I'm not Yingjie

And in a place where no one can see, an exaggerated smile quietly emerges.

April Fools' Day Special: The annihilation of Yingjie in Snow Mountain Villa 3

The snow and wind were howling, and there was still no end in sight on the way home.

Lin sat alone by the stove, the flickering firelight flickering alternately on his face and the crackling sound of firewood.

"Aren't you going to rest yet?" Mebius stood behind him and asked softly with rare tenderness.

"...I'm afraid no one dares to sleep today." Lin gently patted Mebius' hand on his shoulder.

It was like some kind of threatening letter, and the malice it spread made everyone shudder.

A prank? Or is there someone lurking around the house?

No one knows.

But while waiting for the snowstorm to stop, I'm afraid everyone else will keep their room doors and windows tightly closed.

"Who do you think wrote that piece of paper?"

In this silent moment, Mebius asked a question in a cold tone.

"..."

Lin actually understood Mebius's thoughts. The sentences written on the paper were probably the methods of killing, corresponding to thirteen people in total. Including Su who had disappeared, there were fourteen of them.

In other words, the person who wrote the crime notice might be among them, the "extra person".

But this cannot rule out the possibility that this was the murderer's strategy, deliberately causing them to fight among themselves. The most straightforward point is that everyone is now afraid to be with other people.

"Huh... I still can't think of anything." Lin shook his head. He was still confused. Anything was possible. "Let's go back to the room."

The fire in the hall went out.

A pair of cold-blooded eyes opened.

……

Lin and Mebius walked into the hall neatly dressed and greeted the few people who had already arrived.

It was obvious that most of the people looked listless and had not slept well, and the wind and snow were still falling outside the window, which made their gloomy mood even worse.

"Who else hasn't arrived?" Lin counted the number of people and found that two people were missing.

The others looked at each other, and the ever-perceptive Sakura added, "Qianjie and Kevin haven't arrived yet."

"..."

Lin had a bad feeling in his heart, so he turned around and walked quickly towards Kevin's room.

Except for Lin and Mebius who lived in the same room, the men lived on the first floor and the women on the second floor. The top floor was the tea room and utility room, so he soon arrived at Kevin's door.

Qian Jie also walked over from the corridor at this time. He saw Lin coming here aggressively and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Have you seen Kevin?" Lin inquired.

"Not yet. I just came out of the room."

Lin started knocking on Kevin's door without saying a word, and he used quite a lot of force. The sound of the knocking should be enough to alarm everyone in the villa.

"Kevin!" Lin shouted loudly.

But it was so quiet inside the door that it was scary.

This kind of noise would wake people up even if they were upstairs, let alone sleeping, right?

What's more, Kevin doesn't sleep in, he is an office worker.

At this moment Qianjie also realized something was wrong. He took two steps at a time and came to Lin's side, ready to knock on the door.

"Wait a minute." Lin shook his head to stop him, and Eden came over with the key.

Lin took the spare key that only Eden, the owner of the villa, had, and inserted it into the keyhole. Two clicks made him stunned for a moment.

This kind of door can only be locked once from the inside, and can only be locked twice from the outside using a key, which means that this door... was locked from the outside!

Without time to think, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"boom!"

Red occupied his sight.

Everyone stood at the door in a daze, looking at the window where hot air and the smell of meat were blowing in. Then a pillar of fire shot up into the sky, dispelling the cold wind.

A motionless "fire man" tied to a dead tree in the snow is burning fiercely.

His white hair gradually curled, turned black, and turned into ashes in the flames.

"Kevin!"

Lin and Qianjie jumped out of the open window without hesitation and came to the side of the tied Kevin, but the flames had already engulfed Kevin's body, and even if they threw snow on him, they couldn't stop the burning.

Lin smelled a pungent smell. Was it... gasoline?

Under everyone's desperate gaze, Kevin burned violently in the flames...

……

"Oh!"

"Who is it?"

At this moment, Kosmo looked even angrier than Qianjie. Although he was not good at speaking, he was now roaring heartbreakingly.

"Who killed Kevin?"

Lin squatted silently beside Kevin's charred body. The body had been burned beyond recognition and not even a trace of his former handsomeness could be seen.

"A mad man burns himself in the ice."

This is the second sentence on the paper.

Apparently, this time it showed them its accuracy in a more intuitive and terrifying way.

But even though he is so hurt now, Lin has to investigate Kevin's body, otherwise they might have someone else killed before the police arrive.

Moreover, Kevin's "burning at the stake" is obviously full of doubts.

First of all, the words "self-immolation" were written on the paper, and Kevin was tied up and motionless at the time. It was obvious that someone had made him unable to move and then set him on fire.

And the description of "crazy man" does not apply to the very calm Kevin in any way.

Lin observed Kevin's body, but the body was burned too cleanly. All the clothes and hair were burned to ashes. Even if he tried to observe carefully, he could not find any clues.

"It must have been done by one of you!" Kosmo's hysterical roar made Lin turn around.

"Kevin's door was locked from the outside! I saw Lin turn the lock twice when he opened it! Someone dragged him out of the room, tied him up there, set him on fire, and then left the room, locked the door, and went back to the villa!"

"..."

Yes, at the moment, this is indeed the only possibility.

Kevin himself had no way of locking the door twice from the inside. The only possibility was that someone locked the door from the outside, and that person might have locked the door one more time before leaving after committing the crime.

However, it is not ruled out that He did it on purpose, just to tell them...

He is among them.

"Eden, did you find Kevin's key?"

Eden was forcing herself to stay calm and not look at Kevin's body. Sadness could not help showing in her eyes. She nodded wistfully: "It's on the bedside table in the room..."

In other words, the only possible key to lock the door is the spare key...

"Could it be you? Eden!" Kosmo immediately shifted his target to Eden.

“Calm down, kid!” Qianjie, who was always reckless, seemed much calmer at this moment. He stopped Kosmo and said, “Anyone can steal the spare key from Eden!”

"Then tell me... who killed Kevin..."

Everyone was silent.

Yeah, who did it...

Cracks began to appear among the fourteen close-knit people.

And the instigator was watching all this with a smile.

April Fools' Day Special: Snow Mountain Villa Heroes Group Destroyed Event 4

"Now let's report our respective itineraries."

Lin stood tiredly beside the sofa, looking at the tense atmosphere among the people. He had no choice but to muster up his energy to collect clues.

"Lin... I think... it's better not to do this now..."

At this moment, the silent Abonya suddenly spoke up to stop Lin. She looked at Lin with a calm expression.

"..."

Lin looked at the people who were silent and lowered their heads, and he sighed heavily.

If he were to ask about their itinerary now, it would only increase their suspicions. If he were to take everyone to separate rooms for questioning one by one, his personal credibility would not be enough to prove that he was not the murderer.

If the people sitting here were strangers to each other, this situation would not happen, but precisely because they are close friends, the conflict becomes even more serious.

But we can't go on like this.

Lin felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He expected that this was just the beginning...

……

The successive deaths of Sue and Kevin completely made the room lose its temperature. Even though the stove was still burning, only the coldness was spreading.

At the same time, in order to prevent more victims from appearing, they unanimously decided that everyone would stay together in the living room until the police arrived.

"Lin, come here."

Qianjie's call interrupted Lin's thoughts. When he looked up, he saw a white-haired man wearing a mask standing at the door of his room, and he tilted his head at him.

He felt a slight pulling force on his arm, and when he looked down, he saw that Mebius, who had closed his eyes in his arms, opened his eyes with a cold look.

Her meaning was obvious: don't go.

“…” But Lin still gently pushed her hand away, stood up and walked into the room with Qianjie.

Because he knew that Qianjie would not look for him for no reason.

As expected, as soon as he entered, Qianjie locked the door, then put his ear to the door. After confirming that no one was following him outside, he lowered his voice and said to Lin: "Lin, I may know who the murderer is."

As soon as these words came out, Lin felt a strong sense of disharmony in his heart, but he didn't think of where this sense of disharmony came from.

Perhaps affected by other people's emotions, Qianjie's voice was very low, and the mask blurred the sound. Lin could hardly hear what he was saying and could only listen to him concentrate.

"...Qianjie, you don't need to drag me here alone, others will listen to your opinion." Lin shook his head, "And even if you get my support, it will be useless. What you need to do is to tell everyone your ideas and let them make the judgment."

"But what I want to talk about is about you. To be more precise... it's about you and Mebius."

"..."

After hearing Qianjie mention his wife's name, Lin's expression changed, and Qianjie saw it. He continued, "Do you know why Abonya said not to discuss it anymore? That woman, hum..."

"Is it related to Aponia?"

"Because there's something wrong with her schedule. Judging from the situation at the scene, someone killed Kevin and left his room and locked the door, right? And you said that you and Mebius were the last two people to arrive besides me, which rules out the three of us in terms of time."

They all agreed that Qianjie was not stupid, but it was a bit unexpected that he could patiently organize his words without sounding irritable or sarcastic at all.

"And I just heard Kosmo talking to himself..."

At this time, Qianjie's voice was completely lowered to the extreme.

"'Aponia came from the guest room area on the first floor.'"

"..."

The guest room area on the first floor?

As mentioned before, this villa is divided into three floors. The men's accommodation area is on the first floor, and the women's accommodation is on the second floor. So according to common sense, Aponia should have come to the living room from the second floor.

In other words, Aponya at that time...

"Humph, I had long guessed that this woman would do it, but I didn't expect Kevin to fall into her hands..."
