Chapter 42: Death in Substitute (1/2)



Chapter 42: Death in Place

Everyone is now gathered in the living room, and everyone has a grim look on their face.

Zou Yunshu came out of the basement and said,

"I went to the basement to check, and sure enough, there was a meat grinder, a large one, and there were traces left on it. The murderer didn't try to cover it up at all."

Everyone: ...

"No, if it was a machine, the sound would be very loud, why didn't we feel it?"

Yu Jieqi couldn't help but ask.

"Did you just notice?"

Cen Yueyue yawned, threw the disposable gloves into the trash can, and then began to wash her hands continuously.

"Shouldn't you have sensed it since the first crime? Every time the murderer committed a crime, he acted as if no one was around. Do you really think it was because the murderer was lucky or had a secret passage?"

Everyone tilted their heads, confused.

"I guess we were all drugged and would fall asleep after a while, except for the victims."

Everyone: ...

"So, the murderer doesn't need a secret passage at all. He always opens the door and kills people openly because we won't wake up. No matter how loud the noise is, we won't wake up."

Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't you think you guys are sound asleep every night? You're sleeping too well, aren't you? Logically, we should be too frightened to sleep, but that's not the case. I've never heard anyone complain that they couldn't sleep."

No one had dark circles under their eyes and everyone had a good night's sleep.

This is not consistent with the human response of fear of the unknown.

Every time Cen Yueyue wanted to stay up late, she would eventually fall asleep.

"But how did the murderer drug us?"

Cen Yueyue spread her hands.

"Who knows? Anyway, we are all caught in the trap."

No, this is horrible.

"What should we do? If it's really like you said, the murderer can kill whoever he wants. We've all been drugged anyway, so won't we be at the mercy of others?"

Cen Yueyue washed her hands and began to wipe them carefully with a tissue.

"Don't say that when you are sober, you won't be slaughtered. Whether you are sober or not, the murderer will always find a way to kill you. You might as well just accept it."

But……

At this time, Zou Yunshu asked,

"You just said that, except for the victim, we were all drugged. You mean, the dead were all conscious when they died."

Isn't this obvious?

Cen Yueyue spread her hands and said,

"Because this is revenge. Since the murderer wants revenge, of course he would choose to let the victim face the fear of death soberly, which is more in line with the murderer's psychology."

But how the drug was administered is unknown.

"Strange, where is the note this time?"

Dongfang Yuming looked at the body parts but didn't dare to dig them out.

"Yes, the note!"

Then everyone remembered, isn’t there a note every time someone dies? But this time...do we have to open every body bag and take a look?

This is simply torture.

"Here it is."

Cen Yueyue said this and closed the refrigerator door.

There was a sticky note on the refrigerator door with four words written on it: Bloody Mary.

“Bloody Mary?”

What's this?

cocktail?

"I know."

Xie Erlan leaned against the wall with a pale face, as if he had finally vomited everything out, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s my favorite wine.”

Everyone: ...

Kill Xie Erlan's assistant, and then give Xie Erlan's favorite cocktail as a hint?

"This murderer is targeting me, it must be! He is coming for me."

She said, biting her lip, the assistant was the poor person implicated by her.
