"It's just some superficial injuries, nothing serious."
Fujino took a look at the scar on his arm and said, "I guess it should be enough to wrap it with a bandage."
"I'll get the medicine kit."
Hui Yuan Ai didn't say much, turned around and quickly went to get the medical kit.
"Is it really okay?"
Hongye glanced at Fujino worriedly: "Obviously he fell from such a high place to protect me..."
"It really doesn't matter..."
Fujino moved his arms helplessly: "I'm still fine, there's nothing wrong with me."
"Really, you are still showing off despite being injured like this. It's just like back then...I'm going to ask someone to come over and take you to the hospital..."
Ooka Momiji glanced at Fujino's injuries distressedly, wiped her tears, and took out a pink flip phone from her pocket.
But after dialing the number, a message came from the other end: "Your number is not in the service area, please call again later."
"well?!"
Ooka Hongye said in surprise: "Why is there no signal?"
"Maybe it's because there are no base stations in such deep mountains and forests."
Haiyuan Ai came back with the medical kit, "In a place like this, landline phones like telephone lines should still be used for communication..."
"Landline phone……"
Ooka Momiji suddenly remembered something: "When I first came here, I saw a landline phone in the lobby!"
"But in this situation, it's still too risky to go to the lobby to make a phone call."
Xiao Ai took over the conversation, "After all, we just found the mummy in the basement."
"Mummy..."
Hong Ye recalled the scene just now and seemed a little frightened, "Is it the same as what Xiao Ai said, is it the villagers who were sacrificed?"
"That's just Xiao Ai's joke."
Fujino chuckled and said: "Maybe it's just some local customs or something, for example, dead relatives need to be hidden in their own villa or something. As for the injuries on my body, it's really nothing serious."
"Compared with these, the most important thing is to deal with his wounds quickly."
Xiao Ai put down the medical kit, rummaged through it and found a bandage. She turned her head and looked at Hongye: "Miss, come here and help me."
"oh oh!"
Red Leaf Chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, surprised by Xiao Ai's calm look.
To be honest, she has always felt a little weird ever since she met this little girl.
He didn't show too much shock when he saw the corpse, and his personality was extremely stable.
Vaguely, she felt that the other person was like a little adult.
But she didn't think too deeply about it.
After all, no matter what you say, you can’t become a small adult, right?
This is unreasonable and unscientific.
…………
Although it was their first time working together, the two of them had a good understanding.
Hong Ye was responsible for bandaging the back, while Xiao Ai was responsible for the arms.
As for the lower body, Fujino still has to do it himself.
While bandaging, Fujino silently turned on his eagle eyes and observed the movements of everyone near the room to prevent anyone from breaking into the guest room.
While observing, Fujino was thinking about the secret room just now and the mummy in the secret room.
The cause of death of the mummy Fujino is not yet certain. It may have been burned to death, or it may have been beheaded.
The time of death could not be determined because it was charred.
But what is certain is that the mummy must have some connection with the secrets of Hexagonal Village.
He didn't want to delve into the matter for the time being.
After all, if the village is really involved, then judging from the secrets hidden in [Hidden in Hexagonal Village] given by the system, everyone in this entire village is the murderer.
Now that they had accidentally discovered the body, it must have aroused suspicion. If they investigated the secret at this time, they would most likely be hunted down by the entire village.
He didn't have anything, but Xiao Ai and Hong Ye were different.
Without ruling out that the other party had weapons such as guns, he couldn't say that he would protect them both 100%.
Unless he strikes first and turns the entire village into a living hell...
This is not the result he wants to see.
On second thought, since the other party has not taken action yet, there is a high probability that the matter of breaking them into the secret room is not directly related to the so-called secret, but is just observing in secret.
Or in other words, he didn't take it to heart at all.
In this case, his first choice was to ensure the safety of Ooka Momiji and Haibara Ai.
For other things, it might not be too late to come back and investigate again after leaving.
Anyway, the system does not give a limited time.
…………
Soon, the time came to nine o'clock in the evening.
The pre-wedding dinner was held as scheduled.
Ooka Momiji put on an exquisite pink dress. The hem of the dress went above the knees, and the chest was well covered. It even seemed to be a lot smaller. It is not difficult to see from the design that this dress It is worn for high-end occasions.
Wearing it on this occasion, it feels like Lu Bu is riding a dog.
Xiao Ai put on the black Lolita and was still so cute.
As for Fujino, he was wearing a black suit, a body armor underneath, and a windbreaker outside. It could be said that he had put on all the vests that could save his life.
Several people met Odagiri Susumu and came to the banquet hall of the Clock Hall.
At this time, the banquet hall was already full of guests.
In addition to the owners of the six pavilions in the village, many celebrities from the village also came.
The pre-wedding dinner officially begins.
The door not far away was pushed open, and Tokita Ruoye came out.
Tokita Ruoye was wearing a slim-fitting wedding dress with exquisite workmanship. Her delicate face was slightly obscured by a white gauze on top of her short black hair. She was also holding a bouquet of red flowers in her hand, but in terms of her expression, she looked a little... Extremely cold.
Behind her, followed a girl wearing a black evening dress.
That girl Fujino looks a bit familiar...
Taking a closer look, it was the girl carrying two crows that I met when asking for directions.
The next person to appear was the groom of this wedding, a man named Liancheng Hisahiko.
Liancheng Hisahiko was wearing a white hood. The style of the hood was like that of an executioner in ancient times. Only his eyes were exposed. There was an eerie feeling that unexpectedly suited the village.
After the bride and groom entered the venue, the banquet officially began.
However, according to the strange custom of this village, the bride must go to the church to stay for one night when getting married. After meeting everyone, Ruoye left the banquet with the crow girl and went to the church in the middle of the village.
Before leaving, Wakaba glanced at Odagiri.
However, Odagiri looked panicked and was speechless.
"Mr. Tokita, congratulations!"
A man with a birthmark covering half of his face was using a knife and fork to break down the steak on the dinner plate. He smiled at Tokida Jusan who was sitting next to him and said, "Being able to connect with the leading wealthy man in the county." When your family becomes your in-laws, the future development of this village will all depend on your family!"
"Hey, hey, where!"
Tokita Shisan put a piece of steak into his mouth and smiled coquettishly.
"Is this the so-called political marriage?"
Haihara Ai sat on the left side of Fujino, holding a glass of drink and silently scanning everyone present.
She finally understood that Ruoye's wedding was the so-called marriage.
Although the status of the two parties is not too high, it is just a financial exchange, but the so-called marriage is just that.
Nothing more than money, power and the like.
It's really evil capitalism.
"It would be fine if it was a political marriage. A marriage of this degree is just a small fight..."
Ooka Hongye took a deep look at Haibara Ai and said, "To be honest, I really feel bad for Ruoye, but there is nothing we can do about it."
"Yes, this is a family matter after all."
Fujino echoed.
"You are still underage, right? It's best not to drink champagne."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Fujino's thoughts.
Fujino turned around and saw a mixed-race middle-aged man with blond hair, wearing a black evening suit appearing behind him.
"You must be from outside the village, right?"
Chun Fengji introduced himself with a smile: "My surname is Fengji, and I am the village representative of this village."
"Mr. Kazamatsu?"
Fujino thought for a while: "Is it the wind festival at the Wind Direction Pavilion?"
"yes."
Fengji Chun also nodded: "I am the owner of the Fengxiang Pavilion."
"I see……"
Fujino chuckled: "My name is Fujino. This time I am accompanying a friend to attend the wedding. This is my sister Haibara Ai."
Haiyuan Ai nodded skillfully.
Ooka Momiji, who was not introduced, glanced at Fujino resentfully, then introduced herself with a chuckle: "My surname is Ooka, Wakaba's classmate, and I am his fiancée."
"Fiancée?!"
Fengji was surprised, "But then again, why have you heard of the surname Ooka somewhere?"
"heard about it?"
Fujino was a little confused.
Although the Ooka family does seem to be very powerful, and may even be extremely powerful, their reputation will not spread to such a remote valley...
"ah--!"
A scream suddenly interrupted Fujino's thoughts.
Several people turned around and saw an old woman wearing a dress similar to that of the Middle Ages suddenly yelled: "It's... it's on fire!"
"Mrs. Kusanagi?"
On the side, a lady wearing a tight-fitting black evening dress with an enchanting temperament looked at the old woman, looking a little confused.
"The church is on fire!"
With the old woman's shout, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became deserted, and everyone could not help but darken their faces.
Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Church fire...
He remembered that the mummy before was burned to death.
Could there be any connection between the two?
Seeing this, two maids from the Clock House quickly helped the old woman out of the banquet.
"What's wrong with her?"
Fujino asked Fengji Junya on the side.
"She is the owner of the Ivy House, her name is Kusanagi Sanko."
Fengji Chun also explained: "Since her son died in a car accident five years ago, it has become like this..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man with a birthmark on his face suddenly clicked his tongue and said angrily: "Why hasn't this crazy old woman been sent to a mental hospital yet?"
"Mr. Isshiki! Today is a wedding banquet. Are you going too far?"
The lady complained, "And Mr. Liancheng, who came from afar, is here too. It's really rude!"
"That lady is Gotalan, the owner of the Pagoda Pavilion, and the one with the birthmark on her face is Isshiki Tonan, the owner of the Colored Glass Pavilion."
Junya Kazemori introduced Fujino, and then pointed to the man in a black suit and round glasses who was silently cooking not far away and continued: "And the man who is eating is Kabuto, the owner of the Armor Hall. Li San.”
"The master of the Armor Hall..."
Fujino thought for a moment, "Then the bridesmaid just now, could it be his family?"
"That's right."
Fengji Jun also nodded: "He is the father of the bridesmaid Kabuto Kiriko, but then again, how did you figure it out..."
"When I came here, I met Miss Wuzi at the entrance of the Armor Hall."
Fujino replied: "At that time, I asked her to help me give directions."
"So this is ah……"
Fengji Fengji Chun also nodded: "But it's really strange. Kiriko is famous for not liking to talk to outsiders."
"Indeed, she didn't speak to us at that time, she was just giving us directions."
Fujino nodded.
Although pointed out a lonely.
The dinner party was just a formality. After they had had enough wine and food, they all went their separate ways to chat.
Everyone else in this village is the same, weird.
The only person who could talk to Fujino and his group was Uncle Kazamatsu from the Fushidōkan, who seemed a little enthusiastic towards outsiders.
After the dinner, Uncle Fengji took Fujino and his party to the balcony of the banquet hall.
"Is Ruoye in that church?"
Ooka Momiji looked towards the church not far away, and asked Kaze Matsuri doubtfully.
"Yes, that's the church. Speaking of which, that church was built a long time ago."
Uncle Fengji nodded: "The people who built this church were missionaries who came here from foreign countries to look for the [Apple of Eden]. Speaking of which, it has a history of a hundred years now."
“Golden apples of Eden?”
Hui Yuan Ai frowned in confusion, "The one in the Bible?"
"That's right, it's the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate in the Old Testament."
Feng Jie Chun also thought: "Actually speaking, no one knows what the [Golden Apple of Eden] they are looking for is."
"Maybe it's the golden apple."
Fujino said something meaningful.
Speaking of the golden apples in the Garden of Eden, he thought of the golden apples in Assassin's Creed.
That thing is a relic of the old civilization that can control people's thoughts.
Of course, just think about it, that kind of thing cannot exist even in the world of Ke Xue.
After recovering his thoughts, Fujino paused, and then continued to ask Fengji Junya: "By the way, what happened to the fire that the owner of the Ivy Hall mentioned just now?"
"That was twenty-seven years ago."
Uncle Fengji hesitated for a moment after hearing this, paused, and then continued: "The pastor and his wife who lived there at the time, and their seven children were burned to death by the fire, and the newlywed wife was going to stay there for one night. , which also comes from this. On the eve of the wedding, the bride must wear a wedding dress and confess her previous sins there..."
Haiyuan Ai couldn't help complaining: "It's really a strange tradition..."
"It's really strange."
Fujino nodded.
Fire, mummy.
I feel like my thoughts are getting clearer and clearer.
Could it be that the mummies in the secret room were the corpses of the pastor's family in that fire?
But before he could finish speaking, a rapid 'clang' sound suddenly interrupted his thoughts again.
"well?"
Uncle Fengji was obviously stunned: "Why is it ringing at this time?"
"Is this also your custom?"
Ooka Momiji couldn't help but asked curiously.
"no."
Uncle Fengji shook his head: "The church bells will only ring when someone dies..."
"dead?"
Fujino's right eyelid twitched slightly, and then, as he expected, a system prompt echoed in his ears: "A new detective job mission has been detected, please check it carefully!"
Fujino: "..."
Sure enough, someone was dead.
