Luke's account 6

…………

…………

In the middle of the wooden table, candles were lit, but the large room was elongated, and the walls around it were rather dark.

…………

When I came back to my senses, I found that the moon was hanging in the sky, and it was already the hour.

Exhaustion from exhaustion and injury, I sat down at the wooden table and slept for a while.

…………

Of course, the people were very sad about Lei Sheng's murder, so it took a long time to prepare dinner.

We didn't sit down at the big table until the end of the unitary hour.

Everyone just put the food in their mouths and didn't talk much.

Terror and suspicion, sadness and despair, tension and powerlessness are all a lot of chaotic emotions that spread between us.

After finishing the meal, Wang Bo and Gu Zi went to the "Tiger Cave".

Grand Butler Rego went to the room on the second floor.

The only people left in the big room were me and the teenager Lei Lai.

The servants may be with their master, or they may be cleaning up the table, but I didn't see them anyway.

…………

My eyes see

Lei Lai was sitting on a wooden chair with his back to me.

He was concentrating on drawing on the blank paper with his head down.........

…………

There was silence in the spacious room.

In the silence, there was only the faint sound of the boy's pen waving on the paper.

…………

Half-asleep, half-awake, I dimly looked at the candlestick on the wooden table.

The candles that had become shorter lit up Ray to dress up in weird masks and cloth gloves. Except for the eyes, the whole body is covered.

Scalded, the seven-year-old boy could not live freely in the outside world.

It doesn't make a difference to him whether the iron door is locked or not, this wolf king fang is his whole world.........

It's like a blind lizard that has to live in the dark.........

…………

The boy looked up......... Sideways looking at me......... The flickering candle flame made his eyes look a little scary under the mask.........

"Lawyer........." the boy whispered in a hoarse voice.

"Huh?"

"Uncle Lu, do you regret coming to the Wolf King Fang?"

…………

I don't remember what I answered, I just felt like I was drowning in a murky sea.

When I looked at the boy again, he had already turned back and continued drawing.........

My eyelids were slowly sinking, my body was so heavy, and my whole body was hurting.

I'm so sleepy right now......... I slept until dawn......... Sleep All.........

However, my wish could not be fulfilled.

…………

Just as I was falling asleep, someone put a hand on my shoulder and shook me.

"Lu Ke."

A deep voice called me back.

…………

Grand Butler Rego stood right next to me.

He was dressed in a gray cloth robe, but his abdomen and wrists were stained red.........

…………

"What's wrong?" I was taken aback.

…………

Rego's brow furrowed. Just by looking at his expression, you can guess that there is probably another victim.

"We found Mrs. Tong. But she was injured, and we didn't know how to heal, so we had to ask Lu Advocate to treat her. ”

"Also, before we come back, can Lu Advocate help me take care of the child by the way."

…………

"Absolutely. But where did you find Madame Lu? How's she doing? I stood up, glancing out of the corner of my eye at Ray who was looking at me.

…………

"Mrs. Tong was discovered by me and Dafeng. We wanted to check if there was any problem with the ventilation window on the second floor, and we found that Mrs. Tong had collapsed at the door of Mrs. Tong's room in room No. 3. I don't know if I was attacked or if I hit something........."

“……… She had a large wound on the back of her head, mottled red. She was unconscious, unable to wake up no matter how much she screamed. ”

…………

"So, then, where is Mrs. Tong at the moment?" I asked.

"Room three. Please come to Mrs. Tong's room on the second floor. That's the closest couch......... Now it should be the insiders and subordinates who are taking care of Mrs. Tong. ”

"I see."

…………

Mrs. Tong's room is located on the second floor.

Butler Rego and I walked briskly out of the large room.

…………

…………

After a while, I returned with Butler Rego.

…………

Archbutler Rego looked tired and found a chair to sit down.

The vibrations around him caused the candlelight on the wooden table to flicker, and the shadows of the surrounding scenery changed slightly.

"Is Mrs. Tong's injuries serious?" Rego asked.

"Seems to be fine. Although it was a laceration on the head and mottled with red spots, the wound was not deep. ”

"Then it'll be fine!!" Grand Butler Rego breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope so." I said in a gloomy tone.

…………

"By the way, is there anything weird about the ventilation window in the hallway on the second floor?"

"No, the window is small and it's still blocked. Before Mrs. Tong was discovered by us, where the person was and where the murderer was hiding was still a mystery. ”

"That's ........."

"But........." The Grand Butler Rego glanced out the window at the Hanging Moon, "Haven't Uncle Wang and Guzi come back yet?" ”

"Not yet."

…………

"It's the end of the day. They should have come back a long time ago. ”

“……… Something is wrong. "I felt a wave of unease in my heart.

"Mr. Ma San is not here, where has he gone?" The chief butler's expression became more and more solemn, and he used a reprimanding tone.

It was as if I had been beaten in the face, and I couldn't even answer a word.

I didn't notice it at all.

…………

"I haven't seen him since now........." I quickly recalled.

When was the last time I saw Ma San?

…………

"Mr. Ma San left here a long time ago with a kerosene lamp, father." Ray said.

"When?"

"It was a long time ago. In Guzi, they went to the Tiger Cave, and what happened after their father went to see his mother. ”

"He himself said not to act alone!!" The chief butler folded his arms with a solemn face and scolded indignantly.

…………

New mysteries have emerged.

What does Ma San do alone?

Now that there are murderers rampant in the Wolf King's Fang, isn't it dangerous to act alone?

He probably sneaked out of the big room while I was asleep!

Having said that, Uncle Wang once said that Ma Sanxing's movements were suspicious, and it seemed that he had been trying to find something in this wolf king's fang.

If that is the case, then now may be the perfect time in this chaotic time.

…………

Is Ma San the murderer?

Was he looking for a way out?

Moreover, is there any connection between what Mrs. Tong was discovered during this period and Ma San's strange behavior?

At this moment, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, and someone rushed over.

It was the chef who rushed into the big room!!

…………

"It's over, it's over!" Dan's embarrassed face was too pale. His eyes were frightened, and beads of sweat kept coming out of his face.

The chief butler and I stood up in surprise when we saw this unusual behavior.

Lei Lai also looked at Dan silently.

…………

"What's wrong?" Archbutler Rego asked.

"Mrs. Tong, Mrs. Tong......... Dead, dead. Dan's feet were weak and he sat directly on the ground. Open your mouth with all your might, and tell us this fact in a gossamer.

…………

"What did you say?"

"What's going on?"

The butler and I asked in unison.

I could feel my face turn blue.

…………

Frightened, I almost fainted, and what I said next was that if it was true, it was something that we couldn't believe and fell into despair.

"She, her face, her face was cut. I was cut by, I was cut by someone!! ”

…………

…………

The victim this time was Mrs. Tong.

Incomprehensible and bizarre things happen again.

Mrs. Tong was sleeping in a closed room when she was suddenly assassinated, and the back of her face was cut by someone, and Dan Ge and Dafeng were outside the door of the room.

It's all too unbelievable to be described as sorcery.

It's like a demon.

No, this must be the poisonous hand of man.

A monster that comes and goes without a trace.

…………

So it's clear.

Human-underworld monsters come and go without a trace, and can come and go anywhere at will.

Even under the obstruction of the stone wall and the gaze of everyone, the human spirit can still come and go freely, and then disappear in an instant.

Of course, these things are not possible for ordinary people, and the evidence left at the scene shows that it is indeed incredible.

…………

Whether Lei Sheng was killed, or disappeared after killing Mo Si, these are all things that only monsters can do.

Nothing is impossible for humans.

…………

I'm going crazy.

The bleak scene of the room is still etched in my mind.........

Locked doors.........

I couldn't stop shaking.

It's horrible.

I want to leave this wolf king's fang, and I can't wait to leave immediately.

The number of victims continues to increase, and if I am too late, I will be one of the corpses.

In short, the details of Mrs. Tong's murder before and after are described in chronological order as follows.

…………

The chief housekeeper and his subordinate Dafeng found Mrs. Tong lying at the door of Mrs. Tong's room in Room No. 3 on the second floor, and there were red marks on her head.

Mrs. Tong was moved to the couch in the room. She was barely conscious at the time.

On the left is the room of Room 2 Laimo, and on the right is my room Room 4.

…………

Mrs. Tong's room was as big as our room on the second floor. The room is about one and a half zhang long and one zhang wide.

The interior of the room is also very simple.

The stone tiles on the floor were almost completely black, and the candlesticks on the table were old but cleanly polished. In addition to the couch, there is also a small cabinet and a cabinet with double doors.

…………

After Mrs. Tong was carried to the couch, the butler of Lego called Mrs. Lei over and asked her to take care of Mrs. Tong with her subordinates.

Then he went to the big room and told me and Ray about it.

…………

After that, the big butler took me back to the room where Mrs. Tong was.

…………

Since she was discovered, Mrs. Tong has been in a coma almost all the time, and she talks in her dreams from time to time.

There were no windows in the room, and the surroundings were quite cloudy, so during the treatment, I asked Dafeng to push the windows in the corridor as wide as possible.

…………

I only know some simple healing methods, and after a little diagnosis and treatment for Mrs. Tong, I asked my subordinate Dafeng to stay and help.

The butler and I went back to the big room for the time being.

…………

Mrs. Tong's life is not in danger. The diagnosis and treatment are almost over.

There were two buckets in the room, and Dan had already taken one of them to the first floor.

Dafeng was also ready to take an empty bucket to the first floor to fill the water.

…………

Just as Dafeng locked the door and walked to the wooden staircase, he was about to take a step down, when he suddenly felt a fear that almost froze his back.

There was a hoarse cry of fear somewhere in the hallway.

And the echo of that voice in the silent aisle, when it sounded again, suddenly fell silent.

"Mrs. Tong, Mrs. Tong?" The doctor realized that it was Mrs. Tong's screams before she died.

…………

Dafeng went straight to room three.

The kerosene lamps on the wall at the end of the walkway are all lit, and the entire walkway can be seen clearly, except for Dafeng, there is no one.

…………

Dafeng rushed to the door of the room, but the door could not be opened.

Then I remembered that when I left the room, I locked the door to be on the safe side.

…………

Dafeng finally unscrewed the lock with trembling hands and pushed the door open.

But what you see in the room is simply appalling.

The couch on which Mrs. Tong lies is placed against the wall on the right, and the wooden cabinet is located on the wall opposite the couch.

There was a small cabinet by the door, on which only a thunderous hat was placed.

…………

Mrs. Tong's face was cut, and there were many red marks from the wound. Faces are almost unrecognizable.

There was a candlestick on the table, and the twist of the kerosene lamp was burning.

Dafeng stared straight at Mrs. Tong's face.

…………

Murder, murder, this is a murder case!!

Mrs. Tong was killed.

And it was just killed, and the murder happened just now!

…………

Someone broke into the room during the short time that Dafeng was not in the room and killed Mrs. Tong.........

A brutal scene.

What the hell is going on?

…………

The doctor was stunned and fell into a panic. He couldn't tell what he was seeing.

"Ah, Dafeng, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up and find someone."

Dafeng looked back, he sat on the ground, his body was shaking, and next to him was a wooden bucket full of water, which obviously had just come back with water.

"Hmm......... Uh-huh........." Dafeng suddenly came back to his senses.

But fear was all over his body, and he couldn't move his legs.

…………

The next moment.

Dan had to ignore Dafeng, and ran through the aisle and wooden ladder like crazy to the big room.

When we heard this, the chief butler and I immediately rushed to the second floor.

…………

…………

"Get in!!" The butler said sharply, and pushed the door open.

Then we stepped into the room.

The sight inside was terrifying.

I just glanced at it, and my whole body was filled with fear. I was cold all over, and I couldn't stop shaking, and my feet were weak, and I couldn't move even half a step.

…………

I looked around the room.

According to the situation described by Dafeng, at the time of the incident, this room was a completely secret room.

Unless there is a place in this cramped room surrounded by thick walls where the murderer can hide.

The answer is no.

…………

The couch is quite well-made, with a thick base and a gap of only four inches between it and the ground, so you can't hide under it even if you're lying on your stomach.

The fire twist is burning.

The entrance to the vat room, like the other rooms, has a small wooden door with a latched latch. Later, Dafeng said that it was he who closed the small wooden door before he walked out of the room?

The low cabinet is only about a foot and a half, and it is impossible for people to hide in it. The wooden cabinet is also very small, and with the double door, as long as you open it, the inside of the cabinet is clear at a glance.

…………

I looked around the room, and finally I couldn't take it anymore, so I quickly ran to the corner of the hallway and vomited all the contents of my stomach.

"Are you alright? Lu lawyer? The butler stood in the doorway, looking at me worriedly.

"Well, it's okay........." This is a lie. I can't hold it anymore.

…………

I wiped my mouth with a gray cloth, nodded, and went back to my room.

…………

I had tears in my eyes, my eyes blurry, and I was a little out of breath.........

After composing myself a little better, I finally went down to check under the couch, checked the wooden cabinet, and went to remove the dust inside.

Then walk to the window of the hallway.

…………

The black window was sealed. I stretched out my hands and pulled the window open.

Outside the window, the wind was blowing, and the cold wind was blowing through the cracks in the sealing wood.

The black window is a square of one foot on four sides, and there are four sealing logs nailed to the outside, each about an inch apart.

I tried to shake the sealing wood, and found that the sealing wood was very strong and could not move.

…………

"Yes," I said to the butler, "no one can escape from here." ”

His face looked a little pale.

…………

At this time, I discovered something unbelievable.

The left edge of the black window has a little red stain.

After carefully observing the inside and outside of the black window, it was found that although the two sealing trees in the middle had turned black, it was difficult to identify a little red stain.

…………

"What did you find?" The chief butler walked to the dark window and asked coldly.

"It's strange that the door is closed! But the edges of the windows and the wood in this walkway were splashed with red stains........."

"That's when your hand touched the window and the wood!"

"I have a rag."

…………

"It's weird indeed......... So, do you think the prisoners entered and exited through the windows? ”

"No, that's impossible."

…………

Butler Rego and I went back to the room again.

…………

"What do you think about this?" The butler sighed and looked around at the miserable situation in the room.

"Let's not mention it for now." I was so scared in my heart, my mind was in disarray, how could I possibly speak.

…………

…………

"There are signs of damage on the couch board." I was about to walk out the door when I noticed something worth noting.

Where the couch board was pressed by Mrs. Tong's shoulder, there were not only cracks, but also a slight crack.

…………

In any case, the mystery of the disappearance of the prisoner and the murder weapon remains unsolved, and Dafeng's absence from the room is very short.

…………

"I really don't understand. How exactly did the prisoners get in? The big butler crossed his hands and swept the room, "According to Dan Ge and Dafeng's description, when they heard that wail, this room was locked. ”

“……… In addition, there is a wooden seal on the window. How did the prisoner escape? ”

"Dafeng is standing on the wooden ladder road. When he heard the wail, he immediately turned around and ran to room three, and the prisoner did not escape through the door. If the prisoner escaped through the door, he should have been able to see him, but it was impossible for the prisoner to escape through the window. ”

After a long time, everything returned to square one.

…………

I pulled the low cabinet door open and looked.

It was full of books, white paper, pens, and so on.

I looked back disappointed.

…………

"What kind of monster did you bring to this place?" The butler's eyes seemed to see what I was thinking.

"You're saying we brought the killer here?" I tried my best to hide my surprise.

Is he already aware of the existence of the human underworld?

…………

"Frankly, that's exactly what I thought. One of you keeps hurting people here!! ”

"How is this possible. It's not like that........." I didn't know what to say for a while.

"I think that's the only possibility!!" The butler said these words loudly. It seems that he is quite angry in his heart.

…………

“……… So what's next? I asked quietly.

"Anyway, wrap the body in a couch and carry it to the cellar room. You're here to help too!! The butler rubbed the lower part of his face with his palm, took a deep breath, and said in a very resolute tone.

"Huh?" I was stunned.

"I can't put such a horrible corpse here."

…………

"It's better to wait for Uncle Wang to see it before moving, isn't it?" I mentioned.

But the butler Rego had approached the couch. He looked at me with red eyes, "Uncle Wang is useless when he sees it." Mrs. Tong is dead. Won't come back to life no matter what........."

…………
