When the lights came on again at Xiwu Villa, Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu cautiously walked out of the basement, and then they cautiously closed all the curtains in the room. . fastest update

Fortunately, the murderer used bows and arrows instead of firearms. In this way, as long as everyone closes the doors and windows of the house, the lethality of bows and arrows can be greatly reduced. At least, everyone does not have to worry about the murderer attacking from outside the house. .

With the sound from downstairs, the guests who were originally hidden on the second floor also tried to get out of the room. When they finally determined that the two people downstairs were Lin Xiuyi and Yuan Zhizhu , the courage of the people gradually increased.

"Help everyone, close all the windows first, and the banquet hall on the second floor, please find a way to lock the door as soon as possible."

Lin Xiuyi saw that Mr. Morris, who was sitting beside him just now, was cautiously standing on the stairs, so he hurriedly reminded him that after receiving Lin Xiuyi's order, everyone started to act.

Half an hour later, when everyone returned to the hall again, a relieved expression appeared on everyone's face. So, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly asked everyone about the situation in the house.

"Well, did you find anything?"

"The kitchen, the window on the other side of the kitchen was broken. I think the murderer just broke in from there. I have already locked the kitchen door. It should be...you can rest assured!"

The Englishman named Spencer said breathlessly. Then he looked at everyone.

"Over there, there's a lot of blood on the porch over there, I think...it should be Mr. Shibata's, I can't believe it, why...why does this happen!"

Mr. Asai pointed to the position behind him and said, just now he went there specially to look for Mr. Shibata's trace, but in the end he only found a pool of blood, a pool of blood that disappeared on the lawn outside the house.

"You mean you didn't see Mr. Shibata, did you, Mr. Asai?"

Although the housekeeper Shibata could basically conclude that it was the worst, but Lin Xiuyi still didn't want to use the word corpse. After all, a person he once knew was killed so suddenly right under his nose. Lin Xiuyi couldn't accept it anyway. of.

"Yes, why did this happen, what is going on, and what should we do now, Officer Lin!"

Mr. Asai said to Lin Xiuyi with a bit of a breakdown.

"Don't worry, as long as we guard this house and don't go out, it's safe. It's raining heavily outside, and the murderer is hiding in the dark. If we go out hastily, we're likely to hit the track of the murderer!"

Just as Lin Xiuyi was explaining, suddenly there was a terrified voice in the hall.

"Look at this picture...this picture...it!"

A woman pointed at the destroyed "Love Letter" and said loudly in English. Then he involuntarily took a few steps back.

Lin Xiuyi hurried to the front of the painting. He raised his head and stared at the painting that had been destroyed beyond recognition. He couldn't help feeling a hair on his back.

With the help of the light of the lightning just now, Lin Xiuyi hadn't seen it clearly, and only then did he realize that the painting was now covered with red paint like blood. As if, as if the painting was bleeding.

"This this……"

"It's just paint, not real blood!"

Lin Xiu turned around and said to everyone present. He then removed the painting from the wall and turned it over. Letting such a fierce painting that has been painted red continue to hang on the wall will only make the people here worry.

When everyone calmed down gradually and began to sit together, Lin Xiuyi cautiously asked Mr. Asai tentatively:

"Mr. Asai, have you offended someone recently or encountered something strange?"

"I... I've been abroad recently, and I really don't know how to offend others! Oh... By the way, that picture must have been accidentally offended when I took that picture. …”

Mr. Asai said to Lin Xiuyi with a decadent look on his face, without saying a few words, his emotions became agitated again.

"So... what about Mr. Shibata? Does Mr. Shibata usually sin against anyone?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Mr. Asai again, and he looked at Koichi Asai with a serious face, as if he wanted to see something on the other's face.

"I don't know, I rarely come here recently, so I rarely ask about things in the villa..."

Asai Gongyi shook his head and returned to the road.

"Asai-senpai, in fact, I have a question that I have always kept in my heart, and now I really need to ask you, what are you doing recently? Why did you suddenly leave Japan, why did you suddenly lose Contact! All of this is so different from the usual you!"

Yuan Zhizhu saw that Lin Xiuyi's question was avoided by Asai Gongyi, so he questioned the other party in person.

"This...actually...forget it!"

Asai Gongyi glanced at everyone present with some hesitation, and then said to Lin Xiuyi with some embarrassment.

"Actually, I went to Europe this time to buy a batch of... a batch of special collectibles!"

"A special collectible?"

Yuan Zhizhu couldn't help but ask a little puzzled.

"Yes~lightnovelpub.net~ It is said that a batch of stolen paintings that are about to pass the prosecution period will be sold, so...I want to try my luck, but I don't think I have enough confidence in distinguishing the authenticity, so I just wanted to work with these gentlemen, that's why I've been avoiding you for a while..."

Asai Gongyi lowered his head and whispered with some shame.

When Lin Xiuyi heard Koichi Asai's answer, he couldn't help but look at Yuan Zhizhu. Lin Xiuyi really didn't know what to say about being involved in such a predicament. Now the only hope is to wait for the dawn, only the dawn Now, those servants who have gone down the mountain will come back to work, and then everyone will be saved.

"Everyone is still hungry, so let's go! I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can get you something to eat."

Just when everyone was silent, Ms. Guzawa, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly stood up and greeted everyone.

"Wouldn't it be safe to go alone, or I'd better go with you!"

Seeing Ms. Furusawa standing up, Yuan Zhizhu hurriedly said to her.
