Heritage in the Castle (19)
The housekeeper thought for a moment: "I don't know either. I only remember that I retreated after delivering the pastries to Lord Luo, and I was dizzy and weak when I stood in front of the gate, and when I was conscious, I saw you, young master. I'm sorry, young master, but this is my dereliction of duty. ”
Shen Yu retracted his gaze, but Si Cheng frowned and guessed: "Could it be that someone followed the housekeeper upstairs, and after the housekeeper finished delivering the pastries to Luo Yan, he would first stun the housekeeper, and then go into the house to kill Luo Yan." ”
"That's not right." Shen Yu replied quietly, "If the other party really just killed Luo Yan, then he/she can wait for the housekeeper to leave on his own, why do you need to stun the housekeeper in one move?" And except for Luo Yan himself, all of us are concentrated in the hall, and there is no time to act at all. ”
Si Cheng was a little speechless.
Xia Lingge lifted the hem of her skirt and bypassed a pool of blood on the ground, half-squatted down to carefully examine Luo Yan's face, the stiff facial muscles were blue and white after death, and the lips were light red, but if you looked closely, you would find that the lips and teeth were a little purple, and the blood flowing out of the cavity was not normal crimson, but a little invisible black inside the red.
"It's poisoning."
Xia Lingge straightened up and said to them, "Luo Yan should have died of poisoning." ”
At the mention of 'poison', Si Cheng and Shen Yu's eyes all looked at Bai Weiwei in unison. Bai Weiwei's eyes widened, she shook her head desperately, and there was a heart-rending cry in her voice: "It can't be me!" I can't wait to abandon myself for Brother Luo Yan, how can I kill him?! ”
Xia Lingge asked, "Then where did the poison you gave us come from?" ”
Bai Weiwei stared at her for a moment, she pursed her thin lips and stopped talking, but her eyes glanced at Luo Yan inadvertently.
"Luo Yan gave it to you?" Shen Yu sneered, "I was poisoned after an attempt, but I was poisoned, what is this called...... The Present World? Scold. ”
Bai Weiwei pursed her lips even tighter.
"Alas......"
The butler looked at the tall man lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but sigh: "The eldest lady has just stepped into the arms of the main god, and now it is the turn of Lord Luochang, perhaps, this is God's instruction for their husband and wife to reunite in heaven." Merciful God, bless us. ”
The pious prayer made Shen Yu pluck out his ears impatiently, he glanced at the messy scene, and said to Xia Lingge: "I'll leave it to you here, I have to go back to rest." ”
Xia Lingge looked at Luo Yan, who was so stiff that he couldn't be stiff anymore, turned his head to the housekeeper and said, "Let's talk to Liu first...... The eldest lady settled together, and they were a serious couple anyway. ”
When she said this, her eyes glanced at Bai Weiwei 'inadvertently'. Bai Weiwei's body trembled and lowered her head.
"Yes, Miss Lingge."
The butler placed his right palm on his left shoulder and bowed slightly to her. Pulling out the bell on his waist and shaking it, two servants with shelves immediately appeared at the corner of the corridor, they hung their heads, and walked without making a sound, until they were close to Bai Weiwei and found the two people coming over, and they were instantly startled.
"Miss Vivi."
The butler approached her, and the meek and polite smile on his face was slightly distorted with the twisting of the candlelight: "Please give me the body." ”
……
The gloomy basement was open, and the cold and damp air instantly rushed into his face, the butler frowned, his eyes roughly swept around the dark and deep basement, beckoned, and the two people who followed behind threw the corpse on the shelf into it.
The corpse smashed to the ground and splashed a huge amount of dust, and the butler no longer looked at it, and commanded the door to close the basement.
Darkness and dead silence covered the entire basement, and I don't know how long it took for the abandoned dead body to slowly tremble its fingers.
……
I said...... Can you two go? ”
The intricate decoration adds a touch of retro color to the whole room, bright oil paintings, old but new gramophones, rows of bright shells of countless Chinese and foreign masterpieces, and many gun models are neatly arranged on the counters.
Xia Lingge casually picked up a pistol and pressed it.
"It's useless."
Shen Yu said: "These models are simple versions, and even if they are turned into real objects, they will not be usable due to the lack of internal parts, not to mention that you don't have the skills to 'transform the real with virtuality'." ”
"So you found a toy gun." Xia Lingge replied.
Shen Yu lightly changed the subject: "What are you two here for?" He glanced at Si Cheng, who was blocking the door very seriously, "You are full of energy and didn't drag me, and you don't let people sleep at night?" ”
Xia Lingge turned his head to him: "Don't you want to find property?" ”
Shen Yu sat on the small sofa and pillowed his arms: "What's the hurry, two of the six-person players have already died, and maybe a few more will die if you wait." He suddenly looked at Xia Lingge as if he remembered something, "You're in such a hurry to find property, ...... Isn't it scary? ”
Xia Lingge didn't pay attention to his ridicule and ridicule at all, and just said lightly: "I just feel that things are a little wrong, and we need to talk about cooperation." ”
"Cooperation."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows interestingly: "Then young master, I have to think about it." You want to cooperate with me, sincerity? ”
Xia Lingge clasped his elbows in his hands, looked at him indifferently, Shen Yu smiled with a cynical look, but when Xia Lingge beckoned to Si Cheng, the smile on his face instantly became a little stiff: "You guys...... What are you going to do? ”
Xia Lingge and Si Cheng glanced at each other, took out the rope sleeves that had been prepared long ago, and then stretched them, Shen Yu's smile gradually disappeared a little, and he looked at the bodies of the two people who were approaching and involuntarily retreated towards the sofa:
"Huh...... No...... Now is a society governed by the rule of law, you can't rob the people's men, this is immoral...... Oh!! ”
The door was opened.
Si Cheng followed Xia Lingge and asked, "Senior sister, where are we going to find it now?" ”
"Underground Altar." Xia Lingge replied.
Si Cheng thought for a while: "The entire castle has been searched, and the most mysterious thing now is indeed the underground altar, but there is a ghost bride in the altar, will it be dangerous for us to venture over." ”
Xia Lingge pulled the rope in his hand: "Isn't this specifically looking for a helper?" ”
Shen Yu, who had his hands tied, listened to their conversation twitching: "I said, do you have to say bad things in front of the parties?" ”
Xia Lingge turned his head: "No, we praise you for being liked by girls." ”
Shen Yu's eyebrows twitched even more: "You believe me?" ”
Xia Lingge blinked: "Oh." ”
Shen Yu: "??? ”
Oh???
They soon came to the study again, opened the dark room according to the previous steps, Si Cheng picked up the candle stand on the table, and walked down first.
The dark spiral staircase slowly spread underground, and as they stood on the ground, the cold wind of the gloomy owl came again.
