Chapter 77 Anonymous Text Message (2) Bystanders can also become...
Of course, Fei Yu did not miss the departure time.
He opened the file bag and took out the information again. He had only glanced at it briefly before, but the information was quite detailed. He also basically understood the current situation, the background story and his own identity definition.
In this copy, Fei Yu, a private detective, received a new commission a few days ago. His employer asked him to reinvestigate a murder case that had been closed many years ago. After investigating, he found that the real murderer might be someone else.
The suspect was invited to a dinner party at a villa on a remote island. Coincidentally, Fei Yu also received an invitation.
In addition to the suspect's personal information, the file bag also contained information about other people who might have attended the dinner, including the organizer of the event.
Including him, there are eleven people in total.
Fei Yu took out the last one, and as expected, it contained the specific content of the ghost story information.
You were surprised to receive this unexpected invitation, but ultimately decided to go. Perhaps it was because of that suspicious person, or perhaps it was because you were also feeling uneasy... Can you really enjoy this dinner tonight?
A sudden text message announces that the first person to die will appear tonight, and suspicion and panic surge in. Trapped on an isolated island, you are unable to contact the outside world, until, in the end, no one is spared.
[Will the contents of text messages become reality? Perhaps you can change this future?]
[Rule 1: You will receive an anonymous text message every night. Please make sure to check the message without being noticed by others and delete it.]
【Rule 2: Only desserts are edible at dinner parties.】
Rule number three: If you're woken by a strange noise in the middle of the night, don't worry; it's just the housekeeper cleaning up the trash.
[Rule 4: Don't open any vacant rooms out of curiosity, especially the top floor of a villa.]
[Rule 5: You are a bystander, but you could become the next insider at any time. Calculate the cost of intervention carefully.]
Fei Yu finished reading all the rules before putting the white paper back into the document bag. There were few passengers on the ship. He looked around but didn't find any faces that resembled the ones in the information. "Are Shi Yu and Shen Que the only ones involved in this strange story?"
[Well, they are going through the pre-story just like you.]
Fei Yu agreed, and he tilted his head to look out the window at the calm sea, but his attention was not on appreciating the clear sea view outside. He was watching the barrage of comments that were discussing the new ghost story.
[Oh yeah, oh yeah, Far Cry is here! It doesn't matter who the murderer is! After all, anyone could be the murderer...! In that case, Xiaoyu, you should just stay in your room and don't go out. In a sense, it's actually quite safe.]
[Is our brother here? If he is, Xiaoyu, just stay hidden. It will be easy for the movie star brother to lead you.]
[Brother, don't think we don't recognize you! Changing your name and becoming the Surveillance Bureau means you really don't care about Xiaoyu anymore (crying, crying, crying) I won't believe it even if you kill me!]
I can't take it anymore. I can imagine what's going to happen next. Everyone is questioning each other and blaming each other. My brother directly controls the troublemaker with an expressionless face and pulls out a gun. Those who don't take advantage of the situation are quickly dragged out to feed the sharks.
[After I came back, my whole body was full of dom. What on earth did you do to the surveillance bureau? Why has my beautiful wife become even more charming? (wipes saliva)]
After reading it, Fei Yu felt that there was not much useful information. The focus of the barrage gradually shifted to other aspects, and the discussion was very miscellaneous, with very little actual content about ghost stories.
After getting off the boat, he walked towards the villa built on the coast not far away. A familiar figure flashed past the door. Fei Yu met the serious gaze and signaled the other party not to speak. He pointed to the other side and told the person to go to the backyard if he had anything to say.
Chen Que glanced towards the room. He knew that Fei Yu must be worried that Shi Yu was here too, so she closed the door halfway and followed him to the backyard where no one was there.
Fei Yu didn't waste any words and directly handed over the file bag in her hand, and then began to share information with him: "I'm a detective. The information of everyone who will be attending tonight is in here, including the owner of the villa."
"I'm investigating a murder case from many years ago, and the suspect is planning to attend this dinner. Coincidentally, the owner of the villa has also invited me, but I don't know this guy in the ghost story."
Shen Que opened the document bag. Hearing this, he said that he did not know the owner of the villa in the character information he accepted. "There is a problem, but since he doesn't know him, he normally wouldn't accept the invitation. Both of them are suspicious."
Feiyu also agreed. He had read the information before and knew that Shen Que's identity in this strange story was a lawyer, and Shi Yu was his assistant. "Have you discussed this with Xiaoyu?"
"Yes, but there is too little information at the moment." Shen Que returned the information to Fei Yu. He took out his phone, flipped through the unfamiliar text message that had not been deleted and showed it to him. "You have the same content, right?"
The first bloody incident in the villa will happen in the kitchen.
Feiyu nodded, "Who do you think it could be?"
Shen Que expressed his guess: "I guess it's the owner of the villa. He might not even attend this dinner, and maybe he's not dead at all. After all, if he faked his death, no one would blame him for the subsequent accidents."
Moreover, the text message only mentioned a bloody incident and did not indicate absolute death. Shen's accurate speculation was most likely true, and it sounded like he had watched a lot of suspense TV dramas recently.
"By the way, who is the suspect you mentioned?" Shen Que suddenly remembered what he had mentioned earlier and couldn't help but start to guess. "Could it be that the owner of the villa was bullied in the past and got plastic surgery to seek revenge?"
Feiyu didn't really care: "Whether it is or not doesn't matter. The specific events that happened have nothing to do with us, unless it involves the emergence of a consciousness. Our priority is to survive."
"Don't get involved. Even if someone actively kills someone out of suspicion, don't listen to their threats and clean up the bloodstains. This strange story can't be too simple. Your sanity might be affected later on. If you realize something's wrong, come to me immediately."
Fei Yu gave him a few instructions before turning around. He tilted his chin up and pointed in a certain direction through the glass in the first-floor lobby. "That's the suspect. He's a rich second-generation kid who's uneducated and uneducated. He should have been in jail for his crimes, but he ended up finding someone to take the blame and running away abroad."
The information didn't mention it so clearly, Shen Que raised an eyebrow, "Are you back because of this dinner?"
"It doesn't seem like it. I heard he got bored playing abroad and just came back to spend some time with his friends." Feiyu wasn't afraid of being seen talking by the people on the first floor. As long as Shiyu didn't see it, it would be fine. "Anyway, it must be related to the owner of the villa."
Shen Que didn't say anything. It was just the beginning, and there was nothing much to talk about regarding the ghost talk. He was more concerned about another thing. "Then how do you plan to face Shi Yu?"
Speaking of this, Fei Yu also had a headache. If he was treated too specially, the news would spread within the ghost story, and then the large-scale descending consciousness would definitely target Shi Yu. Besides, there would always be omissions.
"Let's talk about it later." Feiyu was too lazy to think about it. He just wanted to choose whatever he wanted as long as nothing happened. "Let's go in first. The dinner is about to start."
But Fei Yu did not go back with them. He went to the kitchen, where only two chefs were busy. He also met another person at the door. It was obvious that he also came to confirm the situation because of the content of the text message. However, most people still didn't care.
When their eyes met, Fei Yu recalled the information in the document. This person seemed to be a very famous doctor.
The person in front of him glanced at him, then quickly looked away and left. Fei Yu leaned against the door with his arms folded, watching the people inside busying themselves. He thought that he was probably going to become the most suspicious person tonight.
Even if he found something inappropriate and tried to stop it forcibly, it would only delay the arrival of the consciousness. Fei Yu had not originally planned to do that. He turned and walked towards the dining room.
Fei Yu, who arrived late, was the last one to take a seat. Carrying various gazes with different meanings, he sat in the only vacant seat opposite Chen Que.
Chen Que raised his eyes to look at Fei Yu, who looked calm, and glanced at Shi Yu, who was fiddling with his phone and didn't know what was going on. Instead, he felt an inexplicable pressure.
Shen Que hoped that this strange story would end quickly, and it would be even better if the consciousness could descend tonight.
"It seems like you two know each other?" The person on the other side of Shen Que obviously noticed something. The handsome young man started a conversation with interest. He smiled and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Feiyu."
Feiyu nodded indifferently without any extra response. The man just spread his hands out of habit, not caring about his reaction at all. "I heard you've been investigating me recently?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Feiyu didn't even blink. "Someone wants to reopen the case."
"Don't you know that I'm the one behind this? You can do the superficial work, but do you really want to send me in jail?" He sneered, as if he didn't think Fei Yu would do that, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"How much do you want?" he asked in a low voice. "I'll give you ten times the commission, and you'll stop after dinner. How about that?"
Fei Yu placed the silver knife and fork on the plate and raised his hand to indicate a number, "Twenty times."
As he finished speaking, he saw Chen Que opposite him giving him a thumbs-up in a blind spot from the people around him, while Shi Yu on the right was so scared that the cutlery in his hand fell on the table, as if he was shocked by his brother's behavior of abandoning his professional ethics and cheating others.
The rich second generation who made the offer was stunned. He smiled as expected when he heard Fei Yu's words. After all, most people would not refuse money unless the price was unattractive. "Okay, how about I give you some extra tips?"
But Fei Yu accepted it without saying a word.
But the dinner did not go smoothly. The butler came to the dining room in a panic and announced in a sad voice.
The host who prepared the dinner unfortunately met with an accident tonight and has passed away.
