Chapter 114 Rainy Night Hotel 5
Chi Rong noticed that Yu Nu stopped behind him, "What's wrong?"
The sky outside was dimly lit, and a faint light fell on Chi Rong's face, making his eyes look dark.
Yu Nu stood up quickly, "No, nothing."
Her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Yu Nu pretended to be calm, walked up quickly and squeezed a smile at Chi Rong, "Let's go down." As she said that, she was about to go down first.
But before she took half a step, Chi Rong suddenly grabbed Yu Nu's wrist.
"Xiao Niang, it's been so long, and you still haven't learned to hide your emotions," Chi Rong used his arms to pull her into his arms, and covered Yu Niang's mouth with one hand to prevent her from making any sound, "So stupid."
Yu Niang struggled, her shoes rustling on the floor, leaving many marks because of the dust on the floor.
Chi Rong dragged him around the study to the small living room, put her on the sofa, and easily restrained Yu Niang's hands with one hand.
"What did you see?"
Yu Niang's wrist was a little painful from being grabbed by Chi Rong, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. Chi Rong's expression became much uglier, and then he loosened his grip a little.
"...I didn't see anything," Yu Xi said quickly, staring at Chi Rong nervously, "You've searched everything, haven't you? How could I have known that you didn't find anything..."
Facing Chi Rong's increasingly dangerous expression, Yu Xi's voice became smaller and smaller.
"After not seeing you for a while, you've become so slick," Chi Rong snorted coldly, "Who did you learn this bad habit from?"
I don't need to tell you who you learned it from.
Yu Xi was unhappy because she was still angry because Chi Rong had lied to her, but now was obviously not the time to say that.
"Anyway, I don't know anything," Yu Xi glanced at her face and turned away from Chi Rong, "If you keep holding me here... Tan Lingqi and the others will come up."
"I suspect that you are a minor problem. If everyone starts to suspect you... you will be voted out in a while."
Hearing Tan Lingqi's name, Chi Rong's expression became impatient again, "You keep talking about him. You are so familiar with him after just one night with him?" He
spoke fiercely, but if you listened carefully, you could hear an inexplicable jealousy.
Tan Lingqi...
Chi Rong chewed on this name over and over in his heart, and felt more and more suspicious.
He didn't know this so-called Tan Lingqi at all, and he had never heard of this name before... Why did he feel so familiar when he said it now?
Not only that, every time Chi Rong saw Qin Lingqi, he would have a very strange feeling of rejection.
It was also because of this that Chi Rong had a natural aversion to Qin Lingqi.
Yu Nu looked at Chi Rong with a stern face, "Do you know me well? Why do you care who I am close to?"
Someone was walking on the Internet from the third floor, and the footsteps sounded muffled and hurried.
Yu Nu hurriedly pushed Chi Rong who was pressing on her body, trying to get him to get up, but Chi Rong didn't know what was going on. He didn't react to Yu Nu's push, and his dark eyes stared at him.
——Until Qin Lingqi walked over and opened the door, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.
The sky finally brightened, and Yu Nu could clearly see the fingerprints of Shen Lin on the side of Tan Lingqi's face.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Nu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and stuck her head around Chi Rong, "He bullied me!" Chi Rong
was so angry, "Who bullied you?"
"It was you!" Yu Nu said righteously, "You obviously know me, why did you pretend not to know me and lie to me?"
Tan Lingqi raised his eyebrows.
"I was just teasing you," Chi Rong said, "I didn't mean to bully you."
Yu Nu didn't listen to his excuses at all. She jumped off the sofa and ran behind Tan Lingqi. "You're lying. You were clearly trying to scare me just now."
Tan Lingqi put Yu Nu behind him, and his movements were very natural, as if he had done it countless times.
"Don't bully him."
His tone was very light, but Tan Lingqi didn't seem to be joking.
—— "Don't bully him."
On the school playground, Yu Nu was sunburned and her forehead was sweaty. She bent down and picked up the badminton on the ground with a grunt.
Then someone pulled her arm up.
The boy was wearing a senior school uniform. He held Yu Nuo behind him with one hand. His brows were hard and he looked straight at the boy who was dunking the ball. "Don't bully him."
The tone of his voice was almost the same.
Yu Nuo was stunned and thought hard for a while. Then he remembered who said this in his memory.
It was the neighbor brother. Chi Rong
sneered at Qin Lingqi's familiar look. "Mind your own business."
After saying that, he pushed Qin Lingqi's shoulder away and went downstairs.
Qin Lingqi was not angry at all. He looked down at Yu Nuo's dusty shoes and said, "Why did you make yourself so messy?"
As he said that, he squatted down and wiped the tip of Yu Nuo's shoes naturally.
This time Yu Nuo also noticed something wrong.
...When did he become so familiar with Qin Lingqi?
"Don't you doubt me now?" Yu Nu asked tentatively, "...Yesterday you said I was the murderer."
Qin Lingqi hummed. "
So you are the murderer?" Qin Lingqi asked casually, "Actually, I was lying before. I am not on the affirmative side, but on the negative side."
Yu Nu didn't believe it.
Now he felt that Qin Lingqi didn't tell the truth.
"If you were on the negative side, I would definitely vote you out," Yu Nu said viciously, "Don't even think about showing up alive in the dungeon tomorrow."
I don't know if it was because Yu Nu's expression was too cute when she said these harsh words, Qin Lingqi looked up and stared at him for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
[Players, please go to the lobby on the first floor to vote. ]
The time for the first vote has finally arrived.
Because of the reminder from the main system, Yu Xi realized belatedly that he had not found any key clues.
Except for the footprint on the fourth floor that seemed to be Chi Rong's, but this did not mean that Chi Rong was on the affirmative side. Instead, he was more likely to be on the negative side.
If Chi Rong was on the negative side, Yu Xi would be even less likely to vote for him.
When Qin Lingqi went downstairs with Yu Xi, the lobby was already full of five people.
"Did you find anything on the fourth floor?" Tan Lan asked.
Facing Tan Lan's expectant gaze, Yu Xi shook her head. Tan Lan was visibly disappointed.
"Sun Mei, Brother Wang and I didn't find anything either."
The light was sufficient during the day, and the hotel was much less scary than at night.
Shen Lin was still wearing a mask, and just after Tan Lan finished speaking, he suddenly said, "I went to Sun Mei's room."
The players were stunned for a moment.
Sun Mei frowned, "Why did you go to my room?"
"You were the only one in the room last night," Shen Lin said, "Some people have seen the thing crawling on the ground, and some have not, but in short, we can testify to each other because we are two people in a room."
He put his hands together and looked directly at Sun Mei, "But there is no proof of what you said."
Sun Mei was speechless for a moment, "You suspect me?"
Shen Lin neither nodded nor shook his head, "It's not a suspicion, it can only be said to be a reasonable guess, so I searched for you without telling you. "
Sun Mei was about to get angry and interrupt, Tan Lan quickly asked: "What did you find?"
Shen Lin: "There are large bloodstains on the floor of Sun Mei's room, and the bloodstains are basically the same type as those on the floors of Chi Rong and Qin Lingqi's rooms."
Chi Rong and Qin Lingqi's rooms were both entered by crawling monsters last night, and the bloodstains on the floor were left by the monsters, and Sun Mei's room also had the same traces, which means that a crawling monster also entered Sun Mei's room last night.
But Sun Mei herself said that no monster had entered the room.
"I really haven't seen the thing crawling on the ground that you said," Sun Mei said anxiously, "I slept very soundly last night, and I really didn't know that thing had entered my room."
Shen Lin was unmoved and continued, "Then how do you explain that the monster was ready to kill people in their rooms, but was discovered in time and failed, while the monster in your room did not take advantage of the situation?" What about your plan to attack you in your sleep?"
Sun Mei was speechless, "How do I know why that ghost thing didn't attack me?"
Seeing people around her looking at her, Sun Mei closed her eyes and tried to soften her tone, "I know that anything I say now will sound like quibbling, so I just want to say one thing, I hope you can vote carefully, after all, it's the first time to vote, don't just vote out your teammates."
"Now except Shen Lin, none of you have other evidence to prove that I am the opposing party."
Sun Mei finished speaking, and the first floor fell into silence for a while.
[Please start voting.]
Voting is anonymous.
After the last player made his choice, Yu Mu's eyes flashed with white light, and then the voting results popped up:
[Sun Mei: 3]
[Shen Lin: 3]
[One person abstained from voting this time, and no one was eliminated]
Sun Mei's clenched hands slowly loosened, "You took the initiative to identify me, and now both of us are key suspects."
"Who knows if the two of you are wolf-eat-wolf," Brother Wang said with a sigh, "You can jump out and identify in the first round... What if you colluded with Shen Lin in advance and let him eliminate you first to gain our trust?"
Tan Lan thought thoughtfully, "It's hard to really confirm the identity in the first round. I think our focus should be on the thing that crawled at night."
"Finding it and, preferably, confirming its identity will be helpful for the investigation."
Because Sun Mei's identity was in doubt, the room arrangement for the next night was a 223 structure, and Sun Mei was assigned to Chi Rong and Wang Ge's room.
Perhaps because of the setting of the script, the flow of time during the day is much faster than normal time. After the discussion was over and the meal was over, it was already dark outside.
This setting made it difficult for them to search the hotel during the day, and the main search time could only be at night.
Just when Yu Zhen was lying on the bed and preparing to go to sleep, the main system suddenly sounded a task reminder:
[Please find the crime scene of that year tonight and destroy the clues]
Yu Zhen suddenly lost all sleepiness.
In order to prevent the crawling monster from appearing again at night, Qin Lingqi had locked the doors and windows before. Now it was quiet outside, but Yu Nu could see the dark sky outside through the window.
It was going to rain.
Yu Nu carefully turned to look at Qin Lingqi, who seemed to have fallen asleep completely, with his hands on his chest, and his long eyelashes shining a little in the weak light.
Qin Lingqi's sleeping posture was completely different from Yu Nu's. He was very quiet.
"...Qin Lingqi?"
Yu Nu crawled out from the quilt, went to Qin Lingqi's ear and muttered, "Qin Lingqi, are you asleep?"
Qin Lingqi didn't move at all, and didn't react at all.
Because of the mistake she made before, Yu Zhen is now particularly worried about this kind of thing, and for a moment she is thinking about whether to go out.
It was still System 08 who comforted her: [You are definitely not the only one going out to explore tonight, so it’s okay even if he finds out that you sneaked out.]
Okay.
Yu Zhen no longer cared about the sleeping Qin Lingqi, and quietly slipped out of the bed, unlocked the door quietly and walked out.
The crime scene... is the bathroom where the murderer was killed and the body was dismembered.
Because he got the identity of the murderer, the main system provided Yu Zhen with extra convenience to help him find the crime scene and destroy the clues before other players.
Looking at the coordinates given by the system, Yu Xi slightly widened her eyes, "... Is there a B floor in this hotel?"
No wonder they didn't see any other guest rooms after searching from the second floor to the fourth floor. It turned out that they were currently in the A floor.
The B floor was the real hotel back then.
[The main entrance of this building faces the opposite side of the highway,] System 08 said, [So when you walked in from the main entrance on the highway, you would be in Building A instead of Building B.] "
But no one found the entrance to Building B yesterday," Yu Xi went up to the third floor, then turned a corner and went to the fourth floor, "Why?"
[Maybe Building B was sealed with cement after the case happened, and the originally connected Buildings AB of the hotel were separated.]
[But since the main system told you the location of the crime scene, there must be an entrance to Building B.]
The coordinates show that the crime scene was on the fifth floor.
The fifth floor of Building A was sealed with an iron door, and they have not found the key yet.
Yu Xi returned to the fourth floor.
"...The location shown above is right above your head."
Yu Nu stared at the small red dot on the system and looked up at the ceiling for a while.
It was right above his head.
A blinding white light suddenly flashed outside the window, and Yu Nu closed his eyes subconsciously, and then there was a thunderclap.
A heavy rain came suddenly.
With the help of the light of lightning, Yu Nu moved around the sofa, tables and chairs in the living room, walked around the location shown by the red coordinates, and saw a painting on the wall.
Perhaps due to years of disrepair, the painting was hung crookedly on the wall, revealing a dark gap.
Yu Nu saw the secret passage blocked by the painting.
There were thunder and rain sounds in his ears. Yu Nu hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the painting and walked up along the secret passage.
The secret passage was a cement staircase. When you walked in, you could smell a strong moldy smell and a strong smell of rust.
It was really too dark.
Yu Nu could hear her own heartbeat. It was pitch black in front of her eyes. She used all her strength to take every step.
On the fifth floor, she arrived at the guest bathroom.
This secret passage leads directly to the guest bathroom. One can imagine what kind of dark and dirty ideas the designer had in mind when he created such a path to spy on the privacy of the guests.
But it was different from what Yu Nu thought. He had just walked out of the secret passage and saw a candle lit in the bathroom not far away through a small door.
Two more steps in, there was a harsh sound of machine roaring.
Yu Nu looked up with a pale face and saw a tall man holding a saw in the blood-stained bathroom.
