"Then let's look for it first," Gu Yuan said casually, "see where the murder weapon was thrown."
Anyway, there are not many clues now, and starting with the murder weapon is considered a conventional idea.Everyone nodded and didn't say much, they went looking around, and soon found a small knife in the compartment where the sundries were placed in the corner of the bathroom - it was not too big or too small, and compared it with the wound on the woman's body fit.
"There is still some blood stains on it that haven't been cleaned." Gu Yuan held the knife and looked at it. He glanced at Hang Xiutu, "The murder weapon used to strangle people last time had to fall on the scene, which exposed some key flaws. With a good memory, I know that I have hidden the murder weapon."
"But it's not very useful." Gu Yuan casually shook the sharp blade in his hand, "I suggest that the next murderer spend some effort to damage the wound."
"Okay," Xun Xu frowned slightly, stepped forward and "snatched" the knife from Gu Yuan's hand, his tone was still polite and reserved, "Sir, don't do anything that might harm you."
Gu Yuan didn't expect that he would be "disciplined" at all, his brows trembled, he didn't say much, he just glanced at Xun Xu one more time, and obediently handed over the knife.
The bullet screen was stunned:
[Fuck?Are they the next pair? ? ? ]
[Old rules, which pair is knocked on by the camera]
[Knock him!You are welcome, sisters! ]
[Tsundere fried hair, high IQ, shou and taciturn control, strong belly black attack, I can, I can]
[The sisters in front of me look like veterans]
The feet of the sisters who have been squatting on the love line of the big and small hangs are numb, and they can't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed:
[Why doesn't simple have a relationship line yet! ]
[I do not believe!Those two people are absolutely tricky! ]
[It's too cryptic!I’m going to starve to death if I don’t hit Shuanghang again]
[I'm different from you, I just like the "secret love that can't be revealed", hehehehe (wiping saliva.jpg)]
"We found the murder weapon," Gu Yuan thought for a while, "Let's go find the butler again."
The postman cast a puzzled look: "?"
"There is a lot of information that can be traced back to the murder weapon," Gu Yuan said slowly as he walked, and the others had no choice but to follow him. We can get other information on the status."
"First, it's different from the messy and intertwined strangle marks on the necks of the two corpses yesterday. This time, a small knife was inserted straight into the heart and killed with one blow." Gu Yuan paused. He has a clear attack plan and sufficient mobility, and has a certain understanding of the physiological knowledge of the human body."
Hang Xiutu next to him knew that this person meant something, but he just smiled lightly and didn't speak.
"Second," Gu Yuan saw that Hang Xiutu still had a "face" of pity for the world, "tsk" and continued, "This knife was taken out of a public place where everyone can enter and exit, and finally thrown in the In public places, it looks like everyone has potential access. Even so, there is still information to be unearthed.”
"Excavation?" repeated the postman blankly.
Just as they were talking, several people had already returned to the kitchen, and the postman hurriedly took a step back behind Xun Xu—this person seemed to be the most normal among the few people present.
"Mr. Housekeeper, what you lost." Gu Yuan took the knife from Xun Xu's hand and swung it at Hang Yang.
Seeing the cold light reflected from the knife in mid-air, the postman gasped at Xun Xu's back, but Hang Yang didn't raise his head, and caught it firmly with his hand.
He fiddled with the knife in his hand twice, turned around slowly, and nodded at Gu Yuan: "Thank you."
"There is something else I want to trouble you with." Gu Yuan smiled and leaned forward like a normal person, "After you pack up the tableware for dinner, you will lock the kitchen door until you prepare breakfast the next morning, right? "
Hang Yang nodded: "yes."
"Then you spend most of your time in the kitchen during the day," Gu Yuan continued to ask, "Have you seen anyone come here to get things?"
Hang Yang's expression was cold, and he didn't seem to care about the case, but he answered decisively: "No."
The postman suddenly let go of his clenched hands, and he was discouraged all of a sudden: "Hey, hey, I thought there was hope..."
Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Then can you tell us, when did you leave the kitchen yesterday?"
The postman made a real joke: "Oh, yes, push back! Teacher, you are so smart! You are worthy of being a teacher!"
Hang Yang blinked his eyes so beautifully that they were fake: "Of course."
"My working hours are very regular," he said in a nice voice, especially when he was talking, just like Qingquan, "I finish washing the dishes at about 9 am, go back to my room to rest, and return to the kitchen at 10 am; arrive at 3:4 pm Go back to your room at [-]:[-] and rest."
"Very regular?" Gu Yuan asked again.
But Hang Yang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a warm smile: "You are almost done, why bother to ask again? My fixed whereabouts should be a 'secret' that everyone here knows well."
Gu Yuan: "..."
Barrage:
[Hahahahaha!Gu Yuan: Let me just ask symbolically, why are you tearing down my station! ]
[Hahahahaha Yang Zai actually got angry]
[Look these days pretending to be elegant and holding back the child (狗头.jpg)]
Gu Yuan deliberately coughed twice: "Then what, thank you butler, let's take a step first."
Several people returned to the living room and sat down.
"9:10 am to 24:[-] am..." Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, "The first double homicide case happened at that time. At that time, oh yes, the housekeeper's '[-] hours before solving the case or murder' restriction was issued just now."
Xun Xu nodded: "Indeed, it's unreasonable to start preparing to kill people at this time."
"No matter how big your heart is, you should be thinking about saving your own life at that time, instead of thinking about killing other people?" Gu Yuan tapped his finger on the table.
"As for 03:30 to [-]:[-] p.m.," Gu Yuan smiled, "coincidentally, at that time, the first case had just been solved, and I was enjoying the spring breeze, playing chess with Mr. Xun Xu, who I just made friends with, in the living room."
Xun Xu nodded: "I can testify for him."
Although everyone's speaking speed and demeanor did not change significantly, it could be clearly felt that the atmosphere in the castle seemed to be in a strange tension.
Gu Yuan turned his head and glanced at Hang Xiutu with a strange expression: "Mr. Priest, you seem to be saying that you are mentally exhausted, so go back to your room to rest?"
"Mental fatigue," he repeated, meaningfully, "who knew—"
He was halfway through speaking when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He raised his head to meet Shanghang Xiutu's eyes, and swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out in fright for a moment.
——Hang Xiutu looked down at Gu Yuan from a high position, he still had that kind of mask-like "compassionate" smile on his face, but there was no smile at all in his eyes, the emotions on the upper half of his face and the lower half of his face were almost split, the whole People are "half divine and half demonic", which is creepy to see.
The barrage was also taken aback:
[Fuck!Teacher Hang nb!What is blackening without makeup! ! ! ]
[This acting skill, my God, what does it mean to have perfected it! ]
[I tremble with fright]
[The two Mr. Hang really don't consider going into horror films? ! !It is incumbent on the revitalization of domestic horror films! ]
[Mom, is this the oppressive force at the boss level?Teacher Hang, if it wasn't for Duke N, I would have fought with the production team directly! ]
Hang Xiutu strode to the sofa opposite Gu Yuan, and sat down gracefully: "Since the incident, you seem to have been immersed in your own world, feeling that everything is dominated by you..."
He raised his hand and drew a semicircle in the air with his index finger: "With the cooperation of this writer, from checking, to tracking clues, to the so-called whitewashing of doubts in himself-all of these, how smooth it is."
Gu Yuan said: "Because these are all facts—"
"Shut up." Hang Xiutu raised his eyelids and glanced over with a smile.
It was as if the mute button had been pressed, and there was an instant silence, even the sound of breathing became much quieter.
"But you seem to have made some mistakes, some very important things," Hang Xiutu continued to speak unhurriedly. He crossed his fingers and gently held his chin, revealing only a pair of eyes with an astonishing sense of oppression. "This is not an investigation. , the rules of this game could not have been more clear from the very beginning, this is a game of 'persuading the butler'. Understand? Tell him a story that is reasonable and - most importantly - interesting enough, then Will suffice."
"As for the truth," Hang Xiutu laughed, "is it important?"
Not only Gu Yuan, but even the audience were shocked by Hang Xiutu's interpretation of the rules:
[Is this the real high play? ! ! ! ! ]
[I'm fucking shocked! ! ! ]
[Wori, Mr. Hang, your boss temperament is bursting! ]
[Shock me 800 years, oh my! ]
[The key point is that I was persuaded by him, so let me go! ]
Gu Yuan's rhythm was completely disrupted, and his mind suddenly became a mess.The hand pointing at Hang Xiutu trembled in the air for a long time, but he couldn't say anything, and finally he could only choke out a hoarse accusation: "You, you finally couldn't help it, did you pretend to be merciful, hypocritical, and still a believer in the truth? ……I bother!"
"..." Hang Xiutu didn't expect that Gu Yuan held back for a long time, and finally said something like a child's anger. He couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed softly.
"You!" Gu Yuan felt insulted and stood up angrily with his eyes wide open.
"I want you to understand one fact." Hang Xiutu interrupted him nonchalantly again, looking at the person in front of him "kindly", with a gentle smile on his lips.
"I am the truth if I will."
The hall was completely silent, because there were no doors and windows around, so even the sound of the flowing wind could not be heard, it was so quiet that it was maddening.
"By the way," Hang Xiutu turned to the postman and asked casually, "Mr. Teacher just accused me of being alone between 3:4 and [-]:[-] yesterday afternoon, so I'm suspected of committing a crime. From what the two of them mean, you seem to..."
"I, I, I'm going back to my room too." The postman was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.
"That's a coincidence," Hang Xiutu nodded, looked at Gu Yuan, and said casually, "I was with Mr. Postman yesterday afternoon. You two can testify for each other. Coincidentally, Mr. Postman and I can too."
Gu Yuan was again shocked by the way he talked nonsense in front of him: "You! You! He just said that he was alone in his bedroom."
"Really?" Hang Xiutu looked at the postman, "Mr. Teacher, did you hear it wrong? Mr. Postman, why don't you tell him again?"
Ever since Gu Yuan talked about the alibi yesterday afternoon, the postman was fidgeting, he was stunned for a second, then he understood what Hang Xiutu meant, immediately took the olive branch from the priest, and made up nonsense on the spot: "Yes, yes, yes! I confessed in the priest’s room yesterday afternoon!”
Hang Xiutu looked at him with kind eyes: "You are pious and repentant, and your guilt has been forgiven."
This time, it wasn't just Gu Yuan who was stunned, but the barrage was also swiped on the screen, and it was a vast grassland as far as the eye could see:
[Grass]
[Grass]
[Grass]
[Grass]
……
Hang Xiutu turned his gaze away from the postman and looked back at Yuan: "Since this is the case, the four of us are temporarily tied. Why don't you continue to look for clues and make calculations. Don't worry, 24 hours is still far away."
After finishing speaking, he took the postman, his new dog, and got up and left leisurely.
The barrage has almost been overwhelmed by "md absolutely":
[Fuck, is this Mr. Hang's first variety show! ]
[Holy shit, shit!I really am ah ah ah]
[It's so handsome, Mr. Hang! ]
[Give it to me immediately!immediately!Now!Go play the villain! (with Yang Cub]
[Ahhhhhh why does this man always poke me like this xp! ! ! ]
[I'm already excited, wipe off the nosebleed and continue watching hehehe (Shengjibobo.jpg)]
……
This time, the murderer did not leave much evidence at the scene. A reasoning game was played by Hang Xiutu and Gu Yuan into a "two-player game". The audience was "overwhelmed", and the speed of processing information in the ears, eyes and brain could not keep up with the mouths of these two people.
Except for the densely packed "fucking holes" on the bullet screen, basically nothing else can be seen.
Now the only four remaining players form a "one party" to compete with each other in pairs, and the "battle situation" is getting more and more anxious.
An afternoon passed quickly, and it was almost evening, and the time limit of Hang Yang's "24 hours" was getting closer and closer.Now there are only four people left in the castle except Hang Yang. If he can't give him a satisfactory explanation tomorrow morning, Hang Yang will kill someone immediately... With a probability of [-]/[-], even the murderer is very worried.
Several people became more and more irritable at a speed visible to the naked eye. The hands on the clock turned round and round, and it seemed that it was already night——
Suddenly, the door of the businessman's wife was pushed open, and Hang Xiutu walked in panting slightly, with a rare look of anxiety on his face.
The postman was pacing back and forth in this room in a hurry. Seeing his expression, he felt a "thump" in his heart: "My lord priest! My lord! What's wrong with you?!"
Hang Xiutu barely controlled his expression, but his brows were still furrowed: "They have played a new trick."
The postman's heart beat wildly: "What, what?!"
"Do you remember that the two of them mentioned before," Hang Xiutu rubbed his temples, "that they saw a red thing flashing past the corridor in the middle of the night."
The postman eagerly said: "Isn't that nonsense?! I remember you have refuted it enough!"
"None of the bright red dresses in the room of the remaining four of us!" the postman's voice grew louder. "Only in the room of the two dead women."
Unexpectedly, Hang Xiutu sighed softly: "I was careless, I was clever but was mistaken by my cleverness, and woke them up."
He pressed his hand against the wall, and it was obvious that he wanted to try his best to calm his mind, but the white finger bones still exposed his mind: "Since it can be fabricated, it can also be framed."
The postman was shocked: "What did you say!"
Hang Xiutu said in a deep voice, "They put the red scarves and gloves of the two ladies in our room, probably trying to catch us all..."
"How can you be so despicable!" The postman jumped up, "Let's hurry to—"
"It's too late." Hang Xiutu interrupted him, "They have already invited the housekeeper over, and they are now telling a story they made up."
"I listened to the beginning," Hang Xiutu sighed softly, "It's perfect, the time is very accurate, it is said that I saw red at 11:50 last night..."
"What did you say!" The postman was stunned for a moment, and the irritability on his face slowly turned into unbelievable surprise. He was overjoyed, "No, no, no! Father! They lost!"
The postman experienced great sorrow and great joy repeatedly in a day. It may be that he suddenly saw the dawn of victory, and he was so excited: "Last night, the housekeeper put out the candles in the living room 13 minutes earlier than usual. ghost-"
"Oh?" In an instant, all the expressions on Hang Xiutu's face disappeared, and the vivid "annoyance", "fear", "exhaustion" and "surprise" just now disappeared without a trace.
He looked at the postman, as if the "revolutionary friendship of sharing weal and woe" never existed on this day: "You have repeatedly emphasized to us that you didn't go out after 10 o'clock last night. How do you know when the housekeeper turns off the lights? You know it in such detail ,Um?"
The barrage was stunned by the sudden second reversal, and the barrage was extremely spectacular:
[Fuck]
[Fuck]
[Fuck]
……
As if a thunderbolt fell on his head, the postman was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Hang Xiutu at a loss, his expression was completely frozen, and he looked like a fool.
"Come in." Hang Xiutu clapped his hands, and people outside the door rushed in - Gu Yuan, Xun Xu and the most important thing: the butler Hang Yang.
"You, you, you..." The postman pointed to the people in front of him, unable to utter a word.
"That's it," Gu Yuan smiled and walked in front of the postman, "Yesterday from 3:4 to [-]:[-] p.m., it wasn't Mr. Writer and I who gathered in the living room, but me, the writer, and the priest."
"But, relying on this little clue alone is not enough to convict you," Gu Yuan waved his hand regretfully, "You know how to kill people, and your techniques are quite sophisticated, and you can kill them with one knife. In fact, the simpler and more direct the technique, the more difficult it is. check."
"It would be great if those two girls had your skills and mentality," Gu Yuan said "tsk", a little regretful, "It's a pity that they are so smart."
The postman seemed to have been punched in the face, and he looked at the people in front of him in disbelief: "So, since you lied that there were only two people in the living room, you are lying to me!"
"No, no, no," Gu Yuan walked two steps with a smile, "Earlier, since the first time I quarreled with Mr. Priest."
"How is it possible!" the postman shouted, "impossible, impossible! This is impossible! How did you find out!"
Gu Yuan slowly showed an unpredictable smile: "We have our own reasons for locking you, so I don't need to bother you."
The postman stared at him like he was watching a ghost.
Gu Yuan put his hands behind his back and took a few steps slowly: "Our goal is to 'force' the priest into your camp, to make you trust him and rely on him completely new, to make you believe that you are closely united interests as a whole..."
"So don't be sorry," Gu Yuan squatted in front of the postman, "As long as we deliberately guide you, even if you don't reveal your secrets this time, you will next time."
"You, you!" The postman was trembling violently. He turned to Hang Xiutu, his eyes were so angry that he almost spit fire, "I trust you so much!"
Hang Xiutu nodded lightly, everyone could see how carefree his answer was: "Thank you."
Hang Yang, who had been watching everything silently from behind, walked up to the crowd, looked down at the postman who was slumped on the ground, and lifted up the person in front of him who was half a head taller than him with involuntary force: "Mr. Postman, please. "
The postman's lips were trembling, and his eyes were like poisoned knives, gouging out everyone: "You guys! Dirty, dirty! Dogs of nobles!"
"Oh~" Gu Yuan took a long shot at the end of the tune, "It turns out that the famous 'Noble Hunter' is also among us. I'm sorry, it's really appropriate for you to use the postman as a disguise! You can come and go as you should. The residence of a nobleman will not be remembered, after all, he is just an inconspicuous inferior person..."
"Get out!" The postman gave him a vicious look, and continued to curse.
Hang Yang, however, was too lazy to watch his dying performance, stared at him blankly, and repeated in a non-fluctuating tone: "Sir, please."
Who knew, the moment his voice fell, the postman suddenly roared "I hate betrayal the most", and then stretched out his hand like crazy and rushed towards Hang Xiutu——
"Pfft!"
When everyone came to their senses again, the postman was clutching the artery in his neck, and a large amount of bright red hot blood spurted out from it, staining the sheets and the floor scarlet.
The postman staggered for two steps with his eyes wide open, then fell to the floor with a "boom" and was silent again.
The remaining three looked at Hang Yang in shock, only to see him walking slowly towards the big bed, twisting up a piece of white cloth that hadn't been stained with blood, and wiping the knife in his hand without haste - just like the postman who killed people last night The very similar.
"Sorry, the execution method is a bit harsh." He spoke casually, then turned to look at the others, and smiled slightly, "Everyone, please go back, I wish you good night."
The barrage said that today I experienced what is called a heart roller coaster. The whole person was hung and crazily thrown, and the heartbeat did not exceed 90 during the whole process.
[Intense "billion points"? ? ? ]
[What just happened? ? ? ]
[Mist Grass! ]
[My little heart ah ah ah]
[Yang Yang is handsome! ! ! ]
[I, can I knock a little? ]
……
Three words slowly popped up on the gradually darkening screen—the third night.
The third night of "The Staircase" is approaching, the huge castle is terribly quiet, and the expressionless beautiful butler has disposed of four corpses and one living person on the third-floor rooftop. Now, only For the three residents, the depression of death is getting heavier.
At night, Xun Xu suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked softly, "Who?"
"Me." Gu Yuan's voice came from outside.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, in this murderous place, Xun Xu opened the door without hesitation, dragged the person in first, then probed out to look left and right, and carefully closed the door after making sure there was no one there.
"You're crazy!" Xun Xu lowered his voice as much as possible, "I live next door to the priest!"
"I know." Gu Yuan stared into his eyes without fear.
He walked to the side of the bed and leaned down: "Is it still necessary to pretend to be a fool?"
Gu Yuan blinked: "Duke N is next door, do you want to kill him? Let's go together."
The candles flickered in the not-so-big room, reflecting Hang Xiutu's handsome face and the flipping book in his hand.
It is very quiet here, so quiet that you can hear the rustling of fingers rubbing the pages of the book, and the slight sound of burning candles.
Suddenly, Hang Xiutu turned over a page lightly, and he said without looking back: "You shouldn't be here."
Only then did the camera slowly pull up and cast it on Hang Yang in the corner.
Hang Yang didn't answer right away. He walked to Hang Xiutu first, then slowly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, master. My killing today was too reckless, which may cause your identity to be exposed in advance..."
"It's not your fault," Hang Xiutu said slowly, "It's not 'in advance' either. If they can't figure it out at this point, they are hopelessly stupid."
"In this case," Hang Yang's tone became urgent. This is the first time "Stairway" has been aired since its inception. "Please allow me to kill them!"
"No." Hang Xiutu interrupted him, "Go back to your room."
Hang Yang didn't answer, but knelt on one knee on the ground in silence.
After a few seconds of pause, Hang Xiutu sighed softly, turned his gaze to Hang Yang, and calmed down silently.
He patted Hang Yang's head: "well, stay if you stay. Don't kneel down, go to bed."
Hang Yang stood up, and finally there was light in his eyes, like a painted dragon's eyes, and his whole body was like a broken rhinestone, so beautiful that it couldn't be more beautiful.
He looked at Hang Xiutu with a solemn voice, as if swearing his life: "I will protect you, for sure."
Barrage:
[Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah]
[Sipi vs Xipi!Sippy duel I can! ]
There are also large quantities of:
[simple is finally here!Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]
[I knew these two people must have an affair! ]
[Ah ah ah, the look in his eyes is not clean! ! !Both of you are unclean! ! ! ]
and neatly:
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
……
The author has something to say:
Let me tell you how Gu Yuan and Xun Xu locked the postman. It's really, really simple. They just bully the postman. 250 can't understand the situation:
1. In the end, it can be seen that Gu Yuan and Xun Xu have already confessed
2. It is not difficult to guess that Erhang is the Duke. He is a member of the stage and also a theater watcher. He will not tear down his own stage
Anyway, there are not many clues now, and starting with the murder weapon is considered a conventional idea.Everyone nodded and didn't say much, they went looking around, and soon found a small knife in the compartment where the sundries were placed in the corner of the bathroom - it was not too big or too small, and compared it with the wound on the woman's body fit.
"There is still some blood stains on it that haven't been cleaned." Gu Yuan held the knife and looked at it. He glanced at Hang Xiutu, "The murder weapon used to strangle people last time had to fall on the scene, which exposed some key flaws. With a good memory, I know that I have hidden the murder weapon."
"But it's not very useful." Gu Yuan casually shook the sharp blade in his hand, "I suggest that the next murderer spend some effort to damage the wound."
"Okay," Xun Xu frowned slightly, stepped forward and "snatched" the knife from Gu Yuan's hand, his tone was still polite and reserved, "Sir, don't do anything that might harm you."
Gu Yuan didn't expect that he would be "disciplined" at all, his brows trembled, he didn't say much, he just glanced at Xun Xu one more time, and obediently handed over the knife.
The bullet screen was stunned:
[Fuck?Are they the next pair? ? ? ]
[Old rules, which pair is knocked on by the camera]
[Knock him!You are welcome, sisters! ]
[Tsundere fried hair, high IQ, shou and taciturn control, strong belly black attack, I can, I can]
[The sisters in front of me look like veterans]
The feet of the sisters who have been squatting on the love line of the big and small hangs are numb, and they can't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed:
[Why doesn't simple have a relationship line yet! ]
[I do not believe!Those two people are absolutely tricky! ]
[It's too cryptic!I’m going to starve to death if I don’t hit Shuanghang again]
[I'm different from you, I just like the "secret love that can't be revealed", hehehehe (wiping saliva.jpg)]
"We found the murder weapon," Gu Yuan thought for a while, "Let's go find the butler again."
The postman cast a puzzled look: "?"
"There is a lot of information that can be traced back to the murder weapon," Gu Yuan said slowly as he walked, and the others had no choice but to follow him. We can get other information on the status."
"First, it's different from the messy and intertwined strangle marks on the necks of the two corpses yesterday.

He has a clear attack plan and sufficient mobility, and has a certain understanding of the physiological knowledge of the human body."
Hang Xiutu next to him knew that this person meant something, but he just smiled lightly and didn't speak.
"Second," Gu Yuan saw that Hang Xiutu still had a "face" of pity for the world, "tsk" and continued, "This knife was taken out of a public place where everyone can enter and exit, and finally thrown in the In public places, it looks like everyone has potential access.

"Mr. Housekeeper, what you lost." Gu Yuan took the knife from Xun Xu's hand and swung it at Hang Yang.
Seeing the cold light reflected from the knife in mid-air, the postman gasped at Xun Xu's back, but Hang Yang didn't raise his head, and caught it firmly with his hand.
He fiddled with the knife in his hand twice, turned around slowly, and nodded at Gu Yuan: "Thank you."
"There is something else I want to trouble you with." Gu Yuan smiled and leaned forward like a normal person, "After you pack up the tableware for dinner, you will lock the kitchen door until you prepare breakfast the next morning, right? "
Hang Yang nodded: "yes."

Hang Yang blinked his eyes so beautifully that they were fake: "Of course."
"My working hours are very regular," he said in a nice voice, especially when he was talking, just like Qingquan, "I finish washing the dishes at about 9 am, go back to my room to rest, and return to the kitchen at 10 am; arrive at 3:4 pm Go back to your room at [-]:[-] and rest."
"Very regular?" Gu Yuan asked again.
But Hang Yang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a warm smile: "You are almost done, why bother to ask again? My fixed whereabouts should be a 'secret' that everyone here knows well."
Gu Yuan: "..."

[Mom, is this the oppressive force at the boss level?Teacher Hang, if it wasn't for Duke N, I would have fought with the production team directly! ]
Hang Xiutu strode to the sofa opposite Gu Yuan, and sat down gracefully: "Since the incident, you seem to have been immersed in your own world, feeling that everything is dominated by you..."
He raised his hand and drew a semicircle in the air with his index finger: "With the cooperation of this writer, from checking, to tracking clues, to the so-called whitewashing of doubts in himself-all of these, how smooth it is."
Gu Yuan said: "Because these are all facts—"
"Shut up." Hang Xiutu raised his eyelids and glanced over with a smile.
It was as if the mute button had been pressed, and there was an instant silence, even the sound of breathing became much quieter.
"But you seem to have made some mistakes, some very important things," Hang Xiutu continued to speak unhurriedly. He crossed his fingers and gently held his chin, revealing only a pair of eyes with an astonishing sense of oppression. "This is not an investigation. , the rules of this game could not have been more clear from the very beginning, this is a game of 'persuading the butler'. Understand? Tell him a story that is reasonable and - most importantly - interesting enough, then Will suffice."
"As for the truth," Hang Xiutu laughed, "is it important?"
Not only Gu Yuan, but even the audience were shocked by Hang Xiutu's interpretation of the rules:
[Is this the real high play? ! ! ! ! ]
[I'm fucking shocked! ! ! ]
[Wori, Mr. Hang, your boss temperament is bursting! ]
[Shock me 800 years, oh my! ]
[The key point is that I was persuaded by him, so let me go! ]
Gu Yuan's rhythm was completely disrupted, and his mind suddenly became a mess.The hand pointing at Hang Xiutu trembled in the air for a long time, but he couldn't say anything, and finally he could only choke out a hoarse accusation: "You, you finally couldn't help it, did you pretend to be merciful, hypocritical, and still a believer in the truth? ……I bother!"
"..." Hang Xiutu didn't expect that Gu Yuan held back for a long time, and finally said something like a child's anger. He couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed softly.
"You!" Gu Yuan felt insulted and stood up angrily with his eyes wide open.
"I want you to understand one fact." Hang Xiutu interrupted him nonchalantly again, looking at the person in front of him "kindly", with a gentle smile on his lips.
"I am the truth if I will."
The hall was completely silent, because there were no doors and windows around, so even the sound of the flowing wind could not be heard, it was so quiet that it was maddening.
"By the way," Hang Xiutu turned to the postman and asked casually, "Mr. Teacher just accused me of being alone between 3:4 and [-]:[-] yesterday afternoon, so I'm suspected of committing a crime. From what the two of them mean, you seem to..."
"I, I, I'm going back to my room too." The postman was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.
"That's a coincidence," Hang Xiutu nodded, looked at Gu Yuan, and said casually, "I was with Mr. Postman yesterday afternoon. You two can testify for each other. Coincidentally, Mr. Postman and I can too."
Gu Yuan was again shocked by the way he talked nonsense in front of him: "You! You! He just said that he was alone in his bedroom."
"Really?" Hang Xiutu looked at the postman, "Mr. Teacher, did you hear it wrong? Mr. Postman, why don't you tell him again?"
Ever since Gu Yuan talked about the alibi yesterday afternoon, the postman was fidgeting, he was stunned for a second, then he understood what Hang Xiutu meant, immediately took the olive branch from the priest, and made up nonsense on the spot: "Yes, yes, yes! I confessed in the priest’s room yesterday afternoon!”
Hang Xiutu looked at him with kind eyes: "You are pious and repentant, and your guilt has been forgiven."
This time, it wasn't just Gu Yuan who was stunned, but the barrage was also swiped on the screen, and it was a vast grassland as far as the eye could see:
[Grass]
[Grass]
[Grass]
[Grass]
……
Hang Xiutu turned his gaze away from the postman and looked back at Yuan: "Since this is the case, the four of us are temporarily tied. Why don't you continue to look for clues and make calculations. Don't worry, 24 hours is still far away."
After finishing speaking, he took the postman, his new dog, and got up and left leisurely.
The barrage has almost been overwhelmed by "md absolutely":
[Fuck, is this Mr. Hang's first variety show! ]
[Holy shit, shit!I really am ah ah ah]
[It's so handsome, Mr. Hang! ]
[Give it to me immediately!immediately!Now!Go play the villain! (with Yang Cub]
[Ahhhhhh why does this man always poke me like this xp! ! ! ]
[I'm already excited, wipe off the nosebleed and continue watching hehehe (Shengjibobo.jpg)]
……
This time, the murderer did not leave much evidence at the scene. A reasoning game was played by Hang Xiutu and Gu Yuan into a "two-player game". The audience was "overwhelmed", and the speed of processing information in the ears, eyes and brain could not keep up with the mouths of these two people.
Except for the densely packed "fucking holes" on the bullet screen, basically nothing else can be seen.
Now the only four remaining players form a "one party" to compete with each other in pairs, and the "battle situation" is getting more and more anxious.
An afternoon passed quickly, and it was almost evening, and the time limit of Hang Yang's "24 hours" was getting closer and closer.Now there are only four people left in the castle except Hang Yang. If he can't give him a satisfactory explanation tomorrow morning, Hang Yang will kill someone immediately... With a probability of [-]/[-], even the murderer is very worried.
Several people became more and more irritable at a speed visible to the naked eye. The hands on the clock turned round and round, and it seemed that it was already night——
Suddenly, the door of the businessman's wife was pushed open, and Hang Xiutu walked in panting slightly, with a rare look of anxiety on his face.
The postman was pacing back and forth in this room in a hurry. Seeing his expression, he felt a "thump" in his heart: "My lord priest! My lord! What's wrong with you?!"
Hang Xiutu barely controlled his expression, but his brows were still furrowed: "They have played a new trick."
The postman's heart beat wildly: "What, what?!"
"Do you remember that the two of them mentioned before," Hang Xiutu rubbed his temples, "that they saw a red thing flashing past the corridor in the middle of the night."
The postman eagerly said: "Isn't that nonsense?! I remember you have refuted it enough!"
"None of the bright red dresses in the room of the remaining four of us!" the postman's voice grew louder. "Only in the room of the two dead women."
Unexpectedly, Hang Xiutu sighed softly: "I was careless, I was clever but was mistaken by my cleverness, and woke them up."
He pressed his hand against the wall, and it was obvious that he wanted to try his best to calm his mind, but the white finger bones still exposed his mind: "Since it can be fabricated, it can also be framed."
The postman was shocked: "What did you say!"
Hang Xiutu said in a deep voice, "They put the red scarves and gloves of the two ladies in our room, probably trying to catch us all..."
"How can you be so despicable!" The postman jumped up, "Let's hurry to—"
"It's too late." Hang Xiutu interrupted him, "They have already invited the housekeeper over, and they are now telling a story they made up."
"I listened to the beginning," Hang Xiutu sighed softly, "It's perfect, the time is very accurate, it is said that I saw red at 11:50 last night..."
"What did you say!" The postman was stunned for a moment, and the irritability on his face slowly turned into unbelievable surprise. He was overjoyed, "No, no, no! Father! They lost!"
The postman experienced great sorrow and great joy repeatedly in a day. It may be that he suddenly saw the dawn of victory, and he was so excited: "Last night, the housekeeper put out the candles in the living room 13 minutes earlier than usual. ghost-"
"Oh?" In an instant, all the expressions on Hang Xiutu's face disappeared, and the vivid "annoyance", "fear", "exhaustion" and "surprise" just now disappeared without a trace.
He looked at the postman, as if the "revolutionary friendship of sharing weal and woe" never existed on this day: "You have repeatedly emphasized to us that you didn't go out after 10 o'clock last night. How do you know when the housekeeper turns off the lights? You know it in such detail ,Um?"
The barrage was stunned by the sudden second reversal, and the barrage was extremely spectacular:
[Fuck]
[Fuck]
[Fuck]
……
As if a thunderbolt fell on his head, the postman was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Hang Xiutu at a loss, his expression was completely frozen, and he looked like a fool.
"Come in." Hang Xiutu clapped his hands, and people outside the door rushed in - Gu Yuan, Xun Xu and the most important thing: the butler Hang Yang.
"You, you, you..." The postman pointed to the people in front of him, unable to utter a word.
"That's it," Gu Yuan smiled and walked in front of the postman, "Yesterday from 3:4 to [-]:[-] p.m., it wasn't Mr. Writer and I who gathered in the living room, but me, the writer, and the priest."
"But, relying on this little clue alone is not enough to convict you," Gu Yuan waved his hand regretfully, "You know how to kill people, and your techniques are quite sophisticated, and you can kill them with one knife. In fact, the simpler and more direct the technique, the more difficult it is. check."
"It would be great if those two girls had your skills and mentality," Gu Yuan said "tsk", a little regretful, "It's a pity that they are so smart."
The postman seemed to have been punched in the face, and he looked at the people in front of him in disbelief: "So, since you lied that there were only two people in the living room, you are lying to me!"
"No, no, no," Gu Yuan walked two steps with a smile, "Earlier, since the first time I quarreled with Mr. Priest."
"How is it possible!" the postman shouted, "impossible, impossible! This is impossible! How did you find out!"
Gu Yuan slowly showed an unpredictable smile: "We have our own reasons for locking you, so I don't need to bother you."
The postman stared at him like he was watching a ghost.
Gu Yuan put his hands behind his back and took a few steps slowly: "Our goal is to 'force' the priest into your camp, to make you trust him and rely on him completely new, to make you believe that you are closely united interests as a whole..."
"So don't be sorry," Gu Yuan squatted in front of the postman, "As long as we deliberately guide you, even if you don't reveal your secrets this time, you will next time."
"You, you!" The postman was trembling violently. He turned to Hang Xiutu, his eyes were so angry that he almost spit fire, "I trust you so much!"
Hang Xiutu nodded lightly, everyone could see how carefree his answer was: "Thank you."
Hang Yang, who had been watching everything silently from behind, walked up to the crowd, looked down at the postman who was slumped on the ground, and lifted up the person in front of him who was half a head taller than him with involuntary force: "Mr. Postman, please. "
The postman's lips were trembling, and his eyes were like poisoned knives, gouging out everyone: "You guys! Dirty, dirty! Dogs of nobles!"
"Oh~" Gu Yuan took a long shot at the end of the tune, "It turns out that the famous 'Noble Hunter' is also among us. I'm sorry, it's really appropriate for you to use the postman as a disguise! You can come and go as you should. The residence of a nobleman will not be remembered, after all, he is just an inconspicuous inferior person..."
"Get out!" The postman gave him a vicious look, and continued to curse.
Hang Yang, however, was too lazy to watch his dying performance, stared at him blankly, and repeated in a non-fluctuating tone: "Sir, please."
Who knew, the moment his voice fell, the postman suddenly roared "I hate betrayal the most", and then stretched out his hand like crazy and rushed towards Hang Xiutu——
"Pfft!"
When everyone came to their senses again, the postman was clutching the artery in his neck, and a large amount of bright red hot blood spurted out from it, staining the sheets and the floor scarlet.
The postman staggered for two steps with his eyes wide open, then fell to the floor with a "boom" and was silent again.
The remaining three looked at Hang Yang in shock, only to see him walking slowly towards the big bed, twisting up a piece of white cloth that hadn't been stained with blood, and wiping the knife in his hand without haste - just like the postman who killed people last night The very similar.
"Sorry, the execution method is a bit harsh." He spoke casually, then turned to look at the others, and smiled slightly, "Everyone, please go back, I wish you good night."
The barrage said that today I experienced what is called a heart roller coaster. The whole person was hung and crazily thrown, and the heartbeat did not exceed 90 during the whole process.
[Intense "billion points"? ? ? ]
[What just happened? ? ? ]
[Mist Grass! ]
[My little heart ah ah ah]
[Yang Yang is handsome! ! ! ]
[I, can I knock a little? ]
……
Three words slowly popped up on the gradually darkening screen—the third night.
The third night of "The Staircase" is approaching, the huge castle is terribly quiet, and the expressionless beautiful butler has disposed of four corpses and one living person on the third-floor rooftop. Now, only For the three residents, the depression of death is getting heavier.
At night, Xun Xu suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside. He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked softly, "Who?"
"Me." Gu Yuan's voice came from outside.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, in this murderous place, Xun Xu opened the door without hesitation, dragged the person in first, then probed out to look left and right, and carefully closed the door after making sure there was no one there.
"You're crazy!" Xun Xu lowered his voice as much as possible, "I live next door to the priest!"
"I know." Gu Yuan stared into his eyes without fear.
He walked to the side of the bed and leaned down: "Is it still necessary to pretend to be a fool?"
Gu Yuan blinked: "Duke N is next door, do you want to kill him? Let's go together."
The candles flickered in the not-so-big room, reflecting Hang Xiutu's handsome face and the flipping book in his hand.
It is very quiet here, so quiet that you can hear the rustling of fingers rubbing the pages of the book, and the slight sound of burning candles.
Suddenly, Hang Xiutu turned over a page lightly, and he said without looking back: "You shouldn't be here."
Only then did the camera slowly pull up and cast it on Hang Yang in the corner.
Hang Yang didn't answer right away. He walked to Hang Xiutu first, then slowly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, master. My killing today was too reckless, which may cause your identity to be exposed in advance..."
"It's not your fault," Hang Xiutu said slowly, "It's not 'in advance' either. If they can't figure it out at this point, they are hopelessly stupid."
"In this case," Hang Yang's tone became urgent. This is the first time "Stairway" has been aired since its inception. "Please allow me to kill them!"
"No." Hang Xiutu interrupted him, "Go back to your room."
Hang Yang didn't answer, but knelt on one knee on the ground in silence.
After a few seconds of pause, Hang Xiutu sighed softly, turned his gaze to Hang Yang, and calmed down silently.
He patted Hang Yang's head: "well, stay if you stay. Don't kneel down, go to bed."
Hang Yang stood up, and finally there was light in his eyes, like a painted dragon's eyes, and his whole body was like a broken rhinestone, so beautiful that it couldn't be more beautiful.
He looked at Hang Xiutu with a solemn voice, as if swearing his life: "I will protect you, for sure."
Barrage:
[Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah]
[Sipi vs Xipi!Sippy duel I can! ]
There are also large quantities of:
[simple is finally here!Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]
[I knew these two people must have an affair! ]
[Ah ah ah, the look in his eyes is not clean! ! !Both of you are unclean! ! ! ]
and neatly:
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
[Simple is hanging! ! ! ]
……
The author has something to say:
Let me tell you how Gu Yuan and Xun Xu locked the postman. It's really, really simple. They just bully the postman. 250 can't understand the situation:
1. In the end, it can be seen that Gu Yuan and Xun Xu have already confessed
2. It is not difficult to guess that Erhang is the Duke. He is a member of the stage and also a theater watcher. He will not tear down his own stage
