To Luo Yifan's surprise, the wooden board in front of him was easily pushed away, and the entire wooden board fell down in the direction of Luo Yifan's force. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The wall revealed a square hole that could be used for a person to enter and exit.

Due to the excessive force, Luo Yifan rushed forward, but he quickly stabilized his body.

"Wait, I'll take a look first."

It was pitch black inside the hole, and Luo Yifan grabbed the edge with both hands and carefully moved his upper body in.

Lu Huimei's worried voice came from behind: "Yifan, be careful." ”

"It's fine."

After a hasty reply, Luo Yifan concentrated his full attention, listening to the sounds inside the dark room, while his hands kept groping within reach.

It's a good idea to find the light switch so you can see what's going on inside.

Thinking like this, Luo Yifan turned his body slightly, so that his hands could grope downward.

"Ahh Pregnant. Luo Yifan muttered with a little surprise.

Immediately, there was a 'click', and the inside of the dark room was immediately lit up.

Inside, it appears to be a bright wall lamp such as a fluorescent lamp, and the light coming out even illuminates a small passage outside.

It also reassured the others in the passage a little.

After turning on the light, Luo Yifan leaned on the edge of the opening and looked inside. As far as the eye can see, there are only white walls.

'It's fine. He thought to himself.

However, Luo Yifan did not enter the compartment immediately, he sniffed vigorously, and sure enough, he smelled a very faint smell again.

It was an unfamiliar smell, different from the fragrance he had just smelled on his fingers, and Luo Yifan was sure that he had never smelled it before.

With the experience of the previous car, Luo Yifan did not dare to be careless, he lay down at the opening and waited for a while.

After more than ten seconds, his mind did not show the symptoms of dizziness as he imagined, and he even felt a lot more energetic, and Luo Yifan calmed down a little.

It's a small compartment, probably only a few square meters. It's small, but it's much wider than the passage they entered.

The opening of the passage was in the middle of the wall of the compartment, and Luo Yifan wanted to climb directly into it, but found that it was too high for his hands to reach the ground.

The walls on all sides are smooth, and if you go straight down, you may hit your head first. So Luo Yifan decided to turn his body upside down and go down with his feet first.

The passage in which they lay on their stomachs was so narrow that it was almost impossible for a man who was neither fat nor thin to have his body upside down in it.

But this is not difficult for Luo Yifan, people who practice dance have a soft body.

He motioned for Lu Emi to step back slightly, so as not to be kicked by his feet.

Then slowly fold your feet and straighten them forward so that your whole body is folded in half.

Luo Yifan belongs to the kind of person with a slender body, moderate bones, and slightly thin. This size also helped him a lot.

After folding his body in half, with the help of his hands, Luo Yifan's upper body moved back almost close to his legs.

At this time, except for Lu Huimei, only Li Songwei, who was ranked third, could vaguely see what Luo Yifan was doing. The people behind them can't see because of the restrictions of the passage.

Bian Benyi couldn't bear it anymore, and he asked loudly in the back:

"Xiao Luo, there's nothing in there, right? Can't you get in? ”

The horrific scenes that appeared one after another had already frightened the irascible uncle.

"You can go in, Yifan is trying to figure out a way, you have to be patient."

Lu Huimei replied instead of Luo Yifan, who was in action. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't have a good impression of this uncle, so her tone unconsciously revealed a sense of impatience.

After a short time, Luo Yifan had already turned his body. At this time, he was lying face up, supporting his body with his elbows with both hands, and he was poking his feet into the inner compartment little by little.

After Luo Yifan stood firm in the compartment, he looked around again and made sure that there was nothing in the compartment.

Then Luo Yifan turned around and said to Lu Huimei: "You come in first, and then let Xiao Yi come in, hurry up." ”

While speaking, Luo Yifan reached out to hold Lu Huimei's hands and let his upper body move out of the cave first.

Then he carried her into the cubicle.

"You go and check the walls around you to see if there are any traps."

After letting Lu Huimei stand firm, Luo Yifan gave an order, and at the same time concocted the same method to let Li Songwei enter the compartment.

"But..."

Lu Huimei was scared to let her do this, and hesitated to act.

"Hurry up!" Luo Yifan urged without looking back, as if he was sure that there would be nothing terrifying.

Seeing that he insisted, Lu Huimei had no choice but to be bold and began to grope for the white walls around her.

Almost at the same time, Luo Yifan had already hugged Li Songweiye into the cubicle, and said to the people behind:

"You three wait a minute, it's too small here, it will be crowded to come in all at once, wait until we find the door, and then help you in."

Jiang Xinglong, who was behind Li Song Weiyi, finally saw the situation in the compartment clearly, and confirmed that Luo Yifan was not lying, and he nodded.

In order to reassure Bian Benyi behind him, Jiang Xinglong tilted his body to the side to leave a gap for the people behind him to see inside the compartment.

When he moved his body, Jiang Xinglong's face naturally tilted to the side, and his eyes did not look at Luo Yifan and them for the time being.

At this time, Lu Huimei was staring at the wall she was groping with because she was scared and nervous.

Taking advantage of this moment, Luo Yifan suddenly tightened and hugged Li Song Weiyi's left hand, and the strength was so great that she almost suffocated.

The free right hand covered her mouth, and then said something in the ear of the surprised woman in a barely audible voice.

In an instant, Li Song Weiyi's petite body trembled, his face changed suddenly, and tears slipped down his eyes.

His lips were almost on Li Song Weiyi's ears, Luo Yifan quickly finished what he was going to say, and then he took a deep breath and let go of his hand.

didn't have time to take care of the maid who was stunned, Luo Yifan quickly glanced at the others.

It seems that no one has noticed, which is great. ’

Hurriedly walked to Lu Huimei's side, Luo Yifan comforted her softly, and asked her to stay with Li Song Weiyi, while he took over from her and began to look for the door of the cubicle.

After all, the cubicle was only a few square meters, and it didn't take long for Luo Yifan to push open a door of the same color as the wall diagonally opposite the entrance.

The door frame is not big or tall, and with Luo Yifan's height, he has to bend down a little to enter. If you are a fatter person, then you have to turn your body a little sideways.

The door opened inward, and Luo Yifan took a look at it by the light in the compartment.

Inside is a larger and deeper room, and you can vaguely see some objects stacked in large and small inside.

Because the light at the doorway is limited, and the items seem to be obscured by something, it is not clear to see.

Turning around, Luo Yifan and Lu Huimei helped the three people who were still in the passage to enter the compartment.

Li Song Weiyi on the side had not yet recovered from the shock just now, and Luo Yifan's words seemed to have given her a big blow.

She kept staring at Luo Yifan's side face in a daze, with a deep sadness in her eyes.

No one paid attention to Li Songweiyi's expression, because more important than that was the next step.

Six people huddled in a small cubicle, pausing for a moment, doing simple analytical exchanges.

said that it was an exchange, but in fact, it was just Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong who were talking, and the others couldn't put forward any substantive opinions at all.

"I think it's strange," Jiang Xinglong said to Luo Yifan after looking at it for a while, "Why didn't the murderer lock the door here." ”

"I don't understand either"

Luo Yifan really couldn't figure this out. At first, he thought there was no lock on the door.

From the inside of the compartment, the door and the wall are so seamless that you can't find it unless you look closely.

However, when you open the door, you can see that the inside of the door is locked.

Although it is only an ordinary anti-theft lock, it is impossible to break the door lock in such a narrow space.

And judging from the murderer's careful arrangement of the plan, it is unlikely that there was no lock due to negligence.

"Could it be that the murderer has arranged some traps waiting for us inside?" Jiang Xinglong said.

"I don't know," Luo Yifan thought. "The murderer has scared us enough here on the second floor, he can just lock all the doors that can be locked, and let us starve to death here,"

"Save him the trouble of killing us one by one. I had always thought that the murderer was thinking this way before I entered the secret passage, but now it seems that this is not the case. ”

"What do you mean?" Bian Benyi asked.

"Because the murderer helped us enter the secret passage."

"What!?"

Except for Jiang Xinglong, everyone else was extremely surprised by what Luo Yifan said.

"Uncle, do you remember? You asked me before you entered the secret passage. ”

"What?"

"When the thick wooden planks at the entrance to the secret passage were pried off, and you asked me, 'How did you do that?' and I didn't answer you directly, just pointed to the crowbar that was thrown on the ground, right?"

"Yes." Bian Benyi replied mechanically.

"Actually, I don't know if the crowbar is a tool used to pry open the secret door, it was just speculation at the time."

"The wooden plank at the entrance of the secret passage is so thick and heavy, Jiang Xinglong and I don't have any tools to pry it open at all, and it fell down the moment we opened it."

"Someone apparently pried it open before us and put it back in place."

"And that crowbar wasn't there in the first place, I just discovered it before we entered the secret passage together."

"Now it seems that someone secretly put it here during the time when Jiang Xinglong and I returned to 'Baixue' after the secret passage was opened."

"Then why didn't you say it before you entered the secret passage? If you suspect that the murderer deliberately wants us to enter the secret passage, you should have told us in advance! ”

"If he had said it, would you have dared to enter the secret passage?"

Jiang Xinglong said without saltiness, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his tone.

In an instant, the designer and his wife fell silent.

Jiang Xinglong continued: "Luo Yifan's judgment is right, no matter what kind of trap the murderer designs, we must break through, and it is best to confront him head-on. ”

"So that we can survive and truly understand what the killer killed us for."

"Now, you can choose to quit and part ways with us like Buhe, but it's hard to say what will happen."

Jiang Xinglong's words stimulated the nerves of Bian Benyi and his wife. Forcing them to make difficult choices.

'Yes! Can you still get out now? ’

Bian Benyi sighed in his heart, forget it, go down, I can only pray for God's blessing.

Different from Jiang Xinglong's aggressiveness, Luo Yifan's attitude seemed much calmer, which was completely different from his usual arrogant appearance.

Luo Yifan said patiently: "Uncle, you don't have to be too discouraged, although this is the case, but this is just our speculation. ”

"Next, we must not only be united, but also careful in every step. The murderer must not be given another chance. ”

"Whatever trick he has next, we must live to expose it."

Luo Yifan ostensibly encouraged the confidence of the six people present, but did he really have confidence......

――――

In the dark depths that the six of them could not see clearly, there was indeed a larger conspiracy brewing, which would become the most terrifying and bloody event they had ever experienced in their lives.

No one can stop it, and no one can stop it.

They can only step into the only way to life with a wandering heart.

But will this path lead them to the redemption of their lives or to the end of their lives?

The answer may not be known......

――――

Silence is sometimes a sign of determination, and none of the six continues to speak, and no one is messing around anymore.

The people who are left alone have already had accidents, which clearly shows that no matter whether you believe the people around you or not, there is no way to leave them alone.

Every second at this point becomes very long, and heavy breathing comes and goes.

After a long time, Luo Yifan said a simple word: "Let's go." ”

No one objected, and everyone nodded mechanically.

Luo Yifan felt invisible pressure enveloping him, and he had difficulty breathing.

But this may not be his own feelings, and perhaps everyone is the same as him.

Luo Yifan was standing closest to the small door, and he turned around and rechecked to the room to see if it was safe.

At this point, they no longer have the tools to illuminate.

Bian Benyi's mobile phone has fallen off at some point.

The mobile phone in Jiang Xinglong's pocket was already low on battery and could not be opened for a long time.

And the cloth and the small flashlight given to Luo Yifan were also out of power.

Luo Yifan had already tried it in the passage he came in just now, and he couldn't open it at all.

Luckily, I was able to borrow a little light from the small room at this time.

Luo Yifan relied on this light to carefully observe the space inside the small door, especially the place close to him.

It wasn't until he thought there was no danger that Luo Yifan reached out and groped around the door frame, hoping to be lucky enough to find the light switch again.

Maybe it's really God bless, Luo Yifan's hand touched something like a switch again.

I couldn't wait to press it, and the room was immediately bright.

"Whew-"

With a long breath, Luo Yifan's nervous mood eased a little.

The room looked just as I had just judged, surrounded by unadorned white walls, and in the depths of the room lay large pieces of furniture, covered in gray cloth.

Turning around, Luo Yifan said to the people behind him: "It doesn't matter, let's go in." ”

With his footsteps, six people entered the large room one after another.

They were very close to each other, and everyone was afraid that they would fall into the abyss from which they would never recover.

Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong, like the captains of the expedition, led others into the unknown.

And they themselves bear the brunt of life's test.

Of course, this is based on the premise that neither of them is a murderer or an accomplice.

Walking to the bottom of the room, Luo Yifan reached out and prepared to lift the gray cloth covering the 'furniture'.

"Don't look at it." Lu Huimei tugged at his clothes and whispered.

"It doesn't matter, we can't let go of any clues."

After a pause, Luo Yifan slowly lifted the gray cloth in front of him without hesitation.

Something like a refrigerator was exposed.

On the side, Jiang Xinglong also lifted the cloth on other 'furniture'.

"What is this?"

Looking at the 'refrigerator' of about the same size, Jiang Xinglong asked.

"I don't know." Luo Yifan frowned and opened one of them.

It was empty, there was nothing, and a thick layer of ice was stuck at the bottom.

"It looks like it's really a refrigerator," Jiang Xinglong muttered in his mouth. "What are you doing here with so many refrigerators?"

"These refrigerators look like they're in use all the time."

Luo Yifan touched the inside of the refrigerator, which was very cold and the ice was very hard. He leaned down to check the refrigerator's power cord.

"The power cord is not connected, judging by this situation, it should have been unplugged just now, the cold in the refrigerator has not dissipated at all, and the ice has not melted."

"That's right, the contents were also moved recently, and they were moved in a hurry, you see."

Jiang Xinglong pointed to several broken plastic bags scattered in the refrigerator and on the floor, and there were some white or gray powders around these plastic bags.

They also found several footprints printed on the powder.

"It seems that it is indeed in a hurry, and there is no time to even clean up the aftermath."

Luo Yifan squatted down again, and he picked up a little powder with his fingers and sniffed it.

Then, Luo Yifan made a move that surprised everyone.

He actually licked his fingers with his tongue and took the powder in his mouth and savored it.

"Yifan, are you crazy? Those could be poisons! ”

Lu Huimei exclaimed, and Li Songwei also covered her mouth with her hand.

The others also looked at Luo Yifan in surprise.

After a while, Luo Yifan stood up, he patted the powder on his clothes, and his expression was unusually calm.

"It's okay, those are just plain flour."

"Really?" Jiang Xinglong was puzzled.

He also squatted down like Luo Yifan, picked up a little powder and tasted it-

"Well, I'm right, right?"

“… Belch...... That's right. "Jiang Xinglong was a little unexpected." Why flour? ”

He seemed to be imagining something else.

"You're thinking it could be drugs, aren't you?" Luo Yifan asked him.

"Don't you think so? That's why you're going to confirm. ”

"Yes, I have such doubts. When most people see the combination of refrigerators, plastic bags and powders in the back room, they will naturally think that they are drugs. ”

"But it's flour, it's really unexpected."

"Why do you put flour in the fridge?" Motoki asked.

Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong couldn't answer this question for the time being, so no one answered. The two men continued to look around the refrigerator.

"There are two footprints that are towards the entrance," Luo Yifan pointed to the small door of the entrance. "Proof that someone has ever been out of here."

"But there are no footprints to enter."

"It's true," Jiang Xinglong continued his words, "but there are still two footprints here, but they are incomplete." ”

At this time, everyone was too close to see the footprints. Luo Yifan had to speak out to stop:

"Everyone stand back, step on the flour carefully, and print your footprints."

After the other four people retreated, Luo Yifan continued to listen to Jiang Xinglong's analysis.

"Look," Jiang Xinglong pointed with his finger. "This half is a heel, which means that it is pointing to our left-hand side, which is to the east."

"And the one here is also with the heel facing west and the toe facing east. What does this mean? ”

The two men crouched there, their eyes looking at the wall on the left.

"It means that there must be an exit here." Luo Yifan said: "Okay, let's find it." ”

As soon as he stood up, suddenly, Luo Yifan stood up again.

"Wait," he stopped Jiang Xinglong, who was walking forward, and said, "The murderer has done things so carefully in front of him, why is there such an obvious flaw left here?" ”

"You mean ......"

"Do you remember the murderer examining the body with you before he came in? The top of the corpse's head was almost pierced, and it must have taken a lot of effort for the murderer to do so. ”

"And there was blood all over the room, but not only did the murderer leave nothing on the body, but there was not a single footprint on the ground."

"Do people who do things so carefully leave footprints that indicate the exit when carrying things?"

"It's true, but as you said earlier, the murderer may have deliberately wanted to lure us here, so it's not impossible to deliberately leave footprints."

Jiang Xinglong still felt that the exit might be on the wall in front of him.

"Yes, I have said that, but this is just speculation, don't forget, we have no basis, we have always relied on guessing the intention of the murderer."

"If the murderer really wants to lead us into the secret passage, then there is only one possibility, and that is that the murderer has an easier and quicker way to kill us than by starving us to death on the second floor."

"So he doesn't want to waste time, and at the same time it shows that the path we are going to go is going to be more unpredictable and dangerous."

Luo Yifan is not a timid person, otherwise he would not have ventured to enter the secret passage first, and he was the one who opened the small door leading to here.

But the wall in front of him made him feel an inexplicable unease. He looked at every part of the wall, his heart pounding.

'Certainly, there must be something wrong......'

His emotions also infected Jiang Xinglong on the side, and the two of them were stunned for a moment.

The white walls are no different from the other three sides.

So, is it another passage or a killer behind it?

Let's find out in the next chapter, "The Devil's Triple Mystery - Interlude".
