Chapter 624 623. It's a secret room murder!

Gothe's death method is definitely not something that normal humans can easily do, what's more, he talked to Lu Jian and them a few hours ago, that is to say, he was killed when he returned to the room after leaving the restaurant. , there is still time to take a bath in between.

   "You need to confirm your alibi. As for the secret room. In this case, the secret room can't contain monsters."

  Stone said, and heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the corridor.

"This"

   The old butler and the maid arrived in a hurry and saw Gothe's body, the old butler with silver hair and monocle was a little breathless for a while.

   And the maid was even more real, she didn't even have time to scream, she fainted on the spot, and fell to the floor with a thud, unconscious.

   "We have to protect the scene first."

   said Stone, glancing at the corpse.

   "There has been a serious murder here, call the police as soon as possible."

  For Stone, it is important to know the secrets of this Rainstorm Villa, but the task is to keep them alive until the night of the conjuring. From a utilitarian point of view, staying at the police station is obviously safer than staying in this Rainstorm Villa.

   "Good, good."

  The old butler hesitated for a moment, then turned around, stepped over the fainted maid, came to the telephone in the corridor, and started to make a call.

   At this time, Rum also arrived at the scene.

   He frowned instinctively and covered his nose when he saw Gothe's appearance.

   Then, he saw the old housekeeper who was on the phone in the corridor.

   "Wait, what are you doing?"

  Rum asked anxiously.

   "I'm, uh, calling the police, ordered by Mr. Stone"

   The old butler just picked up the microphone, and froze again when Rum said this.

"You can't call the police, listen, you can't call the police. If the police come, they will take all of us away. Taoist Heming and conjuring souls are not officially allowed. If they find out, they will arrest us, not only father can't Come back, this villa may also be confiscated!"

Rum explained slightly incoherently that he was obviously worried that after the police came, they would make up charges in various ways, put himself and others in prison, never see the light of day or choked to death in a cell one day because of eating. .

The police in Abandoned City are obviously not well-received. As the umbrella of the upper class, it is an extravagant expectation to expect them to take money to do things. More often, these police do not do things with money, and even do things by themselves. look for a job.

   Doing business in the waste city, if there is no real power backing, then it is easy to be harassed and investigated by those policemen and squeezed for oil and water.

   In addition, this mansion is related to Daoist Heming. When the police know about it, they will definitely occupy the magpie's nest and drive out Rum and the others, and then study the place slowly.

   Therefore, in Rum's view, he would rather die here than call the police.

"But."

   The old butler looked at Stone.

   "This is a murder, and it may have involved extraordinary powers, it's dangerous to stay here."

   Stone took the microphone from the old butler.

   But as soon as he picked up the receiver and tried turning the dial again, he put it down.

   "The telephone line is broken."

   As soon as the voice fell, there was a roar outside the window.

   A few people hurried to the window, only to see the road and telephone poles not far away washed away by the mudslides on the mountain, the road was blocked, the telephone poles also fell, and a burst of electricity spread on the thick black wire.

   Soon, the lights of this villa went black, and the corridor fell into silence and darkness. Only the storm outside the window, the lightning and thunder, lit up everyone's faces.

   "Is there any other way down the mountain?"

   Stone asked the old butler.

   "No, there is only one road leading down the mountain."

   The old butler was a little nervous, and he answered immediately.

   "The road down the mountain was blocked, the telephone lines and wires were cut off, and we completely lost contact with the outside world. Until this storm is over, we can only stay here."

   Stone turned and said to the others.

   "But don't worry, I made an appointment with Sheriff Holler before I came, and if I didn't make regular phone calls, the police would send someone here, and now."

  Stone took out his pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time.

"In another hour, if I still don't call Sheriff Holler, then he will know that I have an accident, the police will be here tomorrow morning at the latest, and as long as there is no accident, tomorrow night, we will be able to Sitting in front of the warm fireplace drinking tea."

  Looking at Stone, Rum suddenly became irritable.

   "How can you, this is my father's legacy, this is."

   He wanted to grab Stone's collar, but Stone had already moved first, Stone dodged Rum's movements and pressed it against the wall, his hands locked behind him.

   "Please calm down, Mr. Rum, if there is no vicious incident, I will definitely not notify the police."

   He asked the old butler to notify the other servants, temporarily blocking Gothe's room and the two surrounding rooms, and several people returned to the restaurant.

  Sia didn't know what was going on yet. She was already enjoying the roast chicken and potatoes served by the servant. Although the darkness caused by the lack of electricity made the restaurant only light up with candles, it didn't affect her enjoyment at all.

   "You guys are back, what's the matter?"

   Shia asked, holding the drumstick in one hand and the vegetables with a fork in the other.

   "Gothe died, died on the bed, and his internal organs were missing."

  Lu Kian's blunt words made the maids in the restaurant stunned.

"Oh."

   Shia responded, then took out the potatoes stuffed in the belly of the roast chicken on the plate in front of her, and took a bite.

   "The communication with the outside world has been cut off, and we can't go out for the time being."

  Stone said again, then sat across from Shia, also picked up the things on the plate and started to eat dinner.

   Lu Kizuna cut the roast chicken on the plate with a knife and ate it happily.

   In the flickering candlelight, Rum looked at the three people who were feasting, not knowing what expression to make.

   It was obvious that Stone and Lu Jian had just seen the corpse, and it was still a corpse in that state. Now he can eat without any obstacles. What kind of powerful mentality is this?

   "You can actually eat it?"

  Rum asked weakly. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Looking at the food on the table, he felt a little sick for a while.

   "How can you have the strength to investigate if you are not full."

   Rikukan replied as a matter of course.

   They ate for a while, and suddenly, there was the sound of hurried and heavy footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

   "I'm getting out of here, I'm getting out of here!"

   Before seeing anyone, Lu Bian heard the rich woman's cry.

  嘭——

The door was pushed open, and Lu Bian saw that Browning's daughter Emma entered the restaurant with messy hair.
