Chapter Twenty-Five: The Triple Mystery of the Devil—Climax III

After excitement and fear, Luo Yifan gradually calmed down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This is not the time to mess with ourselves. Luo Yifan admonished himself.

If the murderer can come in or out, then I can. '

Luo Yifan thought in his heart, adjusted his mood, and began to carefully re-search the room little by little.

The first thing to do is to stop the last two doors so that they don't close by the killer again.

Luo Yifan began to mobilize his gray brain cells with all his might.

'Where's the door that came out of the chamber and pushed it open?' Luo Yifan looked down on the ground.

After a while, he found it, and it turned out to be lying sideways at the junction of the study and the bedroom.

Luo Yifan picked up the door panel with both hands, trying to find a way to get it stuck in the door frame between the two rooms.

Then he noticed a strange thing - the door here has two jambs!

So Luo Yifan first used the door panel in his hand to jam the extra door frame on the door between the study and the bedroom, and the door panel was relatively small, so it could only be stuck there diagonally.

Then crouched under the frame of the door between the study and the hallway, looking up.

This look made him see a little doorway: the original extra door frame was set up for the wooden fence gate that popped out.

The upper part of the door frame is empty, and the bottom of the wooden fence door hidden in the wall is faintly visible.

"I see." Luo Yifan understood, this is like a double door in an ordinary home.

In the past, there were always two doors in ordinary people's homes, a wooden door, and an iron security door on the outside.

The same is true here, except that the security door is hidden.

After figuring out the mystery of the door, Luo Yifan returned to the study, moved over the small round white desk he had just bumped into, and leaned over and stuck between the door between the study and the corridor.

As a result, the door panel that was knocked down when the passage came out of the secret room blocked the door between the bedroom and the study, and the only small table in the study blocked the door between the study and the corridor.

No matter how much the murderer activates the mechanism, it is impossible to seal these two doors.

And there is a small space under the stuck places on both sides, and Luo Yifan believes that he can definitely come and go freely with his flexibility.

At this time, Luo Yifan was in the study, and he simply acted in the study first.

The boxy study room is clear at a glance, and it is impossible to see that there is anything famous. However, demolition is not necessarily.

Luo Yifan made up his mind and began to dismantle the bookcase on the south wall of this study, moving in his hands, and the doubts in his heart were gradually deepening.

However, the deeper the doubts in his heart, the more powerful Luo Yifan felt that he had.

His hands quickly removed the planks from the bookcase one by one, almost forgetting the hunger, thirst and fatigue he had been since the previous night.

The two bookcases in the study are bolted, and the plank in the middle is not nailed, so the plank can be easily removed by pulling out the strip used as a latch.

The unloaded wooden planks were randomly piled up in a corner of the study by Luo Yifan, and for Luo Yifan, these things were fine as long as they did not block the passage.

Maybe they'll be of unintended use." Luo Yifan thought.

In fact, when it was demolished, Luo Yifan always had an urge to use these hard wooden boards to knock the murderer's head off.

Now Luo Yifan doesn't care about his life and death, he just wants to avenge his lover, find out the murderer, and return a tooth for a tooth.

When he touched the white rabbit gold and jade just now, Luo Yifan was completely dead, how could he not recognize what he had been thinking about all along? Don't recognize the unique taste of your lover?

Luo Yifan feels that his life is no longer complete, you say, who cares about an incomplete life? At least Luo Yifan didn't care.

That's why he was able to get rid of fear and helplessness, forget hunger, thirst and fatigue, and muster courage again.

However, courage alone is not enough, and there are still many problems that he needs to solve in order to find the murderer alive.

First of all, Luo Yifan wants to figure out why the murderer is in the lead everywhere.

Whatever they do, the killers are in control and are constantly killing their companions.

There must be something hidden in this that they have been ignoring.

At first, he thought that the murderer might be one or more of his companions, at least one of the murderer's accomplices.

But now things have changed, and the companions have been killed one by one, and almost all of them have died with people whom Luo Yifan suspected.

Among the remaining people whose lives and deaths are unknown, Lu Huimei can first rule out suspicion, this does not need to be explained, Luo Yifan definitely believes her.

Liang Yongxin is the same, no matter how weird his disappearance is, Luo Yifan definitely doesn't believe that he will kill so many people.

And someone has already proved Liang Yongxin's innocence just now. Of course, the man's own innocence has yet to be proven.

Although Bu He's words were out of shape just now and he didn't know where he ran away, and then there were screams, Luo Yifan didn't see his body, so he couldn't be sure that he was dead, and he had to be suspicious.

He Mina fell into a coma because of the sudden impact and stayed in the white room "White Snow", and now there is no way to confirm her life and death, but Luo Yifan feels that He Mina is not capable of killing so many people, so I am afraid that it is more than lucky.

Fei Gu had a slight suspicion about him, but now that his body was here, this suspicion did not exist.

There is also Wei Guigui, who has been ignored for a long time, Fan Xin'er died so miserably, I thought that I would see Wei Guigui's miserable corpse somewhere, but he disappeared like air, and I haven't seen his body until now, which is also quite suspicious.

In addition to the above people, who is the person who looks the same as Liang Yongxin mentioned by Li Song Weiyi?

Who was the male deceased who was with Fan Xin'er in the 'Red Flame' room on the second floor?

Who is the female deceased who was pressed under the "big drawer" in the secret room upstairs?

For the current Luo Yifan, although he has some understanding of some of them, it is far from enough, and there are too many unknown and suspicious ones.

Moreover, the most urgent thing to figure out now is the mystery of Jiang Xinglong's disappearance.

With Jiang Xinglong here, Luo Yifan felt that he should get twice the result with half the effort, so it was best to rescue him as soon as possible.

While thinking, Luo Yifan accelerated the speed of his actions, and secretly hoped that his judgment this time was right.

However, Luo Yifan did not ignore the movement behind him, he could not make any more low-level mistakes.

This murderer is a master of raids, and they have been plotted by murderers more than once, so be careful.

The reason why Luo Yifan had to spend his strength to dismantle the bookcase on the south wall of the study first was to save Jiang Xinglong.

After the two of them got out of the secret room and climbed down the ladder just now, didn't they enter a small dark and narrow space?

After Luo Yifan came out, he found that it was actually a space in the wall connecting the study and the bedroom, so it was not too narrow.

However, Luo Yifan doesn't care about this, he cares about the question of length.

Luo Yifan clearly remembered that after the two of them left the suspension ladder, he only walked two or three steps before he touched the wooden baffle at the end of the wall.

But when he came out and talked to Jiang Xinglong in the bedroom, Luo Yifan visually observed that the wall was not so short.

At least from the outside, it's at least five or six paces long. Where does the extra space go?

After Jiang Xinglong disappeared, Luo Yifan of course also thought of the space in the wall, and went in again to check it.

But I still only walked a little more than two or three steps, and I was at the end. A few centimeters behind the ladder they had climbed down was the sealed plank.

The planks at the bottom were very tightly sealed, presumably nailed, and you could feel some small holes in the top that your fingers couldn't get in at all.

Luo Yifan tried to reach out and push, but he couldn't shake the baffle there with his body. He even wanted to move a chair into it and smash it, but it was too narrow for the smallest chair to get in.

Therefore, Luo Yifan turned to tear down the bookcase on the south wall of the study and tried to see if he could find a breakthrough from here.

So why not go to the bedroom? The side of the wall facing the bedroom is not blocked by any furniture, so it should be easier to break through the wall.

But the fact is that Luo Yifan alone has no ability to break down any wall, if he can, then he can directly break the planks inside the wall?

Luo Yifan actually knocked the long wooden parquet wall on the side of the bedroom a few times with the wooden square stool in the room when he was looking for Jiang Xinglong just now, and found that the wall on that side was very solid, not like there was any mechanism that could be opened.

When removing the bookcase on this side of the wall, Luo Yifan felt that the bottom of the bookcase seemed to be glued to the wall, and would not move with the movement of other parts.

This is suspicious, and judging by experience, the people who built this house were very fond of working on the walls.

They could have escaped from the walls of the vault upstairs, so why couldn't the murderer use the space in the walls to imprison one of them?

Luo Yifan planned well, if he couldn't find Jiang Xinglong from here, then he would go upstairs to the secret room to find it, and he couldn't let Jiang Xinglong be killed again no matter what.

Soon, except for the bottom of the bookcase, all the other planks and books were taken down and piled up on the floor.

Luo Yifan wiped the sweat from his face, stopped to take a few breaths, and intently observed the bottom of the bookcase left on the wall.

Sure enough, something that shouldn't have been revealed was revealed.

First of all, there is an overlapping edge that should not exist (like the edge of the overlapping part of the middle of the sliding door that moves one after the other), standing completely from top to bottom at the center line of the bookcase floor a little to the right.

This overlapping edge, which was originally blocked by books and bookcases, is not visible at all, but now that there are no two things, it is particularly noticeable.

Moreover, it seems that the bottom plate of the bookcase is not pasted on the wall, it is actually a part of the wall, but it is not noticed when the bookcase is complete.

The more Luo Yifan looked at it, the more he felt that the untouchable part of it could definitely hide a man.

Because the total length of the south wall of the study is about 2.5 meters, in addition to the door, the bottom plate of the bookcase accounts for most of it, and the bottom plate is about 1.5 meters wide from left to right. The left side is close to the corner line between the study wall and the south wall.

It was about three steps from the edge of the overlap to the door, about the same distance they had just moved inside the wall. Part of it is the bottom of the bookcase, and the other part is the wood wall, and the color and texture of the wood are different between the two parts.

The distance from the other side to the corner of the wall is about a little more than a meter, that is, about two steps, and this part Luo Yifan guesses should be in the same position as the sealed space inside the wall.

Suppose that the wooden board at the bottom of the bookcase is really a sliding door flap, and if the part of the wooden board that does not overlap the line from the sliding door to the corner of the wall is the movable part, then ......

Luo Yifan stretched out his palms and pressed them to the wooden board, moving them to the right with force......

'Click' - the plank moved slightly.

Push harder......

'Click'

Nails clasp hard......

This time there was no sound.

“?!”

Strange, Luo Yifan habitually furrowed his eyebrows and lowered his head slightly in thought.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something that was round, slightly darker than the wall, like a patch.

It is located in the corner of the wall, about a little higher than the waistline of Luo Yifan.

Bending down slightly, Luo Yifan leaned in to take a closer look-

"Whew—" He let out a sound that sounded like an exhalation and a sigh.

The person who made the mechanism in this house was so clever that he thought of such a small place. Luo Yifan secretly praised in his heart.

Where is the target in front of you is a patch, which is clearly the keyhole for opening the door!

The camouflage is simply too good, not only does it fit perfectly with the wall, it does not protrude a point or indent a little; In addition, it is painted in a color close to that of the surrounding wooden boards, and the interlocking holes are not missed.

"No wonder I didn't find out." Luo Yifan laughed softly at himself.

The presence of this keyhole proves that the bottom panel of the bookcase can indeed be opened, and that there is indeed a hidden space in the wall.

But then the question arises: 1. Where is the key? Having a keyhole means it can be opened, but it's not a good idea to have a key.

Second, assuming that the murderer did hide Jiang Xinglong here, then the murderer's speed of action will amaze Luo Yifan.

It took about two or three minutes from the time Luo Yifan heard the sound and entered the corridor to the time he saw the first wooden fence door, judging from the sound of moving behind him and pushing the door, Jiang Xinglong should still be there at this time.

Then Luo Yifan went to check the corridor door and Fei Gu's body, and it took about two or three minutes, during which time Luo Yifan did not pay attention to Jiang Xinglong's movements.

Assuming that Jiang Xinglong had an accident at this time, then there was a maximum of about three minutes between the murderer's abduction and Jiang Xinglong's call for help.

In other words, the murderer forcibly abducted Jiang Xinglong when he was conscious, which is tantamount to increasing the difficulty of the operation in disguise.

Why didn't the murderer take the drug first to prevent Jiang Xinglong from calling for help, Luo couldn't guess it for the time being.

When the cry for help sounded, Luo Yifan immediately rushed to the bedroom, first blocked by the door of the corridor into the bedroom, and immediately turned around and entered the study, and rushed directly into the bedroom without pausing after hitting the table, this section was about a minute or so.

To sum up, if the time is calculated, it took about four to five minutes for the murderer to make Jiang Xinglong disappear.

In this short period of time, the murderer has two paths.

First, drag Jiang Xinglong into the secret passage inside the wall, use some mechanism to open the plank at the bottom of the secret passage, push him in, close it, and then climb the hanging ladder to leave.

It is possible that this method can be done in five minutes, but according to Luo Yifan's observation, the wooden planks at the bottom of the secret passage in the wall are nailed with nails, and it is impossible to open them.

Second, first dragged Jiang Xinglong from the bedroom to the study, removed the bookcase, opened the bottom panel, pushed the person in, then locked it, and then installed the bookcase, and finally escaped.

This method is simply too late in time.

Even if the murderer had dismantled the cabinet and opened the secret door before the abduction, it would be impossible to stuff a large man who was struggling in five minutes and then leave back as he was.

If it was really hidden in the wall, Luo Yifan guessed that the murderer might have pushed Jiang Xinglong into the wall and then drugged him, so that Jiang Xinglong could stay quietly inside without being discovered by him.

In short, Luo Yifan believes that the study and bedroom are now closed, and there is no place for the murderer to hide Jiang Xinglong except inside the walls.

As for bringing Jiang Xinglong back to the secret room on the second floor, it is also unrealistic, and it is impossible to drag a person to climb the suspension ladder without making a sound at all.

With a quick analysis in his mind, Luo Yifan's people did not stop, he rummaged around in the study for the key to the movable plank.

Books and anime dolls were thrown on the ground or overturned by him.

Luo Yifan quickly moved his position as he searched.

As he moved to a certain place, he suddenly stopped.

Something caught his eye......
