The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The sun is about to set, and Qingfeng Town is shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. Xiao Lou opened the window and looked outside, and the people on the street really hurried back home. The town is lively and peaceful during the day, but once the sun sets, it will be It will become an empty city.

Xiao Lou looked at the empty alley and said softly, "If we stay in the small town, we will be teleported to the ghost town again after dark. This time, I don't know how many hunters will be waiting for us there."

Yu Hanjiang walked to his side, gently hugged his shoulders and said, "But if we leave Qingfeng Town, after dark, will we be transported to another world like Mr. Shao and Brother Nine last time?"

Last time, their team was divided into three groups.Shao Qingge and Ye Qi were transported to the world 20 years ago at the gate of the town.The four of Brother Nine went to the woods, but returned to three years ago.

In other words, people who are within the scope of the town after dark will continue to stay in the "original world".And the challengers who leave the town will be teleported to other time points.It is still unclear how the teleportation is arranged. If they are also transported to the famine era 20 years ago, this secret room will not be able to pass the level.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang: "We must stay in the original world, not to mention that the murderer of the Shenhu case has no clue, Zhou Xiaoyun, the key figure in the ghost case, and the two murderers Qi Ran and Han Ningshuang have not been found either."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Well, we can only stay here. There are still too few clues about the sinking lake case, but what is certain is that the bride who hanged herself at the wedding and the groom who drowned in the river not long after were the same. The key person in the case. Generally, as long as the murderer is not impulsive and random, the first person he kills must be closely related to his motive for committing the crime. However, the person who was killed later may have been selected after psychological distortion Similar goals to satisfy my own psychological pleasure.”

According to the information obtained by Qu Wanyue and Liu Qiao from many sources in the town, on the eighth day of March two years ago, Long Yan, the third young master of the Long family, and Lin Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, got married. The marriage of the two young people is a well-matched family. The wedding was grand and many guests were invited.

The murderer should have entered the wedding banquet scene among the guests and killed the bride.However, it has been two years since the wedding banquet, so it is difficult to find out the complete list of guests who attended the banquet that day.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Lou had no choice but to say helplessly: "It seems that the investigation of the Shenhu case will have to wait until tomorrow. I don't know if there are other clues in the ghost town after dark this time."

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, then pressed the headset and said to his teammates: "It's getting dark, everyone, come to the [Tian] shop and join me and Xiao Lou, so as not to be attacked by hunters like last time."

After hearing this, the four immediately came to Xiao Lou's room to gather.

The woman whose hair can grow infinitely, and the woman with grimace doll makeup and red oiled paper umbrella that I met in the ghost town before are all very powerful hunters.This time in the secret room, the hunters seemed to be only able to haunt the maze of the ghost town at night, but no one came to disturb them during the day. I don't know if the hunters had restrictions on their identity in this secret room.

In short, the ghost town at night is extremely dangerous, and everyone must be fully prepared.

After a while, it was finally dark.

Qingfeng Town outside the window was shrouded in soft moonlight, and the black tree shadows were constantly shaking on the ground, like a devil with teeth and claws.There was no sound of any animals around, and it was eerily quiet, as if the six of them had been abandoned by the whole world.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, opened the window, and went down with his teammates.

This time the alleys were not as straight and endless as before, but curved instead, and the moon above was clearly visible.Lao Mo immediately said: "The alley is normal, we were not pulled into the field by that hunter."

Liu Qiao looked around and asked in a low voice, "She didn't come this time? Or is it that she doesn't want to use the same method a second time?"

Xiao Lou pricked up his ears alertly.There seemed to be no sound of hunters around, but Xiao Lou still did not dare to relax his vigilance, and said softly to his teammates: "Everyone, be careful, I will lead the way with Han Jiang, Long Sen and Wan Yue will follow with chameleon cards, Xiao Liu is the rear, In case someone sneaks up, use Aisha's ice storm to stop them first."

The six quickly stood in formation.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou walked in the front, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue used chameleon cards to hide their figures, behind Liu Qiao, Lao Mo took out the map of the maze drawn on a handkerchief to guide everyone, and they quickly walked out of the small room behind the inn. Lane, I saw the lake in the center of Qingfeng Town.

The familiar Zuiyue Lake is covered with fragments cast by the moonlight.Lao Mo squatted down, carefully observed the debris on the lake, and said: "Tonight's maze is still turning, turning 30 degrees in one hour, and returning to the original point in 12 hours. That is to say, if we want to leave this maze, we need Stay here for 12 hours, wait for the maze to return to the original point, and then go out from the previous exit."

Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice: "These 12 hours must be in survival mode. I don't know where the hunter is hiding."

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's go, everyone be careful."

They walked along the lake, and after only a certain distance, they suddenly heard the deafening sound of firecrackers around them. Liu Qiao, who was walking at the end, was startled, stopped immediately, and turned to look in the direction of the sound of firecrackers: " Setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night, could it be that the story of Miss Zhao Ze'an's marriage is going to repeat itself?"

When you first came to Night Ghost City, you saw Zhao Ze'an getting married. Are you here again today?

Lao Mo looked at the alley where the firecrackers were ringing, and said, "It shouldn't be the Zhao family, that alley is not right."

Although the maze will keep rotating and it is difficult to accurately identify the direction, but he remembers that the alley in front of Zhao's house did not have too many willow trees, and at this time, where the sound of firecrackers came, the whole street was full of willow trees. There are willow trees, and the willow branches and leaves on the roadside are staggered, swaying in the wind under the moonlight, like ghosts.

Xiao Lou said: "It's not the Zhao family...then it's the Long family."

Liu Qiao quickly realized: "Could it be the couple Long Yan and Lin Wanqing who had an accident at the wedding banquet two years ago?"

Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice: "The scene is reappearing again, go and have a look."

Following the sound of firecrackers, the six people walked to the street, and they saw a family's yard surrounded by red lanterns, and two "囍" characters were pasted on the gate.There were a few guards standing at the door, all wearing festive red clothes.

At this time, although the door was open, there were no guests coming in and out, and the wedding banquet might have already begun.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou, and asked softly, "Go straight in with the invisibility cloak? Or fly to the roof to have a look?"

Xiao Lou thought for a while, and said, "How about this, Long Sen and Wanyue sneak in to see the situation first, and we wait for news."

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue had already integrated the chameleon card with the floor. Hearing this, Qu Wanyue made a voice from the ground: "Okay, let's go in and find the way first."

The two entered the yard, and after a while, Qu Wanyue's voice came from Xiao Lou's earphones: "Professor Xiao, the bride and groom are paying their respects, and the guests don't look unusual. It should be the scene from two years ago."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and Xiao Lou nodded: "Go in with Qinggong."

After all, the invisibility cloak has a time limit of 30 minutes, so it needs to be used sparingly.Yu Hanjiang activated the qinggong card, took Xiao Lou and flew to the roof, Liu Qiao also activated the qinggong card, and used Thumbelina to make Lao Mo smaller, put it in his pocket, and flew to the roof.

The four of them chose a dark corner with the back of the light, and sneaked up on the roof, sticking their heads out to observe the situation in the yard.

"One bow to heaven and earth! Two bows to the high hall!"

"Husband and wife pay respects!" "Licheng!"

Sure enough, worship was going on in the hall. The bride covered her face with a red hijab so that she couldn't see her face clearly, while the groom was full of joy. After the worship, he smiled and bowed to the surrounding guests.

The groom has a full face, his eyes squint into a line when he smiles, he has big arms and a round waist. He is less than 1.7 meters tall and weighs more than 200 kilograms. On the other hand, the bride, although she can't see her face clearly, has a slim figure.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang connected with each other before entering the night ghost city. Seeing this scene, they said in their minds: "Although the groom's family is rich, his body and appearance are not suitable for the bride. His weight is estimated to be around More than three times as many brides... I don't know if the bride is willing to marry him?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "If the bride was forced, why did the murderer kill the bride?"

Xiao Lou thinks about it too, assuming that the murderer loves the bride deeply and has the idea of ​​killing because of "love can't be done", then if the bride is forced by her family, the murderer will not kill the bride, he is more likely to kill the groom and her family, and then take away the bride.

Yu Hanjiang followed up and said: "There are two possibilities. The first one is that the bride and the murderer originally had a deep relationship, but later because they were greedy for the money of the Long family, they changed their minds and agreed to their parents' arrangement to marry the fat and ugly Long family. San Shao, the murderer felt jealous because of this, killed the bride on the night of the wedding banquet, and killed Long San shortly thereafter, and then because of psychological distortion, killed many girls of the same age in the small town, and put these people in red clothes, dragged to In the lake."

Following this line of thought, Xiao Lou said: "The second option may be that the bride once offended the murderer, and when she was wearing the red dress, she left a serious psychological shadow on the murderer. The murderer hated the bride deeply, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the wedding banquet to kill her?"

——The distorted mentality caused by love and hatred, or did she hate her in the first place and revenge at the wedding banquet?

Xiao Lou raised his eyes and saw Xi Po supporting the bride into the new house, while the groom stayed in the yard with other guests to drink. He held a flagon and toasted table by table. .

Yu Hanjiang scanned the guest seats sharply, looking for anyone suspicious.

He saw the faces of many acquaintances.

Qin Feng was sitting at the table on the far left, and at the table next to him were Lin Feng, the head of the Lin family, and Lin Wanru, who had just been killed not long ago; two years ago, Lin Wanru was a girl around 16 years old, and Lin Wanqing was her cousin. Come with your parents to the wedding reception.

Yu Hanjiang said: "Just judging from their expressions, there is no obvious abnormality among these guests. All the seats are occupied by guests, and no one left the scene sneakily."

Who will be the murderer?Is it among the guests?

Yu Hanjiang was puzzled, suddenly, he thought of another possibility, and said, "Quick, go to the new house to see!"

After hearing this, Qu Wanyue immediately walked towards the new house with Long Sen.

When Xi Po took the bride away just now, they saw the location of the new house, and the two quickly arrived at the door of the new house. Xi Po and the maids seemed to have retreated, and it was very quiet inside.Qu Wanyue poked a hole in the window made of paper and looked in——

I saw a woman in red hanging on the hanging beam in the house, with a long tongue, she had lost her breath a long time ago.
