Chapter 199 It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go
There are certain risks involved with being a private detective, let alone someone like them who would take on murder cases.
Eric would not commit suicide unless he had no other choice.
Unless the risk would be greater if he lived.
She sent the information she received to Ding Lili and Qin Lei respectively.
As long as the three of them figure out what this number means, there will be progress.
And Xu Ge had a hunch that this string of numbers must be related to the actress named Mei.
According to the three people's inference, this number is very likely a password, or it is very likely a room number.
So the three of them started with these two guesses.
As a maid, Ding Lili had the best chance of finding the room. She went up to the fourth floor and identified the room with this number.
When she was about to go in to clean, she found that the door was locked.
"Don't clean this room, go clean the others."
The housekeeper looked at her expressionlessly, and Ding Lili turned around and nodded. After all, she had just arrived and was on shift to change floors. She didn't know that this room didn't need to be cleaned.
Ding Lili quickly told the two of them the news.
Xu Ge decided to go check it out again at night.
"But the problem is, that room is locked, and it's not an electronic lock, it's a very old anti-theft lock, which is extremely complicated to open, and this is what Qin Lei is best at."
Ding Lili is good at network security and computer operation, while Qin Lei is good at tracking and various unlocking.
"I'll find a chance to try it tonight."
Xu Ge was silent for a long time before he said, "Be careful, safety first, remember?"
"rest assured."
Xu Ge sat on the chair until the evening. She couldn't feel at ease in such a high-pressure environment.
Everyone here is equipped with a pistol, and a small bullet can take their life.
Finally, Xu Ge stood up and decided to do something.
So she went and knocked on Bruce's door.
Bruce smiled when he saw her in her nightgown, "Good evening, Teacher Xu."
Xu Ge nodded slightly, "I'm sorry to bother Mr. Bruce so late."
Bruce stepped aside very gentlemanly and said, "Teacher Xu, please come in. I haven't rested yet."
"OK."
This was the first time Xu Ge entered Bruce's room. She walked around the room as quickly as possible and found nothing special about it.
"Mr. Bruce, I've thought about it seriously during the day. I can stay, but I want one day of rest every week. When I say rest, I mean not staying in the Lusen family. I need freedom to move around. Is that okay?"
Bruce thought about it and nodded, "Okay, that's not too much to ask."
Xu Ge smiled then, and showed a hint of surprise when he saw the wine on his coffee table.
"Mr. Bruce also drinks white wine?"
Bruce walked over and picked up the bottle, shrugged and said, "A friend gave it to me. I think it's pretty good."
Xu Ge walked a little closer and took a look, somewhat surprised. "This wine is produced in my hometown. It contains many precious Chinese medicinal herbs. It is a medicinal wine. It is harmless to the body and has the effect of nourishing the body. Your friend has good taste."
Bruce poured her a glass of wine and handed it to her, "It seems that Teacher Xu misses her hometown. Do you want to try it?"
Xu Ge is like
My heart is moved.
He nodded, said thank you and took the glass.
The wine is strong.
Xu Ge couldn't help but frown after taking a sip.
Bruce seems to be in a good mood.
The two of them chatted relaxedly while drinking.
The chats are basically about the local customs and practices in China.
Xu Ge is a good storyteller, and he tells stories vividly.
Bruce listened attentively and was somewhat yearning. "Oh, that's a really great place. If I have the chance, I must visit Teacher Xu's hometown."
"Okay, I'll be Mr. Bruce's tour guide then."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, "Sir!"
Xu Ge's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason and he turned around to look over.
Bruce kept smiling, as if he was used to this sudden situation. He just said sorry.
Xu Ge also put it down and stood up from the sofa.
"Sir, someone went to the fourth floor, but they ran away. They must be in the castle. Do you want to look for them?"
When Xu Ge heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he clenched his fists. Qin Lei was discovered.
"Did you find it?" Bruce asked gently.
"His arm is injured. We must find it."
Xu Ge closed his eyes, and upon seeing this, he immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Mr. Bruce, please go ahead and do your work. It's getting late, and I should go back and rest."
Bruce smiled and nodded, moving aside to let her leave the room.
After returning to the room, Xu Ge immediately contacted Ding Lili.
Ding Lili panicked when she heard this.
After Xu Ge calmed down, he came up with a way to temporarily save Qin Lei's life.
The two immediately contacted Qin Lei and confirmed that his right arm was indeed cut by a knife.
Fortunately, it was a knife wound. If it was a bullet grazed, he would have been dead.
Just as the Lusen family was preparing to search, the castle suddenly fell into darkness.
At the same time, there were several screams, both male and female.
In just a minute, all the lights in the castle came on again.
"Sir, the wires were burned due to aging circuits. We have activated the backup power as quickly as possible."
Bruce nodded, adjusting the buttons of his shirt.
"I'll see what happens this afternoon. I hope to clear the house of cockroaches and garbage before my father comes back."
"Yes, sir."
All the people in the castle, regardless of gender, were gathered together. Some of them had painful expressions on their faces, covering their arms and crying out in pain.
Bruce couldn't help but smile at this, "Very smart guy."
Xu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but she also understood that doing so would only buy a little time.
These people will be checked one by one.
Bruce ordered all those with injured arms, regardless of gender, to be locked up in the underground prison.
After a day and a night of interrogation, there was still no result.
Xu Ge knew that Qin Lei must have suffered some physical pain, and she no longer cared about where 4305 and the body of the actress named Mei were.
But before she could come up with a solution, Ding Lili ran into the kitchen with a look of horror on her face, looked around vigilantly before speaking to her.
"I just went downstairs to deliver food and heard someone suggesting to Bruce that we should clear out all those people. What should we do now?"
Xu Ge's face suddenly darkened. He didn't expect the Lu Sen family to be so inhumane.
That night, Xu Ge saw Bruce and after careful consideration, he asked him how he was going to deal with those people.
Bruce smiled gently and said to her, "I remember you have an old saying: It's better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go. Is that right?"
Xu Ge almost couldn't hold back and slapped her, but she just shook her head, looking reluctant.
After returning to the room, Xu Ge contacted Ding Lili, and the two planned to make a bet at night to rescue someone.
As long as Qin Lei escapes danger, that group of people will naturally be cleared of all charges and will naturally be safe.
Xu Ge didn't have any tools, so he could only intercept it on the spot.
There is still only half an hour.
Just as Xu Ge was about to take action, a dazzling light suddenly reflected into the room.
