Cheng Yu thought for a while and realized that the latch Liu Manman was talking about should be the latch of wooden windows from a long time ago.
One side is a latch hole, and the other side is a metal pillar that is set in various holes. About a quarter of the way there is a small section of metal pillar at a 90-degree angle. The rear can block the tail of the metal pillar so that it will not
Fall out.
Since the part blocking the metal pillar at the back is also hole-shaped, if a large copper lock is inserted into the lock, the inner end of the lock hole will protrude a lot. In this way, the metal pillar that serves as the latch will be
If you can't pull it all the way, the plugged end will not activate the latch control, and the door will naturally not open.
To be honest, Cheng Yu had not seen this kind of old-fashioned bolt for many years, and it was really surprising that he could still find it in the tool room on this island.
"Hey, do you understand the kind of latch I'm talking about?" Liu Manman saw Cheng Yu was silent for a long time, thinking that he didn't understand what the latch he was talking about looked like.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "I probably understand. That metal latch over there, if left alone, is a bit like a cane..."
Liu Manman laughed loudly, clapped her hands gently and said, "Your description is good. If I encounter this kind of latch in the future, I will call it a crutch latch. It is much easier to understand than the description I just gave."
Cheng Yuxin said, if you don't go to a particularly backward place like this, it's really hard to see a bolt like this, right?
These two large copper locks completely separated Bai Xiaowen from the other five people. However, this level of isolation is actually a way to prevent gentlemen from villains. The so-called isolation is nothing more than ensuring that the door locks are not destroyed.
It is done under the premise that whether it is Bai Xiaowen or others, if they don't care whether these locks are destroyed, it is actually very easy to lift this isolation state.
"I think what these people are doing here is really a bit like children's playing house. This form is bigger than the actual two rotten locks. Can it really play a role in isolation?" Liu Manman asked.
Drinking wine and chatting.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Of course, because that person is Bai Xiaowen. If it were you, Liu Manman, and I wanted to achieve true isolation, I'd probably have to throw you into an underground wine cellar."
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me. But seriously, do you think something will happen tonight?" Liu Manman looked a little worried when he said this.
"Are you worried about your cousin?"
Liu Manman nodded and said: "Little Green Tea has been isolated and there is no threat for the time being. Moreover, she is the least threatening individual, so generally she is safe for the time being."
Cheng Yu didn't say anything, he just took the decanter and poured himself a glass of wine, sipping it slowly while waiting for Liu Manman's next analysis.
"Needless to say Guo Pingan, no one will be crazy and want to take action against him for the time being, unless the person who wants to take action tonight is you. My reasons are similar. Even Guo Pingan has to think carefully before he wants to take advantage of me.
.Then there are only three candidates left.”
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said: "If I want to pick a target, Xie Yanwen is actually a very good choice, because as long as I kill him, everyone will think that the great god killed him to vent his anger."
Liu Manman understood that the "I" Cheng Yu said at this moment did not mean what he meant, but referred to the murderer.
"But Xie Yanwen stayed up all night. It's definitely more difficult to kill him than others, even though everyone on our side can easily reach anyone's terrace door."
Therefore, not only Cheng Yu but also Liu Manman knew that there was a very high possibility that there would be a second deceased person in this building tonight.
And as for who is more likely to be the target of the murderer, everyone actually has the same idea.
"Currently, Su Xi is more dangerous than Deng Jingliang, so you should have peace of mind tonight."
Liu Manman sighed and said: "That's why Su Xi is a little lost today, because she understands that the best targets of the murderer tonight are her and Bai Xiaowen, and Bai Xiaowen is the murderer himself, so she has become the only target. Even today
The late murderer is not the murderer who killed Chen Yu last night. There is a high probability that the murderer will let Xiao Green Tea go and target Su Xi. If Su Xi is killed, there is even a chance to blame Xiao Green Tea. Of course, now Xiao Green Tea
Being isolated has caused some trouble for those who are planning to take action tonight, but it also almost completely determines that his target can only be Su Xi. Su Xi is provoking someone, and he will inevitably die."
Of course Cheng Yu also understood this, and he said a little seriously: "It depends on Su Xi's own fate."
Liu Manman looked sideways at Cheng Yu, suddenly tilted her mouth and revealed a smirk, and said, "Are you feeling a little distressed? I think you and Su Xi seem to be quite compatible."
Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Stop making trouble, especially now that Bao Buqi Su Xi is already in the process of gradually cooling down."
Liu Manman was stunned, and suddenly sat up straight, glaring at Cheng Yu and said: "Let me go, are you so heartless? Such cold words came out of your mouth? I thought you said something to Su Xi.
I don’t have any clear feelings.”
Cheng Yu smiled coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "You are all the same in my eyes, there is no essential difference. Even if you take your last breath in front of me, I will still describe it as usual."
Liu Manman shuddered slightly and said, "Really or not, how do I feel that this is really your truth?"
Cheng Yu remained silent. This was indeed his truth, because in his eyes, Liu Manman and Su Xi were just a bunch of data, and they were the simplest combination of 0 and 1.
Although he may feel a little strange to some extent, this strangeness will not affect Cheng Yu from doing everything he should do.
Perhaps affected by Cheng Yu's decisive gesture, Liu Manman's eyes became a little wandering. It was hard for her to believe that the little boy she had known since she was a child, who was almost a stranger to her, could drive her away.
The little boy who ran away from three boys who were several years older than him will now grow into a stranger with no enthusiasm.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No, he is just pretending, he is just pretending to be indifferent because he is unable to save Su Xi's life.
"Cheng Yu, stop making trouble. In fact, it's still too late to knock on Su Xi's door." Liu Manman softened. The reason why she left and returned was actually to say these words.
Even though she seemed to be at loggerheads with Su Xi, and even though she was really worried that Su Xi would compete with her for Cheng Yu, when she analyzed that Su Xi might be the target of tonight's murderer, she still couldn't sit idly by.
.
But she knew that if she knocked on Su Xi's door, Su Xi would only think that she was going to kill her.
Only Cheng Yu could knock on Su Xi's door.
However, Cheng Yu slowly shook his head and said in a cold voice: "Do you really think she can trust me if I knock on the door? To put it bluntly, who can really trust me on this island?
Who? Don’t blame me for not reaching out. After Su Xi, Bai Xiaowen, and Xie Yanwen are all dead, and you and Deng Jingliang join forces to kill Guo Ping’an who intends to kill one of you, do you think Deng Jingliang will try to attack you? "
Liu Manman shuddered in shock at Cheng Yu's cold tone. There was a bit of fear in her eyes. Looking at the boy she had known twenty years ago, she suddenly felt the presence in front of her.
Cheng Yu was so strange, so strange that it was as if they had never met each other before, so strange that they seemed to have always been in completely different worlds.
"Do you have to say that?" Liu Manman thought that Cheng Yu was rejecting her. After all, she came to Cheng Yu's room so late at night. Even a fool should understand how prepared she was.
Cheng Yu shook his head, with a calm smile on his face, and said, "I'm just telling you the cruel truth, that's 100 million US dollars."
Liu Manman was also shaking her head desperately. She said, "What about you? Would you kill someone for 100 million US dollars?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "It may be hard for you to believe it, but my personal net worth is now at least over one billion US dollars. So, would you kill someone for one-tenth of your net worth? Of course not."
"Impossible, how can you make so much money writing books!" Liu Manman simply couldn't believe it.
Cheng Yu said with a smile: "I also have an investment company under my name, a research institute with over a thousand patents. The total market value exceeds two billion US dollars, and my shareholding is about fifty-five." Cheng Yuxin said, this
It’s not all my assets. I didn’t include the portion that Lao Cheng transferred to me. Otherwise, it would only be higher.
"Real or false? Then why have I never heard of this? The outside world should be the same as me. They only know that you are a best-selling author."
"There is no need for the whole world to know those things." What Cheng Yu was thinking in his heart was that I can't let the world know about those things.
Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't look like he was lying at all, Liu Manman finally began to believe Cheng Yu's words.
She thought for a while and said: "So, you seemed to have disappeared from this world for the past three years, just to make money?"
Cheng Yu smiled, it turns out that the Great God of Fire Hitachi in this world still has such a disappeared history?
"You disappeared for three years, and even your best friend Xu Bin doesn't know where you went..."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Actually, I went to inherit the inheritance."
"Bang! As you talk, you lose track of yourself. Forget it, I guess you won't tell me if I ask you. Xu Bin doesn't even know that you actually opened an investment company, right?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "He doesn't know, so don't tell him."
"Then I have to be able to leave this island first. Didn't you say that if Xiaoliang and I are the only ones left on this island in the end, Xiaoliang will also attack me for the 100 million US dollars?
.So you tell me this because you want to tell me that if Xiaoliang wants to deal with me, will you help me deal with him?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "I want to tell you that I can stay on this island for up to seven days. If I fail to leave after seven days, someone will come and take me away by force."
Liu Manman was stunned, but soon she thought she understood what Cheng Yu was talking about.
He slapped his thigh violently, causing the collar of the bathrobe to open wide. The T-shirt could only block the flesh, but it could not block the raging waves.
Liu Manman laughed loudly and said: "Yes, you are also a rich man with a net worth of more than one billion U.S. dollars. If a person like you can't be contacted after disappearing for seven days, your subordinates and friends will definitely risk their lives to find him.
You. And as long as I find you, I will also find this island. At that time, everyone who is still alive can leave this island with you."
Although this is not true, Cheng Yu just wants to give Liu Manman such hope, so that even if she sees fewer and fewer people on Qindao Island, she will still have enough confidence to survive.
"But, since you only need to survive seven days to leave, why don't you let Su Xi stay in the wine cellar?"
