Chapter 33: The Statue
Li Chenfeng and the others walked around the sculptor's house and found a sign next to his gate with the words "Sculptor - Chen Taiyuan" written on it.
"It turns out that this guy's name is Chen Taiyuan, why do I feel that this name is somewhat familiar?"
Taozi took out a large string of dozens of keys from his bag and said: "You may have heard his name on TV, after all, this guy's fame is really big, I heard that one of his works was auctioned for a high price of 8 million last year." ”
Taozi took the bunch of keys and looked at the keyhole of the mansion one by one, Li Chenfeng shrugged his nose and said, "What are you doing here, maybe you have the keys to his house here?" ”
Taozi smiled and said: "That's not true, but maybe it can be opened, after all, I finally spent a lot of money to get this string of things from the thief, we have visited a lot of mansions before, and the door is all opened by me." ”
"Tinkering with these crooked things all day long, you still look like a student there."
Taozi sighed and said, "If it weren't for my parents forcing me, I wouldn't want to go to this school for a long time, how interesting it would be to follow Zebo and Xiaoyu around the Yin Mansion all day long." ”
Li Chenfeng sneered, thinking that these three guys who were reincarnated into a rich family would simply ruin such a good background, if they were placed in the countryside in the seventies and eighties, they would definitely become full gods when they grew up.
"I said, there are too many locks in the sky, and you may not be able to try out these dozens of keys."
Taozi said: "You don't know this, although there are many locks in this world, but the principles are not much different, my string is a collection of various typical locks of the key." And when the lock is opened, it does not have to be completely cut with the lock, sometimes the lock can be pierced open when the fit reaches more than 60%, and even if necessary, the lock can be destroyed directly through the key, so that the lock can also be opened. ”
Li Chenfeng snorted disapprenorantly, thinking that these guys can't study, and they can endure these crooked ways more than anyone else.
Taozi was tinkering there for most of the day, and suddenly he only heard a click, and the anti-theft lock of this mansion was really stabbed open by him.
Taozi raised his eyebrows at Li Chenfeng, and said with a smile: "How is it, Brother Chenfeng, I didn't brag." ”
Li Chenfeng smiled slightly and nodded. "Okay, count your kid ability."
They slowly pushed open the door, the light in the room was dim, and the surrounding windows were covered with thick curtains, making it difficult for outside light to shine in.
The smell of plaster dust filled the humid air, and they walked slowly through the soft carpet, and in order not to arouse suspicion from the outside world, Zebo closed the door again.
After getting used to the dim light in the house, Li Chenfeng saw that they should be in the living room, which was very spacious, extending more than ten meters from a carpet at the door, to the coffee table and sofa inside, some oil paintings were hung on the surrounding walls, and there were more than a dozen statues neatly standing on both sides of the strip carpet.
They noticed that the statues were life-size and all of them were naked maiden figures, which easily reminded them of the legend that the statue hid its body.
The postures of these statues are different, the tall, short, fat and thin of the human body are also very different, the only thing that is the same is the expression of their faces, which seem to be calm, but they seem to smile slightly, and if you look at it more, you can feel that there are very complex feelings hidden in them, such as sadness, and like despair......
Obviously, Li Chenfeng and the three high school students had the same feeling, that is, these statues made them very uncomfortable, they looked at these statues quietly, and they wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it.
After a stalemate for more than a minute, Taozi suddenly said loudly: "It must be right, those corpses must be hidden in these sculptures!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the hammer used for carving on the table next to him, trying to smash a sculpture in front of him.
Xiaoyu was very timid, she was afraid that there was really a corpse hidden in the statue, so she hurriedly retreated behind Li Chenfeng.
Taozi's hammer was about to be knocked down, but Li Chenfeng suddenly stopped him. "Wait, I've heard that those rich mansions like to install some cameras to prevent theft, do you think he will have them in this house, if he smashes the statue and there is no body in it, that guy will make us lose money."
Taozi looked a little speechless. "I said Brother Morrowind, why didn't you say this until now, if he really had a camera in this house, it would have been considered a trespass from the moment we entered the house."
Zebo said, "I knew I should have covered my face." ”
Taozi shook his head: "After all, it's the first time to do this kind of thing, and it's inevitable that you are a little unprepared." There's not so much to do now, so let's get down to business and look for the camera in his house. ”
As she spoke, she smashed her hammer down on the sculpture in front of her, only to hear a thud, and the statue's head fell off and fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
When they looked closely, it was clear that the sculpture was solid.
Immediately afterwards, Taozi knocked on its body again, and there was still no so-called corpse in the broken sculpture.
"It's not scientific......"
At this time, Zebo picked up another hammer and said, "Try a few more." ”
So the two of them smashed seven or eight statues in a row, but they still didn't find anything.
Li Chenfeng sighed. "This is a problem."
Xiao Yu looked around and said: "Maybe he put the sculpture with the corpse hidden somewhere else, after all, this kind of thing is still too dangerous to put in the living room, he has to entertain so many visiting guests every day, if he accidentally breaks the statue, wouldn't it be equivalent to throwing himself into a net." ”
Taozi nodded. "Well, what Xiaoyu said makes sense, Brother Chenfeng, let's look in other rooms."
As he spoke, Taozi and the others walked directly up the stairs to the second floor, but Li Chenfeng stood there without moving.
He frowned and looked around the living room, feeling as if something unknown was around him, as he felt the little wooden man on his chest tremble. Since this time he was here to investigate things related to people, he didn't bring tears to his eyes, so he began to feel a little panicked.
Because according to the painted skin, the effect of the little wooden man is to protect him from harm, which means that when it reacts, there must be ghosts around it that threaten Li Chenfeng. To put it another way, even if there are ghosts around, as long as they don't have the idea of hurting Li Chenfeng, the little wooden people will not react.
Li Chenfeng originally suspected that it was the ghosts of those girls, but he thought that he was here to rescue them, they should have no reason to harm him, and there were only a small number of souls imprisoned here, so it was impossible for them to pose a threat to people.
That is to say, there is only one possibility left, there are other ghosts in this house, and they are evil ghosts that may harm them at any time, regardless of whether there is a corpse hidden in the statue or not, it is certain that this Chen Taiyuan must not be simple.
