"But it was very quiet last night. I didn't go to sleep until after midnight. I didn't hear anything."
"What about your room?" Brother Lei immediately asked the people in the other two rooms. The four people in the other two rooms also shook their heads.
"I didn't hear anything."
Fang Zhi and the other two briefly told them about the baby crying last night. They also mentioned the argument between the master and the mistress upstairs. As they were talking, the master's family came downstairs with a black plastic bag in their hands. The master went out to the yard to throw away the trash before coming back to greet them.
The master's eyes were a little tired. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night. After a simple breakfast, the master's family went upstairs again.
After a while, Lin Meng came downstairs. Today, she was wearing a long blue dress. She was holding an easel in her hand, carrying a drawing board on her back, and some other things. She said to everyone, "I want to go out to sketch. Does anyone want to come with me?"
They looked at each other. In the end, seven of them expressed that they wanted to stay. Right now, they weren't sure who was the key to their departure. Each of them had their own plans. Besides, no one died in the villa last night. This proved that this place was relatively safe for the time being. If they went out, they didn't know what they would encounter.
Since Lin Meng invited them, they had to go. In the end, they split into two groups. Gu Xizhou and the other two went together. Including Dong Chao and Brother Lei, a total of five people agreed to go with Lin Meng.
"Really? You're all willing to go with me? That's great! "Lin Meng's face was full of surprise. It seemed that she didn't expect so many people to be willing to go with her. She was very happy.
Seeing that Lin Meng was struggling to hold the drawing board, a man's voice sounded. "Let me help you!"
"Thank you!" Lin Meng smiled sweetly. She handed the drawing board to Fang Zhi and smiled at him. Her eyes curved into crescents.
Si Yu: "Is he here to date?"
Gu Xizhou: "…" Xiao Fang was an honest person.
Brother Lei: "… I think so."
Dong Chao: "If you fall in love with JB, you won't even know how you died!"
Fang Zhi took the bucket and the drawing board from Lin Meng's hands. He took two steps back and returned to Gu Xizhou. Seeing that they were staring at his face, he touched his face subconsciously and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
They shook their heads in unison. "No."
Fang Zhi shook his head in confusion. He had been here for a day, but he hadn't seen any supernatural incidents. If it wasn't for Brother Gu, he would have suspected that this was some kind of prank from the program.
They followed Lin Meng to the middle of the mountain. They were always alert for possible accidents. They arrived at their destination, which was a reservoir on the middle of the mountain. There was no danger on the way.
In front of the reservoir, there were reeds that were taller than a person. The mountain breeze brushed past, causing the leaves to rustle.
Lin Meng put the easel out. When she opened the drawing board, Gu Xizhou saw a pile of paper inside. One side was white paper, and the other side was a finished painting.
"Can I take a look at your painting?"
A clean and clear voice sounded in their ears. It was like a pair of hands gently massaging their eardrums.
What a clean voice.
Gu Xizhou looked at the owner of the voice with disdain. He remembered that the last time this guy was angry at an NPC, the girl jumped off a building the next day.
Lin Meng did not show any surprise when she heard this. She generously took out the painting from the drawing board and handed it to Si Yu. "I'm not good at it. Take a look!"
Then, Lin Meng sat on the small chair that she brought with her and started to draw on the paper.
Gu Xizhou and the others looked at each other. They gathered together to look at Lin Meng's painting, hoping to find some clues.
The first painting was Lin Meng's self-portrait.
The second painting was Lin Meng and her sister.
The third painting was Lin Meng's father and her sister.
The fourth painting was the one that Lin Meng had just finished when they arrived yesterday.
Gu Xizhou and the others looked at the four paintings carefully. They did not find any useful clues. Just as they were at their wits' end, the girl who was drawing turned and looked at the five of them. "I'm done with my background! I want to draw three people in! "
Brother Lei shook his head frantically. His head shook like a rattle drum. "No, no, no. I'll pass!"
Dong Chao said, "I'm a little dizzy …"
As he spoke, Dong Chao leaned on Brother Lei. Brother Lei quickly supported him. He looked concerned. "Are you okay?"
Gu Xizhou was speechless. He could not tell that they were all good at acting.
Gu Xizhou glanced at Lin Meng. Just as he was considering whether to reject her, Si Yu said to Lin Meng, "Draw the three of us then."
Lin Meng nodded and said, "Okay. Stand closer!"
The three of them stood side by side. Gu Xizhou stood in the middle. He asked Si Yu in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Those two people can't wait to hide. Why did you agree to her request? What if this is one of the conditions of death? "
Si Yu said, "Trust me."
Gu Xizhou was speechless. If I die, you'll be responsible!
Fang Zhi was speechless.
They could not see Lin Meng's drawing board. They did not know the content of the painting. However, they noticed that Brother Lei's face was getting paler as the painting was completed. Dong Chao's gloating expression could not escape Gu Xizhou and the others' eyes.
Around noon, the woman finished the last stroke. She put down the brush and looked at her painting with satisfaction. "It's done! Take a look. Do you like it? "
As she spoke, Gu Xizhou and the others took a step forward. They finally saw the whole painting. The background was the reservoir behind them. The three men in the painting were different from what they had imagined.
Gu Xizhou saw the expressions of the people in the painting and was stunned. The three people in the painting were looking straight ahead with angry expressions.
"I'm satisfied. Thank you." Si Yu nodded and said to the woman.
After putting away the painting, the woman walked in front while the five of them followed behind. Brother Lei wanted to say something but stopped. There was some sympathy in his eyes. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort them. However, he chose to give up in the end. He shook his head and walked away.
Dong Chao glanced at them and said disdainfully, "It seems that someone is going to die tonight."
Gu Xizhou was speechless. Don't think that I don't know what you mean. You think that the three of us are going to die! Get lost. I won't die before you do!
When the two people walked in front of them, Gu Xizhou asked Si Yu, "What did you find?"
Si Yu said, "Did you notice the skin color of the three of us in the painting just now?"
Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi recalled the painting just now. Fang Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly. "Our skin color is relatively fair. Hmm …"
Si Yu nodded. "It's normal for my skin to be fair. However, when she painted the two of you, she didn't change her skin color. That's very strange."
Gu Xizhou was speechless. Don't think that I don't know that you're indirectly saying that I'm dark!
Fang Zhi didn't mind and agreed. "Seems like it. Also, when she painted us, our skin color seemed to be similar to the color of her self-portrait!"
"That's right!" Si Yu looked at Fang Zhi with admiration and said softly, "You're indeed a criminal police officer. Your observation skills are not bad." He then continued, "Three. The number three has a special meaning here."
"Why didn't she paint five people? Four people, exactly three people? At the same time, the male owner prepared four rooms for us yesterday. When you searched yesterday, you should have noticed that each room had three beds. There are a total of twelve of us! "
Gu Xizhou said, "… Last night, only the three of us could hear the sounds upstairs. That's because the number of people in the other rooms was either less than three or more than three."
"That's right," Si Yu said.
Before they reached the villa, Gu Xizhou heard rustling noises. Some people were discussing something and there was also the sound of a woman crying.
The few of them ran into the villa, leaving Lin Meng to walk back slowly. When they entered the villa, they saw that among the seven people left behind, two of the girls were crying.
There was a black plastic bag on the wooden floor of the living room. It was the same one that the male owner had thrown out this morning. Perhaps because the plastic bag was opened, the strong smell of blood permeated the air.
"What happened?" Brother Lei ran all the way in and asked.
It was the body of a baby covered in blood. Because the baby had been dead for a long time, the blood had already coagulated.
Last night, someone had died. The one who died was Lin Meng's sister.
"After you left, the four owners were in the room. We … we wanted to see if there were any other clues. We were too anxious last night and didn't pay attention to some places. In the end, we found this in the trash can …" The few of them recalled the situation with pale faces.
After Gu Xizhou's group of five went out with Lin Meng, the seven of them stayed in the villa. Yesterday, they searched downstairs and wanted to go upstairs. However, the family was upstairs and they didn't dare to go in to search. They could only search downstairs and the small courtyard outside the villa. In the end, they found this!
The two girls who found the body were scared out of their wits.
Coincidentally, Lin Meng came in at this time. Her gaze naturally fell on the plastic bag with the baby's body in the living room.
In the entire living room, the few of them gasped. The air seemed to have frozen.
Lin Meng's gaze fell on the plastic bag. After a while, she withdrew her gaze. Her face was cold, but she didn't say anything. She opened the fridge and turned to ask the few of them what they wanted to eat.
Recalling how much Lin Meng loved her sister yesterday, Gu Xizhou couldn't help but say, "Hey, your sister is dead."
Hearing Gu Xizhou's question, the surrounding people all looked at him at the same time. They saw Lin Meng's face turn livid and ferocious. The woman slammed the fridge door and stared at Gu Xizhou coldly.
Brother Lei: "???" Is there something wrong with you? You can cure it! If you anger the NPC, you will die miserably!
Just when they all thought that Lin Meng would cut Gu Xizhou into pieces, the woman suddenly calmed down and said indifferently, "She is not my sister."
Brother Lei: "???" Wait, big sister, are you sick too? Or are you planning to cut him tonight?
