Card Room - 326. Mime private 476

[Chapter 476, clues]

When Xiao Lou heard the results found by Lao Mo and Liu Qiao, he was very puzzled.

Is the family missing strangely?

The house they infiltrated last night, there were more than a dozen maids and servants alone, and the young lady had just given birth to a child, so she would definitely not be able to get out of bed and walk around, and the cry of the child would disturb the neighbors nearby. Will all be gone silently overnight?

Unless it is taken away after being stunned, there will definitely be some noise when so many people leave in a group.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “Lao Mo, Xiao Liu, go to the inn and meet us first. This small town is a bit weird, so don’t act without permission, so as not to startle the snake.”

Liu Qiao replied: “Okay, Team Yu, we will pass.”

After a while, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou took the lead to the inn in the middle of the town with Long Qu and his wife.

This inn is called “Fu Lai Inn” and is located by Zuiyue Lake.

There were not many guests early in the morning. Just after the shop Xiaoer finished cleaning the room, he saw Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou and his party, and greeted them with a smile: “How many guest officials, do you want to eat or stay?”

Xiao Lou said warmly: “Give us two rooms.”

“Okay!” The shop second graciously invited them to go upstairs, while introducing, “The Tianzi and Dizi rooms on the second floor are empty. Please feel free to stay in the four of you. If you have any instructions, please call me at any time.”

“Thank you.” Xiao Lou sent the shop away, and the four of them settled in the room first. There were not many people in the inn in the morning, and it was inconvenient for them to directly inquire about the destruction of the Zhao family. Xiao Lou planned to go out after lunch time.

After a while, Lao Mo and Liu Qiao also moved into the inn. Liu Qiao walked into the room and closed the door, holding down the voice headset and saying, “Uncle Mo and I are in the’Yin’ room, Professor Xiao, where are you?”

Xiao Lou said: “Heaven and earth. Let’s pretend we don’t know each other and communicate with voice headsets.”

Lao Mo pressed his earphones and said, “I have just observed this inn. The lobby on the first floor is where you eat. There are a total of 16 rooms on the second floor. The names are Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, and Zi, Chou, The twelve earthly branches such as Yin and Mao. The entire inn has a back-shaped structure. The south-facing room faces the lake with the best view. The other three directions are all facing the street.”

He paused, and added: “Once there is an accident in the inn, the closest to the street is the window of the “Yin” room where Liu Qiao and I live. We can jump out of the window and escape, and it happens to be the corner of the street. Place.”

Lao Mo had developed the habit of drawing a map first when he went to a place. He was really afraid that he would encounter a maze again after entering a door.

Xiao Lou said gratifiedly: “Okay, I took it down.”

Yu Hanjiang asked, “Have you two go in to investigate the family just now?”

Liu Qiao said, “Uncle Mo was guarding outside at the time, and I sneaked in with a light power card while people were not paying attention. The yard was deserted, and there was no one on the ground. There were rotten branches and leaves everywhere. But strangely, the house was inside. There was no sign of a fight, and the bedding, tables and chairs were very neat. I found a letter in the host’s room and brought it out.”

Xiao Lou hurriedly asked: “What is the content of the letter?”

“It was a letter he wrote to his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, saying that his wife had just given birth to a son and was frail. He planned to take his wife and children to Qingzhou City to visit his father-in-law in half a year. The letter was signed by Chen Yu, the male of this family. The master should be called Chen Yu.”

“Chen Yu?” Yu Hanjiang frowned, “Are there any other clues?”

“Except for this letter, no clues were found.” Liu Qiao paused, and suddenly remembered something, and added, “By the way, I also found a child’s toy in the bedroom, which should have been given to the newborn. The child bought it.”

“What toy?” Yu Hanjiang asked.

“A red rattle.”

Xiao Lou: “…”

Rattle? Thinking of the rattle found in the Zhao family’s room just now, Xiao Lou couldn’t help but looked at Yu Hanjiang in confusion, “Is it a coincidence? We also found the rattle in the Zhao’s bedroom.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “There are not so many toys in ancient times. It is not unusual for the elders to buy a rattle to tease their children. This kind of toy is so common, it’s not a coincidence.”

Xiao Lou nodded in agreement: “Well, the’rattle’ toy really can’t explain the problem. However, there are still many similarities between the two families. First of all, there are no traces of fighting at the crime scene, and no blood stains are found. The Zhao family was destroyed, and the Chen family disappeared overnight, silently, like being…”

Yu Hanjiang continued his words: “Is it the same as being caught by a ghost?”

Long Sen heard his scalp numb, and couldn’t help but said, “If it is really a crime committed by a monster, it is difficult to explain it with common sense? The monster kills people without leaving a trace. It makes sense to eat the whole family… …”

Xiao Lou couldn’t laugh or cry: “Team Yu is just joking. Ghosts commit crimes and eat the whole family. I don’t think the Aces of Hearts will be so boring. Let us investigate this kind of illogical case. Besides, if it is really a ghost committing a crime, How to explain the mass graves on the cliffs outside the town?”

Long Sen was stunned, and patted his forehead with a sudden sense of enlightenment: “Yes! Will ghosts and monsters kill people and bury people in mass graves? This must be man-made. Moreover, the corpses are thrown in mass graves. The murderer had a great hatred with the Zhao family and the Chen family.”

Ye Qi was shopping for clothes in the shop. Hearing Xiao Lou’s discussion, he was desperately anxious, but couldn’t insert a word. When the shop owner saw the “girl” in front of her, her face blushed anxiously, and she couldn’t help but said: “Girl, don’t worry, there is no ready-made clothes for you in the store. We can also tailor-made them.”

Shao Qingge smiled and walked to Ye Qi’s side and asked, “What? Do you like it?”

Ye Qi picked up a blue men’s suit and said, “Just this one.”

The lady boss looked surprised and said, “Girl, this dress is for men. Would you like to pick it up over there?”

Shao Qingge leaned in the boss’s ear and explained in a low voice: “We two eloped.”

Ye Qi: “…” Eloped to your sister! Mr. Shao didn’t change his face when he talked about lies.

Just listen to Shao Qingge continue to say: “He wears men’s clothing and it is not easy to be found by his family. Boss, if someone comes to you and asks if you have seen a woman in red, please help us keep a secret.”

After he said, he took out an ingot of white silver from his purse and stuffed it into the hand of the proprietress.

The lady boss suddenly opened her eyes and smiled: “Don’t worry, son, I haven’t seen you at all today.”

Shao Qingge followed closely: “By the way, the boss, do you know where Chen Yu’s family lives? He and I were friends in childhood. I wanted to stay at his house this time, but the letter I wrote to him has been confiscated. To respond.”

The lady boss looked around for a while, and there was no one on the street nearby. She turned around nervously to close the door, then walked back to Shao Qingge, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: “The Chen family, they were three years ago, one night All of them have disappeared! The old people in the town said that the Chen family must have offended some evil, and was eaten by the demon.”

Shao Qingge’s face changed: “Demon?”

The lady boss nodded solemnly: “Yes. Since then, our town has set a rule. Once the night is over, you must never go out. People who go out will never go back.”

It happened that Ye Qi came out after changing into men’s clothing. She glanced at the men’s clothing Ye Qi and kindly said, “My son, you two newcomers, you must be careful at night. Once the time is over, there may be ghosts who will kill you.”

Ye Qi pretended to be afraid and hid beside Shao Qingge. Shao Qingge naturally wrapped his shoulders and comforted him softly: “Don’t be afraid, we are just passers-by, and we have no grievances and no grudges against the evil spirits here. It’s impossible to claim our lives.”

Ye Qi nodded, looked at the proprietress, and asked curiously: “Are there many people in the small town who were eaten by ghosts? Chen Yu is our friend. How could this happen?”

The proprietress sighed: “I don’t know. He usually looks very kind, and on the night of the accident, his wife just gave birth to a child. It is said that when the child was born, the sky was flashing red, very similar. It was the calamity star who came into the world…maybe it was the calamity star who hooked up the ghost.”

“…” Shao Qingge and Ye Qi looked at each other, looking at each other.

Calamity star, Li ghost, this statement is unreliable at first.

But Shao Qingge’s method of “spending money to inquire about news” was very reliable. After receiving the money, the proprietress was eloquent and told them a lot of bizarre legends, and the two at least determined the precise time of the crime.

Three years ago, July 14th, the day before Zhongyuan Festival.

Chen Yu’s wife gave birth to a child on this day. The Chen family disappeared collectively the next morning and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Shao Qingge asked: “Three years ago, did Chen Yu’s family only have an accident?”

The proprietress said mysteriously and secretly: “There is also the Zhao family. That day, Zhao Zean, the second young lady of the Zhao family, got married. It was originally a happy event, but the next day her fiance came to the door and said that she had not received the bride, and the people of the Zhao family It’s all gone.”

Ye Qi’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t believe it. “Is the whole family gone?”

The proprietress looked worried: “Yes, the matchmaker, Xi Niang, and those who left the town carrying the dowry are all gone. It’s really strange.”

Ye Qi looked horrified: “Is there really a ghost killing him?”

The lady boss said: “After that, we were afraid to go out at night. Over the years, many people have disappeared in the small town. They disappeared after going out at night. Every night when it gets dark, we all fall asleep. I persuade you The two of you should not go to Chen Yu’s house. The courtyard of his house hasn’t been inhabited for three years. It’s very evil! It’s better to find an inn to live in.”

Shao Qingge took out another silver coin from the purse and handed it to her, smiling and saying, “Thank you, madam, we are going to find an inn to settle down. The two of us are new here, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future.”

The proprietress quickly put the money into her pocket and narrowed her eyes: “It’s easy to say, you can ask me if you need help. I have lived here for more than 30 years and I am very familiar with the neighborhood!”

The two said goodbye to the boss and went out side by side.

Ye Qi replaced the cumbersome red dress with the top brand of the brothel, removed the jewels from his hair, and wore a clean and tidy blue gown with black boots. His long hair simply tied a ponytail behind his head. He was full of youthfulness. .

Shao Qingge felt that such a small leaf was more pleasing to the eye and full of vitality.

But at this moment Ye Qi’s eyes were full of doubts. He asked in Shao Qingge’s ear softly: “A ghost is killing me, do you believe it?”

Shao Qingge shrugged: “I am an atheist, but there is nothing impossible in the secret room. Didn’t we meet zombies last night? Professor Xiao and they also saw the ghost bride get married.”

Ye Qi shook the goosebumps all over his body: “It’s better to join them as soon as possible.”

The two came to the inn and checked into the “Xuan” room on the second floor.

Then, Shao Qingge pressed the bump on the earphone and told his teammates the result of the inquiry: “The incident was three years ago, the 14th of the lunar calendar, the day before the Chinese New Year. There are many in the town. People think that the Chen family and the Zhao family have done something bad, and that a ghost is coming to claim their lives.”

Xiao Lou frowned and said: “The Zhongyuan Festival is also called the Ghost Festival. It is said to be the day when the passage between the world and the ghost world is opened. It happened on the day before the Ghost Festival, and the two families disappeared so strangely. Residents will think of ghosts killing their lives.”

On the surface, it really seemed that the two family members had done something wrong and had suffered revenge from the ghost.

Yu Hanjiang said: “It seems that this’great ghost’ is the murderer.”

Ye Qi asked curiously, “How did the murderer manage so many people who disappeared overnight?”

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said: “The Zhao family’s mourning hall is full of spiritual positions, and some people are offering incense to the spiritual positions, which proves that the Zhao family’s people are not dead. It is probably what the Yu team and I speculated, the eldest son. Zhao Zeping’s wife and children escaped this disaster. We must find this survivor. Maybe she knows something?”

Yu Hanjiang said, “But what if she sneaks in incense every night?”

Xiao Lou was stunned: “This…at night, the town will become another world. Can’t we see her?”

“Well, this is the first problem.” Yu Hanjiang whispered, “We are challengers, not locals. Once night comes, we will be forcibly teleported to the night ghost town maze after entering the town. This is what we did last night. It has been tested. Many streets in the ghost town are empty, and the ghosts who stayed there should be ghosts who died unjustly.”

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci have been staying outside. Hearing this, Lu Jiuchuan interjected: “You mean, the town at night will be divided into two copies. The aborigines are still in their town, and we will be teleported to the ghost town? ”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Yes, during the day, we can go in and out of the town freely to investigate clues. At night is the real battle royale. If I guess right, the ghost who stayed in the ghost town at night, after discovering us, May attack us.”

Lu Jiuchuan said, “Then shall we leave the town before dark?”

Xiao Lou reluctantly pressed his temple: “Then you will never find clues, you can’t solve the bizarre disappearance of the two families, and you can’t get out of this secret room.”

Everyone: “…”

This is too bad.

If you don’t leave the town, you will be teleported to a maze full of ghosts at night. They left the town at dark, and they couldn’t find a complete clue. It was an endless loop.

The two worlds are forced to switch between day and night. Is this forcing them to go to the ghost town to be abused at night?

Yu Hanjiang whispered: “Do you have any suggestions?”

Xiao Lou said: “I want to go to the ghost town again at night. That ghost bride may appear again tonight. Although the ghost town is a survival copy, it is very dangerous, but it is also a clue copy. We must go to the ghost town to find clues.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
