absurd deduction game

See you here!

Zhao Ruru's heart rang with alarm bells, suspecting that this was the trap where the ghost asked them to help open the door! They had seen how cunning ghosts can be in the Song Mansion.

She tried to meet Yu Xing's eyes and make eye contact with Yu Xing.

Who would have thought that Yu Xing stepped forward and raised his hand to open the door for Aunt Zhang!

"Wait... eh?" Zhao Ruru's words were stuck in his throat. The next second, Yu Xing pushed open the tattered wooden courtyard door with one force.

The courtyard door is not locked at all.

The wooden bolt did not fall down at all. I am afraid that Aunt Zhang is a ghost, so it cannot be opened. If it were a living person, even a three-year-old child could push the door open with a little force.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, Aunt Zhang hurried in with a cane and a serious look on her wrinkled face.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li——"

"Are you ok?"

Zhao Ruru was stunned.

Yu Xing said softly: "Follow and take a look."

The two of them followed the aunt who was taking small steps into Widow Li's small courtyard.

This courtyard is completely different from the Song Mansion.

After entering the door, there is an open space used to feed chickens and ducks. There are several chicken coops on one side, and a small vegetable garden is opened in the green, where some vegetables are grown.

But it seems that the vegetables have not been grown well. Most of them are wilted and I am afraid they will not survive.

While listening to Aunt Zhang's increasingly frightening call, Zhao Ruru looked towards the chicken coop with some curiosity.

"Hey...Yu Xing, look."

She took a breath and tugged on Yu Xing's sleeve.

Yu Xing followed her hand and pointed towards it, frowning slightly.

Those cages were not empty, there was a chicken in each cage.

The reason for raising chickens in cages is that they are afraid that the chickens will run around and cannot be caught. It is precisely because of this that the chickens in the cages today break their legs and wings and cannot peck open the cage.

These chickens all starved to death in the cage.

The tilted chicken head made Yu Xing feel uncomfortable all over. In fact, he had a subtle fear of birds with sharp beaks like chickens. Although he was not afraid, he did dislike the approach of these things and did not like to see corpses.

In the past period of time, only actors could be ranked ahead of chickens on the list of things he hates.

The chickens are starving to death, the vegetables are drying out, and it seems like no one has been taking care of this yard for a while.

Zhao Ruru also thought of this possibility.

A vague feeling of badness arose in their hearts.

Aunt Zhang finally arrived in front of the house. She patted the door: "Xiao Li——"

"Xiao Li - are you okay?"

"Grandma Zhang."

Suddenly, a crisp little girl's voice sounded next to the house.

The two of them looked over together with Aunt Zhang, and saw a little girl hiding behind a pillar of the house, sticking her head out from behind a pile of firewood.

"Little Magnolia!" Seeing her, Aunt Zhang's face instantly broke into a kind smile, she squatted down and opened her hands, "Come, let Grandma Zhang hug her."

The little girl known as Xiao Magnolia stood still and looked at the two deducers who followed in with an emotionless look.

She has pale skin, delicate facial features, cute baby bump on her face, and her hair is tied into two little buns. No matter how you look at her, she is the most lovable child.

But this look in his eyes made people feel like they couldn't get closer to her.

"Ouch, did you scare Xiao Yulan? Don't be afraid. These are two kind people who helped Grandma Zhang open the door." Aunt Zhang didn't become blind at this time. She explained a few words and didn't care about Xiao Yulan. He stopped hugging her, straightened up and asked, "Where is your mother? Why don't you see her?"

Xiao Magnolia moved her lips and finally walked out from behind the firewood pile.

She was wrapped in exquisite clothes, and there was a feeling of effort and love poured into her whole body, which was incompatible with this dilapidated yard.

Xiao Yulan walked up to Aunt Zhang, raised her head, and said playfully: "Mom is in the house, she is sleeping."

"Grandma Zhang, do you want to come in and take a look?"

The moment she looked up, the dim moonlight illuminated the dark finger marks on Xiao Magnolia's neck.

Zhao Ruru took a step back.

Yu Xing moved his fingers and found that the clothes on his lower back were held by Zhao Ruru. Zhao Ruru stood behind him, writing on his back with his fingers from an angle where Aunt Zhang and Xiao Yulan could not see.

"She, is, resentment, spirit"

There is a big difference between ghosts and ghosts.

Like Aunt Zhang, even if she knew she was a ghost, she was still a ghost who could communicate peacefully until Aunt Zhang showed no intention to attack.

But some ghosts are different. Resentful spirits and evil ghosts, these existences that turn into ghosts after death with resentment, are born with extremely strong malice and aggression.

The aura exuding from Xiao Yulan's body was pure resentment. The warning bracelet sacrifice worn on Zhao Ruru's wrist had changed from normal temperature to extremely cold, and it stuck to her skin to warn her of the malicious spirit.

Yu Xing nodded without any trace.

In front of the house, Aunt Zhang was inexplicably stunned when faced with Xiao Yulan's question.

Then she repeatedly murmured to herself: "Come into the house and have a look... No, since your mother has already gone to bed, then you won't go in, you won't go in..."

This aunt is also strange.

He wanted to come in, but when he saw Widow Li right away, he backed away.

She didn't leave or enter the house. She just stood at the door, staring blankly at the door of the house.

Xiao Yulan said: "It's better to go in and take a look, Grandma Zhang."

"My mother misses you."

She turned her head and looked at Yu Xing and Zhao Ruru: "What about you? Do you want to see my mother?"

This is such a strange question.

Whose child would invite strangers into the house to watch while his mother is sleeping?

Yu Xing sighed: "Aunt Zhang, what do you think?"

Aunt Zhang hesitated for a long time, but finally her desire to see Xiao Li prevailed. She finally nodded: "Okay, let's go in and see Xiao Li."

Xiao Yulan had no expression on her face, walked to the door, stretched out her hand and pushed it open.

While pushing the door open, she said: "Mom, Aunt Zhang is here to see you."

crunch--

The old wooden door made a shrill scream.

The moonlight was able to seep in through the crack in the door.

A putrid smell wafted out along with a faint smell of blood.

The figures in the room were swaying, and a woman with drooping limbs was hanging on the beam with a dirty white silk around her neck. The old man with a droopy tongue welcomed them with his dull eyes.

"Xiao Li——" Aunt Zhang looked at this scene blankly.

She opened her mouth and stared for a long time, and suddenly she found a few shadows next to the chair where Xiao Li hung himself, and her eyes dropped little by little.

"Ouch!"

Aunt Zhang suddenly sat down on the ground, and her crutches rolled to her side.

Yu Xing and Zhao Ruru were facing the house, and as soon as the door opened, they had a panoramic view of the situation in the room.

How to describe it.

Zhao Ruru's pupils gradually narrowed and he clenched his fists with both hands. Yu Xing pursed his lips, walked forward with very light steps, and watched quietly.

There are three people in this old hut.

The first one is Widow Li.

The hanging Widow Li's clothes were in tatters, exposing a large area of ​​skin. The skin was covered with dense bruises, and there were traces of being beaten on her face.

She was barefoot, wearing only a torn undershirt, and was in a miserable state.

The second one is Aunt Zhang.

It was not Aunt Zhang who fell down outside the house, but Aunt Zhang who was lying on the ground in the house, with a hole in the back of her head and her body was hardened.

A candlestick rolled next to Aunt Zhang's head, stained with blood.

The third one is a man.

The man, with a pockmarked face, plain appearance and short stature, fell down closest to the door.

His upper body was naked, his legs were spread wide, and his lower body was covered in blood and flesh. His face was distorted with horror and extreme pain.

Although the situation is a bit confusing, anyone with some experience will know what is going on after just a quick glance.

Aunt Zhang said that she saw Wang Ermazi sneaking into Widow Li's house. Fortunately, she entered in time.

Was it stopped in time? Aunt Zhang didn't say anything.

Now it seems that Aunt Zhang may have gone in, and then Wang Ermazi, who was obsessed with lust and panic, hit her head with a candlestick. The warm-hearted aunt meddleed in her own business and died on the spot.

But she seemed to have forgotten all these. After the dead soul left the house, she only remained worried about Widow Li. She thought that it happened a few days ago and came to the door of Widow Li's house every night, but A figure on the wall is Wang Ermazi's friend, who won't let her in.

When she really came in, she subconsciously didn't want to see the miserable situation inside outside the house door, so she hesitated.

The marks on the bodies of Widow Li and Wang Ermazi were very clear.

Aunt Zhang failed to stop the insult. After knocking Aunt Zhang to death, Wang Ermazi did not stop, but still took possession of Widow Li. The fear and excitement of killing people, when he did it, he probably lost his mind. Not normal, Widow Li is absolutely miserable.

and then?

Who died first, Widow Li or Wang Ermazi?

No, the question should be whether Wang Ermazi was killed by Widow Li who committed suicide, or by the dead Xiao Yulan.

Yu Xing did not ignore the pinch marks on Xiao Yulan's neck.

Among the people present, only Wang Ermazi could strangle Xiao Yulan to death.

He was silent for two breaths, and under Xiao Yulan's gaze, he walked towards the pile of firewood where Xiao Yulan had hidden when he first appeared.

As soon as he walked around to the back, as expected, a small corpse was exposed in front of him.

The daughter whom Widow Li cherished died like this in a pile of dirty firewood. She was strangled and suffocated to death.

The faint blue in Yu Xing's eyes suddenly became stronger.

He used the ability in his eyes that he had not touched for a long time - psychic regression!

All the traces in the dilapidated courtyard gradually became clearer, and a little bit of Yin Qi was extracted from the completely stiff corpse and fell into his pupils.

Pictures began to appear before his eyes.

First, there was the scene where the sky quickly darkened.

As soon as it gets dark, people all over the city close their doors and settle down. The hustle and bustle on the street fades away like a tide and soon becomes quiet.

Widow Li was holding Little Magnolia in her arms and was about to go back to the house. Suddenly she remembered that the lanterns outside the yard had not been lit yet, so she turned back to look for candles.

Little Magnolia played by herself next to the pile of firewood.

For the people of Fengtou Town, they have a certain idea of ​​how long it will take for ghosts to appear after dark. The same is true for Widow Li, who is calm and unhurried.

At this moment, Wang Ermazi sneaked in over the wall.

The time just after dark is the favorite time for people who want to do bad things. Everyone has gone back to their houses and the ghost has not come out yet. No one will see him. If he becomes a witness, will any ghost come and kill him? , as long as he takes this time to force Widow Li back into the house and close the door, he will be happy that night.

And that's exactly what he did.

While Widow Li was looking for something in the house, he forced his way in and tried to do something wrong. Widow Li's screams were swallowed up in the night. At this moment, just before returning home, he saw Wang Er's pockmark climbing over the wall. Zhang hurried over. Aunt kicked the door open.

Because Widow Li had to light a lantern, the door was unlocked.

As soon as Aunt Zhang came in, she heard a small sound, yelled at the beast and rushed into the house.

Wang Ermazi was shocked. He took the risk to come at this time because he was afraid that others would see him. If Aunt Zhang stopped him, he would be arrested by the government at dawn!

And he's having fun.

All kinds of strange emotions fermented in his mind at the same time, successfully destroying his brain. He gasped, and only one thought remained - she was just a smelly old woman, why should she ruin his good deeds!

In a moment of thought, Wang Ermazi picked up the candlestick next to him and hit Aunt Zhang on the head without any precautions, causing blood to flow like a pillar!

Aunt Zhang screamed and fell forward in an instant, lying straight on the ground.

Widow Li was stunned when she witnessed all this, and her subsequent struggle weakened, allowing Wang Ermazi to take over.

She was afraid, she was afraid that her daughter would also suffer this murder. She knew that Xiao Magnolia should be hiding behind the firewood pile outside now. Her innocence was gone. The most important thing was her daughter...

Wang Ermazi put on his pants.

After everything was over and he calmed down, he saw Aunt Zhang's body on the ground again, and suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back.

He killed Aunt Zhang! It's dark night now, Aunt Zhang won't turn into a ghost and come to find him!

Fortunately, it was quiet outside tonight. Wang Ermazi quietly opened the door and dragged Aunt Zhang's body, intending to put the body in the yard first, so that even if Aunt Zhang came back as a ghost, she would have to knock on the door if she wanted to kill him.

Just as he clapped his hands and was about to go back to the house to be gentle with Widow Li, he suddenly heard suppressed sobs.

Wang Ermazi's first reaction was that there was a ghost, but then he realized something was wrong because the sobbing was too childish. Then he suddenly had an idea and thought of Widow Li's daughter Xiao Yulan.

Damn it, just because he felt like something was missing, he didn’t see Xiao Magnolia when he came in today!

Wang Ermazi found the little girl hiding behind the firewood pile. Seeing that he was discovered, Xiao Yulan's cry could no longer be suppressed. She shouted in horror and anger, "Mom, baby, no matter how hard you suppress your emotions, you will burst out." It's quite noisy sometimes.

When Widow Li heard her daughter crying, she immediately screamed and begged Wang Ermazi not to do anything to her daughter.

This noise made Wang Erpazi even more panicked. After all, he not only molested Widow Li, but also killed someone! He cursed "Don't scream", his head was buzzing and his eyes were red.

He knew that he had pinched Xiao Yulan's throat. He just wanted Xiao Yulan to shut up, but when Widow Li stumbled out in tattered clothes and pushed him aside screaming, he realized that Xiao Yulan had stared at her. Looking at him, his chest stopped rising.

Wang Ermazi stumbled back to the house, and Widow Li held her daughter's body and cried bitterly, wailing incessantly.

After a while, she finally let go of her daughter, picked up the knife used to kill chickens in the yard, and kicked open the door of the house.

"mother."

In the room, the innocent and gloomy "Little Magnolia" turned around, and at her feet was the horrified corpse of Wang Ermazi.

Widow Li frantically stabbed the body's lower body many times. After she was exhausted, she looked at her "daughter" in the house and the daughter in the courtyard. Finally, she tore off a piece of fabric from her clothes and put it on the rafter.

……

Since this is the scene of the first crime, and both the murderer and the corpse are present, Yu Xing's recollection is very detailed, and he can even feel the character's emotions at that time from the images.

When the blue light in his eyes went out, he heard Xiao Yulan ask: "Does it look good?"

When he lowered his head, Xiao Magnolia was facing him quietly, with a hint of gloom and resentment on her pink and white dumpling-like face.

"My mother and Grandma Zhang, they died so miserably."

The little girl walked towards Yu Xing step by step, and the strange smell on her body gradually increased.

"I died miserably too."

By the time she arrived in front of Yu Xing, her face was already blue and purple, and the putrid smell on her body was nowhere to be seen.

"Grandma Zhang is back, but my mother is not back. She doesn't want me anymore." Xiao Yulan's face gradually became ferocious, "Did you outsiders take her away?"

"It's not us." When others saw Xiao Yulan's appearance, they were probably already running away in fear. Yu Xing actually squatted down, feeling the forcibly aroused fear in his heart while confronting Xiao Yulan. See.

Grandma Zhang turned into a ghost, and so did Little Magnolia. This seems to be a special rule in Fengtou Town. People must turn into ghosts after death?

Then Widow Li and Mazi Wang should have turned into ghosts, but for some unknown reason, Widow Li's ghost did not appear at home, making the resentful spirit Xiao Yulan feel abandoned.

He said warmly: "We haven't seen your mother either. She may have lost her way somewhere else? Little sister, do you need us to help you find your mother?"

Xiao Yulan grinned, the resentment in her eyes increasing instead of decreasing.

"I don't believe you."

"No living person is willing to help a dead person. If you want me to believe you, just become a dead person first, big brother."
