"Alright, alright, let's come out, just to talk about what we just experienced! I'm frightened, and no one is allowed to pour it out! The man with the gauze on his face complained, but he didn't move his feet.

The man with his left hand tightly wrapped immediately followed the woman at the door and walked out, and the woman said to him: "You and Mr. Shan take care of Grandpa Yu first, I want to ask Xiaohang a few questions." ”

The man who walked out didn't care, just waved his hand behind him, indicating that he knew. This man is still their helper at the moment.

When there were only two people left, the woman said with a serious expression, "Have you seen the hostess?" ”

"I've only seen one evil ghost, and she wants to hurt me, but I want to just her and the nine people upstairs."

"Xiao Yao said, there is a young, a middle-aged, and an old, who do you think you see?"

"I don't know, maybe only Xiao Yao can guess, but Yan Muheng is very dangerous to Xiao Yao! Although Mr. Detective arrived in time, no one had yet to clean up the mess below. ”

"Are you still going to go back in?"

"Yes, the teacher's words are more important than anything else, and I will go back to help them."

"But ...... your injuries"

"It's okay, Xiaoxiao, you have to be careful here, not to mention that Yan Muheng will change anytime and anywhere, I think you can't ignore Mr. Yu and Shan Mingze, it may be ...... recently"

"Alright, don't say any more, I've got it. The murderer must be among these people, you should be careful. ”

"Understood." The man with the gauze wrapped around his face answered, and then said, "That...... Cissy will she be okay? ”

"No, don't worry! You and Shan Mingze are both infatuated enough. ”

"Isn't it the same with Xiao Meng?"

"He's different from you, forget it, hurry up, I'll take care of the things downstairs."

"Okay."

Looking up at the road he had walked, from his position, he could clearly see outside the crack in the rock, there was nothing unusual there, he was a lot more relieved, threw the sack in front of the table, and then stood up straight and gasped, letting the violently beating heart slowly calm down, and the waist that had been bent for a long time was painful and numb, and he also needed to take a good rest.

For a moment, he habitually rested his hands on the dry part of the rock wall, and his toes kept moving in small increments in his shoes.

The middle-aged woman in the house didn't have much value to him, but the contents of the sack could play a big role. Therefore, it should not be destroyed along with the side house, and it is better to leave white bones and hide them in a certain place in the blue or brown secret passage.

It's not hard to make the contents of the sack white, but it's a little difficult to get the bones into the secret passage without hurting the innocent, and to seamlessly hide from the rest of the family. So he had to 'help' a woman in her 30s by chance and get her 'protection' at the same time.

It can be guessed that now the middle-aged woman has closed the entrances and exits at both ends of the rock hole, and she wants to kill the man, but she never imagined that this kind of behavior just allows the man to be temporarily 'protected', and can be more confident and bold to carry out future actions.

'Hope tomorrow goes well.' The man thought that it would be impossible to say that he had no worries in his heart, because most of the mechanisms in this side house could only be used once, that is, he would only have one chance for tomorrow's action, just like a woman.

After recovering a little, the man who was close to the sixtieth birthday couldn't wait to bypass the sack and walk towards the basement of the side house. The sack is thrown here, you can leave it alone for the time being, and it will be too late to deal with it at night, anyway, the stench will not permeate the house at all.

'I have to find a way to get rid of the little girl on the third floor and let her turn into a white skeleton together, as for the middle-aged woman who controls this house, she alone knows about my existence, it is not a big problem, and it is not difficult to control her. The most troublesome thing is the old woman who is always in the cracks, and I have to keep Eternal away from her no matter what. ’

The room was shrouded in darkness, and from time to time there was a sound of bumps, as if there was a lot of furniture here. Yun Yeyao said to everyone at the front: "Let's stop here first, this is a relatively large room, there is a long oval table next to us, Xiao Heng has already gone to light the lamp, let's move the chair and sit down first, I have something to say to you." ”

As soon as his words fell, the sound of a foot rubbing against the ground was heard in the space, and Yun Yeyao pulled out a chair closest to him and sat down first.

Vaguely, there was indeed no shadow of Yan Muheng next to Mr. Glasses, and he should have gone to find the light switch as he said. But everyone is very skeptical, can the lights be turned on in such a place where no one has been in place for a long time?

Yun Yeyao seemed to know everyone's thoughts, he said: "It's very warm on the third floor, which means that the air conditioner is on all the time, since the air conditioner can be operated, then there should be no problem with the electric lights, so everyone rest assured, sit here and rest for a while." ”

Yun Yeyao seemed to know everyone's thoughts, he said: "It's very warm on the third floor, which means that the air conditioner has been on, since the air conditioner can be operated, then there should be no problem with ordering, so everyone rest assured, sit here and rest first." ”

"But aren't we going to find the mistress quickly? If you waste time here, what if the suspect on the third floor takes the opportunity to run away? Lu Haoyu asked, he groped and sat next to Yun Yeyao, maybe he thought it would be safer.

The others didn't fight with him, and one by one they did it to their companions, and finally Liu Qiaopu and Qin Sen sat together, while Sister Wang and the cook, after everyone sat down, they slowly sat down to the farthest place from Yun Yeyao.

Liu Qiaopu smiled and asked the cook mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, is your heart okay?" ”

"It's okay, but you can't die."

The old woman's voice sounded a little self-defeating, and Liu Qiaopu comforted her and said, "Mother-in-law, everything will be fine, and when I go downstairs, I will ask you to supervise a few little girls to cook for everyone." ”

Countless voices of confession echoed in Sissy's ears, leaving her at peace. The thunderbolt swept through the entire body, every cell was clamoring to stop working, and even the gray brain cells could no longer come up with anything, just kept getting tired of the sound trying to wake them up.

'I don't want it! I don't want you! Stay away from me, please! ’

Struggling to squeeze out the last response in her mind, Cissy struggled to sink into the depths of darkness. But in the next second, her wish was still not fulfilled, and a pair of warm hands pulled her up from the eternal night and returned to the white 'dark forest'.

At this moment, the light in the forest stimulated Xixi's closed eyes and the heart full of holes.

"Sissy, let's go, I'll take you back to the house." An unfamiliar voice sounded in Sissy's ears, with sadness, with love, not a deep love after a torment, but a wishful passion, without any flaws, and without the love that was ready for the future.

Xixi vaguely remembered that this person had hugged her more than once, on this snowy mountain. Maybe it's not too bad, maybe it's still too late. But love and life are sometimes much more fragile than imagined, do they really have time?

——

The rapid knock on the door disturbed the few people who were talking in the entertainment room, and Mei Xiaoxiao's first reaction was to tell everyone to sit quietly and open the door by themselves. She looked at her watch, and it wasn't yet 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Who will knock at the door of the treacherous house at this time? Could it be that something happened to Sissy and the grocery store owner? But it can't be, they should be safe in Wen Yuya's restaurant. Wen Yuya is by Mei Xiaoxiao's side now, the chef is dead, will there be anyone on the periphery who will disturb them?

Mei Xiaoxiao quickened his pace and rushed to the door, although all the people in the entertainment room did not dare to leave, but everyone looked in the direction of the restaurant, hoping that nothing big would happen.

About five or six minutes later, a small exclamation came from the door: "What did you say?!" Cissy didn't come back to the house! ”

"Thinking started to give me headaches, and it got worse and worse, and every time my temples twitched, I couldn't help but fall asleep, and then I either dreamed long or walked into the gloomy dark forest to see another self."

"The other self is really different from reality, she is cold, selfish, and just wants to get out of the dark forest and control my brain forever. So every time, I would argue with her in my dreams, but when she said the words 'family in the dark forest', I had to compromise, and I didn't know what these words meant, but I couldn't control myself. ”

"So, I became her more and more often, and as time went on, when she appeared, she would write a message to me in my notebook, and every time she left a message, she would write a little bit about the Strange House, which made me more and more interested in the Strange House, and I thought, maybe I was also a part of the Strange House. This is the home I have been dreaming of for a long time, with my family company. ”

"So I took this opportunity to propose that everyone come to Dai Zong Mountain to play, and I also proposed to take everyone to the halfway up the mountain to see the snow, none of those guys doubted it, it was really ridiculous, they usually disdained me, but now they all trust me so much."

"But I don't have any plans, I just want to see the treacherous house." Meng Qi'er said as she got up from the ground, blood still dripping from under her body, large patches of blood.

What did 'Yan Muheng' suddenly realize? He looked at the blood on Meng Qi'er's body and asked, "You, where did you get these blood stains?" ”

"She gave it to me......" Meng Qi'er said.

"Who gave it to you? Where was it given to you? Is it the blood of those chickens in restaurants? ”

However, there were too many questions, and Meng Qi'er didn't have time to answer, because things suddenly changed at this time, not only 'Yan Muheng' didn't expect it, but even Meng Qi'er herself didn't expect that she was about to become a real corpse and a tool used by someone to frame the criminal police.

After the quarrel ended, Yun Yeyao picked up the topic he had just asked and asked Yan Muheng: "Xiao Heng, didn't you find the light switch?" ”

"I found it, but it's broken, and it can't be opened." Yan Muheng replied.

Yun Yeyao then asked again: "Is the injury on your hand okay?" ”

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. By the way, aren't you going to ask the cook about the past? Then hurry up and ask. ”

At this time, Liu Qiao Pu also urged: "Xiao Yao, you hurry up and ask, if there is no electric light, we can't stay in the dark for too long." ”

"I know, Grandpa Liu, but this is the place where the hostess used to be, and I hope to be able to fix the electric lights and take a good look at them. Perhaps, it can also make the memory of the cook mother-in-law a little clearer. Yun Yeyao's words obviously mean something, but it is the criminal police and the cook herself, and everyone present should be able to hear it.

Everyone turned their eyes to the cook's mother-in-law and Sister Wang, although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but the outline of their bodies could still be roughly seen. Qin Sen opened his mouth and asked: "Mr. Yun, the cook and Sister Wang have said in person that they have never been to the third floor at all, why do you say that this place can make the memory of the cook mother-in-law clearer?" ”

Facing Qin Sen's questioning, Yun Yeyao pointed at the cook and said, "Let my mother-in-law tell you by herself, although she has told me very clearly before, but now, I still hope that my mother-in-law can say it herself, why does she keep lying to us?" ”

"Mr. Yun, I don't think I ever told you that I had ever been to the third floor of the main house." The cook asked Yun Yeyao rhetorically, her voice revealed that she was weak, no different from just now.

Yun Yeyao asked, "Do you remember the first time we talked in the entertainment room?" ”

"Yes."

"You said that through the doors of the second and third floors here, only the hostess and the housekeeper know, and the hostess usually does not mention it, and only reminds guests when they come or occasionally remember, what does this mean?"

"The hostess doesn't want anyone to casually enter the upper floor of the main house, so she will remind the new guests, when you first arrived here, didn't Mr. Housekeeper also take care of Sister Wang to remind you?" The cook replied to Yun Yeyao, she hadn't figured out what Yun Yeyao meant by this?

But Yun Yeyao's next sentence made the cook mother-in-law speechless for an instant.

"My question is, are the hostess and the housekeeper reminding you? Or is it a reminder to the guests? ”

“……”

"Mr. Housekeeper thought you were all asleep and sneaked into the bell tower, Mr. Qiao overheard his voice, opened the door and peeked, only to find that he had entered Mr. Lu's room. At that time, Mr. Qiao thought that you were plotting something? But he leaned on the door of Mr. Lu's room and didn't hear anything, and when he told us about it, we were also very confused. ”

"We never found the right reason, and then, after Mr. Butler's accident, Mr. Joe came knocking on your door and asked you to go downstairs with him. He knocked for a long time and didn't hear a response, and finally you looked confused when you came out, Grandpa Liu and I both wondered if you were drugged? ”

"Thinking of the fact that it was Mr. Butler who prepared the drink for us after lunch, and the fact that Mr. Butler sneaked into your room, we roughly assumed that he should have drugged you to keep you awake in the room. But with that alone, we still don't understand, what is he going to do in your room? ”

"It wasn't until Xiaohang discovered the secret of the double door that we suddenly realized that Mr. Butler wanted to go inside the bell tower, and he didn't fall from the overpass at all, but was pushed down from the top of the bell tower, otherwise, there were so many people moving in the tower at that time, and anyone who wanted to move the butler's body near the overpass could not guarantee that he would be able to escape everyone's sight."

"Most people go back to the building to rest at that point, and if the suspect goes directly to the corridor, it is completely self-digging. It is even more troublesome if you take the secret passage, the secret passage between the two towers does not go through the sky bridge, and there are only two ways to get to the sky bridge: one is to enter the empty room that no one lives in from a secret room, and then enter the sky bridge through the normal corridor, which is no different from going directly to the corridor. ”

"The other is to go directly through all the secret passages, and then go around from the rest of the house to the overpass, then the only possibility is the roof, the wind and snow outside are so big, it is very difficult for a person to climb the roof alone, let alone drag an obese person, I think, even Xiao Meng can not complete such a task without the help of a ladder."

Yun Yeyao's warm smile made the cook's mother-in-law feel a lot more settled, she continued: "I won't say much about the things before following An Ze to the Spiegel House, let me talk about it later, the Spiegel House was built in 1998, and the only people who came to live here at that time were me, An Ze and An Qian were three people, An Qian is An Ze's daughter, who had just graduated from elementary school when she came, that is, a teenage girl." ”

"At that time, I didn't have anything to do, and I didn't have to do kitchen work, and after Anze arrived here, he found a maid in the mountains to do the housework for us. Except for the loneliness of life, I bring some, and nothing else. ”

Yun Yeyao asked, "Mother-in-law, how old were you when you arrived at Spiegel?" ”

"Thirty-six or seventeen years old, I remember that I was 37 years old, and I just turned 36."

"What is the relationship between you and Anze?"

"I'm Ancy's governess, her stand-in, or more accurately, the manager of Spiegel."

"In other words, until Mr. Butler arrives, actually, it's your duty as a travel butler, right?"

"Yes, the maid didn't live at home at that time, and Anze and Anxi were in complete seclusion, so I took care of everything inside and out." The mother-in-law said, "Also, Anze demanded that I must declare myself to be his daughter to the outside world in order to hide Anxi's identity. ”

Between the pauses in the words, the cook overflowed a sigh from her mouth, which was a particularly deep and sad sigh, which seemed to sigh out the depression that the cook's mother-in-law had buried deep in her heart for many years.

She continued: "I don't remember what my own parents looked like, all I can remember is what I just said. For Anze, I am just a stand-in, a tool to cover his cash cow, and this cash cow is Anze's own daughter Anxi. ”

"Anze adopted me when I was not yet 20 years old, and at that time, he had just turned 40 and quit his job as a geography teacher to concentrate on his daughter's dreams. In fact, all of you have been deceived, and his so-called prophecy was not conceived by himself at all, but all came from the dreams of his own daughter. ”

I'm over 30 years old, and there's no way to spend it in such an unexplained life, I have to have all my own strength, and the wealth in this house, so I got rid of the old guy who was in control on the surface, and let him go to hell.

As the old fellow's body decomposed on the underground stairs between the bookcases, I had nightmares every day about him walking towards me with a maggot-infested face. His hands, in particular, were always reaching out to me, their fingernails covered with dirt, and each fingertip seemed to tear me apart and stuff me into the sack that held him.

Even though I was scared, so scared that I couldn't sleep all night, I still didn't intend to back down because my future was at stake. I don't want to be a controlled puppet forever, I hope that the future of Xiao and Xiao will be carefree, but if you don't get rid of this old guy, Xiao Xiao will be kicked out of the mirror house by him one day.

Finally, one day close to April, the old guy accidentally caught me and Xiao in the study on a date, and immediately became furious, and I took the opportunity to simply have a showdown with him, and pushed him into the deep darkness of hell. I didn't expect that he would have no power to fight back, and he would not be as strong and fearless as I usually see.

At the moment of his death, I almost used a mood of joy, looking at that face covered with cold sweat and wrinkles, although it was disgusting, I did not want to take my eyes off it at all. Less than shivering with fear on the side, like a puppy abandoned by its owner, desperately seeking my help.

For a long time after that, I tried to comfort him as best I could, trying to make him forget what had happened in his study. I thought that as long as I let Xiao Xiao become the controller of Spiegel House and let him manage everything, he would stay here and live happily ever after with me.

But what shocked me more than the deceased was that Xiao Xiao has not been freed from fear and fear, although it is said that there is a person in the house who dies, everyone will be very afraid, but Xiao is not afraid in the ordinary sense, he is in extreme tension every moment of every day, making people feel that he has no other emotions except fear.

Later, I realized that it was not the fear that others had brought him, but that he himself felt that he would face death at any time and place. Xiao told me that the corpse in the study had been hovering in her mind, clamoring to kill him, and he couldn't get out of the restraints at all. Even more excessive, less than from that day onwards, like a ghost, watching my every move, as if I would kill him at once as soon as I turned around, or, at the slightest change of thought.
