A little expert in solving crimes in the entertainment industry

Everyone was stunned, and then someone yelled unresponsively, and fear spread in everyone's heart.

Zhang Miao held He Sui's hand tightly, her palm was covered with cold sweat.

And He Sui was not much better at the moment.

Because at the moment Zhang Miao held him, he saw Zhang Miao's death.

It was already daytime at that time, Zhang Miao ran and turned her head in panic, as if someone was chasing her, a net suddenly fell in front of her, Zhang Miao was caught off guard and directly slammed into it, the net only covered her The lower part of her face was clasped tightly around her neck, and it suddenly rose up.

It was just such a net, and Zhang Miao, who was slightly fat, was suspended in the air.Zhang Miao grasped the top of the net with both hands, trying to pull his face out of the net.But the more she struggled, the tighter the net tightened, her movements became smaller and smaller, and finally her arms slipped off.

"He Sui, are we all going to die?"

Zhang Miao's trembling voice sounded next to his ears, and He Sui's eyes returned to normal.He stared at the man hanging on the tree, knowing that his death method might be the same as Zhang Miao's.Moreover, Du Li was also strangled to death by Wang, and the murderer chose the same method of killing.

He shook Zhang Miao's hand and said firmly, "No matter what happens, don't run around alone. The police will arrive at dawn, and we will be fine."

His body temperature was transmitted through the clasped hands of the two, and Zhang Miao felt a little relieved.

And He Sui did not find any details related to the murderer from the death screen displayed by the second touch.

The murderer used a mechanism and never showed up from the beginning to the end.

It seems that they can only follow Zhang Miao closely to ensure that nothing happens to her.He Sui counted the time, and Lin Yuan arrived, but it would be noon anyway.After daybreak, it will become more difficult for the murderer to attack. If he can't find a chance, maybe he will give up and continue killing.

Of course, this is just an optimistic idea. Zhang Miao's predicted death happened during the daytime, and He Sui knew that he should not relax his vigilance just because of the dawn.

The chief director directed two people to go over and unload the corpse from the tree.The others were still not allowed to approach, and they all returned to their original rooms.

He Sui counted the number of people again. Originally, there were 21 of them in total. After Du Li died, there were still [-] people left, and they were gathered here in the middle of the night.The one who died just now, through the method of elimination, He Sui knew that it was a staff member in charge of chores, named Xia Tao.He Sui didn't know when he went out. This village is very old, and only the courtyard has that kind of squatting toilet. Xia Tao is not the only one who goes out to the toilet in the middle of the night.Why did something happen to Xia Tao?

After appeasing everyone, the chief director emphasized: "Don't act alone! If you want to go out, at least two people must be together, and you must register before you can leave!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly someone said: "Director, let's go, this place is too scary!"

Someone started to say this, and immediately the discussion was full of enthusiasm, and they all expressed their intention to leave here.

"Yeah, I'm just here on a business trip, why did I encounter a murder case?"

"This village is weird, please leave early!"

"Du Li and Xia Tao died so inexplicably, maybe the next one will be one of us, if you don't leave, are you waiting to die?"

The last sentence successfully aroused everyone's panic, so the few of them took the lead and rushed out to get on the bus regardless.The rest of the people in the room were afraid that they would drive the car away, and they couldn't leave the village, so they all followed.

In a blink of an eye, only He Sui, Zhang Miao and their assistant were left in the room.

Zhang Miao was terrified, grabbed He Sui's arm, and asked him, "Shall we follow?"

He Sui shook his head, "They can't leave."

He saw that the chief director didn't stop him, so he had a bad guess in his heart.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, a group of people came back dejectedly, "Director, someone punctured our car tire!"

They only drove one bus, how could such a thing happen?Now I really want to go but I can't.Zhenli Village is isolated from the outside world, and the closest place to the village where you can take a car will take at least five hours on foot!

The chief director said: "As soon as Du Li's accident happened, I checked the bus. Now we can only wait for the police to come, everyone stay here and don't wander around."

After knowing that they couldn't leave, everyone became more honest.

He Sui took out his phone to check the time, it was five o'clock.He thought that Du Li had an accident during the live broadcast, so he opened Weibo and searched for keywords of Du Li's live broadcast death.

There is no result, it should be blocked.

He Sui had expected that this incident had alarmed Lin Yuan in the capital, and there was no reason why he would not be harmonized.After all, being murdered during the live broadcast is a bit too challenging for the psychological endurance of the audience.

It was getting brighter, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The house they are staying in now has no owner.Usually, the village head delivered meals. Considering the crowds today, the chief director wanted to call the village head and talk about the situation.

But the phone rang for a long time, and the village chief didn't answer it.

The chief director's face suddenly became very ugly.From this program until now, the village head has been in charge of contacting them. If there is anything to do, the village head is the village head. Even Du Li's body was carried back last night by the village head.It's only been one night, how did the village chief's attitude change so much?

A girl said weakly: "In this situation, we don't dare to eat the food they sent..."

Everyone was silent.

That's right, if the village head is a murderer and poisons the food, wouldn't everyone be done playing together?

The chief director waved his hand, "Don't treat everyone as a murderer. If the village chief wanted to poison us, he would have had a chance to do it before."

But this is not convincing.Just because you didn't do it before doesn't mean you won't do it now.Judging from the current situation, the village and them are obviously already in conflict. Even if the village chief is not the murderer, he will not tell them who the murderer is.

Everyone started looking for something to eat in their bags. Before they came, everyone brought a lot of snacks because they were afraid that they might not be used to eating.The problem is that it's the last day, and there's not much left to eat.

The assistant found a pack of biscuits and shared some between Zhang Miao and He Sui.

Zhang Miao was halfway through eating when he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, sorry, I left the book at my mother-in-law's house!"

The mother-in-law she was talking about was the family where the three of them lived before.

He Sui's heart tightened, and he immediately thought of the scene of Zhang Miao's death, and asked her, "What book? It's not important, so don't take it?"

Zhang Miao said: "My daughter gave me the book. I read it every night. If I don't read it, I can't fall asleep." Her tone was very annoyed. She read the book for a while before going to bed last night and stuffed it under the pillow. In the middle of the night, Du Li had an accident. He was so panicked that he forgot to take out the book.

Images of Zhang Miao's death kept flashing in He Sui's mind, and he persuaded her, "Let the child buy you another copy. It's not safe to go back and get it now."

The assistant touched He Sui quietly, "He Sui, Sister Miao's child is no longer alive."

I see.No wonder something happened to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao said, "I have to go and get it back, that is the last gift she gave me."

Speaking of this, He Sui couldn't persuade him any more, so he said, "Sister Miao, I'll accompany you to get it."

Zhang Miao smiled at him gratefully, and went to the chief director to register her and He Sui's names.

The chief director also strongly emphasized: "When you get the things, you must come back as soon as possible!"

Zhang Miao and He Sui repeatedly assured that before Lin Yuan arrived, it would be safest for them to gather together.

After going out, He Sui crushed the biscuits in his hands and sprinkled some on every few steps.

The mother-in-law's home is not far from where they are staying now, logically speaking, they should not get lost, but now is an extraordinary period, and Zhang Miao's death is close at hand, so he dare not take risks.

The two came to the yard of her mother-in-law's house in silence. Zhang Miao said loudly to the house where her mother-in-law lived: "Grandma, are you at home? I left something behind, I'll come back to get it!"

The whole yard was quiet, the mother-in-law didn't say a word, and there seemed to be a pair of prying eyes behind the window, which made He Sui feel uncomfortable all over.

Obviously my mother-in-law was very enthusiastic towards them yesterday, what happened to make the attitude of the villagers change so quickly?

He Sui gave Zhang Miao a little push, and the two of them went into the house where Zhang Miao used to live, and Zhang Miao found the book she had forgotten.He Sui glanced at it. The name seemed to be "The Best Mother". He could understand Zhang Miao's mood to come back to get the book at the risk of his life.When he used to yearn for maternal love, he would often look at his mother's photo.

The two of them exited the room, but the peeping eyes still did not look back.

He Sui was annoyed, so he simply walked to the window, but the figure inside disappeared in a flash.

He Sui said loudly, "Grandma, please speak up if you have something to say."

There was no movement inside.He Sui also expected that now the villagers are avoiding them like snakes and scorpions, so of course her mother-in-law won't talk to them.

He was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he heard the word "ancestral hall" whispered inside.

He Sui was startled, pretending not to hear, and walked towards Zhang Miao.

It turned out that the problem was the ancestral hall.

He still remembered that on the first day he came, the village chief reminded them that they could not go to the ancestral hall.

As for where the ancestral hall is, the village head didn't say, and they haven't seen it in the past few days.Not only He Sui, but others probably don't remember this taboo in the village.

Considering that the attitudes of the village head and mother-in-law changed after Du Li's death, did Du Li go to the ancestral hall?

Zhang Miao saw that his expression was different, so he couldn't help asking him, "What's wrong?"

He Sui said, "The ancestral hall is weird."

As soon as Zhang Miao heard it, his face was also ugly.

He Sui was still worried, for fear that something would happen to her, he had to tell the chief director immediately about the ancestral hall. Even if Du Li committed a taboo by breaking into the ancestral hall, he didn't need to ask the rest of them to make amends, right?

The biscuit crumbs on the road were still there, so He Sui was somewhat relieved, and the two followed the biscuit crumbs to the house where the chief director and the others were staying.

After walking for a while, the road diverged into two forks, and the biscuit crumbs pointed to the one on the right.Zhang Miao was about to go over, but He Sui grabbed her, no, he felt very wrong!Every cell in his body is resisting him to go to the right.

"Isn't it?" Zhang Miao was puzzled, and bent over to examine the biscuit crumbs on the ground carefully, "It's impossible for the biscuit crumbs to point to the wrong direction. No one can pick up such small crumbs and switch to another road!"

He Sui also knew that what she said was right, but this was Zhenli Village, which was known as the maze of gossip, so it couldn't be judged by common sense.

He decisively pulled Zhang Miao to another road.

Without biscuit crumbs to guide the way, the two walked very carefully. Fortunately, it didn't take long before the familiar house appeared in front of them.

Zhang Miaosong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really strange. The biscuit crumbs obviously don't refer to this place. But the stone lion at the door of the house is this one, and one eye is missing."

They walked into the house as they talked, and when they opened the door, they were shocked.

All the dozen or so people in the room disappeared, and only his and Zhang Miao's bags were left on the ground.

what happened?

Zhang Miao immediately took out his mobile phone to call the chief director, and He Sui also called his assistant.

Both sides were quickly answered.

The chief director said: "Xiao Zhang, the village chief has taken us to dinner. Come here as soon as you come back!"

The assistant also said: "He Sui! I left a note for you and Sister Miao, come here when you see it, there are a lot of delicious food here."

The background sound was cheerful and noisy, but He Sui felt it was very strange. They had only left for a while, how could this group of people forget about the death of two people?

He Sui hurriedly went out and pushed away the next room, where the bodies of Du Li and Xia Tao were originally placed, but they were nowhere to be seen.

He went back to Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao found the note left by the assistant, which said: "The village chief came and said that everything was a joke for us. Du Li and Xia Tao are not dead. Chief director Chong I lost my temper, now we are going to have a big meal, Sister Miao He Sui, come here as soon as you come back! ^_^"

"How can you be so joking!" Zhang Miao was very angry, "I'm almost scared to death, okay?"

She angrily crumpled the note up and threw it on the table.

He Sui became more and more uneasy. Du Li and Xia Tao were indeed dead, and even Zhang Miao's death notice was true.All this cannot be explained with a joke.

Zhang Miao complained again: "I don't say where they went. This village is so big, where can we find them?"

She walked over to carry the luggage bag on her back, glanced up inadvertently, and immediately lost her mind. "ah--"

He Sui heard the voice and quickly looked up.This room is connected to the room next door where the dead body was parked. Standing in their position, they could just see Du Li and Xia Tao, who were hanging from the beam next door.

He Sui's scalp was also numb. He went to check just now, but he didn't see the body yet.

In other words, the murderer is nearby!

He Sui's heart beat faster, and suddenly he had a plan.He approached Zhang Miao and said softly, "Sister Miao, do you believe me?"

Zhang Miao nodded in panic.

He Sui put his hand on the back of Zhang Miao's hand, confirmed the location of Zhang Miao's accident, and then whispered something to Zhang Miao.

Then, Zhang Miao's sobbing gradually became louder, and she suddenly broke down and shouted: "I've had enough, I must leave here immediately!"

She said and ran out of the room.

He Sui chased after a few steps, then stopped: "Sister Miao, don't run around!"

Zhang Miao turned a deaf ear and ran to the place He Sui pointed out just now.A net suddenly dropped in front of her, and Zhang Miao threw the backpack over with a flick of his hand.

The net caught the backpack, and it went up with a "whoosh".

Zhang Miao sat on the ground in fear.

Then, a figure poked its head out and disappeared, but He Sui, who followed closely behind, was enough to see who he was.

He went to help Zhang Miao up.

"Did you see it?" Zhang Miao asked tremblingly.

"It's Sun Zhiqiang." He Sui said in a deep voice.

Zhang Miao was extremely surprised: "It's him?!"

Sun Zhiqiang is the director of the program group. He originally thought that the murderer was from the village, but he did not expect to be a member of the program group.

If it weren't for the fact that the backpack weighed so much less than a person, I'm afraid Sun Zhiqiang wouldn't have popped up to take a look at it.It's a pity that He Sui didn't dare to chase after him. The terrain of this place is too complicated.

Zhang Miao recovered a little strength, "What should we do now?"

He Sui thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the ancestral hall."
