Chapter Twenty-Five: The Second Night
When it was dark, the crowd fell into a deep sleep again.
Wei Liang lay quietly on the bed, his expression was flat, there was no fear, no anxiety, as if nothing could scare him, including death.
Tintin didn't shrink under the bed again, knowing that the stupid behavior didn't have any effect, and it was really uncomfortable to sleep on the floor. She lay on the bed, her body curled up tightly, like a baby. From the point of view of sleeping position, this is a table of insecurity.
The shadow reappeared, like an assassin in the darkness, ready to take a life at any moment. The knife in his hand was so sharp, Sen Sen was cold, flashing with coldness, and there were still blood stains on his face with the national character.
He didn't rush to kill, the night was long, and there was time.
He sat on the couch on the first floor and peeled another apple. Since he was a child, he liked to eat apples, which were cheap, healthy, and much more affordable than those imported exotic fruits. When an apple was finished, he did not immediately move, but leaned back on the couch, his eyes closed, his head tilted, as if asleep, and as if he was lost in thought.
After a long time, about half an hour, he jerked to his feet and made up his mind. Take out the wet wipes and wipe the juice on the fruit knife clean, the blade becomes cleaner and brighter, and the killing of people is more painful and neat.
He walked upstairs step by step with a steady pace.
……
Next.
Tintin opened her eyes and saw the warm, bright light, and she knew she was alive again. The first thing I did when I woke up was to run out, come to the door of No. 7, and knock violently: "Wei Liang, are you awake?" ”
Wei Liang opened the door, sleepy-eyed, and said, "I'm fine." ”
Ding Ding smiled and said, "God favors us, and we have survived again." ”
Wei Liang smiled: "Thank you for your concern." ”
Ding Ding also smiled: "You're welcome, who made us friends." ”
For friendship, Wei Liang doesn't attach much importance to it. In his concept, friends can become enemies at any time, and enemies can become friends at any time, just using each other. And the little girl in front of her may be kind by nature, or she may not have deep social experience, and she still retains a sense of simplicity.
Wei Liang smiled: "Wait for me to wash up, and then see which unlucky guy is dead, and then find out the real murderer by the way." ”
Ding Ding asked in a low voice, "Is the murderer really Major General Bai?" ”
Wei Liang smiled: "** not far from ten." ”
Ding Ding nodded and said, "I believe in you." ”
Twenty minutes later, Wei Liang and Ding Ding walked downstairs. There were already three people sitting on the sofa on the first floor, namely Liu Mang, a handsome man, and a shark head.
Liu Mang didn't want to see Ding Ding, but after Ding Ding said goodbye to him yesterday, he put aside his prejudices and greeted him with a smile: "You two are unscathed, which is a good thing." Let's be friends, if you have three long and two short, your brother will feel uncomfortable. If he knew that the two of them had been wronged in the first place to kill him, he didn't know how to feel.
Wei Liang smiled: "I'm also happy to see that you're okay." ”
At this time, the girl in the white dress also came down, limping, more strict than yesterday, and even had to hold on to the wall when she walked.
Liu Mang didn't like her in the first place, so he fell into the well and said, "Little sister, you were sunburned again last night?" ”
The girl in the white dress was pale, and she didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, so she finally came over, slowly sat down on the sofa, her buttocks just fell, as if she had poked the pain, and quickly stood up, adjusted her position, and leaned her body, which made her feel more comfortable.
Shark Head didn't hate the girl, but had a faint pity, and he didn't understand why those people were targeting her. He didn't believe those rumors, he only believed what he saw, this is a helpless little girl, where is it as terrible as they say? He asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The girl in the white dress wanted to say goodbye, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she choked up: "That beast, last night ...... again"
Liu Mang naturally understood when he heard this, and snorted in a low voice: "Sure enough, as I expected, it was the sun again." ”
The shark slammed his head into the couch and scolded, "Beast! This is still an immature child, and he can do it! ”
Liu Mang smiled: "You are also salty and eat radishes and worry about it, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Sue you, the murderer is likely to be hidden among us, you are scolding him like this now, be careful to explode your chrysanthemum tonight. ”
The shark head exclaimed, "You're still laughing!" Has the conscience been eaten by dogs? ”
Liu Mang's face sank, and he scolded: "Little cub, don't pretend to be a saint with me." Didn't I say you, you know a fart? She said she was ruined, is there any evidence? In my opinion, this girl is just pretending to be pitiful and winning the sympathy of a stunned young man like you. ”
"Alright, don't make a noise." The handsome man couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "The top priority is to find out the murderer, what are we talking about in the nest?" ”
Liu Mang asked, "Do you have a clue?" ”
The handsome man shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”
Liu Mang glared: "Then you talk about an egg." ”
The handsome man said: "You are a person who is full of swearing, and you don't have any plain words at all." ”
Liu Mang said disdainfully: "You're almost there, girl, you're embarrassed to talk about me." ”
Ding Ding listened for a while and said, "Don't make any noise." As for who the murderer is, you will find out later. ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions were shocked, and they asked, "Do you know what to expect?" ”
Ding Ding nodded and said, "I already have a rough eyebrow." ”
Liu Mang said eagerly: "Who is the murderer?" ”
Ding Ding sold a pass and said with a smile: "I'll tell you later, he hasn't shown up yet." ”
Liu Mang slapped his thigh and said impatiently: "Women are grinding, don't you say it happily?" ”
Liu Huan also came down, trembling while walking, and said weakly: "Oops, I had a bad stomach last night, it's really uncomfortable." ”
Liu Mang quietly glanced at Ding Ding, meaning to ask if the murderer was this fat man?
Tintin shook his head, indicating no.
Liu Mang roughly counted, only the two of them had no road yet, and they could guess it with their toes. He quickly ran upstairs, picked up the stuttering man again, and asked, "Is that him?" ”
The stuttering man was a little nervous and stammered, "I, I, what's wrong with me?" ”
"It's not him, either." Ding Ding didn't want to whet everyone's appetite anymore, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find the murderer." ”
At this moment, she has a sense of accomplishment, although this is the fruit of Wei Liang's wisdom, she still feels happy in her heart.
Wei Liang's brows furrowed, things were not as simple as he thought. If the killer had killed one person a day, there would have been eight people left alive as of today. The total number of people who have shown up so far is exactly eight, which means that the one who did not show up is basically dead.
Everyone came to the door of Major General Bai and knocked on the door hard, but no one responded, and the silence inside was terrible.
The handsome man hesitated: "He should be dead, right?" ”
Shark Head nodded in agreement.
Liu Mang said: "Needless to say, he must be dead, otherwise why is there no movement?" "He has a grudge against Major General Bai, and it is a good thing for him that the other party is dead.
The girl in the white dress didn't speak, lowered her head, and thought that her heart was happy. Major General Bai targeted him everywhere, and the feud between the two sides was not deep.
Tintin froze and muttered, "How is that possible?" How could he die? No, it must have been a mistake. ”
According to Wei Liang's speculation, Major General Bai is the murderer, how could the murderer kill himself? There are only two possibilities, first, the murderer is crazy; Second, Wei Liang's reasoning was wrong. Obviously, the latter is more reliable.
Ding Ding did not give up, and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was still no movement inside, this qiē was exactly the same as what happened yesterday, and it was the same after the death of the national character face, the door was closed, and everyone was allowed to knock outside, and the dead man could not make any response.
Liu Mang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, sister, the murderer you said can't be this dead man, right?" ”
Ding Ding's face was hot, he was embarrassed, and looked at Wei Liang helplessly.
Wei Liang's brows tightened even more, and he was silent.
Ding Ding smiled awkwardly: "I'm just kidding...... Hehe. ”
"Huh." Liu Mang grinned.
"Huh." The handsome man grinned as well.
"Huh." The shark head grinned as well.
The stuttering man came late and didn't know what they were laughing at, and out of politeness, he also smiled at Tintin.
As for the girl in the white dress, it may be that she is in pain below, and she really can't laugh.
After everyone left, Wei Liang was still squatting on the ground, frowning, looking puzzled.
Ding Ding sighed and said with relief: "It's okay, it's a big deal to overthrow the previous one and start all over again." ”
Wei Liang muttered to himself, "Something must have gone wrong...... If he wasn't the murderer, why did he lie yesterday? ”
Ding Ding said: "The deep and light sleep you talk about is based on assumptions. How do you know that when we are asleep, we must be in deep sleep? Taling is unpredictable. ”
Wei Liang sighed lightly: "It's still too simple to think." He took a deep breath, cheered up, put a warm smile on his face again, and said, "You're right, it's a big deal to start all over again, failure is the mother of success." ”
After everyone had breakfast, the voting session began again. This time, it is easier to find out who is the murderer from among the eight people, in terms of probability alone, than yesterday.
Wei Liang asked, "Do you have any new clues?" ”
The crowd was silent.
Wei Liang asked, "Didn't you find it?" ”
Everyone shook their heads.
Wei Liang smiled and said: "Then look for it again, the murderer is a big living person, not a ghost, there will always be clues." ”
Everyone first rummaged on the first floor, and after looking for a long time, they didn't find anything, and then ran to the second floor, and searched the corridor and room, but still found nothing.
"Clearly, the killer is more cautious. The first killing left behind soot, this time it left nothing. ”
At this time, the handsome man suddenly slapped his head and said, "I have a way!" ”
Liu Mang teased: "This time it won't be another joke, right?" ”
The handsome man looked slightly excited, and said, "The murderer has a universal key!" Our key can only open the corresponding door, while the murderer's key can open all the doors. ”
The smarter people immediately understood what he meant, as long as everyone took out their keys and tried them one by one, they could naturally find out who the murderer was.
The shark slapped his head and said, "Why didn't I think of such a simple way!" ”
Liu Mang felt that this plan was feasible, and said eagerly: "Don't say it's useless, let's try it, just use my No. 5 gate as a test." ”
The handsome man was the first to come, took out his No. 9 key, inserted it, and couldn't twist it, which shows that this is not a universal key.
Subsequently, the shark head also tried his second key, but also could not open the door.
Then there is the stuttering man, inserting the fourth key, and returning in vain.
Liu Mang looked at the girl in the white dress majestically and said, "Little girl, it's your turn!" ”
In fact, he was very suspicious that the girl in the white dress was the murderer, because Major General Bai had a feud with her and died the next day, which was very reminiscent of something.
The girl in the white dress walked over tremblingly, took out her key No. 10, and twisted it, but she didn't twist it. Liu Mang raised his eyebrows, naturally he didn't believe it, he pushed her away roughly, tried it himself, and sure enough, there was no response.
"Strange, isn't it this little slut?" He wondered in his heart, and turned his gaze to Wei Liang and Ding Ding.
