The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Lu Jiuchuan always thought that they were just teleported to the world three years ago at night, and everything would return to normal after dawn, just like Xiao Lou and the others were teleported to the ghost town last night, and everyone could investigate together in Qingfeng Town after dawn.

Day and night are different worlds, and this inference has also been recognized by teammates.

But now, tomorrow is already bright, and they are still in the world three years ago?That is to say, the four of them will never be able to meet Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge and other teammates again until Jie Jie leaves the secret room this time?

Lu Jiuchuan suddenly had a splitting headache, and he didn't know what to say with a sullen face.

Tang Ci quickly calmed down, and said to the waiter in the shop: "Please give us four rooms, we want to stay in the shop."

The waiter said: "To be objective, there are only three upper rooms left in our shop."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Then three rooms, I will live with Xiao Tang."

Tang Ci didn't object, and the waiter in the shop smiled openly: "Well, guest officer, please come with me!"

He brought four people to the second floor. Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci lived in the "Tian" room, while Gui Yuanzhang and Chu Huaying chose Di and Xuan respectively.The four of them entered the house and settled down. Chu Huaying said in a low voice through the voice channel: "The Xuanzi room was cleaned very clean, and there was nothing left by Mr. Shao and Ye Qi. So, we really came three years ago?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "After Xiao Lou and the others came out of the ghost town, they couldn't find us. They must be worried, and we couldn't contact them... scattered in different time and space, unable to communicate with each other. Jiuchuan, what should we do next?"

Lu Jiuchuan frowned and walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the street.

After a torrential rain last night, today's weather is exceptionally clear, with a fresh scent of flowers in the air, the residents of Qingfeng Town have already started their activities, and the streets are gradually becoming lively.

Those who sell breakfast, those who carry water, those who chop firewood, and those who go shopping with children, people's faces are full of smiles, and acquaintances greet each other-this place looks like a peaceful and peaceful paradise.

Suddenly, there was a piercing scream from afar: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Lu Jiuchuan's expression changed, and he immediately said to his teammates, "Go and have a look."

The four quickly turned around and went downstairs, following the direction of the voice.

Soon, they came to the door of a house. Because the woman's scream was too loud, the nearby residents were all attracted by her, and gathered around the door to watch the excitement.

When the four of Lu Jiuchuan arrived, they were already surrounded by people, and there was a discussion among the crowd: "Isn't this the Chen family?" "Yes, Chen Yu's wife just gave birth last night, and I heard the baby in the middle of the night." The crying!" "Who was that yelling just now? What's going on?" "I don't know, the mayor seems to be talking to her in the yard too."

Lu Jiuchuan was tall, and even though he was standing in the back row of the crowd, he could clearly see the scene.

The objects in the yard were neatly arranged, without any traces of fighting.A young woman was so anxious that she wiped her tears and said with a sob: "My sister just gave birth last night. I came to see her early this morning, but everyone in the Chen family disappeared! My sister and brother-in-law are missing, and the maids and servants are also gone." None, how could this be?"

Next to her, a man with good features comforted in a low voice: "Is this girl a foreigner? Don't worry, your sister's family is likely to have gone out, and I will send someone to look for it."

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci looked at each other - this person was Qin Feng.

Three years ago, Qin Feng was already the mayor of Qingfeng Town at a young age.I don't know which dynasty this world belongs to. The power of the mayor is equivalent to that of county magistrates and village chiefs in ancient times, but there is no government office. Therefore, Qin Feng usually lives in his own home, and he will come out when there is anything in the town. deal with.

That day, when Lu Jiuchuan and Tang resigned to investigate Qin Feng's home, they happened to meet him back. They didn't have time to enter the secret room, but they used a drone to photograph a room full of rattles hidden in his secret room.

Currently, he is the number one suspect targeted by Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou.

It was an unexpected gain for them to witness Qin Feng's actions three years ago.

Qin Feng looked gentle, turned to look at the crowd, and said, "Fellow folks, please look around the town and find out where the Chen family members have gone."

People around spontaneously ran around looking for someone.

At this moment, suddenly a young man came towards this side. He was wearing a red bridegroom official's wedding dress, and his face was extremely serious. The man strode up to the mayor and asked, "This brother, is Qingfeng Town mayor?"

Qin Feng nodded: "Exactly. Excuse me, young master?"

The man clasped his fists in a bow, and said, "Xiao Ming, the fiancé of Zhao Ze'an, the second young lady of the Zhao family."

Qin Feng said clearly: "So it's Mr. Xiao... Last night, wasn't it the day you and Miss Zhao got married? Why are you still here?"

Xiao Ming explained: "Last night, according to the fortune teller's auspicious time, Ms. Zhao should go out at Yinshi and come to my house to worship at Chenshi, but seeing that the auspicious time has passed, there is still no sign of the bride. I was worried and hurried on, and early in the morning Came to Zhao's house to inquire, but..." His face turned pale slightly, and he said in a low voice, "The whole Zhao's house is empty."

"It's empty?!" Qin Feng couldn't believe it: "They were still holding a banquet last night, how could this be?"

"I can't figure it out either." Xiao Ming frowned and said, "I have already made a marriage contract with the second lady of the Zhao family. It's strange, I hope Brother Qin will find out."

Qin Feng nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll send someone to investigate right away."

Hearing this, the faces of the onlookers became a little complicated.

The news of the disappearance of all members of the Zhao family and the Chen family quickly spread throughout the town.

The originally bustling town seemed to be shrouded in a layer of cloud. The pedestrians on the street all looked nervous. They gathered together, whispered, and guessed what happened to the two families.

Tang Ci looked at the scene in front of him, and said in a low voice: "At this time, there is no such thing as 'a ghost is killing his life', and Qin Feng seems to be investigating seriously. Nine Brothers, do you think Qin Feng will know the murderer, deliberately Helped the murderer to make a game?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "It's possible. We have to check Qin Feng's background again. Also, the masked man Zhao Zesui had a private meeting with outside the town last night can't escape the suspicion. The timing of this Xiao Ming's appearance is also very ingenious .These three need to focus on.”

Chu Huaying asked a question: "Does Xiao Ming's age match the characteristics of the murderer? I remember that Professor Xiao and his colleagues reasoned that the murderer most likely belonged to a tiger, because there were drums left at the scene where the two families disappeared." A rattle with a tiger painted on its face."

Tang Ci calculated carefully, and said: "Three years ago, if you belong to the tiger, you should be... 26 years old, or 38 years old. Xiao Ming got married this year, and he seems to be only in his early 20s, which doesn't match the age characteristics of the murderer. But, Whether the rattle was left behind by the murderer is all our speculation and cannot be used as proof, we still have to find more convincing evidence."

Gui Yuanzhang agreed: "That's right. The rattle is indeed the key clue to connect the cases, but whether the rattle found by the two families was left by the murderer still needs to be verified. We came three years ago, so we can find out exactly this. "

Lu Jiuchuan thought about it for a moment, and said, "Let's do this, divide the troops into two groups. Tang Ci and I followed Qin Feng to see what tricks he was playing; Laogui and Huaying wandered around the town, paying attention to the 'ghosts claiming their lives'. Who spread the rumors. Remember, we are just passers-by staying in the store, don't let the residents of the town suspect that we are murderers, it will be troublesome."

The four acted in groups, and Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci followed Qin Feng to Zhao's house.

All the members of the Zhao family have disappeared, the entire courtyard is empty, and all the red lanterns have been extinguished. Qin Feng stood in the courtyard and frowned. The few men he brought quickly checked the scene and reported: "There is nothing in the house. There were no signs of a fight, and no blood."

Qin Feng looked at Xiao Ming: "Do you know, did your father-in-law's family offend anyone?"

Xiao Ming shook his head: "I don't know. Ms. Zhao and I married each other with our fingertips. 20 years ago, our family moved to Yuezhou City for business. Since then, we have lost contact with the Zhao family. The governor grew up. My grandfather was seriously ill last year, and when he was dying, he remembered that I still had a fiancée who was married, so he asked me to go back to Qingfeng Town, look for Miss Zhao, and get married as soon as possible."

He paused, and then added: "I heard from my grandfather that the people of the Zhao family are honest and honest. My father-in-law has been doing a little business these years, even if he really offends someone, it's not to the point of deep hatred, right?"

Qin Feng looked at the hall suspiciously: "Strange, how could the dozen or so members of the Zhao family disappear without a trace overnight? Neither clothes nor silver were taken away. It doesn't look like they were robbed, but rather They moved it themselves."

Xiao Ming immediately denied it: "Impossible! My father-in-law's family has lived in Qingfeng for decades, and the whole family moved away suddenly for no reason... Besides, Brother Qin, you also said that the clothes and silver were not taken away. If they leave by themselves, Do you have to pack some luggage before going on the road?"

Qin Feng was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Has the person sent to investigate in the small town come back?"

Just as we were talking, suddenly a few people rushed in and said, "Old man Liu from the vegetable market said that he saw a ghost last night! The female ghost was dressed in white and covered her face with long hair, floating around the town. It happened to float to the gate of Zhao's house..."

Qin Feng said sharply: "Nonsense! Uncle Liu is so old and his eyesight is dim. Do you believe him when he says he sees ghosts?"

The man next to him said in a trembling voice: "However, Brother Zhang from the west of the city also saw it. He said that he was woken up by the sound of thunder last night, and went to the toilet at night after the rain stopped, only to see the female ghost in white passing by his house. Floating in the direction of the Chen family, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and sprained his foot."

Qin Feng and Xiao Ming looked at each other and looked at each other.

Xiao Ming said with a sullen face: "Could it be that my father-in-law's family was taken away by the ghost? This is simply nonsense!"

Qin Feng said in a low voice: "Young Master Xiao, you have to believe the story about seeing a fierce ghost, but you can't believe it completely. Maybe someone is playing tricks, pretending to be a fierce ghost, and committing crimes in the small town. I will definitely find a way to find out the truth. "

Xiao Ming bowed politely: "Then please, Brother Qin."

The two went out side by side, Qin Feng said loudly: "Folks, please rest assured, since someone is missing in the small town, I will definitely track it down to the end. Everyone should disperse first, don't listen to rumors."

The crowd of onlookers dispersed quickly, and Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci also left with the crowd.Before Tang Ci left, he quietly left the drone on the big tree in front of Zhao's house.

Not long after, Chu Huaying and Gui Yuanzhang also came back.

The four gathered together the clues, and Chu Huaying said: "There are several old people, young people, and children who saw ghosts last night. They were all awakened by thunder in the middle of the night and saw them when they got up at night. They saw it from different angles and from different angles." I saw a ghost at the location, which means that this 'ghost' does exist, and it is very likely that the murderer pretended to confuse the public on purpose."

Gui Yuanzhang said: "There are more and more rumors of 'ghosts claiming their lives' in the small town. Everyone is panic-stricken. Many vendors are afraid to do business and rush home. If the missing person cannot be found for a long time , In the end, everyone will believe the conclusion of "the rumor of the ghost", which is why we came to the town three years later, and everyone said that it was the ghost who committed the crime."

Lu Jiuchuan looked at Tang Ci: "Qin Feng looks like he is investigating seriously. Could it be that we have wrongly blamed him? Judging by his performance, he doesn't seem to know the murderer."

Tang Ci said: "I left the drone at Zhao's house, maybe I can take some pictures, let's talk about it when it gets dark."
