According to the known conditions, new things are deduced, and finally the original appearance and truth of things are restored.

This is what we often call reasoning.

But reasoning is not a panacea, especially when clues are not enough to restore the original state of affairs, and those clues at the crime scene alone are unlikely to directly deduce the truth.

However, the essence of reasoning is association, which belongs to a way of thinking, so what about trying a different way of thinking?

For example, empathy.

Suppose I'm the murderer, I'm going to kill the bride, I'm going to set up the scene as a secret room, what do I do?

As long as you put forward your own idea first, and then fill in the key points of the crime scene, if all match, it means success, and if there is an unexplained disagreement, it means failure.

This is similar to a card reader reading a magnetic card, as long as every key point is passed, even a fake card can be successfully read.

It's not necessarily as precise as reasoning, but it's a good idea.

Everyone thought for a while, and the first to speak was Red:

"If I were a prisoner, I would be in ambush in the big closet...... Apples, can you fit in a large wardrobe? ”

"Roughly fine."

The large wardrobe in the room is about two meters high, and although it is difficult to hide a strong man of about two meters and three, it is not impossible, but the posture may not be very comfortable.

"Well, then I ambushed her in the big closet, and when the bride came in and closed the door, I suddenly got into trouble, and I used a syringe to inject anesthetic drugs into it, and after the bride was unconscious, I hung her on the chandelier with my belt, and finally killed her with a letter opener."

"And how do you leave?"

"With a rubber band."

Rhett gestured and continued:

"I leave through the window, first put the rubber band on the grip of the latch, then close the window, then turn out the window, pull the rubber band, the latch will lock, and finally with a little force, pull the rubber band and take it away, and I can disguise it as a perfect secret room."

"But how do you explain that a two-meter-three man with blood stains on his body is not discovered by anyone?"

"It's the time."

Red pointed to the grove behind the church:

"The bridegroom, noticing that the bride had not moved for a long time since she entered the room, realized that something might have happened, and the sound of him calling the door with Director House attracted most of the guests, and carried out the above departure plan while the guests were being lured away."

At first glance, it sounds reasonable, but it's not really reasonable, and you have to put the situation at the scene of the crime into it.

"It's impossible to leave this way."

Breeze Bazooka retorted:

"With the amount of blood at the scene, the murderer must have had a lot of blood on his body, I remember you said that the curtains were closed, right?"

Appletea nodded, and Breeze Bazooka continued:

"Even if the murderer is careful, there is not much blood on his body, but the letter opener is not a long-handled weapon, saying that it is a dagger feels a little short, such a sharp weapon cuts the throat, cuts the chest, and finally pierces the heart, the prisoner's hands must be stained with blood, even if he wears gloves, and takes off the gloves after committing the crime, the cuffs will inevitably be full of blood as the hands, and the curtains are pulled with such hands......"

She looked at Appletea, who shook his head and said:

"The curtains are clean, there is no blood, and the method of making a secret room with rubber bands closed is not good."

"That's not okay either?"

Appletea takes out a coin and flips it back and forth between your hands:

"If you want to achieve the effect you said, the prisoner's hands must be more flexible than ordinary people like me, but it is speculated that the prisoner's height is more than two meters three, which makes people unable to operate rubber bands flexibly and freely with their hands."

The height is different, and the size of each part is naturally different, how can a guy with a height of two meters three be as big as an ordinary person?

"Maybe he's trained?"

"It's true that such a possibility cannot be ruled out, but it still can't be ruled out."

Appletea grabbed the coin and pulled out the piece of paper that had been used to open the latch earlier:

"The gap in that window is only so narrow, the rubber band is easy to be stuck, there is not enough space to do the kind of pulling action you said, and it is not certain that there is a rubber band in this era."

An Yizhi actually wanted to popularize science, rubber bands were invented in 1845, and the copy time was 1890, not only is there but also of good quality.

But it doesn't matter what I'm talking to them, so let's focus on it.

"In the end, the way to escape is okay, but it is very dangerous, in case the other party plans to hit the door, it will not take a few clicks to crash open, in case the murderer has no time to arrange everything, he will be caught and revealed."

Murder in a closed room must be a planned crime, since it is a plan, the prisoner must have already calculated everything, and the timing of escape is a bit of a gambling factor, not like a planned murderer will choose to use the method.

But as Apple Tea says, there are risks, but it works.

"Going any further, it's also unlikely that the anesthetic injected with a syringe made the whole process of the crime without making a sound."

Breeze Bazooka Says:

"Even if the bride has her back to the murderer, the murderer has successfully injected the anesthetic with a syringe, but the anesthetic in this era is far from achieving the effect of immediate anesthesia, not to mention that the syringes in this era are made of metal, the needles are thick, and the moment they are stabbed, they will definitely hurt, and the groom is outside the door, he can't hear it completely."

"What if he had a more elaborate syringe and a quick-acting anesthetic?"

"Let's just assume that he is fine, but people are not balloons, and the injection of anesthetics is not just anywhere, if it is not hit in the right place, no matter how fast the anesthetic is, it will take a little time for the anesthetic to take effect, even if it is only for a second, it is enough for the bride to make a move."

That's true, don't use the anesthetic needles that shoot everywhere in a certain Grim Reaper elementary school as an example, that thing is pure black technology.

"Why did he know that the bride would go to that room than how he did it?"

Apple Tea said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"There are a lot of rooms like that in the church, and the wedding dress is placed in one of them, how did the murderer know in advance which room the bride would go to to change her clothes? Isn't there a murderer among those who know where the wedding dress is? ”

"In fact, this clue does not catch the prisoner, and it is difficult to even narrow it down."

Red took Breeze Bazooka's words and said:

"We also knocked on the side once when we questioned the groom just now, and from the testimonies we collected, all the relatives who participated in the wedding knew where the wedding dress was, and they could tell it by asking casually, and even they themselves could not remember whether they had told it to the other guests."

"In other words, anyone can find out where the wedding dress is stored through any guest, and then make an ambush......"

An Yizhi listened to the arguments of his friends and muttered.

At this time, Qingfeng Bazooka came up with another speculation:

"I always feel that the groom is the most suspicious, assuming that the groom did it, many things can be solved."

She looked down at the scene of the crime on the notepad and said:

"The bridegroom killed the bride by subduing her while she was changing her clothes and hanging them on a chandelier, and since the bride was about to change her clothes, the curtains and windows were naturally closed with her own hands, and the door was ...... What about the crack in Apple's door? Can you close the latch with the rubber band that Rhett just mentioned? ”

Appletea recalled and nodded.

"Unlikely from the side of the door, but there is a not-so-narrow gap under the door, and the latch can be closed from the outside with a long thin rope"

"In this way, the secret room was formed, and as for the height, I think we were all wrong at first, the prisoner was just a man of normal size, he stepped on a chair and stabbed the bride in the back, and afterwards disposed of the chair and the clothes that possessed the blood, and washed his hands at that time. Judging by the length of time between the groom's knock and his knocking on the door, he had every chance of doing so...... No, something is wrong. ”

In the end, even Qingfeng Bazooka himself felt that it was impossible.

"The smell of blood isn't that easy to clean, I remember when I questioned him with Red, he didn't have a lot of blood on him, and he didn't wear perfume, so there was no possibility of covering it with perfume."

"How about combining the two inferences?"

Apple Tea Says:

"Suppose the murderer was a normal-sized adult male, well versed in medicine and pharmacology, and he hid in a large closet, waited for the bride to come in, anesthetized it with a syringe, killed him, and then ...... It seems that it doesn't make sense how to escape in the end. ”

It is impossible to escape through the door, because the bridegroom is watching at the door, and there is no way to escape through the window without leaving any trace.

"No, let's assume he has a way we don't know, but the question is how he disappeared."

"There must have been a lot of blood on his body, and he couldn't have run too far to dispose of the bloody clothes, so ...... Let's go to the grove and verify it. ”

Rhett proposed:

"The scene of the crime is facing the grove, and the back door of the church is also facing there, no matter how the murderer escaped from the window to create a secret room, considering the time and distance, he can only go to the grove to bury the bloody clothes temporarily."

Indeed, no matter how deserted the town is, most people work in factories during the day, and the families are not full of strong laborers, there must be old people and children, and beyond the grove are rows of houses, and a bloodstained man walks in the daylight and afternoon sunshine...... It's strange not to see it, right?

They did what they said, and went to the grove to see where there were signs of the land that had recently been turned over.

By the way, the police also came back with forensic tools, and this time they even sent people to guard near the window, and when they saw the four players wandering in the grove without approaching, they didn't say much, but just told them to be careful if they didn't know who the prisoner was.

However, it took the four of them an hour to turn over every inch of the entire grove, and they did not see any traces of the soil being turned over, or even any traces of blood dripping.

A person covered in blood, even if he is careful, there will be bits and pieces of blood dripping, but they can't even find this trace, which means that the murderer has not been to this grove, and furthermore, he did not escape through the window at all.

As mentioned earlier, the groom is guarding the door, and there are only two entrances and exits at the scene of the crime, the window and the door, how did the murderer leave after killing someone?

This makes everyone scratch their heads, maybe they identify themselves like the police applying for assistance in solving the case, and then look closely at the scene and may get more clues, although the probability is not very high.

With the difficulty level of an ordinary dungeon, the system actually added a seemingly unsolvable perfect murder case to the plot related to the main quest for players to solve, are you sure this is not a nightmare difficulty?

"Brother An, you said that this kind of copy has supernatural elements, and the murderer can't be a ghost, right?"

"Probably not, this is not the style of the system, let the player use scientific means to solve unscientific cases...... Wait, I see, that's what happened......"

An unintentional remark from Apple Tea made An Yizhi put together the last piece of the puzzle, he looked at the friends waiting for him to answer, and spit out a sentence:

"The bride, it's a suicide."
