Chapter 30: The Unspeakable Hidden of Asai
When the lights came on again in the Sunset Villa, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu cautiously walked out of the basement, and then they cautiously closed all the curtains in the room.
Fortunately, the murderer used a bow and arrow instead of a deadly thing like a firearm, so as long as everyone closes the doors and windows in the house, then the lethality of the bow and arrow can be greatly reduced, at least, everyone does not have to worry about the murderer sneaking up from outside the house.
With a burst of noise downstairs, the guests who were originally hidden on the second floor also tried to come out of the room, and when they finally determined that the two people downstairs were Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu, everyone's courage gradually increased.
"Everyone, please help me close all the windows and the banquet hall on the second floor, please find a way to lock the door as soon as possible. ”
Lin Xiuyi saw that Mr. Morris, who was sitting beside him just now, was standing cautiously on the stairs, so he hurriedly reminded the other party that after receiving Lin Xiuyi's order, everyone began to act.
Half an hour later, when everyone returned to the hall again, a look of relief appeared on everyone's faces. So, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly asked everyone about the situation in the house.
"Well, did you find anything?"
"The kitchen, the window on the other side of the kitchen has been broken, and I think the murderer just broke in from there. I've locked the kitchen door. Should...... You should be able to rest assured!"
The Englishman, Spencer, gasped. Then he glanced at the group.
"Over there, there's a big patch of blood on the porch, I think...... It should be Mr. Shibata's, I can't believe it, why...... Why is this happening!"
Mr. Asai pointed to the position behind him, and said that he had gone there to look for Mr. Shibata's traces, but in the end he only found a pool of blood, a pool of blood that had disappeared on the lawn outside the house.
"You mean to say that you didn't see Mr. Shibata, did you, Mr. Asai?"
Although Steward Shibata could basically conclude that it was more than lucky, Lin Xiuyi still didn't want to use words like corpses, after all, a person he once knew was killed so suddenly under his nose, no matter what, Lin Xiuyi couldn't accept it.
"Yes, why is this happening, what the hell is going on, what should we do now, Officer Lin!"
Mr. Asai said to Lin Shuichi with some collapse.
"Don't worry, we just need to keep this house and don't go out, it's safe now, it's raining heavily outside, and the murderer is hiding in the shadows, if we rush out, it's likely to be the murderer's trajectory!"
Just as Lin Xiuyi was explaining, suddenly a frightened voice came from the hall.
"Look at this picture...... The painting ...... It!"
A woman pointed to the ruined "Love Letter" and said aloud in English. Then he involuntarily took a few steps back.
Lin Xiuyi hurriedly came to the front of the painting, he raised his head and stared carefully at the unrecognizable painting that had been destroyed, and couldn't help but feel a trace of hair on his back.
With the help of the light of lightning just now, Lin Xiuyi hadn't seen it clearly, and it was only at this time that he realized that the original painting was now covered with red paint like blood. It's like, it's like this painting is bleeding.
"This ...... This ......"
"It's just oil paint, not real blood!"
Lin Xiu turned around and said to everyone present. He then removed the painting from the wall and turned it over. Letting such a murderous painting, which had already been painted red, continue to hang on the wall will only make the people here worried.
When everyone gradually calmed down and began to sit together, Lin Xiuyi cautiously asked Mr. Asai tentatively:
"Mr. Asai, have you offended anyone recently, or have you encountered anything strange?"
"I ...... I've been abroad lately, and I really don't know what I can do to offend people......! By the way, that painting, I must have accidentally provoked someone when I took that picture......"
Mr. Asai said to Lin Xiuyi with a decadent face, and without saying a few words, his emotions became excited again.
"So...... What about Mr. Shibata? Does Mr. Shibata usually sin against anyone?"
Lin Xiuyi asked Mr. Asai again, and he looked at Koichi Asai with a serious face, as if he wanted to see something on the other party's face.
"I don't know, I've been here a lot lately, so I rarely ask about things in the villa......"
Koichi Asai shook his head and returned to the road.
"Senior Asai, in fact, I have a question that has been hidden in my heart all along, and now I really need to consult with you, what are you doing in the near future. Why did you suddenly leave Japan, why did you suddenly lose contact! All of this is so different from you in normal times!"
Yuan Zhizhu saw that Lin Xiuyi's questions were all avoided by Koichi Asai, so he personally questioned the other party.
"This ...... In fact...... Forget it!"
Koichi Asai glanced at everyone present with some hesitation, and then said to Lin Xiuyi with some embarrassment.
"Actually, I went to Europe this time to buy a batch of ...... A special batch of collectibles!"
"Special collectibles?"
Yuan Zhizhu couldn't help but ask a little puzzled.
"Yes, it is said that there is a batch of stolen paintings that are about to pass the prosecution period that will be sold, so ...... I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't think I was sure enough to tell the truth from the fake, so I ...... I just wanted to work with these gentlemen, and that's why I've been avoiding you all this time......"
Koichi Asai lowered his head and whispered with some shame.
Lin Xiuyi heard Asai Koichi's answer, and couldn't help but glance at Yuan Zhizhu, for being involved in such a predicament now, Lin Xiuyi really didn't know what to say, the only hope now is to wait for dawn, only when it is dawn, those servants who have gone down the mountain will come back to work, and then everyone will be saved.
"You're still hungry, so let's go to the kitchen and see if I can get you something to eat." ”
Just when everyone was silent, Ms. Furuzawa, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly stood up and greeted everyone.
"It's not safe to go alone, or I'll go with you!"
Yuan Zhizhu saw Ms. Gu Ze who stood up, and hurriedly said to the other party.
