Seeing that the old housekeeper was leaving, Mu Zihan suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked while pushing open the door: "Oh, by the way, Steward Liu, may I ask how many guests your master has invited to this Midyear Festival celebration?" ”

"Originally, it was thirteen, but now with Miss Wang, it is fourteen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" After the old butler finished speaking, he bowed respectfully, and then turned and left.

Seeing the old housekeeper leaving, Mu Zihan and I also walked into the room arranged for us, of course, Wang Xinyan couldn't be in the same room with us. Her room is next door to us, although it can be seen that she doesn't want to go back to the room alone because of her fear, but because of my existence, it is obviously impossible for her to share a room with Mu Zihan.

After entering the room, after simply placing the luggage we were carrying, I sat down with Mu Zihan on the sofa in the room. Anyway, it seems that the guests haven't arrived yet, and it's not time to start the meal, and the old housekeeper told us not to run around. Therefore, now that we have nothing to do, we can only discuss and discuss this strange manor castle on the other side and this inexplicable Midyear Festival celebration.

"I didn't expect that this so-called Midyear Festival celebration only invited thirteen guests, so where can a little person be considered a celebration, it's just a wicked private party made by a rich person." I sat on the couch and looked at the lavishly decorated room.

I sighed in my heart, even the guest's room is so luxuriously decorated, how rich is the owner of this manor, I remember that not long ago, I couldn't take out the whole 100 yuan in my pocket, it is really more popular than people.

"The bullshit celebration is nothing more than 'The Last Supper', but, you're right about one thing, the owner of this manor is really wicked." Mu Zihan sat lazily on the sofa and said.

"The Last Supper?" I asked a little bit incomprehensibly.

"You've probably heard of the famous Italian artist Leonardo? Reach? Finch's drawing. Mu Zihan said

"Of course, I know, it seems to be a picture of Jesus having his last dinner with his twelve apostles before he was captured." I'm even more confused, this is fundamentally unrelated to this midyear festival celebration, why did Mu Zihan mention this?

"Precisely, according to the New Testament? The Gospel of Mark records the last time Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Passover and had dinner with his twelve apostles. In addition to Jesus in the center, the most striking thing in the painting is Judas who knocked down the salt shaker with his elbow in a panic, leaning back, and his face full of horror and anxiety. Mu Zihan sat up a little straighter and said, "Do you remember what the man surnamed Han said when we first entered the door?" To say that we can't be 'Judas' is to compare the owner of the manor house masquerading as a guest to 'Judas'. ”

"And, according to the signature on the invitation, 'Fallen Believers of God,' isn't that 'Judas.' Apparently the owner of this manor compares himself to Judas, and that is why he is asked to be found in the celebration. Mu Zihan continued: "In conjunction with this celebration, the original invited guests were a total of thirteen, which also coincided with the number of people in the Last Supper, but I don't know who 'Jesus' among these people will be, and it is very likely that it is the one who found 'Judas'." As for Xinyan's appearance, it was obviously just an accident. ”

"Of course, I don't know why the owner of this manor wants to use the Midyear Festival celebration as a gimmick, causing the whole thing to become non-Chinese and Western, nondescript. However, in the current situation, it may be just a personal preference to deliberately add an eerie atmosphere to the party. In the end, when I was almost dumbfounded, Mu Zihan said with a conclusion.

After listening to Mu Zihan's reasoning in a daze, what shocked me the most was not the inside story behind this celebration, but that I experienced everything almost inseparable from Mu Zihan, but if it wasn't for Mu Zihan's point, I wouldn't have thought of these things at all.

Originally, I thought that after following Mu Zihan to solve a few cases during this time, my reasoning ability should have improved a lot, and even sometimes I always started to make some conclusions with self-righteousness.

But this time, I really didn't think about "The Last Supper" at all. Moreover, judging from Mu Zihan's above words, the man surnamed Han who met at the door was obviously not simple, at least he deduced the same point of view as Mu Zihan, I really don't know what kind of freaks were invited to this so-called "Midyear Festival Celebration".

"Do you now know who the owner of the entire manor is?" If Mu Zihan now said that he already knew the identity of this mysterious manor owner, I wouldn't doubt it.

"How is that possible? What do you want? So far, apart from the three of us, I have only seen the guest surnamed Han for this celebration, and there are ten people who don't know who it is? How do you let me know which is the owner of the manor? Mu Zihan glanced at me and said, "I can only say that the person surnamed Han is definitely not the owner of the manor." ”

"Why?" I asked with an awkward smile.

"Do you remember when Xinyan forcibly stopped us at the gate of the "Fengdu Ghost Town"? At that time, it was obvious that the housekeeper named Liu Wei did not know her, and was even ready to reject him. However, after he answered a phone call, he not only learned about Wang Xinyan's identity, but also invited her to come with us. Mu Zihan analyzed: "Therefore, I speculate that the call must have come from the owner of the manor, and only he has the right to change the guest invitation list and order the housekeeper." ”

"Oh, then how did he know that Wang Xinyan was with us at that time?" I asked, puzzled.

"That's right, that's the point." Mu Zihan smiled smugly: "There are only two possibilities to let this manor owner who is hiding behind the scenes know that Wang Xinyan was with us at that time." The first is that Liu Wei is equipped with a small pinhole camera, which has been transmitting information about the people and things he has seen to the owner of the manor, and the second is that the owner of the manor was actually nearby at that time. ”

"Of course, after that, I asked Liu Wei what I was interested in, although I knew that he would not answer, but I mainly wanted him to face us and give me enough time to observe the places on his body that could hide small pinhole cameras, such as a pair of buttons and brooches on his suit, etc., and the result was that these places were not." Mu Zihan then analyzed: "And there are two reasons why I am sure that the owner of this manor is in the vicinity. Then Mu Zihan began to analyze it carefully, and I was completely fascinated by it, and was once again deeply impressed by my friend's reasoning ability.

It turned out that because the castle of the manor on the other side was located in the valley, the mobile phone signal was very poor, and it was difficult to even communicate normally, so if the owner of the manor was in the castle at that time, it would be impossible for him to call the housekeeper Liu Wei.

The second point is that the owner of this manor deliberately picked up the guests from the "Fengdu Ghost Town" from the gate in batches, and deliberately arranged them in rooms that were far away from each other although they were on the same third floor, just so that the guests would not know the order of each other's arrivals, so that the owner of the manor who saw that the guests had already gone to the castle at that time, even if he was the last to come to the castle, would not arouse suspicion.

And the reason why the man surnamed Han confirmed the arrival time of the guests at the door one by one is obviously very likely to have discovered this. But it is precisely because of this that he who arrived at the castle earlier could never be the owner of this manor.

"I see." I have to marvel at Mu Zihan's reasoning ability, as well as the shrewd calculation of this manor owner. And when I looked at Mu Zihan's expression, it was obvious that he also had the excitement of meeting his opponent in chess.
