Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

The corners of Ming Yue's lips curled up, "No, this is just a trick to take advantage of time."

Akai Shuichi looked at the ruins of the bell tower. Seven corpses were carried out from the ruins, although some traces were erased due to the explosion. But the person who caused the explosion probably did not expect that Mingyue and the others would dismantle the explosives in the clock, which also resulted in some evidence being preserved in the clock tower.

"Is there anything unusual about the time in the clock tower?" Ireland looked at Rai.

Akai Shuichi shook his head, "I don't know." After saying that, he looked at Mingyue holding milk tea and thought: She should know, she has stayed awake for seventy-two hours, and it seems that she can still maintain this state. For a long time, it has been said that I am indeed not qualified as a bodyguard.

Thinking of medicine, Akai Shuichi thought of the purple reagent and the amazing degree of recovery.

"I heard that the speed of time inside the clock tower is different from the speed of time outside. There are even rumors that the clock tower can reverse the passage of time." Ikumi Gunada looked at the body on the stretcher with her beautiful eyes, "There are clocks in the clock tower, right? Did you see the time on the clock when you left?"

"The last time I saw it was 11:45, when we carried out the first blast." Shuichi Akai remembers it clearly.

Ikumi Gunda held her chin with one hand and thought carefully, "When we heard the muffled sound, I didn't pay much attention to the time on the watch, but it should be very close to the time you said. Then we heard the bell. And it’s the chimes from three bell towers at the same time.”

"This is very strange. I only heard the bells from the 'Now' clock tower before, but today at noon I heard the bells from all three bell towers." Ireland took out his mobile phone and handed the photo of the tombstone to Ley. “Do you feel that the scene in this poem is very similar to today?”

The poem behind the tombstone of ancient Erundian

Mingyue and Miyano Shiho both looked at their phones, and Akai Shuichi cooperated by showing the contents of the phone in front of the two girls.

"Perhaps the bones of sinful beasts refer to them." Mingyue looked at the seven body bags in the distance, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining brightly on them.

Miyano Shiho felt that his ears were too clean, with only the chirping of tired birds returning to their nests and the subtle chirping of insects in the distance. He couldn't help but recall the numb ticking sound he heard in the bell tower, "The end of time should refer to all All the clocks stopped running, and the sound of the clocks suddenly disappeared, which I am still not used to."

"Sister Shiho, what kind of clock do you like?" Ming Yue looked at Miyano Shiho excitedly, but Miyano Shiho turned his head away from Ming Yue and seemed to be still angry.

Ikumi Gunada looked at the quarreling girls with a smile, pointed to the second line on the photo and said: "Shikodi is the goddess in charge of the 'future'. According to legend, she usually hides her beauty behind a veil, hiding the truth from others. , holding a book in his hand, but never opening it to read, everything is the opposite here."

Shuichi Akai said with a cold handsome face, two words: "Prophecy!"

"I heard that the famous prophet entered the bell tower with you." Gunda Ikumi smiled charmingly, "He has already predicted the death of Mrs. Time and Miss Forever, and he was treated as a distinguished guest by the former owner. .”

Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Gunda Ikumi, "He is indeed very powerful, and he was right about the death of six people. Although he said that everyone in the clock tower would die, we survived. Right, Shiho-san."

However, Miyano Shiho just glanced at the bright moon, looked away, and continued to sulk.

"Eh? If that's the case, why did he enter the clock tower? If his death date was predicted, wouldn't he change it?" Gunda Ikumi looked at the body bag.

Mingyue looked at the setting sun, "Maybe he thought about changing, but was unable to do anything. He stood in front of the six people before we entered the bell tower and gave a hint, but no one believed it. Maybe he thought he was crazy. Maybe he just wants to attract attention."

"Maybe he saw his own death and accepted it honestly." Miyano Shiho murmured softly.

Mingyue looked at Miyano Shiho and found that the beauty of the sunset was reflected in her eyes, but the sun was setting in the west, and night had fallen in an instant. In the clear night sky, there were stars and moon.

"What about you? Since we gave the warning, why did you go in?" Gunda Ikumi was a little confused.

Mingyue said with a smile: "Sister Qiantian, suddenly someone told you that you are going to die soon. Do you believe it?"

Gunda Ikumi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "There are indeed some things that cannot be deduced backwards. Using known results to deduce the causes is the wrong way."

"Today should be the 'day of execution' mentioned in the poem, and today is also Miss Forever's birthday." Ireland looked at the bright moon, and there were dozens of small black beads on her gray hair.

When no one answered, he continued: "Gu Ezhi asked a very strange question this morning. If he could go back in time, what would he do?"

"Then did he give an answer?" Mingyue looked at Ireland.

"His thoughts are the same as mine, he wants to return to his childhood." Gunda looked gloomily at Gu Ezhi, who was still being questioned by the police officer in the distance. He was still dressed in black, gentle and elegant, and always had a warm smile on his face. .

Mingyue also looked at Gu Ezhi, but she thought of another person, a gentle man with the same smile on his face - Suzumiya Yoruichi.

At this time, Henggou Jugo, who had a triangular crew cut, moved a stool and sat down in front of several people. He held a police officer's manual and a pen in his hand. His eyes scanned the crowd and finally landed on Ming Yue, "What do you mean? The knife cut the murderer."

Mingyue nodded, "Right arm, here."

"We found a stab wound at this location on Mikoto's body at Kokoji Temple." Shigego Yokomori frowned and continued, "The order of their death is Atsushi Utsumi, Noriko Koshimizu, Shigero Kobayakawa, Saki Jun Kawahara, and Nonomiya Tai Qi, Fukunishi Ryota, and Kokoji Mikoto.”

"Well, that's right." Akai Hide nodded.

"One day ago, between 6:30 and 7:00 in the morning, someone attacked you through the secret passage." Henggou Shigego looked at the records in the notebook, "Only Mikoto of Guangming Temple was missing during this time, right?"

"We haven't seen her since the séance three days ago, the day we entered the bell tower."

"The murderer who attacked you was Mikoto Kokoji. She was eventually poisoned by taking too much hallucinogen. After entering the hallucination, she died of exhaustion." Yokomori Shuugo closed the book and stared at Akai Shuichi, "I don't think so. Understand, if she was the murderer why would she take so many hallucinogens?”

Mingyue looked at Henggou Shigego, "Maybe she is just a scapegoat? Officer Henggou, why did Mitsue Terai want to kill the prince? We have no grievances against her."

"Hmm..." Henggou Shigego clenched his chin and thought seriously, "Actually, we also detected hallucinogens in her body. In fact, I also doubt whether you are also under the influence of hallucinogens, so what you said orally I don’t believe the information, those may be all your illusions.”

The corner of Ming Yue's lips curled up, and she felt that the police officer in front of her was more and more interesting. If Officer Megure was here, he might have determined that Mikoto Kokoji was the serial murderer in this case.

He reached out and touched the watch movement in his pocket, "Officer Henggou, do you believe in anything? Prophecy?"

"I don't believe that kind of stuff at all!" Yokomori Shigego looked at Koechi, who was still talking about the prophecy with other police officers, feeling a little disgusted in his heart, and continued, "The pen you are talking about is the same as Mikoto Kokoji's. I found out about the transaction, but did you really bribe Mikoto Kokoji to come in just out of curiosity?"

"Well, I haven't seen a ghost after all, so I'm very curious."

After hearing what Mingyue said, a tic-tac-toe appeared on Yokomori's forehead and he looked at Akai Shuichi, "You must set an example and establish a correct worldview for your children instead of bringing them to such a dangerous place!"

A drop of cold sweat hung on Akai Shuichi's cheek, feeling slightly embarrassed, "Uh..."

Ireland almost laughed out loud when he saw Rai so embarrassed, but in the end he received another lesson from Yokomori Shugo.

"The same goes for you. How old you are, and you still look for ghosts everywhere."

Ikumi Gunda looked at the ground, rubbed her nose, and looked away from the two embarrassed men. "If you are under the influence of hallucinogens, everyone should see a different scene. This is not a serial confession." It can be done. Officer Henggou, are there any contradictions in the testimonies of the four of them?"

Yokomori Jugo took a deep breath, "What a pity. Their confessions are almost exactly the same, especially about time." After speaking, he looked at the remains of the clock in the ruins, gritted his back teeth and said, "Because there are everywhere in the clock tower. They’re all clocks.”

"Nonomiya Taisachi was killed by Fukunishi Ryouta. Is this consistent?" Gunda Ikumi suddenly asked.

Yokomori Shigego glanced at Gunda Ikumi and nodded reluctantly, "And judging from the corpse, he was indeed pierced into the heart by an arrow and died on the spot. No matter how much I don't believe your testimony, I , but the facts are there.”

At this time, the owner Furu Echi, the housekeeper Ibo Yuko and the maid Mitsue Terai came over.

Gu Ezhi still had a gentle smile on his face, "Officer Henggou, the incident has been found out, right? All of this was done by Mikoto Guangmingji, but evil people have evil consequences. She drugged others, and eventually she herself was poisoned and died. "

"But..." Mingyue looked at Mitsue Terai with a troubled face, and said timidly, "Why did Sister Terai want to kill the prince?"

After hearing this, Mitsue Terai immediately made a ninety-degree bow, "I'm sorry, I was not clear-headed at that time, and I put Mr. Zhuxing on the spot as the murderer who wanted to kill me. Now that I think about it, I really did something very excessive. I hope you can You can forgive me. At that time, I felt like I was being manipulated, and now I feel scared when I think about it..."

After Terai Mitsue said something, he still maintained his bowing posture, and a few tears appeared on the ground.

"Please forgive this child." Butler Ibo looked nervous, as if he was afraid of hearing Akai Shuichi's words of rejection.

Mitsue Terai said in a tearful voice: "I can kneel down until you are willing to forgive me." After that, he knelt down.

"No need, I'm not injured." Akai Shuichi said with a cold face, but in his heart he was speculating on how much truth the other person's words contained.

Mitsue Terai immediately burst into tears of joy, "Thank you so much, Mr. Morohoshi, you are such a magnanimous person."

Mingyue looked at Mitsue Terai and Butler Ibo who kept spitting out rainbow farts. Even the owner of the museum, Koechi, was thanking Shuichi Akai. Although Akai Shuichi's face was still full of indifference and he looked at the other party expressionlessly, Ming Yue felt very uncomfortable.

"Officer Henggou, is it true that a person who kills someone or attempts to kill someone can continue to live with peace of mind as long as he obtains the forgiveness of the victim?" Mingyue's lips curled up slightly.

Henggou Shigego didn't seem to expect that Mingyue would ask this question, and was slightly stunned for a moment.

But when Mingyue saw the expressions of the three people who were still happily thanking for their forgiveness just now, their expressions became slightly stiff, and the original smiles on their faces faded a lot. Gu Ezhi's eyes contained some different emotions.

"Then, then..." Mitsue Terai's eyes were rolling, he seemed very nervous, but he didn't know what to do.

Yokomori Shigego was already having a headache from this case, and now the witnesses were still arguing with each other. He couldn't help but press his temples and shouted loudly: "Stop arguing now, this case is not over yet!"

Mingyue's lips curled up slightly, this detective was really interesting.

"Now leaving aside Mikoto Kokoji who died of poisoning and Taichi Nonomiya who was killed by Ryota Fukunishi, I think the murderer of the remaining five people is among you." Yokomori Shigego glanced with suspicion. Everyone.

Butler Yibo looked confused, "We have been outside the museum, so we shouldn't be able to kill those five people."

"Officer, there are mechanical doors between the bell towers. The mechanical doors cannot be opened without time." The museum owner Gu Ezhi looked at the ruins of the bell tower, sighed silently, and continued, "The four of us outside the museum There should be no suspicion."

Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Terai Mitsue, "That's not necessarily true, Sister Mitsue, I found the key to open the machine door on you~"

"Yes, I killed them because they deserved to die." Mitsue Terai changed her previous weakness. At this time, she was very calm, clenching her hands into fists and lowering her head.

However, the smile on Gu Ezhi's face disappeared at this time, and he looked at Mitsui Terai with a look of disbelief, "No, you won't do this."

"I did it all," Mitsue Terai raised his head and faced Shigego Yokomori, "I killed them in order to avenge my sister."

Henggou Chongwu felt that everything happened too suddenly. He frowned and looked at Mingyue, "Where is the key?"

"Na~" Mingyue took out the arc key and handed it to Henggou Shigego.

But Butler Yibo stood up and said: "Officer, the key is on the girl, not on Guangjiang. And if you just take out a key and say it is for an agency door, will we believe it?"

Mingyue smiled, "Believe it or not, the police officers from the forensics department should be able to investigate clearly. Moreover, we have defused all the bombs in the clocks on the third floor of the 'Future' clock tower, so the agency doors there should be better preserved. Better."

"But this also aggravates your suspicion." Henggou Shigego handed the key to the forensic department, "I think everyone here is suspicious."

Akai Shuichi glanced at Mingyue. Although he had checked the timeline with Ireland before and learned that the deliberate actions of the owner and the housekeeper were strange, time had proved that they were not the ones who did these things.

Yokomori Shigego looked at Mitsue Terai, "You said you killed Ryota Fukunishi, how did you kill him? As far as I know, when Ryota Fukunishi killed Taichi Nonomiya, he was holding a cross in his hand. A bow. How did that crossbow get into your hands?"

Mitsue Terai's eyes rolled, and cold sweat slowly broke out on his forehead, "After he killed Mr. Nonomiya, I took the crossbow away..."

"Can you do this alone in such a dark environment?" Henggou Shigego's eyes were filled with doubt.

Mitsue Terai's hands were folded on her chest, and her ten fingers were intertwined with each other. Just like her current mood, she was very uneasy, "I... I worked with Mikoto Kokoji to subdue Mr. Fushi, and then... then Take the crossbow."

"Really? Then you were the one who poisoned Mikoto Kokoji?" Yokogawa Shigego wrote in the police officer's manual, "Since we are an accomplice, why did you kill Mikoto Kokoji?"

Mitsue Terai's eyes dodge, "Because...because she injured me, and she wanted to kill me, so...so I killed her first."

Yokomori Shigego looked at the wound on Mitsue Terai's forehead. Although it was bandaged, it didn't look serious. If according to what she said, he injured her first, then cooperated, and then poisoned the other party to death. It's so weird, and it's even weirder when Mitsue Terai looks like this.

"Then do you know why Kokoji Mikoto killed other people?"

Mitsue Terai said without hesitation: "Because she is possessed by Miss Eternal. She is not Mikoto Kokoji, but Eternal Ko'a."

Hengmou Shigego couldn't help it, rolled his eyes, and said seriously and solemnly: "Miss Terai, please answer me seriously."

"What I said is true. After the séance, Miss Forever has been possessing Mikoto of Guangmingji Temple. It is Miss Forever's revenge. She wants to kill those who hurt her back then."

A huge tic-tac-toe appeared on Henggou Shigego's forehead, and veins bulged on the back of his hands, "I don't think ghosts can possess people and kill people!"

Akai Shuichi noticed that Ming Yue's shoulders were shaking and seemed to be snickering. Miyano Shiho secretly looked at Ming Yue. Although he remained silent, Akai Shuichi could tell that Miyano Shiho had always cared about Ming Yue. Even if he was angry, he never left Ming Yue's side.

"Little sister, what are you laughing at?" Mingyue's small movements still attracted the attention of Gunda Ikumi.

Mingyue smiled with crooked eyebrows and said softly: "This is indeed a ghost murder, but it is not Gu E Yong, but the previous owner Gu E Lundian."

Henggou Jugo took a deep breath and was about to give a lecture when he heard Ming Yue continue.

"Both the bomb in the clock and the explosives at the bottom of the bell tower were actually arranged by Gu Elundi when he was still alive, and he also engraved these on his tombstone."

Henggou Zhongwu looked at Mingyue, "I agree that the explosives in the bell tower were made by Gu E Lundian, but the explosion did not cause anyone to die. Also, Gu E Yong did commit suicide ten years ago, although those knife wounds were very serious. Deep, but many people saw her commit suicide."

"Could it be that he committed suicide after taking hallucinogens and hallucinating?" Akai Shuichi asked.

Henggou Zhongwu shook his head and looked at the seven body bags, "Four of them witnessed Gu'e's eternal suicide, but I will not believe that ghosts kill people, if it is really to give Gu'e If you want to take revenge forever." Henggou Shigego pointed at the owner Gu Ezhi and the housekeeper Yuko Iba, "You are the most suspicious."

"Officer, it's impossible for us to commit a crime in terms of time." Gu Ezhi looked at Ireland and Gunda Ikumi, "These two have been with us all the time. They can testify for us, and I don't believe that Terai will do what she did. Those things don’t make sense in many places, do they?”

Henggou Chongwu looked at Gu Ezhi's unchanging smile and felt his scalp numb.

"Mr. Museum Owner, can you tell me why Mr. Gu E built these three bell towers?" Mingyue looked at Gu Ezhi with a smile.

The smile on Gu Ezhi's face became gentler, "These three bell towers were built for Miss Forever and Mrs. Time."

"But the ticking clock in the bell tower is very noisy." Mingyue took out the watch movement from her pocket and played with it in her hand. "And it's so dark in the bell tower that the windows can't be opened. They're closed like that. In the bell tower, no matter how cozy it is, it’s like being in prison.”

When Gu Ezhi saw the watch movement in Mingyue's hand, the smile on his face froze, "That's because the young lady and madam are both sick, and their illness can only be relieved by living in the bell tower."

Henggou Zhongwu looked at the ruins with a puzzled look on his face. Can diseases be cured by living in a place like this?

"You're talking about Mrs. Time, right? Miss Yong doesn't think so." Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Gu Ezhi, "If time could go back, Mr. Lundian wouldn't do such a thing."

The smile on Gu Ezhi's face disappeared little by little. He stared at the bright moon with wide eyes, "Indeed, if you knew the ending would be like this..."

"What riddles are you playing?" Henggou Shigego was a little dissatisfied. Looking at Mingyue, he felt that this girl was unusual.

Mingyue handed the watch movement in her hand to Henggou Shigego, "This is the watch movement I brought from the clock tower in the future. Can I let my brother from the forensics department check it? Maybe the mystery of time will be solved."

Although Henggou Shigego was a little suspicious, he still called someone from the Forensic Department to come over and inspect the watch movement.

Gu Ezhi's hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, Terai Mitsue's eyes wandered, but Butler Ibo lowered his head and looked at his toes.

Henggou Shigego squatted in front of Mingyue, "What exactly did you find?"

Mingyue looked at Gunda Ikumi, "My sister was a forensic doctor before, right?"

Gunda Ikumi nodded, "But I am a suspect now, and Officer Henggou does not allow me to touch those corpses."

"But the time of death is very critical~"

Gunda Ikumi's eyes lit up, "Huh? Little sister, you seem to know a lot."

"I have an older brother who is a private detective." Mingyue's eyebrows were curved.

Henggou Shigego looked at the book in his hand, "But your description mentioned the specific time of death. This time is probably more accurate than examining the burnt corpses."

"Officer Henggou, how many seconds are in a minute?" Mingyue suddenly asked.

Although Yokomori Shigego was confused, he still answered seriously: "One minute and sixty seconds, this is common sense."

Mingyue tilted her head and looked at the forensic police officer who was checking the watch movement next to her.

"Report, this watch movement only has fifty seconds per minute."

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, overturning all records of time.

Yokomori Shigego looked at the forensic officer with a look of shock on his face, "Are you sure? This watch movement was not damaged during the explosion, right?"

"Shall I find a few more pieces to test?" The forensic officer also hesitated.

"Go! Hurry!"

Miyano Shiho stared at Ming Yue's face, Ming Yue looked at Miyano Shiho with an obedient expression.

"You already knew?"

Ming Yue just grabbed Miyano Shiho's hand and put Miyano Shiho's fingertips on her wrist, "Shiho-san told me~"

Miyano Shiho still turned his face away, but his hand wrapped around Mingyue's slender wrist. Mingyue blinked, with a smile on her face.

Gu Ezhi said calmly: "These clocks are all made by Mr. Lundian. After running for so long, there will inevitably be some deviations."

Henggou Shigego scratched his hair irritably, "How can this be calculated? Why is the time calculated incorrectly?"

Shuichi Akai and Ireland were also calculating with pens and paper.

"In the early morning of the clock tower time in the future, the time outside the museum should be around 1:42 am." Shuichi Akai looked at his calculation process on the paper.

Ireland thought about it seriously, "At that time, I was resting alone in the guest room, and I didn't see the owner or the housekeeper."

"So it is possible that the person who killed Kawahara Sakijun was outside the clock tower." Yokomori Shigego looked at the results of his calculations, "If this is the derivation, there should be a difference between the time you entered the clock tower and the time you came out of the clock tower. But there is no clue in your confession."

"Yes, in three days, there is a twelve-hour time difference between inside the clock tower and outside the clock tower." Gunda Ikumi nodded, "When you went in, it was noon. When you came out, you should think it was night or early morning."

Miyano Shiho squeezed Mingyue's wrist and whispered, "Aren't you going to help them clear up their doubts?"

Ming Yue's face was filled with happiness and her eyes were shining, "Sister Shiho, do you want me to do this?"

"Get out of here early."

Mingyue whispered, "There will be fireworks later, and the starry sky is beautiful tonight. Although the night is dark, it can also be very gorgeous."

bang~

A firework slowly rose into the sky, lighting up the night sky with colorful brilliance.

"Fireworks are beautiful, but they are fleeting. I don't want you to die in the vast night like these fireworks." Miyano Shiho looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

Looking at Mingyue beside him, he showed a slightly bitter smile. Mingyue, you should soar in the sky like a bird, instead of being imprisoned in a cage. I will never let you enter the laboratory and become their research object.

"How are the repairs of the clocks in other clock towers?" Henggou Shigego frowned and walked around the ruins. Unfortunately, except for some clocks in the "Future" clock tower that were well preserved, the clocks in other clock towers were all because of the installation of micro bombs. , exploded after being affected by the fire. The core parts of the watch movement were damaged and difficult to recover.

Gu Ezhi looked at the ruins and said with a smile, "Clocks are all precision parts, and vibrations can also cause errors."

Akai Shuichi looked at Mingyue, "You should know the time error of the clock tower in the past."

"Yes, I know, and Sister Shiho also knows." Mingyue leaned against Miyano Shiho and looked at the fireworks in the sky.

Miyano Shiho sighed, "I just found out. In the past, the clock tower had one minute and seventy seconds, one hour and seventy minutes. Four hours less in a day. In the future, the clock tower will have one minute and fifty seconds, one hour and fifty minutes, and one day will be shorter." Four more hours. After thirty-six hours in the outside world, the two clock towers will overlap at six o'clock. It is at that time that we go from one clock tower to the other. After seventy-two hours in the outside world, the clock It will coincide again at twelve o'clock, which is also the time for us to go in and come out."

"Sister Shiho is so amazing~" Mingyue's eyes were bright and she looked excited.

Miyano Shiho glared at Mingyue angrily, "It seems like you haven't figured it out yet."

Mingyue looked cute.

Akai Shuichi thought for a while and then said: "So no matter which clock tower we go to in the beginning, as long as we stay in both clock towers, we can synchronize with the outside time."

Comparison table between Mansion time and Clock Tower time (PS: If you want to see more details, there is also one, but this is enough.)

Yokomori Shigego looked at the timetable calculated by the joint efforts of several people and fell into deep thought. "What we can confirm now is only the clock in the future bell tower. The results of the restoration of the clock in the past bell tower are very slim. These are just inferences."

Mingyue came over and found Mrs. Time's diary among a pile of evidence. "Mrs. Time carefully recorded every day of her life in the clock tower."

"But that diary was written half a year ago..." Henggou Zhongwu said mid-sentence, turning to look at Mingyue with shock in his eyes.

Mingyue tilted her head and said with a smile: "In the old clock tower, those watches ran slower than normal clocks. They would lose about two months a year and six months every three years. So they obviously lived in the clock tower. It lasted three years, but the diary only lasted two and a half years."

"In the last moments of her life, she wrote a diary seriously every day, and lived every day very seriously." Miyano Shiho looked at the thick diaries, "This is what she left in this world. trace."

Akai Shuichi stood next to the two girls, "So there is no other diary, these are all."

Henggou Shigego nodded, "This also proves that the time in the clock tower is different from the outside time, and all your alibi are useless."

The owner of the museum, Gu Ezhi, still smiled and said: "These are just your inferences."

"No, Officer Henggou allowed me to check the condition of the body. The time of death can basically be determined, and it matches the inferred time. The more important point is that Mikoto Mikoto had restraint injuries on her body, so she has long been controlled by you and became I will make you your scapegoat." Ikumi Gunda took off her white gloves gracefully.

The night wind ruffled my hair, the last firework withered in the night sky, and the surroundings fell into silence.

Ibo Yuko, who had been silent before, slowly spoke, "They all deserve to die. If it weren't for their misfortune, it wouldn't have happened."

"I killed him!" Gu Ezhi stood in front of Butler Yibo.

Mingyue sighed, "The knife that scratched the murderer was taken for testing. As long as there is blood, the DNA can be tested, and it will be clear who it is."

"I killed everyone." There was no expression on Ipami Yuko's face, as if she was describing an extremely simple thing, "If they hadn't dug traps and placed iron nails, my daughter Ipami Noriko would not have died. She was only nine years old at that time, an age where she likes to play and make trouble.”

Henggou Jugo frowned, "Why did you then..."

"It was an accident. Noriko accidentally fell into a trap, and Miss Forever committed suicide. She died of infection." A tear fell from Ibo Yuko's eyes, and she fell to the ground. The ground was torn apart.

Yokomori Shigego looked at Iba Yuko, "What about the other three people? Why do you want to kill them?"

"They deserve to die!" Mitsue Terai's eyes were red with circles. "That unscrupulous photographer only took photos and watched my sister being burned alive."

Gu Ezhi looked up at the starry sky, "My biological father believed Nonomiya Taiqi's prophecy and went out to do errands, but was accidentally robbed and stabbed to death." Gu Ezhi suddenly laughed, his face distorted, "Haha Haha, the funny thing is that Nonomiya Taichi said that day was a good day, and the funniest thing is that I have to follow my adoptive father's will to take care of that bad old man."

"Oh," Iwa Yuko looked at Mingyue and the others, "Do you know who Mikoto Kokoji is? She can use any means to become famous. The first person she framed was my husband. In order to save her, she was The person who was killed by a falling object was my husband."

Iwa Yuko walked up to Ming Yue, and Akai Shuichi stepped in front of Ming Yue.

"When I found out that you were not smoked at all, I wanted to find an opportunity to kill you, but I couldn't do it. You are too much like Miss Forever and Noriko." When Ibo Yuko said this, she seemed to be revealing. Guo Mingyue and Miyano Shiho saw the two girls who died in their blooming season.

The night is dark without fireworks, but fortunately there are stars and moon.

In the hotel, Mingyue stood in front of the window, looking at the ruins of the bell tower in the distance.

Akai Shuichi appeared quietly behind Mingyue, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Well, I can't sleep. It seems that your leg is basically healed." Mingyue looked at Akai Shuichi's injured leg.

"It's just a scratch on my skin when I landed on the ground. It's basically no big deal." Shuichi Akai looked out the window at the night, "Will time really go back?"

The corners of Mingyue's lips curled up, as if jokingly, she said, "Maybe it will happen."

"Gu'e lived in the clock tower of the past for three years, and Gu'e lived in the clock tower of the future for five years forever. Do they regret being locked up in that dark clock tower? There are also those people who have stayed where they are and watched the past. But I don’t want to take a step forward.”

Mingyue raised her eyes to look at Akai Shuichi, who had an indifferent expression, full of suspicion, "Your Majesty, those words don't seem like something you can say, they are more like..." They are more like what Uncle Wuwu said, the one who is always caring silently. , he can tell a lot of truths in his mouth, which allows people to face all the ups and downs with a smile during the trough period.

"Huh? What do you think it's more like?" Akai Shuichi looked at Mingyue.

Mingyue smiled and shook her head, "Nothing." Her purple eyes met those inquiring dark green eyes, "Did you know? If Gu'e was still alive forever and still lived in the clock tower of the future, then today would be her twenty-eighth day. birthday. Twenty-eight is also the age when her mother died."

"So the silent goddesses in the poem refer to them two?"

"Yes, the prison of fate refers to the tragic fate of the two of them. After all, their endings have already been determined."

Akai Shuichi's eyes were slightly cold, "So you said that ghosts kill people, and this ghost is Gu'elundian. In other words, Gu'alundian planned to kill these people from the beginning?"

Mingyue shook her head slightly, "The skeletons of sinful beasts should actually refer to these three bell towers. After all, no one knows what the future will bring, so how can they predict everything."

"Actually, Gu'e can never commit suicide."

"When faith collapses, it is the day of death. I guess who among the four people accidentally revealed the date or time. They originally thought that they were about to put on a wedding dress and become someone else's wife, but they were told that that day was still far away. Deception and betrayal , she chose to commit suicide."

Akai Shuichi looked into the distance in silence. The distant mountains were dormant in the dark night, and the dark blue sky stretched as far as the eye could see.

"If only I could know my end day."

The moonlight is like water, shining on the bright moon, like a veil covering it.

The door behind him was opened, Miyano Shiho looked at the bright moon with red eyes, a tear rolled out of his eye socket, and shattered in the moonlight.

Preview of the next chapter: Mingyue sighed, "I will never draw lots again, the lottery is so accurate." After saying that, she looked at the lottery paper in her hand: Big disaster [the hidden secret will be revealed].

(PS: If there is anything unclear about the case, you can ask directly.)
