At noon on December 31, in the study of the main house

When Tang Meiya pulled away her granddaughter, Xie Yunmeng also turned on the small flashlight at the same time, which was a spare item he hung on the key ring, and the battery in it could be used for a long time.

By the dim light, the two women only glanced at the underside of the bounced wooden plank, and Yaya was almost stunned, and just as she wanted to scream, her mouth was covered by her grandmother again.

Tang Meiya was quite calm, although her face was already pale and her hands were trembling, but the sense of security brought by Mr. Criminal Police made her not lose her mind, Tang Meiya took Yaya back and said: "Yaya, close your eyes and don't look, Xiaomeng will deal with it!" ”

Indeed, as soon as they took two steps back, Xie Yunmeng's tall body was already in front of them, like a guardian spirit, isolating the fragile woman from the terrifying place created by the murderer.

A rectangular hole in the floor was revealed, not deep, and the light of the flashlight shone through it, and a staircase leading down to the dark depths could be faintly seen.

Why is it vaguely seen? Because at the top of the staircase, there was something that almost blocked the entire hole, so that the person standing in the study could not see the whole face of the staircase, and where it led.

It was a white skeleton that had long since lost its flesh and skin, covered with dust, and judging by its appearance, it was clear that this place had not been opened for many years, and perhaps no one had been here since the death incident.

There was no stench emanating from corpses in the murky air beneath the floor. And the white bones can be described as 'clean and clean', and there are still faded clothes and pants on it, looking at the appearance of the clothes and pants, this should be a man.

He died in agony, his jawbone opening to an incredible extent, as if he was still crying out for help, and the rest of his facial bones were deformed as a result.

Xie Yunmeng gently lifted the clothes on the chest of the corpse, and almost all the ribs in his chest were broken, as if they had been broken by someone with something hard, and after smashing it more than once, several ribs were broken into several pieces, and there were also cracks on the sternum, shoulder blades, and the upper arm bone of his right hand.

Xie Yunmeng gently opened the body of the corpse with his hand, observing the left hand he was pressed underneath, the bone of the left hand was not broken, there seemed to be something between his fingers, Xie Yunmeng reached out and wanted to take out the thing, but the pressure was too tight, unless the entire corpse bone was pulled out, otherwise there was no way to get it.

Xie Yunmeng stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and said to Tang Meiya's ancestor behind him: "Don't be afraid, this person should have died many years ago. Maybe what we're looking for is in the hole in the ground under him, you go to the back of the bookcase over there and hide for a while, and then you come back after I've cleaned up the bones and the hole. ”

Tang Meiya asked: "Xiao Meng, I heard that the corpse will produce poisonous gas when it decomposes, this corpse has been sealed here for so long, we won't be poisoned if we go in!" ”

"Grandma Tang, don't worry, the floor here is not sealed, and there is a secret entrance and exit in the study, the stench produced by the cadaver has long been volatilized, and it will be fine."

"Oh, that's good, I'm afraid of Yaya......" Tang Meiya was obviously a lot more relieved.

"It's okay, Grandma Tang, don't you also want Yaya to know all the truth? Yaya is a smart girl, and I'm sure she'll be able to help. ”

"That's for the best, and my sins for so many years can finally be atoned for." Tang Meiya said with emotion, she comforted the frightened little girl in her arms, and her tone was full of joy: "Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I really don't know how to tell Yaya the facts of the past." ”

"Grandma Tang, there are some things that Xiao Yao said are not certain at present, according to the current situation, any change may happen, you must be mentally prepared."

"I see."

At noon on December 31, inside the restaurant of the Treacherous House

The painful man slowly opened his eyes, he was not injured, but he felt a terrible headache, and the nerves from his temples to the top of his head were twitching, as if someone had stepped on top of his head.

"Are you okay? Are there any injuries? Where did everyone else go? The flurry of questions showed the speaker's anxious mood.

But the awakened man did not answer the question immediately, he only said, "Have I seen you somewhere?" The voice was very slight, but it was like five thunderbolts in Yan Muheng's ears.

'Isn't it! Could it be that he is also ...... Yan Muheng didn't dare to imagine it, so that this person was indeed as he guessed, and there was a relationship with the past.

Yan Muheng's hands, which were still holding very tightly just now, were now slightly loosened, and his face also showed a defensive look, as if the person in front of him had changed from a friend to an enemy in an instant!

"Do you remember who you are?" Yan Muheng opened his mouth and asked a strange question.

In exchange for an affirmative answer, and this time, the man in his arms sat up and answered very crisply.

"Of course I know who I am! Just why am I here? Who are you? Yan Muheng, you have never shown your true colors from the beginning, and now I just want to know, who is your true identity? ”

Suddenly, the feeling of headache shifted to Yan Muheng's body, and the person in front of him seemed to return to a normal state, but that fleeting reaction had been deeply rooted in Yan Muheng's heart, making him turn his protection targets into three: Xixi, Horror, and Yun Yeyao.

Yes, it was Yun Yeyao who was left alone in the restaurant, and Yun Yeyao seemed to have the same situation as Yan Muheng, who was in a coma because of a headache, but he didn't remember what he did afterwards.

Yan Muheng said: "Mr. Yun, the identities of the two Yan Muhengs have been placed in front of you, have you forgotten?" Who am I, and who is Yan Muheng in the house? Officer Xie wouldn't be happy to hear that. ”

He wanted to use these words to hide the shock in his heart, but Yun Yeyao didn't seem to be ready to end the conversation like this, and continued: "I seem to remember that I was in a coma twice, the first time I dreamed of an old man, and the second time I dreamed of a young man, and they both had the same scars on their faces as you, so I couldn't tell who you really were? If you're not the murderer, tell me the truth. ”

"I am the eternal heart of this family!"

When the four words of Eternal Heart were spoken, a trace of imperceptible strangeness flashed in Yan Muheng's pupils, and Yun Yeyao looked into his eyes and asked, "Eternal?" ”

The silence of the "......" replaced the answer, making the doubt in Yun Yeyao's eyes deeper and deeper.

He got up from the sofa, looked down at Yan Muheng, paused for a moment, changed the topic and said, "Your hand is injured, wait a minute, I'll go find some gauze and medicine." ”

"Xiao Yao." Yan Muheng called out this name for the first time and asked, "Where have everyone gone?" ”

"They and the teacher are in a safe place, now protected by a little one, I wanted to stay here to investigate, I don't know what's wrong, all of a sudden headache, all I remember is this, and then I saw you wake me up."

"You really don't remember anything when you were unconscious?" Yan Muheng asked, for this question, his tone revealed a persistence.

Yun Yeyao replied: "I don't know, anyway, it's not dead, after I bandage you, I'll take you to the teacher." Sister Wang and the cook will take care of you. ”
