Meiru Z didn't understand what the two were talking about, so she asked, "What are you talking about? Why does he look like a fool who has been deceived?"

Qiao actually put down the tools he was using to steal the root vegetables and planned to search for relevant laws.

Chu Qianli said magnanimously: "It's okay, my friend. You don't understand these things. We won't report you."

Qiao said gratefully: "...I will pay attention to it in the future."

Tan Muxing couldn't bear to see his foreign friend being amused, so he quickly took Chu Qianli aside to make room for Qiao to occupy the snacks.

Mei Ru Z greeted the two of them, the bell on her wrist rang, and she also went to the side to tell fortunes.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were walking around in the corridor on the third floor. They only talked to Qiao for a few words, and A, who was in the corner just now, disappeared.

There were not many people in the corridor at the moment. The two of them listened carefully and caught a faint sound of wind, but they didn't know where it came from.

Chu Qianli looked through all the rooms on the third floor. She stroked her chin thoughtfully and said, "Just like last night, I can't find the location of the other murder."

Joe said that a dark ritual had taken place on the third floor, but they couldn't find the exact location.

"Should we check all the rooms?" Tan Muxing looked around and asked in embarrassment, "There is no map here either."

Chu Qianli was surprised and asked, "Do you still need a map for a house like this?"

Tan Muxing was startled and said hesitantly: "Then... there should be..."

"That's something that only people who live in a compound would encounter. They can get lost in their own home and need a map!" Chu Qianli teased subconsciously, but suddenly reacted and muttered, "...map? Feng Shui?"

Tan Muxing saw her suddenly run to the window and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Chu Qianli stood on the third floor and looked around, but found that it was getting dark outside the window, and he could no longer see the layout of the villas on the hill in the distance. He asked, "Xingxing, we went around the place the day before yesterday. Do you remember the location of each building?"

"I seem to have an impression." Tan Muxing followed Professor Pan and others to participate in the project. He was used to taking notes while watching, so he simply took out his mobile phone to draw, "I'll draw it."

"This is the lobby. We live in Xinheju, then there is Huolingju, and this is Xianheju..."

Tan Muxing made a rough sketch beside him, while Chu Qianli observed the location of the stars. She had not felt it when she lived in Xinheju, but now she found that the view of stargazing in Tingfengxiyulou was good. The stars in the sky just corresponded to the buildings on the ground, forming a complex formation.

Feng shui masters can observe the stars to guide people in better construction and living, but some people will use this method to do some absurd and bizarre things to satisfy their own fantastic, cruel and evil ideas.

Chu Qianli felt that the villa area was strange when she moved in. It was as if Feng Shui was not taken into consideration at all. It was not a suitable layout for living. Instead, it seemed like a place where yin gathered and did not allow the dead to rest in peace.

The two men came down from the third floor and walked through the lobby on the first floor, wanting to observe outside.

Shi Zhuoqu was sitting next to the transparent box. When he saw Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were about to leave, he quickly called them over and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you two going to take the exam?"

In Shi Zhuoqu's opinion, the two were troublemakers who needed special attention. They had changed the subsequent selection rules by their own efforts, and now no one knew what they were going to do next.

Chu Qianli waved his hands casually: "Xiao Shi, don't panic, we'll just hang around the door, no need to report to your leader."

Shi Zhuoqu was skeptical, but he couldn't leave his post, so he had to send someone to keep an eye on them. He found that the two were indeed just wandering around the entrance of Tingfengxiyu Building.

Under the boundless night sky, the lights in Tingfengxiyu Building were on brightly, making the undulating hills not far away seem dim. There was only a little inconspicuous light in the dimness.

Chu Qianli compared the sketch drawn by Tan Muxing, looked up at the starry sky, and said thoughtfully: "I think I know where the murder took place on the third floor."

"Shall we go back?" Tan Muxing looked back, "But there are more people on the third floor."

Before we knew it, the third floor became lively and the crowd in front of the elevator gradually dwindled.

Chu Qianli shook her head: "I can't find it even if I go back now. It's hidden somewhere invisible."

Tan Muxing asked curiously, "So what do we do next?"

"Let's go! Hand in the papers!" Chu Qianli said excitedly, "I didn't even dare to hand in the college entrance examination papers early. Finally, I've reached the field I'm good at."

Shi Zhuoqu witnessed the two people coming back from outside to get the papers. Chu Qianli and the others did not go upstairs at all. They just strolled around outside and started writing the answers with a big pen. No one knew what outdoor walking had to do with the haunted house puzzle.

Tan Muxing watched Chu Qianli write the answer with ease. He quietly pulled her aside, away from Shi Zhuoqu's sight for a while, and said weakly: "I just found a problem now."

Chu Qianli blinked: "What?"

Tan Muxing was confused and said, "I don't know anything about metaphysics, how did I pass the primary election?"

Mei Ru Z was exempted from the test thanks to the baby stone props, Chu Qianli got the position by defeating the examiner, but after Tan Muxing accompanied her in a scene in the examination room, she inexplicably made it to the second round of screening!

Shi Zhuoqu and others were initially restrained by Chu Qianli, firstly because they realized that she was indeed powerful, and secondly because they were afraid that Mei Ru Z would be taken away and the Sanqing Bell as a key would be affected. They tacitly assumed that Tan Muxing was also powerful, but naturally they did not expect that he did not understand metaphysics.

Chu Qianli was right in criticizing Lin and others for the chaotic selection process. Tan Muxing didn’t even understand how he got in.

"If you don't know, then you don't know. It's no big deal." Chu Qianli generously stuffed the answer sheet into his arms, "This one is for you. Just hand it in and I'll write another one."

The name on the question paper was Tan Muxing's. He was slightly stunned after reading it. Unexpectedly, she wrote her name first. He hesitated and said, "Is this okay? Isn't it said that people with detailed information should also explain it?"

Tan Muxing still remembered that only those with complete information could enter the conference room. If he handed in the answer she wrote, wouldn't he be squeezing out other people's seats?

"But after the second round of presentations, only the first place in the vote will receive the badge, which means that the rest of the people who enter the conference room will be treated no differently than those outside." Chu Qianli argued, "This is just like the VIP tickets to the concert, which only allow you to watch the stars up close."

"What are you watching?"

Chu Qianli said confidently: "Watch me win the championship in the end, and then cheer me on from the sidelines!"

"...Have you already accepted that you are number one?"

"Then who else?" Chu Qianli raised his chin proudly, "Who else can it be?"

Tan Muxing was silent for a few seconds, then he turned around and tried to get the test paper: "Otherwise I'll just write one myself."

Chu Qianli refused immediately. She quickly grabbed Tan Muxing and wanted to throw herself on the floor. She cried, "No, no, I want Xingxing to watch me win in person. I finally have the chance to beat up my peers... no, this is an academic competition! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Chu Qianli stared at Tan Muxing expectantly, which made him feel awkward. He didn't quite understand her mentality. He always felt that she was like some of her schoolmates who loved playing basketball in school. Once someone passed by the court, they would dunk like crazy to show off their superb basketball skills.

Tan Muxing hesitated and said, "This..."

Chu Qianli sobbed: "Wuwuwu, I have copied so much of Xingxing's homework before, and I have always been thinking about how to repay you. I finally let you copy mine this time, but you are unwilling to give me even such a small opportunity..."

"…There's no need to be so grateful."

Tan Muxing finally handed in the paper written by Chu Qianli. It might be because she had been bragging about being the best in the world for too long, and now she couldn't wait to prove that what she said was true, so she insisted on dragging him to watch the game up close.

After a while, all the candidates handed in their answers. Shi Zhuoqu and others selected ten people and notified them to go to the conference room to prepare for the second round of presentations. At the same time, they informed everyone about the past cases of Tingfeng Xiyulou.

"Thirteen years ago, a wealthy businessman named Fang spent a lot of money to buy this villa area, and lived in Tingfengxiyu Building with his then-wife Zhang. Due to Fang's busy work, his wife Zhang lived here for a longer time, but she accidentally fell down the elevator atrium on a rainy night and died."

"The details of this case have not been made public, but when the group purchased the villa complex from Fang, they learned some of the circumstances at the time and used this information to select 10 people who fit the case," Shi Zhuoqu added. "The surveillance video showed that Zhang was panicking in the building at the time. He ignored the danger and slammed the elevator door. He stepped on the empty space before the elevator arrived and eventually fell to his death."

"However, there were no outsiders or criminals in the Tingfeng Xiyu Building that day. Even the nannies did not notice anything unusual. They only discovered the tragedy when they heard the loud noise. The police suspected that Zhang was in a bad mental state at the time because she was taking some special drugs. The rainy night made her hallucinate and caused her to fall to death."

Tan Muxing seemed to have realized something. He had read the test paper written by Chu Qianli, and a lot of the information was consistent with the facts.

The deceased was a female, thirteen years ago, she was in the elevator on a rainy night, her spouse was wealthy but away from home all year round, she often suffered from insomnia or mental illness, basically the same as what Shi Zhuoqu said.

Chu Qianli even speculated that the deceased in the elevator was surnamed Zhang, and somehow he got this correct as well.

"Please ask those whose numbers are displayed on the screen to go to the conference room and prepare for the second round of presentations."

Tan Muxing looked at the information on the screen. He saw the numbers of the two people and said, "But they didn't mention the other murder case."

Chu Qianli: "Most people think that one is good enough, and the second one is an advanced challenge."

The two met Meiru Z at the door of the conference room. When they walked in together, they found that the room was almost full. The others had already chosen their seats, leaving only three people who were still waiting to take their seats.

Chu Qianli's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he muttered, "This seat is not very good..."

On the left side of the conference table are candidates numbered 1-5, including a strange white woman, the spirit Huang Jue, the British panda gentleman A, Qiao, and a strange gypsy-style woman. On the right side are candidates numbered 6-10, including two Taoists from the Qian Sect, and there are empty seats next to them.

Meiru Z didn't want to sit next to the Taoist priest, so she chose seat 10, facing the smiling gypsy female squatter.

The other party greeted with a smile: "Hello, I'm Lilith."

Mei Ru Z was not good at chatting in this environment, so she said stiffly: "...What should I say?"

"Hello!" Chu Qianli replied on behalf of Mei Ru Z, and then sighed, "Sister Ru Z, you really don't make many friends."

After saying hello, Lilith turned around and talked to Qiao. The two seemed to know each other. No wonder she greeted Chu Qianli and others.

Huang Jue probably didn't want to sit with the Taoists. Now he was surrounded by a group of foreigners, which made him stand out.

Tan Muxing sat at seat 8 and Chu Qianli sat at seat 9. The meeting officially began after they sat down.

"Now it's the second round of presentations. The translator will relay what you said, and the candidates outside the venue can also watch this session. We will start from number 1."

The white woman got the signal, she spoke calmly, "Hello everyone, my name is Luo Ya, I am a psychic, I have just communicated with the soul of the dead, this is a cursed house, not only will the people who live here die, but we who come to investigate the truth will also encounter misfortune..."

Luo Ya's eyes turned cold. She looked around and said sternly, "I'm afraid the next person to be killed will be one of you here!"
