After some inspection, Xin Susu asked Chen Wei to find some newspapers. Everyone sat on the open road with paper cushions, forming an incomplete circle, like a meeting of ancient wizards. In the center of the circle lay the plastic female mannequin. From the miserable shape to the unnaturally spread limbs, it looks like a corpse about to be sacrificed.
"Then the meeting will officially begin now..."
Xin Susu tapped her high heels on the model a few times and pushed it toward the center of the circle. What she said before was true. Several holes were pierced through the model's chest and abdomen by the 18-centimeter heel.
Against the backdrop of the miserable-looking model, Xin Susu's expression became even more gloomy.
She drawled: "The court is in session! The trial has begun—who did it?"
Naturally, no one acknowledged it verbally. Only the night wind blew around them. The sound of the wind gradually increased and became chaotic, like a subtle and monotonous singing.
"Dabin?"
"not me."
"Xiao Zhou?"
Zhou Yu shook his head.
Xin Susu looked at them for a while, then slowly moved her gaze to the last participant: "Mu Mu?"
"Hehe..." Zhang Mumu laughed like a fool, and at least half of his laughter was covered by the wind.
"Did you lie and cheat?"
"No." Zhang Mumu nodded and said, "It's a ghost."
"You're a ghost. There was nothing wrong with Qiao'er and the others before. Why did it happen to you only? If there is a ghost, it's the mole among the three of you. Hurry up and confess it to yourself!"
Xin Susu looked at them back and forth.
Although he had some suspicions about who the perpetrator was, Zhou Yu remained silent. Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Chen Wei suddenly said: "Isn't this wrong, Sister Su Su?"
"What? Do you think this was done by ghosts?"
"No, what I mean is that the game is played by four people. In other words, all four people are suspected. The person who cheated could also be you, Sister Susu."
"You are saying such slanderous words about senior again. Why should I cheat?"
"That's hard to say. Isn't the essence of the psychic game the pursuit of scary fun? And you took off your high heels in the house, right?"
Xin Susu waved her hands impatiently and said, "I told you it's for self-defense, and it's not convenient to run in these shoes."
"Is it really for self-defense instead of covering up the sound of your footsteps? The movement of high heels is very obvious. If you want to cheat, you can't take them off, right?"
"You said that, isn't Xiao Zhou also suspicious? She walks like a cat and can't hear anything."
"Because Xiao Zhou is a newcomer, and this kind of thing is usually done by old people. Didn't you pretend to be a ghost the same way last time you played Bloody Mary?"
"Then Dabin also has a criminal record, right? Didn't he pretend to be fucked when he was playing Mirror Ghost? A big man with a strong back and a strong waist, combing his hair and ogling him with his orchid fingers raised?"
As the two of them talked to each other, they almost went over everyone's old accounts. Seeing that the old people's faces were all dull, Chen Wei finally said: "Then Sister Su Su, as proof, please expose the soles of your feet."
"What are you doing? It's so cold, are you perverted?" Xin Susu folded her arms and frowned.
"Just looking for evidence. There are a lot of mirror fragments on the ground at the back of the clothing store. I had picked up the large ones before, but I didn't care about the ones that were too small and broken. According to what you said, it was after Xiao Zhou died. You took off your high heels. In other words, the location is on the outside corner of the store away from the door. There are no mirror chips there. If there are any on your feet, it only means that you have already taken off your shoes and moved back and forth between the two inner corners. ——Come on, Sister Susu, show your soles and the truth will be revealed."
"Then just watch it for me." Xin Susu said bitterly, changed her sitting position, and reluctantly stretched out her slender legs underneath her.
She was wearing black stockings. Although they were stained with dust and did not look dirty, bright white things like mirror chips would be clearly visible.
"how?"
Probably to avoid suspicion, Chen Wei turned his face when Xin Susu stretched out his feet, looked in the direction of the street and asked. The howling of the wind there was particularly obvious, and it could even be said that it sounded a little crazy.
"There is no mirror debris as you mentioned." Zhou Yu answered his question.
"Oh, Detective Chen, what should we do?"
"It's strange, isn't it really you?"
Chen Wei turned his face back. After being ridiculed by Xin Susu for a while, the two of them looked at Cen Bin together.
"...Don't look at me, I've never done it."
Cen Bin avoided Xin Susu's gaze and spoke with a slightly stiff tone. Although he usually speaks freely, he seems to be a little restrained when facing Xin Susu.
"Not guilty." Chen Wei clapped his hands and concluded.
"Junior, did you rely on your intuition to solve the case by betting on grandpa's name?"
"Senior, don't be weird. I don't have detective intuition, but Dabin is my roommate after all, and I'm very familiar with the way he lies. Besides, he is the least motivated of the four of you, because if you do this, you will be punished. It’s a bloody lesson, right?”
"You are just saying this to protect your brother, and it is not considered valid evidence."
Even though she said that, Xin Susu still looked away from Cen Bin. Only two suspects remain.
"Xiao Zhou? Mu Mu?"
Xin Susu took her high heels and knocked on the ground twice: "If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be stern!"
"It's a ghost who did it! ... It's a cold wind ghost!" Zhang Mumu nodded seriously.
"Is it the troublemaker possessing you?"
Zhang Mumu started to giggle again and leaned towards Xin Susu, trying to keep warm.
Her appearance was so suspicious that Chen Wei and Xin Susu stared at her.
"You did it, right? The dwarf's conspiracy? Wow, I really underestimated fantasy species. I thought you were the only one who couldn't cheat."
"Don't call me a dwarf."
Although he protested as usual, this time Zhang Mumu did not jump up and hit Chen Wei. This kind of guilty conscience was so obvious that Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.
"...Xiao Zhou has known about it for a long time? You have already discovered it in the house?"
Chen Wei immediately looked over with sharp eyes. Now that he was discovered, Zhou Yu could only nod and admit.
"Although I'm not sure, I heard footsteps. Similar footsteps moved twice in a row."
"Ah, Xiao Zhou's ears are so sharp." Xin Susu looked at him in surprise, forgetting that it was cold, "Can you really hear me? You all sound the same to me."
"It's normal. People who usually speak and act softly tend to have stronger hearing. Moreover, Xiao Zhou participates in the game honestly. He has no worries and focuses on the outside world."
Chen Wei said, then turned to Zhang Mumu: "Now we even have witnesses. Does the little dwarf have anything else to deny?"
Zhang Mumu puffed up his face, covered his eyes with his hands and said, "I just want to see ghosts."
"Stand up straight when you are beaten. We don't care about you and your psychological motives. Please explain your criminal process honestly."
Zhang Mumu covered his hands more tightly and said dullly: "I... didn't cough until I reached the empty corner."
"Say it louder."
"I didn't cough when I got to the empty corner!" Zhang Mumu jumped up suddenly, waving his arms and shouted, "I am the spokesperson of the ghost! I am possessed by the ghost! Ooooooooooh-oh, don't hit me on the head! "
"Then, the case is solved. There is only one truth. The prisoner is a dwarf. The crime is to deliberately create a situation and scare others. Everyone can leave the meeting." Chen Wei clapped his hands in the night wind to imitate the judgment hammer, and his voice was clear and clear, "A fine One hundred yuan will be credited to your account, and when you get three hundred, we’ll treat everyone to takeout.”
Everyone laughed softly or loudly, and then stood up from the newspapers.
After this series of events, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the temperature at night had begun to drop, making it really unsuitable to stay outside. The night wind that had started blowing a while ago had a shrill sound, like swirling sighs and whimpering, or like a monotonous and high-pitched flute.
"The dwarfs and I will take care of the garbage. The younger students should go back first."
After sending Xing Wenlong and others away, Chen Wei stayed to pack newspapers and snack packaging bags. Zhang Mumu, who planned to stay overnight at Zhou Yu's house, was asked to participate in labor. As the host, Zhou Yu couldn't just sit back and watch, so he could only help.
"...I'm hungry, I want to order takeout." Zhang Mumu suddenly announced while tearing off the window newspaper.
"Have you eaten several packs of snacks?"
Zhang Mumu took out his mobile phone as usual and ordered takeout. Although it was already midnight, there was a 24-hour restaurant chain two blocks away, so delivery was not particularly time-consuming. But unexpectedly, until Chen Wei got on the car and left, the takeout was still not delivered. Because Zhang Mumu chose the delivery location in front of the clothing store, the two of them couldn't go home and wait.
Zhou Yu leaned in front of the store to accompany her. Although he drank coffee, he still felt very sleepy. The sound of Zhang Mumu humming in his ears became farther and farther away, and was covered by the hysterical and crazy wind.
In his daze, he vaguely felt the whispers and light footsteps coming from the clothing store again.
He suddenly woke up and looked sideways. Zhang Mumu was standing next to him, still leaning against the window and humming, but the night breeze had completely stopped.
Maybe those sounds just now were just dreams.
Zhou Yu still felt a little uneasy. He walked into the clothing store and checked again. The female model had been thrown away, and the store was silent, like a lonely empty tomb.
He stood blankly in the store for a while. These days were so peaceful and ordinary that he didn't know what to do.
"Come on, come on, takeaway!"
Just when he was lost in thought, Zhang Mumu's cheers came from outside the store.
He immediately walked out of the store, and sure enough he heard the whirring of a motorcycle in the distance. Not long after, a delivery man in an orange leather jacket drove up to the two of them from the corner, jumped out of the car in a hurry, and took out a fast food box from the trunk.
"excuse me, I……"
The delivery boy turned his head and looked at each other with Zhou Yu.
The faces of the two men, who were like twins, showed equal astonishment.
"...Something delayed me on the way." The female swordsman said in a daze.
