Absurd deduction game

There is no need to talk much about the negotiation process with the female ghost. In short, when the female ghost finally kicked them out with a look of disgust, they had already got what they wanted.

If Zhao Mou hadn't cared about the miserable life of the female ghost, sincerely thought about the poor sisters who were still alive, and cooperated after the misunderstanding was resolved, she would have said as much as if she had eaten a cannonball. Guijiu would have said less before leaving. She has to be left without arms or legs.

Fortunately, the result was good, and the female ghost had a lot of information.

Zhao Mou said: That female ghost was also a woman in the brothel before, and she didn't want to tell us her name. She said that her family was so poor that she had no food to eat, so her father sold her. She had a fierce temper and was beaten a lot in the brothel. , other women advised her not to turn around like this, as it would be better to feel humiliated than to be beaten to death.

And after being beaten, he was still forced to pick up customers.

Later on, she learned to be smart. She was well-behaved on the surface, but actually she knew how to tell men's secrets when picking up customers. She got a lot of people's information and secretly did some blackmailing. Over the past few years, she saved some money and planned to Redeem yourself.”

Originally, she could really get out of the brothel.

It's a pity that she holds too many handles, and there are always some that she cannot touch because of her status. Her blackmail was discovered by the young master of the Li family - yes, there is a second young master in the Li family, who usually I don't care about business matters, I only care about eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, which is very messy.

Then the young master thought about it, could he have missed some information from him? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he told his brother, the eldest son of the Li family, about this.

This female ghost was killed by the eldest son of the Li family. Those people pretended to be prostitutes, humiliated her, and made her die on the bed in the most humiliating way.

The resentment in the female ghost's heart was as deep as the sea, and she turned into a resentful ghost that night. Following the traces of those people, she spent two months and finally found an opportunity to kill them all. Then she found her father's residence. She wanted to take advantage of the situation. Take revenge.

But she found that her father was dead. She didn't know when he died. The body had long been rotten, covered with maggots, and exuded a putrid stench.

Their residence was in the poorest part of Fengtou Town. To put it bluntly, it was a beggar's den. The four walls were leaky and the house became a water curtain hole when it rained. They had no food every day and were precarious.

Her father is a beggar, and her mother is somewhere, probably dead a long time ago. This beggar father doesn't know how he brought her up, and wants to sell her into a brothel in her prime.

In this place, people's hearts are even more indifferent than in Pang. Everyone is thinking about how to survive tomorrow. No one cares whether a beggar in a broken house is dead or not. Even if he knows he is dead, he won't mind his business. Build a grave for the corpse.

The female ghost couldn't take revenge with her own hands, so she calmed down a little, thinking that at least the beggar father had broken a rotten cake in half and fed her when she was a child.

So she wanted to find her father's soul and ask her what he was thinking. He had persisted for more than ten years, but now he wanted to sell her?

As a result, she wandered around Fengtou Town every night and could not find her father.

She felt that her father might be avoiding her.

The female ghost was no longer persistent. She only had one last wish, which was to kill the eldest and second young masters of the Li family. However, these two people huddled in the yard at night, and there were strange things protecting them in the yard. , making her unable to do anything.

She couldn't move the second young master and the eldest young master of the Li family. She was unwilling to do so, so she remained in a stalemate.

Later, unable to find a solution, she returned to the brothel and has been wandering here ever since.

Many women in the brothel had quietly helped her when she was beaten before, so she stayed here and watched these women sleep every day.

Although her intentions were good, occasionally when a woman woke up and saw her, she would be scared to the point of pouting over. After a few times, the female ghost decided to hide even at night and not show her face.

Occasionally she would catch prostitutes who were bold enough to operate at night. Today when Guijiu came into the house, she thought he was also here to do this kind of sneaky business.

Yu Xing listened to the story for a long time and felt that this female ghost was also a strange person. She was brave and resourceful when she was alive, and she could still maintain this level of sanity after she died.

If she were in another place, she might really be able to be a spy and do some intelligence work.

Zhao Mou, who was engaged in intelligence work, felt even deeper. He felt a little pity for this female ghost. He said: She does have something to do with the Li family. I heard that the last head of the Li family was also a good person. Oh, he is the father of Second Young Master Li. , Mr. Li.

When Mr. Li was still alive, the Li family was not as rich as it is now. He was a little hesitant in doing business and was not as cruel as others. He would also give porridge to refugees after every flood.

Until six years ago, Master Li was drowned when the flood first broke out. Young Master Li inherited the family business and changed his old ways. The entire Li family became shrewd and vicious. Not only did they no longer do good deeds, Instead, he tried every means to plunder people's money, raise food prices, and make disaster money. Zhao Mou said, I heard that many people felt sorry for Mr. Li. It's a pity that his good deeds were not rewarded, and the son he gave birth to was nothing like him.

But this female ghost got a different version of the story from Second Young Master Li. Once, Second Young Master Li was drunk by her and revealed that his eldest brother had actually been in contact with a mysterious person for a long time, and then he made a big fuss. When he was there, he drowned his father with his own hands and threw him into the river.

After Dashui was retreated by Master Wanban, Young Master Li has secured his position and is on an equal footing with the other men who are a generation older than him. Even with Master Wanban, his status is only slightly lower than that of Mr. Zhao.

The evidence of this matter, the correspondence between Young Master Li and the mysterious man, is in the secret compartment under Young Master Li's bed.

Yu Xing was curious: This second young master knows a lot, why hasn't his brother dealt with him?

It's bad, because he is so useless. He usually entertains cats and dogs, eats, drinks, and gambles. Young Master Li never thought that this younger brother would actually spy on him and know the truth from beginning to end. Siren rolled his eyes again. , this time somersaulting to the Li family.

When the deducers heard this story, they felt completely different from ordinary people. They could all think of it——

In the eyes of Second Young Master Li and the female ghost, this secret points to Young Master Li's moral issues. Once people know that he drowned his father with his own hands, things will probably be very troublesome.

Second Young Master Li had caused a lot of troubles, but he did not dare to offend his brother. So when he found out that a prostitute was actually collecting evidence to blackmail others, he was afraid and quickly told Young Master Li.

But for Mr. Li, this matter is not that simple.

Once the matter is exposed, it will involve more core and deeper secrets. For example, who is the mysterious person who corresponds with him?

In case someone gets too entangled...

Therefore, Mr. Li decisively killed the woman who might cause trouble, and strangled a woman who was about to save enough money to leave the brothel.

Still using the most disgusting way.

If you ask me, instead of taking the Wang family's special items, you should just take the Li family's special items. I didn't like the Li family's beasts last night. The siren thought of this again and played with it for a while. The dagger on the table that no one cares about, the more I think about it, the more pity it feels.

Yu Xing groaned: The thing from the Li family is a statue of a god. It's made of stone. The sitting platform is taller than me. I just feel that carrying this thing will be very tiring——

Although it is nothing to carry, it is not as easy to carry a dagger.

But it was because he didn't know the secret of the Li family, otherwise he would have chosen the Li family to cause trouble.

I'm afraid that after Young Master Li learned the news, he destroyed the letters under the bed, so he didn't find any relevant clues tonight.

Suddenly, the progress of his hidden mission was pushed forward by another two percent.

——Before the scandal broke out, Young Master Li had contact with someone who was suspected to be Master Wanban.

Therefore, it is not even clear whether the flood was caused by natural factors or man-made factors.

As soon as this information came out, the time when the conspiracy came into being had to be pushed forward.

Yu Xing estimated that after exchanging so much information, Zhao Mou and Siren's hidden mission should have started, so he asked a few questions, and sure enough he got a positive answer.

Incidentally, the ghost's beggar father's soul also disappeared, apparently taken away.

It means that the beggar father of the female ghost suddenly sold the female ghost. Someone should have intervened behind the scenes, maybe it was a threat, maybe it was an inducement. In short, there must be a reason for the beggar father to do something that he has not done for more than ten years. decision made.

The female ghost is still active near the brothel.

In other words, from the beginning to the end, the soul behind the scenes was the beggar father's. They just used this method to get rid of the only person around the beggar father who could realize that the beggar died abnormally.

It doesn't matter whether this fiery woman will die or not.

As long as the female ghost leaves the beggar father's side, no one will care about how the beggar died. Even if after a while, the woman is not dead and runs out of the brothel, and the beggar father's body is found again, she will only care about how the beggar died. He thought he died of starvation or some kind of accident.

I don’t know how many similar things have happened.

The person behind the scenes seems to like to disguise the death of the soul he wants to take away as an accident, and the accidents connected one after another form a web of conspiracy.

Yu Xing vaguely got a glimpse of the other party's character from these details.

But then I thought about it, they deduced that fifteen people were unconscious at the same time. If this was also done by the other party, it seemed a bit inconsistent with the other party's character.

By the way, Yu Xing, did you see the watchman last night?

The exchange of information between the two parties was almost complete, and it was still early. Zhao Mou suddenly remembered something and asked him.

No. Yu Xing answered decisively. He ran around with Luo Yan for the second half of the journey. In fact, he saw Zhao Huaisheng's back along the way.

But he did not see the watchman. No matter which street, there was no sign of the watchman.

If there weren't two rules related to the watchman, he would almost feel that the position of watchman does not exist in Fengtou Town.

Zhao Mou said: We haven't seen it either. We originally wanted to go look for it and find out first what kind of existence the watchman is, so that we can have an idea.

But Ah Jiu said that even his shadow could not find any trace of the watchman.

Maybe the watchman didn't come out at all last night. Siren shrugged, Otherwise, I think... maybe the watchman also has the duty of patrolling at night? For example, he saw us sneaking into other people's rooms everywhere. People, just catch us and ask about the situation, after all, we are too suspicious.

Zhao Mou: ...

Really? He really didn't come out. Yu Xing touched his chin and thought, I thought he was captured by Zhao Ruru.

Zhao Ruru's interest in the watchman was completely on his face. His words were half-joking and half-serious. What if the normal watchman who would provide help was actually weak? Then he was directly kidnapped by Zhao Ruru——

It's impossible no matter how you think about it. Zhao Mou interrupted his fantasy speechlessly, In short, we have never thought about the difference between being late and being able to come out. Let's pay attention to it when we go to investigate today.

The serious topic has been discussed for now.

There were no patients coming to the hospital for the time being. With nothing to do, they all took it easy and waited for the various events of last night to unfold.

The Siren ran to the inside of the door of the medical center, moved a chair and sat there, looking out eagerly, and let out a laugh that was afraid of chaos in the world: I can't wait to see chaos~

The one who came before Luan Zi was Er Hong.

Erhong was wearing his old clothes, probably running here, breathing heavily while greeting everyone, with a healthy blush on his face.

When he saw Yu Xing, he was stunned: Hey, Mr. Head Guard, are you here to see the doctor again?

He suffered some internal injuries. He was only able to go to the ground yesterday, but he has not recovered. Zhao Mou instantly entered the role, assuming the image of a doctor who is gentle on the surface but actually has a sharp tongue. He has to come here every day. If he hadn't been like An unchained wild dog can't stay in a house, so I would rather have him live directly in Baishou Hall.

Erhong choked and did not dare to accept the rude words. She could only smile shyly at Yu Xing, her pair of deer eyes as bright as when she first saw him.

Yu Xing also restrained his gentle demeanor in front of his own people, and grasped the temperament of the escort head tightly. He sat on the chair with his legs crossed. He did not talk to Er Hong first, but tilted his head and sneered at Zhao Mou: Your medical skills If you were so sharp with your words, maybe I could get better faster.

Oh? If you weren't in such a hurry to go out yesterday and tortured your body somewhere, you wouldn't have gotten such a bad result when I examined you just now. Dr. Zhao was not to be outdone, I have seen many patients like you. Well, if you don’t want to be treated, just don’t come here next time.”

Yu Xing snorted, but he still wanted to treat the injury, so he could only give in to the doctor with a look of reluctance.

Then he looked at Erhong, who had already started to clean the house. As if he didn't get any advantage from the doctor, he just wanted to tease the child: Your name is Erhong?

Er Hong was holding a rag in her hand and was wiping the window pane of the medical clinic. Hearing this, he turned around and said, Yes!

How old are you this year?

Sixteen!

Yu Xing held the gold-inlaid dagger in his hand like a walnut, and raised his lips and said, Really? Why are you so short? You look like you are fourteen years old.

Erhong: ...

He looked down at himself, measured his young body, and then couldn't help but retort in a low voice: ...I'm not short anymore.

Yu Xing just made something out of nothing and said it deliberately.

Erhong is between the age of a teenager and a young man. He is already very tall, with a rosy face and a body that is not shriveled. It is obvious from a glance that he has never been hungry.

He turned the very heavy dagger around on his fingertips: Speaking of which, what's your last name? It can't be Second, right?

My surname is Xu! Erhong looked at him, a little helpless and a little stubborn, Who would have the surname Er?

Yu Xing smiled again: Do you have any brothers in your family? Are they from the Big Red, Second, and Third Red ranks?

...No, no, my name is Er Hong. Er Hong was obviously not used to the naughty teasing of bad adults. He wiped the window panes slower and his ears turned a little red, Sir, I am an orphan. No parents and no brothers.”

Yu Xing curled his lips and opened his mouth: I have seen a lot of orphans. Who do you think is not? I am not the same.

But if you say so, I kind of like you. Growing up alone is not easy - did your parents abandon you?

Erhong's mood obviously became depressed.

He looked at Zhao Mou for help, only to find that Dr. Zhao was writing something behind the counter with a serious look on his face. It was probably a prescription, right? It seemed like he wasn't listening to their conversation at all.

With no way to ask for help, Erhong could only say: My parents drowned...when I was very young.

Oh. Yu Xing remained calm, just holding his chin, and the cruel look in his eyebrows faded slightly, That's okay, I thought they were just another pair of scum who abandoned their children.

Erhong looked at him, sizing up his expression, and suddenly asked cautiously: ...Sir, were you abandoned by your parents?

Yu Xing's tense face suddenly showed a weird smile that was hard to detect.

But he believed that Erhong, who was observing him carefully, would definitely find out.

No, my parents are also dead, bitten to death by natural enemies, leaving me alone to grow up in the mountains.

Ah? The shock and confusion on Erhong's face didn't seem to be fake, What does it mean to be...'a natural enemy'?

This kind of vocabulary is so strange.

Siren, who was pretending to look at the scenery, noticed that Yu Xing was chatting strangely, and calmly laid his eyes on Er Hong's face.

Yu Xing's eyes flickered, and then he regained his normal expression as a bodyguard, and twitched his lips: Oh, sorry, slip of the tongue. It's not a natural enemy, it's an enemy. My parents were killed by the enemy... ha.

Oh, it's not easy for you either. Erhong scratched his head and added, It's not easy for many people.

After a while, he went to the backyard to wash the rag.

Zhao Mou's eyes suddenly drifted over: What's going on?

The Siren also said: Are you testing him? Do you think he is related to the person behind the scenes?

Yu Xing said: He has a certain similarity with the boy I met last night, so I will just give it a try.

He just wanted to see if Er Hong would think that he was a fox demon when he heard him spill the words.

To be honest, in terms of appearance alone, these two teenagers look nothing alike.

Erhong is taller, stronger, healthier and has longer hair than the boy last night.

Their personalities are also completely different. Erhong is lively and smart because she works outside her home. Her social skills have developed normally and she can communicate with people very smoothly. However, the one last night couldn't pretend to be socially fearful or gloomy.

But such two completely different individuals always gave Yu Xing an inexplicable sense of connection, so he deliberately played with the Wang family's dagger in front of Er Hong to test whether the other party had any impression of this thing.

He also asked Erhong's last name.

What a coincidence, Erhong's surname is Xu.

And last night, Yu Xing just sighed in his heart that the aura of that young man was very much like the Xu family among the three major families.

But the results of the test are very disappointing. I probably thought too much. Yu Xing said, He and that boy are not the same person, I can be sure.
