Chapter 11 Death Speech

The incident happened so suddenly that Jiang Qian lost his balance and stumbled a few steps into the house.

The woman holding him also followed him into the house. It was the hot Liu Xiao!

"I just said 'I'll see you later', but I didn't expect... Ha, you'd come to see me so soon!" Liu Xiao's voice was very excited, and even her breathing was disordered.

She took off her coat impatiently, revealing the suspenders and belly-baring vest inside.

"Calm down, there may be some misunderstanding!"

Jiang Qian stood firm against the wall, and even he felt powerless in his explanation.

In addition, Liu Xiao's figure is really good...

No, that's not right... Jiang Qian held his forehead, restrained the evil fire that kept rising, and stared at Liu Xiao coldly: "Did you drug me?"

He didn't drink a drop of alcohol, and was also very careful when eating at the buffet. The only omission might be... the strong fragrance on her body?

"You're really smart, handsome boy, but don't worry, it's just a little fun!" Liu Xiao was drunk and rushed over almost naked.

She was really vivid and "scented"... The guess was verified, but the biggest question was still confusing:

What exactly is the crisis this time?

It can't be as simple as losing your virginity? Fuck, this lustful woman is a bit difficult to deal with!

Jiang Qian struggled internally.

After all, he was only twenty years old, and he was far from being an experienced driver.

Facing this kind of overbearing speed, he subconsciously stepped on the accelerator-retreat!

...

Although the process was a little embarrassing.

He was even scratched by the speeding female driver and his clothes were in disarray...

But Jiang Qian still managed to escape bravely from room 8003.

Facing the enchanting beauty who was furious inside the door, Jiang Qian politely apologized and retreated strategically until the door was slammed shut with a "bang".

Sob, sob, sob…

There was a cry from inside the door, mixed with some classic lines like “not a man” and “get out as far as you can”.

Jiang Qian raised his hand to press his temple, turned around and walked towards room 8001.

[Hint: You have completed the story line selection]

…

After successfully swiping the door open, Jiang Qian did not hesitate at all, pushed the door open and fixed his eyes on a stack of scripts on the cabinet.

“Finally…”

Jiang Qian felt that he had made a big sacrifice to get a script, and his brain seemed to be squeezed by the door.

As the drug was still working, he held the wall, supported himself through the closed door of the bathroom, and walked in with difficulty.

When he was almost in front of the cabinet, Jiang Qian stretched out his right hand towards the script and successfully fell to the ground.

His consciousness began to blur.

Before the darkness in front of his eyes, he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening.

…

It was pitch black.

Just like the confusion he felt when he first came to this world, just like the background color of this copy.

Then, Jiang Qian woke up in a commotion.

He opened his eyes and stared at the cheering crowd below the stage, as well as the staff operating the camera equipment around him.

Now he seemed to be at the recording site of a certain program.

"What's going on?"

He looked around and finally saw familiar faces - Yu Xuan, Li Tianer, and Liu Xiao! The three of them were lined up on the side of the stage, and each of them had a table similar to a podium in front of them.

Jiang Qian couldn't help but think: Is this preparing for a debate?

The host next to him was a famous talk show host in the entertainment industry today. He reminded Jiang Qian very considerately: "Student Jiang, welcome to return to participate in the "Dead Hearing" program!"

Dead Hearing... Wait, return to participate?

The corners of Jiang Qian's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Then, he heard the other party's kind explanation: "It's like this, classmate Jiang, although it sounds a little incredible, but in fact - you are dead."

"Yes, your body is there, it is fresh and well preserved, just like when you died last night!"

If you can't speak human language, you can sew your mouth shut... Jiang Qian resisted the urge to complain, followed the host's finger, and looked at the male body facing the loess and back to the sky placed in the center of the stage.

There was a dinner knife stuck behind the body, three inches below the left shoulder, and the small half of the blade remaining outside the body was shining. At the junction of the blade and the body, the blood spilled and stained the shirt, spreading into a shocking pattern.

"Unfortunately, you died last night in the room where your sister Yu Xuan stayed, Room 8001 of Junxi Hotel."

Jiang Qian looked at "his" body and the host coldly: "Just tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Uh, you are so rare to be calm and straightforward..." The enthusiastic host was obviously choked by Jiang Qian's reaction, "It's like this, after investigating the case where you were killed, we have locked in three suspects, who are currently at the scene. These three... you should have an impression?"

He pointed at Li Tianer, Yu Xuan, and Liu Xiao.

Jiang Qian answered without even looking at them: "I remember them clearly."

"That's great!"

The host looked relieved and said solemnly:

"Your task is to infer the real murderer based on the memories before his death, the current investigation results, and the evidence presented by the three suspects, and give yourself justice."

Jiang Qian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

That's what happened! Fortunately, it's a job that requires thinking. If I had to use my hands, I would have suffered a loss in experience... Jiang Qian secretly rejoiced.

He has already gone through most of this copy of the Whispering Heart Demon, and he must not give up the last shudder.

"So, the murderer must be among the three of them?" Just in case, Jiang Qian took the initiative to confirm the "rules of the game" with the host.

Because in most mystery novels, the murderer is often the one who is least likely to be suspected.

If the murderer this time is a hotel waiter, or a celebrity fan hiding in the dark and jealous of his beauty, then this level is a bit of cheating.

He got the answer quickly:

"Yes, Jiang, this is a known condition. The real murderer is among the three of them!" The host seemed to intentionally stir up the climax of the scene, and deliberately said it in a heavy tone.

Jiang Qian looked at the three beauties in the suspect seat again.

Li Tianer, who was full of joy even when facing the corpse, Liu Xiao, who struggled with her expression as if she loved and hated the deceased, and her sister Yu Xuan, who was heartbroken when her brother was killed.

Happy girl, lustful girl, true love girl - this is how Jiang Qian positioned these three people.

Lively and colorful.

He always knew what the tests and temptations he would face were.

But when Jiang Qian's eyes came into contact with Yu Xuan, he still subconsciously dodged.

It was difficult for him to admit what his feelings for Yu Xuan were. Although the two were not related by blood, true love? It should not be the case.

Damn copy, giving him an emotionally disabled person to do emotional kidnapping, isn't this bullying the vulnerable group?

But now is not the time to entangle this.

"Mr. Jiang, are you ready?" After pleasing the audience, the host turned to the "dead" Jiang Qian.

"I'm always here."

"Okay, I have to remind you that you must find the murderer in this case within 30 minutes! If you exceed the time limit or make a mistake in reasoning, it will be considered a 'failure'. I think you should know the price of failure, right?"

"Very well."

Failure is nothing more than death... death under the peony flowers.

Jiang Qian has experienced two life and death disasters and has predicted the nature of this copy, so his current state is calmer and clearer than the previous two levels.

Jumping up and down cannot solve the crisis in front of him. Here, absolute calmness is the shortcut to survival.

The next moment, Jiang Qian heard the host's exaggerated tone: "Okay~ In this case, let's agree on the on-site investigation information. At the same time, the 30-minute countdown begins!"

As the host's voice fell, the copy prompt sound also appeared in Jiang Qian's mind.

[Task: Confirm the real murderer based on the existing clues, countdown 30:00]

There was another round of restlessness and booing from the audience.

Many audience members threw their personal belongings onto the stage to add to the fun.

Jiang Qian frowned secretly. There were so many people and it was noisy here that it was easy to distract attention and it was not conducive to the reasoning. In addition, so many strong lights hitting the face would also make people nervous and limited their performance.

30 minutes, excluding the consumption of information communication, the actual time left for reasoning was very tight!

On the absurd stage.

The host systematically shared the investigation information, and the big screen showed the situation at the first crime scene.

"Surveillance showed that Jiang left the top floor at 7:45 pm and was found dead in room 8001 at 8:05. The first eyewitness at the scene was your sister Yu Xuan."

"According to Miss Yu, she left the nightclub at about 7 o'clock and went to the cafe, where she met with the director. Because she didn't wait for the script, the meeting ended at about 8 o'clock. After she returned to the room, she found her brother who had no vital signs."

"According to the autopsy results, the deceased died of a knife wound in the back and the heart was stabbed to death. There was no sign of struggle before death, indicating that the deceased may have been killed while unconscious."

"Of course, no complete fingerprints were detected on the knife. In the entire room, except for the deceased, Yu Xuan himself, and even the hotel service staff, there was no one else. Except for the fingerprints of the personnel, no other suspicious fingerprint information was detected. "

"It is worth mentioning that Liu Xiao lived in 8003 opposite room 8001. Judging from the night surveillance video, he had interacted with the deceased. Li Tianer lived in 8002 next door, and she also interacted frequently with the deceased. At the time of the incident, both of them claimed to be in their respective rooms. But no one could provide an alibi for them. "

After knowing the basic information of the case, Jiang Qian added: "It took 20 minutes from the time I left the elevator to the time I was found dead. Did the surveillance video on the guest room floor capture any suspicious people coming in and out?"

"Unfortunately, due to the damage of the surveillance equipment on the guest room floor, it is currently impossible to know what happened in the corridor after the deceased returned. "

"That's a pity. After I fell, I did vaguely hear the door open. If someone took advantage of the situation and attacked, it should be possible to film it in the corridor." Jiang Qian sighed.

But he had thought of this plot a long time ago.

The most likely scenario at present is that the murderer followed him after he entered Yu Xuan's room and stabbed him in the back.

As for the identity of the murderer, there is too little information available to make a judgment.

The motives and mental journeys of the three women, the happy woman, the lustful woman, and the true love woman, are unknown. Jiang Qian needs more perspectives to inspire and support his judgment.

The host reminded at the right time: "Do you want to listen to the testimony of the three ladies first?"

"That's what I mean." Jiang Qian said without hesitation.

"Okay, it should be noted that among the three of them, the real criminal can lie, so please be careful of scams."

Don't believe it...

But this just means that at least two of the three people are telling the truth.

At this time, the spotlight has been on the three women.

"According to the case requirements, to prevent collusion, the three suspects can only communicate with you individually. So, Mr. Jiang, who do you want to start with?"

Jiang Qian pointed at Li Tianer, who had a sunny face, and said, "Let's pick her! Seeing how happy she is, I even doubt whether she has inherited my inheritance."
