth.

"Because we've already determined that the zither string pointing outside Zhao Rui's window from the roof couldn't have been created by Zhao Rui's negligence. If she wanted to win by committing suicide, there was no need for her to leave behind such clear evidence.

In other words, Zhao Rui definitely didn't commit suicide. The evidence was deliberately altered by someone. Other than the murderer, no one would place the wrong evidence at this time. I'm sure everyone is clear about this, right?

Therefore, Zhao Rui definitely didn't commit suicide!

We can confirm this first.

Then, based on this argument, we can slowly divide it into two logical points.

One, Lucy is the murderer.

Two, Lucy is not the murderer. "

Meng Tari drew two lines on the tablecloth with his fork.

"First, let's consider the situation where Lucy is the murderer.

First, she admitted that she refined the corpse of the first victim, Simon, into a zombie. Diana, you're a necromancer. How difficult is it to refine a zombie under these conditions? Please explain. "

Diana was stunned for a moment when she was called out, as if she wasn't used to the current Meng Tari, but she still said, "It's very difficult, and it really depends on a bit of luck."

"Oh, sure. Following the first logic, Lucy managed to refine a zombie under very difficult but lucky circumstances. At the same time, she felt that it wasn't safe, so she designed a semi-automatic device to detonate the gas tank in the kitchen.

Then, on that day, she planned to kill both Wang Yi and Zhao Rui at the same time. In the end, she burned Lucy to death. Wang Yi was lucky enough not to be killed by the zombie. "

After saying that, Meng Tari drew two lines on the first line with his fork. "The first logic is impossible."

"Why?" Xu Gang asked.

"The first logic has been proven to be impossible here, because unless Lucy guessed from the beginning that we would guess that Zhao Rui committed suicide, there's no way she would kill two people at the same time."

As he said that, Meng Tari pointed at Su Bai. "Because in this situation, Wang Yi is excluded from the list of suspects. Because when Zhao Rui died, Wang Yi was attacked by the zombie at the same time. In other words, Lucy placed herself in a range of five suspects.

"There are already very few of us alive. Finding a murderer among six people who are suspicious of each other and finding a murderer among five people with an innocent Wang Yi beside him is absolutely different.

"So, do you think Lucy would be so stupid? "Also, unless you, Xu Gang, tell me that Lucy has absolute confidence that we will analyze Zhao Rui's suicide from the beginning. In fact, before Mr. Wang Yi asked the old butler if he could become the winner after committing suicide, I didn't think of this point.

"But if Lucy is the real murderer, Mr. Wang Yi obviously wouldn't cover for Lucy and cooperate.

"Because of this, there's no need to deduce the first logic here.

"Then,

"When the first theory is rejected,

"there's only the second theory left …

"Lucy,

"Not the murderer.

"In other words, the real murderer is you, Xu Gang, Chen Ming, Diana, and …"

Meng Tari's gaze turned to Su Bai,

"And Mr. Wang Yi,

"Oh right, Mr. Wang Yi, on the day you found out that Bick was the murderer, you didn't come down to eat and stayed in your room the whole day. What were you busy with?"
