"It's not exactly the case. Your grandfather and I are close friends. You were entrusted to me to raise after his death."

"What's the name of grandpa?"

"His name is Yu Cha. After I left my first boyfriend, I met him. He took great care of me and often asked me about my well-being. Even saying that I wanted to marry me, but I refused him because I really couldn't devote myself to another relationship at that time. For many years afterwards, I kept avoiding Yu Cha's love."

"But Yu Cha didn't care about my attitude. He still cared for me wholeheartedly, just like a big brother. When I was in my 50s, Yu Cha suddenly wrote to me that he was seriously ill. At that time, we were not in the same city, and Yu Cha was already married. After receiving the news, I hurried to the city where he was. The first person I saw was your mother after arriving."

"Before Yu Cha died, he lived in a very remote city. Because of the long distance, I didn't catch up with him for the last time. After attending the funeral, your mother had no relatives around you. You were not born yet, and your father had to leave her to go out to work."

"In order to repay Yu Cha's kindness, I volunteered to stay by your mother's side, take care of her, and comfort her. I will not return to my hometown until you are born for a full month."

"Am I followed you at that time?" Yaya asked.

"No, you came to me five months later. I don't know who sent you here. That morning I heard a cry at the door and found that you were placed at my door with a letter. The handwriting on the letter was exactly the same as Yu Cha, who had died. The letter said that your parents died in an accident, so I asked me to take in and raise you. At first I didn't believe such a ridiculous thing."

"I thought it was your parents who cruelly abandoned you because I knew their living conditions were very poor at the time. But after I investigated it, I found that what was said in the letter was actually the truth. There were really such cruel things in the world? In just half a year, you lost your grandfather and parents in succession. It is precisely because of this that I named you with my own name, which means reminding yourself at any time to love you like your granddaughter and give you a happy life."

"I have never been willing to tell you what happened in the past because I am afraid that you will be sad and leave a psychological shadow." When Tang Meiya said this, she was already in tears. Her eyes were full of care for Yaya. This is a feeling that only a true relative would reveal.

This look moved Yaya. She unconsciously got into her grandmother's arms and said, "No matter what? I think you are my biological grandmother, and this will never change in my life!" Just like confessing to her inner self, Yaya said in a very low voice.

"Xiao Heng, why are you coming back?" The voice seemed to come from his mind, so clear and so dark, just like the person he loved many years ago.

"I hope to find the trace of love..." Yan Muheng replied, his voice was so hoarse that it could hardly be heard clearly.

The man opposite him took a long time to answer: "You can't find anything back, everything from the past has disappeared in the white cage and can't be found again."

"No, I have seen Horror and Xixi, you are not far from me... I have seen a person in the house who looks very similar to you, and he may be you..."

"Impossible, I no longer exist. Go back! Don't set foot here again, please!"

When the words fell, the blurry shadows on the opposite side gradually disappeared into the middle of the ink leaves.

"Don't leave, I have something to say. I finally come back. I don't want to do anything eternity. I just want to be with you!" Yan Muheng didn't care about his hoarse throat and shouted loudly: "I was wrong to leave back then. I shouldn't listen to my mother. Please, give me another chance, okay?"

There was no response, but the shadow stayed in the place where he could not see it, as if he was luring Yan Muheng to chase him.

Yan Muheng let go of all his hesitation. The moment before stepping into the quagmire, the man's eyes were full of lost shadows, and he was completely unaware of the danger he was about to face.

——

The body slowly got up from the ground. The strength seemed to come back in an instant. The man named Eternal smiled again, and he won again, in that dark place.

No one will pay attention to what Yan Muheng did? No one will realize that his existence is safe because of the protection of the fool and because of endless control.

'Yan Muheng, you will never know what happened to you! And I will punish the people in this house instead of eternity. The sins of the past will never be hidden deep in my memory!"

The man was thinking while exercising his hands and feet. He finally could do it once, and he must not waste it.

Walking out of the direction of a much higher temperature than outside, the man is ready to leave here first, then enter from another place, and by the way, he can see how the game he arranged just now is now.

He can't find a part of his memory, and that part will disappear with the person entering the dark forest, but men don't care, anyway, as long as he can come out.

The boss is a man, and he can't rashly block Xixi. Just when he was anxious, the boss's wife appeared at the door and ran into Xixi.

The boss's wife hugged Xixi and said, "Xixi, you can go downstairs. Put on the down coat in my box. The clothes are big and just wrapped around your down jacket. The bottom is so cold."

The boss's wife was kind-hearted, and Xixi also understood that they were not people who would participate in the murder case. Although the fear in her heart made her tremble, her reason was still there. The little girl did not resist and lay in the boss's wife's arms and stopped moving like a kitten.

The proprietress signaled her husband to open the box quickly and take out the clothes. Within a few minutes, the proprietress let go of Xixi's body, helped her put on her coat, and then walked downstairs with the little girl wrapped like a ball.

The boss asked: "Xixi, what happened? Why were you abandoned at the back door of the restaurant?"

"I don't know... It seems that he saved me. He didn't want me to stay in a place where there were murderers, so he pushed me into the snow... I also misunderstood that he wanted to kill me..."

"And what, Xixi?"

"Then he picked me up from behind and sent me to the back door of the restaurant before leaving. I saw him smashing the ice on the back door of the restaurant."

Xixi's words made the boss feel something was wrong. While paying attention to the girl's feet to prevent falling, she continued to ask: "Where did he push you out from the weird house?"

"...I didn't see it very clearly. It seemed that it was the window in the bathroom, and the window glass was broken."

"So when did he rescue you from outside the window?"

"It didn't take long, and soon he was behind me... Before I could stand up, he came." Xixi replied, her face revealing confusion, as if every question she answered was not so sure.

The boss's mind was much clearer than hers. The boss sent Xixi to the sofa downstairs to sit down. At this time, the boss came downstairs with a clean blanket and walked to them. The boss immediately covered the blanket on the little girl.

I don’t know how I should act anymore, and my hands and feet lost their feelings, and stayed in place as heavy as a wooden carving. The corpse in front of me, no, more correctly, should be the head in front of me, which is almost the same as the head of a monster.

The neck was twisted unnaturally and stuck on the window frame. The ice layer stretched the broken cervical spine. The connected shoulders were not visible at the end of the neck, and only the slender blue-black flesh was hanging there.

The glass and ice cubes slid inward, presenting the head of the corpse in whole to the people inside the house. That kind of indescribable fear, not to mention a little girl like Xixi, even a man would be frightened silly.

The entire upper half of the corpse still had flesh and blood, but the lips and chin were already rotten and out of shape. Two large holes were rotten on the cheeks, and the teeth inside were mixed between flesh and nerves. The black objects in the mouth were like small insects and soil.

The tip of the chin was exposed, and the torn neck was connected under the bones. The brown blood clots were frozen with the ice, like rotten fish meat forgotten in the refrigerator.

The room suddenly became quiet. For several minutes, everyone inside forgot the cold and even forgot that they were a living human. It was not until the screams rang out from the boss lady holding Xixi, and the man standing next to her finally had his first reaction.

He pushed his wife back hard, pushing her to the point where the corpse was invisible. In the corner of the house, the man gasped quickly. He could not say the complete words, but just repeated the same words.

"The strange house!...find the detective! Go...the strange house! Go...go!!find the detective!!..."

Fortunately, his wife did not see the terrifying head clearly, and there was still a trace of reason. After receiving the meaning of her husband's words, she picked up Xixi and prepared to rush out to the back door of the kitchen.

But the next second, Xixi was snatched by her husband. The man who couldn't speak shook his head desperately at his wife, saying that it was so strong that she could not walk through the main house with Xixi. She asked Xixi to be with her and she went alone to notify the detective that it would be much faster.

The husband's appearance made the grocery store owner at a loss. What are you still here for now? Are you killing them together while waiting for the murderer to deal with the body? The woman wants to pull her husband and the little girl in his hand, and is ready to say that the three of them will go together.

Just when they were panicking, they heard footsteps coming from inside the kitchen. Someone, a man, was walking towards them. The man's steps were firm and heavy, slowly approaching step by step.

From locking the door to entering the study, Xie Yunmeng's series of actions took at most ten minutes.

Let’s look at Yan Muheng’s actions. Assume that he was indeed knocked out in the food warehouse by someone. After the person who knocked out of him left, he sneaked back to the inside of the treacherous house to save his life. If the above assumption is true, then what Xie Yunmeng saw must be the suspect who knocked out Yan Muheng.

In other words, the time when Yan Muheng left the food warehouse was before Xie Yunmeng sent Xixi into the restaurant. The chances of the two people meeting each other halfway were very high, but according to Xie Yunmeng's tone, he had not met anyone before he arrived at the restaurant.

To take a step back, even if the wind and snow were too strong, the detective and Yan Muheng did not see each other passing by, Yan Muheng should be the first person to return to the strange house.

From the previous plot, we can know that Yan Muheng entered the Weiwen House and was not attacked again. He fainted from fatigue in the corridor outside the living room, which shows that Yan Muheng also entered through the main entrance of the Weiwen House.

So was it that the mysterious man who entered later that saw Yan Muheng in a coma and wanted to kill him again? But after the injured Yan Muheng entered the study to hide, why did he not tell who attacked him? Looking at Yan Muheng's appearance, it was possible that he had fought with the murderer. Perhaps during the fight, he clearly saw the murderer's appearance. What was the reason that prevented him from telling the truth?

The above is the first guess about Yan Muheng's actions.

Next, let’s look at the second guess. Assuming that Yan Muheng was not knocked out, he pretended to faint in the food warehouse to avoid someone’s sight. After safety, he smashed the ice layer on the back door of the restaurant.

He was also the suspect discovered by Xie Yunmeng. In this way, the criminal police did not meet anyone on the way to the restaurant and explained. Then, after Xixi entered the restaurant, the criminal police immediately followed Yan Muheng, who had not seen clearly, and the two of them came to the gate of the Wei Treasure House.

Xie Yunmeng watched Yan Muheng enter the strange house, then locked the door and quickly left to continue his actions.

It took only ten minutes. During this process, Yan Muheng first fainted outside the living room door, then got up and was attacked by a mysterious person. After a fight, the injured Yan Muheng could avoid the sight of everyone in the restaurant and quietly enter the study. This is no longer possible.

No matter who frozen it outside the house, Xie Yunmeng thought of a question that he had never thought of before. Why was this corpse here? Perhaps one of the eighteen people who entered the treacherous house had already been killed in advance.

The murderer temporarily buried the body in the snow, and then acted as the deceased and followed them into the treacherous house until last night when the body was dug out and frozen with the house.

Why do you need to freeze the restaurant? What is the meaning of the time when the body was dug out? Xie Yunmeng couldn't figure it out clearly. He looked at the roof of the house and said to the owner of the grocery store, "You look at Xixi, I'll go up here to see, maybe there are some things on it?"

Xie Yunmeng meant that he wanted to turn over to the roof outside to take a look. He did this because the outside of the house was frozen, and ice was formed almost the entire house, which means that water must be sprayed from the center of the roof. Only in this way can the whole house be frozen evenly.

There must be some kind of pre-installed sprinkler device on the roof. Ms. Wen's restaurant is on the edge of the mountain road, far from the treacherous house. There are no traces of dragging water pipes in the snow. Even if the murderer covers the traces, according to common sense, it is impossible to have such a long water pipe.

Besides, in this kind of weather, it will soon freeze when dragging the water pipe outside, and it is impossible to sprinkle water at the restaurant continuously.

So Xie Yunmeng had to go to the roof to confirm. Although the bad weather and the ice outside the house might hinder the movement, Xie Yunmeng believed that he could still climb to the roof.

This time he did not walk through the back door. In order to see the body clearly, he reached out and pushed the almost falling window glass outward, but there was still a frozen ice layer outside. Even the detective's strength could not directly break the ice layer.

'It seems that the ice layer in front of the house is much thicker than the back.' Xie Yunmeng thought, and then tried harder, then turned around and looked for a tool to weigh his hands in the house. The boss behind him reacted quickly and immediately ran to the bottom of the kitchen cabinet to take out a hammer. It was what she saw when she was cooking just now. There was a small storage cabinet in the kitchen, just under the cupboard.

Xie Yunmeng took the hammer and when the boss lady returned to Xixi, she hit the ice behind the glass with a hard hammer, and the broken ice fell down like rain.

He first smashed the ice around the head of the corpse, and then removed the entire window glass with the head. At this time, the detective found that the head of the corpse had been separated from the outside body. Its cervical vertebrae had long been broken, and the flesh became very fragile due to the freezing, and lost the support of the ice. With a slight pull, the neck was immediately broken.

‘Who are you? Why did you appear in my dream?’ the girl asked in a low voice, but the sound that flowed out of her lips and teeth was expanded countless times, making her cover her mouth unconsciously.

No one answered his question, the girl felt that she was about to fall asleep. At this moment, her body touched a warm arm...

When the people around him spoke, all the scenes just now disappeared in front of the girl, and her eyes full of horror also saw the scene in reality, as well as the old man lying not far away.

——

The horror returned to Sister Wang. This little girl was always in a state of horror, just like Xixi, but the degree was slightly better than Xixi, because she could at least trust the people around her.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Sister Wang asked when she saw the horror, but she had a look of awakening.

It seemed like I was dozing off just now. As soon as Sister Wang called out, the person woke up immediately and stared at the person who called her.

Sister Wang asked again: "Horror, are you uncomfortable?"

"...No, I just... fell asleep." The terrifying brain was still in a state of chaos. She did not lie. She subconsciously thought that she was indeed asleep just now, but she just didn't fall asleep.

Sister Wang hugged Horror again and said, "Since you're sleepy, then just sleep for a while. Anyway, the affairs at home will not end soon." The middle-aged maid revealed helplessness in her tone. At this moment, she was indeed waiting for the incident to end with a resigned attitude.

Horror stopped talking, his small body shrank into the arms of the people around him, but his eyes were still staring at Liu Qiaopu lying on the sofa. She was probably praying in her heart that the old detective could come back to life. How could this family suddenly become like this? Horror still can't figure it out.

Both of them seemed to have ignored Xixi who had disappeared for no reason at this moment, perhaps because this little girl is not the one they would worry about!

Yun Yeyao has been sitting next to Liu Qiaopu, and from time to time he lowered his head to check the old man's physical condition. In fact, he was exchanging opinions with Liu Qiaopu with expressions and actions. The two of them were very hidden. In addition, Yun Yeyao's innate acting skills, even the person closest to them could not see any flaws.

Yun Yeyao was waiting like these people in the room, but the difference was that others were waiting without purpose, and they had no idea what would happen next? They were just thinking that the wind and snow would end soon, which would give them hope of going down the mountain.
To be continued...
