innocence method

?The sheep are gone.

Early the next morning, at the agreed nine o'clock, when everyone showed up in the dining room almost on time—the old man who seemed unable to participate in the experiment—the sheep disappeared.

"It's terrible...that old man—he's dead." After all the staff searched each room one by one to no avail, everyone gathered in the last room they searched—in the courtroom, even the wolf couldn't maintain his composure. drew such a conclusion.

The atmosphere in the courtroom has not changed much.Still water.After listening to the wolf's summary, Qi Geng wanted to give such an evaluation.No matter how warm the air in the residential area is, how peaceful the atmosphere in the courtyard is... as soon as you enter here, the air seems to stop flowing.Is this... really working?Thinking of this, Qi licked his finger and stretched it out to the iron grille of the vent to try it out—there was no movement.

As if catering to his feelings, there were sporadically scattered corpses of greasy insects on the iron-black tabletop like a knight's round table.The mink's body was gone—that's for sure, but the smudges of blood and bits of ballpoint pen left on the carpet, now black and solid, belied what had happened here; and of course—the sheep weren't here either.

"Huh? Dead? I said you are too absolute, uncle!" Monkey objected.

"Unfortunately, unfortunately," Yu said slowly in a sad and sincere tone—"I think so too."

"This place is indeed a place where there are no Tibetans. I admit it. Then you can't be sure that you are dead?" Monkey tried to refute, and after discovering his own inconsistencies, he tried another attack point—"Then I Let me ask you, where is the old man's body?"

"Corpse".Monkey didn't specifically emphasize which words, but as soon as these two words came out, Qi felt the body of the bird sitting next to him tremble.

"Huh." The wolf didn't answer, but laughed contemptuously.Anyway, you are only at that level—that smile reveals this expression every second.

"The body was transported away by the organizer just like the mink's - the murderer must have guessed that this would happen and transported the body here in advance. In addition, there is no place in this confined space where there is no place to hide the body. There is a second possibility." Unlike the wolf, the fish gave the answer concisely.

"I agree." Seven expressed his opinion.

"...That is to say," the monkey seemed to want to win back, and rushed to say, "as long as you find someone who has a chance to put the corpse in the conference room when everyone is not together, you can determine the murderer?"

"Hmph, to put it simply, how can we do it," the dog replied in a drawn-out tone—"We haven't been together for so long since we finished eating yesterday, anyone can fucking have a chance to do it!"

However, upon hearing these words, everyone looked at the dog in surprise.

"What, what are you doing?" The dog was taken aback.

"Don't worry about that stupid killer." The wolf folded his arms and closed his eyes, and even the bird shook his head at the dog almost imperceptibly.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"This one, the door is closed until nine o'clock in the morning, and there is no possibility of hiding the body—that's what it is," replied the fish.

"Huh? Nine o'clock in the morning—is that so?" Qi asked first, as if she was more shocked than a dog.

"Big brother, don't you know that too?" Jelly opened her eyes wide.

"Do you all know?" Qi Yiyi glanced at the faces in the room.

"It can't be counted," Niu shook his head with a seemingly honest expression: "—I discovered it at eleven o'clock in the evening, and opened it at nine o'clock in the morning—"

"I just found out that it closes at eleven o'clock in the evening, but I'm probably the only one who knows that it's open at nine o'clock in the morning." Yu explained to Niu's words, and Qi also quickly understood what he meant—today In the morning, everyone made an appointment in the dining room at nine o'clock. Among the nine people, except for Yang, only Yu was late. "I tried to open the door every 10 minutes in order to confirm the opening time of the conference room door: the door opened on time from one to nine o'clock - if anyone doubts, you can check it in the morning, I believe the door The opening and closing time is fixed. But when I opened the door at nine o’clock, Mr. Yang was not inside. In fact, I went to Mr. Yang’s room to look for him last night, around twelve o’clock, and he was no longer in the room. It was—I didn't pay attention to it at the time; now that I think about it, the murder had happened by then."

"Ah?" After hearing the fish's words, the dog immediately yelled in a hoarse voice, with an expression of being shocked by the other person's stupidity, "Are you an idiot? Does anyone believe such a fucking thing? Are you surrendering yourself?"

"Some people believe it," the monkey curled his lips dismissively, "everyone believes it. Because if you don't go to the old man, he will be executed."

"Ah? Hiss..." The dog suddenly choked up, and seemed to realize something.Yes, you should not express objections to the reason why the fish go to the sheep - "Those who do not participate in the group within 24 hours after the start of the experiment will be executed immediately".

"That is - you killed the old man when you went to find him yesterday, and put the body into this room this morning when you were late!" The dog made another guess.

"You mean to say that the organizer disposes of Mr. Yang's body at the risk of being broken into by the experiment subjects regardless of whether the door is open?" Fish looked sharply.

"Then I don't know! In short, there is no way to rule out this suspicion!"

"Tsk, end this farce as soon as possible!"

"What did you say?" The dog bites whoever it sees now.

"I said——even if it was the corpse hidden by the person that guy killed, it wouldn't be the corpse that was released this morning." Compared with the dog, the wolf's tone seemed calm, confident, and lazy Yes, "That guy was only a minute or two late this morning. He must have rushed over as soon as the door was confirmed to open at 2 o'clock. There is a vertical iron ladder leading to this conference room. Even you can't do it so fast." Just carry the corpse up—plus the reason he said just now, it is absolutely impossible to hide the corpse this morning."

"I think what the wolf said is right—" Qi said in a soothing tone, and before he finished speaking, he heard a strange sound like "splattering" from around him, like wine spilling.He quickly stood up and patted the back of the person who made the sound.

The bird vomited.

I don't know if it's because it's too exciting to repeat "corpse corpse" over and over again, or because I can't help thinking that they are now in the same area where the corpse was once placed-the bird vomited.

"It's all right..." Qi lightly stroked Bird's back, trying to lift her from the ground, but failed, Bird's legs were probably already weak.

"Tut." Seven heard the wolf say.

"Go down and lie down."

Birds don't talk.

"...Hey, did you hear me!"

"...don't..." To Qi's surprise, the bird rejected the wolf.Although the tone was not so firm, the sentence pattern was not so hard, and the body was still limp on the ground, the bird still rejected the wolf.

"Really...a useless woman. Are you so afraid of being alone?" Looking up suddenly, Qi found that the wolf was already standing in front of her... and stretched out her hand to the bird, she couldn't help but lose face.However, even Taka ignored him, the wolf put one hand on the back of Bird's neck, and gently took her legs with the other - just like that, Bird was hugged firmly against his chest.

"This woman probably won't be able to stay in this place anymore. I'm really sorry, everyone, let's change places." The wolf said, using his foot to open the trap door of the room where he and the bird lived, without a second thought , Jumped directly.

It's... really amazing.Listening to his sharp and steady landing sound, Qi did not hide his admiration at all.
