"Ah, no." Xia Yanzhou replied, "The new clue we found is actually the diary. The flaw in Lin Ziyu's character is just a guess derived from certain contents in the diary."

Before Qu Yiyang could ask again, Xia Yanzhou continued, "According to Chi Yu's summary, a total of two conclusions can be drawn from that diary."

"First, although the relationship between Lin Ziyu and Xu Yi is not harmonious, their two children seem to be very close brothers. Perhaps it is because of this that Lin Ziyu and his wife will get together once a year during the Lantern Festival. .”

"second."

Xia Yanzhou paused and lowered his voice unconsciously, "The owner of the villa you are in, Xu Yi... is dead."

"what?"

"what?"

"……died?"

The three people next to the phone looked at each other, exchanging shock in their eyes.

at the same time.

Accompanied by a soft "squeak" sound.

A wooden door in the back was pushed open by an invisible force, and a space filled with darkness was revealed in front of Qu Yiyang and others.

"Gudong".

Shen Chen couldn't help but swallowed.

If you put this in a horror game...that's the rhythm of a chase that's about to happen!

Although he is not afraid of the monsters in the dungeon, he is afraid of ghosts!

Shen Chen quietly moved his body and hid himself behind He Meimei.

Qu Yiyang's expression was also tainted with a hint of nervousness: "Yes."

He took a deep breath, "The direction is so obvious... It seems that what we are looking for next is the cause of Xu Yi's death."

"I think so."

Chi Yu's usual cold voice came, "The 'nightmare' in the mission description is most likely the two murders that happened in these two houses."

"...two games?" Qu Yiyang frowned, "What else did you find over there?"

"No, it's just a guess."

Chi Yu said softly, "But... it should be verified soon."

beep--

The phone hangs up.

Qu Yiyang turned around and faced the darkness in the corner that seemed to be able to swallow everything.

What a nightmare...

He chewed these two words silently, recalling the "mission description" mentioned by Chi Yu.

A series of questions inevitably arise.

Who exactly is it, and why...are they unwilling to wake up from nightmare-like memories?

With such questions.

Qu Yiyang took the lead towards the newly opened area.

He Meimei followed closely behind.

Shen Chen instinctively wanted to stop them, but he also knew that in the face of customs clearance, personal fear of ghosts was so insignificant.

He gritted his teeth and quickly caught up with his two teammates.

While jogging, he shouted angrily: "Hey - don't walk so fast, wait for me -"

……

In a dimly lit cabin.

There was a computer placed on the table not far away. The faint blue light filtered through the screen, casting a faint shadow on the white wall opposite.

Shen Chen hid behind He Meimei, swallowed, and touched the light switch on the wall with shaking hands.

pat, pat.

I fiddled with it twice in a row, but the room didn't change at all.

"I just tried it, the light switch is broken."

"...You didn't tell me earlier!"

"It's easier to accept the reality if you try it yourself."

Qu Yiyang shrugged and walked towards the only light source in the room.

He Meimei shook her arms and tried to throw off the large pendant on her body, but to no avail, she could only drag her teammates forward.

The three of them came to the front of the computer together. Qu Yiyang held the mouse and clicked on the browser icon in the taskbar.

The familiar search interface comes into view.

He didn't rush to proceed. After thinking for a moment, he called up the "History" on the side.

Blank.

"You really didn't give any extra clues." Qu Yiyang muttered.

He thought about the photo he had originally found in the room.

There is obviously no wear and tear, but except for the faces and names of the two "protagonists", nothing else can be seen clearly.

It was as if it was automatically filtered out by some special force.

Qu Yiyang closed the record, typed the word "Xu Yi" on the keyboard, and clicked search.

At the top of the list is a piece of news released by an official account.

"On the morning of May 5, the Ruilian City Police Station received a report claiming that a murder had occurred on the outskirts of the city. After receiving the news, the police immediately rushed to the scene of the crime and found the body of the deceased Xu in the living room, and placed the suspect in custody. Someone was caught red-handed.”

After the brief text, a photo of the "suspect" was attached.

Although her eyes were covered, it was not difficult to tell from her soft face and long shawl hair that the murderer of Xu Yi was a woman.

"She looks young...at least eighteen or nineteen years old."

He Meimei frowned, "Combining the clues we found before... this girl can't be one of Xu Yi's mistresses, right?"

Shen Chen, who was grabbing the hem of her clothes, was stunned for a moment, then turned his attention to the photo on the screen again.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't associate such a cute and beautiful face with the words "mistress" and "murderer".

Qu Yiyang touched his chin: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine why Xu Yi, with his status, would die at the hands of a newly adult woman...or in a slightly "sensitive" place like the living room.

Shen Chen raised his hand: "But if the two of them really have that kind of relationship, why did this girl named Zhou kill Xu Yi?"

As a mistress, shouldn’t she be interested in the other person’s money?

It's okay for Xu Yi to be alive, but once he dies...she won't hope to get the other party's property through the will, right?

Even excluding Lin Ziyu's ex-wife, Xu Yike still has two biological sons!

"Maybe...this Zhou is a commercial spy?"

He Meimei's mind was wide open, "Or maybe she simply has a grudge against Xu Yi? Her family committed suicide due to a failure in the business war. In order to take revenge, she deliberately approached Xu Yi, the culprit who caused the death of her family, and became the latter's mistress despite the humiliation. Just so that I can kill the opponent with one strike when he is relaxed!"

"..."

Shen Chen was so shocked that he even forgot about fear.

Qu Yiyang was also a little speechless: "Is this a romance novel with a female protagonist?"

"It's a story about the heroine's revenge."

He Meimei corrected, "But it has a bit of a sense of age."

"It's more popular now to rely on your own strength to defeat your enemy head-on."

Before she finished speaking, He Meimei suddenly noticed something: "Wait...where is this?"

"How did we get here?"

After her reminder, Qu Yiyang and Shen Chen suddenly woke up.

Only then did the two of them realize that they had changed places at some point!

The dark, cramped room was long gone, replaced by a richly decorated living room.

The floor beneath your feet is a glistening marble floor, and the surrounding carvings and paintings are extremely luxurious.

On the couch opposite, which looked very soft and comfortable at first glance, there was a corpse lying on it.
