Chapter 84 The investigation task of the first day

"I called the police just now, and the police are coming soon," the woman said.

"Oh, He Xiu, it's unlucky that this person died in front of your bar, and it doesn't affect your business." A resident said, but there was a subtle hypocrisy in his tone.

"It doesn't matter, there is no business here anyway." The woman named He Xiu smiled slightly.

Ren Ran found that although He Xiu said that the bar had no business, the lights were still on at night and it was open as usual.

In a few minutes, the police really came.

Ren Ran stared dumbfounded at these uniformed policemen approaching, and thought that this dungeon was too realistic, and it was the first time that a policeman appeared in the dungeon.

The police came over and pulled the cordon, and began to question nearby residents for clues.

A resident said that he was watching a TV series at night, and was opening the window to let in the wind, when he saw a person running away in a hurry, as if there was a person lying on the ground, so he went downstairs to have a look, who would have known that a person had been cut in half body.

When the police asked who had seen the murderer, several residents said that they could only see a blurry figure from such a distance, and they couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. They also expressed the hope that more construction could be done in this old city. , such as additional topics such as street lights and ground.

"Hey, He Xiu, this person died in front of your bar. You are still open for business. You should have seen such a big movement better than us." said the resident just now.

He Xiu thought for a while, and then said: "I have been behind the bar. When I heard the voice, that person had already run to the corner. It was a slender figure from the back. I don't know anything else."

The police made a note, "So it's a woman?"

He Xiu just smiled: "The back is quite slender."

The police questioned the residents one by one for a while, and told them that they might be asked to assist in the investigation at any time. If you suddenly think of something, please remember to contact the police in time.

Then began to clean up the scene, and the residents went home one after another.

Xie Wenyi was still carefully observing the surrounding situation. When he raised his head, he saw a window on the third floor above the bar was open. Behind the curtain was a figure. The figure seemed to have noticed Xie Wenyi's lingering gaze. He reached out to close the window, and put The curtains were also drawn.

He Xiu has been standing on the steps watching the police clean up the scene.

Xie Wenyi stepped forward and asked, "Boss He."

He Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just call me Aunt Xiu, what's the matter?"

Xie Wenyi said, "Who lives upstairs here?"

He Xiu said: "He is a painter named Xia Sheng. You look a little unfamiliar, did you move here recently?"

Xie Wenyi said: "Yes, I didn't expect there to be a bar in the old town. What time does it open every day?"

He Xiu smiled and pointed in: "Every day at twelve o'clock at noon, you can do it now, if you want, please come in."

Xie Wenyi said: "No need, come back tomorrow, good night."

The group of them walked slowly towards the residence. Although everyone was mentally prepared that something would happen tonight, they always felt inexplicably nervous when they saw the scene.

A male player said: "The murderer must be someone from the old city, but although there are few people in this city, it is really difficult to investigate. It seems that this dungeon is for us to find the murderer. It is rare to be Conan again. "

A female player said: "It's easy to just find the murderer. The key is whether we will be attacked. I just saw the woman's body and I was terrified."

The male player said again: "What are you afraid of? We live in the same building. If a murderer really came to the door, we should not be alarmed, and it will be difficult for him to escape. I think this dungeon is quite simple. As long as you don't go out at night and shout loudly if you have something to do, you will definitely survive, I said if you are really scared, you might as well live in my room."

As soon as this joke was exaggerated by the male player's wretched tone, it changed in an instant. The female player didn't want to talk back at this time, and no one spoke anymore.

When they arrived at the residence and were about to go upstairs, a boy who looked rather small said: "I think we have to cooperate this time, everyone should find clues and analyze together. Let's work together to catch him."

This sounds right, and there are other players who obviously have the same idea, just waiting for others to speak, and echoed in twos and threes: "Yeah, everyone is looking for clues together, it's much faster than going alone. Didn’t Xiu say that the back is a slender woman, how about we investigate all the women in the old town tomorrow?”

Ren Ran and the others are quite familiar, and it seems that they have formed a tacit relationship inadvertently, and they want to work together.

Ren Ran then said, "Okay, everyone, get a good night's sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow when we wake up."

They went back to their rooms, and the text message of "stinky and shameless" has arrived.

[Dear player friends, the exciting moment will be at midnight, the No. 720 No. 20 arrest warrant, the number of players involved is 20, and the number of survivors is currently [-], come on, let your outstanding little minds completely conquer it , In fact, you dear game announcers have been secretly thinking whether your brains are delicious?It seems to be good for making bento, Kacha. 】

Nothing important, Ren Ran turned off his phone, lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, if it was a woman with a slender back, it would be feasible to conduct a key investigation in the old town, but is it really that simple?

This sleep was fairly sound, and when he woke up, it was just dawn, Ren Ran got up to wash up, and saw that Aunt Xu was already cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

Aunt Xu was obviously very happy to see him, she waved the spatula and said, "I'm frying eggs for you, the rent is not expensive, and breakfast is included, and you can't live in other places in the provincial capital. I said that the children nowadays are really hardworking. Everyone got up early in the morning, so I don’t need to call one by one.”

Ren Ran walked to the room where we gathered yesterday, sure enough, the other players got up, and a few female players talked softly with big panda eyes.

"Hey, I didn't sleep well."

"Me too, the door locks are all broken, how dare you sleep."

"Why don't you come over tonight for a squeeze?"

"Is it okay? It doesn't feel right. The bed is too small, and the sheets are not very clean."

Just as Aunt Xu brought breakfast, Xie Wenyi and the others came in. Gu Congsu obviously slept well, was full of energy, and even stretched himself.Wang Jinglun followed behind and Xu Qin didn't know what they were talking about.

They ate breakfast and assembled downstairs.

Yesterday, the young boy who claimed to want everyone to join hands to investigate the case said: "My name is Hao Xue. I am a high school student. I usually like to read novels about detectives. To be honest, I am quite excited."

Everyone has an expression on your face that you are happy.

Hao Xue was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Let's share it equally?"

Everyone agreed, Xie Wenyi, Ren Ran, Li Qing, Zhou Lang and Zhou Tao walked to the east. Before leaving, he made a face to Gu Congsu, Gu Congsu understood, and everyone dispersed.

A small corner of the sun is exposed, and the weather is not cold. The weather in the dungeon is different from the real one, and it seems that it always maintains a non-extreme weather pattern.

The sunshine is very comfortable, but it shines on this old city in an innumerable strange way, as if it is out of place.

Some early-rising residents wore old and yellowed pajamas, carried breakfast, and shuttled sleepily through the alleys. When they saw these young people, they would pay more attention to them.

Li Qing said: "Are we knocking on doors from house to house? I always feel that this behavior is stupid."

None of them thought that the murderer could be found out in this way, but it seemed to be the only way to try.

Xie Wenyi added: "The murderer is from the old city, and he can escape at the fastest speed. He is very familiar with the terrain, but these alleys lead in all directions. We need to sort out the route and go to the bar to find He Xiu at noon."

The old houses in these alleys are actually very easy to know whether there are people living there. The houses with people usually have the windows open to dry clothes, and the houses that are unoccupied are lifeless and dusty.

There are only a dozen or so households living in the east, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly. Not a single woman with a slender figure was found.

They ate something casually at eleven o'clock and went to the scene of yesterday's crime.

The scene has been cleaned up, leaving no trace of blood or anything, as if nothing happened.

He Xiu's bar has already opened for business, with one side door open and no signboard. The windows are wiped clean, but it can be seen that there are no customers inside.

When they entered the bar, they heard a soft female voice saying: "Welcome, it's you guys, please sit down."

They sat around the round table. The decoration of the tables and chairs in the store was relatively old, but it could be seen that the owner was very careful and cleaned it very well.

"What do you want to drink?" He Xiu asked.

Even in reality, no one would not order, let alone an NPC.

"Is there snow beer?" Ren Ran asked.

Zhou Lang and Zhou Tao whispered, "Underage can't drink alcohol, it's not that we don't want to order, is there water?"

"There is juice." He Xiu said with a smile.

In the end, the two asked for two bottles of sky-high orange juice.

He Xiu served them wine, and seemed to know that they had something to ask, so she pulled a chair and sat down, motioning for them to ask if they wanted to.

"We want to ask about the specific circumstances of yesterday's murder case, such as what else did you hear and see." Ren Ran asked.

"No, I just sat there knitting last night." He Xiu pointed to the far right corner, a small corner next to the wall, and couldn't see out of the window. When I was tired and wanted to get a glass of water, I walked to the counter There, there seemed to be a scream, and when I walked out of the gate, I saw the woman had fallen on the ground, and there was a slender figure at the corner, and the residents in the opposite building came out after a while, and then I went in and called the police. "

Ren Ran glanced at the door that was always open, and asked, "When you are open, is the door always open?"

"Yes." He Xiu said.

"The sound insulation here is not good. It's impossible for you not to notice the situation outside. I mean, that woman was wearing such high heels, walking in the dead of night, and the sound was not soft. If she was killed again, the movement should be not small. You really didn't notice it at the time." What did you hear? Even if it's unreasonable." Ren Ran continued to ask.

"Really not. I was very focused when I was doing something. If I hadn't got up and went to the counter to drink water, I really didn't notice." He Xiu smiled and asked, "Do you need some refreshments?"

"No need, were you alone yesterday?" Ren Ran asked.

He Xiu paused, and then showed a weird smile: "Of course not. Although my business is light, I still have some customers."

"Aunt Xiu, what is that room for?" Ren Ran found a door at the junction between the counter and the corridor.

"I live here." He Xiu got up and left after speaking.

They couldn't ask any more questions, looked at each other, and sat for a while.

Before leaving, Xie Wenyi suddenly asked: "The residents upstairs can't go up from your bar, right?"

"Yes, this building has a back door, these buildings are designed like this, welcome to come again." He Xiu said.

They left the bar, Xie Wenyi walked into the side alley.

"Are you concerned about that person in the window yesterday?" Ren Ran asked.

"Well, I have an idea. If the murderer is a resident of the old city, although there will not be many people here, the target is too wide. If we can't get in touch, this is not a dead end. So the murderer It should be someone we can easily get in touch with, like the old Guo couple who had dinner yesterday and NPCs like He Xiu just now."

On the side of the building is indeed a side door, which can lead to the upper floors. If you look inside, it is pitch black even in broad daylight.

Zhou Lang said: "My brother and I are here to watch out for you, if anything happens, just shout."

"it is good."

There are only three floors in this building. They first went to the third floor, which was full of dust and cobwebs. No one lived there. There was only one family on the second floor, which was the one who was watching them from behind the curtain yesterday.

He Xiu said yesterday that he is a painter.

They knocked on the door, and in front of them stood a pale, thin young man.

"Are you Xia Sheng?" Xie Wenyi asked.

"It's me, what's the matter with you?"

"We want to buy paintings, can we go in and have a look?"

Ren Ran was really convinced, he didn't dare to think how much this "work of art" would be worth here.

"My paintings are not for sale." Xia Sheng said.

Routine failed.

Xie Wenyi was very calm, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It's like this, I want to have a sketch with my boyfriend, but I can't find a suitable artist. Aunt Xiu said that your paintings are very emotional, and the price is easy to say .”

Big guys are big guys.

But why is this boyfriend's meme coming again?

Li Qing laughed from behind, tried his best to put on a serious expression, and said: "They really have that kind of relationship, you know, they are afraid of being talked about, and they don't want to go to places that are too public to find someone to paint."

Li Qing, just wait for me!
