Chapter 17: The Tempest

Everyone returned to the hall and planned the next day's itinerary, Liu Shu proposed to go on an outdoor adventure, Tan Yan said that it was too dangerous in case he ran into an unknown animal, and there were girls here.

He Yuankang thought of an idea, it's better to group up in pairs, let's have some competitions, we should be fine for exploring during the day, just don't go to those remote places.

Everyone listened to He Yuankang's suggestion and agreed with it, so Liu Shu asked everyone to choose their own group, and they just eight people could be divided into four groups.

Shen Mingyu said that let everyone form a team first, and whoever it was his turn to follow last, but after the girls heard Shen Mingyu's deeds, they all wanted to be in a group with Shen Mingyu, Shen Mingyu laughed embarrassedly, and at this time he could feel the eyes of the boys next to him like blades.

He pretended to cough twice, thinking to himself: If the prisoner chooses one of the three, the girl can choose one of the three...... Because he was afraid that if he didn't choose Xiao Qian, he would be miserable if he was accused, so Shen Mingyu could only choose Xiao Qian.

After Shen Mingyu finished choosing, everyone also discussed, the two girls chose to form their own team, they wanted to prove that they would not lose to the boys, and the others were Liu Shu and Long Qi in a group, Tan Yan and He Yuankang in a group.

After everyone divided into groups, they were ready to rest, and Liu Shu said that everyone would go on a field trip together tomorrow morning and choose a route.

The next day, the sky was gray as if it had been crying, but it was also a cloudy day for outdoor activities.

After everyone had breakfast, they began to prepare for the expedition route, and Liu Shu took out a box of things from the storage room.

"Brother Shu, what is this?" Tan Yan asked.

"I've wanted to do an adventure for a long time, I used to say that I went to live CS, and I didn't have time to go, but now I have the opportunity to do activities, and I prepared a box of walkie-talkies." Liu Shu replied.

Liu Shu distributed the walkie-talkie to everyone's hands and told them how to use it, because the mobile phone signal is unstable in this remote place, if there is something to use the walkie-talkie is the most convenient, safety must be the first priority.

After explaining the precautions, everyone began to set off. Liu Shu and He Yuankang have already gone to investigate, there is a mountain in front of the villa, and it is necessary to pass through a wasteland and a small forest in the middle, and finally cross a small stream, and walk a few hundred meters to reach, they set the mountain as the end, and whoever reaches it first will win.

Liu Shu told everyone the rules of the game, two people in a group to help each other, can not abandon teammates, must be two people at the same time to reach the top of the mountain to complete the task, the choice of the path is determined by yourself, you can't attack the members of other groups, you can't choose the same road with other groups, and you can't choose the road you just went to investigate.

After the rules were said, everyone began to set off, and the two girls set off first, and they planned to walk in a straight line, which was the shortest distance between two points.

Liu Shu and Ryuzaki plan to go to the right, although the road is more difficult to walk, but there is a trail in the middle, which can greatly save time.

He Yuankang and Tan Yan are to the left, and the route here is relatively flat, but they have to pass through a relatively long stream, so they have to cross the river slowly.

Shen Mingyu didn't set off in place, but was thinking about something.

"Brother Shen, why don't we leave, if we don't set off again, we will be the last one." Xiao Qian didn't know what Shen Mingyu meant, and asked suspiciously.

"Xiaoqian, don't worry, I'm observing the terrain, I'm thinking about how to go fast, I'll give you an analysis, the mountain in the distance is the end, we are also a high slope here, ordinary people's ideas are bound to go down, because people want to go to a destination, if you don't look at the navigation, you will subconsciously go forward, I think the terrain here is complicated, and the slope is not very different from the mountain, I wonder if there will be other routes?" Shen Mingyu analyzed.

Xiao Qian suddenly realized what Shen Mingyu meant, and she no longer urged, but patiently waited for Shen Mingyu's choice.

"Let's try to go back." Shen Mingyu said. Xiao Qian didn't understand very much, but she felt that Shen Mingyu must have her own ideas, so she followed silently.

Sure enough, they saw another road not far back, and they followed this path and found that there was no need to go downhill or cross the stream at all, but the terrain was a bit rough and not very well lit.

Xiao Qian was afraid of insects and snakes, so she grabbed Shen Mingyu tightly. Shen Mingyu had to pull her forward slowly, I don't know how long later, they walked out, and unexpectedly found that they were only one step away from the end, and the two accelerated their pace and walked to the end.

Shen Mingyu posted a photo of the mountain to the group, saying that he was the first person to arrive here. Xiao Qian was full of excitement, and she only had unspeakable admiration for Shen Mingyu, and from then on, there was another fan sister by Shen Mingyu's side.

After a while, Liu Shu and Long Qi also arrived, they were sweating profusely, and they could see that they were working very hard to cross.

Followed by two girls, the two girls were also sweating profusely, their hair was wet, and their so-called straight-line distance actually hit an obstacle, so they had to take a detour.

Finally, there were He Yuankang and Tan Yan, both of whom were almost soaked, and their hair was also wet.

"You're not sweating, you're saying what's going on." Shen Mingyu teased.

"What else, we slipped while crossing the Nile, so we were soaking wet." He Yuankang explained.

"Come on, a BYD is still the Nile, you can fall on a small broken ditch, forget it, you have to pull me, I will fall too, if I can't abandon my teammates, I won't bother to pay attention to you, let you swim there." Tan Yan complained.

"Okay, okay, I have to say that Yu is worthy of being an analysis expert, we can't play him, since he won, then I have agreed to announce the reward for winning, that is, to perform talent once." Liu Shu said.

Everyone was coaxing, because no one had seen Shen Mingyu perform his talents, and Shen Mingyu himself was confused, where did he know what kind of talent, he couldn't sing, his limbs were not coordinated, and he couldn't speak out, as if there was really nothing to perform.

"Brothers, it's not like you don't know, what talent I have to show, I don't know anything." Everyone obviously didn't want to let him go, and they all let him sing a song.

Shen Mingyu was helpless, and he could only be forced to die because of his incomplete tone. He chose a song by Cheng Zhongji's "Scoundrel", which is his favorite Cantonese song to listen to, and began a performance that was full of emotions without skills.

"Why do you still like me and me as a scoundrel, are you stupid or great, everyone here will guess me, how bad the reputation is, but you still don't blame." Singing and singing, Shen Mingyu seemed to be caught in some whirlpool, and he was a little sad when he sang and sang.

After singing a song, everyone's evaluation was that the level was indescribable, but the feelings were very rich, so Shen Mingyu was rewarded with a song.

Shen Mingyu was helpless, he chose Lin Junjie's "Exchange for the Rest of My Life", which he liked to listen to recently.

"The anchor that locates the heart makes time pause like slow motion, you say fate is bad, but fortunately there is me...... The rest of my life is my and non-self pain and happiness, and there is always a clear sky to continue my life after a cloudy day. "It's rare for everyone to see Shen Mingyu singing so devotedly, maybe he tasted loneliness in the field for most of the year, Shen Mingyu seems to have sung his own thoughts and stories.

In the evening, when rain suddenly fell in the clear night sky, and everyone was ready to rest, one of them showed a subtle and sly smile.

In the middle of the night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sound of rain could hardly be heard indoors, accompanied by gusts of wind whistling by.

Early in the morning, the rain showed no signs of abating, the gusts of wind blew on the windows, which was irritable, the rare vacation was messed up by a rainstorm, everyone could only stay in the villa today, everyone went downstairs to prepare breakfast, and then found that Ryuzaki was not in the hall, Shen Mingyu asked where Ryuzaki went, and everyone said they didn't know.

Liu Shu and Tan Yan in one room were no longer in the room when they talked about getting up, and they thought that Ryuzaki had already come down to the first floor first.

Shen Mingyu asked everyone to look for Longqi together, and everyone divided into several ways to look for traces of Longqi in the villa.

After 20 minutes, everyone had searched the entire villa, but they didn't find Ryuzaki.

"Didn't anyone answer his phone?" Shen Mingyu asked.

"There is no signal, the signal is not good on the villa, coupled with the rainstorm, the signal is directly interrupted, and it can't be connected at all." Liu Shu replied.

Shen Mingyu said: "He won't go outside, Shu, Tan Yan, let's go look nearby, Kang Shao, you protect the girls in the villa." Several people nodded their heads.

Shen Mingyu and the three of them put on disposable raincoats and braved the heavy rain to look for Ryuzaki's figure nearby. Hearing only a scream, Tan Yan ran towards Shen Mingyu in a panic,

"Mingyu, Ryuzaki seems to have fallen there...... Shen Mingyu ran in the direction Tan Yan said, and saw Ryuzaki fall on the edge of a bush not far from the villa.

The rain was too heavy, so Shen Mingyu had to call the two of them to carry Ryuzaki back first. Back at the villa, several people were already soaked, in order not to scare everyone, they put Ryuzaki's body in the corner of the storage room, although he did not learn the relevant knowledge of forensics, but he also heard a lot at the scene of the crime, he can still master a simple autopsy, he took out disposable gloves, and began to prepare for a simple autopsy.

Ryuzaki didn't have any scars on his body, only strangulation marks on his neck, which should have been strangulation.

Because it was outdoors and was washed by heavy rain, Ryuzaki's body was cold and cold, and the time of death could not be found for the time being.

Shen Mingyu walked to the hall with a solemn face, he saw that everyone was also terrified, and he said to everyone: "Everyone...... Ryuzaki was strangled to death. Several girls were so frightened that they began to tremble, they just heard about these cases from Shen Mingyu's mouth, but suddenly there were cases around them, and it was still difficult for them to bear it in their hearts.

Everyone was silent, and they all looked at Shen Mingyu, because he was the only one present who could help everyone, and Shen Mingyu also felt that he should do something, he said to everyone: "Later, Liu Shu and I will go outside to find rescue, Tan Yan and He Yuankang are responsible for taking care of the girls indoors, you must not act alone, you know." Everyone nodded.

Shen Mingyu and Liu Shu put on raincoats again, the rain was heavier, and it was accompanied by lightning and thunder from time to time, they came to the entrance where they had stopped and walked into the villa, and found that the tires of the two cars were punctured, and the entrance was also blocked because of the landslide caused by the heavy rain, and now it is impossible to get out of such a heavy rain.

Liu Shu said: "I remember that there is a small road in this villa, and there is a suspension bridge over there, maybe you can go out to the outside world." The two of them ran to the other end of the suspension bridge, and sure enough, the suspension bridge had also been destroyed, and the rope near the villa had been cut, and it was undoubtedly difficult to walk through the suspension bridge now.

Shen Mingyu secretly felt bad, and hurriedly pulled Liu Shu back to the villa together. In the villa, everyone sat on the sofa tremblingly, and when they saw Shen Mingyu coming back, everyone couldn't wait to ask about the current situation.

Shen Mingyu sighed and said: "All the roads have been cut off, the road we came from has been sealed because of the landslide, and the two cars that came don't know who punctured the tires, there is a small suspension bridge behind the villa, but the suspension bridge is also destroyed now, plus such a heavy rain, it is impossible to get by, which means that we are isolated." I'm reluctant to say that, but the people who killed Ryuzaki were indeed among us. Ryuzaki was strangled to death, although the time of death can't be calculated, but he was with us last night until he went to bed, and he found out that he was missing this morning, so I speculate that the time of death was between 23:30 and 8:30 in the morning after sleeping last night, because everyone drank alcohol last night, plus it rained again, so he may have slept more soundly, and the murderer will not be noticed if he makes a noise while the rain is sounding, so to speak, we have now entered the Blizzard Mountain Resort mode. (Blizzard Lodge mode, a.k.a.)

"Island mode" refers to a group of people gathered in a relatively closed environment, such as a mountain villa isolated by a snowstorm, or a secret room, an isolated island, etc., due to special circumstances can not get in touch with the outside world, everyone can not leave the environment temporarily, and at the same time, something strange happened among the people, several members have died mysteriously, the murderer is among these people, and the detective conducts limited search and reasoning in this situation.

For the murderer, the inability to intervene from the outside is an advantage, and there is no need to worry about his target running away in a closed state, the successive murder of members will generate more and more fear among the crowd, and he can pretend to be one of the victims who are afraid of death, but at the same time, the murderer himself cannot escape, once the isolation is lifted, the murderer will naturally be limited to the living.

Shen Mingyu explained the meaning of the Blizzard Villa mode by the way.
