Chapter 230: The Gun in the Lockbox

Long Xi looked at the dwarf terracotta figurines carefully, except for the loss of two in number, there were no other obvious changes, and even the placement was exactly the same as the original.

Mrs. LI slumped on the couch, her body shivering like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

SI also sat on the sofa with her eyes closed, looking like she was about to faint.

JU said: "It's a pity that I didn't bring the satellite phone this time, alas, it was a mistake! I've been here so many times, and every time it's safe and happy!"

The BA boss angrily scolded him: "Now it's still a fart!"

JU was smacked by him viciously, his face was red and white, his mouth opened, and he didn't say anything in the end.

Long Xi said: "I think for the sake of today, we still have to get everyone together, so that the murderer has no chance to attack." If the murderer is just one, then if a few of us are united, he will still be outnumbered, right?"

The BA master sneered and said, "Joke! Am I afraid that he will not succeed? Let me tell you the truth, I have a gun in my hand! I will go back to sleep now and see which one dares to touch me?"

Mrs. LI said, "BA, I've already warmed up some dishes, let's go back to the bedroom." It's all leftovers from last night, everyone will order to eat, and the greeting is not good, please forgive me! The old housekeeper and his wife are in the current situation, everyone has also seen it, and they are not in the mood to cook. ”

Seeing her speak, the BA master softened his tone a little and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you are the daughter of the Jushang family, where are you used to doing these jobs?"

Long Xi said: "My cooking skills are okay. If you don't dislike it, I'll make you some dishes?"

Mrs. LI said, "Yes, yes, there are fresh ingredients in the kitchen, but I won't get them." ”

SI suddenly objected: "No, what if you take the opportunity to poison you?"

Long Xi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since you said so, then I won't go to the kitchen in order to avoid suspicion." ”

SI SAID TO MRS. LI, "COUSIN, I'LL HELP YOU BRING OUT THE FOOD." ”

Mrs. LI said, "You kid, you still don't speak through your brain. Then, according to what you just said, if someone gets poisoned after eating a meal, the biggest suspect is me? So what else are you here to help? If even you are suspected, isn't it my sin?"

SI was stunned when he heard this, probably because he felt that he had lost his words just now, his face turned red, and tears rolled in his eyes again.

JU couldn't see her pitiful appearance the most, and hurriedly comforted her.

Mrs. LI went into the kitchen herself and served the meal on a large plate.

JU said, "Mrs. LI, I absolutely believe in you, but I can't protect anyone else from poisoning the window or something. I heard that silver needles can test poison, or ......"

Mrs. LI said, "I'm here to try the dishes." If it's really poisonous, then let me go to Huangquan with my late husband!"

She resolutely used her chopsticks to pick a dish from each dish plate and put it in her mouth to eat.

Five minutes later, she did not show any signs of poisoning.

JU couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

The BA boss scolded him again: "JU, you coward!" But after all, when Mrs. LI tried the dishes, he didn't stop him.

Now he is relieved to eat.

The others ate it too.

To be honest, Long Xi is not hungry. This is because the speed of time in the game is not the same as that of the outside world.

Although she had been in the game for almost 12 hours, the real world time was only five minutes at most.

However, to show her belief in Mrs. LI, she also took a few symbolic bites.

After the BA family had eaten, he went upstairs.

MK helped the old housekeeper and his wife dispose of AN's body, washed their hands, and also came over to eat.

SI's eyes keep revolving around MK, making him uncomfortable.

He was about to say something about SI when he suddenly heard a gunshot.

Everyone was frightened, and they were immediately frightened and overwhelmed.

MK was relatively calm, and immediately judged that the gunshot was coming from the old butler's room.

Long Xi knew that something was wrong, and walked over quickly with MK, only to see that the door was closed.

MK kicked the door open, stunned by what was inside.

The old butler lay on his back on the floor, with a bullet hole in his forehead, and blood flowed profusely.

Long Xi saw that another person had died, and the windows and doors were obviously locked from the inside, and he didn't see any other passages for the murderer to enter the room and leave, which was really weird!

Is this a closed room murder?

What's even weirder is that the old housekeeper's wife, QI, is gone!

Then I rushed to Mrs. LI's face was pale and she wanted to speak, but she opened her mouth but found that she couldn't make a sound.

Because SI was shaking so much, he could hear the sound of teeth colliding up and down, and the porcelain-like bones rubbing against each other, making a chilling sound.

Even JU, a man who had always been calm, was leaning back against the wall, his legs trembling slightly.

BA and SU, who heard the gunshot, also went downstairs, BA was wearing pajamas and looked quite awake, while SU was still staring in a daze, and a little fluttery, as if walking in the clouds.

Long Xi asked Mrs. LI, "Is there a secret passage or a secret room in this room?"

Mrs. LI shook her head nervously.

Long Xi helped Mrs. LI out of here, returned to the dining room, and poured a glass of whiskey for Mrs. LI to drink.

After Mrs. LI calmed down, Long Xi asked her the same question again.

Mrs. LI said with tears in her eyes: "This room was designed by me and my late husband and personally supervised the completion of the craftsmen, there can be no secret passage, there is no secret room, and the only exit is the window and door." ”

This is strange, could it be that the murderer will not be able to escape the ground?

Long Xi subconsciously looked at the dwarf terracotta figurines on the dining table.

Hey, there's one less!

The one with the least is the dwarf terracotta figurine with a kitchen knife that MK presumably represents the old butler.

Moreover, the old butler was also shot to death as the nursery rhyme says!

Long Xi suddenly frowned.

When the gunshot rang out, everyone else was at the dining table except for the old housekeeper and his wife, BA Dangjia and SU.

They left the table and went to the old butler's room and poured it back again, which was only ten minutes before and after.

In such a short period of time, who quietly took the dwarf terracotta figurines without being noticed at all?

The door and back door are locked from the inside, and the windows have anti-theft nets, can it be said that the murderer will really fly away or become invisible?

Or, this room has a secret passage or secret room, but Mrs. LI doesn't know about it?

JU suddenly shouted: "BA master, you killed the old butler!"

The BA boss said disdainfully: "You nerd, what bullshit!"

JU said, "You're the only one with a gun!

The BA boss said: "Believe it or not, I'm going to crash you right now! I was on the second floor just now, and I was just trying to sleep when I heard a gunshot! I locked my gun in a safe, and the safe was tailor-made for me by someone I hired to sell it, and only I knew the password! No one else could open it without permission! Now it is in the closet of my room. ”

Long Xi said: "BA master, in order to prove your innocence, can you take us to have a look?"

The BA master said: "Okay! Although I am the second master of Skynet, we are not casually killing! This is the home of my most respected Mrs. LI, and I will not do such a thing! Besides, I have only met the old butler a few times in total, and he has always been respectful to me, so why should I kill him?"

He said as he walked up the stairs and pushed open his bedroom door.

The crowd followed him into his bedroom and watched him open the closet.

There is indeed a password safe inside, which looks not much different from the one sold on the market.

The BA master gently touched the surface of the password safe, and a glowing square appeared on the surface of the safe, and the square was divided into ninety-nine eighty-one square grids by horizontal and vertical lines, nine of which were blank, and the other squares had the number of BT planet.

The BA master has words in his mouth, as if he is calculating something.

Half a minute later, he used his hand to write the numbers on the nine blank squares.

"Smack!" the lock of the safe automatically unlocked.

Long Xi understood. This is a complex nine-square grid calculation problem!

She was surprised! As a top student, she still couldn't figure out the answer in half a minute, but she didn't expect this seemingly coarse BA master to have such strong mental arithmetic ability?

The BA master opened the door and saw that it was empty!

He was dumbfounded!

"Where's my gun?" he let out a strange cry, with an expression of disbelief, and he didn't know if it was acting or real!

JU said in a non-salty tone: "Yes, where is your gun? I dare to say that the murderer is you!"

Long Xi saw that the BA boss was about to get angry, and immediately said: "BA master, don't be angry first! You think about it calmly, who else can unlock it besides you?"

BA spitted a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground and said, "Impossible! Every time the nine-square grid problem is random and very difficult, who can solve the correct answer in 40 seconds except me? I am a master of math and mental arithmetic! If I can't write the correct answer for more than 40 seconds, then this lock can't be unlocked within an hour." It won't give you a second chance to decode until an hour later!"

JU was about to say something, but Long Xi stopped him with his eyes. If the BA boss didn't lie, then he really lost a gun, and at this time, you must not provoke the BA master!

Mrs. LI said to the BA master: "BA, you and Mr. OU have been friends for many years, I believe you!"

The BA master pointed at JU, and his expression was quite fierce.
