In the dark and damp basement, surrounded by mottled gray walls, an oil lamp was placed on a long board, scattering a faint yellow light, elongating the black shadows of the fourteen coconuts on the board, like an oval human head.

A breeze came in out of nowhere, the lights flickered, and the shadows swayed with it.

Sima Bei, who was tied to a chair in the center of the room, slowly opened his eyes, sniffled, sneezed heavily, looked at the tightly wrapped ropes around his body, and glanced at the surrounding situation, and finally stopped on the face of the starfish holding the wooden stick, and let out a long breath of turbid air, "It's so tightly tied, it's not ......"

Haixing looked at Sima Bei with cold eyes, and said coldly, "No matter how cautious you are to deal with a smart person like you. ”

Sima Bei licked his lips and said, "Thank you for the compliment, there are not many people who usually praise me for being smart, you should be the fourth...... As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant, but I am not a scholar, and I don't want to die for your praise, so can we discuss, don't hit me on the head with that stick, and I'm not a thief cat who came to your house to steal fish. ”

"Sister actually told you all this...... "Starfish's face suddenly became more gloomy, and he clenched his wooden stick and said, "Now I have one more reason to kill you, you should thank yourself!" ”

Sima Bei shook his head and sighed, "Children always like to talk big and pretend to be mature...... You can't kill me, and you don't want to kill me, otherwise you wouldn't have stabbed me with that black iron needle, so let's not come to these nonsense, what do you mean by tying me here? ”

Haixing seemed to be thought of by Sima Bei's words, and said angrily, "Who said I couldn't kill you? Don't forget how Zhao Wenbiao died! ”

"You didn't kill him," Sima Bei said with the corners of his mouth rising slightly, "At that time, you were standing next to me, and you didn't have a chance to make a move, and it was impossible to shoot an iron needle into the back of his neck in that direction, so I didn't refuse to partner with you, nor did I stop you when you took out that small tube, but let you drag me here...... This is called the plan! ”

Haixing said with an ugly face, "Aren't you afraid that my needle will poison you?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Sima Bei snorted at the black iron needle pierced into his chest, and said with a smile, "Even if you use a red iron needle, you can't poison me...... Don't you think there's too much blood in my chest? ”

Hearing this, Haixing quickly walked in front of Sima Bei, stretched out his right hand and pulled out the black iron needle, ripped off Sima Bei's clothes, stared at the tattered blood bag, and said with a gloomy face, "When did you put this thing on your body?" ”

Sima Bei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just before rushing to the scene of Yang Bucheng's murder, I went to pee, caught a wild rabbit by the way, and made a roast rabbit for your sister, which tastes similar to the rabbit you roasted in the bad guy village that day, and your sister likes it very much...... I thought that this bag of rabbit blood would be burned at night, but it was all wasted, and you have to compensate me when you turn around! ”

Haixing's face turned pale, "You have already begun to doubt me?" ”

Sima Bei smiled and said, "Actually, it's not too early, although you are young, your acting skills are really sophisticated, but I didn't remind someone today that I want to pay special attention to you, so I just added a little more precautions......"

Starfish couldn't help frowning and said, "Who?" ”

"Me!"

A neutral voice suddenly exploded in the basement doorway.

Long You walked in with his arms in his arms, threw away a handful of white rabbit fur casually, and squinted at Sima Beidao, "Don't use this thing as a mark next time, when the wind blows, it will be scattered everywhere, causing me to be around blindly looking for a long time!" ”

Starfish stared at Long You with wide eyes, and said coldly, "It's actually you...... Sima Bei! ”

"Wrong, wrong," Sima Bei coughed lightly, sniffed and said, "Tell you a secret, I am Sima Bei!" ”

Haixing snorted coldly, raised his chin and said, "Of course I know that he is not Sima Bei, I deliberately said something wrong just now, just to see your reaction...... His name is actually Ni Daye, right! ”

Long You couldn't help but smile, picked his chin and said, "I'm not called Ni Daye, but I can be your uncle." ”

Sima Bei glared at Long You, and said seriously, "Don't bully children...... No matter what he says, it may also be my future brother-in-law, if you are his uncle, then I must also call you uncle, and the seniority will be messed up. ”

"Let's talk about each other, I call you Brother Bei, you call me uncle, there's nothing wrong with it!" Long You coughed lightly, tilted his neck and said, "Moreover, whether you can get together with Yan Meizi still has to talk about it, I think it's quite suspenseful about these things in their family!" ”

"What about their family's situation, it's just such a situation, it's not too complicated...... Sima Bei said indifferently, "This child just has some psychological problems, I'll take him to a psychiatrist friend to take a look, and the whole course of treatment can be cured." His father may have a bit of a serious problem, but fortunately, the village chief is not their biological father, so it doesn't have much impact. ”

Starfish's eyes burst out, and he swallowed his saliva, "What nonsense are you talking about......

"Your family is pieced together," Sima Bei said unhurriedly, "You and Haiyan are not the biological children of the village chief, and Haiyan is not your own sister...... This can be seen from the fact that you don't look like each other at all, plus I combined the story told by Haiyan, and briefly reasoned, and probably guessed a little truth, your biological Abba died when you were three years old...... Die for the night you knocked the big orange cat to death with a stick! ”

Starfish looked suddenly crazy, grabbed his hair hard, and said sharply, "Shut up!" ”

Sima Bei sighed and said faintly, "Xiao Wu, the security captain, told me that the village chief is a Zen concession system, that is, the previous village chief vacated the seat to the current village chief, and your biological father is the previous village chief. In fact, it was not your Abba who gave up his seat, but that he was killed by the village chief after he kindly rescued the current village chief...... To sum it up simply, it is the story of the dove occupying the magpie's nest. ”

Long You looked at the starfish with a shocked face, and suddenly interjected, "So this kid is considered a thief as a father?" ”

"Not exactly, it's a mental illness called Stockholm syndrome," Sima Bei explained softly, "This symptom mainly refers to the fact that after the victim is treated badly or is afraid of being in the environment, he will have a positive emotion towards the perpetrator, such as sympathy, recognition, and wanting to help the perpetrator...... The term was coined in the seventies of the last century, when your thief's old-timers robbed money in a bank and hijacked several bank staff for a while, only to end up refusing to testify against the criminal and pleading with the judge on his behalf......"

Long You sighed twice, "It seems that I still have a lot to learn!" ”

Sima Bei snorted twice, "Yes, learn more, I think it's punishable, and if you learn these crooked ways, your life will become more and more judgmental!" ”

"Enough! It's not over yet...... Haixing looked at Sima Bei and Long You, you and I gossip, trembling slightly with anger, holding a wooden stick, and said inwardly, "You foreign thieves and cats, it's so annoying, you should all be beaten to death with a stick and hung on a tree!" ”

As soon as the last word fell, Haixing grabbed the wooden stick with both hands and smashed it into Sima Bei's head!

However, just when the wooden stick was only thirty centimeters away from Sima Bei's head, it suddenly stopped.

A round coconut slammed down on the starfish's head first.

Long You's voice sounded behind the starfish, "Why do you kid always like to smash people's heads, what stinky habits...... Now you will be punished! ”

The starfish twisted his neck with difficulty, glanced at Long You, opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but saw Long You pick up a coconut on the board again and smash it on his head, and then his eyes were over, and he fainted.

Long You looked at the starfish that fell to the ground, pursed his lips, came to Sima Bei's side in three or two steps, untied the rope, and chuckled, "Fortunately, I was also in the forest before, otherwise you would have to add at least two big bags to your head today!" ”

Sima Bei moved his shoulders and neck, which were a little sore, and said lightly, "If you weren't over there, I wouldn't let this kid do anything wrong, he dragged him for such a long time, the back of his head was almost smoothed, and next time I still can't play like this, it's too brain-consuming." ”

Long You suddenly thought of something, blinked his eyes and said, "By the way, I saw two acquaintances over there just now, you should pay more attention, there are several people from the Bad Guy Village who have died now, and I think they are also quite dangerous......"

"Who?"

"Li Jing, the hostess of the Bad Guy Village Prison, and the bearded man who is lying flat......"

"They may have come to find Little Orange, and nothing will happen to that bearded man, after all, he was a member of this Good Man Village before, but Li Jing may be a little dangerous, because her father was in charge of the relationship between the prisoners of Good Man Village before, she knows a lot of secrets, and she has been collecting all kinds of information over the years, and this kind of person who knows a lot in TV dramas is usually very fast to receive boxed lunches."

"Then you must gather them together and unite all the forces at your disposal so that we can escape from this island."

"I'm not in a hurry to leave now, there are so many murders here, and the murderer must be arrested......"

"Why not be in a hurry? I'm in a hurry! After we go out, we can find the police to come over, people in uniform are professional, you are a detective, you don't even have a formation, don't fool around here! ”

"That's not good, every profession has its own professional ethics, and those who do our detective work, if you hide far away from the case, your conscience will be disturbed...... And, even if we want to leave, we lack the tools right now. Speaking of which, you'll have to help me do two more things. ”

"No time, no mood...... Zhao Wenbiao was killed right in front of my eyes, and the clue to find my father was broken, I just want to get out of this place as soon as possible......"

"The first thing I want your help to do is so that we can leave this island as soon as possible, someone is planning to stage a blizzard here, and if you want to stop it, you need more external help."

"What's the matter?"

"What you are best at...... Sima Bei took out the drawing on the wall of the prison room in the Bad Guy Village from his pocket, handed it to Long You's hand, and said, "This first one, you go to this place first and get something out...... It's heavily guarded and has a lot of traps, so only you can get in. ”

Long You opened the drawing and took a closer look, and pouted, "This is not too difficult...... What's inside? ”

"A lot...... But I only need two things," Sima Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, "a black iron box, a file." The iron box contains the key items we need to leave the island, and that file will help me find the real culprit as quickly as possible, and maybe find out where the person who killed your dad is, and if the person I'm looking for here is the person I guessed. ”

Long You put away the drawings and made an OK gesture, "Meaning, wait and see, you can see those two things tomorrow...... What about the second thing? ”

"The second thing is to wait for you to get those two things back, let's talk about it when we meet at the stone house in the valley......" Sima Bei coughed lightly, and deliberately sold a pass, mainly worried about saying something about helping the little orange unlock at this moment, with the character of Long You, he most likely refused to agree, pursed his lips, and instructed, "You pay more attention to safety, if you can't do anything, then quit first, now the only person I can trust is you, we are in the same boat, everything is important for your personal safety." ”

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, if I can't even handle this little scene, how can I be worthy of the title of thief......" Long You smiled, waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the basement, "Oh! I also have something I want you to help me with, remember to help me find that 9527, I heard that he was the apprentice of that bastard back then, and he should know some information...... I've been searching around the village for a long time and haven't found any trace of him, so I'm up to you! ”

Sima Bei looked at Long You's back, chuckled, looked down at the starfish lying on the ground, and said meaningfully, "No problem, I'm very appealing now, and it's easy to find someone in the Good People Village ......"
