Ke Xun turned over the four negatives one by one in his mind, according to Mu Yiran's statement, if the last photo was of himself, then the content of the other negatives should also be the people in this room: "The one who eats the food. One, it should be the scene when everyone is eating, I remember Xinchun seems to be in that position, everyone fed it a lot of food, it looks like a lot of food."

This explanation removes most of the horror, and there is also a little bit of strange amusing.

Perhaps because of the sudden relaxation, Ke Xun felt sleepy. Hearing Mu Ran's breathing beside him, the other party seemed to be on the verge of falling asleep.

Everything in the dark room was silent, as if only the curling cigarette in the corner was alive.

This night seemed to be very long, long enough to make one feel that he had slept for seven days and seven nights.

When Du Lingyu opened his eyes, the room was no longer as dark as it was before going to bed, but a very dark gray.

The room is still the same, with high wooden ceilings, large wooden cabinets against the wall, a large table, and a large bed on which to lie down.

Actually woke up alive, Du Lingyu secretly rejoiced on the one hand, and vaguely hoped that everything would end soon. If he woke up in this terrible room every day, he would be tortured to death by his spirit sooner or later.

I don't know how long I slept, but Du Lingyu felt that his body was a little stiff. Maybe it was because of the cold. Du Lingyu endured the stiffness and turned over. He only felt that the surroundings didn't seem right, as if everything was in an inexplicable way. Dead silence.

For no reason, Du Lingyu felt a sense of panic, and he didn't even dare to move his eyes, so he let his eyes stay in the direction of the wooden cabinet in the room, where there was a faint smoke, it was Mu Yi. Is it the lit chrono incense? What time is it now? Are you still in the world inside or outside the painting

Du Lingyu smelled another aroma in his nose. This aroma was different from the previous one. Although it was also faint, there was something tempting in it, which made people want to continue smelling it.

"Are you awake?" A voice sounded beside him, it was Fang Fei.

Du Lingyu felt that this voice was a kind of redemption for him. At this moment, he loosened his muscles and sat up slowly: "This sleep is really long."

"Get up, get ready to wash and have breakfast." Fang Fei's voice was slightly cold.

Du Lingyu felt something was wrong. Fang Fei was sleeping on his left side, so why did the sound come from the right side? Du Lingyu looked in the direction of the voice subconsciously, and saw that Fang Fei was already dressed, so she sat at a distance to her right.

"Have you washed up?" Du Lingyu's eyes slowly moved from Fang Fei to her side, and she was surprised to find Xi Shengnan lying motionless beside her—Xi Shengnan was lying silently, her face covered A piece of cloth, she was not sleeping.

Du Lingyu forgot to scream in amazement, she quickly left Xi Shengnan's side, looking at Fang Fei's appearance, the cloth on Xi Shengnan's face should be covered by her.

Du Lingyu admired Fang Fei's calmness, and tried her best to stop trembling: "Well, what's going on here? Sister Xi, she..."

"She's in an accident," Fang Fei's task seemed to be to guard the corpse, "they have already gone to call someone."

Du Lingyu only remembered to look at the other companions at this time, only to realize that Cao Youning was the only one sleeping on the bed. Lu Heng and Mai Peng were also in the room at this time, standing on the edge of the bed with very ugly expressions.

Du Lingyu slowly moved to the side of the two companions and said in a low voice, "Why don't you wake everyone up, Cao Youning now... Do you want to wake him up?"

Mai Peng: "Don't, Lu Heng woke me up just now, I almost died."

"what?"

"I can't explain the feeling. It's like being pulled back from another world. My heart is so uncomfortable that it almost jumps out.

"Oh, let's wait for him to wake up..." Du Lingyu felt that he was deliberately talking about irrelevant topics, because he was really afraid to talk about Xi Shengnan's death, as if this "death" was a secret, just cover his ears and close Eyes, if you don't see or hear, you will be safe.

Du Lingyu suddenly remembered something: "Hey? Mai Peng, your voice, your voice has completely recovered? Are you feeling better from a cold?"

It was obvious that I had a very serious cold yesterday, so I'll be fine today.

Lu Heng seemed to have just reacted, but at the moment he just looked at Mai Peng absentmindedly, and didn't say anything, his eyes stayed on Xi Shengnan who was lying down again, his eyes were full of despair and silence.

Mai Peng: "I'm also surprised. My voice suddenly recovered, and my nasal congestion was relieved. However, my throat was so sore that it hurt like a knife."

Du Lingyu was puzzled, but couldn't explain anything. Besides, the bigger thing in her heart at the moment was Xi Shengnan's death. How did she die, and what happened to her last night? I slept next to her last night, does that mean that I passed the god of death last night

Du Lingyu felt cold all over, so cold that he was almost frozen by ice.

"Where is it? This room?" There were loud voices outside.

It was Ke Xun who opened the door: "Yes, we didn't move it after we found it, and it remained the same."

In addition to a few old members, there was also a middle-aged man who looked like a manager. His expression was very calm, and he slowly approached the bed. When he saw Fang Fei, he nodded slightly: "Master Wu."

Fang Fei had no choice but to nod in return, looking at Xi Shengnan's body: "Everyone is asleep, no one heard anything, she just..."

"I heard it was poisoned?" The steward had already walked to the shop.

Fang Fei nodded and lifted the cloth covering Xi Shengnan's face with her own hands.

Du Lingyu closed his eyes subconsciously, but he heard Fang Fei's voice very clearly in his ears: "Because the face is completely black and blue, and the seven orifices are bleeding black, so we infer that it is poisoning."

Du Lingyu shuddered, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, "the face is black and blue and the seven orifices are bleeding" is enough to make up for it, and I feel scared and sad in my heart - Sister Xi will leave everyone forever...

The steward seemed to observe for a while, before saying, "It looks like she is poisoned. Does she have any enemies in the Lantern Brigade?"

"Absolutely not!" Lu Heng's voice was a little excited, "She just came, and she doesn't know the people here at all."

"So, what about these people within you?"

"No! We have no reason to kill her at all!" Lu Heng's voice almost burst into tears, "Sheng Nan is like a close sister to all of us, so we won't treat her..."

The manager's voice was cold and ruthless: "Can I take a closer look?"

"You please." It seemed that Fang Fei was saying.

After a long time, until the lights in the room suddenly lit up, Du Lingyu couldn't help opening his eyes to look elsewhere, only to find that the lamplighter from yesterday came in and lit every yarn lamp.

"Old Well, come and have a look." The steward greeted the lamplighter.

The lamplighter walked over with steady steps, and he didn't panic when he saw the dead man on the bed: "Is there any arrangement? Sir Brigadier."

"Look at the hairpin on the deceased's head, is it the one that Xiayu lost?" the steward said.

This sentence obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, especially Lu Heng: "We came here with this outfit! Sheng Nan has always been wearing this hairpin! Sheng Nan will not take other people's things!"

The lamplighter took the hairpin handed over by the steward and carefully identified it: "It is indeed a jade, the jewelry of the Chu family is marked, and there is a word Chu engraved on the inside of this hairpin, which cannot be imitated by other families. of."

The steward, who is the 'Lord Brigade' in the mouth of the lamplighter, said: "We need to check her other jewelry."

Everyone did not expect that things would develop to this stage, but in the current situation, fearless stopping is not the best choice.

Therefore, everyone could only provide Xi Shengnan's package on their own initiative. Fortunately, the developer tank and photography-related items in it have been put into the public cabinet.

The brigade officer soon found the jewelry box in the package, opened it and illuminated the jewelry one by one to the light: "Most of these jewelry have the mark of 'Chu', there is also a box here, this box is What is this for?"

The brigade officer soon found a small oblong box with a strange shape, opened it, and found some knives inside.

"This is what Sister Xi brought from outside... It was brought from outside the lamp brigade! These have nothing to do with the Chu family." Du Lingyu couldn't help but explain - this box is the ceramic knife that Xi Shengnan brought in from the outside world, and it came here. It was painted "default" as a metal knife.

The brigade officer was unmoved, and carefully checked the knives in the box one by one: "Why are there two missing? There are obviously grooves for holding knives, but there are no knives."

This... Lu Heng is not easy to explain, the two knives should not have been successfully recognized by the painting, so they couldn't show up.

Shao Ling was surprised: Xi Shengnan didn't communicate with everyone about this matter. At that time, he only mentioned a few words about the ceramic knife, but he didn't say it publicly about the lack of two knives, at least not with everyone. People say.

In the world of paintings, there are very few things that disappear because they can't be recognized, even the most taboo time in this world - everyone's mobile phone just lacks timekeeping functions such as clocks, calendars, and other intelligent functions, but at least it can still be illuminated, at least It can still retain the appearance of a mobile phone; including the most taboo watch in the world, it has not disappeared out of thin air, but has become an ornament such as a bracelet.

There are two knives missing in a set of knives. This is absolutely abnormal, and everyone doesn't know about this.

Mai Peng's voice was a little hollow, and he explained to several old members in a low voice: "At that time, Sister Xi was saying that there was something missing, two new-style knives were missing, and we thought that it might not be recognized in the painting..."

The officer's voice became more and more serious: "There is a word Xi on these knives, this dead woman's surname is Xi?"

Mai Peng still remembered the original appearance of this set of props. It was a set of ceramic knives in a resin box. The word "Xi" was written on the resin box by Xi Shengnan.

Qin Ci answered the words of the brigade officer: "Yes, our companion's surname is indeed Xi. Sir, is there any problem with this matter?"

The words of the hotel's adults entered everyone's ears: "Xiayu was stabbed to death by a knife, and many knives were hit all over her body. In the end, the two knives remained on her body, and the two knives were engraved on them. A 'xi' word."

Maybe things turned around too quickly, and people were caught off guard. Everyone didn't say anything, and there was more confusion.

The lamplighter's words slowly sounded: "Master Wu is right, the murderer is a woman, and this woman will get retribution."
