Zhang Hailong said: "At that time, there was still a gatekeeper in this villa. According to him, that night, when he came back from watching a play at Market Market, he saw the foreigner's room was on fire—" "Fire?" I interrupted. "Then he was burned to death?" Zhang Hailong said: "No, fire... Kao Kao said, the fire... is not red, but purple, like it was sprayed from some monster in mythology, he screamed at that time, and rushed upwards Going up, he slammed the door hard, but there was no response, he thought the foreigner had passed out from the smoke..."

I hurriedly said again: "Wait, besides the foreigner, is there only the gatekeeper in the villa?" Zhang Hailong said: "No, the little girl originally lived in the villa in order to take care of the two Indian dwarfs, but because of the presence of the foreigner, she moved into the urban area." I nodded and said, "Of course it was Kao who broke in?" Zhang Hailong said: "That's right, the foreigner was already dead when Kao slammed into the door. The strange thing is that not only was the room not burned, but there was no trace of the fire. The cause of the foreigner's death is only known to be a kind of acid." highly poisonous."

When Zhang Hailong said this, my heart suddenly moved, and I thought of those two Indian dwarves. The two Indian dwarfs were either from South America or from Central America.I have not been able to find out which tribe they are, but the reason why I immediately remembered them is because among these unknown tribes of natives, there are often people who are unknown to the civilized world and very poisonous. Because of the strange poison. I hated: "Where were these two Indian dwarves that night?" Zhang Hailong said: "Nature is in that laboratory." I asked, "How can you guarantee it?" Zhang Hailong said: "I can guarantee that this laboratory, except for the road I took you to , there is only another channel, and the control mechanism of that channel is in my study. If the Indian dwarves want to come out for activities, they must press the signal to let them out. During the stay of foreigners, I cut off Without the communication line with the Indian gnomes, of course they can't come out!"

I thought about it, and felt that what Zhang Hailong said was very reasonable. Since he said it so definitely, it was naturally not the hands of these two natives. Zhang Hailong continued: "The gatekeeper called the police, and I also rushed here from the urban area. When I arrived, not only senior personnel from a certain country's consulate were present, but even one of the top police officers had arrived. They sent the deceased They told me about his identity, and at the same time asked me to cooperate and strictly keep the secrets. They seemed to know that Xiaolong had disappeared, and they asked me about Xiaolong's whereabouts in many ways, but I was perfunctory!"

I had to express my surprise again, and said: "Mr. Zhang, it has been two years since your son disappeared. Why don't you take this opportunity to tell the story?" Zhang Hailong sighed, and said: "You are too young to understand the feelings of the elderly. I only have one son, Xiaolong. He disappeared suddenly. Although I firmly believe that he will not do anything disgraceful, but he also It's hard to be safe, I can't entrust the matter of Xiaolong to someone who might make it public." I nodded, indicating that I understood Zhang Hailong's intentions.

Zhang Hailong said again: "After this incident, the gatekeeper is determined not to do it anymore. He is an old servant of my family. He wants to resign, and I have no choice. According to him, he died the night before. , I have already seen ghosts in the garden!" I said, "So, where is this person now?" Zhang Hailong said: "It's a pity. Half a month after he quit his job, he fell into a mountain pit due to drunkenness. When he was found, he had already passed away." When I heard what Zhang Hailong said, I couldn't help jumping up! Because of this disappearance case, it went from ordinary to extraordinary, from extraordinary to extremely mysterious.

So far, at least two people have lost their lives because of this, and Zhang Xiaolong's life and death are still unknown. The reason why I linked the secret agent with a mysterious identity and the death of the gatekeeper with Zhang Xiaolong’s disappearance is because I firmly believe that this futile senior agent came here entirely for Zhang Xiaolong’s sake. Zhang Hailong was willing to cooperate at the time, and the disappearance of his son may have been revealed by now. I thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhang, originally I just wanted to take a look at that room, but now, I want to stay in this room for one night. You should go back to the city first!"

Zhang Hailong said decisively: "No!" I smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, didn't you entrust the matter to me?" Zhang Hailong said: "Because of this, I can't let you take risks. This room is full of mysterious and gloomy atmosphere. Half a year ago, I opened it to take a look, and I couldn't help but shudder!" When he said that sentence, the expression on his face was still very terrifying. I immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, if I am even afraid of this, can I still accept your commission?" Zhang Hailong paced back and forth a few steps, said: "Mr. Wei, you must be careful!" I smiled and said: "Don't worry, demon fire and poison will not frighten me. If I meet them, it will be easier to get rid of them." Know the truth."

Among a bunch of keys, he handed me one and said, "The third room from the left on the second floor is here." I said: "By the way, did you build this villa yourself?" Zhang Hailong said: "No, its previous owner was a mining business, and now it's bankrupt." My question is very important, because the villa was not built by Zhang Hailong himself, so naturally there may be some secret passages and other buildings in the villa that he doesn't know about. Zhang Hailong walked out, I sent him to the door, he got into the car, and said: "You may be wondering, why didn't I buy that vase back?" I nodded.

Zhang Hailong said: "I want to know if Xiaolong still has friends here. Because I found out that this vase was taken out by Xiaolong, and he can redeem it with a huge sum of money at any time. If someone goes to redeem it, then I will Based on this clue, we can find Xiaolong's whereabouts." I smiled and said, "In the end, because of that vase, we changed from strangers to acquaintances." Zhang Hailong said: "God's will, this may be God's will!" I waved to him, and the driver couldn't wait any longer, and immediately drove the precious "Rouss" like an arrow, shooting forward, and the light of the headlights became farther and farther away.

I just turned around. Not only was I the only one left in that big villa, but also, within a few miles around, there would probably be no one else except those two extremely weird dwarves! I'm naturally not afraid to watch someone alone. However, when my mind was full of mysterious and inconceivable questions, I always had a strange feeling in my heart. When I turned around and returned to the hall, it seemed that the lights in the hall had also dimmed a lot. It made people feel a chill. And in all directions, there are so many strange and strange voices that require people to guess the source. These sounds, after knowing the source, will make people laugh, but they are just the explosion of wooden boards, the footsteps of mice, the sound of doors, etc., passing over. Involuntarily, I coughed loudly twice.After coughing twice, I couldn't help laughing, thinking to myself: When did I become so timid? However, when I walked back and forth a few steps in the hall, I coughed again. At the same time, I couldn't help admiring Zhang Xiaojuan's courage. Because when Zhang Hailong and I arrived, Zhang Xiaojuan was here alone.Originally, I hated Zhang Xiaojuan very much in my heart, but when I thought about the fact that she at least has extraordinary courage, my impression of her improved a lot. I threw the key Zhang Hailong gave me up and down, and walked up the stairs. Soon, I reached the second floor, and turned on the lights in the corridor.It was so quiet all around that even though the corridor was covered with soft carpet, I could still hear my own footsteps, and it seemed to be blown from behind by gusts of wind. When I came to the door of a room, I looked back a total of three times to see if anyone was following me, but of course no one was following me. Under my shoulders, with the stack of documents taken from the laboratory, I believe that the fate that befell that senior spy a year ago may also befall me.Therefore, I had to be very careful in dealing with this strange environment. I have experienced many thrilling things in my life, but none of them, like this time, a thick atmosphere of mystery, like layers of thick fog, surrounds the truth of the facts, making it difficult for you to understand what happened one thing! There is no telephone in this villa, and I have no way to communicate with the outside world. And when Zhang Hailong left just now, it was inconvenient for me to ask him to bring a message, because he was so unwilling to let anyone know about it. I stood at the door for a minute, listening carefully to the movement inside the door. The door was so quiet that there was no sound at all, so when I inserted the key into the lock, there was an unexpectedly loud noise: After the "slap", I stretched out my hand and pushed it, and immediately jumped back. With a "Yah", the door was pushed open. With the light in the corridor, I looked into the room intently. As expected, there was no one in the room, so I stepped into the room, found the light switch, and turned on the light. The furnishing of the room was very simple, and it was designed for a single man.The most eye-catching thing is a very large bookshelf, and the books on the shelf are very messy. There was a thick layer of dust on all the furniture. I lifted the bed cover and slapped it around. After a while, the dust was all cleaned up. I sat down on the chair and carefully thought about today's experience.And set a step for what to do tonight. Tonight, I'm certainly not going to sleep, but I'm not going to study the files in that folder either.Because those documents, although extremely important, are beyond the scope of my knowledge, and they are things that I have no way to understand. I stuffed the folder under the pillow, and I decided to spend most of the night carefully searching every corner of the room. I first tapped the wall with my fingers until I was sure that there was no secret passage in the room, then I began to unravel the quilt, tear the pillow, open the closet, and looked at every piece of clothing for a long time, and even took it apart. In the folder of the clothes. Then, I opened each drawer and tapped on the thicker wooden boards to see if there was an interlayer. After finishing all this, and it took me about three hours, I looked at my watch, and it was already two o'clock in the morning. Before I knew it, I spent the old year. Everything in the house has been turned upside down by me. I finally started to check the bookshelf. I took off the books one by one and shook them to see if there were any papers in the books. For uplifting. Because what I got in my hand was not a book, but a diary with a lock. Needless to say, the owner of the diary must be Zhang Xiaolong! I was overjoyed when I thought that in this diary I might discover all the secrets.But immediately, I discovered that the simple lock on the diary had already been destroyed by someone. I opened the diary, and found that more than half of the diary had been torn off by someone, and what was left was blank.Still not discouraged, I patiently flipped through the pages one by one. On the last few pages, I found many traces, which were written and printed on the previous page. I tried to make out words among the traces, but I failed.Because Zhang Xiaolong (assuming this diary is Zhang Xiaolong’s) used English to keep his diary, and the writing was very scribbled, I read it for a long time, but only recognized two characters. Because those two characters were written in a particularly large and heavy weight, the traces left behind are easier to recognize. Those two characters, translated into Chinese, are the two characters "demon fire". What does "demon fire" mean?These two words can't even give me any concept! But since I can only recognize those two characters, I can only use my brain on those two characters. I closed the diary and turned my head to think carefully. I turned my head and looked out of the window naturally. It was dark outside the window, however, in an instant, I understood the meaning of the word "demon fire", because I saw "demon fire"!
