Chapter 9: The Murdered Woman and the Crazy Man

The path from the bottom to the top is muddy and overgrown with weeds, and there are rocks in the middle of the road. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info black shadow slid up step by step with a heavy object on his back, the weight on his body and the difficult road made him sweat profusely, and he stopped from time to time to gasp.

Raising his head and looking up, the road was still so long, and the black shadow felt that he was about to be unable to hold on, but one by one, "I can't give up, I've reached this point, and there is only one way to go." One by one, the dark shadow secretly cheered himself up, lifted the object on his back upward, and grasped the hemp rope that bound it with both hands, and his nails were almost embedded in the hemp rope.

Moving his sore legs, the black shadow struggled to climb upward, his shoes sinking deep into the dirt with every step, the clothes on his body were already soaked, sweat dripping down his forehead and into his eyes, he shook his head from time to time to shake off the sweat and see the scene in the darkness.

Finally reaching the flat ground, the black shadow threw the object aside fiercely, and his whole body fell on a large rock, panting. The clothes on his body had been torn a few big holes just now, and they had been soaked with mud and sweat, and the black shadow felt uncomfortable, so he simply ripped off his shirt, revealing his not strong but very fair upper body.

As he breathes, the shadow remembers the time he was with his lover. Not only in the Bird House, but the man even hugged him in the grove, not so long ago.

He belongs to me. 'One by one,' yes,' thought the shadow, 'he is mine, whether it be a warm embrace, a strong arm, a good smell, or love, it is all mine. I've endured and endured for too long, and this time I'm going to take him back. ’

This thought made the Black Shadow seem to have strength again. He stood up, looked at the object on the ground with resentful eyes, and thought angrily, 'It's all to blame on this woman, for taking him away for so many years, and causing them both to suffer so long.' Now he fell so hard and didn't die, and he wanted to climb up and denounce him, but fortunately I came to take a look. Hum! I will never spare her, I will let her die an ugly death. ’

Both hands grabbed the hemp rope on the object's body fiercely, and the black shadow dragged it in the direction of the Bird House with all his strength.

'I hope the people in the house don't find out too soon, oh, have the lights been turned on in all the rooms?' Looks like they're already looking for me, I've got to hurry up and get them out before they come out......

The black shadow dragged the object hard, and the cat hid in the shadow of the tree, and after a while, it disappeared into the darkness without a trace......

One-one-one-one

The second floor of the Roquehouse

Wei Guigui never dreamed that such a miserable scene would appear in front of his eyes. Fan Xin'er behind him had already fainted with fright after letting out a terrible scream, and Wei Guigui's eyes were straight, trembling all over, and he couldn't scream even if he wanted to.

The small space in front of me is full of water stains and branches of unknown plants, and the fragrance is strong. But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that among the plants, lies the corpse of a woman with a blur of flesh and blood, stripped naked from top to bottom, her body drenched as if she had been washed with water, and her body has extensive bruises and open wounds. The most terrible thing is the face of the corpse, I don't know how many knives have been cut, the face is full of wounds from the flesh turned over, and the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. have been chopped off.

After Wei Guigui was stunned, a strong feeling of vomiting and panic came up, and he vomited violently while trying to exit the secret passage with his hands and feet. At this time, he couldn't take care of his wife anymore, he pushed away his wife's fainted body hard, rolling and crawling, but the narrow passage, chubby body shape and the wife next to him caused him serious obstacles, and his body was actually as difficult to move as if he was stuck, which made Wei Guigui even more afraid, his brain was blank, and he struggled with all his strength like an animal.

However, at this time, something even more terrible happened, Wei Guigui's widening eyes found that there was actually a hand slowly closing the wall of the exit, little by little, he wanted to scream, but extreme fear suppressed his voice, so that they were all blocked in his throat and could not get out, he could only desperately watch the gaps in the wall from large to small, and then 'click', plunging the world into darkness......

The first floor of the Roquehouse

At the same time that Fei Gu fell to the ground, Bian Benyi, Jiang Xinglong, and Buhe also happened to enter the door, and they not only saw what was happening in the house, but also heard the screams coming from upstairs together. This made the already exhausted Bian Benyi even more irritated, and before his wife could speak, he yelled at the others in the room: "You guys are still finished!? ”

After saying that, he didn't look at the man who was struggling on the ground, walked to the dining table and pulled out a chair and just wanted to sit down, but suddenly his anger rose, he threw the chair to the ground, slammed the table, and said loudly: "Just go upstairs with all the rest of the people, I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost, I don't believe it, we can't catch the 'evil ghost' in this room." ”

At this time, the exhausted Jiang Xinglong stood at the door in a daze, as if he had been frightened by one terrifying incident after another. And Buhe didn't know why, he seemed much calmer than the others, he was only stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and squatted down to pick up the upper body of Fei Gu, who was constantly struggling on the ground, and said to the women around him: "Hurry up, whoever goes to get a towel, a handkerchief will do." ”

"I, I have." Lu Huimei immediately replied. "Wait a minute."

As she spoke, she ran to the decorative mantelpiece where she had placed her bag, took out the embroidered handkerchief from her purple LV shoulder bag, and hurriedly ran back to hand the handkerchief to Bu He without caring about the opening of the small bag.

Buhe was struggling with both hands to control Feigu's limbs, and he ordered: "Hurry up and put the handkerchief in his mouth, don't let him bite his tongue, hurry." ”

"Oh... Oh! "Promise it, but Lu Huimei doesn't know what to do because she is afraid. When she was hesitating, the handkerchief in her hand was snatched away violently, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed.

"I'm coming!" After Bian Benyi snatched the handkerchief, he roared angrily and stuffed the handkerchief into the mouth of Fei Gu, who was lying on his back, as if venting his anger. The sound of Feigu's screaming was slammed into his throat, leaving only a dull "whining" sound. Excessive saliva and foam soaked the cloth in the mouth at once.

"Uncle, help me hold his foot, he may have had a seizure, it's dangerous, anyone else can find the rope, please hurry up." Buhe spoke again.

Although Bian Benyi is angry, he still has reason, and he also knows that the most important thing now is to save people first, no matter what. He knelt on Feigu's lap, pressed the patient's moving legs with the weight of his body, and yelled at the women: "Hurry up and get it!" ”

The three women hurriedly took action, rummaging in the living room and kitchen, as well as the warehouse on the inside of the kitchen. And Jiang Xinglong was still standing at the door and staring blankly at this side, although his eyes were facing the room, his eyes did not seem to be looking at a few busy people, but an unknown place, and the depths of his eyes revealed a heavy color of worry and fear.

About five or six minutes later, Lu Huimei's shout suddenly came from the warehouse connected to the kitchen: "Found it." ”

A few seconds later, Lu Huimei ran out of the kitchen with a large roll of thick rope and handed it to Buhe, who stretched out his hand to her. The women gathered around Feigu again, leaning over to look.

With the help of Bian Benyi, Buhe smoothly tied Fei Gu's hands and feet, and helped him to the sofa to lie down.

At this time, Fei Gu was still making a "whine" sound in his mouth, and his body was basically unable to move.

After disposing of Fei Gu, Bian Benyi was so tired that he sat on the ground, and Yuan Mu Hibiscus hurriedly came over to help her husband up and let him sit on the chair. She grabbed her husband's hand and said distressedly, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for having to go up the mountain......"

"It's fine." Facing his wife, Bian Benyi, who was usually good-tempered, seemed to be particularly gentle, he waved his hand lightly, signaling his wife not to say any more, and the relationship between the two of them can be seen from this.

Here put down Yuan Mu Hibiscus and Bian Benyi and let them rest for a while.

Looking at Buhe again, he unbuttoned his shirt after putting down Feigu, and then stood up straight. Gasping for breath, he continued, "His epilepsy looks very serious, and we have to leave someone here to watch him and notify the others if anything happens." Who do you think can stay? ”

Bu He's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Jiang Xinglong's body strangely: "Mr. Jiang, you... What's wrong? Too tired and uncomfortable? ”

“…… Oh no, nothing. Jiang Xinglong seemed to have just reacted, the expression on his face loosened, and he replied. But his gaze was still fixed on a certain place, and he slowly stretched out his finger to point to the place he was looking at, and said in a voice that was not warm, "Look, that... Isn't that weird? ”

"Huh!?" Several people looked strangely in the direction pointed by their fingers.

It turned out that Jiang Xinglong was pointing to the vase placed on the decorative mantelpiece under the living room window, which was filled with yellow and pink moon flowers.

"Isn't it just a vase, what's so strange?" Standing next to Yuan Mu Hibiscus and his wife, Lu Huimei asked, and the others also looked at Jiang Xinglong with questioning eyes.

However, Jiang Xinglong still maintained his original posture, looked at the vase motionlessly and continued: "You look carefully. His reaction unconsciously amplified the unease in the hearts of several people.

They slowly circled the vase, their eyes wide open to see what was going on.

The white porcelain vase is printed with beautiful peach blossom branches, with many pink flowers blooming on them, and two small birds standing on the top of the branches. The core of each flower is bright red, with small dots in the middle of the pink petals.

Wait, everyone seemed to see something unusual, and they all stared at the flowers closely. In a dense area of flowers, the red cores seem to be particularly large, and they are all joined together, turning into a large oval shape, and even extending to the brown branches. And this pattern is printed in a place where Jiang Xinglong can see it at a glance.

At this time, Jiang Xinglong slowly walked to the side of everyone, picked up the vase, pointed the red pattern to everyone, and asked, "Look, what does it look like?" His voice was still cold, slow, and panicked. He asked, touching the red spot with the index finger of his other hand and extending the red fingertip to everyone's eyes.

"No, it can't be blood!" Mina covered her mouth.

"Damn it!" Bu He came to the front and looked at it carefully, and after sniffing it, he scolded, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to calm down: "It's blood, it seems to be a bloody finger print, it hasn't dried yet, it seems that the hand with this finger print is very wet, because a large area around the blood is wet with water." ”

After speaking, Buhe suddenly looked at Jiang Xinglong, who was holding the vase, and asked directly: "Mr. Jiang, how did you notice that there was a problem with this vase?" ”

"Me? I just ......" Jiang Xinglong's expression looked dazed, as if he couldn't think of a suitable answer, and seemed to be thinking about another thing at the same time.

Buhe pressed step by step, without slackening: "Under normal circumstances, when you enter the door and see someone falling to the ground, you will definitely pay all your attention to the person who has fallen to the ground, not to mention that we are still in the case of such continuous incidents, and we will not be distracted to look at other places." My uncle and I were both frightened by what was happening in the house as soon as we entered the door, and we were busy solving the matter in front of us, why did you notice the vase? ”

Jiang Xinglong didn't answer Bu He's question right away, he lowered his head to avoid Bu He's gaze, put the vase back in place, and after a pause of a few seconds, Jiang Xinglong suddenly laughed, from twitching his shoulders quietly to laughing loudly, laughing for several minutes before gradually stopping.

He ...... What's wrong with him, isn't he crazy? Motoki said as she snuggled up to her husband.

Lu Huimei and He Mina were already frightened, and unknowingly hid behind Buhe. At this time, Fei Gu, who was lying on the sofa, seemed to have no movement.

After Jiang Xinglong finished laughing, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned to everyone and said half-jokingly: "Do you suspect that I got it?" I directed and acted to scare you? Or do you suspect that I did everything? Maybe I killed my wife, or maybe I killed Liang Yongxin together, but it's not necessarily, right? ”

After speaking, Jiang Xinglong began to chuckle again, as if he was really crazy.

There was a terrible silence in the living room, and in the terrifying atmosphere, the five men and women looked at a middle-aged man who kept smirking until one by one

"Mr. Jiang, take a breath, stop acting, you are not a murderer."

A nice and calm baritone came from the door, it was Luo Yifan who was back, and behind him was a petite woman, who was wearing a gray top and a pair of light-colored jeans, the gray top was not buttoned properly, revealing the pink turtleneck sweater inside.

The woman almost hid behind Luo Yifan, with her head down, unable to see what she looked like, and Luo Yifan's left hand was also behind her back, as if she was holding the woman's hand.

"Yifan!" Hearing the voice of her beloved man, Lu Huimei was inexplicably surprised, she suddenly raised her head to look at the door, and when she saw Luo Yifan standing there dignifiedly, a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Lu Huimei involuntarily walked towards Luo Yifan, and was about to say something like "You're finally back, it's great". But she suddenly stopped again, and the look of surprise on her face instantly brought a bit of surprise and doubt:

"Yifan, who is she?"

Lu Huimei's love for Luo Yifan has always been much deeper and stronger than she imagined, like a fine wine that has been cellared for hundreds or thousands of years, and whenever she tastes it, it is unexpected.

Even in the current situation, Lu Huimei will unconsciously feel sad and jealous when she sees the woman who is clinging to Luo Yifan. Indeed, this woman is pitiful, frightened, and aggrieved in her love. People shouldn't pursue things that don't belong to you, should you?

Although Luo Yifan stood at the door without moving his footsteps or answering questions, he changed his usual evasive and indifferent appearance, and looked at the beautiful and young woman in front of him with a deep gaze, and actually paused for more than ten seconds. For a moment, the stunned Lu Emei even felt that she saw the tenderness and guilt hidden in those eyes.

The two looked at each other for a while, Luo Yifan looked away, secretly adjusted his mood, returned to a sharp and indifferent expression, looked at Jiang Xinglong on the side, and began to explain what he just said.

"Mr. Jiang, first of all, the death of your wife is indeed an accident on the surface, and it happened right in front of everyone's eyes, I think it is very unlikely that you will do something. Of course, I'm not saying it's absolutely impossible. Moreover, in this situation, it is normal for people to have some suspicion of you. Please don't get too excited. Secondly, as far as we know, no one has died except for your wife, and Yongxin is just missing, at most it can only be regarded as uncertain life and death. ”

Saying that, Luo Yifan turned to Buhe and asked, "The one over there is just sick, right?" I guess you know a little bit about medicine, right? ”

"Yes, I studied medicine, and he had a seizure caused by a fright, and his condition seemed to be serious." Buhe replied without thinking.

"Is there a possibility of human poisoning or harm?" Luo Yifan asked.

"Well...... Bu He thought for a moment and replied: "I can't be sure, after all, I'm not a professional doctor, and I can only make rough inferences, so ......"

"In other words, it's still possible, right?"

This time, Buhe just looked at Luo Yifan meaningfully and did not answer.

Ignoring Buhe's reaction, Luo Yifan looked at his watch and said, "At 1:50 in the morning, it's now our second day in Luoquewu, I think everyone has been busy for so long, no one notices the time, right?" ”

Luo Yifan looked around, and the others just nodded mechanically, expecting his next words.

"Everyone should remember that Liang Yongxin hired a maid who went down the mountain yesterday afternoon, and made an appointment to go up the mountain this morning to take care of the housework, right?"

"Yes, swimmer said to me." Motoki replied.

"Well, I don't think you need to look forward to it, she...... Also here last night, didn't go down. ”

Luo Yifan said as he gently pulled the woman behind him and pushed her in front of everyone. The woman looked very timid, kept her head down, and seemed to dare not face everyone's puzzled gaze.

"Who is this?" Bu and asked

Luo Yifan looked at the woman in front of him with encouraging and gentle eyes, patted her on the back, and said, "Come on, tell them what you have seen." ”

"I ......" The woman hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to look up at everyone. This woman has a delicate face and looks very young. She spoke in a slender voice, like a little girl.

"My name is Li Song Weiyi, I am a maid hired by Mr. Liang, I was going down the mountain yesterday, but on the way I suddenly remembered that the oven was not turned off, um... Because it was my first time using these appliances, I was afraid that something would happen if the owner didn't find out, so... So it turned back again......" The maid's face flushed as she said this.

Listening to her words, He Mina's expression looked a little strange, and she seemed to remember something: "...... Well... I remember yesterday when I was serving the food, I looked at the oven and turned it off......"

What He Mina said was actually unintentional, she was just recalling yesterday's scene. But Li Songwei's face was obviously redder, his eyes were flustered, and his two hands kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, like a child who had not grown up.

"Maybe Liang Yongxin was shut down before you saw it?" Luo Yifan interjected.

"Chances are, he's been busy in the kitchen for a while before I went in." He Mina didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed.

Maybe it was Luo Yifan who helped her to play a round relationship, Li Song Weiyi looked a little more relaxed, she exhaled lightly, and continued: "After I returned to the mountain, I was about to go around to the back of the house, but I heard you arguing around the corner. I was too scared to come over and say hello...... So... Hiding in the corner and not coming out. ”

"You're not a child, how can you be afraid of quarrels?" Lu Huimei was puzzled.

"I ...... I'm timid and introverted by nature...... No... I'm not very good at interacting with people, I'm sorry. Li Songwei also apologized softly as if he had done something wrong.

Her performance made Lu Huimei feel relieved, "No matter how bad Yifan is, he won't like a maid, and he is so cowardly." She thought to herself, and at the same time felt a little ashamed that she was still thinking about these things at such a time.

Lu Huimei secretly glanced at the people around her from the corner of her eye, and found that no one paid attention to her expression, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, and then what?" Motoki gently encouraged the maid to continue.

"Later...... The door was shut, and I was hesitating whether to come up and knock on the door, when suddenly Mr. Jiang rushed out like crazy and startled me. …… I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't dare to look at it...... Later, I saw all of you rushing to the front of the house, and ...... Everyone looked panicked......"

Li Songwei also paused, sighed lightly, and continued:

“…… I didn't have the courage to follow, so I sneaked into the house and turned off the oven while no one was around...... Again... ...... who sneaked down the mountain"

"To the point, did you see anything important later?" Bian Benyi frowned impatiently.

Yuan Mu Hibiscus hurriedly reassured him: "Don't worry, let her speak slowly." ”

Luo Yifan also seemed to be very patient at this time: "Let's all sit together, anyway, we can't go down the mountain for the time being, and everyone will be safer together." Let's just listen to her talk slowly, and then let's summarize what happened together and think of a way. ”

"Ahh Just as everyone was about to sit down around the table, He Mina and Yuan Mu Hibiscus suddenly screamed at the same time. They thought of Wei Guigui and his wife, who were still upstairs and had not come down, and the scream that came just now.

"What now? Do you want to go up? Yuan Mu Hibiscus asked after a brief reminder.

"I patronized Fei Gu just now, but I actually ignored them." Buhe looked at Fei Gu on the sofa, and after making sure that he had passed out, he reached out and took out the handkerchief that was wet in his mouth and threw it on the ground, and said, "Why don't you go up and have a look at it together, you can't ignore it." ”

Indeed, although everyone except Luo Yifan and Li Song Weiyi heard Fan Xin'er's screams upstairs, Fei Gu's illness, the bloody finger prints on the vase and Jiang Xinglong's gaffe, as well as the return of Luo Yifan and the maid, all made them have no time to distract themselves from taking care of the upstairs, and it is understandable that they only think about it now.

So, are you going to go up? What happened to Li Songwei? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
