Chapter 25 The Rope

Gao Ying's footsteps lingered at the door. Now, he had to make a decision, whether to go in or continue to stand at the door and observe.

(There must be a relatively safe way to get the answer, or at least a chance for the examinee to fill in the answer. But the problem is that this is a multiple-choice question. Filling in less or more answers will not matter.

Not really the correct answer.)

You know, ordinary multiple choice questions can still be eliminated. However, there are so many possible permutations and combinations for multiple choice questions. The probability that the candidate will try all the combinations before the ghost kills him is almost negligible.

Regardless. He has seen it with his own eyes. Frankly speaking, there are not many opportunities to choose. If you choose to do this question, you are experiencing life and death.

Gao Ying began to analyze these four options...

Was the man... barefoot or wearing shoes... faced the door when he hanged... was he still in the house...

From the perspective of the door of the room, you can hardly see any furniture. If you see clothes and shoes when you enter the house, you may be able to make a preliminary judgment. Of course, if there are couples, father and daughter, mother and son living in the house,

With clothes from both sides, it is difficult to draw a conclusion. Although hanging is a common way for women to commit suicide, there are also many men who use this method to commit suicide.

As for going barefoot or wearing shoes, barefoot can make the sound softer indoors. However, since the deceased has decided to give up life, why should he (she) care about whether to wear shoes or not. If you enter the room, you can still go to see

Check whether there are shoe prints on the chair. Although the chair is very close to the door, you can never see it by standing at the door with the current moonlight.

When hanging, were you facing the door? There is really no clue on this point. Who knows whether you were facing the door or with your back to the door? The last question is obvious. It is almost impossible to know without entering the room.

, unless this ghost will appear at the door for them to see clearly with their own eyes. But Gao Ying doesn't think that a multiple-choice question will be that easy.

At this moment, Gao Ying suddenly noticed the chair that fell at the door and thought of something very important!

Yes...sound...

If we talk about suicide, it is obvious that the purpose of the villager who committed suicide... is because he does not want to die in the hands of ghosts, but hopes to take his own life. However, the process of hanging is not instantaneous.

After falling, it will inevitably make a loud sound. If the villagers don't mind whether they die in the hands of ghosts, they can let the ghosts kill them by shouting. Then... it is obviously not appropriate to choose hanging as a suicide method.

reasonable.

However, the title clearly states that the villagers "hanged themselves". Therefore, it should not be a ghost who killed the villagers and then pretended to commit suicide. So, if it was really a suicide, why should such an obvious method be adopted?

What about the means to make a loud noise?

This is indeed unreasonable, but it seems that it is not directly related to the four options under the question. Even if you come up with the answer to this question, there is no way to correspond to any of the options. But Gao Ying's consciousness

Yes, there may be some connection between them.

(wait wait wait……)

At this time, Gao Ying discovered something.

That is, the distance between the chair that fell on the ground and the door...

(Yes! Although the chair has fallen to the ground now, if the villager who hanged himself was facing the door and then kicked the chair towards the door, and the back of the chair happened to be leaning against the door, as long as the force is controlled well

... will not make a sound. And when we first passed by this house, the door was closed! Yes, when the villagers hanged themselves, they were facing the door! Therefore, C cannot be selected! And he paid attention to that

The chair is becoming more and more certain of his judgment. The current chair is obviously because the chair fell to the ground during the process of opening the door. The current position where the chair fell and the direction of the back of the chair are completely consistent with his calculation!

(One option has been eliminated...)

In fact, Gao Ying is not without ideas regarding gender. Judging from the height of the chair and the beam, the villager who committed suicide should not be very tall, so it is possible that he is a woman. However, if the other person is the same as Hou Mingbo,

If you are a short man, or a minor, then the judgment value of height is quite low. However, at present, the villagers who hang themselves may be much taller with bare feet. If they kick the back of the chair with shoes on, the sound may be louder.

Higher. However, there is no conclusive evidence on these points. Especially the last point... is even more of a headache.

(What a shame, it would be nice if this was a single-choice question, so I could answer it now. But, this is a multiple-choice question...)

However, after all, one option has been eliminated, which made Gao Ying feel a little more excited. Then, he continued to observe the scenes that could be observed from the door to a limited extent. Seeing his expression changing, Ji Yixuan, Hou Mingbo, Shen Junhao and others

No one spoke, letting Gao Ying think slowly. At the same time, Ji Yixuan asked Hou Mingbo and Shen Junhao to pay attention to the positions behind them and in all directions.

He has looked through the gaps between his fingers, and he has looked through all the gaps between his fingers, and he has not seen any ghosts. However, can he really deduce all the options within the limited viewing angle at the door?

But at this moment, unlike Gao Ying, Ji Yixuan's perspective was always staring at the rope loop. He did not think of inferring so many results from the position of the chair like Gao Ying did. He always felt that the rope loop seemed to have some

Something is wrong. And this point made Ji Yixuan feel that something was wrong.

(Strange...this rope loop seems...but looking at Gao Ying's expression just now, he seemed to have thought of something.)

Although Ji Yixuan has only known Gao Ying for a short time, he has a strange tacit understanding of Gao Ying. Gao Ying must have thought of something, but unfortunately, because they cannot cheat, this also prevents them from communicating on this issue.

.

At the same time, he wanted to talk about what Yuan Ping and his second uncle wrote on the note. At that time, Yuan Ping once wrote that he heard some strange sounds. In this village, it is impossible for humans to deliberately make

The voice came, and then Yuan Ping wrote on the paper to his second uncle... That voice was not outside...

(The ghost that appears this time can at least be hidden in sight of the naked eye. This is certain. Ghosts can appear in people's sight, or they can choose not to appear...is that right?)

Recalling the footprints made of blood in that hut, Ji Yixuan now shudders. The ghost was once so close to him! However, even knowing this, he still saved Gao Ying without thinking. What he did at that time

, is it because Gao Ying's intelligence may be able to help him, or is it because... he feels that saving a person's life can make his own bleak life shine? However, what is certain is that even if he can turn back time,

, even if he knew that doing so might lead to the killing of ghosts, he would still save Gao Ying.

Everyone is afraid of death. However, for Ji Yixuan, death is not the thing he fears most in this world. Being hated, cursed, and directly denied the meaning of one's life is far more terrifying than death. Human nature

The darkness is far more terrifying than the ghosts.

"Gao Ying..." Ji Yixuan pulled Gao Ying's sleeves and lowered his voice and said, "I feel something is wrong..."

"Something's wrong? What's... wrong?"

"Look...that rope loop, is it..."

At this moment, the hanging rope loop was suddenly thrown in the air towards Gao Ying!

Ji Yixuan, who had been on guard for a long time, suddenly grabbed Gao Ying's hand and asked him to avoid the rope loop that came unexpectedly!

Then, the rope loop directly grabbed Hou Mingbo's neck from behind! Then, the short Hou Mingbo was pulled into the room!

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Faced with the threat of death, Hou Mingbo naturally could no longer care about the rules of silence. His throat kept making unexplained sounds and he struggled desperately!
