壁爐裡的柴火燒得作響，屋外的雨還是下個沒停，蒙大拿太太的哭聲也沒停過。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRERJszvdM
長餐桌旁的五個人，三男二女。年輕貌美的蒙大拿太太哭著倚在油頭小生蒙大拿先生懷裡，他拍拍她的背，輕言細語的說著安慰之詞。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0HZaP9HJ6
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYYiMCnKf9
坐在長桌一端的赫魯雷夫托著鰓，臉上的肥肉層層疊起來，五隻肥短的手指規律的敲著桌面。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin0q8gh8CQ
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8f4m1uqgW
赫魯雷夫身邊站著一名穿著長裙的女僕，名叫安亞，雙眼冰冷而無神。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdaUUuzsDA
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATq9hq52R
長桌另一端坐著保羅，鏡片後的眼睛目露兇光的掃視眾人，好像所有人都跟他祖宗十八代有仇一樣。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaZ58kP9xM
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl5vbg9Uvt
魔法師梅恩掛掉了掛牆電話，他回到長桌旁，坐在蒙大拿夫婦對面，「受暴雨阻礙，人狼管制局的人要明天才能到達。」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIimpwdrGr
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HcdQCdEd2
「我們走吧，我們回去吧。」蒙大拿太太哭喪著說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1mzL1aXSP
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsiJwP08PK
「隨你的便，如果你試著徒步下山，我能借你傘子。」赫魯雷夫說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdADcCdpwiS
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjShAzTlUI
「我們甚麼地方也不會去，只要大家待在一起就必定安全。」蒙大拿先生說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB27XfhVUsK
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vbnUf8ZnR
「為甚麼會這樣，我們是來玩的啊。」梅恩說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoHxt6tTR5
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOb5uU2txS
放在桌面中央的，是玩到一半的拼字遊戲，假若不是人狼管制局的一通電話，她就要獲勝了。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOQfO6eeIi
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91M05NKh7X
「呃，作為主人家，我應該說點話。」赫魯雷夫抖著滿臉肥肉說：｢作為在書迷會認識的朋友，我非常敬重在座每一位。即使你是十惡不赦嗜殺成性的人狼都好，我願意網開一面，給你一個機會。地牢裡有一個監牢，是用來困住打獵抓回來的野獸，欄桿硬到連大棕熊都能困住。你進去吧，我誠諾既往不咎，在人狼管制局來到前放你走。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjNLs11BLB
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPuTgrQ632
「哈哈哈，真仁慈啊。」保羅邊說邊拍手，｢那麼，有人會承認嗎？｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhr4bmicHn
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtayFJ8Zqq
大家都互相看了一圈，沒有人自首。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOmIvzY51R
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToEHChULGk
「也許只是一場誤會，根本沒有人狼呢。」蒙大拿太太說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxj8h7rVM
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqXttKAAZO
「你意思是人狼管制局誤報？不可能的，人狼管制局從不出錯。我們當中必有人狼。」梅恩說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKudi9IZKRe
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ19GGpRSTq
「我們需要查出誰是人狼，然後把他困進監牢中，不然到了晚上，我們全部都要死。」保羅說，｢在此，我願意擔任偵探，為各位查出真相。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk1nrlOvbp
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO07GF389pZ
赫魯雷夫不肖的冷笑，「你要怎樣查？假若你就是人狼，不就方便你煙滅證據了嗎？」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkZSb8KeyG
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhucwF1mpUP
「言下之意，只要能證實自己的清白，我就有資格查了吧？」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4V4QQw1lq
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkMw7XNTBa
「證明不了的。」梅恩說，｢在變身之前，人狼和一般人無異。只有銀製的十字架能夠探測，因為接近人狼的銀十字會扭曲。但我看屋內沒有這種東西。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TfEB5VkWL
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkcPA4vSNN
保羅笑了笑，他把左手放在桌上，從腰間拔出小刀把手釘在桌面。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfa1sONjsx
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bCoPTbzzR
眾人倒抽一口涼氣，蒙大拿太太尖叫起來。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUYY0IjugB
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv2OtAXISG
「這樣如何……？如此一來……假若我是人狼，轉化後也不能活動了……」保羅鐵青了臉，斗大的汗珠從額心湧出。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwpp4y0FDe
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrB3ME417K
「瘋子！狂人！……瘋子！」一時語塞的赫魯雷夫重覆罵著。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwCZiC7AUs
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb2AjQBDof
「不能活動又要如果查案呢？偵探先生？」梅恩說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpyl7N5HqM
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopYnCRxz5r
「我會用成果證明自己沒有瘋……看在這只手的份上務必對我的命令絕對服從，唯有這樣我們才能活命。」保羅的視線掃了一圈，大家都被嚇呆了，剛才不信任的想法全都轟飛到九宵雲外。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjpvWFCwvO
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv6Tqf3Cnd
「哼，你儘管試試看。」赫魯雷夫雙手抱胸向後挨，但表情告訴所有人他只是故作鎮定。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWigKope8Zl
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MCm1SlBSQ
其他人看來都沒有異議，保羅深吸口氣，把快要衝口而出的尖叫壓回肚子裡，「好極了，那麼就要勞煩大家。」保羅豎起食指指向天花，｢請把自己的行李提下來，我要撿查各位的行李。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLztuBT2VAS
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0lmBX1p4f
「等等，我提議選一個中間人負責提行李，不然人狼會趁機把不利的證據扔掉。」赫魯雷夫說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nBvu0KOYG
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbnnI4ks19
保羅搖頭，｢你以為我想不到嗎？這個證據是扔不掉的。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jsWyWbEVg
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KifLStrRu
各人皆離開大廳去提行李，只有赫魯雷夫吩咐女僕安亞去忙，自己在原位跟保羅玩瞪眼遊戲。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILV37jOh1
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmuDfsdBmY
等各人回來，保羅又說：｢有人懂得分辨銀器嗎？｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjIQnr759F
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6odAMZwbg
魔法師梅恩緩緩的舉手，｢我可以用魔法辦到。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgKljFnR4B
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd8ebWHcD5
蒙大拿先生也跟著舉手，｢我在珠寶店工作的，我也會分辨銀器。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DOszn2Nd4
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c0Zt5mtL2
保羅點點頭，「由我開始，順時針方向輪流把行李打開。蒙大拿先生和梅恩小姐附責檢查行李中有沒有銀器。」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPtcVWNqGl
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1uMIjB4Uu
「我不懂。」蒙大拿先生說，｢為甚麼持有銀器就能證明對方就是人狼？｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGW7jXC8VZ
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYY3ratVur
「不對，反過來。人狼害怕銀器，因為只有銀器能傷害人狼。所以人狼必對銀器有所忌諱，相反持有銀器的人便是清白的了。」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2QHc3Llxz
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRdnWUbYzZ
眾人順序打開各自的行李箱，結果，赫魯雷夫持有銀製的指環，蒙大拿太太持有銀項鍊。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjy8Zu0CyP
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlUR7tEiHI
「我有這個做證，所以排除在外。」保羅指著釘在桌上的左手。他續一掃過餘下的嫌疑人，蒙大拿先生、女僕安亞、魔法師梅恩。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eHW2kXb8u
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKoSxVPd9F
「我以名義保證我的丈夫不是人狼。」蒙大拿太太充滿鼻音的說，｢他每晚都睡在我身邊，絕對不可能是殺人如麻的人狼。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtodBVs1JX6
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli57hetfHG
「我也以名義保證安亞的清白。」赫魯雷夫舉起他肥粗的食指說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbVvL2ZJAk
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElHPGpyj15
「因為她每晚都睡在你身邊嗎？」保羅說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfvrMcmAc0
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHQz9iTFGP
赫魯雷夫頓時滿臉通紅，｢不是！｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKHULHV8gQ
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbxavByb4P
梅恩瞇起眼睛，｢沒有人能替我做擔保，看來我是頭號疑犯。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAGN6kzW4n
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIybMy6IQY5
「看情況呢。」保羅的視線聚焦在安亞身上，她被盯得不自在，下意識的拉直裙子。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb9DoQmJ89
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BIw0hGe6i
赫魯雷夫生氣了，他站起來擋住保羅的視線，「別懷疑她！」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ8w85Mwcs
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhyzNbcQCn
「你家中有擺放銀十字嗎？」保羅說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy62IixOMe
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGSr1osqR3
「沒有！但那不重要！」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEVR6bFjl6
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJlmtFTYr6
「梅恩小姐，人狼有可能壓溢住殺人的沖動嗎？」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmKL9tZGWP
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEECgiUkJr
「人狼一晚不吃人便會餓死，不過，又未至於沒有理性。很可能為隱藏身份，而不對生活圈子裡的人出手。」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqfix93859
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ov6knmfRB
「可惡！我受夠了！」赫魯雷夫大力拍桌，｢不跟你們發瘋！跟本就沒有甚麼狗屁人狼！我要回房間了！｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU2ENKQjyE
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbAmKes2fB
「那兒都不要去！」保羅大喊。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBKWk9yyJ2
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mQBJwi6H2
赫魯雷夫挪動那肥大的雙腳要跑，蒙大拿先生撲上去阻止他，安亞在旁試圖將他從自己的主人身上拉開，三人糾纏在一起，蒙大拿太太哭著叫他們停手，梅恩開始在唸咒，場面非常混亂。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3EGf5xhUx
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvux8URpcjh
「住手！我知道誰是人狼了！」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbwIDIPiyO
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DN0lo37UC
像是拍照一樣，所有人的動作都停止，並看向鏡頭。保羅豎起食指，指住女僕安亞。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmqcXBXO75
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM4H2m1OMR
「你就是人狼。」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuHeOjZfEG
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuBGHjaa5I
保羅把釘住手掌的小刀拔出，他扯下領帶包住血流如注的左手。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQccAh2n2N
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fuO2oAhEL
「你可有證據！不要在含血噴人！」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstBhAuKVCC
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyqwv9SSVQ
保羅舉起右手，示意赫魯雷夫閉嘴。｢證據就在她的口袋裡。｣安亞的眼神讓保羅知道自己的想法沒錯，｢把口袋反開。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYLY0Z6W9e
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHet5eV4l4S
安亞先是頓了一下，突然轉身逃跑。蒙大拿先生立刻抓住她的手腕和肩膀，以防身術壓倒在桌面上。安亞扭動身體掙扎，大聲漫罵。梅恩唸了句咒語，變出一條麻繩將她的雙手反綁在背後。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBAVJZp7Ea
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTj8dV0Ndf
保羅上前伸手進她的左口袋，從中掏出一個歪曲的金屬塊扔到桌上。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vcWogzVvq
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J5WSrzBIy
「我由一開始便覺得你的動作很不自然，因為裡頭裝了這個大東西。寬鬆的長裙雖然能在外觀上掩飾，但金屬塊壓住大腿而使你行動不便。剛才你們糾纏一起時便更明顯了。」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ7HWqfJdE
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmiYNn9TQo
蒙大拿先生撿起金屬塊研究了一翻，｢這是銀器，原先的形狀是一個十字架，像神父會用的那種。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWSUoUbhuu
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSLaX58fcx
「胖子，你可認得此物。」保羅說。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM7zCmMaUf
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOOOyXfZds
赫魯雷夫聳肩，保羅指向壁爐，壁爐上方排滿了各樣小擺設，一匹小銅馬和一本聖經中間有明顯的空隙。｢我都忘了有這東西，為甚麼你會知道那兒原先放了十字架。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1oW0az6Z2
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE1cXNaOje
保羅沒好氣的反了白眼，｢聖經旁邊不放十字架，難道要放屁嗎？｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrTNlv2k1D
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuCm2nWyGy
「但為甚麼她要收起十字架？」蒙大拿太太說。
「你們到底有多遲頓？」保羅指住安亞，「事情的真相很簡單，銀十字暴露了你的身份，於是你把它收起來，以為不會有人察覺，等到今晚就能大開殺戒。可是你算不到人狼管制局的這通電話。」保羅兩手一攤，｢不，你的手段太差了。儘管沒這通電話，我一樣能在晚上前揪出你。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HDoDEaB4s
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINSHBnXwuj
安亞目露兇光，猶如一匹野狼，「別得瑟了，低賤的人類！你們就只是會說話和穿著衣服的家畜！」655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXarglvBUu
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRBJHf4LX
啪！655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcj3ddRtsM
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBioXFDrYGZ
赫魯雷夫的一記耳光使她安靜下來。
｢你讓我太失望了。｣655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2clbwJG1P8
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ywcCDAVX
稍後的時間，安亞被鎖進監牢裡，臉上的紅印依然隱隱作痛。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1oRtp4Du9
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTbX9j7qTf
「我相信你是無辜的，跟本沒有甚麼人狼，我會證明你的清白。」赫魯雷夫離開前說道。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhDuJRmvxG
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xpb95zNOt
地牢裡只有一絲燭光和一扇窗，夜晚刮起刺骨的寒風，唯一的燭光熄滅，妖豔的月光連同雨水灑進監牢裡，形成一光一暗兩個分明的世界。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt1M5QauKm
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNlGC0IHDj
地牢的門被撞開，渾身是血的蒙大拿太太抓住欄杆呼叫，救我啊，救我啊。另一邊的安亞挨牆而坐，兩手吊高鎖在牆上，繞起二郎腿，冷笑。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQEwBq7Dmx
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXDpZ6QZox
蒙大拿太太被拖入黑暗之中，溫熱的鮮血淺到安亞的腿上弄髒她的長襪，伴隨骨肉撕裂的聲音蒙大拿太太終於停止哭泣了。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTHj39OrCd
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLoQGbQX2K
野獸從黑影慢步入月光之中，巨狼咧開鮮紅的利牙，黃色的雙眼瞪住安亞。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksd1TvRFLK
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMA4DyFckt
她不知道誰是人狼，也毋須要知道。當她注意到壁爐上那歪曲的十字架後，便得出了結論：比起猜出誰是人狼，倒不如假裝人狼，讓自己被鎖進監牢裡比較安全。655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGrZmuULAT
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0XidV3nqY
人狼管制局明天早上便到，她會被救出去，她會活下去，即使孤身一人。只要還活著，這樣便足夠了。
