Chapter 111: Suspicion
Early the next morning, Gu Chong found an orchid at the door of his room and a bunch of burned matchsticks thrown on the ground.
Prove that everything I heard and saw last night was real.
Before Gu Chong could think about it, he saw the main room at the other end, Wu Lan walked out of the house with a pale face and a vague footstep leaning against the wall.
She naturally saw Gu Chong standing at her door, and slowly opened her mouth, although she couldn't hear her voice, Gu Chong could read her mouth shape:
Dead.
Xiaoyu is dead.
As soon as the others entered the room, they saw the body that had fallen by the window, the right eye was already rotten, and a black hole appeared in the head. Blood flowed everywhere, Wu Lan got off the bed, the soles of her shoes were stained, and there were bloody footprints one step at a time.
Gu Chong glanced at Wu Lan, who was hiding behind the crowd.
Another companion died, and he himself was unscathed.
……
"Gu Chong,"
Out of the door of the house, Gu Chong and the fourth brother were about to walk outside the alley, when suddenly a voice came from behind them and stopped him.
Looking back, it was none other than Wu Lan.
The little girl changed her cowardly posture and stood there, although her face was still a little ugly, but there was no panic or panic.
It's not surprising that camouflage is a good means in the inner world, especially for women whose strength is not male superiority.
"Gu Chong,"
Wu Lan shouted again, and at the same time took a step in his direction.
walked in, and Gu Chong saw that there was a little blood on the left hand of her padded jacket.
"What's the matter?"
Gu Chong asked.
Wu Lan looked at him for a long time and sighed lightly.
"I want to make an alliance with you."
"Alliance?"
Gu Chong was familiar with the meaning of alliance, when the clown was talking to the Seven Monsters, he had formed an alliance with others. It's just that once it wasn't too smooth, and someone else snatched the soul spear.
"Why should we make an alliance with you?"
Forming an alliance is not charity, if it doesn't help, it's just an extra oil bottle.
Wu Lan's expression was very indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I can share with you the intel I've gathered."
"Does your intelligence matter?"
Gu Chong's tone was unimpressed, but his eyes showed that he needed some evidence.
Wu Lan looked around,
"You're not going to listen to me here, are you?"
……
Gu Chong and the three of them went to the teahouse yesterday again. asked for a pot of tea and some snacks, Gu Chong and Wu Lan sat opposite each other.
"I want to hear about it."
Wu Lan took a deep breath and could see that she should really know something.
"I know what Xiaoyu was killed, and I also know what Bai Zimo saw on the first night."
Gu Chong didn't speak, and his eyes motioned for her to continue.
"Yesterday, Xiaoyu asked me if I heard someone call her name, and I said no. I've been following her status ever since,"
As the evening wore on, her face deteriorated, and her temper became worse and worse. I know, presumably, she was chosen. Sure enough, at night, I heard something outside the window calling her name. ”
She answered, got out of bed, and came to the window. The thing said it found you, and it heard a pop, and then the sound of her falling to the ground. ”
"Wait,"
Gu Chong spoke.
"You mean, someone called her name yesterday and she said yes?"
Wu Lan nodded.
A sentence flashed in Gu Chong's mind, it was what the crazy old man said to him that day, before he left.
If someone calls your name, don't say yes.
"What about Bai Zimo?"
"What did he see on the first night?"
"I guess, if I'm not mistaken, you should have seen it last night."
Speaking of this, Wu Lan paused.
"Yes, in one hand, with an orchid."
Orchid?
Gu Chong remembered that when he got up today, he did see an orchid on the ground outside. As for the hands, he didn't see them.
"How do you know?"
"You smell on you," Wu Lan said.
"Last night, in my room, I saw it too."
"But orchids don't hurt people, do they?"
Listening to Gu Chong's words, Wu Lan looked at Gu Chong with a little surprise, as if she was surprised that Gu Chong would say this. But then, she was relieved.
"Sure enough, I was right to choose you."
"You're a smart man," Wu Lan said.
"Orchids don't hurt. To be precise, not all youkai in this yard will harm people. In my opinion, the appearance of orchids is more like a warning. ”
"Warning?"
"That's right,"
"Did you have anything else in your house last night?"
Gu Chong really didn't expect that Wu Lan would know so many things.
"Indeed, there was something outside my window last night, and I thought, it should be a, um......"
Speaking of this, Gu Chong suddenly paused, feeling that what he saw last night had a very funny feeling......
"It's a ...... with a big face."
Wu Lan didn't pay much attention to this detail, her hands were on the table, and she kept playing with an empty teacup.
"I think you'll find out too,"
"There's something wrong with the world."
Gu Chong nodded,
"But you don't know why, do you?"
Wu Lan hesitated for a moment and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Can you show me what you brought back that day?"
She was talking about the human head.
Gu Chong raised his eyebrows, and he was not verbose, anyway, they had two big men here, and they were not afraid that she would snatch them, so he reached into his arms and took out the human head.
From this, you can know how seriously this person's head has shrunk in just two days. Now it was the size of a fist, and the color had changed, it had become somewhat transparent, and the material seemed to have changed from flesh to some kind of stone.
Wu Lan stretched out her hand to take it, only to feel that it was warm to her hands. Flipping over the ball in his hand, Wu Lan saw clear facial features on it.
His face and tone changed a little.
"What is this?"
"What do you see?"
Wu Lan raised her head and looked at Gu Chong.
"Beloved."
Gu Chong nodded, "This thing, everyone will see the face of the person they like on it." ”
When Wu Lan heard this, she directly stuffed the ball in her hand back into Gu Chong's hand.
"Do you think such a strange thing will be a key item?"
This sentence gave Gu Chong a wake-up call.
yes, it's weird, but is it really a key item?
The key item and the main line are inevitably linked, if this thing is a key item, then, the murder case, should be the main line. But in the past few days, he has also inquired about a lot of news, but no one knows the news about the murder they encountered on the first day.
Wu Lan looked at Gu Chong's face and changed a little, and she knew it in her heart.
She picked up her untouched teacup and took a sip; While looking at the empty stage.
a table above, covering the table circumference; There is a waking wood and a folding fan around the table.
It's a storytelling thing.
"Storytelling, singing, and persuasion," Wu Lan muttered to herself, looking at the table.
"Three avenues go to the center."
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end,"
"The right way on earth,"
"It's vicissitudes."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but these four sentences came out, as if someone was holding the waking wood and patting it in their ears.
Crisp,
"Smack!"
