Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 15 Confessions of the Dead
Ms. Navis' card depicts a maid cleaning furniture with stick figures, which is slightly inconsistent.

Zhen Cheng, who imprinted the picture in his mind through instant memory, kept a steady pace and walked towards the stairs, thinking back to the abnormal place in the picture.

The characteristics of the maid's clothing look quite similar to the costume of the murderer seen in her environment, but after all, it is a sketch, and it is impossible to distinguish accurately.

This is not unusual.What's really strange is that the hand of the maid wiping the furniture is in a half-fisted position.No one would wipe furniture with a hand like that.It looks like...she's more like grabbing something that hasn't been drawn...

Thinking of this, the image of himself being covered to death by the maid with the rag in the other hand in the fantasy world came to Zhen Cheng's mind.

Compared to those great detectives who never forget every detail, Zhen Cheng has no particular advantage in this regard.But when she recalled the memories she had just experienced not long ago, she seemed to have discovered something.

Stepping down the luxurious stone steps, Zhen Cheng pursued his memories and locked his gaze on the piano in the corner.As expected, a dusty rag was lying peacefully on the lid of the piano.

Zhen Cheng realized the problem that he was faintly aware of in his memories - those things looked like props that the organizer deliberately left in the hall.

Thinking about it again, it seems that the huge key in [Baron]'s hand has also been seen in this hall?
Thinking of this, Zhen Cheng walked straight to the piano, reached out and picked up the rag.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded less than one meter behind her: "Is there anything special about this rag?"

The nervous female voice, even a little cautious, made Zhen Cheng who heard it ten times more frightened in his heart.

After a moment of panic, she could even imagine the weak and timid Ms. Nevis, like a cat, following her down the stairs on tiptoe without making a sound.

Nevis isn't a detective known for his reasoning and observation, but there's no reason to be stupid enough to ignore the problems he's pointed out.Having experienced the illusion just now, Zhen Cheng has no doubt that other characters will have unexpected means to obtain additional information.

Deliberate tracking and stealth skills that obviously exceed the limits of common sense have given Zhen Cheng a deeper understanding of this female detective who is known as "solving all problems with luck".

The key now is, how to prevent the murderer character who once really killed the victim from getting her weapon?
Holding the rag and turning around, Zhen Cheng had a big smile on his face.The banter was mixed with scrutiny and ridicule, and she replied happily: "If I guessed correctly, this rag should be the tool you used to kill me,"

Then, she made a move that made Ms. Navis scrambled - throwing the rag directly at the other party:
"Now, are you going to kill me with it?"

Nevis instinctively avoided what Zhen Cheng threw at him, letting the rag fall directly to the ground.Her eyes swept back and forth between the rag on the ground and the smile on Zhen Cheng's face, and because of repeated attempts, she finally picked up the rag on the ground.

The moment his fingertips touched the rag, Nevis felt a trace of warmth that should never exist in this object that had been on the cold piano cover for a long time.

Is she telling the truth?

Along with the props being thrown by Zhen Cheng, there is another problem.Do you want to "kill" her?

Facing the girl's playful expression, Detective Navis put away the nervousness and hesitation on his face.The speed is so fast that it gives the illusion that the second personality is online.

Weak control, listening and observation, behavior analysis, suggestion induction.Under the mask of "the luckiest detective", the real strength of Navis' fame and merit comes from the fact that she is an expert in psychology from the behavioral-cognitive school.

But at this moment, she was completely unable to interpret Zhen Cheng's motives and intentions behind her actions.

Facing an outlier among the detectives and a geek who gains an advantage from the other side of the field, can Zhen Cheng, who relies on the game of intelligence, have a way to break the game?
Yes, and at the moment from being frightened to turning around, she has already put it into practice.

The only person who can stun an expert in behavioral analysis theory is a lunatic who is beyond all theories.

Zhen Cheng's choice is very decisive, because she is very aware of her strengths and weaknesses.If things develop to forcibly cover up and finally be seen by the other party to see their guilty conscience, it will turn into an ugly fight and snatch.

And once the matter involves physical strength, physical fitness, and athletic ability, she is very sure that the results are mostly not optimistic.

"A well-known person, Miss Zhen's ingenuity I really learned today. To be honest, I have met a few criminals who are smart enough to think of you. But none of them can put a crazy show that undermines my judgment. To be as pure as you, true color, seamless,"

Obviously, Ms. Navis had an insight into the essence of Zhen Cheng's performance at a glance - her disguise was seen through, and the other party found the most effective way to deal with it in an instant and successfully put it into practice.But she saw her words change:
"But if you think that I only know how to guess the truth through the performance of my opponents, and I'm not good at the logical interpretation that everyone likes you guys thinks you are the best in the world, I'm afraid you still underestimate me.

Your identity seems to be the enemy in this game, but in fact, the conflict of interest between us 'suspects' is greater than the conflict with you, the victim.

Against most 'suspects', the best course of action for you is to imply our half-truths.On the one hand, it allows us to understand the truth that we are not the murderer, and on the other hand, it leads us to mistakenly believe that the wrong player is the real murderer.

This is enough to prevent us from finally giving correct reasoning on the premise of keeping ourselves safe.Take all the advantages in the loose victory conditions given by the organizers.

In other words, out of all five 'suspects', at least four will not be a threat to you, and may even be of some help.The premise is that we ourselves are not stupid enough to draw false conclusions.

And the only person who needs to be trapped in a keyhole by you to restrict his movement is the only [murderer] who really did it in history.You see, come back in a big circle, or your actions reveal the truth for me, don't you?
Miss Zhen, your madness is in disguise, just like me.Therefore, we with a very clear and rational bottom-level consciousness cannot do really crazy, irrational behaviors that go against our own interests.This is your biggest flaw!

If I'm not mistaken, even if I'm not following you, you'll find an excuse to give me the 'kill weapon', at some point when you think I've made sure I'm not a killer, right? "

As she spoke, the expression on her face was no longer timid, and there was no longer a trace of fear in those owl-like round and large pale yellow pupils.Instead, it was suppressed distortion and morbidity, much like the maid who completed the murder with a rag:
"Miss Zhen, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid is my specialty. If you want to make me suffer in this regard, you are still too young.

The ugly words are in front of you, if you try to restrict my movements like you did against Epirens, I will throw the rag directly by your side and complete the kill.

Believe me, if it develops to a situation where both of us are eliminated, it will definitely be a bigger loss for you. "
