Time is like sand between the fingers, inadvertently has passed quietly, the castle under the sunset, full of mysterious colors, however, as if for the occasion or the needs of the celebration, in the afternoon when we were each in the room to make up, the housekeeper and maid on the other side of the manor, also put a white paper lantern cover on the street lamps in the manor, lit up in the dim sky, so that the whole castle added a strange feeling.

However, what made me most depressed was that I found that the makeup props and costumes left in the wardrobe of Mu Zihan's room and I were actually a pair of buddies called "Black and White Impermanence".

However, when we arrived at the festival, I was relieved to see the scene of a hundred ghosts walking in the night. It turned out that not only the guests who were invited, but also the original housekeepers and maids in the manor on the other side were also dressed up as ghosts in traditional Chinese legends.

"Do you want a drink or a drink, or a bowl of old Meng Po soup?" Just when I was in a daze, a woman dressed as Meng Po came to us, leaned over, and pretended to tremble.

"Stop making trouble, Xinyan." Before I could speak, Mu Zihan replied first with an unhappy face.

"Hahaha, you two are too interesting, black and white impermanence, hahaha, too CP, I still really admire the creativity of the owner of this manor." Sure enough, the girl who pretended to be Meng Po was the little pepper Wang Xinyan, and after being recognized, she actually started laughing and teasing me and Mu Zihan directly.

To be honest, in fact, I'm really not used to it, if I have to make a pair with Mu Zihan, why not Niu Tou Ma Noodles?

And at this moment, Liu Zhen, the chief housekeeper dressed as a judge, walked up to all of us with a microphone and said, "First of all, welcome everyone. Then, in order to make it easier for everyone to find my master, we have also arranged some small clues in the venue, and I hope that you can find my master by finding these clues before the end of the celebration. Now, on behalf of my host, I declare that the Midyear Festival celebration has begun! As his words fell, the sound system that had been prepared for a long time began to play music, and the whole celebration finally became completely noisy.

Actually, I don't like this kind of noisy occasion very much, or rather, because it is the first time for me to participate in this kind of celebration, and I am almost not familiar with anyone else except Mu Zihan and Wang Xinyan at the scene, even if Fei Yiping is just a one-sided relationship. I didn't know what I had to do, so I always felt out of place.

Although a maid brought me drinks during the period, Mu Zihan also told me to let go, at this time I should forget my troubles and enjoy myself, but in fact, it is not that I can't let go, but I don't know how to let go at all.

And I saw Han Tao, Zhu Quan, and the foreign girl Millie and Luo Zhigang dressed as ghosts not far away, chatting happily there. I really can't understand that people who were still fighting each other yesterday can actually talk to each other just by putting on makeup!

Eventually, I figured out that since I didn't know them and didn't want to pretend to be with them, I might as well eat on my own. After all, the food in this manor castle tasted really good, so I ignored the rest of me and basically wandered around the table, looking for dishes I hadn't tasted yet.

Before I knew it, it was already 21 o'clock in the evening, and just as I picked up a plate of pumpkin pie and was about to destroy it, the originally noisy music suddenly quieted down, and I saw the "judge" The old butler stepped forward again and said: "Next, it is one thing that must be done in the tradition of the Midyear Festival, burn paper, please see." As he spoke, he pointed his hand in the direction of the manor's door.

As his finger pointed out, we looked over the situation, and saw the beams of four spotlights shooting out from four directions, hitting the large iron basin that had been quietly placed there at some point, illuminating the surroundings.

I don't know how much they had prepared, because the big round iron plate was at least five meters in diameter according to my eyes. Where is this still an iron basin for burning paper, just this area, it is enough to make a small swimming pool.

Then, in the midst of an exclamation, several butlers carried an elongated car-shaped paper cart almost the size of a real car, slowly walked to the iron basin, set it on fire from the four corners, and burned it.

Seeing that the paper cart began to burn, we also gathered around with curiosity.

After the paper cart, there is a mountain of gold three or four meters high, made of gold paper, and then a mountain of silver...... Anyway, one after another was put into the iron basin and burned.

"Hmph, I don't know what to say." Just when I was starting to feel bored, I suddenly heard Mu Zihan's familiar voice in my ears. It's really strange, not long after the celebration began, this kid seemed to disappear, no one was seen, and I didn't know what to do, I thought he was as bored as I was, and slipped back to sleep, but I didn't expect to appear behind me at this time.

"It's really boring." Wang Xinyan, dressed as Meng Po, is actually on the other side behind me, these two people can't have secretly gone to a tryst just now! Hei Impermanence and Meng Po have a tryst, this picture is so beautiful that I dare not think about it.

Just as I was about to turn around and tease the two of them, suddenly, a terrible scream came from the iron basin, and at the same time I saw a figure covered in fire struggling and churning in the blazing fire.

"Ah, there's someone in there!" I don't know who screamed, and then the whole scene was completely chaotic, some kept shouting "save people", some had gone to fetch water without saying a word to prepare to extinguish the fire, and some looked at the fire with a frightened face. And I was also at a loss at the moment, and it took me a while to react and turn around to get water to put out the fire.

However, just as I turned around, I saw Mu Zihan, who was usually not surprised, but he was standing there stunned at the moment, although I couldn't see his expression due to his makeup, but I saw from his eyes that it was full of shock and doubt.

Under the help of everyone, the fire was quickly extinguished, and even black sewage mixed with paper ash accumulated in the iron basin, and the person who was struggling in the fire was finally carried out and placed on the side of the road in the garden.

"Call the police and call an ambulance." I shouted.

"No need to call an ambulance, just call the police, he's dead." Hearing my shout, Mu Zihan, who finally reacted, squatted next to the charred corpse, and said while inspecting: "In addition, everyone should go back to the restaurant on the second floor of the main body of the ancient castle first to confirm that there is no one missing." Chief housekeeper Liu, please go to the police, Siyuan, you go and get a tablecloth. There are also photos of the crime scene with a mobile phone. ”

"Who are you, and why should we listen to you?" Zhu Quan, who had the most temper, seemed to disobey Mu Zihan's command, and asked angrily.

"My name is Mu Zihan and I am a detective. I can tell you that this murderer will never be the only one who will kill this one, so if you don't want to be the next victim, you'd better listen to me and don't leave the restaurant until the police arrive. After Mu Zihan stood up, he looked directly at him and replied.

"Detective!" Knowing Mu Zihan's voice, there was another exclamation from the scene.

"Okay, I also ask for your cooperation with Mr. Xia Mu. Liu Wei, you take everyone back to the restaurant first, and I'll go to the housekeeper's building to call the police. The old butler said with a solemn face.

After that, in the midst of a lot of discussions, everyone followed Liu Wei to the restaurant on the second floor of the main building of the ancient castle, leaving only me and Mu Zihan at the scene.
