Gothe's death method was definitely not something that a normal human could easily do. What's more, he had spoken to Lu Jian and the others a few hours ago. In other words, he was killed after he returned to the room after leaving the restaurant.
, and there was still time to take a shower.
"We need to confirm the alibi. As for the secret room, the secret room cannot contain monsters."
As Stone spoke, he heard rapid footsteps coming from the corridor.
"this"
The old housekeeper and the maid hurried over and saw Gothe's body. The old housekeeper with silver hair and a monocle couldn't breathe 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 plop, unconscious.
"We need to protect the scene first."
Stone said, glancing at the body.
"A serious murder occurred here. Call the police as soon as possible."
For Stone, it is important to understand the secrets of the Rainstorm Villa, but the task is just to keep them alive until the night of the conjuring. From a utilitarian point of view, staying in the police station is obviously safer than staying in the Rainstorm Villa.
"Okay, okay."
The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then turned around, stepped over the unconscious maid, came to the telephone in the corridor, and started to make a call.
At this time, Rum also arrived at the scene.
When he saw Gothe's appearance, he instinctively frowned and covered his nose...
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. It's Mr. Stone's order."
The old housekeeper just picked up the phone 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 us all away. Taoist Heming and soul summoning are not officially allowed. If they find out, they will arrest us all. Not only can my father not
When we come back, this villa may also be confiscated!"
Rum explained slightly incoherently that he was obviously worried that when the police came, they would make up charges in various ways and imprison him and others in prison, never to see the light of day or one day choke to death in the cell due to eating.
.
The police in the abandoned capital obviously do not have a good reputation. As the protection of the upper class, it is often a luxury to expect them to do things for money. More often, these police will not do things for money, and even do it themselves.
look for a job.
When doing business in the abandoned capital, if you don't have any real power behind you, you will easily be harassed and investigated by the police and squeezed out of your business.
In addition, this mansion is related to Taoist Heming. When the police find out, they will definitely occupy the magpie's nest, drive out Rum and others one by one, and then slowly study the place themselves.
Therefore, in Rum's view, he would rather die here than call the police.
"But"
The old housekeeper looked at Stone.
"This is a murder incident, and it may involve extraordinary power. It is very dangerous to stay here."
Stone took the microphone from the old butler's hand.
But when he picked up the phone and listened and tried turning the dial again, he put down the phone.
"The phone line is down."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar outside the window.
Several people hurriedly came to the window and saw that the road and telephone poles not far away were washed away by the mudslide on the mountain. The road was blocked, the telephone poles also fell, and bursts of current spread on the thick black wires.
Soon, all the lights in the villa were darkened, and the corridor fell into silence and darkness. Only the storm outside the window, lightning and thunder, lit up everyone's face.
"Is there any other way down the mountain?"
Stone asked the old housekeeper.
Gu Shao
"No, there is only one road leading down the mountain."
The old housekeeper was a little nervous, so he answered immediately.
"The road down the mountain is blocked, phone lines and wires are cut off, and we have completely lost contact with the outside world. We can only stay here until this storm is over."
Stone turned to the others and said.
"But don't worry, I made an agreement with Chief Holler before I came here. If I don't have regular phone contact, the police will send someone here, and now"
Stone took his pocket watch out of his pocket and checked the time.
"In another hour, if I still don't call Chief Holler, then he will know that something happened to me, and the police will arrive here tomorrow morning at the latest. As long as nothing happens, we will be able to do it tomorrow night.
Sitting in front of the warm fireplace drinking black tea."
Looking at Stone, Rum suddenly became irritable.
"How could you, this is my father's legacy, this is"
He wanted to grab Stone's collar, but Stone had already moved first. Stone avoided Rum's movement and pressed him against the wall, with his hands locked behind his back.
"Please calm down, Mr. Rum. If there is no serious incident, I will definitely not notify the police."
He asked the old butler to notify the other servants to temporarily seal Gothe's room and the two surrounding guest rooms, and they returned to the restaurant.
Sia didn't know what was happening yet. She was already enjoying the roast chicken and potatoes served by the servant. Although the darkness caused by the lack of electricity meant that the restaurant could only be lit with candles, this did not affect her enjoyment of the food at all.
"You are back, what happened?"
Shia asked, holding a chicken leg in one hand and picking up vegetables with a fork in the other.
"Gaode died. He died on the bed. All his internal organs were missing."
Lu Tan spoke so bluntly that the maids in the restaurant were 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.
"Contact with the outside world has been cut off, and we can't get out for the time being."
Stone said something more, then sat across from Sia, and also picked up the things on the plate and started eating dinner.
Lu Tan cut open the roasted chicken on the plate with a knife and ate it happily.
In the flickering candlelight, Rum looked at the three people feasting and didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
It was clear that Stone and Lu Jian had just seen the corpse, and the corpse was still in that state, but now it was able to eat without any obstacles. What kind of strong mentality does this have?
"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 energy to investigate if you don't have enough food?"
Lu Tan replied matter-of-factly.
They ate for a while, and suddenly, there was a rush of rapid and heavy footsteps in the corridor outside the door.
"I want to get out of here, I want to get out of here!"
Before he saw anyone, Lu Tiao heard the rich woman's cry.
bang
The door was pushed open, and Lu Jian saw Browning's daughter Emma barging into the restaurant with messy hair.
