Chapter 426 Voting to determine the murderer
The activity room of the musical instrument club is still the same, but Shu Ling is not in it.
Gu Xingchen looked around, as if thinking of something, and went straight to the piano placed in the middle of the room.
Six strange stories, including the "Previous Story Summary" of the program group, plus the popular science that Zhao Yingnan and his team occasionally discussed, he already knew a lot.
And, like Song Qingyou and others, they came to the conclusion of 'six hiding places'.
This music club activity room is naturally one of them.
The things inside seem to be a lot of miscellaneous. In fact, apart from the four walls, the only thing that can hide things is this piano.
Both Xu Xingzhou and Shu Ling said that the piano here has been played before, and there is no abnormality.
Gu Xingchen has never had time to come and verify.
He opened the key cover and pressed the keys from beginning to end.
Listening to the sound, there is indeed nothing unusual.
Gu Xingchen played it again without giving up, and after listening carefully, he opened the back cover of the piano as if unwilling.
There is still nothing in it.
Just when Gu Xingchen was disappointed, the sunlight outside the window happened to shine on the strings, revealing a trace of unusual
—Some strings are not the same color.
The cameraman following behind saw that Gu Xingchen hadn’t moved for a long time, so he could only ask:
"What is Teacher Gu looking at?"
Gu Xingchen came back to his senses, only then remembered that he was still recording a show, so he couldn't keep talking and doing nothing.
So he pointed to the black and red on the strings and said:
"Looking at this, it looks like blood here. Someone must have hidden some corpses here. This is why there are strange stories in the activity room of the Musical Instrument Club."
After a pause, Gu Xingchen said again:
"No, no, that head...is still well hidden in the wall of the library, and the other places...should still be where the strange story happened. This part of the piano must have been taken away."
"Teacher Gu thinks, who is most likely to take it away?" the cameraman asked.
Gu Xingchen shook his head slowly, but his thoughts were running fast.
According to Tang Zinian and the others, in the first few days, the few of them basically walked together, and there was almost no chance of acting alone.
Later he joined them again, and there was a chance to act alone, but the time did not match.
Because removing things from the piano and cleaning it up must not be done in a minute or two.
Of course, it is impossible to do it today.
"Acting alone—"
Gu Xingchen pondered as he walked outside.
Wait halfway, he suddenly realized.
"I see! It's Xiaoqingyou!"
"Apart from her, who else has been alone for a long time?"
So, Song Qingyou is most likely one of the murderers.
As for whether there are other murderers...
Gu Xingchen decided to go to the biochemical laboratory to have a look first.
So, a few minutes later, he appeared at the door of the laboratory.
As he guessed, Shu Ling was indeed inside.
As soon as he heard footsteps, the latter immediately looked back.
"Teacher Gu?" Shu Ling was extremely vigilant, with a forced smile, "Why are you here?"
Gu Xingchen walked in confidently, "Of course I came to find you."
"Looking for me?" Shu Ling retreated to the wall, "Mr. Gu thinks I'm the murderer, right? Or is it Mr. Gu?"
The cabinet in the laboratory was opened by several people before, and they were surprised by the neatly arranged skulls inside.
Shu Ling tentatively asked: "I'll answer your question, will you let me go?"
Gu Xingchen thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "Yes."
"Really?" Shu Ling was suspicious, "Once you say a word, it's hard to chase after me. If you promise to let me go, then you can't chase me within five minutes. Is it okay?"
"Can."
"Then you walk slowly inside, I will walk towards the door, let's stay away."
Shu Ling commanded the two of them to act, "I am not as strong as you, and I will never go back on my word."
Gu Xingchen nodded again when he heard the words.
Then the two circled the laboratory for half a circle, one left and one right, completely changing positions.
Shu Ling stood at the door, ready to sneak out at any time.
She pointed to the opened cabinet: "There is something hidden behind the mirror."
As soon as this remark came out, Gu Xingchen knew what was hidden behind it without asking.
Shu Ling wanted to leave after speaking, but Gu Xingchen didn't intend to let her go easily.
"There may indeed be something hidden behind the mirror, but when I came in, you were looking at the fish tank next to the cabinet."
"Is there something wrong with the fish tank?"
Shu Ling paused, and finally answered the question:
"There are giant salamanders in the fish tank, and there are several skeletons and models of giant salamanders in the cabinet. This laboratory...is not dedicated to studying this species."
After finishing speaking, Shu Ling didn't care whether Gu Xingchen had reacted or not, so she ran towards the stairwell.
Gu Xingchen had no intention of catching up at all, and stared thoughtfully at the label on the fish tank for a while.
"Giant salamander...salamander...call!"
After a while, he suddenly realized.
The cry of the giant salamander sounds like a baby crying.
The rumors of crying on the roof of the teaching building in Building B are obviously inseparable from the giant salamanders raised in the laboratory.
Gu Xingchen, who had solved another "puzzle" of strange talk, emptied the cabinet in a good mood, and successfully found a "bloody" leg behind the mirror.
——
Half an hour later, the remaining four people gathered at the entrance of the teaching building where the broadcasting room was located.
It's just four people who don't trust each other, guard each other, and have a long distance from each other.
Gu Xingchen spoke first: "Among the four of us, there is at least one murderer."
"Four people fight in a melee, and the murderer is easy to profit. I think we should come to vote. The person who gets the most votes will be torn off by three people. Before that, everyone is not allowed to move. How about it?"
Yu Muhuai nodded, "I'm fine."
Shu Ling: "I agree too."
Song Qingyou nodded slightly.
Gu Xingchen coughed lightly, "Let me tell you what I think first."
"I think the most likely murderer among the four of us is Qingyou."
"The first one is the character design of Qingyou. You all know that I am the school doctor. I have had many contacts with the female classmate who was sent to the school doctor's office. At that time in the school doctor's office, that classmate was very afraid of Zhao Yingnan. But thinking back carefully, Qingyou happened to be standing behind Zhao at that time."
"In addition, that classmate once told me that the person who bullies her is something I can't afford to offend. If I, a school doctor, can't afford to offend her, it can't be a school belle, but only someone who is the daughter of the school director."
"Another one, I found blood stains in the piano in the activity room of the musical instrument club, and the 'things' inside have been taken away... During this period, Song Qingyou, who was 'isolated' by us, was the only one who had a longer free time classmate."
Gu Xingchen narrowed his eyes, staring at Song Qingyou with a half-smile:
"Song, what do you think?"
