At first, I thought that we were not familiar with each other, so we should not be able to chat, but soon Xu Jun realized that he was wrong.

It is true that they are not familiar with each other now, but in this world, there will always be some people who can get acquainted by themselves, and by the way, they can call a lot of introverted and unfamiliar people to quickly become friends.

Just like Guo Wenwen.

Anyway, Xu Jun heard Guo Wenwen tell a lot of anecdotes about the entertainment industry.It's not the leftovers of gossip, but the more interesting jokes that come out during acting.

In short, the whole atmosphere was cooked in a few minutes, and everyone started chatting about interesting things in a friendly manner.

The amusing atmosphere lasted until after 06:30, followed by the scene where the "maid" played by the staff of the villa kept coming out of the kitchen with hot dishes.

Guo Wenwen, who was enjoying the chat, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and said:

"It's seven o'clock."

Turning to look at everyone, he smiled and said, "Let's all take our seats. Didn't we say that the game will start on time at seven o'clock?"

So everyone came to the living room.

Beside the dining table, there are eight chairs, each with their real name pasted on the back of the chair.

The housekeeper, Wen Liang, stood respectfully aside, with one hand on his back and the other with a snow-white towel, looked at the crowd, and said with a smile:

"The dinner party will start soon, please sit down in the corresponding seats according to your names."

Everyone sit down.

Xu Jun found out that Xia Qingyu was not there, so he came out with an empty chair.

Fifteen minutes to seven o'clock.

For some reason, Xu Jun was a little flustered, and even wanted to go to the kitchen to find Xia Qingyu.

After all, she is someone who has watched more than 400 episodes of Conan. As long as there is something wrong in an unfamiliar environment, it is inevitable that she will have bad ideas.

As a result, the more Xu Jun thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, and even his hands trembled slightly.

"what happened?"

Cheng Qian who was beside him noticed Xu Jun's strangeness and couldn't help asking.

"Is Miss Xu looking for Miss Xia Qingyu?"

The butler Wen Liang answered with a smile:

"You don't have to worry. Because of the role setting, Miss Xia can't have dinner with all the guests."

Lu Jue also found an extra chair and asked:

"Then this place is for new customers?"

Wen Liang smiled and nodded, "Yes."

While talking, a short and fat man was led into the dining room by the maid from the gate, and walked towards the dining table.

"Mr. Zhang Jin, the organizer and sponsor of this game." Wen Liang introduced.

The chunky man walked to the dining table at this moment, smiled politely at everyone, and then sat down on the only chair that didn't have a name on it.

Everyone also said hello to the sponsors.

Xu Jun suddenly realized - so this game has such a hardcore setting?As long as the game starts, everyone must perform all actions according to the game settings?

It seems that Mr. Director knows these rules, so he let the actors come here to learn and experience before acting.

Thinking of this, Xu Jun also felt relieved a little, thanked Cheng Qian apologetically, and sat down in his seat.

At this time, the ancient bell rang from the other side of the hall, once and for all, seven times in total.

The voice seemed to travel through time and space, bringing the people at the dining table back to the villa where the murder case was set in the game.

Wen Liang retreated to the "housekeeper" position where he was standing just now, and with the lingering aftermath of the last bell, he said loudly:

"Games start."

The voice fell, and the maids standing behind each "guest" stepped forward almost in unison, and opened the lid of the food in front of the guests.

The food is full of color, fragrance and taste, and the rich food that makes people's index fingers move all appeared in everyone's sight.

"Wow! That's great!"

Mr. Sponsor's eyes seemed to be shining, and he immediately cried out when he saw the fragrant food. He was not at all like the old-fashioned and prudent company boss Xu Jun saw in TV dramas, who liked to talk and do things with airs.

It's no wonder that such a reality-playing game is organized and sponsored.

This Mr. Zhang should be a person who likes fun and food.

Just as he was thinking, Xu Jun saw that Mr. Sponsor had already tore off the drumstick of a roast chicken in front of him faster than everyone else, put it in his mouth and started eating.

The contented and happy expression on his face didn't make the people around him feel vulgar, on the contrary, he gave birth to the desire to feast on it.

Everyone imitated Mr. Sponsor and stretched out his hand to start.

"Uh--"

Accompanied by the strange sound, Mr. Sponsor's face changed suddenly, and he tightly covered his mouth with one hand, while the chicken leg in the other hand fell to the dining table.

Before the people around could react, black-red liquid emerged from between Mr. Sponsor's fingers covering his mouth. It was continuous. Heads were planted heavily on the dinner plate.

Then, his body didn't move at all.

Lin Zihan who was sitting next to him was the first to recover, and quickly helped the sponsor's short and fat body, trying to confirm the situation.

So everyone saw the sponsor's face with wide eyes, black blood in his mouth, and bruised veins.

A girl who played the maid screamed.

……

"he died."

Lin Zihan, who graduated from a well-known Chinese medicine university in China, acted as a temporary forensic doctor, conducted a preliminary inspection of the sponsor, and finally announced the conclusion to everyone.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely heavy.

"The police said they would be here soon, so let us all stay here and wait for them."

A staff member who called the police said.

Another staff member in a maid outfit immediately objected:

"No! I don't want to stay here, I'm leaving now! Who knows what else will happen here? Everyone can see it! That man was poisoned to death! This is murder!"

As she said that, she looked around at the people, as if she wanted to find someone who was like her.

Obviously, almost everyone in the hall had expressions of approval on their faces.

Xu Jun subconsciously clenched his hands.

She spoke almost without thinking:

"In the absence of conclusive evidence, please don't make judgments on the nature of the case, this lady."

The maid who played the word "murder" suddenly realized the meaning of Xu Juan's words, but without the slightest bit of shame, he roared aggressively:

"Am I wrong? Everyone here is suspicious!"

"you--"

Xia Qingyu grabbed Xu Jun who wanted to defend her innocence in time, smiled and said:

"It's okay, the police will come soon, don't worry, this pot of dirty water won't splash on me."

As she spoke, she gently patted Xu Jun's shoulder, and added:

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Her voice was very soft and gentle. While speaking, she reached out her hand and held Xu Jun's hand.

After being held by such a warm and dry hand, for some reason, Xu Jun, who was extremely angry because Xia Qingyu was wronged, suddenly seemed to settle down.

Only then did I realize that I seemed a little... impulsive just now, and I couldn't help turning my head slightly, feeling that my face was very hot.

Ah, what happened to her just now?To say that in front of so many strangers.

It was nothing like her on earth.

"Yes, everyone is suspected. Of course, everyone may be innocent. So we shouldn't characterize the case now, and don't just put hats on other people."

Zhao Liang realized that the atmosphere was a bit tense, so he hurried out to smooth things over and said a few words.

"Miss Xia, don't take it to heart, everyone is a little nervous in this situation, and it's inevitable that they said the wrong thing." He said to Xia Qingyu again.

Xia Qingyu nodded and said nothing.

"Who else of you wants to go with me?"

The maid actor who had already confirmed that someone thought the same as him said at this time.

Zhao Liang, who was the oldest among the group of people, looked sophisticated and steady, said:

"The police are coming soon, and everyone shouldn't leave. Not to mention that it's night and there is fog in the mountains, and the road conditions on the mountains will definitely be affected. Therefore, whether it is to avoid suspicion or for your own safety, it is best not to leave now. "

The face of the maid actor became more and more gloomy.

"Don't go? Wait to die? I won't. You don't have to go. You don't know when the police will come. It's more than two hours' drive from the nearest police station in the city. I won't take my Lives in the hands of the police who are still two hours away!"

After finishing speaking, the maid player didn't wait for the others, turned around and left.

Soon, the figure of the maid player disappeared at the gate.

At this time, another man dressed as an attendant also stood out from the shadows and said, "I think what she said makes sense."

He looked at Wen Liang and said, "Mr. Wen, I'm leaving too."

Wen Liang frowned, "It's not safe to go now, and even if you go now, the police will ask you to find out about the situation tomorrow morning—"

The man didn't wait for Wen Liang to continue, and interrupted Wen Liang directly, saying:

"What's none of my business? That incident had nothing to do with me."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed even more.

Xia Qingyu held Xu Juan's hand tightly, and pulled Xu Juan closer to her quietly.

Xu Jun didn't realize that his palms were sweating coldly.

At this moment, she didn't know how many terrifying pictures filled her mind.

"Shall I accompany you upstairs to rest?" Xia Qingyu asked Xu Jun.

Xu Jun: "...No, there are many people here."

There were only the two of them up there, so it felt safer in the hall.

Xia Qingyu silently looked at Xu Jun's slightly wet forehead, sighed silently, and told himself that he must learn his lesson, next time he brings Xu Jun out, he must figure out whether there are any dangerous and scary factors, and he can't make Xu Jun frightened by appearing like this again. situation.

After saying that sentence to Wen Liang, that man left the hall as quickly as the maid actor just now.

Gu Shi sneered, went straight back to the sofa and sat down, picked up the landline phone and dialed the number.

"I'm timid. I'm sure I won't be able to drive home by myself tomorrow, so I'd better find a friend to pick me up." She dialed the number and told everyone, as if to remind everyone.

"what?"

Suddenly, Gu Shi stopped what he was doing, and looked at the phone in his hand with an incredulous expression on his face.

Then she looked at Cheng Qian who was closest to her, and shook the phone handle.

"There is a blind voice inside."

Apart from Cheng Qian, many people heard this, and their faces changed accordingly.

Cheng Qian walked to Gu Shi's side first, picked up the phone and put it to his ear to listen. After a few seconds, his face became ugly.

"Impossible! I called the police just now!"

The servant actor who called the police just now shouted loudly, rushing to grab the microphone in Cheng Qian's hand, as if he wanted to refute Gu Shi and Cheng Qian's words.

Zhao Liang realized something, and hurriedly said:

"Let's keep four people here to guard, and the rest will go in groups of two to check the phone situation in their respective rooms to see if they all have the same problem. We will gather here in 5 minutes."

No one objected this time, mainly because this kind of thing happened suddenly, and everyone lost their minds for the time being.The routine action of calling the police has already been done, but such an unexpected situation occurred while waiting for the police, which naturally made the already chaotic mind even more chaotic.

The crowd left a few staff who acted as servants in the lobby to look after the corpses in the restaurant over there, because they said that there was no phone in their room, only the guest room had a phone installed, so there was no need to check their own room .

In less than five minutes, everyone who went to check the phone in the room returned to the lobby.

Everyone's expression is not very good.

"is not it--"

There was some difficulty and hesitation in Zhao Liang's voice. Looking at each other's expressions, he seemed to understand the result.

Gu Shi said gloomyly: "The phone in our room is also blind, and even the TV has no signal."

The rest of the people did not speak, but it seemed that the situation was similar.

Zhao Liang guessed: "Could it be... is it true that someone blocked the signal in this place on purpose?"
