At this time, Su Cheng found a button next to Tomoko Matsumura's body.

Judging from the style, this button should be on a men's coat, and Su Cheng speculated that the button on her body was most likely torn from the murderer's clothes before Matsumura Tomoko died.

However, this was only his speculation, and this button was not enough direct evidence of murder.

And even if he were to tell this inference, no one would necessarily believe it.

Because these people witnessed Tomoko Matsumura slitting her throat with a fruit knife in front of them, but they didn't know that Tomoko Matsumura had actually been killed before that.

Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes may not be real.

The reason why the murderer directed such a scene was to clear his suspicion and make this homicide look the same as the case three years ago.

And the purpose of this murderer to control the female corpse to kill him was probably because Su Cheng found something unfavorable to him.

"The ghost card?"

Su Cheng's eyes lit up, that deck of playing cards must have been placed on the table by the murderer in advance, and then he stuffed that special ghost card into the playing cards.

The next thing to do is let Tomoko Matsumura draw the corresponding playing cards.

Whoever draws that ghost card will be hypnotized into saying that command.

Then, this horrific scene played out in front of everyone.

In other words, the murderer should have been in the living room at the time, maybe the person in charge of shuffling the cards.

"Hmm~ Why did I fall asleep?" At this time, Sayoka woke up and opened her eyes blankly.

All she remembered was that she had heard a lullaby song when she was in the bathroom, and then she fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up, she found that she was lying on Su Cheng's back, and suddenly Xia Fei's cheeks were flying, and a touch of shyness appeared on her face.

"I heard a noise outside the toilet and then I found you fainting. I guess I was in a coma due to excessive nervousness. "Su Cheng didn't mention the matter of Matsumura Tomoko's corpse, otherwise I'm afraid this girl will faint in fright again.

"I'm sorry, I'm not too heavy." Sayoka felt weak and couldn't walk normally, and said apologetically.

Su Cheng was silent for a while, and said honestly, "Well, it's a bit heavy." ”

“……”

Can you still have a good chat, straight men bet on lonely lives!

After returning to the living room, Su Cheng noticed that there seemed to be a few missing people in the living room. Yoshizawa, who went outside to call the police, has also returned, but judging by his expression, he should have encountered some setback.

"Why have you been there for so long, Satsumi, Natsumi has been looking for you. Didn't I meet you on the road? "A round-faced girl from the photography club came over.

Nightshade shook her head blankly.

Strangely, there is only one road from the living room to the toilet. When Su Cheng walked towards the living room, he didn't see a single figure.

"Don't worry, Natsumi can't find you, you should be back soon." Another girl said comfortingly.

At this time, Oshima, who had not spoken all this time, said with an ugly face, "When Yoshizawa went out just now, he found that the gate of the courtyard was locked, and we are afraid that no one will be able to leave here tonight." ”

Su Cheng, who had already guessed the result, was not surprised, but the other members of the camera club were worried.

"Wait, the lady should have the key to open the door." Sayoka's eyes lit up, she remembered the first few times she had seen the proprietress with a bunch of keys hanging on her body.

When not in use, the keys are kept in the cabinet in her room.

"Speaking of which, where is the proprietress going?" After her reminder, Yoshizawa remembered that he hadn't seen the proprietress since just now.

According to common sense, there was a murder in her homestay, and the proprietress should call the police as soon as possible.

"Nothing will happen to the hostess, right?"

Yoshizawa thought for a moment and said, "The hostess's room is on the second floor, let's go up and have a look, maybe we can find the key to open the door." ”

"I'll go with you."

Su Cheng felt that something must happen next, although staying in the living room with others and waiting until the end of the night could ensure safety, but if he couldn't find clues to crack the incident, he couldn't reach the conditions for customs clearance.

And he wondered who was behind all this.

Just as Su Cheng and Yoshizawa were leaving the living room, they heard a voice sound behind him.

"Oshima-kun, why is there a button missing from your coat?"

Su Cheng chuckled in his heart, but when he turned his head, he saw that there was a button missing from the neckline of the black coat that Oshima was wearing.

"Su Cheng, let's go."

Yoshizawa's voice came from the front, and Su Cheng withdrew his gaze and followed him casually towards the second floor.

Walking up the stairs, the third room around the corner is the hostess's room.

When they came upstairs, the hallway was quiet, and there was no figure in sight.

Yoshizawa and Su Cheng found the hostess's room and knocked on the door outside.

However, after a long time, there was no response from inside.

"The hostess doesn't seem to be in the room." Yoshizawa tried to push the door, but found that the door was unlocked, so he pushed it open.

The room was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"I remember the spare key seemed to be in the cupboard in the room." Yoshizawa walked a few steps and suddenly tripped over something under his feet, and suddenly his center of gravity was unstable and he fell.

At this moment, he inadvertently bumped into a soft object and subconsciously hugged the thing.

Smack.

Su Cheng found the switch of the light, and when he pressed the switch, the whole room lit up.

A burst of faint fragrance penetrated the tip of his nose, and the moment Yoshizawa raised his head, his pupils suddenly shrank into the tip of a needle, and his face revealed an extremely terrifying performance.

"Ahh A frightened scream rang out, and Yoshizawa sat down on the ground in fright, a dampness emanating from his jeans.

A woman with long hair hangs from the ceiling.

Another victim!

Accustomed to this sudden fright, Su Cheng was much calmer than Yoshizawa, and he did not shy away from looking at the woman's face and observing it carefully.

The face of the female corpse became distorted and hideous because of fear, as if she had seen something unbelievable before she died, her eyes were staring deadly, and her tongue was sticking out of her mouth, and it looked like she had just died.

Unexpectedly, the deceased was not the proprietress of the guesthouse, but the girl named Natsumi.

Su Cheng lowered the female corpse from the ceiling and carefully examined the scar on her neck that had been strangled by the rope.

"Natsumi, she also committed suicide like Tomoko?" Yoshizawa breathed a sigh of relief, he wasn't so timid, but he was coldly frightened by the sudden appearance of the corpse.

Su Cheng glanced at him strangely, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you think this girl committed suicide?" ”

Hearing this question, the expression on Yoshizawa's face was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it obvious, judging from the scene, Natsumi hanged herself." ”

However, Su Cheng shook his head and pointed to the strangulation marks on the neck of the female corpse and said, "The strangulation marks on the corpse's neck are not in the right position, she should have been strangled with a rope from behind, and then hung on the ceiling to disguise suicide." ”

The reason why Yoshizawa preconceived the conclusion that Natsumi committed suicide was because someone was deliberately guiding and suggesting that this incident was related to the collective suicide case three years ago, which led them into a psychological misunderstanding.

If it weren't for Su Cheng to crack the truth about Tomoko Matsumura's death, I'm afraid he would also be lost in the fog deliberately created by the murderer.

"You mean, it's a murder?"

Yoshizawa's face changed, and he felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a murderous demon was staring at them in the dark.

Suddenly, Su Cheng saw a strange black shadow flash outside the door of the room.
