black lizard 江户川乱步 2388Words 2018-03-15
The man dressed as a crew member had been on the steamboat and was Black Lizard's subordinate.He went directly to the room of the black lizard in the depths of the underground tunnel, and knocked on the door with a secret rhythm. "Please come in." Due to the authority of the leader, even in the crowd of rude men, the female thief would not do such meaningless things as locking the door.No matter in the middle of the night or at any time, as long as she says "please come in", the door can be opened at any time. "Oh, it's early in the morning, why? Isn't it only six o'clock?"

The black lizard lay flat on the white sheet without hesitation, wearing a white silk pajamas.She glanced at the man entering the room, lit a cigarette, and could see his plump body through the silky white silk.Every time I saw the eldest sister dressed like this, many male subordinates were at a loss for what to do. "Some strange things happened, so I hurried to report." The man tried not to squint, but he was still coy when he reported. "Strange thing? How to say?" "A Song, the cook on the boat, has been missing since last night. We searched the whole boat, but we couldn't find anyone. He couldn't have escaped, and we were worried that he would fall into the hands of the police."

"Oh, did you let Asong land?" "No, no. Didn't Ah Run get on the boat last night and came back again? At that time, Ah Song followed in the small boat and paddled. Unexpectedly, when the small boat returned to the big boat, only Ah Song disappeared. I suspect everyone I made a mistake in my memory, so I searched the whole ship, and inquired here again, and said that there was no Asong at all. Could that guy wander around the nearby streets and be arrested by the police?" "Troublesome. Ah Song is stupid and useless. He was forced to be a cook at the beginning. If that fool is caught, he will probably say everything he should say and what he shouldn't say."

Black Lizard couldn't help getting up from the bed, frowning and thinking about how to deal with it.At this time, another subordinate came to report another inexplicable news. The door was suddenly pushed open, and three subordinates poked their heads in, and one of them quickly reported the news: "Ma'am, please take a look. Something strange has happened. The dolls are all covered with clothes and jewels, and they are shining all over. We asked the others who did it, everyone. They all said they didn’t know. Is it your masterpiece, madam?” "Really?" "Of course. Ah Run was also stunned, and is still standing in front of the window."

So many unexpected changes happened in one night?It is not yet known what is the connection between Ah Song's disappearance and this incident, but how can such a coincidence happen at the same time?The queen of the underground kingdom can no longer be calm.She let everyone leave, quickly changed into her usual black dress, and hurried to the puppet showroom. When I went to see it, the scene was really weird and ridiculous.The standing black man wore tattered khaki suits, and the "Star of Egypt" on his chest shone like a first-class medal.The blond girl with her chin resting on her cheeks put on a long-sleeved Japanese kimono, with diamond necklaces and pearl jewelry wrapped around her wrists and ankles like handcuffs and ankles.On the other hand, the Japanese girl lying on the ground was wrapped in an old blanket, with all kinds of jeweled necklaces hanging from her thick black hair, and she smiled maliciously.As for the Japanese youths throwing discs, they were wearing black and dirty cotton sweaters and glittering jewelry on their wrists.

The woman in black and the frozen Yu Gong looked at each other, too shocked to speak. This prank is simply deceptive.Among the strange costumes of the puppet, the long-sleeved kimono was worn by Sanae last night, and the rest were the clothes of Black Lizard's many male subordinates.It can be seen that someone stole clothes from the bedroom cabinet or box and put them on the doll.Also, the jewelry must have been taken from the gem room, and those glass cases are now almost empty. "Who did it?" "I don't have any clues yet. Except for me, there are only five people at the scene. Those guys are all right and completely trustworthy. I have questioned them one by one, but I haven't found any clues."

"Is there any problem with the night guard at the gate?" "Well, the door is no different than usual. What's more, even if an uninvited guest wants to barge in, the door can only be opened from the inside. It is impossible for a guy with a ulterior motive to come in from the outside." After talking in low voices for a while, the two looked at each other silently again.Soon, the woman in black suddenly realized, and whispered to herself, "Ah, maybe that's the case", the next moment her face changed drastically, and she hurried to the front of the iron cage.The narrow entrance and exit of the cage were checked, but there was no sign that the lock had been forcibly picked open.

"Is it your ghost idea? To be honest, you are the one who played the prank, right?" The woman in black kept asking sharply.Adam and Eve in the iron cage were talking warmly to themselves, when the female thief suddenly appeared, they immediately heightened their vigilance reflexively.Sanae immediately hid in the corner and curled up into a ball, while the young man stood up suddenly and approached the woman in black with his fists waving. "Why didn't you answer? You were the one who helped the doll put on clothes, right?" "What are you talking about? Am I locked in a cage? Are you crazy?" the young man roared.

"Hehe, I still want to show off my prestige. It's fine, I have my own way. I mean, do you like the bride?" The woman in black suddenly changed the subject.Seeing the young man was silent, she asked again: "Do you like it or not?" The young man and Sanae in the corner looked at each other. "Well, I like her. So I will definitely protect her with my life, and never let you touch a single hair of her." The young man kept screaming. "Hehe, I guessed it would be like this. Then you must work hard to protect her." The woman in black sneered, and turned around to explain to Yugong who was standing behind her.

"Arun, drag that girl out and throw it into the sink." She ordered sternly, then took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Arun. "Is it too fast? It's only been one night." Yu Gong's eyes were wide and round in that fake beard. "It's okay, my freewheeling temper is not unique to today. You do as I say... Listen, I'm eating in my room, and everything during this time is at your disposal. Also, send someone to take back those jewels In the showcase, please." After giving the order, the woman in black left without looking back. Obviously, she was furious.The sudden strange changes in the doll made her extremely unhappy, and the stimulation of the intimate conversation between the man and woman in the cage made her lose control of her emotions.

The female thief definitely doesn't really want Sanae to marry the young man, but just wants to intimidate and humiliate her, and enjoy her frightened and sad appearance for fun.Unexpectedly, her wishful thinking came to nothing, the young man stood up to protect Sanae, and Sanae was also willing to accept the protection, looking at him gratefully.No wonder the woman in black felt a strong unhappiness similar to jealousy. Runyi took on a tricky job, he was a little hesitant, and approached the cage slowly. "You bastard, what do you want to do to her!" The young man in the iron cage stared wide-eyed, with a frightening expression on his face. He stood at the mouth of the cage with his legs apart, with a desperate attitude.However, Amamiya is worthy of being a boxer, and he is not timid at all.After unlocking the lock with the key, he quickly opened the door and jumped into the cage. The bearded Amemiya and the naked young man in workman's uniform grabbed each other's arms and stared at each other viciously. "Stop, you don't want to succeed. As long as I live, you are not allowed to touch a single hair of her. You want to drag her out? You try, before that, be careful to be strangled to death by me!" The young man desperately wanted to pinch Junichi Amamiya's neck with both hands.However, the strange thing is that Yugong didn't want to resist at all, his arm was grabbed, his neck was stretched forward, his mouth was close to the young man's ear, and he muttered a few words quietly. At first the young man shook his head violently, unwilling to listen carefully.After a while, indescribable astonishment appeared on his face, and then he was as docile as a different person, and the hands that were pinching the opponent's neck also dropped powerlessly.
