"There is a villa on the island, you can walk along the main road to arrive, if you want to go back, call the pier, I will come to pick you up, but if you want to leave here as soon as possible, it feels like the sea is about to be closed, and I can't come when I want to."

The crew always felt that the island was very unlucky, and did not accompany the three of them to the island, but just left with a casual advice.

Before coming to the so-called "villa", Song Xiaofang couldn't help but be disappointed, which is a villa, no matter from which point of view, it is simply an ordinary two-story building, let's use the word "house" instead.

With disappointment, the three knocked on the door, and an old man in his 50s, without asking too much, politely ushered them into the room.

There were already more than ten people sitting in the hall on the first floor, although there were so many people sitting, the whole room was quiet and scary, and everyone's expressions were very serious, as if they had some hatred for each other.

As if he didn't seem to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, he strode to the center of the room and began to introduce himself without thinking

"Hello everyone, my name is Zuo Hongyi, I am 34 years old this year, and I am currently a chemical researcher."

After finishing speaking, I looked at everyone with a smile, feeling like throwing bricks and jade, looking forward to the next person's self-introduction.

Although he succeeded in drawing everyone's attention to himself, this kind of behavior that was incompatible with the atmosphere was really incomprehensible, and naturally no one would introduce himself like him, like a clown.

But even at this time, Zuo Hongyi didn't see that the atmosphere was wrong, and thought that everyone was embarrassed, so he turned around directly, looked at Song Xiaofang, and said as if he was very familiar with him

"Hey, little fang, it seems that everyone is a little shy, you can come first."

Song Xiaofang's expression was ugly, not to mention how ugly it was, and he kept cursing in his heart

"This person is not stupid in reading, but born with a brain problem! Can't you see that you're embarrassing everyone? ”

However, Zuo Hongyi looked at himself so expectantly, Song Xiaofang had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and introduce himself hard

"Hello everyone, my name is Song Xiaofang, 25 years old, and I am a mystery novelist."

Hearing Song Xiaofang's profession, including Zuo Hongyi, everyone was slightly surprised, except for Su Yalan, everyone mistakenly thought that Song Xiaofang was also one of the nine assistants, one who studied chemistry, and was also a mystery novelist, which is really amazing. ”

"Haha, that's funny, I'm a big fan of mystery novels."

After Song Xiaofang finished the introduction, a woman sitting by the door covered her mouth and laughed, but this action was a little contrived, and it felt a little too deliberate.

Immediately after that, the woman also began to introduce herself

"Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Yanran, 27 years old, and I am now working as an assistant under another teacher."

"Smiling? It's a funny name. ”

Maybe Xiao Yanran's action will make most girls feel bored, but it is really lethal to men, and the man who has been sitting at the round table, fiddling with his mobile phone to find a signal, is obviously attracted and begins to introduce himself

"Hello everyone, my name is Su Yong, 28 years old, and I am currently a pharmaceutical research and development specialist."

"Wow, also surnamed Su." Song Xiaofang turned to look at Su Yalan and whispered

"It's the same surname as you, this family."

Su Yanan rolled her eyes helplessly

"Hey, please, don't be so speechless, okay, there are many people surnamed Su."

"Haha, if you are still willing to scold me, I am relieved, since you landed on the island, I feel that you are very depressed, and I think you regret coming."

Su Yalan was stunned for a moment and replied embarrassedly

"Oh, don't you always peek at me, okay? I've been on the plane for too long, and I've just been a little seasick, so it's good to take a break. ”

At this time, the atmosphere in the room also began to liven up, as if self-introduction had become a rule, and after Su Yong introduced himself, it was the turn of the man who had been reading by the window

"My name is Guo Xiang, 37 years old, and I am currently a professor at a university."

After finishing speaking, he continued to read his book, seemingly very arrogant, unwilling to communicate with everyone, and no longer said a word.

"My name is Guan Shuang, 29 years old, currently... Currently unemployed. ”

This time I introduced myself to a man with a stubble on his face, not tall, sitting all the time, no, more like hiding in a corner, his aura was completely different from others, compared to other people who had a successful career, he seemed to be a debtor with a lot of debt.

Everyone turned their attention to the next man, who seemed to be a little shy, and blushed a little when everyone looked at him, feeling that he had mustered up a lot of courage before he began to introduce himself

"My name is Fang Kexin, 26 years old, and I am currently engaged in environmental technology research and development."

"It's amazing, the country attaches great importance to environmental protection, and you are so young and promising."

Xiao Yanran's praise seemed to make Fang Kexin even more embarrassed, and kept his head down

"Where, where."

He laughed out loud at the sight of a smile.

followed by a very temperamental man, who felt 27 or 28 years old from his face, always with a confident smile, a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, wearing only a single sweater, he could vaguely see that his figure was super good, in short, he was a man who was very attractive to the opposite sex, the evidence was that not only smiled Yanran, but even Su Yalan glanced at him several times intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yu Dongting, 35 years old, and I am currently engaged in chemical agriculture."

After finishing speaking, he fixed his eyes on Su Yalan, his smile deepened, and the intention was obvious, it was Su Yalan's turn to introduce herself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Su Yalan, and I am currently working as a salesman for a brand."

Zuo Hongyi made a very pompous expression and asked

"Aren't you and Fang working in chemistry?"

"Ah, actually, you misunderstood, we don't..."

Su Yalan was about to explain, but was interrupted by Su Yong

"Hey, Mr. Zuo, what's so strange about this, now there are a few college students who have graduated and are engaged in their majors, just like us here, aren't there any people who don't have jobs?"

After speaking, he also glanced at Guan Shuang provocatively, Zuo Hongyi followed Su Yong's gaze and glanced at Guan Shuang, and smiled slightly apologetically.

Song Xiaofang thought that Guan Shuang would turn his face, but he didn't expect him to react at all, it seems that he is really a person with extremely low self-esteem.

At this time, Song Xiaofang began to divide these people in his heart:

Fang Kexin, 26 years old, has a shy personality;

Xiao Yanran, 27 years old, is very shrewd and even a little contrived;

Su Yong, 28 years old, is very annoying;

Guan Shuang, 29 years old, has low self-esteem;

Zuo Hongyi, 34 years old, a comic;

Yu Dongting, 35 years old, has a lot of temperament;

Guo Xiang, 37 years old, very arrogant;

“1，2，… 7, now it's seven people, in addition to Yuanyuan, there should be one more person, right. ”

Song Xiaofang set his eyes on the three people who had not yet introduced themselves, the old man just now, a woman in professional clothes, and a little girl who looked to be 17 or 18 years old.

Fang Kexin asked tentatively

"Lawyer Liang, now that all 9 people are here, we can start, right?"

The woman in professional attire looked at the number of people, shook her head, and replied with a professional smile

"Not yet, a total of 10 invitations have been issued, and one person has not come."

"10 copies? The invitation letter clearly says that there are nine assistants, how can there be 10 invitations? ”

Just as Lawyer Liang was about to explain Xiao Yanran's problem, a rude man broke through the door, threw down his luggage, and shouted swearing

"What the hell is this weather!"

Lawyer Liang looked at him and smiled

"Alright, all ten of us are here, and we can start reading this letter."

The last person to come was named Han Chen, 32 years old, with a fiery personality, and no longer engaged in chemical work.

"What's going on? 10 people? Isn't there only nine assistants in total? ”

This cold morning reacted quite quickly, or rather, he was very concerned about the extra person fighting for gold, and he realized that something was wrong as soon as he entered the house.

"That's right." Lawyer Leung began to explain

"Hello everyone, my name is Liang Yanyan, entrusted by Mr. Chen (a bloodsucking alchemist), here to make public his will, the will is as follows: from the date of the publication of this will, whoever can find the gold I left behind can inherit it unconditionally, and if no one can find it within 7 days, it will belong to my daughter."

As soon as these words came out, most of the people in the room were very dissatisfied, and every word you said to me became a mess for a while

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't the invitation say that only nine of our assistants were eligible? Now how can anyone do it? ”

"And what's the point of this invitation?"

"I didn't say before that if we couldn't find it, it would belong to someone else, what if his daughter is dead?"

Lawyer Liang still answered slowly and calmly

"Mr. Chen's letter of entrustment to us stated that he had found a friend to invite people to attend the event, and my job was to be responsible for the publication of the will and to be the notary public for the event."

Hearing this, Song Xiaofang asked Su Yalan suspiciously

"Why am I a little messy? The person who sent us the invitation letter was not the bloodsucking alchemist, nor this lawyer Liang, but another person? ”

Su Yalan actually didn't understand it very well, but she vaguely felt a little strange

"Little Fang, if you were a friend of a vampire alchemist, would you call so many people to participate?"

Song Xiaofang laughed stupidly

"Of course not, I won't notify anyone, and then I will eat it myself, hehehe."

"That's right, this is what normal people think, there is no stipulation in the will who can participate, nor who must participate, and most people will try not to let others participate as much as possible, so as to increase their chances of winning, why does this person invite so many people with great fanfare? It feels like he's using gold as bait, just trying to bring the assistants together, what kind of purpose does it seem to have? ”

It was Yu Dongting who was doing some analysis, Song Xiaofang didn't know when he came to his side, and he also eavesdropped on his conversation with Su Yalan, plus what he said was inexplicable, so he didn't react for a while.

Yu Dongting stretched out his hand generously

"Hello, I'm a mystery fiction fan, I've read your True Sin series, it's really great, I'm looking forward to more of your works."

Just now, Xiao Yanran also said that she likes mystery novels, and what she gave Song Xiaofang was a feeling of pretending to be almost close, but Yu Dongting gave a completely different feeling, not only was her eyes more sincere, but she could even say her own masterpieces, which made Song Xiaofang feel happy and stretched out her hand enthusiastically

"Where, where."

After Yu Dongting left, Su Yalan said with a serious face

"This man is not simple."

"yes, you've read my work." Song Xiaofang obviously didn't understand what Su Yalan meant.

"I'm not talking about that, he's the same as I think, what is that so-called friend's intentions? Even for your good friend's wife, it would be better to send out an extra invitation than to let her come, as if he was going to gather the nine anyway. ”

Hearing Su Yalan say this, although Song Xiaofang's smile was not so natural, she didn't particularly care, and patted Su Yalan's shoulder

"Don't think too much, this is the real world, and it's not the novels I wrote, how can there be so many conspiracies? Hahaha, maybe that friend didn't believe that there was gold here at all, so he didn't plan to participate at all. ”

"I hope so."
