Chapter 15: Illusion

"Let's start with this annex." Lu Buming glanced at the dark corridor and said, "The upper two floors of the entire annex, except for the guest rooms and the entertainment room, don't look like a home room in the first place. ”

"What's wrong with that?" He Qiuye asked: "This place was originally rented for us to play, and it is not bad to say that it is public land, I don't think anyone will live here." ”

"That's right." Lu Buming said: "But this is very strange, obviously it is not a residence, why use a personal old housekeeper?" I know Zhao Lao Wu, he is a personal housekeeper. ”

Let's put it this way. Lu Buming's first inference caused an uproar, and all along, this most obvious suspicion dangled in front of them, and no one paid attention to it.

"Not only that, but even if it's an amusement club for us to have fun, what amusement club wouldn't have a single light in such a long hallway?" Lu Buming pointed to the corridor leading to the inner hall.

"It's suspicious indeed." Leng Shuang couldn't help but agree with Lu Buming's idea.

"Maybe the light is broken?" He Qiuye was still unwilling.

"If the light is broken, then isn't this coincidence too deliberate?" Lu Buming seemed to have guessed that there would be such a voice, he raised the candlestick in his hand, and shone it staggeringly into the corridor in front of him, the blood on the wall had already coagulated, and even after being contaminated with new blood, the hideous had long since lost its original appearance.

Although they knew it was this thing, but when they looked at it again, under the flickering candle flame, several girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and scream.

"Yes." Meng Wan leaned over to the wall and said, "So, why is there a supernatural blood character on the wall?" ”

Lu Buming glanced at Meng Wan and said, "You're half right. ”

"Isn't it blood? This one? Meng Wan was bold enough to reach out and touch the mold, but He Qiuye screamed and grabbed her wrist.

"It should be blood. Although it could also be a bad taste of ketchup or artificial plasma. However, for the sake of realism, real blood should be used. Lu Buming said.

"That's what you said." Huang Zixi interjected: "Why does it seem that this word was deliberately made?" ”

Lu Buming looked at Huang Zixi with a relaxed face and gave a thumbs up.

"He deserves to be a great detective. It's artificial. It was at the moment when we saw the body that the words appeared. ”

After listening to Lu Buming's explanation, He Qiuye screamed and shouted: "It's not right! You're not right! How long did it take for us to see the corpse, less than a few seconds before and after, and as soon as it came out, words like this suddenly appeared on the wall where there was nothing, and in front of all of us? ”

Lu Buming smiled and said, "When did I say that this word was written when we saw the corpse?" ”

"Huh?" He Qiuye didn't understand it at all. "That's what you just said."

"What I'm saying is that the font appears the moment we see the body."

He Qiuye clenched his fists, and his face was so red that Lu Buming was angry.

"So what's the difference!" She shouted.

Lu Buming didn't answer directly, he didn't even pay attention to her, and said to Meng Wan: "Miss Meng, please help me look at the root of the wall, stick the vertical line of the blood letter, touch the edge of the wall root, and see if there is anything wrong." ”

"Oh." Meng Wan nodded, and sure enough, she touched it. There was a blood clot at the base of the corner, which solidified into a dull red, which looked a little more strange under the flickering of light and shadow. Meng Wan's hands trembled, and when she touched the blood clot, her face turned from pale to astonished.

"Huh?" Meng Wan's

When his finger touched the stain-like blood clot, the viscous texture that he had imagined did not come from his hand. "It's ......"

Meng Wan's fingers were filled with a sticky-like feeling, covered by a strong and pungent smell of blood, and this felt-like feeling was even a little familiar.

At this time, Lu Buming's voice came again.

"Try it again, try your best, and if you stand on tiptoe, you should be able to reach it." Lu Buming's eyes flickered, and he looked at the top of the blood character, although his hands were free, but Leng Shuang was watching from the side, and he didn't dare to really untie the rope.

Meng Wan did as Lu Buming instructed, she stood up, hesitated for a while, closed her eyes and stuck to the blood-stained wall, her body seemed to be soaked in some bloody monster, gritted her teeth, and stretched out her hand.

Same touch.

"Okay, what's the discovery?" Lu Buming asked.

"Here, gooey." Meng Wan said: "I thought it was blood, but what is it? ”

"It should be blood, but no matter what it is, there are traces of tape in the four corners, especially after seeing the blood, the blood coagulates more obviously on the traces of these tapes. Even if it's artificial blood or something, if the liquid is coagulated after seeing it, it should be adhesive or tape. ”

A few people other than Meng Wan were also quite curious, and they gathered together to the corner of the wall and gathered together to observe. Huang Zixi was instigated and touched, which once again confirmed Lu Buming's conjecture.

"Tape indeed." He said. "It's the stickiness of the tape, it's not very obvious, but it's sticky."

Huang Zixi stretched out his finger in disgust and put it in everyone's sight, and then the candle flame at the end, a bloody scab-like thing stuck to his finger, which froze on his hand at this time.

"Put the exact same wallpaper on the wall, no one noticed when we came in, and while our attention was on the corpse, we pulled down the whole wallpaper and hid it in one go, and the blood words sandwiched between the papers looked as if they had just been written."

Lu Buming said with a smile.

"It's really a trick."

"I see." Huang Zixi blinked, Lu Buming's explanation did make sense. Leng Shuang on the side became vigilant.

"If your reasoning is correct, then the matter is serious." looked at Lu Buming, her face was no longer indifferent, and it seemed that she was a little more curious about Lu Buming.

"Tell me about it." Lu Buming noticed that Leng Shuang's hand was on his waist, and his gaze became much colder.

"At the time of the murder, we were already trapped in this annex, and the 'supernatural events' that appeared at this time can only show one thing - the real murderer is in this annex now, at this moment, and may even be among us."

Lu Buming neither affirmed Leng Shuang's assumption nor denied it, he glanced at the woman in green who had fainted and lost consciousness, and continued: "There is also this woman who has come back from the dead. ”

The woman's breathing gradually stabilized, but she lost too much blood and fell into shock for a short time. Her face was smeared with thick powder, and in the fierce fighting, the blood washed away the makeup on her face, revealing the true face of decay and aging.

Listening to Lu Buming's words, everyone's eyes focused on the woman. The woman seemed to be dreaming, frowning tightly for a while, and even from time to time, her body would twitch intermittently.

Seeing this scene, He Qiuye shivered, she bent over and hunched her back, leaned tightly on Huang Zixi's back, swallowed her saliva, and grabbed the corners of Huang Zixi's clothes with her fingers.

"At first everyone thought she was dead, but the disguise was really good, and she could fool the layman." Lu Buming's words were full of mockery.

"Are you a connoisseur?" He Qiuye asked.

Lu Buming didn't answer, but looked at Cheng Yaohua.

"You say, who came up with such an ingenious solution? Uncle? Lu Buming asked meaningfully. Seeing that Lu Buming was actually entangled with him, Cheng Yaohua panicked.

At this time, the explanation is not as good as a counterattack. Cheng Yaohua looked at the people with suspicious eyes, pointed to Lu Buming and said, "You, what do you mean?" Are you trying to say that I did it? I, I ......"

Cheng Yaohua's words had no confidence, but Lu Buming's face showed a strange look, and he scratched his head.

"Am I not articulate? Uncle, I didn't say you planned it, at least. He smiled and said, "Not this time." ”

Cheng Yaohua's expression was like five thunderbolts, and his whole person stiffened.

"You, how do you know!" He waved his arm, but Lu Buming didn't pierce the matter, just looked at the woman in green, stretched out his hand, and put it on her wrist.

"The pulse and blood, combined with the dark tones, the eerie atmosphere, and the hints of weapons and killings that were everywhere in the room, made the room feel like a hoax of psychological suggestion. Sadly, in this kind of scam, people tend to forget what exactly is real. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cheng Yaohua is still hard-mouthed.

Lu Buming didn't say anything, just put his fingers against his armpits, and at the same time choked his lower ribs, and his two fingers were forced at the same time, and his face became a little purple. He held his breath and glanced at Leng Shuang.

"Come and see my pulse." Lu Buming said.

Leng Shuang hesitated for a moment, gently stretched out his white fingers, touched Lu Buming's wrist, moved away as if electrocuted, and pressed it with a stubborn frown.

A gloomy face suddenly turned into surprise.

"This." Leng Shuang was stunned, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"It turns out that people who are like ice also sweat." Lu Buming let go of his hand with a smile and gently rubbed Leng Shuang's forehead. Leng Shuang hurriedly withdrew his hand and squeezed his two hands together.

Everyone looked at Leng Shuang suspiciously, this cold face turned out to be hot. However, they were more concerned about the intention of Lu Buming's actions just now, so Leng Shuangcai calmed down a little and said:

"Just now...... It was only for a moment, but his pulse and breath were almost gone. Leng Shuang's words frightened everyone.

"It's a physiological trick that allows you to temporarily control your breathing pulse and last longer with medication – it was originally used as a hypnotic and breathing guide, but I didn't expect anyone to use it for this kind of thing." Lu Buming sneered.

"What's going on?" He Qiuye was still confused.

"The pen and the blood on the ground must have been faked." Lu Buming said: "There is also a hole in the neck. ”

He pointed to the deep hole in the woman's body. "If it was opened with a syringe and a breathing tube, and the hemostasis was done, it would not be surprising. That's why, the fatal wound didn't get any blood at all. ”

"Combined with the skills just now, it's actually easy to pretend to be dead."

Lu Buming's reasoning and Leng Shuang's assumptions are very reasonable, like a sharp sword, piercing the originally peaceful atmosphere.

Huang Zixi also realized this, he looked flustered, and suddenly broke away from He Qiuye, who was dragging the corner of his clothes, and retreated a few steps.

He Qiuye, who was originally hiding behind Huang Zixi, opened his eyes wide, but he was helpless.

"Do you want to explain now? Uncle? Lu Buming looked at Cheng Yaohua with a smile, and he was the only one who was still calm.
