Chapter 15 Plan
Chapter 15 Plan
There are too many puzzles, but fortunately, there is enough time.

Bai Yanliang remembered very clearly that the time limit for this task was seven days.

After seven days, even if you fail to solve all the puzzles, as long as you are still alive, you can return to the Mist Gathering safely.

"We must have missed a lot of key information. After lunch, let's continue to act separately while it's still light." Xu Zhian pinched the bridge of his nose and said a little tiredly.

"Wait, there's one more thing I haven't said." Feng Xinghan said quickly while looking at his notebook.

"According to Yingcheng Daily, Zhang Wen also published a message and asked for it to be announced tomorrow. I used some means to get the news in advance."

Feng Xinghan did not elaborate on how he got the information. He just looked at the notebook in his hand and said word by word: "Zhang Qiao."

He looked at the four people and closed his notebook. "The newspaper said that Zhang Wen requested that the information about this woman named Zhang Qiao be published tomorrow. She is also missing."

"Zhang Qiao? Who is she?"

Li Yuejun did not hide her doubts.

Not only her, but everyone else looked like this too.

Bai Yanliang thought for a moment and finally decided not to hide the news anymore.

So he raised his hand and said, "I know."

"you?"

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

Bai Yanliang nodded in confirmation and said again: "I know Zhang Qiao. She is Ding Lei's sister-in-law. She came to Yingcheng for her honeymoon with her new husband a few days ago, and then... she died."

"died?!"

Xu Zhian's eyes widened and he cried out in a hoarse voice.

"How do you know she is dead? Did you see her die with your own eyes..." Li Yuejun was about to continue speaking when she found Bai Yanliang looking at her.

"Remember the ghost you saw?"

Bai Yanliang's tone was calm and his attitude was peaceful, but Li Yuejun felt somewhat uncomfortable and oppressed, so she nodded subconsciously.

"What ghost?" The other three were a little confused about the conversation between Bai Yanliang and Li Yuejun. From what they said, it seemed that there was another ghost in this hotel?

"Zhang Qiao, she sleeps under my bed."

Bai Yanliang dropped another bomb, shocking almost everyone and making them gasp for breath.

"You...what did you say?!"

Bai Yanliang did not answer this meaningless question, but said to himself:

"Before that, I went back to the room where I woke up and wanted to take a closer look at her face. Then I made a note of her appearance and drew it in the form of a sketch. I also asked around in the hotel, and the waiter told me that her name was Zhang Qiao and she was Ding Lei's sister-in-law."

"Wait! You mean... there's a ghost under your bed?" Feng Xinghan, a strong man, asked with a trembling voice. He felt a chill running down his back when he asked this question.

"Yes, Miss Li has seen it too." Bai Yanliang nodded in confirmation, then looked at Li Yuejun.

Who knew that Li Yuejun was also staring at him intently at this moment, but her expression was full of disbelief and fear. "You...you went back to look for her? Just to see her face clearly?" Li Yuejun couldn't imagine what it was like to look for ghosts under his bed. Was he crazy?
Bai Yanliang nodded slightly, then looked away and looked at Jiang Li and the others: "These are not important. What's important is her identity. She is Zhang Qiao, but... she is dead, and now she has become a ghost hiding under my bed. So... what is Zhang Wen's intention in posting the missing person information? What is her relationship with Zhang Qiao? And... what role did Zhang Wen play in these two disappearances... no, to be precise, in one murder and one disappearance?"

It has to be said that Bai Yanliang's analysis makes sense, but that doesn't stop everyone from looking at him with increasingly weird eyes.

Bai Yanliang, who was lost in thought, obviously did not notice this. In fact, even if he had noticed it, he might not have cared.

"Okay, in that case, let's continue to act separately and meet here at 6pm. As for lunch, just make do with it. Time is of the essence." Feng Xinghan said while subconsciously looking at Bai Yanliang. Seeing that he didn't object, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and continued to say to everyone, "Boss Ding Lei hasn't shown up yet. According to the waiter, today is Sunday and Ding Lei will not come to work until tomorrow. He must be hiding a lot of secrets."

Everyone nodded, and finally calmed down some of the strange emotions that Bai Yanliang brought to everyone.

As everyone was gradually dispersing, Bai Yanliang suddenly called out to Li Yuejun.

"Ms. Li, please wait!"

Li Yuejun looked back at him with a little surprise. At the same time, Jiang Li, who was about to go with her, also looked at Bai Yanliang.

"If possible, can you join me this afternoon? I'm a newcomer and don't quite understand some things. What if I accidentally touch any taboos..." Bai Yanliang seemed a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look into the eyes of the two when he said this.

Li Yuejun was speechless.

Are you still afraid of touching taboos? Even ghosts dare to come forward to take a closer look, and now you are afraid?

But what Bai Yanliang said does make sense.

Although Li Yuejun was a woman who spoke in an unpleasant way and whose temper became increasingly perverse and bad, her nature was not bad. So, after hearing what Bai Yanliang said, she fell into an awkward dilemma.

Jiang Li is a woman, and she is also a woman. The two of them acting together was a tacit understanding formed before.

Should I leave Jiang Li behind and go with Bai Yanliang? Li Yuejun was in a dilemma.

In fact, although she had a great figure and good looks, she was not a popular woman. This was the first time Li Yuejun had encountered a situation like today.

"Miss Jiang, is this okay?"

While Li Yuejun was still hesitating, Bai Yanliang actually cast an inquiring look at Jiang Li, which was something Li Yuejun never expected.

Moreover, this was obviously beyond Jiang Li's expectations.

This androgynous woman said nothing and turned away, but her back seemed a little awkward...

Bai Yanliang watched Jiang Li walk away in silence, and finally smiled at Li Yuejun: "Miss Li, let's go."

Li Yuejun was not stupid. At this time, she finally understood Bai Yanliang's intention.

She nodded, feeling strange and curious. Just when she was about to ask something, Bai Yanliang spoke first.

"Ms. Li, have you and Miss Jiang always been together? Have you never separated?"

Li Yuejun was stunned, and then she thought carefully about Bai Yanliang's question. It seemed... they had indeed been acting together all the time.

Seeing her expression, Bai Yanliang suddenly smiled and said, "Come to think of it, when I first saw Miss Jiang Li, I mistook her for a man, but not this time. No matter her actions, she looks more like a carefree girl."

Li Yuejun's expression changed when he heard this. Sweat broke out from his forehead. He stopped and looked at Bai Yanliang: "I remember that when we were waiting for the elevator on the top floor, she went to the bathroom and came back soon."
