"Tsk, is that little girl so scared? She actually locked the door for me!"
At the gate of the villa, Xu Shuo pressed the door handle several times impatiently, but he couldn't open it with the spare key. This simply meant that the door was locked from the inside.
This kind of anti-theft lock has no key at all and can only be opened from the inside.
When he just saw Zhan Qian coming out, he suddenly wanted to see this woman lose her grace, so he quietly appeared and scared her, and the woman turned around and ran away in fear.
But now the door is actually locked!
Xu Shuo took the doorknob to express his frustration, then turned and walked towards the back of the villa. He found the window of his room and put the tools through the gap first.
The windows on the first floor are all equipped with anti-theft bars, so you can't get in by climbing through the windows, but you can barely climb up through the window eaves.
He was just teasing someone about being Spider-Man, and in a blink of an eye, Xu Shuo himself was attached to the wall, climbing horizontally with a vigorous posture, and using the hook rope, he reached the room on the left side of the second floor.
Xu Shuo tried to pull down the window, but when the two thieves went in, they didn't lock the window, making it easy for them to climb in.
Although the master bedroom had been searched a lot, it looked like it had not changed at all. The antique vases on the cabinet were still intact.
After Xu Shuo climbed through the window and came in, he walked directly to the door and opened it without squinting, and then he walked out in a swaggering manner.
The lights in the study room next to it were still on, and the door was slightly ajar. Xu Shuo glanced at it as he passed by. The two people inside were talking quietly with their backs to the door. They didn't know what they were talking about, and they could talk for so long.
He turned out of the corridor, walked briskly down the stairs, and returned to his room.
Xu Shuo changed out of his skirt and wig and stuffed all his used equipment into the box again. However, he had just cut the lock on the box and could only fasten it now.
After wiping off the fingerprints and packing up all the evidence in the room, he carried the tin box and went out again.
In the silent and oppressive darkness, the young man walked through the night as if there was no one else around, and came to a door.
Xu Shuo found the spare key and opened the door, stepped in lightly, then closed the door and locked it smoothly, making a sound that was even quieter than the rain outside.
This is a servant's room.
The smoke that had been thrown in from the window crack had already had its effect. The girl on the bed was sleeping soundly. Xu Shuo glanced at her and made sure he had found the right person, then stuffed the iron box deep under the girl's bed.
There was also some cover-up on the outside.
He didn't deliberately make any loopholes. If the searchers didn't find this place by then, then naturally nothing would happen.
If you find this place...
That’s none of his business!
Although they can directly destroy these things and eliminate their traces, rather than letting them find nothing, some plausible clues are the best arrangement.
There must be someone who takes the blame and confuses everyone after giving enough clues.
Who told him to have a main mission that cannot be exposed?
Xu Shuo opened the task panel and looked at it. Even though he had done so many things tonight, the progress bar under the character card was only a little bit.
After all, for this character, making the truth of the matter public is what he is really obsessed with. The chef chose to do it at today's dinner, probably because he took a fancy to the tourists who came to stay overnight.
Only outsiders would not care about this manor.
But now, the travelers who have become missionaries and entered the script will be even more reckless to investigate everything.
The truth of the entire script needs to be deduced from their hands.
…
The drizzle outside has stopped, and the entire night in the villa has completely fallen into silence. It is dormant in the mountains, like a wild beast waiting for its prey.
Xu Shuo left after putting away his things, but this time when he walked swaggering through the hall, he suddenly paused and looked up with feeling.
Then, he saw a figure standing there quietly outside the second corridor that turned left. Her face reflected by the candle seemed a little surprised, but also because of the angle of the candle flame, her face became very strange.
fear.
For a while, both sides were silent.
Zhan Qian just glanced down casually when she returned to her room. After all, her door was close to the corridor, and the corridor faced the dark lobby.
She really just looked at it unconsciously!
As a result, she suddenly saw a vague figure, and the next moment, the person she was looking at immediately raised her head and looked over.
Zhan Qian was so frightened that her heart trembled, and all she could think about was "I've been discovered"!
But then she realized that it was okay to be discovered. She had just been discovered by the housekeeper, and more importantly, she had done nothing wrong!
She is a guest invited by the owner!
So Zhan Qian felt confident again, her face returned to elegance and calmness, and she looked at the figure in the dark. But after a while, the person withdrew his gaze, turned around and left as if he hadn't seen her.
Zhan Qian was stunned for a moment and murmured: "What, so arrogant?"
She was sneaking around outside in the middle of the night and acted like nothing happened when she was discovered. Zhan Qian originally didn't want to go into details. After all, she was definitely not the only one with a mission, but now she was very curious about who that guy was.
It's a pity that the man didn't have any firelight on his body, so he couldn't see anything clearly. How on earth did he wander outside in such darkness?
Zhan Qian shook her head strangely, turned around and went back to her room, locking it behind her.
Having just learned some things from the housekeeper in the study, Zhan Qian sat on the bedside, took out a notebook and began to analyze.
I certainly can't believe everything the butler says, but some of it can be inferred.
For example, suppose Mrs. Guo did not commit suicide because of depression, but because something unexpected happened, she became resentful and turned into a ghost wandering around the manor.
And if all this is true, and the source of Mr. Guo's depression is also because he saw his own mother commit suicide, he may have hated his father because of it, so there was a drama of fatherly kindness and filial piety.
Wait... Zhan Qian suddenly thought for a moment after thinking about this.
The reason why Mr. Guo got depressed and stayed at home was because of his mother. So what is the reason for his mother's depression?
Could it be that there was a misunderstanding between the two people who were in love?
Zhan Qian frowned and thought deeply. She just didn't know whether the secrets in this manor had anything to do with Mrs. Guo's suicide. In the end, she still had to restore the truth of the entire script.
She completed the first task by chance, so why was the second task so troublesome?
Thinking of the white figure who was judged by the system to have completed her mission, Zhan Qian secretly glanced out the window again, but at this time, she saw nothing in the dark courtyard.
The thunder and lightning outside stopped at some point. After the third watch, it was the darkest time of the night. From a distance, the villa seemed to be completely swallowed up by the boundless darkness.
