Chapter 12 Chapter 11 Low Temperature Raw Filtration

"—Let's set the conditions first, and then discuss them one by one!" As the host, Gao Qian had regained his composure. "I hope to start the discussion on the premise that the owners are different. Because as Xiao Piao said, according to common sense, the same person will not build two villas in such close locations." "It's a different matter if one of them is going to be demolished in the near future, as Gao Qian assumed last night." Senior Piao Piao seemed to be planning to make beer with the power of beer, and the drinking rate was quite fast. "Okay, let's use this as the premise to discuss! When you encounter a bottleneck, just start over. After all, if you don't set conditions, you can't start at all."

Everyone seems to be going to put aside my question about the number of beers.That's right, although this is indeed a difference, but what does it mean if it's just a can?Besides, no one can guarantee that I count correctly. "The owners of the two villas are different, and it should be the respective owners who made the villas into that state; because according to common sense, it is difficult for outsiders to make the villas into that kind of virtue without telling the owner." "Well, that's true. The owner emptied the villa on his own - it should be OK to discuss based on this premise."

"Okay, the next thing is the key point. What is the owner's intention to turn the villa into a 'beer house'? Before discussing the intention, there is another condition that must be set-whether it is a unilateral imitation, or a mutual agreement. And do?" "If it's the former, we have to discuss not only the reason why one of them created the 'House of Beer', but also the reason why the other party imitated it." The little rabbit seemed to be venting her resentment about having no food last night, and she ate snacks big mouthfuls; with her hair tied up, she sipped water and wine, like a precocious junior high school student drinking, wafting an untidy cuteness atmosphere.

"The former seems very complicated! Hey, let's start with the more complicated ones?" "Okay! That's a unilateral imitation. What are the possible reasons or intentions?" "I have an old-fashioned method, we can try to replace imitating houses with imitating others!" "What's the meaning?" "Do you still have to ask? Suppose there are two people, A and B, and B imitates A from hairstyle to clothing; in this way, B is no longer B, but becomes A. As for the reason for B's doing this, it is hoped that the third party will mistakenly think that I am an A."

"That is to say," Senior Piao Pao seemed to think that this opinion was worthless, and caressed his chin casually. "The owner of the second son wants the third party to mistake his villa for the boss, or vice versa?" "Well, that's right." "I understand this truth, but now the object is a two-story villa! Unlike humans, who say 'disguise' is 'disguise', right? Besides, if a third party has already distinguished the two villas from the appearance The villa is different, even if the inside is made to look like it, it’s useless!” "So, if this assumption is to be established, there must be an additional condition, that is, the third chapter does not recognize the appearance of the villa. In other words, the third party is visiting the villa for the first time."

"Hey, hey, since it's the first time I've visited the villa, and I know that the villa is the 'House of Beer'? It's too far-fetched!" "It's not impossible! Maybe the third party knows only this, and the villa is located on a detour. Of course, he doesn't know the name of the owner. The third party knows that there is nothing in the house and there is beer in it." These two characteristics came to find the 'House of Beer', and the second child who learned about it—assuming he was imitating the second child—in order to confuse the third party, he added the same characteristics as the boss to his villa."

"Then why did the boss become 'House of Beer'?" "It should be related to the motive of the third party looking for the 'House of Beer'; I don't know the specifics." "There are too many things I don't know! Forget it, let's put aside the reasons for creating 'Beer House' and 'Replica' and the purpose of searching for Chapter 3! However, the purpose of Xiaotu's misidentification is a major flaw." "what?" "Think about it, if the third party finds the second child first, it will be very good; but who can predict which road the third party will drive into the detour? If he drives up from the national highway, he may misidentify; But if he drives down from the National Hotel, the chances of finding the boss first are much better."

"Will it? Since we know it's a roundabout route, of course we'll drive up the national road!" "That's not necessarily the case. Think about it. Anyway, you have to drive down the mountain on the way back. It's better to take the main road first, turn into a roundabout route, and go down the mountain slowly while searching along the road. The efficiency is much better." "That depends on the personality of the third party or the mood at the time!" "That's right, so it's a big gamble for the second child. The second child doesn't want a third party to discover the boss, right? In this case, it's better to take a safer approach than to 'disguise' your own villa to mislead the third party. means."

"Really? Like?" "For example, tampering with the third party's car to prevent him from going to 'R plateau'; or sneaking into the boss directly and hanging curtains on all the windows. A third party who consults poorly and sees the curtains from the outside may decide that it is not here; At least it's much safer than the negative approach of 'changing your own villa' and expecting the other party to admit their mistakes." "Safety is safety, but it's too intense, right? There's a feeling of unscrupulousness when it comes to touching cars and sneaking into other people's homes."

"'Disguise' for the villa, isn't it a means of choice?" "Hmm..." Little Rabbit seemed speechless to refute, dangling the chocolate bar in every possible way bored. "Then what is the reason for one of the parties to imitate the other? I can't find any other explanation." "So, I think..." Didn't Senior Floating want to constrict the blood vessels swollen by the large amount of beer, or did Xiaotu's chocolate bar stimulate his subconscious?I saw him take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "It's more appropriate to assume that the two parties meet at the same time."

"Then change the direction this time!" Senior Piao Pao reached for the lighter, but Gao Qian snatched it from the side. "If the two parties agree to meet, what is the reason?" "It should still be..." Senior Piaopao hesitated a little, took down the cigarette in his mouth and used it as chalk, and wrote in the air. "To mislead a third party." "Huh? What the hell!" Xiaotu rebounded violently. "Is it different from what I said?" "No, it's different. I mean kidnapping." "Huh? Kidnapped?" Xiaotu stopped waving his hands and feet, with a look of astonishment. "here we go again?" "What do you mean here again? What I want to say is completely different from what Jiang Zai said last night." He picked up the cigarette again, without lighting it, just sticking to his lower lip and shaking it. "Jiang Zai said that the villa is used as a place to deliver meat tickets, but I am different. The villa is not used to deliver meat tickets, but to imprison meat tickets." "Incarceration?" "Yes. By the way, the kidnapping I'm talking about is of course kidnapping for profit. It's not children who are kidnapped, but adults." "My lord? Huh? Why?" "I think so, of course I have my reasons." It seems that Senior Piaopao seemed to be confident about his assumption, and even forgot to take the lighter back from Gao Qian. "However, whether it is the eldest or the second child, it seems that it is not suitable for imprisonment!" On the other hand, Gao Qian was playing with the silver lighter, switching it on and off. "If you're locked up in that kind of place, you can escape at any time! Or did the gangster tie the meat ticket with a rope?" "How? This design only makes sense if the meat ticket can move freely." "free time?" "Of course, only in the villa." "The meaning is still the same! You can escape at any time." "That's why, when the criminals are imprisoned, they will tamper with it from the outside so that the meat tickets inside cannot come out." "How do you do it? Use boards to nail up the windows and the entrance?" "Well, that's pretty much what it means. In short, the meat ticket is imprisoned in the house, so I will continue to explain on the premise of this!" "Yes Yes!" "Assume that the place of imprisonment is the boss. When the meat ticket was driven to the boss, his eyes were blindfolded, because he didn't know which way the car was going, and he didn't know where he was being taken; in fact, this is where the organ is located." "Oh? Where is the agency?" Gao Qian seemed to have guessed how Senior Piaopao would set up the argument, and had already folded his arms, ready to fight. "and then?" "The person who was kidnapped was the adult, and the target of the blackmail was the company; during the negotiation, the meat ticket was locked up by the boss." "What about three meals?" "Of course, the gangsters will send food. After receiving the ransom, the gangsters secretly mixed sleeping pills into the food the day before the release of Roupiao, and waited for Roupiao to sleep soundly before moving him to the second child." "what?" "Listen to me!" Xiaotu writhed dissatisfiedly like a child whose toy had been robbed; Senior Piaopao comforted her with a wry smile when he saw this. "After Roupiao woke up, the gangster let him escape; but the gangster didn't let him go directly, but pretended to forget to lock it, so that Roupiao thought he escaped independently." "You don't have to say it." It seemed that the content was exactly as Gao Qian expected, and she sighed openly. "After Roupiao escapes safely, he will testify to the police that the place of detention is the second child, but he doesn't know that he is actually being locked up in the boss—is this the purpose of the gangsters?" "Yeah, and then—" "Okay, I already understand, so I don't need to say any more." "Why? The next step is the highlight!" "What's the big deal? It's full of loopholes!" "Oh? Where is the loophole?" "Xiao Piao, you forgot that the boss and the second child are completely different in appearance and layout, and it is impossible for the meat ticket to be mistaken." "Hahaha! I knew you would say that! It seems that Gao Qian also fell into the gangster's trap." Senior Piao Pao pointed a cigarette at Gao Qian's nose and laughed loudly. "Actually, not necessarily. Think about it, we have seen the two villas before we can tell the difference in design and layout; but how can you tell the difference if you just think that you are imprisoned in the same villa?" "Even..." Gao Qian blocked the cigarette impatiently. "Is there such a big gap in the pattern?" "This is exactly the method of gangsters! It is also the purpose of emptying the villa." "Skills? Oh, I'll have to pay attention." "In fact, people often judge the difference in the room by the furniture or utensils. Of course, if you observe carefully, you may be able to see the difference in layout; but if the room has only one feature—except for the single bed covered with the same sheet , nothing at all——you will fall into the illusion that you are in the same room. What's more, after the meat ticket was moved to the second child, it escaped after staying for less than half a day. Naturally, I never dreamed that the day before was actually in another room Inside a building." "I see. I can agree with this part, and even praise you for being sharp." "Right? Right? And a fridge and beer." "Listen to your tone, is this also the method used by gangsters?" "That's right. Roubao had nothing to do while he was imprisoned by the boss. Of course he would explore around the house and find the refrigerator and beer. And since he is an adult, he would of course go get a can or two to drink." "and then?" "The gangster used a telescope to observe the meat ticket and counted how many cans of beer he drank. The room was not covered by curtains, so the situation of the meat ticket was obvious at a glance. As I said yesterday, another purpose of emptying the house is to conceal the fact that the room has no curtains." unnatural condition." The same goes for the sneak shot last night, Senior Piao Pao seems to like binoculars very much. "Wait a minute, Xiao Piao, can't this be done?" "why?" "Didn't you just say that in order to prevent the meat from escaping, the gangsters sealed the windows with wooden boards? Under such a situation that is comparable to hurricane-proof measures, how do you peek inside the house from the outside?" "Yes!" Senior Piao Pao wanted to put the cigarette he was waving carelessly back to his lips, but accidentally dropped it; but he quickly regained his strength. "This, this, the gangsters don't use wooden boards, just use other methods to seal the doors and windows! Hmm." "Specifically, what method?" "That's right, anyway, there are many ways!" "You just talk a lot, how do I know?" "The gangsters are a specialized criminal group. There should be a way to solve such a trivial matter, right? Let's just treat it like this!" "Well, all right! And then?" "In short, the gangster counted the meat ticket and bought a few cans of beer with the boss, and told the accomplice of the second child at any time; that accomplice drank or threw away the beer according to the number of cans reduced by the boss, so that the two numbers coincided." "So the beer was there to strengthen Meat Ticket's testimony and make the police believe that the place of detention is the second child?" "That's right. Accompanied by the police, the prejudiced meat ticket returned to the second child. When he saw that the number of empty cans was exactly the same as the number of beers he drank, he couldn't imagine that he was unknowingly moved to other places. place of imprisonment." "In that case, why not put the refrigerator in the room with the bed?" "This is another trick of the gangsters. In order to prevent the police from discovering that the beer was used as a reinforcing material for misleading, the gangsters deliberately put the beer in the room on the second floor to create the illusion that it was not specially prepared for meat tickets. In this way, the police They would think that the gangsters wanted to drink these beers, but just neglected to remove them, and happened to be discovered and drunk by the meat ticket. Isn't it cunning?" "Are you finished?" "Huh? Well, it's over. How's it going? Not bad, is it?" "To describe it in one sentence: extremely stupid." "what?" "I said it's extremely stupid!" Gao Qian lit the lighter he was playing with in his hand, and pushed it towards Senior Piao Piao who had finished his cigarette again. "If you want to think normally, nicotine seems to be indispensable! Xiao Piao, are you serious? Are you kidding?" "Of course I'm serious!" Senior Drifting showed embarrassment because his proud assumption was denied, but at the same time he was smiling, with a rather complicated expression.Needless to say, Gao Qian lit his cigarette for the first time. "Why do you say that?" Of course, he understood that Gao Qian would not provide this kind of hotel girl service for no reason, and the smoke from his nostrils was also slightly uneasy. "Is there anything unreasonable?" "It's more than unreasonable! Think about what you said. We said it at the beginning. This assumption is based on the premise that the two owners meet to renovate the villa; if this is the case, the prison will be misled from the boss to the second. What good is it for gangsters? There is no benefit at all! The police can find out who the owner of the second child is right away, and then it will be over." "Ah! Wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll correct it, I'll correct it. Well, the boss belongs to a gangster, but the second child belongs to a completely unrelated third party..." "Is it possible? It's hard for outsiders to turn the villa into a 'beer house' without telling the owner. Doesn't Xiao Piao agree with this?" "It's not impossible! Maybe the owner of the second child has stayed overseas for a long time. After the criminals learned about it, they planned to use this unused villa..." "Okay, one step from the villa, I'll give up 10,000 steps, just treat it as such; but this is still unreasonable." "why?" "Because it is obviously not good for the gangsters to spend so much time to mislead the victim. Think about it, how much will it cost to prepare the same bed, refrigerator and nearly two hundred cans of beer?" "Compared to the ransom that the gangsters extorted, it's just a drop in the bucket!" "That's not the problem. If the gangsters spared no expense and effort to make the victim and the police misidentify the place of detention, the positions of the boss and the second child would not be so close." "what……?" "I said, it's too close." "It's too close..." I don't know if it was the smoke that blinded my eyes, or the premonition of hypothetical collapse, the senior drifted for a moment and showed an expression that was about to cry. "But, but, the two villas are completely different! Right?" "The police are not idiots, how could they trust Rou Piao's testimony completely?" "But the police have no reason to suspect it!" "The police really don't doubt it, but at that time, Roupiao escaped under the extreme situation of narrow escape, so it is impossible to guarantee that he will not remember the place of imprisonment; considering this possibility, the police will naturally investigate whether there are other similar buildings nearby when investigating the case. The gangsters should have expected this too, right?" "Well... well," the senior seemed to think it was reasonable, and scratched his stubble. "From what you've said, it's true... um." "If the purpose is to make the police misidentify the place of detention and mislead the direction of the case, the other villa should not be in the R plateau, but should be in a farther place, such as a county or city." "makes sense." "You finally get it. Nicotine circulating in the head?" "It's here, it's here." The senior exhaled smoke rings floatingly and sighed. "I have nothing to say! Why didn't I discover this? Am I an idiot?" "I think you are just too intoxicated by the inspiration that soars to the sky." "You're so considerate, going around in circles to comfort me. Feeling endless!" "Where's the craftsman?" As the host, everyone must be given an equal opportunity to speak—out of this sense of obligation, Gao Qian suddenly pointed the finger at me. "What do you think?" Honestly, I'm troubled; I'm busy fighting drowsiness as the beer has eaten into my sleepy body. I reluctantly listened to the opinions of the other three people, but just sorting out the context, analyzing and understanding it was exhausting, and I had no time to conceive my own hypothesis.After all, it's rare for Gao Qian to ask for my opinion. If I say I have no opinion, wouldn't it be embarrassing?So I decided to say what came to mind. "Hmm..." I poured new wine into the bottomed beer glass, buying time, and thinking about it. "Personally, I am more concerned about the issue of one can of beer missing." As soon as I said that, I suddenly found that I was the only one who was obsessed with this point. I couldn't help worrying that they might think I was naive, or mistakenly thought I was being angry; but I couldn't think of other ideas, so I could only bite the bullet and talk about it. "The boss has ninety-six cans of beer, but the second child only has ninety-five cans? In fact, it's only one can, maybe it doesn't mean anything. Carpenter thinks it's strange?" "A case of beer is twenty-four cans, right? Four cases are ninety-six cans, so the number of the eldest is no problem; but the number two is ninety-five cans. If you buy a whole case, it is absolutely impossible to be like this." It’s a number that doesn’t go up or down.” “It’s not necessarily a whole box!” The senior drank the beer in one gulp and let out a big belch. "Both the boss and the second child only have two cartons. Maybe the boss bought four boxes and lost two empty boxes; but the second child bought two or three boxes, and the rest were bought at random." "Why use such a troublesome way of buying? It takes more than 90 cans of beer. Of course, it is faster to buy the whole case! At least forty-eight of them can be purchased in the whole case. According to common sense, the rest will naturally be as well. " "But in fact, one can is missing! If you calculated correctly and bought the whole box, there should be ninety-six cans, why only ninety-five?" "The answer is simple and the only possibility - someone drank one of the cans." "Someone drank it... what about the empty can? Does the second child have an empty can?" "No." "So," stimulated by this topic, Gao Qian put away the remaining water and wine, and snapped open a can of Yebisu beer. "The unknown person who drank took the empty can with him." "Yes, and I think the key lies here..." "The essential?" "It's just that I don't understand it yet." "However, Carpenter, I don't think I need to tell you, you know that the eldest brother, like the second child, does not have a trash can. Maybe that person just doesn't like littering, so he just took it away; if there is a trash can, He was thrown in there." "Yeah, I think that's the point." "Taking away the empty cans is the key?" "Well... I have this feeling." The more I said, the more I felt guilty.Is this the right thing to do?Obviously there are no specific assumptions, but the words are clear and logical; if you can't hold back at that time, you will be ashamed and ashamed. I gulped down my beer to hide my guilty conscience; suddenly, I thought of another suspicious point that could be put on the table, and as if it was a blessing from God, I said it without thinking. "—Actually, I have another question." Obviously I just thought of it, but I put on an attitude that I have been pondering for a long time; I feel quite sad for myself who is putting on airs. "What question?" "It's a room with beds. The beds of the eldest and second child are placed in rooms with windows facing the road." "That said, it's true." "Is this a coincidence?" "Probably not!" The senior float seemed to think that my point of view was quite interesting, and his voice seemed to be full of interest. "Did I just say that? This is the same as the room with the refrigerator on the second floor closest to the stairs. I think the positions of the beds should also correspond to each other." "That's right, but my question is: why put the bed in that room?" "what why?" "The windows face the road, which means that visitors can see the interior even if they don't intend to peep; At two o'clock, the little rabbit did find the bed right away." The drunkenness was getting stronger, my head began to dizzy, and I couldn't judge the basis for what I said at all, as if the speech in a dream was unreliable; however, my tongue became very clever, could it be because of drunkenness, boldly break? "Yes! So what?" "I think that's exactly the purpose." Hey hey, really?How dare you be so decisive?Don't talk too much!My heart was full of unease, but my mouth became more and more eloquent. "Purpose? Whose purpose?" "Certainly the one who turned the cottage into a 'house of beer.' I think they wanted someone in particular to find that bed." "What are you talking about!" Senior Piaopao looked at me suspiciously, wondering if I was drunk. "I don't understand you at all. Want someone in particular to find that bed?" "In other words, that bed is bait." "Your son?" "Bait..." The little rabbit who was cast with a questioning expression by the senior also looked confused. "You mean something that's used instead of live bait when fishing?" "That's right, it's the bait. It's not so much that the bed is used to let someone sleep, it's more like a bait to lure someone into the villa." "Wait!" Senior Piaopao withdrew his hand towards the Mandarin dictionary. "Your logic jumps too fast! How did you come to this conclusion?" “Suppose someone approaches the house and looks out the window, and if it’s empty, what does he do? Think the house has never been lived in, or has just moved in – right? " "Well..." The senior's expression seemed to be guarding against financial fraud. "It should be! But..." "However, what if there is a single bed in the house, as if you forgot to move it? And it's not a bare bed, with pillows and sheets covered, so what?" "How what?" "Don't you think it's weird?" "Of course it will!" "Maybe because of this, he will become interested in the building in front of him. Then there is the problem; if the person holds the key to the building, he may be attracted by the 'bait' of the bed, and enter the villa to have a look—— This is exactly what the homeowners expected.” "Hey, hey, Carpenter, are you okay? Are you drunk, or half asleep?" "Well, I'm drunk." Denying doesn't help, so I admit it obediently. "I also feel like I'm half asleep and half awake." "I think so, because what you said is completely messed up, confused, and illogical! The person who was introduced into the villa is not the owner of the villa, is it?" "Of course. The owner is the one who turned the villa into a 'house of beer' and designed the lure." "Look, it's really unreasonable! It's fundamentally contradictory! Why does the person who is designed have the key to the villa?" "This is the key point. The person who is lured does not break into the house like us, but enters the villa legally. No, it may not be appropriate to use the word legal to describe it; in short, the person can freely enter and leave the villa without having to go one by one. Ask the landlord for advice." "Huh... so he is...?" "Simply put, they are relatives?" Gao Qian showed her sensitivity. "Is that person a relative of the owner?" "That's right. To be precise, they are relatives of the owners, because there are two villas." "So Carpenter thinks that although the owners of the two villas are different, they are related?" "Perhaps. Of course, I can't be sure." "Okay, what is the purpose of the house owners? Why did they go to such lengths to design to lure relatives?" "That's right!" Little Rabbit also took a can of Yebisu beer and poured it into his glass; could it be that he drank water and wine alone and felt alienated? "Since they are relatives, why do you need to play such a trick? Just entertain him openly!" "Besides, even if the trick is successful, the villa will be empty! Why lure him in?" "Of course it's for..." I unconsciously said to Gao Qian in the tone of "that's still a question". "Let him discover the beer hidden on the second floor!"
