Chapter 280: I Have Been Missing for a Few Days
"With the light, she can finally have a good sleep."
A smile finally appeared on her face, making her look less lifeless.
The Xiao Ni she was talking about should be the little girl who had been holding her clothes tightly and following her.
The little girl's face was as white as paper, and her expression was extremely tired, as if she had just experienced a nightmare. Her eyes were full of fear and anxiety. She always held the corner of her clothes tightly, and dared not look at others or speak.
She patted the little girl's back gently, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Ni, this uncle will help us fix the light soon. With the light, you won't be so scared."
She took Zhang Lin and the others to the second floor.
There are three guest rooms here, "The guest rooms here are empty, and no one usually lives there. There may be a little dust."
She said a little embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. It's good to have a place to live. If we hadn't met you, we would probably have to sleep outdoors." Zhang Lin said with gratitude.
Du Jiashi also echoed: "Yes, yes, it's going to rain today. If we stay outside for a night, this weather is bad enough."
There was a trace of fear on his face, as if he was still a little scared of that experience.
The two had good acting skills and successfully deceived the mother and daughter.
"Alas, it's a good thing you found this place. If you stay outside for a night in this weather, you will be frozen."
After arranging the room, Zhang Lin went to see the broken light to see if it could be fixed.
Du Jiashi went to help.
Xu Rou talked to the mother calmly.
Yang Yu and Yin Nu, who were younger, approached the little girl curiously.
"Your name is Xiao Ni, right?"
"How old are you?"
"Would you like to play checkers with us?"
The little girl huddled behind her mother, seeming a little shy.
The mother touched her head, "Don't be afraid, the brothers and sisters are not bad people, if you want to play, go and play with them for a while."
The little girl nodded, and finally walked out from behind her.
Yin Nu held a set of checkers in her hand, which was prepared before entering the dungeon.
Because they knew there was a little girl in the dungeon, they also prepared many things to please the little girl, hoping to get some clues from her.
Of course, it is easier to get words from children than adults who are more wary.
Xu Rou kept talking to her mother about family matters.
And the little girl was led by their hands to the living room downstairs.
Yin Nu put the checkers on the table, "Do you know how to play checkers? Do you need me to teach you?"
Xiao Ni shook her head and whispered, "I can play."
Yang Yu said, "Then you can choose a color you like first."
Yin Nu chose blue.
Xiao Ni chose red.
Yang Yu chose cyan.
Yin Nu started first, and then went down clockwise, Xiao Ni was the second, and Yang Yu was the third.
Xiao Ni looked only seven or eight years old, but she was very quick-witted when playing checkers.
At first, Yin Nu and Yang Yu wanted to hold back, but later, seeing that Xiao Ni was playing well, they let go and stopped holding back.
In the end, it was Yang Yu who had all the chess pieces on the other side.
The second person to arrive was Xiao Ni.
Yin Nu was the third.
Yin Nu: "Xiao Ni is so amazing, right? I am not your opponent."
Xiao Ni pursed her lips and smiled happily, "Because my mother taught me before."
Yang Yu looked at her.
Then the two continued to play checkers with her.
After a few games, Yang Yu was always the first, and Xiao Ni and Yin Nu won and lost the second and third place.
Yang Yu's IQ was originally very high, so it was understandable that the two of them could not beat him.
But Yin Nu was much older than Xiao Ni, and Xiao Ni could occasionally beat her, which showed that Xiao Ni's IQ was also very high, at least compared to other children of this age, her thinking ability was very strong.
After playing a few more games, the light above the head flickered and lit up. It seemed that Zhang Lin and his team had fixed the light.
When the light came on, it illuminated the entire living room, dispelling a trace of uneasiness brought by the darkness.
Xiaoni's face didn't look so pale anymore, and she smiled happily.
Xiaoni's mother came down and was very relieved to see Xiaoni smiling so happily. "Thank you for playing with Xiaoni for so long. This child has been depressed since... that time."
She touched Xiaoni's hair, and her expression was very complicated, with a little guilt and relief.
Yang Yu quickly shook his hand, "No, we had a lot of fun too. Xiao Ni is very smart."
Yin nodded: "Yes, Xiao Ni is very good at playing checkers. It's hard for me to beat her."
"Really?" She had tears in her eyes, but she obviously didn't want to cry in front of outsiders, so she wiped her tears and said, "It's getting late. Xiao Ni should take a shower and go to bed. Play with her brother and sister tomorrow, okay?"
Although Xiao Ni had a lot of fun, she was very obedient and forgot the time when playing with other willful children.
She agreed quickly.
"There is a bathroom on the third floor. You can take a shower there."
After that, she took Xiao Ni upstairs.
After the two disappeared on the stairs.
Yang Yu looked at Yin.
"What's it like?"
Yin: "She is very smart."
Xiao Ni looked like an introverted, timid, unconfident, and even a little autistic child.
However, after playing these games, they found that Xiao Ni was very smart and had no problem communicating.
"Then she must know something."
Yin Nu: "Leave her to me, girls get along better."
Yang Yu made a gesture of invitation.
Zhang Lin and Du Jiashi came down from upstairs, "A mouse died inside, causing a short circuit, and it stinks."
"Looking at this situation, it is estimated that it has been dead for a few days."
"There is a spare circuit at home, which means that the male owner knows how to repair these things."
"Does that mean that the male owner has disappeared for a few days?"
"It may be more than a few days."
"Where is Sister Xu?"
"She went in to look for the clue while they were not in the master bedroom."
The investigation team once found clues related to the "disappeared father" in the master bedroom, but it should be noted that they cannot enter the master bedroom when the hostess is in the room, and they must not be discovered by her.
Otherwise, they will be driven out. Even if they fail to conquer the copy this time, they can only meet the ordinary clearance conditions.
Now is a good time.
The few people returned to the room and waited for Xu Rou to come back.
After a while, Xu Rou hurried in and closed the door.
She took out her phone and opened the album, which showed the clues she had taken.
The moment others saw the picture, they heard the system's voice.
"Ding! You found some clues."
