As the noisy crowd followed the housekeeper Liu Wei to the restaurant in the main building of the castle, the entire huge manor garden on the other side suddenly changed from extremely noisy to surprisingly quiet, only those messy tables and street lamps covered with white paper lanterns showed the hustle and bustle here in the previous moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I helped Mu Zihan take photos of the crime scene when I felt such a change, and I felt an indescribable sense of disparity in my heart, and I couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "Hey, this kind of thing still happened." ”

After Mu Zihan roughly examined the corpse, and covered the corpse with the white tablecloth I brought from the dining table before, he also said solemnly: "There will be an incident, in fact, you and I have a premonition." However, what I didn't expect was that I had tried my best to stop it, and even I thought that this murderer should have no chance to commit the crime, but he still succeeded in committing the murder. ”

"What's going on?" I heard Mu Zihan's words and asked.

"Actually, before the burning of paper began, I pretended to be looking for clues hidden in the garden to indicate the identity of the owner of the manor, and after deliberately avoiding the housekeeper and others, I went to check the things that were put in the warehouse to be burned, especially the paper boats. However, I checked all three paper boats inside and out, and I didn't find anyone inside. Mu Zihan pondered and said, "From the time I left after the inspection to the burning of the paper boat, it was less than half an hour. And because the paper has been burned during this period, there have been housekeepers walking around to carry it. How did the murderer take advantage of this half an hour to put the deceased into the paper boat unconsciously, and let the housekeeper take the deceased and the paper boat into the fire together. The main thing is that the deceased was apparently still alive before being thrown into the fire? ”

Just as I began to think, the old butler who went to the police hurriedly ran over, his face full of panic, and he didn't run in front of us. He shouted at us: "It's not good, I just checked all the telephones in the housekeeper's building that can make outside calls, and all the telephone lines have been cut." ”

"What? What about the phone in our room? Mu Zihan was startled and asked.

"Those calls are only available internally. Only the butler's building has an outside phone that can make outside calls. The old butler came to us and replied breathlessly.

"The mobile phone has no signal, and the phone line has been cut again, so haven't we completely lost contact with the outside world?" I panicked and said, "Could this be the murderer's plan?" ”

"Not good, what about the car that took us to the manor?" Mu Zihan screamed and asked urgently.

Then he hurriedly urged the old butler to take us to the parking place, and then we saw three cars in the underground parking garage of the manor. Seeing that the car was in good condition, I didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and when I saw the empty tires of the car, my heart sank again. Apparently all the tires of the car had been punctured with sharp objects, and there was no way to drive again.

"Steward Liu, how many roads are there from the nearest town, can you walk there? Also, since the two locked towers were originally your master's residence, I think there should be outside calls inside. In addition, now it is obvious that this mid-year festival can no longer continue, so you can tell me honestly, which one is your master? Anyway, I'm not interested in that mysterious gift. Mu Zihan looked at the old housekeeper Liu Zhen with a surprisingly serious look and asked.

"It's a valley deeper on the back of the ghost town of Fengdu, at least a hundred kilometers away from the nearest market. Also, the surrounding area is densely forested, and it is too dangerous to walk. The old butler replied, "Also, it's not that I don't want to, but even our butler can't enter the two towers, because it's not us who lock the towers, it's the master himself, and he alone has the key." As for the identity of the master...... "Speaking of this, the old butler stopped talking.

I thought he was suspicious of us, so I said, "Don't worry, whether it's me or Mu Zihan, we are not interested in that mysterious gift, we just want to contact the police as quickly as possible." ”

"Hey, you don't know, although we have both met the master, but we don't know the master." After the old butler finished speaking contradictoryly, he paused for a moment before he spoke again: "Our master is called 'Count Butterfly' by his friends, because he is like the legendary Count Dracula all year round, wearing a large black cloak to cover his figure, and always wearing a golden butterfly mask on his face. Saying that, the old housekeeper sighed helplessly: "Hey, I think you should also know that rich people like this, they all have some weird habits, and those of us who are subordinates have no choice." ”

"I see, I think we'll go back to the restaurant first, I hope your master can stand up by himself then, otherwise, we will have to forcibly pry open the door lock of the twin towers." After Mu Zihan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the restaurant, I could see that he was in a bad mood now.

Actually, we can't blame him for being so angry, but from the moment we arrived at this manor, or from the moment we received the invitation, everything felt indescribably weird, as if there was an invisible and untouchable hand manipulating everything.

"Mr. Mu, maybe, I just said maybe, if my master doesn't come out, we may not have the opportunity to open the Twin Towers." The old butler, who was walking with us to the restaurant, suddenly spoke when we were about to enter the restaurant.

"Why?" Mu Zihan asked as he pushed open the door.

"Because the structure of the twin towers is actually part of the ancient castle of Europe, its door lock is also a mechanism left at that time, if it is not opened with a specific key, once the door lock is broken, not only the entire door, but even the entire tower will fall apart and collapse." The old butler replied in a low voice.

"Perverted." After listening to the old housekeeper's words, Mu Zihan's face became even colder, and he stopped paying attention to the old housekeeper and walked into the restaurant. Looking at the people in the restaurant who were still talking, he said loudly: "The owner of the manor on the other side, now that something like this has happened, the celebration is obviously impossible, I think you should show up, we need you to provide the key to the twin towers, so that we can use the phone inside to contact the police." ”

However, although because of Mu Zihan's words, the entire restaurant was suddenly quiet, but the owner of the manor never stood up.

After waiting for a while, seeing the crowd still silent, I couldn't help but exclaim, "I know you like to keep it mysterious, but is it still time to play mystery?" Let me tell you, all the external telephone lines in the butler's house have been cut; We have no signal on our phones; The tires of all the cars in the manor were punctured; The walk to the nearest town is more than a hundred kilometers, and there is a dense jungle along the way. So now the only hope to contact the outside world is your phone in the twin towers, if you don't come out, it is equivalent to confined us to this manor where there are murderous murderers...... "I said very excitedly, I really hope that the owner of the manor who likes a sense of mystery can listen to my words and move himself to come out, otherwise we may really be completely isolated."

However, contrary to my expectations, just when I was about to continue to speak emotionally, Mu Zihan stopped me and whispered in my ear: "Siyuan, don't say it, it's useless to say it again." I now suspect that the owner of this manor is either the deceased or the perpetrator of the murder. The current situation may be what he wants most, and it is also what he planned. ”
