Back in the hall, everyone gathered together, naturally it was safer. Even the killer Jason wouldn't kill in the presence of a large crowd. As time went on, everyone prepared to disperse and return to their rooms to rest.

Fujiwara Yu originally planned to let everyone stay in the hall and not leave, but there were always people who refused to listen, and he had no right to force them to stay here, so he had to let those who were willing to stay continue in the hall.

But reality was unexpected. In the end, the only people left were the five people who had gathered in the cabin the night before. Even Sayuri Kawanishi, the high school girl who had been trying to flirt with Sosuke Takagi the day before, had returned to the cabin alone, showing no intention of staying.

Hattori Heiji held his chin in his hand with an unhappy look on his face, wondering:

"These guys are so obedient during the day, but they seem to be in their rebellious phase at night. I'm speechless!"

"Yes, yes. That Kawaichi girl was vomiting violently after seeing the corpse during the day. I kindly asked her to stay with us, but I didn't expect that she would want to be alone. I don't know whether she is brave or too young and reckless." Kakizaki Sayuri nodded in agreement. She totally didn't understand why someone would act alone in such a situation. It was really outrageous.

Toyama Kazuha held a glass of juice and looked at the time on the wall clock. She wanted to suggest that they go back to the cabin to rest together, but she found that Mr. Takashi was scribbling something in a sketchbook. When she got closer, she found that it was a map.

"Mr. Yingsi, are you drawing a map of the campground?"

After marking the names of the residents of the last two wooden houses, Fujiwara Yuu drew a red cross on the tree next to the log dining table and nodded in response:

"Well, drawing it this way can help strengthen my memory and also help me figure out the murderer's route last night."

"I noticed that you marked five-pointed stars on the three wooden houses on the west side. What does that mean?" Akemi Miyano, who was sitting next to him, leaned her head over to look at the sketchbook, pointed at the five-pointed star mark and asked.

"Last night, after I discovered my cell phone had no signal, I went out within five minutes to check the suspension bridge and sent Hattori and Toyama to look for you," Fujiwara Yu explained, tapping the wooden house they lived in with the end of his ballpoint pen. He continued, "Our house is right next to the log dining table, and very close to the camphor tree where the body was found. It's impossible for the murderer to have hidden the body in the tree before I left. Therefore, we can rule out the possibility that the three houses west of the bridge were the murderer's residence."

Everyone showed an expression of understanding. The map was drawn very clearly. If the murderer was the owner of the wooden house to the west of the wooden bridge, he would definitely notice someone crossing the wooden bridge when they gathered at the wooden house. If they didn't notice anyone crossing the wooden bridge, it meant that the murderer did not live here.

"Now we can rule out the Xiangshan couple and Sayuri Kawanishi who lives alone. There are five suspects left, and the scope has been narrowed a lot." Hattori Heiji couldn't help but show an excited expression. Ruling out three people means that we are one step closer to the murderer.

Fujiwara Yu, who still had no idea about the murderer, couldn't be happy at all. He always felt that he had missed a very important clue, but he couldn't find the direction of reasoning... Did he really have to wait for the murderer to commit a second murder?

Thinking of this, he stood up and said in a serious tone:

"Come and rest over here today. The room is bigger than yours, so you can sleep more comfortably."

"Then can you accompany us to get some clothes? The changes of clothes are all over there."

"Well, let's go."

Steam rose in the bathroom. Xiangshan Shengzi, who had just finished taking a shower, wiped her hair with a clean towel. She changed into a light yellow long skirt and wanted to go back to the bedroom directly, but she heard noisy noises coming from the living room, which made her heart beat faster.

It is inevitable to be sensitive in extraordinary times. She held her breath and walked towards the living room. After she found that the figure squatting on the ground busying about something was a familiar person, she slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Xiangshan Shengzi approached from behind with a cat-like step. Noticing that her husband was actually packing his luggage, she wiped her hair and asked:

"Honey, what are you doing so late?"

"Need I even ask? Of course we're running away! When I was young, I often hiked in the mountains. There's always a way out of a forest like this. Didn't you see that during the day? That policeman named Ying Si is surrounding those little guys. He won't have the time to worry about our lives. Let's leave quickly under the cover of darkness!"

Koyama Saburo put all the clothes he brought into the suitcase. The other open suitcase was even more astonishing at first glance, because it was full of 10,000 yen banknotes, which was at least 100 million yen.

The Holy Son of Xiangshan paused while wiping his hair, and the faint smile on his face instantly disappeared. He said in a cold tone:

"I'm not leaving. If I run away now, I'll lose the rights to my membership voucher. If you want to leave, go alone."

"What did you say?!"

"Such an opportunity to make money is very rare. If you miss it, you will never get it again, so I won't give up with you." The Holy Son of Xiangshan reached out and touched the bangs on her forehead. She had made up her mind to do this for the sake of profit.

Besides, she didn't think she could escape from here through the forest. There was no need to waste energy. It would be safer to stay in the house.

Koyama Saburo looked at his wife of five years with disbelief and asked loudly:

"Am I not as important as that membership voucher in your eyes?!"
