Chapter 6 Don't go out until the rooster crows
The first seven are particular in many places.
Yu Xing has some understanding of this, since the people of Guanjia Village can say the first seven or two words, it should mean that there are some old customs circulating here.
Originally, it was believed that the ghost of the deceased would return home on the first seven days, and the family would prepare a meal for the ghost before it returned, after which it had to be avoided and hide under the covers.
If the ghost of the deceased is allowed to see his family, it will make him remember it, and it will affect his reincarnation.
Later, there were more film and television works and folk novels, and Touqi gradually became a representative of the powerful ghost asking for his life, which was deeply implicated in the terrifying imagery.
No matter what the first seven in the hearts of the villagers of Guanjia Village are, in short, Yu Xing thinks that since it is mentioned, then Zhou Yongsheng's ghost should appear tonight.
"Hey, what kind of ...... are you going to make with this happy look?" Xiao Xuechen was stunned for a moment, "The first seven is the first seven, you still want to summon the ghost?" What do you call the soul!? β
"yes, that's what you want to call him." Yu Xing stared at the coffin board, knocked twice, and continued his soul-calling behavior, "Get up, netizens have met." β
Why do you meet netizens? You're the devil!
Xiao Xuechen's scalp was numb for a while, this big guy is a big guy, but could it be that the degree of personality alienation has passed 20% and has been affected by negative things?
What is this something that a normal person can do?
Seeing that Yu Xing's interest in this coffin was quite high, she couldn't help but say, "You can just open the coffin." β
Yu Xing thought deeply: "It makes sense." β
ββ¦β¦β
Next, Yu Xing gave Xiao Xuechen a performance, what is the opening of the coffin on the spot for an autopsy.
The coffin board that had not yet been sealed was easily dragged by Yu Xing, and the coffin lid was moved down, Xiao Xuechen regretted that he was quick for a while, and glanced inside with a little panic and weakness, and saw a man's gray head.
The man looked very young, his peers, about twenty, with short hair and decent facial features, but he didn't have any memory points, and he belonged to the kind that he couldn't find if he was thrown into the crowd.
"Is this Zhou Yongsheng?" She whispered, clasped her hands together and shook it slightly, apologetic.
Yu Xing caught a glimpse of her small movements, and felt that this girl was cute in some aspects: "What are you worshipping him for?" He can still chat with us online in the coffin, what a stylish and unconventional corpse. β
"I was speechless." Xiao Xuechen reached out to support his forehead and sighed softly.
She couldn't help but look at the corpse, and then wondered: "You have to lift the lid of its coffin, what now?" It's lying here, it's not a corpse or a ghost, can we draw any conclusions? β
"What do you think of the status of this ancestral hall in Guanjia Village? Or rather, what kind of role does it play? Yu Xing responded to Xiao Xuechen while squinting in front of the corpse.
"Hmm...... The only coffin is here, and I think this place must be important, even ...... Centre. Xiao Xuechen replied, pursed her lips, Yu Xing observed the corpse up close, and she also lay on the edge of the coffin, "What did you find?" β
"Since this place is central, there must be clues. At present, it seems that there are not many places that can be operated, so let's start with the corpse. Yu Xing looked at it for a while, opened the mouth of the corpse with his hand, and looked inside.
"Wow......" Xiao Xuechen felt that this picture was a little weird, such a good-looking beautiful boy actually touched the lifeless corpse with his hand without care, and the contrast of this picture gave her a visual impact.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the beautiful boy to let go.
"Look, facial bruises, cyanosis, swelling, petechial bleeding, corpse spots appear significant and widely distributed, and bleeding teeth, which is called rose teeth." Yu Xing's magnetic voice slowly revealed the characteristics of the corpse, and rubbed his hands next to the coffin by the way.
"You're going to do an autopsy, heh, there are so many talented painters these days." Xiao Xuechen already knew that he was not an ordinary painter, so he took the opportunity to choke in amazement and half-mockingly.
Then she asked: "I don't have much research on medicine, but I can roughly tell that these characteristics you are talking about are death by suffocation, right?" β
The little royal sister actually understood a little bit of this, saving him the trouble of explaining, Yu Xing nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." β
Xiao Xuechen paused: "This is normal, didn't the village chief say that Zhou Yongsheng was buried by the mudslide caused by the summer rain when he was playing on the mountain, and suffocation and death can be right." β
"It's not normal, and it's not right." Yu Xing smiled, "Do you really think that being buried means that you should be suffocated to death?" In fact, there are roughly two causes of death in live burial, the first is like you said, suffocation due to lack of oxygen in the lungs, and the degree of mudslide is basically crushed to death by air pressure before suffocation. β
Oh...... Xiao Xuechen listened and made a note in his heart by the way.
"And hanging, hanging, strangling, strangulation, this is mechanical asphyxiation, which is more in line with the characteristics of this corpse." Yu Xing pointed to the corpse's neck for her to see.
A circle of blue-black marks that should not have appeared on the body of the dead buried alive seemed to be imprinted on the corpse.
"Strangulation!?" Xiao Xuechen's eyes widened, "Zhou Yongsheng was strangled to death, so the village chief lied!" β
She felt like she had opened the door to a new world.
Really, it's the first time I've been looking for clues in something that is most likely a ghost in a deduction game.
It seems that her road was narrower before.
"Hmm~ Little sister, now that your investigation mission has a direction?" Yu Xing didn't cover the coffin, just leaned on the side of the coffin, looking at her with a smile.
"You're amazing." Xiao Xuechen had to admit that this conclusion can at least show one thing, that is, in this village, Zhou Yongsheng is or has been a victim, and the village chief and the others have no truth in their mouths, so they have to be more careful.
She thought that the biggest crisis of this deduction would be the funeral the next day, and Zhou Yongsheng was very likely to cheat the corpse or become the final boss, but now that she looks at it, even if she really becomes a boss, there are many things that she can use.
For San, she was really convinced.
Xiao Xuechen looked at the faint smile in the other party's eyes in the darkness, and his heart moved: "But...... Don't look at me like that, how powerful is your face, don't you have some function in your heart? β
"Well, it's my fault for being like this." Yu Xing really turned his face away and stopped looking at her, leaving her with a ruthless side face after teasing, "Do you have a lighter?" β
"What, you want to smoke?" Xiao Xuechen subconsciously felt that SAN should look good smoking, she touched her pocket, "It's a pity, no." β
"I've quit smoking a long time ago." Yu Xing smiled, "I wanted to see if I could light the candles on both sides, maybe I could see something beautiful." β
"Oh......" Xiao Xuechen shook his hands unconsciously.
"Since there isn't, forget it." Yu Xing patted the dust on his jeans, thinking about saving some face for this game, "Let's go, it's not too early, go back to the village." β
"Okay." Xiao Xuechen answered, and when she saw Yu Xing put the coffin lid back, she took the lead in walking outside the ancestral hall.
Her steps stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
βsanγβ
"What's wrong?" Yu Xing restored the coffin and looked up.
Xiao Xuechen's back did not move at all, as if he was fixed there.
Her voice was full of indescribable emotion: "Just now...... Wing Seng Chow...... Maybe I've been here. β
"Huh?" Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and walked out quickly.
Then, he understood why Xiao Xuechen said this.
At the exit of the ancestral hall, I don't know when there was a large pool of blood.
Blood stains spread among the weeds, forming two lines of scribbled blood characters that are not too big or too small -
"Don't leave the room after midnight and before the rooster crows!"
"You can't let anyone in! Either way, you can't !! β
The exclamation point at the end was quite manic, and one can imagine how convinced the person who left the bloody word was.
They were in the ancestral hall just now, neither saw people nor heard footsteps, this pool of blood seemed to appear out of thin air, so the only one who could leave this blood word and give them a hint was the ghost of Zhou Yongsheng who came out to wander out of the first seven nights.
"We lifted his coffin, but he gave us a hint about whether there are chickens in this broken village." Xiao Xuechen's focus is also very peculiar, "Should you believe it?" β
"I think so." Yu Xing said, "In fact, so far, he has not done anything malicious except to use text messages to trick me and Carlos into this village, on the contrary, we know from his body that he is also a victim." β
He also folded his hands and bowed to the puddle of blood slightly: "Sure enough, it's an unconventional corpse, friend, it's interesting enough, I remember." β
Xiao Xuechen: "...... dare you talk to him here?" With whom do you call friends?
β¦β¦
At nine o'clock, after returning to the village from the ancestral hall, he wandered around for a long time, and finally restrained Yu Xing, who did not snatch the villagers' candles, and returned to the village chief's house.
Xiao Xuechen went to Wei Fan halfway, saying that he wanted to tell the other party the hint.
Yu Xing agreed, Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan came in as a team, and the relationship should be good, and the seven deducers should have no conflict of interest in this game, and it doesn't matter if they share clues.
The survival rate is higher, and maybe the rating after the game is a little higher.
He inquired along the way, and the village chief arranged the remaining five interpreters in a private house not far away, not far away, and they could only arrive two steps away from each other.
I don't bother to care if Wei Fan will tell others after getting the clues, Yu Xing has been walking for so long, and his body is already tired.
He just wanted to rest for a while now, and by the way, look forward to the high energy of the evening.
It's just that before he had time to enter the village chief's house, a small paper puppet sat on his way, and the eyes of the little paper figure were painted black with ink at night, which at first glance was really weird and scary.
Yu Xing lowered his head and looked at the little paper man in silence.
"Carlos?"
The little paper figure suddenly moved, it stood up tremblingly and inflexibly, and swiped-
Its head was torn in half with the sound of paper tearing.
From the cracked paper, a bright red rose emerged.
Carlos's slightly flamboyant voice sounded from Yu Xing's side: "How about this magic trick?" β
Yu Xing turned his head, and saw Carlos with messy short gray-blue hair, walking over with a grin, picking up the rose on the ground and handing it to him: "Here, my new magic, although the underworld is a little bit...... Didn't scare you, did you? β
Looking at this red rose, Yu Xing's face changed rarely.
This flower ...... It reminded him of another person.
The man told him with facts that the flowers should not be taken casually, otherwise, the consequences may be unpredictable.
However, Carlos is different from that person, and the flower is also innocent, Yu Xing can only chuckle: "Friend, this flower is more suitable for two girls, I'll forget it." I don't need this set of clues, I can tell you directly. β
The corners of Carlos's lips curled, and his blue eyes shone in the dark night: "That's it, it's really simple, I like simple people." β
