Chapter 393 Ten Days ([-])

When you are embarrassed, you need to change the subject most. As soon as Liang Xi hung up the phone, before Fanny could make a joke, he preemptively asked a question: "Hasn't the Kefu family's ultimatum to the Orphan Council expired for a long time?"

Fanny pondered: "As a middleman, I also don't understand why this matter has become very quiet. On the contrary, you reminded me that you said that part of the blood moon invitation may be related to them. Hey, where did you know of this information?"

This is the difficulty of anti-interrogation. What you know may be what others don't know.There is no way for the brain to classify all the information clearly like a computer.

According to Fanny, when the time for the ultimatum arrived, neither side took action.This seems to disprove Modo's conjecture that both the Kefu family and the Orphan Society have something to do with darkness.This old thing is really expected, and the essence can be seen directly through the performance.He should be brought to fight against Thresh, the proper nemesis of Thresh.

Liang Xidao: "In the circle, you can always hear some information. As an intermediary, what do you think about this case?"

Fanny thought for a while: "It's kind of weird."

"Strange?"

Fanny nodded: "I don't know how to describe it. We have judged that the person who killed Xiaoan was probably the female reporter's husband. But the female reporter's husband is safe and sound now, and the police have dispelled his suspicion. Although the female reporter's father is a bit strong, when Compared with the Kefu family, they are not at the same level. On the other side, the Lonely Elderly Society is also strange, and has an indifferent attitude towards the ultimatum. This is the attitude from the beginning, not nervous at all, and there is no way to deal with it."

Liang Xi: "Do you feel that you are not valued as a middleman?"

"Your words hurt my heart, but it seems to be the truth. Except for the direct communication between Hannah and Mia at Bobby's house, I didn't feel that they cared much about it. An Zhishi's attitude is very firm. I don't understand the contradiction between the two." Fanny said: "I even thought that they bypassed me and communicated in private. The strangest thing is of course the husband of the female reporter. Is nothing wrong? I spent [-] euros to send someone to keep an eye on him, but he has no other reaction except that he is still immersed in the pain of losing his wife, and no one monitors and follows him."

Liang Xi asked, "Do you think your husband took revenge for the female reporter?"

"Of course." Fanny asked back, "Why not?"

Liang Xi asked, "But the man who killed his wife himself is still at large."

Fanny was startled, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized: "I understand! The Kefu family doesn't care about the person who directly killed Xiaoan, but the person behind it. Just like a husband doesn't care about the murderer who directly killed his wife, he only cares about the person behind him. Concerned about who hired the wife killer. The husband is of no value to the Koff family, and killing him won't solve the fundamental problem."

Liang Xidao: "To further understand, there is no personal hatred in the case of Xiaoan's murder."

After tasting it, Fanny nodded slowly: "Hannah may be the most emotional person. Although the whole family feels sad about Xiao An's death, it is not sad. They are concerned about Xiao An's murder not because they love Xiao An, but because Xiao An is the core of the family. Personnel, the incident must be traced. Not out of subjective emotional needs, but out of objective responsibility needs."

After Liang Xiyi's analysis, Fanny solved the contradiction in cognition.Fanny's thinking is very limited, and she cannot develop her own views until a problem is solved.On the contrary, people like Liang Xi will ask questions, but they will not stop at the questions.The many questions raised by Modo are the accumulation of his detective career experience. As long as enough questions are asked, the truth will emerge.

Fanny secretly sighed in her heart, this time she went to Blood Moon to invite her, she could only be a vase.She has a good mentality, and she knows that it is impossible for her to be above the top of an industry pyramid.On the contrary, the tops of these pyramids go to other realms and can only be the cornerstones of the bottom.

Swimming with Fanny is very comfortable, Fanny doesn't flirt, speaks directly and honestly, and doesn't seem to have any scheming.Or just feel that there is no need to think about saying something to Liang Xi.Fanny has a lot of knowledge, and she is a real traveler. She met Liang Xi who read thousands of books, and the two chatted happily.Fanny knew about Liang Xi, but Liang Xi gained a lot from the detailed description of her personal experience.

Take the pyramids, for example.The ancient and modern culture of Egypt, as well as the culture of local residents, etc., are not much different from the information learned in Liang Xi's books, but there are intuitive differences.As a sensitive woman, Fanny is good at collecting feedback from the outside world.Fanny also has her own unique views on desert culture, humanistic philosophy, history and geography.

At [-]:[-] noon, the Beetle finally arrived at Bloodmoon Castle. Liang Xi gave this self-driving tour a nine-point score.If it wasn't for Fanny's existence that changed his attitude towards Thresh's bottom line, he could give him full marks.This kind of score is very dangerous. If Liang Xi and Karin have conflicts and quarrels in the future, and Liang Xi thinks of a relaxing self-driving trip, and meets Fanny again by chance, it may lead to the breakdown of family relations.Or the crisis of middle-class marriage is in the soul, not in money.

……

This invitation is not as grand as last time. Last time, many housekeepers and maids were outside to respond.This time, there was only one butler at the gate of the city. He walked to the side of the car, bowed his head and greeted the invitees politely, and handed them the keys.Liang Xi drove the car to the parking space in front of the main building, got out of the car and looked around, there were already several cars, all good cars.Forget it, there is a helicopter not far away, Bobby's bodyguard Pete is chatting with the pilot girl, who doesn't know what to say, the laughing pilot girl rolls forward and back.The girl's behavior in public doesn't mean how funny Pete's words are, but it can show that the girl has a crush on Pete.If it weren't for Pete's gravity, she wouldn't ignore her surroundings.

Pete has his own story. If Liang Xi remembers it well, Pete had a rich wife, but he divorced for some reason.As the biggest joker in the bodyguard team, Liang Xi likes Pete a lot.Strangely, Pete's best friend is the taciturn Pique.Maybe Pete is the bean, and the bean is known as a silly and funny person.In fact, Bean is not only a depression patient, he is also a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Oxford University, a super awesome man in science and engineering.

The chief bodyguard has his own story, and Fanny has her own story. Everyone's story is different, and everyone's life is different.It is said that when a person can realize this, it is equivalent to stepping into the most basic threshold of humanistic philosophy.

There is no one to receive, no one to help with the luggage, it can be said that there are not many staff members in the castle this time.But there is a fair amount of security personnel outside the castle.Liang Xi saw House poking his head out on the second floor, House waved to Liang Xi, and blew a kiss... Fuck, the man was dumbfounded when he saw Fanny.Liang Xi slapped his middle finger, and House left with a smile and went downstairs.

Liang Xi was picking up his luggage in the trunk. House and Fanny had already entered the living room talking and laughing. House didn't even greet Liang Xi.Liang Xi guessed that House had to show a general relationship with him first, and then copied the answer.

Anthony appeared right after, and when he saw Liang Xi, he bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry about what happened last time." It was about asking Liang Xi to come to the bar, kidnapping Liang Xi to shoot a video and threatening Liu Zhen.

Liang Xi was very curious: "Anthony, is there any special reason?"

Anthony smiled wryly, and walked with Liang Xi and said, "My son got into a big disaster while studying in the United States. That guy not only helped me settle the matter, but also helped my son get a green card."

Liang Xi asked: "Why did you go to that garbage place in the United States? Any third-rate university in East Asia can instantly kill all universities in the United States."

"Boy, let him live in the most difficult place, so that he can exercise himself." Anthony briefly introduced why he helped House. As for what trouble he caused, Anthony didn't say anything, and Liang Xi didn't ask. This is a private matter, no Glorious private affair.

To say that Anthony can be forced to violate the principle, only children.

Anthony introduced the situation of Blood Moon, and this invitation is different.The entourage of the guests is not allowed to enter the main building. They live on the opposite side, which is the place where Liang Xi was invited to live when he participated in the blood moon for the first time.They cannot enter the main building.At [-]:[-] p.m., security personnel will install surveillance cameras to monitor every movement outside the main building.Starting at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, guests cannot leave the main building, cannot use private telephones to communicate, and can use monitored public telephones.

The main building has all the supplies. The kitchen refrigerator on the first floor is full of ingredients, and a room on the first floor is full of supplies.Each guest's room is also equipped with a lot of supplies.

All above the second floor is closed, the second floor has been renovated, and two small rooms have been opened up to form a large room.In the back-shaped structure on the second floor, L is the guest room area, and 7 is the conference room, fitness room and other leisure places.

The biggest bright spot or dark spot of this blood moon invitation is that no one provides services for the guests.If you need additional supplies or requests, you can use the internal telephone in each room to contact 000.The telephone that can make outside calls is in the meeting room, and there is only one.

Guests can keep their mobile phones and computers, but the main building will block the signal at 8 o'clock tomorrow, and there is no network signal.If the guests really can't stay, they can go out to have fun accompanied by the staff. It is said that the staff will accompany them all the way.

Liang Xi entered his room 210 and motioned for Anthony to take a seat. Liang Xi said, "It sounds like we're about to release a secret."

Anthony: "Aren't you worried about silencing us afterwards for secrecy?"

Liang Xi: "With a high probability, it will not. If I plan to silence, I will divide each guest into a small area and put them under house arrest. Damn, who will be the chef?"

Anthony smiled: "We discussed this matter before you came. We decided to have a game of cards in the evening and distribute daily work according to the ranking. Cook, laundryman, etc."

Liang Xi supported and said: "This is quite interesting, what cards to play?" As a half-water magician, poker magic is the foundation.Not cheating?How is it possible not to cheat?Which of these people is the fuel-efficient lamp?East European agent Anthony, American CA senior agent House, social queen Fanny, and perhaps other powerful guests.There are also two bottoms: Chris and Poppy.

Anthony said: "Kenxi suggested playing Werewolf. He said that the blood moon invitation is a reasoning game."

"Kinsey? Kensey from Italy?" This guy is a detective, but he's good at fake cases and has a very bad reputation in the industry.

Anthony said: "Yes, and Kelante was also invited to participate in this blood moon invitation. It is said that Blood Moon promised to donate a sum of money to Kelante's hometown to build and improve roads, and build a central park."

Ke Lante retired to live in the countryside, which is similar to a natural village that has basically disappeared.A natural village refers to a place a few kilometers away from a small village where one, several or a dozen households live.The public facilities in these places are relatively poor, especially the roads.

Liang Xi's impression was that Ke Lante was full of energy and wanted to make a fuss when he returned to the countryside after retirement.Taking stock of all the guests, Liang Xi especially sympathized with Bobby who was fooled by him.Three detectives, two agents, and a little queen.Although Chris is an ordinary person, he is the representative of Thresh and has the privilege to communicate with the outside world.Poor Bobby, I guess he doesn't know that he is a little ant in this group of people.This can't work, no matter what tonight's game, Bobby has to get the last second.

Bobby can't cook, so he definitely can't be the last one, or everyone will live and want to die.Let's keep two and fight for three.

……

The guests this time are basically acquaintances. Although many people have never met Kenxi, they also know the ability of this little old man.No matter how bad an ordinary person is, he can't do anything bad.The most frightening thing is often a capable person like Kensi, who not only has the ability to do bad things, but also has the determination to do great things.

After the lunch break, the butler invited everyone to have afternoon tea at the restaurant on the first floor.The housekeeper specifically explained that this invitation is a current real case and needs to be kept secret to a certain extent.House asked how much, and the housekeeper explained ten days.

House asked, "Does that mean we have to stay here for ten days?"

The butler nodded: "This invitation will not deduct gold coins, only rewards."

The butler continued to explain the rules of this invitation.In principle, no one can enter or leave the main building within these ten days. If there is any inconvenience, you can leave the Blood Moon invitation now.At the same time, Blood Moon can take care of the guest's phone, assist the guest to communicate with their relatives and friends, and can also shoot a video and send it to relatives and friends to prove that the guest is all right.

The third floor and above of the main building are all closed, and the activity area is on the first and second floors. Only the meeting room has a monitoring system, and there is no monitoring in other places.The computer in the room can be used normally, but there is no network cable connected.At [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, the Internet will be disconnected, and the blood moon invitation session will officially begin.

The butler explained the materials in the cabinets in the room, and the guests could change the quilts and sheets at will, and also made clothes, pajamas and shoes according to each person's body.Blood Moon logistics are as good as possible.There are three troublesome problems, one problem is eating.One problem is household waste disposal.One problem is laundry washing.It is easy to handle the garbage, just put the garbage at the gate and have it collected by a special person.Clothes can also be improvised, anyway, there are several sets of clothes to change in ten days, so you don't need to wash them.Even meals can be handled. There are a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, including instant noodles, marinated and packaged steaks, just throw them in the microwave and heat them up.

Kensi suggested that we organize a game in the evening, and the last three will be responsible for these three problems.A cook, a garbage collector, a laundryman.

The butler took a positive attitude towards Kensey's proposal. He suggested adding some reasoning elements to let people with less ability do some chores so that people with more ability can concentrate on doing things.
