After pulling Lao Gong out of the sea,

Chapter 8 "The Farce"

The sentinel with abnormal mental fluctuations was appeased, and Bo Rong felt a little dizzy. After hearing Wen Zening's words, he obediently got into the car.Wen Zening asked the driver to report the name of the hotel they stayed in. Bo Rong held Wen Zening's briefcase and left Wen Zening's sight.

Wen Zening was slightly relieved that the secret totem was no longer exposed.

……

When leaving the restaurant, the police car blew its siren and roared past the busiest street in Lido City.Compared with taking a leisurely walk for a day with his partner, the time Wen Zening arrived at Big Castle can be said to be negligible.

Wen Zening got out of the car, and the person guarding the Big Castle immediately regained his spirits. Wen Zening recognized this person as the waiter who had guided him to the VIP lounge earlier.It's just that the waiter didn't have the gentleness he saw in the morning. His expression seemed to be that he saw an enemy. Before Dai Lun could speak, he took the initiative to ask, "Sheriff Dai Lun, we have been sealing off the scene. , do you want the suspect to identify the scene now?"

The waiter directly asked Wen Zening to identify the scene, obviously already determined that this incident was done by Wen Zening.

Hearing this, even Darren felt a little uncomfortable. How the police handle the case is a matter for the police. What does it have to do with a waiter?

"I will take the professor there, you can continue to guard here." Sergeant Darren obviously did not bring the waiter with him, and he planned to solve the case together. While walking on the road, he asked Wen Zening about today's Details of the report.

"Professor, you said that 'you originally received an invitation from Baron Hill, the president of the Pangea Historical Society', and you rushed all the way to Lido City for this report meeting, but since you have already arrived, why did you leave early? What about the scene?" In fact, when everyone insisted on their own opinions, Sergeant Darren did not fully believe what everyone said.

What puzzled him the most and made him suspicious of Wen Zening was that Wen Zening, who had come all the way to attend the meeting, left before the report meeting was held.

And after he left, it was obvious that he didn't have other things temporarily, but started to wander around Lido City, even if he had a partner by his side, the excuse he made was that he planned to travel with his partner——

In Sheriff Darren's mind, that wasn't a strong reason to be with a partner.

"As I said, when I was in the lounge, because of some things two weeks ago, I once again had conflicts with Alan in the lounge. Under the dispute, I felt that continuing to participate in the report would be a waste of my life, naturally I just left. I even handed over the badge belonging to my Pangea Historical Society membership to President Hill."

Of course, what Wen Zening said now is not the main reason, but it is indeed a reason why he left Big Castle.

"According to the usual principles taught to you, you won't be so impulsive..." Sergeant Darren's words gradually became unprofessional.

But Wen Zening didn't care. He said, "If you really think I'm a suspect, please show evidence. If it's because of some out-of-the-box slander, it's impossible for me to admit it."

Wen Zening's attitude made Sergeant Daelon's brain clear again. Even though the sentinel had a natural affection for the guide, Sergeant Daelun also saw Wen Zening's ability to appease the sentinel, but Wen Zening did not belong to Daelon after all. wizard.

While talking, the two came to the interior of the meeting room of the castle. Wen Zening proposed to go to see the scene of Alan's death first.

"You always have to let me know how Alan died. In fact, I don't know the whole thing at all."

Sergeant Darren hesitated and did not speak.

Wen Zening took the initiative: "Actually, you haven't told me the cause of Alan's death, you just want to trick me, right?"

"You checked my briefcase to find the so-called "murder weapon", but the paper in the briefcase really cannot be used as a murder weapon, and Bo Rong and I have been wandering the streets all day today, so there is no chance to hide the murder weapon Yes. In fact, you have basically ruled out my suspicion, right?"

Sergeant Darren: ...It's easy to deal with smart people, but it's also annoying.

"I didn't do it. Of course I won't know the cause of Allen's death. If you have any questions, Sergeant Darren, you can ask them now. I think my attitude has been very cooperative since this journey. I have neither let Bo Rong shot at you, and he didn't use his mental power to interfere with your judgment. If Alan really died at the hands of others, as someone who knew him before, I certainly hope that someone can bring the murderer to justice!"

Wen Zening spoke sincerely and honestly.Hong Xing and Shao Xian are against the blockers

Sergeant Darren hesitated, thinking of Wen Zening's majestic mental power like the sea, it is not easy for the guide to use mental power to interfere with the sentry's judgment.Wen Zening is indeed a good-tempered guide who is willing to cooperate.

Darren gave an overview of the results of the forensic examination.

"Alan died of excessive blood loss. The murderer probably pierced his heart with a sharp knife, causing the arteries to lose blood..."

Now that the start has been made, Sergeant Darren directly took Wen Zening to the compartment where Alan Layard died. Although someone had already cleaned it up, the smell of blood still lingered because the compartment was not ventilated. .

Wen Zening subconsciously paid attention to the wall.

Big Castle is not a modern building, it is old and thick, the bathroom compartment is paved with red bricks, and it is dotted with marbles of other colors to form a beautiful pattern.

The circular and hexagonal patterns are simple and elegant, highlighting the ancient charm of this castle.

Dai Lun pointed to the location and told Wen Zening: "This is how Ai Lun died lying on his back on the ground."

A position with the head against the wall.

Wen Zening wanted to go up to check, but Sergeant Dai Lun stopped him, and said to him: "You must not approach the scene, otherwise you may be suspected of sabotaging the scene. Although I personally ruled out your suspicion, Professor Wen you Not a police investigator, I brought you here just hoping to get some clues from you."

Wen Zening heard Sergeant Darren's words, but stood not far away, gesturing at the posture of Allen falling to the ground, always feeling a little weird.

"It's a bit strange." Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Wen Zening could imagine the strange posture of Allen when he died, with the line of white corpses on the ground.

"It's really strange, it's as if someone was holding him in the wall..." Sergeant Dai Lun's unintentional words made Wen Zening's pupils shrink suddenly.

Allen and Hill...

If I was not mistaken at the time, there was indeed something in the wall that Baron Hill knocked open.

However, these words are not suitable for Sergeant Darren to say. Wen Zening suppressed his doubts, watched the first scene, and followed Sergeant Darren to the auditorium where everyone gathered.

The auditorium inside Big Castle is a huge and empty environment.The people who came to the meeting sat neatly inside. Wen Zening knew most of them, but he didn't come here today to reminisce, but to accept the accusations from these people.

The little girl with the shofar braids saw Wen Zening first. She stood on the podium and asked Wen Zening, "Why did you kill Alan!"

As it was getting late, the natural light outside was not enough to illuminate the interior, and almost all the lighting facilities in the auditorium were lit.The place where Li Sisi was standing was under a backlight, and only her outline could be seen clearly. The strong light shone into her eyes, making people feel a little dazed for a moment.

But in an instant, Wen Zening saw through Li Sisi's little trick, and he shook his head: "I didn't do that."

Li Sisi was unreasonable, she said ruthlessly: "You did it, because you quarreled with Allen, you wanted to kill him!"

The little girl's voice was sharp and piercing, not at all ignorant and innocent when they first met.It's really annoying to be unreasonable... Wen Zening's mental power suddenly turned into an invisible gust of wind, which suddenly tore apart Li Sisi's jumping nerves, causing her to scream and fall to the ground.

Although doing so was a bit cruel to the little girl, Wen Zening felt that the little girl who was too noisy really had to suffer a lot in order to have a long memory.Among the scholars present, there were no other guides. Only Dai Lun, who was a sentinel, could feel a little bit of what Wen Zening did.

However, Wen Zening's method was secretive and quick. Although Sergeant Dai Lun suspected it, he didn't have any evidence.

At this point, Sergeant Darren has to say a few words for Wen Zening: "Professor Wen only came back as an investigator to assist the investigator. Ms. Sisi, please relax a little bit, don't be so tense."

Li Sisi snorted and didn't answer, but she was visibly angry, and in a fit of anger, she generally stopped talking to Sergeant Darren.

Li Sisi was scolded by Sergeant Dai Lun and Wen Zening together, and the other people in the auditorium couldn't help but talk, discussing whether Sergeant Dai Lun was bribed by Wen Zening.

After all, it is always easy for ordinary people to have all kinds of fantasies between the sentinel and the guide, even if the guide already has a fixed partner.

Oh, for most people, their impression of Wen Zening is still that he is a widower who lost his husband.The news of Bo Rong's return was not a secret, but it wasn't a special inquiry, and not many people wanted to know.

After all, it was just an ordinary sentinel.

Clance, who had been staying here, couldn't help explaining, "The professor is not that kind of person!"

Then Clance was kicked back.

"If he didn't do something bad, why did he leave?"

Crans couldn't explain this. He had originally planned to go to the professor with his brother tonight to ask for clarification, but something like this happened. Even if Crans believed the professor, he still felt guilty.

Crans shut up, but the others didn't stop talking.

Wen Zening was a little uncomfortable talking about it in a low voice. Sergeant Darren followed the procedure and asked several "witnesses" to speak out one by one. Their confessions showed without exception: Wen Zening did have a relationship with Alan Layard. There were conflicts and an argument broke out in the break room.

Of course, the most important evidence comes from Ms. Li Sisi's seeing is believing. She said: "I really saw Wen Zening's back near the bathroom. At that time, I thought it was just a coincidence. Who knew Alan died later. , and died so miserably."

Perhaps in order to avenge Wen Zening, Li Siste purposely spoke even more aggrieved.

She suddenly had a headache just now. Although there was no evidence, in Li Sisi's view, there was only one suspect.

"Then what time did you see me appear in the bathroom?" Wen Zening's questioning tone made Li Sisi nervous.

"How can I remember it in such detail? I just went to the bathroom in the middle of the report meeting!" Li Sisi was like a hopping hamster.

Wen Zening chuckled, and told Li Sisi: "I entered Big Castle at [-]:[-] in the morning, and the person with me was Clans Dalton, and then I entered the VIP castle at [-]:[-]. Lounge. Because of the dispute with Alan and Ms. Li Sisi, I left the VIP lounge, and then I went to the common lounge, said goodbye to my companion Clans, and told him that I was going to leave, about nine It's [-]:[-]. Not only Clance saw this, I think the people in the lounge should have noticed me."

Hearing Wen Zening's movie, Klance quickly nodded in affirmation, it was indeed what Wen Zening said.

Hearing what Wen Zening said, besides Clance, another lady nodded, and she said: "I did see Professor Wen talking with Clance, saying that he was leaving. At that time, it was going to be ten o'clock. But it hasn't arrived yet. When Professor Wen left the general lounge, the city bell of Lido City hadn't struck ten o'clock."

Ms. Li Sisi glared at the woman who dared to speak, and asked, "You don't know him well, why did you notice him?"

The "he" Li Sisi was referring to was obviously Wen Zening.

Speaking of this, the lady's face suddenly turned red, and she said, "Professor Wen is very handsome. After I saw the professor, I asked my companions about him, so I was very impressed."

Li Sisi was a little unconvinced, she thought for a while and said: "This can only prove the time you left the common lounge, but it does not prove that you have indeed left Big Castle!"

Hearing Li Sisi's words, Wen Zening nodded, and praised her directly: "You are right, this really only proves the time I left the ordinary lounge."

Li Sisi was simple-minded, and when he heard Wen Zening's affirmation, he smiled complacently.

When she finished her complacency and realized that it was Wen Zening's words, she immediately turned on her face again.

"You are a suspect now, why can you still laugh!"

"What I didn't do, there must be a way to prove it." After Wen Zening finished speaking, he confirmed with Sergeant Dai Lun: "The police's autopsy report on Allen, the above time is about 11 to 12 o'clock. ?"

Sergeant Darren nodded. The time of the forensic examination was not accurate, but Allen died of blood loss. From the stiffness of the body, the time of death can be inferred more accurately.Generally speaking, there will be no mistakes, and there will be no mistakes in this range.

If Alan Layard died at 11 o'clock, then Wen Zening, who left Big Castle before ten o'clock, could not be the murderer.

"After I left Big Castle, I walked all the way and bought a lot of things. Maybe many street vendors can recognize me." Wen Zening finished speaking very optimistically, and looked at Li Sisi who wanted to say something again, "So When did you see me come out of the bathroom?"

Li Sisi opened his mouth, unable to speak.

In the end, she had to admit that she only slandered like this because Allen happened to be dead and she hated Wen Zening.

The "farce" of accusing Wen Zening of being the murderer also came to an end.

It was obviously a lie so simple that it could be exposed with a confrontation, but the little girl thought that she could deceive others and frame others.

Even because of slandering her during the murder, she was suspected of actually killing someone.

Wen Zening asked her: "If it wasn't for my own evil intentions, how could I think of biting others?"

Li Sisi couldn't answer.

Sergeant Darren's eyes lit up, and he identified Li Sisi as a new suspect, planning to take him directly to the police station for interrogation.

Everyone at the report meeting dispersed, and Wen Zening sat on an armchair in the venue, leaning against him, in a very relaxed state.

The others left. As the president of the Pangea History Professional Society, Baron Hill did not leave in a hurry, but sent everyone away one by one.But for a moment, only Baron Hill and Wen Zening were left in the venue.

Baron Hill brought two glasses of champagne from nowhere, and one of them was handed to Wen Zening. He didn't drink it in a hurry, but shook the orange-yellow liquid to diffuse the aroma.

Baron Hill narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of apology: "I'm really sorry, professor. If it wasn't my negligence, I wouldn't let you suffer such accusations for nothing."

Although Wen Zening took the champagne glass, he didn't intend to take a sip at all, so he snorted.

"If you don't want to ruin your reputation, you'd better take care of your little pet." He had been on the sidelines before, but now he seemed to be blaming himself. Baron Hill is a very good actor.

Hearing what Wen Zening said, Baron Hill couldn't help but froze slightly, but after a while, he drank the champagne in his glass as if he was completely unaffected.

"Life always needs more unknowns to be more exciting, and it always happens to you, Professor."

"I will pay attention to the Kerry Totem for you, but I really don't understand why you are willing to make Alan this sacrifice. He is obviously your most loyal servant..."

Wen Zening spoke in a calm tone, making Baron Hill's whole body tear apart.

"How would you know!"

Baron Hill almost roared and said these words, but Wen Zening didn't see whether Hill was so emotionally out of control because of Kerry Totem or Allen.

"Don't take chances in everything, so that it will last longer. If I don't come to you in the future, let's not contact you. It's good for everyone. It's better for you to do less things like today. Think It was not an easy thing to pull me into the water."

After Wen Zening finished speaking, he stood up and walked step by step towards the high gate of the auditorium, getting farther and farther away from Baron Hill.

In fact, it was only after seeing the bathroom cubicle that Wen Zening suddenly realized that the whole incident was not an accident, although both he and Sergeant Darren pinned the slander on the nature of the little girl's farce.

Allen's death was inevitable.

Even if it wasn't Allen, it would be someone else. Baron Hill may be losing control of his little pets—one of the evidences is that Baron Hill is searching for all kinds of control patterns.

Two weeks ago, Allen offered to perform a life sacrifice this month.

Wen Zening felt strange, but he didn't think too much, but he didn't expect that Hill had reached this point...

Allen is a good partner who has been with him for many years!

As for Li Sisi, he was just a poor man being used by Hill.

Hill wants to get his own support, and he does not hesitate to use these people.

Maybe he just wanted to teach himself a lesson and show that he was in control of everything?

Wen Zening thought with some uncertainty.

It's just that he didn't succeed today, and I don't know what else he will do in the future...

Ever since Bo Rong came back, Wen Zening's mind has been in a state of confusion. When he walked out of the gleaming Big Castle, the city lights of the city were obviously not as good as those outside.But the hustle and bustle of Lido City is also a kind of returning to the human world from the grotesque world.

But when Wen Zening returned to the hotel and saw the worried Bo Rong, he felt that there was nothing more important than teaching this rusty-headed boy a lesson.

"Teacher, you're back!" Bo Rong saw Wen Zening come back, and stood up from the chair abruptly.

"Well, I'm back." Wen Zening touched his sentinel's face, and suddenly found the monster he saw on Bo Rong before, and he was looking at him with his eyes open.
