Li Yin pasted a piece of paper on the wall with a magnet.
Ziye was beside him, looking at the relationship between the characters written on the paper and found so far, including the unidentified Tang Feng and the new character Yin Junxian.
"It seems very complicated." Ziye looked at everyone's name and said, "But Tang Feng's testimony is that Teng Rongmu is doubtful."
Just now, Yin Ye and Li Yin had the latest phone call and informed them of this latest clue. At the same time, Huangfuhe also told about Li Xin's Korean boyfriend, and also learned about Kang Jin's broken relationship with Teng Feiyu.
"Kang Jin is currently one of the three suspects in the hands of the police," Li Yin pointed at the word "Kang Jin" on the paper, and said, "At present, it seems that he is very suspicious. I have always been more concerned about Teng Fei who was killed in the first place." Yu, because of the earliest murder case, there may be a supernatural phenomenon that we didn't notice. But now, Tang Feng, Teng Rongmu, Kang Jin, and three suspicious people related to Teng Feiyu have appeared."
"Kang Jin, can it really be a decapitated demon?" Ziye didn't seem to believe this conclusion, and said, "He has been arrested by the police now. If he was a ghost, would he be caught by humans so easily? Of course it is also possible." It’s a technique to confuse the apartment, but if you continue to investigate, clues to the head may appear. In fact, for us, not getting the head is the biggest failure, and everything else is secondary. The identity of the decapitated demon, from It didn't matter at the beginning, what matters is the whereabouts of those six heads."
Li Yin also nodded. In fact, from the very beginning, he noticed the problem with this bloody character.
The scarlet letter is not to find out who the decapitated demon is, but to find six heads. However, most people believe that the head is probably in the hands of the decapitator. In fact, the police also conducted a blanket search of the area around the victim, but they never found the head. And since the apartment requires "finding", it must be "findable". It is the safest idea to think that it is in the hands of the decapitated demon.
However, this is also likely to be a pitfall of the apartment arrangement. In fact, who stipulated that the head must be in the hands of the decapitator? No, it's a big question whether there is even a "headless man". So where is the head, in fact, it is impossible to think according to conventional logic. Li Yin believes that no matter how impossible the possibility is, it must be considered, because the bloody words given by this apartment cannot be deduced with common sense and normal logic at all.
"For example, the human head may be hidden in a place that is actually within reach, but the apartment has concealed it in a clever way." Ziye suddenly said surprisingly: "The more commonplace something is, the easier it is to be ignored. For example, Make the human head into a plaster statue, and use a certain method to erase the rancid smell. Or, wrap the human head and appear in front of people as a round object, but no one will doubt it."
Li Yin also considered this possibility. It is the apartment that gives the residents the illusion that they need to find a needle in a haystack to find the head, so the residents tend to think about the whole thing very complicated. And if you think complicatedly, you will not pay attention to the simple things in front of you. The so-called "decapitated demon" is likely to be a completely fictional existence of the apartment to make the residents imagine the existence of nothingness.
In the apartment, it is entirely possible to kill a person through a certain curse and hide the head somewhere. It may be around the family members of the deceased, or it may be a place where the deceased often goes. More likely, it is hidden in a completely unrelated place with some very vague clues. In any case, as long as no head is found, it is estimated that ghosts will not appear to kill the residents at all, because if there is no head, even if they escape back to the apartment, they will die!
This time, the horror of the scarlet characters is different from the past. It is not a ghost, but the fact that "the head cannot be found" itself!
"Since that's the case, what do you think, Li Yin?" Ziye pointed to the people listed on this piece of paper, and said, "Which person or event do you think might be the clue to where the head is hidden?"
"Actually, there is one more thing I care about. Midnight."
"Well, what is it?"
"Why are you looking for a 'head'?"
This is what Li Yin has always been most confused about.
Maybe ordinary residents don't think about it that much, because they have experienced so many horrible things. It is not so strange that the "human head" is obviously a ghost image that often appears in horror stories. But Li Yin didn't understand.
The fact that a human head can be brought into the apartment is proof that the human head itself is not a ghost. That being the case, why should the thing that needs to be found be killed
If you are looking for a bead, or a stone, isn't it the same? It doesn't have to be a human head. Just to highlight the horror atmosphere? That makes no sense. Any of the ghosts designated by the apartment in blood is extremely terrifying, and there is no need to add the title of "decapitated demon". It doesn't make sense at all.
There must be a mystery in the human head itself. So... a question arises.
Those six heads, really... aren't they ghosts? In fact, the apartment does say that it is ok to bring a human head in. But... that was after "entering the apartment". What if, before the head was brought into the apartment, it was itself possessed by some evil spirit? And, after entering the apartment, does the evil spirit leave? So, what does it mean to find the head without entering the apartment
This is the scariest possibility hidden behind this bloody word. Because even if you know this, you still have to bring the head into the apartment. Because the condition of the apartment is "the head of the resident holder enters the apartment". Basically, it is impossible to let other residents do it for them. What's more, it is impossible for the residents to do the work for them.
"Do you think the head might be possessed by some kind of ghost?"
"Yes." Li Yin said again: "Actually, I have another consideration. That is, among the six human heads, some may be possessed by ghosts, while the other part is purely human heads. That is to say, the The only way to survive is to bring the head of a person without evil spirits back to the apartment. I think the possibility of this is very high."
Ziye also nodded, and said, "However, there are only six heads in total. If your hypothesis is true..."
"Yes. That is to say, in the best case, it is impossible for all the staff to return to the apartment, and someone must be sacrificed. For a resident, only one head is enough. In other words, in the most extreme case …”
"It's possible that the apartment only has a head that is not possessed by a ghost!"
This is the most dire situation. It is also a hypothesis that Li Yin does not want to believe. However, with the cruel style of the apartment, who can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen? Find the only head that is not possessed by a ghost before you can bring it back to the apartment. In other words, the apartment has designed a dead situation where six people must kill each other! There is no room for maneuver!
This, just thinking about it, makes people tremble with fear.
"I hope that's not the case." Li Yin held the phone, stared at the screen, and said, "Liancheng and Yizhen are the only two people who are still alive among the residents I knew when I first entered the apartment... And Yin Ye and Yin Yu, I don't want them to die either... "
Although he was destined to confront her because of the contract fragments, Li Yin actually admired Yin Ye very much, because they were all people who could do nothing for the one they loved. Li Yin, I really don't want only one of the six people to be able to return to the apartment alive.
"It is impossible for someone to sacrifice himself and give his head to others. Even if it is Yin Ye, he may not really sacrifice himself and give his head to Yin Yu."
If such a choice was placed in front of him, and he and Ziye were to carry out such bloody words together, then what should he do
Give the head to Ziye, can he do it himself
This is a question that makes Li Yin almost collapse just thinking about it. So, this is a hypothesis that he doesn't want to believe anyway.
Fortunately, this is only a hypothesis for now. None of the clues found so far can confirm this hypothesis. Therefore, the human head may also be a pure human head.
In fact, the same assumption... Yin Ye also thought of it. It's just that this hypothesis is too terrifying, and Yin Ye doesn't want to accept it anyway, and doesn't want to think about it.
Faced with the choice of life and death, the most selfish nature of human beings will be fully exposed. Morality, human nature, and ethics will all become insignificant and the most hypocritical things. As long as the idea of wanting to live is the most real side. This is the essence that human beings are least willing to face, but it really exists.
"You mean, you were taken to Liu Bin's home?"
"Well, I'm sure." Murong Mi said on the other end of Yin Ye's mobile phone: "So you go quickly. In addition, Kang Jin also revealed a very important testimony. According to the police, it was his insanity. Words, but he did speak to us."
"What?" Yin Ye was sitting in a taxi with Yin Yu at the moment, when he heard Murong Mirage's words, he had a premonition of something.
"He said he saw Teng Feiyu. He said that Teng Feiyu is still alive in this world."
Yin Ye's hands trembled suddenly!
This is it!
"Where did he see it!"
Yin Ye's loud roar startled the taxi driver in front. And Yin Yu who was sitting next to Yin Ye was so clever, he immediately realized something.
Finally, a clue to the head appeared!
Originally, he planned to go directly to Fuji Rongmu first, but Yinye immediately changed his mind!
"Where did he see it? Tell me!"
"It's the same as your destination. It's in the men's room of a cafe near Liu Bin's house. He said he saw..."
After listening, Yin Ye hung up the phone immediately, and said to the driver in front of him: "Master, hurry over there as quickly as possible! Money is not a problem!"
Anyway, the transportation card provided by the apartment has unlimited recharge, so there is no need to worry about transportation funds. Yin Ye doesn't use her own car because it saves fuel. There will be more bloody words to be executed in the future, and the price of oil has also risen higher and higher these years.
When they came to the door of the cafe, Yin Ye and Yin Yu got out of the car.
"right here?"
According to Kang Jin's testimony, he saw a living Teng Feiyu inside.
"Teng Feiyu, did he become a ghost?"
The two of them are not afraid. If you can't get the head, you will die. Anyway, it is the same death, so it is better to fight hard. However, there are still other clues to find the other five heads after all, so there is no need to die.
"For the time being, don't act rashly." Yin Ye said: "And it may not be here yet. Let's observe for a while. In addition..."
He looked towards a neighborhood opposite the cafe, a certain apartment building.
"Teng Rongmu... and Liu Xin live there."
Why did Tang Feng say that Teng Rongmu needs to investigate? Could it be that Teng Rongmu is a decapitated demon
Indeed, a child in human form may in fact be a terrifying demon. Moreover, the image of the child will also cause great confusion to the residents.
In fact, before this, Yin Ye and Yin Yu had sneaked into Liu Xin's house once. Holding a lead wire, Yin Ye easily opened the lock. After entering, he searched for a long time, but did not find the head. Afterwards, I went to Kang Jin's house again, and used the same method to sneak in, but no head was found.
As for using the lead wire to pick the lock, it was specially learned by Yin Ye considering that it might be used in future blood characters. However, a lock that is too complicated is difficult to deal with.
Both Liu Xin's family and Kang Jin's family were headless.
At this time, it was already dark. One day is going to pass so soon. In this night, whether to go to see them or not
Even if you see it, can you get the head? Could it be that he told Liu Xin what Tang Feng said and investigated Teng Rongmu
This is obviously unrealistic.
At present, it is neither advancing nor retreating. There was no way to get into either the cafe or the apartment. The clues are right in front of your eyes, but you can't get them at all.
However, at this moment, suddenly... Yin Ye saw Liu Xin and a boy suddenly appear across the road!
That boy was the boy who appeared in the photo on the table at Liu Xin's house!
It's Fuji Rongmo!
The two are actually crossing the road at this moment, walking straight!
"Brother, how do you do it?"
"This..." Yin Ye's brain was also spinning rapidly, the opportunity is fleeting!
So, both of them made a decision, and when they came, Yin Ye quickly walked over!
"Willow..."
However, as soon as the word "Liu" was uttered, Yin Ye couldn't continue. Because... the child named Teng Rongmu suddenly yelled when he saw Yin Ye, and then broke away from his mother and fled backwards!
Yin Ye didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately chased after him with Yin Yu!
"Don't run! We mean no harm to you!"
Yin Ye and Yin Yu are adults after all, but how far can a child run with short legs? Moreover, Teng Rongmu was holding a plastic bag in his hand. Not long after, the two gradually caught up with Teng Rongmu. At this time, Liu Xin was also chasing after him, shouting, "Rong Mur! Rong Mu!"
The distance between Yin Ye and Teng Rongmu became shorter and shorter. However, he also gradually ran into a narrow path with fewer people.
Just when he was about to approach Teng Rongmu, Teng Rongmu suddenly fell down!
With this fall, the plastic bag in Teng Rongmu's hand fell out. Then... what rolled out of the plastic bag turned out to be...
Tang Feng's head!
Yin Ye slammed on the brakes and stopped in her tracks!
Teng Rongmu immediately grabbed the head and stuffed it back into the plastic bag. Then, he slowly raised his head...
"Silver Feather, run!"
Where did Yin Ye dare to stay, she immediately grabbed Yin Yu's hand and ran towards another alley!
In the process of running away, Yin Yu also trembled and said: "What's going on? Tang Feng is actually dead?"
"Teng Rongmu... that child..." Yin Ye gritted his teeth and said, "We must find traces of the head from him!"
After running out of this alley, Yin Ye immediately stopped a taxi and got in. At this moment, you have to run as far as you can! Moreover, maybe even Liu Xin who was chasing after him would be killed and silenced!
After getting into the taxi, the two still dare not relax their nerves. Yin Yu was even more frightened and asked: "Brother, if Teng Rongmu is the decapitated demon, will he... come to kill us to silence him?"
Of course, Yin Ye knew this too. But now it's only the second day, less than a third of the time. However, it is possible even if the decapitated demon wants to kill them immediately.
Fifteen days and not being able to go back to the apartment... This is hell!
At the same time, Yin Junxian brought Huangfuhe and Xia Xiaomei to Li Xin's house.
After taking out the key and opening the door, he said, "Come in."
This is the place where Li Xin was killed, the place where the decapitated demon once appeared. Xia Xiaomei didn't want to go in at all, but she gritted her teeth and walked in considering that there might be a reminder of the apartment's survival at the scene.
As for Huangfu He, he was very calm and showed no signs of fear.
"I haven't been here for a long time either."
As a murder scene, this place has been sealed off by the police and a seal has been pasted outside. However, there was no police guard. I don't know if this is an "arrangement" of the apartment to facilitate the investigation of the residents.
After closing the door, Yin Junxian walked into the study where Li Xin was killed.
"Ah Xin...was killed here."
Everything in the room remained as it was, and Huangfu He also put on gloves to prevent fingerprints from being left. He carefully observed the entire room. Although the room was covered with a lot of dust, it was not messy. There really wasn't any sign of intrusion.
At this time, a figure was approaching the apartment where Li Xin lived.
Liu Zisheng raised his head and looked at the apartment, the door of Li Xin's house. At this moment, the window revealed light.
But in Liu Zisheng's eyes, there was a trace of extremely deep darkness...
