Chapter 162: The Scourge of the Dungeon
This is something I've always wondered about, why did this Shen Tufan help me so much, from the first case to the last case, he was almost present in every case, although, he appeared for a very short time, but the information he provided to me was the key to solving the case, why, a person with such a logical thinking ability would actually be a member of the demon organization?
In my eyes, this Shen Tufan is not a bad person in the sense, at least, what he does is something that most ordinary people recognize, they help those dead to get justice, what they can gain, often have to lose something, when they bewitch those people's hearts, let the fire of hatred burn to the top, what they need to pay is often their lives, yes, kill people and pay for their lives, this is their organization's consistent belief, Shen Tufan is no exception.
The latter smiled and said that in his eyes, I was an unqualified policeman.
I was slightly stunned and asked him why.
Shen Tufan sighed and said slowly: "People, living in this world, there will be some desires, money, women, and rights more or less, but you are different, you have no desire for money, women, and power, but this does not mean that you have no desires, your desires are family reunions, isn't this the purpose of your coming to this third-tier city? You came to the police force with a purpose, strictly speaking, you are not a real policeman, just imagine, if you find your father, will you still be a policeman?"
Hearing this, my eyebrows furrowed slightly, yes, if I found my dad, would I still be a policeman?
Growing up, I knew what I wanted, my biggest dream was to find my father, the family reunion, even if he died, I also wanted to have a place to worship him, I didn't want my mother to wear the flowers every day, and I didn't want to open my mother's room every night and see her holding my father's pistol and sobbing silently.
Because of my dad's business, my mom wears a different mask on her face every day, I don't want to, I don't want to.
So, despite my grandfather's opposition, I applied for the police academy, and after graduating, I recommended myself and hoped that my mentor would assign me to this city.
Isn't all this just to find my dad?
But what about after finding my dad?
Thinking of this, I shook my head slowly, and said a word in front of Shen Tufan.
The latter was stunned, as if he wondered why I would say this without saying such a word.
I looked up at Shen Tufan and said slowly: " I want to be like my dad, it doesn't matter if the criminal police are not criminal police, when I meet a demon like you, I know that my existence is to arrest you, everyone has the right to live, no one can be deprived, you, and those murderers, no one can, in this world, as long as there is the existence of our police, your purpose can never be achieved perfectly, Shen Tufan, if I find evidence of your murder, I will also take you back to the police station and accept the punishment of the lawγ β
"Cut, I said Fang Yi, the big truth is still that you will say Ang. Shen Tufan gave me a blank look, and then picked up the quilt on my bed and wrapped it around his body.
I glanced at him and didn't say anything more.
"Oh yes, there's a rule inside this castle, you must not walk around inside the castle at six o'clock in the evening, because it's much more dangerous here than outside. Shen Tufan was lying on the bed, and when he saw that I was going to press the doorknob, he immediately instructed me.
"Well, at half-past five, I'll go to the bathroom, can I always do it?"
The latter didn't say anything more, just gave me another blank look, rolled over on my side, and fell asleep.
After opening the door, I came directly to the gallery where Shen Tufan had just taken me, this gallery was not small, but it was full of their "achievements" I counted, there were about hundreds of paintings here, I heard Shen Tufan say that these paintings were painted by the gentleman in recognition of them, so they are very commemorative.
Of course, I didn't come to this gallery because I wanted to see the source of these evils, but because I wanted to know what the secret room in this gallery contained.
When the butler came out of this cabinet, to be honest, I was really startled, but when he opened the door, I accidentally skimmed the wall behind him that was not tightly closed, so I was sure that there should be a secret room behind this cabinet.
Thinking of this, I walked over to the row of cabinets, only to find that they had been locked from the outside.
At this time, a slight smile rose at the corner of my mouth, just this kind of lock, you give me 10,000, and it will all be opened for you in one day.
I looked around the gallery for a while, and finally found a paper clip in the corner of the gallery.
I straightened the paperclip and slowly inserted it into the keyhole of the lock, and three seconds later, I heard a crunch and the lock was opened.
I smiled and reached out to push the door open, but then I heard footsteps, and in my panic, I had to lock the lock back to the cabinet, and I was hiding behind the last row of cabinets in the gallery.
After a while, the door was slowly opened, and a slow footstep came towards me, my eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and when this person approached me, I did not smell the smell of Chinese herbs, that is, the person who came, not the wind steward.
But Shentu said that apart from that gentleman, the only living person here is the wind steward.
Since this person is not a wind steward, then this person must be the gentleman.
After all, when he walked to the cabinet in front of me, with a creak, the door of the cabinet in front of me was slowly opened, and then he seemed to find something in the cabinet.
Suddenly, there was a grunt coming from the cabinet, and the door was slowly closed with a muffled grunt, and then, with a turn of his face, he walked out of the gallery door.
After the man left, I glanced at the cabinet in front of me, which had been re-locked, and when I opened it, I found that inside the cabinet was a picture of a little boy being hung and beaten by a man in his forties and fifties.
But unlike these paintings outside, I didn't find any photos of the crime scene in this cabinet.
"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a strong smell of Chinese medicine suddenly came from behind me.
It's over, it's the wind housekeeper, Nima, when I just passed by his room, I saw that the lights in his room were turned off, and I thought he had already slept, but I didn't expect that this old man actually appeared at the door of this room at this time.
I turned around slowly, and said to the wind steward with a smile on my face: "I can't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk, and before I knew it, I came here, and I was called away by you before I finished reading the paintings here, so I thought I would come in and have a look, and when I came in, I saw that the door of this cabinet was opened, no, I was about to look at this painting, and you came." β
The wind steward frowned slightly, glanced at the cabinet behind me, hesitated for a while, and finally took me back to my own room, and told me not to come out again, and when the gentleman came back tomorrow, he would naturally help me introduce him, and even with some threats in his words, before leaving, he turned around and told me that he didn't want such a good young man to die like this.
I don't think Shen Tufan and this wind steward are lying to me, but what is in this ancient castle? I haven't seen any danger so far, people are like this, without seeing any signs of danger, I always feel that this is not a problem, and I was the same at that time.
In this way, under the gaze of the wind housekeeper, I returned to the room, Shen Tufan was still asleep on the bed, and I, looking at the slowly setting sun outside the window, was also infinitely emotional.
If I keep looking like this, when will I find my dad?
Still, because of what I did just now, the Wind Steward will definitely monitor my every move, so as soon as I walk out of this room tonight, the Wind Steward's bloodshot eyes will stare at me.
I glanced at Shen Tu, who was still asleep next to me, and shook my head, this person is too careless, right?
In this way, I watched every move outside the window all night, but outside the window except for those dense forests, but I couldn't see anything, to be honest, I was a little discouraged, I knew that my dad had been here, but I didn't have a clue, I couldn't ask the wind housekeeper, did my dad ever come here?
Since my dad said that this is a very important thing, there may be some secret hidden in this ancient castle.
At about three o'clock in the morning, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I got up and pushed open the door of the gallery, and before I came, I was sure that there was no movement in the butler's bedroom.
I locked the door of the gallery as if no one had ever been there, then opened the lock in front of the cabinet with my bare hands and reached open the door behind it.
It's pitch black inside, and there's not even a little fire, and I'm in a hurry when I just came out, and I didn't even bring anything with my phone, but I'm out, how can I go back again?
Thinking of this, I felt the darkness and walked down the stairs outside the secret room.
This staircase is very narrow, I don't even know when it will end, I only know that I walked for more than five minutes just walking on this staircase, but it was like it was endless, there was no light, I was in this staircase, like a blind man.
I don't know how long I walked before I stepped on the ground, I kept touching the wall next to me, and it was so smooth that it was like my hand could slip off the wall by accident.
When I reached the parallel ground, I took two steps forward, but just as I wanted to continue walking, there was a bang, and I tripped directly on the ground by a soft thing, and at this time, my hand happened to touch a hard thing, and when I took it, it turned out to be a flashlight.
When I turned on the flashlight, everything here appeared in front of me, and it brought me not excitement, but horror and shock.
