"But it was very quiet last night. I didn't sleep until the middle of the night, and I didn't hear any noise."
"What about your room?" Brother Lei immediately asked the people in the other two rooms, and the four people in the other two rooms also shook their heads.
"No sound was heard."
Fang Zhi and the other three simply repeated the sound of the baby crying last night, and also mentioned the quarrel between the host and hostess upstairs. A black plastic bag, the male owner first went out to the yard to throw away the garbage, and then came back to say hello to them.
The male host's eyes were a little tired. Obviously, he didn't sleep well last night. After a simple breakfast, the host's family went upstairs again.
After a while, Lin Meng came down from above. Today, she was wearing a long aqua blue dress, holding an easel in her hand, a drawing board on her back, and some other things, and said to everyone, "I want to go out and sketch. , does anyone want to go with me?"
Several people looked at each other, and the last seven people expressed their desire to stay. It is still uncertain who is the key NPC in this family to leave. Each of them has a small abacus in their hearts, not to mention that there were no dead people in the villa last night. It proves that this place is relatively safe for the time being. If you go outside, you don't know what you will encounter.
In the face of Lin Meng's invitation, no one could go. In the end, the troops were divided into two groups. Gu Xizhou and the three all acted together. Together with Dong Chao and Lei Ge, a total of five people agreed to accompany Lin Meng.
"Really? You are all willing to accompany me! That's great!" Lin Meng was full of surprise, as if she did not expect so many people to accompany her out, and was very happy.
Seeing that Lin Meng was struggling to hold the drawing board, a male voice sounded, "I'll help you get some!"
"Thank you!" Lin Meng smiled sweetly, handed the thing in his hand to Fang Zhi, smiled at him, his eyes curved into crescents.
Si Yu: "Is he here to fall in love?"
Gu Xizhou: "..." Xiao Fang is a real person.
Brother Lei: "... I think it looks quite similar."
Dong Chao: "Love jb love, I don't even know how to die!"
Fang Zhi took the bucket in Lin Meng's hand and the drawing board, and took two steps back to Gu Xizhou and the others. Seeing a few people staring at his face, he touched his face subconsciously and asked, "My face Is there something on it?"
Several people shook their heads in unison: "No."
Confused by a few people, Fang Zhi shook his head. He had been here for a day, and he hadn't seen any supernatural events yet. If it wasn't for Brother Gu, he would have suspected that it was a tricky show.
Following Lin Meng to the halfway up the mountain, several people were alert to possible accidents at any time, until they arrived at the destination, in front of a reservoir on the halfway up the mountain, there was no danger on the way.
In front of the reservoir, there are reeds taller than people, and the mountain wind is blowing, making the leaves rustling.
Lin Meng put the easel out, and when he opened the drawing board, Gu Xizhou saw a stack of paper, white paper on one side, and paintings on the other.
"Can I take a look at your painting?"
A clean and clear voice sounded in my ears, like a pair of hands gently massaging your eardrums.
Such a clean voice.
Gu Xizhou glanced at the owner of this voice with contempt. He remembered that the last time this guy slapped NPCs, the girl jumped off the building the next day.
Lin Meng heard the words, but did not show any strange colors, and generously took out the painting on the drawing board and handed it to Si Yu, "I'm not good at painting, you can just look at it!"
After speaking, Lin Meng was already sitting on the small chair that he carried with him and drafting on the drawing paper.
The five Gu Xizhou looked at each other and gathered together to look at Lin Meng's paintings, hoping to find clues.
The first painting - Lin Meng's self-portrait.
The second painting - Lin Meng and her sister.
The third painting - Lin Meng's father and Lin Meng's sister
The fourth painting was the one Lin Meng had just finished when they arrived here yesterday.
Looking at the four paintings carefully, Gu Xizhou and the others did not find any useful clues, just when the few people were at a loss, the girl who painted turned her eyes and landed on the five of them and said, "My background is painted well. Now! I want to draw three people in!"
Brother Lei hurriedly shook his head, his head shook like a rattle: "No no no, I'll forget it!"
Dong Chao: "I'm a little dizzy..."
With that said, Dong Chao leaned directly on Brother Lei. Brother Lei also supported the person with quick eyes and hands, with a concerned look on his face, "Are you alright?"
Gu Xizhou: "..." It doesn't seem like you are all acting.
Gu Xizhou glanced at Lin Meng and was thinking about whether or not to refuse. Si Yu took a step forward and said to Lin Meng, "Then draw the three of us."
Lin Meng nodded, and she said, "Okay, stand closer!"
The three stood side by side, with Gu Xizhou standing in the middle, and asked Si Yu in a low voice, "What's the matter with you? Those two were too late to hide, so you promised her? What if this is one of the conditions of death?"
Si Yu: "Trust me."
Gu Xizhou: "..." If I die, you are responsible!
Fang Zhi: "..."
Because they couldn't see Lin Meng's drawing board and didn't know the content on the screen, but they noticed that Brother Lei's face became whiter and whiter as the painting was completed, and the gloating on Dong Chao's face couldn't hide from Gu Xizhou San human eye.
At about noon, the woman put down her brush after painting the last stroke, and glanced at her painting with satisfaction, "It's finished! Look at it, do you like it?"
With that said, Gu Xizhou and the other three took a step forward and finally saw the whole picture of the painting. The background was the reservoir behind them, and the three men in the picture were different from what they had imagined.
Gu Xizhou was a little stunned when he saw the expressions of the people in the painting - the three people in the painting looked straight ahead with anger on their faces.
"Satisfied, thank you." Si Yu nodded and said to the woman.
Put away the painting, the woman walked in front, the five of them were behind, Brother Lei hesitated, with a bit of sympathy in his eyes, opened his mouth to say a few words of comfort, but in the end he chose to give up, he shook his head , walk away.
Dong Chao glanced at them and said disdainfully, "It seems that someone is going to die tonight."
Gu Xizhou: "..." Don't think I don't know what you mean, you think the three of us are going to die! Go away, I won't die even if you die!
After the two walked in front of them, Gu Xizhou asked Si Yu, "What did you find?"
Si Yu: "Did you notice the skin color of the three of us in the picture just now?"
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi recalled the scene just now, Fang Zhi raised his brows slightly, "The complexion is fairer, um..."
Si Yu nodded, "It's normal to draw me with fair skin, but when she drew the two of you, she didn't change her skin color, which is strange."
Gu Xizhou: "..." Don't think that I don't know that you are calling me black!
Fang Zhi didn't care, and said with approval: "It seems so, and when she painted us, her skin color seemed to be similar to her self-portrait color!"
"That's right!" Si Yu glanced at Fang Zhi with admiration, and said in a low voice, "It's not bad that he is a criminal police officer, his observation skills are not bad." Having said that, he continued, "3, the number 3, there is something special here. mean."
"Why didn't she draw five people, four people, exactly three people? At the same time yesterday, the host prepared 4 rooms for us. When you searched yesterday, you should have noticed that each room has 3 beds, and we have a total of 3 beds. Twelve people!"
Gu Xizhou: "... Only the three of us could hear the voice upstairs last night. That's because the number of people in the other rooms was either less or more."
"That's right." Shi Yu said.
…
Before arriving at the villa, Gu Xizhou heard rustling and noisy voices, someone was discussing something, and a woman was crying.
A few people ran into the villa as if flying, leaving Lin Meng to continue walking back slowly and leisurely by himself. When they entered the villa, they saw that two of the seven girls were crying.
There was a black plastic bag on the wooden floor of the living room, which was the one the host took out and lost this morning. Maybe because the plastic bag was opened, the strong smell of blood was everywhere in the air.
"What happened?" Brother Lei also ran in all the way and asked.
It was the corpse of a baby, covered with blood, which had coagulated for a long time after death.
It wasn't that no 'people' died last night, it was Lin Meng's sister who died.
"After you left, the four masters were all in the room, so we just wanted to find out if there were any other clues. Last night, we were in a hurry, and we weren't careful enough in some places, so we found this in the trash can..." Palely recalled the situation just now.
After the five of Gu Xizhou went out with Lin Meng, the seven of them stayed in the villa. Yesterday, they rummaged downstairs once and wanted to go upstairs, but the family was always upstairs, and they didn't dare to go in and search, only After going downstairs, I went to the small yard outside the villa and found this!
It was two more girls who found the body, and the two girls were quite frightened.
Just at this time, Lin Meng came in, and her eyes naturally fell on the plastic bag in the living room that contained the baby's corpse.
In the entire hall, several people gasped, and the air seemed to condense.
Lin Meng's gaze fell on the plastic pocket for a moment and then she looked back, her face was a little cold, but she didn't speak. She opened the refrigerator and turned around to ask a few people what they wanted to eat.
Recalling how much Lin Meng cherished his sister yesterday, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but be rude: "Hey, your sister is dead."
Hearing Gu Xizhou's question, the people around him turned their attention to him at the same time, because they saw that Lin Meng's face became blue and grim, the woman slammed the refrigerator door and stared at Gu Xizhou coldly.
Brother Lei: "???" Is there something wrong with you! If you are sick, you can cure it! Piss off NPCs and you will die miserably!
Just when they all thought that Lin Meng would cut Gu Xizhou in minutes, the woman suddenly calmed down and said lightly, "She is not my sister."
Brother Lei: "???" Wait, eldest sister, you have something wrong, or do you plan to cut him at night
