Chapter 68: The Gambler's Needle (10)

  "What? The doctor didn't get the right person last night." Number 13 ponytail girl muttered, her face unable to hide her disappointment.

  "It's okay, it's okay, there's still a bailiff." The No. 13 little braid 'girl' suddenly patted her slightly bulging 'chest', with words full of joy and relief.

  "Then let's get No. 4 out of the way, and it'll be over once that's done." The little ponytail of No. 13 drooped as she pouted: "I really can't get used to this pattern."

  "I've been saying all along that Team 2 is definitely a thief, you guys didn't believe me, and instead attributed it to 'naked' votes. Luckily, one thief was finally caught. Otherwise... humph." The man with the messy hair from Team 14 glanced in the direction of the old suit-wearing man from Team 15 and An Yi, muttering two sentences with a gloomy tone.

  At the moment when the old man in the 15th suit appeared, his cheeks still had a hint of stunned and bewildered expression. Although this unusual color was quickly covered up by him...

  Furrowing his brow, the old man in the worn-out suit No. 15 muttered under his breath: "That's not right..."

  Hesitating for a moment, the old man in the 15th suit finally spoke up again: "I gave No. 4 stitches last night! The reason is that I think No. 4's team is the real deal. As for why, I don't want to explain too much. It's just..."

  "It was Number Eleven who died, that's not the point! The point is I gave Number Four an injection last night and didn't leave a needle mark on his temple. This means...” The old man in the worn-out western suit paused, scanning the surrounding darkness: “This means Number Four was also killed last night!”

  "This thing I don't need to lie about, and it's impossible for there to be a fifth thief on the scene. And this thing, I believe many people in the room should remember the introduction of special identities before the game started! When someone who was injected by the doctor is killed, there will not be a needle mark left on that person's head!" The old man in the 15th suit emphasized again: "In other words, last night, number four was indeed killed!"

  "Just... just why did Number Eleven die?" The old man in the worn-out suit, Number Fifteen, hesitated for a moment: "Could it be that the sniper made his move? Yes! It must have been the sniper!"

  "Now the situation……" The old man in the 15th suit sank into thought for a while: "Although I think that team No. 4 is the yamen, but this situation I fundamentally cannot confirm. On the scene now there are only three people who clearly know who is the thief and who is the yamen - No. 4, No. 7, and that sniper! Only these three people know."

  "If the sniper hit No. 4 last night, it means that No. 4 is a thief and I made a mistake. If the sniper hit No. 11 last night, it means that No. 4 is a constable and was stabbed by the thief last night. As for who the constable really is..." The old man in the worn-out suit adjusted his glasses: "Let's just let the sniper say."

  "Right! If the people behind don't recognize the sniper, it means that either No. 13 or No. 14 is the sniper, but they forgot to reveal their identity." The old man in the worn-out suit suddenly reacted and added: "If that's really the case, then at the time, everyone must not vote! Let No. 4 vote for No. 7, No. 7 vote for No. 4, and the sniper among No. 13 and No. 14 help the police officer kill the thief!"

  "I'll say it again, if the speakers after me don't recognize the sniper, then it means either No. 13 or No. 14 is the sniper." The old man in the worn-out western suit reminded once more with a tired tone: "Sniper, you killed No. 4 last night, which means No. 4 was the thief; if you killed No. 11 last night, then it means No. 4 was the constable. Because No. 4 was clearly killed last night, but I saved him."

  Pursing his lips in thought for a moment, An Yi's suspended heart finally put down.

  Combined with what Lao Lao said, An Yi has confirmed that the team of 4 Mink Scarf Men is very likely to be the Yamen.

  "Come out, number seven. Number four is a bailiff. I'm a sniper, and last night I shot at number eleven." After thinking for a moment, An Yi feared that someone might not understand the complexity of the situation, so he carefully chose his words to explain: "Number fifteen is a doctor, and he stitched up number four last night, but there's no sign of stitches on number four's head. This means that number four was also killed last night, but was revived by number fifteen, the doctor."

  "In other words, excluding the doctor's injection on the 15th, both No. 4 and No. 11 were actually killed last night. In this case, No. 11 was killed by me, so the reason why No. 4 was killed last night can only be that he was killed by a thief. From this situation, it is very likely that No. 4's team is the yamen... Of course..." An Yi raised an eyebrow: "Of course, it is not ruled out that No. 4 is a thief, but the possibility that he committed suicide last night and happened to be saved by the doctor is just...".

  "It's just that the possibility is too low, everyone should be clear. So, looking at the current situation, we can only acknowledge that team number four is indeed the thief. If... if... An Yi sighed: "If team number four really are thieves and can even gamble with their own psychology to the point of self-inflicted injuries three times in a row, then... there's nothing more to say."

  ＄＄

  "I knew it, team 4 is definitely the yamen, I've been deceiving them all along. If they were thieves, they would have deceived me to death." The cheap T-shirt man No. 3 'licked' his face, with a tone full of complacency.

  "I told you, I thought team 4 was the undercover cop from the start, but I couldn't be too sure, so I kept testing them." The cheap T-shirt man, No. 3, became more and more pleased with himself: "If they were fake cops, they would have been killed by me long ago. So when I said earlier that they had issued incorrect ID cards and didn't commit suicide out of guilt, it was certain that they were the undercover cop. From then on, I was 100% sure they were the undercover cop."

  "Besides..." Number 3 cheap T-shirt man's mouth opened and closed with a loud smack, showing off his various insights.

  It seems that the victory of the camp is inseparable from his wise and martial prowess...

  ＄＄

  "Haha, haha, haha." The No. 4 raccoon fur scarf man sneered with a "heh heh" that wasn't quite a laugh: "I've seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as you."

  No. 4 Mink Woolen Collar Man said, while intentionally or unintentionally glancing in the direction of No. 3 Cheap Sweater Man in the dark. This subtle action undoubtedly represented the target he was referring to.

  "It's all right, no harm done. The doctor wasn't deceived, I told you so, how could someone with a special identity token be swayed by such a small 'flower'?" Although the 4th fluffy scarf man said this, his face still had a lingering pale complexion, which undoubtedly betrayed his previous despair and anxiety.

  Have to say, the thief's last move was indeed quite 'cunning' and 'ruthless'. After all, it was only two or three minutes at night, if the doctor had reacted a bit slower, it could have been...

  Even if the thief uses this trick again, it's possible that they might still be able to deceive people.

  For example... No. 8 coffee-colored jacket man committed suicide without fear of crime, then recognized a special one, didn't recognize it, and strongly demanded that the young man in the No. 7 leather jacket come out first.

  Reported to be checked and killed, the man in the 8th coffee-colored jacket was identified as a sniper. He strongly demanded that the young man in the 7th leather jacket come out, and if he acted a bit like him, it would be considered not bad, but at least the effect should be better.

  Maybe, if I just bend the rules a bit more, the doctor will hesitate for a moment! After all, the key to this case is still whether the doctor gives the 4th raccoon fur scarf man an injection or not.

  So the 8th coffee-colored jacket man recognized a sniper, two special ones. As a sniper, An Yi was easy to spot, but even if he was discovered by An Yi, what could he do? After all, the doctor hesitated for a moment last night and didn't give the 4th ermine-collared man an injection...

  Thinking of this, a chill ran down An Yi's spine.

  It's okay...

  ＄＄

  The woman in the No. 5 evening dress seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared on her cheeks.

  She didn't boast about her 'foresight', the woman in the evening dress No. 5 tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, not hiding the tone of celebration and self-admonishment in her words: "I still thought that team No. 4 was a group of thieves, even before the doctor and the sniper spoke up, I still thought they were thieves, after all, No. 8 had committed suicide, plus the fallen No. 11."

  "It's okay......" The woman in the evening dress No. 5 let out a sigh of relief again: "Fortunately, the doctor was cautious enough and reacted quickly. If it were me, I would have been deceived for sure."

  ＄＄

  "What's going on here? Team 4 is obviously a bunch of officials." The young man in the autumn outfit with 'hairy' clothes glanced at his mouth.

  "Think about it, No. 5," said the young man in a 'fur' coat, "the team that was continuously killed by knives for two rounds was Team No. 4. Do thieves have the guts to do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of being exposed after their ID cards are revealed? Wouldn't that mean their team would be directly eliminated? How lucky can they get?"

  "Moreover, in the past three days, there were only three inspections by the yamen team, and what about Team No. 2? Apart from the first day's inspection and the third day's inspection, they actually only issued one inspection order on the second day, which means they only dared to 'cheat' once!" The young man in the autumn outfit with a 'mysterious' air analyzed the thieves' thought process with a serious expression.

  "And besides, their third-day report of the kill was too hasty. Because everyone in front agreed that the doctor went to give No. 4 an injection at night, so the officer could have lived for at least one more day. They had already investigated for three days, and next, it would be easy for the officer to find something unusual, or the thief would find it difficult to 'mix' past, so they were forced to report a kill on their own companion."

  The young man in the autumn outfit with a "fluffy" sweater nodded slightly, finally managing to express his core idea: "It's very easy to see that No. 4 is an officer, I figured it out at last glance, if I were the doctor, I would definitely give No. 4 an injection too!"

  ＄＄

  "Hold on to the ticket, I beg of you!" The young man in the leather jacket gritted his teeth: "I'm the last thief, I don't have the right to surrender and commit suicide, or else I would have done so long ago!"

  "Hurry up and get me out of here, I'm afraid that if I listen to this any longer, even my substitute won't be able to withstand it. It's really fucking disgusting..." The young man in the No. 7 windbreaker said with a sarcastic expression.

  ＄＄

  "Vote for No. 7." The girl with the deer antlers hair clip, No. 9, pouted: "Actually, I don't want to listen anymore either. So annoying. So disgusting. So... shameless."

  "I didn't know, I really thought it was won by some thick-skinned people." The No. 9 deer antler hair clip 'girl' suddenly opened her mouth and made a exaggerated vomiting gesture.
