absurd deduction game

Chapter 21 He's in the coffin

There were only seven players left in the yard.

They sat down around the big table, starting from the vacant seats, in order: Wei Fan, Xiao Xuchen, Ju Lan, Yu Xing, Carlos, and two men.

The two men who looked alike looked at them and said, "Hello, we were abrupt at the entrance of the village. We just don't want innocent people to be harmed."

"Then you are quite self-righteous." Xiao Xuechen propped his chin, and his gaze towards the two men has eased a lot, "How is it, Feng Shui masters, it's really unlucky here?"

"It's true." Among the two men, the one in black looked around, "We are cousins, my name is Xu Hong, and my brother's name is Xu Yuan, we just received a request from someone to investigate His hometown is haunted."

Commissioned?

The corner of Yu Xing's mouth twitched, he felt that there was no need to ask, presumably this client's name was also Zhou Yongsheng...

Xu Hong went on to say: "Before we came, we looked at the feng shui layout here. The entrance to the village faces south, the mountains cover the sky, and the sun is only visible for a few hours a day. If you choose a cemetery, this place is not bad, but If it's a living person..."

He silently shut up, because the village chief had already come out of the kitchen.

The village chief smiled and sat in the vacant seat, and finally remembered to introduce himself: "My name is Zhou Facai, you can just call me the village chief. Everyone in our village is surnamed Zhou, and it's hard to tell if you call Brother Zhou."

Everyone responded in unison.

They chatted with the village chief, nothing more than sighing about how difficult it was to enter the mountain, the air in the mountain was good, etc., and by calling each other, Xu Hong and Xu Yuan were able to figure out the names of the other five people.

After chatting for about 10 minutes, Yu Xing saw that the time was almost up, so he decided to ask something useful.

"Village chief, I want to ask you a few things." Yu Xing looked at the enthusiastic village chief with big sincere eyes, and the trust in those eyes made the village chief's heart warm, and he said boldly, "Jun Housheng, what do you say! question?"

Others pricked up their ears.

Yu Xing: "This village...isn't it connected to the Internet? The signal is not very good. After I came, I couldn't make a phone call."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, our border is in the mountains, and the signal is not good, oh, this is not, it can also let the people from the city look up at the natural day in a few days!"

In other words, the signal has always been like this.

and so……

Where did Yu Xing and Carlos receive the private letter from Zhou Yongsheng?
You know, in the implanted memory, Yu Xing kept in touch with Zhou Yongsheng on his mobile phone until he got off the plane and walked to Guanjia Village.

Yu Xing threw another question: "Then, why don't people in the village come out for activities? It's just past the evening, and the villagers are resting so early."

"This, you are asking." The village chief slapped his thigh and lowered his voice mysteriously, "As the saying goes, there is a custom on this hilltop. In our village, we don't go out in the evening."

What custom is this?Xiao Xuechen's expression changed, and he exchanged glances with Wei Fan.

"When will you go out?" Carlos turned the little paper doll in his hand and asked if he didn't understand. He was very eager to learn.

"In a little while." The village chief looked up at the sky, laughed twice, the shadow hit his face, and actually made a square-faced middle-aged look a little gloomy, "Wait for the night, when the candles are lit, Everyone is going out."

...candles lit?

Yu Xing looked around at random. It was dark, but the village chief didn't turn on the lights. Could it be that there are no kerosene lamps in this village?It's too far behind...

"Village Chief, I'll ask you about someone else." He suppressed all kinds of speculations about the village, "Do you know where Zhou Yongsheng lives?"

"Oh? So you know Xiao Sheng!" the village chief wondered.

"Yes, yes, I'm... I'm his classmate!" Ju Lan, the little girl seemed to have lost her boyfriend, she was very positive, "Where is he, I want to play with him."

"Hahaha, Xiaosheng is a promising kid! He went to school in a big city, and when he comes back, his conversation is different. He often mentions something, what kind of creepy painter, etc. Hahaha I don't understand, I'm old, It's getting old." The village chief did not directly tell everyone where Zhou Yongsheng lived, but instead sighed with a broken mouth.

At this moment, a woman's voice sounded from the kitchen: "The meal is ready, Zhou Fa Cai, come and serve it!"

"Come on!" The village chief responded with a loud voice and was about to stand up. Xiao Xuechen immediately followed. When she saw it, she saw the slightly shy painter, the cheerful magician, and the less-spoken brother of the Fengshui masters. They all stood up together.

She smiled in her heart: It seems that she has the same idea... I want to go to see if the kitchen is normal. There are quite a lot of smart people in this game, which is good news!
"Village chief, it's not appropriate for us to eat for nothing here, let us help serve the dishes." She said to the village chief, and at the same time she walked towards the kitchen, not planning to give the village chief a chance to refuse.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." The village chief did not shy away, and went into the kitchen with a few people.

Yu Xing was at the back, the most convenient place to run back when an accident happened.

It was getting darker and darker. He followed the others to the door of the kitchen. There was a red light on the kitchen wall, reflecting the shadow of a woman. The shadow swayed from side to side and seemed to jump with the firelight.

This kitchen uses a wood stove.

At some point, sparks floated in the air, and the woman in the cloth with her hair rolled up, turned her back to the crowd, and was cleaning up the dishes.

Most of the firewood below was burned, and the heat was blowing, and the red light illuminated the whole kitchen.

Strangely, on the stove, a white candle was also lit.

The candle stood on a delicate plate of unknown material, the light was negligible, and I didn't know why.

As soon as Yu Xing saw the plate, the coolness swept up.

He was stunned for a moment, his expression remained the same, but he was surprised: it has been so long... His physical condition is difficult to be motivated by external forces, but in the short period of time after he became a deducer, there were two abnormalities! ?

Fortunately, the coolness came and went quickly this time, and it was not as violent as when the personality mask first appeared. He just trembled slightly for a while, and then suppressed the discomfort.

Yu Xing's face paled, and he quietly covered his heart. Fortunately, he stood at the end and no one noticed him.

But there is definitely something wrong with this plate!
Heh, his body is sensitive to some supernatural things, although it will bring pain, but... from another angle, it can be regarded as a hang-up, right?

Self-mockery is self-mockery. In order to see more clearly, Yu Xing dexterously squeezed to the front from the end.

There are seven dishes on the table. Although they are all home-cooked dishes, you can smell a fragrance from a distance, and the color is also beautiful, which makes your index finger move.

The plate on which the candles are placed is placed aside, so exquisite that it does not look like something that should appear in this small village. The corners are hollow and octagonal. The tears of the candle melted and dripped onto the plate, but they did not cool and solidify, but were like water droplets on the plate. Save.

"It's kind of interesting, this, I wonder if there's a chance to go along..." Such a thought appeared in his mind.

"Aunt, let's help you." When Yu Xing was thinking about this, Xiao Xuechen eagerly stepped forward to help carry the plate, the woman laughed and counted the chopsticks.

However, Yu Xing, who was paying attention to the woman's movements, narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous arc appeared at the end of his eyes.

No... He glanced at the movement of the woman's wrist, and his eyes flashed.

The woman's movements were too stiff, and why didn't she turn her head?

Don't go yet!
Seeing Xiao Xuchen passing by the figure next to him, he raised his hand subconsciously, and then hesitated for a moment.

This hesitation missed the best opportunity to hold people, and only vaguely touched the corner of Xiao Xuchen's clothes.

"Aunt, come, give it to me." Xiao Xuechen walked to the woman's side and reached out to pick up the bowl in the woman's hand. The next moment, the woman turned her head with a smile.

With a blue-black face and dry skin, the woman was like a dug up corpse, with a stiff face hanging on her face. She probably wanted to be kinder, but unfortunately it only added a terrifying smile. The nearest Xiao Xuchen suddenly confronted her. With such a face, his chest suddenly stagnated.

"Ah!!" She gave a short exclamation uncontrollably, and stepped back again and again, her back just hit Yu Xing's body, with a "bang", the hit was quite heavy.

"what?"

"Are you okay?"

Carlos and Xu Yuan stepped forward one after another.

"No, it's fine..." Xiao Xuechen quickly calmed down. She had seen the ghost, so she shouldn't react so much. The key is that she was too close to the ghost just now!

A few broken thoughts flew through her heart: Is this Te Meow dead!The village chief's wife is a corpse! ?wait, it's tough...

After the fright disappeared, she suddenly felt that the chest muscles of the person she bumped into were hard enough, and turned her head back with residual panic and a moment of surprise.

Unexpectedly, it was the beautiful young man who looked soft and weak—ah, is it the painter who refused to reveal his real name?
Yu Xing lowered his head silently, watching the face of this little sister Yu, who had just reached his chest, changed constantly, from panic to doubt, and then a suspicious blush rose...

He raised his hand.

Paled face.

Take a step back.

Covering his chest, he let out a slightly painful groan.

It's so hard to die, and he bumped into him just when his body was just out of shape. He just recovered and was hurt again, huh!

What's the point!

His body is now as brittle as glass slag, and basically "shatters" after a dozen hits. He really shouldn't avoid avoiding others to prevent others from falling. One thing to say, Xiao Xuchen's weight is heavier than he imagined...

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." Seeing his pale face, Xiao Xuechen couldn't help but doubt his life.

Is she so powerful?

Is it time to lose weight?
No, she shook her head, tossing the messy thoughts out of her head—the most important thing now is the village chief’s wife—

"What's the matter, isn't the little girl going to help me carry the bowl?" The woman in plain clothes turned her head completely at this moment, holding the dish in one hand and the plate with the candle in the other.

Looking at it this way, this is just an ordinary woman in her 30s. Although she is not good-looking, she is also quite normal.

Is it a hallucination just now?

"Yeah, quickly bring the dishes out." Xu Yuan observed his words, took the plate immediately, and gave a few winks to the following players to go out first.

Yu Xing raised his hand to wipe off a drop of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and glanced at the woman's hand holding the candle tray without a trace.

He didn't know if Carlos and Xu Yuan saw the woman's face just now, but he did.

That face, absolutely, does not belong to a living person!

The village chief didn't seem to see what the guests were thinking, so he happily took the plate and went out with the woman.

Yu Xing took a plate of scrambled eggs, took a breath to ease, and then walked out.

Wei Fan, Ju Lan, and Xu Hong, who stayed in the courtyard, didn't know what was going on, but they couldn't help but be vigilant when they saw their different expressions.

After setting up the dishes and tableware, and sitting in the previous position, Ju Lan, who didn't know anything, picked up the bowl full of white rice and continued to ask, "Village Chief, you didn't finish talking just now, where exactly does Zhou Yongsheng live?"

"Oh, yes, Xiaosheng..." The village chief looked at the woman who looked very kind and smiled, "He's in the coffin."
