Farewell to the Ancient House

Lu Ai, Lu Tong and Dr. Zhao also rushed to the hall later.Lu Ai's face was pale, with a "how is that possible" expression.But Lu Tong only showed a slight look of surprise, and quickly turned into a relaxed look after a while.

Dr. Zhao is still wearing a mask, and his expression cannot be seen.He sighed and said, "I'll inform Mr. Xia Lu." He wanted to go into the study.

"Wait." Lu Ai stopped Dr. Zhao. "Uncle is dead. We are all suspects. We can't let you go alone. If you are the murderer, my father will be in danger."

And Bai Ting also agreed with Lu Ai's words.In fact, he thought Dr. Zhao was the most suspicious.If the old man really stayed in his room obediently and did not go out, then Dr. Zhao, who has all the keys to the room, is most likely to commit the crime.

Dr. Zhao shook his head helplessly, and went back to the hall.

At this moment, the young mistress supported by Lu Luo seemed to be more emotionally stable.She looked at Lu Tong with a relaxed face, and then at Lu Ai.

"I know who the murderer is." She said softly.

Lu Luo looked at the young mistress in surprise. The young mistress was obviously terrified, her lips were trembling, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's him."

The young mistress pointed her finger at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong's face didn't change at all. He smiled and looked at the young mistress and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not good to frame others casually. How can you prove that I am the murderer?"

The young mistress' tone weakened, and she said hesitantly: "Uncle always wants to kill you, so you just let him..."

As if the young lady's words were very funny, Lu Tong chuckled and said, "It's true that he wants to kill me, and I'm afraid it's true that he will kill me. But if he wanted to kill him, I would have killed him long ago."

"Bai Ting, are you right?" He turned his head and smiled at Bai Ting.

The white collar was noncommittal.

The young lady's face was pale, she clenched her fists tightly, raised her head as if she had made a lot of determination, and said to the others in the living room: "Lu Tong may not have killed my uncle. But there must be something wrong with him. What my uncle said is Yes, he is not normal."

The young mistress bit her lip and pointed at Lu Tong again: "I killed him twice. He didn't die."

Lu Ai's face suddenly changed drastically. He raised his hand and slapped the young lady, and at the same time scolded severely: "You silly woman! Why are you doing stupid things!"

The young lady was obviously wronged, she covered her face and defended: "I'm all for you. It's you who said that the master's will is all written, and half of the company will be given to Lu Tong..."

"Shut up, you!" Lu Ai yelled, reaching out to continue beating the young mistress, but was grabbed by Dr. Zhao's arm.

"Don't do this." He said softly to Lu Ai, and then turned to look at the young mistress, "Miss Liu, Master Lu Tong is indeed not a normal person. He died before Bai came to this mansion."

"How...how could it be?" The young mistress was obviously very shocked, trembling almost to her knees.Also shocked was the white collar.

"Why not?" Lu Luo said with a smile.He cleared his throat, and began to tell the story of the incident in a pretentious manner.

"The morning before yesterday, before Lu Luo came, I took a knife and entered the master's house before Dr. Zhao had finished his breakfast, threatening him to give me half of the family property. I didn't expect that I was threatening Dr. Zhao and Lu Ai. He came in, and when he saw me, he immediately wrestled with me, trying to grab my knife. I don’t know what happened, but when he hit me, the knife slammed into my chest.”

As Lu Tong said, he put a knife in his chest with a relaxed expression.His tone is calm, as if the protagonist of the story is not him.

"Of course I didn't agree, and clamored to call the police. In order to calm my emotions, the master told me that as long as no one else died, I would resurrect myself in a week. In order to stop my mouth, he promised to give me half of the company's money." shares."

"Isn't that right, Lu Ai?"

Lu Tong turned to ask Lu Ai, but Lu Ai remained silent with a livid face.

The young mistress was completely paralyzed on the ground.She murmured: "Impossible. When he hugged me yesterday, when he was close to me today, I could hear his heartbeat"

Lu Tong spread out his hands, made a pitiful look, and said, "That's because you were too nervous and had an illusion."

Lu Luo frowned suddenly.He met Bai Ting's eyes, and mouthed two words: "No."

Dr. Zhao helped the young mistress to sit on the sofa.The young mistress looked delirious, as if she hadn't recovered from the shocking facts.

Dr. Zhao poured the young lady a glass of water, and said to the others in the living room, "Did any of you see or hear anything last night?"

Bai Ting just wanted to talk about the loud noise he heard at night.Before he could speak, he heard Lu Tong say, "I saw the murderer."

"What?" Lu Ai asked.

"I saw the murderer." Lu Tong repeated. "I stay in the study every night until very late before going back. When I went back yesterday, I happened to see a man moving a box of things into the hall, so I hid under the stairs and waited for him to finish moving before returning to the room. Now I want to I think he might be moving a corpse. That person is wearing black clothes and a white mask. Bai Jie has seen that person before." He turned to look at Bai Jie, as if asking for his approval.

"Wait, you're in the study?" Lu Luo asked, "Bai Ting and I were in the study all night last night and didn't see you."

"Silly brother, did you forget that the study has a second floor?" Lu Luo smiled and pointed to the second-floor platform in the hall, where there is a door leading to the study, "I was here last night." With an aggrieved expression, he squeezed his throat and said, "Bai Ting, do you really bother me? Why don't you let me apply for A University..."

"Stop it!" Lu Luo roared angrily.Seeing that Lu Luo was shaking with anger, Bai Ting hurriedly pulled him to his side and patted him on the back reassuringly.

Lu Luo gradually calmed down. He collected himself and said to the people in the hall, "I want to check everyone's pulse again."

No one in the hall spoke, acquiesced.Lu Tong smiled and stretched out his arms in front of Lu Luo.Bai Jie could see that Lu Luo was resisting the urge to slap his hand aside, he pressed his fingers on Lu Tong's wrist, and shook his head, indicating no.

Then Lu Luo walked to the side of the young mistress, and the young mistress became a little more emotionally stable.Lu Luo tested it, and it was there.

Then he walked to Lu Ai's side again, and Lu Ai stretched out his hand for him to press.Lu Luo's fingers stayed on Lu Ai's wrist for a long time.After a while, he gently asked Lu Ai: "Brother, can I touch your carotid artery?"

Lu Ai's expression was a little impatient, but he still let him touch it honestly.

Lu Luo touched Lu Ai's neck for a while, and then offered to touch his chest.

"What do you mean?" Lu Ai looked at Lu Luo impatiently, "It's endless, right?"

"Brother," Lu Luo said cautiously, "I felt the pulse and carotid artery in your hand, and I didn't feel any beating."

"You seem to be dead."

Hearing this, Lu Ai jumped up from the sofa instantly.His eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief.

Bai Jing didn't like it, so he quickly brought Lu Luo back.

"Impossible." Lu Ai said to himself, "Impossible!" He fumbled with his hands on his chest and neck.After confirming that he really had no heartbeat, his expression changed instantly.

"I'm dead! Why didn't I know!!" Lu Ai roared. "Who did it? Who did it!"

He scanned everyone in the living room angrily.But you can't get results from anyone's look.

Lu Ai waved his hands frantically, as if trying to catch the murderer from the air.At this time, the young lady made a whimpering sound, and he immediately grabbed the young lady sitting on the sofa by her collar: "Is it you? Is it you! I know you bitch. You hate me! Be happy!"

The young mistress was terrified and shrank back on the sofa.

Lu Tong wanted to stop him, but he punched him aside.

At this time, Lu Ai seemed to think of something, and let go of the collar of the young mistress. "I should have thought of it earlier, it was you," Lu Ai said, turning to Dr. Zhao.He sneered, and picked up a chair casually: "It was you who killed me. You couldn't hide it from me. If I had known this, I should have put you..."

Lu Ai swung the chair and threw it at Doctor Zhao. Just as he was about to hit the doctor, Lu Tong jumped on Lu Ai in time and locked Lu Ai's hands.Dr. Zhao took the opportunity to snatch the chair away.

"White collar! Lu Luo!" Lu Tong shouted, "Get the rope quickly!"

Lu Ai was like a wild beast with terrifying strength. He roared and struggled hard.The four men worked together to tie Lu Ai.Lu Ai, who was restrained, still stared fiercely at Dr. Zhao, cursing continuously.

"Shut him up in his room," said Dr. Zhao.

Lu Tong and Bai Ting pushed Lu Ai into his room.Because of the rain leak, the whole room was drenched, and it must be uncomfortable to stay there.But the two didn't care that much, Lu Ai is too dangerous now.

Lu Tong took out the key from Lu Ai's pocket and locked the door behind him.The two returned to the hall.

"What about Mr. Lu Mingzhang's body?" Dr. Zhao asked, "I'll carry him to the backyard."

Lu Tong pondered for a while, then said: "Let's throw it out. Put it in the backyard, it will definitely stink after a week. No one can stand it."

Several people remained silent and left the hall one after another.Bai Ling and Lu Luo walked into the kitchen.Lu Luo asked Dr. Zhao and the young mistress if they wanted breakfast. Dr. Zhao shook his head and said that it would be good to prepare only the master's, while the young mistress looked gloomy and said nothing.In such a bad situation, it is estimated that other people do not want or dare to eat the meal cooked by the two of them.

Crack the eggs into the pan.He was not feeling well, just got the old man's real name from Dr. Zhao, but it was after he had died.Bai Ting had seen the name Ming Zhang in that diary.He was the one who helped Lu Jingchun throw the corpse out of the door after the zombie incident 50 years ago.He should be the cousin who survived by hiding in the warehouse.He is the only family member Lu Jingchun has kept by his side in the past 50 years.

He escaped the disaster 50 years ago, but he did not escape the massacre 50 years later.

But now, the white collar is in a very difficult situation.

Yesterday, he thought he was the only dead person in this family.As long as he endured these few days honestly, he would be resurrected as a normal human being with a heartbeat and blood.However, today, two more dead people suddenly appeared in the family.One of them didn't know that he had already died, and the other had been dead for a long time, but he hid the fact with a playful smile.

And in this mansion, I don't know if there are more dead people lurking in the corners.Look at the right time, wait for the opportunity, and seize this only chance of survival.

The premise for Bai Ling to live is that the corpses of the other dead are not complete.

The old man's body was cut into several pieces. He didn't enter the arena of this survival game, so he was eliminated directly.

As for Lu Ai and Lu Tong, the two of them have to be separated like old people. Only after their limbs are amputated can the white collar be successfully revived.

Who will take an ax and cut off their bodies?me?

Bai Ling fought a cold war.

The eggs in the pot had a burnt smell.Bai Ling came back to his senses and hurriedly turned the eggs over.

He felt a soft hand on the arm holding the spatula.

"Bai Ling, don't worry," Lu Luo whispered, "You will get out alive."

Bai Ling turned off the fire and put his hand on Lu Luo's.Slowly stroking the back of Lu Luo's hand, he said softly, "No way, just let nature take its course."

Lu Luo didn't answer, but clenched Bai Ling's wrist even tighter.He lowered his eyes, approached the white collar, and slowly rubbed his head against the white collar's neck, like a small animal seeking comfort.

"You are not allowed to say anything and let it take its course." Lu Luo murmured. "Bai Ling, you'll be fine."

"I'll be fine." Bai Ting patted Lu Luo's head.

"Say it again." Lu Luo said awkwardly.

"I'll be fine." Bai Ting smiled. "After we leave here, let's go to the entrance of the Tenth Middle School to eat rice noodles. We want the super-spicy ones. Then we go to the ice cream shop in the shopping mall to eat ice cream hot pot. Eat a 500 yuan one to celebrate the rest of our lives."

Lu Luo smiled, raised his head and looked at the white collar: "Then you'd better not live. Anyway, you will die from diarrhea afterwards."

Lu Luo's gaze was full of water, and his heart fluttered a little.

Why don't you just confess now, if you really accidentally die, you won't have a chance.Bai Jing thought.

He was about to say something, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Tong striding into the kitchen.

Really knows how to choose the time, Bai Ting cursed in his heart, and gave Lu Luo a wink, and the two separated immediately.

"Great, both of you are here!" Seeing Bai Jie and Lu Luo, Lu Tong said with a smile, "Is making breakfast? Can you help me make one too?"

Lu Luo looked at Lu Tong: "You are dead, why do you still need to eat?"

Lu Tong smiled and said, "Isn't this boring? Eat something to pass the time." He pointed at Bai Jie again: "You see, Bai Jie also eats, why don't you talk about him?"

No matter when Lu Tong behaved like this, he didn't care.Bai Ting looked at Lu Tong, and suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to ask him something, although he didn't expect him to answer honestly.

After the old man's incident, Bai Ling deeply understood a truth: If you have a question to ask someone, you should ask it quickly, otherwise the person will die tomorrow.

"Ms. Lu, can I ask you something?" Bai Ting said again and again, putting eggs on the bread slices.

"Ask, ask." Lu Tong stared at the movements of Bai Ting's hands, and said, "But only one question is allowed."

Bai Ting thought for a while, although Lu Tong kept smiling, Bai Ting didn't know anything about him and his father.He thought about it, thought of the masked man, and thought of the contents of the diary he read yesterday.Decided to ask the most direct question: "Mr. Lu, where is your father—Master Lu's second brother?"

"My dad?" Lu Tong answered absent-mindedly, "He died a long time ago. When I went to school, the electric blanket at home short-circuited and caught fire, and he died. City Cemetery. It’s about 900 kilometers away from here.”

He looked at the white collar: "What are you asking my dad for?"

Bai Ting said: "Nothing, nothing. Just curiosity."

From Lu Tong's words, Bai Jie felt that Lu Tong did not understand the grievances between his father and Lu Jingchun.But he wasn't sure.Because what Lu Tong said always concealed too much.This person may not be as foolish as he appears on the outside, and he doesn't know what is good or bad.He may know other facts, or have other purposes.

Lu Tong died at the beginning.With the promise of half of Lu Jingchun's property, he should be eager to live.However, seeing the death of the white collar, he did not waver at all.He even rescued Bai Ling when he was being hunted down by the masked man.

Thinking about it, Bai Ting gave the finished sandwich to Lu Tong.Watching Lu Tong open the bread and squeeze some salad dressing on it, Bai Ting couldn't help his doubts and asked, "Mr. Lu, did you really never think about killing me?"

Lu Tong grinned.His expression for no reason reminded Bai Ting of Lu Luo's smile in that nightmare last night, and he couldn't help but shiver in his heart.

"White collar," Lu Tong said softly, covered the vegetables with bread, picked up the sandwich and put it in his mouth.

"This is already the second question."

=================================================================== ==========================

July 32, XXX6

Today is my brother's birthday.

The second brother was admitted to the medical school he wanted to go to, and it happened to be his birthday, so it was worth celebrating.

I started preparing for it half a year ago.I plan to make a pocket watch by myself and give it to my second brother.There are accessories in my father's factory that can be used, but I don't want to use them.I want to make every gear and every screw in this watch by myself.I also want to engrave a word of blessing on the inside of the watch.Is my life's blessing.

I did it for half a year with a domestic machine tool in the warehouse, but it still didn't work.I have tried my best for the accuracy of the gears, but it is still not accurate, which leads to the inaccuracy of the entire watch.I also made the pallet fork too big, and the friction is very strong. Every time it moves, the whole watch moves with it, and it makes a lot of noise when it is placed on the table.Because the pallet fork is not well made, the energy cannot be well retained. This watch needs to be wound every few hours.Really annoying watch.

However, I don't have time to buy a new gift for my second brother, so I can only bite the bullet and give it to him.When my second brother opened the gift, I made up a set of excuses to deceive him, saying that this is a German heartbeat watch, and the elapsed time is connected to the human heartbeat, and it can still beat like the heart.It is very difficult to buy, and only those who make watches and clocks like ours can buy them.

The second brother looked very happy when he saw the watch, and asked me if I made it myself.It seems that he didn't listen to a word of what I just said.I can only admit with shame that it was my own failure.

I've always wanted a pocket watch.said the second brother.You actually made one for me yourself, you are so good, it must have taken a long time.I have to wear it every day.

You don't wear it.I'm embarrassed to say that this watch is inaccurate, noisy and has to be wound all the time.I'll buy another good one for you.

The second brother opened the watch cover and saw the words I engraved for him, his expression became more gentle.

don't say that.The second brother said, didn't you say this is a heartbeat watch?I carry it and it dances like you're by my side.This way no matter how far away I am from you, I feel like you are here.

The second brother pointed to his chest.

I nodded, feeling a little like crying.

The second brother patted my head.
