Chapter Forty-Four: The Thief First Raises Six

  "Are you looking for No. 2 and No. 11?" The bonfire went out, night fell, and the eighth Tang Old Duck Mi Old Mouse comforted the girl to look in the direction where An Yi was.

  After a moment of contemplation, An Yi shook his head: "It's better not to investigate those two, it won't make much sense."

  Uncle No. 3 in a Zhongshan suit remained silent all the time, and even No. 7, the little girl with a fake voice, was unusually quiet and didn't interrupt.

  "What's that?" No. 8 Tang Old Duck Mi Old Mouse sweater girl opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitated, and finally did not refute An Yi's opinion, only uncertainly asked a sentence.

  An Yi is after all the one who brought in Tang Laoyan, Mi Laoshu and the female team member with the No. 8 jersey. The uncle wearing the Zhongshan suit with the No. 3 jersey can be questioned, and the little girl with the fake voice with the No. 7 jersey cannot be trusted, but she must give An Yi a certain degree of support.

  "Sixth, Fifteenth, flip one. If it's a civilian, maybe we can use them as a shield. If it really is a civilian..." An Yi furrowed his brow and thought for a moment: "Second, Fifth, Tenth, Eleventh, these four chaotic cards, listen to the speaker's smash."

  "What if we catch a thief?"

  "If we catch the thief...” An Yi fell silent for a moment, then changed his tone: “I think there are at most two thieves on the scene.”

  "Only two thieves at most?" The No. 3 uncle in a mountainous outfit who had been silent all along curiously inserted a sentence.

  "In the eyes of the thief, there are at most two constables on the scene. In the case where No. 9 is clearly a killer, if there are three thieves in the upper circle, the thief must come out to confirm their identity. But the thief didn't do that. That means one of No. 1 and No. 12 must be a thief who has been eliminated." An Yi pondered for a moment: "Of course, this is just my speculation, I'm not entirely sure. But the possibility... is very high!"

  "In the first and twelfth, there should be at least one thief eliminated; in the second and eleventh, there should also be at least one thief. That is to say, among the remaining fifth, sixth, tenth, and fifteenth, there can only be one thief left." An Yi licked his slightly dry lips: "So..."

  "First, check rooms six and fifteen. If you find the thief, just shout out. If not, then break into rooms two, five, ten, and eleven. Just...” An Yi let out a light sigh: “Just hope eight doesn't get killed before that.”

  "It shouldn't be, right......" No. 8 Tangled Duck and Mickey Mouse sweaters girl looked surprised and uncertain.

  "I'm fine even if I get killed, but I'm worried you'll get killed." An Yi sighed again: "There must be a thief among the second and eleventh numbers. If I get killed, those two will definitely be brought down to accompany me in death. But if you get killed..."

  "Then I'll check No. 6?" The eighth Tang Old Duck Mi Old Mouse T-shirt girl hesitated for a moment, and then asked again.

  "It's all right." An Yi nodded slightly, seeming a bit distracted.

  I don't know why, but An Yi felt like he had overlooked something.

  Eyes quietly watching No. 8 Tangled Duck Mi Old Mouse sweater girl's arm lightly lifted, An Yi's eyes suddenly changed: "Wait a minute!"

  An Yi's sudden words made No. 8 Tang Old Duck and Mi Old Mouse stunned for a moment.

  At the same time, a mirror appeared in the dark above the bonfire, and the light fell on the location of the gray scarf youth No. 6.

  The figure of the young man in gray scarf No. 6 was hidden in the darkness, and nothing could be seen at all, but under the illumination of the light column, the number 6 slowly changed and finally fixed into a 'min' character.

  Staring blankly at all of this, An Yi opened his mouth, and finally let out a bitter laugh: "It's over."

  "What's wrong?" No. 8 Tangled Duck asked, Mi Mouse and the girl in the sweat suit stared at An Yi with a surprised face.

  "Check number six, it's very likely that they will be killed together." An Yi smiled bitterly again.

  "How is this possible!" The normally quiet No. 7 fake little girl suddenly shouted out loud.

  "Before Number Six spoke, Number Five asked Number Two to come out and said that Number Two couldn't come out! Whether or not Number Two is a thief, Number Six will likely be killed!" An Yi briefly explained: "If Number Two is a civilian, the thief will think that Number Six has checked on Number Two and will think that Number Six is an official, so they'll kill him; if Number Two is a thief, to survive and raise her own status, she'll also kill Number Six, saying that Number Six is an official who protected her!"

  "This......" No. 8 Tangled Duck Mouse Girl opened her small mouth and was stunned for a moment, her face changed: "It seems to be the case! It's all, it's all my fault..."

  An Yi sighed, comforted the 8th Tang old duck and Mi old mouse, and consoled the girl: "How can you blame yourself? It's also my fault for reacting slowly. I just figured it out. Never mind, don't think about it anymore. Maybe No. 6 wasn't stabbed after all..."

  An Yi comforted the 8-year-old girl with Tang Old Duck and Mickey Mouse, but her face was filled with hidden gloom.

  The young man in grey scarf No. 6 is a civilian, so the possibility of being stabbed is too high...

  Suddenly, An Yi thought of something even more important.

  If the gray scarf youth No. 6 was really stabbed, then the No. 8 Donald Duck Mickey Mouse sweater girl would be the first to speak in order, and she should prepare ahead of time. But...

  An Yi was just about to open his mouth when the brief darkness suddenly receded!

  In the darkness, An Yi silently stared at the ignited bonfire... staring at the figure revealed by the gray scarf of No. 6 youth.

  A fiery red iron wire mesh suddenly fell from above and landed on the body of a young man wearing a gray scarf.

  The scorching iron wire mesh came into contact with the 6th grey scarf youth's clothes, instantly igniting flames, while the 6th grey scarf youth's face, which was not covered by clothing...

  The countless hollow parts of the iron wire mesh stuck to the face of the 6th gray scarf youth, making a sizzling sound, and before the 6th gray scarf youth was burned by the flames, it had already scalded the skin on his face.

  $$ His gaze shifted, An Yi's eyes fixed intently on the direction where the 8th Tang Laoyan Mi Laoshu body warmer girl was in the darkness.

  The situation is a bit rushed, and can only rely on the personal emergency measures of No. 8 Tangled Duck Mi Old Mouse Girl.

  At the moment when the gray scarf youth No. 6 fell to the ground, the figure of No. 8 Tangled Duck Mickey Mouse sweater girl emerged from the darkness.

  It was probably during the time when the gray scarf youth No. 6 died that the emotions of the girl in the No. 8 Donald Duck Mickey Mouse sweater had already been collected and cleaned up. However... The words spoken by the girl in the No. 8 Donald Duck Mickey Mouse sweater immediately after, however, made An Yi slightly stunned for a moment.

  "Last night, the tenth one was a thief." The eighth Tang old duck and Mi old mouse were smiling at the girl in a warm sweater, without any signs of panic: "Give a clear ID to No. 16, you can think that I and No. 16 are mutual guarantors, or you can think that No. 16 is my real ID."

  An Yi furrowed his brow and thought for a moment.

  Duck No. 8 Tang and Mouse Mi said that the girl's words were not particularly appropriate, but under the pressure of thinking of a solution at the moment, she had already spoken out and could only continue to make do with it.

  If the 10th desert camouflage jacket youth is indeed a thief, then the 8th Donald Duck Mickey Mouse sweater girl coming over like this can be considered a win at gambling.

  If No. 10 Desert Camouflage Jacket Youth isn't a thief, then No. 8 Donald Duck Mickey Mouse Sweater Girl comes over and harmoniously sends No. 10 Desert Camouflage Jacket Youth out of the game, then it's unlikely that the thief will stab her at night.

  But...

  "What are you going to use to report me for execution?" The young man in the desert camouflage jacket, No. 10, remained calm and composed, his tone not showing any excitement despite being reported by No. 8, Tang Old Duck Mi Old Mouse, a girl in a sweat suit.

  10th Desert Camouflage Jacket Youth sucked on a lollipop and paused for a moment: "No. 1 and No. 12 are out, this round obviously needs to get rid of either No. 2 or No. 11, especially No. 2 should be eliminated first! Is the 8th Jumping Madman going to protect No. 2?"

  "Number 8, you jumped out, but this round won't let you out, it's Number 2 who will be out, Number 2 is our last night's target." The young man in the desert camouflage jacket with the number 10 suddenly took out the lollipop from his mouth: "I'm really a deputy officer, the first round was me and Number 7 making moves to identify each other."

  "Let me make it clear to you, No. 8, No. 16 and I are on the same side, didn't you issue him a people's certificate? Take a look at whether he stands with you or with me?" The young man in desert camouflage jacket finally added another ambiguous sentence.

  "Hmm... what's going on here?" The man in the 11th raccoon fur coat and sunglasses looked stunned.

  "Number eight got up to report number ten's investigation, except for one number ten investigation, no one else reported, only said that number sixteen might be his colleague or his ID card, it felt like he was verifying his identity." Number eleven, a man in a sable coat and sunglasses, fiddled with his collar: "But..."

  "But the tenth person is also not very reliable, he was pointed out by the seventh person in the first round. Now that he's standing up to be the referee, I don't believe it either. And I feel like the tenth person is also suspicious of the sixteenth person's identity." The man in the sable coat and sunglasses thought for a moment: "I'm not clear about the situation, since both of them are being nice to the sixteenth person, let's just listen to what the sixteenth person has to say."

  $$The long-haired girl with the number 14 pouted and furrowed her brow: "It feels really weird. Number 4 is a clear civilian ID, but you all say it's actually an identity of number 16, why not number 4?"

  "I think... No. 8 and No. 10 didn't do well in their speeches!" The long-haired girl, No. 14, thought for a moment: "But personally, I think that between the two of them, No. 10 is more like a yamen runner, although neither of them is very trustworthy."

  The long-haired girl No. 14 paused for a moment: "Because if No. 10 is a thief, he doesn't need to get up and report another No. 2 to kill, isn't that pulling hatred? If No. 10 is a thief, he can directly go against No. 8."

  "Fourteen and Ten are just two thieves." The girl with the light yellow suspender backpack tilted her head in thought.

  "No. 8 rose to explode No. 10, but No. 10 rose to report No. 2 and was killed, and also concealed the identity of No. 16. Was it necessary for No. 16 to conceal his identity? No. 16 is a civilian! No. 16 is in the same situation as No. 10, No. 10 was abandoned by No. 7, while No. 16 was abandoned by himself after chatting with No. 7, but before that, No. 16 had been checked and was a civilian, whereas No. 10 had never been checked." The girl in the light yellow suspender vest chattered on.

  "This is the first round, and no one has been chatting with 16 for a long time. The iron-clad evidence is that the official has checked the card! If 8 dares to be the first to give 16 an ID card, then 8 must be a real official, and 10 must be a real killer! Are you really dizzy or pretending to be dizzy? At this time, you're still helping 10 vote, aren't you and 10 just two thieves?" The light yellow suspender vest girl laughed lightly: "This round is all voting for 10, and next round 14 will follow suit."

  $$As soon as the figure emerged from the darkness, An Yi coughed lightly: "Eight and Ten, send me their ID cards, got it. But... tear them all up. Tear up ID cards to frame the officials, Eleven will investigate and kill, Eleven votes out."
