The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 272 The Testimony of Three Friends

Maggie Connor's testimony.

She said that it was around 23:[-], they were playing Mario Kart, and then the power suddenly cut off, and she exclaimed.

After that, Tom Kennan picked up the large flashlight on the table and went down to the basement to check.

At that time, both she and Beth Kenan were a little scared, so they turned on the light of their mobile phones to illuminate the surroundings.Miriam Dole and Lorenzo Cooper didn't do that.

Lorenzo Cooper offered to restore Tom's electricity at the time, but Miriam persuaded him that Tom could do it himself, and you would add trouble if you went.Just wait here.

After hearing this, Lorenzo didn't insist anymore.

All four of them figured the power would be back soon, and chatted in the meantime.

Small talk, first about why the power went out, then about the game you just played.

Afterwards, Miriam suggested how about telling a ghost story, but she (Maggie) felt that such a sudden power outage was already scary, and ghost stories should not be told, so she suggested that everyone tell a joke.

She could hardly remember what jokes everyone had told, including her own, but only Lorenzo's.

This joke was very tasteless, and she felt that it was not convenient for her to type it out, but it was not important anyway, so let it go.

At that time, she was afraid of the dark, so she suggested that everyone turn on the light bulb and forget it.But Miriam said that it would be too wasteful to turn on the light ball at this time, and she objected.Lorenzo also disapproved of turning on the light ball. He said that it was too dazzling, and he had had enough of playing disco before, so let's take a break now.

According to her recollection, it was only this special thing when the power went out.

As for how long it was off, she didn't remember at all. She only knew that it was very short. After all, Tom restored the electricity shortly after he got down from the basement, saying it was just a trip.

Testimony of Miriam Dole.

She also said that it was around eleven o'clock in the evening when they were playing a video game when the power went out. At that time, she claimed that she was using Luigi and was the first of the five.

The sudden power outage made her regretful, because she was almost at the point of the last lap. She hadn't taken the lead for several rounds at that time. This time, she finally got the chance but it was interrupted unexpectedly, which really made her sad.

After the power outage, she remembered that Tom yelled and cursed, and then took the flashlight to the power supply room.

At this time, everyone was generally a little uneasy, but Lorenzo said some witty words in time to ease the atmosphere, and claimed that with him, nothing happened, and even vampires would be scared away after seeing his tendons.

Miriam also posted some emoticons here to express how "manly" Lorenzo she felt at the time, and said that she was so scared at the time that she almost shouted out, thanks to him being there.

Then, Lorenzo volunteered, saying that he would also help Tom repair it, and that he might need help in case something big was burned out.

But the three girls were a little scared at this time, but Lorenzo just said that he had nothing to do here, so he naturally didn't want to let him go, so he persuaded him that Tom was good at dealing with electricity, gas, etc. You won't be able to help if you go there, it's better to wait for him here, so that he will feel more "manly" if he solves it alone.

So they decided to chat about something.

Bess was afraid that the power outage was caused by someone coming in to cause trouble, and Maggie was a little pessimistic, always worried that the power outage was due to failure to pay the electricity bill.And Miriam herself felt that the fuse might be blown, not a big deal.Lorenzo thought so too, but he suggested that he went down to look at the electric box here, and it might be that the parts were aging and the whole was damaged, so the problem was more serious.

Miriam said that although she was quite scared at the time, she felt that the atmosphere was very good. In addition, it was snowing heavily outside on Christmas Eve, so she decided to mobilize everyone to tell some horror stories to "cold" the atmosphere in the house. Some cowards think that the sudden power outage is scary enough now, how can they still talk about such terrible things, and some people also express their refusal on the grounds that it is not suitable to talk about such things that do not fit the festive atmosphere on Christmas Eve.

She doesn't really remember who said which sentence, anyway, the two sentences came from the other two women.

Later, Maggie suggested that everyone tell a joke.

Miriam distinctly remembered telling a joke about Santa Claus falling down a chimney and getting stuck because he was too fat, and she said it was a funny joke, but she regretted how forced it was.

And Lorenzo's joke got a lot of laughs.That joke was actually a long list, traditionally British tasteless jokes, pretty damn good.

It's the kind that starts with a priest, a sailor, and a businessman walking into a bar, and then the more adult content follows.

After telling the joke, Maggie suggested turning on the light bulb again.

When she said this, she also complained that Maggie liked the light ball very much, and she liked to look up at it when dancing.This will keep the light bulb on all night, and her neck will be dislocated.

Miriam said that both she and Lorenzo objected to turning on the light bulb because she felt that it was too unserious to turn on the light bulb at this time, destroying the dark and cold scary atmosphere, but Lorenzo was just tired of playing , I feel dizzy at the moment.

Therefore, the lamp ball was not turned on in the end.

Later, they heard movement in the basement.

She also joked that it would be funny if a zombie came up instead of Tom.

But Bess didn't like it very much when he heard it, and said not to make such a joke.

Of course, everything is normal.

It seemed Tom was pulling the switch and turning the power back on.

After returning, everyone discussed whether to continue playing the game.But after such a toss, everyone basically didn't want to continue the party, so they decided to start free activities.Tom and Lorenzo played Mario Kart again and turned the game off.

That's all she remembered.

The testimony of Lorenzo Cooper.

First, he recalled what happened after the blackout.

He said that after the power outage, he planned to go directly to see it, but thought that the owner here was Tom, so he didn't steal the limelight.

So, Tom first went underground by himself.

Afterwards, the women were a little scared, so he decided to appease them, telling the three that nothing would happen, and planned to go down to see if Tom needed help, because when he came to help clean up after two o'clock in the afternoon, Just noticed the safety hazard in the basement.

At that time, he even drove to the village to see if there were new fuse boxes and wires for sale, but unfortunately there were none, so he could only use it, and he reminded Tom to replace it.

Because everyone didn't let him go, he stayed and chatted with everyone.I didn't feel anything unusual in the middle, and I can't remember anything worth mentioning.
