Tang Qianlin walked out of the hexagonal pavilion, looked at the people standing outside with a frightened face, looked at the female handyman who was screaming earlier, and asked, "What happened just now?" ”

The handywoman froze and said, "I just heard what the young lady was saying loudly, and I seemed to be very angry, so I came out to take a look, got dressed and walked into the courtyard, and I saw a shadow on the window of the hexagonal pavilion, as if someone was hanging there." ”

Ye Da came out and asked, "So you just pushed the door and looked?" ”

The handywoman shook her head: "No, where do I dare!" I was frightened, and thought that the ghost of the old man had returned, so I was about to call the others, but who knew that at this moment the door suddenly opened, and I saw the young lady hanging there......"

Tang Qianlin stepped forward and asked, "How long did it take for you to leave the house after you heard the young lady speak loudly?" ”

The handywoman said, "I'm going to get dressed for a while." ”

Ye Da walked to Tang Qianlin's side and analyzed in a low voice: "When she heard An Ran speak loudly, she should be reprimanding us, and then the three of us walked towards the gate, in terms of time, it was almost at this time that she got dressed and walked outside the hexagonal pavilion. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "But at that time, the three of us were at the door?" Even if you close the door safely and run back, it's too late? ”

Ye Dadao: "She first saw the shadow on the window, and then the door opened, and it was too late. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "No matter if the time is in time or not, Enron will not kill himself in this way, right?" Rushing to commit suicide? ”

Although the conversation between the two was quiet, it was still heard by the subordinates in front of them.

The handyman asked, "You said, did you see the young lady before?" ”

Tang Qianlin said calmly: "We sneaked in just now, and the young lady found us, reprimanded us, and sent us to the door." ”

Hearing this, the faces of several subordinates changed greatly, and the handyman said: "Impossible, the young lady was already dead at that time, and what you saw was a ghost!" ”

The other subordinates turned pale and rushed into the house.

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "There are no ghosts in this world, there must be something strange." ”

Ye Da said: "Before Mo Di comes, hurry up and check the hexagonal pavilion, there must be a mechanism inside." ”

Tang Qianlin and Ye Da returned to the hexagonal pavilion, Tang Qianlin said while inspecting, "Even if there is a mechanism, how can you explain what happened before?" We saw An Ran come in, and she appeared outside the pavilion again, and while sending us out, she hanged herself here? ”

Ye Da's eyes were fixed on An Ran's corpse on the side: "I'm also confused, what's going on?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Maybe this person is not Enron?" ”

Ye Da stepped forward and stroked An Ran's face carefully, then raised his eyes to look at Tang Qianlin and said, "There is no trace of disfigurement." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Maybe she is a person who looks the same as An Ran?" In short, I don't believe that there are ghosts, even Asda who I saw in the red clay tun, he admitted to himself that he was not a god or a ghost. Taking a step back, even if there are ghosts, what is the motive of ghosts? If there are no ghosts, then what is Enron's motive? ”

Ye Da looked up at the rope on the pavilion beam that was cut by Tang Qianlin: "If the dead An Guotao is also a stand-in, then why did the real An Guotao run to the kitchen?" Is it because you're hungry? ”

"Don't think about it yet." Tang Qianlin came to the table, "Let's look for the mechanism first, generally speaking, the objects that open the mechanism are fixed, so let's find out if there is anything in the pavilion that can't be moved." ”

After the two searched, they found that not only the tables and chairs in the pavilion were fixed, but even the inkstones and pen holders on the table were also fixed, but it seemed that these were not the objects that opened the mechanism.

Ye Da got up: "No." ”

Tang Qianlin looked around: "Look for it again, there must be a mechanism, otherwise there is no way to explain." ”

After searching again, Tang Qianlin found that the inner ring of the inkstone could be rotated.

Tang Qianlin motioned for Ye to reach the table, and he pressed the inner ring and turned it around, but nothing happened.

Ye Da squatted down, looked at the bottom of the table, knocked it with his hand, and found that some parts were hollow, and some places were solid, which means that there must be a mechanism in the table, what is the way to open it?

Suddenly, Tang Qianlin and Ye Da both looked at the window, and the two immediately started to check the window separately, but they didn't find anything on the window where the mechanism could be activated.

Tang Qianlin patted the window: "Where is it?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qianlin saw the door: "I know!" ”

Tang Qianlin stepped forward, closed the door gently, turned around to look, and motioned for Ye Da to be quiet, but nothing happened.

Tang Qianlin thought about it, opened the door again, and then closed it again, after this switch, he obviously heard a crisp "click" sound from the table in the pavilion.

Tang Qianlin's gaze fell on the inkstone: "Go and turn that inkstone!" ”

After Ye Da turned the inkstone, the chair next to the table moved back about half a meter, and then the two saw the stone slab under the table open, and a passage appeared in front of the two of them.

Ye Da looked at the tunnel and asked, "How do you know that the place to open the mechanism is the door?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I thought that when we saw An Ran enter the hexagonal pavilion before, open the door and close the door, and when we went in again, there would be no people, so I thought that the mechanism might be on the door." The door itself is something that should be opened, so most people don't expect it to open the mechanism. And there is also a skill in opening the mechanism, which must be opened and then closed, and if the interval is too long, the mechanism will be reset and must be started again, so as to avoid being easily discovered. ”

Ye Da looked at the ground and said, "You say, what will be next?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Do you remember what Fan Gu said to Yi Mochen?" ”

Ye Dadao: "You mean the moat between the ruins of the ancient city of Bohai Kingdom and the periphery?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, the Japanese later filled in the moat, and now the Anjia village is built on the moat." ”

Ye Dadao: "You mean, there's a moat down there?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "The matter of filling the moat is very strange in itself, even if the river is filled, why should the An family build a house on it?" ”

Ye Da thought for a while and said, "According to what you say, could it be that the purpose of establishing this Gongrong Village is to cover up the secrets below?" ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "If this is really the case, then Kenji Ishihara and An Guotao are all in a group, and even the suicide of him and his daughter is part of this plan." ”

Ye Dadao: "What about the purpose? ”

Tang Qianlin said: "The purpose is very simple, it is to lead us to investigate, I think, there must be something below that they can't solve, and they can't directly let us solve it, so just take this method to lure us into the game." ”

Ye Dadao: "It makes sense, then let's go down?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It's all come to this point, if you don't go down, you can't go." ”

The two of them went into the tunnel and slowly descended the stairs below, but because they did not carry flashlights and torches, they could only keep moving forward in the dark.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two of them came to a hole that had been dug up, and there were torches on both sides of the hole.

Ye Da took out a torch and looked inside the hole: "It's obviously a trace of human excavation." ”

Tang Qianlin signaled Ye Da not to rush in, first took the wind ruler and put it on the ground to test it, then picked it up again and said, "There is not the slightest wind blowing, but there is air, which is very strange." ”

The two men each held torches and walked slowly towards the depths of the cavern, seeing discarded tools along the way, most of them damaged, and many footprints, but no bodies or corpses were seen.

"It looks like these tools have been abandoned here for a short time." Ye Da looked ahead carefully, "The ground is very wet, it looks like the moat was filled in and the excavation was re-excavated. ”

The two of them stepped on the damp soft soil and continued to move towards the depths, and suddenly, they saw two people standing in front of them.

Tang Qianlin and Ye Da stopped and stopped, while Tang Qianlin clenched the phoenix spear in his hand, Ye Da held the torch high, looked forward, and found that it was An Ran and an old man they had never seen before.

"You're finally here." Enron smiled, "It's a little slower than I expected." ”

Ye Da asked, "Miss An, you really planned all this." ”

"No, I'm not that smart yet." An Ran walked up to the old man, "My father-in-law planned it. ”

Tang Qianlin held the torch high and looked at the expressionless old man beside An Ran, could it be said that he was the real An Guotao?

But at this time, Ye Da suddenly asked: "Where is Prince An?" ”

Tang Qianlin looked at Ye Da in surprise, could it be that the person standing next to An Ran was not An Guotao?

An Ran sighed: "Baimi is sparse, this game can't be played, this masked friend seems to know my stepfather, this is interesting." ”

The old man still stood there, not moving, but his expression was slightly embarrassed.

Tang Qianlin asked Ye Da in a low voice: "Isn't that old man An Guotao?" ”

Ye Da shook his head: "Absolutely not." ”

Tang Qianlin understood something, he looked at An Ran and said: "Whether it is the one who died, or the one who went to the kitchen to eat later, or the one standing in front of him now, it is just An Guotao's stand-in, An Guotao himself is not in Gongrong Village at all!" ”

An Ran said: "That's right, it seems that our plan was so smooth before, a large part of it depends on luck, if this masked friend has seen the corpse, my stepfather's game will be found out immediately." ”

Indeed, Ye Da, the only one here who has seen and knows An Guotao, has not had the opportunity to see the so-called An Guotao's corpse with his own eyes.

Tang Qianlin asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

An Ran said: "The original plan was to use the weird and flawed 'haunting' to attract you to find the mechanism of the Hexagonal Pavilion, and then come here, and then use this old man to pretend to be my father, and by the way, tell you that the previous two are stand-ins, so that you will not suspect that this person next to me is also a stand-in, but unfortunately, the mask friend knows my stepfather, so this game can't be played." ”

Ye Dadao: "Here, there are a total of three stand-ins for Prince An, two of which are twins?" And you, Miss An, also have a stand-in, the one who hanged herself earlier? ”

An Ran said: "Yes, they are all disciples that my stepfather has secretly raised for many years, just to play a role at a critical time, so as long as my stepfather orders them, they will do whatever they want, even if they die." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "You went around such a big circle just to lure me down?" Why bother? It's better to be honest with me. ”

"There are many reasons why we have to go around such a big circle, we have to fool the other people in Gongrong Village, especially the guy named Mo Di, he is a pure idealist." An Ran slowly walked up to Tang Qianlin, "The reason why my stepfather and Ishihara Kenji want to establish Gongei Village is to cover up the secret below, my stepfather doesn't want this secret to fall into the hands of others, and Ishihara Kenji doesn't want this secret to fall into the hands of his opponent Kyoji Miyake, these are the answers you want to know." ”
