As mentioned earlier, the hotel was built on the mountain, and the original gem mine was not far from the hotel, or the hotel was located at the place where the waste was stacked in the mine, with a straight-line distance of no more than one kilometer.
As the hotel is already the most marginal area of the town, it is deserted behind the hotel. There is only a dirt road leading to the mine and there is no surveillance camera.
In other words, the murderer is very likely to hide the murder weapon in the mine after killing people, and deal with it after the limelight.
It has to be said that the murderer has a green and naive meaning from the killing technique to the location where the murder weapon is hidden. For example, he proves that he is just by borrowing the legend of the town, which is the reason the murderer seeks to reduce his guilt of crime.
——This is a bit of a category of criminal psychology.
The process of looking for the murder weapon is neither complex nor dangerous. An Yizhi pointed out that they found the plastic bag containing the murder weapon in a dilapidated Pavilion originally belonging to the gatekeeper not far from the mine. As Ann Yizhi guessed, there is a bowling ball stained with blood. Looking at the old and new degree of bowling, I'm afraid it's a new product just bought recently.
In addition, there is a roll of fishing line and a "line board" tool used to pull up the bowling ball. Although it is unlikely that fingerprints remain, it is still very important evidence.
Don't underestimate the investigation ability of the police. They can find the seller from a fruit knife used for murder and find a buyer from the seller.
Yes, that's too much.
The things in the bag, whether bowling ball or fishing line, are new. Next, just check who has recently bought bowling ball and fishing line to lock the murderer.
Of course, such abnormal tracking ability is still in the interview of the police. In fact, this is the standard operation for most police to solve cases. A clue like that in movies and TV dramas is just artistic processing, and it is not so easy to solve cases.
Jimmy was in a good mood. It was obvious that the murderer had eyebrows, which made him very happy. When he returned, the smile on his face looked like erha.
An Yizhi felt that it was a bit frustrating to catch the murderer and not come to the reasoning show, but in addition to believing in the investigation ability of the police, there was really no clue left by the murderer.
However, he also knows that although this entrustment is nearing the end, it is not over, because if the rest of the work is just a simple and boring investigation, he should have been sitting in the swivel chair of "Anyi Zhi detective firm". In this copy, the system will skip meaningless tedious stories. Conversely, if he does not do so, it means that something will happen.
And Shuidao Mengzi
She tugged Ann's sleeve and said:
"I'm hungry."
“……”
This girl is really not an ordinary person. Although everyone didn't have time to eat because of the discovery of the body in the morning, it's incredible that she still has an appetite.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Back at the hotel, Jimmy called his colleagues and asked them to contact the police station in the city to investigate the bowling. An Yizhi thought about what would happen next, and Shuidao Mengzi couldn't help but want to run to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Just then, a loud noise came from the other end of the corridor.
——Bang!
They were stunned and realized what the voice represented.
It's a gunshot!
Jimmy and another policeman quickly pulled out their guns and rushed towards the sound source. An Yizhi hesitated and followed up, but he always remembered to shrink his body behind the police. After all, he was unarmed. What's the danger? The one that was beaten.
"The gunshot came from this room."
Jimmy judged and shouted:
"Listen to the people inside. We are the police. Put down your weapons!"
Ann looked up at the door number. This is svidi's room.
The landlady, her daughter Tracy and Irene appeared at the other end of the corridor. Another policeman quickly raised his hand to show them not to come over.
At the same time, the crowd outside the door heard a deep groan. Jimmy realized that someone might be hurt inside. He directly raised his foot and kicked it on the door panel.
No matter how useless it is, at least it is a professionally trained policeman. Although Jimmy has a weak and bullied face, he has a strong physical quality. He kicked the door lock directly.
The two policemen rushed into the room with pistols. An pointed out his head from the gap. He saw that the window of the room was wide open. Svidi fell by the bed and covered his belly. A lot of blood seeped out. The carpet was red.
Jimmy moved over, examined swedy's wound and said:
"The bullet is still in his body. Call the medical personnel and let them come by helicopter."
Svidi struggled to release his hand, still clutching a revolver, as if it had been snatched from the attacker. Then he grabbed Jimmy's hand and said:
"Yes... It's Mike..."
Then he fainted. It should be because he lost too much blood.
Ann took two quick steps and came to the open window. She just saw a figure running along the path behind the hotel.
"He ran away and looked in the direction of going to the mine!"
As soon as Jimmy heard this, he quickly said to his colleagues:
"You stay and hold down the wound to help him stop bleeding. I'll go after it."
Without waiting for an answer, he darted out of the room. His colleague took off the walkie talkie on his shoulder and informed the police of the nearby hotel to collect evidence.
Ann knew the last story had begun as soon as she saw it, and ran out with Jimmy. Of course, he's not going to catch people. It's almost the same with his physique. He's just going to see the final outcome.
The police who had been scattered all over the hotel street received the news and ran out to meet Jimmy. There were seven or eight people in total. In addition, the other party didn't have weapons in his hand. An Yizhi thought he would be fine.
——This is a flag.
Because it started late, when the police chased it, the landlady's son Mike had already got into the mine entrance.
Everyone had no choice but to follow him into the mine.
"Stop! Or I'll shoot!"
Jimmy, the leader, warned loudly, but the other party didn't listen. He rolled on the spot, took something strip out of the shadow behind the rock and lit the kerosene lighter.
Jimmy was about to shoot. Ann pointed out quickly and stopped it.
"Look what's in his hand!"
They found that Mike was holding a mountain opening explosive. Then he kicked it with his foot and kicked half a box out of the shadow behind the rock.
So, don't set up a flag casually, otherwise you may be distracted.
"Step back! You all step back!"
Mike shouted with explosives in his hand. It seemed that his mental condition was a little bad, and there seemed to be tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.
In order not to stimulate him, the police dare not act rashly for fear of stimulating the explosives in his hands.
"I'll tell you to step back, or I'll light the dynamite!"
"You can't run away. Surrender honestly."
Considering the possibility that the other party may be impulsive, the police can only step back a few steps. After all, they are now in the mine. If the box of explosives explodes, the mine is likely to collapse.
Explosives, a man who betrayed his co-workers 20 years ago and planned to swallow precious stones alone, murder, inexplicably shot svidi.
These keywords go around in an Yizhi's mind and finally form a coherent clue
So it is
"I don't believe a word you said! Everyone is lying to me! Lie to me!"
Mike seemed more and more excited. Both an Yizhi and the police realized that this guy could ignite explosives at any time.
"I've had enough of this shit town!"
——Bang!
The lighter leaned towards the fuse. Jimmy quickly raised the muzzle of the gun and hit Mike's right hand with explosives, which also made him fall.
I don't know where the shooting accuracy is higher than Ann's, but unfortunately, the shot was shot a little late.
The fuse of the explosive had been lit. It made a popping sound, slipped from Mike's hand and rolled quickly towards the tunnel behind him.
"Get out of here!"
Needless to say, Jimmy, everyone knows that you can't stay here.
Fortunately, the area of the tunnel is not small. There is no problem for everyone to run together.
Ann Yizhi felt a little regretful and came to join the fun. He thought he had the opportunity to pretend to force him to tell the whole story. Before he could speak, Mike lit the explosives directly.
——According to the routine, shouldn't the protagonist convince the enemy with his mouth gun?!
It's not a big problem to escape. It's only more than ten meters away from the entrance, but before they ran out for a few steps, they heard a loud noise from the tunnel.
The ground under my feet shook like rolling, and it was difficult to stand. Fine stones and dust fell from the top of the cave.
Ann didn't stand firm. He fell with a pop. His chin hit the ground directly, and his eyes were full of stars.
Vaguely, I could feel someone pulling his clothes. I looked up and saw that it was Shuidao Mengzi.
Jimmy also found Ann's falling finger. He covered his head with his hand and rushed over to set up Ann's finger and run out.
But before Jimmy felt it, Ann felt empty. A sense of falling shrouded him, and a big hole appeared under him.
The girl of Shuidao Mengzi never let go. As a result, she fell into the hole with an Yizhi.
And then? As soon as an pointed, he didn't know much. He might have been hit on his head by a falling stone. Anyway, his eyes are dark now, and the system indicates that he is in a temporary coma.
After all, it's just a copy of ordinary difficulty. The system can't get the plot that players will die without warning. An Yizhi is still very relieved.
Then less than a minute later, although it was still dark, an Yizhi felt that he had regained control of his body.
He was in a prone position, with hard rocks under him. Except for some pain, he should not have been hurt.
As it was dark nearby, an Yizhi didn't have the ability to cast spells. He was just groping in the dark and measured his environment by hand.
But when I touched it, I found a cold metal object. When I got it, I found that it was the kerosene lighter Mike used to light explosives.
Gently rotate the pulley and ignite the kerosene on the cotton sliver with a flint, so that the dark environment can see things.
This is a very narrow environment. An Yizhi can only bend down and crouch here.
He looked up at the top. A whole slate was on his head and should have been blocked. Fortunately, it didn't fall too deep underground, because as long as the fire was close to the gap between the slate above, air and wind could be found pouring in.
Then he checked around with a lighter and found Shuidao Mengzi not far away.
There were still ups and downs in her chest. She stretched out her hand to test her pulse and breath and confirmed that she just fainted.
Relieved, Ann raised the lighter to the other side and startled him.
A skeleton that had been turned into white bones leaned there. It seemed that it had been dead for a long time. Its clothes were almost rotten, leaving only some rags.
"Hmm? What's that?"
When the fire was shining, an Yizhi saw that there seemed to be some reflective things in front of the skeleton. When he got closer, he found that it was a white crystal particle, which looked the size of a peanut.
"The raw ore of diamonds?"
It should look right. Then he found that the pockets on the skeleton were bulging. With disgust, Ann stretched out her hand and took it out.
It was a very old broken iron box. It looked more like a metal pencil box popular with primary school students in the 1970s and 1980s.
When I opened it, it was filled with raw diamonds of different sizes, almost filling this box more than ten centimeters long.
"This is too lying trough!"
No wonder the system said when accepting the entrustment that the entrustment may make a lot of money. An Yizhi was still a little puzzled. After all, it doesn't look like making a lot of money from the process. As a result, the so-called making money is estimated to refer to these raw mines.
——This way of implementation is really easy.
He said so. Without hesitation, he put the box into the pocket of his down jacket.
At this time, a slight groan went into his ear and turned his head. The groan came from a gravel pile not far away. It should have been formed when it collapsed before.
He pushed aside a few pieces of gravel and saw the people under him.
It's Mike.
His leg was pressed under the stone and seemed to be badly hurt.
At the same time, an Yizhi also heard a cry from above, which should be rescue.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"Tea, please."
Shuidao Mengzi, with a bandage wrapped around his head, put the tea bowl in front of an Yizhi. This time, there was tea instead of boiled water.
The picture suddenly turns back to the detective office, which is somewhat confusing. An Yizhi is used to the sudden direct jump of the system. After all, he has experienced it several times.
This also means that the previous event has been completed. An Yizhi quietly opened the task list, and the branch task above is also completed. The task note says that the murderer is Mike, which is basically similar to an Yizhi's last guess.
"In the end, we didn't find out who commissioned the investigation twenty years ago?"
"It doesn't matter. I can guess anyway. It's Mike."
An Yizhi picked up the tea bowl and replied casually:
"The cause of the whole incident was the mine accident 20 years ago. At that time, Mike's father secretly bought a batch of explosives from nowhere and planned to swallow the precious stones hidden by his workmates. However, he didn't expect to bury himself in the mine cave. In order not to force old banniang to leave the town, the workmates fabricated a lie that it was an unfortunate accident and hid the truth 。”
Shuidao Mengzi nodded, which she also knew.
"Although out of good intentions, excessive concealment leads to misunderstanding."
He sighed and continued:
"Just because he didn't know the truth at all, Mike probably thought his father's death was related to those people. After all, he ran to secretly dig gemstones. Everyone was fine except his father. The most suspected one was the mayor. He not only had a criminal record of enriching his own pockets, but also had an attempt to kill old banniang. As a result, Mike designed to kill him."
"Since he is going to kill, why should he entrust us?"
"At the beginning, he probably didn't intend to kill people. Maybe he was very confused about whether he should do so. I think Mike was confused at that time. On the one hand, the 'truth' he found made him think his father died of the mayor's calculation, on the other hand, his conscience as a normal person made him feel that he couldn't kill people. I guess it was him who sent a threatening letter to the landlady , maybe he wanted to keep the landlady and her sister away from the town. After all, he had the idea of killing people at that time and didn't want them to get involved. "
This is a pure guess, and there is still no evidence. It is unknown how the truth is. His guess is only based on the notes after the task is completed.
"It shouldn't have happened. If he wasn't so self righteous and went to the police to investigate the data of that year, it wouldn't be like this."
"Yes, the concealment based on good intentions led to the death. Mike's explosives should have been left by his father twenty years ago. He suddenly had a mental breakdown. He might have overheard our conversation with sverdy. Speaking of it, the bus driver was miserable enough. Mike was forced to ask him with a gun because the truth was different from the truth he thought in his heart. He was finally punished One shot. "
The whole entrustment process is roughly like this. To be honest, it's not too beautiful or too wonderful story.
Shuidao Mengzi regretfully said:
"The hot springs in that hotel are really good. I want to see them again when I have a chance."
An Yizhi, who was looking at whether there was any new entrustment on the computer, suddenly remembered something.
"Where's the down jacket I used to wear?"
"It's on the hanger. I'm going to have it dry cleaned tomorrow."
"There should be an iron box in your pocket. Take it out and have a look."
Mizushima Mengzi didn't know what medicine Ann Yizhi sold in the gourd, but he was very obedient. Soon he came back with an old iron box.
"What's in here?"
She looked at the raw DIAMOND ORE inside and wondered:
"What stone is it? It looks a bit like rock candy."
“……”
This girl, why do you still want to eat?
To make complaints about the body, he found himself losing control of the body. At the same time, the system also gave hints.
[when the main task is completed, you can choose to transmit immediately or automatically after 180 seconds]
Is it because the box of gemstones was not taken out that the main task was not completed?
After all, an Yi pointed out that the main task of this time can be summed up as "making money". The value of that box of diamond raw ore is enough to complete the main task.
The end of this copy is not as simple as every time the player is directly sent away.
From an Yizhi's perspective, we can see that his own body is going away, just like the soul running out of the body.
Laughing and talking with Mizushima Yumiko, he could make complaints about the "one detective office" sign that he wanted to Tucao every time.
Looking at this scene, an Yizhi suddenly felt that if there was such a "an Yizhi detective firm" in a parallel world, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.
Whether for an Yizhi or Shuidao Mengzi.
She is not a collateral branch of the Shuidao family, nor is she a gangster to avenge her father and brother, nor is she a liaison officer to assist overlord, and it is best not to be a loyal subordinate of someone.
As the assistant of "an Yizhi", Mizushima Mengzi followed him to solve the case and live a peaceful life together. Maybe it's a very good ending for this sister who has appeared too many times in the temporary copy.
Before being completely transmitted by the system, an Yizhi suddenly had such an idea in his heart, and then he lost his smile.
Shuidao Mengzi in the office felt a sense of unity, looked out of the window, and then said to "an Yizhi":
"I'd like to eat a silked apple at noon."
“……”
Seeing the results of diamond raw ore can be associated with the drawing apple. This sister is still the same
