Liu Hang continued: "Someone came out of the locked door in the middle, at that time, Yan Muheng and I were hiding in the corner of the hexagonal room, the mechanism had not been opened, and it was pitch black, so the man didn't notice us. ”

The man was hunched over his back, unable to see his face or distinguish between a man or a woman, and he went straight out of the room on the left, and then I heard a sound like the wall was out of place. Maybe this is not correct, the friction between the wood and the wood does not necessarily mean that the wall is misaligned, but I do think so, I also asked Yan Muheng, he did not answer my question, but after the people left, he directly opened the mechanism. ”

"The voice you heard, Yan Muheng must have heard it too, this kid didn't mention it afterwards, including the mysterious person, wait a minute, I want to ask him well." Liu Qiao Pu said.

"But teacher, if his second personality appeared at that time, then it would be impossible for a normal Yan Muheng to know about the mysterious person and the voice." Xie Yunmeng retorted, and then he said to Liu Hang: "Xiaohang, can you be sure that Yan Muheng did not change at that time?" ”

"I can't be sure, but when Yan Muheng came down from the third floor, it was indeed very normal. And we only left the second floor of the main house for a few minutes, and after going down to the first floor, Officer Mei didn't see anything abnormal about Yan Muheng, could it be that he would change and recover immediately in those few minutes? ”

There is some truth in what Liu Hang said, so far, all the people who have the second personality have been discovered, and after the personality is replaced, they have not recovered in a very short time, including Wen Yuya.

Liu Qiaopu said: "Xiaohang, go on, the incident you mentioned should be related to sand!" ”

"Yes, after knowing the death of Sissy, I secretly passed through the room that the mysterious person entered, and wanted to go back to the third floor, but I didn't expect that the walls there became very flat, like the building blocks that had been spliced back together, so I stopped to check the walls, and at this time I realized that with a little effort, all the walls that I had seen before, with wrinkled parts, could be removed, and those planks were all moving."

"It took me a few minutes to remove a few wooden boards, and inside the wooden planks, the wall was like a box, but the inside of the box was empty, and I felt that the wooden planks on the inside of the hollow wall were covered with sand, and the sand was very fine and damp, and it was clumps of coalescence, and water kept flowing down."

Unless the water pipe is installed at the very bottom of the tank, and the water is poured directly into the tank from above, the impact force is used to press the water directly into the open water pipe, so that the sand can absorb enough water faster.

Finally, if the walls of the first and second floors are crushed, the third floor will definitely not be able to be saved, so what is the sand in the walls of the third floor for? Is it just to add weight? I'm afraid it's not that simple, when you checked it just now, you found that the sand has two characteristics, the first is cold, and the second is dry.

When we went up to the third floor, it was warm in the hallway and in all the rooms, and it was not known whether the air conditioner was on all the time or if someone had turned it on beforehand. If the air conditioner is left on all the time, the sand on this side of the room cannot be cold.

However, the air conditioner will absorb the water and keep the sand dry, and the snow outside is so heavy, and depending on the cold of the weather, the sand that absorbs enough snow water will inevitably freeze. If the air conditioner is turned on temporarily, even if the sand on the side near the room thaws in a short period of time and flows out of the wall, it will not be dry.

So, to keep the sand cold and dry, it is very important that the air conditioner is turned on for a very long time, neither too long nor too short, and it is difficult to tell when exactly the air conditioner on the third floor has been running!

Liu Qiaopu agreed with Sun Tzu's suggestion, and he also believed that everyone should hide in the rock hole first, because no matter how the rock is, it is impossible to be crushed, and the hole is not directly below the main house, and a large part of it is below the ground between the main house and the side house, so even if the house collapses, it will not be affected too much.

But Xie Yunmeng was still hesitating, he felt that there were too many secrets hidden on the third floor, and he could get a lot of information from the two black diaries they found. If the murderer wanted to crush the house and let them all die here, they could have done it a long time ago, so why bother activating the mechanism after they have investigated so many clues?

If there is a chance, in the previous chaos, the murderer had many chances, and he himself could escape from the main house without realizing it. Now, Yun Yeyao has not woken up, Xie Yunmeng can't make an arbitrary decision, perhaps, after they leave, the murderer will destroy all the evidence left in the main house, including the traces of those organs.

The discussion about the structure of the house on the first floor continued, and Mei Xiao listened attentively to Yu Cha's narration, judging in her heart how these words were different from what Yun Yeyao and the others said, which ones could be believed, and which ones could not be believed if there were doubts, so she had no time to pay attention to other places.

Qiao Keli paid attention to the movements around him, as a special helper, Qiao Keli has done a good job so far, but it is very strange, from his exposure of his identity to his participation in the investigation, it can be said that he has done no less than the criminal police, such as rescuing Liu Hang in the tower, helping Mei Xiaoxiao hide Xixi, and going downstairs alone to protect the horror, which are all vulnerable to the murderer's attack.

But when the criminal police were in danger again and again, Chokley was safe and sound no matter what he did, only when he was terrified and tested before, he was frightened once, and other times, as if the murderer didn't take him seriously at all, he never bothered him!

And, what does the horror have to do with the past he speaks of? Jokley has not been elaborated on until now, and it does not conform to common sense.

We have always positioned this black and thin man on the vague identity of the criminal police helper, who is he? What does it have to do with the homicide under the mountain? What kind of involvement is with the treacherous house, except for a few words when he helped Liu Hang, he didn't explain it again.

In fact, in the reasoning, without specifying, it can only be that this person still has room for development in the future, and maybe everyone will speculate, will Chokley suddenly reverse? Unexpected behavior, or become an accomplice to the murderer! It can be made clear here that Jockley has always been a helper of the criminal police, and he has nothing to do with the murderer. But that's not to say that there won't be surprises in the part about him, and maybe somewhere, Chokley will be the key figure.

Just like at this moment, after he saw Yan Muheng's appearance, he walked directly to him, after Yan Muheng Xiaolou, he spent most of his time sitting in the corner to deal with his wounds, looking harmless to humans and animals, but Qiao Keli was guarding him all the time.

"What happened to his wounds? Why do you want to remove the gauze that has just been wrapped, so that it is easy to get infected. Qiao Keli kindly reminded Yan Muheng, who was sitting.

Yan Muheng glanced up at him and said, "I feel that my palms can't bend, and I don't like this feeling." ”

"If you don't like it, you have to wrap it, and you're not a child."

"Something like that...... It's like a dream, the kind that is half dreaming and half waking up, it is dark and dark in the mind, people seem to be in the primeval forest, depressed, dull, and at a loss, and the person in the dream will continue to attack you, and there are many ways for him to attack, such as things he doesn't want to remember, sadness in his heart, or things he wants to escape in reality. Perhaps all of this is a self-deception, so to speak. ”

"But for us, it was a very painful thing, so at that time, I used self-harm to clear my brain." Yan Muheng said, raising his hand again, in order to let the people who listened to him have a more real feeling. "Sissy makes me feel like he's been struggling against some people in the dark forest, or more precisely, certain thoughts, thoughts that make her uncomfortable and repulsor."

"The Dark Forest?" Shan Mingze muttered, it was the first time he had heard of this word, but what Yan Muheng said was indeed very reasonable on some levels, and Shan Mingze couldn't refute it, which also made him further feel that you should reconsider Xixi's actions and words in the past two days.

However, what Chokley said next touched the taboo, "Dark Forest, this should be your dark side of your own thinking, let's use an analogy, you can indeed make a little imagination, this metaphor can be said to be very appropriate, I think, the second kind of people hidden in your body should be described as, relatives in the dark forest!" ”

"Loved ones in the dark forest......

Yan Muheng's body stiffened almost invisibly, these eight words, Yun Yeyao had guessed and used, that was to get the help of Yan Muheng's second personality, and to familiarize himself with all the passages and rooms on the third floor as soon as possible. From this, we can get a glimpse of how powerful the eight words Qiao Keli inadvertently said are for Yan Muheng.

People with some special mental illnesses and mental illnesses are sometimes particularly sensitive to certain events and language, and it is possible that a simple sentence is nothing for us normal people, but for them, it is the key to curbing and stimulating the disease. If a problem like dual personality is innate, it is difficult to say if the patient is born, but if it is acquired, then the reason that induces them to form a dual personality is the most important key.

Now let's look at all the structures on the first floor, which are large enough to be divided into two fields (let's ignore the blue tower embedded in the walls of the recreation room, and think of the recreation room as a square room).

In this way, the entertainment room, dining room, kitchen and the hidden space that enters the second-floor mechanism form the first Tian character, in which the four corners of the cross in the middle of the Tian character, and the lower left corner is where the speaker is located, that is, the secret door to enter the hidden space; The upper left corner is in the hidden space, and on the side is the vertical staircase into the second floor, and from here, it is the small room that Liu Qiaopu once took everyone to stay for a long time in order to wait for Shan Mingze played by Liu Hang to return to the team.

The lower right corner is where the restaurant bar is located, which is completely blocked by the bar, before, Wen Manman was kidnapped inexplicably and thrown in the bar, if it wasn't for the sound of a small voice, it is estimated that she would not have escaped at all (provided that Wen Manman was really kidnapped by the murderer, not a scene directed and acted by herself), so this corner is very hidden.

The corner in the upper right corner is very crucial, the two walls it is connected to, one is not a complete wall at all, because a large part of the middle is a glass sliding door and a heavy curtain, and the other wall can be opened above, just below the movable wall upstairs, which supports the entire movable wall and also serves as a stepping point for the parties entering the mechanism.

On this wall, next to the glazed table in the kitchen, people who come down from it can use the glazed table as a second stepping point and will not get hurt because of the height of the wall. Terror, Qiao Keli, Liu Hang, and Yan Muheng had all been in and out of this place before, and now it was no longer a secret as an entrance.

Please be patient, let's continue to look at the two Tianzi on the first floor, and it can be seen that the four corners in the middle of the first Tianzi completely bear all the weight of the passage into the hexagonal hall and the movable walls on the second floor, that is, if the four walls in the center of Tianzi collapse, at least half of the buildings above will collapse.

Let's take a look at the second Tianzi, which is composed of four parts: the dining room, the kitchen, the hostess's room and the living room, where the four corners of the cross-shaped wall in the middle should be empty and do not bear the weight of the wall on the second floor. Because above this part is the area of the hexagonal hall, in the center of which there is no furniture and no horizontal walls.

"Yan Muheng, is the wall above also a cement brick structure?" Mei Xiaoxiao asked.

Yan Muheng immediately replied: "No, there is a wooden structure wall on it." ”

"Then why does the powdery stuff keep falling, is it sawdust?" She squatted down and wiped the floor with her hands, and then she realized that it was actually sand that had fallen, and it was very damp sand.

"Where did all this stuff come from?" Mei Xiaoxiao asked casually.

Everyone leaned over to look at it, their attention was focused on the sand, no one knew what it was for, and the walls felt very fragile after a small kick, and there seemed to be a slight cracking sound coming from inside. Spread your hands a little and ask everyone to step back a little to avoid accidents.

She glanced back, and suddenly found that there was one less person on the first floor as far as her eyes could see, and she was stunned for a moment, and then shouted:

"Grandma Tang......"

——

The emaciated shadow sensed that something was starting to be wrong, and it was not something he could explain, so the shadow chose to retreat, and while everyone was studying the walls and sand, he secretly moved towards the bathroom door.

He is more familiar with every part of the treacherous house than anyone else, as long as he passes through the double doors there, he can directly enter the secret passage, and the black shadow has to be hidden again unconsciously, those criminal policemen are too powerful to investigate to such an extent, the development of events in the treacherous house is no longer beyond the control of the black shadow.

Just as he was making his way into the bathroom, a hand suddenly came from behind his back, and something like a blade hit his neck.

The voice that changed its tone approached his ears, and the threat of death kept the black shadow from moving.

"Listen, from now on, if you don't want to be discovered by the criminal police all the secrets, then you can find a way to restore that sand for me, the treacherous house must not have an accident, I will keep an eye on you all the time, if you find that the treacherous house has fallen a wall, you will have an extra knife on your neck, until you cut the trachea, understand?"

"You, who the hell are you?"

“Eternal”

Hearing the code name of Eternity, the dark shadow trembled violently, fear spread in his heart, almost stopping him from breathing, Eternal should have died a long time ago, fifteen years ago, when this treacherous house was still a mirror house, the eternal heart was eliminated by him by all means, why did it still appear?

On the issue of the water tank, Yun Yeyao and Liu Hang's judgment is actually biased, Liu Hang bluntly believes that the water is in the water tank, and the murderer opens the mechanism to release the water and guides the water into the wall, with the aim of crushing the first floor.

Yun Yeyao's idea was closer to the truth, and based on the structure of the house and Liu Hang's account, he judged that the sand and water were not in the water tank, but that the sand was stored in the extra space next to the water tank, and the water was channeled through the small bathroom that was the entrance and exit on the third floor. In addition, when the original curved wooden walls on the outside are dismantled, some of them can be restored to ordinary walls, and the other part can be used as a cover for the sand to cover up there.

Therefore, Liu Hang found a large area of dampness on the wall plank, that is, there was no on the floor.

Based on this answer, Yun Yeyao believes that the water tank is just a hidden existence, and it has no practical effect at all, and it may even be a hollow wall made of wooden planks.

At this point, Mr. Actor did ignore that he should have thought that the inside of the tank could have opened up a passage to connect with other places.

Another point is where the sand is hoarded, not at the center point of the hexagonal room, but at the opposite center point of the recreation room and the kitchen. The murderer knew where the people downstairs were, and he also knew that these people would not leave there for the time being because the structure of the house had not yet been figured out, and it was he who consciously said special words, making Yan Muheng once again a puppet of the second personality in the dark forest.

However, all of this, the small and the survivors downstairs are still in the dark, the danger is approaching step by step, can those who are unaware of it escape the consequences of it?

The movement of the man in the dark continued, and it was a very difficult task to open the secret door on the side of the tank, because it had not been opened for many years, and the surface of the iron lock had already rusted due to the humidity and cold.

The secret door was near the edge of the outer wall, so the air was unusually cold, and after a long time, the person in the darkness felt that his fingers were completely unconscious, and there was no way to open the lock there.

However, he was not in a hurry, because some of the people who had threatened him were by the policewoman's side, and he couldn't get out for a while.

Keeping an optimistic thought, he bent his back and continued to fiddle with the lock, and when he couldn't open his nails, he stuck his fingers in and twisted them vigorously, anyway, his fingers were already frozen, and he didn't care about the little injury.

If the grocery store owner is not trustworthy, then the detective will not get rid of him to protect the witnesses before going up the mountain; If the grocery store owner is completely trustworthy, Wen Manman thinks that this is not the case, didn't Yan Muheng also exchange identities with Officer Xie? At the end of the day, he didn't do a lot of things that undermined the investigative process. Although it is said that there are dual personalities at work here, Wen Manman always feels that the grocery store owner may also be hiding some secrets that they don't know!

Wen Manman closed her eyes, they originally wanted to investigate the matter of the sand and the 'ghost' hidden in the restaurant, but now something is changing, the boss is being dragged into memories by something, and she herself is more reminded of the events of her childhood.

Wen Manman weighed in his mind whether he should believe what the boss said, and continued to listen to the words in his ear: "Xiaoxue and Daxue are not special children, but they have strange dreams, in the first few years, there is still Xiao can protect them, but later, Daxue disappeared, Xiao Xiao also fell into an emotional whirlpool, I don't know where to go, Xiao Xue and Wen Yuya haven't been back here for a long time, they are imprisoned in the treacherous house, and even Mr. Chef can't do anything."

"Uncle, how do you know this?"

"Wen Yuya told me personally when the restaurant opened, and Xiaoxue also left her side at that time, and we were her only friends. Wen Yuya has always said that in order for her eldest daughter to live a normal life, she had to sacrifice her youngest daughter as a last resort, and gave an ignorant child to the eternal heart, which is her own fault, and it is a mistake that can never be made up! ”

Hearing these words, Wen Manman couldn't control it anymore, she turned around and pushed the grocery store owner away, rushed out of the small room, and didn't take a few steps before she saw the proprietress who was already asleep on the bed in the bedroom. Wen Manman's footsteps stopped at the bedroom door, she didn't know why she was so excited, what the grocery store owner said just now was very different from what she had always thought, if what he said was the truth, wouldn't Wen Manman have no source of hatred? Could it be that she should be grateful for being abandoned?

With her head down, trying to get the uneasiness out of her mind, Weymanman walked into the bedroom, she wanted to sit down alone and think about it, she had to have a clue about everything.

But as soon as he stood firm on the side of the bed, the grocery store owner hurriedly followed, he was a little anxious, and said, "Manman, I thought you would leave like Shan Mingze!" ”

Mei Xiaoxiao continued: "Uncle, after you fell asleep last night, the whole restaurant froze because of the water spray device on the roof, which means that the water spray device is to drain the tap water from the house to the roof, but you see that on the second floor here, except for the bedroom, there is only the small room diagonally opposite, and the door of the small room is very hidden, almost exactly like the wall. ”

"At first, I didn't even know there was a room there, I just accidentally pushed it and found out, there was a tap on the kitchen counter, and the water on the roof could never be drained up from the kitchen on the first floor, which would inevitably put more pressure on the pipes and fixtures, and the kitchen counter in the small room was located close to the edge of the roof, so it was much easier to drain the water to the roof."

"In addition to the problem of water, it is the air conditioner, the air conditioner on the first floor was broken last night, maybe it was caused by the air conditioner that seeped into the air conditioner after the mechanism was activated, but why was the air conditioner on the second floor not broken? And it's not just the air conditioner, I tried it when I first came, all the power outlets on the first floor can't be turned on, but the second floor is not affected at all, which can only show a problem, the second floor uses an independent power supply, and it will not be affected by the sprinkling of water on the periphery, maybe there is not only sand hidden in the walls, but there are many things we don't know. ”

When the grocery store owner heard this, he said, "That's why I want to mention the past to you, the second floor has been independent since it was just built, and it is completely separated from the first floor of the restaurant. ”

Only then did he realize what the grocery store owner meant, so he calmed down and listened.

The owner of the grocery store said: "After the fire in the treacherous house, Wen Yuya chose to resign and start her life again because she was framed, and the hostess gave her a large sum of money out of guilt, because at that time we all knew that An Ze could no longer make money from dreams, so I don't know how the hostess could still come up with the money for Wen Yuya to build a restaurant and purchase goods while bearing the huge maintenance expenses of the treacherous house." ”

"Wen Yuya's explanation for this matter is that An Ze has hidden property, and An Ze is still secretly betraying the prophecy in his dreams from the outside world, and he earns more than before, but the channel can't be made public, I am half skeptical about it, An Ze is dead, and Wen Yuya's words cannot be confirmed."

Hearing this, Wen Manman can roughly imagine something, first of all, the time that the grocery store owner said about the horror in the restaurant was the time when Mr. Butler and Yun Yeyao went to find the hostess yesterday, if the person chatting with Wen Yuya outside the door is really the grocery store proprietress, then the proprietress can be used as a witness to the horror of lying.

Horror said that the person who was chatting at the door asked Wen Yuya and the cook to help, and then left with the two of them, Wen Yuya asked her to watch the door before leaving, waiting for her to return. But according to the grocery store owner, Wen Yuya never left the restaurant at all, and his wife only chatted and did not ask Wen Yuya for any help.

Secondly, if the chef was in a restaurant, how could Wen Yuya let the horror alone hide in the kitchen and kill the chickens? Moreover, there are many frozen chickens, ducks and fish in the back warehouse, is it necessary to kill live chickens in such cold weather? These live chickens may have been drained of blood and thrown under the food piles in the warehouse. From this point of view, it is possible that both Terror and Wen Yuya were the ones who used chicken blood to create the first Terror Blood House in Lianfan's room, or they were simply complicit.

Wen Yuya was later kidnapped, and the murderer threw her and the body in the mechanical room of the bell tower of the treacherous house, maybe this is not the case, Wen Yuya may have sneaked into Lianfan's room from the secret passage with the chicken without bloodletting, and after spilling the blood, because there was no way to leave immediately, so she hid in the bell tower.

Unexpectedly, the murderer took advantage of her actions and threw the body pieces of the brutal murder into the mechanical room, causing Wen Yuya to be frightened and suddenly lose her mind.

The above statement can only be regarded as an explanation for Wen Yuya's appearance in the treacherous house, including the analysis made before, which one is the correct answer, or wait for Mr. Actor's reasoning.

However, after all, Wen Yuya was the maid in the treacherous house back then, and it is not impossible to be familiar with the secret passage, but there is a key point here: that is, to enter the bell tower, you have to pass through Lu Haoyu's room, this Lu Haoyu currently seems to have nothing to do with other people in the treacherous house, and is completely the role of a tourist.

Wen Manman thinks that if Wen Yuya takes the initiative to commit a crime, there are only two possibilities to bypass Lu Haoyu, first, Lu Haoyu has colluded with Wen Yuya before, so he chose that key room to live in.

Second, Lu Haoyu is innocent, Wen Yuya sneaked into the bell tower while he was asleep, if she did this, Wen Yuya must have the key to Lu Haoyu's room, because almost no one will sleep without locking the door in the middle of the night.

"So the sand becomes wet because of the snow can also be ruled out. Teacher, you found that the walls in the basement of the side house are also filled with sand, the sand is damp, and even the moisture has penetrated into the plank, causing the board to rot and defect, there is no air conditioning in the basement, it is very cold both outdoors and indoors, but the damp sand is not frozen, it can only mean that the sand is constantly absorbing the water poured down from the top down, and these water flows must be warm, and it flows there from a certain part of the house through the water pipe, so you will feel that the moisture in the basement is very heavy. As for the reason for this, what is the reason for this? We still have to wait until we go back to the basement and examine it carefully before we can make a decision. ”

"Let's get back to the sand here, when Lian Fan died, I was all focused on the murder, and what the hell is the use of the sand in the walls of the third floor? But Xiaohang's words reminded me that the problem should be on the first and second floors, not the third floor, and that to really understand the role of sand, we have to look at the whole house, and we can't find the key points in any one area of the house. ”

"The structure of the house on the first floor, excluding the study and the blue tower, has a total of six rooms, including the secret compartment when we went upstairs, these six rooms are arranged in the middle of the space to form a huge rectangle, or two, overlapping in the shape of a field. What are the benefits of this arrangement? First, if the weight of the upstairs wall is spread over the load-bearing wall around the Tianzigzag, then the load-bearing capacity of the first floor will be greatly enhanced. ”

"Second, if all the weight of the upstairs is concentrated on the center point of the Tianzi, it is equivalent to avoiding the load-bearing capacity of the surrounding walls, resulting in the first floor being easily crushed, once the center point of the Tianzi falls, then everything upstairs will pour down, causing the interior of the house on the first floor to become a ruin, and it does not matter whether the load-bearing wall on the side has collapsed or not. Xiao Meng, teacher, isn't this what the ruins above the basement of the partial house look like? ”

"You mean that the ruins on the side of the house are not necessarily caused by fire, but that before the fire, someone deliberately used the house mechanism to collapse it, and then used arson to cover it up?" Yanagihashi asked.
