"Once in a lifetime? What do you mean?"

Jun Li didn't get what Bai Ze said and was confused at this time: "Isn't Yang Ming's death bad news for us? Why do you say that good things are rare?"

Bai Ze chuckled and shook his head, looking at Jun Li: "Didn't I say before that it would be more convenient for Li Gui to kill people if each resident went back to their own house and locked the door, because then no one would know how the deceased died, who killed him, and when he was killed."

"Well, you said at the time that if we wanted to find Li Gui as a starting point, we should gather the residents together, so that Li Gui would be exposed when he kills people."

Bai Ze nodded, poured himself a glass of water and cleared his throat: "Jun Li, since we know that Li Gui will not kill anyone tonight, that means that Yang Ming will definitely not die, right?"

"Ah."

"So what are the consequences? Yang Ming will be convicted of murder the next day and will be judged by the residents."

"When Yang Ming dies, the residents will know that the real murderer is dead. Will they then let down their guard?"

Bai Ze's eyes flashed with a dark current, and then he slowly spoke: "As long as we can find an opportunity to get the residents together to celebrate by making them mistakenly believe that the murderer is dead, then wouldn't it be natural for us to gather the residents together?"

Jun Li was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "So Li Gui would kill people right under everyone's noses. If we pay close attention to everyone's movements that night, we can find the person who was swapped."

"Yes."

Bai Ze seemed extremely satisfied that Jun Li could follow his train of thought, and praised him for the first time: "Not too stupid."

"Your wife is so smart, how can you be any worse than your husband?"

Jun Li once again held Bai Ze on his lap in a frivolous manner, silently admiring his enchantingly beautiful face.

"If my little wife was a little girl, I wouldn't know how beautiful our children would be."

Jun Li buried his face in Bai Ze's neck. It was originally just a joke, but Bai Ze gently clenched the teacup. He pursed his lips and seemed to want to say something but still didn't make a sound.

Jun Li hadn't realized that Bai Ze seemed to be in a bad mood. He wanted to kiss Bai Ze's face but Bai Ze turned his head away with a slight resistance.

"what happened?"

"It's okay. I don't really want to kiss you right now."

Bai Ze left his arms silently and then drank the hot water in his hand. Jun Li didn't understand why Bai Ze seemed angry again and was about to speak when he heard Sun Hua calling him to eat outside.

"Let's go, have a good sleep after dinner, and then proceed with the plan tomorrow."

"Ah."

Sun Hua outside prepared dinner as usual, but this time He Rui did not come out for a long time. Jun Li looked meaningfully at Li Jun who was eating voraciously at the table, but still said nothing.

He Rui walked out of the house silently halfway through his meal, but this time his legs were trembling as if he was lame and he was holding on to the wall, and there was an unknown stain on his pants.

"You... this is..."

Jun Li frowned slightly, looked at the stain on the pants, then looked at He Rui's trembling and pale face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He Rui's face became even uglier. He forced a smile and stammered, "Ah... I... I accidentally got a leg cramp... I spilled milk on my pants this morning... I'll go wash it myself later..."

Sun Hua came over and said enthusiastically, "Why don't you give me your pants? I have to wash Zhou Ang's clothes later, so I'll wash yours as well."

He Rui hurriedly turned sideways to block the stain, sweating on his forehead: "No... no need... I'll just rub it off myself in a while."

"Ah good."

Sun Hua's hand froze in the air and she put it down with a little embarrassment. He Rui nodded at her, walked sideways into the bathroom and closed the door.

Jun Li listened to the washing sound inside and glanced at Bai Ze. After they finished their meal, He Rui came out with wet hair.

"You also took a bath?"

"Ah... I accidentally spilled water on myself while washing clothes just now, so..."

He Rui pursed his lips and said nothing. He sat at the dining table and ate the leftovers in silence. Seeing this, Sun Hua went to the kitchen and fried two poached eggs and put them in He Rui's bowl.

He Rui reluctantly said thank you and continued to eat. No wonder he was nicknamed "Rat" since he was so timid while eating.

...

After dinner, Jun Li and Bai Ze waited for the residents to come out as usual. As they expected, no one died that night. It seemed that Yang Ming was doomed.

"You son of a bitch, and you still say you didn't kill anyone!"

The angry residents punched and kicked Yang Ming, who was tied up on the ground, and tortured him until he was dying and vomiting blood. He could not speak clearly and could only fall to the ground and sob in pain.

"Everyone saw it, right? After he was tied up, no one died last night! He is the murderer. He killed so many people and locked us up here!!!"

"Everyone, kill him! Get rid of this evil for the people!!"

"kill him!!"

Lao Fan stepped forward again to persuade them: "Everyone calm down! We are now in a society ruled by law, we have no right to kill people! If it was really Yang Ming who killed someone, then we should hand him over to the police!"

Finally, someone in the crowd expressed dissatisfaction: "Oh, I don't understand, Lao Fan! What does this guy have to do with you? Why are you defending him so much?"

"That's right! Isn't it obvious that he's a murderer? We tied him up for a whole day yesterday, and now no one is dead! Even he himself is not dead! Isn't this obvious enough?"

Seeing that the crowd was out of control, Lao Fan stepped back and said with a cold sweat, "I'm not trying to stop you from doing this, I just want you to calm down and think about whether this is a trick of the murderer!"

Jun Li frowned slightly... This old man...

"Think about it! If Yang Ming is really the murderer, then it's too obvious! Why would he dump the body in front of his own house? Isn't this just to make himself more suspicious?"

"And think about it! The fact that the murderer was able to kill so many people quietly shows that he is very meticulous and there is no way he could be caught so easily by us!"

Lao Fan's words gradually calmed the resident down. Seeing this, he quickly took the opportunity to say, "Moreover! The most important thing for us now is to open the door on the first floor! If he is the murderer, then we should find a way to make him open the security iron door!! And then let him restore our cell phone signal to call the police!! "

"We can't kill him now! Otherwise we will be trapped here and die!"

The residents thought what he said made sense and rushed forward to force Yang Ming to open the security door on the first floor. Yang Ming had no ability to open the door and shook his head desperately on the ground, tears mixed with blood flowing on the ground.

"What the hell! He won't listen to anything. What can I do?"

"You're still stubborn! Let's tie him up here and take turns guarding him from now on! If we don't give him food or water, he'll give in sooner or later!!"

Yang Ming listened to the extremely vicious words spoken by the group of devil-like residents, staring in horror, whimpering and struggling desperately. The residents noticed something was wrong with Yang Ming and kicked him in the chest.

"Behave yourself! If you don't give in, you'll starve to death right here!"

"From now on, everyone will take turns on duty every two hours! Find a way to make him loosen up!"

"I'll be guarding here for a while! I'll give him a good beating!"

The residents were preparing to leave, cursing: "After living in fear for so long, we can finally get a good night's sleep tonight!"

"That's right! We finally caught this evil guy! When I get out, I'll take him to the police station and shoot him!"

"Hey! Now that the suspects have been caught, why don't we celebrate tonight and have a drink!!"

Jun Li spoke again and the response was quite positive. It was probably because everyone had been tortured and worried recently that they wanted to indulge themselves, and more and more people raised their hands and said that they would provide the ingredients.

Seeing this, Lao Fan said, "If you don't mind, my house will provide the venue. How about everyone come to my house tonight to get together?"

The residents cheered loudly and enthusiastically, and went home to move out the little food they had left in their homes to prepare for a good celebration tonight.

Jun Li turned around silently and returned to the fifth floor. Bai Ze glanced at him and chuckled, "It will probably be lively tonight."
