I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Shia didn't know what happened, she was already enjoying the grilled chicken and potatoes brought by the servants, although the darkness caused by the lack of electricity made the restaurant only lit with candles, it didn't affect her enjoyment of the food at all.

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

Shia asked while holding the chicken leg in one hand and picking up vegetables with a fork in the other.

"Gothe is dead, on the bed, and his internal organs are gone."

Lu Jian's outspoken words stunned the maids in the restaurant.

"Oh."

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

"The connection with the outside world is broken, and we can't go out for the time being."

Stone said another word, then sat down opposite Shia, picked up the things on the plate and started to eat dinner.

Lu Yi cut open the grilled chicken on the plate with a knife, and ate happily.

In the flickering candlelight, Rum looked at the three people who were feasting, and for a moment didn't know what expression to make.

Obviously, Stone and Lu Jian had only seen the corpse just now, and it was still a corpse in that state, and now they can eat without any obstacles. What kind of strong mentality is this?

"You guys can eat it?"

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

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

Lu Lian replied naturally.

They ate for a while, and suddenly, there was a rush of heavy footsteps from the corridor outside the door.

"I'm leaving here, I'm leaving here!"

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

bang——

The door was pushed open, and Lu Jian saw that Browning's daughter Emma broke into the restaurant with disheveled hair.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===624. Storm Villa===

Emma's makeup was a bit flowery, which made her look very haggard. She broke into the restaurant hysterically and wailed.

"It's too dangerous here. I want to leave here immediately, but there are dead people. Oh my god, what are you doing?"

She noticed the three people eating big pieces, and her expression froze immediately.

"Of course I'm eating."

Lu Lian replied as a matter of course, and pushed the plate beside him out.

"Do you want to have a couple of bites too?"

"no need."

Emma was stunned by Lu Jian's reasoning for a moment, and then asked.

"How can you still eat, there are already dead people here, maybe there is really some monster in this room, you will be the next to die!"

She looked at every corner of the room worriedly, for fear that some monster would suddenly crawl out of the corner and swallow herself alive.

"If you don't have enough food, you won't have the strength to investigate the case, and we can't leave now."

Stone put the cut steak into his mouth, and pointed to the raging storm outside the restaurant.

"The road down the mountain has been washed away by mudslides, and even the wires and telephones have been cut off. Didn't you realize that there are no lights now, and you can only use candles?"

Reminded by Stone's words, Emma hurriedly looked out the window.

It's night now, and it's pitch black outside the window, only the nearby swaying trees can be seen, and the road further away that was washed away by mudslides has been hidden in the night. She didn't see it with her own eyes, and she still didn't believe it. Came to the telephone in the restaurant, picked up the receiver, and it was not until there was silence on the other side of the phone that Emma finally accepted this fact.

"We really can't get out?"

Emma asked Stone, the initial aggressive aura has disappeared, leaving only weak, pitiful and helpless.

"Don't worry, Ms. Emma, ​​I have an agreement with Sheriff Haller. If I don't contact him regularly, the sheriff will take someone up the mountain. If there is no accident, we can see the respectable and responsible man tomorrow morning." Sheriff is..."

Stone replied that he had finished his meal and was wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

"Really? That would be great."

Emma suddenly felt relieved again, she didn't seem to be as resistant to the arrival of the police as Rum, but would be happy because she was about to be free.

"But it's raining so hard, how did the sheriff and the others come here?"

asked the woman, looking out the window worriedly.

"do not worry."

Stone didn't seem to mind the storm outside the window.

Seeing this, Emma didn't ask any more questions. Since everyone seemed calm, wouldn't it be uneducated if she was anxious like an ant on a hot pot by herself?

She didn't see the corpse with her own eyes, but only heard the servant's announcement, so she was not as distraught as Rum.

Rum glanced at his younger sister, feeling that the family could only rely on himself. The scene of Gothe's corpse just now was unforgettable for him forever. As soon as he closed his eyes, Gao De's belly was hollowed out. De's twisted and hideous expression.

He even saw his stomach being torn apart by that indescribable monster, tearing his stomach open with his yellowed teeth, tearing out his intestines, and devouring them clean.

No, I shouldn't be like this.

Rum felt a little strange about himself.

He was obviously calm when he was dealing with affairs in the company at home, but after seeing Gothe's body, he couldn't calm down, and the whole person fell into agitation, and made many actions that he would not do before .

It's as if I have become an emotional marionette, dominated by fear and timidity, and become less like myself.

At this moment, Rum also felt that someone was whispering in his ear, and the whisper made him feel anxious, and the inner fear gradually dominated his will, making him impulsive and irritable, lacking calm thinking.

"They just want to snatch your property, those things should only belong to you!"

"Look at that detective, he covets your father's inheritance, you must get rid of them as soon as possible!"

"That stupid woman, she will only give money to those little boys, you must drive her out of the house!"

"It would be best for that guy with strong limbs and a simple mind to die. He deserves it, he deserves it the most!"

"You've got to find that thing before the police come, you've got to find that thing before that crazy wretch comes."

These ravings echoed in Rum's ears, and the voice was like his own heart, repeated over and over again, engraved into his mind, as if if he didn't do it, his own spirit would collapse.

This feeling is very strange, but everything seems to be taken for granted.

He can only think that his greedy desires have taken over his rationality.

Rum was afraid of Stone's pistol, and he didn't know what to do now. He couldn't kill them before the police came tomorrow, right?

No no no, what am I thinking?

Rum turned his face away, he felt that he had really become very weird.

"Where's Ms. Lily?"

Stone asked suddenly.

"She doesn't feel well. She is resting in her room and has a maid to take care of her. Don't worry."

said the old housekeeper.

"Master Byron doesn't seem to be able to come anymore. We'd better live in a similar room tonight. We can take care of each other if we have any problems."

Stone said.

"what is the problem?"

Emma didn't react for a moment.

"It was the murderer, Ms. Emma, ​​who killed Mr. Gothe, whether it was a human or a monster, it must still be in this villa. No one can guarantee that he only came to kill Mr. Gothe. According to my speculation , His goal should be the legacy of Taoist Heming, because I found that Mr. Gao De holds books related to Taoist Heming."

Stone showed the Heming pen chat in his hand.

"At least Mr. Gothe didn't just come here to commemorate Mr. Browning. He once sold this house to Mr. Browning as an intermediary. He should also know about Taoist Heming. This time he came to Rainstorm Villa just to share a cup. soup."

"He actually"

Rum looked disbelieving.

Emma, ​​on the other hand, didn't feel much emotion about what Stone said. She was just a little dazed, and a little scared. She sat on the sofa with a wine glass in her hand, and she didn't drink the red wine in the glass.

A few people stayed in the restaurant until the night. Emma couldn't hold on at first. She yawned and was led by the old housekeeper to the next room to rest.

Rum smoked two cigarettes, he hesitated to speak, and finally left the restaurant.

Apart from the servants, there were only three Chosen Ones left.

The storm outside the window was still raging. Stone lit the tobacco leaves in his pipe. He looked deeply out of the window. In the forest reflected by the lightning and thunder, there seemed to be shadows about to move.

"Speaking of which, with the current weather conditions, can the police really come?"

Lu Jian asked curiously in a low voice.

"Of course not."

Stone replied of course.

"I lied to them all."

Blizzard Villa is a term with a specific reference in mystery novels. Usually, traffic and communication are blocked due to snowstorms, and the murderer must be found in a closed environment.

At the same time, there will definitely be a murderer in the classic Blizzard Villa case, and it will be a serial murder case to give the detective a sense of oppression. The murderer must also be a person in the villa rather than an outsider.
