Xiao Xi recited loudly for a long time, her throat almost smoking, and now she was finally able to stop.

It was exactly half past eleven, and it was also the break time required by the schedule.

In the next room, Bai Jingjing and Peng Jun, after listening to Xiaoxi reading all night, were already extremely anxious.

Finally, Xiaoxi stopped reading, and Bai Jingjing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Jingjing looked at the time. It was only half past eleven, so Chen Mu and the other man stopped studying.

Mom said to rest at 11:30, but evening is a good opportunity to overtake others.

The feeling that his competitors had already fallen asleep while he was still studying gave Bai Jingjing a great sense of security.

She decided to curl up until one o'clock before going to bed.

On the other hand, Chen Mu didn't care whether she curled it or not.

He took Xiaoxi and went out quietly.

In order to avoid being discovered, he did not close the door as he did before, but only left a gap.

The two of them went downstairs carefully without making any sound.

The living room at night looked strange and scary. In the dark corner, there seemed to be some monster hiding.

Xiao Xi was a little scared. He hugged Chen Mu's thighs tightly and whispered:

"Brother Chen, we...are not going to the basement, are we?"

Chen Mu touched Xiao Xi's little head and comforted her, "Don't go now, I need to verify a hypothesis.

Go to the utility room and help me carry two shovels out."

Xiao Xi understood immediately, "Brother Chen, do you want to dig out Jiang Xiaoge's body?"

"Yes, come on, I'll go check in the kitchen. Meet up here in two minutes."

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen.

Xiao Xi went to the utility room next door to look for a shovel.

Normally speaking, in a villa with strange missions, dispersing actions is always a taboo.

A classic tactic in horror movies is that the protagonist and supporting characters act separately and then die one by one.

But Chen Mu had the confidence to do so.

He has basically seen the power of the villa. Although he doesn't know the whole truth, he at least knows what is safe and what is dangerous.

Chen Mu came outside the kitchen.

These days, it has been my dad who has been cooking in the kitchen.

Moreover, during the past two days of meals, Chen Mu observed that every time his father finished cooking, he would take out the key and lock the kitchen door!

Locking the door after cooking? That's weird.

Chen Mu originally thought that his father had a hard time being taken care of by his mother, as he not only had to work but also had to cook.

But when he saw his father lock the kitchen after cooking, Chen Mu suddenly felt that

Is it possible that dad took the initiative to cook?

Why did he take the initiative to cook and lock the kitchen to prevent others from entering?

Is there some secret hidden in the kitchen?

Chen Mu already had a guess in his mind.

After arriving at the kitchen door, Chen Mu tried to push the door, but it didn't open.

Apparently the kitchen door was still locked.

Without Dad’s key, if I try to break into the door, I will inevitably alert Mom and Dad.

Chen Mu had no plans to enter the kitchen because it was not large and the sliding door was transparent, so he only needed to stand at the door to see the entire scene inside.

Chen Mu's eyes passed through the transparent door and kept searching the kitchen.

Finally, his eyes rested on something.

He stared closely, his eyes becoming more and more certain.

That's what he's looking for!

Chen Mu memorized its patterns in his mind.

At this time, Xiao Xi came to Chen Mu with two shovels.

"Brother Chen, I got it."

"Come on, follow me to the yard and dig out Jiang Xiaoge's body."

The yard was very cold in the winter, but Chen Mu ignored the cold and immediately started working with a shovel.

After digging for a while, I still didn't see the body bag.

The ground in winter was like a frozen cake, and it was freezing cold at midnight, so every time we shoveled in, we could only dig out half a shovel of soil.

Fortunately, the yard is some distance away from the room, so there is no need to worry about disturbing others.

Xiao Xi also helped with a shovel. Both of their fingers were red from the cold, and the white breath they exhaled was clearly visible in the dark.

The two dug for nearly ten minutes and finally saw the body bag.

"Why is it buried so deep?" Xiao Xi couldn't help but complain.

"Have you forgotten? It was mom who asked us to bury it deeper, saying that if it was buried too shallowly it would become smelly." Chen Mu said.

At this moment, he finally understood the real reason why his mother asked him to bury it deeper - it was to prevent someone from digging it out!

This made Chen Mu even more certain that there were important clues on Jiang Xiaoge's body.

Finally, after twenty minutes of hard work, the two men lifted the body bag onto the grass.

Due to the low temperature, the body bag had become hard.

Fortunately, the temperature was low enough and the body did not rot.

Chen Mu opened the body bag and Jiang Xiaoge's head rolled out.

Chen Mu had no reservations. He picked up the head and looked at it closely.

At the broken part of Jiang Xiaoge's neck, Chen Mu saw the clue he was looking for.

Jiang Xiaoge's neck was not broken naturally, but was cut off by some sharp weapon.

When something is cut with a sharp tool, it will naturally leave cutting marks.

The cuts are jagged and look like jagged edges.

Chen Mu thought of the knife used for cooking and cutting vegetables in the kitchen!

The shape of the blade matches the incision on the head perfectly!

Although he had already guessed it, Chen Mu was still a little shocked when he saw this scene.

"I think I already know who the real murderer is who killed Jiang Xiaoge."

Chen Mu murmured to himself.

Only Dad has the key to the kitchen, and only Dad can get the knife.

Why did Dad lock the kitchen and not allow anyone to enter?

Chen Mu's reasonable guess at the moment was also because of the table knife!

In this villa, the table knife is a deadly weapon. Dad controls the kitchen, and then controls the ownership of the table knife, thus gaining a strong force in the villa.

In this way, the originally chaotic situation has become completely clear in Chen Mu's eyes.

To the players' surprise, the father, who looked timid, honest and simple, and had a low presence in the strange mission, was actually a powerful BOSS hidden behind the scenes!

The players focused their attention on dealing with the mother, but the mother has not killed any of the players so far.

Chen Mu even felt that his mother might not belong to the "hostile" camp. On the contrary, she might be the real "neutral" camp!

The old lady looks eerie and scary, but she is actually in the friendly camp.

The one who actually killed the player was actually the dad who had a low sense of presence.

He is the one who poses a life threat to the players!

So the question is, why did the dad stop the player from going to the basement? He even killed the player for this.

This just reveals that there is something in the basement that scares Dad!

That old lady? Or something else?

Chen Mu has already decided that no matter what, he must go to the basement and get the thing that scares his father.

The way to break the situation lies within!
