Chapter 510, Ghost Town at Night

The sun was about to set, and Qingfeng Town was shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. Xiao Lou opened the window and looked outside. As expected, the people on the street went home in a hurry. The town was lively and peaceful during the day. Once the sun went down, It will become an empty city. Xiao Lou looked at the empty alley and said softly, "If we continue to stay in the town, we will be transported to the ghost town again after dark. I don't know how many hunters will be waiting for us there this time."

Yu Hanjiang walked up to him, gently held his shoulders and said, "But if we leave Qingfeng Town, after dark, will we be transported to other worlds like Mr. Shao and Brother Jiu last time?"

Last time, their team divided into three groups for action. Shao Qingge and Ye Qi were transported to the world twenty years ago at the gate of the town. The four of Brother Nine went to the woods and ended up going back to three years ago.

In other words, people who are within the town after dark will continue to stay in the "original world". Challengers who leave the town will be transported to other points in time. It is still unclear how the teleportation was arranged. If they were also transported to the famine era twenty years ago, this secret room would be impossible to clear.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, "We must stay in the original world. Not to mention that the murderer of the Shenhu case has no clue. The key figures in the Ligui case, Zhou Xiaoyun, and the two murderers Qi Ran and Han Ningshuang have not been found either."

Yu Hanjiang said, "Well, I can only stay here. There are currently too few clues about the Shenhu case, but what is certain is that the bride who committed suicide by hanging from a beam at the wedding and the groom who drowned in the river not long after were involved in this case. The key figure. Generally speaking, as long as the murderer commits a crime, as long as he is not an impulsive and random killing, then the first person he kills must be closely related to his motive for committing the crime. However, the people he kills later may be selected after psychological distortion. Goal to satisfy your own psychological pleasure.”

According to the information obtained by Qu Wanyue and Liu Qiao in the town, on the eighth day of March two years ago, Long Yan, the third young master of the Long family, and Lin Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, got married. Since both Long and Lin families were from Qingfeng Town, From a wealthy family, the wedding of two young people was considered a perfect match. The wedding was grand and many guests were invited.

The murderer probably entered the wedding banquet among the guests and killed the bride. It has been two years since the wedding, and it is difficult to find a complete list of guests who attended the banquet that day.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Lou had no choice but to say, "It seems that the Shenhu case will have to wait until tomorrow to continue the investigation. I wonder if we can get any other clues about the ghost town after dark this time."

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, then held down the earphone and said to his teammates, "It's getting dark soon. Everyone, come to the Tianzihao room and join me and Xiao Lou to avoid being attacked by hunters like last time."

After hearing this, the four people immediately came to Xiao Lou's room to gather.

The women I met in the ghost town before had hair that could grow infinitely, as well as women with ghost-faced doll makeup and red oil-paper umbrellas. They were all very powerful hunters. In this secret room, it seems that the Hunters can only haunt the ghost town maze at night, but no one interferes with them during the day. I wonder if the Hunters have identity restrictions in this secret room.

In short, the ghost town at night is extremely dangerous, so everyone must be fully prepared.

After a while, it finally got dark.

Qingfeng Town outside the window was shrouded in soft moonlight, and the black tree shadows were constantly shaking on the ground, like a devil with teeth and claws. There was no sound of any animals around, and it was eerily quiet, as if the six of them had been abandoned by the whole world.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, opened the window, and climbed down with their teammates.

This time the alley was not as straight and endless as before. Instead, it was winding and the moon above was clearly visible. Lao Mo immediately said, "The alley is normal. We were not pulled into the territory by the hunter."

Liu Qiao looked around and lowered his voice and asked, "She didn't come this time, or did she say she didn't want to use the same method a second time?"

Xiao Lou pricked up his ears alertly. There didn't seem to be any sounds of hunters around, but Xiao Lou still didn't dare to let down his guard. He whispered to his teammates, "Everyone, be careful. I'm going to open the way with Han Jiang. Long Sen and Wanyue are following behind with chameleon cards. Xiao Liu is behind, and Wan is following." If someone makes a sneak attack, use Elsa's Ice Storm to stop them first."

The six people quickly stood up in formation. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou walked in the front. Long Sen and Qu Wanyue used chameleon cards to hide their figures. Behind Liu Qiao, Lao Mo took out the maze map drawn on a handkerchief to guide everyone. They quickly walked out of the small room behind the inn. Lane, saw the lake in the center of Qingfeng Town.

The familiar Zuiyue Lake is covered with fragments cast by moonlight. Lao Mo squatted down and carefully observed the debris on the lake while saying, "Tonight the maze is still rotating, one hour at the origin. In other words, if we want to leave this maze, we need to stay here for 12 hours and wait for the maze to return to the origin. , and then go out through the previous exit."

Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice, "These 12 hours must be survival mode. I don't know where the predator is hiding."

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's go, everyone be careful."

They walked along the lake and only walked a short distance when they suddenly heard the deafening sound of firecrackers around them. Liu Qiao, who was walking at the end, was startled. He immediately stopped and turned to look in the direction of the sound of firecrackers. "Midnight Setting off firecrackers, could it be that the story of Zhao Ze’an’s marriage is about to happen again?”

The first time everyone came to the Night Ghost City, they saw Zhao Ze'an getting married. Could it be happening again today?

Lao Mo looked at the alley where the firecrackers were ringing and said, "It shouldn't be the Zhao family. That alley is not right."

Although the maze is constantly rotating, it is difficult to accurately identify the direction

, but he remembered that there were not many willow trees planted in the alley in front of Zhao's house. At this time, where the sound of firecrackers came from, the whole street was full of willow trees. The willow branches and leaves on the roadside were intertwined, and in the moonlight The bottom is swaying in the wind, looking like a ghost.

Xiao Lou said, "If it's the Zhao family, it's the Long family."

Liu Qiao quickly realized, "Could it be the couple Long Yan and Lin Wanqing who had an accident at the wedding banquet two years ago?"

Yu Hanjiang whispered, "The scene has reappeared again. Let's go and take a look."

The six people followed the sound of firecrackers to the street, and sure enough they saw a family with a circle of red lanterns hanging around their yard, and two characters "囍" posted on the door. There were several guards standing at the door, all wearing festive red clothes.

At this time, although the door is open, no guests come in or out, and the wedding banquet may have already begun.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and asked softly, "Wear an invisibility cloak and go in directly, or should you fly to the roof and take a look?"

Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "How about this. Long Sen and Wanyue sneak in first to check the situation, and we'll wait for the news."

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue had already used chameleon cards to fuse with the floor. After hearing this, Qu Wanyue said from the ground, "Okay, let's go in and explore the path first."

The two entered the courtyard. After a while, Qu Wanyue's voice came from Xiao Lou's earphones: "Professor Xiao, the bride and groom are worshiping. The guests don't look unusual. It should be a reappearance of the scene two years ago."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and Xiao Lou nodded, "Go in with Qinggong."

After all, the invisibility cloak should be used sparingly. Yu Hanjiang opened the Qinggong card and flew to the roof with Xiao Lou. Liu Qiao also opened the Qinggong card, used Thumbelina to shrink Lao Mo into a small one, put it in his pocket, and flew to the roof.

The four of them chose a dark corner with no light and secretly lay on the roof, only sticking their heads out to observe the situation in the yard.

"First worship the heaven and earth, and secondly worship the high hall"

"Husband and wife worship" and "ritual completion"

As expected, a ceremony was taking place in the hall. The bride covered her face with a red hijab and her face could not be seen clearly. The groom's face was full of joy. After the ceremony, he smiled and bowed to the surrounding guests.

The groom's face is full of flesh, and his eyes narrow into a line when he smiles. He is tall and round, less than 1.7 meters tall, and weighs more than 200 kilograms. On the other hand, the bride, although her face cannot be seen clearly, has a slim figure. .

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang connected with each other before entering the night ghost town. Seeing this scene, they said in their minds, "Although the groom's family is rich, his figure and appearance do not match the bride. He probably weighs as much as the bride." He is more than three times his wife and I don’t know if the bride is willing to marry him.”

Yu Hanjiang said, "If the bride was forced, why did the murderer kill the bride?"

Xiao Lou thought about it. Assuming that the murderer loved the bride deeply and had the idea of ​​killing because he was "unable to love", then if the bride was forced by her family, the murderer would not kill the bride. He would be more likely to kill the groom and her. family, and then take away the bride.

Yu Hanjiang then said, "There are two possibilities. The first is that the bride and the murderer originally had a deep relationship, but later changed their minds because they were greedy for the Long family's money, and agreed to their parents' arrangement to marry the fat and ugly third member of the Long family. The murderer became jealous and killed the bride on the night of the wedding banquet. Shortly afterwards, he killed Long San. Then, because of his psychological distortion, he killed many women of the same age in the town, dressed them in red clothes, and dragged them to the lake. inside."

Xiao Lou followed this train of thought and said, "The second possibility is that the bride had offended the murderer before, and happened to be wearing red, which left a serious psychological shadow on the murderer. The murderer hated the bride deeply, so he took the opportunity of the wedding banquet to kill her. "Her"

A distorted mentality caused by love and hatred. Or did he hate her in the first place so he took revenge at the wedding banquet?

Xiao Lou looked up and saw Mrs. Xi helping the bride into the bridal chamber, while the groom stayed in the yard with other guests to drink. He held a wine pot and toasted table after table. The whole backyard was filled with people drinking and drinking. .

Yu Hanjiang glanced sharply at the guest seats, looking for anyone suspicious.

He saw many familiar faces.

Qin Feng sat at the table on the far left. At the table next to him were Lin Feng, the head of the Lin family, and Lin Wanru, who had just been killed not long ago. Lin Wanru was still a girl of about 16 years old two years ago, and Lin Wanqing was her cousin. Came to the wedding banquet with my parents.

Yu Hanjiang said, "Judging from their expressions, there is nothing obviously abnormal about these guests. All seats are occupied by guests, and no one left the scene sneakily."

Who could be the murderer among the guests?

Yu Hanjiang was puzzled. Suddenly, he thought of another possibility and said, "Quick, go to the new house and have a look."

After Qu Wanyue heard this, she immediately walked towards the new house with Long Sen.

When Xi Po and the bride left just now, they saw the location of the new house. They quickly arrived at the door of the new house. Xi Po and the maids seemed to have withdrawn, and it was very quiet inside. Qu Wanyue poked a hole in the paper window and looked inside.

I saw a woman in red hanging from a hanging beam in the room, spitting out a long tongue, and had long since lost her breath.
