The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

In the No. 4 compartment, the staff of the dining car delivered the set meals to the seats. The four couples who had quarreled began to eat in suspense.

The number of people in the dining car gradually increased, apparently someone came from other cars to eat.

There were relatively few people in the sleeper car where Yu Hanjiang was, and there was a list of tour groups directly from the tour guide. He quickly checked it out, came to dining car No. 5, and nodded towards Xiaolou.

Xiao Lou looked at the Shangyu team, turned around and walked over.

The two met in the tea room of the dining car.

Yu Hanjiang briefly talked about the situation in carriage No. 6: "A tour group of 12 people, staying in rooms 1-3, departs from the City of the Sun to the City of the Moon, and needs to stay in the car for three full days. The tour guide's full name is Qin Shi Everyone calls her Xiao Qin, a college student who has just graduated. She is 24 years old this year and is very cheerful and talkative. She said that these elderly people are all retired workers. The youngest is 60 years old and the oldest is 70 years old. Yes, we have a very good relationship, and we often sign up for group tours together."

Xiao Lou asked, "Where are the other passengers? Is there anything unusual?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Room 4 is a family of four. The parents took two children to visit relatives in other places; rooms 5 and 6 are individual guests. They don't know each other and don't talk. After getting in the car, they just look down at their phones; In the remaining rooms 7 and 8, a few people did not know each other at first, but after chatting with them, I found that everyone was going to attend an academic conference, and they were all physics teachers from different high schools."

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said: "It seems that the possibility of homicides in other rooms is unlikely, and most of them don't know each other, so we still have to focus on this elderly tourist group - it used to be the same unit, maybe it's just There are grudges."

Yu Hanjiang agreed: "Well, I've already got the tour guide's list of all members, and I'll find out the details of each of these old people next." He paused slightly, and then asked: "How is the situation over there? "

Xiao Lou roughly talked about the results of his ticket check, as well as the quarrel between the couple and Jing Weiguang throwing instant noodles on someone.

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "Two couples, five girlfriends, this kind of group relationship is prone to problems. Maybe they get along well on the surface, but the hatred has long been buried in their hearts."

Xiao Lou nodded: "I think so too. I'm focusing on these people... and the late Jing Weiguang, who doesn't know everyone, but his appearance is so special, even if it's not the dead and the murderer, he will definitely He is the key character to promote the plot."

Xiao Lou looked at the dining car that was gradually filling up in front of him, and suddenly said: "By the way, there is also a dining car. Everyone in the entire train can come to eat in the dining car. Is it possible that the murderer directly poisoned the food?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Even if it is poisoned, it will not be now."

At this moment, someone happened to pass by, and both Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou took a step back to make way for the passage.

After the man walked away, Yu Hanjiang continued: "Most murders are not done on a whim, but carefully planned. The murderer may not be familiar with the situation in the restaurant just after getting in the car. If he really wants to use poison The best way is to inspect the environment of the restaurant first, and it will be more confident to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

Xiao Lou thought of another possibility, and asked, "What if the flight attendants committed the crime? They should be very familiar with the environment of the train, and it is very convenient to enter and exit the dining car. It would be easy to directly poison the dishes in the kitchen, right?"

Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

For example, the teacher committed the crime at the end of the 3 of hearts, and 4 of hearts, maybe a perverted flight attendant slaughtered the passengers?

The two of them were analyzing, when they suddenly saw the elderly tourist group coming to the dining car for dinner.

The spectacular team of 12 people immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

One of the bald old men complained: "Old Li, the food in this dining car is too expensive, let's go back and eat. Before I left, my son bought me a pack of snacks and I haven't eaten yet..."

The man called "Lao Li" was well-dressed, old, but his hair was dyed very black, and he looked energetic. He smiled and said, "Is it still expensive? When I went to eat seafood, I ate it for a meal. It's hundreds of thousands." He patted the other party's shoulder boldly and said, "Don't worry, I'll treat you to this meal!"

The bald old man's eyes lit up immediately: "Old Li is still refreshing!"

Someone nearby gossiped: "Lao Li, how much money does your son make a year?"

Lao Li raised his eyebrows, pretending to be calm and said: "Not much, just a few billion."

Xiao Lou was taken aback when he heard this—several billion, if converted into RMB at a ratio of 100:1, there are also tens of millions.This old man is actually the father of a local tyrant, and he doesn't know what his son does.

Yu Hanjiang immediately leaned into Xiao Lou's ear and said, "Li Zhemin, 66 years old, is the richest of this group of elderly people. According to the tour guide, he often treats guests to dinner along the way, and often shows off how rich his son is, How filial."

It is normal for old people to get together and talk about their sons and daughters. However, if one of them often shows off his children, it will arouse the disgust of others over time.

Especially back then, everyone was in the same unit, with similar income levels, and the age of the children is estimated to be about the same. As a result, this Li Zhemin raised a son with assets of over [-] million, which would naturally attract people's envy—maybe also attract people's attention. Jealousy and hatred.

Xiao Lou carefully observed the faces of these old people.

Several people who got close to Lao Li were full of envy and praised one after another: "Your son is still the most promising!"

"I remember your family, Xiao Li, who was very good when he was a child. His grades have always been the first in the school, and he was the number one in science in the year of the college entrance examination. Alas, it's not like the bastard in our family. He can't even afford a house after working, and he still has to eat. Old man, rely on me to pay him the down payment..."

An old lady with gray hair sighed softly and said, "Your son is at least married and has both sons and daughters. How nice is it for you to take care of your grandchildren every day? My daughter is 33, and she only thinks about work and promotion. She won't go on a blind date, but I'm so worried!"

Someone joked: "Old Li's son is also single, why don't you introduce your daughter to him, and you two can get married by the way?"

The old lady said: "Just kidding, my daughter is just an employee of an ordinary company, how can she climb up to Mr. Li? Xiao Li is so rich and handsome. The girls who line up to chase him probably won't be able to fit in the whole car." Bar!"

"Hahaha, there are indeed many girls chasing him." Li Zhemin said with a distressed expression, "However, my son has high vision, and he must find a wife who is smart, virtuous, beautiful and capable. The key is to be filial to me and meet the requirements. There aren't many of them."

"Your son's conditions are so good, there are really not many girls who are worthy of him, you have to keep your eyes open and choose a daughter-in-law."

"Of course." Li Zhemin said with a smile.

"By the way, Lao Li," someone changed the subject: "The real estate your son built is in a good location. I just want to prepare a wedding house for my son. Can I get a discount?"

"No problem! If you want to buy it, tell me directly, and I will ask my son to give you an internal price!" Li Zhemin promised boldly.

The three people at the same table with him obviously had the best relationship with him. During the chat, they kept praising his son. Some of them wanted to ask him to buy a house at a low price, and some were just following the trend and flattering.

The faces of the people at the other two tables were not so uniform. Some people sneered at the corners of their mouths when they heard him boast that their son's annual salary exceeded [-] million;

There was even an old lady who whispered to a friend next to her when he talked about her son’s criteria for choosing a mate: “Why doesn’t his son find a fairy?” The girl is tall, so she only has some bad money."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.

It seems that this elderly tour group may also have problems.

Li Zhemin is too high-profile and doesn't know the principle of "not revealing money". It is easy to make people feel disgusted if he praises his son so much.

Not to mention his old colleague, Xiao Lou felt uncomfortable when he heard it.When other elderly people are worried about their children's poor jobs, unable to afford a house, and finding a partner, Li Zhemin said that his son's annual salary exceeds [-] million yuan, and the development of real estate requires extremely high requirements for finding a partner.

This old man chats regardless of the occasion, his emotional intelligence is too low, and his vanity is very strong.

Just like the people who show off their wealth every day in the circle of friends, it makes people look disgusted.

There are actually a lot of people like this in their lives. Ordinary people will only complain in private when they encounter this kind of show-off. They shouldn't hate to the point of killing people directly, right?

Xiao Lou leaned into Yu Hanjiang's ear and asked softly, "Is there any connection between the couple group in carriage 4 and the elderly group in carriage 6? Or is one of them just a distraction that deliberately misleads us?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Hearts 3 secret rooms, 5 people died in the whole plot."

Xiao Lou was shocked: "Yeah, the girl who was pushed down the stairs five years ago, the three murderers killed by the avengers, and Ying Xiaoya who was implicated innocently at the end... the difficulty of 4 of hearts will not be more difficult than that of red. Peach 3 is low, so there are likely to be more than one dead on this train?"

Yu Hanjiang said decisively: "There are so many people in carriages 4 and 6, I speculate that the subsequent plot will be more complicated than that of Heart 3. We will pay close attention to the movements of these people, and once we find something, we will meet in the dining car."

Heart 3 has the most obvious "The Count of Monte Cristo" as a reminder, and the case is related to revenge.

But heart 4, so far no obvious clues have been found.

Just as Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were about to turn around and return to the carriage, suddenly, a voice sounded in their headsets at the same time: "Every train crew, it's time for dinner. Please return to carriage No. 9 as soon as possible to receive work meals."

The two looked at each other, feeling a sense of uneasiness in their hearts at the same time.

They must obey the instructions in the headset, but the No. 9 car is far away from here. Once they leave, they can't predict what will happen in this car.

Yu Hanjiang said: "It's still daytime, and it's unlikely that the murderer will kill directly. Let's go eat first."

This was the only way to go, Xiao Lou turned around and followed the Shangyu team, and walked quickly to the No. 9 carriage.

All the flight attendants of the car gathered here, each received a work meal, and sat at the table to eat and chat.Xiao Lou pricked up his ears, but he didn't hear any useful information. Most of the people were just gossiping.

He and Yu Hanjiang sat down face to face and opened the work meal.

The meal in Heart 4 Secret Room is really good. The set meal includes a generous portion of chicken chop, a golden fried egg, a small plate of pickled radish, a plate of lettuce with garlic, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

After not eating well for several days in a row, Xiao Lou was very moved when he saw this set meal, and immediately took apart the disposable chopsticks and started eating.

The two quickly settled the set meal, and just picked up a tissue to wipe their mouths-then they heard the voice of the female announcer next to their ears.

There was obvious anxiety in the voice: "The radio is looking for someone. Is there any medical staff on the car? Please hurry to the No. 6 car. A child has an accident and needs the help of the medical staff urgently... The radio is looking for someone, is there any medical staff on the car?" There are no medical workers..."

The hasty broadcast was read twice in a row.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, quickly packed up the lunch box, turned around and rushed to the No. 6 carriage.

Yu Hanjiang said with a sullen face as he walked: "The children in my car are only the children of the young couple in room 4. They are twins. They are all 3 years old this year and have just started kindergarten."

Xiao Lou was burning with anxiety: "The radio suddenly called for a doctor, and I don't know what happened to the child."

During dinner time, the carriage was rather chaotic. In the middle of the aisle, there were still people walking back and forth with cooked instant noodles. The two passed sideways, and soon came to carriage No. 6.

Yu Hanjiang strode to the door of Room 4.

The young couple was full of anxiety, the woman was holding the three-year-old son in her arms, the child was blue and his whole body was twitching violently, Xiao Lou followed up and immediately asked: "What's going on?!"

The woman cried and said, "I fed the child just now, and the child suddenly became like this..."

Asphyxiating convulsions caused by inhalation of foreign bodies into the trachea.

Xiao Lou is also a medical student. He knew what was going on when he saw the child. He took a step forward and just wanted to help, but the next moment, he saw a person rushing over: "What's the matter? What's wrong with the child?" gone?"

——It turned out to be Jing Weiguang from the No. 4 carriage.

Before Xiao Lou could react, Jing Weiguang pushed him and Yu Hanjiang away, rushed into Room 4 from the gap between them, and said, "Give me the child!"

The woman's eyes were red, she looked back at the young boy with messy hair and rumpled clothes, and asked in a daze, "Who are you?"

Jing Weiguang said: "I am an emergency doctor, give me the baby quickly."

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, the woman immediately handed over the child to him and hurriedly explained what happened.

After hearing this, Jing Weiguang held the 3-year-old boy in his arms from behind and lifted the child's clothes.He calmly stretched out his right hand, and at the position of two fingers above the child's navel, he clenched his right hand into a fist, wrapped his left hand around his right hand, and quickly punched hard backward and upward.

The little boy with a face full of bruises was kicked back five times in a row by him, and coughed suddenly——

A raisin the size of a fingernail was coughed up, and the child's complexion and breathing gradually returned to normal. He was obviously very uncomfortable, and cried out with a "wow".

Jing Weiguang handed the child back to the woman, and said: "Be careful when feeding the child, especially when the child is crying, it is easy to be sucked into the trachea. If this happens again next time, you First aid can be followed as I did just now.”

While coaxing her son, the woman looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, thank you! Thank you so much!"

Her husband also grabbed Jing Weiguang's hand and shook it, saying: "Thank you, doctor! What's your name and which hospital are you in? Later, our husband and wife will definitely come to visit and send you a pennant!"

Jing Weiguang's face was slightly red, and he waved his hands hastily: "No need, it's a little effort, cough, I'll go back first if it's okay..."

He turned around and ran away quickly, leaving Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looking at each other.

After Yu Hanjiang walked over to confirm that the child was not in danger, he turned around and came out.

Many passengers around came to watch, and they all sighed: "There are still many kind-hearted people!" "The kid is lucky, there happens to be a doctor on the bus..."

Xiao Lou whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear, "He is the late Jing Weiguang. Unexpectedly, he is actually a doctor."

Just now, Jing Weiguang used the "Heimlich Abdominal Punch Method" commonly used in emergency departments. The technique is "scissors, rock, and cloth". In this position; cloth, use the other hand to wrap the "stone" like a cloth, and quickly strike backward and upward, 5 times each round, until the child coughs out the foreign body.

The principle of this first aid method is to increase the pressure of the abdominal cavity to lift the diaphragm, which in turn increases the pressure of the chest cavity and allows the trachea to expel foreign objects.If a child eats something, he will accidentally inhale it into the trachea. If the first aid is not timely, it will be fatal.

Jing Weiguang ran to the No. 4 compartment to save the child, and told the passer-by: He is a doctor.

Xiao Lou thoughtfully said: "The couple in the 8th row, the two girls are also medical students, Yue Xiaoquan clinical medicine, Mo Jiaran nursing, there are so many medical majors in the car, it is definitely not a coincidence."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Perhaps it means that the murder method in this secret room is quite special, and those who pass through the level cannot solve the puzzle without medical related majors. Therefore, there are so many doctors in the secret room of the plot. If the passers-by don't understand, they can ask Jing Weiguang ?”

Jing Weiguang, a doctor acting alone, is unlikely to be the deceased or the murderer.

Looking at it now, the existence of Jing Weiguang is more like an NPC that assists passers-by in judging medical-related knowledge?
