Claire did not have the key, and there was indeed no one inside.
There was no doubt that the other party had brought him to a fake place, and he looked around casually before paying.
There is no doubt that this is the lowest level of the entire building, but the air circulation is still good, even the locked door is clean, and it is obvious that someone is cleaning it from time to time.
Perhaps it is this that has kept Claire’s curiosity from being aroused for several years after getting married, right?
"There are no windows of any kind in this room, and the key has been well hidden by Lick, and he locks the door every time he goes in, so I have no idea what's going on inside."
As the saying goes, people have sex after drinking. Although she was held hostage here, facing the unknown of the past few years, Claire's mood actually sounded subtly changed, with a little more desire to explore the unknown.
The evidence of this is evidenced by his unconsciously faster speaking speed.
"Please believe me, if there was a way to open it, I would definitely go in and check it out immediately."
The next moment she looked back at Fu Qian and said with helpless sincerity.
"So how did Rick run away?"
He took a step forward and paid without sounding suspicious.
"Just after I came back, I told him about my experience with you... A servant saw him leaving in a hurry without taking anything -"
Claire's words stopped abruptly, facing the door that was pushed open a crack.
The almost condensed gaze fell on the opponent's hand the next moment.
Is that a hairpin?
Where did he get it? And he is so skilled!
…
After being told that the guy might be a supernatural being with inhuman power, Claire obviously had some imaginations about how to open the door.
However, it was so light and easy to use, even easier than holding a key by herself, which made the surge in her chest that broke into the door and explore the secret feel like it was floating in the air.
But these are all details. Master Grimshaw obviously didn't care about his own feelings and just pushed the door open.
It was pitch black. Due to the location, only a little light in the corridor could shine in. Claire, who was standing outside the door, could not see anything even though she tried her best - and the people inside did not turn on the lights at all.
mean.
Grimshaw had stepped into the darkness without hesitation.
And as he moved, an indescribable smell that had accumulated over time was stirred up, arousing curiosity and fear at the same time.
After all, this kind of confined space cannot have as much fresh air as the corridor.
Click!
Attributing it to the side effects of alcohol, Claire neither stayed outside nor took the opportunity to leave.
The next moment, she suppressed her fear, walked into the bad smell, and followed the rules of the building to find a switch and turn it on.
The light suddenly brightened, almost making people lose their vision for a short time.
But Claire, who finally adapted after a few seconds, felt lost for a moment when faced with the scene in front of her.
empty.
The room, which was not too big in area, surprisingly did not even have some basic furnishings.
So much so that under the slightly reddish light, it even looked a little empty.
Grimshaw, who came in first, was standing in the corner of the room, silently looking at a pile of boxes of exactly the same shape and size in front of him.
Translucent, stacked neatly together, and almost blocking a wall, this pile of boxes is almost the only special thing in the entire room.
And at a glance, they were all empty without exception, so Claire didn't understand what he was looking at at all.
…
"Looks like I've disappointed you."
Facing Grimshaw who was in deep thought, Claire felt lost and felt a faint sense of joy for some reason.
So much so that she even stepped forward and boldly asked.
"Did you find anything?"
"Yes, it's very neat."
However, what I didn't expect was that the other party showed no signs of disappointment.
"Then what?"
"Then it's like a standard thing."
The answers flowed quickly, and Fu Qian finally turned to look at Claire.
"You said before that your husband worked in a hospital as a surgeon before he retired?"
"Yes, this is……"
Nodding subconsciously, Claire suddenly realized something. She turned her head and looked at the strange wall again, realizing that these unmarked boxes looked familiar.
"It seems that he cut something out of the human body and brought it back illegally that was supposed to be destroyed."
He did not wait for her answer before paying, but made his own judgment.
"You haven't noticed it usually?"
…
"I never ask about Li Ke's work..."
The moment she realized what the master was referring to, the empty boxes on the wall suddenly became terrifying in Claire's eyes.
The image of some chaotic human structure in her mind made her drunk for a moment, and she could not suppress the desire to vomit.
"It does look like something from a hospital, but...it's empty inside."
She subconsciously took a step back, but she still struggled to retort.
"Yes, so your husband took advantage of his position to steal hospital supplies in violation of regulations."
Without any intention of arguing, Fu Qian casually followed Claire's train of thought.
"Inflicting heavy losses, taking the blame and resigning after being noticed, that is the truth of early retirement, is this true?"
…
Even if she no longer wanted to identify with the other party, Claire would not think that these boxes in front of her could cause any damage.
"But what's inside?"
After a moment of silence, she finally made a weak rebuttal because she didn't want to admit the nightmare scene.
"This is the second discovery I want to make, it's very clean."
He shook his head slightly before paying.
"Then, doesn't that just prove that it hasn't been used?"
Claire almost couldn't wait to retort.
"Never used it, or licked it clean."
However, the other party's answer was like a devil's whisper.
"Careful, meticulous, and lick every corner."
Claire's body was shaking like an electric shock, but the other party still didn't let her go.
"It's like what you see when you dream back at midnight."
Well--
The vomit, smelling of alcohol, finally spattered from Claire's mouth to the ground.
And the scene that made my hair stand on end during my first visit reappeared to an even more exaggerated degree.
"Think of the bright side in everything. The fact that I haven't been discovered by you for so long means that Mr. Leake will do a lot of cleaning on his mouth every time he leaves here."
Although he didn't mean to help, Fu Qian still comforted the victim in a professional manner, helped the victim ease his emotions, and led the topic naturally.
"Now think about it carefully. Earlier, did Mr. Leake have any more special behaviors or language related to the situation we just described?" ()
