Card Room - 204. Mime private 286

【Chapter 286, Music Labyrinth 6】

Seeing Wells’ body lying on the sofa, Xiao Lou immediately put on his gloves and leaned forward for an autopsy, while other teammates consciously collected clues everywhere in the room.

Wells’s eyes were wide open, and his tongue was half sticking out, which was a typical sign of hanged death. There are obvious strangulation marks on his neck. The marks show the characteristics of “the deepest center and gradually becoming shallower towards the sides”. The strangulation marks are about three fingers wide.

In addition, no other obvious injuries were found on the body.

Xiao Lou quickly got the result of the autopsy: “The cause of death was mechanical suffocation. His shirt showed signs of being pulled by violence. Two buttons broke off. The tool used by the murderer was probably his tie.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the man’s wrinkled shirt, and analyzed: “He should have drunk a lot of alcohol at the Christmas Eve party. After sending the guests away, he fell asleep on the sofa. Unexpectedly, the murderer would return. Back, tore off his tie and strangled him altogether.”

This is a reasonable guess.

The carpet next to the sofa is neat, and some red wine is spilled on the nearby floor tiles. They are all flaky and there is no trace of being dragged in the strip. The corpse has not been moved, and there is no need for the murderer to strangle Wells before moving him. Back on the sofa.

Wells did not go back to the bedroom to sleep, and fell asleep directly on the sofa, most probably because he was drunk.

Therefore, he did not know that his wife had been killed in the piano room on the second floor.

Xiao Lou looked back at his teammates, and said, “Did you find anything?”

Ye Qi went to the trash can in the restaurant and said, “The trash can is full of snack bags and various fruit peels, nothing special.”

Shao Qingge turned around in the kitchen and said: “There are a lot of drinks in the refrigerator, as well as fresh vegetables and meat that have not been used up. It seems that on Christmas Eve, this couple is cooking and entertaining guests at home. .”

Lao Mo walked to the side of the restaurant and found that there was a large garden outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. He tried to push the door, but the glass door could not be opened, it seemed to be fixed. Old Mo turned his head and said: “This glass door of the restaurant should be unlocked by a mechanism. The outside garden is probably the last way for us to escape the secret room.”

Qu Wanyue and Long Sen searched all the cabinets in the living room and found two photo albums in the TV cabinet.

Long Sen took the album to Yu Hanjiang and said, “Team Yu, there may be information about the main characters in the secret room.”

Yu Hanjiang immediately took it and took a look at it with Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou’s photo album is a collection of personal photos of the heroes and heroines. They are all solo photos of the two before they went to college, including photos of their birthdays in their childhood, as well as important events in elementary and middle school.

It can be seen from the photos that the heroine Shirley has been learning piano since she was very young. There are many photos of her holding a trophy after winning various piano competitions in the album.

The male protagonist Wells’s hobby is also a musical instrument, learning the violin, and often participated in various competitions when he was young.

Although the two did not have much intersection when they were young, the boys wear suits and the girls wear small skirts. The photos look good when they are put together.

There are a lot of blanks in the second half of the album. I don’t know if there are no photos at all, or some of the photos have been removed?

The second album that Yu Hanjiang flipped through recorded their college days.

The two are not in the same university. Wells studied at the School of Architecture of the Comprehensive University, and Shirley was a student at the School of Music, as evidenced by the pictures of the two at the school gate.

Their first group photo, the background is the big stage. The two of them seemed to be about 20 years old at the time. Shirley was wearing a beautiful performance gown, Wells was wearing a handsome black tuxedo. The handsome men and beautiful women stood in front of the piano and took photos together. Not intimate, it should have just been acquainted.

After that, there were more and more group photos, and gradually began to hold hands and hug.

Yu Hanjiang quickly turned over the group photo of the two, looking for other people in the album. Soon, he confirmed the identities of several other people-the five people who took the most photos with the host and the host were the five people who were invited to the Christmas Eve Party. The names of the five people were written on the back of the photo.

Dr. Simon, a university alumnus of the hero Wells, graduated from medical school. In the photo, Simon is standing in front of the laboratory building, wearing a white coat and posing for a photo with the male protagonist. This person is half a head taller than Wells, has a handsome appearance, wears a pair of silver-framed glasses, and looks gentle.

Jack is also a buddy of the male protagonist Wells. The two are obviously known by the college basketball club. There is a photo of them wearing a jersey and holding a basketball in the album. Jack’s height is almost the same as Wells.

Susan is a classmate of the male protagonist. In the group photo, the two together won the golden “design competition trophy”. It seems that they have participated in some competitions together and won prizes. They are partners at work.

Masha and Karen are both girlfriends of the heroine Shirley. The three girls make weird moves, wearing clothes of the same color and carrying bags of the same style. There are several pictures of these girlfriends. It seems that the three of them are close to each other and have great affection.

Yu Hanjiang sorted out these key photos and said: “From the perspective of the relationship between the characters, two of the five people who participated in the party are friends of the host, Wells. Three girls, two of them are girlfriends of the hostess. , One is a college classmate of the male host, and perhaps a career partner.”

Combining the graduation photo of five people found in the study, Xiao Lou said: “They are students in the same class and graduated in the same year. The seven people dressed in bachelor uniforms and took a photo together. It shows that everyone knows each other and the relationship is good.”

The photo can only determine the identity of each person, who is secretly involved in emotional entanglements with the male or female protagonist, it is impossible to tell. Unlike the photos of Hearts 2, the best man stares directly at the bride, who is so directional.

Yu Hanjiang said: “Five people are all possible murderers, let’s look at the graffiti of the little girl.”

Lucia drew a picture in his graffiti. On the day of the move, a man and a woman came to help besides his parents.

The children’s graffiti only uses colored pens to draw the outline of the characters, and the facial features are directly represented by lines. It is impossible to tell who is who, but the body shape is very obvious.

For example, the height difference of the parents in her painting is the same as in reality, and the father is half a head taller than the mother.

Xiao Lou took out the graffiti and took a closer look, and said: “The man in Lucia’s graffiti is half a head taller than her father. From this point, you can exclude Jack first.”

Jack is good at playing basketball, and he is exactly the same height as Wells in the group photo wearing sneakers.

Since the little girl drew the height difference of her parents, she shouldn’t deliberately draw the uncle half a head taller than her father. According to the reasoning, the murderer might have been to the villa on the day of the move to find out the layout of the villa so that he could plan the murder in advance. Jack would be less susceptible if he hadn’t been to the villa.

Then, the remaining man, Dr. Simon, naturally became more suspicious.

He is exactly half a head taller than Wells, and, as a doctor, it is also more convenient for him to change the little girl’s cold medicine. If the murderer was him, he would stab Shirley to death, strangle Wells to death, go to the little girl’s room to change the cold medicine, and it would be very easy to kill three people in a row.

Xiao Lou looked at the woman in the graffiti, with a slender figure and big curly hair.

The little girl deliberately used a golden paintbrush to draw a wavy line behind the woman’s head to show her hair.

Susan, Wells’s female classmate, has short, straight hair in the photo.

Shirley’s two best friends, one with long straight hair and the other with big curly hair-the one with curly hair is called Karen.

As long as the little girl is not a doodle, you can be sure that the people who came to help on the day of the move are Dr. Simon and Ms. Karen.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and said at the same time: “Will the murderer choose one of the two?”

Yu Hanjiang paused, and frowned slightly and said, “According to the current clues, the most reasonable murderer is Dr. Simon. The jewelry collected by the hostess means that she has an unforgettable person in her heart. The famous book “The Lover” found in the study, piano room The broadcast of “The Wedding in a Dream” is very direct.”

Xiao Lou agreed: “The male lead does not have any clues that he has white moonlight in his heart, or that there are other women admiring him. The key should be Shirley. Her precious necklace is too suspicious, jewelry. In the box there is also words like’love you for life’.”

So, is the murderer Dr. Simon?

The teammates looked at each other and felt that the answer would not be so simple based on the bad personality of the gatekeeper.

The door of the restaurant has not been opened yet, Xiao Lou glanced at the 20-minute countdown, and said: “There is still time, don’t rush to a conclusion, everyone will look for any mechanism or other clues in the room.”

The teammates went to find them separately.

After 3 minutes, Liu Qiao suddenly said, “There is another secret door here.”

She was in charge of inspecting the living room just now, but she didn’t find any useful clues. She listened to Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang starting to analyze the case. While listening, she knocked on the wall with her hands, knocking, and suddenly there was a “dongdong” in her ear. Empty sound-there is a door here.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang stepped forward immediately.

The TV background wall in the living room has a large area. The position where Liu Qiao knocked is just on the side of the TV wall. The echo of the wooden door is obviously different from that of the marble wall. If you look closely, you can find a small keyhole.

The nail-sized keyhole is also integrated with the painting on the background wall. If you look bad, you won’t be able to see it clearly.

Xiao Lou’s gaze swept across the spacious rooms-the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Everyone had checked all the drawers and found no keys. In the drawers in the other rooms, all the clues that should be collected were brought with them.

Where is the key?

Xiao Lou turned and looked at the center of the living room.

The teammates followed Xiao Lou’s gaze and locked the two-meter-high Christmas tree in the middle of the room.

Xiao Lou said: “The key should be in the Christmas stocking, everyone find it as soon as possible.”

Many small red socks were hung on the Christmas tree. At first, everyone thought these were just decorations. Now it seems that there is a key to another secret door in the socks.

When the teammates heard this, they acted immediately.

There were a lot of chocolate candies in the bottom socks. Ye Qi couldn’t reach the socks hanging on the top. He looked at the tall Mr. Shao next to him, asking for help.

Shao Qingge stretched out his long arm, easily took off the top socks, and opened it to see-it really was a key.

Xiao Lou took the key and opened the secret door.

This is a storage room. There are five beautifully packaged gift boxes in different colors on the floor. There are many Christmas elements on the wrapping paper, such as snowflakes, Santa Claus, red socks and so on.

Obviously, this is a Christmas gift from the five people invited to the party on Christmas Eve.

Yu Hanjiang said: “The final clue about the murderer should be here.”

There are still 10 minutes left in the countdown. If no murderer can be found, this time-limited labyrinth cannot be completed at all.

They came all the way, opening the mechanism and cracking the code, fast enough, and almost no time was wasted. The gatekeeper should not set the difficulty that cannot be completed.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and said at the same time, “Split it apart.”

The five gift boxes were distributed to the hands of five people, and everyone quickly tore off the exquisite wrapping paper.

However, at the moment when the wrapping paper was torn apart, a scene that shocked everyone appeared——

There are five code locks hanging on the five boxes!

Everyone: “…”

Can you drag the square film gatekeeper out for a fight?
