Joker Game (Fei Gua) Chapter 180: Story 8
Something happened... a big deal.
The camera followed Sergeant Andrew and Parn as they rushed into the apartment building. The dilapidated stairs and the musty smell from the bald walls, along with the terrified eyes of the surrounding residents, it is easy to find the beginning of the incident Place.
In front of a single room on the 3rd floor, there was a crowd of people. With curious eyes, they leaned in front of the concealed door, and then backed away in panic, showing a look of being scared and lost. The frightened expression of the soul, and even a few of them fell to the ground pretending to be posture... and those who haven't seen it, they squeezed hard to the front, wanting to see this can only be seen in TV dramas See a scene in order to add a little after-dinner talk to my pale life.
"Bastard! Get out of the way!" Sheriff Pain roared, regardless of the dissatisfaction of the people around him for "watching the fun and not queuing", he roughly pushed the crowd away, and soon came to the morning door. In front of the wide open door, Mr. Andrew followed closely.
The camera followed closely, extending into the apartment.
This is almost the most dilapidated room in the entire residential building. A mattress full of holes is spread on the floor, and the rest are countless wine bottles stacked in the corner. A room of an alcoholic who is evolving into a homeless person...without even a decent piece of furniture, it can be seen clean at a glance. Oh, by the way, the reason why so many onlookers are attracted here is because there is a ceiling fan with missing blades on the ceiling, and above that. A person was hanging, his feet dangling in the air, swaying slightly, accompanied by bursts of overwhelmed "squeaks".
It is worth mentioning that this person...is the alcoholic who claimed to be an eyewitness!
......
......
The case is closed.
There is no sign at all... It's even absurd, it's like two countries are at war, the army has already approached the city, and a war that will rewrite history is about to break out, but suddenly, the king of the enemy country Gaba died of plague, and then The whole country rebelled collectively, the city gates were opened wide, lights and festoons were decorated, flowers paved the road, the whole city was full of gongs and drums, and the streets lined the sides to welcome.
If this is really a movie, then the screenwriter will probably be scolded to the grave and feel embarrassed to grow grass...
But, it really ended like this.
In the single apartment, I found a **** yellow windbreaker and a **** dagger. After some simple blood type comparisons by the police station, it was confirmed that the blood on it was the same as that of the deceased. It can almost be regarded as ironclad proof.
It was supposed to be like this, the one who died was just a homeless man with no friends or family, even if he didn't die by the knife, maybe he would fall into the well or freeze to death on the street after drinking too much next time!
Nobody cares about his death...except the boring media.
Detective Andrew's name was included in the police department's cooperation list... and it was also published in the newspaper. As I said before, on the third day after the case, an unknown private The detective, single-handedly, had solved a murder before the police, and the news would undoubtedly have been placed on the headlines of those pale and boring newspapers. ...As for the relationship between the murderer and the tramp, or his motives for killing, these and other issues also become meaningless as the murderer commits suicide in fear of crime.
As for why he lied about being an eyewitness before committing suicide, in fact, if you think about it carefully, maybe he was going to surrender himself that day, but because of Sergeant Pahn's intrusion, let him If he changed his mind, the reason why he drank so wildly in the bar at that time was probably because he wanted to have a last carnival before he died. This kind of operation is logical for an alcoholic.
......
The case is over...but, the story is not over yet. After the episodes just now were briefly captured by the interlude, our point of view came to a bar, that is, the bar where Mr. Parn brought the alcoholic witness to meet Mr. Andrew. The point of view is still the same point of view, and the distance is still a blurred shot. , can't see clearly. Andrew changed into new clothes, and his unkempt hair was also sorted out. He looked much more refreshed, but his eyes still looked worried.
He drank another glass of wine, put a banknote on the table, and stood up.
The camera focused on behind him, wobbly, passed a few tables, and then came to a door that looked familiar. He hesitated for a few seconds before pushing the door open.
There is an alley outside the door. It is very dark at night, and we can vaguely hear the traffic passing by on the road. After a few seconds, the camera gradually adapts to the weak light, and then the camera rotates. Only then did I see the whole picture of this alley, where the homeless man died.
After watching the scene in front of him, Andrew smiled slightly
Suddenly the picture is interrupted, and it is pitch black
In the darkness, a phone rang, followed by Andrew's voice...
"Hi..."
......
......
After that!
"The story is over!" The voice of the TV sounded, and the expression made of line segments appeared on the screen again.ヽ(??ω??)ゝ
"Huh?"
"Nani?"
Chen Xiao and Yuren shouted in unison.
"What the hell, is this the end?" Chen Xiao shouted.
The TV said with certainty: "Of course! The story is all over!" ╰(*′︶`*)╯
Yu Renjun also quickly asked: "Then that means, the clues in the story can no longer be purchased?"
"Yes!" The TV replied: "Because the previous rules also said that if the screen transitions, the problems shown in the previous screen cannot be purchased."
"Well...it seems that I don't want the contestants to bid for the content of the last phone call, but...then I still have 300 chips left, what should I do with it?" Yuren asked.
"That's right, that's right, I have more than 300 points left, how can I use it?" Chen Xiao also shouted shamelessly.
The TV interrupted the two people: "Although the clues in the story can no longer be auctioned, you can still ask questions, but the answers you get are only "yes" and "no"!
Also, according to my calculations, Mr. Chen Xiao's remaining chips should only be 238 points. "
"Ah~ I know, I just rounded up." Chen Xiao explained shamelessly.
The TV seemed to be lazy to pay attention to him, so it continued: "However, since the current story is over, every time you ask a question, you must tell the whole story. , then exchange rights, let the other party ask and narrate, and so on, until the real story is deduced! Of course, the person who finally finds the truth is the winner of this competition!"
......
......
"Oh, so that's the case, so it seems that it's time to decide the outcome..." Yuuto-kun said with a smile, then raised his hand and shouted: "Ask a question!"
This was supposed to be a moment to fight for the right to narrate, but Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, and even spread his hands, posing in a gesture of "please".
Yu Renjun was taken aback for a moment: "Hehe, so that's the case...then, I'm not going to be polite." Then he asked: "The reason why Sheriff Pahn helped Detective Andrew is because Money?"
"50 points!" The TV said, and immediately after, Yu Renjun's cell phone rang. It seems that the questions raised at this moment have no longer asked whether to buy, but directly deducted the chips and sent the answer up.
Yu Renjun glanced at the answer displayed on the phone, and smiled slyly, just as I thought: "Then, I'm going to start telling this story."
As he spoke, he cleared his throat in a pretentious manner.
"You have heard the question I just asked, and the answer I got is "yes". Now, the answer is almost solved,
Sheriff Pahn needs money, because he is nearly 50 years old, as a police officer who has been running on the front line and always fails to get promoted, this is already an old age up. He knew that if that day came, he would lose his existing sources of income, and it would be even more impossible to obtain custody of his daughter. He could only become a loner waiting to die on his pension... oh, yes Oh, I forgot there's a guy here who doesn't know the profile of Sheriff Parn. Ha ha. "..
As he said that, he looked at Chen Xiao with a mocking face: "Then, let me say it briefly, Sergeant Pahn was divorced and left the house, and he should have not seen him for a long time This is his heart disease for many years.
So, we come to the part of the story we saw. Before he retired, he found a little-known third-rate detective——Mr. Andrew, and promised him that he would make him a famous detective. In exchange, after becoming a famous detective, every case in the future You have to give yourself a share, or give yourself a sum of money directly. The specific content of the transaction is irrelevant... In short, Mr. Andrew, who is a third-rate detective, must be happy to accept this transaction.
However, what Sergeant Parn did not expect was that for a long time after that, the neighborhood under his jurisdiction was very quiet, no major cases occurred, and those trivial things did not make Andrew Mr. is not interested...
Time is passing by so little by little, and it is getting closer and closer to the time for Sheriff Pahn to leave his post, so...he panicked.
He lost everything because of work, and lived alone in a single apartment. He lost his family, lost his happiness, and was about to lose his job. He put all his feelings on his daughter. If he lost this, then he What's the point of living?
This thought made him radical.
Finally, he directed a "murder case" himself.
That's why the person who dies is a homeless man with no friends and no family! How could such a person kill someone in his spare time? The reason is... no one is really going to find out the cause of death.
After that, he found another alcoholic who also had nothing, that is, the witness, and asked him to meet Mr. Andrew in the bar, creating a situation similar to "wanting to surrender before death, but hesitating, and can only The illusion of "buying drunk",
Actually, the testimony he said was taught by Sergeant Pahn, which not only gave Mr. Andrew an advance, but more importantly, found a scapegoat.
The next morning after leaving the bar, Sergeant Parn made an appointment with the alcoholic witness to meet at the old apartment building ~IndoMTL.com~ The reason is probably to pay him or something, and then he killed the witness , and pretended to be a suicide, and deliberately closed the door of his room so that the neighbors could find his body. Immediately afterwards, Pain called Andrew, and the plot after that was just like what was shown in the picture The two stayed in the cafe opposite until the body was found. As for the yellow windbreaker and the **** weapon, he also forged it. For a sheriff in charge of this case, he got some blood from the body. It couldn't be easier, and Andrew~ with his method of solving cases, it is impossible to compare with Sergeant Pahn, who has been struggling on the front line of crime.
In this way, Sergeant Pann directed and acted in a personal show, killed two low-level scumbags who no one cared about life and death, packaged a detective, got a sum of money, and at the same time, washed away The last phone call was undoubtedly made by Sergeant Pahn. The plan was so successful...Of course it should be celebrated. Of course, it is more reliable to ask for a reward. "
Yu Renjun narrated the whole story with a smile, and I have to say that his narration is worthy of the words "lifelike".
But just before he had time to pose as a winner
"The plot is wrong... Let's exchange narrative rights, and the other contestant will ask questions..."
