Long night dreams

Chapter 13 The Show Begins (3)
In panic, Guo Haoran put on his coat and rushed to the corridor.Li Shoulian disappeared, Ye Mei was screaming again, and the entire corridor was filled with an irresistible atmosphere of terror.Guo Haoran looked around, but luckily everyone else was there.When they entered Ye Mei and Zhang Dongsheng's room and saw that Zhang Dongsheng's head was gone, Lian Zi and Su Xin cried out hysterically.On the other hand, Wang Yang hugged Xia Qingqing's soft body and covered her eyes with his palms, preventing her from seeing this terrible scene at all.

Seeing Ye Mei who was trembling and crying loudly, Guo Haoran also felt pity, he hugged Ye Mei, and put her head on his chest.Guo Haoran tried his best to straighten his chest, trying to give Ye Mei a sense of security as much as possible.And Ye Mei also seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, tightly clutching the corner of Guo Haoran's clothes, unwilling to let go at all.

Only at this moment, Ye Mei knew that she couldn't do without Guo Haoran.But she remembered the nightmare in the dark night again. In the dark and narrow alley, Guo Haoran sneered ferociously when he put on the mask, and she felt unstoppable fear and nausea.

Ye Mei suddenly pushed Guo Haoran away, wearing only a pajamas as thin as a gauze wing, and rushed out of the room full of bloody smell.But when she came to the corridor, she didn't know where to go.There are two corpses on the first floor, Roger without a calf and the old lady Jin without an arm.Nowhere is safe, Ye Mei felt that in the air, there was the arrogance of death approaching gradually, with the smell of the flood of dead bodies, getting closer and closer to her, leaving her nowhere to hide.She felt the air around her being slowly stripped away, leaving only a vacuum.She knelt down helplessly, hugged her head, and burst into tears.Weeping bitterly, Zhang Dong died, and the person she loved the most in the world died, and he died by her side.An hour ago, it was a living man who was still making love to her, but only an hour later, it became a corpse without a head.This kind of experience was enough to make Ye Mei collapse to the extreme.

Gradually white belly appeared outside the window, and everyone gathered in Lian Zi and Su Xin's room.On the first floor, the ladies didn't dare to go down anymore, and they didn't dare to go to the room where Zhang Dongsheng died tragically, or the room where Li Shoulian disappeared.All the people lost their sleepiness and did not dare to separate from each other, so they all huddled in Lian Zi and Su Xin's room, looking at each other with their own concerns.

There are only two men in the room, Wang Yang and Guo Haoran.In fact, Wang Yang is just a student who has just grown up. When he really experienced death himself, his heart was also full of fear. At this moment, he is also looking at the only remaining adult man——Guo Guo. awe-inspiring.

Guo Haoran also knows the task on his shoulders now, he must stabilize everyone's emotions.

Ye Mei had stopped crying, she fell down on the carpet and fell into a deep sleep, snoring lightly.Guo Haoran looked at Ye Mei affectionately, then coughed, and said slowly: "Everyone, don't be nervous, we are all staying together now, the murderer dare not come face to face with us."
Lianzi suddenly raised her head, looked at Guo Haoran and said heartlessly, "Didn't you just say that the murderer is among us? If the murderer is in this room now, he still has a way to continue killing!"
Guo Haoran's heart skipped a beat, as if a needle had stabbed his heart hard.What Lian Zi said was actually what he was most worried about.After pondering for a moment, Guo Haoran said, "Actually, I guess I already know who the murderer is."
Everyone raised their eyes and looked at Guo Haoran in surprise: "Who is the murderer?"
Guo Haoran said word by word: "It's the bearded painter Li Shoulian.

Then, Guo Haoran expressed his analysis.Li Shoulian must be the murderer, and a murderer who conspired with Luo Jie!I just came to Chapter 1 of the Hongmen Hotel.What's more suspicious is that after Guo Haoran found out that there was a bug in the house, everyone searched carefully for the darkroom in the house, and Li Shoulian went to find it alone.At that time, it is entirely possible that he went to meet Roger in one of the guest rooms on the second floor and killed Roger to make a videotape.Now the only way to reason is to put all doubts on Li Shoulian.

After Guo Haoran finished speaking, everyone in the room let out a long breath.Although there are still many loopholes in what Guo Haoran said, but if he can push the suspicion to someone who is not present, others will feel that the murderer is not among them, and they will feel safer to some extent.

Guo Haoran added another sentence: "It will be dawn in a while, I guess Li Shoulian must still want to commit new crimes. The six of us must act together, and don't separate at will."
At this time, Su Xin stood up suddenly and walked to the side of the guest room.

"What are you going to do? I just said that we should act in unison!" Guo Haoran said to Su Xin dissatisfied.

Su Xin glanced at it, raised her hand, and said, "Can I go to the bathroom? Are you being too lenient?"
Guo Haoran smiled awkwardly, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to smoke one.But when he took out the cigarette case, it was empty. Unluckily, he crumpled the cigarette case and threw it on the ground.

As a writer, Guo Haoran is used to smoking while writing, and he is quite addicted to smoking.At this moment, after the addiction to smoking was suspended, he suddenly felt restless, always feeling that he owed something in his heart.

At this time, Su Xin took a pack of cigarettes from the Kun bag on the bed and threw it to Guo Haoran. It was a pack of women's ESSE cigarettes in green packaging.Su Xin smiled and said: "I still have ESSE here, mint flavored, if you are used to smoking, you should relieve the slander first." Then she gracefully walked into the toilet connected to the guest room.

Although Guo Haoran doesn't like mint-flavored women's cigarettes, it's always better than nothing.He hastily tore open the package, took a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it up, and took a good puff.

He slowly exhaled the smoke, and the room was filled with the mint fragrance of tobacco.

When Guo Haoran opened his eyes, he was taken aback.He didn't know how he fell asleep, and the others around him were also lying on the ground, falling asleep without exception.He looked down at the cigarette butts on the ground, and suddenly remembered what was going on.

He remembered that after smoking more than half of an ESSE lady's cigarette, he felt his lips were astringent and his mouth was dry.He wanted to lick his lips with his tongue, only to realize that his tongue was out of control.He immediately understood what was going on, and secretly called out badly.There is something wrong with this ESSE ladies cigarette, it has narcotics in it.He wanted to call for help.But he saw that after the smoke spread throughout the room, other people's eyes became blurred, their bodies kept shaking, and then fell to the ground one after another.In the end, Guo Haoran couldn't avoid the end of fainting in front of his eyes.

Now when Guo Haoran wakes up, the first thing he does is to see if any accident happened to other people.Fortunately, Ye Mei, Lian Zi, Xia Qingqing, and Wang Yang were all fine. They were still lying on the ground breathing evenly and fell into a deep sleep.Su Xin is the only thing missing in the room!
When Guo Haoran was in a coma, Su Xin went to the toilet, and Su Xin handed Guo Haoran the Ms. ESSE cigarette.Guo Haoran had some bad premonition in his heart, he glanced at the wooden door of the toilet, it was firmly closed.

Guo Haoran quickly woke up the other four people, and when they saw the situation in the house, they all fell into hopeless panic.After Guo Haoran pointed to the closed wooden door of the toilet, they realized that Su Xin might still be in the toilet.

Walking to the toilet door, Guo Haoran pushed the door open.The door didn't budge; it was locked from the inside.Guo Haoran slammed on the door and called Su Xin's name loudly, but there was no sound inside.

Wang Yang and Guo Haoran kicked hard at the wooden door of the toilet at the same time, exhausting all their strength. After a bang, the door opened.

The Yuba in the toilet was turned on, and it was as warm as summer inside.

And Su Xin sat on the toilet, her eyes wide open, a trace of bright red blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, her complexion was as pale as paper.Guo Haoran took a step forward, stretched out his fingers to breathe in front of Su Xin's nose, and then said dejectedly: "She is dead, she is already dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xin's body suddenly tilted and fell to the ground, with blood dripping from the trouser legs.Guo Haoran let out an exclamation, and only then did he realize that Su Xin's entire right calf and thigh were gone, and blood was splashing out from the base of the thigh, turning the white tiles of the toilet red.

"Old Guo, look--" Wang Yang suddenly yelled loudly, pointing at the mirror in the toilet with trembling hands.

Guo Haoran looked sideways, and saw three lines of words on the mirror: "The place where dead bodies are important, please do not enter. I am a gust of wind, nothing can stop me. The next one is you." The words were written with lipstick, bright red, Just like blood.

"The murderer is a gust of wind..." Wang Yang murmured, "The toilet is locked from the inside with a bolt, and it cannot be opened from the outside, but Su Xin died inside—could it be that the murderer was really wandering in the corpse village?" wronged soul?"
"Don't scare me!" Guo Haoran interrupted Wang Yang loudly and said, "Judging from the scene, this is an undoubted secret room murder. However, in this world, it is impossible to have an impeccable secret room case. There's a rationale for everything."
Wang Yang seemed to think of something, he looked at the words written in lipstick on the mirror, and then squatted down to take a closer look at Su Xin's face.He stood up and walked out of the toilet.Wang Yang looked around the three restless ladies present, and then said: "As you guessed, Su Xin died, in a closed toilet that was closed from the inside." As soon as he finished speaking, the three ladies sent out messages at the same time. She screamed, and Ye Mei was so frightened that she burst into tears again.

Wang Yang paused and said, "However, I now have a new suspect. The murderer may still be among the five of us."
"What do you mean? You mean the murderer is among us?" Guo Haoran, who followed him out of the toilet, asked loudly.

Wang Yang nodded, and said, "Yes, the murderer is in this room, and I already know who it is." He glanced around at everyone present, then slowly raised his arm, pointing his finger at the murderer in the room. One person - Lianzi.

"Yes, it's you! Lian Zi! You are the murderer.

"Nonsense! What evidence do you have?" Lianzi retorted sharply.

Wang Yang led everyone into the toilet, pointed to the words written in lipstick on the mirror, and then pointed to Su Xin's body, and said, "Look, Su Xin's lipstick is rose red, and the words on the mirror are bright red, which means These words were not written with Su Xin's lipstick at all. Among the three of you, only Lian Zi's lips are painted with bright red lipstick! So -- Lian Zi, you are the murderer.

"Your reasoning is too far-fetched. Yes, my lipstick is bright red, but I put it in my satchel. It should still be there now. If you don't believe me, I will show it to you." Lian Zi went back to the house , took out her satchel, but when she opened it, she immediately held her head and yelled loudly: "My lipstick was stolen! It must have been stolen by the murderer, and the murderer wanted to set the blame on me!"
Guo Haoran patted Wang Yang's shoulder and said, "Young man, don't make a decision too early. What Lianzi said makes sense. It is indeed possible that the murderer stole his lipstick and wanted to blame her. Think about it, if She is really a murderer, how could she be so stupid as to use her own lipstick to leave clues? The murderer we are going to deal with is a guy with an amazing IQ, and he will never make such a mistake. I still tend to think that the murderer is Li Shoulian, and he is the only suspect It is the biggest. Since he can add drugs to food and Indian incense, it is entirely possible for him to add drugs to Suxin's cigarettes."
"Then how did he achieve the murder in the secret room? Don't forget, Su Xin died in a toilet that was locked from the inside." Wang Yang asked back.

"He must have his own way, for example—" Guo Haoran is worthy of being a writer of suspense novels, and he made his own reasoning again.

When Su Xin finished going to the toilet, she would naturally open the door. When she opened the door, she found that everyone in the room had passed out on the ground. She must have panicked and didn't know what to do.But at this time Li Shoulian suddenly appeared, pushed Suxin into the toilet, and killed Suxin viciously.Then he went out of the toilet again, stole the bright red lipstick from Lianzi's satchel, and wrote inexplicable words on the mirror, trying to blame Lianzi.In the end, he used some method to arrange the toilet into a secret room, making everyone present think that Su Xin died at the hands of a ghost, which once again aroused the panic of the survivors.He just wanted to tease the remaining few people like a cat playing with a mouse.

After listening to Guo Haoran's words, Wang Yang curled his lips and said, "You still haven't said the most important point—how did Li Shoulian arrange the toilet into a secret room?"
Guo Haoran buckled the toilet door backwards and let Wang Yang touch the latch on the back of the toilet door with his fingers. The latch was covered with dense black and brown ants.Guo Haoran asked Wang Yang to put his finger into his mouth again, Wang Yang did so with doubts, and looked at Guo Haoran in confusion.

"What's the smell of your fingers? Have you tasted it?" Guo Haoran asked with a smile.

"It smells like strawberries." Wang Yang replied hesitantly.

"That's right, it smells like strawberries, and there's only one thing in the Hongmen Hotel that smells like strawberries—the ice cream in the refrigerator on the first floor! When Li Shoulian killed Su Xin, he put ice cream on the pin. When the ice cream melted, , the latch returned to its original position, and just closed the door from the inside, creating a secret room layout." Guo Haoran slowly explained his reasoning, and when he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows triumphantly.He saw the look of admiration in Ye Mei's eyes, which made him feel very useful.

"Awesome! Teacher Guo is really amazing!" Wang Yang sighed, and he couldn't help asking again, "How did you reason it out? I never thought of such a way."
"The first thing that aroused my suspicion was the Yuba that was turned on in the toilet. In this weather, although it's getting colder, I don't need to turn on the Yuba when I go to the toilet, and I don't want to take a shower. When I saw that the plug was covered with The densely packed ants, big and small, I understand. The ants are attracted by the sweetness, and the Yuba is to melt the frozen things as soon as possible. Adding the two together, I made such an inference. Fortunately, it is plugged in It smells like strawberry ice cream, just enough to prove my reasoning right."
Guo Haoran waved his fist and said loudly: "Li Shoulian, you want us to think that ghosts are committing the crime, you are delusional! Sooner or later, I will find you out and beat you to ashes, and let you know how powerful we are!"
However, no matter how much he roared, only silence answered him.Don't forget, there is a sentence written on the mirror at the end: "The next one is you".Who knows who Li Shoulian's next target will be.

He hid in the dark, perhaps smiling sullenly, pointing at the remaining five people, choosing the next person he wanted to kill.

Who will be the next victim?
