Chapter 8 Chapter 7: The Castle Administrator’s Unexpected Death

When we arrived at the central hall, four police officers and several residents of the small town also walked in. I saw those residents in the hotel last night, and when they saw me, they shouted: "That's him! " I believe that if I was not in a small country like Andorra at this time, the four policemen would be extremely nervous when those people called out, and they would immediately draw their guns at me!But at this time, the four police officers looked at a loss. It was obvious that in the peaceful mountain life, there were very few crimes at all. It may also be because they thought I was alone, and at this time, In the Grand Duke's Castle, it's a bit unbelievable.

After hearing the villagers' accusations, the four policemen whispered to each other and discussed for a while, before one of them came to me: "Sir, someone came to complain, saying that you took away Gu Ang by improper means? " I smiled wryly: "If this is a formal accusation, then I absolutely deny it!" As soon as the police officer heard what I said, he turned around with relief, and said to the villagers: "He denies the accusation, you—" A villager shouted, "Where is Gu Ang?" The police officer turned to me again: "Yes, where is Gu Ang? Sir, can you ask him to come out and ask him, did he come with you voluntarily, or did you force him to come by improper means? "

The policeman's attitude was really funny, but I couldn't laugh at all, I just felt extremely tired and sighed: "I don't know where Gu Ang is!" Everyone was stunned by my words, and an old villager said: "You don't know where he is? What does this mean? We all saw that you used violence to push him into the car!" I said: "I don't deny that I pushed him when I got in the car, but he voluntarily followed me to the castle. After arriving at the castle...after..." What happened after arriving at the castle is actually very simple. It can be said from the source.But I couldn't go on, because if I told the truth that Gu Ang disappeared within five seconds after making a cry, who would believe me?

I hesitated and didn't continue. The look of the person looking at me became more and more puzzled. I asked the old villager: "Excuse me, do people disappear inexplicably in the Grand Duke's Castle?" The old villager was taken aback by my question and didn't know how to answer it. The four police officers took a step closer to me and said, "Sir, you must come with us!" I waved my hand: "I have no problem going with you, the problem is that Gu Ang is gone! I suggest that as long as one person takes me away, the rest of the people stay in the castle and look for Gu Ang. He is on the third floor The first room in the east wing is missing! Not only him, but two Chinese people! They are also missing!"

The four police officers frowned, and regarded me as someone who was insane. They took a few steps back and discussed with several villagers for a while. I didn't listen to what they were talking about, because at this time, my thoughts , is in extreme chaos, all I can see are those villagers shaking their heads constantly.I don't know what the result of their discussion was, but I saw two police officers walking towards me again: "Please come with us!" I smiled helplessly, followed the two police officers, and walked out. When I walked out of the gate of the castle, I looked back at the majestic Grand Duke Castle, and I really didn't know what it was like.

The two police officers have always been very polite to me, and, as if they had to take me away, they felt very embarrassed.However, when I arrived at the sheriff's office in that small town, things were different.The police officer, about forty years old, was extremely fat, and his uniform, I believe, must have been specially made. When I walked into his office and he walked towards me with a big belly, I felt a little bad, because his expression was like a fat cat that saw a mouse! The two officers reported to him, and he looked me up and down, then went back to his desk and sat down, firing me a barrage of questions.

This series of questions is nothing more than where I come from, etc., and there is no need to write them down. I also handed over my passport to him, and he flipped through my passport with great interest—it was almost full of countries in the world. Then, he put my passport in the drawer, trying to protrude his small eyes from the fat: "You are under arrest!" I smiled bitterly: "For what?" The fat police officer's small eyes protruded even more: "You violently kidnapped the victim and the victim disappeared. This is a serious criminal case! You can wait for charges in the detention center behind!"

I didn't make any distinctions, because what the fat police officer said was true after all, I had no choice but to hope that the environment in the detention center wasn't very bad, then, as soon as Gu Ang appeared, I would be fine! The fat police officer yelled, commanded two police officers, and took me to the detention center with a majestic appearance. I dare say he has never had the opportunity to show such a majesty since he became a police officer.This fat police officer is extremely unkind to me, and I've noticed it. The so-called "detention center" was actually a small room at the back of the police station. There was a bed, a table and a chair. As soon as I entered, the two police officers closed the door.

The small room has a window facing the street. I lay on the bed and could hear the voices of people passing by on the street.I fell on the bed and closed my eyes.It wasn't until this time that I finally realized the feeling of howling and crying alone in the castle after Rainbow couldn't find Wang Jufeng. This feeling is really uncomfortable. The whole thing has left my mind in complete turmoil, without a clue.I'm not even sure what kind of thing I've encountered! In the old castle, at least three people disappeared. Is it really "back to the past"?They must have hid, but where did they hide?Is this the reason why Grand Duke Baoneng was not allowed to play hide-and-seek in the castle?But why has this ban of Grand Duke Baoneng not been discovered?

In the confusion of thoughts, I gradually fell asleep.It is estimated that I only slept for less than two hours, and was suddenly awakened by a burst of shouting.Shouts came from all directions, and the small room where I was hiding, and the wall facing the street, also made a "puffy" knocking sound. When I just woke up, I really didn't know what happened. When I opened my eyes, I heard people on the street shouting: "Kill him! Kill him!" I was stunned for a moment, in a peaceful mountain town, suddenly, at least a hundred people shouted "Gu Si him", then something extremely unusual must have happened!

I stood up quickly, and as soon as I stood up, I found that the window facing the street in the small room was crowded with five or six teenagers, looking inside.There was no one in the room but me, of course they were watching me.Moreover, as soon as I stood up and found them, these five or six teenagers all screamed in unison, and their heads disappeared from the window immediately, replaced by exclamations: "He's inside!" Following the boy's exclamation, someone shouted again: "Kill him!" Only then did I realize that the cry was coming from under the window.I'm starting to feel that something is terribly wrong!I was just about to stand on that stool and see what happened outside from the window, but as soon as I stepped on the stool, before my hands climbed onto the iron branches on the window, the door was opened with a "bang", fat The police officer shouted loudly: "Don't move!" I looked back and saw the fat police officer and four police officers were all at the door. The fat police officer took the lead, holding a rifle in his hand. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at me, and his finger was buckled on the trigger. Because of his fat fingers, when his fingers were inserted into the buckle of the gun and were about to be placed on the bolt, the bolt was forced to move backwards to make room for his fingers to go in.In other words, when the rifle is half-fired, as long as his finger moves a little, I will become a target! So, when I saw this situation, I was shocked, and quickly raised my hands: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! Can you put down the gun in your hand first?" The fat police officer shouted, "You want to escape?" Only then did I realize that I was still standing on the stool, and it was right by the window, so I was suspected of trying to escape from the prison, so I quickly jumped off.Unexpectedly, when I jumped down, the fat police officer was shocked.While his whole body was shaking, it was really a miracle that he didn't let the rifle in his hand go off! While shaking, he shouted loudly: "Don't move!" I explained, "I just want to see what's going on in the street!" At this time, the shouts and noises on the street continued to increase, and the fat police chief sneered: "Turn around! Face the wall and put your hands behind your back!" He had a gun pointed at me, and I couldn't resist, and I didn't want to resist, when I did as he said, I just turned around and stretched my hands behind me, and I was wrestled and handcuffed immediately . Shocked and angry, I yelled, "For what?" As I asked, I turned around, and the fat officer glared at me: "Because we found Gu Ang!" I was even more surprised and inexplicable, I found Gu Ang, I should be fine at all, why did you handcuff me like a criminal?I hurriedly said, "I found him! That's good, tell him to come see me!" The fat police officer showed a very sinister smile: "I'm afraid he can't come to see you, I want you to see him!" I shouted: "That's the same, take me to see him!" The fat police officer's expression became even darker: "As soon as you leave here, you will definitely be able to see him! Didn't you hear how many people outside were shouting to kill you?" I was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, there were voices outside one after another, besides "Kill him", some shouted: "Kill that Chinese!" In an instant, I understood!My whole body seemed to be immersed in icy water, I opened my mouth wide and looked at the fat police officer, and was speechless for a moment.The fat police officer smiled triumphantly. I stayed for half a minute before I said, "Gu Ang...Gu Ang...is he dead?" The fat police officer said, "You think he's still alive?" I sprinted straight at him, and in that split second, I lost control! Goon is dead!I absolutely could not have predicted it! Gu Ang is dead, so what about Wang Jufeng and Rainbow?What happened to them?I have long expected that things are not only weird, but also dangerous! As I rushed forward, I shouted: "How did he die? Where did the accident happen? And where are the two Chinese, a man and a woman? There are strange things in the castle, there must be, and a search must be carried out. Search, we-" I couldn't yell anymore, because at this moment, the fat police officer raised the gun in his hand, and the barrel of the gun was almost stuffed into my mouth! The fat police officer pointed his gun at me, turned his head, and said to the four police officers behind him: "See, the murderer is so cunning!" Hearing what he said, I calmed down instead.At the same time, I thought that with Gu Ang's death, my situation was even worse, I became a murderer, and the environmental evidence was extremely unfavorable to me! I took a few steps back and sat down on the bed. "I want to see a senior official, the most senior person in your country!" Can't make sense with a police officer in such a small place, I must see their senior officer! Although the fat police officer didn't like me at all, he was reasonable. In the next two days, he protected my safety. He and his men kept driving out of the detention center to arrest me. Pull out the lynching populace. The people in the small town were very excited, because there were not many residents in the town, and almost every family was related. When Gu Ang died, they decided that I was the murderer, so they shouted "Kill him!" "The people, all the time. Two days later, I was scheduled to leave this small town at midnight and set off under the escort of four police officers. I arrived in the capital of Andorra. Once I arrived, I was put in prison. Ten minutes later, a man with excellent demeanor European gentleman, come into prison to meet me. When I knew that I had become a "murderer", my heart became even more confused. I kept wondering how Gu Ang died, where his body was found, the whereabouts of Wang Jufeng and Rainbow, and so on.But no matter what questions I asked, the fat police officer always answered me with a sinister "hey hey" sneer, so I had no idea what happened! Before Gu Ang died, I was not too nervous about the disappearance of Wang Jufeng and Rainbow.Because according to Rainbow's story, Wang Jufeng disappeared once and reappeared three days later, so I thought that if the two of them disappeared, they should automatically reappear in a few days.But now, Gu Ang died after disappearing, and things are quite different. Since Gu Ang has suffered misfortune, Wang Jufeng and Rainbow have the same possibility! So during the past two days, I was like an ant on a hot pot in that small detention room.My situation is extremely embarrassing, but I didn't kill anyone, and things will always come to light one day.I want to know the cause of Gu Ang's death! But I didn't get any news about Gu Ang's death. I wanted to escape from this detention center several times, but I thought, what should I do after I escape?Still go back to the old castle to find them?It's not that I haven't looked for it, but I failed!Go to the castle to look for it again, but the result is still the same failure! In my life experience, there are many strange things, but no matter what the strange things are, there is always a little clue to follow, and if I follow this clue to explore, the truth will be revealed.Only this time, I have no clue at all, I don't even know what I'm waiting for! At this moment, I saw at a glance that he was very important.As soon as the middle-aged man came in, he introduced himself: "My name is Kang Si, and I am the deputy minister of the Ministry of the Interior. I also work as the head of the Procuratorate's Office and deal with some extraordinary incidents. We are a small country!" I smiled wryly: "Your country is not too small, at least, I have been waiting for two days to see you!" Kang Si didn't seem to mind my sarcasm: "I could have seen you earlier, but it took me two days to look at your profile!" Hearing what he said, I was very excited.I am not a big shot, but if someone is willing to spend two days to understand what kind of person I am, then this person can at least know that I am definitely not the murderer of Goon! I said: "Okay, then I won't blame you, you must have learned a lot in these two days?" Kang Si said: "Yes, Mr. Wesley, I think we are like old friends." As he said, he stretched out his hand. I happily shook hands with him. His hands were thick and powerful. He looked at me. After we let go, I immediately said: "Can I leave here? There are still many things to do. There are two Chinese people who must have their entry records, but these two people are also in the Grand Duke's Castle It's gone!" I would also like to add a sentence: "What's so strange in the Grand Duke's Castle?", but before I said it, Kang Si had already interrupted me: "There are too many things to deal with, and we have to deal with them one by one. to resolve the matter.” I spread my hands, expressing my helpless agreement. Kang Si frowned: "First of all, it's your problem. After I'm sure I know you to a certain extent, I can say that you will never be a murderer!" I felt relieved: "I'm not!" Kang Si smiled bitterly: "You understand the truth, you should know, I believe you are not guilty, it is useless, all the evidence is absolutely against you, even the best lawyer can hardly defend you!" My eyes widened, and for a moment, I didn't know what he meant by that.Kang Si continued: "There are more than ten witnesses who saw you forcing Gu Ang into the car!" I said, "I don't deny it." Kang Si said again: "All signs prove that after you forced Gu Ang to get in the car, you drove straight to the Grand Duke's Castle." I said, "We stopped on the way for about half an hour, but that's all right." Kang Si looked at me: "According to you, after arriving at the Grand Duke's Castle, Gu Ang disappeared?" I said loudly: "Yes! What exactly do you want to say, you might as well say it directly." Kang Si sighed: "Gu Ang's body was found in the Grand Duke's Castle—" Only then did I know that Gu Ang's body was found in the Grand Duke's Castle, and I hurriedly asked, "Where is it in the Castle?" Kang Si stared at me, and I said again: "After I was taken to that detention center by two policemen, I only knew that Gu Ang was dead, how he died, and everything else, I don't know anything!" Kang Si was still looking at me without making a sound, I saw his expression was very strange, I couldn't help feeling anxious, and was about to urge him to speak quickly, when Kang Si sighed again: "The policemen are here at the Grand Duke's Castle, you In the central lobby?" I said: "Yes, I was at the window, and when I saw someone coming, I went downstairs to the central hall, just in time to meet them!" Kang Si said: "Is that the one on the third floor of the East Wing? That is the one where you said Gu Ang was missing?" I raised my voice: "Yes! How many times do you want me to tell you? It's that room. I believe that all strange things happened in this room. If you want me to tell you from the beginning, I can guarantee that you never listened to it." Such a strange thing!" Kang Si waved his hand and said: "I will listen to your statement, but take a step further. Let me ask you first, how did you do after you met the police in the lobby?" , why are you still chattering like this?Moreover, almost everything he asked was meaningless!Someone must have reported to him what happened after I met those people in the lobby! However, I endured it: "I told the people that Gu Ang was missing, and the two police officers wanted to take me away, so I suggested that they conduct a thorough search in the castle to find Gu Ang, Wang Jufeng, and Gao Caihong. " Kang Si looked at me: "At this time, you really don't know where he is?" I couldn't help it, and said loudly: "If I knew, I would call Gu Ang out, and I wouldn't let the police take me away!" Kang Si sighed: "After you were taken away by the two policemen, there were two other policemen and those villagers. Of course they hoped to find Gu Anglai. According to what you said, they first went to the third floor of the East Wing. In that room, as soon as they entered, they saw Gu Ang!" I knew a long time ago that Kang Si asked such detailed questions, there must be something unusual about the matter, but I never expected it to be so unusual!As soon as I heard Kang Si say this, I was shocked: "They... found that... Gu Ang... was dead?" Kang Si said: "When they saw Gu Ang, Gu Ang was sitting on an easy chair in the room—" I patted myself on the forehead hard, and lost my voice: "God! Ten minutes ago, I was still sitting in that easy chair!" Kang Si looked at me very sympathetically, and continued: "Listen, the worst thing for you is that when they found Gu Ang, Gu Ang was seriously injured, but he was not dead yet. He grabbed the hand of one of them and said: "Wesley... Wesley... that Chinese, he killed me!" After he finished speaking this sentence, he died!" I couldn't help but take a deep breath, I seem to have to ask Andorra if there is a death penalty in this country, because Guang testified against me like this before he died, and three people heard it, my charges can still be cleared Do I have to take it off? For a moment, I froze and couldn't speak a word, and Kang Si also showed an extremely helpless expression. After a while, I regained my composure: "What kind of injury did Gu Ang die from?" Kang Si said: "He was hit in the chest by an unknown weapon." I said loudly: "Unknown weapon, what does that mean?" Kang Si said: "It's hard to explain to you, maybe you can offer some advice?" I couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Kang Si, you really think of me as a murderer by saying this!" Kang Si waved his hand and said: "That's not what I mean, I just want to invite you to take a look at Gu Ang's body and listen to your opinion!" I waved my hand: "It doesn't matter how Gu Ang died! The problem is that there are two other people who may suffer the same fate. There must be a secret passage in that room, and in the secret passage, there are extremely dangerous murderers entrenched , you must conduct a thorough search!" Kang Si said: "I've checked it! In fact, the Grand Duke's Castle is the most important building in our country. We have been studying it and using many scientific instruments. I can say that there is absolutely no secret passage that has not been discovered, absolutely!" I said, "So, what's your conclusion?" Kang Si said: "I have no conclusion. No matter from which angle you look at it, you are the murderer—" I interrupted him: "Wait a minute! When Gu Ang was dying, he only said that I killed him, not that I killed him. Do you think it makes a difference?" Kang Si said: "Of course there is a difference, it is possible that Gu Ang was killed by someone else, because you brought him to the castle and died, so he would say that, but...but..." I know what Kang Si wanted to say, no one would believe such an explanation, and Gu Ang died so strangely that he didn't even know what weapon caused the damage, and of course the murder weapon was never found! I thought for a moment: "This matter is bizarre, beyond your and my imagination, you have no conclusion, but what steps are you going to take to deal with it?" Kang Si said: "The first step, you must be imprisoned and await interrogation—" I smiled wryly: "As you once said, even the best lawyer can't help me!" Kang Si said: "I can try to postpone the date of the trial as much as possible, and during this time, I will work together with you to solve the problem. I have read your information, and you have solved many problems in the past. You all have extremely high evaluations, I hope this time, you can fight for your own destiny!" Kang Si spoke with great sincerity, and I was very moved when I heard it. I said, "Can I have freedom of movement?" Kang Si said: "I promise you will not run away, so I hope you—" I immediately said: "Don't worry, you trust me so much, we are friends, I will never betray my friend!" Hearing my promise, Kang Si happily patted my shoulder, and I said: "Since the two of us want to work together to solve the problem, I must tell you the whole story in detail!" Kang Si said: "Okay, let's go to the mortuary, along the way, you can tell me." He turned around, told a police officer to open the door, and walked out with me, outside the prison, into his car.It is not far from the prison to the mortuary, but we arrived after an hour, because as soon as I started to tell the whole story, Kang Si was fascinated, stopped the car at a street corner, and listened to me until the end. I have already seen that Kang Si is a very cautious person, he does not draw conclusions lightly when dealing with things, when I finished speaking, he just looked at me blankly with a dazed expression on his face. I said, "You don't believe it?" Kang Si wiped his face with his hand: "It's hard to say, I should believe it, but I can't believe it." I said: "Actually, I don't believe what Wang Jufeng said, his experience either!" Kang Si was stunned for a while: "If you can trust Wang Jufeng, the problem will be easily solved!" I understood what Kang Si meant: "You mean, Gu Ang's death can be explained?" Kang Si's expression was strange: "Yes, suppose Gu Ang went back to the past, was injured in the past, and suddenly came back, no matter in the past or the present, he was always the one who was injured, he was injured in the past, returned to the present and died!" I stared: "This...is too confusing!" Kang Si said: "If it is affirmed that time is also a kind of space, then there is no confusion." I thought about it for a while, and said, "Yes, he was injured at time A and died at time B, that's like being injured at time A and dying at time B!" Kang Si nodded, but I shook my head: "But, how can you come and go freely in time?" Kang Si murmured something, I couldn't hear what he was saying, it seemed like "I don't know" or something.Then he was driving, in a trance, and the car was going on a rampage on the road. It was a blessing that I went into the mortuary with him instead of being carried in because of the car accident! After getting out of the car, he smiled apologetically at me, so I naturally don't blame him for anything. As soon as Kang Si arrived, several staff went in to meet him. All of them looked at me with very strange eyes. We went all the way to the place where the corpses were refrigerated. The long iron cabinet, uncover the white cloth, under the white cloth is the already stiff Gu Ang. Gu Ang had a strange expression on his face, he must have shown this expression when he was dying.I stretched out my hand to brush off the icy flakes on his face, in order to see his strange expression more clearly. His expression is very indescribable, it doesn't seem to be fear or hatred, but rather a very eager expectation, I really don't know what he was thinking before he died? Kang Si slowly lifted the white cloth, and seeing his chest, I was stunned.There was a huge wound on Gu Ang's chest. No wonder Kang Si said it was caused by an "unknown weapon". The wound could be said to be caused by a spherical or hammer-shaped heavy object. Due to that heavy blow, several ribs were broken, and a terrible collapse formed in the chest.Strangely, near the severe blow wound, there are many deep and small holes, clearly pierced by sharp thorns. Those many small holes were around the heavy blow wound. After looking at it, when I stood upside down, I remembered that there is a weapon that can cause such a wound, and that is the mace in old Chinese novels!Poke the chest hard with a mace, and there will be such a wound! But mace, how can I say it?This kind of large weapon is not as good as it can be found in China, let alone a small mountain country in Europe!However, whatever the shape of the weapon, it must have been quite large to be able to inflict such a large fatal injury. I took a breath and straightened up. Kang Si covered the white cloth and looked over at me.I said: "The murder weapon must be quite big──I still stick to my opinion. If there is no secret passage that is unknown, the murderer will definitely not be able to hide the murder weapon and not be discovered!" Kang Si sighed: "You are too stubborn! We used radar detection equipment to check, and it proved that there is no so-called secret passage! Stop thinking about secret passages, it will never solve the problem!" I rolled my eyes and didn't talk about secret passages, all the weird things couldn't be explained.I smiled wryly: "I will give you two choices. The first is that there is a secret passage in the castle, which has not been discovered. The second is that there is an invisible time tunnel in the castle, which can make people go back in time. Which one do you choose?" Same?" This time, it was Kang Si's turn to roll his eyes.I said again: "Two people are missing and one died, can you be more realistic?" Kang Si shook his head: "If I'm realistic enough, I'd rather believe that you killed all three of them!"
