Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Fragrance

"Are you sleepy? Xiao Piao." "……Won't." Gao Qian asked like this, but Senior Piaoba, who was dignified and fell into silence, didn't look at her, but just shook his head. "If you're sleepy, go to sleep! I've been tired all day today, so don't force yourself to reason with me." "No! Yes, I'm exhausted, but I don't want to sleep, I'm just thinking." "What are you thinking about?" "Hey, hey, Gao Qian, you're the one who lit the fire! I'm thinking, it's not for cheating or taking photos, so what is the purpose of visiting this villa?"

At first, the senior was afraid of Gao Qian who repeatedly established and overturned the hypothesis, but before he knew it, even he himself was completely immersed in this puzzle.Although he still kept drinking beer, he frowned from time to time and buried himself in deep thought. "My family and outsiders visited this villa together, and my family kept outsiders on the first floor in order to prevent outsiders from discovering that there was a refrigerator with beer hidden in the room on the second floor until the purpose of the visit was achieved-this part we have already done. If it’s sorted out, there shouldn’t be a big problem. The question is what is the purpose of the visit? In other words, what can you do in this empty villa? Also, why can’t outsiders be informed of the existence of beer?”

"It suddenly occurred to me," Senior Piao Pao's expression was so serious and tragic that I couldn't help feeling pity, so I said, "Is the purpose of the visit something that can be resolved in a short time?" "short time?" "First of all, as we have mentioned many times, this house is empty; because it is empty, it is not suitable for a long stay. Since both my family and outsiders visit here on the premise of this fact, then Their purpose must be something that can be accomplished in a short period of time." "Ok." "Furthermore, there is the issue of beer. My family is confident that they can hide from outsiders during their visits. It can be seen that the purpose of the visit must be achieved in a short period of time; otherwise, if they stay for a long time, such as staying overnight, there is no guarantee that he will not Suddenly came up with the idea of ​​exploring on the second floor."

"That makes sense. But, Carpenter, if that's the case, how does this bed account for it?" "I don't know about that. Maybe it has nothing to do with the purpose of the visit!" "That's what I said, but a bed here seems to have some other meaning, which makes people have to speculate. I also know that maybe it doesn't matter at all, but it's hard to convince myself now!" My head was spinning from the fasting drink.Gao Qian and Xiaotu are still quite restrained, and they haven't drunk too much; but Senior Piaobao and I have always lived a life of drunkenness, how can we have a sense of proportion?As soon as he felt that there was something missing in his mouth and hands, he immediately reached out to take the wine again.

Empty cans lay on the bare floor like soldiers killed in battle; twenty-one cans were counted.However, including myself, no one has figured out who drank a few cans for a long time; the number twenty-one is also the temporary result of the count just now, and now empty cans are still being 'made'. The frightening thing is that Senior Piaopao actually replenished the unrefrigerated beer in the carton to the empty space in the refrigerator regularly.How much is he going to drink?Maybe he planned to drink all the twenty-four cans in this box, and the ninety-six cans (counted just now) in four boxes before going back.

This sounds exaggerated, but it is not impossible to apply it to Senior Piao.After all, he has a precedent, it seems that it is better to be mentally prepared. well!I, who muttered on my lips, but followed me to the end, also had a big problem. "I suddenly thought of a hypothesis," I snapped open the can of beer again despite my scruples, which was really nerve-wracking. "I don't know if it's feasible?" "What? Hurry up if you have a hypothesis, and don't keep it close." "My idea is based on the premise that the purpose of the visit is related to the bed."

"Oh! Great! Very positive!" positive?What is a positive assumption?Perhaps it refers to the hypothesis obtained by connecting the phenomena in front of you regardless of the three sevens and twenty-ones! "Perhaps the goal that can be achieved in a short time is not the bed itself, but the person who sleeps on the bed." "Huh?" The senior opened the beer, and the foam splashed on his face, making him frown. "What? Carpenter, what are you talking about? The person sleeping on the bed? What do you mean?" "I mean, someone was sleeping in the bed. Of course, the bed was empty when we came, and there was no sign of it being used, so the person hadn't come to the villa to sleep."

"Wait a minute, come to this villa to sleep? Does this sentence mean it literally? It doesn't mean men and women sleep together, but to supplement sleep?" "Yes, because I think there should be only one person." "I can't do anything by myself, so I can only fall asleep." "That person didn't fall asleep because he had nothing to do. The senior made such a difficult joke again." "Idiot, what you are saying is hard to understand! Even if not, who would purposely come to this deep mountain and sleep in an empty villa with no furniture? What's the point?"

"My statement seems inappropriate. That person did not come here to sleep voluntarily, but was forced to sleep before coming here—" "Forced to sleep?" Senior Piaopao frowned and scratched his head, as if regretting that he didn't bring a towel to take a bath. "What do you mean? Being forced to sleep means being given sleeping pills?" "Yes, that's right." "Sounds rather suspenseful." "Then they were moved to this villa." "Being moved here...?" "Ah, I understand!" The drowsy bunny hugging the pillow suddenly opened his eyes wide. "It's a child, right? Carpenter."

"Huh? Kid?" "Look," Xiaotu showed the pillow she was holding in her arms to the surprised senior. "There are cartoon animals printed on it, right? The bed sheet is the same. Because this bed is for a child, I chose this cartoon peripheral product." "There are also people who are old and still bury their heads in Disney peripheral products!" It seems that there are such people around the seniors.And not very pleasant; I saw him snorting hard. "Forget it, assuming this bed is for a child, why was that child unconscious and sent here?" "Simply put, it's kidnapping!"

"Tie..." Such a dangerous word came from Xiaotu's leisurely tone, which surprised the senior; he was lying lazily on the ground, but now he jumped up suddenly like a mouse that stepped on a mousetrap. "Kidnapping?" "That is to say..." Gao Qian let go of his feet, stretched forward, folded his arms and tilted his head and said, "The kidnapper used this villa to deliver meat tickets—Jiang Zai, is this your opinion?" "It can be said that the gangsters kidnapped children, extorted ransom, and then used this newly completed and unused villa as a place to deliver meat tickets. Of course, this villa does not belong to the criminals, it is a third party that has nothing to do with this case. Or so. The gangster placed the child on the bed he prepared in advance, and contacted the parents: "Your child is in a villa somewhere on the R Plateau. "The parents were very nervous and asked the owner of the villa to help; after they came here together, they found the sleeping child." "But, how do you explain beer?" Xiaotu looked at the cartoon animal on the pillow and me, as if trying to find something in common. "If you want to substitute it into the formula just now, the family member is the owner of the villa who is asked to assist, and the outsider is the parent whose child was kidnapped—right?" "Yes, that's right." "Then why doesn't the owner of the villa want the children's parents to discover the existence of beer? What's the reason? Also, what are these beers used for?" "That's the problem. If the theory of delivery of meat tickets is adopted, the problem of beer will become more complicated; because the owner of the villa will never move the refrigerator to the second floor in advance." "Huh? Why? Why? Maybe he had already hidden the refrigerator before the parents who accompanied the child! Maybe he has a reason for not wanting to be seen." "This is impossible. If the parents found the child here under the instructions of the gangsters, the police will definitely investigate thoroughly whether there are any items left by the gangsters in this villa." "Ah... that's right!" "Once the refrigerator containing beer is found by the police, the news will definitely reach the children's parents. Therefore, if the owner sends someone to hide it in advance, it should not be moved to the second floor, but will be moved to another place. This means—— —” "This represents?" "The refrigerator containing beer was placed in the closet of this room from the beginning, and it was not just transferred here suddenly. At least logically, it is obviously not the parents of the child who are worried about the owner. Of course, even if the two things have nothing to do, the refrigerator It’s still being deliberately hidden, it’s unmistakable.” "You mean... hiding the refrigerator for another reason, or should I say that there is someone else to worry about?" "Yes. If this is the case, it means that these beers have nothing to do with the kidnapping case; the owner of the villa was involved in an emergency, and the beer that was painstakingly hidden was forced to be exposed, which can be said to be a disaster for Chi Yu." "No, wait a minute, not necessarily." Senior Piaopao took out a new wine glass from the freezer, as if intending to borrow a cold new wine glass to cheer up. "The bed has not been used, which means that the kidnapper has not brought the child here; since he has not brought the child, naturally he has not contacted the child's parents, so the owner of the villa does not know what his villa will be used for. If he knew , the owner of the villa can send someone to move the refrigerator out before accompanying the parents." "Yes, that's right. But for us, the situation is the same! Because the refrigerator is now in this room, even if the owner of the villa hid it here out of concern for someone, the reason has nothing to do with the kidnapping." "What are you doing! Hey, you've talked so much, and the conclusion is that the bed has nothing to do with beer?" "That's right! So I only said at the beginning that the purpose of visiting the villa might be related to the bed, but I didn't say that it was related to both the bed and the beer." "No, this won't work! Craftsman." "no?" "Not positive at all!" well!It seems that the so-called positive hypothesis of Senior Piaojia refers to the hypothesis born from the connection of all phenomena. "But, in fact, it may indeed be two different things!" "No, no! You are still so young, how can you shrink back and be so negative!" What did being young and cringe have to do with this? "No way, as your senior in school year and life, let me revise this assumption for you to be more positive and full of youthful vitality!" "No need." "Oh, you're welcome!" "I'm not being polite to you." "Just accept other people's kindness obediently! Well, Jiang Zai said that this villa did not belong to the kidnappers. This should be true, because no one would be so stupid as to choose their own villa as the place to hand over the meat ticket. But, you How can it be concluded that the villa is owned by a third party that has nothing to do with this case?" "What's the meaning?" "Maybe it's the villa of Roupiao's parents! The gangster knowingly committed the crime and appointed this place to deliver Roupiao—maybe it's a little bold, but it's not impossible." "Wait a minute, senior. According to you, the only people who come here to pick up the children are the parents? But in this way, the formula of visiting the villa together by the family and outsiders cannot be applied—" "What does it matter? This formula is just for convenient reasoning. Depending on the circumstances of the case, it must be discarded when it is time to discard it." "I understand this, but how do you explain the key beer? According to the senior, those who secretly prepare and hide the beer are the parents of the child, right? But in this way, no matter what the reason is, it still has nothing to do with the kidnapping case." It has nothing to do with it!" "Hmm..." The senior, who realized that he had dug his own grave, gulped down a few sips of beer, laughed loudly, and fooled around. "This, this, um, it's just...it's not the parents who prepared the beer, but the kidnappers...it's not right." He temporarily corrected the route, but immediately vetoed it himself. "No, in this way we have to discuss why the kidnappers prepared beer and hid it. They wouldn't give it to children!" "Since we know that this villa belongs to the victim and will be carefully investigated by the police, how could the gangster leave items here? So, whether it is the child's parents or an unrelated third person, the refrigerator must have been placed by the owner of the villa; So the conclusion remains the same, that there is absolutely no connection between the bed - that is, the kidnapping - and the beer." "No, no! Craftsman." The senior, who looked like an extra-large wine barrel, seemed drunk, and repeated the same words of dissatisfaction as before. "Not positive at all!" "No matter how dissatisfied you are, if this is the truth, there is nothing you can do!" "yes?" Gao Qian folded his arms and looked at me, with a U-shaped smile on his lips.I knew from past experience that her seldom innocent smile was usually a bad omen, so I couldn't help but feel uneasy. "……what?" "Unfortunately, I don't think it's true—of course, I mean Jiang Zai's assumption." "Is there anything irrational?" "I'm ashamed to ask, it's everywhere! With all due respect, your assumption is completely untenable." "Completely?" Seeing her being so decisive, I couldn't help getting angry. "Really? Is it that bad? I'm not boasting, I think it's not bad!" "The only thing that's not bad is 'the purpose of the visit is to the person who sleeps on the bed'. The rest are all loopholes. Really, thanks to my anticipation, it's not as exciting as last time." "Is it that serious? Is the loophole that big?" "It's understandable that the gangsters use the villa to deliver meat tickets. Let me first declare that it doesn't matter whether the owner of the villa is a child's parent or an unrelated third person; the problem is-the gangster only needs to match the hostage temperament with the villa. You need to prepare a bed? Am I right? No matter what kind of house it is, just leave people behind! Why bother?" "No, maybe the gangster thinks such a child is too pitiful..." "Oh, what a benevolent kidnapper!" Gao Qian sighed pretendingly, and stroked my head with pity. "Then why not choose a place with a bed in the first place?" "That's because after I came to this villa, I realized that there was no bed..." "Wait, wait, don't rush yourself. If he comes here and finds out that there is no bed, just change the location! There is no need to go back to the city to buy a bed." After listening to her analysis, I realized my negligence and was speechless.Look how much idiot I was babbling out just now, like an idiot!My face was literally on fire. Seeing the change in my expression, Gao Qian showed a wicked and cruel smile.Of course, she will not let me go, instead she will not hesitate to take advantage of the victory and give me a fatal blow. "Besides, the idea of ​​preparing a new bed is not in the mind of the kidnapper... No, it is in the hearts of all criminals. The same is true for sheets and pillows. Buying or dispatching these things is equivalent to providing the police with their own footprints and leaving important evidence." "I have nothing to say." This was no longer a fix, but a complete failure, so I raised the white flag and surrendered. "It is indeed as you said, I admit defeat." "This riddle is too difficult! If I can't solve it, I won't be able to sleep." Although Senior Piao Pao sighed, seeing me being refuted by Gao Qian, he had a look of venting his anger. It seems that he is holding a grudge because Gao Qian touched my head just now.For me, regardless of whether Gao Qian has malicious intentions or not, he always puts me on the same path. I secretly complain that I should, and there is absolutely no reason to be envied by others; !good!I also want to be patted by Gao Qian! The 'habit' of the past four days on the R plateau seems to be extended for a while, which really adds to my troubles.After all, it was all Xiaotu's fault, telling the story of that time caused such a big misunderstanding to Senior Piaopao. "It sounds good, you didn't intend to go to sleep." Gao Qian took a sip from the beer glass that had been left on the shelf for a long time; the wine turned off the ice, and the flavor deteriorated, making her frown. "With Xiao Piao's personality, he must be willing to go home after drinking all the beer here?" "Oh! Ha, ha ha ha ha! How do you know?" What?I thought it was possible, but he really has this plan.Although he has always been like this, he is still a headache, a man who was born to drink. well!In fact, I am half-assed, and I can't say anything about others. "I don't care how much you drink—" Gao Qian seemed to see through our thoughts, and exchanged glances at the senior and me. "Remember to keep the wine money." I thought Gao Qian was going to warn us not to drink too much as usual, but this time she didn't say her harsh advice.Perhaps Gao Qian was even more tired than he looked. "I know!" Senior Piaopao seemed to interpret Gao Qian's attitude as 'you can drink as much as you want as long as you pay', looking quite happy. "Then please take care of me!" "Take care of what?" "Share the wine money!" "Stop joking." Gao Qian's eyes widened.She seemed overwhelmed with fatigue and was really angry. "I only pay for what I drink!" "Gao Qian, let's talk about it, do you really remember how many cans you drank?" "Don't compare me with you, I'm still sober and can count clearly." "Really? You are really free!" "Say what you want." "But, but, regardless of whether it's kidnapping or not, I think it should be true that 'the target is the person who sleeps in the bed'." Xiaotu said in a mediating tone, she rarely brought back the topic so forcefully; upon closer inspection, she was quietly looking at me with pity, just like a nun who found a sick person in front of a monastery. It seems that I showed a gloomy expression unconsciously, which made Xiaotu mistakenly think that I was depressed by Gao Qian's rebuttal; in fact, when I showed a lifeless expression, it was often the result of a battle with the surging drunkenness. Time. "I think the setting of 'moving here while someone is asleep' is quite reasonable, but it's not a criminal like kidnapping, but a simpler situation." "More simple?" Gao Qian leaned out towards Xiaotu; although she was tired, she was still interested in discussing the new setup. "Which situation?" "A more joyful situation. In fact, it is not a rough method such as drugging to stupor, but moving to this place together while people are asleep." "and then?" "Think about it, if someone is secretly moved to this place while he is asleep, how will he react when he wakes up and looks around?" Xiaotu looked around the three of them, and asked after a while: "—Okay , what's the reaction?" "Well..." Gao Qian had a premonition that this would be a powerful hypothesis, his eyes sparkling. "It should be a shock! When you wake up and find yourself in an empty room without furniture, you will definitely wonder if you are still dreaming." "Yes, yes, that's it. Simply put, this is the purpose. Empty the room, leaving only a single bed lying like an island in the South China Sea, all for this purpose." "For a prank?" Senior Piao Pao patted his knee. "That person's bad friends worked together to create this wonderful stage and carefully planned this farce?" "Yes. The person who planned this prank asked the owner of the villa for help, or he was the owner himself; in short, he first removed all the furniture in the villa, and then wiped the floor and walls spotless to add to the sense of unreality; Finally, prepare a single bed for the victim to sleep in, and everything will be ready." "What about the beer?" "Of course it's time to drink when the prank is successful! Isn't this kind of scene often seen on television programs? When the victim is at a loss, the prank group hiding aside appears together, and then both sides laugh, The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious, and a beer was raised to cheers." "That's why you hid the refrigerator in the closet on the second floor in case it was found?" "Yes. And there are thirteen reasons for beer mugs. It shouldn't be difficult to guess, right? One victim, twelve perpetrators and helpers, thirteen in total." "So that's how it is. If you want to clear out all the furniture in the house, there must be at least ten people!" "Oh, so that's the case!" This hypothesis is so convincing that it must be the truth, which really makes me admire. "So that's what happened!" "Is it reasonable?" "Reasonable, reasonable!" I also became excited with Xiaotu. "It's perfect, it's perfect!" "Right? Carpenter thinks so too, right?" "I can't do it!" Gao Qian's originally shining eyes were covered with a layer of mist like cold beer glasses in the freezer. "It's not perfect!" "Huh? Why? Gao Qian." The triumphant little rabbit was suddenly discouraged, barely hearing a snort. "Why? Why? Why not?" "The setting of the whole person is not a problem in itself. Compared with the divergent opinions just now, it should be the most realistic assumption." "That's good!" "The problem is the refrigerator." "refrigerator?" "The idea of ​​having a beer and celebrating after the prank is successful is also a good one, one of the best. Of all the scenarios, this is the one that explains the purpose of the beer most clearly." "Right? Since it's so outstanding and clear, what's wrong with it?" "It's just that celebratory beer shouldn't be here." "why?" "If the victim finds out before the celebration, wouldn't it be a waste of success? It's too disappointing." "What are you talking about? Gao Qian, didn't I say it? I just hid it because I didn't want to be discovered..." "No. Other situations are fine. If Xiaotu's assumption is adopted, it can't be hidden at all." "what?" "Think about it, what will the victim do when he wakes up on the bed that has turned into an isolated island in the South China Sea? It must be to confirm whether there is anyone else in the villa, right? Xiaotu, try to imagine that you are the victim; you Will you only visit the first floor, but not the second floor to see it? No way! You must have seen all the rooms, right? And I bet you will definitely open the wardrobes in all the rooms one by one and look inside Someone is hiding, right?" "Huh... um..." The little rabbit who was speechless looked at me and Senior Piaopao, as if asking for help; but I couldn't think of a good explanation for a while, and Senior Piaopao couldn't refute Gao Qian's argument, so he remained silent. "But...but, Gao Qian." Seeing that the men were unreliable, Xiaotu had no choice but to fight back boldly and independently. "That person may not open all the wardrobes to watch!" "Of course, depending on the personality of the victim, they may not open the closet one by one to confirm. However, the problem at this time lies in the psychology of the perpetrator. The perpetrator cannot be sure that the victim will not check the closet, so he will naturally be sacrificed when planning The premise is that the beer for the celebration must be hidden outside the villa.”
