Chapter 8: Lang Xiaobai is trapped
"That guy doesn't know yet, does he?"
"It seems to be a little conscious. After returning home last night, I started to pack my belongings and probably want to escape. ”
"How do you know?"
"I've already bought off his cook, and she's reporting to me about his actions. When the Security Service came to arrest him, she promised to be his guide!"
"Doesn't he have any family members and other servants?"
"Nope. The cook said that he lived here alone, reading books all day, rarely going out, and rarely meeting guests. She had always thought of him as a scholar. Because he worked too hard, he delayed the marriage. However, she said that a woman wearing a veil had come several times. ”
"What kind of woman is it?"
"She said because the woman was wearing a veil and couldn't see clearly, she could be a pretty woman."
"It can't be Xiao Xiurong, right?"
"I thought so too. Yes! By the way, Xiao Xiurong attempted suicide last night and was rescued. ”
"Huh! She wants to kill herself? Really?"
Lang Xiaobai's surprised voice had just stopped, when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind. Looking back, Lu Shu was standing there with a pale face.
Did she come in to eavesdrop on the phone, or did she come in to report something? Why did he cry out in fright when he heard that his wife was going to commit suicide? Lang Xiaobai felt very strange in his heart.
After Lu Shu was discovered by Lang Xiaobai, he immediately ran to the study in a panic. After she left, Lang Xiaobai continued to ask: "Did Xiao Xiurong commit suicide by taking poison?"
"She's ...... Yes! Deputy Inspector Lu Pei led a large number of security guards. See you soon!"
"Wait a minute, I'll be over right now!"
Lang Xiaobai put down the telephone and was just about to walk out of the phone room, when there was a sudden loud noise above his head, as if a huge gear was turning violently.
"Rolling, rolling, rolling......"
"Oops!" He couldn't help but take a few steps back. At this moment, a black iron gate fell from above, blocking the door of the telephone room.
In an instant, the lights went out, and the surroundings became pitch black.
Lang Xiaobai touched it with his hand and touched a large iron plate; The front and back, the left and right sides are the same as the top of the head, and they are all cold and large iron plates. At this time, he realized that he had been locked up in a large iron cabinet.
"What the hell is going on? It must have been the merchant who had laid down the mechanism when he lived. When I turned this little house into a telephone room, I didn't find the mechanism, so I was locked up today. But what about the iron plate that fell on its own? Or is it being controlled?"
Lang Xiaobai thought about it for a while, and then slammed the iron plate hard. However, to no avail, the iron plate did not move, and there was no reaction from the outside.
"Strange, Lu Shu should be there! Why didn't she bother it? Where did she go?"
Lang Xiaobai finally stopped beating and listened attentively to the movement outside. However, it was as quiet as a graveyard.
"Such a loud voice, Lu Shu should be able to hear it, where is she? Are you locked up in another house?"
Thinking of this, Lang Xiaobai suddenly changed his mind.
"Maybe she's manipulating this mechanism. According to the expression of eavesdropping on the phone just now, when she heard that Xiao Xiurong was going to commit suicide, her face changed, which was really suspicious. Who the hell is she? She, like the other servants, was the same person the merchant had employed. Due to a moment of negligence, I didn't check her background, and I left her, which led to today's misfortune. She has no grudge against me, and there is no reason to put me in the iron cabinet...... But do others have an enmity against me? I don't understand this, but I must figure it out when I escape. ”
Lang Xiaobai was in the dark house, desperately groping, hoping to find a way out. However, when he didn't find a way out, he found a small ventilation hole in the top of his head.
"Can you survive even though you have enough air, no water, no food? Locked up in this coffin of a living person, if no one gets me out, in a few days, I will be mummified......"
Lang Xiaobai, who has never been afraid of death, couldn't help but tremble when he thought of this.
Lang Xiaobai was held hostage by the terrible Grim Reaper. Very depressed, he sat down, waiting for fate.
