Chapter 228: Dialogue in the Living Room One

The demon hides beneath the false skin, his eyes sweeping over all the people present, who are telling stories of the past to the new Mr. Actor, one by one.

It is impossible for Mr. Actor to guess the meaning behind these stories, but the devil is different, he is so familiar with everyone's heart, as if he were familiar with himself, whether it is feelings or habits.

No one knows what the demons have done so far. Because it hides under one false skin after another, it has never revealed its true face until now.

When he was in S City, he chose the most suitable eyewitness for himself, whether it was using others or doing it himself, he was always choosing the right person who could make the incident disappear in the fog.

In the end, he chose two people, one is a stupid woman who is obsessed with games and wants to save her feelings; And the other is a well-known actor who can bring this matter into the eyes of the police.

Now, he can finally have peace of mind, because the detectives have learned everything, no matter how many stories those people tell, they can no longer threaten his existence, perhaps, the detectives will find some murderer among these people, someone who has nothing to do with him, which is also the result of the demon's wishes.

It may be cruel to let an innocent person take all the blame, but are all these people really innocent? Have they never hurt anyone? The devil has never had such optimistic thoughts, and he believes that in this world, everyone is burdened with some evil, but to a different degree.

The degree of sin determines whether those people will go to prison or be punished. But the devil doesn't care about this, he doesn't even care about the rules of this society, he only cares about his own comfortable place.

Now, the story continues, and all he has to do is listen and give his opinion at the right time.

Pick up the teapot on the table, the water in it is still hot, and the demon doesn't care if it burns his hands? He poured tea directly into his cup, without even looking at the teapot.

Xiaowei's narration:

"I live in S City, and like Mr. Duan and Moji, I've never traveled far away, of course, I mean travel, I come here regularly to participate in everyone's games, but I don't tell anyone else, or my own family, because they will think I'm crazy if they know."

"I've known people here for many years, and I like to read myths very much, both domestic and foreign, guessing and pranks are a way to relieve stress, I like to have a little more content, and I don't like games that only do superficial articles, so I know Mr. Duan and his girlfriend."

"Actually, I met his girlfriend first, Mr. Duan's girlfriend is actually the person who likes the Sphinx riddle the most among us, and is also the leader of many parties, including Moji, but she didn't participate in this event, when she was in the roof compartment just now, Xiao Rou also talked about this problem, Mr. Duan came to the party without his girlfriend."

At this time, Duan Hongye interjected and said: "When I was in S City, my girlfriend and I had a quarrel because of her indiscriminate shopping, she always thought that the party was going to be held in our house, so she prepared a lot of things, but at that time, because I wanted to get along with Xiao Ji, I didn't want to tell her that the location of the party was changed to Asuka Grass." ”

"Anyway, your house will replace Asuka grass as our meeting place in the future, so it's understandable that she would think like that, and I think she's much smarter than you think, maybe you quarrel with you because you want to get along with Xiao Ji alone, although she is accommodating to this matter, but you change the meeting place without her permission, she will definitely be angry." Xiaowei spoke her mind.

"I started the quarrel first, because I wanted to find a reason to leave, and it was almost time for the train to depart, and I booked a train ticket at 11 o'clock at noon, and I thought, with her temper, it would be fine after a while, so I didn't take it to heart." Duan Hongye leaned his head back in his chair, his mental state was much better at this moment than just now, but the damage caused by Cheng Ji's death was far from being calmed down, so when he mentioned these topics, his heart hurt like a pinprick at the mention of these topics.

Yun Yeyao asked, "So is the introduction here also your friend?" She stayed in the room when we arrived and didn't show up at all. ”

"To be more precise, the introduction is the old friend of the mother-in-law of the caretaker here, and they all like to tinker with some models and gadgets, just like the big yellow dog hidden in the kitchen, that is, after death, the mother-in-law and the introduction made it look like that, used to scare people. That Moji will also make some things, for example, the small model of the 'Suppressed Sphinx', which is Moji's masterpiece. ”

Yun Yeyao asked, "Xiaowei, can you tell me what you did after you arrived at Asuka Grass?" ”

"Okay, the train we took was late, and it was about five o'clock in the morning today, and we arrived at the Asuka Grass Hotel, because we who often come have the spare key to the door, so we didn't wake up Granny Yan, and went upstairs to allocate a room and rest."

As soon as I put down my luggage, I went to Mr. Duan's room, the time was about a little over 5:20 p.m., Mr. Duan was not asleep at that time, he was picking up his watch, I thought he was waiting for Xiao Ji to go on a date with him in the room, so I said a few sarcastic words. Later, when everyone got up, I realized that Xiao Ji lived in a room where there was no way to enter the warehouse. ”

"In the middle of the night, Mr. Duan's door was not locked?" Yun Ye asked.

Xiaowei replied: "Usually like this, we familiar people don't lock the door, because sometimes there are any activities, or if there are any puzzles, someone will secretly put props and notes in the corner of the room, and it will not be fun to lock the door, besides, there is no one else in this place except us, and we will not worry about any danger or anything like that." ”

"That narrow passage outside, is it a warehouse?"

"Yes, it can also be called a hidden warehouse, every time the game is played, the person in charge of pranks and puzzles will be arranged by the mother-in-law in three rooms near the corridor, they will prepare the props, secretly hide in the warehouse, and then take advantage of our absence or sleep, move to another place. Just like this morning, Phantom did. ”

"The illusion was around six o'clock in the morning, and everyone was there, including Moley. Later, I don't know why? All of a sudden, the main valve in the house jumped off and all the lights went out. This matter is not within the scope of the prank, we all thought it should be an emergency, but after the lights came on, the model that the illusion had placed there did not know who had taken it. ”

"Didn't you keep a single piece of the model at that time?" Yun Ye asked.

"Yes, the piece in Mr. Detective's hand has been retained, I guess, it should still be on Mr. Detective's body now, you can ask him later."

"Anyway, that's all I know about the disappearance of the model, and then the mother-in-law downstairs went to reopen the main power valve, and not long after the lights came on, there was the incident of the death of 'Xiaorou', and then Mr. Criminal Police checked Xiaorou's body, and he said to call the police, let us stop our activities, and wait for the police to solve the homicide case, so we pretended to agree with him and returned to the room."

"Is Xiaorou's death part of a prank?"

"Yes, Xiao Rou's death was arranged in advance, and I originally wanted to replace the real Xiao Rou with a model, but we didn't have much confidence, because the realism of the model was okay to deceive ordinary people, but it was very difficult to deceive a criminal policeman. But I don't know why, Xiao Rou actually made a model that was exactly the same as herself, and the way blood flowed out when she died scared us all at the time. ”

"So who is the one who is manipulating the collapse of the house?" Yun Yeyao continued to ask.

"The mechanism is in the mother-in-law's room, just next to the main valve, and the house itself is designed to be used as a stand-in for this house, but we went back to the room first, so we didn't see the situation of the mother-in-law activating the mechanism later, and as soon as we entered the room, we all came to the roof of this building through the underground pipe."

"Aren't there three rooms where you can't enter the secret warehouse? How did you manage to get it all into the warehouse? ”

"Xiao Rou hid behind the window of Mr. Detective's room in advance, and her mother-in-law deliberately asked Mr. Detective to choose the room in front of the entrance of the building, because in the end, when the incident occurred, it could be guaranteed that he would not pay attention to where Xiao Rou was, after all, there was a murder, and ordinary people would only pay attention to the suspect's room, and would not pay attention to their own room at all."

"Also, it's convenient for my mother-in-law to help keep an eye on us to make sure our prank plan succeeds. The other people's words depend on how the acting skills are, and the people who live in the two rooms with entrances and exits opposite Mr. Criminal Police deliberately pretend that they are unwilling to stop the game, and cooperate with their mother-in-law to attract Mr. Criminal Police's attention, and the people behind them sneak into their rooms. ”

Then, they can go back to their rooms. Because of our familiarity and preparation, it took us all a short time to get here, and it was the introduction that greeted us. When I saw her, I was taken aback! Because it's rare to see the introduction wearing makeup, at that time, the introduction face can be described as wearing heavy makeup, and he also redid his hair. This should be attested to by all who are present. ”

After Xiao Wei finished speaking, she looked at the other people around Yun Yeyao, and waited until Phantom and Xiao Rou nodded in agreement before continuing: "After that, we have been waiting in the compartment on the top floor here, and at about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, I remember Cheng Ji stood up and poured a drink for each of us......"

"Who locked that door to the top floor?" Yun Yeyao interrupted Xiaowei's words and asked.

"That's the introduction, and that's part of the prank, and we have to wait until the introduction and my mother-in-law have finished all the preparations for the 'suppressed Sphinx' puzzle before we can get out, and we are absolutely not allowed to peek in the meantime. That's why they prepared candles and drinks on the top floor, thinking that they would be able to go out before dinner, but until midnight, no one came to open the door. ”

After answering Yun Yeyao's question, Xiao Wei continued to say what she had just said: "At that time, after Cheng Ji stood up and poured a drink for each of us, I don't know why, we all fell asleep one after another. ”

Her words aroused Duan Hongye's dissatisfaction, and the man retorted: "Xiao Ji just poured drinks for everyone, he can't do anything else!" The implication seems to be that Xiaowei is wondering if Cheng Ji has given everyone sleeping pills.

Xiaowei quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just just narrating the facts." And we all know very well that the drink was not prepared by Cheng Ji at all, and even if someone drugged the drink, it is unlikely that Cheng Ji made it. ”

"And then?" Yun Ye asked.

"Later, we slept until about 9 o'clock in the evening, and when we were asleep, we didn't hear the door open or someone came to wake us up, so we all woke up in a panic. In order not to spoil the fun of the game, we will all do things strictly according to the agreed time, and it is impossible to delay it for so long. ”

"After waking up, everyone argued a few words, I don't remember the specific argument clearly, roughly Xiaorou thought that after the wooden partition on the roof of the building was locked, it was impossible to open it without people coming outside, but Qiaoqiao and Cheng Ji didn't believe it, and later, Qiaoqiao stood up and wanted to open the door to try it, but he just walked to the staircase and fell."

"No one knows what's going on? The light of the candle was very dim on it, and we couldn't see what Qiaoqiao was doing at the time. At the same time as Qiaoqiao fell, Cheng Ji also suddenly fell to the ground, as for what happened to him, I think maybe only Mr. Duan, who was beside him, knew. ”

Xiao Wei's words ended here, next, the object of Yun Yeyao's inquiry was Duan Hongye, who had been looking up at the ceiling until now, before he spoke, Xie Yunmeng and Mo Haiyou were walking out of the room of the introduction upstairs, at this time, Mo Haiyou had already checked Mo Ji's body, and he and Xie Yunmeng were both holding a person in their arms.

Mo Haiyou was holding the dead Moji in his arms, Xie Yunmeng was holding Cheng Ji in his arms, Cheng Ji was in Mo Haiyou's arms and took him out of the roof compartment, the reason was very simple, Cheng Ji was not dead at all, he was just stunned again. However, why didn't Duan Hongye, who hugged him tightly at that time, not know? Moreover, even if Duan Hongye's sadness has been faked, who is he pretending to be?

Could it be that Duan Hongye knew who the murderer was, and he also knew that the murderer was going to attack Cheng Ji, so he deliberately made a show to save Cheng Ji's life? We will not be able to know these questions until the forensic doctor and the criminal police bring the two Xiaoji downstairs.
