[Chapter 491, The Mystery of Qingfeng Town]

The day passed quickly, and the people Qin Feng sent to investigate gradually returned to the town.

However, no one could find the whereabouts of the missing persons. So many members of the Zhao and Chen families seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air overnight. The residents of the small town are talking about this incident, and the legend of "a ghost seeking his life" is becoming more and more bizarre. At night, the doors of every house are closed tightly, as if they are worried about encountering another evil ghost.

Tang Ci's drone has been placed at the Zhao family, but no useful clues were captured in the surveillance footage. The person who arranged the mourning hall for the Zhao family has obviously not shown up yet.

After nightfall, Lu Jiuchuan and four others secretly sneaked into Zhao's house and left clues in the same way as their predecessors.

Guiyuan Zhang spread a piece of paper on the table, picked up the brush, and asked, "How to write?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "First make it clear that we came to the world three years ago, and then write down the suspicious characters we found. As long as Xiao Lou and the others find this letter, they can follow the clues and continue the investigation." He looked at Tang He resigned and asked: "Xiao Tang, what doubts do you think need to be explained to Xiao Lou and the others?"

Tang Ci frowned and thought for a moment, then walked to Gui Yuanzhang and said calmly: "First, Zhao Zesui, the youngest daughter of the Zhao family, left the town after her sister got married on the night of July 14th and followed a masked man. The man had a private meeting and gave the other party a purse embroidered with lotus flowers; secondly, after his wife gave birth to the child, Chen Yu sneaked out of the town to burn paper for his father."

Gui Yuanzhang listened to him and quickly recorded it on paper.

Tang Ci continued: "Thirdly, the list of mayor Qin Feng was written only after the incident. Three years ago, there was no secret room or rattle in his study; fourthly, on the night of the incident, he saw Bai Yi with his own eyes. The evil people include Mr. Liu, the vegetable seller, Zhang Chengyu, the hunter, Qin Ruolan, the proprietress, Lin Yueran, the butcher, and Xue Ersao, the tofu seller."

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and patted Tang Ci on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Tang should be more careful. The murderer has been disguising himself as a ghost these years and continues to commit crimes, so he will definitely leave clues. I hope the clues we find will help Xiao Lou and the others' reasoning. help."

Guiyuan Zhang finished the letter quickly. His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and he was worthy of being a famous calligrapher.

After sealing the credit wax oil, Gui Yuanzhang asked: "Where can I hide it so that it is not easy for others to find and can be discovered as soon as possible by Xiao Lou and the others? After all, Xiao Lou and the others are in the world three years later. During these three years, once Someone entered Zhao's house and saw this letter, but the clues still couldn't be passed to Xiao Lou's hands."

Lu Jiuchuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly came up with an idea and said, "Hide it on the roof and leave a special mark to guide them to find it." He looked at Chu Huaying and said, "Huaying, let me borrow your dagger."

Chu Huaying understood what he meant and handed him the spider dagger.

Lu Jiuchuan jumped up, carved an obvious spider mark on the beam of the roof, and then hid the letter written by Gui Yuanzhang in the gap of the beam. Even if outsiders looked up and saw the mark, they would think it was left by a spider, but Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou would immediately recognize it - it was Chu Huaying's spider dagger.

The mark carved by the spider dagger is deep and will not fade away in three years. In this way, as long as Xiao Lou and the others walk into the Zhao family hall again, they will be able to find the clues left on the roof.

However, no one knows what will happen in three years. Lu Jiuchuan was not sure whether the clues that spanned time could be delivered to Xiao Lou's hands. They cannot go back to the world three years later, so they can only try their best to help their teammates pass the level in this way.

***

At the same time, Xiao Lou and his teammates finished their mermaid transformation and swam out of the lake.

Thinking of the large number of corpses of girls in red that he had just seen at the bottom of the lake, Xiao Lou felt a chill running down his spine and was blown by the night wind, causing him to sneeze several times in a row. Yu Hanjiang asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you catching a cold?"

Xiao Lou sniffed, shook his head and said: "It's okay. I just think the corpse at the bottom of the lake is too weird. This murderer obviously committed selective killings, and he killed all girls under the age of 18... Hanjiang, what do you think? ?”

Yu Hanjiang analyzed in a low voice: "The methods of committing crimes are different. One is to use a rattle as a key prop to lure people to mass graves and then kill them; the other is to drag people to the bottom of the lake, tie them with water plants, and drown them. Hunter The killing targets are also different, the former is to directly wipe out the entire family, while the latter only targets girls under the age of 18."

Liu Qiao finally understood after hearing this. She frowned and said, "Captain Yu, you mean there are two murderers in Qingfeng Town?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, the motives, methods, and aftermath are all different. Obviously, what we encountered this time was two cases going hand in hand. People have often disappeared in Qingfeng Town in recent years. It doesn't seem simple."

Long Sen scratched his head and said: "On the list that Mr. Tang got from Qin Feng's house yesterday, dozens of people have been marked with red crosses. These are all people who have disappeared in the past three years. In other words, some of them , were led to the mass graves by Murderer No. 1 and killed; and some were dragged into the lake and drowned by Murderer No. 2?"

Murderer No. 1 and Murderer No. 2, Long Sen’s expression is simple and intuitive.

Qu Wanyue then said: "Two murderers? If murderer No. 1 is related to the famine and human sacrifice twenty years ago, and committed a revenge crime... Then what was the purpose of murderer No. 2 in killing so many girls? ?”

Yu Hanjiang said: "This is a typical paranoid personality. All the girls tied to the bottom of the lake are wearing red clothes, and their long hair is tied with water plants. He is venting his emotions in this way. Perhaps, there is always something in his heart red

The girl in clothes is either a lover he can't forget, or an enemy who once had a great influence on him. "

Xiao Lou frowned and said: "The two murderers have been committing crimes for a long time, but the people in the small town have been brainwashed by the rumors of 'violent ghosts seeking their lives', and they actually ignore the matter of 'someone is missing'. I heard that someone When he disappeared, he subconsciously thought that he had been captured by a ghost... The two murderers used such clumsy means to cover up their crimes and killed so many people, it is unbelievable."

Qu Wanyue said helplessly: "It was easy for the ancients to believe in these stories of ghosts and gods, and with the murderer pretending to be a ghost, it is normal for people in the town to be deceived."

Yu Hanjiang lowered his head and glanced at the moonlight on the lake, and said, "Find a way to get out first. Old Mo, look at the lake, is it different from just now?"

Lao Mo was stunned for a moment and followed Yu Hanjiang's gaze. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "The maze is spinning again. I seem to have found the rules of this maze!"

After saying that, he took out the handkerchief with the maze map drawn on it, spread it out in front of Xiao Lou, pointed to Zuiyue Pavilion in the center of the map and said: "Our current location is this pavilion. The pavilion is the center point. Change. The outer maze will rotate at a certain angle every once in a while, and the reflection of the crescent moon projected on the lake will also rotate accordingly."

For example, just now, Lao Mo saw that the shadow of the moon in the lake was located at 30 degrees in the southeast corner of the pavilion. Now, after the maze is rotated, the shadow of the moon in the sky on the lake is due east, indicating that the entire maze is rotating counterclockwise.

Lao Mo said: "Judging from the position of the moon's projection on the lake, the angle of each rotation of the maze is 30 degrees. If you want to return to the original position, you need to rotate 360 ​​degrees, which is 12 times, which corresponds to the twelve hours of the day. .”

Xiao Lou looked at the map and said: "Twelve hours rotate in a circle. In other words, we entered the maze at Yinshi last night. There was a road at that time. Later, because of the rotation of the maze, the exit was redirected to an unknown place. Think about it. To find the exit of this maze again, we can only wait for the Yin time of the next day and let it return to its original position?"

Lao Mo nodded solemnly: "It should be so. After the maze rotates, the path will become chaotic. We can't find the exit, and we are easily chased and intercepted by hunters... How about we wait and see here, and wait until the maze returns to its normal position. go out?"

Xiao Lou was helpless: "This is the only way."

The maze after the rotation has no exit at all, and now they can't contact Shao Qingge and Brother Jiu. They can't let the teammates outside to teleport them out. They are locked in the ghost town maze and must find a way out by themselves.

Fortunately, Lao Mo finally analyzed the rotation rules of the maze from the moonlight projection.

Time passed by minute by second, and it was always dark in the ghost town. It was difficult for them to judge the exact time. They could only rely on the shadow projected by the moonlight on the lake to guess how many degrees the maze had turned.

I don't know how long it took, but Lao Mo suddenly said happily: "The angles are right, the maze has returned to its original position!"

Yu Hanjiang immediately flew up with Xiao Lou's Qinggong: "Find the exit quickly!"

The six people left Zuiyue Pavilion, followed Lao Mo's map guidance, and found the exit to the outside of the town.

Liu Qiao tried to take a step forward. However, as soon as her feet touched the border of the town, her whole body suddenly disappeared, as if she had been sucked into some space.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other and without hesitation, stepped across the border of Qingfeng Town together.

It was actually noon outside, with the sun high in the sky and a clear sky.

Xiao Lou turned around and looked behind him. It was clearly a dark ghost town just now, but at this time, the ghost town had long since disappeared, replaced by the stone monument of "Qingfeng Town" and the bustling residents.

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "I finally came out of the maze."

Xiao Lou tried to connect to the team voice: "Mr. Shao, Brother Ninth, can you hear me?"

It was so quiet in the headphones that you could hear a pin drop, and there was no response from any teammates.

Xiao Lou immediately opened the team contract - all twelve names were there, no teammates died, but why couldn't he contact them? He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "Brother Ninth and the others, will they also be transported to an independent space like the 'Ghost City Maze'? Due to the isolation of space, we cannot communicate with each other?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Go back to town first. We have to find out what happened to the girl who drowned at the bottom of the lake."
