Between life and death [unlimited]

Because Shen Yingying and Shen Yu went outside the house to look for clues, so during lunch today, only Jiang Shu and Si Yufeng stayed at Mr. Nakajima's house among the players.

So, the two walked together to the dining room on the first floor of the second-story building next to them.

Although the appearance of this two-story building is very different from the traditional Japanese-style houses next door, the interior decoration still retains the characteristics of classic Japanese-style houses.

After Jiang Xun and Si Yufeng slipped through the door, they could more deeply understand a common feature of houses in country R—that is, one-bedroom.The space layout is free, flexible and unobstructed. The internal structure of this house is very simple, almost only composed of three parts: the floor, the pillars and the roof.

The people of Country R seem to like to use wood to build houses, so Mr. Nakajima’s house is made of wood, and the floor is covered with tatami mats woven with rushes.

The two of them walked on the tatami, and the sound of their feet was very soft, but it still alarmed Mr. Nakajima in the kitchen.

Mr. Nakajima was arranging the cutlery on the dining table, when he heard footsteps coming from behind him, he turned around and saw Jiang Xun and Si Yufeng.

Mr. Nakajima greeted them both politely and cordially, with a familiar smile on the corner of his mouth, "Are you two here for lunch?"

Jiang Shuang just nodded and didn't reply.

Si Yufeng noticed that there were only five pieces of tableware on the long low table, and he asked Mr. Nakajima, "Mr. Nakajima, are there only five people here for lunch today?"

Mr. Nakajima nodded and smiled warmly, "It should be that there are only five guests who need to prepare lunch."

After clearing the dining table, Mr. Nakajima bowed politely to the two of them again, and then went to the back kitchen to prepare the meal for today's noon.

I saw these five pieces of tableware neatly placed on both sides of the long table by Mr. Nakajima.Si Yufeng picked a seat with only two sets of tableware on one side, so Jiang Lai also sat down next to Si Yufeng.

Not long after, the petite girl and the boy in the sportswear of the young couple also joined the table, and today's lunch time is only the four of them. I don't know where the inch-capped young man of the couple went, and he was not seen for the whole noon silhouette.

The meal prepared here at noon today is the traditional eel rice of country R.Packed in a boxy ebony food box, the strips of grilled eel poured with sauce fully covered the white and tender rice underneath. The moment the box was opened, a tempting aroma came out.

Since Jiang Lai took part in the mission, he has tasted many delicacies that he has never eaten before. This is also the first time he has eaten eels.

The eel meat is tender, as if it melts in your mouth. When you eat the chewy rice, the wonderful satisfaction of fat, carbohydrates and fat can't be described in any words.

Not only Jiang Shui, who tasted eel for the first time, thought the rice was extremely delicious, but even Si Yufeng, who had eaten eel rice before, felt that what he had eaten before was not comparable to the one here.

It seems that what Mr. Nakajima said—hoping to leave good memories for all guests is not empty words.

The sportswear NPC obviously thought the meal was extremely delicious, so the boy in the sportswear praised Mr. Nakajima: "This is really the most delicious eel meal I have ever eaten! Mr. Nakajima, did you cook this meal? "

Mr. Nakajima helped his gold-rimmed glasses, and he still smiled politely and politely, only to hear him reply humbly and politely: "I am responsible for the production, but the ingredients for each meal are selected by my sister." .”

"So Mr. Nakajima has a younger sister?" The petite girl asked in surprise, "Don't you know that Mr. Nakajima's younger sister also lives here with Mr. Nakajima?"

Mr. Nakajima nodded and replied: "Yes, Xizi and I live together in the house in the backyard, which is opposite to the hot spring in the backyard. The kitchen is next to our house."

The petite girl said with emotion: "That's amazing! Mr. Nakajima's sister is also great at choosing ingredients. The meat of this eel tastes very delicious."

Mr. Nakajima smiled meaningfully at the petite girl, "It's best if you like it."

"The little girl Xizi once said that the key to deciding on a good meal is not only the craftsmanship, but also the ingredients you choose."

"Like this eel rice, the best eel to choose is pure natural eel with a lot of activity, and it must be freshly killed, and then the bones and spines of the eel should be picked clean, so that the fried meat can be good. Oily but not greasy, plump and mellow."

When talking about making dishes, Mr. Nakajima seems to talk a lot. It can be seen that he and his sister should be craftsmen who make dishes with heart.

"After Mr. Nakajima said that, I became more curious about your sister." The petite girl asked curiously, "Then why have we never seen your sister, Miss Xizi?"

When Mr. Nakajima heard someone mention his sister, there was a trace of doting in his calm eyes, and he said with a smile: "That little girl Xizi usually goes to school, and she only comes back at night every day."

"Then your sister prepares ingredients at night? That's really hard work."

Mr. Nakajima just smiled this time, and did not continue to answer the petite girl's words.

Si Yufeng noticed that when Mr. Nakajima was answering questions, his right hand could not help rubbing the ring on the ring finger of his left hand. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Excuse me for asking... Is Mr. Nakajima already Are you married? I see you have a ring on your ring finger, is it a wedding ring?"

Mr. Nakajima did not directly admit it, but he did not completely deny it, "The wedding ring is actually just a symbol of marriage, isn't it? Regardless of whether you are married or not - shouldn't a real marriage be counted because of whether two people have the same mind? ?”

"Isn't a marriage without a wedding ring not blessed by God? In my opinion, only those wishful thinking, or those who go against other people's wishes and force other people's feelings are not worthy of God's approval."

After saying these vague words, Mr. Nakajima looked directly at Si Yufeng with a smile.

The moment Si Yufeng looked at Mr. Nakajima, he found that Mr. Nakajima's eyes were dark and bright, as if he had the power to penetrate his soul.Si Yufeng's heart was immediately disturbed, as if he was afraid that the dark secret hidden deep in his heart would be discovered by this bright-eyed Mr. Nakajima.

Si Yufeng, who was sitting next to him, also clearly sensed something was wrong with Si Yufeng. He looked at Mr. Nakajima who was smiling normally, and then at Si Yufeng who was suddenly silent. He was thinking about what Mr. Nakajima said just now. What exactly is meant.

At the end of this lunch, Si Yufeng was not in a good mood.Although the ingredients and production standards were excellent, he didn't eat all of them, and he always felt a fishy smell afterward, which made his appetite even worse.

After coming out of the restaurant, Jiang Lai and Si Yufeng went back to their room first to discuss what they had seen and heard just now.

"There is a problem with Nakajima." Jiang Shi asserted with certainty.

Si Yufeng no longer had his usual demeanor, and he simply replied listlessly, "Yes." It was quite like Jiang Xun's demeanor of cherishing words like gold.

The imitated Jiang Xun: "..."

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and finally Jiang Li took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Si Yufeng raised his head when he heard the words, and he looked straight at Jiang Xun, with thousands of emotions flashing through his eyes.But he finally shook his head and forced himself to pull himself together.

"It's all right...it's all right."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Jiang Lai didn't continue to ask, "What do you think of Nakajima?"

Thinking of Mr. Nakajima's soul-striking eyes just now, Si Yufeng's face darkened, and his tone became heavy, "It's not easy. If the danger in the mission exists in this yard, it must be related to Mr. Nakajima." .”

"And Xizi Nakajima." Jiang Lai added, after staying with Si Yufeng for a long time, his thinking also began to learn from him.

He intuited that the identities of the siblings were not simple, and through Mr. Nakajima's words just now, he was also quite puzzled about the relationship between the siblings.

The younger sister who is invisible in the daytime, the famous wedding ring, it seems that the Nakajima brothers and sisters also have a lot of fog.

Si Yufeng asked: "Did you notice that the boy in the couple NPC didn't show up at noon?"

Jiang Xun nodded: "Yeah."

"It stands to reason that this couple of NPCs should all act together. If the boy really triggered some death condition, then why is the girl okay?" Si Yufeng couldn't figure this out, "And she is still acting like a normal girl. She came to the restaurant for dinner at noon, and her boyfriend didn't come all afternoon, so she didn't show any doubts on her face."

Jiang Lai felt that what Si Yufeng said was right, and the behavior of the couple NPCs was indeed a bit abnormal, so he asked, "Ask that girl?"

Si Yufeng thought for a while, shook his head, and said in denial: "No, we still have time. Wait to see the reactions of other NPCs."

After thinking about it for a long time, but still had no clue, Si Yufeng suggested to Jiang Li: "Why don't we go to the backyard first?"

Jiang Xun nodded in agreement.

I saw behind the two houses where the players and NPCs live, there is a wide Japanese-style garden with many green trees.The scenery in this exquisite courtyard is well taken care of by the careful Mr. Nakajima, and the scenery in any place looks beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

There is also a wooden shed on the right side of the courtyard, and under the wooden shed there is a natural running water hot spring, which should be the backyard hot spring that Mr. Nakajima said.

And the right side of the courtyard seems to have a large remaining area, and the path for people to walk passes by the hot spring in the backyard and continues to extend inward.

Jiang Lai and Si Yufeng followed this path to a location deeper in the courtyard.

Indeed, as Mr. Nakajima said just now, there are two traditional Japanese houses, the style of which is the same as the one where Jiang Shuang and the others lived.

The two didn't rush directly into the two rooms to look for clues. They searched outside first, but they still found nothing.

So, Si Yufeng asked his teammates: "Jiang Xun...can you go into Mr. Nakajima's room and have a look?"

Jiang Xun agreed to Si Yufeng's request without hesitation this time.

Mr. Nakajima was not in the backyard at this time, so there should be no one in the house, but because of this, the two doors were also locked.

Jiang Shui had also been trained to be a professional lockpicker before, but now he suffered from not having any tools at hand.So after looking around the surrounding environment, he finally fixed his gaze on Si Yufeng's ear.

In the next second, Si Yufeng saw Jiang Li running towards him.He could clearly feel that Jiang Xun directly stretched out his hands to encircle him, and then Jiang Xun's index finger touched his sensitive earlobe unexpectedly.

Si Yufeng was shocked by Jiang Xun's sudden action. He was just about to escape from Jiang Xun's shackles, but he couldn't help but hear Jiang Xun's deep and slightly sexy voice whispering in his ear.

"do not move."

Si Yufeng seemed to be bewitched, and stood there with his limbs stiff. It wasn't until Jiang Xun took a quick step back that he realized that Jiang Xun had just taken off his diamond earrings.

With this small lockpicking tool, Jiang Shang quickly pried open the door of the kitchen in the backyard.

He didn't encounter the bloody scene or horror scene he imagined. After Jiang Shou went in, he only found a cushion and curtains hanging on all sides. Other than that, the room was almost empty.

There is nothing, and I don't know how Mr. Nakajima and his sister usually cook?

Next, Jiang Lai was about to pry open the door of Mr. Nakajima's room.For some reason, he suddenly became nervous.

Maybe it's because I'm clueless this time?Or maybe it's because of the unknown that will be faced next?

In short, the appearance of Mr. Nakajima in a kimono has been lingering in Jiang Shang's mind.

His malicious smile is like a dodder, coldly climbing up the soles of his feet until it entangles his bones like maggots, and finally makes people feel suffocated...

After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Lai barely managed to stabilize his mind, and then he pulled open the tightly closed paper wooden door in front of him.

At this time, there was a gentle breeze blowing into this room—a room full of hemp rope knots all over the floor.

The sound of the wind sounds like someone else's whisper is whispering something...
