deadly round table

Jiang Wenyuan's heart and lung function is now low, and he feels physically weak all the time. He tried to move Chen Yan's hands and feet wrapped around him, but he was locked up so tightly that he couldn't move.Jiang Wenyuan pursed his lips into a straight line, reached out to touch the itchy flesh on Chen Yan's waist, and his voice sounded in Chen Yan's ear, "Keep pretending to be asleep for me."

Chen Yan's long and thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes. She reluctantly let go of Jiang Wenyuan, and said softly, "The side room of our villa has only one floor, and it's snowing outside now. What do you think can appear on the roof of our building?"

Jiang Wenyuan didn't argue with Chen Yan, he sat up and carefully identified the dragging sound above the ceiling, and the dragging sound moved slowly towards the north.Chen Yan also sat up dawdly, she yawned and put on her coat, and handed him Jiang Wenyuan's coat by the way.As for Chen Mian and Qin Qiyue, it really made people wonder if they had taken strong sleeping pills. The two fell asleep with their heads covered, and they didn't notice any changes on the ceiling.

It didn't take long for the dragging sound to leave above their room. Jiang Wenyuan frowned. He remembered that in the northeast direction of the lotus room, in the lounge next to the dining room, there was a fireplace with a chimney.Was that thing that climbed up the roof trying to enter the house through the chimney?

Jiang Wenyuan rolled over and got out of bed, stepped on the soft cotton and dragged it close to the door. He opened the door a crack, put his ear on the crack to listen to the movement outside.He guessed right, the uninvited guest really jumped down from the chimney, and there was another loud bang when he landed.Immediately after the uninvited guest landed, there was a dragging sound, and he was still moving towards Jiang Wenyuan's room.

Chen Yan also got out of bed at some point, she leaned on the back of Jiang Wenyuan's hand holding the doorknob, closed the door gently, and shook her head silently at Jiang Wenyuan.

When the dragging sound passed by the door of the lotus room, there was a slight pause. Jiang Wenyuan and Chen Yan silently confronted the unknown object outside through the five-centimeter thick solid wood door.There is no cat's eye on the wooden door, and they don't know what is outside the door.

The unknown object didn't stay in front of the door of the lotus room for too long, and continued to drag it forward.

A few seconds later, Jiang Wenyuan and Chen Yan heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Judging by the distance of the sound, it was either the chrysanthemum room next to them, or another bamboo room adjacent to the chrysanthemum room.

Jiang Wenyuan had a good memory. He remembered that there were no players staying in the chrysanthemum room because it was unlucky, and that among the players living in the bamboo room was Brother Wolf who brought back the bone chess.Because Brother Lang and those who have touched bone chess have a fanatical admiration for chess, the players who originally lived with Brother Lang moved to other rooms and replaced them with people who are as interested in chess as Brother Lang. go in.

The possibility of an uninvited guest visiting the unoccupied Chrysanthemum Room in the middle of the night is extremely slim, so it can only be a visit to Brother Lang and the others who live in the Zhuzi Room.

Chen Yan couldn't hold back and yawned again. She gathered the coat on her body, "The uninvited guest has already identified the target, and the possibility of finding the next target tonight is almost zero. There is no point in wasting us here. Better go to bed."

The next morning, when Jiang Wenyuan woke up, the other three had already woken up.

Jiang Wenyuan's body's blood supply and oxygen supply were insufficient. After resting all night, his body's fatigue did not ease at all, and he had to slow down when he got up. , don’t pick bland food, try to eat high-calorie food, and don’t overeat.”

Qin Qiyue didn't know why, "May I ask the reason?"

Chen Yan sat on the edge of the bed in a dignified manner, and when Jiang Wenyuan was about to get out of bed, he helped him smoothly, "We may see pictures that cause discomfort later, making it hard to eat at noon and night, so Increase the calories. Don’t overeat, because you may vomit if you eat too much, and eating it is equivalent to not eating.”

Chen Mian's pretty sword eyebrows frowned, "Could it be that something happened last night? Why didn't you wake me up?"

With the help of Chen Yan, Jiang Wenyuan overcame the slight dizziness and walked a few steps inside the house. His face was bloodless, "The target of that unknown object is not us. It wakes you up. What if you suffer from insomnia in the middle of the night? .Don't worry, if there is any danger at night, I will definitely wake you up."

After receiving Jiang Wenyuan's explanation and comfort, Chen Mian's brows relaxed.

After breakfast, Jiang Wenyuan's face finally turned ruddy, "Let's go, go to Zhuzijian."

The door of Zhuzijian was not locked from the inside, Jiang Wenyuan turned the handle lightly, and the door opened.

The windows of the Zhuzijian were open, and the wind and snow kept pouring into the house, so the smell of blood in the house was not strong.The source of the smell of blood was two double beds, and four human figures bulged under the two quilts. Someone broke into the room, and they lay motionless on the bed.Jiang Wenyuan walked to one of the beds, lifted the heavy quilt, and revealed what was under the quilt——

That thing can no longer be called a human being.

Two ragged corpses lay on the bed. Like the twin sisters, they were brutally dismembered and their bones removed.However, there is one most obvious difference between them and their twin sisters. After their skulls were taken away, their brains were not taken away, but were crushed into a paste state.Chen Mian and Qin Qiyue went to check the two corpses on the other bed, and the other two corpses were the same, their brains were crushed into brain pulp.

The most ironic thing is the line of English written on the wall beside the bed. This line of English is written with brains mixed with blood, full of malice and killing intent: LOSER! KKKKIILLLLLLL! ! !

Jiang Wenyuan lifted all the quilts, put on gloves and groped among the pieces of meat, "Hurry up and find the bone chess piece brought back by Brother Wolf. Be careful, everyone, if you find the bone chess piece, Remember not to touch it directly with your hands."

The four of them searched the inside and outside of the bamboo calligraphy room, but they didn't find any trace of the bone chess piece.

Chen Yan put the quilt back on the corpse, "The murderer took away their bones, and the bone chess should not be left behind."

Qin Qiyue's senses are really bad now. He is very glad that he listened to Jiang Wenyuan's advice and ate a high-calorie breakfast that he would never eat in the past. He saw two corpses yesterday, and four corpses today. I don't think I can eat much for lunch or dinner.Qin Qiyue rubbed her twitching stomach, "Then as long as we find the missing bone chess piece, we will be able to lock down the murderer."

When Qin Qiyue said these words, she didn't expect that they would find the bone chess so quickly.

The bone chess is in the dining room of the main house of the villa——

The Jia chess player who vowed to accompany and comfort his wife yesterday, sat in front of the automatic chess machine again today, fighting back and forth with the machine on the chessboard.And the bone chess piece that was brought back to the side room of the villa by Brother Lang was impressively placed on the chessboard of the automatic chess machine.

Not only that, but there was an open box next to the chess table.There were four newly made bone chess sets in the box. The bone chess pieces were not well polished, but the engraving alone was enough to prove that these four new sets of bone chess pieces and the bone chess pieces Jia chess player was using were made by the same person.The box containing the newly made bone chess is also full of malice. After placing four sets of bone chess, there is still enough space in the box to put more than a dozen sets of bone chess.

The murderer who killed the four players didn't seem to want to hide his identity at all.

Qin Qiyue is of high quality, but he is still a rookie. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed Jia Qishou by the collar with both hands and lifted him up from the chair, "Jia Qishou, you madman, murderer! !"

Chess player Jia's face was full of confusion and anger, "I didn't kill anyone! You are the lunatic, let me go! My chess game is at a critical moment now, let me continue playing, I can win!"

The Qi player Jia was surprisingly strong, Qin Qiyue fell a few meters away after being pushed lightly by him, and didn't get up for a long time.Chess player Jia returned to the automatic chess machine and continued the game with a calm mind.With Qin Qiyue's lessons learned, no one dared to bother Jia chess player this time. If there is any problem, they can only wait until Jia chess player finishes playing the chess.

Chess player Jia brought his chess power to the extreme, but unfortunately he failed to win the game. The victory belongs to the automatic chess machine.Jia Qishou actually won the last game with great reluctance. He lost this game, but he didn't feel lost because of it. On the contrary, he became more motivated.He firmly believes that as long as he continues to practice chess with the automatic chess machine, he will become stronger. One day, he will be able to fulfill his father's last wish and become the No.1 chess player in the world!

Chess player Jia calmed down a bit, and while he was playing the game, he asked Jiang Wenyuan and the others: "You interrupted my train of thought just now, and you called me a murderer, what's going on?"

Jiang Wenyuan pointed to the black and white pieces on the automatic chess board, "Jia Chess Player, these pieces are made from the bones of your two daughters. And the new box next to it is the four of us. Made of the bones of our companions."

As if struck by lightning, Chess player Jia froze and remained motionless. The chess pieces he loves to play and clean today are the bones of Yueqi and Aiqi?After a long time, Chess player Jia regained his voice. He held all the finished chess pieces in his palm and said to Jiang Wenyuan tremblingly, "Tell me again, what are these chess pieces made of?"

Jiang Wenyuan gave the answer clearly again, "These chess pieces are the bones of your two daughters. Please look at the box at your feet. The four new chess sets in the box are made of the bones of our four dead companions. It’s done. The brains of the four companions were crushed into a paste, but we haven’t found where the brains of the two young ladies are yet.”

Chess player Jia carefully held the bone chess, with tears streaming down his face, "My daughters... how much pain they must have had when they died... how much did the murderer who killed you hate me, that he would let me use it? The bones of Yueqi and Aiqi are used as chess pieces? I know who killed them! These four sets of chess pieces were found by Housekeeper Jia in my study this morning. She thought they were Engineer Zhou who repaired the automatic chess machine and talked about it The assistant gave me spare pieces, so I put them next to the chess table."

"If these four sets of spare chess came from your companions, Engineer Zhou and Assistant Tan should still be on the mountain! They are the murderers who killed my daughter!" Chess player Jia's eyes were full of hatred, when he saw Qin Qiyue's expression When he read out his doubts, his mood was even more sorrowful and indignant, "Don't you suspect that I killed my daughter frantically, and then framed Engineer Zhou and Assistant Tan?"

Qin Qiyue learned his lesson and kept a sufficient distance from Jia chess player, "You have scars left by the carving knife on your hand. These scars were not there yesterday."

The movement on the side of the chess table has already attracted those guests who are still stranded in the villa. Chess player Jia suppressed his anger and said: "I have a hobby of carving, and these wounds were created by me last night for Yueqi and Aiqi. It was injured while carving the tablet. My wife can testify to me that the carved tablet is still in the study."

Jiang Wenyuan said in a volume that most people in the restaurant could hear: "Jia Chess Player, although there are many evidences pointing to you, I believe you will not kill your daughter. You still shoulder the responsibility of your father Jia Changsheng." Last wish. The world's number one chess player must not be a murderer. Even if you are really suspected of murder, you can't put the chess pieces made of your daughter's bones in the restaurant under the eyes of everyone, can you? "

Jiang Wenyuan's analysis is well-founded and well-controlled rumors that are not conducive to Jia chess players.Player Jia received Jiang Wenyuan's kindness, and his attitude towards them became a little bit better, "Thank you for helping me find the bones of Yueqi and Aiqi, but the work of solving the case should be left to the police. You can go to the side of the villa. I will not charge you any fees until the wind and snow pass and the roads and bridges are repaired."

Jiang Wenyuan looked directly into Jia Qishou's eyes, "Even if we can help you find the lost brains of the two daughters, don't you need our help?"

Jia Qishou looked at Jiang Wenyuan silently, silently expressing his rejection.

Jiang Wenyuan thought for a while, then nodded at Chess Player Jia, "I understand what you mean, then we will excuse you."

Unexpectedly, when they left, an accident happened. Chen Mian tripped over something and fell on the chessboard of the automatic chess machine.Chen Mian was a little confused by the fall, and his mouth was one step ahead of his brain, "Why is there a sound of liquid shaking in this chess table?"

Chen Mian's voice was not loud, but he managed to make the huge restaurant fall into dead silence.

The core part of an automatic chess machine should be a system with powerful data processing capabilities and logical computing capabilities, which can complete high-quality chess games.Such a system should be a fully mechanized computer. How could there be liquid in the machine?These liquids are definitely not part of the computer, reminding of the things lost by the twin sisters——

Qin Qiyue murmured: "Could it be that the brains of the twin sisters are in this chess table? The liquid in the chess table is bionic tissue fluid, which is used to prove the brain's activity." He looked at Jia Qishou, "Jia Qishou, don't you Are you willing to let us continue to investigate the whereabouts of the brains of the two daughters? Is it because you know that their brains are likely to be in this chess table! Can they all be used?"

Chess player Jia blushed from Qin Qiyue's repeated questioning. He said angrily, "Housekeeper Jia, send these guests back to the east room. I don't feel well, so I'll go back and rest for a while. Butler, let people look after this room." No one is allowed to touch the chess table, and everything will be discussed when the police arrive.”

The four of Jiang Wenyuan were guests, and they could do whatever they wanted, so they could only follow Housekeeper Jia back to the side room of the villa, otherwise they would fight back and be driven out of the villa, freezing to death in the ice and snow, that would be a joke among the players.

Back in their room, Qin Qiyue excitedly walked back and forth several times in the room, and analyzed at a very fast speed: "When that chess player Jia found out that the chess piece was the bones of twins, he must have immediately understood that their brains were made into automatic worlds. The core of the chess machine. This should not come to mind by accident. The automatic chess machine has undergone two overhauls, and the first overhaul is the same as now. The chess power of the automatic chess machine has skyrocketed. The time of the overhaul happened to be in Before and after Jia Changsheng's death! Jia Changsheng's brain is likely to be the first-generation biological center of an automatic chess machine!"

Chen Yan smiled and applauded Qin Qiyue, and praised: "It's amazing, newcomer. I think so too! What do you think, Mr. Jiang Shuai and Mr. Chen Mian?"

Chen Mian didn't listen carefully at first, and only recovered after Chen Yan yelled several times.He ignored Chen Yan's question, and grabbed Jiang Wenyuan's arm like a life-saving straw, "I just touched the chess table of the automatic chess machine, but those chess pieces were taken away by Chess player Jia, I didn't touch them." Chess piece, monsters won't come looking for me tonight, will they?"

Jiang Wenyuan said calmly: "Whether the monster will come or not, I don't know. If the monster really comes to you, you can just fight. Brother Wolf and the others have written on the wall in their room English words to kill the loser. If you win, you will win." Will it survive?"

Chen Mian looked at Jiang Wenyuan in disbelief, "This is the end? Don't you plan to help me?"

"How can I help you? I only know the basic rules of chess, and I'm not good at it. You have passed the chess exam. If you want to say which of us has a better chance of winning, of course it is you." Jiang Wenyuan stood now He would feel tired after a long time, so he sat softly on the bed, "If the monster comes to you at that time, I will cheer for you and help you reduce your fear as much as possible."

"..." Chen Mian really didn't want this kind of help, he swallowed hard, "I haven't played chess for a long time, and I have no chance of winning against that kind of world-class monster, for sure I will lose badly. Jiang Shuai, please help me." At the end, Chen Mian felt like a spoiled child.

Jiang Wenyuan rubbed his chin, "Then I won't help you either."

"I'm really not joking with you, chess, I really can't." Chen Mian looked at Jiang Wenyuan sadly, "Aren't I the most important person in this world to you, even if you want you to die for me, Are you willing?"

Jiang Wenyuan put down the hand holding his chin, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Yes, Chen Mian is very important to me, I can give my life for Chen Mian. But, are you my Chen Mian?"

Chen Mian was really surprised this time. His expression was so wonderful that he could only use the four words "Heaven and Earth Rip" to describe, "You, you, you! Why does the doll's ability fail! Do you have a special doll that can counter my doll's ability? ?”
