Chapter 158 When should a record be played
Booz saw Kevin's death, his face turned pale, and he leaned against the wall as if he had collapsed.
Zhou Bai looked at him, then lowered his eyes.
Buzz would have such a reaction, so he should be a soft-hearted person in the first place.
It's just that those bows and arrows shot at Kevin's body, and some of them stuck into the wooden cabinet.
It can be seen that when he set up these organs, he was determined to kill.
What made Boots set up these cruel traps?
Zhou Bai turned his gaze to the small door next to the stone staircase.
Perhaps, it is to protect more important people.
Zhou Bai clenched the ax in his hand.
What about himself? Why not?
The audience in Great Xia Kingdom were all in front of the screen, anxiously waiting for Zhou Bai's next response.
On Christmas Eve, the guests Zhou Bai invited to the party died in the castle.
It is conceivable that Zhou Bai will be questioned a series of times next.
He took a deep breath, and then quietly waited for the footsteps behind him to approach.
Jim was holding the chainsaw, before he got close to Zhou Bai, the voice had already come over.
"What happened? What happened?"
Then, he finally saw what Kevin looked like now.
He didn't stand firmly and almost fell down the stairs.
"You...you, you killed him?
You actually killed someone?
I knew that there must be something wrong in this castle.
My wife died like this too, right? "
Someone died, and Jim's first reaction was to question Zhou Bai, the owner of the castle.
Zhou Bai was also prepared for the next questioning.
He took the ax in front of him, turned his head and looked at Jim coldly.
Jim's back felt cold, his body trembled, and he almost failed to stand still.
"You... are you trying to kill someone?
I...I'm telling you, I'm not alone here. "
At this time, Jim saw the candy store owner coming down, and quickly stood beside him.
The owner of the candy store looked at Kevin at the bottom of the stairs, but then turned his head directly to look at Austin behind him.
Austin stepped on the candle that was thrown to the ground before walking down.
So, he became the penultimate person who saw Kevin's death.
He passed by the candy store owner, saw him looking at him, first rolled his eyes at him, and then walked directly to Kevin's body.
He looked around Kevin's body covered with bows and arrows.
After squatting down, he confirmed that the other party was really dead, then he looked away, and then looked up at Zhou Bai.
"It's a little hard for me to explain it to you."
Buzz heard that other people seemed to be trying to challenge Zhou Bai, so he showed a nervous expression.
Zhou Bai lowered his head, but soon, he put on an innocent expression.
"I just told Kevin not to touch the vase, did you all hear that?"
Austin burst into laughter when he heard Zhou Bai's words.
"If you say that, I will know how to explain it."
Jim pointed to Austin, then to Zhou Bai.
"you you…"
He faltered for a long time, but he couldn't utter half a complete sentence.
He could only turn his head and look at the candy shop owner beside him.
Unexpectedly, but seeing him, he nodded directly.
"heard it."
Jim's eyes widened immediately.
"You...you..."
He took a step back and pointed at the other four people who were looking at him.
At this time, he even began to feel that he was the one who did the wrong thing.
Jim hurried over to support him, and then stood beside him.
"Jim, help me down to see Kevin."
So Jim supported the old mayor and came to Kevin's body.
He looked at Kevin before speaking to Zhou Bai.
"Boy, Kevin died in your castle.
Logically speaking, you also need to bear certain responsibilities. "
Jim felt that he finally heard a normal person's speech, and nodded quickly.
Zhou Bai walked to the side of the old mayor.
"Of course.
However, it is too windy and snowy outside now, and it is not suitable to transport his body out.
This matter may have to wait until dawn before it can be dealt with. "
Jim looked out the window.
It was snowing heavily outside, although it was not convenient to travel, but it didn't seem to be as exaggerated as Zhou Bai said.
He was about to refute, but the old mayor secretly grabbed his hand and signaled him not to speak.
Jim couldn't react and was about to ask.
Then I heard the old mayor talking to Zhou Bai.
"You are very reasonable. Now is really not the best time to deal with this matter."
Booz finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that things had calmed down.
Zhou Bai smiled and said to the others present.
"Sorry to interrupt our dinner due to some misunderstanding.
How about we move to the restaurant together and continue our party? "
Facing Zhou Bai's weird proposal, except for Jim who was stunned, everyone else nodded in agreement.
So, everyone followed Zhou Bai to the restaurant.
In the hall of the old castle, on the retro phonograph, there was a record, which was spinning almost silently.
The old mayor sat in his original seat and said to Zhou Bai.
"What about that record you bought in my store? Why isn't it playing?"
Zhou Bai smiled and said to him.
"Would like to play it, but the record player seems to be broken. What a pity."
The old mayor said to him.
"oh?
Is that the gramophone in the lobby? "
Zhou Bai nodded.
"What a coincidence, I happen to be able to repair that kind of phonograph."
As soon as Zhou Bai heard this, he became vigilant.
"You are a guest, how can I let you repair the machine?"
The old mayor has no intention of giving up at all.
"It's not difficult at all, it only takes a few minutes.
Let's continue eating, everyone.
Let's go to the lobby and be back soon. "
After the old mayor finished speaking, he supported himself and stood up.
Jim wanted to stand up to help, but was pushed down by the old mayor.
Looking at his posture, he seemed to have something to say to Zhou Bai alone.
Zhou Bai thought for a while, then got up and walked towards the old mayor.
So, Zhou Bai supported him, and the two left the restaurant and walked towards the hall.
The old mayor was watching the layout of the castle all the way.
It's just that he and Jim, or Kevin, look at the castle differently.
His appearance is more like remembering something through the interior of the castle.
Zhou Bai pondered whether he should take the opportunity to ask him for more information.
But he heard the old mayor suddenly ask.
"Do you know what time the song 'Jingle Bells' is going to play?"
Zhou Bai shook his head.
"It's going to play when Santa shows up."
