All the communication equipment on the island could not be used, and as time went by, everyone began to feel anxious.

"Isn't there any yachts and boats for such a big island?" Zhong Ran's boyfriend, Qu Rui, had an ugly face and was emotionally unstable.

Zhong Ran looked down on his appearance, and pushed him, "Why are you in a hurry, isn't it because there is no signal, maybe there is something wrong with the scheduled boat, and it will come to pick us up tomorrow morning."

"You know what!" Qu Rui fell into a state of extreme unease. It was the first time since they fell in love that they yelled loudly at Zhong Ran, which made Zhong Ran stunned.

When she came back to her senses, Zhong Ran raised her hand and slapped him, but Qu Rui's sinister eyes made her whole body tremble, she withdrew her hand, tears welled up in her eyes, "You...why are you so fierce? Scared the hell out of me..."

However, this time Qu Rui did not come over to coax her as usual, but stood beside her with a cold face, frowning, and remained silent.

"The rabbit bites when it's anxious." Meng Yangyu whispered next to Xie Ya.

Xie Ya didn't make any comments on this, he just felt that Qu Rui was a little abnormal, and logically speaking, he shouldn't be afraid of becoming like this, does he know something inside

"Qu Rui is right. There is a yacht prepared on the island. We can take that to go back. I will drive it." As soon as Gou Xinbai said this, everyone's hearts fell to the ground.

They walked to the dock dedicated to parking yachts, and sure enough there was a yacht parked there.

"Great! Let's go! I don't want to stay here." Qu Rui's eyes lit up, and he strode forward.

Gou Xinbai stopped him and said, "We have to wait until tomorrow morning to go back, it's not safe at night, and..."

He looked at the dark cloud-topped sky and said, "There may be heavy rain in a while."

The sea breeze is howling, the tide is constantly beating on the wall, and the wind and rain are about to come.

Qu Rui tried several times to persuade Gou Xinbai to leave now before the rainstorm came. Gou Xinbai looked at him in embarrassment and said, "Even if we leave now, maybe the yacht will drive to the middle of the sea, and the rainstorm will come, which will be even more dangerous."

"It just looks scary today, maybe it won't rain, and nothing will happen." Qu Rui chased Gou Xinbai and kept trying to convince him.

"What's the big deal, you're in such a hurry to go back? To be on the safe side, go back tomorrow morning. There's everything in the villa, young man, just bear it all night." A middle-aged man persuaded.

Xie Ya looked at him, it was the butcher.

"That's right Brother Qu, Uncle Xing is right, safety is the most important thing." Yu Jianying followed up to persuade Qu Rui.

Qu Rui kept his face sullen and didn't say a word, and everyone took him for acquiescing.

Yu Jianying took the initiative to go into the kitchen and said to cook some dinner for everyone, Xie Ya had something to ask him, "Jianying, I'll help."

"Okay, thank you senior."

Because there were so many people, the two simply cooked noodles, "Senior, how many bowls do you want?"

"Twelve...eleven is fine." Xie Ya suddenly remembered that Ji Lingqu was not there, and naturally remembered what happened last night. Every time Ji Lingqu got angry, he would run away alone. A day passed and he didn't show up. He should be very angry this time, and he doesn't know when he will calm down.

Pour a bowl of cold water into the tumbling hot pot, and stir it twice with chopsticks to prevent sticking to the pot.

"Da da da..." Big raindrops hit the glass window, and the night wind blew past the window, shaking the banana leaf constantly, as if it was about to break in a second.

"Hiss...the wind is so strong tonight, it sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling." Yu Jianying arranged the bowls and put condiments in them.

Xie Ya stared out the window, feeling uneasy for no reason, "Yes."

Throwing the vegetable leaves in, Xie Ya asked Yu Jianying in a timely manner, "How is senior sister? I don't think she looks very well today."

"Huh? No, my sister has always been in good health. She just had a physical examination in February this year. Maybe she is too busy recently, and she is too tired to prepare for the wedding. I ran with her once, and I have psychological shadows." I don't want to get married anymore." Yu Jianying bared her teeth, showing resistance.

"Really? Maybe when you meet your true love, you can't wait to have a wedding, like senior sister and the others." Xie Ya followed Yu Jianying's words.

Yu Jianying really had a pure heart, she didn't realize that Xie Ya was playing tricks on him, "Hahahaha, yes, my sister and brother-in-law are really in love, they've only been in love for half a year."

"It's only been half a year? Then how did they know each other?" Xie Ya suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to ask.

"It seems that we met because of a project. My brother-in-law visited my sister's company, fell in love with my sister at first sight, and immediately began to pursue her. It didn't take long for the two to be together." Yu Jianying couldn't help laughing and said: " My elder sister is Yan Kong, she just likes handsome guys, my brother-in-law is so handsome, gentle and considerate, it will not be a matter of time before my sister falls."

Xie Ya looked around the huge kitchen, thinking that he is not only handsome but also rich, it is hard for ordinary people not to be tempted.

He was lost in thought, and Ji Lingqu's face suddenly flashed in his mind. Speaking of which, Ji Lingqu is also tall, rich and handsome, and the degree of wealth is not comparable to that of Gou Xinbai.

Xie Ya learned from Yu Jianying that the middle-aged man was indeed a butcher, his name was Xing Hongbin, he was the neighbor of the Yu family, he sold pork, and of course he also sold chicken, sheep and cattle.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.

Xie Ya was originally in the same room as Ji Lingqu, and Meng Yangyu lived next door to him.

"Senior Ding is also a bull, but he has stayed until now, isn't he afraid that his senior sister's husband will beat him?" Meng Yangyu reached out to hook Xie Ya's shoulders, gossiping.

"It should be because they drank too much last night. Both of them are in the past. Don't keep talking about it. Maybe Mr. Gou doesn't know about it at all." Xie Ya warned.

Meng Yangyu thinks about it too, if he caused the senior sister and her husband to quarrel because of his mouth, then he would be a sinner.

The two parted at the door, each went back to the room, Xie Ya went into the bathroom to take a shower, it was already [-]:[-] when they came out, the rainstorm outside wet the bay window, Xie Ya hurried over and closed the window.

I don't know where Ji Lingqu is. If it is raining so much, if it is still on the island, where can I take shelter from the rain?

For a moment, Xie Ya felt a little worried.

Lowering his eyelashes, he seemed to have returned to his childhood, when he missed his parents and could never find them.

He suddenly realized that no matter where he was, Ji Lingqu could easily find him, but if Ji Lingqu didn't take the initiative to show up, he would never be able to find him.

A sense of powerlessness enveloped him. If one day Ji Lingqu got tired of this kind of life and suddenly disappeared, he would probably have to be the same as before, pretending that nothing happened, and continue to live his life peacefully. , even though he has grown up, when faced with this kind of thing, he is still small and powerless.

Yawning, Xie Ya was a little sleepy, and was about to take a nap when he heard a knock on the door.

At first he thought it was the neighbor, and closed his eyes without getting up. After a few seconds, the knock on the door rang again, and this time he was sure that it was really the sound from his room door.

Lifting the quilt and getting out of bed to open the door, it should not be Meng Yangyu. Meng Yangyu usually doesn't knock on the door, but he smashes the door and yells.

The door of the room was opened, and an unexpected person stood outside the door.

"Mr. Qu? Do you need me?" Xie Ya was surprised by Qu Rui's visit. The two of them didn't know each other, and they didn't even exchange a word.

Qu Rui smiled, "Good evening, can I go in and say it?"

Xie Ya didn't think much, and let him enter the room sideways. Qu Rui smelled a faint mint smell in the air, and raised the corners of his lips: "Did you just take a shower?"

"En." Xie Ya nodded slightly, picked up the cup and poured water for him.

"I'll just do it myself." Qu Rui stretched out his hand to grab the cup in his hand, and the two hands accidentally touched each other. I don't know if it was Xie Ya's illusion, but he always felt that the touch was a bit sticky, like It's bugs crawling through.

"Why didn't you see your companion?" Qu Rui's eyes were filled with confusion, as if there were many inexplicable things hidden, which made Xie Ya feel a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, he has something to do, so he's going back first." Xie Ya could only say that. Otherwise, a big living person suddenly disappeared, and he was still so calm. People would probably suspect that he killed Ji Lingqu and threw his body into the sea.

"That's it...you two really..." Qu Rui's eyes were shining brightly, as if he couldn't find an adjective for a moment, he gestured with both hands and said, "Crazy!"

Xie Ya is really not used to this way of speaking, his reaction was flat, polite and alienated, "I'm too drunk."

"I thought you two had a good relationship, but I didn't expect him to leave you alone when you were hungover." Qu Rui raised her eyes to look at him, and there was something in her words.

As soon as Qu Rui came in, he felt that this person was yin and yang, and now he couldn't understand what the purpose of Qu Rui came to tell him these things, to sow discord?But what happened to him and Ji Lingqu, and what happened to Qu Rui, they were not familiar with each other.

"You're right, we have a very good relationship." Xie Ya was impatient to talk nonsense to him here, and was about to open his mouth to drive him away, when a piercing scream and the thunder outside cast a layer of haze over the entire island .

Xie Ya pushed open the door suddenly, Meng Yangyu opened the door at the same time as him, the two of them looked at each other, Meng Yangyu saw Qu Rui following out from Xie Ya's room, his eyes widened instantly, his lips murmured, as if there were thousands of words in his mouth Mouth surging.

"The screaming came from upstairs." Xie Ya said as he ran quickly to the third floor, which was the room of the Yu family.

The voice just now sounded like Yu Jinglei.

Xie Ya ran to the door of Yu Jinglei's room in three steps at a time. Yu Jinglei was shivering in her mother's arms, Pei Xiaorong. Pei Xiaorong didn't dare to look into the room at first. About to faint in a second, Yu Jianying was trembling all over, leaning her back against the wall, as if she hadn't recovered.

"What's going on?" Seeing their reactions, Xie Ya guessed that the situation was probably not good.

The four of them didn't speak, Xie Ya went straight in, the room was very spacious, the interior was decorated very warmly and festively, pink balloons were floating in the air, the carpet was covered with rose petals, and there were wedding photos of Yu Jinglei and Gou Xinbai hanging on the wall. , a pair of Bi people.

However, on the big bed covered with a crimson quilt, there was a person lying on his back with a dagger pierced in his heart, his eyes were wide open, and it seemed unbelievable what had happened.

Xie Ya stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, he was already dead.

All the people in the villa gathered outside the door, their eyes fell directly on Xie Ya, waiting for him to say something.

Xie Ya got up and shook his head to the people outside the door, "Mr. Gou has stopped breathing, his body is still warm, he should die soon."

He looked at the people outside the door, his gaze was as sharp as two sharp swords, "The murderer should be among us."

These words are like a heavy axe, completely smashing the calm ice surface, revealing the undercurrent surging lake water.

"What... what?!" Xing Hongbin was shocked and shouted, "Why do you conclude that the murderer is among us?"

He is unwilling to accept this matter. If the murderer is really among them, it means that he will have to stay in the same room as the murderer from now until tomorrow morning. What if the murderer kills indiscriminately?

He cherished his life very much, and the last thing he wanted to face was this possibility.

Everyone at the scene had the same thoughts as Xing Hongbin, and folded their arms to shrink themselves down, trying not to touch others. What if the person next to him is a murderer?

Xie Ya's words sent a chill to the already heavy scene, everyone's nerves tensed up and their faces turned ashen.

"Obviously, it's raining heavily outside, and the house is clean and dry. If the murderer came in from the outside, then there should be water stains or footprints in the room." Xie Ya carefully observed everyone's reactions, and threw them slowly. Another creepy answer: "Of course, there is another possibility that the murderer has been hiding in the villa before it rained, that is to say, except for the eleven of us, No. 12 people."

"Boom—" The thunder roared outside the window, and the lightning flashed, reflecting Xie Ya's stern face pale.

Everyone gasped, their hands and feet were cold, their scalp was numb, their heart was beating violently, their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, and the atmosphere of fear and despair suddenly enveloped the whole room. The two girls had already begun to sob softly.

After Xie Ya carefully inspected Gou Xinbai's body, he confirmed that there was no other trauma on his body. If he was not killed by poison, he should have been stabbed to death by this dagger.

"Yang Yu, come here." Xie Ya suddenly called Meng Yangyu over.

To tell the truth, Meng Yangyu was still a little apprehensive, but Xie Ya called him, and in front of so many people, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

"How... how?"

Xie Ya didn't look up, and said to him directly: "Come and see if Mr. Gou shows any signs of poisoning."

"Ah? I'm just a veterinarian, I've never seen a human being before." Meng Yangyu was still muttering in his heart, Xie Ya's last job was a programmer, and now he's an official job, why is he still a named detective.

"I tell you to watch it." Xie Ya made sure that, except for Meng Yangyu, no one was connected to the doctor. Although he was a veterinarian, in this situation, let's make do with it.

"I don't think...not." Meng Yangyu could only temporarily treat Gou Xinbai like those small animals in his hospital.

"Well, let's go, let's go to the living room." Xie Ya stood up, he must have squatted for a long time, and he was a little dizzy. He supported the foot of the bed to get better, when a bright light suddenly flashed, his brows frowned, and he squatted down again.

The headlight in the living room illuminated the whole room like daytime, and the light dispelled the coldness that seemed to be attached to the bones of everyone. Yu Jinglei held a cup of hot water in both hands, her eyes were slack, and her face was stained with tears. She was obviously still immersed in the wedding ceremony. In the grief of her husband's tragic death for no reason, she couldn't recover.

Xie Ya came back after washing his hands. Everyone had chosen a seat to sit down. He walked up to Meng Yangyu and sat down. When everyone saw him coming back, they all focused on him like a frightened bird.

"My condolences, senior. The most urgent thing now is to find the real culprit. After all, no one knows if the culprit will strike again."

"We separated at eight o'clock in the evening and went back to our rooms. That is to say, if there are no other circumstances, this is the last time for the rest of us to see Mr. Gou." Xie Ya looked around, Say, "Let's all talk about our timelines."

As soon as his words fell, Yu Bofei slapped the table, pointed at him with displeasure and said, "Since just now, you have been pointing fingers, talking about age, seniority, and social status, and it's never your turn. The kid is yelling here and there."

"Uncle Yu is right, let you finish everything alone, as if you have wiped yourself out, and deliberately said some terrible things, inciting everyone to speculate on each other, what are you at ease?" Yu Jinglei's ex-boyfriend Ding Shengwen, Ding Shengwen always liked to target Xie Ya when he was in school, after so many years, he never thought it would still be the same.

Xie Ya did not avoid Ding Shengwen's gaze, and asked him calmly, "Am I not right? It wasn't someone outside who committed the crime, nor was it among us. Could it be possible that Mr. Gou committed suicide?"

Ding Shengwen's throat was blocked, and Gou Xinbai had just married Meijiao Niang and had a lot of money. He would commit suicide only when he was crazy, not to mention that the situation did not look like suicide.

"I don't have to do this. Since Uncle Yu thinks I'm overreaching, it's better for me to shut up. Let's go, Yang Yu, and put the door behind the cabinet tonight. I should be able to live until tomorrow morning." Xie Ya After finishing speaking, she stood up gracefully and walked upstairs with big strides. Meng Yangyu stumbled after her.

"Xie Ya, I'm sorry, it's my dad who is serious. Don't take it to heart. You're right. The most urgent thing now is to find the real culprit quickly, so that people can't sleep at night because of the panic." Keeping his head down, as if lost Out of her wits, Yu Jinglei suddenly called out to stop Xie Ya.

Gou Xinbai was her husband, who killed her. If the murderer really planned to kill someone, as Gou Xinbai's wife, she should be the most likely to be the next victim. Xie Ya's words made her wake up like a dream. Survive, live to leave here tomorrow morning on a yacht.

Yu Bofei didn't expect Xie Ya to be so stubborn, and what Xie Ya said made his back break out in cold sweat. Even though they didn't like Xie Ya, they really needed Xie Ya's help to find the murderer.

Everyone with different thoughts, under the fear of being shrouded in death, dare not have any objections.

Xie Ya and Meng Yangyu sat back in their seats, Meng Yangyu looked at Xie Ya with admiration, oh my god, when did Lao Xie become a boss? !

"I entered the room at 45 o'clock. After taking a shower, I came out at [-]:[-]. I lay on the bed for a while. When I was about to go to bed, Mr. Qu knocked on my door. It should be around [-]:[-] at that time. The two of us We kept chatting until we heard the screams from the senior sister, and we went out together." Xie Ya's timeline was very simple, after he finished speaking, he saw Zhong Ran frowned, and asked Qu Rui next to him: "Go find him do what?"

Her voice was not low, and the others at the long table also looked at Qu Rui.

Qu Rui said calmly, "I saw Xie Ya going back to the room alone, and I was a little curious about where his companion went, so I went to ask."

Hearing what he said, everyone suddenly remembered, yes, where did the good-looking man next to Xie Ya go?They began to look at Xie Ya with unkind eyes. Could it be Xie Ya's companion who killed Gou Xinbai?

Xie Ya explained calmly: "He had a conflict with me last night and went back early this morning."

"Oh? I remember that's not what you said just now. You said that he left first because he had something to do." Qu Rui's gaze tightly clung to Xie Ya, implying something.

"It's normal for couples to have conflicts. There's nothing to say about it. Just like you and senior sister Zhong, didn't senior sister Zhong slap you on the boat yesterday, didn't you take it to heart?" Xie Ya just finished speaking, Qu Rui's complexion became ugly, and he stopped deliberately targeting him.

After Xie Ya was Meng Yangyu, and Meng Yangyu's timeline was simpler, since he entered the house he had never been out of the house, that is to say, no one could prove to him that he had never gone out.

"I've been reading novels in my room! This is my reading record!" Meng Yangyu didn't expect Xie Ya to be so stern and selfless, and he even doubted himself, so he hurriedly dug out the reading software on his mobile phone. It did show that he started from [-]:[-] At five minutes, until [-]:[-], that is when I heard Yu Jinglei screaming.

Xing Hongbin, Yu Bofei, Pei Xiaorong, Yu Jianying, and Ding Shengwen all said that they stayed in the room and did not go out. Yu Jinglei said that she went to the bar for a drink at 08:30, and when she returned to the room at [-]:[-], she saw the scene of Gou Xinbai being killed .

"I went out for a stroll at 35:[-], and returned to the room at [-]:[-], but I didn't see Qu Rui." Zhong Ran glanced at Qu Rui.

Qu Rui spread out her hands and said, "I was in Xie Ya's room at that time."

His eyes met Ding Shengwen who was opposite him, and he showed a meaningful smile, which made Ding Shengwen frown.

"Where have you been?" Xie Ya asked Zhong Ran.

Zhong Ran seemed very upset that Xie Ya suspected her, and said impatiently: "Just stroll around in the villa. I haven't visited since I came here. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Is there any problem?"

"No problem." Xie Ya was not angry because of her bad attitude, his gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight there, "Haven't you been to Senior Sister Yu's room?"

Zhong Ran's eyelashes flicked twice, and she calmly replied, "No, I'll disturb them."

"Really?" Xie Ya asked forcefully.

Zhong Ran was furious, "Xie Ya, what do you mean? Do you doubt me? With so many people, why do you only suspect me as a woman? Xinbai's figure is around 1.8 meters, can I kill him?"

She was just over 1.6 meters tall, and she was petite and thin. She really didn't seem to be able to kill someone as tall as Gou Xinbai.

"Really?" Xie Ya swept Zhong Ran's chest lightly, "Senior Zhong, where is your beautiful ruby ​​brooch?"

Zhong Ran looked down and saw that the brooch was gone. She turned pale with fright. This brooch was secretly taken from her sister's jewelry box to support the scene. If it was lost, there would be no way to explain it when she went back.

But what frightened her even more was where did the brooch fall?

Could it be...

"Is this it?" Xie Ya put his hand on the snow-white tablecloth. When he moved his hand away, there was a ruby ​​brooch on the table. Anyone who had seen this brooch would recognize it. Zhong Ran has been wearing it.

In an instant, Zhong Ran's face changed suddenly, the lamp above her head shone on her face, she was as pale as paper, probably a little whiter than Gou Xinbai's face upstairs.

Zhong Ran's body trembled uncontrollably, her breathing was barely audible, Yu Jinglei stood up abruptly, "What do you mean?"

Zhong Ran didn't dare to look at Yu Jinglei. Seeing her dodging expression, Yu Jinglei seemed to understand something in her heart, so she rushed over angrily and raised her hand to slap her.

Meng Yangyu looked confused, "What's the situation? Old Xie, why do you have Miss Zhong's brooch?"

"I picked it up." Xie Ya shifted his gaze from the brooch to Zhong Ran's flushed face, and said slowly, "Under the bed in Senior Sister Yu's wedding room."
