Chapter 121 The Murderous House Case 10
The group were preparing to head to the woodshed. As soon as they left the door, Qin Shiyu suddenly called out, "Xiang Chen."
Xiang Chen, who was walking in front with Jiang Yu, turned back, "Huh?"
Qin Shiyu threw something directly at him. Without any suspicion, Xiang Chen stretched out his hand to catch it, and then his body froze.
When Jiang Yu saw what was in his hand, she was so frightened that she took a step to the side to hide. Jian Cang had already yelled, "Ah!!! Cockroach!"
Xiang Chen came to his senses, let out an angry laugh and threw the thing back. Qin Shiyu ducked aside and the toy cockroach landed at Shu Hua's feet. Shu Hua was so frightened that she jumped up like a ghost, ran out, and hugged Jiang Yu, "Bigshot!"
Jian Cang realized that it was the toy placed at the door to scare them. Still, he collapsed, "Elder Brother Shi Yu, when did you become so childish?"
Qin Shiyu smiled evilly and made a throwing motion toward Shu Hua, "Catch."
Shu Hua screamed in fright and ran away dragging Jiang Yu.
Everyone:...
【Hahaha, this is my first time seeing Qin Shiyu being so funny. So bad. 】
【Both Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen are speechless, hahahaha. 】
Jiang Yu was dragged all the way to the woodshed by Shu Hua. As usual, she solved the puzzle and unlocked the door. By the time the four boys arrived, Jiang Yu had already solved the code.
The six people went in together. A gust of wind happened once again. Now they knew it was a ‘side effect’ brought by the Moonlight Treasure Box and weren’t so afraid.
In the dim and strange green, Yang Meng-er was tied up and thrown into the firewood pile. She was wearing gray clothes and her belly was already showing. There were terrifying crack-like black lines on her cheeks, and her eyes were about to turn black.
"Meng-er!" Young Meng Yu appeared and quickly took out a dagger to loosen her bonds, "Meng-er, don't be afraid, I will take you out of here!"
Yang Meng-er looked at Meng Yu, surprised for a moment and then quickly calmed down, "Elder Brother Yu, no bother. I can't leave."
Meng Yu wanted to reach out to help her, "We can, we can definitely do it."
Yang Meng-er avoided his hand, touched her belly, then her face, and sadly voiced out, "No, it's already too late."
Meng Yu shook his head vigorously, "No, it's not too late!"
Yang Meng-er decisively stated, "It's too late. I've been forced to drink a lot of medicine..." She stroked her belly, "I can feel that he is different too."
"Elder Brother Yu," she said in a trembling voice, "I can't live. Kill me."
Meng Yu naturally refused, shaking his head with red eyes.
Yang Meng-er begged, "Please, kill me. I don't want to be a living dead, let alone eat human flesh and drink human blood while conscious. I don't want my child to become like that. Elder Brother Yu, please kill me!"
Meng Yu didn't have much time. He soon heard the movement of those who came to tie up Yang Meng-er to take her away to drown. Yang Meng-er said anxiously, "Elder Brother Yu! Kill me, or it's too late!"
As she spoke, she also stuffed a piece of paper into Meng Yu's hand, "I'll leave the rest to you..."
Seeing the people outside about to come in and then taking in Yang Meng-er's appearance, Meng Yu finally raised his reddened eyes. The dagger raised high and stabbed into her chest...
Yang Meng-er contentedly died, while Meng Yu knelt down and cried bitterly, "If there is another chance, I would never let go of your hand again."
"Fudge!" Jian Cang crossed his arms and rubbed them, "I'm getting goosebumps. It turns out that the person who killed Yang Meng-er was Meng Yu who time-traveled!"
Xiang Chen sighed, "If Yang Meng-er doesn't die, she will become an undying poisoned person who can't help but kill people. So Meng Yu can only kill her, which is a relief for her."
Ye Yuanyu found the third sandalwood box in the firewood pile, "Now there is only one last wooden box left."
Xiang Chen said, "Once we get the last box, all the mysteries in Chen's house will be solved."
"I think it must have been Meng Yu who made Young Master Chen and old Madam Chen become undying poisoned people." Shu Hua said, "But where are we going to find the last box? Why isn't there the note that Yang Meng-er gave to Meng Yu? ?”
Ye Yuanyu said, "Everything left behind by the time traveler is here, but the things given to him were probably taken away."
Jian Cang said, "What should we do? The clue trail is broken?"
However, Jiang Yu uttered, "In the side hall where we first stayed first."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
The group caught on. Shu Hua patted her head, "Yes, there was a flashback from the past. The last sandalwood box should be there!"
So the group of people rushed to the side hall again. They were locked inside at the time, but now they easily unlocked it outside. The room was still the same as when they left. After entering, the lights disappeared, and new things appeared this time. .
In the strange green light, Young Master Chen Dongqing and old Madam Chen secretly moved a certain tablet with a pageboy. Under the altar table, a dark passage silently appeared. Young Master Chen supported old Madam Chen into the passage and told the pageboy, "Keep watch and don't let anyone get close. Still the same old rule. This time, knock four times, two long and two short, and then open the door for us."
The pageboy agreed. After Chen Dongqing and Mrs. Chen entered the underground laboratory, the pageboy twisted the tablet again and closed the passage, as if it had never appeared before.
Soon, Meng Yu appeared. He knocked out the boy, opened the passage, threw the pageboy down, and then closed the passage again. After doing all this, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Meng-er, following what you gave me, I have blocked all the passages. Doesn’t the Chen Family like undying poisoned people? Then let them become one themselves. I have avenge you..."
The flashback was over.
Jiang Yu said, "The Moonlight Treasure Box can trace back a certain period of events that happened in this place. So in fact, the last Moonlight Treasure Box was left behind during this time travel. It’s just, the first time we saw it was the scene of the wedding."
The secret of this ancient house was now complete. Ye Yuanyu said, "The time when the Chen Family's human experiments were exposed, it was actually in 1942. At that time, Yang Meng-er didn’t die, but was made into a conscious undying poisoned person by the Chen Family. Middle-aged Meng Yu knew the truth about the Chen Family through the newspaper and knew the fate of Yang Meng-er. He happened to find the Moonlight Treasure Box that can go back to the past. So he immediately went back to the past to save Yang Meng-er."
"But Yang Meng-er, who knew the truth, must have exposed a flaw or was too sharp. Or she even couldn't help but save the maids who were deceived. That’s why she was dealt with in advance by the Chen Family."
"The middle-aged Meng Yu was worried that something might happen to Yang Meng-er while the Moonlight Treasure Box was charging, so he left a box for his younger self for emergency purposes. But he didn't know that things had changed because of his first time traveling and Yang Meng-er prematurely died.”
"In order to investigate the truth, young Meng Yu used the Moonlight Treasure Box to return to the day Yang Meng-er died. It turned out that Yang Meng-er had begun to evolve in the direction of an undying poisoned person. In order to not become a terrible monster, Yang Meng-er asked him to kill her. After Meng Yu killed Yang Meng-er, he reached the entrance and exit of the laboratory by following Yang Meng-er’s investigation and traveled back again to imprisoning the culprits, Chen Family, in the underground biological laboratory and turn them into an undying poisoned person to avenge Yang Meng-er."
Shu Hua said, "So the screams and strange noises heard by the surrounding residents may be the flashback from Moonlight Treasure Box’s time traveling or the roars of the undying poisoned people in the basement."
Jian Cang finally found the last wooden box from the gap in the altar table, "Then only the Meng Family’s aim is left. Why are they looking for the Moonlight Treasure Box?"
"If they know the existence of the Moonlight Treasure Box, why has no one come to pick it up for so many years?" He shook it, "There seems to be something inside."
It was the last one, so everyone opened the box without any pretense and found that there were two gold bars inside.
"There is a note here." Jian Cang picked up the note and read, "I have finished avenging Meng-er. I thought about reporting the Chen Family's affairs, but hearing that the governor of City C was obsessed with searching for the elixir of immortality, I gave up the plan. The temptation of immortality is too great. I’m afraid that a second Chen family will be born."
"I used the Moonlight Treasure Box for the last time and brought back some gold from the Chen Family's warehouse. Part of it was used to buy Chen's house and part of it was used for business. All the money I earned was used to maintain the underground mechanisms of this house. After all, those poisoned people are undying. It would be bad if there is some instability and they escape and cause a tragedy."
"I am going to take the Moonlight Treasure Box and this matter into the coffin. With the noise caused by the undying poisoned people and the flashback images of the Moonlight Treasure Box from time to time, no one dares to live here. Fearing that future generations will not maintain the house carefully, I left behind the legend of getting rich overnight in this house. I hope that even if they can’t live in it, they will send people to check and timely strengthen the house..."
Xiang Chen said, "So when the Meng Family suddenly asked us to look for the box, they actually wanted to find the secret to getting rich?"
Jiang Yu said, "They want to sell the old house and are very concerned about the value. They are obviously short of money. It’s possible they just wanted to give it a try and search around."
"In fact, after so many years, his descendants may just regard this as a legend," Jian Cang suddenly pointed out, "Before we came in, Housekeeper Meng said how many years have they been away from here? Was there any annual maintenance?"
The group took in the dilapidated yard and the spider webs hanging everywhere and exchanged glances. Shu Hua said, "I seem to feel a vibration under my feet. Is it my imagination?"
Ye Yuanyu expressionlessly responded, "I heard a roaring sound. Is it an imagination?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang bang" sound from the passage under the altar. Jian Cang scurried away, "It's not an imagination!! They are coming out!!!"
The moment they ran out of the room, a bunch of undying poisoned people poured out from all directions, chasing after them with their claws and teeth. Adding a bit of eerieness to the gloomy weather, the six people screamed and rushed to the door, only to find that the door was blocked.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Shu Hua screamed, "What's going on?"
"Help!!" Jian Cang howled, "Let us out. Do you want to murder us?"
Qin Shiyu suddenly pulled Jiang Yu and shouted, "This way!"
Only then did everyone see three wooden ladders set up on one side of the courtyard wall. Everyone ran over without caring about anything else.
Running to the ladder, Qin Shiyu let Jiang Yu go up first and he followed behind. Next to him, Ye Yuanyu, Shu Hua, Jian Cang and Xiang Chen climbed up the other two ladders.
When they climbed up the wall, the undying poisonous people who rushed over actually moved the ladder away.
"Waa! Don't go too far! How can we get down if the ladder is removed?" Shu Hua couldn't help shouting.
This wall was at least two and a half meters high. They can't jump off.
As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, those undying poisoned people put the ladder back again, but this time they started to climb up.
Everyone:...
Jian Cang mentally collapsed, "What the hell! You guys, please take away the ladder. We don't need it, thank you!"
Naturally, those ‘guys’ didn't understand. Fortunately, they moved slowly and were just holding on to the ladder. They actually looked like they couldn't climb up. However, the high and low roars gave off sufficient sense of oppression.
Jian Cang quickly looked toward the outer wall, "How to get down?"
In fact, this wall was quite wide. People could sit on it safely, but the height made people feel uneasy. After Jiang Yu came up, she carefully moved to make way for Qin Shiyu. As expected, Qin Shiyu walked on it as if walking on flat ground and sat down next to her. Jiang Yu quickly grabbed his clothes to gain a sense of security.
Qin Shiyu didn't say anything. He just picked up the nearby safety harness prepared by the program team and said, "Put it on first."
Jiang Yu stretched out her arms and put them on. Then she quickly looked down and retracted her gaze, "Have to climb down?"
Many irregular stones similar to climbing rocks were nailed to the outer wall of this ancient house as a starting point. Obviously, this was the way for them to go down.
To be honest, climbing from top to bottom was much scarier than climbing from bottom to top. Jiang Yu mentally simulated how to get down.
Jian Cang's worried exclamation came from the side, "Ah ah ah, Elder Brother Chen, please slow down!"
It turned out that Xiang Chen had already put on the safety harness and started to climb down. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Xiang Chen raised his head and smiled at them, "I will go down first and then receive you from beloW. This way, it won't be so scary."
Jian Cang praised, "Elder Brother Chen, you are so awesome!"
Shu Hua clapped her hands, "Elder Brother Chen, you are so awesome. Your boyfriend-air is at the max!"
Jiang Yu gave him a thumbs up. She sensed the nearby Qin Shiyu was about to stand up, "What do you want to do?"
Qin Shiyu looked down casually, "This wall is at most two and a half meters tall. Just jump off."
Jiang Yu didn't doubt his ability. After all, he had done this kind of thing in previous shows. Still…
"Where is your safety harness?"
【Safety harness? For this extent, God Yu never ties a safety rope. 】
【I remember him jumping off a cliff. So crazy and so handsome. Becoming a god in one battle. 】
【It’s true. Although he is very handsome when solving problems, he is simply full of hormones when it comes to physical exercises. 】
Qin Shiyu said, "There is no need for this height."
Jiang Yu refused, grabbed his clothes, and stated, "Still got to put them on. There’s what if? Everything involves luck. Some people who can fall on flat ground."
Afraid that he wouldn't listen, she added, "Don't let others worry."
Qin Shiyu paused and looked down at her. Jiang Yu directly picked up the strap and said, "Here."
Qin Shiyu sat down again and stretched out his arms obediently.
【Tsk, tsk, people who have wives are different. 】
【Indeed, although he looks very handsome when going crazy, people close to him will definitely be frightened. I would rather him not being so cool. Safety first. 】
【Am I the only one who thinks he looks so cool when he obeys his wife? ! 】
【Another evidence that the Double A couple is real +1. 】
