Although the vengeful ghost has a reason to become a demon, but for the Yucun family who was brutally murdered, this is a disaster for no reason at all.No matter what cruel and inhuman crimes the young and energetic Koemon committed, his children and grandchildren should not suffer the consequences. As the head of the family, Zentaro atones for his father's crimes and pays off his debts.But the three beloved children also encountered such an innocent disaster, so it is unreasonable.Not only that, Ichiro and Taeko had been seriously injured before, Zentaro's younger brother Tokujiro also died tragically, and Jiro's girlfriend Hanazono Yoko was chopped up by the villains, right?

What a greedy vengeful ghost.He even extended the last blood of the Yucun family, no, not only the Yucun family, he even extended his claws to the close relatives of the Yucun family, and carried out cruel killings.This is not revenge at all, he is simply a bloodthirsty killer.How long will the heavens allow this bloodthirsty demon to run rampant? No no no, impossible.The law of heaven recurs, the world is always fair, and there are always accidents.No matter how elaborate the devil's machinations, there are loopholes. In the case of the magician's revenge, Wen Dai's betrayal falls into this category.She accidentally heard the plot to flood the basement, tried every means to escape from the steamboat moored at the mouth of the Sumida River, informed the famous detective Kogoro Akechi of the news that the Tamamura family was in deep danger, and took him to the mansion of the flag.

Akechi then quickly notified the Boyue Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department.Although it was late at night, both the Metropolitan Police Department and the Koishichuan Police Station dispatched several police officers to cooperate with the scholar who had accompanied Tamamura to the banquet and was waiting in another room to try their best to rescue the victim. Several rescuers rushed down the secret staircase to the basement entrance.Unexpectedly, in addition to the heavy iron gate, there is also a solid red brick wall on the outside. It seems that this double barrier cannot be easily broken through.

If there were only one or two rescuers, it would be even more difficult to rescue Yucun's family while they were still alive.Fortunately, there were so many people, everyone split up to find the right tools. Some pried open the cracks in the bricks, some beat the walls, and some kicked and kicked.After a lot of hard work, the wall was finally defeated, and the door lock was smashed open after a while. As soon as the door was opened, turbid water gushed out one after another. The leading police officer couldn't hold back and was immediately rushed to the bottom of the stairs, in a chaotic situation.But in the end, the father and son were successfully rescued.

When they were carried to the room on the ground, the three of them were already limp and weak, like corpses.It took a lot of effort for everyone to light a fire and boil water, but fortunately, Zentaro, Ichiro and Jiro were always in relatively strong health, and they regained their strength in no time. When Zentaro regained consciousness, his first sentence was to ask about the safety of his beloved daughter: "Where's Taeko? Is Taeko alright?" A moment ago, the police learned that Taeko had disappeared into the icy water, so they rushed back to the basement and searched every corner carefully, but surprisingly, they couldn't find Taeko anywhere.The doors were closed, and it was impossible for even a strong young man to climb from the flooded cave to the ground.But where did Taeko go?

No, Taeko was not the only one who disappeared, and the magician Genzo Okumura also disappeared.He didn't leave any clues. What's even more strange is that the key figure Kogoro Akechi and the villain's daughter Wendai disappeared at some point, and they couldn't be found anywhere. Where did the two go and what did they do?The Yucun father and son escaped unharmed, so I will not describe their situation for the time being. The author must explain to readers the subsequent actions of Zhizhi and Wendai. Judging that Yucun and his son should be rescued smoothly, Zhizhi doesn't plan to stay in Qiben's mansion any longer.He thought it was absolutely impossible for Taeko to be in the basement, so he asked Bunyo instead.

"Ah, I remembered. They discussed to rescue Ms. Taeko and bring them to the boat." Wen Dai replied. "Then how did they get Miss Taeko out of the basement? Is there any other secret passage?" "Well, I know the location of another secret passage. There is a secret door in the basement wall leading to the grass outside the house." They immediately went to check, and there were indeed several inconspicuous mechanisms that looked like warehouse doors on the red brick wall, which could only be opened from the outside.The villain must have gone outside and taken Miaozi away secretly.Her father and brother were caught up in the chaos and didn't find out in time.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Please lead me to the exit of the secret passage immediately." Wen Dai was reprimanded, but he didn't know how to refute.In fact, she didn't think of this.She was only concerned that her father might still be lurking in the secret path, even if it was for justice and love, this daughter of hers still couldn't betray her father without hesitation.It's a pity that Zhizhi doesn't understand Wendai's inner struggle, it's really unbearable. Even so, now that things have developed to this point, Wen Dai can no longer continue to protect his father.

"Okay, I'll take you there." There was a hint of pathos in her determination. When the two walked out of the mansion, they saw that the entrance of the cave was tightly covered by dense weeds, and those who didn't know could not see the flaws at all. Wisely brushed aside the weeds, turned on the prepared flashlight, and the cat waisted down into the cave to check.As expected, there was no one there. "Hey, something fell on the ground." Wen Dai had sharp eyes and picked up a silver hairpin.I've never seen it before, but it's definitely Taeko's hair accessory.

"Sure enough, Ms. Taeko may have already boarded the boat. Come on, they will never abandon you and go to sea to escape. Please take me to the boat. "Well, I've thought of that, but you alone..." "Hey, don't worry, you won't be able to catch up any longer. Besides, it's easier to get things done if I go alone than with a large group of people. I already have a perfect countermeasure." So, the two ran to the side of the road holding hands, reached out and stopped a taxi and rushed to the mouth of the Sumida River. The place where Wen Dai asked the driver to stop was the desolate grassland on the coast of Yuedao, where there were almost no people.Off the course of the estuary, a steamboat was vaguely seen drifting, its position indicated by a faint mast light, neither at anchor nor sailing.

"Need any signal?" It seemed necessary to let the steamer down and a dinghy to meet the man.There should be a fixed contact password. "Yes." Wen Dai replied, then took out a match from his pocket, polished it with a "crack", waved it two or three times, and threw the embers into the sea. After a while, only the creaking and rolling of oars was heard, and a small boat approached the shore beating the white breaking waves. Wisely hide behind the stone wall on the shore in time. "Is it Miss Wendai?" A deep voice came from the boat. "Well, is it Brother San San?" "That's right. The boss came back and asked Xiaowen where you were." "Is Dad alone?" "No, there is another lady." Although the voice was low, Zhizhi heard it clearly. "Brother Three Times, can you please come up here? I have something to ask you to help." Wen Dai lured him ashore three times according to the plan. "Things? What did you buy again?" Unknowingly tied the boat to the shore three times, and walked up the stone steps unsuspectingly. "Miss Wendai, where are your things?" "here." "Where? Where?" At this time, three times inadvertently caught sight of a figure suddenly appearing from behind the stone wall. "Ah, who are you!" "Hahaha, don't be so surprised, as long as you shut up obediently, I won't shoot casually." Zhizhi calmly comforted the other party, but held a shiny gun in his right hand, aiming the muzzle at Three Times' chest.
