Yunding Ranch

Chapter 326
"Crack", that tiny sound came over, if it was outdoors during the day, it might not be heard at all, but in the underground warehouse, and it was still in the early hours of the morning, any sound was amplified, even the air became Get sensitive.

Just as Lu Li was about to leave, he stopped. He turned around and looked around. The empty warehouse was clear at a glance. There were no corners to hide in, and no moving objects could be seen at all.The quiet air slowly spread among the shelves, and one could even hear the shaking of Lu Li's open door upstairs, which further highlighted the quietness of the basement.

Standing in place and waiting for a while, about ten seconds, when there was no movement, Lu Li couldn't help laughing. It was just a little trivial sound, and he was fussed.

Maybe, he heard it wrong. When he came down just now, he didn't close the door. It was probably just the sound of wind rubbing against each other; even if it wasn't, it might be a mouse.In an environment like a ranch, it is really normal for some insects, mice and other pests to visit.

Just as Lu Li was about to turn around and leave, the sound of "cha" came again. It was slight and slender, like the sound of soles rubbing against the sand, or the sound of mice rubbing against the wall, but it was only a short sound. Then it disappeared again.

Is there really someone?

After the idea popped up, he couldn't stop it. Lu Li thought about it seriously. Could it be that the two thieves really came here?Not in the wine cellar, but in an underground warehouse?Then they have been hiding here, looking for opportunities to escape the hunt?

The dramatic plot of this kind of TV series suddenly happened in a ranch that is uncontested with the world, which is really inconsistent, and even makes people dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, Lu Li denied his guess.They've been partying tonight, no one is too vigilant at all, even if two thieves pass by the ranch, their best choice is to leave immediately, no one will see anyway; instead of staying here, quietly Waiting for others to find out.

What's more, the two thieves could come up with such a special way of stealing, and they are still members of the detective club. Even if they really hid here, how could they forget to turn off the lights?Such a low-level mistake sounds too incredible.

He stood there for a while, this time, Lu Li didn't jump to conclusions, and stood there for two to three minutes.There was no sound at all, but there were several collisions from the open door upstairs, and the strong wind was blowing at night, announcing its presence.The chilly temperature in the underground warehouse strongly declared his presence, making Lu Li shudder several times.

Sure enough, his brain has been wide open recently, and his thoughts are too active. After hearing about the treasure hunt game tonight, his imagination can't stop.

Lu Li didn't think about it anymore, turned around, walked away, left the basement, and locked the warehouse door, but when he was about to lock it, he saw some light from the corner of his vision, and Lu Li couldn't help but patted his head. ——I came here just to turn off the lights, but the lights were not turned off, so I was about to leave.

Open the door again, pull down the switch, the entire basement is plunged into darkness, and the cold moonlight falls in the wanton wind.

"No no no."

A dull and trivial sound came over, and Lu Li froze in place. This time, it was no longer a friction sound, but a faltering sound. He could hear it very clearly. This was not a hallucination, nor was it a random guess. .

After thinking about it, Lu Li deliberately closed the warehouse door heavily, pretending that nothing happened, and then stuck it on the warehouse door, trying to catch the sound inside, but it was not an easy task. I can't hear you anymore.

Lu Li carefully opened the warehouse door, and then he could hear low, trivial voices inside, intermittent and indistinct, unable to recognize the specific words at all, only able to catch some dull sounds, in the end Whether it was the sound of wind, human voice, or mouse sound, it was hard to figure out.

Thief.

This was the first thought in Lu Li's mind.He knew that his brain was a bit big, but at this moment, the most reasonable explanation was a thief.Leaving aside those logical explanations, just connecting the clues tonight, in the current situation, the thief is the biggest possibility.

So what should he do?
Lu Li's mind started working quickly, so calling the police was naturally his first choice.But if it's not a thief, it doesn't seem good to let the police go for nothing. What's more, he has no conclusive evidence, just some vague voices.

Otherwise, lock the warehouse door and let them stay there overnight and come and check tomorrow morning to see if it's a thief?
This is a good way, without any effort, you can catch the turtle once and for all!
But what if they were really thieves, and when they found out that they couldn't get out, they smashed the jars and destroyed all the equipment and vegetables in the warehouse?These are second to none, the key point is the cheese, which is the cheese that Lu Huaijin misses so much, those memories are hard to return.He could care less about the warehouse itself, but not the cheese.

After thinking for a while, Lu Li closed the warehouse door again and locked it.Quickly walked back to the main house.

Standing on the porch of the main house, I looked at the two-story villa opposite. Cole and the others were there. As long as they shouted, the entire ranch was mobilized, and it was not difficult to catch two thieves.

But everyone drank more tonight, but Lu Li drank the least - because he had been cooking, and when he came out, everyone was almost drunk. Later, Lu Li was given some wine, but he couldn't drink. drunk.

Walking back to the main house, Lu Li took out the rifle from the storage room.This is not Lu Li's own gun, but Cole's.Lu Li was able to buy a gun now, but he had been running around for the past two months and never remembered it. However, the ranch did not lack self-defense equipment.

After loading the bullets, Lu Li put another box of bullets in his coat pocket—it was just two thieves, but Lu Li was already fully prepared.

After getting ready, Lu Li walked out through the back door, striding towards the warehouse.Before taking a few steps, Teddy followed. Lu Li patted Teddy's head, "Good man, I have business to do, so don't follow me."

But Teddy just clung to Lu Li's calf and remained indifferent, which made Lu Li burst out laughing.Thinking about it carefully, Teddy is also very good to follow, this can be regarded as "rush hour", cross-racial cooperation.

Coming to the warehouse door again, he opened the lock with the key, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the warehouse door.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li wasn't scared at all, but rather excited.I don't know if it's alcohol, but he looks very excited, his blood is flowing fast and hot; but at the same time he is very calm, his brain is extremely clear, and his movements are extremely cautious, without any recklessness or impulsiveness.

After opening the warehouse door, there was no special sound inside. Lu Li carefully identified it, and seemed to have fallen into silence again.But Lu Li wasn't sure if it was his illusion. He always felt that the darkness below seemed not so pure, as if...as if someone lit a cigarette, or used the flame of a lighter to dispel the darkness.

However, he was standing at the top of the stairs on the ground, and he hadn't walked down yet, so he couldn't recognize it.

Lu Li turned on the switch again, the lights in the basement and stairs fell down, and the darkness disappeared again like an ebb tide. Teddy ran down immediately, and the crackling sound when his footsteps touched the stairs bit by bit tore through the air. Quiet, the light spreads like the faint ripples left by the Titanic gliding across the sea.

"Teddy."

Lu Li raised his voice and walked down the stairs at the same time. Then he saw Teddy running towards the cheese room, sniffing around. Before Lu Li could stand still, Teddy started to get angry yelled loudly, "Wow, woof, woof!"

"Teddy." Lu Li confirmed that there must be someone in the underground warehouse.

Teddy was a peaceful old companion, and Teddy had never yelled so viciously with all the guests coming and going at the ranch.This reminded Lu Li of what Cole said when he first met Teddy, that animals can smell everyone's emotions, both positive and negative.

It seems that the mood in the cheese room is either fear or violence.

Teddy looked back at Lu Li, his eyes signaled Lu Li to hurry up, and then howled fiercely, "Wow!"

Lu Li raised his voice and shouted, "Who's in there! Please come out now!" Lu Li warned, "No matter who it is, you must come out now, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! This is Texas, I believe you should come out now!" Know how the people of Texas deal with the invaders!"

In the United States, there is such a law: for illegal intrusion into private land, the owner of the land has the right to expel them, and if necessary, it is allowed to use drastic means.Including firearms.

Lu Li yelled "Teddy" to calm Teddy down, and then he pulled the safety valve of the rifle in his hand. The clear and dull sound echoed in the empty space of the basement, sending out a sinister warning.

However, what was waiting for Lu Li was a complete silence, he couldn't even feel the sound of breathing, as if no one was there at all.Except Lu Li and Teddy.

But Lu Li became more and more sure, looked at Teddy, and then raised his voice and shouted, "I count down to three seconds. Then, I will take drastic measures. Three!"

"Wow, woof, woof!" Teddy was very cooperative, and roared angrily towards the cheese room. The fierce shouts were rampant in the warehouse, constantly hitting and echoing, and the whole atmosphere became gloomy and serious.

"Two!" Lu Li's voice was firm and forceful. He raised his gun and pointed the muzzle at the door. He narrowed his eyes and began to look for the aiming state when he was on the shooting range. Teddy also stood up, covered in hair. They all stood upright and entered the fighting state. Then, Lu Li was ready to end the countdown.
