: Chapter 118

Xie Chian closed his notebook and searched the room carefully.
It didn't take long for him to be swept by the system's forced sleepiness yesterday, and he had not had time for a comprehensive inspection.
It is daytime now, and the window is as dark as always. Cannot be opened, and there is no need to try to break. That is the border of the map.
Xie Chian inspected the entire room and found a newspaper under the bed.
The newspaper was in 2013. It is already very old, and most of the content is unclear.
A picture of a woman is pasted on the entertainment news section. The eyes have been blurred because of the age of the newspaper, but it can still be seen that she is a beauty.
The title is "A certain actress has been married into a wealthy family for many years."
The actress's name is also not clear, and can only barely identify the three points in the middle.
...It's not that Xia Qian marries Ma Jianhua.
The information found in this kind of copy will be collected by Xie Chi'an as clues, and may be used for unexpected purposes at some point.
Actress, San Dian Shui, and only Xia Qian is the only relevant person on the scene. It is hard not to remind people.
But the time is not right.
In 13 years, many years of hidden marriage, coupled with the oldness of this newspaper, you can see the news from many years ago. This actress has no more than thirty, and Xia Qian definitely does not seem to exceed twenty-five.
Of course, the current time in the copy is unknown. This is not necessarily 2020 in reality.
Xie Chian folded the newspaper and put it in the drawer of the bedside table.
There was an alarm clock and a photo frame on the bedside table, all clean.
The time shows that it is now eight o'clock in the morning.
Xie Chian picked up the photo frame. Inside was a group photo. Dozens of students in high school uniforms lined up in four rows and smiled at the camera. That school uniform is the same style that Cui Jinse wears.
Xie Chian saw Cui Jinnian in high school a few years younger than now in the crowd.
I just don't know why, everyone else is laughing, but the boy has a gloomy expression and is incompatible with the people around him.
He stared at the direction of the two girls in the front row, perhaps deliberately or accidentally.
One woman grew up very beautifully, the other was ugly. The two stood together, although they were adjacent to each other, they were deliberately separated by a short distance.
The relationship is not very good.
Xie Chian didn't pay much attention to these careful thoughts among the girls. After all, he didn't know these people in the photo except Cui Jinnian and had nothing to do with him.
He buckled the picture frame upside down on the cabinet, turned and went to the bathroom.
The bedroom has a separate toilet, flush toilet, towel rack, shower, and even toothpaste cups and other toiletries.
Just one thing is missing.
mirror.
Not to mention the mirror, there is nothing that can reflect light. Except for the knives and forks used for eating, it can give out a blurry image, but it is also basically invisible.
No one knows what they look like now.
It's not really what it looks like anyway.
-
Xie Chi'an didn't stay in the room long, but there was a very light knock on the door.
Xie Chian asked: "Who?"
"it's me."
It was Cui Jinnian's voice.
-
Cui Jinse opened the door, and Cui Jinnian stood at the door and stepped in quickly.
"Brother." Cui Jinse closed the door. "What's the matter?"
"I'm worried about you." Cui Jinnian said, "The door won't be locked, it's very dangerous. I'm afraid that someone will sneak in and do it to you... You must be defensive."
how about you? Are you the one I need to watch out for?
Cui Jinse didn't say this sentence. She sat on the bed and asked, "Did brother find anything in the room?"
"Yes. I also wanted to talk to you about this when I came here." Cui Jinnian took out a tattered newspaper from his pocket, "I found this."
That newspaper was really broken, worse than the one found under Cui Jinse's bed.
Cui Jinse found at least one photo and a few lines of information. Cui Jinnian could only see four characters clearly.
"Dangdang went to jail."
Looking at the content again, we can only know that it seems to be due to financial problems.
Then I can see nothing.
Cui Jinse: "How did it break like this?"
Cui Jinnian: "It was originally a footrest."
Cui Jinse: "...it's hard for you to find it."
"Although I don't know what it's useful for, it's always a text message." Cui Jinnian looked at the newspaper, "The kidnappers arranged a crime for each of us, which is definitely not a mess. This newspaper may be a clue that corresponds to someone in reality. This is what he has done in the past, this is his crime."
"Is it possible that Ma Jianhua was embezzled and accepted bribes because of money?" Cui Jinse casually gave a guess.
Cui Jinnian: "It's not impossible."
"Leave aside this, I also found something." Cui Jinse opened the frame on the bedside table, "Brother, what about you? What is your crime?"
Why is there a photo of your high school graduation here?
Cui Jinnian's expression suddenly became complicated: "...Sorry, Jinse, I can't tell you."
"Can't even I be trusted?"
"No, Jinse, I hope that in your heart, I'm still that perfect brother. But, I'm not perfect...Anyway, don't ask, okay?" Cui Jinnian implored.
Cui Jinse: "..."
Cui Jinse said: "Okay."
Cui Jinnian has been a little fidgeting since then, and left without sitting long. Before leaving, he only told Cui Jinse to be careful.
Cui Jinse obediently responded.
When the door closed, Xie Chian's expression faded.
He did not show Cui Jinnian the newspaper he found, he always guarded everyone.
And Cui Jinnian also has reservations about him.
No matter what kind of sibling relationship between the real Cui Jinnian and Cui Jinse, he and the player who played Cui Jinse have no family relationship.
Cui Jinnian stood outside the door, with his back to the door panel, and chuckled silently.
During the whole process of his conversation with Cui Jinse, the newspaper was in his pocket.
There is also a table knife.
-
The time points to twelve noon, the time for lunch.
There is enough food for eight people in the refrigerator in the kitchen for seven days, and there are slices of bread to resist hunger. There are many choices of beverages including red wine, boiled water and fruit juice.
Food is not the test of this level.
But there is still a problem-who will cook?
To make raw meat and lettuce mature food, you always need a chef.
This question does not need to be considered when everyone walks out of the room at noon.
-
"Wow, who has cooked the meal?" Su Ze hurriedly sat down at the table, "Thank you, thank you, you are such a good person."
The table is already full of dishes, with a tempting aroma, and the richness is not inferior to breakfast.
Su Ze couldn't wait to take out his fork and start eating: "I thought no one was cooking. I can't do it."
None of the others acted rashly.
The dishes on the table in the morning can also be understood as being made by the organizer. The organizers held this game, they would not think of killing them in the beginning.
This meal is different at noon.
Who knows which of the eight of them did it? Will there be any passive actions in the meal?
Xiu sat down in the morning seat, picked up the knife and fork slowly, did not eat, but first raised his eyes and asked: "Which kind snail girl or Mr. snail is it?"
No one answered.
Xia Qian complained: "No one claims it? Then I dare not eat it. Dear Xiu, can you help me test the poison?"
She sat down on the seat next to Xiu, tilted her head to look at him, very intimate.
Xiu glanced at her indifferently, and actually cut the meat on her plate and ate a bite: "It's not poisonous."
Xia Qian smiled beautifully: "Thank you dear."
The others had a chill.
What did the two of them stay in the same room all morning?
The crowd hasn't come yet. The white-collar Feng Wei did not come, and the social youth Hou Dongzi also stayed in the room.
Even if Su Ze and Xiudu were all the same after they started, the others would not dare to eat this food of unknown origin.
If the cooking person really wants to use his hands and feet, of course, it is impossible to move all the food on the plate-by accidentally killing two or more people, it will be the end of the game.
Therefore, it is only possible to choose two or one-choosing one is the most likely to start. Because people's seats at noon may not be according to the morning, random killings may be the most likely to bet on luck.
Su Ze and Xiu are okay, and the chances of them having something wrong are higher.
Of course, there is another possibility, all food is okay, and whether you can find poison or medicine right now is not certain. People who just fall into this situation will always speculate on others with the greatest malice.
Stupid kindness will only kill oneself.
-
Su Ze, Xiu, and Xia Qian ate without psychological burden. Cui Jinnian cut a piece of meat from his plate, tasted it, and it was all right, so he said to Cui Jinse: "I'll change it with you."
Cui Jinse glanced at him and agreed.
Ma Jianhua saw a toothache. Here is a little devil who only knows how to eat, a pair of dog men and women who are willing to try poisons, a pair of brothers and sisters with deep feelings.
He is different. He neither has the courage to fear death like Su Ze, nor does he have a lover and brother who can test poison for him.
Ma Jianhua reluctantly gave up the rich food on the plate and chose to go to the kitchen to get slices of bread.
He was the last to enter the house in the morning. He had seen the kitchen and knew that there were a few slices of bread there, and it was the least likely to be manipulated.
After all, bread slices can be eaten by anyone, and more than one person can eat it, no one dares to touch it. Killing the wrong person comes at a price.
Ma Jianhua went into the kitchen to pick up slices of bread, his expression was a bit wrong when he saw the basket where the tableware was stored.
He remembered that there were eight sets of knives and forks in the banquet hall in the morning and two in the kitchen, which were superfluous.
There are ten sets of tableware in total.
But now, there are also eight sets of knives and forks on the dining table, only one in the basket.
A pair of cutlery was taken away.
I hope he thinks too much. Tableware can kill people.
Ma Jianhua suddenly remembered that Su Ze had entered the house with a fork and cake this morning, which could explain why a fork was missing.
...But why is a knife missing?
When Ma Jianhua was puzzled, there was a scream outside.
Ma Jianhua hurried out: "What's the matter?"
Xia Qian Huarong paled, pointing to the room and trembling:
"Hou, Hou Dongzi is dead!"
