sunk in yesterday

Yang Yin is dead.

Her body was there, but no one bothered to look at her carefully, and none of them could connect the emaciated figure with the shrewd-looking woman.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." 2 minutes after the air condensed, Ge Rongrong, who was still the most vulnerable, cried out.She had suppressed it for too long, and once the tears fell, she couldn't stop, "Sister Yang, she told me the other day..."

He Jia handed her a tissue.

"Thank you, thank you..." Ge Rongrong took it and blew her nose, crying even more sadly, "Because I want to go to medical university, I asked her why I became a forensic doctor... Sister Yang said that she did it for her sister case, but until now, that case has not been solved... She has not fulfilled her wish..."

Xia Zhuo saw her crying so badly, talking while lacking oxygen, looking like she was about to faint, and couldn't bear to tell her the truth of last night.

Zhao Bin scratched his hair impatiently, "What are we going to do now?" Suddenly there was no leader in the crowd, and he fell into a momentary confusion, "By the way, there is one more person, where is Wan An?"

"He never came down?"

"No." Zhao Bin shook his head. "Wan'an always comes early. Could something happen, why don't you go and see? It's safer to have more people than less people."

He Jia hugged his arm, not daring to look at the corpse, "I can go anywhere, I don't want to stay in the living room anymore."

"Then you go first, I want to eat something." Xia Zhuo was a little repulsed by collective action, and he was really hungry.

Zhao Bin sighed, "Don't think about it, the consultant didn't show up at all today, let alone prepare us some breakfast, the ones on the table are all leftovers from last night."

Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou glanced at each other, and at the same time turned and walked in the opposite direction.

"Where are you going?"

Zhao Bin asked, but neither of them answered. Instead, Ke Jingsheng followed quickly, followed behind and raised his voice to ask, "Do you know what happened last night?"

Xia Zhuo didn't turn her head back, "So what? Even if you know, you can't do anything."

Ke Jingsheng frowned, then relaxed again.He admits that this sentence is true. They have too few clues. During the day, they are either catching up on sleep or gathering people to pass the time. At night, they spend the night in the room with fear. They have no right to accuse those who are trying to figure out the plot of not being united.

Xia Zhuo didn't bother to think about what was going on in his mind, and before he reached the door where the pendulum clock was stored, he couldn't stop the sound of "ho".

The door was gone.

There is only a white wall next to the restaurant, let alone a door, not even a crack.

Ke Jingsheng, who followed closely, also saw something was wrong, "Isn't there a room here?"

"Don't you want to know what happened last night?" Xia Zhuo folded his arms on his chest and said impatiently: "The bodies of the two participants who came in with us are here. Xu Heze wants to kill seven people in total. Now Counting Yang Yin, there are four left, so be careful."

Ke Jingsheng was surprised, "Xu Heze wants to kill us?"

"Let's go." Guan Yuzhou held Xia Zhuo's waist, not allowing him to say a word to Ke Jingsheng.Xia Zhuo didn't want to waste any more time. Since the consultant didn't show up, today should be counted as the third day. The fourth room should be opened, and they have to go up and have a look.

When he was about to reach the stairs, Xia Zhuo suddenly thought of a question.He glanced at Zhao Bin and He Jia who were standing together, pointed to his face and asked, "Did you see anything dirty?"

He felt very strange, why no one asked his eyes for so long?

Can you not see such big red pupils?

Zhao Bin was still immersed in what he said to Ke Jingsheng just now, and subconsciously shook his head, "No."

Xia Zhuo was even more puzzled, and confirmed with He Jia again.

He Jia also shook her head, "No... what kind of dirty thing?" Although she restrained herself, there was a little panic in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Xia Zhuo would say something scary.

Their demeanor did not seem to be fake, Xia Zhuo paused, "It's nothing."

The two went back to Xia Zhuo's room first to check if there was anything unusual during his absence.He took a special look in the mirror, and his eyes were indeed still red. Since Guan Yuzhou could see it, why couldn't others see it?

Could it be that only those who have been in contact with Xu Mengzhi can see it?

He was lost in thought to himself, and suddenly a second face appeared in the mirror.

"...Why did you come here without saying a word, you scared me!" He complained and looked back at Guan Yuzhou.

"There is something." Guan Yuzhou pulled him out of the cramped bathroom, "I observed Yang Yin when I left, and found something wrong."

"what?"

Guan Yuzhou squeezed his shoulder and pointed him to the location, "There are corpse spots on her back shoulder."

"Corpse spots?"

"Well, usually corpse spots don't appear until two to four hours after a person's death, so she didn't just die, but died in the early morning." Guan Yuzhou tapped the position of the light watch on her wrist, "Since it wasn't an instant death, then It wasn't her who triggered the death condition just now."

Xia Zhuo took a breath, "Who died at the same time as she fell?"

But Wan An was the only one who wasn't in the living room just now!

"Little Zhuo, look up." Guan Yuzhou lifted his chin slightly and called out to him.

Xia Zhuo looked up, and saw a few dark shadows on the ceiling next to the wall, as if some liquid had seeped from the roof.

The outer circle of the shadow is faintly yellow, not like water, more like oil.

His upstairs is the old master's bedroom, and the seepage here... should correspond to the bed in the bedroom.

He thought for a while and asked Guan Yuzhou's opinion: "Do you want to go up and have a look? Xu Heze is probably upstairs now."

"Must go." Guan Yuzhou stretched out a hand towards him, smiled, "Let's go."

They pushed open the door, but met four other people at the stairs, and they seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

Ke Jingsheng was a little embarrassed, "Can I be with you? Although it's embarrassing to say this, we really dare not go up by ourselves."

Xia Zhuo glanced at their faces, and said with a smile: "If you can block the knife for me and Guan Qiang at a critical time, then let's go together."

He Jia flinched obviously.

"I can!"

Xia Zhuo didn't expect that it was Ge Rongrong who stood up at this time. Her eyes were still swollen like walnuts, but she resolutely raised her arms high.He raised his lips and said, "Okay, then you come here, we will take you."

Ge Rongrong cast a coveted glance at Ke Jingsheng, and asked in a low voice, "Well, can you bring Brother Sheng with you?"

"You are too much of a fan." Xia Zhuo couldn't help complaining, and walked around them to the third floor, "You can do whatever you want, but don't hinder the two of us."

Ke Jingsheng hurriedly said, "Thank you."

"Thank you?" Xia Zhuo turned his face and showed a weird smile, "Thank us for taking you to death later?"

Ke Jingsheng: "..."

"Pfft." Xia Zhuo couldn't help laughing, and wanted to tease a few more words when Guan Yuzhou suddenly pinched the back of his neck.He turned his head to meet the gloomy gaze of the man, restrained himself for a second, and obediently followed him up, not daring to make any mistakes again.

It was clear that he was just trying to scare people for fun, but Guan Yuzhou wanted to label him as a hooker, which was really unreasonable.

The door of the fourth room was not opened for the time being, Xia Zhuo glanced at it, and continued walking with Guan Yuzhou.

As soon as he approached the door of the master bedroom in his hometown, a faint rancid smell wafted over. Xia Zhuo held his breath and made a mental construction. Guan Yuzhou pushed the door open in front of him.

The ventilation equipment was still running and the windows were wide open, but the strong smell in the air could no longer be concealed.Except for Ke Jingsheng, it was the first time for the other three people to step into this place. He Jia pinched her nose, but the smell could not be breathed in through the nostrils, so she poured it into the airway along her mouth, and she retched within two seconds. .

Xia Zhuo originally thought that his ability to bear was already very low, but he did not expect He Jia to be weaker than him.

He stepped on the floor under his feet, and there was some black liquid in the gap near the bed, mixed with some small foam, which was easily overlooked if he didn't look closely, but he would inevitably feel sick when he looked closely.

There is no place to put things under the bed, but the liquid, including the marks seen from the ceiling of his room, did seep from under the bed.

He lifted up the corner of the bed sheet hanging on the ground, but Guan Yuzhou snatched the piece of cloth from his hand, and with a pull of his arm, all the items on the bed, including the quilt and pillow, were thrown to the ground.

Last time, they briefly checked whether there was anything hidden under the sheets and mattresses, but found nothing.This time, Guan Yuzhou pulled up the heavy mattress below with all his might, and the dust that had been silent for a long time flew everywhere, choking Xia Zhuo, who was standing aside, couldn't help coughing, and retched halfway through the cough. There was a secret compartment, and the smell emanated from the secret compartment. Without the cover of the upper layer, it went straight to the face, forcing the surrounding people to take a step back.

"Ah!!!" He Jia suddenly yelled, "Head! He has a head!"

She turned her back to everyone, pointing at the door with her hands shaking like chaff.

A head was nailed to the door with long nails. His eyes were glaring, his mouth was wide open, and his pupils still reflected the panic and disbelief before he died.

Although the flesh on his face was beginning to rot, and his hair was plucked in a mess, Xia Zhuo might as well recognize his identity at a glance—this is the old Patriarch Xu.

He had seen this head in a dream.

"Why are you here? First Yang Yin died, and now there are other corpses—" He Jia also collapsed, her fingernails almost embedded in the flesh of Zhao Bin's arm.

Xia Zhuo didn't feel much about it, he was just disgusted by the smell.He even leaned over to take a closer look, and found that the tongue in his mouth had been cut off. He put aside the speculation that he was afraid that the other party would kill himself by biting his tongue. He thought it should be done out of deep hatred.

This thing hadn't appeared in the previous few visits, but it just came out today. He had a guess about what was hidden in the hidden compartment under the bed. Sure enough, when Guan Yuzhou lifted the wooden board, a few big black garbage were exposed underneath. bag.

He Jia's face was pale, and Xia Zhuo guessed that she now regretted coming to the third floor together.

Obviously, everyone knew what was in it. After all, there was a clump of hair that was left aside. With the dripping blood, they didn't want to think about it.

The weather is not too hot and the room is well ventilated.But after all, being stuffed under the bed, ventilation can only dissipate the strange smell overflowing from the surface, but it can't play a role in keeping it fresh.

Guan Yuzhou put on disposable kitchen gloves and untied one of the top knots.

It was full of minced raw meat.

More than half of one bag of meat was missing, leaving only a little residue.

Xia Zhuo looked back at them, "Do you now know what the mutton soup you ate that night was?"

"Ouch—" He Jia didn't say anything this time, she just bent over and vomited.

The author says:

I originally assigned Yang Yin the job of forensic doctor to let her find out that other people have corpse spots... But I accidentally killed her, so I can only give the lines to Guan Yuzhou. =m=
