Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen The Third Night

It was time for dinner again, and the room was silent. There were eight people sitting at the table, four men and four women.The side next to the glass door is full of women: Shen Dan, Wu Meilan, Ye Wan and Zhang Ma.Opposite them are all men: Shen Huaqi, Gao Pingying, He Yi and Zhang Bo.At Gao Pingying's request, Zhang Bo and Zhang's mother also participated in this dinner, because this was the last supper. After eating this meal, people here will be accompanied by hunger and death.The normal relationship between people may also end with the end of the dinner. For the final peaceful coexistence and the final food enjoyment, everyone put aside all intrigues and have a pure dinner.

The last dinner was a bit simple, with limited food, it was impossible to have a Korean meal for each person, and a few simple dishes were placed on the table.This kind of dinner, coupled with Shen Le's death, greatly affected people's appetite and mood. No one spoke, nor moved their chopsticks.Ye Wan's heart was even heavier, she almost lost hope of living. The curtains of the restaurant were drawn to isolate the night outside, but the sound of the rain outside the house did not seem to weaken in the slightest. The muffled thunder among the clouds foretelled everyone that this night might be a thunderstorm night.The breath of thunderstorm made Ye Wan fall back into the memory of ten years ago, that afternoon, she was so frightened and frightened, facing the terrible death scene alone and helpless.And now, this feeling came again, and the last supper meant that she would face death alone next time.

My father died, my aunt disappeared, and now Shen Le is also dead.If there is one less person in the house, death is one step closer to her.The people sitting at the dining table are all so strange and mysterious, maybe one of them is the murderer, who can she trust?The night is coming, how should she, who is fragile and lonely, face the night and death?The fear and fear that came from the surprise attack made Ye Wan unable to help crying softly while covering her face. The crying sound echoed in the dining room, arousing the displeasure and resentment of several people at the table.Shen Huaqi asked Ye Wan not to add fuel to fear at this time, tears cannot make death evacuate.Death would not notice her as long as she remained quiet, for she was a nobody.

"Miss Ye does not need to grieve over death," He Zhan, who is opposite her, comforted calmly, "Understand all misfortunes with a grateful heart. Pain and disaster will become another harvest. Facing sin and death, Jesus It is so lenient that after Judas made covenants with the priests to betray the Lord twice, Jesus gave him a chance to repent, allowed the traitor to take communion with him, and washed his feet, in order to hope that this sinner would repent, repent and wash away his sins. .Jesus applied to Judas unreservedly the influence that the love of God and man could exert. This is an example for us. Didn't God know that His Son was going to be crucified? He No arrangement is made because only through the suffering of atonement can Jesus truly become His Son. Therefore, we should also take the disaster as a test and believe that everything in front of us is just a short-term suffering.”

His words, like sedatives, can calm people's spirits and numb people's pain.Ye Wan wiped away her tears with her hands. Although she was not a believer, she was also infected by the words of facing misfortune and disaster detachedly. Her thoughts also had the taste of a believer.She began to believe that the catastrophe in front of her might be another rebirth of her, and that she, like Jesus, would die and be born again.After the fear calmed down, Ye Wan became curious and asked He Yi whether Catholicism and Christianity are the same, and what is the difference? "Many people think that there is no difference between Catholicism and Christianity, and that the two are very close. This idea is wrong. In a narrow sense, Catholicism is the Roman Catholic Church. The church is rigorous and solemn, emphasizing 'sin' and 'punishment' , 'Heaven' and 'Purgatory'. Oh, I want to explain that the Chinese Catholic Church broke away from the Roman Catholic Church when New China was founded and became an independent Chinese Catholic Church." He Zong explained professionally, peacefully Jesus' tone was unusually serious. If this is a Catholic church, then he must be a very qualified believer.

"Did Dr. He lose his syringe?" Gao Pingying asked suddenly, he probably couldn't stand these religious topics anymore. He Yi was taken aback for a moment, probably not expecting Gao Pingying to ask him this question, and soon he answered calmly: "I don't have a syringe, and my patient doesn't need injection, so I only prepared medicine, without a syringe." "I don't believe Shen Le will take drugs." Shen Huaqi made a sound. The people at the table did not respond to his voice, he was the biggest suspect, and no one believed his words now.Shen Le is studying in the United States, so it is possible to become addicted to drugs.If someone entered Shen Le's room to kill him, Shen Le would scream and resist, why would he let the other party inject without saying a word?Also, what was the motive for the murder?He had just returned from abroad, so it was impossible to offend someone here and bring about his death. The reason for killing him was simply impossible to say.In such a short period of time, he was killed without anyone noticing, and there was no movement. It really made people feel that the murderer was terrible.

"After the ghost possesses the body, everything will go crazy." Shen Dan's weird voice sounded. She is the only person here who has been possessed by a ghost, and she has the most right to say such a thing. It seems that the reason why she is mentally abnormal is because she has been possessed by a ghost, and her soul has long since ceased to belong to her.Why didn't Jesus drive out the demons in her body? Is this also a compulsory course for her?Or there are too many ghosts in her body, including Shen Huawen's ghost, Shen Qing's ghost, and the hanger, and even Jesus can't do anything with the combined power.Now that two more people have died, the ghostly aura is getting heavier and heavier, but people can only resign themselves to their fate.

"Why did the ghost kill Shen Le?" Zhang Bo asked blankly, his face full of grief.He is the housekeeper of the Shen family. He has worked here for so long and has a certain affection for the Shen family.Although he didn't grow up with Shen Le, it's just that when such a young person dies, everyone will regret and feel pain. "Ghosts don't need a reason to kill people." Wu Meilan satirized him sourly. "If you talk about the motive for killing Shen Le, don't forget those two strange signed letters." Gao Pingying reminded. "You mean to kill Shen Le for the sake of wealth? That's better than..." Shen Huaqi stopped talking in the middle of his speech.

Gao Pingying smiled coldly, reassuring Shen Huaqi that if it was really for property, the murderer would kill him, and he would also be the murderer's target.Gao Pingying's words frightened Shen Huaqi and shrank in his seat speechless, looking at Gao Pingying's expression, it didn't look like he was joking, nor did he seem sure.Ye Wan felt that the murder here did not seem to be for property, her father should have nothing to do with the property of the Shen family.It's not like love hate or perverted reasons, like revenge. Shen Le's topic greatly affected the atmosphere and appetite. Zhang Ma picked up the chopsticks and greeted everyone to eat. Don't waste the last dinner, but enjoy it well.Driven by her, the others also picked up chopsticks to eat, only Shen Huaqi was drinking wine and meditating, not interested in the food, probably thought the food was too crude, he didn't like it.

Uncle Zhang took a few mouthfuls of food, then put down his chopsticks and sighed, he was still blaming himself for not being optimistic about Shen Le, for letting such a young person die, his voice was still sobbing, and there were tears in his eyes, that was really incomparable pain.His tears made Ye Wan feel like the tears of a crocodile. Abnormal behaviors often have the intention of covering up something. He and Shen Huaqi are friends. Perhaps these abnormal behaviors are all acting for Shen Huaqi. Even if Zhang Bo was truly loyal, Ye Wan was not in the mood to appreciate it. Shen Le's death was a big blow to her.Who will the Avengers target next?Ye Wan's heart was in a state of ups and downs, that kind of death was like hanging a man's sentence on her.This kind of verdict should not have appeared on Shen Le, which is a bit strange and contradictory.

Zhang Ma's cooking skills are very good, but it's a pity that no matter how good the cooking skills are, if it is tainted with the smell of death, it seems that it will make people unwilling to eat.Everyone quickly appeared in a state of not wanting to eat. People who ate put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, uncontrollably dizzy and sleepy, and fell asleep leaning on the table. When Ye Wan woke up, the other people at the dining table had also become conscious.The leftovers on the table had been cold for a long time. Looking at the wall clock on the wall of the restaurant, it was past ten o'clock in the evening, and they had been in a coma for more than three hours.Because everyone hasn't finished their meal, the effect of the drug is not very serious.The deserted restaurant did not change much from when the meal was opened, except that there was one person missing, and Shen Huaqi had disappeared. After stretching his limbs, he began to look for Shen Huaqi.But after searching the entire house, he was nowhere to be found. Shen Huaqi, like Ye Caixia, disappeared inexplicably.Once again someone disappeared, let everyone pay attention to the issue of disappearance again.Ye Caixia and Shen Huaqi were responsible for Shen Huawen's death. What secrets do they have with Shen Huawen? Are they dead?Or escaped?Where is the lost Xuanmen? The last dinner and the disappearance of Shen Huaqi made Gao Pingying understand the cause and effect of the missing food. Shen Huaqi volunteered to go downstairs to find Shen Dan. In fact, the real purpose was to go downstairs to move the food.If it's the Avengers or the ghosts taking the food, there's no point in leaving a meal behind.It is precisely because Shen Huaqi wanted to borrow the last supper to disappear that he intentionally left a meal behind.At dinner, everyone else ate, only this one kept drinking because he knew there was a drug in it. The reappearance of the drug reminded Ye Wan of the night before the closure. Perhaps the person who fascinated everyone that time was Shen Huaqi. If it was really him, he would also be the one who closed the house.This guy is now showing his true colors. It seems that he also directed the disappearance of his aunt. The two of them were originally standing together.He moved away the food and informed Shen Le of the evacuation after dinner, so Shen Le went to his room to prepare the items that needed to be taken away, but he still could not escape death. Her guess was rejected by Gao Pingying. He thought that Shen Huaqi would never be a person who closed the house. The closed house was suicidal for him and her aunt, and they would not do such a stupid thing.Ye Caixia was afraid because the word "death" appeared on the door, so she hid. At that time, they thought it was only targeting her.Later, the word "death" also appeared on Shen Le's door. At this moment, Shen Huaqi had a premonition that something was wrong, and began to prepare to evacuate.The person who took the drug for the first time was not the same person as the person who took the drug for the second time. Shen Huaqi made this move because he wanted to stop it with silence. He didn't know who the avenger was, so he just took the food and hid it.Without food, the Avengers and others will lose fighting spirit due to hunger, and he and Ye Caixia can leave the house after the rain and clear weather, or launch a counterattack. "I think there must be a secret passage in the house. The most important thing for us now is to find the secret passage, and it must be tonight. Otherwise, we will just sit and wait for death." He Yi frowned and said, his expression changed from his usual peaceful one to a bit serious . Gao Pingying nodded in agreement, saying that He Yi was right.Then I asked Uncle Zhang and Mama Zhang, they are the ones who have lived here for the longest time, and they are more familiar with the house than the masters, if they haven't noticed any signs of secret passages.The two servants were both apologetic and regretful, and explained that the house was so big that they found it laborious to clean it, so how could they bother to research whether there was a secret passage.It used to be very quiet here, like a church hidden in the mountains, maybe God will come to rest at night, and there is no need for secret passages. "When Shen Huaqi moved the food, we all gathered on the top stairs, and there was no one downstairs. When he evacuated, we were all drugged, so no one noticed that he disappeared. But when Mrs. Shen disappeared, the situation was not the same. In this way, everyone think carefully, where were you at that time, why did no one notice when she disappeared?" Gao Pingying asked. This question is a good one. When Ye Caixia disappeared, everyone did not gather together, but moved loosely. Someone would always notice the signs of her departure.After lunch, first Ye Guoqiang's body appeared in Wu Meilan's room, and then there was the case of Shen Huawen's skeleton.At the end of the skeleton incident, it was Shen Huaqi who accompanied Ye Caixia in her room, and everyone else went back to their own rooms. Only Mama Zhang cleaned up the dishes after lunch in the restaurant downstairs. After Mama Zhang packed the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, thinking about Ye Guoqiang, she went to the second floor to look for Gao Pingying.Then Ye Wan stood by Gao Pingying's door and eavesdropped. After a while, Zhang's mother left Gao Pingying's room and went downstairs to the kitchen to wash dishes. Ye Wan talked with Gao Pingying, and then they also came to the kitchen to ask Zhang's mother.After the questioning, they went upstairs to look for Ye Caixia. At this time, they met Shen Huaqi who came down to look for Ye Caixia. Ye Caixia had disappeared by then.There was a time when she opened the door of the secret passage downstairs when no one was there, that is, when Ye Wan was standing by Gao Pingying's door and eavesdropping, there was no one downstairs at that time. "Miss Ye must not have sensed that Auntie is going downstairs." Gao Pingying asked Ye Wan without expectation, he knew the answer must be no, if she had felt it then, she would have followed Auntie away. Ye Wan nodded apologetically, she did not realize that Gao Pingying's room was at the end of the second floor, far away from the stairs, and her attention was focused on the room at the time, let alone someone quietly walking past the stairs, Even if someone quietly walked behind her and attacked her. Zhang Ma suddenly let out an "ah", expressing that she remembered something and wondered if it was a useful clue.Gao Pingying asked her to tell the truth. It turned out that when Zhang Ma and Gao Pingying finished providing clues and went downstairs, they met Shen Huaqi who was about to go upstairs at the stairs on the first floor.She asked him if Mrs. Shen was okay, and Shen Huaqi said vaguely that she was fine. Gao Pingying said with certainty: "This clue can exactly explain that Shen Huaqi took Ye Caixia underground, and then he went back to the third floor to play the scene of Ye Caixia's disappearance. He still felt that he was safe at that time. After what happened to Shen Le, he also hid underground because of fear." "Could the secret passage be on the fourth floor? If my aunt goes up, no one will notice." Ye Wan raised this possibility. In her memory, the fourth floor is quite problematic. "No, it can't be on the fourth floor." He Yi retorted her conjecture, "The purpose of setting up a secret passage is to provide an additional escape route. If a secret passage is set up upstairs, it will violate the common sense of escape. Moreover, the fourth floor The route does not match Shen Huaqi's route for moving food, so the secret passage must be underground on the first floor." "Doctor He is right. When Shen Huaqi moved the food, we were all on the stairs above the fourth floor. In order to find the door to the secret path, this night is not a night for sleeping. We must unite for survival. I hope everyone can understand This." Gao Pingying looked at everyone meaningfully, his words were not only for the trapped people, but also for the avengers. Everyone acquiesced to Gao Pingying's words, and started to act in groups, looking for the door of the secret passage downstairs.There is not much furniture in the spacious living room. The shoe cabinet with fish tank is fixed on the wall, which cannot be a door to the secret passage. Although the huge yellow wooden cabinet and sofa can be moved, they do not meet the requirements.Shen Huaqi moved the food so fast, the door of the secret path must be very close to the kitchen, and it is also very convenient.Bulky items like sofas and cabinets, once moved, leave marks and are difficult for one person to move.The dining room only has tables and chairs, and there is nothing to check at all. Although there are many lockers in the kitchen, there is nothing suspicious.The storage room and laundry room are clean and orderly, and there are not many unused items and sundries that can be seen at a glance, and there are no signs of secret doors when they move around. There is nowhere to look downstairs. Even the floors have been checked, and there is no sign of entering the secret passage. Every floor is very strong and cannot be moved.The frustrated crowd gathered in the living room again, dejected by the failure.In the silence, there was a thunder, which shook everyone's depressed mood, and then fell into depression again.This shock is like a drop in the bucket, it is difficult to excite people who are on the verge of death. The curtains in the living room were not drawn, Ye Wan looked at the dark night outside the window, and felt that the weather was a bit abnormal, thunderstorms rarely occurred in late autumn.Could it be that after being possessed by a ghost, everything becomes irrational, even the weather is not spared.The wall clock in the dining room struck twelve, and it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.The midnight bell tells everyone that it is October 29th, the death day of Shen Huawen, and the property inheritance day mentioned in the signed letter. I am afraid that even the Avengers will not know what will happen next. , as the two main target characters disappear.
