Chapter 840: Ten Guests, Act Eight(1/3)

Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly. After Mo Haiyou came out of the strange house, he walked forward along the edge of the road. There was not much road here to the agreed location tonight. Mo Haiyou didn't have to drive, just walk over.

When he came, he didn't plan to drive, but took the subway. Mo Haiyou was not like Yun Yeyao. He rarely took the subway once, and it felt quite fresh and comfortable.

‘It seems that next time I go to a slightly further place, it is good to take the subway.’

With a random thought in his heart, Mo Haiyou stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground with his feet, making a crisp and pleasant sound. The weather was still a little cold at this moment. Mo Haiyou added a sweater to his suit jacket. He never liked to wear turtlenecks or light-colored clothes. This was exactly the opposite of Mr. Criminal Police.

Mo Haiyou felt that the turtleneck sweater seemed to be wearing a layer of shackles that bound the neck, especially after sweating on the neck, it would be very uncomfortable, and light-colored clothes were not easy to wash.

I don’t know when Mo Haiyou is becoming more and more like his mother. Mo Haiyou remembers that his mother doesn’t like wearing light-colored clothes, doesn’t like using washing machines, and doesn’t even like going to the park to dry clothes like those aunts and mothers. Even in the better weather in the sun, her mother will only hang her clothes under the eaves of her own house.

‘I wonder if Xiaoyao is the same as me?’ Mo Haiyou thought, he was a man with a very delicate mind. Although he seemed to care about anything on the surface, many trivial things were fixed to him and were unwilling to change them.

Stepping on the fallen leaves, Mo Haiyou was not in the mood to see the scenery on both sides. Although he did not come often on this road, he was not interested in taking a look at it more, and would rather immerse himself in his thinking.

This is the first time he met the host family tonight. Although he has heard of it many times before, and has also heard of the incidents he experienced with Yun Yeyao, and even has appeared in him many times, Mo Haiyou believes that he and this person can only be considered strange friends at most.

He didn't want to be too close to anyone, probably because of the shadow of his childhood. He grew up in an incomplete family, with only his mother in memory and almost nothing about his father. Yun Yeyao said that he just lost his memory, but Mo Haiyou thought things were not that simple.

Mo Haiyou's gaze was attracted by the woman in a beautiful long skirt. He walked towards the other party and stayed in the right place, which could not only see every move of the person in front of him clearly, but also prevent her from paying attention to him.

As the woman turned around, the long skirt with white background gradually turned into a sea-like blue color. Perhaps it was because it was too close to the waves, or perhaps because of the beauty revealed under the setting sun, there was only a woman left in Mo Hai's right pupil.

The hem of the clothes fluttered, with skin like a pretty jade, small and agile feet, and a pair of breathtaking beautiful eyes. Mo Haiyou felt a little drunk...

The figures on the beach were gradually approaching. The man took the woman's hand and walked with her gently. His footprints extended at the junction of white sand and blue waves, gradually forming a beautiful ribbon. The figures of the man and the woman disappeared little by little in the afterglow of the sunset, leaving only two faint outlines. A man's relaxed laughter came from a distance, bringing an end to this romantic encounter.

Everything seemed to come so suddenly. Yun Yeyao had no idea what happened to his little left. He was still waiting for a week to meet again. Everything was developing in the direction we didn't want. Or maybe Xiao Zuo Mo Haiyou finally gave up his persistence and was ready to sincerely bless the actors and the criminal police. Who can know the truth?

——

At around 6:45 pm, it was already dark. Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng drove on the road close to their destination. The traffic on this road was incomparable to the expressway just now, and it could be described as quiet.

Several cars were parked on the side of the road, and one or two cyclists passed by them, and the rest were just trees on the lawn.

Yun Yeyao sighed: "Living here is also good, the air is fresh and not noisy, which is very suitable for health preservation. It's really good!"

"Who lives here? You brought me here mysteriously, but you refused to let me buy gifts. You should let me know whose house you are going to have dinner, right?" Xie Yunmeng asked Yun Yeyao with both hands on the steering wheel. He drove the car very slowly, almost sliding forward.

Under the shade of the tree, the man sat alone, and his attention was all focused on the path covered by leaves in front of him, and he could not hear the footsteps coming from behind him.

Between the gaps between the leaves, you can see the red spots of red, just like small red stars. These reds are not deep, but they only look a little prominent against the background of the green and yellow leaves on the edge.

The wind at night was slightly stronger than during the day, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground, and the leaves on the side of the road were blown up gently, and even the white flowers of the dandelion began to scatter. However, the leaves on the path in front of the man just swayed gently, as if they were stuck to the road surface. No matter how the wind blew, there was no way to ride the wind.

The man seemed to have not noticed this strange thing, or he didn't find it strange, and had become accustomed to it. His eyes were fixed on the floating road surface, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

In a corner outside the man's sight, a slender black shadow was peering at the man in front of him. He couldn't see the face of the black shadow clearly, and could only see something flashing in his focused gaze. It seemed like an expectation, or a doubt.

A few minutes later, the man sitting on the side of the road stood up, and he walked to the place where the woods and the lawn were intersecting, and he seemed to be stepping onto the path, but his toes just touched the slightly shaking edge of the leaves, and he instantly shrank back as if he had touched something bad.

"I'd better go back, there will be no trouble here." The man said to himself, looking back at the house he had lived in for decades. The house was still the same as when his grandfather left him. It looked so light, but in fact it was the strongest existence, and it has been sheltering them from the wind and rain.

"Without this red star, I don't know what I would become..." The man sighed and turned toward the direction of the house when he thought of his behavior over the years.

Just as he turned around, the leaves on the path suddenly arched up a little bit, and a small white oval emerged from the gaps in the leaves, and then disappeared without a trace as if they were suddenly retracted into the soil.

Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng walked on the lawn covered with leaves. The path just now did not lead directly to the front of the house. The bricks and tiles on the path were gone halfway, so they could only step on the lawn and continue moving forward.

The nights in early spring were still very cold. Xie Yunmeng wrapped his hands around the actor's shoulders, and his tall body covered Yun Yeyao's body. The two of them looked so happy and harmonious. No one passed by here, so it didn't matter if they were bolder.

The wind blew the actor's bangs, probably because he hadn't trimmed them for a long time. The tip of the bangs kept sweeping across his eyelashes, causing some trouble to Yun Yeyao. He simply tucked all the bangs behind his head, revealing his face exactly the same as Mo Haiyou.

Xie Yunmeng looked at this face. Even if there were no bangs, there was a clear difference between actors and forensic doctors in his mind. This was a habit and a certain feeling that would not change as time passed.

Her fingers unconsciously stroked Yun Yeyao's side face, and Xie Yunmeng said: "Let's walk around the house in front to see if it will change its shape."

"I probably can't see it now," Yun Yeyao replied: "Look at this house, it is all made of steel structures and small pieces of glass lenses. The glass lenses are not transparent to the inside, but only reflect sunlight from the outside. I think part of it disappears because of reflection. The white reflection covers the frame of the house, causing those who look at it to feel that part of the house seems to have disappeared."

"But there shouldn't be such an effect at night, because there is no light source at night, so what should I use to reflect light?"

Yun Yeyao's words really make sense. Xie Yunmeng said: "Then let's take a look. Anyway, this is a very strange house."

Just as the two were about to circumnavigate behind the house, a person Yun Yeyao had just met on the verge of that day passed by them.

After seeing this, Yun Yeyao immediately broke free from Xie Yunmeng's arms, stepped forward and said hello: "Mr. Wei, what a coincidence, do you live here?"

"Ah! Mr. Yun?"

Wei Haohua saw that Yun Yeyao did not show surprise, but with a look of confusion on his face, he said, "Why are you still here?"

"Am I? Xiao Meng and I just arrived!"

The old man in the second place put down his wine glass, picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, and then slowly said: "He has nothing to do and he just falls in love with some people all day long! It seems that their progress has been good recently, but it's a pity, brother, you can't hold your great-grandson."

"I don't care! I'm already very upset with such a grandson." The old man in the main seat complained, glaring at the real grandson who had never spoken so far.

The young man sitting on the left hand was cheering and drinking with his mother was also helpless. He said, "Grandpa, don't you just need to involve me in everything? You've known about them for a long time. Why are you still angry now?"

"Which eye did you get angry when you see me? Little Chi, eat your meal! Try less!"

"Yes, I'll just eat and don't speak." The young man rolled his eyes and replied, and the interaction between their grandparents and grandchildren immediately made the old man opposite amused. He said, "You two are the same. They are still the same for so many years. I said, "Brother, should you change your attitude towards your grandson?"

"I'm too old to change it. If he had been a detective as I hoped, I wouldn't have grown up so quickly?"

"Grandpa, you have a face that looks old and blame me for being too unreasonable." The young man immediately retorted, in return for his grandfather's more intense anger.

The family started today's dinner in such a noisy but extremely harmonious atmosphere. Although the old man in the main seat said he didn't care, his eyes were staring at the door intentionally or unintentionally. People around him knew what he was looking forward to? He was just unwilling to poke through this layer of window paper.

——

Not only Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao, but even Mo Haiyou did not appear at the party tonight. We know that Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao were temporarily invited by Wei Haohua to his house. But where did the forensic doctor Mo Haiyou go?

Since Mo Haiyou met Miss Wei in the afternoon, he has been very strange in behavior. He has obviously rejected Mr. Wei's invitation and walked towards the agreed place. According to time, he should have arrived before dinner at 7 o'clock.

However, after he passed by Mr. Wei's car, not long after, he could no longer be seen on the road, as if he suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

Wei Haohua continued his strange and horrifying story, but Xie Yunmeng didn't take it seriously. He felt that this man likes to show off. Maybe he had told many people that he and Xiaoyao were just one of his "scared" targets.

Xie Yunmeng's eyes looked out the window from time to time. He was enjoying the night view as if he was passing out boredom. Suddenly, a dark shadow outside the window caught his eye. The black shadow moved very quickly and flashed in a flash, but the detective still could see clearly.

Xie Yunmeng became alert in an instant, and he stood up and said, "It seems that someone is outside the window!"

This sentence guided everyone's eyes out the window, but they saw nothing. Wei Haohua said: "Officer Xie, it's impossible for someone to pass by here at night. You are too alert. Do you have such professional habits as a criminal policeman?"

"No, I did see the black shadow. His movement was very fast and he went over there." Xie Yunmeng pointed his hand not far away and said with certainty.

At this time, Wei Haohua also stood up. He walked to the window and looked out the window. His face became gloomy and seemed to have remembered something. Wei Haohua changed his words and said, "By the way, there are several children nearby who often go there to play at night. I have already hit them several times, but there is no effect at all. You guys wait a moment, I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, he found the flashlight and walked out the door.

Xie Yunmeng muttered softly behind his back: "Is it really a child?" He looked at Yun Yeyao on the side, as if he was conveying some information to Yun Yeyao? This made Yun Yeyao's face become serious, and he said, "Xiao Meng, why don't you go and have a look with Mr. Wei, maybe you can help."

Yun Yeyao's sudden words made Wei Haohua, who had just walked to the door, stand there in a moment. He said, "No need, it must be those children who are playing tricks. I will come back soon." After saying that, he left the house as if he ran away. When the door made a collision sound, it seemed that the switch for something was activated. Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng frowned at the same time.

Xie Yunmeng clearly saw an adult figure. This person was at least as tall as Yun Yeyao. Why did Wei Haohua insist on talking about a child? And why did his face change immediately when he saw the direction Xie Yunmeng pointed, and his tone of speaking revealed tension?

When Xie Yunmeng asked for accommodation, Wei Haohua agreed without thinking. He said, "There are two free rooms in this house. Please wait and ask the aunt to clean it up. I will take you upstairs to see my sister Mingyue. She shouldn't fall asleep yet. Mingyue will read books until very late every day. You will know when you see her. She is really a very quiet girl."

Hearing Wei Haohua's words, the aunt stood up and said, "Then I'll go clean now. I'm sleepy too. You can go to rest after cleaning. You can chat slowly. If it's too late tonight, there is food in the refrigerator, so you can just heat it up by yourself."

"I got it, good night."

"Good night." Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng also stood up and greeted him.

After the aunt left, the three of them sat down to continue their topic. It was not until 9 o'clock in the evening that Wei Haohua stood up and prepared to take them to his sister's place to say hello.

Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng felt it was inappropriate at first. The two big men could say hello at breakfast tomorrow. However, Wei Haohua insisted, so they were embarrassed to refuse too much. The three of them climbed the narrow stairs in the house. The stairs were located opposite the kitchen, facing up against the wall, and could only walk one person at a time.

After reaching the second floor, there are four rooms side by side in the corner. Wei Yueming lives in the last room at the bottom of the corridor. The entire inner side of the wall is black and composed of a steel structure frame. Looking from the inside out, it is like it is made of black wall bricks. The doors of the four rooms are dark-toned. If there is no silver door handle, it is easy to ignore it if you don’t have silver door handles embedded on the black wall.

The three of them walked to the front of Wei Yueming's door. Wei Haohua raised his hand and knocked on the door and shouted, "Mingyue, are you asleep?"

"Ah!" It was strange that there was no answer, but a small scream, as if Wei Haohua's shouting scared Wei Yueming.

Wei Haohua suddenly became nervous and asked loudly: "Are you okay? Mingyue, are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Wei Haohua was also shocked by this scene. Not to mention why there was one more man in his sister's room? And he couldn't figure out who this man was, because he looked so similar to Yun Yeyao. But now it's not the time to ask, Xie Yunmeng and Mo Haiyou are about to fight.

The two were arguing fiercely in the room, and the sister was so scared that she hugged in the corner. Yun Yeyao also looked overly frightened. In order to avoid a bloody fight in his house, Wei Haohua had to take the risk to go up and persuade the fight.

At this time, the aunt who was cleaning the guest room next door ran over. As soon as she saw Mo Haiyou, she said, "Mr. Mo, when did you come back? How did you talk in Mingyue's room in the afternoon? Are you reluctant to let Miss Mingyue come back?"

The aunt looked like she thought Mo Haiyou and Wei Yueming were dating. Her unintentional words seemed to confirm Yun Yeyao's guess. Yun Yeyao suddenly said, "I'll leave first." The man rushed out of the room and ran downstairs.

He didn't know where he was going? He just wanted to leave here to calm down. Mingyue's beauty shocked Yun Yeyao's heart at first sight. If he was such a beautiful girl, it was normal for Mo Haiyou to be moved. What was he thinking? Such a reaction was so embarrassing. He already had Xiao Meng, why did he still hold Xiao Zuo tightly in his heart?

All of this is something that Yun Yeyao can't figure out. To be more precise, it is something that he doesn't want to figure out, so he can only choose to escape.

Running outdoors in one breath, Yun Yeyao crawled into the woods, and the anxious shouts of Xie Yunmeng and Mo Haiyou came from behind. Yun Yeyao didn't want to stop at this moment. He didn't want to see the two men quarreling, and didn't want to see the three people fall apart from now on. I don't want to, I really don't want to!

The hazy vision did not notice the path under my feet, covered with fallen leaves, and the green and yellow fallen leaves were densely covered with all the original colors. Yun Yeyao stepped on it hard, and the world seemed to have suddenly rotated. When Yun Yeyao realized the danger, everything was irreversible...

The two elderly people who were drinking and eating were already a little drunk while they were drinking and drinking. The young people around them quickly stopped them and refused to let them drink anymore, because drinking too much is not good for blood pressure.

At this time, the old man who sat on the table asked, "I heard that there is a strange house here. When the sun shines during the day, from different angles, some of them seem to disappear. I really want to see it."

"Then I'll take you there now. It's not far from our house. It only takes more than ten minutes to walk. We just wake up and just take a walk! It's also fun to see this house at night!"

"good."

The two old men hit it off and stood up from the dining table. The old man who was sitting on the main seat said to the middle-aged woman: "You eat slowly at home, and the elderly and I will go out for a walk."

"Then be careful, don't go too long." The middle-aged woman smiled and ran over to open the door for them.
To be continued...
