Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 231 Funeral (9)-Rumors

Complaints come after complaints, Zhao Ruru still completed the task of picking up ashes seriously, and ran to the nearest safe room to collect a relatively clean cloth.

She wiped the stone table clean smoothly, and the gray and white wall powder she collected was piled together, and Zhao Yijiu pinched a little of it over.

Yu Xing pointed to the door: "Let's start painting from here."

 In fact, this requirement is a bit overwhelming. You have only walked the road once, so it is good if you can remember it. You also have to remember the surrounding environment, which basically not many people can do.

But since Zhao Yijiu himself said it was okay, Yu Xingzhi had no psychological burden at all when he called him up - Brother Jiu is not an ordinary person, Brother Jiu is a great evil!

Perhaps due to his unusual fighting talent and sensitivity to dark environments, Zhao Yijiu can quickly adapt to the environment in any place, thereby ensuring that he is in a safe position, so when he draws the map at this moment, except...

 Other than the lines, which are a bit ugly, in terms of accuracy, it should be pretty good.

Gradually, a house plan with a generally rectangular frame appeared on the stone table. The gray powder was evenly adhered to it. Fortunately, the wind was not strong and the lines would not be blown away.

“It looks like this is a big house with five in and five out.” Yu Xing admired.

He is familiar with this. Although he basically lived in the newly built small foreign-style building at home after studying abroad, he still occasionally went to the Yu family's former large yard to see it.

That yard... well, it's a little bigger than the one with five in and five out.

 In ancient times, the size of the courtyard was related to the rank of officials. Later, when some families declined, the house still existed and was passed down from generation to generation.

In the Republic of China, after the war, this kind of rules became more and more relaxed, and they were no longer as strict as they were at the beginning.

The Yu family was a large business family. They built Western-style buildings that wealthy families would build at that time, but the yard was abandoned and a few servants of the family were left to take care of it.

“Hmm.” Zhao Yijiu responded, his hands moving faster, while Zhao Ruru explained at the side.

"Look, we are now in the first courtyard. There should have been a screen wall here, but now it has decayed to the point where nothing can be seen. After the small round arch, there is the second courtyard. That's where I found Wine...Jiu Ge's." She pointed to the painted part and then pointed to the back.

"Behind the second entrance is the third entrance. There is a door on the right that leads to the garden in the Yin Mansion. There are few people in white clothes there. I walked through the corridor in the garden. Although I didn't encounter any danger, I didn't get any clues. "Zhao Ruru pointed to the lump that Zhao Yijiu made casually, which represented the rockery. "The well is next to the rockery. The Abacus Ghost was there at the beginning, but it disappeared after giving us the clue."

 Zhao Yijiu finished spreading all the gray powder and the painting was almost done.

 A complete courtyard appeared, and the barrage was filled with wonder.

  [Cold wine is okay, your memory is so strong? ]

  [Envy, these three people are so reliable, I also want such teammates]

  [The painting is pretty good, it feels like a kindergartener’s graffiti]

　　[Damn hahahaha, isn’t it normal for people who use knives not to be able to draw?]

　　[Admirable and funny]

Zhao Yi drank some wine and entered the west room in the yard for the third time: "This is the housekeeper's room, surrounded by the servants' rooms, and the fourth one is the woodshed, kitchen and other places."

"Every time we enter the yard, there are people in white clothes crying in mourning. They lock themselves in the house, so there are several houses that we can't enter." Zhao Ruru poked the gray powder that made up the inaccessible houses. The hole is clear and distinct.

"Is that so..." Yu Xing had a general understanding of the situation in the Yin Zhai, and also had a reasonable plot regarding the plot.

If he guessed correctly, the task at this stage was not long. When the three deducers gathered, they had already reached the second half of the process, and it would be over soon.

 Just need to confirm a few more details, and he can start arranging follow-up actions.

Probably because the relief on his face was seen, Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Ruru asked: "Is there anything else I need to know?"

Yu Xing still remembered what Brother Jiu said just now. He touched peanuts and dates on the bed, thinking that he had entered the privation room by mistake.

He asked: "Brother Jiu woke up in the main room where he first entered, right?"

"How do you know?" Zhao Yijiu looked at him, confusion flashing in his eyes.

"...I guess, I don't think you want to know that the person you sleep with is actually the bride - ah, you let it slip, now you know." Looking at Brother Jiu's expression that instantly darkened, Yu Xing showed a particularly innocent look. His expression refused to admit that he did it on purpose.

Zhao Yijiu’s forehead twitched.

"In other words, the ghost who created this space is indeed obsessed with getting married!" Zhao Ruru interjected, "But it seems that in this mission stage, the proportion of funerals is much greater than that of marriages. What do you think? why is that?"

"The subjects are different." Yu Xing silently moved his buttocks, keeping himself a little further away from Zhao Yijiu, "The subject of the funeral is Boss Liu, and if it is a marriage, the subject should be the bride or groom. These two roles It should not appear during this mission phase."

Zhao Yijiu sneered: "Why are you sitting so far away? Can I still kill you?"

　　 Yu Xing: “I want to be warmer.”

 Zhao Yijiu: “…”

He gave up the idea of ​​quarreling with Yu Xing and changed the subject: "With the map, do you have a basis for your speculation?"

“What are you going to do when you enter the courtyard for the fifth time?” Yu Xing raised his chin slightly and gestured to the end of the Yin Mansion. Zhao Ruru also poked a hole there, which meant that there was also a man in white there.

 “Oh, I almost forgot, there is—is—” Zhao Ruru wanted to organize a vocabulary.

 Because there was only one main room in the fifth courtyard, which was the room where she and Zhao Yijiu opened the door a crack and saw many coffins lined up before going to the gate to pick up Yu Xing.

Later, she did her fortune-telling in the side room on the right side of the wing.

 “Mourning hall.” Zhao Yijiu said.

"Mourning hall?" Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, "Why does Zhao Ruru need to think about it for so long?" The girl was extremely aggrieved: "It's okay to call it a mourning hall, but there are many coffins in it, as well as portraits, as well as mourning people in white. The most. But I have never seen a mourning hall set directly in the backyard..."

"...That's it." Yu Xing nodded, "Then I probably know."

 The ears of Zhao Ruru and the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly became pricked.

Forget about the ghost alley, at least he experienced it, what about the haunted house? He didn't go anywhere and he knew it just by listening? ]

  [I would like to hear what he can say]

  [To be honest, I listened carefully, but I felt confused]

  [Lu Xiaorong: I guess Boss Liu married his daughter to a wealthy family, but the groom of that family must be a dead man. This space was created by Liu Xue. Because she hated her father, she created Zhou Xue and a paper man in this supernatural space. A representative wanted to enter the Yin Mansion to participate]

  [Lv Xiaorong: Why is there a word limit for this thing? ? ]

  [The boss continues! OMG, Liu Xue created Zhou Xue and paper figures? ]

 [Shocked, very frightened when I think about it, this is what Xing analyzed, Zhou Xue and the paper man are on the same side]

  [Lv Xiaorong: Zhou Xue represents the identity of the daughter who wants to enter the ghost house to attend her father's funeral, and the paper figure represents the identity that does not allow others to have any good intentions towards Liu Bingxian. At the same time, she hates the neighbors who only talk sarcastically behind her back but do not provide any help]

  [Lu Xiaorong: Therefore, the first phase of the mission is actually just a twisted world formed by Liu Xue’s resentment]

  [Big Brother 666]

  [Big Brother 666]

　　[Yanming: Fatty, what are you trying to do? Can’t you tell this by yourself? @lvxiaorong]

[I'm not human]

  [Why I can’t see it]

  [Thank you, it was taken into consideration]

  [Crying after being shown off by a boss]

 [Hahahayan always attacks teammates online]

 “First, let’s sort out a few facts that need attention.”

 The barrage was chattering, and finally Yu Xing's attention was drawn back after he spoke.

Yu Xing stretched out a finger.

"First, the abacus ghost is a relatively special existence. It seems that among the ghosts that the three of us met separately, it is the only one that can convey messages to the deducer in a complete ghost form. Others include paper figures, white-clothed ghosts People and the ghosts I met in the photo frame shop before are all acting according to a set rule, which is to catch people, cry, and keep repeating the conversations that have happened. "

“Second, the Abacus Ghost first appeared in the well, and I have reason to believe that it died in the well.”

"Third, the note in the butler's room revealed a piece of information. At the wedding banquet where the Yin Zhai groom and the bride got married, the Yin Zhai master treated the bride's relatives and friends with contempt, and even had a vague intention to do so. There must be a reason to support this. Phenomenon."

"Fourth, if the hand sticking out from the wardrobe belongs to a woman and is painted with red nail polish, then I guess she should be a symbol of the bride in a sense. However, one thing cannot be ignored. The bride's hand comes from Sticking out of the butler's closet."

 “Huh!?” Zhao Ruru couldn’t hold it back.

“…” Zhao Yijius expression changed, and it was obvious that he and Zhao Ruru had thought of the same possibility.

 No, why did the green grassland suddenly become green?

  [Good guy]

  [Big discovery! ]

  [Things started to go wrong]

　　[pleased to hear and see]

Yu Xing could tell at a glance where their thoughts were going: "No, what are you thinking about? Can you be more pure?"

Zhao Yijiu raised his hands silently, covering half of his face with his hands clasped together.

"Eh? Isn't it?" Zhao Ruru coughed, "Then what, go on."

　　 Yu Xing: “Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

"Fifth point, the bed where Brother Jiu is lying - don't glare at me, that bed is for the bride to sleep on. Just, when you woke up, didn't you see two men in white standing with their backs to you? But they don’t know that there is an extra person on the bed. This means that the man in white is standing here, usually not far or near the bed like a door god. Who are they? "

 Zhao Ruru: “Guard?”

"Yes, the bride needs to be guarded, which means she wants to run away and she is not willing to get married."

"Ah..." Zhao Rurui admired Yu Xing's information extraction method. Through details that ordinary people would most likely ignore, he could follow the clues and get an astonishing amount of information.

 In fact, this is Yu Xing’s most commonly used method of reasoning. He is used to the feeling of peeling off threads and peeling off cocoons, and finally forming an endless web.

 In Fuhua City, he was invited by Gao Changan and used the same method when interrogating Liu Ping at the police station.

"These five points are established facts, and the information given helps us analyze the larger situation. But in the final analysis, the theme of this stage should be funeral, and some speculations about the bride may not be used at this stage." Yu Xingxiao He smiled and said, "I think the biggest mystery is concentrated in the mourning hall."

“As you said, there are many coffins placed side by side in the mourning hall.”

He flexed his fingers, and the interest in his eyes became much stronger: "This is Liu Bingxian's funeral. A Liu Bingxian only needs one coffin. So who does the remaining coffin belong to?"

"Perhaps what we should think about most now is how many people died during this mission stage, who they were, how they died, and why...can they be buried in the Hell House?"

"Perhaps, if we figure out the cause of death of Liu Bingxian and the unknown group of people, we will naturally know where the door is. Otherwise, the Abacus Ghost... I think it is Liu Bingxian, so why should it tell us the information? Let us restore the truth of its death, and it will Tell us to export, this is equivalent exchange.”

　　[hiss…]

 [I gasped on the spot]

  [Sorry, cool air]

  [This is such a weird detail]

　　[Yes, except Boss Liu, who are the people lying in the coffin? ]

 [It’s really a pleasure to listen to a handsome guy’s reasoning...]

  [Remember Xing’s face, this is a logic monster that cannot be messed with]

"...So, so..." Zhao Ruru felt a chill behind her back. Because of the funeral, she always thought that only one person died, not counting the shopkeepers in the ghost alley, because no matter what, the shopkeepers were not qualified to be buried in the ghost house. .

“So, so many people died in the Yin Mansion alone??” She looked at Zhao Yijiu suddenly, “Lengjiu, did you count how many coffins there were in total?”

Zhao Yijiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't have time. I was afraid I would be discovered by someone inside if I looked a little longer."

Yu Xingcong calmly said: "It doesn't matter, just count them one by one."

“It is known that Liu Bingxian died. The cause of death is unknown.”

"We pushed forward from the results, combined with the wedding in the ghost house and the discussions among the shopkeepers in the ghost alley, I came up with such a line."

"Liu Bingxian was originally one of the shopkeepers on the funeral street in the ghost alley. He seemed to be responsible for the supply of raw materials, because other shopkeepers would go to him to purchase goods. He had a daughter named Liu Xue. One day, no one died at Liu Bingxian's home. Under the premise, he ordered a portrait frame from a neighbor's shop. Not long after, a news began to spread in the funeral street - Liu Bingxian sold his daughter Liu Xue to a wealthy family nearby who had just died as a daughter-in-law for money! "

“You can imagine what this meant, so the neighbors began to scold Liu Bing for not being a human being, worse than a pig or a dog.”

"Then, Liu Xue bought a paper knife in the same store. She may have just escaped from the guards of the Yin Mansion. After buying the knife, she was taken back to the Yin Mansion, and then committed suicide."

“As a result, Liu Xue died and the cause of death was suicide.”

There’s probably one more chapter left. Let’s get up and read it tomorrow.
