Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Devil's Triple Mystery—Climax Five: Complete Blockade
"This vase is the switch that opens the basement of the Bird's House. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Liang Yongxin's hand rested on the mouth of the vase on the bedside table on the left side of the double bed, and said to Luo Yifan: "The vase, the bedside table and the floor are connected, the vase is connected to the bearing in the bedside table, and the bottom of the bearing leads to the ground, connecting the gear below the floor to open the entrance to the basement.
Liang Yongxin's voice was still very hoarse, and he would cough uncomfortably when he spoke, but he still tried to speak in a clear voice.
"The bedside table is heavy because it is full of things, and I usually don't think of moving it when cleaning, so I don't think it is possible to find the relationship between the bedside table and the floor."
"And the vase is different, no matter how big the vase is when it wipes the table, it will be moved, so I deliberately said that the vase is more valuable, I understand Xiaoyi's character, she has been poor all her life, and she will not go to what she can't afford to lose... Adversity...... I'm sorry. ”
Before he finished speaking, Liang Yongxin suddenly realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, his face was red, and he hurriedly apologized to Luo Yifan.
But now Luo Yifan is not as usual, he just responded lightly: "What you said is not wrong, I... It's a man who only cares about himself. ”
"You... Don't say that. You see, I've always been happy with you. Liang Yongxin hurriedly said that he had actually always cared about Luo Yifan's thoughts.
"Then again, Yifan, are you really sure about that? You can't just ...... it,"
"I'm sure." Luo Yifan was still very indifferent.
In Liang Yongxin's mind, Luo Yifan has always been a heroic existence, and he will never forget the scene when they first met - when Luo Yifan came down from the stage to him, like the real undefeated ghost god Asura King descended to the mortal world.
Liang Yongxin has never seen Luo Yifan like this now, so depressed, so helpless, so depressed, only the red pupils in his eyes have become more obvious.
"No, you-" Liang Yongxin wanted to say something.
"Don't talk about that, you can continue to talk about the basement." Luo Yifan interrupted him, not wanting to continue the topic at hand.
Liang Yongxin looked at the tall man in front of him distressedly, and sighed helplessly: "Alas... What a stubborn man, is... The same people... bar. '
As if seeing through what Liang Yongxin was thinking, Luo Yifan urged: "We have to hurry up." ”
"yes, okay." Liang Yongxin adjusted his emotions, saving talents now is the most important thing, and everything else must be put aside first.
Continuing to return to the topic just now, Liang Yongxin said: "Although I am the owner of this Luoque House, I have rarely come here since I bought it. And I've never renovated it, it was like this before I bought it, just moved some furniture and softened it. Even the mechanism that opens the basement here was discovered by accident. ”
"I really don't know the rest of the secret rooms you just mentioned, and if you hadn't told me, maybe I wouldn't have believed it. As for the double door frames here, I do know a little. ”
"When I came with Jiang Xinglong before, once he went fishing by the river, I saw it by chance when I was walking around the house alone, and I gave up after tinkering for a long time without any reaction, and I didn't need it anyway."
"So Jiang Xinglong knew that there were mechanisms on these doors on the first floor before?" Luo Yifan asked.
"I don't know if he thinks it's a mechanism, but after I told him at the time, he also tinkered with it for a long time like me." Liang Yong thought for a while and said.
"Really? That's strange, why didn't Jiang Xinglong tell me about it, and stood at the door defenselessly? Luo Yifan said suspiciously.
He wasn't asking Liang Yongxin, he was asking himself.
But when Liang Yongxin heard Luo Yifan's question, he was stunned, and asked a little anxiously: "Do you doubt him?" ”
"No, I'm just wondering why Jiang Xinglong didn't say it?"
"Maybe he forgot, it's been years since we found out about the double jamb. In a very stressful situation, it is normal for him to forget. Liang Yongxin explained for Jiang Xinglong.
Glancing at the thin man beside him who still had no blood on his face and his eyes were still red and swollen, Luo Yifan hooked his shoulder with his arm and said:
"I know you and Jiang Xinglong are very good, but Jiang Xinglong is not a dull-minded person, when he is trapped in the secret room upstairs, he can calm down and find a breakthrough with me, and he can make that kind of response in time when I lose my mind."
How could such a man be negligent in dropping the doorframe? Didn't you just say that he studied the jamb after you told him? ”
"But I also studied it carefully at the time, and didn't I find anything? And if I hadn't heard you mention it, I'd almost forgotten about it. Liang Yongxin looked up at Luo Yifan and said.
"How can you compare with him...... Alas!" Luo Yifan let go of Liang Yongxin and continued: "Okay, don't talk about this, Jiang Xinglong must have his thoughts, I think no matter what the murderer did, with Jiang Xinglong's adaptability, he will not be killed easily, I only hope that Jiang Xinglong can leave us some clues in his urgency." ”
Luo Yifan's eyes moved away from Liang Yongxin and looked up at the house.
He was standing sideways on the left side of the bed, looking up to see the double window directly above the double bed.
At this time, the bedroom window was closed, and the window was well sealed with a thick wooden security net, and the grid between each log could not even reach out of a woman's hand.
Luo Yifan looked at the anti-theft net fixedly for a few seconds, as if thinking about something.
Liang Yongxin on the side asked, "Have you thought of anything?" ”
"Ah, no, nothing." Luo Yifan shook his head and said, "Yongxin, in this way, you come and open the entrance to the basement, I'll go to that place to take a look, and as soon as the entrance opens, we will immediately go to the basement to see what is going on." ”
"Also, the door frame is important, and we'd better find out where its mechanism is."
"Okay." Although Liang Yongxin didn't know what Luo Yifan wanted to see, he immediately ran in the direction of the study.
"Why are you going?"
Luo Yifan reflexively grabbed Liang Yongxin's arm, and the moment his hand touched his arm, Luo Yifan snorted softly in pain. frowned.
He didn't understand why Liang Yongxin ran in the direction of the study when he asked Liang Yongxin to open the entrance to the basement.
"Didn't you say the mechanism is on the vase here?" Luo Yifan asked strangely.
"Well, I've already activated the gears under the vase when I was talking to you just now."
"How?"
"You should see, I just turned the vase to the right half a circle, and then pulled the bedside table under it out a little bit. Just do that, and the gears below will turn on their own. ”
"And what about the vase and bedside table on the other side of the bed?" Luo Yifan continued to ask.
"It's useless on that side, I think it's a trick there, even though the vase, the bedside table and the floor are also connected, but there's no use in moving there."
"It turns out..."Luo Yifan then understood, "If the mechanism is so simple, it can indeed be done in five minutes." So what are you doing? Tell me where the entrance is? It is very likely that Jiang Xinglong has been taken to the basement by the murderer. ”
"Well, you come with me" Hearing that Jiang Xinglong might be in the basement, Liang Yongxin became even more anxious, and he pulled Luo Yifan with his backhand, and he was about to leave the bedroom with him.
'Is the entrance in the study?' Luo Yifan thought to himself, he followed Liang Yongxin and walked a few steps, and the two of them walked through the space left under the door between the study and the bedroom as they were.
They must not take down the barriers from the wooden fence gate until they have found the switch on the door.
After entering the study as fast as he could, Luo Yifan stopped, and just wanted to look around to see where the entrance was, when Liang Yongxin's next move stunned him.
Liang Yongxin actually leaned down again and drilled under the door of the study leading to the corridor.
"Isn't the entrance here?!" Luo Yifan yelled in disbelief, so loud that Liang Yongxin was stunned, and his head almost hit the foot of the table again.
"It's not in these two rooms in the first place!" Coming back to his senses, he said.
"How so? It's terrible, how did the murderer take Jiang Xinglong? ”
Luo Yifan's expression instantly became confused and frightened, and the question he asked made Liang Yongxin confused.
"What's wrong with you? What did you say? A bad premonition hit Liang Yongxin's heart, and his voice trembled.
"It is impossible for Jiang Xinglong to be taken outside, which means that he cannot be missing outside the study and bedroom." Luo Yifan's words were amazing.
"Why?!"
"At that time, I heard the voice in the corridor and said to Jiang Xinglong, I went to the corridor to investigate, while he stayed in the bedroom to prevent accidents. Whenever one of us is in danger, shout out to the other. ”
"Jiang Xinglong's voice could be heard for about two minutes after I entered the corridor, and I was sure that Jiang Xinglong was still in the bedroom for those two minutes."
"After that, I spent two or three minutes checking the door that led to the living room in the hallway, as well as Fei Gu's body, and I didn't pay attention to Jiang Xinglong during this time. Assuming that Jiang Xinglong had already had an accident at this time, then in which direction do you think the murderer would take him away?"
"Isn't it possible for the murderer to take Xinglong out of the room and enter the warehouse from behind you?" Liang Yong asked anxiously.
Hearing the clue from his mouth, Luo Yifan immediately asked: "You mean that the entrance to the basement is in a small warehouse?" ”
"yes!"
"But that warehouse is full of stuff, isn't it?!" Luo Yifan was confused for a moment, but immediately understood: "Yes, that warehouse is full of large pieces of furniture, boxes and wood, even if there is an extra opening underneath, it is not easy for things to fall, and it can also play a role of cover, right." ”
"Yes, yes." Jiang Xinglong's thinking speed made Liang Yongxin a little confused, but he still tried his best to keep up with his train of thought.
Liang Yongxin said: "Could it be that the murderer secretly opened the mechanism and brought Xinglong into the warehouse from behind you?" Didn't you say you didn't notice the back at that time? ”
"Impossible! Luo Yifan directly denied him: "It's not that I didn't notice the back, but I didn't pay attention to Jiang Xinglong's actions." ”
"The cunning of the murderer is completely beyond our imagination, and it is impossible for me not to be wary of the behind. There is a more important reason, with what you know about Jiang Xinglong, if someone forcibly kidnaps him, will he do nothing quietly? ”
"Absolutely impossible!"
"That's right, I said, I returned to the bedroom immediately after hearing Jiang Xinglong's cry for help, although a little bit happened on the way, it only took about a minute to reach the bedroom, and it was impossible to do more."
"Think about it, I can't see anyone when I go back to the bedroom, which shows that Jiang Xinglong was taken away first and then made a cry for help, and Jiang Xinglong must have been awake when he was taken away. Because it is impossible for the murderer to get Jiang Xinglong within a minute. ”
"If he passes behind me with a sober Jiang Xinglong, Jiang Xinglong will definitely try his best to remind me that the murderer will not succeed. So the only way for the murderer to hide Jiang Xinglong in the bedroom or study. ”
"At first I thought the killer had brought someone back to the passage where we had come down from the second floor, but I found it reluctantly; Later, I opened the bookcase and found the compartment where you were hiding, thinking that Jiang Xinglong was hiding there, so I rescued you. ”
"According to the method of the basement and the switch you said, if the opening of the basement is in the bedroom or study, then the murderer can definitely bring Jiang Xinglong into the basement within four or five minutes as long as he is careful. But now that the entrance is not in these two places, won't the bedroom become a dead end? I really can't think of where the murderer can hide Jiang Xinglong! ”
"yes!" When Liang Yongxin heard this, he also realized what Luo Yifan meant, and the panic became deeper and deeper on his face.
Liang Yongxin trembled and said: "One door is sealed, and there is you outside the other door, it is impossible to go out of the window, and the balcony is also closed......"
"Yes, if you go back to the second floor from the secret passage in the wall, even if you stun Jiang Xinglong, it will be very difficult to climb the suspension ladder with him, not to mention that it will make a sound; And hiding him in the compartment where you are hidden, you need to disassemble and reassemble the bookcase, and there is definitely not enough time. Luo Yifan took over and said.
"So... Where did the murderer take Xinglong......? Liang Yongxin stared straight at Luo Yifan, his eyes were full of anxiety and panic, and tears rolled in his eyes.
