Time: Noon on the second day of arrival at Asukusa Lodge

To be honest, the house that Xie Yunmeng entered had turned into an empty shell at this moment, although the appearance of the windows and doors outside had not changed, but the inside had long been empty. All the rooms, the renovations, the occupants and the caretaker were gone, and only a few pieces of furniture that had not been smashed were left standing alone.

It is impossible for anyone outside to notice the lonely hut in the weeds, let alone look closer, not to mention that now all the windows of the house have been covered, as if they were automatically covered when the internal structure collapsed.

The eye shifted to what was supposed to be the second-floor platform, but now all that was left was the edge of the floor attached to the wall, and the large area of the floor in the middle of the hall had been reduced to broken bricks underneath, and no longer existed.

Between the broken bricks, Xiao Rou's blood-stained head emerged from the middle, and her body was now full of lost models, overlapping between the girl and the ruins, like small heads sticking out of the ruins one after another, looking very scary.

Who took them exactly? And why did it suddenly appear after the house collapsed? No one can figure out these questions now, but one thing is certain, someone who must have been there at the time who hid it from under everyone's noses.

We don't know what method he used, and we don't have time to explore it, but the most important thing now is to find other people who are still alive.

There is no second person on the surface of the ruins except for Xiao Rou's body, and the most likely location of the others is under the ruins, but no one in the empty house will come to help us dig up the ruins, and no one will come to rescue them in time.

Time: The night after arriving at Asukakusa Lodge

Sometimes it is the only judgment, but there are often mistakes. Just like now, Mo Haiyou and Yun Yeyao obviously heard Mr. Detective's voice coming from the depths of darkness, but when they walked to the end of the passage, they didn't find any trace of anyone, and there was nothing he could think about, so he could only turn back and go up.

At the end of the passage was a low wall, with no doors or windows, and a lot of messy things piled up in front of the wall, perhaps the place they had come to was the basement of the Asuka Grass Inn, but it was a strange shape.

Perhaps the people in the hotel like to hide the props of pranks and guessing in order to facilitate the game, and hiding in such a long basement makes it easy for people to go halfway and not dare to go any further, and they will not find what is hidden.

Before Mo Haiyou left, he carefully checked the stacked items on the light of his mobile phone, they were indeed some large and small models, from the perspective of forensic medicine, these things would not be confused with corpses, because the degree of realism was not up to standard at all.

With doubts full of doubts and worries about Mr. Criminal Police, Mo Hai walked up on the right side and called out in the passage: "Xie Yunmeng, can you hear me?" Tell me where you are? ”

But Mr. Detective's voice never came out again, and it wasn't until Mo Haiyou returned to Yun Yeyao's side that Xie Yunmeng's voice was suddenly heard in the void, and he seemed to have been talking to Yun Yeyao.

"Xiao Yao, where are you now?" Xie Yunmeng's question was exactly the same as Mo Haiyou's just now.

"I'm inside the Asuka Grass Hotel!" Yun Yeyao replied towards the void.

"No way, the Asuka grass has collapsed, and there was a homicide on our side, a little girl was stabbed through the heart with a knife and died right in front of my eyes. I can't get out of this place now, and I can't see the road clearly without lights, Xiao Yao, you have to leave quickly and call the police! ”

Hearing this, Mo Haiyou opened his mouth and said, "Officer Xie, are you in the roof or basement now." ”

"I don't know, I just know that in the darkness, when I was in the house before, there were six residents together, but now only the caretaker of the bird grass, Granny Yan."

"What does that Granny Yan look like?"

"It's no different from an ordinary old man, it's not as scary as the previous witness said, there are no abscesses and scars on the face, there is no hunchback, and the spirit looks very good." Speaking of this, Xie Yunmeng paused, as if someone on the other side was reminding him of something.

After a few seconds, Mr. Detective continued: "By the way, Granny Yan has an older sister, and she said that the appearance we described is closer to her sister. ”

Xie Yunmeng's words came to an abrupt end here, as if the opposite side had collapsed again, there was a sound of bricks and tiles breaking, and then an exclamation from an old woman, and then, Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou's side couldn't hear the sound at all, no matter how they called, Xie Yunmeng no longer spoke.

This time the two of them finally began to take this matter seriously, the criminal police said that there had been a homicide, so it was necessary to re-examine all the strange events before, Mo Haiyou described the model he saw to Yun Ye Yaoting, and said: "Those models can't be disguised as real people at all, it seems that I was wrong, there is indeed a murderer in this house!" ”

Just when the two of them were in a hurry and urgently began to investigate and search, Xie Yunmeng, who was on the other end, was experiencing something that shocked him, and it was not a dangerous thing!

His conversation with Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou proved that until it was close to midnight, Xie Yunmeng and Granny Yan were still alive, while the others were unknown.

Indeed, the ruins pressed them underground, but only Xie Yunmeng and Granny Yan were pressed down, and the other young men and women were in completely different spaces, and they had already entered the Flying Bird Grass Hotel where Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou were.

Time: Around 1 pm the next day.

The candlelight flickered in the small room, illuminating the faces of the young men and women gathered around the table, and it was obvious that from the first position on the left hand, they were Duan Hongye, Cheng Ji, Qiaoqiao, Phantom and Xiaowei.

There was a girl sitting behind Xiaowei, and when we moved our eyes to her face, anyone who knew about the previous murder would be unable to control their screams. Because she is the dead Xiaorou!

Xiao Rou's body was lying in the ruins with those models, why did she appear here now? It's like a magic game, and we can't tell what reality is at all? What is Unreal?

Duan Hongye looked at Xiao Rou's face and said, "You acted really realistically, and deceived that criminal policeman all the time." How the hell do you do that? ”

Xiao Rou's eyes were facing the ceiling, she didn't seem to be able to explain the problem herself, and thought for a long time before she said, "Why didn't you rush in front of him to check the corpse at that time?" ”

"We saw the tip of the knife coming out of your chest, and the blood all over the ground, who would dare to rush up and examine the body!" Cheng Jikou said that one of his hands was in the palm of Duan Hongye's hand, the burn scar on the side of his neck was gone, and his face looked somewhat similar to the Chihuahua that appeared in S City under the candlelight.

Duan Hongye continued: "No matter what? This prank was more successful than ever, but the person who was deceived was a criminal policeman, and we won't be in trouble afterwards! ”

"I don't know," Qiaoqiao and Phantom replied next to each other, "Anyway, I've done it, take it one step at a time!" ”

Several people talked one after another, and the topic always revolved around the murder that happened in the morning, and Xiaorou herself never explained how she replaced the model and how she made it so realistic. just said when everyone was very curious: "You have to ask Granny Yan about this matter, everything is the handiwork of Granny Yan." ”

This sentence seems to shirk responsibility, but it has a huge meaning, but of course, no one can hear the meaning now.

The candlelight in the room is getting dimer and darker, and the afternoon time does not last long, and after a few hours, it will be night. And the night is the time when they should return to Asukusa and uncover the truth.

Now everyone was waiting, passing the time of boredom, and the demon was sitting among the crowds and began to peek at the next target.

Regardless of whether Xiao Rou is dead or not? Who were the people in the past? Here, the demon's actions were much easier than in front of Xie Yunmeng, and he was more able to let go of his hands and feet more easily.

Without warning, everyone's conversation began on the collapse of the house that had shifted from Xiao Rou's death.

It was Duan Hongye who took the lead in speaking: "In this way, the bird grass over there can be regarded as fulfilling its last obligation, that is, the hotel can no longer be opened, so we must find a way to say hello to the owner." He should have been able to guess that we were going to do this, but it didn't feel good if he didn't say hello afterwards. ”

"Originally, he bought Granny Yan and her sister's Asuka grass because it was cheap, and he could let us play games without any scruples, but now it is ruined, and the other side can only be taken care of as a home, and in the future, everyone's activity venue will be transferred to the apartment I bought in S City, although it is not as fun as here, but there are many puzzles that can be found in the city apartment, and there is nothing wrong with changing the taste."

His words immediately aroused everyone's approval, and it is true that these people are only gathered to relieve stress and have fun, and there is no deep friendship between them at all.

Cheng Ji stood up and walked to a small table behind Duan Hongye, there was a large bottle of drinks and a few disposable cups on the small table, he poured drinks for everyone, and said: "There is nothing wrong with saying this, but it is really a sad thing to want to leave Asuka Grass forever, Granny Yan has lived here for fifty or sixty years!" She must be very reluctant in her heart. ”

"My mother-in-law is too old to do such a job, and she has no children and no one to take care of her! Xiaoji, isn't the house you bought over there just for Granny Yan to live in! When the time comes, we move to the city with him, wouldn't it be nice to have her as an administrator? Qiaoqiao said a little nonchalantly.

She has always been a family person, and she can't understand the old woman's obsession with home, so she can't feel that sad emotion, but she just feels that life should be satisfied if she is alone.

At this time, Xiao Rou mentioned Duan Hongye's girlfriend in S City and said, "Why don't you bring her over, you haven't joined when she played with us before!" It's good that the game of saying goodbye to Asuka grass actually left her aside. ”

Receiving this 'harsh' question, Duan Hongye just smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Whether she comes or not is always a matter for her to decide, and I won't participate in the opinion!" By the way, Mr. Detective and Granny Yan should also find their way, right? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? ”

Duan Hongye suddenly pulled the topic in another direction, and between their ongoing gossip discussions, we have to study where they are now?

The place is not high, a boxy room, after a few people sit around the large table, there is only a narrow edge left for people to walk, and the small table with drink bottles in the corner is also pitifully small, like a coffee table.

At one end of the room there is an entrance, the door of which is now open, and due to the limitations of the interior of the room, it is only about 2/3 the height of a normal door.

Looking out from the doorway, although it was dark outside, the stairs were clearly downward, which meant that the direction of these people at the moment was not in the basement, but in the place where they were going up, which was really strange.

The collapse of the house crushed people under the rubble, and they actually went to it, and the space around them was not to say that there were broken bricks and wall mud, even the white wall ash could not be seen at all. However, these things are also easy to explain, and you can pay attention to the actions and locations of these people before the collapse of the house.

Now, they are waiting for the detective and Granny Yan to find the right way, but our detective is not so lucky, he has all the luggage and things in the room, so he doesn't have any items at hand that can be used for lighting and calling for help.

Therefore, there is no way to find the right path with my mother-in-law quickly, so I can only rely on intuition to find out little by little.

So where exactly are they now? In fact, it is quite ironic to say that they are actually in the underground pipe under the bird grass, that is, in the passage below the manhole cover.

When the ruins suppressed Xie Yunmeng and his mother-in-law's bodies, the floor below actually opened at the same time, and the two of them fell defenselessly into the sewage of the underground pipe, making a mess.

Fortunately, Mr. Detective and Mother-in-law are not delicate little girls, and they are not sensitive to things like rats and cockroaches, so they can walk in it safe and sound now.

There is nothing to describe when they walk out of the underground pipeline, and there is no danger, but the two of them walk a lot of wrong roads hand in hand.

At the end of the last path, Xie Yunmeng finally found the ladder to climb up, because he couldn't see his five fingers, he asked his mother-in-law to go up first, and he followed behind to protect the old man.

"Mother-in-law, if you are tired, you can stop where you are and rest for a while, I will hold you underneath, and it will be fine."

"Oh, okay, thank you, young man." Granny Yan's words seemed to lack a trace of gratitude, but a little more apology, making people feel like she was apologizing to Xie Yunmeng.

Xie Yunmeng didn't have time to care about so much, he just wanted to leave this damn stinky place as soon as possible and go up there to find the police station to solve the problem. There are always exits to the city's underpasses, so there's no need to worry.

Just when Xie Yunmeng was looking forward to seeing the sun overhead, the truth gave him another blow to the head, after climbing out of the underground pipe, it was not the edge of the road, nor was it some imaginary weed, but another enclosed and dark space, and it was so narrow that Xie Yunmeng could barely squeeze in.

Xie Yunmeng was simply loveless, feeling that he was not trapped to death today, but would be annoyed to death by these strange places.

To go in or not to go in? Just as he was hesitating, his mother-in-law took the lead in climbing into the gap in the plank, and she turned back to Xie Yunmeng and said, "Mr. Criminal Police, no matter what?" It's good to have a passage, let's climb over there and see where the end is! ”

Xie Yunmeng's patience had run out at the moment, and he asked Granny Yan: "You have worked and lived here for so many years, do you really not know why the Asuka Grass Hotel collapsed?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed and said: "Everything is taken care of by my sister, I really don't know what this house has been transformed into by him, Mr. Criminal Police, whether you believe it or not, that's all I can say, can you please hurry up now, and discuss these issues in detail after you go out?" ”

Granny Yan's words were not unreasonable, and Xie Yunmeng had no choice but to put aside his doubts again and squeeze into the narrow space with her.

In fact, the place they are going to now is the place where Yun Yeyao and Mo Haiyou came down later, even the forensic doctors and actors have to bend down and shrink their bodies to pass here, not to mention the tall criminal policeman, who is almost squeezed to the ground.

However, fortunately, the passage was not as long as expected, and the two of them quickly found a place that could be opened, but not directly in front of them, nor on both sides, but above Xie Yunmeng's head.

As for why there is no place on both sides that can be opened, first, here you can't see anything clearly without seeing your fingers; Second, some places can be closed twice, and the time when Mr. Detective arrived here was when the forensic doctor and the actors had just entered the Asuka Grass Hotel, so the state of the guest room was not easy to grasp.

Now, let's not discuss this, Xie Yunmeng and his mother-in-law have entered the only entrance above their heads, so what kind of scene will greet them next? Maybe they don't have to look for a way at all, or maybe the opportunity just arises by accident.
