"Sorry..."Story Element" is single and can only be sold once." The TV set said lightly.
"Nani??" Tsujido-kun felt cheated again... "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Because you didn't ask~"
"Eh..." Tsujido-kun thought of this result almost instantly.
And continued to ask: "If I'm not wrong, I have to pay for this question before that~"
"Of course~"
"Well, it's really hard work, you shameless." Tsujido-kun scolded politely, and then spread his hands, signaling that he admits it, and continue quickly.
So let's go back to the plot.
Just when our "loser in life" Mr. Andrew was still immersed in a dream, a mobile phone rang suddenly.
In the picture, Andrew is obviously unwilling to pay attention to the call that came in in the early morning, so he covers his head with a quilt in annoyance, but the phone keeps ringing, and there is no intention of hanging up... Helpless, Andrew I had no choice but to pick up the phone in a daze, and glanced at the caller ID.
Immediately afterwards, he woke up immediately, sat up suddenly, looked at the phone and hesitated for a second, and then answered the phone.
"Why..." He seemed to ask cautiously.
The person on the other end of the phone obviously said something... Afterwards, Mr. Andrew's frowning relaxed a lot, and he turned back to that lazy look with no pursuit.
"Okay~ I'll get over it when I wake up!" He mumbled weakly, then closed his eyes again, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, when the screen played here... Chen Xiao yelled: "I want to listen to the call!"
The next moment: "I want to listen too!" Tsujido Yuuto also shouted at the top of his voice. At this time, he seemed to have dropped all manners...
Nonsense, in the face of this kind of opponent, of course you can do without the disguise of politeness and morality.
With the shouting of the two people, the picture also stopped, and the voice of the TV appeared again: "The content of this call is worth 5 points...Please bid!"
"Huh? Can you still bid?" Tsujido yelled.
Chen Xiao didn't care so much, just raised his hand, just like speaking in elementary school: "6 o'clock!"
Tsujido-kun rolled his eyes, and imitated raising his hand: "7 o'clock!"
Chen Xiao: "10 o'clock!"
Tsujido-kun: "Ahh! 15 o'clock!"
Chen Xiao: "Big atmosphere... I don't want it anymore~" He changed the topic, and then put his hand away, as if nothing happened.
Tsujido-kun: "Ah..."
After a brief auction of these two live treasures, Tsujido-kun also successfully bought this conversation. Immediately, he put the phone on his ear, and smiled at Chen with a mocking face... But Suddenly, he froze for a moment, he had heard something unintentionally, and then his expression was solemn.
And Chen Xiao... looked at the other person's expression, didn't say a word, and didn't know what he was thinking.
......
......
The picture moved again. This time, after a brief transition, the camera came to a small alley on the side of the street. Judging from the slanted angle of the sun, it was almost noon, but the alley still felt uncomfortable. When it was warm, garbage was piled up all around, and there were still some puddles on the ground that hadn't dried up.
It stands to reason that such an alley should not be frequented by people very often, but at this time, it is crowded with... the police.
Well, just looking at the atmosphere, you can tell that a murder case probably happened here.
The camera moves forward, passing some busy leather shoes and wet cobblestone roads, and there are unreal noises all around, mixed with the sound of camera shutters and the occasional flickering exposure lamp, and finally freezes on a dead body.
Hmm... There is no objection at this point in the picture. Chen Xiao and Mr. Tsujido looked at each other, and they were ready to take pictures of the details of the corpse.
But unexpectedly, the camera did not freeze, but continued to advance, and the close-up of the corpse was directly displayed in the screen... It seems that from the perspective of the plot, players are not prepared to At such an early stage, there will be a big confrontation in the style of "smashing the pot and selling the iron".
Let's take a look at this corpse... the man, the hair and beard seem to have just been washed in a slop bucket, and the stench can be smelled through the screen, through the tangled hair, You can see those lifeless eyes, the pupils are already dilated, obviously the dead can't die anymore, and looking down, it is a coat that has not been washed for a long time, and the abdomen has been pierced by a sharp knife. The blood and the exposed cotton are kneaded together, and some faintly exposed internal organs are added to the mix, um... Let's put it this way, this close-up photo is placed on the dining table, and the weight loss effect must be extremely amazing.
At this time, in the picture, a person wearing a leather trench coat came to the corpse... This person is Mr. Andrew in the previous shot.
Immediately afterwards... "Hey! Smoking is not allowed on site!" A buzzing voice came.
Andrew curled his lips helplessly, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground next to the corpse, not forgetting to step on it!
The next second, a tall and fat man broke into the screen. Judging by his clothes, he should be a police officer with some power to speak. He stared at Andrew viciously, and then looked around to confirm that no one noticed this After smoking a cigarette butt, he hurriedly picked it up and put it in his pocket.
"Damn, you have to know how much I have tried to get you to accept this case. If you mess up again, don't even think about it..." The fat man paused and didn't say anything more, but It can be seen from his expression that now he can't wait to turn Andrew into another corpse immediately.
"Okay, I know you're helping me..." Andrew waved his hand casually and said, "But...you're helping yourself, aren't you?"
At this point, Andrew said something inexplicable, and the camera specially gave him a close-up of his face.
When he said this, there seemed to be a playful smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.
That's when...
"Ask a question!" Hiroto suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Have I...have seen the murderer's face?"
And the TV seemed to think about it for a while: "Hmm...Are you asking about the person who killed this homeless man?...This question is worth 300 chips..."
------------
Chapter 176 Story Four
I have to say that this question is very good, but after hearing what the TV said, Tsujido smiled slyly: "Oh? 300 points?Then I don't want it. "
Yes, 300 points, who would buy such a "big" message at the beginning of the story...
Moreover, not all questions need to be answered. The price of "300 points" is enough to explain the problem.
As for Chen Xiao, there are a total of more than 300 chips in this product, and of course it is impossible to throw them all at once.
Well... no one knows the answer to this question, but the two contestants can also guess from the size of the chips that the murderer who killed the homeless man must have played a very important role in this story.
The story continues...
Although the chubby sheriff looked very upset at Andrew, he seemed to really want to help him take over the case, so he just let out a helpless sigh and began to describe the clues that the police had learned for the time being
"Kyle, a homeless man, has no relatives or friends, and was found by the garbage attendant at 6 o'clock in the morning..." Speaking of this, the police chief pointed to a narrow iron gate beside the alley: "Oh. ...This is the back door of a bar, and the waiter opened the door from here, only to call the police after finding the dead body."
"What about the time of death?" Andrew scratched his tangled hair and asked... Well, although he has never solved a single case, he still knows to ask for the most basic "crime scene information" !
"The body was frozen all night, and the time is not so accurate. It is tentatively speculated that it was after 23:7 last night..." the police chief said leisurely, and then looked at Andrew's eyes, obviously knowing what he was going to ask next , so he answered first: "Ah, the deceased was stabbed seven times and died on the spot. There were no witnesses, and the bar was noisy and no shouts were heard. There are no surveillance cameras in this place. There are no signs of fighting at the scene. Look at this guy He probably was in a state of drunkenness when he was killed. The bartender didn’t know anything. What he saw at the time was what we see now. Anyone who knew the deceased was contacted, so it is impossible to speculate on the direction of the "motive for killing", but "taking money and killing life" must be ruled out."
The sheriff said, and finally showed his sense of humor. Of course, no one laughed... After listening to Mr. Andrew, he nodded and walked around the corpse again... .It is worth mentioning here that the camera has been switching between the faces of the sheriff and Andrew, except for the initial "close-up of the corpse"...and no more shots were given.
