Chapter 20: Corpse appears! First meeting!
Ten minutes was enough for many things to happen.
If it was diarrhea, ten minutes sometimes wasn't even enough.
But strangely, Sun Wei actually arrived at the corpse location before them.
"Is there an Undertaker on the scene? Come over and verify the identity," Xiang Hao asked loudly.
However, no one responded.
"Just report it!" one person leaned down and touched the corpse.
"Clang—"
The bell rang through the town at night, spreading far away.
"Let's go, go back for a meeting!" Xiang Hao walked toward the church with heavy steps.
Yu Yue followed closely, and when passing by Sun Wei, she whispered: "You'd better explain clearly later."
In her and Su Yang's eyes, Sun Wei had become the primary suspect.
When the twelve people stepped into the church, two people were already sitting inside.
They were Zhou Han and Kong Feixue.
"Where did the person die?" Zhou Han said with a heavy expression.
"Your first reaction is actually to ask where the person died, not whether someone died," Su Yang said leisurely.
"Nonsense, if the alarm is sounded, someone must have died; is that even a question?" Zhou Han said loudly.
Su Yang looked at him twice and didn't say much.
Returned to his seat and sat down, waiting quietly for everyone to arrive.
During this time, no one spoke, and everyone remained silent.
The atmosphere gradually became eerie, and a cloud of suspicion hung over everyone's head.
Suddenly, a 'rustling' sound came from the table, and a line of blood-red words appeared—
"All players are in position, speaking starts from Number 11."
What?!
Everyone was shocked and looked toward the empty seats.
Except for Number 9 next to Su Yang being empty, Number 3 was also empty!
If they remembered correctly, Number 3 was the tall and thin man who had been clamoring all afternoon.
Was he dead too?
"Only heard one gunshot, but two people died..." Su Yang frowned tightly.
Number 11 was a slightly chubby girl with a few freckles around her nose, wearing a pair of thick, transparent glasses.
She stood up slowly, and the hourglass on the table suddenly reversed.
One-minute countdown, start!
"I was the second to see the corpse. The corpse's location was in the city square. I went down to find some daily necessities from the barbershop and saw Number 4 next to the corpse."
"I thought there was only one corpse, didn't expect two people to die. I remember Number 3 had a dispute with Number 8 before, and I think both Number 8 and Number 4 have murder suspicions," the chubby girl said and sat down.
When it was a player's turn to speak, other players were in a muted state, unable to make a sound or stand up.
They could only extract key information from the speech to analyze the killer.
After Number 11 finished speaking, it was Number 12's turn. She was a woman in tight sportswear, with a curvy figure, but her appearance was not outstanding.
"Number 11's speech is bad. Who can prove you went to the barbershop? Why do you dare to wander around alone, aren't you afraid of being caught alone by a wolf?" She glanced at Number 11 and continued:
"Also, since Number 4 was the first to be next to the corpse, did you see the murderer? If not, please explain why you stood there for a long time without reporting it."
"In addition, why did Number 3 die, and where did he die? If anyone saw it, please say it. In my vision, Number 4, 8, and 11 all have suspicions, at least Neutral or below."
After speaking, she sat down directly.
Number 13, Wang Yao, stood up to speak: "Number 12, what identity are you to point out wolves here? What about your own movement trajectory? Why don't you say it? Who were you with? Who did you see before and after the gunshot? You don't say anything, so what are you?"
"Let me talk about my movement route first. I went to the supermarket with Number 15 to get food and water, went back and forth to hug a few quilts, and finally went to the bathroom, then heard the gunshot, and reported it not long after."
"I can protect Number 15. Except for Number 1, 8, and 16, I have seen everyone else. The last time I saw Number 3 was an hour before reporting; he was walking toward the old tavern alone."
"That's all the information I have, pass."
She went to the bathroom before reporting?
A flash of light flashed in Su Yang's eyes.
The map showed that there was only one public bathroom in the town, in the red-light district in the southeast corner.
Coincidentally, Sun Wei also took a big dump before reporting.
They didn't run into each other?
Number 14 was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties. He stood up and said:
"I worked in the factory before and have some experience in repairing machines. I accepted the task of closing the valve in the factory and worked for about an hour. On the way, I went to the bathroom and saw Number 6, and we greeted each other."
"Before reporting, I was drinking in the old tavern and didn't see Number 3."
Number 15 was a petite girl, she said: "My information is the same as Number 13. After moving things, she went to the bathroom, and I was organizing food and water at the door."
"I ran over when I heard the gunshot."
Sun Wei stood up, glanced at Number 13, and said: "I arrived at the death scene at the same time as Number 2 and Number 10. For the first two hours, I was doing tasks in the warehouse with Number 1 and Number 8, and didn't see anyone else on the way."
"I went to the bathroom before reporting, but I didn't see Number 13. She is lying."
"After listening to the previous speeches, I think Number 14, 4, and 11 all have sufficient opportunities to kill."
"In addition, Number 5 Zhou Han and Number 7 Kong Feixue also have suspicions."
Yu Yue glanced at Su Yang without a trace; she remembered the suspicious point mentioned by the other party.
She didn't take it seriously at first, but when she saw Sun Wei at the scene, she felt he was highly suspicious.
She stood up and said: "Number 16 and Number 13's movement trajectories conflict. Number 13 said she went to the bathroom, and Number 16 also said he went."
"It takes 10 minutes from the red-light district to the city square, and 5 minutes from the warehouse to the red-light district."
"May I ask Number 16, how did you go to the red-light district for a big dump and then run to the scene within 10 minutes?"
"I was in the warehouse with Number 8 and never left, nor did I see anyone else. I think Number 16 is highly suspicious. He didn't explain clearly. I will vote for him this round."
It was Number 2 Guo Bing's turn to speak. He was one of the two men with a very stable lower body.
It's just that unlike Xiang Hao, he had a scar on his face and looked fierce.
"I don't have any information. I was cleaning the deck at the wharf alone until reporting."
Slacking off?
Su Yang marked him.
Finally, it was Number 4 Xiang Hao's turn to speak. He held it in for a long time,
"I accepted the task of squashing bugs in the old tavern, finished it in ten minutes, then returned to the church to rest and sleep for an hour and a half. After waking up, I thought about going to the warehouse to help, and saw Number 9's corpse when passing by the city square."
"I didn't see who did it; there was no one around, and I didn't see anyone on the way."
"The reason I didn't report it immediately was because I was worried that someone would suspect me of killing the Canadian Goose, and secondly, I wanted to wait for the Undertaker to come and examine the corpse."
"Those who returned to the church can testify for me, but I don't know why they didn't mention me in their speeches."
Xiang Hao's voice was full of grievances, but his tone was righteous.
It was Number 5 Zhou Han's turn. He first glanced at Yu Yue and Su Yang, sneered coldly, looking like the truth was only one.
"Although I wasn't at the scene, Number 4's speech is very upright, I can recognize him as a good guy."
"After listening to the circle, everyone has suspicions, but if you analyze it from the movement route, things are very simple."
"Two people died, Number 3 and Number 9. Obviously, it was a two-person crime."
"Before reporting, there were people in the barbershop, old tavern, factory, red-light district, church, and wharf."
"Xiang Hao didn't see the killer, so they must have run to a place where there was no one."
"Everyone think about it, with people in the southeast, northwest, and north, which place is a blind spot, and coincidentally has two people with guns in the blind spot?"
Once these words were spoken, all eyes looked at Su Yang and Yu Yue in unison.
"Obviously, the killers are Number 1 and Number 8!" Zhou Han said decisively. ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
