It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 172 Mei Family’s Past (Part )
"Retribution?" Lin Yi was stunned, and then asked: "Is it just because of something you did?"

"It was not mentioned in the content of the quarrel." Li Zhengguang frowned and recalled the conversation he heard before, then shook his head again and said: "I'm afraid no one except the deceased Mei family's grandma knows how he suffered retribution. "

After both of them finished telling the clues they knew, they turned to look at Lin Yi, hoping to get some new information from him.

"My original identity should be one of the five night watchmen, but judging from the previous conversation between Mei Renxin and his wife, there are only four of them."

"That means there is a person with the wrong identity."

"But who it is, it's not easy to tell yet."

Lin Yi analyzed it carefully and continued: "The clue I have temporarily is that the night watchman Mei Renxin arranged it to suppress the grievances of the Mei family's grandmother."

"There is a big problem with her death, and it is inseparable from the Mei family and his wife."

"The other thing is that there was a disturbance in the mourning hall before, and someone saw it with their own eyes."

"This person is also among the night watchmen tonight, his name is Da Wu."

When he returned to the mourning hall again, Lin Yi felt very complicated.

"Big Five?" Li Zhengguang thought for a while and continued: "From this point of view, it is necessary to find this person again and have some contact. Maybe there will be any new discoveries."

"I think we should inquire more about the statues, such as the Dragon Girl." Lin Yi thought of the attitude and prayers of Mei Renxin and his wife towards the statues in front of the mourning hall. There must be a lot in it.

"What you said makes sense." Li Zhengguang nodded, feeling that what Lin Yi said also made sense.

The three of them made plans for the future. Li Zhengguang was responsible for tracking down whether the shadows were related to Chess, Ah Qi was responsible for exploring the statues to confirm whether they were Chess, and Lin Yi was responsible for sneaking into the night watchman to find out his identity, and Confirm whether the chess trick is hidden in it.

This time no one was sleeping in front of the mourning hall.

"Lord Dragon Girl?" When Ah Qi heard this name for the first time, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, "Which statue has a title?"

The other party may have discovered or seen something important.

"Why are you winning again? That's weird."

"Do you think Qi Gui will be the extra one?" Ah Qi suddenly asked: "After all, it is his territory, so it is normal for one more person to blend in."

"Perhaps the Mei family's retribution has something to do with the statue?" Li Zhengguang interjected.

The man sat pitifully on the seat next to him, holding a small handful of melon seeds and knocking them one by one, while his eyes kept looking eagerly at the cards on the card table.

But right now they really have no more important clues, and there is no other better way besides tracking down the extra fifth person.

Lin Yi didn't agree with this so much. He always felt that the chess trick was not so stupid for making the abnormality so obvious.

"Never." Ah Qi obviously knew that something was wrong, and her face darkened, "I only know that it was a statue brought from Grandma Mei's house."

At least it made them understand that there was something fishy about the ceremony in the mourning hall.

"I also think this possibility is relatively high." Li Zhengguang touched his chin, obviously also thinking about the way to hide Chess.

Everyone saw in each other's eyes the determination to look down upon death, and if they couldn't find any tricks, they would be killed sooner or later.

"Since this is His territory, how could we notice such an obvious difference?" Lin Yi shook his head and continued his analysis: "I think this is more like a smoke bomb, trying to confuse us and waste our time. ”

Li Zhengguang removed the barrier and looked at each other in silence.

Restored to the way it was when first entered.

The three losers reluctantly took out their coins and threw them to the past.

The four of them were in high spirits and were all sitting at the card table, having a great time.

It looks like he wants to continue fighting.

Originally, he was prepared for a hard fight, but his appearance inside changed again.

"It must be in the wrong position. Come on, change it."

Others in the Mei family also played important roles in it, perhaps as insiders or involved.

"Don't let their affairs divert us from our original goal."

Lin didn't know what he was thinking when he heard this. It took him a while before he said, "There are too many things going on in the Mei family, and there is currently no more information to support us in sorting out our thoughts."

"Yes, yes, the position where Daqing boy is sitting has wealth."

Although these exchanged information and clues are not critical and important clues, they still have certain direction.

Ah Qi also thinks it makes sense.

When Lin Yi came in, he happened to see Daqing being kicked off the stage by the remaining three people because he was too proud after winning money.

"And our focus is not on the Mei family itself, but on Qi Gui."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he briefly summarized the doubts and directions behind the information.

Daqing, who was at the card table, slapped down the last two cards in his hand and shouted happily: "I won! Come on, come on, give money, give money. I'm really lucky today, everything I touch is good." Card."

After all, there is one more person now.

These clues can help them grasp the situation faster and find the chess tricks hidden in it.

"You don't know?" Lin Yi was confused by the other party's words, but he quickly reacted, keenly grasped the key and continued to ask: "They never mentioned it to you?"

Some of these clues overlap with those discovered by the two men, and some are linked together.

The deceased Mei grandma was probably killed by someone, and the cause of death may be related to something that happened two days ago.

"Who are you?" Huazi, who had just sat down in Daqing's original seat, looked up and saw Lin Yi entering the door.

His eyes were full of unfamiliarity.

Zhao Danan and Da Wu, who were sitting opposite Hua Zi with their backs to Lin Yi, turned around and looked over when they heard this.

"you know?"

"you know?"

The two looked at each other and asked at the same time.

"Little cousin, you are here!" Daqing peeled off the melon seeds in his hand, turned around and looked over, and showed an expression of surprise when he saw Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

Daqing dropped the melon seeds in his hand, stood up, ran over and hugged Lin Yi vigorously, and enthusiastically led him towards the card table.

As he walked, he kept mumbling: "When did you come? Did grandma ask you to come? Why don't you rest at home for two more days?"

This series of concerned questions made Lin Yi feel warm in his heart.

No matter what changes happened in the mourning hall, and how much Daqing's personality had changed, the only thing that remained unchanged was his concern for his little cousin.

Fortunately, that's the case.

Otherwise, Lin Yi would not have been able to enter the mourning hall so smoothly and mingle with other people.

"Young cousin, right?" Zhao Danan looked up and down curiously, "He looks quite handsome. Do you have someone you like?"

"Go! Get out of here and stop trying to trick my brother." Daqing defended himself as always and rolled his eyes at Zhao Danan angrily. Don't think that he didn't know what the other person was thinking.

My little cousin is an educated man who returned from studying in a big city.

How could the little daughter of the Zhao family be worthy of it?

It doesn't matter that he looks ordinary, and his education is not high. He just went to school for a few days when he was a child and can only recognize a few big characters.

Thinking of this, Daqing deliberately stood forward and blocked Zhao Danan's view with his body.

"Oh, I just asked casually. Why are you so anxious?" Zhao Danan looked back and muttered in a low voice: "The reaction is too much."

Upon hearing this, Da Wu sighed in disdain, "My little cousin is only as old as your sister."

"Fifth son, we are not brothers anymore, how can we talk?" Zhao Danan glared at Da Wu unhappily and muttered: "Only when you are older can you take care of others. My sister is fine. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault." Dawu didn't care and shouted perfunctorily.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you guys want to fight? If not, I'm going to sleep."

Hua Zi, who had been ignored for a long time, suddenly asked. "Fight! Of course we will fight! Otherwise, how will we survive the night." Zhao Danan immediately spoke out.

Then Da Wu also said: "Of course I have to fight, but don't sleep."

"There's nothing good to sleep on. I didn't get enough sleep at home." Daqing quickly pulled Lin Yi to sit down and reached out to grab the cards on the table.

Snapped.
Hua Zi slapped Da Qing's hand, "My little cousin can come, but you can't."

"Yes, you just won so much money from us, so let's stop it."

"That's right, stay here for a while, I want to play with my little cousin."

Zhao Danan and Da Wu also did not want Daqing to come again, and they both wanted to win some money back from Lin Yi.

They all felt that Lin Yi was not a good card player at first glance and should be able to win.

"Okay, I'll let my brother fight with you, but don't go too far."

After all, they are friends who have played together since childhood, and they can tell each other's secrets at a glance.

Daqing knew what the three people were planning without even guessing.

Who knows, I am really lucky today, and I have gained some hatred.

But it was unbearable to let Lin Yi carry it for him.

"Brother, can you play cards?" Daqing leaned over and asked in a low voice, secretly expecting Lin Yi to answer no.

He can just find an excuse to stop the opponent.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi didn't know what Da Qing was thinking. He wanted to use the card table to make sure that there was no chess trick involved.

He took a look at the cards on the card table and roughly knew what kind they were playing.

Not very good at it, but I know some rules and gameplay.

"I know a little."

Hearing this answer, the three people who had been paying attention secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Daqing frowned, he was really going to be bullied now.

"Brother?" Lin Yi looked at Daqing, who looked a bit unhappy, in confusion, wondering if there was something wrong?

He had no idea what he was about to face.

"Brother, don't worry. If you lose, it's mine." Daqing sighed quietly and put all the coins he had just won into Lin Yi's hand.

There was a trace of reluctance in the words.

"Brother, don't worry, I will work hard to win." Lin Yi weighed the coins in his hand, which seemed a little heavy.

It seems that we did win a lot.

No wonder he was kicked off the table by the other three.

The beating lasted several hours.

After several rounds, Lin Yi lost a small amount in the first round because he was not very proficient, but after mastering the gameplay, he always won.

He won more coins than Daqing.

Daqing couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

On the contrary, the pressure of the three remaining losers is very low.

Zhao Danan even became red-eyed and dragged Lin Yi to the end, unwilling to end it.

You have to win it back.

After all this tossing, I don’t know how much time has passed.

Except for Zhao Danan who was still staring at the cards and muttering something silently, everyone else was a little drowsy.

After playing cards to a certain level, and there are no surprises in winning or losing, people will naturally become bored.

Lin Yi also felt a little sleepy. He held his face with one hand and looked at the cards in front of him with a somewhat distracted look.

In the past, in order to win the game, I used to talk smoothly.

He is multitasking. When playing cards, he not only has to calculate and guess the opponent's cards, but he also has to chat a few words seemingly unintentionally to get clues.

It’s really mentally and physically exhausted.

Lin Yi heard Zhao Danan's voice in a daze and subconsciously threw out the cards in his hand.

At this moment, he no longer cares about winning or losing, he just wants to end it quickly.

I really want to take a break, just for a little while.

Just when his thoughts were wandering to nowhere, Zhao Danan on the opposite side suddenly shouted, "I win!"

This sound instantly woke up the sleepy Lin Yi.

Also shocked were the remaining three people.

"Won? Congratulations!" Da Wu yawned twice in a row and put down the cards in his hand.

Hua Zi lay down on the table tiredly, closed his eyes and said: "Since we have won, let's stop here. No more fighting, no more fighting."

"Is it over?" Before Daqing could recover, he was forced to accept the coins pushed over by Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, "It's over."

He had already asked what he wanted to know and confirmed that there were no problems with the four people in the mourning hall.

Now I just want to find an excuse to leave and meet with Li Zhengguang or Ah Qi to discuss the next plan.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened.

what----

A scream broke the silence of the mourning hall.

"What's wrong?" Hua Zi suddenly jumped up from the table, opened his bloodshot eyes, and looked at the people in front of him who were also shocked, "What happened?"

"The voice sounds like uncle Mei's wife." Daqing replied uncertainly.

Zhao Danan said uneasily, "Would you like to go take a look?"

"If you want to go, I'll go with you." Da Wu replied hesitantly.

He also looked very frightened.

"Anyway, I don't want to be alone." Before Hua Zi's mind was completely clear, he subconsciously leaned against Lin Yi, trying to reassure himself.

Daqing was silent for a moment and looked at Lin Yi, "Brother, do you think you want to go?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else's eyes turned to Lin Yi.

For some reason, they felt that Lin Yi exuded a very different aura, which made people feel inexplicably very reliable.

"Go, there are many of us but there is someone to take care of you."

After Lin Yi answered, no one raised any objections.

The five people hugged each other closely, left the mourning hall, and approached the direction of the screams.

Mei Renxin is dead.

His body was hung in the holey room that Lin Yi had visited before, with a white cloth wrapped around his neck and hung on the beam.

Drops of water wet the hair on the other person's forehead.

His body was facing the door, his blood-red eyes staring ferociously at the door, and everyone who came in would be forced to look at him.
