Chapter 20: An Interlude in the Kitchen
Xie Yunmeng chased Yun Yeyao into the kitchen, but did not find any danger, only to see the former Mrs. Lucifer half-kneeling in front of the refrigerator in the kitchen, and Yun Yeyao stood by the door of the refrigerator opened, the heads of the two of them looked at the freezer on the lower level of the refrigerator, and the front lady Lucifer's side face looked very troubled.
"What's wrong? What happened? Xie Yunmeng asked as he approached.
The two people in front of the refrigerator turned their heads almost at the same time, their faces were the same frustration and annoyance.
Mrs. Lucifer replied, "The food is gone, and all the chicken, duck, and fish in the refrigerator have been taken away, so come and see for yourself." ”
“!!”
After a few steps, Xie Yunmeng only glanced at it, and felt the shadow of despair hovering above his head, and his face immediately looked the same as the other two. "What about rice noodles?" Xie Yunmeng asked urgently.
This time it was Yun Yeyao who answered him, but not with sound, but with action, Yun Yeyao opened all the cabinet doors one by one, and there was nothing in it except oil bottles.
It was as if there was a messenger from hell hovering above Xie Yunmeng's head, and he said loudly, "What are you going to do like this?!" If there is nothing to eat, everyone will starve to death!! ”
For Xie Yunmeng's question, Yun Yeyao couldn't answer it, food is a necessity for survival, but now...... Reluctantly, he looked up and carefully counted the remnants on the upper floor of the refrigerator:
There was a bag of mushrooms, a handful of greens, and a couple of plates of dumplings that might have just been wrapped that day. Yun Yeyao said to Mrs. Lucifer: "Madam, put these dumplings in the freezer first, it will be even more troublesome if they go bad." ”
"Okay." When Mrs. Lucifer put the dumplings, Yun Yeyao seemed to remember something and said to Xie Yunmeng: "You hurry back to the living room, Xiao Zuo is very dangerous there alone, and he can't move freely now!" ”
"But what are you going to do here?!" Xie Yunmeng was obviously very uneasy.
"Oops! I'm fine with my wife, you hurry out and hear me?!! Yun Yeyao yelled while pushing Xie Yunmeng out of the kitchen door, so loud that he could hear it clearly in the living room.
There was no way, Xie Yunmeng had to listen to him leave the kitchen, but before leaving, he repeatedly took care of Yun Yeyao to be careful, and glanced at Mrs. Lucifer, as if he didn't believe her.
In this case, suspicion is inevitable, so Mrs. Lucifer had to pretend not to see it and continue to sort out the little food left in the refrigerator.
After Xie Yunmeng went out, Yun Yeyao turned around and asked, "Madam, didn't you just say that there is a maid downstairs, and she is not in the living room outside?" ”
"Yes, it's the girl who fainted in front of the living room clock, she was supposed to be sorting out the props in the warehouse on the lower floor, and preparing the necessities for the guests."
"What are the necessities?" Yun Yeyao asked.
"Hmm... It's just some makeup props to be used at the party, etc., weren't you just upstairs and scared by their disguises? Mrs. Lucifer said, looking still focused on the food. So his eyes didn't look at Yun Yeyao at all.
"Ah, don't mention it, ma'am, it's too embarrassing, my companions are laughing at me......"
"What does it matter, it's scary that's what it should be." Glancing at Yun Yeyao's face out of the corner of his eye, Mrs. Lucifer noticed the embarrassment on his face, so she comforted him.
Then she changed her tone and said, "Now that two people have died upstairs, and the food downstairs is gone, and everyone is stunned, who did it?" It's horrible. As she spoke, Mrs. Lucifer clasped her shoulders with her hands, and fear grew thick on her face.
Yun Yeyao too, with a miserable white face, he even makes people feel overwhelmed, and he can't help much.
"Hey! Weren't you smart when you came? I didn't understand what I said, how can I ...... now" Mrs. Lucifer wanted to say how to do this, but she swallowed it again when the words came to her mouth, because it was very rude.
"Madam, that's what my two companions told me to say, I've always been afraid of ghosts, so they want me to come here to practice my courage, you know, one of my two companions is a criminal policeman, the other is a forensic doctor, both are very bold people, but I am the least courageous, and not very shrewd......" Speaking of this, Yun Yeyao was silent, he didn't want to mention these words.
Of course, Mrs. Lucifer will not ask any more questions, and it is not a good thing to expose other people's shortcomings.
The two of them were talking in the kitchen, trying to find the remaining necessities as much as they could, piling them together, and the time passed quickly, and after ten minutes, the rest of the things were almost cleaned up. Anyway, the final summary is that the food is definitely not enough for these people to eat two meals, so Xie Yunmeng and Mo Haiyou have to find a way to let everyone out as soon as possible.
When Yun Yeyao passed the news to the two men in the living room, Mo Haiyou's brows furrowed even tighter, and his feet were trembling slightly, which should be very painful. Mrs. Lucifer looked at Mo Haiyou, then turned her gaze to Xie Yunmeng, and saw that neither of them reacted, which made the look on her face even more anxious.
