Chapter 19: Rotting Corpses
"Yellow cats, white cats, black cats, raccoon cats; Hunter, detective, teacher, victim. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A minor tune hummed by a male voice came from the corridor, Xu Tian immediately felt a chill down his spine, Sitong grabbed Xu Tian's arm tightly, and both of them showed frightened eyes.
"Xu Tian! This tune is ......," Si Tong said tremblingly.
"In the village, that little tune is humming red!" Xu Tian said in horror.
As he spoke, a young man with squinting eyes and a little yellow cat poked his head into the room at the door. "Hey!"
"Meow...... Meow...... "The little yellow cat broke free from the young man's arm, ran into the room like crazy, and got under the bed.
"It looks like it's very intimate with you." The young man squinted.
Xu Tian ignored the young man, leaned sideways and took Sitong's hand and leaned out of the door, at this time Teacher Jin was no longer in the corridor, only seven or eight waiters standing side by side remained.
"What are you looking for?" The young man squinted.
"Who are you?" Xu Tian asked with a calm face.
"Friends, your friends, appreciate your friends." The young man poked the bridge of his nose with his right index finger. "It's supposed to be my own people, so I should be right."
Facing this strange person in front of him, Xu Tian felt very uncomfortable all over, especially the oily and smooth tone, and the squinting eyes that pretended to smile, the person in front of him made Xu Tian feel as if he had seen it somewhere.
"What tune did you just hum?" Xu Tian asked.
"Aha? Are you interested in my tune? Shouldn't you ask me what my name is first? Age, place of employment, marital status? The young man said, pretending to be surprised.
Sitong pulled Xu Tian, and the two retreated into the room, at this time, the little yellow cat under the bed suddenly pounced out, stretched out two pink meat pads to hug Sitong's ankles.
"It likes you very much, beautiful young lady. No, it should be...... Beautiful girl! Ahaha......" said the young man, squinting and scratching his head.
Sitong was very disgusted with such people, and at this time, a figure suddenly flashed in Sitong's mind, such an oily tone, and disgusting words......
"You...... It's you? Si Tong was shocked.
"The beautiful girl seems to think of me!" The young man squinted.
"Can you please stop talking like that?" Sitong frowned and scolded the young man angrily. "You are a big man, can you speak without adding a tail note? That's, you know? ”
"Oops!" The young man was very dissatisfied with Sitong's reprimand. "Don't like it? But the guy next to you must like it, and he wants to say that to you from the bottom of his heart, but I deduce that he probably hasn't spoken to you like that. ”
"Be careful when you speak." Xu Tian grabbed the young man's neck. "Don't act in front of me, what's next? Tell me quickly. ”
"It's boring." The young man shook Xu Tian's hand away. "The rules of the game are very simple, just like this little yellow cat, it sneaked into a crime scene, but on the surface, there are a total of four corpses at the crime scene, and the one in the corridor is not counted!"
"What is the reasoning? Why don't corpses in the hallway count? ”
"Because the corpse played a role in ending the previous game, it doesn't count. Now the four corpses in the room were shot to death, and finding out the killer will cost you a win. The young man looked at his watch. Time is tight and you only have half an hour. ”
Xu Tian took Sitong's hand and walked to the bed, covered Sitong's eyes with one hand, and lifted the heavy mattress with the other hand, and a decomposed corpse appeared in front of Xu Tian's eyes.
The corpse was wrapped in plastic wrap, so it didn't emit a foul smell, but Xu Tian could tell with his eyes that the corpse had been dead for at least a month.
"Well done." The young man squinted at the door.
Xu Tian sniffed the plastic wrap closely, and then went around to the other side of the bed to carefully observe the corpse in front of him.
"Is this decomposing corpse connected to these four students?"
"They killed the body a month ago, and they're here because of this case, right? Zhang Bin. The young man picked up Zhang Bin, who was lying in a pool of blood, and said.
Zhang Bin opened his eyes suddenly, coughed vigorously twice, and his heavy body slipped from the young man's hands again.
"Ghosts! Ghosts! Zhang Bin shouted as he crawled towards the door.
The young man grabbed Zhang Bin's arm and threw Zhang Bin at Xu Tian's feet effortlessly.
Xu Tian squatted down to check Zhang Bin's injuries, although the wound was still bleeding, but the crossbow arrow did not hit Zhang Bin's vital point.
"Who shot you?" Xu Tian asked.
"That's it...... That's him! Zhang Bin pointed to the corpse in the plastic wrap and said.
"What do you see?" Xu Tian asked.
"When you go out, the lights go out in the house, and then the bed is lifted, and the dead man stands up and shoots us with a crossbow, and that's it!" Zhang Bin said in horror.
"Now that the lights are out, how do you tell if the bed has been lifted?"
"Lightning! In a flash of lightning, the pitch-black body was holding a crossbow towards us. ”
"Then why are you okay?"
"I ...... I was quickly lying on the ground, I didn't dare to look up, but a few arrows hit me. ”
However, Xu Tian did not find a crossbow in the room, and Xu Tian also felt that what Zhang Bin said was nonsense.
However, there must have been a person who shot the four students in the room just now, but the female classmate who walked out was not shot in the room, and it was obvious that the female classmate was the ghost arranged here by the ruling Tai Sui.
Xu Tian was also very suspicious of Zhang Bin, the other three people had already choked their breath, this Zhang Bin was very well disguised before, and he couldn't tell that he was pretending to be dead at all, and even Xu Tian felt that Zhang Bin was really dead.
"...... here" Xu Tian turned around and wanted to talk to the young man, but at this time there was no one at the door, only the little yellow cat looking into the corridor.
Xu Tian wanted to chase after him, but after thinking about it, no one could be watching at the scene of the crime, and if he chased it out at this time, it would inevitably give Zhang Bin a chance to escape, because no matter how you look at this case, Zhang Bin was committing the crime.
"Do you have eyebrows?" Suddenly, a deep voice came from the doorway.
"Teacher Jin?" Xu Tian said suspiciously.
"You shouldn't believe such a thing as a dead man standing up and killing someone, right? Tell us what you think! Teacher Jin leaned against the door frame and said calmly.
"If you want to solve this case, as long as you find the murder weapon, the truth will be revealed, and the murderer has time to throw away the murder weapon from the window, can I get out of the mansion now?"
"Is that necessary?" Mr. Jin took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, lit them elegantly, and took a deep breath.
