Chapter 299 Someone Is Dead

"It's just some superficial injuries, nothing serious."

Fujino took a look at the scar on his arm and said, "I guess it will be enough to wrap it with a bandage."

"I'll get the medicine kit."

Hui Yuan Ai didn't say much, turned around and quickly went to get the medical kit.

"Is it really okay?"

Hongye glanced at Fujino worriedly: "Obviously he fell from such a high place to protect me..."

"It really doesn't matter..."

Fujino moved his arms helplessly: "I'm still fine, there's nothing wrong with me."

"Really, you are still showing off despite being injured like this. It's just like back then...I'm going to ask someone to come over and take you to the hospital..."

Ooka Momiji glanced at Fujino's injuries distressedly, wiped her tears, and took out a pink flip phone from her pocket.

But after dialing the number, a message came from the other end: "Your number is not in the service area, please call again later."

"well?!"

Ooka Hongye said in surprise: "Why is there no signal?"

"Maybe it's because there are no base stations in such deep mountains and forests."

Haiyuan Ai came back with the medical kit, "In a place like this, landline phones like telephone lines should still be used for communication..."

"Landline phone……"

Ooka Hongye suddenly remembered something: "When I first came here, I saw a landline phone in the lobby!"

"But in this situation, it's still too risky to go to the lobby to make a phone call."

Xiao Ai took over the conversation, "After all, we just found the mummy in the basement."

"Mummy..."

Hong Ye recalled the scene just now and seemed a little frightened, "Is it the same as what Xiao Ai said, is it the villagers who were sacrificed?"

"That's just Xiao Ai's joke."

Fujino chuckled and said: "Maybe it's just some local customs or something, for example, dead relatives need to be hidden in their own villa or something. As for the injuries on my body, it's really nothing serious."

"Compared with these, the most important thing is to deal with his wounds quickly."

Xiao Ai put down the medical kit and rummaged through it to find a bandage. She turned her head and looked at Hongye: "Miss, come here and help me."

"oh oh!"

Red Leaf Chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, surprised by Xiao Ai's calm look.

To be honest, she has always felt a little weird ever since she met this little girl.

He didn't show too much shock when he saw the corpse, and his personality was extremely stable.

Vaguely, she felt that the other person was like a little adult.

But she didn't think too deeply about it.

After all, no matter what you say, you can’t become a small adult, right?

This is unreasonable and unscientific.

…………

Although it was their first time working together, the two of them had a good understanding.

Hongye was responsible for bandaging the back, while Xiao Ai was responsible for the arms.

As for the lower body, Fujino still has to do it himself.

While bandaging, Fujino silently turned on his eagle eyes and observed the movements of everyone near the room to prevent anyone from breaking into the guest room.

While observing, Fujino was thinking about the secret room just now and the mummy in the secret room.

Fujino is currently unable to determine the cause of death of the mummy. It may have been burned to death, or it may have been beheaded.

The time of death could not be determined because it was scorched.

But what is certain is that the mummy must have some connection with the secrets of Rokkaku Village.

He didn't want to delve into the matter for the time being.

After all, if the village is really involved, then judging from the secrets hidden in [Hidden in Hexagonal Village] given by the system, everyone in this entire village is the murderer.

Now that they had accidentally discovered the body, it must have aroused suspicion. If they investigated the secret at this time, they would most likely be hunted down by the entire village.

He didn't have anything, but Xiao Ai and Hong Ye were different.

Without ruling out that the other party had weapons such as guns, he couldn't say that he would protect them both 100%.

Unless he strikes first and turns the entire village into a living hell...

This is not the result he wants to see.

On second thought, since the other party has not taken action yet, there is a high probability that the matter of breaking them into the secret room is not directly related to the so-called secret, but is just observing in secret.

Or in other words, he didn't take it to heart at all.

In this case, his first choice was to ensure the safety of Ooka Momiji and Haibara Ai.

As for other things, it might not be too late to come back and investigate again after leaving.

Anyway, the system does not give a limited time.

…………

Soon, the time came to nine o'clock in the evening.

The pre-wedding dinner was held as scheduled.

Ooka Momiji put on an exquisite pink dress. The hem of the dress went above the knees, and the chest was well covered. It even seemed to be a lot smaller. It is not difficult to see from the design that this dress It is worn for high-end occasions.

Wearing it on this occasion, it feels like Lu Bu is riding a dog.

Xiao Ai put on the black Lolita and was still so cute.

As for Fujino, he was wearing a black suit, a body armor underneath, and a windbreaker outside. It could be said that he had put on all the vests that could save his life.

Several people met Odagiri Susumu and came to the banquet hall of the Clock Hall.

At this time, the banquet hall was already full of guests.

In addition to the owners of the six restaurants in the village, many celebrities from the village also came.

The pre-wedding dinner officially began.

The door of the room not far away was pushed open, and Tokita Wakaba walked out.

Tokita Wakaba was wearing an exquisitely crafted slim wedding dress. Her delicate face was slightly covered by a white veil on her short black hair. She was holding a bouquet of red flowers in her hand, but her demeanor seemed particularly cold.

Behind her, followed a girl in a black evening dress.

Fujino felt that the girl looked familiar...

Upon closer inspection, it was the girl holding two crows that he met when he asked for directions before.

The next person to appear was the groom of this wedding, a man named Liancheng Jiuyan.

Liancheng Jiuyan wore a white hood, and the style of the hood was like that of an executioner in ancient times, with only his eyes exposed, which unexpectedly matched the weird feeling of this village.

After the bride and groom entered, the banquet officially began.

However, according to the strange custom of this village that the bride must stay in the church for one night when getting married, after meeting everyone, Wakaba left the banquet with the crow girl and went to the church in the middle of the village.

Before leaving, Wakaba glanced at Odagiri.

But Odagiri looked flustered and couldn't speak.

"Mr. Tokita, congratulations!"

A man with a birthmark covering half of his face was using a knife and fork to dissect the steak on the plate, and smiled at Tokita Shisan who was sitting next to him: "Being able to become relatives with the county's leading rich family, the Liancheng family, the future development of this village depends entirely on your family!"

"Hehe, no way!"

Tokita Shisan put a piece of steak into his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

"Is this the so-called political marriage?"

Huihara Ai sat on Fujino's left, holding a drink, and silently scanned everyone present.

She understood that Wakaba's wedding was the so-called marriage.

Although the status of both parties is not too high, and it is just a financial transaction, the so-called marriage is just like this.

It is nothing more than money, power and the like.

It is really evil capitalism.

"If it is a political marriage, it would be fine. This level of marriage is just a small fight..."

Ooka Hongye looked at Huihara Ai deeply, "To be honest, I really feel sorry for Ruoye, but there is nothing I can do about it."

"Yes, this is someone's family affair after all."

Fujino echoed.

"You should still be minors, right? It's best not to drink champagne."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Fujino's thoughts.

Fujino turned his head and saw a middle-aged mixed-race man with golden hair, wearing a black evening suit, appearing behind him.

"You should be from outside the village, right?"

Fushima Junya introduced himself with a smile: "My last name is Fuushima, and I am the village representative of this village."

"Mr. Fuushima?"

Fujino thought for a moment: "Could it be Fuushima of the Kazexiang Pavilion?"

"Yes."

Fushima Junya nodded: "I am the owner of the Kazexiang Pavilion."

"I see..."

Fujino chuckled: "My name is Fujino, and I am here with my friends to attend the wedding. This is my younger sister, Huihara Ai."

Huihara Ai nodded skillfully.

Ooka Hongye, who was not introduced, looked at Fujino with resentment, and then chuckled and introduced herself: "My last name is Ooka, Wakaba's classmate, and I am his fiancée."

"Fiancée?!"

Fushima was surprised, "But by the way, why do I feel like I have heard of the surname Ooka somewhere?"

"Heard of?"

Fujino was a little confused.

Although the Ooka family does look very powerful, and may even be extremely powerful, their reputation is not so great that it would spread to such a remote mountain valley...

"Ah——!"

A scream suddenly interrupted Fujino's thoughts.

A few people turned around and saw an old woman wearing a medieval dress suddenly yelling: "Fire...Fire!"

"Mrs. Kusanagi?"

A noblewoman wearing a tight black evening dress and a charming temperament looked at the old woman, looking a little confused.

"The church is on fire!"

With the old woman's shout, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became cold, and everyone's face sank.

And Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely feeling that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

The church is on fire...

He remembered that the mummy before was burned to death.

Is there any connection between the two?

Seeing this, the two maids from the Clock House on the side hurriedly helped the old woman away from the banquet.

"What's wrong with her?" Fujino asked Kazesai Junye who was standing by. "She is the owner of Ivy House, her name is Kusanagi Sanko." Kazesai Junye explained: "She became like this since her son died in a car accident five years ago..." Before he could finish, the man with a birthmark on his face suddenly clicked his tongue and said unhappily: "Why hasn't this crazy old woman been sent to a mental hospital yet?" "Mr. Isshiki! Today is a wedding banquet, you are really going too far, aren't you?" The lady complained, "And Mr. Liancheng, who came from afar, is also here, it's really rude!"

"That lady is Gotalan, the owner of the Pagoda Pavilion, and the one with the birthmark on her face is Isshiki Tora, the owner of the Colored Glass Pavilion."

Junya Kazemori introduced Fujino, and then pointed to the man in a black suit and round glasses who was silently cooking not far away and continued: "And the man who is eating is Kabuto, the owner of the Armor Hall. Li San.”

"The master of the Armor Hall..."

Fujino thought for a moment, "Then the bridesmaid just now, could it be his family?"

"That's right."

Fengji Jun also nodded: "He is the father of the bridesmaid Kabuto Kiriko, but then again, how did you figure it out..."

"When I came here, I met Miss Wuzi at the entrance of the Armor Hall."

Fujino replied: "I asked her to help me point the way."

"So this is ah……"

Fengji Fengji Chun also nodded: "But it's really strange. Kiriko is famous for not liking to talk to outsiders."

"Indeed, she didn't speak to us at that time, she was just giving us directions."

Fujino nodded.

Although pointed out a lonely.

The dinner party was just a formality. After they had had enough wine and food, they all went their separate ways to chat.

Everyone else in this village is the same, weird.

The only person who could talk to Fujino and his group was Uncle Kazamatsu from the Fushidōkan, who seemed a little enthusiastic towards outsiders.

After the dinner, Uncle Fengji took Fujino and his party to the balcony of the banquet hall.

"Is Ruoye in that church?"

Ooka Momiji looked towards the church not far away, and asked Kaze Matsuri doubtfully.

"Yes, that's the church. Speaking of which, that church was built a long time ago."

Uncle Fengji nodded: "The people who built this church were missionaries who came here from foreign countries to look for the "Apples of Eden". Speaking of which, it has a history of a hundred years."

“Golden apples of Eden?”

Hui Yuan Ai frowned in confusion, "The one in the Bible?"

"That's right, it's the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate in the Old Testament."

Feng Jie Chun also thought: "Actually speaking, no one knows what the [Golden Apple of Eden] they are looking for is yet."

"Maybe it's the golden apple."

Fujino said something meaningful.

Speaking of the golden apples in the Garden of Eden, he thought of the golden apples in Assassin's Creed.

That thing is a relic of the old civilization that can control people's thoughts.

Of course, just think about it, that kind of thing cannot exist even in the world of Ke Xue.

After recovering his thoughts, Fujino paused, and then continued to ask Fengji Junya: "By the way, what happened to the fire that the owner of the Ivy Hall mentioned just now?"

"That was twenty-seven years ago."

Uncle Fengji hesitated for a moment after hearing this, paused, and then continued: "The pastor and his wife who lived there at the time, and their seven children were burned to death by the fire, and the newlywed wife was going to stay there for one night. , which also comes from this. On the eve of the wedding, the bride must wear a wedding dress and confess her previous sins there..."

Haiyuan Ai couldn't help complaining: "It's really a strange tradition..."

"It's really weird."

Fujino nodded.

Fire, mummy.

I feel like my thoughts are getting clearer and clearer.

Could it be that the mummies in the secret room were the corpses of the pastor's family in that fire?

But before he could finish speaking, a rapid 'clang' sound suddenly interrupted his thoughts again.

"well?"

Uncle Fengji was obviously stunned: "Why is it ringing at this time?"

"Is this also your custom?"

Ooka Momiji couldn't help but asked curiously.

"no."

Uncle Fengji shook his head: "The church bells will only ring when someone dies..."

"dead?"

Fujino's right eyelid twitched slightly, and then, as he expected, a system prompt echoed in his ears: "A new detective job mission has been detected, please check it carefully!"

Fujino: "..."

Sure enough, someone was dead.
