The short, thin man was stunned for a moment, then he shouted in a timid tone, "Why do you say that's my blood? Do you have any evidence?"
Before Xiao Tangqiu could speak, the elusive housekeeper suddenly appeared at the door of the room. She glanced at the short and thin man coldly and said, "You have damaged the master's puppet. You will be punished!"
The short, thin man's expression changed immediately, and he shouted viciously, "What's so special about this broken puppet? It's broken, so what! It's not a treasure!"
The housekeeper looked at the short and thin man coldly without saying anything. The short and thin man was so frightened that his face turned pale and blue, but he still stubbornly shouted, "It's just a broken puppet! Are you still planning to blackmail me? I tell you, I have no money! You want to blackmail me for money? It's impossible in this lifetime!"
At this moment, several maids walked in from behind the housekeeper. The short, thin man was startled and immediately looked at them with a look of vigilance. However, they just cleaned up like ordinary maids. Faced with this room that looked like a crime scene, they wiped the blood off the floor without blinking, and then calmly picked up the severed hand.
"Give me back my hand!"
Seeing that the maids seemed to want to throw away his severed hand, the short and thin man immediately pounced over and snatched the severed hand back.
The maids continued to clean up the bloodstains. Although their movements were a little stiff, they were very skillful and cleaned the room in a short while.
The housekeeper carefully picked up the small golden axe and walked to the puppet. The next second, something strange happened - the puppet's hand, which was originally drooping naturally, was raised up and turned into a posture holding an axe. The housekeeper put the golden axe back, then looked coldly at the short and thin man, and left with the maids.
"That's exactly what the puppet looked like!" the office lady exclaimed. "That's how it was holding the axe when I entered the room!"
At this time, the puppet on the table had completely changed its appearance. Although it still had pigtails and wore a little skirt, the way it held the axe in both hands looked very strange, especially the blood on the axe.
"Shut up!" The short and thin man glared at the female white-collar worker.
The female office worker also cursed: "You are a thief!"
Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the short and thin man had been holding his thigh for a long time. He subconsciously touched the hemostatic agent in his pocket, and sure enough, the hemostatic agent was gone.
"You stole my hemostatic agent?" He looked at the short and thin man coldly.
The short, thin man's lips trembled as he immediately retorted viciously, "Don't even think about framing me!"
The middle-aged man also subconsciously touched his pocket, and soon he shouted: "Where's my wallet? You bastard! Did you steal my wallet?"
Seeing this, the others also reacted and felt their pockets. Soon, they all shouted, "Where's my wallet?"
"My wallet is missing too!"
"That guy must have stolen it!"
"I didn't, didn't!" The short and thin man's face suddenly turned purple, but the next moment he was thrown to the ground by everyone, and then many things were taken out of his arms.
“This is my wallet!”
"My wallet! And my gold chain!"
"Damn thief! Kill him!"
After getting their things back, the owners were still full of anger and started punching and kicking the man, making him wail. But the louder he screamed, the harder those people beat him. Later, even those who had not had their things stolen joined in the venting of their anger, punching and kicking him.
The short and thin man was beaten and curled up into a ball, but he still protected his broken hand tightly.
After Xiao Tangqiu retrieved his hemostatic agent, he saw this scene and couldn't help but frown: "If you hit him again, he will be killed."
The furious people refused to listen to any advice. Perhaps to vent their anger, perhaps to vent their fear, they continued to punch and kick for a while until the female office worker screamed, "It's a ghost! The ghost is coming!"
Everyone felt as if they were drenched in ice water, gradually calmed down, and looked at the female white-collar worker.
The female office worker pointed at the puppet on the cabinet with a trembling finger: "Puppet... the puppet's posture has changed again..."
Everyone looked in the direction the white-collar woman's hand was taking, and suddenly they felt a chill all over their bodies. They didn't know when the puppet had raised the axe. It had originally held the axe with both hands, but now it held the axe high up, as if it was ready to chop down at any time.
The strangest thing was that the puppet, which had originally been facing the center of the room, had now turned slightly and was facing them, with the raised axe also pointing in their direction.
They were immediately frightened and scattered, and suddenly only the short and thin man was left where the puppet's axe was pointing.
The short and thin man had been beaten half unconscious. He curled up weakly on the ground, holding his broken hand and trembling all over.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the moment everyone dispersed, the corners of the puppet's mouth seemed to curl up slightly...
The two blue eyes of the puppet seemed to be glowing with a strange light under the candlelight.
The puppet was too weird, and someone else's hand was broken for no apparent reason. With the previous experience as a lesson, everyone naturally didn't dare to stay in this room any longer. They looked at each other for a while, and suddenly someone said, "Let's go quickly! There's nothing in this room anyway!" Miaomiao said.
That person was quickly echoed by the others. The middle-aged man spat at the short, thin man lying on the ground, "I'll let you go this time! You're lucky! If you dare to do something dirty again next time, we're so many people and we'll beat you to death!"
The short and thin man was beaten with blood all over his face. He couldn't even utter a complete sentence and could only whimper in fear. The middle-aged man kicked him hard again before leaving with the crowd.
In a blink of an eye, the only people left in the room were Xiao Tangqiu, Tang Mianmian, Lu Sier, and a short and thin man lying on the ground who was unable to get up.
"Should we leave too?" Lu Si'er asked Xiao Tangqiu timidly.
"Search this room first," Xiao Tangqiu glanced at the puppet, "Don't touch that thing. Be careful."
Lu Si'er asked doubtfully, "Didn't the others search this room? They said there was nothing in it."
