squeak…
As Zhao Yu opened a large wardrobe in the east wing, everyone was shocked to see that inside the cabinet, there was a step extending downwards, leading all the way to the dark underground!
"No way?" Zhang Ling's eyes widened, "There is actually a secret room here? This..." He looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, "How did you find out?"
Of course Zhao Yu saw it through an invisible fluoroscopy device.
Before entering the room, he found that the door was not locked. He was worried that there was an ambush in the house, so he not only used a detector, but also used a fluoroscope to explore the place.
Therefore, he had long discovered that there was a secret space under the east wing, and it was quite large.
This secret room is located just below my yard, so even if someone builds a house outside, it will not be affected.
"Shh..."
Regarding Zhang Ling's question, Zhao Yu naturally had no way to explain it to him, so he had to take it first, made a silent gesture at him, and then pointed to the secret passage under his feet.
This naturally meant to warn him that the murderer might be down there, so he'd better say less!
Zhang Ling and Ran Tao quickly took out their pistols, as if facing a powerful enemy.
However, they were still a step slow. Zhao Yu did not take a weapon, but he was the first to get into the closet and go to the secret room.
"Don't… "
Zhang Ling was worried that Zhao Yu had made a mistake, so he immediately followed him with Ran Tao...
The secret room was located underground. Zhao Yu entered it in a few steps and turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone at the same time.
As a result, when he took a look deep into the secret room, his eyes suddenly turned straight!
Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, when he saw the terrifying scene in front of him, he still felt great shock and terror! !
But there was an antique desk right in front of the secret room. A man wearing tattered clothes and unkempt hair was sitting in front of the desk, motionless!
This man was dressed like a dirty beggar and a poor ghost in the game. He was actually exactly the same as the last ghost recorded in "The Record of the King of Ghosts"! ! !
Seeing this scene, it means that the last case of the Ghost King case has happened!
However, unlike the previous ones, this last deceased person is most likely the murderer himself!
Really dead
Zhao Yuqiang tried to calm down and shined his flashlight on the body of the deceased, but saw that the body of the deceased was stiff, his face was distorted, and he was motionless, just like the other deceased in the Ghost King case.
"Damn it!"
Zhao Yu cursed secretly and looked at his watch. The time at the moment was 12:03, just past midnight.
Logically speaking, if he committed suicide at 12 o'clock, he should not have died yet. Could it be that... he didn't wait until 12 o'clock at all, or... he was already dead
Snapped…
With a crisp sound, the headlight in the basement was turned on by Ran Tao, and it became bright for an instant.
The police officers may have been mentally prepared. Even though they saw the hideous deceased, no one screamed. Instead, they followed the rules and fully investigated the scene to prevent any danger.
Zhao Yu turned off the flashlight and looked at the deceased again. Only then did he suddenly see that on the desk in front of the deceased, there was a piece of rice paper for calligraphy, with a line of calligraphy written on the rice paper:
"I don't believe that people become ghosts after death, but I do recognize the reincarnation of ghosts. All living beings have ghost nature, and good and evil will eventually be determined!"
The 24 calligraphy characters appear vividly on the paper, and when combined with the death scene in front of you, it is naturally chilling and weird to read.
"Ghost... ghost reincarnation..." Zhang Ling looked pale and said tremblingly, "Aren't these words... from the preface of "The Record of the Ghost King"?"
"Huh?" At this time, Zhao Yu suddenly discovered something. He immediately reached out his hand and moved the rice paper a little, but saw that there was an ancient book pressed under the rice paper!
"ah!?"
This time, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the three characters "Ghost King Record" written in ancient traditional Chinese characters on the cover of the ancient book!
"This..." Zhang Ling's eyes widened, "There is indeed a book "The Record of the Ghost King" here!"
Zhao Yu didn't think too much. He reached out his hand again and opened the "Ghost King's Record". As a result, he only turned one page and was suddenly shocked.
This Ghost King's Record is actually a hand-copied version, and there is an eye-catching word "Tao" on the title page!
"No way!?" Zhang Ling felt like he was almost out of breath, "This... this book, can't be Tao Yulan's one!?"
"When Tao Yulan was arrested," Zhao Yu said, "the only thing missing was his "Record of the Ghost King". Could it be that..."
Having said this, Zhao Yu turned his gaze to the deceased in front of him.
The face of the deceased was ferocious, but it could still be seen that he was a young man with average appearance and not very tall.
Judging from the state of his death, he was indeed the same as the other victims of the Ghost King case, but this man was the most upright among all the deceased.
Although his face was equally ferocious and twisted, it still gave people a sense of calmness and determination.
and…
Zhao Yu noticed something and hurriedly turned on the flashlight and shined it at the feet of the deceased.
As a result, he soon saw a syringe lying on the ground, with a small amount of white liquid remaining in the syringe...
"This is..." Zhang Ling also saw the syringe and immediately said to Zhao Yu, "This should be an injection containing poisonous rat poison, right?"
"None of the four deceased people appeared before," Zhao Yu said, staring at the syringe, "but they did appear here, which means..."
"Sure enough, it was suicide!" Zhang Ling nodded. "It seems that you were right. The murderer really thought that he was the last ghost! Lingsha, Lingsha, I never imagined that it would be like this!"
"Team leader," at this time, Ran Tao from afar waved to Zhao Yu and said, "Come here quickly, come and take a look at this!"
It turns out that this underground secret room is not a completely transparent room. There are some small partitions on the east side, which divide the secret room into two small suites.
At this moment, Ran Tao was standing at the door of the first suite, waving to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu turned off the phone again, came to Ran Tao, and looked into the suite.
Wow…
Zhao Yu couldn't help but let out an exclamation, but saw that the walls of the suite were densely covered with photos and some handwritten information, which was all over the walls of the room.
In the photos closest to Zhao Yu, you can see Niu Jinkui and Shen Wenbin, and on the right are Tao Yan and Lei Feiyi...
The photos were obviously taken secretly, which shows that the photographer had secretly followed these people and investigated their details.
Going deeper, there were also photos of Mirou, the deceased himself, and even a group photo of them!
It can be seen that the fifth deceased did have a close relationship with Mirou...
"Captain," a police officer who had just entered the secret room shouted to Zhang Ling, "we found an electric wall-climbing ladder in the yard, and also found electronic equipment that can short-circuit electricity from the shelves in the west wing. …”
"Captain," said a police officer on the other side of the basement, "I found two large bags of powdery items here. Judging from the logo, it should be Poison Rat Qiang!"
"Captain," another police officer called, "I found a lot of cosmetics, which are very similar to those smeared on the face of the deceased in the Ghost King case..."
