Nightmare Attack

Chapter 6 Taboo
After examining the corpse, the three of them exited the bathroom. Facing such a strange corpse, no one felt uncomfortable.

"The time of death is probably within three hours." Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, the strong man raised his head and affirmed, "That is to say, between 2:5 and [-]:[-] in the morning."

"How can you determine the time?"

The strong man glanced at the girl who asked the question, told her the time and order of the vigil they arranged, and handed her the pocket watch, which showed that the timer had counted exactly 7 hours.

The next shift in Jiangcheng is a middle-aged man, and the fat man who got off work was woken up by the urine, and when he went to drain the water, he found the dead middle-aged man.

At this time, the fat man got up tremblingly and asked why the middle-aged man died. The strong man sighed and closed the bathroom door, and the group returned to the sofa in front of the fireplace.

As a newcomer, Jiang Cheng hardly spoke much. He was always listening and analyzing. Most of the opinions he put forward came from the most senior strong men and women with moles on their lips.

Through the information revealed in the discussions of several people, Jiang Cheng knew that in this world there is generally no case of being killed for no reason, and the people who were killed must have touched some taboos.

The so-called taboo is very likely to be the key clue to crack the task.

"What did he do that we haven't done?" The male clerk huddled between Jiang Cheng and the girl, obviously terrified, he didn't want to die inexplicably like a middle-aged man.

The girl frowned and said, "Could it be because he went to the bathroom on the first floor, where is the taboo hidden in this mission, and everyone who goes there will die?"

"No way," the fat man squatted on the spot with his hands on his knees, and whispered, "I've been to the bathroom too, just yesterday when I was searching the living room."

Jiang Cheng turned to look at Fatty, and after a while he said, "Then you have to be careful, although your neck is thick, you should be able to break it with force."

The fat man almost cried when he heard this.

The brawny man seemed a little dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng's attitude, but he didn't say anything. He just shook his head and said that it shouldn't be. Almost all of them have been to the bathroom on the first floor. If something happened, it shouldn't be just a middle-aged man.

"Maybe it's just in sequence?" said the woman with a mole on her lips, "You should understand that ghosts rarely kill people in a short period of time."

The strong man glanced at the woman, but rarely did not refute.

"Is there really such a thing?"

Jiang Cheng's suspicions have been confirmed. The door that appeared in the dream undoubtedly belongs to the category of supernatural events, and the appearance of ghosts in supernatural events seems reasonable.

"So what we need to fight against in this world is not a human being, but a ghost?!" The male clerk turned pale with fright.

Given his previous performance, no one would care about him at all.

"Since someone died, it means that this villa is our destination. The so-called journey does not exist. That car appeared only to send us here." The girl looked around, "There is a problem It's this villa."

"What's wrong with the villa?"

The girl stared at the fat man who asked the question, and said after a while, "For example, there have been some vicious incidents here before."

This villa looks quite luxurious, and there is no sign of being destroyed inside. It is indeed suspicious that it was abandoned for no apparent reason. Jiang Cheng feels that what the girl said is quite credible.

The strong man walked to the door of the villa, grabbed the door handle, and pulled it hard, but the door didn't move at all.

"It's locked," the strong man turned his head and said, "It seems that this is the mission location. We can't leave until we understand what happened in this villa."

"Since the mission location has been determined, let's spread out and look for clues. Now that it is dawn, it will be relatively safe."

Having said that, the death of the middle-aged man still sounded the alarm for everyone, especially the three newcomers Jiang Cheng, Fatty, and the male clerk.

In order to speed up the efficiency, several people spontaneously grouped, and an old person led a new person.

The fat man followed the brawny man, the male clerk followed the woman with the mole on her lip, and Jiang Cheng was in a group with the girl.

For security reasons, the search scope is temporarily fixed on the first floor of the villa.

The group of strong men was in charge of the living room and near the door, the group of women was in charge of the remote warehouse, and Jiang Cheng and the girl went to the kitchen and dining room.

Everyone is within a straight line of sight to each other, and once something happens, there is a mutual response.

This time, with the previous experience, I searched more thoroughly and carefully.

Half an hour later, everyone reunited in front of the fireplace, and the sky was completely bright.

"We found this in the warehouse," the woman with moles on her lips took out a thick rope, a hemp rope, with a black and red mark on one of it.

The strong man took it and rubbed it hard twice, then put it under his nose and smelled it, "It's blood," he looked up at the woman.

The woman nodded, "I found this nearby just after a stack of firewood."

She opened her right hand, and in the palm was a light green brooch in the shape of a maple leaf.

Was there ever a girl who was tied up and left there?

"What did you find?" The woman turned her head to look at the strong man.

"Come and see with me," said the strong man, walking towards the door, a group of people following him.

Standing by the door, the strong man groped and pressed down a spot on the wall. Jiang Cheng had good eyesight, and he saw that it was a light blue button.

The button is embedded in the oil painting beside the door, blending with the sky blue background image, and it is difficult to find it without looking carefully.

At the same time as the button was pressed, a gap was cracked on the right wall of the door, and then slowly opened, there was a very well hidden built-in shoe cabinet.

There are three layers of shoe cabinets. Except for the third layer, which is still intact, the partition between the first and second layers has been broken, and all kinds of shoes are mixed together.

After sorting, there are two pairs of men's leather shoes, a pair of women's red high-heeled shoes, and three pairs of women's casual shoes.

The woman with moles on her lips picked out a pair of 3 pairs of casual shoes and placed it next to her red high heels. "These two pairs of shoes should belong to the same person."

The remaining 2 pairs of casual shoes obviously belong to a younger girl, and the two pairs of shoes are exactly the same size.

On the third floor is a pair of men's sports shoes. After comparison, the size is quite different from that of men's leather shoes.

"At present, this villa once lived in a family of four, the host, the hostess, and a girl and a boy," the girl looked up and said, "This can also be matched with the distribution of bedrooms on the second floor. Master bedroom for his and her hosts, as well as a bedroom for the girls, and a bedroom for the boys."
