Chapter 114: The Hongmen Banquet



Wutun Village!

The suspect's residence!

Watch the trace inspectors checking the aluminum alloy door or climbing the ladder to the bungalow.

The police officers were very excited.

Before, everyone was hesitant as to whether this shadow puppet artist was a leather maker.

And now, it is basically certain that this is the residence of the leatherworker.

After all, who would have the time to set up a trap on the door?!

Nearly twenty minutes later!

The director of the Trace Inspection Office found Shao Ming:

"Team Leader, although there is a mechanism on the door, it's not dangerous.

Do you want to trigger it and see what happens, or just disable it?"

Shao Ming looked at Liu Huiming.

Liu Huiming said directly: "Every special behavior of the criminal can be used as a basis to explain the criminal's character.

Since there's no danger, let's trigger it and see!"

The director of the Trace Inspection nodded: "Xiao Zhou, come open the door!"

Uh, why me again?

I don't want to watch the door!

Xiao Zhou felt a little dizzy.

Snap~~~

Squeak~~~

He pressed the doorknob and pushed it inward.

Rub, rub, rub, rub~~~

Accompanied by dense mechanism trigger sounds.

"Pah~~"

The sound of the wake-up stick hitting the table startled all the police officers.

"Dear audience, let's talk about the Hongmen Banquet, with its flashing swords and shadows!

The Overlord of Chu sat high on a tiger-skin chair, glancing sideways at Liu Bang as he entered the tent. He slammed his wine cup onto the wooden table in front of him with a thunderous thud:

"Pei Gong, who is the King of Guanzhong?"

Although Liu Bang had already developed the aura of a dragon, he still couldn't help sweating profusely when facing the Overlord..."

The sound of storytelling resounded in the yard.

The police officers immediately recognized that this was the content of "The Banquet at Hongmen".

At the northernmost end of the yard, opposite the aluminum alloy gate, a white curtain fell along with the storytelling.

Lights come on behind the cloth!

The shadows of several puppets were cast onto the curtain.

The scene looks like a large military tent.

The person in the central position, raising the cup and drinking alone, was obviously the Overlord Xiang Yu.

In front of him was a dense crowd of armored soldiers.

Although it was a dead shadow puppet, the police officers could faintly feel a hint of dominance from Xiang Yu.

His body shape, movements, etc. are obviously different from other shadow puppets.

Moreover, the shadow puppet performance and the storytelling sound are well coordinated when Liu Bang and Zhang Liang enter the account, Xiang Yu questions, etc.

Then an old man was seen raising the jade pendant three times, and a soldier came out with a sword and danced with it in the tent.

The sword flashed fiercely and stabbed at Liu Bang's throat many times.

Another soldier came into the arena and danced with Xiang Zhuang.

The accompanying storytelling in this section is exactly where Fan Zeng raises the jade pendant to signal Xiang Zhuang to dance with a sword, and Xiang Bo stops him.

Then, as the two swords clashed, a bearded puppet rushed in holding a shield.

It’s Fan Kuai!

He glared at the Overlord and ate pork raw.

Zhang Liang and Liu Bang took the opportunity to escape...

The plot of "The Banquet at Hongmen" was briefly performed on that screen.

The police officers were bewildered.

They can confirm that the level of this shadow play is absolutely very high.

There are all kinds of characters, some are domineering, some are majestic, and some are fierce.

The atmosphere is also very good!

The tension in the situation, like walking on a tightrope on a cliff, is also portrayed very well.

But precisely because of this, the police officers became even more confused.

"What's the meaning?"

"What's the point of playing 'The Banquet at Hongmen'?"

"The Banquet at Hongmen generally refers to a situation where someone appears friendly on the surface, but harbors murderous intent.

Does that mean there are other dangers in the house?"

"That's not right. If the owner of the house had set up other dangers, why would he set up the Hongmen Banquet specifically to warn us?

Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart?"

"So what does this shadow puppet artist mean?"

While the police officers were puzzled, Xiao Gao, the trace inspection officer from Chaoyang District, reminded them in a hoarse voice:

"Pay attention, the mechanism is not over yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound!

A black shadow suddenly fell from the glass roof covering the yard.

Although they were mentally prepared, the police officers were still shocked.

When I looked closely, I realized that those black shadows were all leather puppets.

However, they were all hung upside down.

There are so many of them, at least hundreds of them.

Each of them had their legs tied with ropes, and like Su Kexin, they were hung upside down on the glass ceiling.

When it fell to a height of one person, the puppet stopped and hung there upside down, shaking up and down.

Their right hands were also hung up by thin strings.

With the vibration, it seemed as if waving and greeting the police officers outside the aluminum alloy.

at the same time!

Some shadow puppets also continued to fall to the ground.

When the officers looked, they saw that they were all heads of leather puppets.

Moreover, it has obviously been modified.

Leather puppets should be colorful.

But these heads were all blood red, even their hair was blood red.

The eyes were also enlarged, with a ring of even richer scarlet around the edges.

The mouth was also changed to look like it was laughing with its corners pulled to the sides.

Hundreds of leather puppet heads fell to the ground, forming a pool of blood.

It was more similar to the scene in the wooden house where Su Kexin's body was hung upside down, but also more bizarre!

The original storytelling-like sound ended after the performance of "The Banquet at Hongmen" was completed.

At this moment, another somewhat evil voice suddenly sounded:

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome~~

Welcome, welcome, warm welcome~~

Welcome, welcome, warm welcome~~~"

The voice was very hoarse, like that of a terminally ill old man.
