The protagonists in the book all resent me for breaking

"Dead?" Jiang Xian was surprised. How could a person who was in good shape just now died when they were putting things away?

Chi Luoxi passed him, went to the door and looked in, Jiang Xian stuffed Liu Sai'e into the arms of the man who was following behind him, and hurriedly followed.

The lighting on the first floor is not as good as that on the second floor. Although it is bright, it lacks a little temperature and looks a bit cold.

The decoration of the room was the same as that of Jiang Xian and the others, in a retro Chinese style. There was a Chinese-style ceiling lamp about one meter in the center of the living room. Zhu Qianzhang was hanging on the wooden hollow frame of the ceiling lamp by the curtain rope at this moment.

The strong smell of blood rushed from the room like sea waves.

"Ouch—" Jiang Xian just glanced at it, then covered his mouth and rushed to the corner, leaning on the wall and retching.

Zhu Qianzhang's face was congested and swollen due to suffocation, his skin was bluish purple, the tip of his tongue was sticking out, his whole head was pulled at an unnatural angle.

If it was just like this, Jiang Xian wouldn't have reacted so much. What really made him unbearable was that Zhu Qianzhang's stomach was cut open by something, like a pig that was slaughtered, a section was dragged from the abdominal cavity to the On the ground, the internal organs flowed all over the ground, forming a scarlet pool.

At this time, a man and a woman came hurriedly from behind the small building. The younger girl was wearing a waiter's uniform, and the other tall and strong middle-aged man was wearing a pure white chef's uniform.

Before the two of them approached, Chi Luoxi closed the door of Zhu Qianzhang's room first, leaving the two who hadn't figured out what happened, looking at each other. Guess nothing good happened.

"Call the police." Chi Luoxi looked back at the people standing not far behind her, her tone was calm, she walked to Jiang Xian's side after speaking, took out a tissue and handed it to him, and gently helped him along his back.

"Thank you." Jiang Xian took the tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.

The three people who witnessed the tragic situation in the room reacted after Chi Luoxi reminded them, and they all took out their mobile phones to call the police.

"no signal!"

"How is it possible... I don't have any!"

"what happened?"

Jiang Xian and Chi Luoxi looked at each other for a second, and took out their mobile phones respectively. Sure enough, a small cross appeared at the position where the signal was displayed, indicating "no service".

Liu Sai'e struggled to stand still, staggered back to her room, opened her notebook, and said in despair after a moment: "Even the Internet is cut off."

"I can't communicate with the outside world..." Jiang Xian muttered, suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "Go and see if Huafang is still there!"

A group of people rushed to the pier again, but the boat didn't disappear, it was still parked where it was, and everyone felt relieved.

"What happened?" The chef who didn't know the truth finally had time to ask the question in his heart.

"Manager Zhu is dead." Liu Sai'e folded her arms around her chest and curled up slightly, even if she was exposed to the sun, she couldn't dispel the chill that kept pouring out of her heart: "He hanged himself in the room... stomach, stomach doesn't know It was cut open by someone."

"..."

Afterwards, the two of them gasped when they heard the words.

Chi Luoxi pushed Jiang Xian in the direction of the boat: "No matter what, you should contact the police first. Is there anyone among you who can drive this kind of boat?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Liu Sai'e said: "Because this time we are only entertaining a few winners, there is no crew. When we came here before, it was Manager Zhu who drove the boat, but now he has..."

Chi Luoxi thought for a while: "Maybe I can try, then I will invite Mr. Chef and this..."

"Zhao Yixuan." The man who was following the rich girl answered the conversation: "My name is Zhao Yixuan, and the person who was with me before was my newlywed wife Zuo Rui."

"My name is Gong Xiangsheng." The chef said, "Besides them, there is also a waiter in the small building. He went to add fuel to the generator before, so he probably didn't hear the movement on the first floor."

Chi Luoxi nodded: "I'll trouble you two to work harder and bring the three from the small building to the pier."

Gong Xiangsheng and Zhao Yixuan agreed, and turned back to the small building to pick them up. Chi Luoxi pulled Jiang Xian on the boat, and the rest followed suit.

Suddenly Chi Luoxi stopped, Jiang Xian didn't have time to stop, and his head hit his muscular back directly, causing a sore nose.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xian took a step back holding his nose, and found that the other party was staring at the stern of the boat without blinking.

"I can't go anymore." Chi Luoxi pointed at the stern of the boat: "The motor is gone."

……

In the restaurant of the small building, eight people sat around the dining table, their expressions were either tense, panicked, or dignified. The silent atmosphere made the surrounding air heavy, as if experiencing the low pressure before the storm, depressingly Breathless.

"Xiao Rui." The young man sitting next to Jiang Xian called him, turned his head to face him, and asked in a low voice: "That friend of yours has been in for a while, is nothing wrong?"

"Don't worry." Jiang Xian said, "Chi Luoxi is very powerful."

After listening to his words, the young man moved the seat to the side of Jiang Xian. The two people who were already very close were now almost side by side.

This sudden intimate movement with a stranger made Jiang Xian instinctively want to run away, but he couldn't, so he leaned his body to the other side calmly.

Jiang Xian is unfamiliar with the young man, but the young man is very familiar with him, or the world is very big, but sometimes it is small, Jiang Xian never thought that he would meet Aunt Lan's son here , Zhang Chenrui's childhood friend - Lan Xi.

Lan Xi has fair skin, a pair of round almond eyes, and the corners of the eyes are slightly drooping. They look very cute. The two are about the same age, but because the other party has a baby face, they look much younger than Jiang Xian.

A cute boy will be liked no matter where he is, but Jiang Xian has an indescribable rejection of him.

From the first moment he saw him, Jiang Xian couldn't help but think of the boy he brought with him when he first saw Chi Luoxi in the bar. Lan Xi was very similar to him, both were equally cute, it should be Chi Luoxi favorite type.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xian felt as if his heart had been soaked in a glass of lemonade, sour.

Just as Jiang Xian was thinking wildly, the door of Room [-] finally opened, and Chi Luoxi came out from inside wiping his hands with a disinfectant wipe.

Everyone immediately focused their anxious eyes on him.

Maybe it was born with a strong and reliable aura, the more anxious and uneasy Chi Luoxi was, the more he was able to attract helpless people to him, and follow his example.

"How is it?" Jiang Xian stood up and greeted him.

"There are strangle marks and fingernail scratch marks on his neck. Judging from the characteristics of the corpse, he was indeed hanged, but the lamp is so high, and there are no footings such as chairs on the ground, so how he was hanged is unknown. It's gone." Chi Luoxi paused, and then continued: "There is one more thing that is strange, his abdomen was cut open by a sharp object, I just checked and found that he is missing a spleen."

The air in the restaurant seemed to freeze instantly because of Chi Luoxi's words, so quiet that one could almost hear each other's rapid and heavy breathing due to panic.

"I want to go home!" The woman named Zuo Rui stood up from her seat with a "bass", and the dining chair rubbed against the floor making a harsh noise, breaking the silence of the small building.

"If the motor is gone, go find a way to row the boat! Row the boat!!!" She screamed hysterically like a lunatic: "Miss Ben's life is much more valuable than you murderers, I want to go home!"

Zuo Rui's remarks immediately caused her to receive disgusted looks from the audience, and even Zhao Yixuan, who had always been obedient to her, turned ugly at this moment, he gently pulled Zuo Rui down, and growled: "Enough!"

Zuo Rui waved his hand to break free from him, and immediately pointed the finger at her husband: "You trash, how dare you yell at me now! You forgot how you tried to please me like a dog in order to get married to our Zuo family?! Now the purpose How dare you yell at me when you reach it!!!”

Zhao Yixuan was yelled at by Zuo Rui, his face turned blue and then white, his hands were clenched into fists, his nails sank into his palms, as if he was going to explode in the next second, but he finally endured it.

"...I will divorce you when I go back, and you don't even want to get a penny from my house!"

To be able to endure such an arrogant and domineering woman for the sake of money, Zhao Yixuan is really amazing in a certain way.When Jiang Xian was thinking this way, he didn't notice the fierce light in Zhao Yixuan's eyes the moment Zuo Rui said the last sentence.

"If you want to leave, you can leave now, no one will stop you." Chi Luoxi glanced coldly at Zuo Rui who was still about to continue stalking, and her voice was even colder: "Everyone here has only one life , no one is more precious than anyone else."

Chi Luoxi's voice was not loud, it could even be said to be very soft, but when his eyes fell on Zuo Rui, an invisible pressure made her immediately turn into a choked chicken, making no sound at all. not come out.

The good-looking man not far away seemed not what she had thought at first. He was a Shura who had escaped from hell, covered in a gorgeous skin, and with just a slight flick of a finger, he could entangle her. Get crushed here.

The chill that frightened her more than Zhu Qianzhang's death ran along her back like a poisonous snake, bringing a disgusting slimy feeling. Zuo Rui couldn't bear it anymore, took a step back, turned around and went upstairs to the room run away.

"Rui Rui..." Zhao Yixuan's voice was blocked by Zuo Rui's heavy slamming of the door. He sighed, raised his hand to rub the center of his brows, and sat down again.

"Since the murderer is among us, I think we'd better get together as much as possible." Jiang Xian said, "I read that in reasoning comics like 'Conan' and 'Kindaichi', the ones left alone are always the first to get their lunch boxes." of."

After Jiang Xian finished speaking, he felt that what he said was a bit inappropriate. Zuo Rui had just gone upstairs, so he couldn't help but imply that the next person to die would be her.

At this time, the quietest painter among the crowd stood up. Jiang Xian remembered that Liu Sai'e seemed to have said that his name was Wang Ye, and he was a well-known oil painter all over the country.

"I can't stay here with you, I have to go back to my room to draw." Wang Ye said.

"Are you still in the mood to draw at this time?" Gong Xiangsheng wanted to stop Wang Ye.

"If I don't draw pictures, am I just staring at you here?" Wang Ye asked back: "Could it be possible to catch the murderer by sitting here?"

"Instead of wasting time staying with you, I would rather stay with my paintings." After speaking, he went straight upstairs without looking back, and disappeared at the corner of the corridor on the second floor.

"What are one or two!" Gong Xiangsheng bowed his head and spat lightly.

"This..." Jiang Xian looked at Chi Luoxi with pleading eyes.

Chi Luoxi sighed: "No one can guarantee that they will never be alone before the police arrive. You can arrange the rest of the time freely, but please be vigilant."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange sound of "Gu~", Jiang Xian looked back and saw Lan Xi scratching her head with a flushed face: "Sorry, I'm a little hungry."

It was only then that everyone remembered that they hadn't had lunch yet, and Gong Xiangsheng stood up: "I've prepared lunch, and it's still in the back kitchen. I'll go and bring it out now."

Several waiters followed Gong Xiangsheng into the back kitchen to serve the food.

Gong Xiangsheng originally made steak, but it was already cold after so long, so everyone ate a few sandwiches casually.

When people's lives are threatened, their requirements for food will not be so high.

After eating, Zhao Yixuan took the plate and said he would bring some food to Zuo Rui, and went upstairs, Chi Luoxi also pulled Jiang Xian to go back to the room, Lan Xi hurriedly followed after seeing this.

"Xiao Rui, I'm scared, can I stay with you?" Lan Xi lowered her head slightly, raised her eyelids and looked at Jiang Xian from bottom to top, her eyes were wet and pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.

"No!" Before Jiang Xian could speak, Chi Luoxi resolutely refused, "Xiao Rui and I have some private matters when we go back to the room, so it's inconvenient for outsiders to be present."

Chi Luoxi deliberately said the word "private matter" in an extraordinarily charming manner, and she didn't know what Lan Xi thought of, so her face immediately turned red, and she murmured: "Then... I'll wait for you downstairs, Xiao Rui, what do you want?" come back quickly."

"Not soon." Chi Luoxi raised his eyebrows: "With my ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to go downstairs until dark."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Jiang Xian back to the room with an incomprehensible face.

Lan Xi's face turned red into a ripe apple. Standing where he was, he heard Jiang Xian's innocent voice who had not gone far while being held by Chi Luoxi: "What are you talking about?"

Chi Luoxi smiled but said nothing.
