It was two thirty in the morning.
Gu Liang was taken to the elevator in the lobby by the man in black.
The man in black pressed the elevator for him and let him go in by himself.
Gu Liang's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand, but because his clothes were soaked through, he didn't lean against the elevator wall.
Barely standing up and panting for a while, Gu Liang took out the tissue he carried with him, wiped the sweat on his fingertips, and then pressed the button for the 6th floor.
After a while, the elevator stopped at the 6th floor.
After getting off the elevator, Gu Liang saw someone leaning against the corridor wall, as if they were waiting for him.
A wall lamp illuminates his tough and sharp facial features, as well as his lean and powerful body.
- It's Yang Ye.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yang Ye immediately turned back to look at Gu Liang, walked up to him, held his arm, and said in a worried tone, "How is it?"
Gu Liang wanted to ask him if he was staying here all the time, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was extremely hoarse, as if he couldn't say anything.
"Don't talk yet." Yang Ye asked him, "Where is the room card?"
Gu Liang took out the room card from his shirt pocket and handed it to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye took the room card and immediately bent down to hug Gu Liang.
Before Gu Liang had time to refuse, Yang Ye had already swiped his card to enter the room, opened the curtain, and put him on the bed.
Close the door, boil hot water, and pour it for Gu Liang to drink, Yang Ye did it in one go.
Gu Liang changed out of his soaked clothes, put on his bathrobe, leaned against the head of the bed and slowly drank a cup of hot water to recover.
He turned his head and looked at Yang Ye who was sitting by the bed. "I'm fine. Although it's been longer, this time it's physical torture, not mental. In fact, it's a little easier."
"Where are you hurt?" Yang Ye's voice was serious.
Gu Liang said: "No. At that time, I thought I must be seriously injured. But when I came out of the small dark room, I realized that I was fine."
"What happened to you?" Yang Ye asked him.
Gu Liang shook his head: "It's just crossing a mountain of swords. It really hurt at the time. But afterward, I found out that nothing happened."
Hearing this, Yang Ye immediately grabbed Gu Liang's feet and took off his socks to make sure his feet were intact.
Gu Liang was stunned for a moment, retracted his feet, and put them under the quilt.
"Gu Liang—" Yang Ye's voice suddenly became serious.
Holding the hot water cup, Gu Liang looked into Yang Ye's eyes through the warm mist, as if he had guessed what he was going to say.
Yang Ye probably wanted to say that he would definitely take him away with him.
But whether to go out or not, in the end it is still one's own business.
Gu Liang didn't want Yang Ye to take too much responsibility because of a promise, so he said before he could speak: "Don't worry. I'm fine. I'll find a way to get out."
Gu Liang raised the glass, drank the remaining water in it, and looked at Yang Ye again: "So, why did you violate the rules just now? It can't be because... there is an extra doll in your room, right?"
"No." Yang Ye tasted something from Gu Liang's reaction just now.
He sighed softly, after all, he didn't continue the topic, only returned to the script this time. "After we separated from you, I went to walk my timeline."
Gu Liang understood what was coming and became a little serious.
Yang Ye continued: "The timeline of my character is, after leaving the lobby at 11 o'clock, return to the dormitory area on the 6th floor, take the opportunity to go to the storage room diagonally opposite Rong Mingyuan's room when there is no one in the corridor, and hide Keep the door open, and pay attention to the movement at the door of Rong Mingyuan's room."
"And my real experience is that after I separated from you, I took the doll you gave me to the storage room and threw the doll there. The public plot is 'everyone has a doll in the room', I It is true that there is only my own doll in the room. So this should not count as my violation. What I violated is something else."
Speaking of this, Yang Ye got up and opened the wardrobe in Gu Liang's room, and sure enough, the doll had returned here.
Yang Yedao: "I think, when the two of us were punished, the man in black restored the scene of the case and brought the doll back to you from the storage room."
Gu Liang asked him: "So... you want to attack Rong Mingyuan?"
"Yes. I have been hiding in the storage room, watching several makeup artists and other NPCs leave Rong Mingyuan's room one after another. At nearly 12 o'clock, the housekeeper went to deliver a glass of milk to Rong Mingyuan."
"After watching the housekeeper leave, I took alcohol from the storage room as required by the script, went to her room to talk with her, and put her to sleep. After she fell asleep, I poured alcohol on her and burned her to death .”
Gu Liang frowned and asked, "Talk to her? Coax her to sleep? But my script says that you failed her, and she blamed you. She didn't even want to invite you to the wedding."
Yang Yedao: "That's a rumor from the outside world. In fact, she is a gentle person, at least she hasn't turned against my character."
According to the original script, Rong Mingyuan looked bright and charming at the dance party, while Yu Scumbag was still suave and suave.
Boyfriend Feng has never seen such delicious food in half his life, and he has always only cared about eating, drinking and having fun.
While he was eating, Yu Zhanan took the opportunity of toasting the lady Rong, and asked her to talk alone: "Rong Rong, you are getting married tomorrow... Can you give me a chance, let's have a good chat?"
Rong Mingyuan: "I'm already going to marry someone else, we have nothing to talk about."
Yu Zhanan: "Give me one last chance. In the past, you always asked me to tell you stories to lull you to sleep, but I always excused myself by saying that I was busy and never satisfied your request. From now on, I will have boyfriend Feng to accompany you. I won't do it again." There is such an opportunity. Tonight is your last single night, and I want to tell you a story and make up for it, okay?"
Rong Mingyuan finally agreed. "My makeup artist will come to discuss tomorrow's makeup with me in the evening. From 11:30 to 12:00, the butler will deliver milk to me. When they are all gone, come again. Don't let people bump into you and think I'm Hongxing Out of the wall..."
Gu Liang understood, and asked Yang Ye in surprise, "Speaking of which, when did you perform the plot with her?"
Yang Ye said: "When you go to the toilet on the way."
Gu Liang raised his eyebrows.
Yang Ye smiled and said, "Isn't that afraid that you will feel uncomfortable?"
Gu Liang asked back: "Why am I uncomfortable?"
Yang Ye: "We are 'officially declared' to be together."
Gu Liang couldn't care less about chasing Yang Ye at the moment.
His expression was very serious: "Speak seriously. Don't make jokes. Then what happened last night? Did the scumbag burn the famous lady? Could it be that she is the deceased in this case?"
Rong Mingyuan is the deceased in this case, could it be that Yang Yehui is the real culprit in this case
Seeming to feel Gu Liang's worry, Yang Ye said: "Indeed, the content of the script I have obtained so far, from the description, I look like a murderer. The script is written like this - I poured alcohol on her body, her body The face touched the cold alcohol, and this stimulation made her wake up immediately, and she couldn't help screaming. The alcohol flowed down her mouth and nose into her airway. At this moment, I lit a match and threw it at her. , Snatch the door and escape."
Gu Liang frowned even tighter. "According to this situation, she will definitely die. Could it be that there is some kind of magical illusion script, and she can escape?"
"It's not clear. But my script ends here. From my experience, usually, the scripts obtained by the real murderer will be very detailed. He will know the information of each character and the various elements involved in the script. Have."
Yang Yedao, "But my script is not like that. So I don't think I'm the murderer."
"It's just that I don't want to do things like pour alcohol into people's airways and set fire to them. I just let the man in black do it for me."
"Of course—" Yang Ye picked up Gu Liang's empty glass on the table and poured him another half glass of water, his tone became lighter, "Even if I am a murderer and you are a detective, I know, you are reluctant Let me die."
Gu Liang tried to get serious several times that night, but Yang Ye's gag ruined the atmosphere.
Gu Liang laughed angrily, and couldn't help asking: "Has anyone ever told you that you are thick-skinned?"
How can you chase after your wife if you are not thick-skinned
Yang Ye gave Gu Liang water to put on the bedside. "Okay, you have been tortured for two hours, and you still analyze the case with me? Go to sleep."
Gu Liang: "But I haven't taken a shower yet."
Yang Ye: "Wake up tomorrow morning and take a shower. It will only be a few hours."
Gu Liang still felt a little awkward, after all, he had sweated a lot just now.
But it is true that the two hours of being punished was too exhausting. Once he got on the bed, he couldn't move his legs.
Gu Liang finally accepted Yang Ye's suggestion. "Okay. You go to bed early too, you—"
Gu Liang wanted to ask him where he was resting, but Yang Ye looked at him with a smile and joked, "Do you want to sing you a lullaby?"
Gu Liang lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and smiled. "Can you still sing a lullaby? By the way, how did you know how to sing that song today?"
"I don't know the songs of many new idol groups. But I basically know the old songs."
Yang Yedao, "What's more, it's such a famous old song. When I was in school, I often sang this song in KTV. You haven't heard it?"
"It's a little familiar, I should have heard it before. It's just that I don't remember it deeply."
Gu Liang paused at this point, and added after a while, "Understood. You are a karaoke master, the little prince of nightclubs."
Yang Ye was happy. "Where did you learn these words? Oh no, why am I the little prince of nightclubs?"
Gu Liang didn't respond any more, and gradually fell asleep.
After Yang Ye was punished, he came back to wait for Gu Liang after taking a shower.
Right now he didn't need to take a bath any more, he just went to the bathroom to help Gu Liang wash and dry his sweat-soaked clothes, and then walked to the bed and helped him tuck in the quilt.
Finally, Yang Ye found a thin blanket, sat on the sofa, leaned his head on the sofa chair, and fell asleep.
7am the next day.
Gu Liang and Yang Ye were awakened by three "Dangdangdang" sounds on the system broadcast at the same time.
Yang Ye actually woke up once at six o'clock, his biological clock has always been very accurate.
However, because he slept too late last night, he squinted for a while, then fell asleep again, and this time he woke up for the second time.
Gu Liang sat up from the bed and yawned. He was still very tired from the punishment last night.
He opened the curtain beside the bed and was about to get out of bed when Yang Ye handed him a piece of clothing.
What Yang Ye handed over was Gu Liang's costume from last night.
Gu Liang's forehead twitched again: "Why?"
"You look good in your clothes." Yang Ye said.
The black shirt is covered with prints of various colors. At first glance, it looks like embroidery, but there are too many colors of prints, even a combination of green leaves and red flowers. Gu Liang can't appreciate it.
Gu Liang completely opened the curtain and stared at Yang Ye. Is there something wrong with his vision or something wrong with me
"This kind of clothes depends on the person's temperament. Ugly people wear it like dirt. Fairy people look good in it."
Yang Ye asked him, "Hey, don't you wear it?"
"No." Gu Liang got up and tried to find clothes, but belatedly remembered the punishment he took off his performance clothes after taking a shower after returning to his room yesterday, and changed into the shirts he wore during the day, and then went to suffer the punishment, so The shirt was soaked with sweat and could no longer be worn.
Is he really going to wear a floral shirt again
Who would have thought that Yang Ye would go to the balcony and come back, hand him a clean white shirt that smelled of soap, and said with a smile, "It's been washed. Put it on."
Gu Liang was stunned for three seconds, then took the white shirt. "Thank you."
"No thanks. The suit jacket is hung in the closet for you. Are you afraid of the doll? I'll get it for you?"
"… thanks."
Gu Liang took his shirt and went to the bathroom.
Seeing this, Yang Ye said, "Huh? Do you want to avoid me?"
—In the first script, the first day we met, you took off your clothes and went to sleep in front of me.
Tsk, the more familiar you are, the more shy you are
Gu Liang didn't respond, and just silently took a shower and changed clothes in the bathroom.
When Gu Liang came out of the bathroom, the radio rang.
"The following is a public story, and it is 7:30 in the morning. Guests, please go to the garden on the first floor to have breakfast."
Gu Liang took out the card and looked at it. According to the map, there was an open-air garden restaurant on the first floor.
The open-air garden can be reached from the main entrance of the castle to the back garden, or from the side entrance of the main hall where the welcome banquet was held last night.
Gu Liang and Yang Ye got dressed and went out together, then took the elevator to the first floor.
After passing through the main hall where the welcome banquet was held last night, through the side door, the two stepped into the back garden of the castle.
Outside the side door is a small road, both sides of the road are full of fruit trees, and a peach forest can be seen faintly at the end of the road.
After walking about 100 meters, another path opens on the north side, leading to the garden restaurant.
On one side of the restaurant is the wall of the castle, covered with roses.
On the other three sides, there are fruit trees and fences on both sides. The wooden fence is covered with unknown wild flowers, and crystal dewdrops can be faintly seen on the petals.
When Gu Liang and Yang Ye arrived, everyone was there except the groom and the bride.
Li Xiaoyu invited the two to sit down: "The honey here is very delicious. Of course... it's a bit boring to eat directly, but dipped in this bread, it's delicious in the world!"
"Yes. I agree. It's just that the amount of breakfast I ate today requires me to run around the castle ten times." It was Su Lan who played the role of Mei Design.
Butler Hao brought a few glasses of milk for everyone and put them down. "The bride-to-be, Rong Mingyuan, will be here soon. Boyfriend Feng can't come. According to the rules, from last night until today's wedding, they can't meet. If you have anything to ask Boyfriend Feng, you can go directly to his room."
"Oh, I don't know why my daughter fell in love with this poor boy. He wants to have no appearance, no character. The problem is that he still treats my daughter badly. Forget it. My daughter is very He didn't marry, he cried, made trouble and hanged himself. Forget it, I have money, so I just pamper her."
After Professor Meng finished reading this sentence with emotion, he immediately said, "I just read the lines in the character. Now I'm out. I don't hate the poor and love the rich, not at all."
Hearing this, Yang Ye and Gu Liang looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant - the fire yesterday did not really burn Rong Mingyuan to death. And it's as if other people don't even know about it.
This is very strange. Even if the fire didn't burn Rong Mingyuan to death, the quilt cover on the bed would have been burned. The housekeeper should know about it.
At this moment, Su Lan looked at Yang Ye and Gu Liang, and asked, "I heard that you both broke the rules last night."
Yang Ye just took a bite of the honey bread and didn't have time to speak.
Gu Liang looked at Su Lan, and spoke for Yang Ye: "Because I'm afraid of dolls, I asked Yang Ye to keep them for me. The public plot is that there is a doll in every guest room. I don't have one in my room, but there are two in his room." Only, so we both broke the rules."
Gu Liang's words were obviously helping Yang Ye conceal the timeline.
Yang Ye laughed. Although Gu Liang's expression was still clear and cold when he said this, Yang Ye felt that his words were much sweeter than the honey in his mouth.
"Fuck, is this a violation?"
Li Xiaoyu couldn't help complaining, "Fortunately, I'm smart enough! I panicked as soon as I entered this castle. After I went to my room, I didn't open any cabinets! Otherwise, I might have to give the doll to him." You guys. Until now, I haven’t seen the doll in my room.”
Su Lan glanced at everyone one by one, raised her eyebrows, said nothing, just took a sip of coffee.
The last one to arrive was Rong Mingyuan played by Dong Wan.
After arriving at the scene, she sat down and greeted everyone as a character: "Sorry for being late, I made you guests laugh. The main reason is that I had a fever last night. I didn't have a long rest, and I had to talk to the makeup artist again. The costumer communicates and so on, I really can’t get up in the morning.”
Meng Qiancheng cooperatively said as a father: "I said it a long time ago, why care about so many forms? The guests who come back here are all your friends, so just be casual. Don't be so entangled."
"There is still a sense of ceremony." Rong Mingyuan smiled, "After dinner, I have to go to make up quickly."
Having said that, Rong Mingyuan let out a sigh of relief and resumed the identity of the player Dong Wan. "Okay, the show is over. Eat."
Su Lan asked her: "Your complexion is not very good. Did you sleep well?"
"It's okay." Dong Wan said.
Su Lan added: "Where are the characters? Did Rong Mingyuan sleep well?"
"Very good." Dong Wan met Su Lan's gaze, and shook her head inadvertently, as if she had something to say, she didn't want to say it in front of everyone, but just wanted to say it to Su Lan alone.
Su Lan received this look, and continued to hold the coffee without moving.
Gu Liang turned his head and looked at Yang Ye again, neither of them spoke.
Yang Ye's character, Yu Scumbag, went to see Rong Mingyuan played by Dong Wan last night.
Gu Liang concealed this matter for Yang Ye just now, but Rong Mingyuan, one of the protagonists, obviously knew about the secret date last night.
But Dong Wan didn't say anything more.
Gu Liang and Yang Yexin tacitly agreed, and did not speak again.
This breakfast, probably only Meng Qiancheng and Li Xiaoyu were enjoying the delicious food, the rest of the people had different thoughts, but each one was hiding deeper than the other.
During breakfast, there was a shock from Gu Liang's card, because he had received a new plot.
— Boss Rong asked you to play chess with him in the garden. Although you are not interested in playing chess, who made him your boss? You still want him to share more of the company's resources with you. You have to play chess with him.
So, after breakfast, everyone went to their own timelines.
After Housekeeper Hao put away the dining table, he set up a chess set and left the restaurant.
In the open-air garden restaurant, only Gu Liang and Meng Qiancheng were left in an instant.
Meng Qiancheng sat with his back facing the main entrance of the restaurant, while Gu Liang sat facing the main entrance of the restaurant. He could see the path outside the garden restaurant and the peach grove not far away through the fence.
Therefore, when playing chess, Gu Liang raised his head, and he could see who had been to the garden, or even the peach grove farther away.
It was almost 8:30 when the two started playing chess.
"General."
"General again."
"General."
From 8:30 to 9:00, within half an hour, Meng Qiancheng was sent to the third army by Gu Liang.
Not long after the fourth chess game started, Meng Qiancheng directly threw his "handsome" to Gu Liang. "Here it is, just take it! Here it is! It's too much. This is too bullying. You don't know how to respect the old and love the young and let me go! I'm your boss!"
"I just don't want to fool you." Gu Liang said very sincerely, "If you don't play chess, we can chat."
"Come on, chat with you? How about playing chess!" Meng Qiancheng rolled his eyes.
Gu Liang was noncommittal, and rearranged the chessboard. "How about I play with myself, you can watch."
"You still have this ability?" Meng Qiancheng asked.
Gu Liang recalled something, and said: "It's okay to play chess. I used to have a classmate who was even better. He played Go with himself, and he could play Go for a day and a night. Go is the kind with the most variables—"
Speaking of this, Gu Liang caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and stopped watching chess, but looked forward.
—Yang Ye went in the direction of Taolin.
About 10 minutes later, Su Lan's Mei Design followed suit.
Gu Liang probably guessed that the two of them did this because of the needs of the plot - Yu Zhanan probably had an affair with Mei Design, and the two of them were going on a date.
But he raised his eyebrows anyway.
Gu Liang played chess with a slightly frowning expression the whole time.
After playing two games of chess with Meng Qiancheng, the two of them still haven't come out of the Taolin.
But at this time, another person went towards Taolin. It's Ai's best friend.
Seeing this, Gu Liang relaxed his brows, and continued to play chess with Meng Qiancheng calmly.
Yu scumbag is indeed a scumbag, could it be that he invited Ai's best friend to the grove
Is he going to roll over
After a long time, Ai Girlfriend and Meijiu came out of Taolin, but Yu Zhanan hadn't.
Gu Liang frowned again for a long time.
Finally, the scumbag played by Yang Ye came out.
Yang Ye's plot was probably over, so he went straight to the open-air garden restaurant, yawned and sat next to Gu Liang. "How are you playing chess?"
Before Gu Liang could reply to him, the system broadcast rang: "Guests, please go back to your room to rest and tidy up. Rong Mingyuan is the most noble princess in the castle, and the guests should also dress luxuriously at her wedding, so as not to break the etiquette , please go back to your room and get ready! It’s 11 o’clock now. At 12 noon, the main hall will hold the wedding banquet on time!”
Gu Liang stood up, walked along the path with Meng Qiancheng and Yang Ye, passed the side hall, and walked towards the elevator.
On the way, Meng Qiancheng couldn't help complaining to Yang Ye. "It's too angry, it's too annoying to play chess with him. I know he has a high IQ, but he also wants to make people."
Yang Ye rushed to Gu Liang and said, "Really? I can also play chess. When the game is over, we will play two games."
At this moment, the three of them got off the elevator and reached the 6th floor. Gu Liang glanced at Yang Ye, nodded perfunctorily, swiped his card and went back to the room.
Yang Ye looked at his back—why did he feel that he was a little angry
After entering the room, Gu Liang first looked around.
There was no obvious change in the house, except that the quilt was refolded, and bath towels, slippers, etc. were also replaced with new ones. It seemed that the room had been cleaned while he was away.
Gu Liang thought of something, and he didn't know if it was because of his sixth sense. He walked to the wardrobe, put his hands on the door, exhaled lightly, frowned, and finally pulled the door open.
—In the cupboard door, the doll is still there.
She was still smiling at people, her lipstick was still smeared.
But her right arm was gone.
At the same time, there was a hole in the clothes on her chest, and there seemed to be a faint wound inside, as if she had been stabbed with a knife.
