Chapter 79
In the interrogation room, Luo Fei, Javert and Lin Zaizhong sat facing each other.

"My room is next to Butler He. Last night, Mr. Wang told me that I would discuss with some painters about the art foundation today, so that I don't have to hold a party with him anymore, and just go back to my room and prepare a letter of intent." Lin Zaizhong said Said in a low voice, looking very depressed.

"Do you usually have parties?" Luo Fei asked.

Lin Zai nodded: "Well, three months ago, Mr. Wang said that he would explain his work to me at any time, and insisted that I move to the villa, and he would have a separate meeting with me every night before going to bed. The meeting is just to exchange ideas.”

"The only thing that didn't open last night?" Javert followed up and asked.

"Well, when he took Mr. Xiao Wang away at the dinner party, he specifically told me that the party was cancelled, and told me to go back to my room directly." Lin Zaizhong was very sure.

Luo Fei raised his eyes sharply, as if thinking of something: "Then you went back to your room?"

"What happened yesterday, I think Mr. Wang must be in a bad mood and wanted to calm down, so I didn't bother him again until I found out about Mr. Wang this morning..." Lin Zaizhong said while bowing his head and talking. I couldn't help sobbing.

"You have long heard about his establishment of an art foundation, right?" Luo Fei asked.

Lin Zaizhong sighed: "Oh, Mr. Wang did mention it to me a long time ago, and because of this, I was almost scolded by him."

Javert looked at Lin Zaizhong suspiciously: "He scolded you?"

"He asked me to be the person in charge. I said I was young and inexperienced, so I couldn't do it." Lin Zaizhong wiped away his tears and collected himself, "In the end he said that a man should learn to be independent and independent. Responsibility, you have to grow up amidst difficulties, you will never become a master if you are obsessed like me, don't waste his painstaking efforts."

Luo Fei suddenly asked, "Has Mr. Wang mentioned the famous paintings to you?"

Lin Zai nodded emphatically: "To be honest, I have also heard a lot of rumors. One time, I asked Mr. Wang while he was in a good mood. He laughed a lot and replied, 'I am only in this mountain'. I asked him again, but he refused to talk about it, and then I didn’t dare to bring up the topic of famous paintings.”

At this moment, Xiaoman pushed the door open and entered: "I just saw Wang Dashan dragging that Lawyer Liu downstairs, have you finished the interrogation?"

Luo Fei and Javert exchanged glances.

Javert immediately said to Lin Zaizhong: "You can go, we will look for you again if necessary."

Lin Zai nodded his head, slowly got up and left, Xiaoman then closed the door vigilantly.

Javert said with a stern expression: "This guy is young, and his words are tight. Judging from the way of murder, I think he is more suspicious."

"Hmm...it's a bit strange." Luo Fei nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, how did you go with the interrogation?"

Xiaoman shook his head, as if there was no progress: "The rest of the servants have alibi. In addition, it was found that Charlie Wang also has a security team responsible for the daily patrol of the villa. They said that they did not find any outsiders breaking into the house. signs."

"Such a big place really needs someone to guard it, and now it has been fulfilled. The murderer is in the villa." Javert said.

"Security team? They must have the floor plan of the villa, that's great! Xiaoman, hurry up and take me there!" Luo Fei excitedly pulled Xiaoman up and walked out the door.

"Then I'll call the higher-ups to report the situation here, and I'll meet you later." Javert immediately urged.

Afterwards, Luo Fei and Xiaoman walked out of the room and walked towards the exit of the corridor.

"What do you want a floor plan for?" Xiaoman asked Luo Fei.

Luo Fei blinked at Xiaoman excitedly: "Charlie Wang has never denied the existence and value of the famous painting from the beginning to the end, and his death is largely related to this painting. We must find this painting before the murderer. A painting, maybe the mystery in my heart can be solved.”

Immediately afterwards, the two went down from the corridor to the first floor, came to the security room, and began to question the security guards of the villa.

Afterwards, Captain Huang of the security team and the three young security guards explained the situation to Luo Fei and Xiao Man with regret on their faces.

Captain Huang, who spoke Henan dialect, spoke first: "When something like this happens, our security team deserves death, and I, the security captain, deserve death."

Luo Fei held back his smile and waved his hand: "Don't apologize in a hurry, tell me about the layout of the villa, do you have a floor plan?"

"Okay, I'll find it for you right away." Captain Huang said as he turned around and took out a blueprint from the cabinet and handed it to Luo Fei, "The whole house is built on the mountain, facing south, and the bottom is where you all hold banquets. The lobby consists of east, west and north buildings, the largest in the east is the private area of ​​the master; the second in the west is the private area of ​​the second master, and the smallest in the north is the guest room and various functional rooms; Every day from midnight to [-]:[-] a.m., there will be a vigil in each building."

Luo Fei looked at the map, then looked up at the three young security guards: "You three are in charge of patrolling?"

"I'm looking at the master's side. During the whole time I was on duty, no one came in or out." Said the security guard on the left.

Luo Fei then shifted his gaze to the security guard standing in the middle, and the security guard immediately explained: "I'm looking at the second master's side. I was just trained by the captain yesterday during the day, so I go to work early at night, at eleven o'clock It's almost time to arrive at the post, and it didn't take long to see the second master coming back alone, it seems that he was drunk, and then the second master came out just now."

After the person in the middle finished speaking, the security guard on the right also said: "There are quite a few people walking around in the building on my side, but I didn't find anything unusual."

Luo Fei said and put away the floor plan: "Lend me this map first, you guys must watch the cable car, and don't let anyone go down the mountain."

Captain Huang immediately agreed: "Medium!"

Afterwards, Luo Fei and Xiao Man walked out of the villa.Luo Fei stood in front of the villa, holding the blueprints, looking at them.

"Have you found out the hiding place of the famous painting?" Xiaoman asked.

"It must be in the villa. There may be another secret room, which is not marked in the floor plan." Luo Fei sighed.

Xiaoman pursed her lips tightly: "Then how do I find it?"

Luo Fei immediately glanced at Xiaoman, revealing a mysterious smile.

Then, the two returned to Charlie Wang's bedroom.

Butler He led Luo Fei and Xiao Man to open the door: "Two detectives, I leave the key to you first. I'll go and see if the cable car has been repaired."

Luo Fei took the key and led Xiaoman into the room.Luo Fei walked quickly to the desk, found a collection of Xu Xiake's poems, and kept flipping through them.After a while, Luo Fei opened the drawer again, found a notebook, and opened the title page.

Xiaoman leaned over and saw two lines of poems written on it: It is from a famous mountain that can be learned, and the smallpox is as good as it is.

Before Xiaoman could figure it out, Luo Fei started flipping through the notebook again and again.

Xiaoman looked at Luo Fei suspiciously: "Xu Xiake is also an explorer, do you think there is a mystery in this?"

"It seems that Wang Charlie not only likes to explore, but also likes to guess riddles." Luo Fei was talking, when he suddenly saw a dark shadow outside the door from the corner of his eye.Luo Fei ran out quickly, but there was no one there.

"What's the matter?" Xiaoman immediately followed and asked.

"I always feel that someone is watching us secretly." Luo Fei looked at the empty corridor and said in a low voice.

Xiaoman immediately became alert: "Could it be the murderer?"

Luo Fei muttered to himself in ecstasy: "I want to find famous paintings through me...Okay, then I will follow your wishes."

Luo Fei withdrew his thoughts, snorted coldly, and turned to Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, take your poetry collection and notebook with you."

Xiaoman then put the things into his bag.

So, Luo Fei took the floor plan and led Xiaoman through the corridors of the villa.After walking around a corner, he suddenly saw in the distance that Wang Dashan was entangled with Chen Shuang again, and the two were arguing fiercely.

Luo Fei and Xiaoman quickly approached them.

"You two, what's the matter?" Luo Fei asked as they separated.

But Wang Dashan and Chen Shuang said in unison, "It's okay!"

Wang Dashan loosened Chen Shuang's clothes: "Aren't you investigating the cause of my elder brother's death? Have you found out? Is there someone who murdered him for money? You arrest him quickly, or I'm afraid the murderer will attack me again! "

Wang Dashan glared at Chen Shuang while speaking.

Chen Shuang loosened his collar: "Mr. Xiao Wang, Mr. Wang passed away suddenly. I can understand your feelings, but don't mess around. I am your elder brother's guest."

"Hmph! My eldest brother is blind and invites you." Wang Dashan pointed at Chen Shuang, Luo Fei, and Xiaoman, and cursed viciously, "Okay, okay, I'm going to find Butler He is discussing my elder brother's funeral, once the cable car is repaired, all of you, get out of here immediately!"

Xiaoman was a little angry, but was held down by Luo Fei.After Wang Dashan walked away, Chen Shuang shook his head helplessly at Luo Fei and Xiaoman: "The Wang family is going to be destroyed by this prodigal son, two detectives, then I will take my leave first."

Luo Fei watched Chen Shuang walk away, then glanced at the floor plan, and pointed to the various places to look for something.After a while, Xiaoman saw that his finger finally landed on an unmarked space in the middle of the three east, west, north buildings.

Luo Fei couldn't help frowning: "There should be space here, but why is there no mark?"

Xiaoman looked surprised, and immediately covered her mouth and said to Luo Fei in a muffled voice, "Could it be the location of the secret room?"

Luo Fei smiled slightly: "Go and see!"

After Luo Fei and Qin Xiaoman rushed to the top of the North Building, they found a wall at the end of the corridor.

Luo Fei knocked hard on the wall, then looked down at the spatial map of the mansion in his hand: "It's here, there's nothing wrong with it."

Qin Xiaoman looked at the map with a puzzled expression: "We have already been to the relative positions of the three buildings, and they are all dead ends."

"The walls here are very thick, and you can't tell if you knock hard." Luo Fei stared at the wall in a daze.

"Are you sure there is space here?" Xiaoman asked Luo Fei back.

"There must be, this is a triangular prism, the three sides are dead, and the bottom is empty, so if there is an entrance, it must be on the top! Let's go to the top!" Luo Fei pulled Xiaoman up to the sky Taiwan ran.

The roof of the villa in the north building is spacious, and the floor is paved with neat marble tiles.

After watching it, Qin Xiaoman said to Luo Fei with a wry smile: "The view here is wider, and you don't even have to knock on the wall."

"We are standing on the top floor now, and the bottom of the triangular prism should be under our feet." After Luo Fei finished speaking, he walked to the center of the roof, bowed his head and started searching around.

"You mean, the entrance is on the ground?" Xiaoman asked while imitating Luo Fei and searching the ground.

"Almost." Luo Fei looked at the floor tiles intently.

The two searched for a while, and Luo Fei suddenly made a silent gesture to Xiaoman.Afterwards, Luo Fei walked across the floor tiles in an S-shaped pace.Xiaoman immediately imitated his example and walked one by one the floor tiles that Luo Fei walked by.For a moment, leather shoes and high-heeled shoes alternately made crisp sounds on the floor tiles.

When the two walked up and down on a floor tile in the center of the hall, the sound of footsteps suddenly became much more empty.Luo Fei stopped immediately, stepped on a few floor tiles around him, and then stepped on the floor tiles under his feet again.Luo Fei and Xiaoman looked at each other, and they squatted down to check at the same time.Luo Fei glanced at Xiaoman, and suddenly took the hairpin off her head without any explanation.

"Lend me this."

Xiaoman blushed, and was about to scold Luo Fei, but seeing Luo Fei earnestly looking for the entrance, she held back and gave up.

At this time, Luo Fei had already inserted the pointed end of the hairpin into the crack of the brick, and then forced it up, and the floor tile was immediately lifted.Immediately afterwards, the two worked together to lift the floor tiles away, and what finally appeared in front of them was a staircase that slanted toward the darkness.

"I really found the secret room!" Xiaoman looked at Luo Fei excitedly.

Luo Fei lit a match and threw it down the stairs.The match was still burning as it fell.

"The amount of oxygen is not bad." Luo Fei nodded, then turned to Xiaoman and said, "I'll go down first, and you can go down if there's no problem."

Xiaoman nodded nervously: "Be careful."

Afterwards, Luo Fei lit the lighter and walked down the stairs step by step.Xiaoman looked at Luo Fei, who was holding a faint flame, gradually being engulfed by the darkness, only heard the faint echo of footsteps, and his heart suddenly hung up!
After a while, Luo Fei's voice came from the darkness: "Come down!"

Xiaoman couldn't wait to jump down the stairs immediately, suddenly her feet slipped, and she disappeared into the darkness.
