Chapter 164: The Unspeakable Secret (2)
When Li Yan and Su Mian saw this, they also ran out with Fang Yuan, and at this time, there were only me and Shen Tufan in the room.
I looked at Shen Tufan and told him that this matter can't be hidden, if we want to know how the Wind Steward died, we must explain who you are, who the owner of this ancient castle is, and why the Wind Steward brought those fleeing murderers and people who wanted to commit suicide into this secret room to kill them one by one, and how did the Wind Steward die.
The manner in which the Steward died reminded me of a painting, a picture of a man hanging a child from the ceiling and beating him, and before I saw it, another man had come to the gallery and rummaged through the cabinet where the painting was hidden.
What was he rummaging for?
I glanced at Shen Tufan suspiciously, and the latter sighed even more, saying that he originally wanted to ...... this secret Hidden for a lifetime, if it weren't for our visit, if it weren't for Mr. Feng's death, this secret, he might have taken it to the coffin.
"Actually, that gentleman is the wind housekeeper......" Shen Tufan's words were very simple, and I was very shocked, the wind housekeeper is that gentleman...... In other words, that is, as Shen Tu said, the gentleman we were waiting for no longer exists, and even if we find the murderer of the Wind Butler, we will not be able to escape from here.
Shen Tu said that he came here nineteen years ago, grew up with that gentleman, and that there were sixteen brothers, and each of them hated that gentleman to the core.
I asked him why, and the latter pursed his lips, and his eyes were inexplicably filled with tears.
"Since the age of five, that gentleman taught us the skills of survival in the wild, and then, for three whole years, sixteen of our brothers and sisters were abandoned by him to fend for themselves in this forest full of blood and pain, in fact, at the beginning, there were thirty-six of them, but in those three years, only sixteen of them survived, and the rest were either killed by murderers who escaped here, or starved to death, I even saw a girl, bitten by three poisonous snakes, slowly, her body began to Jiang Ying, that immature face, also corroded by the time in this purgatory, you have not experienced this, once you have experienced it, you will know, how much we want him to die. ”
When he said these words, the expression on Shen Tu's face could already be described as gritting his teeth, to be honest, I really hadn't experienced this, and I didn't understand the sadness and pain of Shen Tu and the others, but in this forest full of snakes, insects, plague, and corpses that changed unchanged, I can imagine what kind of mentality those children had survived at that time.
"You would never have imagined that in order to prevent us from divulging the secrets of this castle, he even gave us psychological counseling, and poisoned the children who were cheerful, laughing, and talking, and since then, among the sixteen of us, there has been no laughter, no more ......."
"In that case, why do you want to help him?" I asked slowly, lying on the bed and looking at Shen Tufan.
At this time, a miserable smile appeared on Shen Tufan's face, and he told me with tears in his eyes, because what he wanted to do was the same as what they were going to do, but unlike that gentleman, they only killed the guilty, while that gentleman killed their companions, and in their eyes, those people were innocent......
"So, we have assassinated this man several times, but without success, and the scene in that painting, which has been experienced by each of us, is the only oil painting that does not come from the brush of that gentleman, and if he is still alive, I think he must be the one who wants to kill that gentleman the most. ”
"Who is he?" I asked.
The latter glanced at me and said that it was a child named Xie Wenhao, who was older than us back then, so they often called him brother, and he also took care of them like a big brother, taking care of them all the time, but one day, he told Shentu that he wanted to leave here and return to his original life.
Shen Tu said, those eyes looked directly at the window next to me, and said slowly: " That night, he was from this room, slowly climbed down, just when we all thought he had escaped safely, the wind steward took him, returned to us, and hung him in front of all of us, the whip stained with chili pepper water on Xie Wenhao's body again and again, after this incident passed, he was locked in that gallery, with Mr. Feng's brush, finished the painting, that night, I secretly brought him food, but I never thought that he actually took that paintbrush, straight into his temple......”
"Are you sure he's dead?" I asked, looking at Shen Tu.
The latter nodded approvingly, and said yes to me, and then he walked around to the window of my room, and said slowly: "At that time, if I had gone earlier, perhaps, the writer would not have died." ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "This ...... It's not your fault. ”
At this time, Li Yan rushed into my room and shouted at me that he was dead again.
Shen Tu and I glanced at each other, and then followed Li Yan and walked out of the ancient castle quickly, and walked around to two hundred meters behind the ancient castle.
I saw a woman, tied to a towering tree, her blood dripping drop by drop.
Shen Tu's face changed suddenly, and he yelled at the woman loudly, "Xiao Hong......"
After saying this, Shen Tu was stunned and raised his legs, and climbed directly onto this tree, and two minutes later, the corpse was slammed down by him.
"Who is this?" I asked, looking at the corpse in front of me, frowning.
I saw Shen Tu standing in front of this corpse, his hands clenching his fists tightly, gritting his teeth and saying, "She...... It's my sister, the youngest of sixteen of us, why...... Why did she die here, damn, who the hell is Lao Tzu going to cut you with a thousand knives......"
Shen Tu took out his dagger violently and slashed it frantically in front of the big tree on the side, and all of this was silently watched by Fang Yuan.
I slowly crouched down and glanced at the female corpse, where a paintbrush had been inserted into her chest, and it happened to be in the heart.
The murderer's modus operandi was very fast, the deceased was almost killed with one blow, fortunately, this woman should not have any pain before she died, but unfortunately, this woman died, and she still died blindly.
I fumbled around her body, and finally found a letter signed by Xiao Hong in the woman's left pocket.
The letter is signed by the wind steward, I read the content of this letter, the wind steward said in the letter, he found out that he had found out the advanced stage of stomach cancer, and he was afraid that he would not be able to see 16 of them before he died, so he hoped that he would meet them before he died, and the last line was written that if you don't want to know who your biological parents are, then you can not come or something like that.
Shen Tu said that the sixteen of them are all orphans, since they are orphans, what they are most eager for is of course to know who their biological parents are.
"Why, why, Xiao Hong...... Xiao Hong's skills are very good, why is this ......happening" Shen Tu's tears finally flowed, to be honest, I really can't believe it, is this still the demon in my brain?
Immediately after, Fang Yuan said softly: "Look at the wound, the paintbrush should be inserted from the back to the front, steady and ruthless, this girl should not suffer too much, moreover, her body is still hot, I believe that the time of death should not exceed fifteen minutes." ”
As soon as these words came out, all of us were shocked, fifteen minutes...... It's been more than an hour since I woke up, and during this time, almost all of us are together, how can it be......
"Anyway, let's carry the corpse back first, Li Yan and I will go and find the way first, what if we blind cats run into dead rats?" Fang Yuan said slowly to all of us.
Shen Tu pursed his lips, handed the dagger and flashlight on his body to Fang Yuan, and told Fang Yuan that next to those traps, he left a red cross mark, and when he saw those marks, he would make a detour, if he couldn't come back, he would set fire to this forest, and when he saw smoke, he would come to pick them up.
The latter looked at Shen Tu suspiciously, didn't say much, only said thank you, and then turned around with Li Yan and walked into this dense jungle.
And I, Shen Tu and Su Mian, carried Xiao Hong's body back to the secret room of the ancient castle first.
"Now you can always tell me what the reason these people died here?Rest assured, Su Mian won't tell anyone else about our conversation, right, Su Mian?" I said slowly, standing in the middle of the castle and facing Su Mian.
The latter nodded, and did not speak.
Shen Tu glanced at me, sighed again, and said: "Everyone here died at the hands of the wind steward, the reason is very simple, there are very few people who know that the ancient castle exists in this forest, except for the sixteen of us, there may only be the wind steward himself, just imagine, there are still living people in this jungle, and even this living person has built an ancient castle in this jungle, if this is known to the outside world, the mystery of this jungle will not be self-defeating?" And most of these people are murderers and people who want to kill themselves but regret it, according to the words of the wind steward, he is just helping them. ”
"Your trespass was an accident, and I don't understand why the Wind Steward would leave you and stay in this castle for one night, and according to his style, anyone who enters the castle will not live for more than an hour. ”
I pursed my lips and asked softly, "This is the secret of this castle?"
"This piece of forest is almost controlled by the wind steward, don't look at this forest mysterious, the wind steward has installed surveillance cameras in many places, once someone breaks in, he can ...... very accurately"
Speaking of which, Shen Tu was stunned, and I was also stunned, the surveillance camera ......
Yes, it is impossible for the murderer to squat in place and wait for Xiao Hong's arrival, because this jungle is very large, so large that there are very likely people to come from all directions, so the only way to determine Xiao Hong's driving location is the camera.
"Come with me. As he spoke, Shen Tu ran straight towards the stairs, and Su Mian and I followed.
