Card Room

Chapter 497

Ren Yuan said, "Actually, after most of the gangsters died on the mountain, the town was calm for several days. Many people who survived went out to exchange food during the day, and some people went to the woods outside to find food. Relying on wild grasses and wild fruits to continue life. Unexpectedly, some of the remaining people were frustrated and mad, and they began to catch people and eat human flesh!"

Ye Qi carefully sorted out the timeline of the story he told and concluded, "That is to say, when the famine started, a group of robbers appeared in Qingfeng Town and broke into the house to rob the gold and silver treasures. Those people went to the mountains outside the woods. A bandit village was built, and as a result, the bandit was in civil strife. Someone killed his companion and ran on the road with treasure. Then again, a hound organization appeared in the town?"

Ren Yuan nodded and said, "This is it."

Ye Qi glanced at Shao Qingge and asked in his mind, "Is it the same group of people?"

Shao Qingge said, "Are you saying that the one who killed his companion and ran fortune was the same group of people who founded the hound organization?"

Ye Qi carefully analyzed and said, "Robbery is in the front, people are caught and people are eaten. Obviously, those who robbed the treasures are unbalanced due to the stolen goods. Several cruel people simply killed their companions and swallowed a lot of money. But Now there is famine everywhere. They run away with money and go to other places. They may also be snatched away by bandits from other places. It is better to go back to the town for safety. After all, they have been living in their hometown for many years. Know best."

Shao Qingge carefully thought about Ye Qi’s words and agreed that “it makes sense. In such a troubled world, it is actually dangerous to run away with money. On the contrary, people in Qingfeng Town are familiar with them, knowing what is not easy to mess with and what is possible. The soft persimmons squeezed casually. So, they came here with money to bully the old and weak women and children who could not resist."

Ye Qidao "This can also explain why they are wearing masks. After all, it’s not a good thing to live by eating people, and it will affect the reputation of future generations. With a large treasure in their hands, they can take off their masks when the famine passes. , Transformed into a local rich man with a head and a face."

If this is the case, the perpetrator has a very deep mind. Perhaps from the moment when he took several brothers to the robbery from the beginning, he planned a retreat for himself.

Thinking of this, Ye Qi looked at Ren Yuan and asked, "Brother Ren, when you smashed your noodle shop and robbed the silver and silver people in your shop, did you also wear a mask?"

Ren Yuan froze, "How do you know?"

Ye Qi knew it, and continued to ask, "I guess. I was masked during the robbery. Are you afraid of being recognized by you? These people must be acquaintances in your town. By the way, the masks they wear, and the people of the hound organization Is the same mask worn?"

Ren Yuan was very impressed with these people, and immediately shook his head, "It's different. The robbers were all masked with black kerchiefs; and those who caught people that night wore black ghost masks, and there were some strange things on them. Pattern."

Shao Qingge raised his eyebrows and said, "Grimace mask? Can you tell who is it?"

Ren Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's sold everywhere during the Mid-Yuan Festival. Anyone can buy it. I don't know who these people are just by looking at the masks, and I don't know the sound well. It must be that they deliberately lowered their voices and made people Can't hear clearly."

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge glanced at each other and continued to communicate with heart and soul.

Shao Qingge said, "If your guess is correct, then these people are quite smart and deliberately put on different masks, so that the residents of the town mistakenly believe that the robbery gang and the later hound organization are not the same group of people."

Ye Qidao said, "I don't think there will be too many people in this'Hound Dog' team. After all, I have swallowed so many treasures. If there are too many people, it is not easy to allocate. Moreover, normal people cannot do such things as eating human flesh. Maybe, they are a few friends whose relationship is usually strong, and after consultation, they act together in unison."

Shao Qingge thinks so: "Why don't we go and explore this organization in person after dark?"

Ye Qi didn't directly agree. He was silent for a moment, and wondered, "There is a question, how long can we stay in the world twenty years ago? Will it be sent back after dark or dawn, or will we stay here forever? ?"

Shao Qingge was stunned by Ye Qi's question-he ignored this key.

I remember at that time, Xiao Lou arranged three teams to split up. Xiao Lou led the team to the ghost town at night, and Nine Brothers led the team to the woods to intercept the possible murderer. He and Ye Qi waited at the gate of the town to send at any time. Xiao Lou will also Two Tao Yuanming cards were given to him so as not to send the skill to cool down.

However, after coming out of Taohuayuan, he and Yeqi came to the world 20 years ago.

Time is completely messed up, the team's voice headset is still in the ear, but never heard the voice from teammates.

How should they go back to join Xiao Lou? Is it still possible?

Shao Qingge frowned slightly, saying, "Well, all doubts have to wait tonight at zero. This time the room seems to be changing at the moment of day and night. After the zero, if we are not sent back, then explain... …We are likely to be left twenty years ago."

Ye Qi was a little stunned. "But in this case, how should we contact Professor Xiao?"

Shao Qingge was helpless. "I didn't think of a good idea. I watched while walking. I first checked the matter of the hound organization and said it."

This can only be done, in case they can be sent back at zero, their worries are a bit redundant.

Ren Yuan found that the brothers began to be in a daze in silence, and thought that the two were scared, so they coughed and comforted, "The two, this matter is indeed terrifying, but don’t worry too much, I took your Jewelry, I will definitely help you. I have a way. The three of us are absolutely hungry."

Ye Qi glanced at the food on the ground and said, "You can eat these sweet potatoes for several months by yourself, and if you are our brother, you can only eat them for a month? Do you have any other way to get them?"

Ren Yuan nodded. "There is a place to find food in the woods outside the town."

Ye Qi pretended to be grateful, "Brother Ren, then please."

After dark, Ren Yuan greeted the two to act together.

He was wearing an old clothes with indistinct colors, and then found some mud and wiped his face, weeded some weeds in his hair, and then sneaked out of the cave with Ye Qi and Shao Qingge.

To avoid being suspected by him, Ye Qi and Shao Qingge did not use displacement cards. They followed him all the way, cat-waisted, walking forward against the wall lightly and lightly. About half an hour, the three people walked out of Qingfeng Town.

The moon hangs high in the sky, and there are only three people's breathing and footsteps around.

Through the moonlight, Ren Yuan led the two into the woods.

The trees in the forest have already dried up. It should be winter in the season. The cold wind was biting, and Ye Qi was trembling with his teeth frozen. Shao Qingge gently took his hand and asked "Is it cold?"

Ye Qidao said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Compared with the people who are hungry and cold, the two of them are at least not hungry, and they have several layers of clothing.

A moment later, Ren Yuandao "is in front."

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge followed him forward and found that it was a cliff. Ye Qi looked up and saw the mountain when he first entered the K-room. I remember that during the rainy night at that time, the mass graves on the top of the mountain suddenly had a corpse change. Numerous zombies crawled out of the grave and forced them to the cliff.

The cliffs are bottomless and they have no way back. Finally, Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang flew down the mountain on Suzaku, found a safe place, and directly transported everyone away from Taohuayuan. The next day, when Nine Brothers went to investigate, they found that there was a forest under the cliff of this mountain, and a vine had been hanging down from the top of the mountain.

According to Xiao Lou's speculation, the murderer probably depended on this vine to climb the mountain.

Now, in front of Ye Qi and Shao Qingge, this cliff appears.

There is one more...

Thick and long vines.

I don’t know if the cold wind was too biting. Ye Qi and Shao Qingge suddenly felt the blood cold all over the body, as if a large pot of cold water had been splashed in the cold winter.

Ren Yuan knew this place.

He even crawled up the vine slowly.

Ye Qi shivered violently and said in his mind, "General Shao, would you give the sapphire necklace to the murderer again!"

Shao Qingge "..."

At that time in the Q room, Shao Qingge gave the sapphire necklace to Xiao Lou's sister Xiao Rou. The result finally confirmed that Xiao Rou was also a copy person and an accomplice to the big boss behind the scenes.

He doesn’t have such bad luck. He sent the props with "good feeling" to the boss twice, right?

At this moment, Ren Yuan turned around and grinned, "Don't be stunned, hurry up with me."

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge "............"

Chapter 497

After the four of Lu Jiuchuan returned to the inn, Chu Huaying offered to propose: "We have too few clues for Xiao Lou. Those who saw Li Gui in those five nights were just suspicious, but there was no evidence to prove whether they were related to the murderer. , Still have to continue to stare at the line of Qin Feng, the mayor's performance has been very strange."

Gui Yuanzhang asked, "Hua Ying, do you want to follow him?"

Chu Huaying nodded and said decisively, "My physical fitness has been strengthened by the card. Even without the help of the invisibility cloak, I can follow him silently without being noticed."

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said, "Of course I can rest assured of Huaying's tracking ability. The clue to tracking Qin Feng will be given to you."

Chu Huaying "Go, I will act when it's dark."

Lu Jiuchuan looked at Tang Ci and lowered his voice, "Has the drone over Zhao's house set up?"

"Well, the person who sorted the hall for the Zhao family should appear soon."

Lu Jiuchuan said, "There is another person who needs to pay attention. The woman who was crying at the Chen family today said that her sister had a baby and she came to visit. Qin Feng did not know her and asked if she came from a foreign country. Perhaps, we can Found some clues about her sister, that is, Mrs. Chen Yu from her?"

Gui Yuanzhang said, "This person is handed over to me. I just saw her just staying in Fulai Inn."

Tang Ci said, "Then the five remaining eyewitnesses of Li Gui, let me and Jiu Ge investigate."

Everyone assigned the task.

At night, the four acted separately.

Chu Huaying flew to Qin Feng's residence like a ghost, silently climbing up the roof.

The lamp was lit in the study, Qin Feng was looking at the roster he wrote with candlelight, and his face looked thoughtful. I don't know how long, he actually maintained this action, statue-like motionless.

Chu Huaying also waited patiently on the roof.

Finally, Qin Feng stood up, frowned and blew out the candle, put on a coat and turned to go out.

It was late at night, most people had fallen asleep, the town was very quiet, and occasionally some crickets could be heard. Qin Feng deliberately lightened his footsteps and walked quickly towards the southeast of the town. Chu Huaying followed him like a ghost.

What surprised Chu Huaying was that he actually walked to the door of the shop where Xue Ersao sold tofu.

He seemed to hesitate, pacing back and forth at the door.

Chu Huaying wondered-when inquiring around the town today, Xue Ersao told her that she saw Li Gui in person last night. Therefore, Chu Huaying also specially listened to the neighbors talking about this matter, knowing this Xue Ersao married Master Xue's second husband and her husband died of illness within a few days. She became a widow and supported the tofu shop alone.

Qin Feng came to Xue Ersao's door in the middle of the night. Do they have an impure relationship?

Chu Huaying concentrated on the door and continued to stare at the door.

After a moment, Qin Feng seemed determined to go forward and gently buckled the door lock.

A yellow candlelight lit up in the house, and a thin woman with a cloak opened the door. The soft moonlight shone on her face, making her face pale, but the woman's eyes were beautiful, and her facial features were very beautiful, especially Those eyes, lined with fair skin, were extremely dark and bright.

She saw the person in front of her and chuckled, "I guessed you. Why, come to me to investigate in the middle of the night?"

Qin Feng looked around for a while. "Can you go in and say?"

Xue Ersao said, "My husband is no longer here. Is it appropriate for you to enter my house in the middle of the night?"

Qin Feng coughed and said seriously, "I have something to ask you."

Xue Ersao opened the door with a smile, Qin Feng entered the house, she locked the door from the inside.

Chu Huaying immediately flew on the tree, jumped, and landed lightly on the roof, opened a tile, and looked into the house.

Qin Feng sat on the guest seat, Xue Ersao poured him a cup of tea, he did not drink, looked at each other, lowered his voice and asked, "I'm coming, I just want to ask you a word."

Xue Ersao still has a smile on her face, "Is it about Li Gui?"

"Well. Last night, five people said that they saw Li Gui with their own eyes. I remember clearly that there was only one thunder after the rain stopped. You said that when Li Gui appeared, it was thundering in the sky. Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. I was so scared that my legs were soft and I hurried back to the house."

"Uncle Liu, Zhang Chengyu, and Lin Yueran also said that when they saw thunder, they saw Li Gui. The four of you, living in different locations in the east, south, west, and north of the town, how could you see Li Gui at the same time when you thunder?"

"Really? They also saw it?" Xue Ersao pretended to be surprised. "Li Gui can float around, I don't know what happened, maybe she can appear in many places at the same time?"

Qin Feng stared at her deeply. "Do you know that Mr. Liu's ears are bad and he often hears wrong? He lives nearest to the Zhao family. Last night, when Miss Zhao's second married, she was put on the street A string of firecrackers, will he misinterpret the sound of firecrackers as thunder?"

He paused and said slowly, "I have asked Zhang and Lin that afternoon, they don't seem to be lying, and Brother Lin's son Doudou also said that when the ghost appeared, it was thundering, and children were even less likely Lie. So..."

The woman's face changed, she smiled and said coldly, "Do you suspect that I am lying?"

Qin Feng sighed lightly and looked at her with complicated eyes, "Ningshuang, we grew up together. Can't you tell a truth in front of me?"

The woman said lightly, "Han Ningshuang is already dead, don't call me that."

Qin Feng was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, Xue Ersao. Last night, it wasn't Li Gui's desperation at all... You're playing a ghost as a scary girl, right?"

There was a hint of sarcasm on the lips of the woman. "You look too high on me. How can I fly around in the sky?"

Qin Feng said, "However, you will make kites-white kites."

woman"…………"

Chu Huaying was hiding on the roof, listening to the conversation between the two, surprised in his heart.

First, Qin Feng and Xue Ersao have known each other since childhood, and Qin Feng found loopholes in the five people's descriptions of Li Gui, and finally confirmed that Xue Ersao was lying.

Second, Xue Ersao, whose real name is Han Ningshuang, can make a kite. She is likely to make a white kite, put the kite on the woman's white coat, cover it with black hair, and fake the appearance of a ghost, then use the wind to put the kite into the sky , People mistakenly believe that "the ghost is floating in the sky".

And she herself, pretending to be one of the terrified witnesses, actually committed murder in secret...

The trajectory of her movement is what the witnesses in the town saw when they saw the "ghost".

The first thing I saw was Mr. Liu who lived nearby. He misunderstood the sound of firecrackers when Miss Zhao was married as thunder.

The second thing I saw was the proprietress in the center of the town. She did not hear the thunder.

The third one saw Zhang and Lin, who lived in the west and north of Qingfeng Town. When Xue Ersao took the kite to the northwest, a thunder rang out in the sky. In the northwest direction, which is the closest to the exit of the town, she threw away the kite and left the town with the greeting team.

However, she ignored the details of the thunder. Uncle Liu first said, "I saw a female ghost while thundering." She followed closely. She wanted to reduce her suspicion, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but was demolished by Qin Feng. .

Xue Ersao was silent for a long time before she smiled and said, "Do you think that I have such a great ability to let the twenty or more people of the Zhao and Chen families disappear overnight?"

Qin Feng shook his head. "I'm not sure. We separated when we were 18 years old. I don't even know where you went and what you did in the next few years."

A painful expression flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head slightly, pressed his throat and said, "I went back to Qingfeng Town just to wait for you. I thought you might be able to go home and take a look, so that I can find you. But, I didn’t expect that Xue Zhao and Mrs. Xue, who he married from a foreign country, were waiting for me.”

There was silence in the room.

Moments later, Xue Ersao sighed and said, "Xue Zhao saved my life. I married him to repay his kindness. At that time, I didn't know that he was from Qingfeng Town. If I knew, I would never follow He returned to this sad place." She paused before whispering, "I thought you died long ago."

Qin Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "I was also saved by well-meaning people."

The house fell silent again, and both seemed to be in memory.

A lot of information was blurred in their conversation, but it was certain that they knew each other young. Moreover, Qin Feng has always been unmarried, and many matchmakers broke through his door and told him that he was rejected by him. The person he was waiting for was the Xue Ersao in front of him, formerly known as Han Ningshuang.

The light in the room was dim, and the shadows of the two cast on the wall and shook gently.

Qin Feng stared blankly at the shadow on the wall, Han Ningshuang used a bamboo stick to dial the wick, and said blankly, "For the sake of our acquaintances, I can tell you that the Zhao family and Chen People at home are deserving of sins. Don’t stop investigating. You should not forget, how did they treat mother-in-law?"

Qin Feng's face was pale, and he did not reply.

Han Ningshuang said one by one: "They chopped down her mother-in-law's hands and cooked them in a pan; chopped her legs into mincemeat and cut off her ears to drink wine..."

Qin Feng said sharply, "Stop talking!"

Han Ningshuang stopped to describe and looked cold.

Qin Feng stood up dejectedly and said, "I hate them too! But, those who are **** dead are dead, and they are not as guilty as their wives and children. The descendants of the Zhao and Chen families were as old as we were. What?"

Han Ningshuang sneered, "The children didn't survive after eating the mother-in-law's meat? Why can't they let the ancestors do it?"

Qin Feng "..."

Han Ningshuang said, "Blood debts and blood repayment, are justified. Qin Feng, I advise you not to investigate anymore, otherwise, I might do it for you." She paused and said, "It's not too early, you should go back. Come to my place and gossip when someone sees it."

Qin Feng stood up ugly, took two steps and turned back, "Where did you take those people?"

Han Ningshuang sneered, "I won't tell you. Of course, you can expose me tomorrow in the face of everyone, saying that I flew a kite and played ghosts on the night of July 14th, saying that I killed Zhao's family and Chen's family. More than ten people, and then according to the rules left by the ancestors, tied me to a wooden frame and burned alive."

Qin Feng's face was blue and white for a while. "You are stubborn! You are killing innocent people, what is the difference from those beasts? Really when I can't bear to expose you?"

Han Ningshuang turned around, leaving him with a head, and ignored him.

Qin Feng fell out of the door in despair.

Chu Huaying looked at this scene on the roof and didn't know what to say. She followed Qin Feng back home and found that Qin Feng was sitting at the table, picking up a brush, stained with red paint, and punching all the names on the roster one by one.

Qin Feng blew out the candle and slept with his clothes. Chu Huaying flew to the street next to him, held down the headset, and quickly told Lu Jiuchuan all the information he saw.

After listening, Lu Jiuchuan was startled. "Could Han Ningshuang be the murderer?"

Tang said, "The so-called Li Gui was originally a white kite she flew. That is to say, during the famine that year, the "mother-in-law" in her mouth was caught by the hound organization and tortured to death. She and Qin Feng should be raised by mother-in-law The older child was fortunate to escape from Qingfeng Town, but after a few years, the two were separated somehow."

Lu Jiuchuan speculated along Tang Ci's words: "Qin Feng likes her and returns to the town to wait for her. She was rescued by a young man named Xue Zhao, married Xue Zhao and became Xue Ersao. Back to Qingfeng Town, to the town The people on the road launched a crazy revenge?"

"I remember capturing the data of everyone in the town in the drone." Tang Ci opened the drone and glanced. "According to Xue Ersao's age, she was only 9 years old when the famine occurred 20 years ago, the zodiac. For... the tiger."

On the drum surface of the rattle, there is a small tiger.
