Chapter 7: The Throbbing of Death on a Rainy Night (7)
"Woo woo~~~~" The corridor of the mansion echoed with Lady Grell's cry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Whoever sees her husband's body tragically dead in the hallway will do this.
Originally, Grell saw that her husband was missing, so she went to the owner of the mansion, Lofen, to ask for help. Knowing that something was wrong, Rofin instructed the old butler to gather the guests...... However, it was too late.
At this time, the back of Hynix's neck seems to have been cut out of a large flesh by some sharp weapon, and his face when he died was fear mixed with death.
As the first discoverer of the corpse, Alice leaned aside boredly and yawned.
"Who is it, who is doing such a thing, woo woo woo~~~" Filled with sadness, holding her husband's corpse, Grell lost control of her sanity.
"It looks like it's all about me anymore. Unable to stand the disgusting atmosphere, her fingers twitched her ears, and Alice was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, is it true that Miss didn't see the prisoner's appearance clearly?"
“...... Are you stuffed with mud in your head?" Alice looked back, looking like she was retarded...... It's just mockery, sorry. "What if you see it, what if you don't see it?"
Alice bumped into the prisoner, and as a result, the prisoner dropped the 'loot' and fled...... In the end, while Alice admires the corpse, everyone arrives.
"This ......," the old butler was speechless...... Anyway, this tone is really polite, but he is the housekeeper of this mansion. No, in the old butler's opinion, has this girl changed somewhere?
"Hah, maybe the murderers are hiding among us. With a teasing tone and a non-caring attitude of watching the play, Alice turned around and left without nostalgia.
There are people with all kinds of thoughts left in the same place.
It's just that there are some people missing,
"Master, I'm going to investigate the suspicions of the others. "Now we can only use the method of elimination, and investigate where the maid and the maid were at that time.
“...... Kindness. Looking at the body of Hynix, which had been covered with a white cloth, Lofen fell into deep thought...... It's different from the past, why this murder happened in my own home.
...
......
Still trying to find out what happened to Alice, Neve followed him out of the mansion...... As a result, the heel was lost.
"It's a great deal to meet a beautiful lady here. Jones, who was passing by from the back garden, saw Neve and smiled and said hello, but halfway through the greeting, his tone became unconfident.
Jones looked Neve up and down, a little uncertain, "Marauders in the forest?"
What do you mean?
"According to the information below, a young girl who lives alone appeared in the forest not long ago, and that girl, as a robber, robbed many people's luggage in the name of saving people. "Is this how it was circulated in the outside world?
"......" Neve had the urge to kill all the creatures he had saved in the forest for months.
"But forget it, since the young lady is no longer in the forest, then this piece of information is of little use. "Expired information is useless. Jones replied with some regret...... Originally, in a few days, this information was sold to the enemy who had been cheated by Neve.
"My name is Jones, a freelance journalist. As is customary, when he met someone, Jones took the initiative to hand over his business card with a smile.
"Paparazzi?" Neve subconsciously answered.
“...... Now freelancers are not being falsely decorated. Jones looked annoyed when his profession was described as such, but that anger soon dissipated. "I'm talking to a girl who doesn't know how to be a freelancer, and time will tell," he said with a nonchalant smile.
"Who do you say is the girl?!" Neve was immediately furious!
"I'm sorry about that. It was my slip of the tongue, ma'am. As an ordinary freelance journalist, Jones, who didn't have much force, had little interest in violent women.
With a cold snort, Neve was about to leave.
"I advise Miss to be careful...... There seems to be a great deal of hatred among the guests of this mansion towards you and Miss Alice. Jones watched Neve leave with a smile.
"Don't bother. Neve's figure vanished into the garden.
Forget it, looking at the camera in his hand, Jones was in a very relaxed mood at this time for the information just now...... It's time to use intelligence to negotiate business.
...
...
......
The roof of the mansion,
With amusement to watch Neve, who had been thrown off by herself, scrambled to find herself below, and Alice, who sat on the roof, leaned against the chimney.
"It seems that I have more enemies than I think. He didn't look back. A rather casual look looked at a certain part of the windowsill, "Let's get down to business if we can." ”
On the other side of the roof, two figures appeared.
One is Yona and the other is Goffman.
At this time, Yona stared at Alice uncertainly.
"I don't know who you are, but if I can, I advise you not to do it. Alice yawned. "I don't want to interfere in your affairs with 'her', and I'm not your enemy. The silver-haired girl in the white shirt explained with a headache.
“...... Goffman, kill her. "However, it seems that the negotiations have broken down.
How much do you want Alice to die...... Hawkers, hatred a hundred years ago.
As Yona's words fell, Goffman's body changed, and he began to collide rapidly, crushing the bricks under his feet, and Goffman rushed over like a cannonball.
"Hey, this is someone else's roof, do you pay for the damage?" Alice didn't expect to shoot directly.
Goffman's onslaught was well withstood by Alice raising her hand to parry...... That's weird!
Goffman's clothes exploded at this moment, and the clothes on his back were all burned and torn, revealing the mechanical hardware of the four alchemical motor engines...... With the blessing of Goffman's engine behind her, Alice could feel and convey the sudden increase in pressure on her arm.
"Pretty good force. ”
I can't hold it anymore...... But why hold on?
Alice stopped the wrestling of power and let go of the arm that was blocking.
The opponent's sudden abandonment of resistance was obviously something Goffman did not expect, and the inertia of the forward rush caused his subconscious body to be unbalanced.
The body spun around in the air, facing the side of the other's head, and Alice made a close contact with a powerful knee.
"!!" Goffman was knocked off the villa.
"Really...... It's rare to come out once. Temporarily settling a fellow, her fingers pinching the crossbow arrows that were being fired at her, Alice turned her head unhappily and looked at Yona. "I don't understand, why do the weak fight. ”
"The more I think about it, the more upset I become. "Cut off the bolts in your hand.
"Sure enough, I'd better kill you. The next moment, she suddenly appeared in front of Yona, and Alice grabbed Yona by the neck and lifted her up.
At this moment, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yona's mouth.
"?!" Alice, who saw Yona's smile, subconsciously wanted to mend the knife...... But, to Alice's surprise, this neck is actually - can't be broken?
"Is it possible, your neck is also-" didn't give Alice time to ask a curious question, and the next moment, Goffman, who had been thrown downstairs, actually reappeared behind Alice and began to punch Alice's head.
"Get out of the way!" is a turn of the foot.
But—
The bare foot was directly buckled by Goffman.
Not only that, but Goffman, who grabbed Alice's naked feet, went up and hugged Alice in his arms...... At the same time, the eyes were like indicator lights, and the pupils began to flicker strangely.
This is Yona's last few years of completion, the alchemical android, Goffman.
"Die, witch!" said Yona, who was still pinched by Alice, with some loss of heart.
Boom!
The roof of the mansion exploded gorgeously.
"Sister?!" Neve had noticed the movement on the roof of the mansion from the moment it happened, but he didn't have time. Looking at Alice, who was at the center of the explosion, Neve cried out anxiously.
"What's going on?" Spotting the movement of his mansion, Lovin ran out of the mansion and saw the fire burning on the top of the house, and Lofen's brow furrowed almost into a rope.
"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire!!" the old butler hurriedly summoned his servants to help.
...
......
"Oops, oops. Filming the scene of the burning house with his camera, outside the wall, Jones, who was driven out again, put down the camera a little helplessly. "Why is it that no one wants to believe the truth? "The film that was taken was snatched away, and the other side was unreasonable, which was also something that could not be helped.
"But forget it, the payment is in hand. Kissing the gold in the bag, Jones took one last look at Lorfen's mansion, put on his poncho hat, and disappeared into the night.
......
"Go, Melanel called. "The fire thing is put aside for the time being, and there is something more important at the moment. Lofen pinched the film he 'bought' from a reporter and returned to his study.
“...... Be. "With the help of Neve, a magician, the extinguishing of the fire was much easier, and the old butler who commanded the servants heard the words and obeyed.
A few minutes later-
Mylan came to the study.
The yellow hair color has not been carefully cared for, it is casually put aside, and the clothes have obviously not been washed for many days, and the young man who works in the slaughterhouse, Mylaner, releases a strange smell all over his body.
There is no light in the study, only the ordinary oil lamp on the desk provides the light source, and the dim room gives people a sense of oppression.
"Sir, you call me. Myran's blank eyes gave the impression that he was harmless to humans and animals.
His fingers rhythmically tapped on the top of the desk, and under the coercion of the unilateral glasses, Luo Fen's eyes were quite oppressive. "First question...... Tonight's meat, what kind of meat are you made of. ”
"Hey...... hey" To this question, Mylan just smirked.
"Second question...... You were there when the guest had an accident. The frequency of Lofen's fingers tapping on the table quickened.
"......" Mylanr continued to giggle, like a fool, as if he didn't understand.
The tapping on the table stopped. Lorfin gave Myrall a deep look. The meaning of the eyes is quite complex.
Mylan, his wife's cousin.
Since the disappearance of his wife, Mylan has changed dramatically...... Becoming reticent, stupid, demented.
Loven's wife is a poor person, and her relatives are just one of Myranel, and Lofen, who is sorry for his wife, feels that Myran's change is entirely his responsibility.
However, no matter what, Lofin would never have imagined that Mylan he's-
The reporter's judgment was right, and the film is the evidence! Therefore, after learning the truth, the first thing Luo Fen did was whether to kill the reporter and destroy the truth...... However, the reporter was very clever and ran away.
Why, Myran, would he do such a thing?
"See for yourself. The answer was obvious, and he couldn't ask any more questions, and the deep exhaustion in his brain made Rofen close his eyes and throw the film out of his hand.
Myerland's sluggish expression was obviously a little surprised, after he picked up the film and looked through the faint light of the oil lamp, what Lofen didn't notice was that at this moment, Myran's godless pupils flashed a trace of coldness.
"In the next few days, I will arrange for the housekeeper to find you a good place to go......" With his hands propped up on the table and the back of his hands against his forehead, Luo Fen said tiredly...... That's all he can do for Myran.
If Lofin had raised his head at this time, he should have been able to notice the evil hand that Mylan had stretched out towards him.
......
"Thank you for the help of the guests. "After putting out the fire, the scene was being cleaned up, and the old butler bowed to Neve in respect.
"Excuse me, help me find some plasters. However, Neve was not interested. Neve examined Alice's injuries as she had passed out, and carefully carried them on her back.
"It's nature. The old butler was not angry about Neve's attitude...... Or maybe it's excusable.
There were a lot of weird things going on tonight, first people died, and then there was a fire...... After this night, the old housekeeper felt that his already old self seemed to be speeding up his life.
Watching Neve leave, the old butler walked towards the study and reported his final work.
However, when I came to the door of the master's study again, I found that the door of the master's study was open, which surprised the old housekeeper...... The lord should not be such a careless person.
When the old housekeeper came to the study, he saw that there was no old man and Mylaner in the study.
Moreover, the study was very chaotic, as if there was a fight, and everywhere you could see the tables and chairs that had been turned over, and the classics that had fallen to the ground.
Realizing that something was wrong, the old housekeeper searched around the study, and finally found Profen lying on the ground unconscious...... There was some faint blood on his forehead, which seemed to be a coma caused by a blow to the head.
"Master!" Seeing this scene, the old butler hurriedly stepped forward to help Lorfen, and at the same time probed his hand between Lorfen's nose.
As everyone knows, the murderer doesn't seem to have left?
-- Behind the old butler, he raised the silver hook in his hand, and in the darkness showed the murderer's evil smile.
......
