Fang Daichuan did not voice out his suspicions, nor did he admit he wasn’t a seer. He suppressed himself and returned to the room with trembling fingers.
He stayed like that until the night came.
When night fell, Fang Daichuan walked out from the room and rang the doorbell to Ding Zihui’s room. There are some things he must ask Ding Zihui.
Ding Zihui opened the door cautiously, and after seeing him, hesitated for a while before letting him in.
Fang Daichuan entered the room and closed the door.
Ding Zihui couldn’t help but feel a little scared, two people were speaking alone in the closed room and at night when werewolves were roaming around. Fang Daichuan noticed that Ding Zihui’s body was tense, and she was secretly guarding him. He sighed, stretched out his hands helplessly, indicating that he had no malicious intent, and then sat down on the stool in the corner of the room, far away from her.
Ding Zihui opened a bottle of mineral water, poured it into a clean glass, and handed it to Fang Daichuan.
Fang Daichuan opened the notebook and opened the cap of a pen with his teeth. “Is it convenient for you to tell me what time you left the house last night?”
“Twelve thirty?” Ding Zihui looked up at the ceiling and recalled, “it should be a little past twelve thirty.”
Fang Daichuan drew out a timeline on the paper:
[12:30 Ding Zihui goes out]
“Then what time did you come back up?” Fang Daichuan asked as he wrote, “When you went out, did you pay attention to the window on the second floor? Was it open or closed?”
Fang Daichuan’s expression unconsciously became serious. Somehow his demeanour looked like that of a police officer in the midst of a questioning. It was influenced by his family environment when he was a child. When he made mistakes at home, this was how his father reprimanded him.
“Why? Are you interrogating me?” Ding Zihui pursed her lips and smiled, teasing him, there was a little blush on her cheeks.
Fang Daichuan felt a little embarrassed. He turned around and said, “No, I’m just asking.”
Ding Zihui glanced at his notebook. Fang Daichuan had messy handwriting. He was not afraid Ding Zihui would be able to read whatever he’d written in his notebook. He admitted, “I have only practiced autographing, but my other characters are really… not good.”
Honestly, the handwriting was not merely ‘not good’, but was so ugly Ding Zihui couldn’t think of how to respond in a polite manner. Fortunately, her EQ was good, she said, “Then you sign for me, I’ve been following you for a long time, so you can consider this as meeting a fan just passing by. Give me your autograph as a souvenir.”
That is easy to do, Fang Daichuan turned to the last page, ripped the notebook, and signed his name on the lined paper.
Fortunately, he really had practiced the three characters “Fang Daichuan”. The autograph he had practiced was bold and domineering, the design was sharp but the corners were soft and beautiful.
PR/N: In Chinese, one syllable is one character.
Fang Daichuan handed the signature to Ding Zihui.
Ding Zihui held the paper and looked at it for a while, then smiled and put it away. “When I go back, I will post it on Weibo. Maybe I’ll be able to get more followers.”
“I bought my own Weibo followers,” Fang Daichuan smiled bitterly, “Do you still expect my autograph to increase your followers?”
Fang Daichuan turned back to his notebook and repeated, “When you went out, did you pay attention to the windows? And the mural blankets on both sides of the corridor?”
Ding Zihui smiled, recalled for a while, and said, “Mural? Are there murals hanging in the corridor? I didn’t pay attention. The windows seemed to be open back then, the rain hadn’t stopped, and the water was pouring in. “
“Hmm, then what time did you return?” Fang Daichuan asked again.
Ding Zihui answered, “About 12:40? The window had been open the whole time. There was nothing strange about it. Du Chaosheng went back two minutes before me. I didn’t look at the time too carefully but it should be around that time.”
Fang Daichuan frowned, picked up the pen and paper and started writing out a list.
The window opens: [12:30] Ding Zihui goes out
[Unknown] Du Chaosheng and Niu Xinyan talking
Du Chaosheng returns to the room
[12:40] Ding Zihui returns to the room
[Unknown] Crazy boy went out and found the painting on the mural blanket wet by rain
[Unknown] Li Sinian goes out
Window closed: [Unknown] Someone closed the window
[01:00] Liu Xin goes out
The window opens: [01:30] I went out, opened the window, and saw Liu Xin on the beach
Window closed: [01:50] Liu Xin came back and found that the window was closed
Fang Daichuan stared for half a minute at the timetable, and the coldness in his heart gradually spread and grew.
Earlier, he pretended that he knew the exact time the window opened and closed to defraud Liu Xin, a “fake seer”. If he had lied then Liu Xin would be caught on the spot. However, Liu Xin had no reason to lie. Moreover, Fang Daichuan saw him when he was at the beach, and the time was perfectly matched.
However, something was wrong here, between Liu Xin and Li Sinian, there must be someone who lied.
Fang Daichuan had been hiding in the corner of the corridor since he left at 1:30. If someone went out during that period, with the sound of opening and closing the door, and the sound of swiping the door card, it is impossible for Fang Daichuan to not hear it. The only person who came to the corridor during this period was Li Sinian when he returned. However, when he told Li Sinian about the window, Li Sinian made it clear that he did not open the window.
At first Fang Daichuan thought it was around the time when he and Li Sinian returned inside the room that someone went out and closed the window. But Liu Xin made it clear that when he returned to the second floor at 1.50, the windows had been closed.
Unless Li Sinian was with someone else when he went upstairs, there was nothing that could explain how Li Sinian’s and Liu Xin’s testimonies were different. Li Sinian saw the window open, but Liu Xin saw it closed.
If Liu Xin did not lie, it would mean Li Sinian had closed the corridor window when he went upstairs.
Fang Daichuan felt shiver down his spine.
Li Sinian lied to him, he closed the window for some purpose.
Niu Xinyan said that the card was not a solid proof, and from the three deceased, character cards could not be found. Is there a possibility that Li Sinian’s seer card was a stolen item? Isn’t he used to petty theft? Is he really a seer at all? He opened and closed the windows frequently, just to see who would behave strangely to this window the next day. Only people who have entered and exited the corridor at least twice will find how odd the windows were, and those who have entered and exited the corridor twice must have left the villa and gone out. Li Sinian didn’t get the villagers manual. He didn’t know that the villagers had reasons to enter and leave the villa. He must have thought that the only person who had a reason to enter and exit the villa had only one identity—the seer.
Li Sinian is looking for special roles, he’s a werewolf.
Fang Daichuan could hardly hold the pen with his right hand, he suddenly stood up and startled Ding Zihui. Ding Zihui took a step back cautiously, staring at the strong muscles of his arm, guarding him in case he made a move. However, Fang Daichuan opened the door and walked out, strode towards the end of the corridor, the soles of his shoes stomping the floor heavily.
“You…” Ding Zihui didn’t know what he was going to do. She chased after him but after two steps, she became scared and didn’t dare to go forward.
Fang Daichuan waved his hand. “Go back, lock the door, don’t look for any item cards, don’t open the door for anyone no matter who it is. I will protect you. I just want to confirm the wolf and I will kill him for you, don’t be afraid.”
Ding Zihui was very moved and wanted to go out to help, but Fang Daichuan was already far away. The corridors were very dark, and there always seemed to be something hidden in the darkness. Ding Zihui hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, she returned to the room and closed the door.
Fang Daichuan was very excited, but he couldn’t tell whether this excitement was more fear or anger. I will ring the doorbell and ask him directly if he is a wolf, Fang Daichuan thought angrily. He deceived me, after I trusted him so much!
However, he changed his mind. What if he is really a wolf? Will he kill me?
Forget it. He gritted his teeth bitterly. Let’s just fight, he may not be able to win against me, come on, let’s see who will be poisoned to death?!
Fang Daichuan was fighting a battle inside his mind. He wanted to see Li Sinian quickly and let Li Sinian tell him that he was a fool, and used logic to wake him up. However, he was also afraid that he would end up being right. He could see Li Sinian raising his eyebrows in his usual mocking manner and smiling as he says, “Yes, I am a wolf, what will you do?” What should he do then? Can he really poison Li Sinian to death? He closed his eyes.
Fang Daichuan walked in front of Li Sinian’s room anxiously, almost breaking the pen in his hand. He irritably took out a cigarette and lit it, only then did he realize. There was only half a pack of cigarettes and a lighter in his pocket, and the poison and antidote were all hidden in the forest.
Poison who?Even if Li Sinian is a wolf, he can’t poison him.
Forget it, Fang Daichuan became calm. He gritted his back molars and rang the doorbell bitterly.
No one came to open the door, the same as last night.
Fang Daichuan had smoked half of his cigarette, but the door remained closed.
Is Li Sinian really a seer? Does he go out to check on people? Fang Daichuan twisted his eyebrows suspiciously, but what if he was a wolf? Did he go out to kill someone? He turned his head and looked at Liu Xin’s room, feeling uneasy. Liu Xin’s body type is the one that sits in the office all year round. Can he beat Li Sinian who is a professional mercenary?
Whatever, in any case, Liu Xin is not his opponent. Fang Daichuan was confident of that.
He walked to Liu Xin’s door and rang the doorbell to remind him that it is best not to go out tonight.
No one came to open the door, and the room seemed to be empty, just like Li Sinian’s room.
A flash of lightning flashed out of the window, suddenly illuminating the entire corridor on the second floor.
Fang Daichuan stood in the corridor by himself, there was no movement around him, only the mural blanket-like tomb path hung on both sides, making it as if he was living in a solitary grave.
He shivered.
Both of them are gone.
Two seers, one true one false.
If he goes out and finds Liu Xin’s body, does it prove that Li Sinian is really a werewolf? Thinking of this, Fang Daichuan’s feet seemed to be stuck in place.
The rain outside the window was pouring heavily, Fang Daichuan shook his fist and finally walked downstairs resolutely into the endless rain.
Please, prove that you are a real seer. Fang Daichuan prayed in his heart.
However, at that time he did not expect that the incident that would prove Li Sinian’s identity would be so extreme and dangerous. If possible, he would rather directly find Li Sinian for a showdown during the day. Even if there was a possibility of being poisoned to death, it would be better than experiencing such a shocking thing.
What he didn’t know was that, earlier or later before him, the ten people who were still alive, all would have aspirations to walk out the door of the villa on this rainy night.
The night of the battle royale on the isolated island had finally kicked off.
