Chapter 420: Twins (1)

The five people registered simultaneously.

The six of them appeared in a Secret Room. This Secret Room was very simple, spacious, and bright.

About a hundred meters ahead, there were two statues of about the same size, with their backs to the crowd, making it impossible to see their fronts.

On the back of each statue, there was a very conspicuous red button.

Between the players and the statues, within this one-hundred-meter distance, there were two rows of ten square grids.

One row led to the statue on the left.

One row led to the statue on the right.

It looked a bit like...

An advanced version of Red Light, Green Light.

So, the crowd retracted their gazes and looked at Hua Changsheng among them.

Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, the crowd didn't dare to speak rashly.

Logically speaking, at this time, they needed to trick a cannon fodder to go test it, but everyone was a Three-Star player or above; no one would be stupid enough to act as cannon fodder.

The scene froze.

The crowd could only deduce the plot.

Chen Ran:

'Since this Instance is related to the plot of the Hell Dungeon, then...'

'The gameplay should be hidden within the plot.'

'The first two side plots are...'

'The first Secret Room: The little girl's father wanted to kill someone, so he carefully planned a murder, intending to use the fact that he was mentally ill to evade the law.'

'In other words, the father used some unknown method to lure the third person into the room, and the third person broke in to commit murder.'

'While the two were scuffling, they fell out the window together. One was crushed to death, and the other was hung outside the building by a pre-prepared rope.'

'And at this time, the little girl left a message on the phone, wanting to prove to the police that her father was committing a premeditated murder.'

'There are two points that don't make sense in the plot of the first Secret Room: One, killing the intruder when the intruder is also holding a murder weapon, no matter how you look at it, is justifiable self-defense. There was no need to carefully design such a scene.'

'Two, the father had a mental illness. No matter how the little girl framed him, the father wouldn't be sentenced to death by shooting; at most, he'd be sent to a mental hospital.'

'Therefore, the simplest process is: the father lured the murderer into the room, sneak-attacked the murderer, and killed the murderer. That would be it, and the little girl would have no chance to frame him at all.'

'If she wanted to frame him, she would have to prove that her father did not have a mental illness.'

'This is very difficult.'

'After all, the medicines in the father's bedroom were all prescription drugs for mental illnesses, which showed that the father was indeed a mentally ill patient.'

'Next...'

'The Second Chamber.'

This Secret Room was puzzling. Chen Ran always felt it was baffling.

They lost their memories, played the people who appeared in the plot, deduced the plot, and then acted according to the deduced plot.

'In the second side plot, why was there an amnesia segment?'

'Why were the neighbors basically unable to deduce it? Between the two people drinking...'

'Who is the real murderer?'

'And the murderer also lost their memory, and was very vague about their own identity.'

The plot of the second Secret Room in the Instance should be the key to this Instance.

But it was very difficult for Chen Ran to make a deduction.

…

Shu Renjun was also deducing.

Like Chen Ran, he was stuck on the deduction for the Second Chamber.

'Let's put aside the deduction for the Second Chamber's plot for now, and look directly at this Secret Room.'

'It's obviously Red Light, Green Light.'

'We need to follow the square grids, go over, and press the red button on the back of the statues.'

'Why would a children's game like this appear here?'

'Since this Instance is related to the plot, then the game is also related to the plot.'

'The statues have their backs to us. We are children. We walk behind the statues and press the red buttons on their backs, signifying...'

'In the end, it was the little girl who backstabbed the two adults and killed the two adults.'

'However, Hua Changsheng doesn't look like a child, which shows she has grown up.'

'In other words, the little girl in the plot, which is Hua Changsheng, carried out a...'

'Perfect crime!'

'Not only did she kill the third person, but she also killed her own father, and at the same time escaped legal punishment.'

'There's a problem here. Even if a little girl kills someone, she won't be sentenced to death; she can still grow up...'

'So, this perfect crime is still open to question, and a bit troublesome.'

'Because in this Instance, two types of 【people exempt from the law】 have been gathered.'

'If an old person over 75 years old were to be added, then this Instance would have gathered all the 【people exempt from the law】.'

However, judging from the fact that Hua Changsheng could survive to three stars in Hell, she must have received a good education in life, indicating that it's highly likely she indeed accomplished a perfect crime.

'In that case, I can start from the angle of a perfect crime.'

'How does one commit a perfect crime?'

'The first method is: Time!'

'There's not much to say about this. If I set a trap at a certain location over ten years ago to kill a person I want to kill over ten years later, it would be impossible to trace it back to me no matter what.'

'The second method is: Accident.'

'There's not much to say about this either. Using an accident to kill someone is the best perfect crime.'

For example, in a movie, a coin drops, causing someone to go pick it up, and the person picking up the coin is happened to be knocked down by someone riding a bicycle. This creates a disturbance, and a driver on the road glances at the disturbance and runs over a pedestrian.

This series of accidents results in someone dying, and no matter how it's investigated, it can only be handled as an accidental event.

'Time can be ruled out.'

'After all, she was still a child at that time.'

'In this Instance, which part would be judged as an 【accidental】 event?'

Almost at the same time.

All five players thought of...

The rope!

The end of the rope wasn't secured properly, or the head of the rope wasn't tied securely, which caused the little girl's father to fall from the tall building.
