Chapter 35: The Outsider
When I got to the next door, all that was left was the smell of burning, and a charred man sat on the couch.
Why, will it be now? Could it be that the killer has anticipated our progress and hastened the pace of the killing? Xia Han asked.
At this time, everyone in the villa was awakened by the explosion, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps overhead.
"Everyone, don't move!"
Faced with a cold look that could freeze everything, Puff suddenly walked out of the room and jumped onto the handrail of the stairs.
Because the sound came from the speaker, the puff meowed.
Then I was frightened by the scene in front of me.
Standing on the stairs, only Li Mengran was alone.
Those who have died are Liu Ye, Lao Qi, and Ji Wenlan.
Li Mengran was on the stairs, and Mei Ye was behind him......
Other words......
"Uncle Sun!"
β
"Although, ahem, I'm really sorry to trouble you......" Sun Jianlin, who came back to his senses, sat on the bed.
He had visible strangulation marks on his neck, while the window was wide open and the door to his room was kicked open by the butler.
"Can you see what the murderer looks like?" Puff asked.
"I accidentally fell asleep at the time, and it was dark, so I ......"
"Forget it, it's good to survive...... But the murderer's timing seems to have gone wrong. Puff looked at the window.
Unless...... What went wrong?
I see!
"Weiyang, let Puff go to Lao Qi's room!"
After returning to the charred room on the first floor, there was a clang, and it seemed that something had been thrown in through the window and landed in front of Puff.
It was a brass-colored cylindrical thing with a thin rope at its tip, hissing and smoking.
At the moment of seeing this thing, Xia Han shouted.
"Run!"
But before he finished speaking, a flash of light erupted in front of his eyes.
Click, click, everything slowed down, and the flames of the lead could be seen slowly advancing.
"My ability is only two seconds, hurry up!" Mei Ye stretched out her arm and lit up a faint white light.
But Puff didn't run away, but bit the root of the fuse.
Click, click, bite off after a while, the flame went out, and only the explosives fell to the ground stupidly, a scorched smell.
Everyone, including Xia Han, was dumbfounded by this scene, but Weiyang showed a satisfied smile.
"As I said before, magic is nothing more than a means to an end." Weiyang whispered on the side.
That is, it is very laborious magic, and sometimes a bite can be substituted.
But Puff choked a few mouthfuls in disgust, then jumped into the distance and coughed.
"Weiyang, let's get back to business."
Xia Han, who returned to his seriousness, whispered a reproach.
Because...... The killer is already obvious.
"Everyone, don't move, next, Steward Shen, please close the door and call Hongling and Blueberry to the restaurant to gather."
The time has come to uncover the mystery.
"Is it necessary to be so restrained? What's more, the trailer hasn't been ...... yet"
"Are you looking forward to the teaser happening? Miss May? "There was a cold voice in the speakers.
"Because I'm the last? I'm sorry," Mei Ye suddenly regained her smile and slowly paced over, "I thought I was the first, not to mention that everyone can't escape from this villa, right?" Everyone did not hesitate to have a showdown with President Wu in order to protect the secret of the year, but he did not hesitate to kill Lao Shen. β
"I'm sorry, my family has been guaranteed by President Wu, so ......"
As for Hongling and Blueberry, they were originally orphans adopted and raised by Wu Cheng, this kind of familiar drama......
No, it's not.
Blueberry suddenly rushed towards Wu Xun, who was walking at the back, and then pulled out a dagger, ready to cut his throat immediately.
Sure enough, this maid appeared the least in front of everyone, but ......
"Everyone, don't move, Blueberry, put the knife down."
Following the sound of the speaker, Hongling had already put the shotgun against Blueberry's head.
Puff jumps to the center of the table and sits all the survivors.
Mei Ye and Sun Jianlin sat side by side, Li Mengran sat opposite Sun Jianlin, and Blueberry stood aside with a shotgun.
Strangely, for some reason, Wu Xun and Blueberry stood together, and Hongling's eyes glanced at him from time to time. The butler stood aside.
It's just too confusing, with different motives mixed up in this room.
So restore it well, the story should start from ......
"Blueberry, where's the detonator?" Puff asked suddenly.
Blueberry bit her lip and didn't answer.
"Well, the so-called coffin," Puff said with an elegant and arrogant stride at the table, "is nothing more than the entrance to an underground base, something like a fortress that has accumulated over the years, and which usually kills all those who break in indiscriminately in order to protect what is below." β
This villa is too, and it is the same thing as the coffin.
"Whether it's the refrigerator in the kitchen or the various dishes that have just been delivered, there is a key problem, that is, there is a slight smell of sulfuric acid remaining, so don't bully the cat's sense of smell."
Entering the state so quickly, Weiyang couldn't help but glance at Xia Han.
"The topic also starts with a sum of money from Xikang Pharmaceutical, four years ago, there were one billion dollars in the financial situation that did not know where to go, although the surface account was very good."
"How did you ......" Meiya raised her eyes and looked at Puff.
"How can you see it? It's really unfortunate that this task was intercepted by the head of our firm, who called her investment banker who only loves to speculate in stocks now. Beware of outsiders, Sister Mei, and all the guys who don't seem to be threatening, it's no joke. Now I'll reveal your true identities, alive and dead. β
Mei Ye, formerly known as Wu Mei Ye, Wu Cheng's biological daughter, is the person in charge of this secret production base at his feet.
Nine years ago, in 2009, eighteen-year-old Mei Ye and nineteen-year-old Zhang Xun fell in love at first sight at the School of Medicine of Chunshen University, but Zhang Xun was born poor, and after combining with his father, he decided to let him join the family and changed his name to Wu Xun, and Wu Meiye also hid behind the scenes.
After graduating from university in 2013, Wu Xun officially entered Xikang Pharmaceutical and was constantly promoted, while Mei Ye went to London to study for graduate school.
The problem is that after Wu Xun slowly grasped the management of Hengkang Pharmaceutical, a branch of Xikang Pharmaceutical, he had an improper relationship with the secretary, and this matter was covered up under Wu Cheng's secret operation. But only Mei Ye, who was abroad, didn't know.
"That is, you, Li Mengran, on March 18, 2014, you went to the Red House to have an abortion, you didn't take it seriously at the time, you actually used your real name."
Li Mengran lowered his head and was silent.
"Then came the best part, in 2015, Mei Ye joined the wizarding world at that time when she graduated from London, and with the most advanced containers, spirit veins exploration and refining technology there, she was ready to return to China to start her potions business, and she hoped that her fiancΓ© would support her."
Of course, Wu Xun, who knew how many catties and taels he had, quickly agreed.
But the problem is that after Li Mengran was fired, Wu Xun seized the opportunity and was transferred back as a project manager when the new plant started.
"This is the root of sin."
Li Mengran has always concealed the truth about Mei Ye's year, and Wu Cheng is far away from the emperor, and he only knows that he has allocated one billion yuan to support his daughter's career, but he didn't expect that in addition to the bankers and entourage he invited to the past, his daughter has been vacated by a handful of people.
That is, the real composition of this team.
Mei Ye, the general person in charge of the project.
Sun Jianlin, the person in charge of finance, was actually arranged by Wu Cheng to monitor the funds.
Lao Qi, the person in charge of the underground project, was actually arranged by Wu Cheng to protect his daughter.
Li Mengran, Wu Xun's former secretary and project manager.
Ji Wenlan, Li Mengran's cousin, was pulled over to mix his salary because he lived in poverty.
Liu Ye, Li Mengran's lover at the time, was in charge of the mechanical manufacturing of ground facilities.
"Then let's talk about the kidnapping case two years ago, this spirit vein was indeed taken by Aesop."
But it is in the case of the combination with the martial arts.
