Chapter 70 Discovery

 "From what you just said, has anyone else come here to investigate?"

The white aunt was very talkative and said, "The FBI came here yesterday and inquired about the situation at Tailsen Manor."

Luke and David looked at each other, both surprised, "How many people are here? How do you know they are FBI?"

The white woman smiled and said, "I remember it was a person. He didn't say anything, but when he paid... I saw the FBI badge."

Luke asked, "What did he ask?"

"It's just some things related to Telson Manor. In fact, I don't know much about it. I was still in Los Angeles 20 years ago. Let me tell you a secret. I almost settled there."

Luke smiled and said, "Oh, then we are still half fellow villagers."

The white aunt said in surprise, "Are you from Los Angeles? Oh my god, I think of the past time again, that crazy age, that crazy city..."

The white aunt was lost in reminiscing about the past, and Luke interrupted her, "Yes, I heard that the city of Heim is very beautiful and has delicious 'kuta', so I came here."

The white aunt pointed her hands at Luke, "You are right, you must try it. The Kuta we have here is the best."

"I will come."

Luke asked for the address of Telson Manor, and then said goodbye to the white aunt.

Exited the restaurant.

David sat in the cab consciously, "Did you have sex with 'Kuta'?"

"If it weren't for 'Kuta', could we have gotten clues from the FBI? You have to learn to blend in with the surrounding environment. Don't act like 'I want to beat you up' all day long.

No one will talk to you but me."

"It's just because I'm with you that I look like this."

"Wow, I didn't expect you to joke." Luke smiled and then changed the subject, "The FBI is here too. Do you want to tell the captain?"

"Don't worry about them for now, let's check ours. I will mention it when we report on the work."

Soon, the car drove near the Tyerson Manor. This manor was easy to recognize. In the words of white aunts, it was big and shabby.

Of course, dilapidation does not mean that the building is very dilapidated, but it means that it has been in disrepair.

Luke's impression of the manor was that it was big, but he realized how big it was only when he actually saw it.

Tyerson Manor covers an area of ​​at least dozens of acres.

The walls of the manor are made of stones, giving people a simple and natural beauty. The disadvantage is that they are in disrepair and have a dilapidated and decadent atmosphere.

Out of professional habits, the two of them did not park their car next to the manor, but parked it a little further away.

He found the main gate of the manor. The iron fence was already rusty. Luke pushed the iron gate open and got rust on his hands.

Finally, the two of them climbed over the wall and entered the manor.

The manor is overgrown with weeds, and in some places it is even half a person tall. It would be really scary if we came there in the middle of the night.

There are three buildings in the manor. The main building in the middle is the largest, a four-story house. Unlike most American wooden buildings, this house is built of bricks.

The houses on both sides were smaller in size, only three stories high, and were of wooden structure. The wood had begun to rot and might collapse at any time. Luke really didn't dare to go in.

The two of them walked around the manor. Except for the gravel paths, the yard was full of weeds. It was too obstructing the view and they couldn't see anything.

The two walked to the stone house, the door was locked, and the glass was sealed with wood.

With the manor in such a dilapidated state, it is unlikely that there will be any new clues to be found, and the two of them did not bring a search warrant. It would be better to do less than to do more.

David looked around and saw desolate and dilapidated scenes everywhere. Those who looked at them felt a little uncomfortable, "Let's go."

"You go in front, I can help you." The surroundings were dilapidated and there was no toilet, so Luke didn't pay much attention to it.

I walked to a distant place with higher weeds to urinate, put on my pants and turned around to leave.

After walking not far, Luke stopped and felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed a little different.

Stomping your feet hard, the ground was a little hard, not like ordinary dirt.

Luke knelt down and looked carefully, and found that a place the size of a manhole cover was different from the surrounding ground.

"Luke, where are you?"

David couldn't wait for Luke to come back to find him.

"This way." Luke stood up and waved.

Seeing him staring at the ground, David couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Luke didn't answer. He groped the ground with his hands and found a gray hemp rope among the weeds. Without looking carefully, he thought it was a weed.

With a strong tug, a piece of grassy ground lifted up, revealing a dark hole.

David showed a vigilant look and took out his pistol to be on guard.

Luke took out his cell phone and looked down. The space below was like a pot-bellied bottle. The opening was less than one square meter, and it became wider as it went down. The depth was about three meters, and there was a ladder set up next to it.

David said, "Wait, I'll get a strong flashlight."

Luke shook his head, "It's narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It's impossible for a bright flashlight to illuminate the situation below clearly. I'll go down and take a look, and you can cover it."

Luke shouted several times at the entrance of the cave, but no one responded.

Then, he stepped down the ladder, leaning against the ladder with his back, lighting with his cell phone in his left hand, and holding a gun in his right hand.

Soon, Luke reached the bottom of the pit, which was about ten square meters and a little depressing.

Luke looked around and saw no one, but there were some items.

There are some quilts and a wooden box in the corner, and some mineral water bottles are scattered next to them.

Luke took some photos.

David asked, "How's it going down there?"

"It's okay, I'm searching."

Luke walked to the wooden box, put his mobile phone aside, so that the light could just shine on the wooden box, then he held the gun in his right hand and opened the wooden box with his left hand.

After the box was opened, Luke breathed a sigh of relief.

There were some sundries piled inside, a few cans of beer, bread, a dagger, and a loudspeaker.

Luke was not surprised by the other items, but why was there a loudspeaker?

Luke pressed the play button and the announcer rang.

"Woo..." A suppressed cry sounded, rising and falling, like a woman and a child.

The desolate sound makes people's scalp numb.

"Luke, what's that sound?"

"I'm going up right now." Luke turned off the loudspeaker, checked there were no other items, and then climbed up.

David pulled Luke and asked, "What was that crying just now?"

"It's a loudspeaker. It's probably someone deliberately pretending to be a ghost to scare people."

David glanced around, "Who would be so bored and scare people in this dilapidated manor? What is the purpose?"

"Would you like to come over tonight and find out?"

"Go out first and then talk."

The two then returned to the car to discuss and decided to stay and watch to see who would come to Tellson Manor to play tricks.

He was going to stay up late at night, so Luke was going to take a nap first.

However, just as I closed my eyes, a voice sounded in my head, [Complete an adventure experience, the adventure card has been activated and has been used.]

No wonder I can find a hole in the ground just by peeing. It turns out that the adventure card was triggered.

Luke opened the system warehouse, and there were three spare cards left in the warehouse.

Adventure card, 1 piece

Detection card, 1 piece

Bullet avoidance card, 1 piece.

Luke thought to himself, there are still more cases to solve, and it will only be easier when the card is stuck.
