The game, which was supposed to be played by eleven people, was one more person, and there were only eleven chairs in the hall, and it is likely that even the people behind the scenes did not expect this to happen.
I stood where I was, glanced at the round table, and saw Du Pre on the chair numbered 10.
At this moment, he and I had a tacit understanding of missing the line of sight and pretending not to know each other.
"Newcomer, you're late, there's no place for you here."
The man sitting in the sixth seat bit the tip of his tongue, he is one meter five tall, thin and weak, the shoulder blades and collarbone are very prominent, and what is even more worrying is that he is holding a sharp blade in his hand, constantly cutting his nails: "Everyone has seen the rules of the game, each of us is a competitor, and in the end, only five people can get the antidote, this extra person, I propose to kill him directly!"
” A skinny monkey-like man, speaking viciously, blades flicking at his fingertips, as if he had a special desire to kill.
After he finished proposing, many of the eleven people in the audience were a little moved, and their eyes became cold when they saw me.
Before the game started, I encountered a crisis, and when my eyes rolled, I didn't panic: "Want to kill me?
I can seriously injure at least two or three of you if I resist desperately, and in this case, you should know what it means to be seriously injured, and if you can kill me to reduce the pressure of competition, you can also kill the seriously injured and increase your probability of winning.
In the face of life and death, everyone is selfish, and I think you should know it very well in your hearts. ” After saying this, some of them recovered, and a few just temporarily hid their killing intentions.
Killing people is not a high-tech thing for these people in the house at this time, and each of them can cause death without using violence.
I didn't get close to those people, but stood a few meters away and looked at them: "The ugly-looking, short and frustrated Mr.
Six also said just now, everyone is a competitor, but in addition to the five people with the highest votes at the end of the game to get the antidote, there is another kind of happy ending, that is, to find out the killer who eats the red candy!"
Every two hours, there is a chance to testify collectively, and as long as we find the killer, everyone can get the antidote!
” I paused for a moment and looked at man No. six lightly: "The rules are written very clearly, but No. 6 deliberately ignored them just now and wanted to kill me, is it possible to indirectly prove that he is the killer?"
Testify to him, and all of us will survive?
” My gaze was like a sharp knife stabbing straight at the thin man No. 6, his face was gloomy, and with a wave of his hand, he pierced the blade on the round table, and the blade pierced into the wooden table a few centimeters deep, and it could be seen that his wrist was extremely powerful: "Are you looking for death?"
” Hearing his threat, I shrugged: "Did you kill me?"
” The atmosphere was tense, and it took more than ten seconds for someone to stand up and play the round, it was the man sitting on the third chair: "There is no need for everyone to make the relationship between each other so tense, we are not exactly competitors, we have been kidnapped here, it can also be said that we are friends who share weal and woe, we should cooperate and work together to find the twelfth person mixed in with us, his identity is likely to be the organizer, as long as you find him, you don't have to care about the rules of the game." ” The man who spoke was 1.8 meters tall and his body was unusually thin, so he looked extraordinarily long; The slender hooked nose makes his appearance appear alert and decisive; The jaw is square and protruding, giving a good first impression, and he seems to be a trustworthy guy: "Before the arrival of the twelfth, I had already searched where we were, and I was sure that we were underground, and under some prison. ” "The furnishings in the cell were similar to those in the prison, and what caught my attention was the old wooden barrel, which had been cleaned, but still had a faint smell.
There were no bathrooms in this place, and the smell of the barrel was used to hold filth, and the residual smell told me that we weren't the first people to be imprisoned here. ” Man No. 3 observed a lot of details, and everyone listened: "The barrel is not cleaned, and there is a faint stench left, but there is not a trace of blood in the entire underground, including the hall and the cell, and there is no trace of blood or human stumps, which is very unreasonable."
Such a clean venue doesn't look like a place where a murder game has been held, and I suspect that the so-called confessional game is just a police ploy to extract confessions. ” He smiled mysteriously: "Everyone here is a master of crime, some people have created perfect alibi evidence, some people have created the illusion of murder in a closed room, the techniques are superb, even the police can't crack it, even if they know who the murderer is, but because of insufficient evidence, they can't be arrested, so they take this method to conduct a special interrogation, and want us to take the initiative to confess!"
” Listening to his words, a few people had color in their eyes, but many more were still expressionless, not knowing what they were pondering.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a consistent trick of the police, apart from public offices, I can't think of any other forces or individuals who have the ability and leisure to kidnap us here at the same time!"
The third man has a wisdom bead in his hand, and he has seen through everything.
"Looking at the head of your analysis, I'm a little curious about your identity in real life?"
The man in the pajamas sitting in the number one position glanced at number three.
"I have many identities, I was the first Chinese-American sheriff in Connecticut, a criminal forensic expert, a special forensic doctor at the University of New Haven, a professional detective, etc., and I have been behind many famous cases in China."
"You're a professional detective?"
I was surprised, I didn't expect to meet my peers here, but looking at the introduction of the other party, it seems that he is much more professional than me.
"Surprised?
But speaking of which, I prefer crime to solving crimes.
If a criminal is compared to a highly creative artist, then the detective is at best a critic of art.
The third man changed his voice and looked at me with interest: "What about you?"
What is your profession?
” Spreading my hands, I shook my head: "Compared to a 'successful' person like you, I am just a loser, I was expelled from the police academy for fighting, and I am still idle in society and unemployed. ” "Promising young man, if we can leave alive this time, you can follow me."
Man No. 3 grinned and stood up from his seat facing everyone: "The space we are in is in a closed state, there are no doors and windows, I have found a total of thirteen vents, and these vents are only fifteen centimeters in diameter, no one can escape from them.
So the question is, since there are no doors and windows, how do we get in?
” There was excitement in his eyes: "Obviously, the door is in the space we are, but it is hidden. ” "You mean we can leave as soon as we find the door?
Don't care about the rules of the game?
The man in the No. 1 pajamas asked with some uncertainty: "The other party took so much effort to get us in, it shouldn't have revealed such an obvious flaw." ” Everyone else also retorted, but the third man shook his head: "I have found the door, you can come or not at will." ” After he finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the west wall of the hall, where there was an old cupboard: "The place where we were imprisoned had no food and water, and only gave us one night's time, so what is the purpose of this cupboard in the hall?"
” "It's bulky, it takes up space, and I can't think of anything else about it."
Man number three beckoned to me and man in pajamas, motioning for us to cooperate with him in pushing the cupboard open.
"Crunch!"
The cabinet was pushed aside, and all ten people who had been sitting around the round table stood up, their eyes fixed on the back of the cabinet.
"That's the answer I gave you!"

Detective No. 3 pointed to the big iron door blocked by the cabinet, and his smile was faintly disdainful: "Can a mere safety door trap me?"
” He rummaged through his pocket and found a rectangular piece of alloy and stuffed it into the lock hole: "It is not an exaggeration to call this alloy key a master key, there are more than 3,000 fine alloy particles on the surface, and the ductility and plasticity are excellent, and all conventional door locks can be opened." ” As soon as the words fell, the sound of a circlip came from the lock, and the third male detective turned his head to look at everyone: "It's that simple." ” He didn't even pull out the key, grabbed the lock with one hand, and just opened the door half a finger width, something suddenly came in from outside the door.
