"Cops, you're lying." Qiao Jiajin chimed in coldly.
"Hmph, I already knew you would say that, but what proof do you have that I'm lying? Just because someone attacked me?"
"Of course not." Qiao Jiajin smiled faintly, "Although I don't know the reason, the stories told by all the people before were more or less connected, and there were many shared characters amongst these stories, so if we put aside the geographical location, the narratives of the people are all reasonable."
"So what?"
"That's the problem." Qiao Jiajin reached out and pointed at the lawyer, Zhang Chenze, "There is a common character in both your and the lawyer's stories, that is, the 'swindler who cheated two million dollars', but your stories contradict each other, which suggests that one of you has told a lie."
Officer Li followed suit and asked, "Where is the contradiction?"
Qiao Jiajin shook his head and looked at Officer Li, "Lawyer Zhang is already getting ready for court, which means that in her story, she has already 'caught the suspect', while you are still squatting, which means that in your story, 'the suspect still hasn't been caught', isn't that a contradiction?"
Officer Li pondered slightly and spoke, "I have to say, your words have some truth to them, but I think you're being influenced by this 'game', first of all, you have to understand one major premise, and that is that all the previous storytellers were not in the same city as the others. In other words, our experiences, even if they were similar, could never be about the same thing. Since they are different things, they will naturally have different results."
Qi Xia quietly looked at this duo who were always arguing, and did not open his mouth to stop them.
Yes, argue, the more ferocious the argument, the better.
As long as either of the two of them gave the other a vote, the liar won.
After all, the rules were absolute, and any one person other than the liar who voted wrongly would bury all the rest.
Although Officer Li had already given an explanation, Qiao Jiajin's words were still imprinted in the hearts of the crowd.
After all, this was the first time that everyone had discovered a plot that contradicted in the stories of the two men.
Qi Xia couldn't help but think highly of this gangster called Qiao Jiajin.
Although he looked debauched, he was smarter than expected.
"Well ... it's my turn ...," a girl spoke up.
The crowd then gathered their thoughts and looked at her.
This girl had let out a violent scream at the beginning of the death.
At this moment, she seemed to have calmed down, only that her gaze had been too afraid to look to her side.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ringo and I am a counselor."
Zixia gave a slight start, because the name 'Ringo' was interesting.
Before the Tang Dynasty, 'Ringo' meant 'apple'.
These two words were rich in poetry and impressive.
Perhaps this Ms. Lin's parents wanted their daughter to have a distinctive name, but that name would obviously kill her here.
There were writers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, and police officers in the room, all of whom could have known the meaning of 'Ringo'.
All it took was to have the name swirling around in their minds a few times, and then the story Ringo was telling would be impressive.
Noticing little reaction from the crowd, Ringo reached up and covered his mouth and nose and continued, "I'm from Ningxia, and before I got here I was waiting for a counselor who was a kindergarten teacher."
The crowd glanced at the kindergarten teacher named Xiao Ran with a strange look, this time the story was connected again.
"According to her, the kindergarten teacher profession is difficult nowadays, children can't be hit or scolded. Parents treat kindergarten teachers as nannies, children treat kindergarten teachers as servants, every classroom is equipped with surveillance inside, parents monitor in real time, your tone is a little bit harsher, parents will be a phone call to the director."
"But aren't parents sending their children to kindergarten so that they can build their three views?"
"If the teacher is not allowed to teach harshly, how will the child recognize her mistakes?"
"She feels that for a long time she has been in a state of confusion and depression."
"So I put together a treatment program for her for about a month."
"But for some reason, the counselor never showed up for her appointment, so I waited in the studio."
"When the earthquake hit, I had no chance of escaping. After all, my studio is on the twenty-sixth floor."
"The higher the floor, the stronger the tremor, and I felt the whole building shaking."
"In the past, I never knew that there could be earthquakes in Ningxia, and this one made me feel it."
"Later I vaguely remember the ceiling collapsing, I blacked out and didn't know anything else."
Everyone seemed to think of something else after hearing Ringo's story.
Joe Jiajin was the first to say, "I have two questions."
"Go ahead." Ringo asked, covering his mouth and nose.
"What do you mean when you say that every classroom is equipped with 'surveillance'?"
The crowd didn't expect that to be the point of concern for Jo Jiajin, but Ringo, true to her reputation as a counselor, answered very patiently, "I suppose the reason for the 'surveillance' is so that parents can see what's going on in the classroom from anywhere."
"So it's 'closed circuit television' ... is it an aristocratic kindergarten ...," Qiao Jiajin muttered to himself, before asking, "Then your appointment with that kindergarten teacher, is this Xiao Ran next to her?"
"That I don't know." Ringo shook his head, "I only added WeChat with that person, and I'm prepared to meet up to talk about the rest of the situation."
"WeChat?" Qiao Jiajin froze for a moment, not seeming to understand.
Officer Li reached out and interrupted the two, saying, "Punk, you're here again. Xiao Ran is in Yunnan, and this Ringo is in Ningxia, who would cross such a far geographical location to find a counselor?"
Qiao Jiajin didn't show any weakness either, "I just find it suspicious that this is the first time someone's story has mentioned other participants."
Dr. Zhao for once felt that what Qiao Jiajin said made sense, and also nodded on the sidelines, asking, "Xiao Ran, is your reason for going to a counselor the same as what this Ringo described?"
"Well ...," Xiao Ran timidly mused and said, "It's not very much the same ...I went because I was blamed by a parent for a long period of time, so I was a bit depressed ..."
"Then that proves it's just a coincidence." Dr. Zhao nodded, "After all, it's a matter of two regions, there's no need for us to force a correlation."
Everyone was silent for a moment at this point, but Lawyer Zhang suddenly spoke up, "This Ms. Lin, half of the story you're telling is that 'kindergarten teacher's' story, isn't that against the rules?"
"Huh?" Ringo froze slightly, "I'm telling about that kindergarten teacher so that you can better understand what I do ..."
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else." Zhang Chenze smiled a bit, "What I want to say is that if that kindergarten teacher's experience was made up by you, it would naturally be different from Xiao Ran's story, and it would prove that you lied."
"You ...!" Ringo didn't expect that the woman in front of him could be so aggressive, and could only defend, "Just now, Dr. Zhao and Officer Li both said that our provinces are different, and that it's all just a coincidence!"
"Coincidence, is it?" Zhang Chenze wrapped his hands around his body and continued, "Think carefully, why were the nine of us alone chosen to gather here? Don't forget, we are nine strangers, and if we want to hear the cracks in each other's stories, we must be given a little clue. And that 'clue' is that everyone's stories are connected, and listening to everyone's stories, I get the feeling that we were purposely chosen. That's how we can successfully find the break in the stories of all the people and find the liar, otherwise the game would be too outrageous, because the 'liar' has too much chance to win."
