Chapter 563: The Greatest Treasure (21)
The shrill screams mixed with rolling thunder and drum-like rain came from it, and it was simply a classic routine of the cut film.
The audience may like it, but it's not very pleasant to be in it.
"It's Mary!"
After all, it was his wife, and Charlie could tell who was screaming when he heard it.
He was about to get up and rush to the location of the source of the sound, An Yi pointed out:
"You look at him, don't let anyone get close, let's go and see."
After speaking, without waiting for Charlie to answer, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu ran all the way to the scream. It sounds like it's coming from the kitchen.
The location of the kitchen is on the first floor, opposite the dining room, and it is not difficult to find the location after An Yi pointed to the guest room where they lived.
By the way, Edward's kitchen is very special, in Tu Hongyu's words, this kitchen is more automated than his home. There are many machines that can make delicious meals just by throwing in the ingredients, and needless to say, this is also Edward's masterpiece.
That's not the point, though, it's the screams.
The two ran to the kitchen door and saw Mary slumped in the kitchen door with a frightened expression.
"Mr. An, Mr. Tu!"
Hearing the footsteps, Mary immediately felt as if she had found a savior as soon as she saw the two of them coming.
"Don't panic, tell me what's going on."
Tu Hongyu comforted Mary, but it was of little use, she said in a trembling voice:
"Ah, Miss Anasta ......"
Ann pointed and quickly rushed into the kitchen.
There, he saw Anasta with her back to her, her head pressed against the sink for washing dishes, and her face appeared to be covered with a black cloth bag. The faucet was still rattling, and her chestnut hair fluttered with the waves like swaying aquatic plants.
Anasta remained motionless, as if dead.
He's dead?
What kind of copy of this Nima is!
Anasta still has a lot of puzzles to solve, and Ann Yizhi is estimated to be related to the final treasure, so he is not in a hurry.
He just had some clues and eyebrows about the murder on his side, but Anasta related to the treasure on the other side just hung up?
If you come out of the system, I promise not to kill you!
No matter how much Ann Yizhi's mood was, Anasta remained motionless, and the overflowing water spilled all over the kitchen.
"Put her down first, it's pitiful to be blistered."
Tu Hongyu shook his head, such a beautiful girl died in front of his eyes, a little emotional.
An Yizhi immediately came back to his senses from his complaints about the system, and he muttered:
"There is no point in comforting a corpse, our mission is to find the murderer."
Although Tu Hongyu knew that eighty percent of An Yizhi's lines were someone else's, this did not prevent him from seeing An Yizhi's mood.
An Yi pointed out that this person is selfish, will never act if there is no benefit, and has the attribute of egg pain such as middle and second disease, which also leads to this product 'everyone is drunk and I am sober', that is to say, everyone else is a trait of garbage.
But An Yizhi is also a person after all, people have seven emotions and six desires, and they will be impulsive, and An Yizhi is just a relatively small number of impulses.
Obviously, Ann Yizhi blew up this time.
Being led by the nose by the system, thinking that he was in control of everything, but still killed two NPCs, which is tantamount to a slap in the face.
"Anyway, you know who the murderer is, and the evidence doesn't matter much, right?"
An Yizhi didn't reply, it really didn't matter, from the attack on Beric and Anasta to the suspicion that the two people did not appear, plus the previous speculation, it was enough to prove who the murderer was.
But An Yizhi pointed out that this person is also a little obsessive-compulsive, and it is uncomfortable not to make it complete.
Of course, Tu Hongyu knew what An Yizhi thought, and they didn't know each other for a day or two. With a sigh, he was about to walk towards Anasta. Unexpectedly, she suddenly stood up like no one else, reached out and took off the black cloth bag on her head, except that her face was a little pale.
"Do you know who the killer is? Tell me how you found out? β
An Yi fingered: "....."
Tu Hongyu: "......"
Waste feelings, mom sells batches!
ββββββββββ
Anasta really didn't have any problems at all, let alone life-threatening, she didn't even look injured.
Everyone can only describe it with a look of bewilderment, judging from the picture just now, this girl is completely dead, and she can't do it while it's hot.
Who knew that the next moment he actually stood up like no one else.
This made An Yizhi feel that he had been played with by the system just now...... In other words, who made such a bad AI? See if I don't kill him!
"Great, Miss Anasta, you're alright."
Mary held her heart in her hands, as if frightened, and drew a cross on her chest as she muttered it.
"Mary, can you find me a towel?"
"WhenγOf course it's no problem, it's next door."
Anasta tugged at her blistered hair, lest they wet the heavy Bavarian-style princess dress.
Of course, she did other things besides asking for towels, such as bringing down the kettle on the stove and then making black tea......
How much does this girl love black tea, hey!
Then he looked at the two players with the expression of 'system you fuck exploded'.
"You haven't told me yet, how did you find the murderer?"
"You better explain what you're up with first, I'd love to find a place to fire a few shots right now......"
An Yizhi said Tu Hongyu's heart, it would be better to have a target with the word 'system' written on it.
"I was attacked when I came to the kitchen to boil water."
Isn't that nonsense......
"By whom?"
Anasta shook her head:
"I don't know, I heard a knock on the door, and when I opened the door, someone put that thing on."
She pointed to the black hood that was placed on the saying and said:
"Then he shoved me and pushed me into the pool and pressed me inside, presumably trying to choke me to death."
As she spoke, Anasta had a smug expression on her face:
"It's too old-fashioned, and there are countless similar passages in the book. However, I was not as strong as him, and I couldn't resist, so I pretended to be dead and struggled a few times before holding my breath, and he thought I was dead and left. β
This trick to fool the perpetrators is really ...... Trifling!
What if someone tests your pulse?
"Then why are you still lying in the water after he's gone?"
Tu Hongyu asked, Anasta is no different from death.
"I don't know if he's gone or not, in case he doesn't leave soon."
That is, she didn't get up until she heard the voices of Tu Hongyu and An Yizhi.
As for why she didn't get up when she heard Mary screaming, it was because Anasta didn't know who attacked her, there was a possibility that Mary was a thief shouting to catch the thief, and only when there were many people did she know that she was safe, and there was no need to play dead.
I have to say that this girl is really bold and careful, ordinary people will fall into panic and struggle when they are attacked, but I don't know that this will not have any effect, but will make herself more dangerous. However, Anasta's method cannot be used as a reference, success depends on luck, and the person who started it probably has little hands-on experience, and he doesn't know if he will die or not......
Wait, a bit of a problem.
Although Anasta was happy that he was okay, Ann still sensed that something was wrong.
If you want to live, you have to breathe. While there are some people who are gifted and trained to hold their breath for up to 20 minutes, the average person obviously doesn't have that possibility.
The average person holds his breath for about one minute, and a few special people can reach three or four minutes, which is without training.
The murderer pressed the person into the water, of course, he didn't just press it for a minute and then let go, the situation in the movie where the person died after pressing into the water was to match the rhythm of watching the movie, and the water was choked into the lungs during the violent struggle.
Suppose the killer pushes Anasta into the water for three minutes to see if she doesn't move before leaving. It wasn't until Mary spotted Anasta that it was an unknown amount of time, at least Mary said she hadn't seen anyone in the kitchen.
According to the structure of the corridor, there is only one way to the kitchen, and it takes at least two to three minutes to reach the main hall on foot, when it is possible to stagger Mary's course of movement by the main door or stairs.
In other words, 3+2+2, Anasta was soaked in water for at least 7 full minutes, plus Ann pointed to them rushing over after hearing the scream, and dozens of seconds when watching Anasta at the door, close to 8 minutes of breath-holding!
This is far beyond the limit of what ordinary people can endure, and it is impossible for ordinary people who have not been trained to hold their breath for so long.
What's more, since the murderer has the intention to kill, and even the cloth bag with his head is ready, it is impossible not to test his pulse before leaving, after all, it is pinching his neck and pressing into the water, and it is impossible not to feel whether his heart is still beating, so he must have confirmed that Anasta did not have a heartbeat before leaving.
Could it be that Anasta will be the legendary Turtle Breath Gong? How is it possible, this is not martial arts......
"Thank you, Mary."
"You're welcome, may God bless you, Miss Anasta, it's great that you're okay."
Watching Anasta wipe the water from her hair and face with a towel, her fair and slender neck stood out.
Being pinched by the neck and pressed into the water will definitely leave a very obvious pinch mark on the neck, not to mention that Anasta's skin is a very delicate and sensitive type at first glance, but there is not a trace of red on her neck at this time.
I see......
An touched his chin with a finger and thought to himself.
All the clues, all the mysteries are solved, and it turns out that this copy is what it is. But......
He pulled out the note he had found from the old earl, and he had no clue about the puzzle on it.
It's ironic to say that Ann Yizhi solved all the puzzles after entering the dungeon, but this puzzle on the paper stumped him.
"Miss Anasta, judging from the tone just now, it seems that you already know who the murderer is?"
When Anasta stood up, he said, 'Do you know who the killer is?' Tell me how you found out? The meaning was clear, and she found out, but she was surprised at how Ann noticed it.
"Of course I do."
After taking a sip of black tea, Anasta's complexion improved a little, and she smiled and said:
"I knew it from the beginning."
Tu Hongyu couldn't help but say:
"Then why didn't you say that?"
"There is a saying in your Oriental chess language, which is called watching chess without saying a true gentleman, I should be right? But I don't know how many accomplices he has. β
This means that Anasta doesn't want to meddle in this matter and knows part of the secrets of the whole thing.
"Chess? Chess...... Chess?! β
An Yizhi suddenly shouted, attracting the different eyes of the other three:
"Hahahaha, Mr. Edward, you're really a little worse than me!"
Laughing wildly, Ann said loudly with one finger.
That's right, he solved, the final puzzle.
