Card Room

Chapter 475

Qu Wanyue has never seen a horror movie since childhood, her parents are scientific researchers, and she has never told her ghost stories. Now, seeing the house full of spirits, she remembers the bride who got married from this yard last night , She is really cold hair all over the body upside down-really long to see ghosts!

Long Sen is not afraid of ghosts, but this time, the world of the secret room rotates day and night, and he is still confused.

As a sports school coach with "developed limbs and simple mind", Long Sen knew that his IQ was at the bottom of the team, he simply gave up thinking, looked at Xiao Lou, and asked seriously, "Professor Xiao, the house is full of spirits, we watched it last night The bride you arrived should be a ghost bride, right? Does it mean that there is a problem with the cause of death of this family member, what we are investigating is their cause of death? "

Xiao Lou is still not sure about the theme of this secret room, but Longsen ’s statement is the most likely. He stood by the tree and thought about it, saying, "This family ’s death is definitely not simple. You stay outside. I will go and see with Han Jiang. Look."

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue nodded and stood guard under the tree near the yard, pretending to be a gossip, but actually sent a whistle.

Yu Hanjiang took advantage of nobody around, directly opened a light merit card, and took Xiao Lou to fly into the courtyard from the treetops.

This yard has been deserted, and no one has cleaned it for a long time. The height of the weeds in the garden is almost above the knees. Last night ’s storm caused the old tree in the yard to break a few branches, and the broken branches piled up on the ground. a mess.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang avoided the branches and walked lightly.

This is a typical large household with several small yards connected by arched corridors. There is also a pond in the middle of the yard. Although the water in the pond has dried up because it has been left unattended for a long time, the surrounding The stone steps and pavilions are extremely delicately constructed, and the layout of Feng Shui is also very particular. When nothing happened, the family must have a prosperous life.

The two bypassed the pond and entered the hall.

Unlike the mess in the courtyard, the hall is very clean. There are no signs of fighting in the house, and the tables and chairs are neatly arranged. As Qu Wanyue said, there is a table in the middle of the hall with a lot of spiritual positions.

Xiao Lou counted them carefully, and arranged three rows from top to bottom with a total of 16 spiritual positions. On each spiritual position, their names were written with red pens.

The family name is Zhao, and the top row is called "Zhao Chengrui". Xiao Lou whispered, "In the Lingtang, the elders' spirit positions are usually placed on the top. This Zhao Chengrui, may be the grandfather of the Zhao family?"

Yu Hanjiang said, "Well," he walked to the position of the spirit, and glanced over all the names. He said, "It's not the surname Zhao, it should be the woman married to the Zhao family. The first row is grandfather and grandmother, the second row is parents, and the third The row is the younger generation. But there are four spiritual positions in the third row. Which one is the ghost bride who got married last night? "

The four names in the third row are Zhao Zeping, Zhao Zean, Zhao Zeshun, Zhao Zesui ...

Xiao Lou touched his chin and looked carefully at the three rows of spiritual positions. He said, "The name of the Zhao family, the last word is connected together," Securely smooth. "When the elders took the name, they obviously hoped that several children would grow up peacefully. These four names can be used by both men and women. From the name alone, there is no way to tell which one is the girl who got married last night. "

Yu Hanjiang said, "Is this family dead on the table?"

Xiao Lou frowned slightly. "Is it ... a massacre?"

Yu Hanjiang turned to look inside the house.

The furnishings in the hall did not seem to have been a fierce battle. He does not have the luminescent ammonia used by modern police investigators in his hands and can only rely on his eyes. He glanced around and found no residual blood stains. Unlike the cleaned up scene after the door was destroyed, it is more likely that the murder did not happen here.

Yu Hanjiang said, "Let's check the entire yard first to see if there are any clues."

Xiao Lou agreed: "Well, since the bride last night was married from this family, she must have her own boudoir in her mother's house."

The two left the hall and turned to the backyard.

The backyard is divided into many small yards. The south yard is separated by an arched door, which is the residence of the maidservants and servants. The countless number of rooms in the other courtyards shows the huge family of the surnamed Zhao.

The layout of this yard is almost comparable to the labyrinth. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have to mark them with arrows and check them one by one. The two first found the residence of Zhao's parents, and there were many hand-written scriptures, as well as Buddhist beads and other things found in the house. The old man in this family obviously believed in Buddha.

Then there is the residence of the parents ’generation. There is nothing special. In one of the rooms, many exquisite medicine bottles were found, and the names of various medicines were marked with paper labels. Zhao family should have someone to learn medicine and know how to make Dan medicine.

The room style of the younger generation is quite different from that of the older generation. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly locked four rooms. In order to organize the clues, the two named the rooms with a, b, c, and d, and made temporary marks with arrows of different colors.

Room a, in addition to the reception room and bedroom, the other suite is the weapons room. A row of wooden sword racks on the wall are hung with seven swords of different lengths. These weapons should look very precious. The owner of this room I really like collecting famous swords.

Room b, there is a small study next to the bedroom, there are many ancient books on the shelf, like "Book of Changes", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and so on. The owner of this room likes to read books. It is worth noting that there is also a cradle in the bedroom with a child's toy, Xiao Lou picked it up and looked at it-it was a small red rattle.

Room c, at first glance, is the girl's residence. The bed curtains and bed sheets are pink. There are many flowers growing on the window sills in the bedroom. Unfortunately, most of the flowers are withered now, and only a pot of palm cactus is still alive. On her desk is a pair of white handkerchiefs with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it. The handkerchiefs have colored needles next to them.

The last room was also the girl ’s residence, and a red word of happiness was posted on the inner window.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other and searched the room carefully.

Unfortunately, this room has the fewest clues. No special things are found in the desks, drawers, and cabinets. The wardrobe and jewelry box are half empty. It should be the girl who brought her favorite jewelry to her wife's house when she married.

The two went to the window and discussed in a low voice.

Xiao Loudao "We found that there are four rooms for young people, two men and two women. In ancient times, it was usually the older sister who married first, and the younger sister who married later. At present, it is certain that room d is the boudoir of the ghost bride who was married last night. Room c is her sister's room, and half of the handkerchief embroidered on the table is embroidered with mandarin ducks. What do you think? "

Yu Hanjiang said, "According to your analysis, the younger sister hasn't married, but she should have a sweetheart. She wants to embroider the mandarin duck handkerchief and give it to the other party. Unfortunately, the person will die before finishing the embroidery."

Xiao Lou nodded. "I think so too. The Mandarin duck has a special meaning, not to mention the hand-embroidered Mandarin duck, which is most likely to be given to the sweetheart." He paused, and said, "The other two men's rooms, with many books It ’s the older brother Zhao Zeping, who is married and has a baby. "

Yu Hanjiang agrees, "Well, it ’s the second son with arms, and he does n’t seem to be married yet. The question is, how should the four children be sorted? The boss should be a man, the second, the third, the fourth, who is the man? Is it a female? "

Xiao Lou thought about the four names carefully and said, "I feel like Zhao Zean and Zhao Zesui are like girls, and Zhao Zeping and Zhao Zeshun are like boys. The four brothers and sisters of the Zhao family, perhaps the order of the eldest brother, second sister, third brother, and fourth sister? "

Yu Hanjiang's lips twitched lightly. "I guess so too. As for the accuracy, more clues are needed to verify."

Xiao Loudao "There is another key."

Yu Hanjiang said tacitly, "Children's toys?"

Xiao Lou picked up the rattle found in his brother ’s room and said, “Big brother ’s house found a cradle and children ’s toys, indicating that he was married and having children. However, the wife and child ’s spiritual position was not found in the Zhaojia Lingtang just now. Generally speaking, the spiritual positions of husband and wife should be placed side by side, for example, the spiritual positions of their parents are put together. "

Yu Hanjiang added, "And there is incense in the Lingtang. When we went in just now, the Sanyou incense was still lit and burned for more than a half, indicating that some time ago, someone came to incense the Zhao family's spirit."

Xiao Loudao "This person is probably the survivor in the massacre-the wife or child of the boss?"

Yu Hanjiang agreed to nod "I think so too."

The two looked at each other. This way came side by side, through so many secret rooms, the tacit understanding between the two of them was really getting higher and higher, and I always thought of going together. From the distribution of spirit positions and room surveys, they have figured out the approximate relationship between the Zhao family.

The key figures are the bride, and the wife and children of the undiscovered eldest son.

What is still unclear is-what happened to the Zhao family?

The scene where I saw the bride getting married last night, is it an illusion at night, or is it a recurring scene?

this point is very important.

If Miss Two died before she got married, what they saw last night might be the illusion of "marrying a ghost wife" in the underworld. But if she died after getting married, what they saw may be the "recurrence of the past" formed by the ghost's obsession.

Xiao Lou suggested, "Let ’s go to the inn and ask for more."

Yu Hanjiang took him out of the Zhao family.

Qu Wanyue and Long Sen have been waiting outside. When they saw them come out, Long Sen immediately stepped forward and asked, "Professor Xiao, did you find any clues?"

Xiao Lou explained simply, “This younger generation has four siblings. The eldest brother is married and has children. The second marriage is likely to be the second lady. What we need to figure out now is, what happened to the Zhao family, how could it be destroyed?”

Long Sen nodded, "Well, are you going to the inn?"

Yu Hanjiang said, "Let's go. I will ask Lao Mo what is happening there, and the inn will meet later."

He pressed the voice headset, connected to the team voice channel, and whispered, "Everyone pay attention, this time the secret room case is more complicated. We found the house full of spirits in the house where the bride married last night, and the Zhao family was ruined. . Lao Mo, where are you and Liu Qiao? "

Lao Mo quickly replied, "I took Liu Qiao to the house where I gave birth last night. It was a deserted yard. There was no one. I asked the residents nearby. They said that this family suddenly It ’s gone, I do n’t know if it ’s moving. ”

Liu Qiao added, “It was inexplicably missing overnight. The young lady in this family had just given birth to a child, and the neighbors nearby wanted to see them the next day, but the whole family was gone.”
