Chapter 231 Rebellion 16┃The disappearing knife.
Ke Xun flipped through the four negatives one by one in his mind. According to Mu Yiran, if the last person shot was himself, then the content of the other negatives should also be the people in this room: "The one who eats Zhang, it should be the scene when everyone was eating. I remember Xinchun seemed to be in that position. Everyone fed him a lot of food. It looked like a lot of food."
With this explanation, most of the sense of horror was eliminated, and it was a little strange and funny.
Perhaps because of sudden relaxation, Ke Xun actually felt sleepy. Listening to the breathing of Mu Yiran next to him, the other party seemed to be on the verge of falling asleep.
Everything in the dark room was silent, as if only the curled cigarettes in the corner were alive.
The night seemed to be very long, so long that it was illusory that I 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 bedtime, but dark gray.
The room is still the same, with high wooden ceilings, large wooden cabinets against the wall, large tables, and the Chase shop where I lay.
Waking up alive, Du Lingyu secretly rejoiced, and at the same time faintly hoped that everything would end sooner. If he wakes up in this terrible room every day, it is estimated that he will be tortured to death by the spirit.
I don't know how long I slept, Du Lingyu felt a bit stiff in his body, perhaps because of the cold, Du Lingyu endured the stiffness and turned over, only feeling that the surroundings seemed not right, as if everything had fallen into inexplicable silence.
For no reason, Du Lingyu developed a sense of panic, and didn't even dare to move his sight, so he let his gaze stay in the direction of the wooden cabinet in the room, where there was a faint smoke that was lit by Mu Yiran. Is your timing incense? What time is it now? Are you still in the painting or the world outside the painting?
Du Lingyu smelled another scent in his nasal cavity. This scent was different from the previous one. Although it was faint, there were some seductive things in it, which made people want to continue smelling.
"Are you awake?" A voice rang beside him, Fang Fei.
Du Lingyu felt that this voice was a kind of salvation for him. At this moment, he relaxed and sat up slowly: "This feeling is really long."
"Get up, get ready to wash and eat breakfast." Fang Fei's voice was slightly cold.
Du Lingyu felt something was wrong. It was obvious that Fang Fei was sleeping on his left side. Why did this sound come from the right side? Du Lingyu looked in the direction of the voice subconsciously, and saw that Fang Fei had been neatly dressed, and was sitting on his right after a certain distance.
"Are you ready to wash?" Du Lingyu's gaze slowly moved from Fang Fei to her side, and she suddenly found Xi Shengnan lying motionless beside her-Xi Shengnan lying quietly, her face Covered with a cloth, she was not sleeping.
Du Lingyu forgot to scream in astonishment, she quickly left Xi Shengnan's side, looking at Fang Fei's appearance, the cloth on Xi Shengnan's face should have been covered by her.
Du Lingyu admired Fang Fei's calmness, and tried his best to stop trembling at this time: "Well, what is going on? Sister Xi, she..."
"Something happened to her," Fang Fei seemed to be on a mission to guard the corpse. "They have already called for someone."
Only then did Du Lingyu think of looking at other companions, only to realize that only Cao Youning was asleep on the bed. Lu Heng and Mai Peng were also in the room at this time, standing beside 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 up everyone, 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 tell the feeling. It's like being pulled back from another world. My heart jumped out of discomfort. After a long time, I still feel sick.
"Oh, wait for him to wake up..." Du Lingyu felt that he seemed to be 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 your ears and close your ears. Close your eyes, if you don't look or listen, you will be safe.
Du Lingyu suddenly remembered something: "Hey? Mai Peng, your voice, your voice is completely restored? Are you all cold?"
Obviously, I had a very serious cold yesterday, so I just say it is good today.
Lu Heng seemed to have just reacted, but at the moment he just looked at Mai Peng without a thought, and didn't say anything, his eyes rested on the lying Xi Shengnan again, and there was a desperate silence in his eyes.
Mai Peng: "I'm also surprised. My voice suddenly recovered and my nasal congestion alleviated. However, my throat hurts like a knife."
Du Lingyu was puzzled, but couldn't explain anything. Besides, the bigger thing in her heart at the moment was the death of Xi Shengnan. How did she die, what did she experience last night? I slept next to her last night, does that mean I passed by with death last night?
Du Lingyu felt cold all over, so cold that it was almost frozen.
"Where is it? This one?" There were noisy voices outside.
It was Ke Xun who opened the door: "Yes, we didn't move after we found out, and it remained the same."
In addition to a few old members, there is also a middle-aged man who looks like a steward. He has a calm expression. He slowly approached the bed and nodded slightly when he saw Fang Fei: "Master Wu."
Fang Fei had to nod his head in return, and cast his eyes on Xi Shengnan's body: "Everyone is asleep, no one heard anything, she just..."
"I heard it was poisoned to death?" The steward had already walked to the front of the shop.
Fang Fei nodded, and personally lifted the cloth towel covering Xi Shengnan's face.
Du Lingyu closed his eyes subconsciously, but Fang Fei's voice was heard clearly in his ears: "Because the face is completely black and blue, and the seven orifices are bleeding, we infer that it is poisoned."
Du Lingyu shivered. 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 fill his brain, and he is afraid and sad in his heart-sister Xi will leave everyone forever...
The steward seemed to observe for a while, and then said for a long time: "It looks like it is really poisoned, does she have any enemies in the Light Brigade?"
"Absolutely not!" Lu Heng's voice was a little excited, "She just came, and she doesn't even know the people here."
"So, what about these people within you?"
"No! We have no reason to kill her!" Lu Heng's voice was almost crying, "Sheng Nan is like a close sister to all of us, so we won't treat her..."
The steward's voice was cold and merciless: "Can I take a closer look?"
"Please, please." Fang Fei seems to be saying.
After a long time, until the room suddenly lit up, Du Lingyu couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked away. Only then did he find that the lamplighter from yesterday came in to light up every gauze lamp.
"Old Jing, come and have a look." The steward called the lamp lighter.
The lamplighter walked over with steady steps, and he didn't panic when he saw the dead man on the bed: "Are there any arrangements? Your lord brigade officer."
"Look at the hairpin on the deceased's head, is it the one that Xiayu lost?" the steward said.
This sentence obviously caused a lot of dissatisfaction, especially Lu Heng: "We are here in 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 Xiayu. The jewelry of the Chu family is marked. There is a character Chu carved inside this hosta, which cannot be copied by others. ."
The steward, the ‘Brigade Officer’ in the light-emitting population, said: “We need to check her other jewelry.”
Everyone did not expect things to develop to this point, but as far as the situation is concerned, fearlessness is not the best option.
As a result, everyone could only offer Xi Shengnan's package on their own initiative. Fortunately, the developing tank and photography-related things in it have been put in the common cabinet.
The brigade officer quickly found the jewelry box in the package and opened the jewelry box to reflect the lights one by one: "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 rectangular box with a peculiar shape. When he opened it, there were some knives inside.
"This was brought by Sister Xi from outside... it was brought by Lantern Travel! These have nothing to do with the Chu family." Du Lingyu couldn't help but explain-this box is Xi Shengnan's ceramic knives brought in from the outside world. At this point, it was drawn "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 knives, but there are no knives."
This... Lu Heng is not easy to explain. The two knives should have not been successfully recognized by the painting, so they could not show up.
Shao Ling was surprised on the side: Xi Shengnan did not communicate with everyone about this matter. At that time, he only mentioned a few words about ceramic knives. The fact that two knives were missing was not publicly stated, at least not. Everyone said.
In the painting world, there are very few things that disappear because they can’t be recognized, even the most taboo time in the world-everyone’s mobile phones just lack clocks, calendars and other timing functions, as well as other smart functions, but at least they can still illuminate. At least it can retain the appearance of a mobile phone; including the world's most taboo watches, which have not disappeared out of thin air, but turned into ornaments such as bracelets.
There are two missing knives in a set of knives, which is absolutely abnormal, and no one knows about this.
Mai Peng's voice was a little faint, and he explained to a few old members in a low voice: "At that time, Sister Xi said that there were few things, and two new style knives were missing. We thought it might not be recognized in the painting..."
The brigade officer's voice became more and more serious: "These knives have a word of Xi, this dead woman's last name is Xi?"
Mai Peng still remembers the original appearance of this set of props. It was a set of ceramic knives in a resin box on which Xi Shengnan wrote the word "奚".
Qin Ci answered the words of the brigade officer: "Yes, our companion is indeed surnamed Xi, my lord, is there any problem with this matter?"
The words of the lord of the hotel spread word by word to everyone's ears: "Xiayu was stabbed to death by a knife. There were a lot of knives all over her body. In the end, the two knives were still on her body, and both knives were carved with one. The word'xi'."
Perhaps things reversed so quickly that people were caught off guard. Everyone didn't say anything, but more puzzled.
The lamplighter's words slowly sounded: "Master Wu is right. The murderer is a woman, and this woman will get retribution."
