Lu Ke's account XI.

…………

…………

"So, have you finished visiting Nuwa Cave?"

"What are you talking about? We've been visiting for a long time!! Around the beginning of the Shen period, we came back after seeing the waterfall underground. It was a mysterious sight. The shocked Mo Si poked his head out and asked.

…………

"So how long have I been unconscious.........

…………

"What's going on?"

"Did you go back to the Wolf King's Workshop through the Tiger Cave?"

"Yes! Ma San is still very excited about this underground secret passage........."

…………

"My subordinate Dafeng and I came back from the Tiger Cave around noon. It was on the way back from the cellar to the first floor that I encountered this tragedy. ”

…………

"That's weird, Lu Ke. Dafeng said that you went back to your room after eating a little food, and said that you have been sleeping since then. Mo Si said with a confused face.

…………

"W-What?" I was shocked from the bottom of my heart and looked anxiously at everyone present.

Perhaps an illusion.

But I feel like everyone is looking at me differently.

…………

"That's right, Brother Lu Ke." Lei Sheng, who was wrapping a cloth belt around my feet, looked up at me, nodded, and said, "Dafeng once informed me that around noon, you felt unwell and returned to the Wolf King Fang. ”

"And we just met with the Wolf King's owner, Grand Butler Rego. The big butler didn't mention anything unusual that had happened in this wolf king's fang. Lai Mo walked up to me, looked at me contemptuously and said.

…………

…………

I don't know what to say.

Why is there a discrepancy between Dafeng's statement and the facts?

Why did things turn out this way?

The world I live in seems to have collapsed.

I began to doubt everything that was "of course".

…………

There was an awkward atmosphere of doubt and suspicion in the field.

and the silence that enveloped everyone present.

…………

…………

Half a day.

…………

The room returned to a terrifying silence, and even the sound of everyone's breath could be heard.

…………

"Okay, it's wrapped."

Immediately after Lei Sheng's treatment, I put on my clothes, but I had to wear my shirt over my shoulders with cloth bands around my head, back of my neck, and my ankles.

…………

"Not long after everyone set off for Nuwa Cave, Grand Butler Rego returned to the Wolf King's Workshop. Mrs. Butler and Lei Lai haven't eaten with the Butler for a long time. They feasted together. Lei Sheng said.

…………

After a while, footsteps could be heard in the hallway.

The trio who had gone to the cellar to investigate returned.

…………

…………

Mrs. Tong walked in with a puzzled look.

Wang Bo and Ma San's expressions were extremely solemn, and they were also a little indifferent.

…………

"How?" I asked confidently.

The three of them glanced at the others in the room, and then Uncle Wang took a step forward and said to me in a low, formal tone:

"There are no corpses in the cellar. I couldn't find any corpses in the cellar of the Wolf King Workshop, and in other rooms, where did you find the corpses? ”

…………

…………

May six.

At that moment, I felt as if everything had stopped.

It was a horror.

…………

"How, how is it possible!! You say you can't find the body? I asked, stunned.

"That's right, there are no corpses in the cellar at all. And there is no trace of a chase either. Uncle Wang replied in a cold voice.

…………

"But I did see it, and I saw a corpse with a gray sack over its head......... And there is also a red-dyed iron nail rake next to it!! ”

"But we can't find anything anywhere you said. Not only the corpses, but also the gray cloth bags and iron nail rakes were not seen, and there was not a single drop of red in the cellar. ”

…………

"Liar!!" I fell into a semi-crazy state, "You say fake!! I saw it! I read that right!! ”

I saw that Ma San and Gu Zi's eyes were also cold.

…………

…………

"We're not suspicious of you."

"So what do you mean? Look at what I look like! I did get attacked!! Uncle Wang's words in a calm tone made me more and more angry.

…………

"We just want to make sure of the situation."

"I see! Someone must have hidden the corpses and nail rakes, or moved somewhere else!! ”

…………

…………

"Listen up, Lu Ke. We looked closely at the floor, and there was not a single drop of red on the floor, and there was no sign of anything dragging on the ground. There was a thin layer of dust on the ground, and in some places there was mold, and with a little observation, you could tell if what you said had really happened, and there was no trace of this at all. ”

…………

I was speechless.

…………

"He said he was attacked by a short old man, right?" Ma San looked like he didn't care about himself.

Mo Si walked up to him and quickly recounted what I had just said to them.

…………

"It's not the point that there is a discrepancy between the subordinate and his account, the most important thing is that someone was killed."

…………

"I really saw it!!" I stood up and yelled at both of them, not caring how painful the wound would be.

…………

"The problem is that your narrative is inconsistent with the facts. Not only are there no corpses. The most important thing is that no one has disappeared in the Wolf King's Fang. If someone is killed, someone is supposed to be missing, isn't it? Ma San crossed his arms.

…………

"This ........."

…………

"The best way to do this is for you to go to the cellar and tell us exactly where things are going on. If we don't get it right, we're in the wrong place. ”

"Of course you can.........," I said angrily.

…………

"Your body doesn't matter, does it?"

"It doesn't matter!"

…………

We decided to go to the cellar of the Wolf King Fang to see what was going on.

…………

…………

I held Lei Sheng and Guzi by the shoulders.

Everyone went down the wooden ladder in the large room and walked to the big dining table. We turned the corner and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

Next door to the kitchen is where the cellar of the firewood room Wolf King Fang is located.

…………

…………

Uncle Wang held the kerosene lamp alof, walked down the small staircase, and pushed open the thick wooden door.

The cellar of the Wolf King Fang could not accommodate everyone in a hurry.

…………

Uncle Wang and Ma San went first, and Lei Sheng and I followed.

…………

…………

Walk through the corridor behind the Black Gate.

Finally came to the door of the black wood.

…………

"Open the door!" Uncle Wang said in a contemptuous tone, at least to me, but sixth, pointed to the door in front of him.

…………

I walked straight to the black wood door.

Uncle Wang was still the first to enter, lighting the room with a kerosene lamp, as a result

…………

Ahh What I saw was

What's going on?

How so?

Something must be wrong!

Not bad

There must be a mistake!!

That's where I was attacked.........

…………

It's weird.

Deceitful! I don't believe it!

No way! Is it my dazzle?

Impossible! I must have been deceived!!

…………

But facts are facts.

There were no corpses at the scene, and the corpses did not exist at all.

…………

Not bad, but six.

Completely gone.

And as Uncle Wang said, every word I said that someone had been killed, and that there was a red nail rake on the ground, could not be believed.........

…………

…………

My eyes began to shake.

A heavy blow.

I thought it was something wrong with my eyes or head.

Press your eyes with your hand several times, then take a good look at it carefully.

…………

The room was very cramped, less than a foot on all sides, and there was no furniture and no place to hide.

The walls of the room are made of rough stones, and the stones are covered with mud.

The roof panels and walls were covered with black dirt, and there was a musty smell wafting from all sides, and the only entrance and exit to the whole room was the door.

…………

…………

"Nothing, no?" I yelled. My mind went blank.

I rushed to the middle of the room, fell on the floor, and touched the floor with my palm.

I thought the red trail had been washed away by the murderer.

…………

But when I saw the dry, dusty ground, I knew I was wrong.

…………

"None? How so? ”

I can't take it.

I in no way admit that this is true.

I searched back and forth in the room.

…………

"Where have you been? Where have they been moved? ”

…………

"Brother Lu Ketai, it won't help you do this, there's nothing here, and no one will move the corpses out from here." Seeing me yelling, Lei Sheng said with an embarrassed expression.

…………

"Get out of the way!!" I knocked Lei Sheng away and rushed out of the black wood gate.

In a trance, I rushed out of the corridor and came to the large cellar with white lanterns hanging in the corners.

That's where I woke up.

I couldn't care about the pain in my body anymore.

…………

Ma San held a kerosene lamp high behind me, casting my shadow in the middle of the cellar against the wall of the aisle, while the rest of it was illuminated by red flames.

…………

There was still nothing left in this large cellar.

The only thing that exists on the earth is dust that has accumulated from the past to the present.

…………

…………

"How, how can this happen?" I looked back with a pale face.

Ma San was looking at me with sympathy.

…………

"You saw it, Lu Ke. There are no victims in both cellars as you mentioned. ”

…………

…………

The impact was so great that I couldn't think about it.

Countless fragments of the past were pieced together in my mind and swirled around before my eyes.

My gaze fell on my hand, and I stretched out my hand to Ma San's eyes.

…………

"You—Look!! Please take a look. My hand touched the red stains on the fingertips of the murderer! This is the red trail of the victim........."

"It's a red stain, but you're injured, and it could be your own." Ma San said after looking at my fingertips.

…………

"What are you talking about? You have a question!! All of you have problems. I know!! ”

“……… So that's it! You're all kidding me!! You join forces to lie to me! Am I right, or do you think I'm crazy!! ”

"Nope. I'm normal! I'm sure I'm normal! I really saw it in the cellar, I really saw it!! ”

…………

………

"Lu Ke, calm down. All in all, you want to be stable. You're so aggressive, we can't talk to you properly. ”

“……… Listen, we're all on the same side as you, we don't have to lie to you. Ma San said calmly.

"But"

…………

"Don't say it, listen to me. Are you getting it wrong? Are you confusing other rooms with this little cellar? ”

"I'm not wrong!!"

…………

"It's better to be sure, after all, it's not a trivial matter for someone to be killed."

"Hmm......... Uh-huh......... "I was settled by Ma San's words."

But the anger in my heart was burning, and my mind was in chaos.

…………

…………

I reluctantly stepped onto the aisle, my foot hurt very much, and Lei Sheng helped me walk.

Everyone gathered around me and looked at me with suspicion.

I pursed my lips tightly, sinking into my anger, bearing the mishump.

…………

…………

We went back to the first floor of the Wolf King Square.

Searched every room in the Wolf King's Workshop.

The thatched house, the kitchen, the storage room, the study, the large room, etc., were all searched once.

Then he searched all the rooms on the second floor.

…………

But what's going on?

…………

Nothing.

Can six!

Nothing strange or suspicious.

…………

Oh, my God!! Why?

…………

Not bad.

It's a fact.

Living facts.

Not to mention the corpses, there was not even the slightest suspicion, not even the slightest sign of an ordinary character.

We even checked the whole kitchen.

As a result, nothing suspicious was found.

…………

…………

Confusion, confusion, and despair rushed wildly in my heart, tearing my mind apart.

My consciousness became more and more blurred, my whole body was weak, and I fell into a state of collapse.

Someone didn't know if it was Lei Sheng or Guzi who helped me in time.

…………

Everyone understood that it would be useless to continue looking, so they went back to the large room on the first floor.

…………

…………

I sat in the wooden chair for a while before I had the strength to look around.

…………

…………

"What do you think of it now?" Ma San stared at me and said.

“……… Very uncomfortable. I want to throw up. ”

It's true. I really want to throw up.

…………

"Lu Ke, what the hell is going on?" Uncle Wang said with a displeased face.

"What's going on"

"Why did you go out of your way to cause such a stir?"

…………

"You don't believe me, do you?" I held back the anger in my heart and sneered.

…………

"Lu Ke, you're going to bother us a lot like this, do you understand?" The fat Mo Si mixed in with a distressed expression.

…………

"Haunted?"

"Yes! What if such a big commotion reaches the ears of Grand Butler Rego? We were invited here, and it would be bad if the chief steward was upset if someone had been killed in the Wolf King's Square. ”

"Nonsense!!" I don't bother to argue with them.

…………

"No, we wouldn't care. It's okay, and the big housekeeper shouldn't care. Lei Sheng said sincerely.

"Thank you." Mo Si thanked him flatteringly.

…………

"Lu Ke, you are a lawyer, use your director to analyze the current situation!!" Ma San frequently stroked his beard and said.

…………

"Yes!!"

Although I nodded, I was so angry that I couldn't speak, "But you all think I'm lying, and it's useless for me to say anything to you." ”

"I don't think so."

"Okay, then call Dafeng over, I'm going to ask him personally why he is liaring."

…………

Ma San gestured to Lei Sheng with his eyes, and the latter hesitated for a moment, then immediately nodded, "Okay, let's ask Dafeng again." ”

…………

…………

Lei Sheng asked Guzi to bring Dafeng over.

After a while, Dafeng arrived at the big room.

…………

This dignified-looking subordinate came in and glanced at me. Although he nodded slightly, Mu Ran's expression still didn't seem to be shaken by anything.

…………

…………

"Are you looking for me?" Dafeng straightened his back and looked at the wall in front of him and asked.

Lei Sheng told him the whole story, and then Ma San asked him to repeat the situation after I and he returned from the Nuwa Cave.

But I can't accept what he said at all.

…………

"The gate of the compound has been closed, so I will follow Master Lei Sheng's instructions and take Brother Lu Ketai from the Tiger Cave back to the Wolf King Fang. When we arrived at the cellar, it was probably just after noon.

"I asked Brother Lu Ketai what he thought, and he said it was fine, and I asked him again if he wanted to have a meal before going back to his room to sleep, and he said that he wanted to eat some light meals.........

“……… I asked Dan to make a few flatbreads. After Brother Lu Ketai finished eating in the big room, he went back to the room on the second floor. It was about noon, and I took a pot of tea to Brother Lu Ketai's room. ”

…………

"What nonsense are you talking about!!" I listened to his words and shouted without thinking, "Dafeng, you left me in the cellar and left!" After that, I was attacked by the old man with a wrinkled face!! ”

"I'm really sorry, Brother Lu Ketai. I don't remember what you said. Dafeng slowly turned his face towards me.

…………

"What are you laughing about!!" Furious, I stood up, "You're the old man's accomplice!" You want to frame me!! ”

…………

"You wait a minute, Lu Ke." Ma San stood in front of me.

I sat down reluctantly.

…………

"Dafeng, I ask you. When you returned to the Wolf King's Square, did you see strange people or strange things in the cellar or elsewhere? ”

"No, Mr. Ma San. Not at all. ”

…………

"We returned to the Wolf King's Fang around the time of Shen Shi, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Ma San."

"I see, I see." Ma San nodded and said.

…………

"Alright, Dafeng. Thank you. Lei Sheng said in agreement.

…………

After Dafeng walked out, Guzi closed the door.

…………

…………

The atmosphere in the stadium was even more solemn than before.

…………

"It seems that it will take a lot of time to find out the truth." Ma Sanda sighed.

"The truth was clear from the beginning, it was the man who told the lie!!" At one point, my body trembled with anger.

"Don't slander others casually, the truth must be judged based on real evidence!!"

…………

"That's it, guys. Let's let Lu Ke take a break!! He was injured and seemed mentally exhausted. Everyone will come and ask him later, okay? "Lei Sheng proposed a way to help us round the field at this time.

"I'm fine." I said unconvinced.

…………

"No, Brother Lu Ketai, don't be reckless, you need to rest."

"However, I don't think you inflicted the wounds yourself, definitely by someone who attacked you out of the blue. I think we've got to find out who is going to do it. ”

…………

"It's great to finally have someone on my side."

"Then let me take you back to your room! Take the liberty of asking, are you hungry? As you said, you haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll ask someone to help you prepare some food. ”

"No......... Okay, okay. Prepare me something to eat, anything, and please give me medicine that will heal my wound in no time. I couldn't help but laugh.

…………

"Everyone." Lei Sheng looked at everyone, "Then let's let Brother Lu Ketai go back to the room to rest, and then go to dinner together!" Dinner was already ready. ”

"Okay!! It's better that way. ”

"No, wait a minute." I insisted that I not rest yet. ”

…………

"Why?"

…………

"I'm not done yet. Please let me see the Butler Rego, I want to speak face to face with the owner of this Wolf King's Place. I won't be willing to see him, and I can't feel at ease. ”

I glared at everyone's faces.
