The Trial Game of Life

"What did you find?"

"Yu Wangnian poisoned his wife."

It was still Jin Cheng who called, his voice sounded a little distorted on the phone, and he was a little out of breath, which showed that he had gone through a hard fight just now.

"I can tell you responsibly that Yu Wangnian is the master of Yu Mansion," he said.

Tang Cuo asked, "How is your side?"

Jin Cheng: "Ghosts can't be killed, maybe they need to be superseded, but my requiem song doesn't work very well. The second floor is completely dark, and it's so ghostly that you can't see anything. I'm afraid there are ghosts. If that lady is really poisoned by her husband, It's possible."

"Is there a way to go up?"

"You are giving me a problem."

Jin Cheng has never come across such a fucked-up dungeon, this must be because all the bosses are concentrated on him alone, without any discussion at all.

"Crack!" The chandelier above the head was overwhelmed, and another one exploded.The already dark living room was even more gloomy, the whistling wind blew through the window, like the whispering of evil spirits, and also like crying.

No, there are ghosts who are really crying.

The direction of the second floor.

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, but his mouth was still teasing, "Do you know what my dungeon should be called? It's called "Haunted Mansion".

Tang Cuo could only say, "Congratulations."

"Is the piano room also on the second floor?"

"Basically determined."

Jin Cheng knew that he had to go up, and it was fortunate that he was here, otherwise the game would be over.He collected himself and glanced at the half-closed door of the kitchen, where there was a ghost.

The female ghost who was beaten away just now is still there, but she disappeared in the toilet on the first floor.There is also a middle-aged male ghost in a suit wandering in the corridor, judging by his age and attire, he should be the butler of the mansion.

The "Zizi" electric sound sounded again, and the call might be interrupted at any time.But what Jin Cheng was most concerned about was that the game had already started for an hour, and there were only three of them from the beginning to the end, how about three more?

Tang Cuo was also thinking about this issue, but none of them mentioned it on the phone. After exchanging some other information, the current interference increased and the call was interrupted.

Qi Hui hurriedly came up to ask what was wrong, but Tang Cuo went up to the second floor without further explanation.

On the second floor, the doors are all locked, except for the public toilet at the end of the corridor.The fact that only this one of a bunch of locked rooms was open was unavoidable.

Qi Hui searched it before, but found nothing.Tang Cuo looked again, but saw the clue.

There was a bit of minced meat in the spout of the bathtub.

The meat was raw, and it was still fresh, but the blood had been diluted by the water, so you had to get close to smell the blood from the water outlet.What meat will appear here?

Answer: The meat left over from the dismemberment.

The windows of the whole house are closed, and only the window of this toilet is open, perhaps for ventilation.

Who is dead?

and many more.

There are ghosts in this dungeon, and people will become ghosts after death.If there really was a corpse dismemberment case here, then this person must have had great resentment when he died, and 100% turned into a ghost.

Where is the ghost?

Tang Cuo raised his head abruptly, looking into the mirror like he did in countless horror movies.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Qi Hui, who was the first to scream, raised his hand in front of the mirror and fired a shot. The bullet almost flew past Tang Cuo's head, "clicking" and smashing the mirror into pieces.

In the shattered mirror, the ghost figure that seemed to be pieced together by countless bloody corpses also split into countless pieces. The face was half green and half white, and the eyes were red. Because the face was also pieced together, and it was not complete, so It's almost impossible to tell the difference between men and women.

"Fuck." Qi Hui's hand holding the gun was trembling, and he quickly fired a few more shots. At the same time, he looked around with full vigilance, fearing that a ghost would appear suddenly.

Tang Cuo watched quietly, then suddenly thought of something, and bent down to search the toilet.

At this time, the mirror was shattered into pieces, and the ghost image finally disappeared.Qi Hui wiped off his cold sweat, and subconsciously approached Tang Cuo to gain a weak sense of security, "Brother Tang, aren't you afraid? What are you still looking for?"

Tang Cuo: "Secret."

Qi Hui: "Should I keep this a secret? Brother Tang, I am your man..."

Tang Cuo didn't bother to explain.

When he said "secret", he didn't want Qi Hui to keep it a secret, but he was looking for the secret hidden in the toilet.Was the man dismembered in the toilet because he found something there?

There is a record on the butler's small blackboard:

09:30: Reception of guests

Judging from the freshness of the minced meat and the smell of blood left in the toilet, the time of the murder was neither too early nor too late, and the time of nine or ten in the morning was just right.

Although the shape of the ghost image is terrifying, it is difficult to see its original appearance, but after Tang Cuo observes carefully, it is still possible to tell whether it is a man or a woman or roughly what age.

It was a man with yellowish, uncurly hair, and his age should be between youth and middle age.

Among the known males in the mansion, only Yu Wangnian, the housekeeper and the attic residents are male.The attic guest is curly-haired, rule it out; according to Jin Cheng's description, the housekeeper ghost wandering in the corridor has black hair, rule it out, then only Yu Wangnian remains.

While it is not ruled out that there are other male figures in the mansion, the visitors of Yu Wangnian and 09:30 are still the biggest suspects.

But Yu Wangnian is the owner of Yu's mansion, if he is killed, it can't be covered up by just dismembering his body.Tang Cuo's intuition told him that it was the unlucky guest who died here.

Within a few minutes, Tang Cuo found half of the note among the shattered mirror fragments.The note was torn, and the end was hooked on a small nail protruding behind the mirror. It looked like someone accidentally dropped a small piece of the note inside when trying to pull it out from behind the mirror.

There are words on the slip of paper.

【—Let’s leave together, okay?Your Wanwan]

The previous character is gone, and only half of the character "Qi" is left, but you can roughly tell which character it is.Judging from the meaning of these words, it seems that "Wan Wan" wants to elope with someone.

Why is the little note that can elope hidden behind the mirror in the public toilet on the second floor?Who is Wan Wan?

Tang Cuo walked out of the toilet holding the note, and stood in the corridor looking around.This is the end of the corridor, with the wall on the right and the path to the attic on the left.

There is no bathroom in the attic, just a simple toilet covered by a curtain.The resident was locked in there for half a year, and it was impossible not to take a bath, so the most likely place for him to take a bath was here-this is called regular ventilation.

"Who is Wanwan? She wants to elope with someone? Hiss—" Qi Hui gasped, "Could that be the adulterer just now? Was it discovered by the master and killed the adulterer?"

The inference of the adulterer sounds reasonable, but under the premise that this person is not a resident of the attic, another adulterer emerges, then this story is too complicated.

Moreover, Tang Cuo felt that the words on the note were also weird and unspeakably awkward.

Qi Hui said again: "Will that ghost run out again? What if physical attacks are useless to him? I don't know how to attack mentally!"

These words reminded Tang Cuo that even if Jin Cheng couldn't kill the ghosts, they probably couldn't do anything about it.It was still the last forty minutes before twelve o'clock, and they didn't even know where the door of the piano room opened.

What is the most important thing about this trip?It's twelve movements.

"If you are afraid of ghosts, use fire." Tang Cuo said as he walked downstairs quickly.

"Use fire? How?" Qi Hui chased after him.

"Don't you have a lighter?"

"Is the lighter used here???"

Tang Cuo guessed, anyway, he won't die if he guesses.

After weighing it over and over again, Qi Hui decided to believe the boss's words, but how much fire can a lighter make? He went to the kitchen to dismantle the broom, wrapped the broom pole with cloth, and poured oil on it to make a simple torch.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is a psychological comfort anyway.

Tang Cuo looked at his posture, fearing that the whole house might be set on fire, so he cast a cold glance, "Look for clues."

Qi Hui: Boss is really scary.

On the way between the two of them looking for clues, Tang Cuo passed by the living room several times. Yu Guang always glanced at the phone subconsciously, but the phone didn't ring for a long time.After a few times, he suddenly realized that he had been relying too much on Jin Cheng recently.

Shaking his head, he turned and entered the maid's room again.

The room was overly clean.Not to say how clean it was, but that there were no clues at all.

Tang Cuo searched here twice, but he didn't find anything of value, but he didn't believe in evil, so he turned his head and came back, staring at the mess after rummaging all over the room, folded his arms and thought deeply.

What kind of role will a young maid in her twenties play in this story about Yu Mansion?

What clues will her value be reflected in?

Finally, Tang Cuo set his sights on the pile of clothes.Some of these clothes are her own, and the materials and styles are obviously deviated. There are also a few clothes of the owner's house that have buttons that are missing or have some small damage, and she will repair them.

Tang Cuo picked up a shirt and a cheongsam and compared them carefully.There was no blood, no stains, no entrainment, the only thing noticeable were the stitches.

The clothes were also mended by maids. The men's white shirts were stitched very carefully, while the cheongsam was a little sloppy.What does this mean?

Based on the TV series Tang Cuo had watched before and various anecdotes, did this maid fall in love with the master?

Tang Cuo has never been very familiar with the relationship between men and women.When I was a detective before, I could find his relationship problems, either cheating or cheating, basically nothing good.

It doesn't matter whether the maid really has a crush on the master and wants to climb high.Tang Cuo really didn't believe that there were no other clues in this room, so he simply drew his sword and removed the bed board and wardrobe.

Qi Hui was passing by the living room when he heard the sound of house demolition coming from the room. He was startled, thinking that the ghost had come out to fight Tang Cuo.Just as he was about to step forward to help, the phone rang in a hurry.

"Why are we all rushing together!" Qi Hui hurriedly rushed over to answer the phone.

"Hello? Brother Jin!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Brother Tang's partner! Don't worry about it, Brother Tang is hooked up with a ghost! I won't tell you anymore, I have to help—" Qi Hui suddenly turned his head, and was about to put down the phone when he met Tang Cuo's expressionless face.

"Damn it." Qi Hui's heart almost exploded with fright.

"Give it to me." Tang Cuo stretched out his hand.

Qi Hui tremblingly handed the phone to Tang Cuo, and kept looking behind him, "Where is the ghost, ghost? You beat him away?"

on the phone.

Jin Cheng heard the commotion over there, and asked, "How is it?"

Tang Cuo: "It's okay."

Jin Cheng: "When did you change your partner?"

Tang Cuo: "?"

Jin Cheng couldn't hear his answer, so he knew that he was trying to communicate with himself using brainwaves again, but he couldn't help laughing, "I can't see your expression, maybe you can describe it to me?"

Tang Cuo: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, he replied, "No change."

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Since he didn't change, why did he claim to be your partner? Isn't your partner me?"

Tang Cuo: "Because you're not here."

Jin Cheng: "Oh."

Suddenly there is nothing to say.

The two got to the point.

Jin Cheng said: "I went to the second floor to check. Most of the rooms are locked. I entered the unlocked ones, but I couldn't find the piano room. The housekeeper's key can indeed open the attic. I saw it on the wall of the attic. Some fragments of staves written in blood."

"Twelve movements?"

"Yes."

The twelve movements record the score of "Song of Gods, Lambs and Crows" without lyrics.Excluding the lyrics, the weird melody would not be inconsistent with any horror story.

"Is there an orthographic letter under the bed?"

"Yes. The ghosts on the second floor are so powerful that I don't have time to count them, but at a glance, there are probably more than 150, not too many."

More than 150, that is equivalent to two years.From here, it can be basically concluded that the person locked in the attic has always been that person, and he has been keeping records.

When Tang Cuo saw the orthographic characters, there were more than 1926 orthographic characters. In 150 when Jin Cheng lived, there were nearly 1924 orthographic characters. So Tang Cuo’s time at this time was around [-].

This is consistent with what he initially deduced.

"One thing is strange." Jin Cheng's tone was rarely dignified, "I only met two ghosts on the second floor, one is a male ghost made of messy corpses, and the other is a female ghost."

"I also met the male ghost. I suspect that he was a guest who visited the mansion and broke the secrets of the mansion, so he was killed in the public toilet at the end of the corridor on the second floor."

Jin Cheng ran into ghosts and fought all the way, every moment was filled with horror from the evil ghosts, and there was no time to search for clues.He didn't go into the toilet that Tang Cuo said, because the ghoul was in the toilet.

The two ghosts each occupy one end of the second floor, and it seems that the relationship is not very good.Jin Cheng simply used himself as a bait to lure the female ghost to the male ghost's territory and let them fight. Then he took the opportunity to run to the attic and had a chance to find clues.

"According to what you said, if the male ghost is a guest, what about the residents in the attic, Yu Wangnian and the lady of this family? Ghosts can pass through walls, unless they are trapped in a certain place by some evil formation. They won't be locked in the house by mere door locks." Jin Cheng said.

"Maybe someone is not dead and has escaped, maybe there is a space we haven't discovered yet." Tang Cuo replied.

"It's also possible, but one thing is certain, the person locked in the attic is called Yu Wangyue."

"full moon?"

Tang Cuo suddenly thought of the pocket watch he found in the maid's room. The word "wy" was engraved on the back of the pocket watch.Yu Mochizuki, Mochizuki, isn't it just wy?

Now Jin Cheng talked in detail about what he found in the attic——

The attic resident is on the verge of going insane after being locked up for more than two years.Whether it's the messy staves written with blood on the wall, or the increasingly heavy orthographic strokes under the bed, they all reveal the host's increasingly unstable mental state.

The entire attic was in a mess, books were scattered all over the place, and the only mirror was broken and thrown on the ground.

Jin Cheng could be sure that it was broken by someone, because the ruler that broke the mirror was on the side, and there were still glass shards on it.Beside the broken mirror, Jin Cheng also picked up a few medium-length curly hairs.

Other things in the room are scattered but still in good condition, only the mirror is broken, why?Was it the man who saw himself in the mirror and couldn't accept reality, so he broke the mirror?

"Where is Yu Wangyue? How do you know his name is Wangyue?" Tang Cuo asked.

"There were torn pieces of paper on the ground, and a person named Lin Wan handed him a letter, saying that he would let him out." When Jin Cheng picked up the torn paper, he couldn't piece together the whole text, but both the recipient and the signature could see it. clear.

Hearing Tang Cuo talk about the corpse mutilation case in the toilet, it was all right.

The question is - what is the relationship between Yu Wangyue and Yu Wangnian?

Tang Cuo turned an old pen that was finally found in the maid's room, and said, "Judging from the name, this is brother."

Jin Cheng understood, "Sister-in-law and uncle?"

While the two were talking, the sound of electric current reappeared, and the call was about to be cut off.Jin Cheng knew that a ghost had also appeared on his side, and was about to rush to give some instructions, when a third person's voice suddenly sounded on the phone.

"Hello? Is there anyone?! Help!!!"

The author has something to say:

Speaking of escape rooms, there is a recent variety show called "Escape Room", created by the team of Ming Detective, the scenes and mechanisms are really awesome (recommended to watch the Great God version)
