Chapter 312 Are you cold?

Xu Ye shouted to her to walk slower, and she reluctantly slowed down.

Lin Chuqi walked behind the team, with Mo Tingyuan beside her. Xu Ye would look back at the two from time to time to confirm that they were following.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally climbed over the hillside and found the cave Xu Yekou mentioned.

As soon as they stepped into the cave, they heard a crash and candles were lit up on the inner walls of the cave.

The candlelight danced, illuminating their way forward.

The overall style inside the cave is a little different from the spooky and scary outside. The inside of the cave is very bright. Walking inside the cave, you can see some off-white furniture with some scattered dust on it. Walking further inside...

"There is no way."

Evelin exclaimed and looked around. There was silence, and she could only hear the whistling of the cold wind pouring into the cave.

Lin Chuqi couldn't help but rub her arms and felt her heartbeat speed up.

"Lin Chuqi, are you cold?"

Mo Tingyuan never called her Mr. Lin in front of several young people, but the concern in her words could not be hidden.

Hearing this, Evelin also came to Lin Chuqi and said, "Sister Qiqi, are you cold? I have a coat here."

"No, thank you, I'm not cold." Lin Chuqi politely declined her offer.

I'm not cold, I'm just a little flustered.

She felt a little depressed from all directions, and the clues Xu Ye took from the wall were so creepy that it was inevitable that she would get goosebumps.

Mo Tingyuan's eyes stayed on her, and he vaguely guessed that she was a little scared, so he moved and stood beside her.

Seeing this, Evelin and Fiona also came up to talk to Lin Chuqi with smiles.

"Actually, I'm a little scared too." Fiona said, quietly taking a look at Mo Tingyuan.

Mo Tingyuan just pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lin Chuqi listened carefully as Xu Ye read out the clue. The clue was actually an inference question. The youngest son in the family died suddenly. There were three suspects: his father, stepmother and half-brother.

Everyone has an alibi, but the murderer is one of them.

"Stop chatting for now, let's deduce who is the murderer."

"It must be the stepmother!" Fiona said: "The stepmother is not the biological mother of the younger and older sons. She is pregnant and does not like the two children. In addition, the younger son broke her favorite antique vase.

She had murderous intentions, which is quite reasonable."

"But she has an alibi of her father and her eldest son together. How can she convince her eldest son, who doesn't get along with her, to help her cover up?"

Xu Ye asked.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Lin Chuqi's mind flashed through several alibis and the relationships between family figures. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's the eldest son."

"How is that possible?" Evelin looked at her in surprise, "In this family, the relationship between the two brothers is the best!"

Everyone looked at her with questions in their eyes.

"The eldest son's alibi is only his father's." She pondered for a moment and explained: "And every time the eldest son provides an alibi for others, he always says that he saw his father or stepmother, but his father and stepmother did not see it.

If you find him, then he may have been hiding in the dark and observing them."

"But he has no motive." Xu Ye's eyes were cold, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Lin Chuqi.

Lin Chuqi said: "Why is there no motive? The younger son's mother and the older son's former stepmother once pushed him down the second floor, while the younger son was still watching coldly."

"Until the new stepmother arrived, the eldest son and the younger son became people in the same boat."

She looked at the clue drawing in Xu Ye's hand and said, "Can you show it to me again?"

"certainly."

Xu Ye handed her the drawings, and she looked at them carefully, not realizing that Mo Tingyuan was standing behind her, his deep eyes still on the drawings.

Three minutes later, Lin Chuqi pointed out several details on the drawing and expressed his views.

Until finally, she confirmed that her eldest son was the real murderer.

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Then give it a try?"

Evelin was eager to try and planned to enter the answer.

"Wait a minute." Mo Tingyuan interrupted her movements, but his eyes remained on the drawings, "You have neglected one thing, the biological mother of the youngest son, and a close friend. He was the one who saved the woman who was having difficulty giving birth.

Came back."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Chuqi reacted immediately.

"Is it the father and the eldest son?"

"In other words, father suspects..."

Fiona looked at the drawings in surprise.

"Try it. There are three chances in total. If you make a mistake, we will be locked here." Xu Ye said.

Evelin entered the answer obediently.

There was just a click, and an iron box opened, revealing an ancient key.

"There is a keyhole under the box." Lin Chuqi's sharp eyes saw the clues under the box at a glance.

Everyone did not expect that the answer could be deduced in one go, and they looked at Lin Chuqi and Mo Tingyuan in surprise and joy.

"Sister, you are so awesome!" Evelin held Lin Chuqi's arm affectionately, her pale pink cheeks full of smiles.

Lin Chuqi was a little confused by her intimacy. She pulled her hand back uncomfortably and said with a smile, "Maybe it's just good luck."

"Luck is also a kind of strength." Mo Tingyuan said coldly.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Evelin and Fiona.

Mo Tingyuan spoke twice along the way, once when he was speculating in the cave, and once just now, both times because Lin Chuqi spoke.

Even the initial self-introduction was done by Lin Chuqi.

this……

The two young girls exchanged a "we all understand" look, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously raised.

Lin Chuqi didn't care about other people's petty thoughts, who doesn't like to be praised.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and reminded: "First use the key to open the door and see what is behind the cave."

After saying that, Xu Ye took the lead and turned the keyhole with the key.

A dull sound was accompanied by a stone wall rising slowly, and they finally saw the world outside the cave.

There is a broad grassland with a stream running through it. The stream is gurgling and crystal clear.

There are also rocks at the bottom of the water whose edges have been washed away.

Aldrich really put a lot of thought into this scary island.

"Shall we walk over directly?" Evelin asked in a low voice.

The stream is not deep, but it is not narrow either. It is impossible to cross it directly in one step.

Without saying a word, Xu Ye strode to the edge of the stream and pulled out a new map from under a stone.

Lin Chuqi's eyebrows skipped a beat when she saw it.

Surprises are everywhere.

Since she and Mo Tingyuan joined temporarily and did not know all the rules, they simply waited for Xu Ye to speak.

Xu Ye looked at the map, discussed it with Luke and Charles beside him, and decided to walk directly there.
