Farewell to the Ancient House

When the two came to the door of the young lady's room, Bai Ting was still a little shocked.

"You didn't make a mistake, did you?" Bai Ting asked, "Young Mistress killed her husband? Wasn't it always Lu Tong who she wanted to kill? Why did she become Lu Ai again? Is it because she found out that Lu Ai was having an affair? Love killing?"

"Don't guess." Lu Luo shook his head. "I also imagined it, and I need to confirm it with the young lady. Maybe she didn't understand what was going on."

"I didn't understand either." Bai Ting looked at Lu Luo with a confused face. "what happened?"

"You'll understand in a while." Lu Luo smiled and knocked on the door of Young Mistress's room.

The young lady opened the door for the two of them.

Her complexion is still not good, but her expression and eyes are calmer than yesterday and this morning.Lu Luo looked at the young mistress cautiously, and asked, "Sister-in-law, can we go in and sit for a while?"

The young lady smiled slightly: "Are you still searching?" She turned sideways and let the two into the room: "Please come in, but I still don't have anything to see here."

The young mistress asked the two to sit on the sofa in the room, and she moved the chair to sit opposite the two.

"Sister-in-law, can I ask you something?" Lu Luo asked carefully.

"Ask." The young lady folded her hands on her lap and looked at Lu Luo and replied.

"Sister-in-law, did you ask Dr. Zhao for a needle recently?" Lu Luo asked.

"Yes." The young lady replied bluntly. "I wanted to do handwork, so I asked him for a syringe of glue."

"Can I see what you made?" Lu Luo continued to ask.

As if the young lady had expected it, she took down a brass bird that was on the shelf.The bird is exquisitely crafted with colorful rhinestones covering its wings and eyes.She said: "Originally, these decorations should be inlaid, but I am too stupid, so I can only use glue to paste."

Lu Luo looked at this exquisite handicraft and said, "The wings are so exquisitely made, they should have been carefully pasted in the room with the door closed."

The young lady smiled and said, "Not really. The glue smells too strong. I spread a blanket and made it by the pond in the backyard. When I relaxed at the end, I accidentally threw the syringe into the pond." .”

Bai Ting took a look at Lu Luo, thinking that this young lady would really know how to answer, without leaking anything.

Lu Luo was obviously unmoved, he simply took out the syringe and put it in front of the young mistress: "Is this the syringe?"

"Probably so." The young lady took a look and said, "The syringes are all the same in the world, so I can't tell the difference."

Lu Luo looked at the young mistress and said, "This syringe was picked up by the white collar in the pond. It must be the one you lost. But we didn't see any glue residue in it. It's just a blank. The needle tube. Sister-in-law, can you explain it?"

The young lady's expression seemed a little cramped for a moment, but she immediately changed into a normal expression and said, "It may be that the water in the pond has entered and washed away the glue."

"Sister-in-law," Lu Luo paused, and said, "You were a nurse before, so you should also know that the needle tube is well sealed, and if you put it in water, the water won't get in."

The smile on the young lady's face gradually disappeared.She stared at Lu Luo: "I don't quite understand. Do you suspect who I killed?"

"Sister-in-law," Lu Luo said softly, "I guessed something, don't blame me if I'm wrong."

"The night before yesterday, did you put some sleeping pills in Lu Tong's soup, and then wanted to inject a few needles of air into his veins with a needle while he was asleep? If a gas embolism forms, he will definitely die."

The young lady looked at Lu Luo, shook her head, and nodded again: "I was right in thinking so. But it didn't work. Lu Tong died a long time ago, and no amount of air injections will work. You know it."

Lu Luo nodded and said: "It should be like this. But if what you said is true, if you go to kill Lu Tong, Lu Tong has already died, which means that you did not kill anyone at all, and you have no crimes. Then you directly Just tell the truth, we all know that you have tried to kill Lu Tong, so why did you just make up a manual to deceive us?"

The young mistress had a bad complexion at first, but now she became even paler.She looked straight at Lu Luo, pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.

Lu Luo leaned forward slightly, also stared into the eyes of the young mistress, and said, "Unless you realized it a long time ago."

"Your body that was injected with a few needles of air the night before yesterday does not belong to Lu Tong, but to my brother, Lu Ai."

The young mistress slowly closed her eyes.She lowered her head, then raised it again in an instant: "That's right."

"I killed Lu Ai." She said sadly, "I didn't think that he didn't fix the leak in his house, but chose to change rooms with Lu Tong. Lu Tong and Lu Ai looked alike, and I was nervous, so I hurriedly used the I took a few injections with a flashlight in the arm and left. I didn't expect to kill him."

"Sister-in-law," Lu Luo asked softly, "Why did you have to kill Lu Tong?"

The young lady lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Lu Ai said that Lu Tong can get half of the property, I can't just watch Lu Ai's interests suffer."

"Just for this reason?" Lu Luo expressed doubts.

"Isn't this reason enough?" The young lady raised her eyes and looked at Lu Luo.

Lu Luo hesitated and said: "I am my father's biological son, my brother's brother, and I am much closer than Lu Tong, a nephew. If it is really a fight for family property, why must he be killed instead of me?"

The young mistress looked at Lu Luo in a daze.When she was young, she put her hands on her cheeks, covered her eyes and wept softly.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Lu Tong asked again, "How did you get the key to Lu Tong's room?"

The young mistress broke down in sobs, shaking her head while crying.

"I can't say it," the young lady sobbed, "I can't say it. If I say it, I will die."

Lu Luo and Bai Ling glanced at each other, feeling more and more confused.

Lu Luo sighed, patted the young mistress on the back lightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything." He pointed to the white collar with his finger, and then pointed to himself: "Sister-in-law, if you feel scared, come and talk to us." Together. Three is always safer."

The two stood up to say goodbye.Bai Ting suddenly remembered something, he turned around and asked the young lady: "Did you release Lu Ai from the room yesterday?"

The young mistress nodded with tears in her eyes, then lowered her head, and said, "If I let him go, he might still live. If he stays in the room all the time, he will definitely die."

"Lu Luo, classmate Bai." The young lady paused and said in a low voice, "There is a dead person in this room, a dead person that no one knows. He is waiting in the dark to kill everyone. Be careful .”

She looked up at Lu Luo and Bai Ling, big drops of tears fell from her eyes, and her eyeliner traced black marks on her face along with the tears.

"I can't say any more. I don't want to die." The young lady murmured.

The two left the young mistress' room feeling very uncomfortable.

"Who do you think the dead person my sister-in-law mentioned?" Lu Luo asked in a low voice.

Bai Jing shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.But he already vaguely had a candidate in his heart.No one in a room will suspect anyone who can enter and exit all rooms at will.

Lu Luo thought for a while and said, "I have something to ask Lu Tong for confirmation. I'll go find him."

Bai Ting said: "Then I will go with you."

It's rare, Lu Luo shook his head: "This is a private matter between me and him. You don't have to come here."

Bai Ting didn't expect that Lu Luo would reject him, so he said angrily, "Alright then, I'll go for a stroll in the backyard first."

Seeing the white collar, Lu Luo patted his face with a smile: "We'll finish talking in a while, come and find me when the time comes." After saying that, he walked towards the study.

Bai Ting watched Lu Luo's back enter the study, and then walked slowly towards the backyard.

In fact, in this mansion, Bai Ling likes this courtyard the most.The yard is completely different from the inside of the house. The plants are full of vitality and full of natural atmosphere, which makes Bai Ling have the illusion that he is still a living person.

Bai Ling planned to sit on the grass by the pond to pass the time.Just as he was about to sit down, he noticed that there seemed to be someone in the warehouse, and the sound of mechanical vibration came from inside.

Bai Ting tiptoed to the warehouse.The door of the warehouse had been kicked down by the white collar, and now someone just placed it at the door, blocking the entrance.Through the gap between the door and the door frame, Bai Jie saw a man operating a machine tool in the warehouse.

The warehouse was very dark, and the person inside brought a flashlight to light it up.Bai Ting squinted his eyes hard, only to vaguely discern that the person seemed to be Dr. Zhao.

Dr. Zhao put a small box-like thing on the operating table, and adjusted the machine tool, as if to open the small box.But he seemed to be very unfamiliar with the operation of the machine tool. He didn't know what he did. The small box made a "bang" sound and fell apart.Dr. Zhao sighed annoyedly, and unplugged the machine tool.

The parts in the small box were scattered all over the place, and one even rolled out through the crack of the door.The white collar picked it up and saw it was a small gear.

Perhaps it was the sound made by the action of Bai Ling when he was picking things up. Dr. Zhao noticed someone outside the door and asked vigilantly, "Who's there?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Bai Ting pushed the door slightly, showed his face and said, "Doctor Zhao, it's me."

Dr. Zhao was wearing a mask, and the white collar couldn't see his expression, but he felt a little relieved, and asked, "Student Bai, what are you doing here? Isn't Lu Luo with you?"

Bai Ting replied: "Lu Luo went to the study. I was relaxing in the courtyard. When I heard the sound from the warehouse, I came over to have a look." Bai Ting looked at the small box on the machine tool again.It can be seen that it turned out to be a pocket watch, but it has been completely crushed, and all the parts have come out.He asked curiously, "Doctor Zhao, what are you doing here?"

Dr. Zhao randomly picked up an empty box from the shelf in the warehouse, cleaned the remains of the pocket watch on the operating table into the box, and said: "I have a pocket watch, but I can't open it for some reason, and I can't tell the time. I remembered that there are machine tools in the warehouse. , I just want to see if I can open it with a machine tool."

Bai Ting looked at the remains of the pocket watch and thought to himself: This is not intended to be opened, this is clearly a deliberate destruction.Just as he was thinking, Bai Ting noticed Dr. Zhao's left hand holding the box.The little finger of his left hand seemed to be accidentally injured due to a mistake in the operation just now, and his fingers and nails were squeezed into a blue-purple color, which looked very painful.However, Dr. Zhao didn't seem to feel the pain at all. He obviously didn't notice that his hand was injured, and he even used his little finger to support the bottom of the box.

Bai Jie didn't speak.After cleaning up the wreckage of the pocket watch, Dr. Zhao bid farewell to the white collar and left the warehouse.Bai Ting watched Dr. Zhao leave, and found a hammer from the shelf.

When he saw Doctor Zhao's little finger, he remembered that when he just died, he only felt the pain for a moment, and then the wound seemed to be numb, and he felt nothing at all.

To pursue the truth will definitely require sacrifice.Bai Ting thought, put his hand on the operating table, picked up the hammer with the other hand, adjusted the strength and smashed it down.

The hammer smashed Bai Ling's fingers into a blue-purple color exactly like Dr. Zhao's.However, the white collar only felt a squeeze when the hammer came into contact with the hand, but there was no pain at all.

Bai Ting stared at his fingers, fear slowly pouring into his body like a tide.

Bai Ting didn't know how he got back to the room.He sat on the sofa for a while, and after calming down, he went to the study to find Lu Luo.

He opened the door and saw Lu Luo and Lu Tong with their heads together, reading a book.

"Lu Luo," Bai Jing asked, "Have you guys finished talking?"

"The chat is over." Lu Luo saw Bai Ting come in, and beckoned him to sit beside him. "We're looking at my father's diary."

"Diary?" Bai Jie looked at Lu Luo, pointed at Lu Tong and said, "Is it alright to show him?"

Lu Luo seemed a little unnatural, and he said with apology: "I wanted to ask Teacher Lu about his father. But Teacher Lu asked me how I knew so much about his father. I couldn't hold back. Just hand over this diary to him."

Lu Luo lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong, and added: "I think this diary is just a record of what happened before, and the murderer of the zombie incident these days should have known about it, so he made such a move." A series of things. So it doesn't matter if others read it. I just feel sorry for my father."

Hearing this, Lu Tong raised his head with a smile and said, "I'm sorry. I just found out that our master is actually a gay guy."

Lu Luo picked up a book from the bookshelf and threw it at Lu Tong, who dodged it with a grin.He flipped through his diary again and said, "Also, I didn't even know my dad went to medical school before. He's spent his whole life doing unskilled labor for others."

Bai Ting looked at the diary in front of him, and just turned to the page where Lu Jingchun gave his second brother a pocket watch.The young Lu Jingchun personally made a pocket watch and gave it to his favorite brother.Although simple, it is the pure heart of a young man.

Bai Ting instantly thought of the pocket watch that was crushed by Dr. Zhao in the warehouse.Suddenly, he pointed to the word pocket watch in the diary and said to Lu Tong: "Mr. Lu, have you ever seen your father use this pocket watch?"

Lu Tong looked at the contents of the diary and replied: "Of course I have seen it. My dad always takes it with him when he sleeps. This watch is very noisy, and he doesn't mind the noise."

"However," Lu Tong blinked again, and said, "My dad found a blacksmith to weld the case to death. He said that every time he looked at this watch, he wanted to open it to see how far the time had gone. You can see the words engraved on the case when you open it. As soon as he saw the words in the case, he felt so uncomfortable that he simply welded the case on.”

"Then do you know what words are engraved on the case?" Bai Ting asked.

"I know." Lu Tong nodded and said, "I opened my pocket watch when I was very young. It was just an ordinary word of blessing. I don't know why my dad was so disgusted, even to the point of welding the watch to death."

"What is it?"

Lu Tong turned the diary to another page and shrugged: "It's really a very common sentence."

"It's just 'May you live a happy life without any worries'."

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

August 37, XX6

I killed my brother.

The second brother called the eldest brother out to talk, probably about Zhou Xuan.The eldest brother actually went.When I learned, the two had been out for a long time.After hearing this, I rushed out quickly, regardless of what the servant behind me called me.

The eldest brother has become more and more powerful in recent years. He even beat a male servant in our family until he was deaf.I'm afraid that something will happen to my second brother.At home before, the elder brother often beat him. If the conversation is not pleasant this time, it is inevitable that the second elder brother will be beaten.

I rushed to the woods behind the house and saw my eldest brother and second brother talking beside the railway tracks.Both were very angry.The eldest brother punched the second brother directly in the abdomen, and the second brother squatted down immediately in pain.The eldest brother wanted to lift his foot to kick the second brother's head, so I hurried over and pushed the eldest brother onto the railroad tracks.

Then I felt the rails vibrate and heard the approaching whistle.The eldest brother was obese and could not stand up after lying on the rails for a long time.The second brother wanted to stretch out his hand to pull him up, but I watched the train approaching, fearing that my second brother would be injured, so I hugged him and walked away from the track.When I wanted to go to La Erge again, the train had already arrived.

Then we watched helplessly as the train ran over Big Brother.

Big Brother is dead.If we die like this, my second brother and I will definitely be blamed by our family members.I wanted to hide the body of my eldest brother, but unexpectedly a servant followed me here and saw everything.Then they called all the family members.

My second brother and I were taken into the hall.The servant clearly saw that it was my eldest brother who pushed me, but he immediately pointed out that it was the second brother who did it.The second brother wanted to defend himself, but he seemed to be worried about something, and was slapped by his father and fell to the ground, unable to say a word.

I was probably possessed by a demon at the time, and the only thing I thought about was whether Zhou Xuan would marry the second brother again after the elder brother died.If everyone thinks that the second brother killed him, and the father loves the second brother very much, he will not do anything to him, at most he will be locked up for a few days or even a few months, but this marriage will definitely fail.If I admit that I killed the person, how will my father punish me? Will my second brother never see him before he leaves home.

I said nothing, and all these things were on my mind.

The father lost his temper and ordered the servants to tie up the second brother and lock him in the warehouse.

When my second brother was escorted away, I didn't dare to look up into his eyes.I don't know what his expression is.
