Lu Ke's account 3

…………

…………

"Key ........."

"Yes, Master Lu, everyone, you should all understand, right? Our keys were snatched by the murderers, and we were locked up in this wolf king's house. ”

“……… Perhaps, this is how Lei Sheng was killed. In any case, we are now facing a very bad situation, that is, we are trapped in this wolf king's fang, and we can't get out."

…………

This room is very large, but the dark black interior makes it look old.

Even though it was early summer and late May, there was still a chill around.

As soon as we were silent, the darkness that was hiding around us gradually set in.

It was as if countless insects were crawling from the corner of the wall to the firelight.

Although it was only an illusion, the light of the kerosene lamp on the table really became faint.

It's like a desperate silence in a sheltered room.

All of them were like ironclad figures, or frozen, motionless.

The sound of the wind outside the window is also very loud.

…………

The words of the Grand Butler Rego had a great impact on me.

Uncle Wang, whose face has changed drastically, must also be in a similar mood to mine.

…………

"Butler Rego, what do you mean by that!" Uncle Wang leaned forward and said angrily.

The flames on the wooden table swayed with the aura, and the shadows on everyone's faces looked like some terrible beast.

…………

"Uncle Wang, I mean what I just said. The murderer who killed Lei Sheng took away all the exit keys in the Wolf King Fang. All the doors that led to the outside were locked, including the gate of the compound. ”

“……… When Guzi found out, he immediately told me, and I also checked them one by one, and the doors on the first floor were indeed locked. We have been imprisoned by the murderer in this wolf king's house. ”

…………

"You mean, the murderer deliberately locked us up in this wolf king's fang?" Uncle Wang's eyes widened and he repeated.

"Not bad. To be exact, there is only one place that is unlocked, and that is the ventilation window on the second floor. But as you know, even if you climb to the second floor and jump from the window, you will at most be in the compound......... All in all, there is no way we can escape. Butler Rego said.

…………

"Really?" Uncle Wang yelled at the crowd.

"Yes, at least the door is locked. I've seen that too. Mo Si said weakly.

"It's true......... Ma San nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Why? Why did the killer do this? Uncle Wang asked.

"I don't know. I had no clue at all. The butler said helplessly.

…………

"Nope! We're going to be killed by the murderers......... Just like Lei Sheng, yes, it will be like this!! Mrs. Tong also began to yell hysterically.

"Calm down, Tong Li! It doesn't have to be that way. Lai Mo said to Mrs. Tong with an ugly face.

…………

"What are you talking about, Lai Mo, this is a murder case, how can I be calm? We need to run away, and we must get out of here before we get killed!! ”

Mrs. Tong couldn't control her frightened mood at all, and stood up and prepared to cry loudly.

…………

"Shut up, Tong Li!"

"No, no......... Come to Mo! Shall we run away? Be sure to run away! I want to go home soon!! Mrs. Tong sobbed profusely.

…………

Uncle Wang watched all this contemptuously, and asked the butler Rego, "Isn't there a spare key?" ”

"Unfortunately, we don't have a spare key." Grand Butler Rego hesitated slightly, slowly shook his head and said, "There is only one key for each door of the Wolf King Fang, and all the keys to the exit are strung together and kept by Lei Sheng. It was the keys that were taken away. Also, I have bad news. ”

"What is it?" Uncle Wang's expression as he stared at the big butler became more and more frightening.

…………

"The killer blocked the keyhole from the inside of the gate with small pieces of wood, and all the exit keyholes were sealed as a result. That is, we simply cannot try to pick a lock with something like wire. The murderer's scheming is too deep. ”

"How is that possible!!" Uncle Wang's fist slammed on the table, "Just knock the door open?" ”

"Yes! It is indeed possible to give it a try. Grand Butler Rego nodded calmly and said, "We can go to the kitchen or the blade room next to us to find some suitable weapons." There should be something like an iron nail rake, so let's try it out of it!! ”

…………

"Wait," Ma San said, "before we do, we need to clarify the situation." If you walk around the shop at will, you may probably fall into the hands of the murderer. ”

"Not bad." After thinking for a while, Uncle Wang said, "If the murderer is still in the Wolf King Fang, we shouldn't act alone." No matter where you go, you have to have more than two people working together. ”

…………

"King, uncle." Mo Si said in a dull tone, "You mean, the murderer is still hiding in this Wolf King Fang?" Liar, deceitful, right? The murderer must have locked the door from outside the gate and fled, right? ”

"Didn't you hear what the great butler just said? The gate is sealed with wood chips from the inside. In other words, the murderer must still be in the Wolf King Fang. ”

…………

"How the hell is this?"

"I just said that the murderer is going to destroy us all!!" Mrs. Tong shook her messy hair and said sharply.

…………

"Impossible!!" The flesh on Mo Si's face trembled, "Generally speaking, don't murderers flee the scene as soon as possible?" Wouldn't that be tantamount to telling someone to come and get me? ”

"Judging by common sense, that's good." Uncle Wang let out a sneer, "But, what if, as Mrs. Tong said, the murderer has not achieved his goal?" What if the murderer's real purpose, the plan to wipe us all out, had just begun? ”

…………

"Don't say it, Uncle Wang. Don't scare everyone, there is also Mrs. Tong here. Ma San quickly interrupted Uncle Wang's words.

"I'm just stating the facts."

"That's not right. Stirring up everyone's fear doesn't help things at all. Although we don't know who the murderer is, it is imperative to find out why the murderer wants to harm us. ”

…………

"The motive for harming people is whatever you want. The murderer may be a big devil......... Or maybe it's because one of us has been complaining for a long time, and then getting angry with the others to get rid of it. ”

"That's impossible!"

Ma San and Uncle Wang glared at each other, falling into a state of impregnance.

Everyone held their breath.

…………

"Please wait a minute" At this time, I suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Wang, Mr. Ma San, how about using the Tiger Cave?" Isn't there still this secret passage? ”

When the Grand Butler Rego heard this, he turned his head to confirm with Gu Zi, and shook his head sadly, "Master Lu, it's a pity that there is no way there. Guzi had already gone to see it, and the iron door at the exit of the cave was also locked, and of course, it was also sealed with sawdust. ”

…………

"I don't believe it." When I heard this, I was very disappointed and felt weak.

"I'll have to check once." Uncle Wang said in an unkind tone, "Guzi, how many doors are there in the Wolf King Fang that lead to the outside?" ”

The chief butler of Rego motioned for Guzi to answer.

"There is a gate, and then there is the exit of the underground secret tunnel tiger cave, and there is no one next to it." Guzi stood up straight and said respectfully.

…………

"If you can't get out of the courtyard gate, what about climbing the wall?" Uncle Wang then said, "I remember that there is a wooden ladder in the blade room?" Can you put up the courtyard wall and try to climb out or something? ”

"No way. The four courtyard walls of the Wolf King Fang are more than two feet high, and they are covered with moss. Although there is indeed a wooden ladder in the blade room on the first floor, it is an old antiquity, and it can't bear people, and it has to be traverse as soon as you go up. Gu Zi's expression looked a little sad.

…………

"In other words, if you want to go outside the Wolf King Square, you have to climb the courtyard wall, but you can't climb up now, right?"

"Yes. The courtyard walls are too high. ”

"Damn!"

…………

In this way, there is no way to escape from the Wolf King Fang.........

Unless you can fly like a crow, you can't escape.

In addition, there is no way to communicate with the outside world in the Wolf King Fang.

…………

"Can you go up to the third floor?" Ma Sancha came.

"No, Mr. Ma San. There are also wooden doors on the stairway leading to the third floor, and although the keyhole is not sealed, it is also locked. Moreover, the windows there are the same as on the second floor, and even if you go in, you can't leave this wolf king square. The butler replied.

"In that case, the murderer may also be hiding there!" Uncle Wang stared at the big butler with wide eyes.

"yes, it must be so!!" Ma San also replied excitedly.

…………

"We sealed the wooden door from the outside, and we could use furniture as a barricade. In this way, not only can the murderer be locked up, but also self-preservation. Uncle Wang clenched his fists and slammed the table hard.

"But, but." Mo Si said with a worried face, "What if the murderer isn't there?" ”

"We'll talk about it then. Anyway, the situation is just as dangerous now, if the murderer is hiding in a room in the cellar. ”

…………

In addition, Mrs. Tong's concern just now is also possible, and the murderer may be among us.

…………

"Big butler, is there a place where you can communicate with the outside world?" Uncle Wang returned to his original words.

"Not at all. This wolf king workshop is located in the deep forest, and the owner of the workshop was originally built to escape the world........." the big butler shook his head tiredly and said.

…………

"No, it's useless, it's useless! We're going to be like Lei Sheng, definitely!! Mrs. Tong began to cry hysterically again.

…………

"I—what the hell are we going to do?" I said in despair.

"Anyway, stay calm." Ma San coughed dryly and said, "We must think calmly, panicking will not help the current situation." In addition to finding out who the killer is, we must also find a way to escape from here. There must be a way. ”

…………

"Let's take a break, and then set up a barricade on the third floor." Uncle Wang nodded in agreement, "The roadblock will be set up by everyone to act together and complete it as soon as possible." ”

…………

…………

"Where's the food?" Mo Si shouted with a pale face, "Is there anything else to eat?" Are there enough water and food? ”

"Butler Lei?" Ma San asked with a solemn face.

"No problem. It can hold out for a while. There is a lot of food stored in the kitchen, and there is also a lot of water in the big tank in the kitchen. It can last for at least seven days. Butler Rego replied.

…………

"That being said, it's better for us to save a bit. We didn't know how many days we would be locked up here. Uncle Wang continued.

Everyone nodded silently.

…………

We're just like someone just said.

Imprisoned in this wolf king's fang.

We are the ones who are locked up in this wolf king's house, and the murderers are also mixed in with our group.

The only people who really understand the horror and crisis shown by this fact are me and Uncle Wang.

…………

…………

"Then let's go to the third floor and block the wooden door on the stairway! Resting all the time is just waiting in vain"

Uncle Wang stood up and mentioned it, but was interrupted by the grand butler Rego.

The butler's expression looked like he was contemplating something.

…………

"Can you wait a while? Uncle Wang. Until then, we have another thing that must be resolved. ”

"What's the matter?"

"From now on, we are people in the same boat, and there can be no pretense between us. In other words, if you are hiding something, you can make it clear now. ”

"Concealment? What do you mean? Uncle Wang said with a bored face.

…………

"There are many meanings. Now it means that everyone is hiding their true identity. The big butler looked around and said.

"Identity?" The words of the chief butler made Uncle Wang panic slightly.

My heart was full of surprise, too, but I tried not to show it.

…………

"Not bad." The chief butler looked around at everyone and bowed his head deeply, "Those people present, some people hide their true identities. Can we really trust such a person after such a terrible incident? ”

"What do you mean by hiding your identity, Butler Lei?" Ma San narrowed his eyes and said, "As you know, the six of us are all from Ten Mile City. We have already told you who we are and what we have experienced. ”

"Yes, yes!" Mo Si looked anxious, "Yes, we all feel sorry for what happened to Lei Sheng. I can understand why you suspect us, but you misunderstood........."

…………

Mrs. Tong and Lai Mo, who were confused, both looked at each other with uneasy expressions.

"You seem to be underestimating my strength and my people's ability to gather clues." The chief butler looked at us with a cold gaze.

"Underestimate ........." Ma San was full of surprise.

…………

"How?" The butler looked at each of us with his eyes in turn, "I propose that the man with the secret should be honest with everyone before I point it out?" ”

"W-What's the secret?" Mo Si, whose face turned blue, asked rhetorically.

…………

"I don't know anything!! What the hell is going on, don't say that kind of strange thing, okay? Mrs. Tong shouted.

Everyone looked suspicious, but no one spoke.

…………

"The Great Butler." Uncle Wang said provocatively, "Don't sell Guanzi, just say what you want to say!" ”

"Then you're welcome. There is one of you who uses a false name and wears a mask to impersonate someone else. The chief butler smiled slightly, but his eyes were as cold as ice, "Do you want to know who that person is?" Uncle Wang. ”

…………

"I want to know." Many beads of sweat broke out on Uncle Wang's forehead.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of the butler's mouth, and he looked around us in order.

We had to swallow our saliva and wait for his words.

Then he held out his hand and pointed straight at one of us: "It's him." ”

…………

…………

We were amazed, and looked with bated breath at the butler's fingers.

In the direction the butler was pointing, sat a man with a blue face and a furrowed brow.

…………

"You said it was Laimo?" Ma San said in surprise.

"Really?" Mo Si stood up and raised his tone in surprise.

"You—What do you say about me?" Lai Mo roared angrily, as if he wanted to regain his majesty.

…………

Mrs. Tong, who was beside Lai Mo, couldn't understand the sudden change in the situation, but just sat there with a look of surprise and a blank face.

…………

"What I'm trying to say is, you're a liar." The butler had a contemptuous look on his face, and his tone was calm and resolute.

…………

"What are you talking about? What to say laughed! Although you are the master of the Wolf King Fang, your speech should also be serious!! Lai Mo argued angrily.

"Butler, what the hell is going on? Could you please explain? "Uncle Wang is coming.

"As soon as you hear his real name, you should immediately understand. Brother Lai Mo said that he was born in Ten Mile City and was also the shopkeeper of an inn, but this was all a lie, no, he was indeed running an inn, but he was not from Ten Mile City, and his past and experience were almost fabricated. ”

…………

"What are you kidding, it's all nonsense! What about the evidence? Lai Mo retorted angrily.

"Am I talking nonsense?" The chief butler asked calmly.

…………

"Of course, hey Mo Si! It doesn't matter if he's the owner or whatever, do you just let him talk nonsense? Lai Mo blushed and stood up.

"Wait, Laimo." Uncle Wang interrupted him, "Let the chief butler finish speaking, and you can refute it later." Is that okay? ”

…………

"Humph!!" Lai Mo showed a resentful look in his eyes, don't turn his face.

…………

"Butler Rego, may I ask what is the true identity of Lai Mo?" Uncle Wang urged.

"He is actually a sea thief in the western sea of the northern country, and his real name is Yang Laimo. How is it? Uncle Wang, you've probably heard of this name, right? ”

Said the Grand Butler Rego.

…………

"I see, that's ........." Uncle Wang's eyes suddenly widened, and then stared at Lai Mo with a sharp gaze, "It turns out that this guy is Yang Laimo." I didn't expect such a big prey to hide next to me. His appearance is so different from the portraits I've seen before that I can't really recognize him if you don't say it. ”

"Of course, he should have been easy to pass when he fled from the north to the western sea."

…………

"What the hell is going on? Come to Mo, what are these people talking about you? Mrs. Tong's eyes were full of fear, and she looked at the three of them interchangeably.

Uncle Wang approached Lai Mo with an arrogant attitude, and his eyes bit him tightly, "Mrs. Tong, this guy is a Jiangyang thief." He became famous more than ten years ago, but when he was being hunted, he went to sea by boat to become a pirate and became a wanted criminal. ”

…………

"The wanted criminal, Yang Laimo......... I've heard of Li Mo as soon as I hear about it, where did this Yang Laimo come from? ”

“……… Uncle Wang, what did he do? A few doubts arose in my mind.

…………

Lai Mo's face was distorted with resentment, and a pair of red eyes were staring at me.

…………

"This person has done a lot of things, including looting, burning, and looting, and he can be said to be a representative of Jiangyang thieves back then." Uncle Wang's whole body trembled with anger.

The big butler slowly moved his gaze to Lai Mo, "Okay, how about it?" Laimo, do you have anything to refute? ”

"Humph!! What if I'm really the Jiangyang thief you said? Even if my name is fake, it has nothing to do with the murder that happened here. Could it be that you just say that I hurt Lei Sheng? Lai Mo said with an indifferent expression.

…………

"Yes! Of course. The chief butler replied solemnly.

"Wait a minute. Even if Lai Mo was really a Jiangyang thief, why did Uncle Wang know so clearly? Ma Sancha said.

Grand Butler Rego and Uncle Wang glanced at each other.

Finally, the chief butler replied, "Actually, there is one of you who hides his true identity. That is, Wang Bono, rightly speaking, he should be called the king's lawyer. He is actually a guard of Ten Mile City, and he is also a very powerful mountain hunter. This seems to be known only to Lu Lawyer. ”

…………

"What? He's a guard? Mo Siqi shouted. This is indeed a bolt from the blue for those who don't know anything.

…………

"So, in order to capture Lai Mo, Wang Lawyer went to great lengths to sneak into us as an undercover agent?" Ma San didn't seem to be very happy about being kept in the dark.

"No, it's not." The chief butler of Rego shook his head and said, "He probably mistakenly thought that I was the Jiangyang thief named Yang Laimo, and he came here to visit me!" Or does he think there are some mysterious treasures hidden in this wolf king's workshop, Wang Lawyer? ”

…………

Uncle Wang did not refute.

"That's about it. However, this is how I have a chance to catch such a big prey. It is a blessing for me and for the people of the world. ”

"You're going to capture me?" Lai Mo immediately put on a fighting posture and said.

…………

"Of course, I've been running for this for the past ten years. Your identity has been revealed, and there is no escape. However, in fact, no one can leave this wolf king square now. ”

…………

"I declare first, I am not the river thief or sea thief you said. I'm the real Lai Mo. ”

“……… I was born as a native of Ten Mile City. When I get home, I can show you the evidence. What a laugh! Why do I have to be stigmatized by you? ”

…………

"It's useless." Uncle Wang sneered proudly, "Now that your identity has been revealed, the mask you wore before is useless. Moreover, there are indeed a lot of irrationalities about your past. ”

"Bastard! I actually listened to the nonsense of the big butler. Isn't that guy himself a suspicious character of unknown origin, you can also help me talk, Tong Li!! ”

…………
