After disposing of Zhang Ying's body, everyone gathered in the living room, the good housekeeper Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong were there, they were sitting on chairs, and a few of us were crowded on the sofa.

Xu Yingjun was in a trance, he tried hard to cheer up, but soon his eyes would be red again, Xu Guanyang and Yan Bin sat on his left and right and sandwiched him, for fear that he would not be able to think of doing something for a while.

The calmest one is the Qiu poet, who was dominated by Yan Bin before, but now Yan Bin's skin and face are swollen, and his mood is not very stable, so the Qiu poet asked: "Let's talk about it." ”

The three words of Qing Qing and cold are to have the ability to let everyone know what he wants everyone to say.

I looked at everyone, another one died, the atmosphere was even more dull, invisible grief and fear surrounded everyone, everyone's face was not very good, I thought about it, and spoke first: "I woke up from a sleep and found that you were not ......" looked at the poet.

"When Yin Yan and Yan Bin finished the night vigil to change me and the pan halberd, there was a noise outside, and Yin Yan and I went out to have a look, Yan Bin stayed in the room and continued to guard you, but after we went out, we walked around the villa and didn't find anything, and when we came back, we found that you were all in the living room, and Zhang Ying was gone."

Including Yin Yan, Yan Bin and Panji all nodded.

I continued: "I looked around the living room, looked in the yard, didn't see the inside and went back to the second floor, met Zhang Ying in the corridor, she said she was going to the toilet, when she entered the bathroom, she told me hide and seek, can you find her These two strange words, I waited outside the bathroom for a while She didn't come out, so I went back to the room, but Yan Bin told me that Zhang Ying didn't go out, but the quilt on the bed was covered with a pillow." ”

Yan Bin took over with a solemn face: "Speaking of which, I really can't figure it out, during the previous mission, I didn't make a mistake in the record of staring at the target for three days and three nights, and this time it was only the middle of the night, and I was also very sure that I didn't fall asleep, and I couldn't hide any movement, but ......" He looked at Xu Yingjun with a complicated look, "I don't know when your wife came out, if Xiaolan didn't come back to tell me, I wouldn't know your wife was gone." ”

Xu Yingjun's hands trembled.

Xu Guanyang picked his hair: "From Mei Li to Zhang Ying, it's so weird, I have to wonder if there are really ghosts in this world." ”

As for the timeline or something, before Zhang Ying disappeared, he and Xu Yingjun were asleep.

Qiu Shiren turned his gaze to the good housekeeper and Xiaoqiu Xiaodong, they consciously said that before they heard everyone shouting Zhang Ying, they were all in their own room, Xiaoqiu Xiaodong was a room, the good housekeeper was next to them, and they had never been out of the room, but no one testified to them, but they couldn't prove that they had anything to do with it.

The most important thing now is the asymmetry of time, I saw Zhang Ying go into the toilet, until she disappeared, and finally found her body, it was too fast...... Is there really a ghost that neither I nor the poet can detect?

I leaned on Qiu Shishi and looked up at him, he gently patted on me, as if thinking about something, and suddenly looked at Xiao Dong: "I remember, there is a doll in our room, which was handed over to you before going to bed last night?" ”

Xiao Dong was puzzled, and suddenly called her by name, she looked a little scared: "Yes, yes." ”

"Then why did the doll get back to the door of our room?"

Yes, I remembered it as soon as Qiu Shishi mentioned it, and I wanted to ask, but I went out early during the day, and then Mei Li ...... I forgot about it.

Xiao Dong was even more confused when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again in a panic: "No, no, I took the doll away and put it in the warehouse downstairs, and I didn't take it again." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Xiaoqiu and the good housekeeper beside her, wanting them to help, for fear that we would rely on her.

Xiaoqiu and the good housekeeper also said that they hadn't touched any dolls again, and they had also seen Xiaodong put the doll in the warehouse before, and then everyone went to bed, Xiaoqiu said that Xiaodong had never left the room.

If Xiaoqiu didn't lie for Xiaodong, then, was it the doll who ran up again?

But we checked the doll, and the doll was just an ordinary doll, huh?

Qiu Shishi immediately said, "Let's go and have a look, and," he asked Xu Yingjun, "Did you have a doll in your room last night?" ”

Xu Yingjun nodded, and then straightened up: "Yes, yes, the clothes on the doll in my room are exactly the same as the one Xiao Ying wore just now!" ”

Xu Guanyang also shouted: "And the doll in my room, the clothes on her body are the same as those on Mei Li's body!" ”

"It's no accident, everybody goes up and looks at it and collects all the dolls."

Everyone didn't dare to go away alone now, so they went to each room in twos and twos, went to take out the dolls, and finally returned to the living room, five rooms, there should have been five dolls, but only three were obtained, two were missing, and those two, respectively, were in Mei Li and Xu Guanyang's room, Xu Yingjun and Zhang Ying's room, and no one believed the coincidence.

The remaining three dolls look very similar, the only difference is that the princess puffy skirt on the body is slightly different in style and color, Yan Bin looked at it one by one and asked the good housekeeper: "Where did these dolls come from?" ”

"Originally, if you look at this house and the surrounding rooms, you can see that the theme here is on the horror side, and putting dolls is one of the designs of the year, and it has always been there." The good housekeeper said, and couldn't help but glance at the three dolls, and then looked away in horror, "This has never happened so terrible before. ”

"So," said the poet, "where did the two dolls go?" ”

Xu Guanyang shook his head: "I have searched for all my rooms, and I remember that when I left in the morning, I put it on the table, and I glanced at it at that time." ”

As he spoke, he hit Xu Yingjun with his arm, Xu Yingjun cheered up and said, "I heard you say last night that the humanoid doll should not be put on the bed, me and ...... After my wife and I went back to the room, my wife threw the doll aside, I was never superstitious before, and I didn't like dolls, so I didn't pay attention to it, but I was sure that it was indeed in the room, but I didn't find it. ”

I always feel that the more I think about it, the creepier it becomes, especially when I look down at the three dolls, their big eyes seem to be looking at me, I can't see anything wrong with them, and I still feel a cold sweat behind my back.

Since the more I have been exposed to this kind of thing, I have become resistant to ordinary ghosts, especially since I came back five hundred years ago, I almost thought that this kind of thing could not scare me, but now that I think about it, I still think highly of myself.

Qiu Shiren clasped his arms with both hands, concentrating on something, after he didn't speak, the others didn't speak, the whole living room was weirdly quiet, Xu Guanyang also ran to turn on all the lights that could be turned on in the living room, thought about it, and ran over to turn on the lights on the stairs without letting go of them, and then suddenly screamed.

Attracted by his shout, everyone looked over and saw a person standing on the stairs, silently, which would indeed frighten people in the current situation.

"Ban Zhi, what are you doing standing here?" Xu Guanyang patted his chest and said angrily.

I was also surprised, only then did I find out that Ban Zhi had not followed us all along, whether it was when she was looking for Zhang Ying at the earliest, or when she went to find a doll and came back to discuss, Ban Zhi was absent?

Ban Zhi glanced at Xu Guanyang lightly and walked down slowly.

"Where have you been?" After Ban Zhi approached us, Pan Zhi questioned first, with concern in his tone.

"It's in the room." Ban Zhi said lightly, glanced at the pan halberd steadily, and then for the first time did not sit next to Yin Yan, but walked to the pan halberd and sat down.

Xu Guanyang, who walked back after turning on all the lights, said: "Everyone is here, and you are alone in the room?" "Probably scared just now, Xu Guanyang was a little hostile.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Xu Guanyang snorted, walked over and sat down, and subconsciously asked Qiu Shishi, "What should we do next?" ”

Qiu Shiren stared at the doll: "Wait! ”

"What?"

"No matter who the murderer is or what the purpose is, he will never stop."

As long as he makes a move, there will definitely be clues left.

It's just something like, "Isn't there any one of us who will be there...... Die? ”

The word "death" was uttered almost tremblingly.

With the strange death of two people in a row, no matter how strong the psychological quality is, it will inevitably produce fear and great psychological pressure.

I looked at Qiu Shishi again, and he didn't seem to be anything wrong, but the tacit understanding between them made me feel that he was hiding something from me, or from everyone.

But I didn't ask, he didn't hurt me, he just said to everyone: "Don't leave everyone in the future, at least make sure that two people are awake." ”

The others agreed, and rearranged the vigil, and during the time they were in charge of the guard, they must be awake, and as for the others, although they may not be able to sleep, they will be on the couch and will take a nap before they know it.

I leaned on the poet, but I didn't fall asleep, trying to go through everything that happened after we came here, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and I had no clue in my head.

I thought time passed very slowly, but in fact, when my thoughts were confused, when I was thinking chaotically, time often passed quickly, and before I knew it, the sky outside was a little cloudy.

The people around him all have green shadows now, and they haven't slept well when they think about it, but they haven't moved, and they look lifeless.

Just when I was thinking about how to regulate everyone's emotions after dawn, Xu Yingjun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up.

"Xiaoying, it's Xiaoying!" He shouted in the direction of the door, and ran over quickly, everyone was a little listless at that time, Xu Yingjun's movements were too sudden, and by the time he reacted, he had already opened the door of the living room.

The wind blew in, and even the morning fog rolled in, mixed with several dead leaves, and there was a white expanse outside, Xu Yingjun shouted Xiaoying in his mouth, and rushed out, and the tall figure was about to be submerged in the fog in the blink of an eye.

"Handsome!"

"Xu Yingjun!"

My brother and Panji shouted and chased after them, and when they went out of the door, they couldn't see Xu Yingjun's figure, Yan Bin scolded with an ugly face: "Damn, what kind of madness is he doing?" ”

"Let's get him back first, but don't anything happen to me again."

I don't know where Xu Yingjun ran, so we were divided into two groups, I must be with Qiu Shishi, and I also took Xu Guanyang, went out from the left side of the courtyard, and only went around half a circle, and I saw Xu Yingjun holding a big tree.

Xu Guanyang was the first to run up and grab him: "It's dangerous for you to run out like this, do you know?" ”

Xu Yingjun, who was pulled away from the tree by Xu Guanyang, struggled, and Xu Guanyang was so angry that he gave him a fist: "You are sober, is this Zhang Ying, is this the tree, open your eyes and see clearly!" ”

Although it is a cruel thing to force him to recognize the facts, but the current situation does not allow Xu Yingjun to fall into his own world to go crazy, seeing him run out alone, everyone followed out to find it, two have already died, who knows who will be next?

Xu Yingjun was a little sober after being punched, and finally took a good look at the big tree he was holding, let go of his hand blindly, and looked at us inexplicably: "I, why am I here?" ”

“…… You just ran out shouting and shouting your wife's name, did you forget? ”

"Huh? Oh, it seems to be. Xu Yingjun responded in a trance.

Xu Guanyang hated and wanted to punch him again, but thinking that it was his beloved wife who died, he endured the resentment that hatred was not made of steel.

"Since it's okay, let's go back." Qiu Shidao, who always remains calm.

Xu Yingjun nodded sheepishly, and was dragged back by Xu Guanyang, and Qiu Shiren and I followed.

In front of the courtyard of the villa, I met Yan Bin, Yin Yan, and Ban Zhi, who also turned back, as well as the good housekeeper and Xiaoqiu Xiaodong, who were standing at the door of the main house and waiting anxiously.

Yan Bin was the first to rush over: "Xu Yingjun, do you remember that you are a policeman, you are so uncalm, have you lost all the previous training to the instructor?" If you do this nonsense again, I'll be the first to kill you. ”

It seems that he is really angry.

"Okay, okay, it's okay." The good housekeeper walked out and took two steps to play a round game, "Everyone is still entering the house, and the fog seems to be getting bigger and bigger, which is really unreassuring." ”

People are always like this, even if Zhang Ying died in the house, compared to the outside environment, everyone is more inclined to hide in the house to be safer.

Just as everyone was walking inside, I paused suddenly, looked back and forth between our side and Yin Yan's side, and hurriedly asked, "Where is my brother?" He seems to be following you, right? ”

Everyone was stunned at the same time, Yin Yan and Yan Bin turned around at the same time, but when they saw that they were behind them, they didn't see the figure of the pan halberd, and Rao is calm Yin Yan changed his face: "What about the pan halberd?" ”

I yelled in the direction they had just come, "Which way did you just go?" Which way? ”

Yin Yan and Yan Bin both caught up, and Yan Bin showed me the way: "This side we just left, your brother may have been delayed by something, it's okay." ”

But we all know in our hearts, my brother's temper, although his temper is not very good, but Xu Yingjun can't compare to the degree of reliability, how can he leave the team for no reason, not to mention, what kind of people are Yan Bin and Yin Yan, if I hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't even notice that my brother was gone, how could this be, Yan Bin is the captain of the police team who has repeatedly solved serious cases!

Sure enough, not to mention the route they had taken before, we still rummaged around, but we didn't see my brother.

Mei Li is dead, I can calm down, Zhang Ying is dead, I feel sorry and sad, I can still calm down, now that my brother is gone, the more I look for it, the more panicked I become: "What about people, what about people?" ”

I was so anxious that my voice choked.

The others had the heart to comfort me, but they didn't know what to say, so they could only follow me silently, and they didn't dare to leave too far from each other, for fear that they would not see another one.

Unconsciously, I entered the nearby woods, and I was about to go to dig up the soil, when Qiu Shishi, who was silently following me a step or two away, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed me and dragged me into his arms.

A fear rose in my heart that I couldn't suppress.

No, it won't, it's impossible!

I was silent in Qiu Shishi's arms for a few seconds and then struggled, Qiu Shiren had no choice but to let go of me, I looked at Xu Guanyang with a high heart, and saw that they were all stunned and looked up at it, and I also looked up.

It was probably the tallest tree in the grove, and at the top of the tree hung a large "doll" on it, and the beautiful princess tutu looked even hazy in the mist, but no matter how beautiful the face in the wig was, I could recognize it as my brother's face!

My eyes widened, the back of my teeth clenched, and my whole body shook uncontrollably......

I stared at his face, and my mind was full of my brother's things.

When he secretly took me out to play and was caught by my parents, every time he came back from a business trip to bring me back a gift, he hated me for not being angry and helped me out, when he yelled at Yan Bin not to rob my sister with him, when I was missing for seven days and finally broke into my house......

When he laughed happily, when he was angry, when he was worried and distressed, everything about him was never so clear as this moment.

My brother, the brother who loves me the most, no, gone?

I ran distractedly towards the tree.

"Brother, brother...... I'll go up and save you, I'll save you, you wait for me, you wait for me......"

"Banlan!"

When I was about to climb up the tree, Qiu Shishi hugged me into his arms again, pressed my face into his arms despite my struggle, I heard movement behind me, as if someone was climbing the tree, I wanted to look back, Qiu Shiren did not allow it.

Slowly, I lost the strength to struggle, and fell limply into his arms, biting his shoulder hard, and letting out a little beast's dying-like whimper.

The pan halberd was removed from the tree by Yan Bin and the others, and it was placed flat on the ground, and the face of the pan halberd that had been dressed up in hardcover looked very peaceful, and he should not have been too frightened before he died.

I had already been let go of the poet Qiu, and I was standing by in a daze looking at the pan halberd, my mind blank.

Even if two people died before and after, I never thought that the next one would be my brother...... I never thought my brother would die!

Everyone surrounded the panhalberd in silence, and Xu Yingjun suddenly knelt down and slapped himself twice: "It's all my fault, if I don't run out, I won't ...... It won't ...... It's all my fault! ”

In fact, I know in my heart that Xu Yingjun will suddenly call Zhang Ying to run out, it is not just that he is mentally distracted and hallucinating, the murderer wants to kill my brother, and he will find all kinds of methods, Xu Yingjun did not run out, there will be other people.

But now my whole body is numb, I can't say any words of comfort, even if reason tells me that it's not anyone's fault, there is still a trace of resentment, and it slowly ferments in my heart.

It was suggested that the pancake be sent back to the villa first, and that I be left outside, and then I was pulled and silently followed.

On the way back, I met Ban Zhi, who was standing at the back.

I have been enduring it when we meet again, enduring the resentment of this sister, the hatred of my sister, but at this moment I don't know what happened to me, like a balloon that was punctured, it burst with a "bang".

I rushed up and grabbed her, staring at her viciously: "You tell me, isn't it you, isn't it?" ”

Ban Zhi's face was expressionless, as if Ban Zhi's death could not make waves rise in her heart, her eyes were cold and indifferent, and her voice was gloomy: "No! ”

"How is it possible, for no reason, how could you invite me here, didn't you have to see me the most? What the hell do you want to do, Panji is also your brother, do you still treat yourself as a human being, Ban Zhi! ”

Ban Zhi shook off my hand: "Of course I know that Panji is my younger brother, so what about you Ban Lan, do you treat him as an elder brother?" Her eyes widened slightly, glaring at me, "Have you forgotten what I told you," she leaned closer to me, and a low and cold voice penetrated into my ears, "Everyone who is around you will be affected by you, and it will not end well, I said that the whole family will die because of you, now it's the pan halberd, who will it be next, do you want to guess?" ”

"Ahh

But when I was about to get Ban Zhi again, I was caught by Qiu Shishi, he locked me, stroked my back with one hand, wanted to calm my emotions, glanced at Ban Zhi fiercely, and said to the others: "Go back." ”

Because of my affairs, everyone stood here in embarrassment, and everyone who knew about it knew that our "four-cornered relationship" was stimulated by Pan's death.

Everyone subconsciously obeyed the order of the Qiu poet, and no one said much, carrying the pan halberd, Yin Yan came over to grab Ban Zhi and went back to the villa.

The good housekeeper, a man who seemed calm and heavy on the first day of meeting, sighed again and again when he saw the panhalberd.

Yan Bin asked him, "Has the phone line been repaired?" ”

"It's repaired, but it still can't get through, how is it good, you have been here for five days, and today is only the next day, and you have to wait until you find out that something is wrong and come up to rescue, how can it be five days later?"

Xu Guanyang walked into the living room with a dejected face, Yan Bin's eyebrows were also tired, his brows were locked and he was thinking of a way, and suddenly, he heard Xu Guanyang shouting again.

The others hurried over, only to see Xu Guanyang pointing to the doll on the table, with a frightened face: "No, it's gone, the doll is gone." ”
