Regarding Lu Heng's death, everyone did not rush to report to the officials, but first checked Lu Heng's package.
At the beginning, Xi Shengnan's package contained Xiayu's jewelry, so it was hard to say what would be found in Lu Heng's package.
Most of the packages were daily necessities, except for a strange, palm-sized ebony box that caught everyone's attention.
Qin Ci used a cloth towel and opened the strange ebony box. There were some small pills in it. Qin Ci gently sniffed: "It should be throat lozenges or something."
"That is to say, there are no secrets in Lu Heng's package?" Cao Youning's eyes flashed with panic. This was the second death he experienced in this world, and the two deaths were very close to him. friend.
"It looks like a medicine box, and there are two similar boxes in the medicine box that I wrapped," Qin Ci said, shaking the ebony box to his ear, "It doesn't sound strange, but I always I think my pill boxes are bigger, even though they look about the same size."
Mu Yiran took the ebony box over, carefully observed the side and bottom of the box, and soon found a small hidden drawer, opened the spring inside, and the small drawer could be pulled out.
"It's too mysterious, I suspect that Lu Heng can't even open this small drawer..." Before Cao Youning finished speaking, he watched Mu Yiran take out a stack of paper from the drawer in a stunned manner.
"Is it the prescription?" Mu Yiran showed the piece of paper to Qin Ci.
Qin Ci wanted to nod his head to confirm, but in order to be safe, he still brought the medical book and put the paper on the torn page. The traces of the torn paper overlapped closely.
Everyone was stunned. They never expected that the formula of "poisonous incense" would be secretly torn up by Lu Heng and hidden.
Qin Ci smelled the smell in the small drawer in the medicine box again, his expression sank, and his eyes looked at Du Lingyu: "Xiao Du, do you smell this smell..."
Du Lingyu nodded with difficulty: "It's the smell. Sister Xi had that smell on her body when she died, and now Lu Heng's body... also has this smell. The smell in this drawer is heavier, but because it was placed in an ebony box , so the taste is subtly isolated by the aroma of ebony, and it is difficult to smell it. It is like the poison was put in the hot sauce at the beginning, and the taste was also isolated by the strong taste of the hot sauce. "
"I don't believe it, I don't believe Lu Heng would hide these poisons, I don't believe Lu Heng would kill himself by eating these poisons, and I don't believe Lu Heng would poison Sister Xi! Sister Xi can be said to be the most important person to Lu Heng." Mai Peng said intermittently. Say these words.
"Mai Peng, your face is very ugly." Du Lingyu was a little worried.
"I just have a headache, it's been like this since I woke up," Mai Peng scratched his messy hair, "I still don't believe it, Lu Heng would hide the drug from us! Maybe this is all done by someone we can't see, In the end we will all be poisoned by this man."
"No, there are probably so many poisons in total," Qin Ci replied to Mai Peng's words, at this time, he was slowly moving his eyes from the formula to Mai Peng's face, "I already counted all our possessions yesterday. Spice goods, the total amount of these goods and our goods is relatively small compared with the shipping order, and these few spices are precisely the ingredients for the formulation of this poisonous incense."
"what do you mean… "
"The recipe for poison doesn't need to be too much. If the ingredients that we lack, if we gather them together, we should at most fill the small drawer of the medicine box." Qin Ci looked at the crowd, "That is to say, the drawer contains all the poisons. , I put a small part in the hot sauce that poisoned Xi Shengnan, and Lu Heng ate the rest last night."
Luo Yao was obviously also confused by this sudden series of circumstances: "Was these poisons prepared by another person, and then this person killed Lu Heng and Xi Shengnan with these poisons."
"If that's the case, why not kill these two people at one time, but divide it into two?" It was Wei Dong who spoke, "If you poison two people at one time, the success rate will be higher."
Zhu Haowen: "And there is a premise, this imaginary murderer needs to master the habits of all of us, at least understand the tastes of each of us, so that Xi Shengnan can be poisoned to death by eating hot sauce accurately, and this person has the ability to make Lu Lu Heng sat alone at the table late at night, drinking these poisons calmly."
Hearing the word "drink", Du Lingyu discovered that there was a water cup beside the wooden table where Lu Heng's body was lying.
The door was gently pushed open, a burst of bright warm light entered the room, and the lamplighter stuck his head in: "Guests, do you need any help?"
Mu Yiran looked at the lamplighter: "We have dead people who need to be buried here."
"Okay, I'll call someone for help." The lamplighter politely left after saying this.
Now is the lighting time, which is the zero o'clock that Mu Yiran assumed at the beginning. At this time, the whole place is full of bright and warm light, as if someone cooking chicken soup whispered to you: Today is a brand new day.
Du Lingyu frowned and sniffed his sleeves, then sniffed his wrists, looking at the bright corridor outside the door, with an urge to escape.
She subconsciously looked for the shadow of Ke Xun in the crowd, and somehow, this person gave her the greatest sense of security.
Ke Xun seemed to be talking to Mai Peng, and it seemed to be about "helping the coffin".
"Ke Xun." Du Lingyu called out to Ke Xun in the crowd.
Ke Xun raised his eyes, in Du Lingyu's eyes, there seemed to be light on his face.
Du Lingyu said: "I have some ideas, but I don't know if they are useful."
Ke Xun's tall stature came out of the crowd: "Xiao Du, what did you think of?"
Du Lingyu walked out of the door and took a few quick steps to look at the corridor on the left and the stairs at the end of the corridor: "I had hallucinations just now, Lu Heng died, and he died lying on the table like this. There were only me and Sister Xi. I was very scared at the time, so I ran out of the room and ran down the stairs along the corridor on the left... I seem to be going to verify something with someone. "
Ke Xun didn't know what to say for a while, but felt that Du Lingyu's hallucination was extraordinarily strange: "You seem to have memories of things from another timeline, but these memories appear and disappear from time to time."
"You mean, my hallucination just now came from another time line?" Du Lingyu supported his head from the corridor railing to look at the stairs below, "I was about to see a woman, but the memory behind it was completely blurred. …Sorry, I can only think of so much, and I don’t know if it will help.”
"If I remember correctly, every time you have hallucinations, it's just after lighting the lamp." Ke Xun's eyes looked at the vertical lines on the corridor wall, the seven lines remained unchanged, still profound and decisive, "Or maybe, It's the death that triggers some point deep in your memory, and when you think about it, every death is discovered after everyone wakes up - strange, why don't the rest of us have hallucinations like you do? You In the real world, is there some psychic physique?"
"Shao Ling also asked me this question," Du Lingyu didn't seem to be completely out of her nervousness. At this moment, she stood with her back against the wall, in a self-protective gesture: "Unfortunately, I am in the real world. It's very ordinary, it can be said that it is completely insulated from those mysterious things."
"The hallucination you mentioned earlier included the scene of Lu Heng's death, and there was Xi Shengnan next to it, which reminded me of the photo last night," Ke Xun carefully recalled Mu Yiran's explanation for the photos last night, "It was That photo was taken 16 hours later, and I can speculate that it was about 18:30, when a man was sitting alone on the bed, and Xi Shengnan was lying not far away."
"Do you mean that the man is Lu Heng?" Du Lingyu recalled the content of the photo carefully, "At that time, Sister Xi's position was already at the bottom of the photo, if I was in the photo, then the photo I can't get a picture from that angle."
Du Lingyu calmly said this bold speculation, which made Ke Xun unknowingly admire this seemingly weak girl.
"If that's the case, I don't understand why there were only three of us left in the room. It was night, and there was no reason for the others to be outside..." Du Lingyu seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't say anything. Suddenly looked at Ke Xun firmly: "I don't know why, Ke Xun, among all the members, I trust you the most, even surpassing my old friends in the photography circle for many years."
From Du Lingyu's eyes, Ke Xun saw complete sincerity and a hint of... something resembling remorse.
"Especially when I see these seven lines, the feeling is particularly strong," Du Lingyu continued, "I don't understand why your decision is correct, and it is a destructive way to move forward. There was no compromise or hesitation.”
Du Lingyu wiped his eyes: "I don't know why I have these strange feelings, and I said these feelings in front of you, as if I wanted to say these words to you a long time ago, But it's like I'll never get a chance to say it."
Ke Xun heard some clues from Du Lingyu's words, but her inexplicable and emotional words made her unable to discern the direction again. Ke Xun slowly approached Du Lingyu and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Go to Lu Heng's funeral in a while, do you still have the courage to go to that window?"
Du Lingyu nodded without hesitation: "I will definitely go, although I think it's a little scary, but I want to find out what's going on, even if I see something more terrifying there, but I think that It should be closer to the truth."
"Okay," Ke Xun didn't know what to say when facing the brave Du Lingyu, "We'll all be with you."
"That's it!" Du Lingyu called out suddenly, absentmindedly, "I remember you said the same thing: We will all accompany you! All of us are united to take this step, although this step may be backward, but This step backward is to move forward in the long run! Although this step backward may be an abyss, but in exchange is eternal light!"
Du Lingyu said these words word by word, with tears in his eyes.
Ke Xun was dumbfounded for a long time: "I can tell you responsibly, I can't say these words even if I kill you..." Ke Xun scratched his head and asked, "Are you sure it wasn't Shao Ling who said this..."
"That's what you said! I was crying at the time, and many people were crying." Du Lingyu couldn't help crying again, "I can't remember what happened next, but I always feel like a deserter..."
Maybe Du Lingyu's voice was a little high just now, and some of his companions came to the door one after another, and even Mu Yiran came out, holding a piece of paper in his hand, on which large and small circles were drawn, and each circle was Divided by dividing lines at various angles.
Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun: "There may always be only one timeline, but it has been used in sections and dislocated, maybe there is no difference between retrograde and direct travel, just like when we drive on the highway and face the other lane When driving vehicles, because of the different directions, they always think that the other party is going the wrong way.”
Ke Xun: "Can you say something that I can understand today..."
Mai Peng: "I also want to make the same request..."
Mu Yiran said to Mai Peng: "According to the degree of your cold now, I think your cold will be completely cured soon, as if it never happened. - If this thing really comes true, then it counts as In disguise, it verified my thoughts.”
