blind circle

A "bang" broke the silence, and the dumb servant who ran quickly from downstairs saw the scene in front of him, and the kettle slipped from his hand in an instant, and the water in the kettle splashed in all directions.

The dumb servant fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop", a tear fell from his dull and terrified eyes.

"Miss Lisa, should I call the police?" the old housekeeper asked tentatively.

Lisa wiped the tears off her cheeks with her hand, and nodded silently.

Shu Xin swallowed his saliva, and cast a look of "what to do" at Ji Liang, Ji Liang closed his eyes slightly, shook his head slightly, and signaled him not to act rashly.

No matter what you do right now, you will easily expose your identity, so it is better to wait and see what happens, and see what the hell these people are doing!

"Zhan used to say that this house was haunted, and that Montgomery came to him with a knife to avenge him!" Lisa said while sobbing, her five fingers covered her lips, and the diamond ring on her ring finger gleamed under the light.

"I persuaded him to move and live in the New York City area, but he insisted on refusing," Lisa's voice was crying, and she began to cry softly again.

At this time, a thunderstorm sounded deafeningly, as if it was about to shatter the entire castle. The bust of Montgomery hanging on the wall smiled strangely when the lightning flashed by.

"Wait!" Li Shengfeng strode towards Zhan Yinglian's bedroom, "I never believe in ghosts and gods, Zhan Yinglian was obviously murdered, the murderer must still be among us!"

Li Shengfeng took out a white handkerchief from his trouser pocket, grabbed the dagger stuck in Zhan Yinglian's body, and pulled it out abruptly!

This action surprised Lisa, "What are you doing!"

Li Shengfeng held the dagger in front of his eyes and took a closer look, "There are Chinese characters engraved on this dagger!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Ji Liang, Shu Xin and Shunzi.

Oops!Ji Liang thought to himself, it must be a deliberate trap set by them!

"But, I just saw Shu Xin and Mr. Xie go outside the castle with my own eyes." Lisa frowned and said suddenly, "It must be this gentleman!"

Lisa pointed at Shunzi with an angry tone, "My fiancé has no grievances with you, why did you assassinate him!"

Shunzi was stunned, wronged and aggrieved, he raised his hands above his head, "It's not me, I just took a shower in my room, Mira can testify for me!"

Mira glared at Lisa with contemptuous eyes, and nodded firmly, "Indeed, I can testify for him!"

Lisa sneered, and pressed Shunzi and Mira step by step, "You two are an unmarried couple, of course you will collude to make a confession in advance." Lisa grabbed Shunzi's right hand and rolled up his shirt sleeve, "Everyone Look! There are scars on his hands!"

There were indeed two scars of different depths on Shunzi's right hand. The wounds were slightly turned outwards, and blood stains were still oozing out. It was obvious that they had just been injured and there was no time to treat the wounds.

Shunzi let out a pain, and slammed Lisa's hand away, "I accidentally fell and got scratched when I went to the bathroom just now."

"What a poor excuse!" Lisa's eyes pressed against Shunzi's dodging eyes, "there are no sharp corners in the bathroom, may I ask where did you get scratched?"

At this time, Shu Xin stood up, he wrote on the phone, and handed it to Li Shengfeng, "Can you let me see the corpse?"

Li Shengfeng looked at Shu Xin with puzzled eyes, and nodded slightly.

Shu Xin approached Zhan Yinglian's body, then took off his suit jacket, lifted Zhan Yinglian who was lying on the desk, and straightened his body.

I saw that Zhan Yinglian's eyes were slightly closed, his mouth was still open, and there was still coffee foam hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Shu Xin sniffed it carefully. Apart from the coffee aroma left in his mouth, there was also a special taste.

His eyes quickly moved to Zhan Yinglian's ears, only to see that his earlobe was slightly red, and the color of his fingernails was also cherry red.

Everyone cast puzzled looks at Shu Xin. Shu Xin resumed the posture that Zhan Yinglian had maintained before his death, and gently put the suit in his hand on the desk.

"Mr. Zhan drank a cup of coffee before he died?" Shu Xin took out his mobile phone and wrote.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, at this moment the dumb servant faltered and made a vague sound, pointing at himself.

"Where's the coffee?" Shu Xin used sign language to communicate with the dumb servant.

"After Mr. finished drinking, I took the cup to wash." The dumb servant replied.

This is broken!Shu Xin thought that the only evidence had been destroyed. According to his speculation, Zhan Yinglian was not killed by a dagger at all, but was poisoned by cyanide. Give clear evidence.

This time Shunzi jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clean it up!

Lisa pointed at Shunzi and shouted loudly: "There's nothing to say, tie up this murderer first!"

"How dare you?!" Mira roared angrily, standing in front of Shunzi.

"Miss Lisa Montgomery, maybe others don't know who you are, but don't try to get away with me!" Mira grabbed Lisa's hand firmly, her eyes were aggressive, "You are Montgomery's adopted daughter, but you were adopted by her in the early years. Sent to a boarding school for nuns in the UK, and later graduated from the Harvard School of Economics and Management," Mira pointed her finger at Lisa and Li Shengfeng: "What tricks are you playing!"

"Aren't you Montgomery's cousin?" Mira shifted her gaze to Li Shengfeng, "Don't you know your cousin's adopted daughter?"

"Also, even if Montgomery has been sentenced to death, this house should belong to Lisa. Why did it fall into your hands, Mr. Tom?"

Li Shengfeng spread his hands and said innocently: "I didn't know that my cousin had an adopted daughter. It is a fact that he has no children in his life."

At this time, the old butler ran up from downstairs in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Fair...Mr. Fair is dead!"

These words hit everyone present like a bomb that exploded in an instant, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Shu Xin and Ji Liang wanted to exchange eyes, and Ji Liang said to the housekeeper, "Speak clearly."

The butler gasped and said word by word: "Before the last servant on the island left, he was patrolling around as usual, and found Fair's body under the cliff."

"How did you die?" Ji Liang quickly asked.

The old butler: "I was shot in the head by a robbery."

Lisa chuckled lightly, and raised her noble chin: "Miss Mira, I remembered that you went out just now, what did you do?"

Mila grabbed Lisa's hair fiercely with her hands, her eyes were like a ferocious beast, "It's not your turn to question me about what I did, bitch!"

Lisa gritted her teeth tightly, and finally took off her graceful and noble mask, like a poisonous snake spitting out a snake letter, "You lowly slut, it was you who killed Phil! I saw Phil once A huge insurance policy, the beneficiary fills in your name!"

Lisa shook off Mira's hand with her arm, and instantly took out a lipstick from her pocket and aimed it at Mira's forehead, "Does your fiancé know that you are a bitch?"

Shu Xin saw through the glasses that what Lisa was holding was a camouflaged lipstick gun!

Mila glanced at the lipstick gun in Lisa's hand with contemptuous eyes, and let out a disdainful laugh, "I want to scare me with a toy!"

Instantly, Mira flipped her left hand, and with her right hand drew a soft sword from the snake-shaped bracelet and slashed at Lisa's arm.

Blood dripped down the blade of the sword, the gun in Lisa's hand fell, and the cuff of the rose red dress was cut and hung on her arm.

"Don't move!" The butler shouted angrily, pointing the gun in his hand at Mira.

"Wow!" Li Shengfeng clapped his hands and shouted, looking at the soft sword in Mira's hand in admiration, "Toledo, Spain, made an identical one in the 19th century, it is really a rare treasure!"

"But..." Li Shengfeng looked Mira up and down with great interest, "How do you have such a rare weapon?"

Shu Xin gasped. Mira's identity might not be concealed. If they really fight now, there should be a chance of winning.

He slowly lifted the briefcase in his hand, ready to take out the pistol/gun inside at any time.

However, Ji Liang at the side quickly stopped Shu Xin's behavior, and he pressed Shu Xin's slightly raised hand.

"Thank God, Shu Xin, it's better than this," Li Shengfeng looked at the two of them, "For everyone's safety, it's better to lock Miss Mira and this gentleman in the basement first, and the truth will naturally surface when the police arrive."

"But according to Mr. Tom's orders." Ji Liang bowed and agreed to Li Shengfeng's proposal.

Under the gunpoint of the housekeeper, Shunzi and Mira were tied up and taken to the basement. Before leaving, Mira spat at Lisa.

"Shu, I have a headache, go ahead and take a rest." Li Shengfeng said to Shu Xin and Ji Liang, "It's best for you to stay in the room, it's raining heavily outside, and the sea route is difficult, so the police probably won't come so soon. "

Before leaving, Li Shengfeng specifically warned, "Remember to lock the door!"

"Okay, Mr. Tom." Ji Liang smiled, and Jier took Shu Xin's hand into his room, and locked the door behind him.

"You see what this is?"

After closing the door, Ji Liang took out a brooch from his pocket and handed it to Shu Xin, making quick gestures.

"Is it Shunzi's brooch?!" Shu Xin's eyes widened. When he was dancing with Shunzi, he remembered that this brooch was pinned to Shunzi's chest.

"Where did you find it?"

"In Zhan Yinglian's bedroom." Ji Liang had discovered the brooch dropped in Zhan Yinglian's room a long time ago. He kept stepping on the brooch on the bottom of his feet and picked it up when Mira and Lisa were in chaos. up it.

"Could it be that Shunzi really killed Zhan Yinglian?" Shu Xin couldn't believe this fact. Although he didn't have much contact with Zhan Yinglian, Shu Xin could feel that Zhan Yinglian treated him differently from others, and he also passed on the truth. Important message.

Ji Liang shook his head, "I don't know, since I came to the United States, I haven't contacted Shunzi again. I don't know what his real purpose is this time."

"What should we do now?" Shu Xin looked at Ji Liang worriedly, "Do you think the police will really come?"

Ji Liang narrowed his eyes and looked out the window, "You can't rely on the police, I'm afraid they will point all the evidence against Shunzi before the police come, and Shunzi will really be speechless."

At this moment, the sound of iron chains being locked came from outside the door.

"Who?" Ji Liang asked through the door.

"Mr. Xie, for everyone's safety, the doors of you and Mr. Tom are locked, and they will be opened for you when the police come." The voice of the old butler came from outside the door, "I'm offended."

Ji Liang took a deep breath and gestured to Shu Xin, "I can't wait any longer, I must go out now, find the boat that Zhan Yinglian mentioned, and leave this place as soon as possible!"
