As soon as You Yu finished speaking, Pei Mosheng quickly reached out and grabbed a piece of paper and dragged it in his palm, as if he was afraid of someone else's manipulation.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Baizhou came to draw lots, and the last remaining one belonged to Chi Nan.
The three opened the folded piece of paper at the same time, and when Pei Mo saw the blank piece of paper in his hand, he let out a long sigh of relief.
He crooked his eyes and glanced at Chi Nan beside him, also a blank piece of paper.
"The red circle is here for me."
Lu Baizhou flattened his paper and displayed it in front of the crowd, pouted and admitted that he was unlucky.
Chi Nan gave You Yu a puzzled look, and based on what he knew about this sickly 'brother', he thought that You Yu had taken the initiative to apply to be the host of the lottery.
Either he tried to assign the red circle to him on purpose, or he wanted to stuff it to Pei Mo who was constantly muttering, but he never thought that the person who got the lot was Lu Baizhou.
You Yu felt Chi Nan's gaze, lowered his voice and said innocently, "I didn't cheat."
To Chi Nan's ears, the other party's expression seemed to be saying, "You have no evidence."
The car hit the road again, countless pedestrian shops hurried past through the glass, and more strange slogans poured into sight—
"Building a civilized smile town, please keep a polite smile with people at all times, and prohibit any behavior that destroys the smile"
The masks, scarves, and hands covering the mouth under the slogan are all painted with red crosses. These are all prohibited items and behaviors in Smile Town.
Chi Nan looked all the way, fortunately, the slogan only said not to destroy or block the smile, but did not mention avoiding eye contact with the residents of the town. The method of wearing sunglasses seems to be feasible for the time being.
"I'm really curious about what the hell these residents look like when they quarrel. How can they smile to condolences to the whole family? Can this be quarreling? What the hell."
Pei Mo escaped from the optical shop, relaxed and muttered to himself.
Lu Baizhou didn't complain. After experiencing the "redemption" of being drowned in the bathtub by the main character, she became more open-minded.
"You are here," Lu Baizhou's eyes happened to fall on Jiang Yu's side face, and he pointed to the corner of his left lips, "There is something."
Saying that, she took out the character's makeup mirror and handed it to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu looked at the red spot that suddenly appeared on the corner of his left lip in the mirror, like a burnt mark. It was the part where the old lady irradiated with something similar to a laser pointer when he was in the newsstand before. warn".
So will it be flagged after being "warned"? Jiang Yu raised his hand and touched it. There was no pain in the red spot, and it felt the same as anywhere else, but it looked like an extra red mole.
Just then, You Yu parked the car on the side of the road.
Lu Baizhou glanced at You Yu hesitantly, and threw the question to Chi Nan: "How many pairs of sunglasses to buy?"
Chi Nan: "Fourth mate is ready, thank you."
"What? Don't you think about buying me a pair?" You Yu smiled slightly and looked at Chi Nan, "Brother, don't think about saving me money."
After a pause, he added: "Anyway, it will be deducted from brother's custody fee."
Although everyone couldn't understand what the new driver was saying, they could always hear the obvious joking in his words, only Chi Nan said blankly, "Okay."
Lu Baizhou wanted to say something, but Jiang Yu gave her a push: "Go back quickly."
Lu Baizhou didn't talk nonsense, took a thick stack of banknotes from Chi Nan, opened the car door and jumped down.
When Lu Baizhou went to buy sunglasses, everyone in the car spread out the map and started the next plan.
Jiang Yu looked at the streets 1-7 displayed on the map, his face darkened, and the seven streets meant that there were seven 201, 205, and 209 respectively, and they only had less than 5 hours and 40 minutes left. The hotel room number corresponds to the inference of the house number, and it is possible to search for 21 places in the past five hours.
Even if the split action time is barely enough, the correctness of this search direction cannot be guaranteed.
Pei Mo looked at Jiang Yu frowningly: "Do you still want to follow the previous plan?"
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, and pointed to the No. 4 street where he is now: "In this copy, whether it is our license plate number or the number of the road, it has a lot to do with '4', and the pronunciation of '4' is the same as 'death'. ' is also very close, and I think 4th Street can be a key search target."
Then she pointed to the street number 201, and the map showed that it was a flower shop. "The 201 flower shop is less than three minutes away from our location. Let's take a look when the sunglasses come. It's an experiment, and it shouldn't cost much. time."
Jiang Yu looked at Chi Nan. Before Chi Nan could speak, You Yu put his hand on the steering wheel and said leisurely, "Just in time to buy something."
Following his words, everyone looked at Chi Nan with subtle expressions, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Afterwards, Pei Mo expressed his thoughts with Jiang Yu in a low voice: "That driver is really the 'brother' corpse that we dug up from the orphanage, right? Did the corpse also inherit the feelings in the character setting? I think this 'brother' is right Chi Nan's feelings are quite...indescribable."
As a serious middle-aged straight man, it is difficult for Pei Mo to summarize the delicate relationship between the two.
"Don't just speculate if you don't understand." Jiang Yu gave him a white look, not intending to continue talking nonsense.
But she thought of the possibility that the corpse had inherited the character's emotions, and inexplicably anticipation and nervousness surged in her heart. She stared at the passersby outside the window in a daze, and for a moment realized that her thoughts were out of place, so she hurriedly stopped.
Lu Baizhou moved quickly, and in less than ten minutes, she got into the car with five pairs of sunglasses, and there was a red dot on the corner of her lips like Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu frowned: "How did you do it?"
Lu Baizhou shrugged: "I have avoided the clerk's sight as much as possible. When choosing sunglasses, I relaxed my vigilance and made eye contact with the clerk from the cabinet glass."
Everyone: "..." They finally know why most buildings in Smile Town use glass surfaces, that is, the sight of people and people becomes inevitable.
Chi Nan took the sunglasses and handed them to You Yu: "The dream maker left the settings of the optical shop, and sunglasses should be the correct way to avoid it."
After all, the dream maker will not set an unsolved game, and the unsolved eliminates the viewing and fun of the nightmare itself.
You Yu saw that everyone had fastened their seat belts, and quickly turned the car and drove to the flower shop at No. 201, 4th Street. Everyone put on sunglasses and walked towards the shop.
The little brother of the flower shop quickly greeted him, but when he saw the five guests wearing sunglasses, his eyes were obviously stagnant.
Chi Nan's eyes stayed on his hand, and found that although the NPC touched his pocket, he didn't take out anything like a laser pointer.
"Hello, do you need any help?" the clerk greeted them with a standard grin.
It seems that they have successfully passed the border, and everyone is relieved for the time being.
"Hello," You Yu took off his sunglasses and showed the same standard smile as all the residents, "If you want to send flowers to your brother, do you have any recommendations?"
According to the plan, Chi Nan was responsible for stabilizing the clerk, and the remaining three were responsible for finding clues about the corpse in the flower shop. It took up to ten minutes to negotiate before, and they would withdraw if they couldn't find it.
Fortunately, this flower shop is not big, only less than 40 square meters, and the structure of the bay is unobstructed.
But the question also arises, will the Dream Maker hide Qu Yijun's body in this place? Obviously unlikely.
The clerk's younger brother looked at You Yu, who had a good smile, and then at Chi Nan, who was wearing sunglasses and pursed his lips.
But because there was no eye contact with each other, his "violation warning" did not sound.
"I take the liberty to ask, are you twin brothers?" The little brother's eyes were full of envy.
You Yu: "Yes, do they look alike?" He asked knowingly.
The little brother nodded: "When I was wearing sunglasses just now, it was exactly the same."
It was the younger brother on the left that was half a head taller than the elder brother, and the clerk NPC who was set to have a high emotional intelligence didn't say this.
"For boys, especially in a more intimate relationship, we generally recommend white roses, sunflowers, hydrangea, bellflowers, daisies, etc., but the other person's preferences are the most important."
You Yu turned to Chi Nan, with a smile in his eyes: "Brother, you can choose."
Chi Nan is not very good at delaying time, so he watched along the flower shelf for a moment, and confirmed with the corner of his eye that the three of them had searched the flower shop with little space. Jiang Yu, who had found nothing, was shaking his head at him with a sullen face, Chi Nan said calmly: "Any mint?"
The little brother was a little surprised: "Mint?"
Chi Nan nodded: "The kind kept in a small pot."
"Yes, please wait a moment." Said, the little brother turned to the flower stand on the side to get potted mint.
You Yu: "Why do you suddenly want to raise mint?"
Chi Nan glanced at him lightly through the sunglasses: "I raised the pot in Zicheng and threw it away."
After a pause, he added, "I want to try raising another pot."
This answer was not within You Yu's expectations. He even just remembered that he had indeed raised a pot of mint in the apartment where the two of them lived together more than half a year ago.
"That's it," You Yu used to look at the corner of Chi Nan's eyes, but unfortunately now there is a pair of unpleasant sunglasses to block the tear mole, "Then buy a few more pots."
Chi Nan: "No, I'm afraid I'll die if I feed it again. It's a pity."
You Yu smiled and lowered his eyes: "It's okay, I'll take care of you."
Five minutes later, a group of people walked out of the 201 flower shop, each holding two pots of mint neatly in their hands.
Everyone's faces were speechless and gloomy, holding mint as if they were going to a funeral.
"What should I do now? My inference is obviously wrong. Qu Yijun's body is not in the flower shop. Sorry for wasting everyone's time."
As soon as he got in the car, Jiang Yu took the initiative to apologize to everyone. After all, she proposed the method to find the body according to the house number, and she was reflecting on her own empiricism.
Pei Mo maintained the depression typical of middle-aged men: "Fuck, what's wrong with us with such a big smile? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Depression is as contagious as fear. Lu Baizhou couldn't get used to Pei Mo's unfortunate appearance, and said coldly, "Shut up the fuck."
"It is also necessary to eliminate the wrong options." Chi Nan said, looking at the map again, he found that the map marked the name of the corresponding store in detail, and the words were small but clear.
His eyes swept across a food street, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Your role is a restaurant chef, right?" Chi Nan turned to Pei Mo.
Because the topic changed too quickly, Pei Mo nodded in confusion: "Yes, I remember it was a quite high-end skewer shop."
Chi Nan: "Do you remember the name of the restaurant?"
Pei Mo thought for a while, then nodded sharply: "Sunset Restaurant, when the character finally killed the writer and went back to commit suicide, there happened to be a close-up of him looking up at the restaurant sign. I remember it was Sunset Restaurant, what's wrong?"
Chi Nan pointed to No. 404, Avenue 5 on the map, and said to You Yu, "Go here."
You Yu raised the corners of his lips: "Received."
"Sunset Restaurant?!" Pei Mo also followed Chi Nan's pointing to the map and exclaimed.
Because the fonts on the map were too dense and too small, and the fact that they had clearly followed Jiang Yu's inference before, no one noticed this.
Chi Nan nodded: "The body of the "Judge" may be related to the restaurant. "
He recalled the dreams described by all the characters after their death. Among them, the deaths of Lu Baizhou and Pei Mo were related to the environment. Lu Baizhou was a black hospital that performed plastic surgery. On the map, after the exclusion, only the role of Pei Mo who works in the restaurant is left.
When we arrived at the Sunset Restaurant, it was exactly one o'clock, and the sound of the pendulum clock in the center of the square rang throughout Smile Town.
All pedestrians stopped at the moment the bell struck, as if they were observing a ceremony of silence to mourn the hour of their wasted life.
Pei Mo pointed to the intersection in front of the restaurant and said excitedly: "I remembered that the writer's car was parked here at the time. The moment he started the car, the car exploded, making a loud noise, and the ground buildings in the entire block shook. At that time, many people thought that there was an attack, and they stuck their heads out of the house and looked around."
"My character was very perverted. At that time, I was hiding at the entrance of that alley and peeking at the whole explosion," said Pei Mo, pointing to the opposite alley. After the ambulance came, the writer's body was picked up from the burnt car piece by piece, and the skin was burnt black and burst... beyond recognition..."
The dream of death was made very realistic, and Pei Mo could still recall the burnt smell that filled the air after the body was burned, like grilled meat skewers.
"Looking back on it...I haven't wanted to eat barbecue for a fucking year."
Jiang Yu looked at the intersection where the cars came and went, frowning: "But now, it doesn't look like there has been an explosion nearby, and we can't waste time waiting here, where can the writer's body be hidden? …”
Chi Nan turned his gaze to the Sunset Restaurant. A gust of evening wind blew through, and the aroma of barbecued meat from the back kitchen of the restaurant rushed to his face.
Pei Mo's detailed description of the writer's tragic death inspired Chi Nan. He said, "Let's go to the back of the restaurant to find out."
"Chef?" Pei Mo was a little confused.
Chi Nan nodded: "Since the writer's corpse reminds you of barbecue, and your character is a chef, the corpse is likely to be hidden in the back kitchen."
Hearing this, everyone felt a sense of relief, and at the same time, they were also disgusted with a layer of goosebumps.
Dusk Restaurant is a typical kebab bar. The band next door has just ended, and business is at its busiest at 1:00 a.m.
The group entered the restaurant among the music fans at the end of the performance, even if they wore sunglasses at night, it would not look awkward.
The stove in the back kitchen made a crackling sound of charcoal, and the temperature was so high that the two chefs were so busy cursing and blazing that Chi Nan didn't notice it immediately when he walked in.
Chi Nan took two disposable gloves and opened the kitchen waste bin next to the meal preparation area. Among the piles of rotten vegetable leaves and bone residue, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared at him.
Chi Nan calmly blinked at the bloody eyeball, and lifted the lid of the trash can: "I found the head."
Everyone: "..." Suddenly I don't know whether to be happy or scared.
At this moment, the chef who was processing chicken nuggets on the chopping board with a kitchen knife came over, raised the knife at the crowd, and held up the sign next to the kitchen in one hand and smiled and scolded: "Idle people are not allowed to enter, you can give it to me immediately. Get out, or else…”
He didn't have time to say otherwise, when he suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground in a daze, the kitchen knife in his hand fell, making a harsh sound of bang bang bang.
Standing at the back, You Yu rubbed his wrists, like a younger brother who got good grades asking for praise from his older brother: "Brother, you don't like people who are too noisy, right?"
"Thank you." Chi Nan took out the head lying in the kitchen waste bin through the gloves and placed it on the chopping board next to him.
This head has been burnt to black and burst, and it is terrible.
Chi Nan sighed for him in his heart: "Go ahead and find the rest of the parts, they should all be in the kitchen."
The other chef kept smiling and screamed in fright. You Yu neatly knocked on the back of his neck and said regretfully, "It seems that the guests outside will have to wait for a long time."
Jiang Yu looked at the new driver, frowned, and suddenly turned to Chi Nan next to him: "Your 'brother' reminds me of someone."
Chi Nan: "Who?"
"The high school senior who liked you at that time, Ye Chang." Jiang Yu said.
Chi Nan:
