Chapter 40: The Death of Mr. Qin

Flickering lights!

A room that alternates light and dark!

Su Le stared at the doll he placed beside the bed.

The doll's mouth opened and closed at the moment, and the face that originally looked cute and immature showed a weird smile. (Brothers, give a picture)

Su Le's cold hair stood on end, could it be that this was a copy of the Spiritual Ruins Realm?

"No...... No, even in the Spiritual Ruins Realm, ghosts must abide by certain rules when killing people, otherwise no one can live. ”

When they entered this ruin realm, all their abilities including items were sealed, and if the ghosts could kill people at will, then no one could live in this ruin realm.

This doesn't fit the setting of the Ruins.

Although the ruins are dangerous, they will definitely not leave a glimmer of life.

The housekeeper was in a hurry to let him into the guest room to rest, and Mao Zhihui asked him not to go out of the room no matter what......

Su Le's eyes lit up, could it be that this ghost killing had something to do with walking out of the room?

Will you be killed by a ghost when you walk out of the room?

The next moment, Su Le took the doll over, his eyes staring at the doll's mouth, this nursery rhyme in the doll's mouth could not be just to be scary.

One, two, three...... Eight children come together to solve the case.

Su Le remembered the content of the nursery rhyme in his heart, but the doll kept repeating these words, and there was nothing else.

[Listening to the doll's words over and over again, your heart became irritable, and you directly tore the doll in half. 】

What is it?

Seeing that a message suddenly appeared in front of him, Su Le was stunned for a moment, is this to guide his behavior?

After moaning for a while, Su Le finally tore the doll in half, and the sound of the nursery rhyme stopped abruptly.

[The doll was torn apart by you, the nasty sound was gone, and you slept peacefully to meet the sun tomorrow. 】

Looking at the text reminder that appeared again, the corners of Su Le's mouth twitched, and finally decided to follow the text.

Sleep, sleep!

……

The next day, dawn!

Su Le was awakened by a knock on the door.

"It seems that you slept soundly last night, aren't you police very curious?"

It was Mao Zhihui who knocked on the door, Su Le looked at his bloodshot eyes, and asked curiously, "What's going on with that nursery rhyme?" ”

"Did you hear that? I thought you didn't have a doll in your room, but no, if you heard it, how could you sleep so sweetly? ”

Mao Zhihui looked at Su Le with suspicious eyes, and said after half a ring: "This ancient castle has a haunted legend, and it is said that every eight o'clock in the evening, there will be a nursery rhyme, and it is only safe to stay in a room with dolls." ”

"What are you two muttering early in the morning, let's go down to eat."

In the guest room on the far left, Chen Jun walked out of the room with a yawn, asked Su Le and Mao Zhihui, and then walked downstairs.

"Let's go, let's go down and dine."

Mao Zhihui didn't continue to talk to Su Le, but also walked downstairs, and when Su Le walked to the restaurant, he found that all eight people had arrived.

No one had any accidents.

"This castle is so weird, I didn't sleep well all night because of the nursery rhyme yesterday, and I was sleepy."

Chen Jun didn't look like he had slept well, but Lu Jiaojiao suddenly smiled, glanced at Zheng Yanru, and said, "Was Mr. Chen scared last night, or was he overworked." ”

Hey!

Chen Jun smiled and didn't respond, Zheng Yanru dined elegantly, and also didn't speak.

The table was quiet again, but soon everyone was attracted by the sound of footsteps, and their eyes looked in the direction from which the sound came, and the butler was hurrying towards it.

As a housekeeper, the most basic training is to walk silently, what happens to make an old housekeeper ignore the rules of walking softly?

Su Le had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, something has happened to you!" The housekeeper looked very panicked and said, "The master died in the study last night. ”

"What, Mr. Qin is dead!"

The first to react was Mao Zhihui, who stood up from the chair all of a sudden, and her expression became extremely excited.

"Take us to the study."

No one is in the mood to dine, and so is Su Le, although he doesn't know what the plot of this ruin realm is, but the novelist Mr. Qin must be an important person to promote the plot.

"On the third floor, there is only the master's bedroom and study, and the master usually doesn't like to be disturbed when he creates, so we rarely come to the third floor, this morning is the new book launch, and the servant came up and knocked on the door, only to find that the master died in the study."

When Su Le walked into the study, he saw a bloody scene, a middle-aged man was lying on the messy books, his hands were gone, and the blood flowed down the broken arm, but it didn't spread far, because it was absorbed by the books below.

"This ...... This is really a ghost killing, and the rumors are true. ”

Mao Zhihui suddenly exclaimed, but Su Le noticed that the expression on his face was not fear but excitement.

"What the hell kills, what's going on? I came here to talk to Mr. Qin about the copyright of the novel. ”

"I'm so scared." Zheng Yanru glanced at the corpse, and quickly retracted her head and hid behind Chen Jun.

"I'll check Mr. Qin's body first."

Zhang Feiyu walked out of the crowd, walked to Mr. Qin, and squatted down, although he is not a forensic doctor, but as a doctor, he knows the human body best.

"Is Mr. Qin really dead?"

Seeing Zhang Feiyu flipping this body, Liao Huiying still couldn't believe it.

Zhang Feiyu didn't answer immediately, and after a minute, he stood up and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qin is indeed dead. ”

"So it seems that the rumors that the castle is haunted are true." Mao Zhihui muttered.

"What the hell, what the former master, tell everything you know, don't hide it." Chen Jun looked at Mao Zhihui dissatisfied, and everyone else also looked at him at this moment.

"I don't know much, I searched before I came to the castle, only to know that there is a haunted rumor in this castle, when a nursery rhyme sounds, the ghost in the castle will come out, and if anyone is not in the room at this time, they will be killed."

Mao Zhihui spread his hands, indicating that there was only so much he knew.

"According to what you said, it is impossible for Mr. Qin not to know this, how could he be killed by ghosts."

Lawyer Jiang Rui touched the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose, since yesterday the housekeeper was in a hurry to let them into the guest room, it shows that Mr. Qin also knows about hauntings, let alone violates the rules of ghost killing.

"I don't know about this, I'll have to ask the housekeeper."

Shout!

Everyone's attention turned to the butler, and the butler said with a helpless expression: "Everyone, what Mr. Mao said is right, the master will buy this castle, and it is precisely because he knows that there are ghosts in the castle." ”

The housekeeper's people made the expressions of everyone present except Mao Zhihui become serious.

I know that there are ghosts in the castle and still buy it to live in, what do you want?

"The old man is a mystery novelist, he heard the rumors of the haunting of the castle, he was very curious about the castle, and he felt that the castle could provide him with inspiration."

"The lord has lived in the castle for a month, and I went into the lord's study yesterday to report the news that the guests have arrived, and the lord looked a little excited, and he said that he was about to crack the truth about the haunting of the castle."

[The housekeeper mentioned the truth, what is this truth?] 】

The text reminded again, the corners of Su Le's mouth twitched, and he said, "Housekeeper, what is the truth that Mr. Qin said?" ”

"I don't know, after the lord bought the castle, he began to study everything in the castle, maybe the truth is the identity and origin of the ghosts in the castle." The housekeeper did not confirm the answer.

"Whatever he is, I won't stay in this castle, I'll leave now." Chen Jun wanted to leave, but the butler shook his head and said, "It's too late to leave now, yesterday after the guests arrived, the master ordered the gate of the ancient castle to be closed." ”

"You fart, if that's the case, how did those servants get in and out of the castle?"

"I didn't see any servants this morning."

Jiang Rui suddenly added at this time, which made everyone's expressions a little more ugly.

"My lord let all the servants go last night, and I arranged breakfast for you this morning."

"You can open the door when it's closed, but can't you just open it again?"

"Yes, let's just open the door and go out." Zheng Yanru also hurriedly spoke, pulled Chen Jun's arm, and said, "Mr. Chen, let's leave." ”

Chen Jun and Zheng Yanru didn't care about the others, they left the room and walked downstairs, Su Le and the others glanced at each other, although everyone didn't say anything, but obviously they had the same idea as Chen Jun.

Haunted castles, of course, the sooner you leave, the better.

Several people then followed out of the room, but when they walked to the living room on the first floor, they found Chen Jun and Zheng Yanru standing in the hall with ugly faces.

"The door is locked from the outside and can't be opened."

"It's locked outside, you can call someone to open it."

Others also tried it and found that it really couldn't be opened.

"This castle doesn't seem to have windows, and I see that there are no windows in this hall and in the guest rooms."

After Mao Zhihui said this, everyone looked at the butler, who knew the castle best.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the castle has no windows, and I have just tried to make a phone call, but the phone can't get through, and the mobile phone signal is gone."

The butler's words made the hearts of those present sink, there were no windows, the door was locked again, and there was no signal, which meant that they could not get out for a short time.

[You are trapped in the castle and can't get out, and your mood is inevitably a little irritable, think about what the butler said, maybe you can find useful information. 】

The text reminder appeared, Su Le pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, but Liao Huiying spoke first.

"Mr. Qin said that he was going to unlock the secret of the ancient castle, but he was killed by a ghost, is it possible that anyone who knows the secret of this ghost will die?"

"It's definitely not that simple, butler, what's the matter with the doll in the guest room?" Jiang Rui's eyes lit up and asked.

You look at the butler because you're also interested in this question, and your gut tells you that this question is likely to be the key clue to unlocking the castle ghosts. 】

Su Le: Uh......

"These dolls were originally in the castle, and they were put in the guest room by the master, and I don't know about the rest."

Facing this housekeeper who didn't know anything, the people present were also a little speechless.

[You are the director of the Peace Administration, and now someone has died, which has aroused your professional interest, and you want to know what happened in this castle, and persuade everyone to explore the truth about the castle together. 】

Seeing this news, the corners of Su Le's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say that he was not interested.

But thinking that this is a role-playing ruins, this may be a requirement for one's own interpretation.

"We can't get out now, if that ghost continues to kill, will it be our turn at night, after all, Mr. Qin is dead, I think the most important thing for us at the moment is to know the origin of the ghost."

Su Le Langlang spoke, his gaze swept over the other seven people present.

"I agree." Jiang Rui was the first to nod.

"I also feel the need for it."

"Hey, that's my favorite thing to do."

Zhang Feiyu and Mao Zhihui then agreed with Su Le's words, and Liao Huiying looked at everyone and nodded.

"I don't care." Lu Jiaojiao is very casual.

"I listen to Mr. Chen." Zheng Yanru looked at Chen Jun, Chen Jun took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, Zheng Yanru took out a small lighter and lit it.

"Okay, but I'll figure it out."
