The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPC

In front of this row of weird embroidered shoes, everyone looks at me, I look at you, there is a kind of trance of going to the wrong studio. It was as if a murder suspense film was converted into a thriller suspense film with one click, and even the entire sky was covered with a funeral home filter.

"Sigh." The classmates in the front row shuddered and hiccupped.

"A lot, a lot, embroidered shoes!" His legs softened and he knelt down.

Ren Yifei stood on the side, and from his angle, he could see the backs of the two police officers and the sides of the onlookers. The onlookers included students, three tourists and the staff of the homestay, and their expressions were all different.

But they all stretched their necks to look at the embroidered shoes in the corner.

These shoes have long been soaked by the rain, and the fabric is stained with water, and the color is more intense. Hidden beneath the weeds, it's hard to spot.

"There are traces of use, not modern handicrafts." The old police officer squatted down to observe carefully, and the young police officer took pictures next to them. They found that these shoes had traces of use and were not used as decorations.

And looking at the fabric and the embroidery on it, it is not left over from ancient times, but modern products.

Modern used petite shoes? Doesn't that mean there are women with small feet still wearing it?

"There are still women with small feet in this era?" The students who looked far behind showed surprised expressions, "Before liberation, the country banned small feet, and the last group of people to bind feet are now old ladies in their 80s and 90s, and They also put their feet up. There are still people in our country who have their feet bound?"

"It's not just about foot binding." Saman put his arms around his chest. "It's a lot of people's foot binding."

"Ah?" A big question mark appeared on the faces of the group of students.

The illustrator looked at them with a puzzled look, and answered kindly: "Is it because the shoes are different sizes? Maybe people who have studied painting will be more sensitive. The styles of these shoes are not the same."

"Foot binding involves breaking the bones of the dorsum of the toes and wrapping them in the shape of a zongzi. This foot shape must be tightly wrapped in a foot wrap and walk in well-fitted shoes, so shoes for small feet must be tailored. These shoes are sized and The widths are not consistent, indicating that their owners are not the same person."

Ren Yifei in the crowd lifted his glasses and casually showed off the knowledge of the scholar.

"It seems that there are not only small-footed women in this era, but also more than one. Even, they are in this village."

Several of the classmates were in shock. They couldn't imagine that there were still people with bound feet in this era, and it was a group of them.

"Are those grandmothers?"

Ren Yifei shook his head: "Judging from the color and pattern of the embroidered shoes, the owners of the shoes are young women."

Instead, he remembered the old woman he met by the well yesterday. She also had small feet, and she didn't put her feet up, but she was still tightly wrapped.

Could the secret of this village have something to do with footbinding?

"Ah, what I said," the illustrator stroked his chin, "I wandered around this village for several days looking for the scenery, and occasionally I could hear the voices of people talking in the houses, including young women. But outside, Not a single young woman saw it."

"Are you too?" The photographer also patted his head. "This village is really a bit strange. If you take pictures outside the house, the other party will be very angry."

Ren Yifei watched the two performers with cold eyes. When they played double reeds, they generally talked about all kinds of anomalies in the village, and the expressions of the B&B staff in the crowd changed.

Afterwards, a group of students who did not know the truth joined their discussion, and the more they talked, the more they felt that something was wrong.

It is true that there is not a single young woman in this village, but they always thought it was normal to stay in the countryside, but now they feel that something is wrong.

"This village has a conservative culture, especially for women. Wouldn't they be reviving the vulgarity of footbinding in private?"

Several girls had goosebumps unbearably: "So disgusting, what age is this? Impossible, it's persecution, it's a crime, okay. Hey, this sister, you live here and know it well. , is there such a thing?"

The staff member who was asked about was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his feet with a smile: "Look at my big feet, where is there such a thing?"

When everyone saw it, it was indeed a standard heaven, both of them were, and they laughed and took the previous discussions as conjectures.

"I just said, how can there be such a perverted thing? This is still a tourist area. If there is such a thing, it will be discovered long ago."

"Leave those who have their feet bound and not bound. Why did that person put such a row of small shoes here? Does He Xiangxue's disappearance have anything to do with the small shoes?" The classmates standing behind rubbed their arms, feeling panicked.

These brightly colored embroidered booties are standard in many horror films. Like some kind of 'ghost bride', 'ghost marriage', and now this appearance is still in a row...

"It didn't rain for a long time yesterday. In such a short time, this mysterious man is sneaking in, stealing people, and putting on shoes. Is there enough time? We won't be targeted by something evil, right?"

"Nonsense, how can there be any evil, don't alarmist here, it's all superstition!" The speaker is also afraid, but he still needs to be firm in materialism.

"It's not an evil thing, it's a human being." Ren Yifei looked at the soaked embroidered shoes in the corner, "These shoes are completely soaked, which means that they were put down before the rain stopped. Before the rain stops, there is no such thing as only rain. time.

"The back door is locked and unoccupied all the year round. The infiltrator took advantage of this. He put these shoes away in advance, just waiting for us to find out now. And..."

"And what?" Seeing that Ren Yifei was right, the others forgot that he was someone they didn't like, and asked him.

"Furthermore, the person who sneaked in may not necessarily be someone other than the homestay. It may also be one of us who went back to the room as if nothing had happened after doing these things. Except for those who have a clear alibi, everyone else is suspect."

'Everyone else' shuddered in unison, and a few people glanced at Ren Yifei vaguely.

"Put these shoes away." The old police officer stood up, he had heard Ren Yifei's analysis, and agreed with them in his heart.

However, that doesn't mean he isn't suspect. There are many kinds of crimes, in addition to doing it yourself, you can also choose to control others.

"Did you find anything else?" the old policeman asked the little policeman, but the little policeman just shook his head.

If the infiltrator was someone from the B&B, 'he' would definitely come back. But now there are no other traces, it can only show that this person is not the person in the homestay, or that 'he' came back before the rain ended.

The old policeman prefers that this person is still in the homestay, and there is no need for the villagers to take such risks.

But the rain at 3 o'clock was also a shower, and it only fell for more than an hour. In this time to complete everything, the place where the missing students were placed should not be too far from here.

However, most people in this village live far away from here, and there is no suitable place.

This homestay was renovated from the house of a squire and clan chief in the old days, and it was originally far away from other villagers.

Speaking of which, someone died here, the police also appeared, the bridge was blown up, and the village chief and others had already come to him in an ordinary village. However, Wutong Village was completely silent, so I could hold my breath.

"This village is not big, but there are a lot of secrets." The old police officer understood something, but he didn't startle the snake, he just asked the disciples to put away their shoes, and they went back to the homestay.

The matter of Chi Bo has not been sorted out, and now there is the case of He Xiangxue's disappearance, and then this case involves a more secret criminal incident.

With a keen "police sense of smell", the old police officer expected that the things behind the embroidered shoes would not be simple. It may involve mass crimes against women.

The seasoned old police officer also felt troublesome at the moment.

He made several calls to discuss countermeasures with the headquarters. The opinion over there is to bring students and tourists out first, and take the long view.

They also told the old police officer that one of the tourists was their comrade who came for this embroidered shoe.

Ten days ago, the city headquarters received a report from the masses that there were social gangs and forced prostitution of women. Then they received a package containing a pair of embroidered shoes and a real-name report letter.

After that, a comrade was sent from above to investigate secretly.

But they don't know who this comrade is, they only know that 'he' is codenamed 'artist'.

The old police officer took off his hat with a sigh, and stroked the few remaining hairs he had left: "I'm about to retire at the end of my life. I didn't expect to encounter such a complicated case."

The three incidents and two groups of people all collided, saying that it was designed by someone, and that too much luck was needed.

After getting the clear instructions from the superior, the old policeman gathered all the tourists and students, and asked them to stay in their own houses, at most, they could go to the kitchen when they were eating, until the bridge deck was repaired and the police came.

Then they can move their positions and get out of here.

"When will the bridge deck be repaired?"

"If there is no accident, we will be able to pass in the afternoon." The little policeman glanced at his master, and seeing that the master did not stop him, he told others about the incident, "Because it was a murder case, the superiors gave special approval and let them be within one day. Repair the gap.”

"What about the missing He Xiangxue? The first twenty-four hours is the best time for rescue. Once the time is too long, the consequences will be disastrous." Someone remembered the missing He Xiangxue.

Chi Bo's death has cast a shadow over their graduation trip. If He Xiangxue goes missing again, this graduation trip will really be 'forever unforgettable'.

"I have applied for a search warrant, and I will conduct a thorough investigation of the homestay today." The old police officer looked around for a week, "Please cooperate."

The student caught by those sharp eyes felt a chill for no apparent reason. He asked with a trembling voice, "What do you mean... He Xiangxue is actually still in this B&B, just hiding it? It's like cellars, underground pipes, building walls... …”

"Cough," the old policeman couldn't help laughing, "it might be too late to build the wall."

As a member of the graduation tour group, Ren Yifei will also be restricted from going out and may have his luggage checked, but his expression has not changed.

If it wasn't for his hands, it wouldn't be his turn. The only pity is that he doesn't seem to be able to do anything to other people.

Chi Bo and He Xiangxue had accidents one after another. If there is still someone who should be punished, it would be Jiang Min who deliberately disclosed the news, a classmate who made a fool of himself, and Teacher Wang who neglected his duty.

However, these people are doing evil indirectly. If they all die, things will be too big, and it will be detrimental to the future of the original owner.

He looked at Jiang Min, who was sitting there crying while others comforted her. She was crowded out by the crowd yesterday, but today she has been accepted by the girl group.

It was He Xiangxue who was taken away, but she could turn herself into a 'victim', show weakness, and then successfully clean up.

Sometimes Ren Yifei thinks Jiang Min is a very powerful girl. She has high emotional intelligence and low moral bottom line. She is a natural political animal and a "successful" businessman, and she knows how to make profits for herself.

This kind of person is self-serving and unlikable, but can often get along well in the complex and hypocritical adult society.

In the Han Feifei incident, Jiang Min, as a bystander and participant, knew exactly what He Xiangxue did to Han Feifei, but she did not stop or remind Han Feifei. Therefore, Ren Yifei said that her moral bottom line is low, and she is also realistic and selfish.

Such a helpless person who can't afford to be premature, if there is no benefit, he will not choose to disclose Han Feifei's pregnancy to Chi Bo. What is the benefit for her?
