: The floor plan of Dragon Island Theme Park and the location of the dead

Then there are some mass testimonies collected by Liang Shanbai, almost all of which described the unbelievable cases listed on the previous page. In particular, all the deceased except Zhou Gaoan had shown an obvious state of insanity before their death, and they kept claiming that The Dragon God will come to take them away, and the most astonishing thing is that the body of the second deceased, Zhao Xiaobing, disappeared without a trace and has not been found so far.

"Many of the workers employed by Tiangong have already left this construction company. They seem to be afraid of staying in this company any longer. The wrath of the dragon will come to them one day, so they would rather not work in this big company than Leave as quickly as possible. I have tried my best to collect testimony, but most of the people who actually came into contact with the seven dead people kept silent, and after repeated questioning, they could only give out some bits and pieces of information.”

Zhu Yingtai read all the testimony, but in fact it was only two thin pages, and there were only five witnesses involved, which shows the difficulty of the investigation.Then there are scans of some information photos from the forensic doctor and the police, including those at the scene and corpses, as well as a close-up of the dragon scale Zhang Dongwei held in his hand before.In the photo, the flakes were not as bright as what he saw with his own eyes, but instead showed a kind of old and inconspicuous gray, and I don't know why.

Zhu Yingtai went through all the data, and then turned to the first two pages, comparing the graphs and tables repeatedly. During this period, Liang Shanbai remained silent. His identity at this time was not Zhu Yingtai's lover, but more like a The opponent, his task and responsibility is to test what Zhu Yingtai observed, and whether it is different from what he observed.

After a while, Zhu Yingtai looked away from the paper.

"How?" Liang Shanbai asked.

Zhu Yingtai pointed to the floor plan of Dragon Island: "There are four functional areas, seven dead, and an average of two dead in each functional area. There is only one in the modern mythology area including He Yong who jumped into the sea. It's a bit strange."

"Well," Liang Shanbai didn't notice this before, "I don't think there is any mystery in it, it's just a coincidence."

"Maybe." Zhu Yingtai said, holding the stack of papers, he easily supported the unused ticket cutting machine with one hand, turned over to the interior of Dragon Island.But when he landed, his expression changed subtly—the pain from behind almost caused him to fall, but luckily he stabilized in time.damn it!

Liang Shanbai didn't notice this for a long time, so he also jumped in and asked, "Which crime scene shall we go to first?"

Zhu Yingtai already had an idea in mind, and clicked on the left side of the floor plan: "High-tech new district, let's go counterclockwise."

"Are you following number two or number six?"

"No. [-] Zhao Xiaobing." Zhu Yingtai's answer was completely in line with Liang Shanbai's previous conjecture, and yesterday's field investigation also confirmed that his conjecture was reasonable, but there are still some problems that have not been resolved.

"why?"

Zhu Yingtai stopped: "Not only No. [-], I also pay attention to No. [-]."

"Why?" Knowing that he was so stupid, Liang Shanbai couldn't help but continue to ask. He liked to see Zhu Yingtai's confident expression on his face, just like when they first met in Zhu's mansion four years ago. once said -

"If I can keep you here, I will certainly be able to send you out. 』

But compared with four years ago, Zhu Yingtai is much more cautious.

"I think these two are special," he said, "out of all seven dead, these are the only two whose bodies were not found..."

"And the way of death is not bloody." Liang Shanbai continued the second half of the sentence.There was no need to say the subtext, he believed that the two of them had the same feeling when they saw the death list.

The Dragon Art and Culture Exhibition Center, where Zhao Xiaobing hanged himself and then disappeared, appeared in front of them shortly afterwards.This is a two-storey building designed with reference to Hakka Tulou.As a landmark scenic spot in the new high-tech district, it is like a giant dragon that is entrenched on the ground and is about to depart from modern times to the future. The 360-degree spiral building design represents the torso of the dragon, and the dragon head is placed on the The center of the square surrounded by round buildings is said to be used as a sun cafe and a souvenir sales gallery in the future, specially for entertaining tourists to rest and choose goods.When the whole is completed, the exterior wall of the building will be completely covered with LED display screens. Once all the LED display screens display golden scale patterns, tourists can see it from a very far away. A giant dragon that seems to be about to take off.

Of course, what Liang Shanbai and Zhu Yingtai can see now is only the dusty exterior wall of the building. Although the building itself has been roughly completed, in order to reserve the space for installing the LED display screen, no building materials were used for decoration at all. The exterior wall, from the outside, can't help but look dilapidated.

Liang Shanbai led Zhu Yingtai to enter through the main entrance: "In order to facilitate the audience to enter and exit the venue and avoid congestion, this art center has set up three gates, two of which can directly enter the atrium, and only the third gate leads to the faucet. corridor, and you must go through the gate facing the atrium through the dragon head corridor to enter the atrium. We are using gate No. [-] now."

Figure 3: Top view of Dragon Culture and Art Center in Dragon Island Theme Park

After passing through the narrow passage, Liang Shanbai and Zhu Yingtai entered the building.In front of you is an open field and a circular corridor.This corridor is like the inner ring of the entire art center, connecting all the exhibition halls and function rooms of the whole building in series. In the center of the ring is the central green space that is expected to be paved with turf and planted flowers for viewing in the future. Of course, only the bare ones can be seen now. That's all.The dragon head is in front of the inner door to the left. Zhu Yingtai looked around and estimated that the promenade building pulled by the dragon head should exceed the center point of the circle. Fortunately, because it is designed as a sun room, the walls of the dragon head building are all transparent It is made of glass, so you can see the scene on the opposite side even if you are separated from the dragon head building from the inner door.

"Sure enough..." Zhu Yingtai said softly.

As he expected, since the cultural center is a spiral building, coupled with the lack of decoration and design, the interior looks exactly the same. When standing on the inner ring corridor and looking at the opposite side, it is almost impossible to confirm which houses you see. .

Liang Shanbai walked two rooms to the left and said, "The place where I am standing now is roughly the place where three eyewitnesses saw Zhao Xiaobing hang himself on the night of April [-]th. At that time, Zhao Xiaobing was in the opposite room. , climbed up on the chair in front of everyone, hung the rope, and hanged himself, followed by his body and suddenly disappeared in full view. At first everyone thought it was a mistake, but when several witnesses ran across the atrium in panic When I got to the opposite room, I found that there was nothing left in that room.”

Zhu Yingtai nodded: "Interesting."

Liang Shanbai added: "It is said that Zhao Xiaobing's mental state was a little bit wrong a few days before the incident. According to his roommates, a few weeks before the incident, he often had nightmares and talked nonsense at night. The content was all about Dragon gods and the like are also in a trance during the day."

"Oh?" Zhu Yingtai walked across the future central green space while listening.

"Then three days before the incident, Zhao Xiaobing was in a bad mood. When someone asked him why, he refused to say at first, but then he faltered and said that he had a dream last night in which he saw the Dragon God. The other party said that their construction had offended His authority. He had already killed Zhou Gaoan and wanted to remind them to pay attention, but they insisted on going their own way. So, He wanted to take away more and more people, and the first person He was about to take away was The two are Zhao Xiaobing."

Zhu Yingtai didn't speak, the two just walked near the dragon's head, Zhu Yingtai walked back and forth in a straight line along the position of the dragon's head, measured the location of the dragon's head with his footsteps, and came to the conclusion that the number of steps from the dragon's head to the left was seven steps less than that of the right , according to a step of about [-] centimeters, it is obvious that the location of the faucet is about five meters beyond the central axis of the entire building.Then he moved left and right through the glass wall of the faucet to look at the other side, and then walked around the faucet.

"Of course the other workers didn't believe this kind of thing, so they just persuaded Zhao Xiaobing a few words. The excitement brought about by Zhou Gaoan’s death passed away after a joke. The second day passed without incident, but the third day Zhao Xiaobing became very strange.”

"How strange?"

"It is said that Zhao Xiaobing doesn't feel like the past. He is in a trance, makes mistakes frequently, and always says strange things."

"Huh?" Zhu Yingtai stopped in his tracks. In front of him were several identical rooms. The doors were only made of bamboo grids made of the same material as the scaffolding as a temporary door to block the door.Because it is not for anti-theft, this kind of temporary door is very rough. Even from the opposite side, you can see Zhao Xiaobing hanged himself in the room through the wide gap between the bamboo fences through the glass wall of the leading sunshine room. the process of.

"Which room is the place where Zhao Xiaobing died?"

Liang Shanbai took several steps back, then pointed to one of them and said, "It should be this one."

Zhu Yingtai also took a few steps back, glanced upstairs, with a clear expression on his face.Then he pushed open the bamboo gate at the door and entered the back room.The whole house was empty, and the traces of the police search had been worn away by time. It seemed that this was an ordinary house.

"When Zhao Xiaobing was having dinner that day, he suddenly became uncharacteristically enthusiastic. He distributed all his mobile phones and other things to other people, and bought a lot of stewed vegetables and beer for everyone in the same class to eat together. Thank you for your care in the past four years. Brother, I have to take a step forward. I hope you will have a brilliant career and success in the future! Most of the workers here think his behavior is inexplicable, but anyway, there is wine and meat, so they don’t care. Then, at about [-]:[-] that night, most of the construction workers had already left work, and the remaining four people finished the work, one of whom was Zhao Xiaobing. However, when everyone was packing their things, they found that Zhao Xiaobing had disappeared.”

"At first, those people suspected that Zhao Xiaobing was lazy and left early. Although they were not very happy, they remembered the meal that Zhao Xiaobing had invited them to, so they didn't care. As a result, when everyone was about to turn off the power and leave, Someone suddenly found someone in the opposite room."

"Who is the discoverer?"

"The first person who saw someone in the house was an old worker surnamed Shen, but the one who confirmed Zhao Xiaobing's identity was another person." Liang Shanbai said, seeing Zhu Yingtai looking up at Liang Shang, he knew that he wanted to see Liang There were rope marks on his body, so he asked, "Do you want me to hug you?" He actually meant to help, but after all, the two had only had intimate contact, Zhu Yingtai ran away when he heard this Biased.

"Why do you think about this kind of thing all day long, you won't go back..." At this point, seeing Liang Shanbai's dazed expression, Zhu Yingtai realized that he had misunderstood. His face was flushed with shame, and he was ashamed.It is said that Liang Shanbai thinks about such lewd things all day long, but it seems that he is the one who thinks about such things all the time...

Liang Shanbai didn't expect to have such a harvest. Seeing Zhu Yingtai's expression of wanting to slap himself a few times, he was really happy, but on the surface, in order to take care of his lover's face, he still had to pretend that he didn't notice "Ah, maybe it's better to move a chair, I'm stupid, I only use stupid methods." He said as if he was going to find a chair, but was stopped by Zhu Yingtai.

"Hold... hug me up." In order to justify his idiotic words just now, Zhu Yingtai forced himself to say the words that made his earlobe red with shame, "Although your idea is stupid, it's quite... quite effective. "

Liang Shanbai laughed so hard in his heart, he ran over with a distorted face, and wrapped his arms around his lover's waist: "Then I want to hug."

"Hold... Hug." Zhu Yingtai gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was still helpless.Fortunately, Liang Shanbai was quite sensible, and he was really just doing his best to hold him as high as possible.Both Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbai are more than 180 centimeters tall, and Liang Shanbai is very strong. After holding Zhu Yingtai over his shoulders, he can clearly see the traces of the rope on the beam.

"How? Cinema?"

Liang Shanbai asked a few times before Zhu Yingtai realized it.He found it embarrassing that he lost his mind when he was not paying attention, and thought of Liang Shanbai's sexy face last night when he held his waist and kept piercing him.

Damn it!

Zhu Yingtai scolded himself: "Okay, let me down." After he landed, he cleared his throat to cover up his gaffe, and asked Liang Shanbai, "How tall is Zhao Xiaobing and how much does he weigh?"

"Height 170 cm, weight 55 kg, what?"

"Did the witnesses see the stepping stone he stepped on when he came in?"

"Yes, an overturned chair, about forty centimeters high, but it should be in the police station now."

"The body is gone, where is the rope?"

"Hmm..." Liang Shanbai stroked his chin, "It's gone too."

Zhu Yingtai nodded, and walked out of the house again. He looked around, and then walked to the door of the room on the right next door.The door of this room was also blocked by a bamboo gate, but with a slight push from Zhu Yingtai, the door swayed crookedly.He leaned over to look, and found that the two screws on the upper hinge used to fix the door were missing one and hadn't been tightened at all, which caused this result.

This unexpected harvest made his speculation go a step further. When Zhu Yingtai entered the house, the furnishings inside were no different from those next door.

Liang Shanbai also walked in and asked for the second time, "Do you need me to hug you?"

Zhu Yingtai nodded cheerfully this time, and he soon found what he was looking for on the beams of this room.A relatively deep and narrow strangulation mark and some traces of dust being wiped off. The scratches are wider, four or five centimeters in length.After he got down, he walked out of the house, looked at the ground floor of this huge building, and then seemed to have come to a conclusion, walked towards the No. [-] door, stopped at the door of a certain room, and stretched out his hand gently Pushing the door, the same situation happened to this door. Zhu Yingtai went over to look and found that the hinge of this door was also missing a screw.

Zhu Yingtai went to the faucet again and looked in. There was a pile of construction waste in the corner of the empty glass room, most of which were broken building glass shards and broken bamboo strips. I don’t know where it was removed. .Zhu Yingtai pushed the door and found that the door was unlocked, so he walked in, squatted down beside the pile of garbage, reached out and took a bamboo stick to fiddle with the pile of garbage, and soon, he found what he was looking for , a pile of shattered lenses.

So far, he can almost guess what happened that night. Of course, there are still some problems. These problems represent some conditions. Without these conditions, Zhao Xiaobing's death game would not be so successful.

Yes, Game of Death!

Liang Shanbo seemed a little dazed by Zhu Yingtai's second move, and asked him, "What, have you reached a conclusion?"

"There are still a few questions I need to know." Zhu Yingtai said, "First, among the four people left that night, besides Zhao Xiaobing, is there another person who died in the Dragon Fury incident?"

Liang Shanbai nodded: "That's right, it was the sixth deceased, Zeng Wei, but his body did not disappear."

"Zeng Wei?" Zhu Yingtai was slightly taken aback, but quickly calmed down, "It seems that someone didn't want his body to disappear." Zhu Yingtai said coldly.

"Second question, I just asked you which room is where Zhao Xiaobing's body disappeared. Why did you step back and tell me?"

"You know." Liang Shanbai scratched his head, "I'm looking for a mark. The spiral shape can easily make people lose the sense of distance, and all the rooms are exactly the same. I have to use the mark to determine which room is Zhao Xiaobing place of disappearance."

Zhu Yingtai looked upstairs. On the wall of the corridor on the second floor, which had the same structure as the ground floor, there was a small red plastic lantern hanging on a hook.

"That lantern was hung up by a worker on the spur of the moment on New Year's Eve, and he forgot to take it away. Because it didn't hinder the construction, it was left there, and the room where Zhao Xiaobing hanged himself was in the room directly below the lantern. .”

"Thus, those few witnesses were able to directly determine the whereabouts of Zhao Xiaobing after seeing Zhao Xiaobing's suicide and disappearance of his body. Unfortunately, except for Zeng Wei, everyone else was fooled." Zhu Yingtai asked Liang Shanbai after finishing speaking , "I don't think I need to go up and look again." After a pause, he asked in a joking tone, "Mr. Liang, are there any traces of nails on the wall of the corridor on the second floor directly above the room on the right?"

Liang Shanbai hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, absolutely."

"Then, everything is clear." Zhu Yingtai said, "Zhao Xiaobing is not dead yet. I think this also applies to He Yong."

"All ears."

Zhu Yingtai said: "Zhao Xiaobing never dreamed of the Dragon God from the very beginning, nor did he have the idea of ​​suicide. For some reason, he, He Yong, and Zeng Wei, who was later killed, needed to fabricate the Dragon God. Sending down the message of Dragon Fury, I guess many of the strange things that happened in the park before may have something to do with them. After all, it is difficult for the villagers of Mingjin Village outside the park to do this kind of thing. At least they must know when the security guards change shifts .”

"That's right, so even though many strange things are man-made, and most of them are done by Mingjin villagers, there must be people from within Tiangong as internal support. Of course, I mean pretending to leak information inadvertently in some way. Come forward directly, after all, people in Mingjin Village are very xenophobic."

"Well. Then, Zhao Xiaobing and the others finally finalized the plan and decided to implement it. Obviously, the nightmares in the first few weeks were deliberately fabricated by him to confuse people, paving the way for his bizarre death and disappearance. The first reaction would be the Dragon Wrath incident, refusing to consider man-made possibilities."

"Yeah, people always have preconceived notions, especially when weird things happen again and again in Dragon Island Theme Park, and they are more likely to be induced. Even if someone raises other possibilities at this time, they will definitely reject those challenges. When you have a point of view, you listen to it but don’t hear it, and turn a blind eye. This is the psychological “backfire effect.”

"Your master still teaches psychology?" Zhu Yingtai asked, frowning.

"Well, he actually likes everything."

Zhu Yingtai became more and more curious about Liang Shanbai's master.

"So, after making a predetermined impression on everyone, Zhao Xiaobing started to act that night. After he was almost gone, he entered a certain room and pretended to hang himself. Of course, his hanging was a fake hanging. Many detective novels This little trick is written all over the book, first tie a circle around the waist with a rope of an inconspicuous color, put on the coat outside, pass the rope through the collar and tie it to the beam, and then in front of everyone, tie the second rope. The rope is tied to the beam, and it is best to cover the first rope to ensure that the strangle marks overlap. Of course, the length of the noose should be longer than the first rope, so that when hanging, the real force is the rope on the waist After doing all this, kicking off the chair, you can fake the illusion of suicide."

"Well, how do you explain the disappearance of Zhao Xiaobing's body?"

"It's very simple. Zhao Xiaobing didn't die in this room, but the one on the right." Zhu Yingtai pointed his finger to the right, "The door on the left is not suitable, I will mention this later. It turns out that There are indeed traces of ropes on the beam next door, which is in line with my speculation, and apart from the deeper and narrower rope marks on the waist, there is also a wider trace. Since the second rope is not strenuous, it is just rubbed off. It's just a little dust, and the two traces overlap."

"How did the witnesses misunderstand the scene of the death?"

"Looking at it from such a long distance, with the dragon head sunshine room in the middle, it is actually difficult to determine which room Zhao Xiaobing is in, but at this time, Zhao Xiaobing and the others cleverly used a hint." Zhu Yingtai watched I glanced upstairs, "That lantern. When people can't judge the direction, they often need some characteristic landmarks. Judging based on such things, such as going to a restaurant for dinner, and looking for your own seat when you come back, you will think, mine. The seat is next to the bar, or there is a potted bonsai on the right side, these are the signs that you remember your seat, and this lantern has become a sign to judge where Zhao Xiaobing is.”

"In the past, this lantern has been hung above the room facing the dragon head, that is, to the left of the central axis."

"So the impression of the workers working here has been formed. Once they get close, they will go straight to the next room."

"No wonder you said it couldn't be the one on the left, because a small half of that room is exposed beyond the dragon's head, so it's not easy to be mistaken. But wouldn't they go under the lantern?"

"When judging from a distance, the lantern is an obvious target, but once you get close, if you want to find the lantern, you have to take a few steps back and then look up." Zhu Yingtai said.

"Well, I just took a few steps back to see the little lantern."

"The people who work here must be much more familiar with architecture than you are. Once they form the impression of "the room facing the dragon head", because the situation is urgent, they will go straight to this room without thinking about it. Then step back to confirm the location of the lantern, of course, in order to ensure no accidents, it is very important to arrange among the witnesses and guide them if necessary, after all, Zhao Xiaobing was in the next room at the time."

"That's why you asked me if there were any other Dragon Wrath victims among the eyewitnesses."

"That's right, although I guessed He Yong at first."

"Because he doesn't have a body either, but it's a pity that person is Zeng Wei."

"Zeng Wei is dead, I think, probably due to internal strife."

"Infighting?"

"Didn't you just say that, except for Zhou Gaoan, the death methods of all people are divided into two categories, one is extremely bloody and shocking, and the other is relatively mild and easy to disguise, the latter is Zhao Xiaobing, Zeng Wei, He Yong, and Zeng Wei appeared at the scene of Zhao Xiaobing's death, so I can be sure that the three of them were originally together. As for Zhou Gaoan, he is a bit special, and I can't draw a conclusion yet."

"However, there is one thing you can't explain. Even if everyone went to the wrong place under Zeng Wei's conscious guidance, Zhao Xiaobing had already disappeared in full view before that!"

Liang Shanbai has never really thought about this question. At the very beginning, he had an intuition that Zhao Xiaobing was not dead, and the death scene was wrong. For this reason, Liang Shanbai once considered the problem of the reflection of the plane mirror, that is, the death scene and the fake death. The scene is at a right angle. At this time, a flat mirror placed at a 45-degree angle is installed at the vertex of the right angle, which can make people mistakenly think that what they see is the situation in the room opposite the straight line through reflection, and confuse the scene of death.

But alas, this does not stand up to scrutiny.Because first of all, Zhao Xiaobing disappeared in front of everyone's eyes before everyone rushed to the opposite room, instead of having the illusion of disappearing because of a mistake in the scene after rushing to open the door. It is also impossible to remove the plane mirror in front of everyone behind the completely transparent sun room; secondly, the faucet is a completely transparent sun room, if a plane mirror is installed there, I am afraid that even the interior decoration of the faucet will be reflected in the mirror. Here, this is completely exposed.Therefore, Liang Shanbai got stuck on this point and couldn't figure it out.

"It's simple, flat mirror."

"Huh?" Liang Shanbai raised his head, "But the appearance of the dragon's head will also be reflected in the plane mirror."

"It has nothing to do with dragon heads." Zhu Yingtai said, "Do you usually watch magic tricks?"

"Magic?" Liang Shanbai was surprised for the second time. Apart from the amusement park, it turns out that Zhu Yingtai also likes to watch magic?he thought,

Figure 4: Reasons for Zhao Xiaobing’s disappearance speculated by Liang Shanbai

Mo wrote this down in his heart, and decided to learn some magic in the future, in case Zhu Yingtai is unhappy, he can use it to make him happy.

Zhu Yingtai has nothing to do with him: "It's just that magic was involved in the previous cases I took over."

"But if you don't care, you won't remember these details, right? Then you will only remember the facts of the case."

Zhu Yingtai was immediately stunned by the question, and then had to admit that Liang Shanbai might understand his subconscious thoughts better than himself.Amusement park, and then magic, I don't know how many things my real self has not been realized by himself.

"There is a type of magic called disappearing magic. In fact, most of them use the reflection principle of a flat mirror. The things are still there, but what you see is a virtual image in the mirror."

"I considered placing the mirror on the axis of the faucet..."

"That can only be used to change the location of the scene, but not to achieve the effect of disappearing the corpse in the distant view." Zhu Yingtai said, pointing to the real scene where Zhao Xiaobing hanged himself and the opposite room where he had been.

"These two doors are almost opposite. Although there is a slight angle deviation, by adjusting the position of the flat mirror, we can ensure that the scene in the empty house opposite is reflected as much as possible."

Liang Shanbai looked back and forth, and finally realized: "You mean, Zhao Xiaobing didn't disappear in front of everyone at that time, but a flat mirror suddenly appeared in front of him, and the mirror reflected the scene of an empty room, making people misunderstood. Thought he disappeared in plain sight?"

"This is actually a magic trick performed by many people. A magician locks an elephant or other big things into a space, closes the bamboo gate in front of the audience, and allows the audience to watch the scene inside through the bamboo gate, and then The magician made the appearance of releasing magic, and suddenly a puff of smoke burst out on the stage. After the smoke cleared, the elephant disappeared. In fact, the elephant was still in place. In the puff of smoke, the specially made bamboo The plane mirrors hidden behind each section of bamboo in the gate are pushed out to fill the gaps between the bamboo bars and reflect the background B next to it. The background B is deliberately made in advance to be exactly the same as the background A of the space where the elephant is closed, so that The audience will think the elephant has disappeared."

Liang Shanbai sighed: "It turns out that it is like this. The venue is misleading and disappears out of thin air. This is the combined effect of two tricks."

"No wonder you were inspecting this door just now. The door that was installed well has now lost a screw, causing the hinges to be loose. This means that the door has been completely disassembled and has been remodeled or simply replaced with a mechanism. Door."

"Actually, it was just an accident. I guess afterwards, Zeng Wei sent the other two to call the police or do something else. After he guarded the scene and let Zhao Xiaobing go, he started to change the door back secretly, but because of his nervousness and Time was tight, he might have lost the two screws on the upper hinge, but this was too dangerous, after all, this room was next door to the crime scene, so it was easy to find out, so he had to urgently remove one from another place screw, and that other place, which is Site C where they also installed the fallen chair and had to clean it up, so the upper hinges of both doors are missing a screw."

"I see, but there should be a process to launch the flat mirror. Even if the human eye has residual vision, I'm afraid this time is not enough. The stage is covered with smoke, so what about here?"

"Zeng Wei."

"Um?"

"It's actually very simple. At the beginning, the worker surnamed Shen found someone hanged on the opposite side, but I'm afraid he couldn't tell who it was at the moment. Because the action is more obvious than the face, when people look at it from a distance, the first thing they pay attention to is what the other person is doing. , when they found out that the other party had hanged himself, everyone must have been stunned. At this time, in order to ensure that no one would rush over immediately and destroy the disappearance plan, and also to ensure the implementation of the plan, Zeng Wei took the time to do something. what has to be done.”

"What's up?"

"Shout." Zhu Yingtai yelled, "Zhao Xiaobing committed suicide! When everyone's attention was focused on the other side, this loud yell from close by was enough to make them subconsciously turn their heads to look at Zeng Wei. At this time, Zhao Xiaobing also heard the cry, he quickly activated the control mechanism, the plane mirror was pushed out, and the mirror door was formed. When everyone looked back, Zhao Xiaobing disappeared. Zeng Wei made it clear."

"Two birds with one stone!" Liang Shanbai lamented, "So there are so many little tricks in it. But now we only have inferences, but no evidence."

"Actually, there are, but they are not very reliable." Zhu Yingtai said, "The disappearing rope, the chair, the mirror residue."

"The ones you just watched." Liang Shanbai suddenly realized.

"Well, let's first assume that the three scenes are called the real scene A, the fake scene B, and the empty scene C reflected by the plane mirror. You just said that the police could not find the rope at scene B. In fact, this is because of the fake scene. The strangle marks were prepared in advance, and the real rope was hung next door at scene A. Of course, Zhao Xiaobing and the others could also arrange the fallen chairs at scene B beforehand, and then hang the rope, but in this way, they had to Make three ropes, and use them for the real scene A, the fake scene B and the empty scene C at the same time, and arrange them in advance.

This is a very dangerous thing. One is that it is easy to be smashed by other workers before the plan is implemented.It's kind of weird if someone just throws a chair in an empty room, but it's not impressive, but hanging a rope from a beam is different, because that doesn't happen often; and two, you have to make sure The lengths and shapes of the three ropes are similar; thirdly, this also adds great difficulty to Zeng Wei's short finishing time.You know, in a very short period of time, he must successfully send away the other two witnesses, run to rescue Zhao Xiaobing at the scene A, give him a chair, let him break the rope and let him down, then change the door of the scene A and give him It is too risky to destroy and discard, and then go to site C to clean up the chairs and the ropes hanging high on the beam, and even run upstairs to hang the lantern back to its original position, so the real situation is that the real site A has chair ropes Zhao Xiaobing , Pretend scene B has chairs but no ropes, and empty scene C has chairs but no ropes. "

"So, because there is no rope installed at the C site, the B site has to make the rope disappear."

"That's right. So the evidence we can find is that some of the eyewitnesses may have witnessed some differences in the direction in which Zhao Xiaobing's chair fell in the three places, and the pile of mirror scum just now, but they are not conclusive evidence."

"So that's the case, after all you are the best!" Liang Shanbai admired sincerely.

Zhu Yingtai smiled, and there was a little complacency in his eyes, which made Liang Shanbai's heart itch.

"Then shall we go to the scene of Zeng Wei's death?"

Zhu Yingtai shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary. Zeng Wei is indeed dead, and his death is easy to do without any doubts. I guess there may be internal conflicts among He Yong, Zhao Xiaobing, and Zeng Wei, so other The two of them kept on doing nothing, and simply poisoned him to death. Zeng Wei probably didn't think of taking precautions against his accomplice, so he was killed easily, and He Yong must have been near the scene at the time, in order to prevent Zeng Wei from telling the truth before he died. Anything against him."

Liang Shanbai recalled the confession materials: "That's right, He Yong was also in the rest area at that time. Zeng Wei suddenly yelled at noon that day that I was going to follow the dragon.
