Seeing the light not far ahead, a smile appeared on Zhou Yuanyi's face.It’s true that there is no unparalleled road, and there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.It would be nice if there was a telephone in that house, just ask the owner of the house what this place is, call the police officers, and colleagues will rush here to rescue them in a short time. In the night, the dirt road under their feet could not be seen clearly, so a group of people could only hold hands, take one step at a time, and slowly walked towards the house with lights on.Zhou Yuanyi walked in the front to open the way, followed closely behind with the chalk hanging on the tent, and Uncle Bao walked behind with the support of the potbellied crazy girl.The mountain wind became more and more bitter, making everyone shiver.

The house was only 200 meters away from where Zhou Yuanyi and the others were, but because there were no streetlights in the countryside, it was very difficult for the group of people to walk, and Chalk almost fell down several times. Fortunately, when they walked halfway , Suddenly saw a little light at the end of the dirt road, it was a lantern. It should be that the owner of the house knew that someone was visiting, so he came out with a lantern to greet him. What a kind person. Under such circumstances, Zhou Yuanyi asked everyone to stand where they were, and wait for the master to come over with a lantern.After all, there are old and young here, there are heart patients, pregnant women, and one-legged female artists who are not easy to walk, and they may fall at any time without hiding their feet, so safety is the most important thing.

A few minutes later, a man appeared in front of Zhou Yuanyi and the others holding a lantern. The man was wearing a black cotton overcoat, and because of the limited lighting range of the lantern, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see a big peony painted on the outer wall of the lantern paper. "Wow! Peony Lantern!" Standing behind Zhou Yuanyi, Lin Yun'er exclaimed. Peony lantern?Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help thinking of the famous story in Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio.However, in the ghost story, the person carrying the peony lantern is a beautiful female ghost who is the lover of the night party, but now the person carrying the lantern is a man.

"Welcome everyone here, do you need help?" The man carrying the lantern said politely, and at the same time he raised the lantern in his hand so that his face appeared in front of everyone. This is a middle-aged man with a fair complexion. He is about forty years old. His hair is combed meticulously. Even though the night is windy, it is still not messy. It should be that he had waxed his hair when he went out late at night.His lower abdomen bulges slightly, and he looks pampered at first glance. "Thank you, do you have a phone at your house? Our car broke down a bit and I want to borrow the phone." Zhou Yuanyi deliberately kept what happened in the car hidden. Now as long as he can call the police everywhere, everything will be fine.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry, I really don't have a telephone in this small building. The gain outweighs the loss. And the mobile phone signal here is extremely weak, and sometimes it doesn't work. However, in the daytime, it's fine, walk two miles west, there is a car repair shop closest to here. Tonight, you can stay at my In the small building, it’s too cold outside, beware of catching a cold.” "Uh, thank you so much, what is your name, sir?" Zhou Yuanyi asked politely. "My surname is Zhao, Zhao Lianpu."

"Wow! Are you Zhao Lianpu? Are you the famous writer who wrote the best-selling book?" It was the one-legged female artist Chabi who spoke suddenly. A smile appeared on Zhao Lianpu's face: "It's really unexpected that someone knows me, a half-red but not black codewriter, ashamed and ashamed!" He raised his eyes to look at the chalk. With a surprised look, he just smiled kindly. Coincidentally, Zhou Yuanyi had heard of Zhao Lianpu's name before, and knew that he was a suspense writer who was good at writing and famous for his bizarre plots.Zhou Yuanyi had seen Zhao Lianpu's works before, and he was quite impressed.It is really unexpected to meet the author himself in the middle of the night in the wilderness.Zhao Lianpu turned around and guided Zhou Yuanyi and the others with a lantern, walking slowly towards the brightly lit small building.

A few minutes later, everyone came to the small building. At this time, Zhou Yuanyi realized that the shape of this small building was very strange. It was actually a three-story house built against the mountain wall, and the cross section of the small building was semicircular. It should have been renovated not long ago. The bricks are brand new.However, the upstairs windows seemed to be cramped, and steel security nets were fitted over each window. "Hehe, this is my secret base for retreat and writing." Zhao Lianpu said with a smile on his face. Lin Yun'er exclaimed again: "Ah, it's a villa!"

Tie Nan's eyes widened, as if Grandma Liu had walked into the Grand View Garden, looking at the brand-new villa without daring to make a sound. It was the little boy Wanzi who asked curiously, "Mr. Zhao, why is your villa semicircular?" Zhao Lianpu smiled and said: "In this deep mountain, most of them are limestone formed by karst landforms, and the foundation for building a house is very unstable. When building a villa, the architect surveyed the site and found that there is only one piece of rock deep underground. Semicircular granite is suitable for laying foundations, so the villa was built into a semicircular shape. This is really a last resort.”

"Is this villa your own?" Chalk asked. Yue Lianpu nodded and said, "Yes, it's mine." "Oh, it seems that writing books is really profitable. Even if I can really become a painter after receiving treatment, I probably won't be able to make money like Mr. Zhao." Chalk sighed sincerely. Only Zhou Yuanyi felt a little curious, can writing a book really earn money to buy a villa?He has a friend named Shen Qin who also wrote suspense and thriller novels. He said that he is still a little famous in the circle, but he is also suffocated by the mortgage. It seems that people compare with others, which is really annoying.

But after Zhao Lianpu heard Chabi's exclamation, he smiled and said: "Although this villa belongs to me, I didn't buy it with money. Hehe, it was a gift from a distant relative as an inheritance." Oh I got it. Zhao Lianpu opened the door on the first floor, and after everyone walked into the entrance, Zhou Yuanyi was surprised to find that the feeling of this villa was not good, and it always made people feel a little oppressed. Taking a closer look, Zhou Yuanyi found the crux of the matter. The floor height of the ground floor in the villa is quite cramped, only about 2.2 meters, plus there is a suspended ceiling. Standing indoors, one always feels that one can touch the ceiling with one's hand.

In the living room in the entrance, there was almost nothing, just a few simple pieces of furniture, and it was empty. Zhao Lianpu also saw Zhou Yuanyi's doubts, smiled helplessly, and said, "I don't know what my relative thought when he built the villa, but made the first floor so short. But the second and third floors It is tall but very spacious, more than four meters high, so I almost abandoned the first floor, and only used the second and third floors for activities, but anyway, I came here to retreat and write, not to enjoy, so It doesn't matter." Zhao Lianpu locked the gate and led everyone to the semi-circular villa near the center of the section.Judging from the terrain, this place should be close to the mountain wall, but probably because the wall is so thick, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't feel any moisture at all, but he smelled a strong smell of engine oil. Zhao Lianpu led the crowd to the center of the section of the villa, where there was a small door. After Zhao Lianpu opened the small door, a small and cramped room was revealed. An iron plate was pasted on one side of the wall, and there were several buttons on it. With 1, 2, 3 three numbers. Zhou Yuanyi immediately recognized that this small room turned out to be an elevator. The smell of engine oil I smelled just now is probably used for oiling the elevator upgrade shaft for maintenance. Zhao Lianpu said a little depressingly: "I don't know what my relative thought at the time. There was no staircase connecting each floor in the villa, and all the up and down depended on this elevator... probably from the perspective of anti-theft, but There are no stairs to keep robbers out, but if the elevator fails, it's terrible. There are no telephones here, and there is no one to call when something goes wrong." "Then what should we do if something happens?" Lin Yun'er asked curiously.As soon as she finished asking, she patted her mouth lightly and blamed herself, "I'm such a crow's mouth!" The way she patted her mouth looked very cute. Zhao Lianpu also laughed, and he replied: "There were two elevators in the villa. If one is broken, use the other one, and at the same time notify the elevator company to come to repair it. I don't think I will be so unlucky. It’s impossible for the elevators to break down at the same time.” Everyone couldn't help laughing. After answering the questions about the elevator, Zhao Lianpu greeted everyone to enter the elevator. He was very gentlemanly and let the ladies go first, especially the chalk of pregnant women, crazy women and one-legged ones. He also brought two seats and put them in the elevator. The elevator went up smoothly and slowly, and stopped on the second floor. After the automatic door opened, everyone didn't see an open space or a corridor, but instead saw a closed security door. Zhao Lianpu took out the key, opened the anti-theft door, and explained embarrassingly, "This is an anti-theft measure designed by my relative. Although it is a bit troublesome to go upstairs every time, it can effectively prevent thieves from intruding." After the anti-theft door was opened, a warm breath rushed in - the entire floor was air-conditioned. What appeared in front of everyone was a screen that was used as an entrance. Zhou Yuanyi noticed that the anti-theft door outside the elevator door was also custom-made, with keyholes and anti-locks on both sides, that is to say, if necessary, the door can be anti-locked no matter in the elevator or in the villa. Let the person on the other side open it. Oh, what a special design. Behind the screen is the real living room in the villa. In the living room, there is a long soft fabric sofa. Opposite the sofa is a 72-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall, and a set of expensive audio equipment is placed under the TV. "My place is too remote to install cable TV, so I installed a pot-type satellite TV receiver. Haha, I can watch a lot of foreign TV programs." Zhao Lianpu picked up from the coffee table in front of the fabric sofa while introducing remote control board. After the TV was turned on, a male anchor in a suit appeared on the screen, broadcasting the news. Judging from the station logo, this should be the news program being broadcast by the star Xichuan Satellite TV. Zhao Lianpu turned up the TV volume, and the male anchor's loud standard Mandarin immediately came out of the stereo. "Urgent notice. Two felons escaped from Xichuan City Prison this afternoon. The fugitives are a man and a woman, wearing black and white striped prison clothes. The general public is requested to actively provide clues and cooperate in the arrest." Two photos appeared on the screen, a man and a woman, both in their mid-twenties.The names of two fugitives appeared below, the male named Sun Hongwei and the female named Dong Jia. Zhou Yuanyi immediately remembered that in the street garden near Xichuan People's Hospital, before accompanying Lin Yun'er to pick up four patients into the ambulance, he had received a call from a colleague about the fugitive.When he was about to listen carefully, Zhao Lianpu changed the channel and said, "This world is really not peaceful, let's watch some relaxing programs." A new singer appeared on the screen, holding a microphone and singing an old song hoarsely. You asked me where I was going / I pointed to the direction of the sea / Your surprise is like a compliment to me. You take me into your flower room/I can't escape the scent of flowers/ I unconsciously forgot the direction. You say I am the strongest in the world/I say you are the kindest in the world/ Before you know it, you are like flowers. This is an old song called "Girl in the Flower House", which Zhou Yuanyi likes very much.It's a pity that this new singer's singing is not satisfactory, and he is completely unable to control the artistic conception in the lyrics. It was almost one o'clock in the morning, and everyone was in no mood to watch any TV programs. Probably because Zhao Lianpu has stayed up late writing for a long time, his biological clock has long adapted to going to bed late and waking up late, so he enjoys watching the concert on TV with relish.And because there were no other people nearby, he turned up the volume so loudly that the sound waves could be felt throughout the living room. It wasn't until the one-eyed boy couldn't help yawning that Uncle Bao, the leader of the homeless, said to Zhao Lianpu politely, "Mr. Zhao, can you arrange a bed for us?" "Ah, I'm so sorry. I'm used to going to bed late, but I forgot to arrange beds for you." Zhao Lianpu apologized repeatedly, and then explained that he was the only one living alone in this villa, and his own bedroom was on the second floor.The part-time cleaner and the chef who cook live two miles away from here, and they only come once every three days.The guest rooms here are on the third floor. There are seven rooms in total, which can accommodate all seven guests. Then Zhao Lianpu led the crowd into the elevator again and went up to the third floor. The elevator door on the third floor is also a security door. The corridor is equal to the elevator door, and the seven guest rooms are located on a semicircle, each of different sizes, because the pregnant woman needs to be taken care of, so Chalk offered to share the same room with the crazy girl, so the largest room opposite the door The guest room was assigned to the two of them. There was no corresponding key for each room. It could only be locked with a bolt from the inside and could not be locked from the outside. However, the seven guests who broke into the villa late at night did not bring any valuables. so it doesn't matter if it can be locked from the outside. At both ends of the corridor, there is a public toilet, one is used to go to the toilet, and the other is used as a washroom. After Zhao Lianpu arranged the guest room, he handed a key to Zhou Yuanyi and said, "This key can open the anti-theft doors on the second and third floors, so I'll leave it to you. I'm used to getting up late, and I won't be able to get up until noon tomorrow. There is also a kitchen on the second floor, and there are a lot of dishes in the refrigerator, you can do it yourself, sorry I can’t do it for you.” "No problem, no problem! Thank you so much." Zhou Yuanyi said gratefully. The room was very clean, with only a writing desk, a steel pipe bed with a bedside table, and a pot of evergreen foliage plants half a person's height beside the bed, nothing else.There is no separate bathroom, but there is a separate heating and cooling air conditioner.In the drawer of the desk, there are also disposable toothpaste, toothbrush and towel. The windows of the rooms are small and tightly closed.Zhou Yuanyi walked to the window, wanting to push open the glass window to let in some air, but unexpectedly, after pushing, it couldn't be opened at all.Looking carefully, he found that the inside and outside of the glass window had been nailed to death. Was it Zhao Lianpu, the distant relative who built the villa, who nailed the windows to prevent theft?But there is an anti-theft net outside the window, why should the window be nailed down? However, that's someone else's private matter, and I'm just here to borrow a night, so why should I care so much about it? Without thinking about it, Zhou Yuanyi went straight to get a towel, toothpaste and toothbrush, and was about to go to the public bathroom at the end of the corridor on the third floor to wash up a bit. When he came to the end of the corridor, the bathroom had already been occupied, and Zhou Yuanyi happened to see Lin Yuner and Uncle Bao leaving as well. Come over, the old and the young are discussing martial arts vigorously, and they will meet to discuss each other when they are free. After chatting with them a few words, the door of the bathroom opened, and there was a crazy girl and chalk inside.The crazy girl couldn't take care of herself, it was Chalk who washed her face and brushed her teeth. After Chabi and the crazy girl left, Zhou Yuanyi hurried into the bathroom, washed up as quickly as possible, and returned to the guest room.He was really sleepy. Probably because Zhou Yuanyi felt very tired because of too many and exciting things he encountered today.He adjusted the air conditioner to the most suitable temperature, turned off the bedside lamp, and fell asleep within a few minutes of lying on the steel pipe bed. He slept soundly and dreamless all night. The next day, Zhou Yuanyi woke up naturally after sleeping until he opened his eyes. It's dark inside, isn't it daylight yet?Zhou Yuanyi closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep anyway. Looking at his watch, he couldn't help being surprised, it was after eight o'clock in the morning. It's eight o'clock, why is it still dark in the room? Zhou Yuanyi groped out of bed and turned on the bedside lamp. Looking out the window, it was really dark outside. Have a solar eclipse?But I haven't heard of a solar eclipse recently!Zhou Yuanyi walked to the window, took a closer look, and was stunned. The whole nailed-up window seemed to have been painted black from the outside.The paint is very thick, and no light from the outside world can penetrate into the room, so even if it is dawn, the room is still dark. How is this going?Zhou Yuanyi was completely confused. After turning on the headlights in the guest room, he opened the door.Because the corridor is located on the cross-sectional diameter of the semi-circular building, there is no natural light to enter directly, so it is only illuminated by spotlights on the ceiling.The spotlights were turned on 24 hours a day, the doors of other rooms were closed, and the anti-theft door of the elevator in the middle of the corridor was also closed. Zhou Yuanyi first knocked on Uncle Bao's door, and a few minutes later, the door opened. Uncle Bao muttered sleepily: "What's the matter, what time is it now? It's not yet dawn, what door are you knocking on?" It seems that the windows in Uncle Bao's room were also splashed with black paint from the outside. Uncle Bao was shocked when he learned from Zhou Yuanyi that it was already past eight o'clock. He took out his mobile phone to check the time, and went back to his room to look at the window glass. Sure enough, the outside of the glass was dyed thick black. Like ink. "Something's wrong, something's wrong!" Uncle Bao muttered as he went out of the room to the corridor, banging on the doors of the guest rooms one after another. A few minutes later, the mad girl and chalk went out first, followed by Tie Nan and Wanzi, but Lin Yun'er was the only one missing. Looking at their room again, the outside of the window glass was also dyed black, and it was impossible to see the situation outside the small building. Everyone was wondering why the window turned black?Is it just to obstruct the tenant's view?But what's the use? But Zhou Yuanyi was more concerned about Lin Yun'er who hadn't left the room for a long time.Was it because she was in a deep sleep that she didn't hear the knock on the door? He slammed on the door a few more times, but there was still no movement inside the door, Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help feeling a sense of foreboding in his heart.After exchanging glances with Uncle Bao, he took a deep breath, and then slammed his shoulders hard on the door of this guest room at the same time as Uncle Bao. Fortunately, this door is not a security door, but an ordinary wooden door. There was only a "bang", and the door opened in response. Zhou Yuanyi and Uncle Bao shouted Lin Yun'er's name and rushed into the room. The guest room was only a small one, and there was no one in it.Zhou Yuanyi glanced at the situation in the house from the perspective of a criminal police surveying the scene, but he couldn't see anything wrong. There was no sign of a fight here, and the windows of this room were nailed dead, so it was impossible for someone to invade from the outside. .However, the outside of the window glass in the house was also dyed black, and it was impossible to see a little bit of the outside situation. "Could it be that Nurse Lin felt that her room was uncomfortable, so she moved to another unoccupied guest room?" The mad woman rubbed her stomach and asked softly. After a night's rest, her mental state was much better. There is no trace of mental abnormality, and she looks no different from an ordinary pregnant woman. Zhou Yuanyi went mad with Uncle Bao, and under the panicked eyes of the other four people, they came to another unoccupied guest room on the third floor, because the guest room could not be locked from the outside at all, it was just concealed and lightly opened. With a light push, the door opened.But in this room, there was still no sign of Lin Yun'er.And the window glass of that room also turned into a mass of mysterious black. Did Lin Yun'er go to the second floor in the middle of the night? Zhou Yuanyi turned his attention to the elevator in the middle of the corridor.The anti-theft door outside the elevator was tightly closed, Zhou Yuanyi touched his trouser pocket, and the key that Zhao Lianpu gave him was still safely in his trouser pocket. The anti-theft door can only be opened with a key, but the key is with Zhou Yuanyi.Lin Yun'er didn't have a key, so it was impossible for her to leave the third floor of the villa voluntarily, so how did she leave?Besides Zhou Yuanyi, the only person who has the key to the elevator door is Zhao Lianpu, the owner here. Could it be that Zhao Lianpu went upstairs late at night and called Lin Yun'er away? This conjecture made Zhou Yuanyi very disappointed. He didn't want his sweetheart to leave with another man in the middle of the night. But if that was the case, there was nothing he could do.Ask yourself, what qualifications do you have to manage others?After all, I just have a crush on Lin Yun'er, or at most, the two have a crush on each other, but they haven't made their relationship explicit. Besides, Zhao Lianpu is not like someone who can coerce Lin Yuner to leave here by violence, not to mention that Lin Yuner can attract people from other guest rooms by calling for help, even if she doesn't call for help, she can subdue Zhao Lianpu with all her strength This kind of pampered middle-aged man. Uncle Bao also came over, patted Zhou Yuanyi's shoulder with a wry smile, and signaled him to hold on, and not to be overwhelmed by the predictable facts—the old man knew clearly, and had already seen through Zhou Yuanyi's thoughts in the car. Anyway, use the key to open the elevator door and go to the second floor to have a look. Zhou Yuanyi took out the key in frustration and opened the anti-theft door outside the elevator. The elevator appeared in front of everyone. Judging from the floor display, the elevator car is now on the second floor. After arranging the guest's room last night, Zhao Lianpu took the elevator back to the second floor, so the car should naturally stay on the second floor.However, if Zhao Lianpu went upstairs to look for Lin Yun'er in the middle of the night, and the two left together, the car should also stay on the second floor. What is the situation?If it is the first case, then it is impossible to explain why Lin Yun'er disappeared from the world.It seems that the second guess is more likely. Therefore, at this moment, Zhou Yuanyi's mood is very complicated, all kinds of feelings are mixed in his heart, but he can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he can't say a word. The elevator slowly ascended to the third floor. In silence, Zhou Yuanyi stepped into the car, and then the other five people also entered the car. Close the elevator door, and the elevator descends to the second floor.After the car stopped descending, a security door appeared in front of everyone. "If I were Writer Zhao, if I really had a tryst with Lin Yun'er in the middle of the night, in order to prevent others from disturbing me, especially Police Officer Zhou who also has the security door key, maybe I would lock the security door from outside the elevator door on the second floor." Chalk suddenly Said heartlessly. Maybe because of her physical disability, she has seen too much of the world, so she always likes to hit others and takes pleasure in it. Zhou Yuanyi didn't say anything, just silently inserted the key into the lockhole and twisted it lightly.Fortunately, the key can be twisted, and the other side of the anti-theft door is not locked. "It seems that they have done a good job, I'm not afraid that you will open the door." Chalk sneered again and hit Zhou Yuanyi. Zhou Yuanyi ignored Chabi's sarcastic remarks, and gently pushed open the security door. The moment the anti-theft door was pushed open, a black figure dangled in everyone's sight. Zhou Yuanyi's eyes blurred, and when he settled down to see what the swaying black shadow was, he immediately felt discomfort in his chest, and an indescribable, unknown liquid surged in his throat. Behind him came a series of shrill screams, the loudest ones were the meatballs and chalk, and the crazy woman let out a hysterical sharp laugh, she seemed unable to stand such a stimulus, and showed signs of illness again. Tetsuo didn't scream, but his situation was even more dangerous. He had a serious heart attack. After seeing the body hanging upside down, his heart couldn't bear the stimulation and he fainted. Only Uncle Bao was still calm. He tried his best to contain the fear in his heart, and he was bending down and pinching the man above Tie Nan's lips. This is the body of a woman, suspended upside down by a strong red rope from the chandelier light socket on the ceiling outside the elevator anti-theft door on the second floor. A bloody hole was cut in the throat of the female corpse, and countless scars were cut across the face by a sharp knife. The flesh and blood flew, and some stubble mixed with the face, scattered on the floor outside the elevator door. The most shocking thing is that a long slit was opened from the female corpse's throat to the navel, in the shape of a disemboweled belly, and all the organs in the abdominal cavity disappeared.There wasn't much blood on the floor, and it looked like he had been killed elsewhere before being hung on the lamp stand. The lamp base was quite high, and the hands of the female corpse hanging upside down were still dangling in the air, and one hand just swayed in front of Zhou Yuanyi's eyes, and slowly stopped.On the resting wrist, there is a clearly visible tattoo. It is the word "Wu" in seal script. Looking at the word "Wu", Zhou Yuanyi suddenly felt thunderous, and his mind went blank. Oh my god, it's Lin Yun'er. After pulling down the ambulance driver, Master Chen, she once rolled up her sleeves to reveal this tattoo, Zhou Yuanyi still remembers it vividly. Lin Yun'er was actually killed!Moreover, she was disembowelled, and the organs in her abdomen disappeared. That guy Zhao Lianpu definitely did it! Zhou Yuanyi was furious, he wished he could drag Zhao Lianpu out immediately, disembowel him, and hang him upside down on the lamp holder of the ceiling chandelier.But Zhou Yuanyi also knew that Zhao Lianpu would not be captured without a fight, perhaps he had already escaped from this villa. Everyone else in the elevator car was completely terrified by this scene.Tie Nan had already woken up, Zhou Yuanyi quickly reached out and pulled Lin Yun'er's body aside, let the other five people help each other out of the elevator, bypassed the screen, and temporarily settled down in the living room on the second floor. Then Zhou Yuanyi and Uncle Bao searched the second floor, but just as Zhou Yuanyi expected, Zhao Lianpu had long since disappeared.And all the windows on this floor have been stained black from the outside, so that the light from the outside world cannot enter the villa through the glass windows. I really don't know what Zhao Lianpu was thinking, why did he dye the window glass black?Is it just to obstruct other people's sight? Back outside the elevator door, Zhou Yuanyi and Uncle Bao worked together to put down Lin Yun'er's body and put it on the bed in Zhao Lianpu's bedroom. Although from the point of view of criminal investigation, this did not comply with the principles and regulations of on-site investigation, Zhou Yuanyi really couldn't bear to see Lin Yun'er's body still hanging upside down on the lamp socket of the chandelier.He couldn't bear to look directly at Lin Yun'er's body, and even covered it with a new bed sheet from Zhao Lianpu's bedroom. Back in the living room, the crazy girl was still hysterical, and it was only thanks to the joint efforts of Tetsuo and Chalk that she was pushed down on the fabric sofa opposite the LCD TV.But Wanzi sat there with a pale face, silent.He was still young, and although he had lived on the streets for a long time, this was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene. Sitting on the sofa, Uncle Bao asked feebly, "What should we do now?" Before Zhou Yuanyi could answer, Chalk yelled: "Of course I'm leaving here! The sooner I leave, the better! I'm so tired of this place!" "That's right, we should leave!" Uncle Bao nodded and turned his gaze to Zhou Yuanyi. Zhou Yuanyi raised his head and looked at the screen.Behind the screen is the elevator. I remember that last night, Zhao Lianpu led them up the elevator from the first floor to the second floor. There was no anti-theft door at the entrance of the elevator on the first floor, it was just a simple wooden door. No wonder Zhao Lianpu only said this key when he handed over the key Ability to open security doors outside elevators on 2nd and 3rd floors. So now they should be able to leave the villa without hindrance.As long as you can find a place with a mobile phone signal, you can call the police.There was a female corpse that had been disembowelled in the villa. A murder case happened naturally, and the police had to be present.I remembered that Zhou Yuanyi had received a call from Lan Ruohai when he got off the car, but he couldn't receive the signal anymore. Maybe if he looked further away during the day, he might be able to receive the signal of the mobile phone. Zhou Yuanyi stood up and led the crowd into the elevator again. In order to prevent the crazy girl from going crazy, Uncle Bao and Zhou Yuanyi tightly grabbed the crazy girl's arm. After a slight tremor, the elevator car stopped on the first floor, and a familiar smell of engine oil entered Zhou Yuanyi's nostrils again. The elevator door opened slowly, revealing a tightly closed wooden door. It's just a wooden door, so it should be able to open with just a hard slam, right?Zhou Yuanyi thought so, but when he bumped into it with Uncle Bao, he realized that it was not as easy to open as he imagined. Although the door was made of wood, it was very strong and could not be opened at all.Zhou Yuanyi stretched out his fingers, and plucked hard at the wooden door panel, removing a layer of sawdust, and then he saw that there was a thick steel plate under the wooden panel. Too bad it turned out to be a security door disguised as a wooden door. Are we going to be locked up in this villa with no way out?Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and Chalk and Wanzi groaned in pain from behind. Only Uncle Bao and Tie Nan remained calm, and there was even an imperceptible smile on Uncle Bao's face. Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help but wonder secretly, why did these two people not change their expressions at this point?Even if Uncle Bao is an old man, how could Tie Nan, who was seriously ill and just woke up from a coma, be so calm? At this time, Uncle Bao smiled slightly, then turned his head, and said to Tie Nan who had regained his strength: "Godson, it's time for you to perform." Zhou Yuanyi was puzzled, acting?Now that the situation is in dire straits, what kind of performance can this sick iron man perform? Tetsuo groped in his trouser pocket for a long time, and finally found something unexpected. Those were two iron wires, very thin and soft, about five inches long. Zhou Yuanyi has been a criminal policeman for many years, and once he saw these two thin and soft iron wires, he knew what Tie Nan was going to do. He wanted to use these two thin iron wires as a tool to pry open the security door disguised as a wooden door in front of him. Zhou Yuanyi also knew that if a person like Tie Nan, who was almost incapable of working, wanted to make a name for himself on the street, he would more or less have to make some mistakes.Picking the door lock with a thin wire is by no means an easy task. It requires a lot of patience and a finger with a sensitive touch beyond ordinary people.Tetsuo must have practiced for a long time and suffered a lot to learn this.He practiced the door prying stunt, certainly not for fun, but for stealing money. From the standpoint of the police, perhaps Zhou Yuanyi should arrest Tie Nan after he leaves here, and maybe he can solve several backlogged theft cases with this clue.But put yourself in the shoes of a man, how can Tetsuo survive on the streets because of his health?If Lin Yun'er's plan can be successfully completed, using the medical funds provided by the United Nations to cure Tetsuo's illness, Tetsuo can become a normal person and no longer need to rely on theft for a living, which is considered a merit. But... now Lin Yun'er has turned into a cold corpse that has been disembowelled... However, at this time Zhou Yuanyi had another idea in his heart. Zhou Yuanyi had been obsessed before that besides himself, only Zhao Lianpu could open the anti-theft door of the elevator, so he was the only murder suspect.But now seeing that Tie Nan can actually pry open the door with a thin wire, and he is also carrying a prying tool with him, then it is possible that he took Lin Yun'er away last night. But Tie Nan has no strength to restrain a chicken, and Lin Yun'er has practiced martial arts, how could he take Lin Yun'er away quietly? But if Uncle Bao was there to help, that would be a different matter, after all Lin Yun'er is a girl, and Uncle Bao is a master of Wing Chun. Zhou Yuanyi didn't dare to think about it anymore, he only hoped that Tie Nan could quickly open the anti-theft door, leave the villa and find a place to call the police, and arrest the writer named Zhao Lianpu as soon as possible. With a "click", the door lock was picked open.Tetsuo is really fast, it only took five seconds before and after, it seems that he is a habitual thief. But when Tetsuo pushed the door, the door didn't move at all. "Strange!" Tie Nan shouted loudly, "Why can't the door be opened?" "Could it be that the door lock hasn't been picked?" Uncle Bao asked worriedly, frowning. But Tie Nan said confidently: "When did I make a mistake? Is there any anti-theft door that I can't open?" Uncle Bao also nodded, it seems that he also knows the strength of his son. But why can't the door be opened?The door lock had obviously been picked.Is there any solid thing blocking the opening direction of the anti-theft door? Zhou Yuanyi and Uncle Bao hurried up, pushed the door out together with Tie Nan, and even the little boy Wanzi stepped forward to help.But the door still didn't move at all, as if there was a wall blocking the door. Tie Nan was unconvinced, and he yelled angrily: "What did Zhao Lianpu block the door with? I don't believe it anymore, I have to tear down this door!" Take it down?Zhou Yuanyi was taken aback at first, but then he was relieved. For a person like Tie Nan who is well versed in lockpicking skills, opening the door is just an exaggeration. Screws, the door can really be removed. After Tetsuo glanced at the hinge of the anti-theft door, he quickly found out which screws needed to be removed, and then he took out another strange-shaped steel piece from his trouser pocket.He inserted one end of the steel sheet into the nut of the screw, and with a slight twist, the screw was removed by him.He followed suit and took off several screws one after another. In the end, Tetsuo signaled everyone to stand inside the elevator car, and said, "Now this door is about to fall face down. Be careful, don't get smashed." 说时迟那时快,防盗门的门板已经晃晃悠悠地倒了下来,但疯女、粉笔和丸子还没做好让道的准备,周渊易赶紧上前一步,抬手撑住了斜着下落的门板,同时朝外伸出脑袋,瞟了一眼门后,想看看赵连蒲究竟用什么重物挡住了开门的方向。 但当他看到门后的东西后,立刻长吐一口气,感觉自己似乎坠入了无底的深渊之中。 其他也都看到了门后的情形,疯女、粉笔与丸子立刻嚎啕大哭了起来,宝叔也禁不住连声叹气,铁男则呆立着,不知道说什么才好。 门后,是一堵墙,一堵厚厚的墙,挡住了所有人的生路。 赵连蒲离开的时候,居然在一楼的电梯门外,砌了一堵墙。 不过,门堵住了,也不能说他们完全被堵死了生路。 记得一楼的层高很矮,而二楼有窗户,虽然窗户的外侧被颜料染黑了,但只要砸破玻璃,就能从二楼跳下去,反正不算高,周渊易读警校时就练过由上往下的跳跃技巧,而宝叔又练过武,跳下去应该不会遇到危险。 再不济,把赵连蒲卧室里的床单全部连接捆绑在一起,做成一条粗壮的绳子,也能将铁男、疯女、粉笔和丸子送到别墅外的地面。 想到这里,周渊易又振奋起了精神,但他还是有一点感觉很是疑惑,赵连蒲费了那么多力,居然连夜在一楼电梯门外砌了一堵墙,难道他就不知道周渊易他们可以从二楼跳下来吗?莫非二楼的窗户被他搞了鬼?而窗户外侧被染成黑色,也是赵连蒲搞鬼计划中的一个环节? 上到二楼,周渊易来到屏风后的客厅里。 在昨天夜里进入别墅时,周渊易就曾因为看到楼上每间窗户都很狭窄而感到诧异。而现在,他站在客厅里的小窗户前,用手指弹了弹玻璃,就发现这块玻璃相当厚实,甚至比汽车挡风玻璃更为坚实。 周渊易顿时有了一种不祥的预感,他顺手操起客厅里的一把椅子,狠狠砸向了镶在这扇窗户上的玻璃。只听“喀嚓”一声,椅子散裂了,折断了一根椅腿,但玻璃却丝毫无损,连个白印都没有留下。 然后周渊易又换了一个办法,他摸出昨天夜里赵连蒲交给他的那把钥匙,夹在指缝里,再捏成拳头,让钥匙尖凸出于拳头之外,集中全身力量,狠狠一拳砸在了玻璃上,周渊易的力气本来就很大,又将所有力量都汇集在钥匙尖上,接触面小,压强大,即使是汽车挡风玻璃,也应该能够被砸出一个孔洞。 但遗憾的是,漆黑的玻璃依然完好如初,仿佛嘲笑一般,挺立在原处。 “怎么回事?”宝叔诧异地问道。 周渊易叹了口气,沮丧地答道:“是防弹玻璃。” 真是不可思议,一幢修在偏僻野外悬崖边上的别墅,居然用防弹玻璃做窗户玻璃?究竟是为了防范盗贼?还是防范屋里的人外逃? 从种种迹象来看,周渊易认为似乎更倾向于后者。 赵连蒲的目的何在?现在所有出口都被堵了,周渊易他们六人根本无法离开这里,难道赵连蒲存心想将他们困在别墅中活活饿死吗?他们本来是因为意外才来到了这里,之前从来没有预想过来到这幢别墅,他们与赵连蒲素不相识,往日无冤近日无仇,赵连蒲为什么要置他们于死地?莫非他是个不折不扣的天生冷血杀人狂? 现在周渊易只希望自己的同事能尽快发现他失踪了,然后调看他的手机通话记录。谢天谢地,那个叫蓝若海的策划专家曾经给他打过一个电话,周渊易恰好在距离这别墅只有两百米的地方接听过,如果警局同事能敏感地发现事出蹊跷,通过特情手段查出最后通话地点,派人到通话地点进行搜索,一定会发现这座别墅。 这一下,周渊易终于知道赵连蒲为什么会把窗户玻璃全部染黑了。 他不是为了阻碍别墅里住客的视线,而是为了不让外面的人看到别墅里有什么情况。 不知当警察局同事看到一座外观很新的别墅,所有窗户都被染黑了,会有什么样的想法,他们是会认为里面有问题呢?还是认为这里是私家重地,主人家为窗户上贴上了一种保护隐私的太阳膜? 周渊易的心,顿时又沉落到了谷底。
