Chapter 7: The Evil Faith Lurking in the Crowd (Part II)

"How about we work together for the time being?" Sun Yu saw Ouyang Xiu's confused expression, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a little arc, and proposed, "At the beginning, I just came here to relax, I didn't expect to participate in the event, but when I saw Detective Ouyang Xiu coming, I changed my mind, Detective Ouyang Xiu and your childhood sweetheart will search the east area of the ancient castle, let's search the west area, and then sort out the collected information, if Ouyang Xiu unlocks the secret of the ancient castle, then half of the bonus will be distributed to us."

"I declare in advance that I will not cooperate with you." Sun Li first had an opinion on Sun Yu's proposal, "I am confident in my IQ, I don't need to rely on any detectives, once I uncover the secret of the castle in advance, then the bonus set will all belong to me, so you discuss it slowly, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, Sun Li turned around and climbed the stairs leading to the second floor of the West District, looking at his back gradually leaving, Shen Luo and Cai Jin glanced at each other, said sorry to Sun Yu and turned around and walked into the stairs leading to the second floor of the East District.

"What, Xiaomei, you won't and won't accept my proposal, will you?" Sun Yu showed a flattering smile, but Hou Meiqian didn't eat this at all, and walked out of the castle without saying a word, just like that, there were only three people left in the hall.

"They're all gone." Ouyang Xiu patted Sun Yu, who had been petrified, and kindly reminded.

"I know." Sun Yu nodded, "Forget it, just because they don't have vision doesn't mean that I don't have vision, Detective Ouyang Xiu, change the proposal just now, I'll look for clues or something, you can rest here, and the bonus you get after that can be divided equally between the three of us, what do you think?" ”

"Forget it, you can act with us." Ouyang Xiu shook his head and rejected Sun Yu's proposal, at first he was interested in Sun Yu's proposal, after all, in this way, he could grasp the movements of all the contestants, but he didn't expect that no one agreed to Sun Yu's proposal, in that case, he would have to take a good look at Sun Yu, if the black shadow was not looking at him but Sun Yu, it meant that Sun Yu was very likely to encounter an accident.

"Since you invited me like this, then I might as well be respectful." Sun Yu first glanced at Ouyang Xiu, and then at Zhongli Wan'er, and found that the expressions of the two had not changed, so he agreed.

"Wan'er, let's go." Seeing that Sun Yu agreed, Ouyang Xiu didn't plan to waste time in the hall, so he shouted to Zhongli Wan'er who was not far away, preparing to go up to the third floor of the East District to have a look.

"Sorry, you two go ahead, I want to be alone in this event." Zhongli Wan'er glanced at Ouyang Xiu and said, "In addition, without my obstruction, wouldn't the great detective be more able to exert his strength?" ”

"Don't make a fuss! Listen to me. Hearing Zhongli Wan'er's answer, Ouyang Xiu suddenly became angry, now it was a critical moment, he didn't want to see Zhongli Wan'er encounter any accidents, so Zhongli Wan'er had to be in his sight, so he stepped forward and grabbed Zhongli Wan'er's hand, wanting to forcibly pull Zhongli Wan'er away.

"Who's messing around!" Zhongli Wan'er broke free of Ouyang Xiu's hand and shouted, "Why do I have to act with you, I'm not your assistant, don't impose your thoughts on me, okay!" ”

"That's not the case, I'm just ......" Ouyang Xiu wanted to protect her, but he didn't dare to say it, once he said it, Zhongli Wan'er would definitely ask why he wanted to protect her, and then he would have to tell the uneasiness and the black shadow, if the two of them got along alone, it was okay, but Sun Yu was still present, and Ouyang Xiu couldn't be sure if the black shadow was lurking around them and eavesdropping on their conversation, all kinds of factors made Ouyang Xiu only talk about it.

"Since you can't make a point, then I don't need to follow your arrangement, goodbye!" After speaking, Zhongli Wan'er waved her hand at Ouyang Xiu, and walked out of the ancient castle, leaving Ouyang Xiu with a worried face and Sun Yu, who had been standing in place to watch the play.

"Sure enough, that girl is not only your childhood sweetheart, but also your girlfriend, right?" Seeing that only himself and Ouyang Xiu were left in the hall, Sun Yu stepped forward and put his hand on Ouyang Xiu's shoulder, and said with a smile on his face, "You quarreled with her about something, and then you wanted to use this event to make her feel better, I guessed right?" ”

"That's not the case, she's just my childhood sweetheart, not my ......" Ouyang Xiu shook his head and just wanted to deny Sun Yu's inference, when he suddenly thought of something, so he followed Sun Yu's words and said, "Ah, you're right, I did have a trouble with her, and I'm still angry, is there anything you can do to make her feel better?" ”

"If I knew, I wouldn't be standing here." Sun Yu sighed and said his own things, "You also saw it, my purpose is the same as yours, I also had an awkward relationship with Xiaomei, so I wanted to take her to this event to make her happy, when I first saw her agree to participate in this event, I thought she was in a better mood, but I didn't expect that my mood was getting worse and worse after I came, and I was also worried, so I just wanted to discuss it with you, as the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, and you can top two Zhuge Liang alone, plus I am a stinker, I guess it's not that hard. ”

"So you're proposing to work with me for ......"

"That's what it means." Sun Yu admitted his true purpose, "Originally, I wanted to be by your side to see how you coaxed that girl, but I didn't expect you to be the same as me, so now I can only discuss it well, do you think it's causing you trouble?" ”

"Not really." Ouyang Xiu shook his head, no matter what reason Sun Yu had, his proposal had helped Ouyang Xiu a lot, as long as Sun Yu was protected, I believed that the black shadow would not do anything stupid.

"But I don't think you can think of a good way to do it right now, so let's explore the castle for a while, and then explore it." Sun Yu said as he pulled Ouyang Xiu into the stairs leading to the east area of the second floor, but the two did not stop on the second floor, but came to the third floor.

It's empty! Seeing the scene in front of him, Ouyang Xiu was slightly surprised, he originally thought that the third floor of the ancient castle would have the same number of rooms as the second floor, but it turned out that this was not the case, there were only two doors here, and the number was surprisingly small.

The two of them first pushed open the door of a room, and after entering, they opened their mouths wide, only to see that there were many statues in the room, and there were many famous paintings on the walls.

"That's not right." Sun Yu first sensed that something was wrong, "Didn't Mr. Du Ji say that this ancient castle was emptied by the previous owner before he came?" Why is there so much left here? ”

"It seems that the paintings and statues have been fixed." Ouyang Xiu stretched out his hand to hold a painting and explained Sun Yu's confusion, "If you forcibly remove them, it is very likely that these things will be damaged, and these things are very likely to be fakes, so the previous owner of the ancient castle did not empty this room." ”

"I don't know if it's a fake, but the amount of stuff here is amazing." Sun Yu expressed his feelings, "You see there is also a statue of Medusa there, I really don't know who carved this kind of thing, and turned its face out of the window, in order to turn the people peeping into the castle into stone?" ”

Sun Yu's words attracted Ouyang Xiu's attention, and looking in the direction Sun Yu pointed, Ouyang Xiu saw a stone statue of Medusa placed in the corner of the room, and he didn't know whose hand it came from, the snake hair carving was lifelike, but Medusa's face was facing the window next to it, looking down at the scenery outside the window, just like Sun Yu said, wanting to turn the people peeping at the ancient castle into stone.

What is that? Noticing the Medusa stone statue, Ouyang Xiu naturally noticed another statue not far from Medusa, a person holding a sickle and a shield, and the expression on his face seemed to be against someone.

"This should be Perseus, right?" Sun Yu said the name of the carved figure, "The character in Greek mythology is that he cut off Medusa's head." ”

"Ah, that's right." Ouyang Xiu nodded, took his eyes off the statue of Perseus, and looked around the room again, in addition to these two statues, there were statues of contemplatives and the like, and there were also paintings of Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" and Picasso's "Dream" on the wall, which made the corners of Ouyang Xiu's mouth twitch slightly, he was sure that many of the artworks in this room were fakes.

What's going on with that feeling? Ouyang Xiu frowned slightly, since he first entered this room, it brought him a sense of strangeness, as for the specific place Ouyang Xiu didn't know, the only thing Ouyang Xiu dared to guarantee was that the fakes in the room were to cover up something important.
