Volume 1 Fear of Meeting in a Dream Chapter 48 Wisteria Flower Murder (2)
Cheng Yunjing recalled and said, "There are twelve or thirteen in total...... Why do you ask this? ”
Gu Mo just wanted to speak, when suddenly a man ran in their direction: "...... Help me! ”
He looked weak, in his twenties, with gold-rimmed glasses, and dressed in an extremely ordinary manner.
He looked at the people chasing after him in a panic, and he didn't know if he was too scared or what, so he fell to the ground and didn't get up for half a day.
After the people behind arrived with a knife, they were about to do something to him, only to see Cheng Yunjing kick the stone on the ground with his toes, brush and kick it twice, and I don't know where it hit, the knife suddenly fell to the ground, and all the people fell to the ground.
The man in the back got up and wanted to make a move, but Cheng Yunjing kicked him to the ground again, stepped on his shoulder and asked, "What's wrong, why did you kill him?" ”
I saw that the other party suddenly convulsed, foaming at the mouth and dying.
Cheng Yunjing checked the other party's snort in disbelief, touched his pulse again, and found that he was indeed out of breath.
Gu Mo just wanted to come over, but was stopped by Cheng Yunjing: "...... There's nothing to see when people are dead. ”
He pulled Gu Mo to the rescued man, but he saw that the other party hadn't gotten up yet, and his face turned pale with fright.
Cheng Yunjing squatted down and asked soothingly, "What happened just now?" ”
The other party looked at him in shock: "...... Who are you, why didn't I see you in the hall just now? ”
"My sister has a cold and fever." He pointed at Gu Mo, "I'll stay in the room to take care of her." ”
He looked at Gu Mo and Cheng Yunjing with a similar emotion of nostalgia, but then it dissipated again: "No wonder...... Champagne has poison in it, it will be poisoned after dawn, and the poisoned person has to kill a person to get the antidote, I don't like to drink champagne very much, so ......"
Gu Mo and Cheng Yunjing looked at each other, suddenly took a few steps back, and said in unison: "Goodbye!" ”
"See you later!"
Zhou Ze: "...... I'm not really poisoned. ”
Gu Mo looked at him with a headache, and suddenly handed him the card in his hand: "Do you have this in your hand?" ”
Zhou Ze looked at the card thoughtfully, and said for a long time: "I seem to have seen ...... But I put it back on the table and didn't take it out. ”
“…… Seriously, teenager. ”
Gu Mo said to Cheng Yunjing in a broken heart: "It seems that we have to go back again and collect all the cards." ”
"You think it's a card collecting game...... It's all collected, why don't you upgrade it with materials? ”
"No......" Gu Mo was amused, "This is obviously a clue, each invited person is estimated to have a card, and then you can summon the divine dragon when you get it together." She was also starting to lose her tune.
Cheng Yunjing leaned over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You also saw the box just now...... Excluding the kind of pure people who seek death, do you really think that the murderer will deliberately leave evidence for us to find him? ”
"......" Gu Mo's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he lowered his voice and said, "I understand...... You're saying it's a trap? ”
Cheng Yunjing blinked in agreement.
Gu Mo turned to look at Zhou Ze, who was still on the ground, and suddenly laughed: "Hello, may I ask what is your name?" ”
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment.
After exchanging information with several people, they learned that Zhou Ze was actually a housekeeper temporarily hired by the original owner to make this banquet run normally.
But he was reckless, and got lost at the foot of the mountain when he came, and only arrived here this evening. When he came, he found that everything had been arranged in an orderly manner, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly called the original owner, but found that there was no signal here at all.
He quietly asked a few people, but no one understood what he said.
"So you want to say ......," Cheng Yunjing summed up his words, "The murderer first deliberately trapped you at the foot of the mountain, and then prepared all this while you were away. ”
Zhou Ze scratched his head in annoyance: "I don't know if that's the case, I only know so much." ”
"Let's drive down the mountain...... Gu Mo hugged his arms and trembled, "and then call the police." ”
Zhou Ze replied quietly: "It's useless...... The tires were all blown out, and someone went to see it in the first place. ”
Heaven is going to kill me.
"Let's go back to the villa first...... Zhou Ze said suddenly, "When I escaped, there were still people who didn't drink champagne and were being hunted down, let's find a way together after we rescue them." ”
Gu Mo glanced at him strangely, turned his head and asked Cheng Yunjing, "...... Shall we go back? ”
"Let's go back...... That's already the case. Cheng Yunjing said helplessly, "Do we have any other way?" ”
So the three of them sneaked to the gate, and quietly looked over, only to see that the gate was open, and the light inside was shining through, and there was an eerie atmosphere.
Gu Mo gently patted Cheng Yunjing's shoulder and said, "Come on, young man." ”
Cheng Yunjing: "......" I did something wrong.
He turned his face and said to Zhou Ze as if embarrassed: "I'm a little scared, in case I die...... Let me say a few words to my sister alone, okay? ”
Zhou Ze nodded knowingly and walked to the side.
After Cheng Yunjing saw Zhou Ze leaving, he secretly stuffed a dagger into Gu Mo's waist: "Be careful, this kid is not a good stubble." ”
Saying that, he tidied up her clothes, firmly covered the traces of the dagger, and then pinched her face fiercely: "Okay, I'll go, if there is no accident, I'll come out to pick you up in a while." ”
Then he called Zhou Ze back and said his plan, he went to explore the road first, let them wait here, and pay attention at any time.
After Cheng Yunjing left, Gu Mo was leaning against the wall and looking at the door, when he suddenly heard Zhou Ze on the side say, "...... Are you really brother and sister, you all have different surnames. ”
Gu Mo turned his head and explained in a low voice: "He is three years older than me, so he likes to call himself my brother and take care of me in everything." ”
"That's good." Zhou Ze, bathed in the moonlight, had a completely different temperament from just now, noble and dusty, and his expression was sad, "I also have a younger sister...... She became seriously ill when she was four years old, and she passed away after failing to resuscitate. ”
"......" Gu Mo felt that something had changed faintly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at him with fear.
But the other party didn't seem to want to attack her, leaning against the wall and looking up at the sky, without saying a word.
Cheng Yunjing didn't take long to come back and told them that they could go in, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw blood stains almost all over the ground, spreading all the way to the end of the corridor.
"There are a total of twelve of us in the whole villa, and after removing the three of us, one died in the garden, four died in the villa, one was seriously injured, and three others were fine."
Cheng Yunjing said as he led them to the bedroom on the first floor, where the survivors were now inside.
A man who looked to be forty or fifty years old was lying on the bed, his eyes closed and his chest covered in blood.
A man who looked like a doctor was busy at the bedside, and when he saw them come in, he said in a businesslike tone, "He's dying...... If you don't get to the hospital in time, it will be within half an hour. ”
"It's almost impossible for us to take him to the hospital in half an hour." Cheng Yunjing walked over and took a look, only to see that the knife wound on the other party's chest was extremely deep, and the blood couldn't be stopped at all.
And a man who was sitting next to him suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "That means, I can kill him?" ”
"In principle, I don't recommend that you do that." The doctor-looking man pushed his glasses, "I just checked your pulse, and the toxicity in your body is extremely domineering, so I seriously suspect that there is no antidote at all." And a person who can do this kind of thing, do you really think that the other party will keep his promise to give you an antidote? ”
"You're not poisoned!" The man looked completely devastated, "Of course you can say that easily...... I have a three-year-old daughter at home, and she's still waiting for me to come home......" His tears fell from his eyes and he knelt on the ground, looking extremely pitiful.
The people in the room were silent.
I don't know who started it, but everyone went to the next room one after another and left them there.
After seeing that everyone was gone, the man wiped his tears and came to the hospital bed, ruthlessly, and pulled out the knife inserted in his chest with trembling hands, and blood suddenly gushed out, and the other party ran out of breath after a while.
The man looked at the person lying on the bed crying and laughing, and he was relieved to think that he would be able to see his daughter soon, but he instantly panicked when he saw the blood on his body.
Blood, how can there be blood on me? If I don't do that, my daughter will think I'm a murderer. Quick, wipe it down.
He was crazy, and by the time Cheng Yunjing and the others saw him again, he was already delirious, and he kept banging his head against the wall, saying a bunch of nonsense in his mouth.
He didn't go to the organizers for an antidote, and died after dawn.
After Gu Mo saw this result, he couldn't help but ask Cheng Yunjing in a low voice: "...... Would it be better if we stopped him just now? ”
"I don't know, I really don't think it's good to do anything." Cheng Yunjing's face was extremely ugly, "It's all the responsibility of that damn organizer, and it has nothing to do with anyone." ”
At this moment, the TV in the room suddenly turned on again, and there was a sound of laughter from inside.
"Congratulations on passing the first level, the second level begins, only the person with the most cards can live, grab it before five o'clock in the afternoon!"
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Cheng Yunjing suddenly dragged Gu Mo and ran out, and everyone in the house rushed out to chase them as if they had just woken up from a dream.
They ran all the way to the second floor, and after locking the door in Cheng Yunjing's original room, they went to the table to look for the cards, this time the location indicated above was the fireplace on the first floor.
For a moment, neither of them said a word.
"Do we all agree that looking up this card is a waste of time?" Cheng Yunjing asked weakly.
Gu Mo nodded silently in agreement.
The chaos outside was approaching, and suddenly someone began to kick the door, and the door shook violently, as if it was about to be kicked open.
"We have to have a plan." Cheng Yunjing suddenly approached Gu Mo's ear and said, "......"
