Chapter 13: Murder (6)
"Ahhh
"Hey, can you be quieter, it's just a power outage." Ziliang said angrily.
Indeed, it is a power outage, although it is generally accompanied by this power outage, something will always happen, such as a person suddenly crunching to death, a person whose head swished and flew away, and so on......
However, this time the power went out...... It's really a power outage, and there is still a bit of light outside, not to the extent that you can't see your fingers, so ...... Nothing really happened.
As for why Marple shouted......
Suddenly it was dark, she was the most ineffective old lady in the whole room, shout, can you still go up and deal with her? Right.
"It's good now." Sherlock said helplessly: "So, when I was investigating yesterday, did anyone find where the electric switch was?" β
The rest shook their heads.
"None? It's impossible, a house of this size uses several times more electricity a day than a normal apartment, and it is impossible to do without a switch...... Sherlock said.
"Of course there will be electric switches, but they will be hidden." Mrs. Marple continued: "In such a luxurious villa, it would be unsightly to have an extra switch box on the wall, so it must have been covered with an oil painting or some kind of ornament on the outside. We just have to look through the things that are hanging on the wall, and we can always find them. β
"So, we're going to have to find the electric switch in the dark." Moriarty continued in that point-in-cheek tone.
Immediately afterwards, Kudo Shinichi took over the conversation: "I'm not going!" β
"Oh? Why? Moriarty asked knowingly.
"I said, I don't believe you, so, I suspect that there is at least a 90% chance that this power outage was caused by the murderer, he forced us to disperse in the dark, and then waited for the opportunity to kill the next target......" Shinichi's gaze cautiously swept over the people around him: "So, I won't pull any electric switch, you are willing to go, you have to go back to the house now!" β
As he spoke, Shinichi really got up and walked into his room, and then closed the door with a bang, and in the dark, he vaguely heard the sound of the door being locked.
You see, you see, this is the person who is familiar with [Horror Movie Survival Manual]......
A person's actions are never to go; Where you touch the dark, you will never go; Something unusual is happening, absolutely not curious; When you hear any strange noises, you will never check them, and when you catch a safe place, you will resolutely put the cat inside, no matter what the activity, it has nothing to do with you.
Only in this way can we have an attitude of not being arrogant or impatient, and we can do 'not do it!' Immortal! βγ
So, the rest of the people are looking at each other.
"I think this kid has a point." Mrs. Marple said.
"Everyone knows that it makes sense, so what should I do, I can't stand up so blindly." Ziliang said.
"Hmm-" Sherlock thought for a moment, "I think I can really hold it up." β
He said, then stood up and walked to his room: "So...... Good night. As he spoke, he closed the door as well.
"Well, that's it......" Moriarty said with a smile, "remember to lock the door, I don't want another corpse in this room tomorrow morning, after all...... There are already three, if there is one more, the smell in this villa will not be able to treat people...... Right. β
Immediately, Moriarty also left the table.
Of course, Mrs. Marple didn't want to stay in the big living room when she saw that everyone was gone, so she went into her room in a wheelchair.
At this moment, in the entire living room, only Ziliang was left.
He looked out the window at the thinning light, and then at the hearty food on the table...... Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, so he reached out and picked up a knife from the roast turkey plate, this knife is specially used to cut turkeys, so he is much sharper than other table knives, Ziliang swung hard, and cut off the turkey butt.
"Hey, heyβI see." He smiled inexplicably, in this dimly lit living room, it was quite oozing......
Soon, Ziliang also returned to his bedroom.
The villa was quiet again.
One Night......
No words......
That's weird!!
How could this night just pass!
At a certain time when Ziliang was half-asleep and half-awake.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel a flash of light......
Immediately after, another light was just outside his eyelids, alternating between darkness and light, as if trying to wake him up.
Well, to put it bluntly, it's actually the light bulbs on the ceiling that are starting to flicker, and it seems that the electric switch is about to recover.
Ziliang was shaken for a while, and then woke up, because the light was flickering on and off, like a discotheque, he couldn't sleep.....
But just as I was about to sit up......
"Ahhh
Immediately there was a scream outside the house!
The one who could make such a cry was Mrs. Marple, but this time the scream was obviously much more distracting than when she tripped before.
Ziliang couldn't care so much for a while, so he quickly pulled the door open.
I saw that the living room outside the door was similar to the bedroom, and the lights were flickering, and every time the lights came on, it was like a huge exposure.
And under this interweaving of light and darkness, Ziliang saw that on that Christmas tree, there was a person hanging with the word "big" - [Kudo Shinichi]. Under the sight of this moment, and lined with the signature actions like the 'Passion on the Cross', they are all as terrifying as the corpse of the murderous house under the thunderous rain in a horror movie.
Well, with this hanging posture, Ziliang can be sure that [Kudo Shinichi] is already a corpse!
Not far away, Mrs. Marple was looking at the corpse in horror, and she covered her mouth with her hand before she forcibly stopped the piercing scream.
At this moment, Moriarty also ran out, and his room was on the second floor, so he naturally saw the whole picture of this scene......
However, before everyone could get out of their panic, a black shadow fell from the sky in an instant!
The lights are still flickering! Everyone saw it, and the black shadow was exactly thatβ[Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes]!
His 'falling from the sky' was definitely not the kind that fell from the sky...... It's flying...... Yes, it's the kind of vampire or demon that landed lightly in front of everyone's eyes, and with it, there was a chilly aura that sent chills down the spine.
And in the midst of this jaw-dropping, terrifying picture, in an instant! A huge flame rose from the ground, enveloping Kudo Shinichi in the raging flames.
And [Sherlock. Sherlock Holmes], at this moment, disappeared in front of everyone's eyes!
