Volume 7 Chapter 17 Killing
After Wei Xiu said that, he returned to the second floor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Su Zhuo didn't follow anymore, he suddenly remembered the box of silver he saw last night, could it be the crux of the problem?
Thinking of this, Su Zhuo couldn't sit still and wanted to ask Lou Wan about it. However, the strange thing is that such a big thing happened in the gambling house and made such a fuss, Lou Wan never showed up, and I don't know where to go.
Su Zhuo walked around the lobby, but he didn't see Lou Wan. He had to ask a subordinate standing at the door: "Where is your boss?"
The man touched his head and said, "I haven't seen ...... this morning."
Su Zhuo was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Take me to Boss Lou's room!"
The man hesitated, then turned and headed out for the backyard. Lou Wan has a special room in the casino, and if you stay in the casino, you will stay in that room.
Su Zhuo followed him upstairs and came to the door of a large room. The man knocked lightly on the door and said, "Boss, boss, Mr. Su wants to see you!"
After knocking for a long time, no one answered. Su Zhuo pushed the door, but the door was closed and did not move. He muttered: "The door is locked from the inside, is it ......" Thinking of this, ominous meaning enveloped his heart.
He didn't think too much about it, and slammed the door open. I saw Lou Wan sitting in front of the desk, but his eyes were wide open, his face was bruised, and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose.
The situation was so strange that the little guy collapsed to the ground in fright and screamed loudly. Su Zhuo stepped forward to probe Lou Wan and snorted, but shook his head helplessly. Lou Wan has been dead for a long time, and his body has cooled down.
On the desk in front of Lou Wan, there was a jug of wine and an empty wine glass. The candles on the candlestick have burned out, and a pile of wax oil is dripping on the table.
Su Zhuo looked at Lou Wan's death, picked up the pot of wine and smelled it, the wine was good wine, but there was a peculiar smell in the empty wine glass. Some white powder was sprinkled next to the wine glass, Su Zhuo stuck it with his fingers, leaned into his nostrils and sniffed, and muttered, "It's poison......"
The screams of the little guy attracted the rest of the courtyard. It didn't take long for everyone to know about it and rush over. As soon as the heroes forgot about yesterday's tragedy, they found that Lou Wan was also dead, and they couldn't help but be taken aback.
The scene is very obvious, Lou Wan committed suicide by drinking poison. But what made Su Zhuo puzzle was, why did Lou Wan commit suicide? Yesterday he did not show any signs of suicide, and he did not leave any last words on his desk.
Others exchanged heads and ears, and everyone had different opinions, but most of them were also very puzzled. Lou Wan, as the owner of Wanli Gambling House, not only has a lot of money, but also has a lot of power in the rivers and lakes, how could he suddenly leave all this behind and commit suicide?
Su Zhuo still knows one thing better than others, that is, Lou Wan also arranged for someone to seal the silver taels in that courtyard last night, obviously to do something big. Since he still has something to do, how could he suddenly commit suicide?
A sigh suddenly came from behind him, and Su Zhuo looked back. It turned out that Wei Xiu was here, and she looked at Lou Wan's corpse with a gloomy face. Seeing Wei Xiu, for some reason, Su Zhuo seemed to be able to feel the sadness in her heart.
Maybe Lou Wan is familiar with her, and everyone will be uncomfortable with such a tragic death. Wei Xiu asked, "Master Su, did Uncle Lou commit suicide?"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Judging from this situation, it seems that only suicide can explain it." ”
Someone in the group immediately retorted: "Boss Lou is so dignified, why did he commit suicide?"
This person said the doubts in Su Zhuo's heart, which made Su Zhuo also stammer, unable to answer. He looked at Lou Wan's face and suddenly found that there were also two tear stains on his face. Su Zhuo was a little strange, thinking of the tears on Ouyang Ji's face, what is the connection between the two?
He sighed, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pen resting on the inkstone of the desk, and the wolf was stained with ink, which had solidified. The pen was obviously put down by Lou Wan after he finished writing, but there was no book or letterhead on the table, not even a piece of paper.
He raised Lou Wan's hand, and sure enough, he found some ink on the tip of his hand. This shows that Lou Wan did write something before he died, but no matter what was written, there was no trace on the bookcase or even in the entire room.
This is a new suspicion, Su Zhuo frowned, what did Lou Wan write? What did he want to tell us? He casually rummaged through the desk and shelves, only saw a few irrelevant books, and found nothing useful.
And the strangest thing is that there is not a single letter and not a single account book in the room. This is really unthinkable for Lou Wan. Su Zhuoyue was suspicious, such a big loophole made him suspect that Lou Wan did not commit suicide at all, but was killed by others. However, it is difficult to explain the situation at the scene, how the murderer poisoned him to death, and then left the palm room.
Suddenly, someone whispered: "You say, will Lou Wan also be killed by Liu Fei's ghost?"
Others hadn't connected yesterday's events before, but when they heard him say this, they suddenly felt a chill down their spine, and the wind gusted, as if there was really a powerful ghost standing behind them. Yesterday, the mystery of the secret room was still in my mind, and Lou Wan died in the locked room for no reason, which seems to be only explained by the murder of ghosts.
Wei Xiu said loudly: "Don't be suspicious, I have received a message from the flying pigeon this morning, the ship of the Wei Mansion will arrive soon, and everyone will be able to leave here then!"
But this sentence did not dispel everyone's doubts, Du Qingfeng stood up and asked, "Miss Wei, it's not that we can't trust you." It's just that three people have died now, and they still don't have a clue, and everyone is in danger! If we don't leave here quickly, will we all be killed by Liu Fei's ghost?"
Suddenly, a yin and yang weird voice said: "Master Du, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." You seem to have spoken coldly to Liu Fei that day, no wonder you were so scared that cold sweat came out!"
Du Qingfeng turned around to find out who was ridiculing, but after looking around, it was in vain, so he had to scold loudly: "Which little rabbit cub is talking nonsense behind his back? Everyone in the station, who was there that night, who stood up to speak for Liu Fei? If it was really Liu Fei's revenge, I don't think everyone would be able to escape!"
When he said this, the crowd fell silent. At the dinner that day, Liu Fei was alone, and the humiliation of Ouyang Ji was vivid. A chill rose in everyone's hearts, and they were uneasy.
Su Zhuo suddenly said: "This matter is not a revenge at all, but man-made! Master Du, please gather everyone in the lobby and wait, no one is missing, the murderer is among us!"
Many people gasped, everyone was already unthinkable, and finally Su Zhuo stood up and said a word, which calmed everyone's hearts. Du Qingfeng hurriedly beckoned everyone to act according to orders, and all gathered in the lobby of the gambling house.
Su Zhuo was the only one left in the room, and there were still many questions that were difficult to explain, but it seemed that time was too late for him to think about it. Suddenly, there was a trumpet in the distance, and it sounded three times in a row.
Someone in the courtyard shouted: "The ship of the Wei Mansion is coming! Everyone is saved!"
Su Zhuo's heart sank, and he said secretly: "It's too late!"
