innocence method

"That..." The monkey sitting next to Qi suddenly stood up, "I'll go out for a while."

"Ah," Qiya stood up, "I'll go too." Walking out of the room with Monkey, their behavior didn't seem to attract much attention from everyone. "Wow ah ah - here! This, this!" came from the room behind him, and it seemed that Jelly had found something great and good in the corner of the refrigerator.

"Good - sweet!"

"Only the room where I live has a bathroom... This place is the only one that is inconvenient." Qi said one after another.

"I'm going in this direction." Hou said suddenly, as if he didn't hear what Qi was saying, and then quickly turned away.

Looking at him who parted ways with her, Qi was thoughtful.

When Qi returned to the house, there was only the last one left of the small plate of things that Jelly had just found in the refrigerator.

"Big brother, do you want to eat?" With a happy smile on her face, the girl raised the plate with both hands.It's a white dumpling. It doesn't look special, but the curvature on the surface looks quite soft.Qi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Jelly was talking to herself.

"Okay...thank you."

"It's delicious! Red beans and glutinous rice are my favorite!"

"yes."

Hearing this voice, everyone raised their heads.The warm dumpling is still in Qi's palm, neither to put it away nor to put it away.

The monkey stood at the door.When did you come back?

"That - I thought it was something between you and me." He said as if looking at the air.

What does "that" refer to?Who was he talking to?

With his eyes sunk in the shadow of the brim of his hat, the boy opened the door connecting the infirmary and the dining room a little wider, "You guys, come here."

"Next, I'm going to officially expose the prisoner who killed the fish—the meaning of 'where were you hiding at that time'—I've figured it out!"

(See the figure below for the distribution of experimental sites)

Qi already understood where the monkey went just now, and why he called everyone to this room next to the gym.

"'Where I was hiding'—trying to understand what that means, I feel like I really need to come and see where I was 'hiding'. That is—"

The doorway to the door that connected the infirmary to the gymnasium—where the crowd stood now.

"And then I was looking out through this window at that time."

--I see.

"That's right," said the wolf. "It seems to be a little bit interesting. Just tell me."

"What? What can I see from here?" The only one who seems to be unclear is the cow.

"I saw the fish sitting on the tea table in the yard—"

"That's not what was said before—"

"—But, I didn't see any jelly."

"Ah? Ahh? Monkey! Be careful when speaking! Are you saying that Jelly is the murderer!" Niu was talking, looking at the ceiling indiscriminately—as if he could really see the invisible monitor.Compared with what Monkey wanted to explain, he seemed to care more about the consequences if Monkey wronged him.

"I know, the angle of the window here and the shade of the trees in the courtyard - only one of the two teahouses can be seen." Qi looked out of the window and said, he himself had the same experience - fish and monkeys this afternoon While talking, he only saw the silhouette of Yuren through this window. "Monkey, do you mean that the fish was sitting here alone when you watched it? Jelly—" I couldn't help but glance at Jelly, and saw the girl with her hands folded behind her back leaning against the wall, her eyes wide open— —Although surprised, but not yet expressing sadness——“So jelly has time to do the crime? Then I don’t understand, you saw the two of them not only in this window——through the window twice Didn't you see the jelly man in the yard? Also, since you 'didn't see', why did you say you 'saw' then?"

Seven refers to the time when the case of Yang confirms everyone's alibi.

"I saw it, I did see it," said the monkey, "I saw jelly twice when I walked across the yard—and it was indeed jelly, it couldn't be anyone else. But around nine twenty-five I saw jelly." I saw jelly once, and saw jelly again at 25:10. What does this mean? One hour, four and [-] minutes are more than enough to kill people and hide corpses before returning to the yard! They probably saw me there, so they deliberately let the fish Sit down and pretend to be talking to someone and pretend to be an alibi!" He didn't answer Qi's last question, but Qi didn't intend to ask further.

"That's right. I saw her when I came here, and I saw her when I came back. No matter who she is, she will always be there." He smoothed things out for the monkey.

"The next step will be simple." Monkey said, the content was as clear as thunder, but the voice was short of spirit.The young man kept looking at the ground, and spoke very fast and in a flat tone: "The cooperative relationship between fish and jelly broke down. He hinted to me that the real murderer of the sheep murder case was jelly - jelly discovered this, so he killed him."

After listening to his words, everyone fell into silence.

"Evidence—" someone said suddenly.Everyone's eyes converged on her point.

"The proof of my murder—what is it?"

"There are a lot of contradictions in your reasoning just now-so many that I don't bother to expose them!"

"You said it yourself. The fish suddenly realized when they heard you'where you were hiding at that time'. If it was to imply that you were the murderer, why did you suddenly realize it? Strange. And if the fish wants to tell you that I am the murderer, Why didn't I tell you directly? At that time, it was just the two of you alone! Is there anything scary about him? It's strange. And then again, he doesn't need to pass on the information of who the murderer is to you— Can't he say it himself? The rules of this game say that detectives can't kill people, but it doesn't say that killers can't solve cases—if there is such a rule, wouldn't it be possible to tell who is the killer and who is the detective? Yours The reasoning is so weird!"

After saying the above words in one breath, Jelly walked to the middle of the room.Qi could only watch the pair of small red heels walking silently to the center of the vortex on the soft floor of the infirmary.Together with the moss-covered courtyard, there is no place in this experimental site that makes a sound when walking.

"Perhaps—it's because the fish is a killer? Because you see, although a killer can solve a case, isn't there no way to reduce the sentence even if the case is solved? Since the fish is out of the group, there is no other way, so the fish thinks— ——Just tell the answer to someone in the team! Look, is that the case?” Niu tried his best to consolidate the monkey’s reasoning, and the sweat on the tip of his nose was almost dripping into his mouth.He looked at the wolf, then at Qi, but Qi shook his head—"Sorry cow, I really don't know."

"Those are not important." The monkey interrupted the cow's justification, such as cutting off the air in the room. "The important thing is—fish, if you weren't there at all during those two hours—" He raised his head, looking directly at Jelly, slowly, dangerously, but finally facing his fate—"except Can you explain otherwise?"

...Jel was stunned.But then he laughed.The girl's clear laughter resounded like a bell.

"Hahaha, haha," she said, "Yes! Besides, what the fish said clearly—you are the murderer!"

"The murderer is... me?" Perhaps Qi had misread it, but she pulled down the brim of her hat a little, and when she showed her face again, there was a smile in Monkey's eyes. "Jelly, isn't it beautiful to jump over the wall in a hurry?"

"I never wanted you to think I was beautiful. There is only one person I can trust in this room," she looked down at the fish's body—"That person is not you."

"...Really." "I see."

"Do it if you can! If you really think——I'm a murderer."
