Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Chapter 290 White Snake welcomes guests, nine-man game

After driving on the rugged mountain road for nearly an hour, the process was so bumpy that it made people break into cold sweats. Now Chen Yi and the others understood why Zhong Muping chose such an unconventional off-road vehicle.

Ordinary vehicles may not be able to get up there, and they can easily break down halfway up the mountain.

Chen Yi couldn't help complaining in his heart at this moment. It would be fine if he didn't build a ropeway. Can't he even build the road?

Nowadays, the country's infrastructure is so developed that as long as you can afford it, an elevated highway can be built directly from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and you can reach there directly with just one step of the accelerator.

It can even hollow out the mountain, and the vertical elevator goes directly to the entrance door.

Only if you can't think of it, no architect can do it.

When the engine roared and the vehicle climbed up a high steep slope, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear, and the manor located among the high mountains was revealed in front of everyone.

The ground below the building is not flat, but still a continuous steep slope, but the architect who designed the manor is very clever. The entire manor and the top of the mountain are like a complex mortise and tenon structure, perfectly inlaid together.

On the surface, the foundation seems to be a problem, but it must have been solved, otherwise it would not be possible to build. It is hard to say whether it can withstand earthquakes, but at least it can withstand high-level winds.

The vehicle stopped at the door and several people got out of the car. The temperature in the mountains was even lower, so Fang Shuyu couldn't help but tighten her clothes.

Beside him, Chen Yi looked up and looked ahead. The perfect crystallization of nature and human wisdom was extremely impactful.

The manor is built on the mountain, making clever use of the ups and downs and directions of the mountain, and making every inch of land play its due role.

If you look at it from a distance, you can imagine how majestic the manor is, standing in the clouds like a castle.

The style is hard to tell, it should be a combination of Chinese and European styles.

"Fuck!"

Jiang Fanlei couldn't describe it. He could only say "Fuck". He felt that this time it was really not in vain and he had learned a lot.

Compared with the manor in front of me, the island in the middle of the lake in Yangcheng is simply a thatched house.

How was this built?

The mountain road is so difficult to walk that it is difficult for several people to get up, let alone transport so many stones.

Helicopter?

How many helicopters are needed?

Fang Shuyu was also shocked. She was shocked by the architecture for the first time. She didn't expect that there was such a magical place in this corner of the country.

The owner of the manor is extraordinary, and the person who built the manor is even more extraordinary.

She smelled money, it must be in hundreds of millions.

"How did you do it?" Fang Shuyu asked Chen Yi in a low voice.

Chen Yi looked at the manor in front of him and shook his head slightly: "I don't know, this is human wisdom. There is always a way."

In front of the dark manor, everyone became very small, like a ferocious beast looking down at the weak food, as if it would open its bloody mouth in the next second.

"Guys, please."

Zhong Muping smiled and led Chen Yi and the others into the tall iron gate.

The door is unlocked and carved with exquisite patterns, solemn and mysterious.

When passing through the iron gate, a wide stone road leads directly to the depths of the manor. It is lined with trees and flower beds that are still lush in winter. Unfortunately, the flowers in the flower beds have withered and the dead leaves are flying, adding a decayed atmosphere to the yard.

Chen Yi walked slowly. Inside, he could already feel the vastness of the manor, like a small kingdom standing on the top of Mount E.

From a distance, all the buildings are well-proportioned and have different styles. As seen outside the gate, there are both modern glass curtain walls and classical European three-dimensional lines.

Against the background of rocks and trees, these buildings are particularly eye-catching and have a strong sense of contrast.

In addition, the well-designed landscape in the park also adds a lot of points, including ponds, running water, and even small waterfalls.

After walking for a few minutes, the four of them arrived at the main building. The highest-altitude building stood out among the entire manor and mountains. It was elegant and luxurious in design. Whether it was the tall stone pillars or the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, they all demonstrated the owner's taste and financial resources.

This can no longer be called architecture, but a work of art that captures the sky.

Natural and humanistic elements have completely transformed the steep mountain top into a rare paradise on earth.

After the shock, Chen Yi felt a bit of depression, brought by the building and Zhong Muping in front of him.

Anyone who suddenly comes to a place like this without psychological preparation will definitely not have a happy first reaction.

"Does Mr. Zhong come here often?"

In front of the gate, Chen Yi asked one last question, and he saw the other party's calmness.

Zhong Muping was about to knock on the door, but when he heard this, he turned around and smiled: "No, it's my first time too, but I've seen photos and videos, and Shiran gave me a detailed route."

Chen Yi said oh and stopped talking.

There was a knock on the door, and soon the door to the main building opened, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching from far away.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man, wearing a noble tuxedo, with his hair neatly combed and a bow tied at his collar.

This outfit gave Chen Yi and the others an inexplicable sense of time travel, as if they had arrived at a foreign aristocratic mansion in the last century.

"Mr. Zhong Muping Zhong?" The man smiled warmly.

The smiles made Fang Shuyu and Jiang Fanlei feel at ease. If the other party was expressionless, it would be a bit scary to match the architectural environment.

Zhong Muping nodded: "Yes."

After receiving confirmation, the man turned sideways and said, "Please come in, Miss Chen and the others are already waiting."

Zhong Muping: "Okay, thank you."

Following Zhong Muping's footsteps, the three of them entered the main building. Almost at the same time, their first action was to raise their heads.

The tall main building is actually hollow, and the dark roof ceiling is frozen there in the distance, giving people a dizzying mystery.

The stairs are on the side of the building, and the rooms are on the side of the building. This is the architectural style of the tower, which is hollow inside and surrounded by outer walls.

The front is not the living room, it's just the entrance hall. The way into the living room is also on the side, separated by a huge stone painting, and covered with blankets on the left and right.

Hiss!

Suddenly, a harsh and strange sound sounded, and the three of them all looked away and looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

On the ground, two small white snakes spit out snake bites and crawled in an S shape, staring at them with cold eyes.

Fang Shuyu, the only woman among the group, was immediately startled and quickly approached Chen Yi.

Why is there a snake in the room?

"I go!"

Jiang Fanlei wasn't that brave. There were very few snakes that he was not afraid of. Just like spiders, they were born with a deterrent effect. Even Zhong Muping, who had always remained calm, stepped back in shock, and then looked at the man in the tuxedo: "What's going on? Why are there snakes in this winter? They're still in the house!"

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, shouldn't they hibernate in winter?

The man in the tuxedo was not surprised. He smiled and stepped forward, picked up the white snake with one hand and played with it. He said, "Sir, I like raising small animals. I'm sorry to scare the guests. Don't worry. They are not poisonous and very docile. They are here to welcome the distinguished guests." .”

Zhong Muping was silent.

It seemed like it was really his first time here.

The man's words made Jiang Fanlei's eyes tremble, and he suddenly regretted: "You call it a small animal?"

The other party asked back: "Isn't it an animal? It is alive, and anything alive is called an animal."

Jiang Fanlei couldn't refute.

Chen Yi looked at the white snake swimming in the man's hands and said, "This is the first time I have encountered a white snake welcoming guests. I wonder who the gentleman you are talking about is?"

The man did not answer. He turned and walked towards the living room at the end of the carpet road. A voice came: "Please take a seat, distinguished guests."

Jiang Fanlei pulled Chen Yi: "Hey, this place is weird and the people are weird. Have we traveled through time?"

Chen Yi glanced at him sideways: "There are simple and easy-to-understand reasons behind everything. Don't be deceived by its appearance. Buildings, people, and snakes are all things that exist on the planet. Where can we travel?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fanlei mumbled something in a low voice, but Chen Yi didn't hear it clearly.

Zhong Muping reacted and said: "Captain Chen...oh no, Mr. Chen, let's go in."

Chen Yi nodded.

When he came to the stone painting, Chen Yi took a casual look. The painting on it was a beautiful vision of the harmonious existence of humans and animals. It was originally a very happy and peaceful meaning, but it was destroyed by the biggest variable.

This variable is that all the people and animals in the painting, without exception, are bones.

A beautiful painting turned into a weird painting in an instant.

"Depend on!"

Jiang Fanlei looked away and cursed secretly, feeling more and more regretful in his heart. His sense of curiosity was satisfied, but in exchange for this, he was left with a psychological shadow that needed a long time to heal.

He had no choice but to settle down as he came, and he couldn't propose to go down the mountain immediately.

Go on by yourself?

Beyond the stone paintings, what comes into view is the dazzling crystal chandelier, which illuminates the entire room like the sun.

But... the style of painting is wrong again. The shape of each light bulb holder of the crystal chandelier is an animal skull, and each one is different.

What attracts the most attention are the hangings on the high walls on the left and right sides, which are models of human skeletons.

I won’t list the other details one by one, but in short, the style of the entire living room is very dark.

Everyone has their own preferences. Some people yearn for light, while others pursue darkness. What I’m talking about here is the decoration style and has nothing to do with people.

In the middle of the large living room is a sofa surrounded by a modern solid wood coffee table. On the coffee table is an open bottle of red wine.

Four people were sitting there, each holding a glass of red wine in their hands.

"Mu Ping, why did you bring so many people with you? Aren't you only allowed to bring one?"

The woman's voice sounded, containing dissatisfaction.

Chen Yi and the others looked over. The woman put down her wine glass and stood up, walking over in high heels.

"Beautiful!"

Jiang Fanlei's eyes widened, and he had an extremely amazing feeling in reality for the second time. The first time was when he met Fang Shuyu.

The opponent's appearance and figure can almost catch up with Fang Shuyu. At this level, it is impossible to clearly distinguish between superior and inferior. It can only be said that each has its own merits.

Fang Shuyu is a royal-sister-type girl next door, more plain and simple, while the one in front of her has a domineering and cold-hearted type with flaming red lips. The contrast is obvious.

If nothing else, this should be Zhong Muping's wife Chen Shiran, her temperament and name are so different.

What a blessing.

As a man, Jiang Fanlei inevitably felt a little envious.

Faced with the woman's question, Zhong Muping quickly stepped forward to explain.

"Oh?" The woman looked at Chen Yi in surprise, "Young master of Dongzhou Chen Group? I'm sorry, please sit down. By coincidence, my surname is Chen, too. My name is Chen Shiran."

"Hello, Ms. Chen, nice to meet you."

Chen Yi didn't care about the interlude, and he and Fang Shuyu and Jiang Fanlei stepped forward and took their seats.

Not far away, the man in a tuxedo took out a bottle of red wine again and uncorked it skillfully.

"It should be a butler-like role."

Chen Yi judged in his mind and glanced at the others.

Except Chen Shiran, the other three are two men and one woman, ranging in age from their twenties to their forties or fifties, two are young and one is older.

"We are all here, there are two more than expected, but it doesn't matter, everyone who comes is a guest. Welcome to Eying Yunlu Manor."

After the red wine was poured, Chen Shiran's voice sounded.

Chen Yi glanced at the red wine sloshing in the glass in front of him and knew that the next step would be to introduce himself.

"Ms. Chen, are there only eight of us in the entire manor?" one of the older men asked.

Chen Shiran nodded: "Yes, nine people to be precise, and the butler Jiuxiang. He has been living here and has not left the mountain for many years."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned his head, and others also looked over.

Facing the gazes of several people, the man in the tuxedo smiled and bowed. Although he was a butler, his gestures gave people a sense of nobility. If he were not a relative, his salary would be very high.

"Nine-person bureau..."

Chen Yi's thinking has not stopped. If Jiuxiang said he was a husband before, then the owner of the manor must not be Chen Shiran. She has a mere tens of millions of dollars and she does not have the ability.

Then she acts like a master, what is her relationship with the owner of the manor?

Eyingyunlu, this name is really well chosen, it suits the occasion.
