Chapter 8 Red Wine
Xu Yang never expected that the unexpected end would be that he blushed and asked someone to move back to the ladder.
After falling to the ground, he ran away without looking back, and the residual heat on his face continued all the way downstairs.Lan Ke just came up, stopped him in the stairwell, and handed over the evidence that the police found on the second floor window sill.
"We hope you can think about other characteristics of the suspect. There is no one with golden eyes in Anjia Village. This may be the suspect's disguise."
Xu Yang looked at the burnt bandage inside the plastic bag, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "His right arm should be injured."
Lan Ke's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What injury? Where is the exact location?"
"On the outside of the forearm, the gunshot wound was a blank bullet without a bullet, but it should still have caused a relatively serious impact injury."
Lan Ke wrote down quickly in his notebook, and suddenly thought of something, and said seriously, "Who fired the gun? Do you have a license to hold a gun?"
Xu Yang was startled, and quickly said: "It's a toy gun. I opened it, but it was already burned." Afterwards, he returned the thing and changed the subject: "I don't think the murderer entered the house to commit the crime. There are many guns on the roof. I just went to see the man-made traces with Chief Yan, and it is very likely that they were left by the murderer."
Lan Ke looked at him suspiciously, and finally just said "Got it, keep in touch", and then left.
Before they knew it, it was noon, and everyone was invited to Anjia Villa.After Xu Yang met up with the others, he went upstairs to find someone before the luncheon started.
After asking the housekeeper, he walked through many rooms and stood in front of a door that said do not disturb.He stared at the listing hesitatingly, and suddenly heard the cannonball inside, and the sound of fingers crackling on the keys was also continuous.
He grinned, and knocked on the door slowly a few times, but he couldn't avoid being frightened and flustered inside.
After the door opened, An Sen, who was wearing the hoodie from last night, breathed a sigh of relief, and the other party said, "So it's Mr. Xu, what's the matter?"
"I'll ask you something." Xu Yang walked into the room, looking softly into the other's eyes, "I don't know if you mind."
Anson leaned on the door frame and said, "The police officer asked me to take notes. I haven't seen any suspects with bad taste in bandages. I'm busy, so you can find my brother."
It sounds like a eviction order has been issued.Xu Yang was not in a hurry, and went straight to the desk to look at the exercise set that had been spread out temporarily. "Mr. Xu is too polite. You can just call me Xu Yang, or you can call me Brother Yang." He deliberately got to know the person first, and then he bent down to look at the clean and new paper, and said: "You can stare at the topic if you stare at it." What's the matter, mathematics needs to be written, let me have a look."
"100 people form a circle, numbered 1 to 100, start counting from 1 in turn, report to exit at 4, and then continue to start from 1, ask what is the original number of the last person left?" After reading, the corner of his mouth raised Gradually stopped, and turned around incredulously.
"Is this a math problem?" There was no computer or anything like that in the room.
Anson raised his chin, "Is it difficult? A number will come out soon. Last time, I reported 3 and quit."
"It's not difficult." Xu Yang leaned on the edge of the table and said, "If I remember correctly, the last answer should be 91."
Sure enough, the other party's eyes lit up and asked: "What about the answer this time?"
Xu Yang: "34."
Then, Anson wrote down the answer on the paper.He looked up at Xu Yang and wandered his eyes on the various comics and cookbooks on the bookcase, touched the tip of his nose, and said indifferently: "I am not a material for reading, I broke my brain when I was young, but both brothers Said they would support me in the future."
"Are you brothers?" Xu Yang raised his eyelids lightly.
"Otherwise, we don't look alike?" An Sen suddenly became irritable like a cat whose tail was stepped on, but he quickly extinguished his anger when he saw Xu Yang's non-malicious eyes.
After a while, he said frankly: "We all came from the orphanage, and we were adopted to Anjia later." He tilted his head and looked at Xu Yang's calm expression, took out the game console and played again Get up, "You can go and have a look, it's on the cliff in the north."
The cliff seems to be the place where Aunt Zhao's husband had an accident.
After Xu Yang made a note of it secretly, he asked again: "Is there a hostess in this villa?" He walked in through the gate alone, and just ran into the owner of the villa who was going to socialize - a middle-aged man who was quite attractive.
"Of course." Anson replied quickly, "Our mother is the best mother in the world."
***
After the banquet, everyone came to the restaurant to sit down one after another.
The fire in the wall was booming, and the whole villa didn't seem to lose interest because of a murder in the village.In the center of the restaurant is a gorgeous European-style round table, covered with pure white cloth, and there are several glasses of colorful wine, rippling under the crystal lamp.
Xu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at it, not thinking that it would be something delicious.
After everyone arrived, An Mu, who presided over the lunch, clapped his hands and asked the servants to set the tableware.He looked at the crowd with a smile and said: "The reception was not good yesterday, please forgive me-wait a minute, it seems that there are too many chairs, come and deal with them."
After finishing speaking, the others quietly watched the servant take away the empty seat, which was originally reserved for Yi Han.
After the servants were divided into rows and stood on both sides, An Mu spoke again, with a heavy tone: "What happened to Aunt Zhao is not everyone's fault, but I still hope that everyone can do their best to fulfill her last wish, and we will help Yes." After finishing speaking, he resumed his original tone, "Dear guest, since the reception banquet has been prepared, let's not waste this table of food. Let's have some appetizers first, An Lin is thinking about it. The red wine that I couldn't drink last night."
At the same time, An Lin cast his eyes on Vivienne who was opposite, and the admiration in his eyes was not hidden.
Xu Yang looked down at Xia Chen beside him who was grinding the floor hard with his shoes, not knowing who to pity, An Mu continued: "The wines on the table are collected by An's villa for many years, some are quite strong, and some are rare fruit wines , everyone, please don't be polite. Let's play a game and count the number in the order of one round. In each round, one person will be determined to drink. The first person will report a number, starting from the second person to call 1, and the third person to call 2 , and go on like this, the person who finally called that number picked a glass of wine from the table and drank it. Then, the next person started a new round of counting.”
After waiting for everyone to digest the rules, An Mu said, "This game is not so complicated, but I heard from An Sen that there is a gentleman who is very good at it." He looked at Xu Yang while talking.
Xu Yang raised the tails of his eyes slightly, not flustered, "Thank you for the compliment."
Ou Ze, who was seated opposite him, stared for a while at the drinks that had no difference in color, then turned around and asked the key question: "Will the last one who is still drunk win a prize?"
An Mu smiled, and stretched out his index finger to his lips, "Yes, but it's a secret."
With a "click", all the hands of the vertical pendulum clock pointed to 12.After another twelve thuds, An Mu turned to the person beside him and said, "Xiao Mori, start the first round from your position—the game has begun."
Ansen rolled his eyes, counted with each hand, and said, "32."
"It's my turn counterclockwise." An Mu looked around the crowd and said leisurely, and then began to count: "One." An Lin on his right continued: "Two."
Ou Ze: "...Three."
Ji Qiuyun: "Four."
Lin Xincen clenched his sleeves tightly, feeling a very strong premonition for some reason, "Five."
Xu Yang frowned slightly, "Six."
Xia Chen immediately shouted: "Seven."
Vivian: "Eight."
"Nine." The lap ended after Anson reported, and Anmu continued from ten.
After two rounds of shouting, it was all betting on who would hit the target.Lin Xincen's face was already pale, and he no longer had the arrogance of the past.She was trembling all over after hearing Ji Qiuyun call "31", and she made a red mark on her palm with her fingertips.
"It seems that the first round of the game is over." An Mu's cold eyes swept towards the girl who seemed to have lost her life, "Miss Lin, please choose a glass of wine."
Lin Xincen didn't make a sound, she lowered her head and didn't look at the crowd.But within a few moments, a servant brought a glass of wine for her and put it in front of her.
"I won't drink!" She pushed away the servant and said firmly, "Just be polite and play along, just keep the wine, it's my business whether to drink or not."
An Mu spread his hands, "Since Miss Lin said so, don't participate in our games from now on. But you have to drink this glass of wine according to the rules, otherwise it will be unfair to others."
Lin Xincen looked at him with red eyes, "I don't drink if I say I don't drink, what are you, you dare to order me!" But just as she finished speaking, An Mu lost his patience and didn't intend to pity her.
"Fill." He indifferently beckoned the servant to do it.Immediately, two servants came up to support Lin Xincen and opened her mouth.
Lin Xincen coughed a few times and felt that extremely high alcohol was being poured down his throat, and suddenly felt his entire stomach burning.Xu Yang, who had been paying attention to this side, immediately took out a few tissues and pressed them to the base of her tongue to induce vomiting, but was stopped by the servant within a few seconds.
"Don't be so ruthless, everyone's kindness makes money." Ji Qiuyun, who was splashed with wine, tilted his head in disbelief, while the faces of the other two boys were also terribly green.
Soon, the servant who came to do it directly removed Lin Xincen's chair.The girl recovered from her cough and staggered to her feet, knocked people away and left in a hurry.
"I'm sorry to make everyone unhappy, but I really don't like people who don't follow the rules. But the remaining five people are just right." An Mu clapped his hands and urged Xu Yang: "Mr. Xu, a new round of games It's about to start, please take a seat as soon as possible."
If the mental calculation is fast, the person who reported the number can still designate the next person to drink.I don't know where the desire to win or lose came from, the remaining five people didn't call out anymore, they consciously turned the wine glass to the dealer, and the three An brothers were completely unambiguous when they took a sip of wine, sometimes provocatively Turn the wine glass upside down.Therefore, the scene became more crazy and out of control, no one would admit defeat, and no one was afraid.
After an unknown amount of time, all the wine on the round table was emptied.The strong smell of alcohol permeated the air, no matter how hard he tried, the person who should be drunk still fell down.
Xu Yang can drink well, but he doesn't drink often.At this moment, he carefully looked at his unconscious companion, and tried his best not to let himself pass out.
"Since the wine is finished, our game is over, and everyone has missed the last secret." An Mu smiled and looked at him with a dangerous expression, as if he was planning to silently erase everyone in front of him.
"Go!" Xu Yang had only this thought in his mind.He stood up in a drowsy state, dangling under the crystal lamp, ready to go all the way to wake up others.But he only took a few steps, and his body was approaching the limit.Seeing that he was about to kneel down on the spot, a person quickly walked over and caught him.
Seeing the other party's exquisite attire and graceful neckline, Xu Yang stared in a daze, and hugged him back involuntarily.On the collar of the other party, there is a warm but gradually mild woody fragrance, which makes people's heart sink instantly.
"Go to sleep, it won't be uncomfortable when you wake up."
Xu Yang hummed reassuringly, leaned on the man's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Probably because of the high altitude, the sunset outside the window took a long time to sink into the sky.Yan Chen turned his body to cover Yu Hui and hid the unconscious man in the shadow, the expression on his face was gloomy.
The bright red wine moistened Xu Yang's dry lips, and a flower bloomed between the teeth, and the color also dried on the clear collarbone.
Yan Chen gently wiped the liquid from the corner of the other party's mouth, sighed and hugged him tightly.After a while, he looked at the person on the main seat, his eyes changed instantly, sharp and indifferent.
An Mu only confronted him for a while, then called his two younger brothers to leave.Before leaving, he said: "Since Chief Yan wants to take care of the guests instead of us, then I won't disturb your interest."
