Chapter 18 Under Complete Captivity
At the end of the dark staircase, a crushed coffee cup appeared on the carpet, many small fragments had been intertwined with the fibers on the carpet, dark red with white ceramic, which looked very strange.
The chandelier on the roof of the room was not completely extinguished, but flickered and made a final struggle, and the chandelier shook violently and creaked, as if it could fall from the roof at any moment.
In the flickering light, a man slumped over the large oval table, a knocked coffee cup at his hand, brown stains smeared on the tablecloth.
The man was lying on his stomach with his hands hanging at his sides, the stools on both sides of his seat were overturned to the ground, on the edge of the stool, a woman was slumped on the ground, her head was leaning on the bottom edge of the sofa, the person was arched like a shrimp, the short skirt was probably hooked to the ground when it fell to the ground, it was lifted to the waist, the gray stockings were completely exposed, there was a brown stain on the thigh of the stockings, and the white coffee cup on the thigh was very eye-catching.
The woman was wearing a pink blouse with red stains on the collar and cuffs, faintly looking like blood, and her wrist seemed to be injured, with a large bruise on it.
On the balcony of the room, under the floor-to-ceiling curtains, there were two people on the left and right, one of whom was a tall and thin young man, who was lying on the carpet, clutching a coffee cup in one hand, which had been broken in half and a crack in the handle. Most of the body of the person in front of the tall and thin man's head was covered by curtains, his face was facing the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, and the reflection from the wall was very rough, so that people could see at a glance that it was a man, this person looked much older than the tall and thin man, and his body was fat, and a hand exposed from the curtain was fleshy.
There was no coffee cup beside him, but on the couch not far away, there was a coffee cup that had not been knocked over, and the coffee in it had been drunk.
At the other end of the table, where it was connected to the balcony, a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old sat on the carpet, her back to the steps of the room, her head was buried low, her face could not be seen clearly, her short hair almost covered her face, unkempt, she was wearing a black T-shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans, she did not see the injury, but she was also as motionless as the people just now.
The clock behind the little girl made a ticking sound and was running normally, and the painting hanging next to the clock could only see the knight's face, and the demon was completely hidden in the darkness......

"Whewβit's finally lit up, and it looks like the wires are still working." Xie Yunmeng's manly voice sounded, and Mrs. Lucifer immediately walked to his side, to be honest, most women couldn't resist this kind of voice.
After blowing out the useless candle in his hand and throwing it on the table, the candle bone rolled around, and he touched a 'companion' that had long been extinguished, which was probably left by Mrs. Lucifer just now.
Xie Yunmeng strode to the edge of the balcony and helped Mo Haiyou, who was still sitting on the ground, to help up with Yun Yeyao, Mo Haiyou's naked feet looked very miserable, wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, almost soaked in blood, it seemed impossible to walk.
After a few polite words of concern from Mrs. Lucifer, everyone's attention was focused on the unusual condition of the house, which was the most important thing at the moment.
"Xiao Meng, Xiao Zuo, what do you think is going on?" Yun Yeyao did not express his opinion directly, but became an inquirer.
Mo Haiyou got up and looked around, his gaze stayed on the balcony glass, and said, "We sank to the bottom of the mountain, you see, the sea is no longer visible outside, it is all rocks." But what I don't understand is how this house could suddenly sink and not collapse? If the foundation was loose, the house would have been destroyed by shaking like the one just now, right? But now you see, the roof is intact, and the furniture has only moved slightly. Only small things such as candlesticks and ashtrays fell to the ground. The wires are still usable. β
"Yes, this is too weird, Xiao Zuo, what do you think we should do now?" Yun Yeyao asked immediately, with a look of dependence, perhaps because he was too scared, and he was completely the same as when he first came.
Mo Haiyou no longer accused him of calling his name wrong, but continued to analyze him, and the other two people naturally listened to his analysis on the side, and the frightened expression on the face of Mrs. Lucifer could completely infect anyone's emotions.
"I don't think it's possible for this house to collapse all of a sudden, there must be some mechanism here, something attached to it when the house was built."
"Are you saying that it's like an elevator, with some kind of mechanism or device, and then you can sink the house into the mountain when you need it?" Xie Yunmeng interjected and said that after being with the other two people for a long time, Xie Yunmeng's analytical ability seemed to have increased a lot.
Mo Haiyou agreed with his words very much, and said to Mrs. Lucifer: "Your ex-husband is the first owner of this house, and he should know everything about the structure of the house, why didn't he tell you about it at all?" β
"I don't know, maybe we have been married for too short a time and our personalities are not harmonious, so he didn't tell me." Mrs. Lucifer said hesitantly.
"Then we can only check it ourselves, now my feet can't move, Officer Xie, you work hard, and pay attention to Xiao Yao's safety." Mo Haiyou was indeed a little discouraged, but his foot was injured at this time, making him unable to act according to his wishes.
As they spoke, Mrs. Lucifer suddenly let out an exclamation: "Ahhh My friends!! How did I forget them all!! β
"yes, we didn't think about it either, hurry up and go down and have a look!!" Xie Yunmeng jumped up, how could they forget so many people? Maybe it's because there's no sound in the basement.
Let go of the hand holding Mo Haiyou, Xie Yunmeng, who took the lead in rushing into the basement, was stopped by Mo Haiyou: "Wait a minute, now there is a murder here, and the house is also in a strange state, in case the murderer hides in the basement and waits for an opportunity to attack, it will be dangerous for you to rush down like this, call the police first, and then call the people in the basement, now the door under the stairs is not closed, it is best if they can come up by themselves, we try our best to stay in this upper room and not leave." β
Hurriedly agreeing to Mo Haiyou's words, Xie Yunmeng hurriedly began to look for his mobile phone, but as soon as he looked for it, he found that something was wrong, all the mobile phones were gone, even Mrs. Lucifer's own mobile phone could not be found, and Xie Yunmeng and Mrs. Lucifer also found a serious problem, the phone line was also cut.
"This, what can I do ?!!?" Mrs. Lucifer was so anxious that she had no master and circled in place. The hands and the body in the loose clothes were trembling.
Xie Yunmeng also panicked, in this way, it is equivalent to being completely isolated from the outside world, this is a remote place, tourists on the beach will not come at all, if there is no communication tool, don't they have to wait for death in this underground villa?
Yun Yeyao leaned on Mo Haiyou's side and looked at him with a look of help, as if to say: 'Xiao Zuo, think of a way, hurry up.' β
It was Mo Haiyou who calmed down first, and he said to everyone: "We can't mess with ourselves, Officer Xie, you first shout to see if the people in the basement have reacted, and let the living people gather together." Ma'am, how many days is enough food and water in this villa? β
"It can last about two to three days, and if the tap water is not cut off, the water is not a problem because there is electricity, and the coffee machine and induction cooker and electric kettle can be used normally. For food, just the ones in the refrigerator in the kitchen downstairs, saving a little bit should be able to sustain it for three days. β
"Is there a refrigerator upstairs?"
"No, the kitchen and bathroom are downstairs."
"Looks like we're ......"
"Forensic Doctor Mo," Xie Yunmeng interjected, "The people downstairs didn't react at all, what should we do?" β
"Food, water, most of the daily necessities are downstairs, it seems that we can only change directions, go! Let's go to the living room on the second floor to see the situation, the lights downstairs haven't turned on yet, so don't scatter. β
"And what about this corpse?" Yun Yeyao asked, and there was some pity in his eyes as he looked at Yujin's corpse.
Mo Haiyou glanced back and said, "There is no other way, now we have to save our own lives, we can only throw him here, time can not be wasted, let's hurry downstairs." β
