Chapter 117 Rainy Night Hotel 8
The photo has turned yellow, and the background seems to be the backyard of a building. Because of the fading, only a few tall trees can be vaguely seen behind the group photo.
Six people in hospital gowns are standing in the middle. Although the photo is not very clear, it can be clearly identified that these six people are them. The one
standing in the middle is Yu Yu, and the nurse standing next to the six people is Sun Mei.
Because the photo was generated by the main system, it can be clearly seen that the expressions of the seven people are very stiff, which looks a little weird against the background of the building.
Brother Wang looked around, "Look at the background of the photo, it is clearly the hotel we are in now."
But the hotel in the photo is obviously much more beautiful, with a layer of dark green vines climbing on the red bricks, and the steps have been carefully swept.
With a sudden heartbeat, Yu Xi subconsciously glanced at Qin Lingqi beside her.
Hospital gowns, nurses... and an even older hotel.
——It corresponds to the Qiushan Nursing Home mentioned in the letter.
In other words, the identities obtained by the seven players are not just guests who accidentally broke into the hotel due to heavy rain many years later, but they were actually treated as patients in the Qiushan Nursing Home.
The patients who were in the Qiushan Nursing Home together at that time, by chance, gathered again in the hotel that had been renovated and abandoned many years later.
And in between, there was a murder case that has not been solved yet.
Yu Xi frowned, put her hands back into her pockets, and touched the small note she had just put in.
Before leaving, Chi Rong slipped him a small note. Because the movement was very small and he was talking at the time, Qin Lingqi didn't see it.
Yu Xi still hasn't had the chance to read the contents of the note.
... Could it be what he said, and could it prove that he was the evidence of the opposing party?
Qin Lingqi's expression remained unchanged, as if he had no reaction to the photo. However, Tan Lan, who had been listening, suddenly took the photo from Brother Wow, looked down for a while, then looked up at Yu Nuan. In the dim light, there seemed to be a strange expression on the corner of his mouth, "Hmm... Xiao Nuan, it's strange to say, did you see? Your position in the middle of the photo."
Not only in the middle, except for Sun Mei, who was a nurse, the five people all surrounded Yu Nuan, with their bodies clearly leaning towards the middle and standing in two rows, facing the camera with a stiff smile.
Especially Chi Rong, who was standing next to her, was particularly close to Yu Nuan, and their hands were even held together.
Standing behind Yu Nan were Tan Lingqi and Shen Lin. Shen Lin put one hand on Yu Nan's shoulder, while Tan Lingqi blocked most of the space around her with an irresistible and powerful posture.
Although it was still night, Yu Nan still felt Tan Lan's gaze as if it were real.
Chi Rong coughed, "So we actually knew each other before? When was this photo taken?"
But his attempt to change the subject was obviously unsuccessful.
"You should know that, right?" Tan Lan raised his eyebrows, "...From the photos, it's obvious that you are very familiar with Xiao Nan."
He called her Xiao Nan all the time, which made Chi Rong frown, but he couldn't say anything.
"I don't know, in fact, everyone in this photo is familiar with Yu Zhen, right? Tan Lan, aren't you standing next to Yu Zhen in the photo? What is your relationship with Yu Zhen?"
Tan Lan finally stopped asking, spread his hands and shook his head.
After being tortured by them, Yu Zhen's back was covered with cold sweat. She could only imitate Tan Lingqi and pretend to be stupid. When others asked about the photo, she just showed a blank expression. Shen
Lin stood in the corner with a mask on from beginning to end, and didn't say a word. The daytime passed quickly. Taking advantage of the lunch break, Yu Zhen was finally able to get rid of Tan Lingqi and quietly went to the bathroom to read the note. The note was crumpled, and when Yu Nuo unfolded it, she saw another small note inside. The small note was a diagnosis certificate issued by the hospital. Because it was torn off, Yu Nuo could only see the diagnosis result and the patient's name on it. ——Patient: Chi Rong, male, 25 years old ——Diagnosis: Schizophrenia Yu Nuo's eyes widened. So Chi Rong is set as a mental patient? ...It's too coincidental, right? Chi Rong's character is a mental patient, and the hotel owner in the story also killed the female tenant who came to stay on a rainy night because of mental illness. Her heart beat violently, and Yu Nuo looked serious, and unfolded another note. It can't be called a "note" to be precise, but more like a harder postcard. Because it was folded so hard, a lot of crumbs fell off after it was unfolded, and the handwriting on it is a little unclear. On the front of the postcard is a photo of Yu Zhen and Chi Rong. Like the previous photo, this photo was obviously synthesized by the system. The smiles of the two people in the photo are very stiff, and they are still wearing hospital gowns, but the background has changed from the backyard to a room. Chi Rong was kissing Yu Zhen's face, but Yu Zhen in the photo just smiled slightly with her lips curled, and there was not much reaction. On the back of the postcard was a line of blurred handwriting. ——"I love you." Yu Zhen suddenly realized. So the identity that Chi Rong got in this copy is his...boyfriend? Why does it feel wrong. Yu Zhen turned the postcard over again and stared at the photo carefully for a long time. Chi Rong was very affectionate in the photo, but Yu Yan's reaction was indifferent. If they were really in a relationship, such a reaction would inevitably be a bit too cold. Yu Yan, full of questions, wanted to find another opportunity to ask Chi Rong, but everyone was together until the evening. "Now we only got such a little clue..." Brother Wang scratched his hair painfully, "This shouldn't be the case." Tan Lan's eyes swept over everyone one by one, "Someone must have hidden the clues."
"What we can be sure of now is that Sun Mei, who has been eliminated, is the one crawling on the ground at night, and I guess the reason why she crawled on the ground with twisted limbs is because she was the victim of the dismemberment case and her limbs were chopped off, so after death she had to transform into a guest and come to the hotel again to seek revenge."
"According to this logic, whose room she appeared in on the first night means that the murderer is there."
Chi Rong snorted coldly, "She went to two rooms, so according to you, the four of us are the murderer?"
"Of course not," Tan Lan seemed not to hear Chi Rong's provocation, and continued, "But it is likely that one of the four of you is the one."
Yu Xi moved back.
Fortunately, the night was dark and the candlelight was dim, so no one could see the guilty expression on his face.
But there is still a problem.
Yu Xi looked at Chi Rong next to her.
...Sun Mei was killed by the hotel owner, the man with the electric saw he met at night.
But he was not the murderer of Sun Mei?
Why did the system say he was the "murderer"?
