"When you encounter a bridge, you will jump and you will roll when you encounter water." I was still thinking about the meaning of these two sentences. This is a villa, and water is everywhere now, but there is no such thing as a bridge in this place. Where there is a bridge, there is usually a river. Then there is water if there is a river? Does that make me jump or make me roll? This is clearly a conflict between two sentences.
"Mr. Lin, please..." In my trance, Miss Shen had already taken me to a room door, and made a very polite gesture. The door of this room is very large, it is a double-sided door facing left and right. The decoration of the door is also very luxurious, with life-like relief animal patterns carved on it. It is impossible to use this kind of door in the bedroom, it should be a meeting room, or a hall of the kind used for parties.
But when I saw the scene behind the gate, I knew that I was wrong again, and the wrong was beyond my imagination. What appeared in front of me was not a spacious and gorgeous room with decorations, but a stone staircase. The staircase was very wide. If three people walk side by side at the same time, it would not be too crowded. It stands to reason that it looks like this kind of big villa. A staircase is not very strange, but this staircase is strange. It does not go upwards, but extends downwards. This is the shape of the stairs leading to the bottom. What's going on, is it asking me to go to the basement
"Where is this going?" Of course, I couldn't just walk in with her so unclearly, I had to ask clearly.
"Mr. Lin don’t have to panic. I’m just taking you to see my husband. Although my husband is critically ill, we have a private doctor and recuperate at home. But the villa is messy and unclean, so my husband and the doctor live underground. The first floor." That's right, there are so many servants in this villa, it's really not suitable for patients to recuperate.
But for some reason, I dare not go any further. Because this dim staircase is incompatible with this glamorous villa, it is completely two worlds. The hollow and deep stairs, my eyes looked as if I had entered a black hole, and it was bottomless. Darkness is the greatest natural enemy of mankind. In darkness, among other things, your own imagination is enough to kill yourself.
"Ding… "
"Ding..." Just as I was thinking and hesitating on the spot, a crisp sound like a switch button rang in my ears, and at the same time my eyes became brighter.
Let me just say, if there is such a villa, how could it be possible not to install an aisle light here.
But the depth of the stairs seems to be extraordinary, even with the light, you still can't see the head at a glance.
"Mr. Lin, please..." Miss Shen seemed to see through my fear, so she smiled at me, and then took the lead and led me down. I immediately followed up, unwilling to show weakness.
The stone stairs are long and cold, but fortunately there are lighting measures along the way, and they are also very bright. The stairs are very spacious. Ms. Shen and I walked side by side without looking crowded. As I walked, I looked at the walls on both sides. The walls on both sides were also beautifully decorated, all with exquisite glazed tiles.
"Ms. Shen, didn't you go to the basement level? Why did you walk for so long?" Inferred from time, although it only took about one minute, this is a staircase, which is already a very deep road. If you calculate it on the basis of ordinary floors, it is at least five floors deep. In addition to the doubts in my heart, the environment here has also become colder and colder as it gets deeper and deeper.
But in the face of my questioning, Miss Shen actually ignored her and walked forward with an elegant and free attitude.
"Miss Shen?" I was a little strange, so I stopped and called again to her back. But she did not hear it at all, and continued to walk around there.
Staring at her back, I suddenly felt something was wrong. When she was eating just now, she was wearing a tight top and leather pants, but although the top has not changed now, her lower body is now wearing a long skirt, which is so long that she can cover her feet.
Strange, she has been with me ever since I saw her at the dining table and never left my sight. When did she change her clothes
Feeling bad, I immediately took a step forward, patted her on the shoulder, and shouted, "Miss Shen, wait a minute!"
When my palm was slapped on her shoulder, my brain collapsed almost at the same time. The Miss Shen in front of me, her whole body became shrivelled with the strength of my palm, and finally with her clothes. Disappeared in the same place together.
I didn't scream because the nerves in my brain were so scared that I couldn't make any response. But now I can really feel the phrase that is popular on the Internet today, I was scared to cry. The nerve stimulation of fear made my lacrimal glands start to spin around my eye sockets, and my back was startled by bursts of cold sweat.
"Calm... Calm..." I kept encouraging myself, encouraging myself to stay calm, don't panic.
"Puppet surgery!!" I remembered the term my uncle had mentioned to me. The situation of Miss Shen, who had just disappeared, was very similar to the two traffic policemen in front of the grave at the foot of the mountain.
But the uncle used his long mace to destroy them, and I just patted her and disappeared. Is this puppetry also hierarchical
After knowing the truth, my tense nerves also relaxed, but my whole person suddenly became weak and weak, and I didn't care whether it was dangerous or not, so I just slumped on the ground.
……
After a short rest, my brain's thoughts gradually became clear. Damn, it's all routines, what I just said is so pitiful, they are all acting with me, it is estimated that since seeing me refuse to eat her steak, she has noticed my guardianship. I said those words to win my sympathy and reduce my defense against her. I thought I was smart, and I had already fallen into other people's calculations. Based on the analysis of the current situation, I suspect that the body in the pool was deliberately placed there. The first purpose was to deliberately divide my uncle and me to make me suspicious of the uncle, and the second was to introduce me into it. urn. Thinking of this, I became a little scared. I don’t know if they just called the police. If it is true, the murder case is a must-solve case. Any clues arouse the suspicion of the police, not to mention my coat on the body. , If the investigation is really conducted, I will definitely be included in the list of the number one suspect by the police. Grass! ! Then if I go out now, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing myself into the trap!
At this moment, I deeply realized the horror of that Miss Shen, the needle in the heart of the woman’s heart, but I did not expect that there is such a deep trick hidden behind that charming smile. This trick is really useful to break the boat and break my back. wonderful.
The more this happens, the more curious I am. What is the purpose of this Miss Shen entrusting me? She has already paid a big price to invite me, is there anything that can't tell me directly? Do you want to play me like a monkey
Thinking of this, there was a nameless fire in my heart. I don’t know where the courage came from. I snarled directly at the neighborhood: "Miss Shen, you are a man with a good head and a face if you don’t do dark things. I have already collected your money. If you need my help, just give me instructions. Why hide in hiding."
These words, I was only angry for a while, and I just murmured casually. I also knew that no one would pay attention to me at all. Even if Miss Shen heard it, it is probably watching me like a monkey.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as my voice fell, Miss Shen's voice immediately came to my mind. The voice sounded very anxious, very anxious, and even worried: "Mr. Lin, are you still there? Are you okay? Is there something sneaking on you?"
Unexpectedly, I was startled by the sudden sound, but after looking around for a while, I found that there was no Miss Shen, listening to her series of caring tone and sincere words, one At time, I relented again, and completely forgotten the suspicion I had just now, and then turned to worry for her: "Miss Shen, I'm fine, where are you? What happened just now? Why can't I see you now?" Except for this stone staircase, there are only two walls on the left and right. I think Miss Shen should be on the opposite side of one of these walls.
It seems that I guessed correctly, and indeed Miss Shen's voice came from the wall: "Mr. Lin, I'm fine."
She said so, but her tone was clear and full of sadness, maybe I blamed her wrong? My heart softened again: "Ms. Shen, what's the matter, why did you suddenly run to the other side?" When I asked this, I actually already had an answer in my heart, because there were so many things that came along the way. The things encountered are more weird, and ordinary logic can't explain the situation here.
"Hey..." She sighed softly again, as if her heart was filled with endless sadness and bitterness. "Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Maybe I was wrong, maybe my husband really has nothing to do with his life. Mr. Lin, things have changed, and your mission is too. It's over. I don't want to hurt you. Go back."
Listening to her, my brain is still a little unresponsive. The mission is over? Let me go? Is it so costly for me
Ms. Shen didn’t hear me, and thought I was still worried about something, so she said to me: “Mr. Lin doesn’t need to worry about anything, things have exceeded my expectations, and your mission has ended early. You don’t have to refund anymore. This little money is worth making friends like Mr. Lin."
Hearing such a pitiful voice from a woman, I just left, so am I still a man? What's more, I haven't figured out what happened to me in this whole thing, how could I leave so unclearly. Even if I am now greedy for life and fear of death, I will be entangled in my heart by this incident for the rest of my life. I don't have the determination to die, but at least I must be worthy of my professional ethics. Even if I want to retreat, I have to figure out why I retreat.
"Ms. Shen, whether you are my client or not, even if you are just a passer-by, I will not watch you run away alone in danger. Besides, I have collected your money. It is my employer. I can't leave you alone. Tell me, how can I help you?"
Hearing my generous words, Ms. Shen seemed to feel a little comfort, but she still refused me: "Mr. Lin, I am really happy to hear you say that. It proves that I did not choose the wrong person. But I appreciate your kindness. If you can, after you go out, help me dismiss my maids and give them some money. The money is in a safe in my room. The safe is not locked. You can directly Just open it, and the rest will be your other half of the commission."
How did this sound like an account of funeral affairs? I was a little worried about Miss Shen’s safety. I immediately slapped the wall and shouted: "Miss Shen, I will take you with you if I want to leave. I will never Leave you alone. Tell me how can I help you? "I'm in a hurry, I'm really anxious. Maybe it's because I see too much life and parting from death, so I really can't see death without saving.
"Mr. Lin, don't waste your effort. I have been caught in the trap here and can't go." (End of this chapter)
