The white mask on George Brown's face had fallen off, revealing the scars of his face full of burns, his eyes were rolling, his mouth was wide open, the corners of his mouth and eyelids were still twitching, apparently the muscles of his freshly severed head were still twitching, and his expression was as if he didn't believe he was dead at all.

Han Daring was busy smashing the door and kicking the door with his fists and feet, but the iron door was very thick and to no avail. At this moment, the sound of armor sounded inside the iron gate again, and after a sound, it was suddenly dark inside the iron gate, and nothing could be seen.

Han Daring told Lao Cai and the guests what he saw, everyone was taken aback after hearing it, some people thought that they didn't know Han Dada'er's identity, and they were very suspicious of what he said, at this time Zhao Jingsheng, who had been silent for a long time, said:

"You don't have to doubt what this Mr. Han said in front of you, he is the detective who has repeatedly solved strange cases in Tianjin, Han Zhigang! So I'm sure what he saw was real! ”

Everyone had heard of Han Daring's name, and when they learned that the big man in front of them was actually a detective from Jinmen, they no longer had doubts.

In fact, from the sound of armor in the basement just now, and George Brown's screams, you can guess what happened, the sound of the blade chopping may be the movement of the head, and the sound of the ball falling to the ground must be the sound of a human head rolling down.

Coupled with the sound of armor that everyone heard just now, but they couldn't see the person in iron armor appearing, this strange atmosphere spread instantly, and everyone was unwilling to stay in this underground corridor for a moment longer, and they all rushed to go up.

Han Daring urged Lao Cai to find the key to open the iron door, but Lao Cai said that there were many antiques and treasures stored in this secret room, so George Brown rarely let people in, and Lao Cai only went in a few times when he helped George Brown count the collections.

The iron gate did have two keys, one George Brown carried with him, and the other was hidden in the Red Keep, and he didn't know where it was placed.

Han Daring was about to continue to ask Lao Cai, but Zhao Jingsheng next to him spoke again:

"This housekeeper, you can go to the police first, this is the British Concession, you should notify the police of the Ministry of Industry!"

Lao Cai nodded.

Zhao Jingsheng said again:

"Is there another exit from the iron gate?"

Lao Cai shook his head and said:

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be, just small vents and iron grates!"

Zhao Jingsheng said:

"Since I don't know where the second key is, I don't know if I can allow you to look for it! But after finding the key, open the door carefully, the murderer should still be inside! ”

After saying this, he waved his hand lightly, and the strong entourage beside him stepped forward, and Zhao Jingsheng said:

"When the time comes, I can let my entourage "Chen Jiu" open the door, even if there is danger, he should be able to deal with it! ”

Everything Han Daring wanted to say was finished by Zhao Jingsheng. Even when he met the murderer, the things that were responsible for the fight were arranged. For a while, I felt that I was completely useless.

Han boldly thought that he was a police officer in the Chinese community, and the case in the British Concession really could not be interfered with, and the layout of reporting for work was the best choice, thinking that the current situation was unclear. He wanted to instruct Lao Cai to let all the servants politely guard the front and back doors, and all the guests could not leave for the time being, but Zhao Jingsheng also thought of this, and had already instructed Lao Cai to do it.

Han Daring suddenly looked at the rich boy in front of him, and he didn't expect him to be so calm and clear-minded. Although he has a feeling that heroes are useless, he is more of an admirer of Zhao Jingsheng. He saw the murder himself, and he just listened to his own story, but he didn't doubt it, which shows his gentlemanly demeanor to be unsuspicious. I suddenly had a feeling of wanting to make friends with him, but this feeling was only fleeting.

Now that the murder case is in front of him, Han Daring thinks that before the Ministry of Industry Bureau comes, he will collect as much case information as possible, and if he finds the iron door key, he must protect the scene. Besides, the murderer is still inside, and there may be a fight.

Although Zhao Jingsheng's entourage "Chen Jiu" is by no means an ordinary person, he still has to be fully prepared, after all, there are many strange people like the monkey-faced mask man, I don't know how many people there are in this world, if he underestimates the enemy, not only will he suffer at that time, but even Bai Chongwei, who brought himself, and his good friend Xiao Jew, as well as the full house, may be in danger.

Since there was no exit behind the iron gate, Chen Jiu guarded in front of the iron gate to prevent the murderer from suddenly opening the iron gate and escaping. Han Daring remembered the sound of the iron armor he heard just now, so he wanted to go back to the second floor to see the knight's armor, but he didn't worry that Chen Jiu was guarding the door alone, so he asked Lao Cai, and learned that the iron door was open outward, so he asked Xiao Jude and Lao Cai to find something to hold the iron door first.

Zhao Jingsheng saw Han Daring's intentions, although he had absolute confidence in his entourage, but he also understood that Han Dada'er arranged it in order to make a fool's plan, so he nodded slightly to Han Da'er to express his gratitude and approval.

Han Daring remembered that when he went upstairs just now, he also caught a glimpse of the armor in the corridor on the second floor, he ran back to the corridor on the second floor from the basement, but he saw that the armor with the velvet burqa had disappeared from the place where the knight's armor was originally placed. The glass display case on the outside of the armor is also still in place. The sword hanging high on the left side was still there, but the armor was missing.

He was afraid that the armor would be deliberately hidden, so he searched around. But there is nothing but a few glass box displays and oil paintings on the walls.

Han Da'er even searched behind the velvet curtains of the corridor windows, but found no trace of the iron armor. He thought to himself, just now he heard the sound of metal armor from the iron armor walking, and then he saw George Brown in a different place, and now the heavy iron armor has also disappeared.

If someone deliberately removes the armor while everyone is not paying attention, they must first move the Roman column and the glass display box on it. Han Da'er had tapped the armor before, and felt that the armor was made of thick iron and was very heavy.

Now he reached out again and tried to push the display box, but with a lot of effort he could barely push. Everything that happened just now was only a short period of time, and unless several people were working together, it would not be enough time for one or two people to push the glass display case and remove the armor.

Could it really be that Iron Armor turned into an invisible ghost and killed George Brown?

This thought only flashed through Han Da'er's mind, he never believed in ghosts and gods, and the things of the underworld were even more illusory. He only believes that people's hearts are sinister, better than mountains and rivers, and he knows that the murder of the Red Fort in front of him must have something else.

He thought about it, the murderer still locked himself in the basement, even if there were accomplices outside, as long as the murderer could not escape from the locked basement, as soon as the door was opened, the truth would be revealed.

Unless the iron door of the basement is opened, and the knight in armor is really inside, isn't it very stupid to so-called suspicious array?

Han Dada'er took advantage of the fact that no one from the Ministry of Industry Bureau came, and checked room by room on the second floor. On the second floor there are four guest rooms, one cloakroom.

The rooms were fully furnished with beds and furniture, but there was no sign of the vanished armor. There are many suits and coats hanging in the cloakroom, and many pairs of leather shoes and top hats are placed on the shelves. Other than that, I couldn't find that armor.

There were still a few guests on the first floor who looked at the stairs with their eyes, and according to the size of the armor, even if it could be moved, it was impossible to move from the stairs to the first floor without being noticed.

Han Daring returned to George Brown's room, at this time, Xiao Jew and Zhao Jingsheng both returned to the ground from the basement, and there was no movement in the iron door, and the murderer inside did not look like he was going to come out, so only Zhao Jingsheng's entourage Chen Jiu was left in the underground corridor, and one person guarded the iron door.

The little Jew saw that Zhao Jingsheng looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and waited for the student to ask Han Da'er. He learned that Zhao Jingsheng was the handsome boy who was sitting in the car with Mei Ruohong, and he immediately lost his good impression of Zhao Jingsheng, but worried about Han Da'er:

"Your rival in love not only has a high status, but also has a very good brain, if people want to chase Mei Ruohong, you will be in danger!"

At the moment of the case, Han Da'er didn't have the heart to think about anything else, just glanced at the little Jew, and continued to look around for clues.

The little Jew ignored that and whispered:

"Whatever! Anyway, my daughter-in-law is not mine, who is in a hurry who knows! ”

At this time, Han Daring found a small bottle in George Brown's study, in the desk drawer, and there were some brown and black things in the bottle, like paint, and he was picking it up and looking at it.

Zhao Jingsheng on the side saw it and said:

"This could be a dye to dye some fabrics, and it could also dye hair!"

Han Da'er looked at some old bronzes and some tools on the table, so he speculated that this was a dye used to restore antiquities. He opened another drawer, and it was stuck in the middle. He reached in and groped, but suddenly felt a tingling pain. When I pulled out my hand, I realized that my finger had been scratched by something and was bleeding.

Zhao Jingsheng took out a white silk handkerchief, handed it to Han Da'er, and motioned for him to bandage the wound first. Han Daring thought that the mouth was not deep, so he put his hand to his lips and sucked a few times, but although he didn't need stitches to scratch his fingers, the wound was not shallow, and he didn't bring a handkerchief today, so he could only nod his head in thanks, and then took Zhao Jingsheng's handkerchief and covered the wound on his finger.

Han Daring pulled the drawer hard, only to find that in order to pull the drawer smoothly, the drawer was originally holding a thin iron sheet on both sides, but this iron sheet was loose, and the edge of the opening cut Han Daring's fingers. There was nothing in the drawer, only some unrecognizable gadgets, and nothing else.

Han Daring saw that he couldn't find any useful clues, so he went down to the first floor and wanted to ask Lao Cai for some clues. When he left the study, Han Daring felt that there seemed to be something missing from the previous cases. He stepped forward to inspect the stacked antiquities, and found that the porcelain, bronze jue, and jade were still there, except for a bronze mirror the size of a palm.

He thought that it must be someone who had just come to the study to lead the sheep. But why don't you take a small piece of jade porcelain, but take a small bronze mirror? He didn't know much about antiquities, so he couldn't speculate on the value of the items. But he had heard that gold was priceless and jade was priceless, and porcelain was the most antique, and in his cognition, he thought that these things should be worth much more than the small bronze mirror. So he thought that maybe it was because the bronze mirror was small and easy to hide, so he stole it. He didn't expect that the small bronze mirror was far from being as simple as he thought.

The servants searched for Lao Cai and Han Daring on the second floor, but they couldn't find the key to the subway door, so they could only wait for the police from the Ministry of Industry Bureau to come, and then find a way to open the iron door.

At this time, the guests in the hall on the first floor were basically listless, and some wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the housekeeper Lao Cai and the servants at the door kept dissuading them, causing some guests to make a lot of noise. Others talk to the people around them about what is happening here.

Yan Zhiyi, Gao Yunlong and others gathered together and didn't know what they were talking about. The Countess and Jean-Pierre were also whispering solemnly. Han Daring briefly told everyone about the disappearance of the armor on the second floor, Han Daring thought that many of the guests who came today had received modern education, and most of them should be atheists, but who would have thought that as soon as they heard that the armor disappeared, especially the few people who had been to the underground corridor together before, they began to have a panic and uneasiness.

Recently, the revenge of the resentful spirit of the Yellow Lotus Holy Mother shining in the red light in the concession has been in an uproar, and the original murder case has also been spread by some people, and it has even been rumored that the resentful spirit of the Yellow Lotus Holy Mother can be attached to the object and take revenge on his enemies.

The few people who went to the underground corridor with Han Daring just now, except for Zhao Jingsheng, who is very rational and has nothing to do with the little Jew, among the other people, Yan Zhiyi is an atheist, and the others who have heard the sound of knights walking in armor have begun to believe that George Brown died at the hands of resentful spirits, and some people also talk that George Brown was one of the culprits who killed the Yellow Lotus Mother Lin Hei'er back then.

When the hall was chaotic and noisy, the Japanese Morishitaro who was thrown out by Han Daring just now and fell unconscious also woke up. Constantly swearing, making a lot of noise. Knowing that George Brown had been beheaded in the secret room, he ran to the second floor while cursing, insisting on going to see the scene.

Han Daring was tired of this little devil, caught up in front of it in two steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed back, and Morishhiro fell backwards. He got up and jumped like thunder, Han Daring glared at him, although this guy was grunting in his mouth, he didn't dare to approach Han Daring again.

Han Daring was just about to ask Lao Cai about the situation, at this moment, there was a sudden barking of dogs outside the Red Fort, and after a while, the inspector of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, Martin G Foxx, walked into the Red Fort with more than a dozen British policemen wearing black police uniforms and helmets.

Martin saw Han Da'er and Bai Chongwei there, said hello briefly, and then arranged for two police officers to guard the door and not let anyone leave. He led the officers to the corridor of the basement and banged and shouted in front of the iron door, but the door was dead silent.

Martin and George Brown have known each other and have been to the Red Fort a few times before, so they know a little bit about it. While asking Lao Cai about what happened today, the identities of all the guests, and the incident, he asked the police to search for the spare key to the iron door in George Brown's bedroom study.

At this time, not to mention Han Dada'er, even Zhao Jingsheng couldn't interject at all. Martin, the British, is relatively tough, and he does not want any outsiders to interfere in the case of the British Concession. Han Daring wanted to provide some discovery, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Martin.

Martin didn't know Han Daring'er's identity, and felt that a layman's random advice would mess up the clues of the case, so he completely wanted to hear Han Daring'er's discovery.

Bai Chongwei did not introduce Martin's identity to Han Daring at the DD Western Restaurant. At this time, Bai Chongwei introduced:

"My friend, Mr. Han, is a detective in the Chinese world, and has solved many big cases, and he solved the previous water ghost case and floating corpse case, if she helps, I believe that the case can be clarified faster!"

Bai Chongwei thought that Martin's attitude would change after hearing Han Daring's identity, but he didn't expect that Martin still had that cold face, and his eyes said arrogantly:

"This is the British Concession, that is, the territory of the British Empire, and there is no need for a Chinese policeman to dictate here."

After listening to the arrogant words of the British policeman, Han Daring wanted to lean on the mountain with an elbow and beat this Martin all over the ground to find his teeth, but he still suppressed his anger, after all, it is the key to open the iron door now and catch the murderer.

Martin paced around George Brown's bedroom, and finally walked to the bed, crouched down and touched the patterned carpet on the floor, then looked under the bed. In fact, under the bed, Han Daring thought of it just now, so he saw it in advance. He was about to give a warning, but Martin waved his hand and motioned for Han Daring to stop talking.

If Han Da'er didn't think that George Brown had something to do with Xinghe Trade and the Sanyang Sect, he wouldn't have bothered to care about it! So I didn't say anything more, but wanted to see what the Englishman could find!

Martin tidied up his clothes at this point, then lay directly on the carpet next to the bed, then twisted himself on his back and drilled under the bed. He had been under the bed for a long time, Han Da'er, Zhao Jingsheng, Bai Chongwei and others thought he was asleep, at this time Martin suddenly reached out and grabbed the bed, and then crawled out from under the bed, holding a dusty cowhide bag wrapped around a leather rope in his hand.

Martin dusted off his body and said:

"I found some scorch marks on the wood of the bed, which should have been roasted by candles, so I guess he was holding a small candlestick and went under the bed to hide something under the bed frame!"

Little Jew said:

"It's such a coincidence, as soon as you come, you will find the key, who knows what is in it......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Martin untied the leather rope and opened the thing wrapped in cowhide, which was indeed a key!

Lao Cai recognized this key, which was the key to the iron door in the basement, exactly the same as the one used by George Brown before!

Han Daring thought that he had indeed seen that the bed had been burned by fire just now, and the British liked to use candles and candlesticks, although the Red Fort also installed a lot of electric lights, but they still had the habit of using candles, and they were negligent about this. But he did reach out and grope under the bed just now, but he didn't touch the leather bag, but he didn't expect George Brown to get under the bed and hide the key in a place that he couldn't touch next to the bed.

At this time, not only Han Dada'er, but even the little Jews suddenly had some admiration for this arrogant Englishman Martin.

Martin led more than a dozen policemen to the iron door of the basement, followed by Han Daring, Bai Chongwei, Zhao Jingsheng and Lao Cai.

Chen Jiu reached out and moved the things open the top door, and Martin personally inserted the key into the lock hole of the iron door. I only heard the sound of "Kalala" turning the key, and then with a "bang", the heavy iron door opened.

It was pitch black inside the iron door, and Martin fumbled around the door for a long time before he found a light rope. At that time, many light switches were rope-pulled.

As soon as Martin pulled the lamp rope, the light bulb in the room immediately lit up. A silver figure appeared in front of everyone, the figure was holding a long sword, the long sword was mottled with blood, the whole body was covered in silver armor and iron armor, and it was wearing a velvet burqa, but the shoulders were empty and there was no head.

It's the vanished knight's armor that was placed in the corridor on the second floor!
