They followed Xie Qixian to the room of the eliminated maid to look for clues, but as soon as they entered, they were shocked by the scene in the room.
Lu Fengcheng: "When we came here before, this room was not like this."
At this moment, a disgusting smell filled the room. The windows were nailed shut with wooden boards, making it impossible for air to get in.
The room was also in a mess, with broken objects and various unknown debris scattered everywhere.
There was a rusty iron chain tied to the wall, long enough to restrain an adult, and it looked like it was obviously used for tying people up.
On the doors and windows, shocking bloody scratches crisscrossed each other, as if telling of the horrific struggle and desperate resistance that had once taken place here.
The ground was in a horrible state, stained with blood, and even mixed with feces, urine and other filth, emitting a foul stench.
In the corner, there was an old and rusty basin containing some moldy leftovers. It was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Looking at this scene, anyone can see at a glance that this is simply a cell used to imprison people.
Xie Qi endured the pungent smell, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and stepped into the room cautiously. He looked around and asked, "What did this room look like before?"
Wang Qi, who was standing nearby, replied solemnly, "It's just like an ordinary rental house, and quite clean."
At this time, Li Ze also frowned, staring at the various details in the room with confusion, and suddenly said: "The clues seem to be constantly refreshing."
Xie Qi: "We haven't been able to find many useful clues before, maybe because these clues haven't been updated yet."
Wang Qi heard this and couldn't help but feel suspicious: "According to what you said, does it mean that the condition for refreshing is that someone is eliminated?"
Xie Qi shook his head and said solemnly, "We can't be sure yet, but we can't rule out this possibility. So it's best for everyone to search for clues again. It's also unclear if this is only happening in the maid's room."
After hearing this, the others looked at each other, then turned around without hesitation and ran to other places, starting to look for new clues separately.
After all, time is running out, every minute and every second is crucial, and there is no room for delay.
After everyone else left, only Xie Qi stayed in the maid's room to look for clues alone.
Xie Qi opened the wardrobe in the room and found only a black and red dress inside.
He turned his head and looked at the desk that had fallen to the ground. The books on it were scattered and the drawers of the cabinets were thrown on the ground. Xie Qi looked at the drawers that had fallen to the ground.
Then he kicked it and a notebook appeared from under the cabinet.
The notebook was very torn and rotten in many places. Xie Qi picked it up and opened it to take a look, and found that it was an account book.
I have been keeping accounts every day since January 23, and all of them are wages paid at the villa and some daily expenses.
However, after January 4, XX, no further records were kept.
Xie Qi remembered that the maid's resignation letter was dated January 4, XX. If the maid had not resigned, she would have continued to work in the villa, but now the maid no longer keeps accounts.
That means the maid was imprisoned after handing in her resignation letter.
Then Xie Qi came to the deceased's room again. As soon as he arrived, he saw Lu Fengcheng there.
Lu Fengcheng saw Xie Qi coming and looked up and asked, "Are there many clues in the maid's room?"
Xie Qi: "Not much, I just found an account book."
Xie Qi walked over and saw something on the table: "Is this refreshed?"
Lu Fengcheng: "It should be here now. I searched the room for a long time and apart from these, I have searched everywhere else."
Xie Qi picked up a photo on the table. The photo showed a headless corpse of a female, and the corpse was holding a piece of meat in her hand. If Xie Qi was not mistaken, the piece in her hand should be her tongue.
The female corpse should have been wearing a white skirt, but the white skirt was stained red with blood.
There is also an electronic calendar in the lower left corner of the photo, and the time is July 2, XX24.
Xie Qi frowned and stared at the photo.
Seeing Xie Qi's grim expression, Lu Fengcheng couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?"
Xie Qi looked up at him and said, "I need to confirm it."
Xie Qi said this and turned to go towards the maid's room. Seeing this, Lu Fengcheng immediately followed him.
Xie Qi came to the maid's room, opened the wardrobe, took out the red skirt and looked at it carefully. The style of the skirt was exactly the same as in the photo, except for the color.
Xie Qi touched the fabric with his hand, and sure enough, it was not a black and red skirt at all, but a skirt completely stained with blood.
Lu Fengcheng looked at Xie Qi in surprise: "Are you saying that the person in the photo is a maid?"
Xie Qi: "I'm not sure. The person in the photo died a long time ago, even earlier than the owner of this villa. If it was a maid, then the maid is definitely not the murderer. I don't understand why a maid character was added."
The purpose of this game is to find the murderer. If the maid died before the master of the house, then this character would definitely not exist.
At this moment, the bell rang again. An hour had passed.
Lu Fengcheng: "Let's go over there first and see if there are any clues from others."
Then everyone came to the discussion room again.
Xie Qi and Lu Fengcheng first told others what they had discovered.
Others have also clearly observed that scene cues are refreshing.
