"Now that both the first and third doubts have been resolved, the answer is: the man hanging in the office is not the murderer X; the real culprit is Liao Mengwei. She wore a raincoat and a mask to conceal her identity. She called you, along with Male B and Female C, to the company so that you could witness the live-streamed murder drama through the glass doors, intending for you to serve as witnesses who would testify that murderer X entered the office and never came out again. This way, the police would conclude that the only person in the office—the man hanging there—must be the murderer.
"As for the second doubt: why did Liao Mengwei install and detonate a micro-bomb on Male A, destroying his body? This is the key to understanding how Liao Mengwei disappeared from that completely sealed office!"
"What on earth happened?" I asked impatiently. "After Liao Mengwei entered that office, it was as if she vanished into thin air. That's simply impossible! This... this can't be a crime!"
"The impossibility of committing a crime does not equate to its nonexistence; it's just that the murderer employed some sleight of hand to obscure the truth from us temporarily." V paused slightly, glanced at me, and continued slowly, "There was once an expert who conducted a test: a group of participants watched a short clip of a white sports car speeding down a country road. Afterward, they were divided into two groups, A and B, and asked different questions. Group A was asked: 'What was the approximate speed of the white sports car?' While Group B was asked: 'What was the approximate speed of the white sports car as it passed by the barn?'"
I couldn't grasp what V meant by this, my brows furrowing in confusion as I remained silent.
V continued, "A few days later, the expert asked all participants one question: 'Did you see a barn in the clip?' In fact, there was no barn in that clip at all. Among participants in Group A, 3% claimed they saw one—this was normal—but in Group B, an astonishing 17% said they had seen it!
"Why did so many people in Group B report seeing a barn that didn't exist? It was because they had previously answered a question about 'the white sports car's speed as it passed by the barn.' This question provided them with seemingly real information—implying that there was indeed a barn on that country road—which influenced their perception and even led them to genuinely 'see' events that never occurred. Their memories were manipulated and replaced!
"Later investigations revealed that most of those 17% in Group B lacked assertiveness in real life and were easily swayed by others. Such individuals are prone to external influences that can distort their memories."
At this point, I could no longer hold back my curiosity. "What does all this have to do with how Liao Mengwei left the office?"
V's lips curled slightly. "You seem to be someone who can be easily swayed, don't you? Not just you; I believe Female C is also someone lacking assertiveness and easily influenced by her surroundings."
I swallowed hard and nodded. "Yes, I often find it easy to change my views. As for Female C, from what I've observed, her personality is similar."
"That's why you both were chosen by Liao Mengwei to serve as witnesses," V said.
