Chapter 9: Chu Wei's Diary

Waiting for the light to be restored, the little girl ran back to Ling Yi for the first time, looking at the blood on the wall in horror, she involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Uncle, he ......"

The little girl was extremely frightened, she pulled Ling Yi's cuffs tightly, and her eyes were full of horror.

For a few seconds, Ling Yi stood in place.

In front of his eyes, the life that was fresh a moment ago has now turned into a cold corpse!

"What are you doing in a daze?" the man in white shouted, "Hurry up and find clues!"

Closing his eyes, Ling Yi clenched his fists hard.

"Big Brother ......"

The little girl looked up at Ling Yi's fair face and shook his arm gently.

"Let's go. ”

Reopening his eyes, Ling Yi grabbed the little girl's hand and hurried to the next carriage without looking back.

Entering the ninth car, unlike the previous hard seats, this is a dining car, and the aisle looks much looser, with tables and seats neatly arranged on both sides.

"There was no note in the seat. ”

The cowardly man knelt on the ground, scanning back and forth under his seat.

"If you can't do it, keep going, maybe the important clues are hidden in the sleeper!"

The man in white glanced at the surrounding environment, raised his feet and planned to rush to the back carriage.

"Wait a minute. ”

Ling Yi called out to the three people who were about to leave: "There is a painting on the wall. ”

Following Ling Yi's voice, the strong man also noticed that there was an oil painting pasted on the connection of the train carriages, the paper was shabby, but the characters on it were still clearly visible.

Everyone came to the oil painting and looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see any useful clues.

"Could it be a deliberate attempt to delay our time?"

The strong man's eyes were fixed on the door of the carriage, as if something would pop up there at any moment.

Ling Yi didn't reply, just silently looked at every detail in the oil painting.

The overall painting is a yellow color with a sense of age, and it depicts a group of people of different ages eating at a long table in a church with Western characteristics.

In the center of the picture, a man with long brown hair lowers his eyes and signals everyone to eat.

The painting is full of holes, and parts of it seem to have been torn down.

"This painting is the famous 'Last Supper', why is it posted here?" the cowardly man whispered, "I remember that there were thirteen characters in the original painting, but there were four people missing. ”

Ling Yi also noticed that the rightmost part of the oil painting was gone, and in his impression, it should be the three people chatting and the one looking to the other side.

"Let's write it down...... If you delay so much longer, the lights will be turned off again in a while. ”

As he spoke, the man in white led the way to the sleeper area.

Walking beside Ling Yi, the cowardly man whispered, "I know you hate me because of what happened before...... But if you want to take revenge, you have to have your life to get out. ”

With that, the cowardly man followed the strong man, leaving only Ling Yi and the little girl at the back of the line.

When you come to the sleeper car, it becomes much more difficult to search for clues, and you need to look at the upper, middle and lower berths to get through.

The strong man, because of his strong body, was inconvenient to go up and down the escalator, so he could only search for the middle and lower bunks, while the little girl, who was petite, was responsible for visiting the ground part of each sleeper.

"How much time do we have left?"

The man in white flipped the futon on the bed and said angrily.

Ling Yi silently counted the seconds in his heart and responded, "According to the previous inference, we should only have less than two minutes of activity time limit this time, but the time has just passed......"

As soon as he heard this, the man in white instantly came to his senses: "Could it be that we have already escaped!"

"How is it possible...... Ling Yi sneered, "I guess it's because of the difficulty of the game, in order to make it not so easy for us to be wiped out, there is a lower limit to its time shortening...... The last time the lights were off did not increase, which means that the duration of the lights did not decrease after 3 minutes and 30 seconds. ”

With a "phew", the man in white ignored Ling Yi and continued to rummage.

"Come here!"

The strong man shouted, "What do you see here?"

Hearing the sound, Ling Yi saw that in the middle of the aisle, there was a dark red notepad lying flat on the bed under No. 9.

Gently picking up the notepad, Ling Yi noticed that some parts of the notebook had a small amount of dust on it.

"Have you touched it?"

Ling Yi asked.

The strong man spread his hands and said that he had not moved.

Thinking back to the position of several people in the previous carriage, from front to back, there were strong men, men in white, weak and cowardly men, little girls, and themselves...... In this order, if the first strong man to discover the notepad had not touched it, the others would not have had a chance to get up close and personal with it.

"Before we found out, this book had already been touched. ”

Ling Yi looked at the headlights, and could probably see that there were a few fingerprint-shaped places on them that were free of dust, and judging by the size of the fingerprints, the person who moved the notepad should be an adult.

"You mean, except for us...... Is there anyone else on this train?" the cowardly man looked around warily.

"That's right...... And this 'person' is very likely to be the murderer who killed everyone, or the mastermind behind this hunting game. Ling Yi pinched the notepad slightly, it was very thin.

"Look at what's written in it. The strong man urged impatiently.

Ling Yi opened the notepad, and on the first page, there were a few eye-catching big characters written in black pen: Chu Wei's diary.

"Chu Wei?"

The little girl looked at Ling Yi strangely: "Could it be the name of the big sister before?"

"Shut up!"

The man in white directly and rudely covered the little girl's mouth: "Let him think about it, what clues are there!"

Opening the diary under the expectant gaze of several people, Ling Yi saw that it marked the time: 3189, January, 24.

"Ten years ago?" The man in white also saw the contents of the diary and said in surprise, "We can't have traveled to some supernatural event ten years ago, right?"

"Could it be that the purpose of this game is to solve a certain unsolved case of the year?"

The cowardly man thought for a while and said, "That is to say, only if we find out the truth of the case, or find out the murderer at that time, can we pass the test?"

"Quite possibly!"

The man in white nodded vigorously.

The first diary entry was short, with only one line: "I'm so glad! He praised me today!"

Ling Yi turned the second page repeatedly, and the date on it was: March 16, 3189.

There is also only one sentence: "I went to the hospital for a check-up, what should I do...... Do you want to tell him?"

"What is this written, it's a mess!"

The strong man's teeth itched, but he was helpless about it.

Ling Yi continued to look at the third page of his diary, which read: "3189, May 20...... He asked me what was wrong today, what should I do, and if I wanted to tell him, but ......"

"The first few diaries seem to be talking about the same thing, who is he, what secrets does this Chu Wei have to hide from the other party?"

The cowardly man pondered and meditated for a long time, but he couldn't make sense.

Continuing to scroll down, Ling Yi found that the fourth and fifth pages of the diary were missing, and the incisions on the edge of the notebook were not neat, as if they had been torn off in a panic!

September 17, 3189...... It makes me so sad when he talks about it, even if I don't like it anymore, she's innocent, isn't she?"

Ling flipped through it again and again, and the next few pages were torn off, and only one article was left that could be read.

December 4, 3189...... This is my last hope, the winter is so cold, and my heart is so cold...... It's time for me to go. ”

The last page was also torn out, and the entire diary was only a few dozen words, and the events described were also vague, as if it was only a record of the mood of the diary's owner that day.

"What the hell do you mean?" the strong man pulled the man in white, "Do you understand?"

"Looks ...... It's kind of like a story of a couple quarreling and breaking up...... But this doesn't mean anything, who is the murderer, is it him?, but here he doesn't even say who he is!" The man in white covered his forehead, but his eyes kept paying attention to Ling Yi's actions.

"Vendetta, love?" the cowardly man muttered quietly.

Ling Yi closed the diary, constantly imagining Chu Wei's situation at that time in his mind...... Judging from the expression in the diary, Chu Wei does have hatred for "him", but the degree of hatred does not seem to be strong, but more disappointed!

"If you think about it another way...... Could it be that he killed Chu Wei in the end?"

Ling Yi kept making assumptions in his heart: "If he finally killed Chu Wei, what was the motive for committing the crime? Is there a secret mentioned in the diary? But what kind of secret can force him to choose to kill people...... What's more, the other party is likely to be the person I have always loved!"

"Even if all of these assumptions are true, what does this murder have to do with the undead train......? The murderer was a hand on the train......"

Ling Yi kept making up the picture at that time, but he always had an intuition that the direction of his investigation seemed to be caught in some kind of cycle, although he had touched the core of the case, he still passed by the truth!

Just as Ling Yi was thinking about the whole case with all his might, all the lights in the carriage suddenly began to flicker brightly and dimly!

"Just a little bit...... Did I miss an important clue?"

The world in front of Ling Yi's eyes began to alternate between black and white, and the hunting moment was about to begin!

"Chu Wei, the train, the secret, the note, the diary, he, the black coffin, the chaotic time and space ......"

In an instant, darkness seemed to cover the whole world, and in the panic, Ling Yi heard the sound of someone banging on the door of the carriage!

"And ...... Oil Painting ......"

Ling Yi sat alone on the hard bed in the lower bunk, and at this time all he had in his mind was the puzzle and the answer that was about to come out!

"The Last Supper......"

Ling Yi pinched his chin and recalled everything that had happened since he got into the car.

"It's possible that from the very beginning my thinking fell into some kind of misunderstanding...... The case of ten years ago may not be a simple homicide!"

Chu Wei...... Undead Train...... 9 people, 9th car, sleeper 9...... All the information seems to point to the same fact!

When all the clips were connected together, Ling Yi's thoughts began to become clear!

"Original...... That's it...... ”

Ling Yi looked at everything in the pitch black in front of him and muttered, "The secret of the undead train has been solved!"
