According to what Dad learned, the maid had served the indigenous leader for more than ten years before the accident. She had been working hard and diligently, and won the trust of the leader. She not only regarded her as a family member, but also regarded her as herself.
All the children were placed in his care.
But who would have thought that such a maid would later commit atrocities that ordinary people cannot understand.
"Wait!" Liu Yongyang suddenly interrupted his father's story at this time.
After everyone turned their attention to him, he said: "Master Lin, didn't you say that this oil painting was later obtained by the native leader? In that case, why was it not him who got into trouble next, but the maid?
"
"That's a very good question." Instead of blaming this guy for interrupting him, Dad clapped his hands and said in appreciation: "Actually, I have thought of this question before, but after investigation, I found that this question,
On the contrary, it makes me more and more certain that the culprit causing this series of tragedies is this oil painting."
"Why?" Liu Yongyang frowned, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because of the placement of the oil painting at that time." Dad took out something again, but this time he got not a photo, but a cross-section of the villa.
"Look, this is the cross-section of your villa. Although the layout and functions of some rooms are slightly different from now, the general layout is still the same."
Seeing the Liu siblings nodding, the father pointed to a large room on the first floor and said: "This used to be the reception room of the indigenous leader. At that time, this oil painting was not placed on the stairs of the entrance hall.
Put it here. I am sure that the oil painting is the culprit of these incidents, because few people usually enter this reception room. Only the maid needs to clean the room and needs to come in and out frequently. Because in the home of the indigenous leader, this is the only one.
The maid will often come into contact with paintings, so the first person to have an accident is naturally the maid. In turn, the accident to the maid also proves that the mastermind behind all this is the oil painting."
After explaining his reasons, Dad glanced at us and saw that no one was speaking yet, so he continued talking.
Before speaking this time, Dad took out another photo to show us, but this time the photo was too unacceptable, especially for siblings Liu Yongqing and Liu Yongyang, after seeing the photo
After loading the food, they all rushed to the nearest bathroom.
After a while, the two of them came back with uncomfortable expressions, but this time, neither of them dared to look at the photo in their father's hand.
Dad said: "Sorry, I forgot to remind you just now."
Liu Yongqing shook his head and said, "It's okay, Master Lin, please continue."
"OK……"
The photo that dad is holding is actually a photo of the kitchen in Liu Yongqing’s villa. Although the decoration inside is somewhat different from the current kitchen, from the layout point of view, it is the kitchen in this villa. It’s just that the
In the kitchen in the photo, there are two children's heads placed on a meat board.
According to Dad, these two heads belong to the two children of the indigenous leader.
At the time of the incident, the indigenous leader happened to be taking his wife out to participate in local activities, leaving only the maid to take care of the children at home.
When the indigenous leader returned home, he found that he had always gone out to greet the couple's children every time he returned home. This time, no one came out to greet them. Not only that, their maid also did not come out to greet the master's return.
Strangely, the indigenous leader and his wife searched for their whereabouts in the villa. As a result, they found the maid in the kitchen. She was chopping meat in the kitchen when she saw the owner coming back.
, she also greeted them with a smile and asked if they wanted to have a midnight snack? She bought two lambs today and was preparing to cook roast lamb for the owner.
Of course, after seeing the photo just now, we already know that the lambs the maid mentioned are actually the children of the native leader.
Seeing the tragic situation of his children with his own eyes, the native leader's wife fainted immediately, and the native leader was furious. After the incident, he only went through a short trial and hanged the man who killed him with his own hands.
Children's maid.
However, according to the records of bystanders at the time, before the maid died, she was still claiming that she had only killed two lambs and had never killed anyone at all!
After finishing the Handmaid's Tale, Dad took out a new photo. This time the photo was not as bloody as before. What appeared in the photo was a group of men wearing old Japanese army uniforms.
It turned out that after the maid murder incident, the owner of this villa, the wife of the indigenous leader, was so stimulated that she could no longer live in the place where her children were killed, so the indigenous leader took her to move elsewhere.
And the villa was left vacant for a long time.
After that, the news about this oil painting disappeared temporarily. When it appeared again in front of the world, it was already during the Second World War.
At that time, the Japanese army had occupied the entire Southeast Asia, and so had the area where this villa was located. Because the decoration of the villa was extremely luxurious, soon after the Japanese army occupied this place, they decided to use this villa as a dormitory for senior officers.
The first person to live here was a Japanese army colonel.
When he first moved here, the colonel was quite satisfied with the environment here and praised it full of praises. However, not long after that, the messenger who came to convey the order to go into battle suddenly discovered that the army colonel was already in the villa.
Starved to death!
At this time, Dad took out another old photo, which showed an emaciated corpse lying in the morgue.
He said: "This is what the senior colonel looked like after he was discovered. Because it was wartime and the area was in the tropics, there were many poisonous insects and poisons. Therefore, the Japanese army suspected that the senior colonel might not have died of starvation, but was used by the rebels using some kind of poison.
Poison station assassination. After conducting an autopsy on the senior colonel, they discovered that the cause of death of the senior colonel was indeed starvation. But what is incomprehensible is that after inspecting the villa, the Japanese army found
He had a lot of food and wine in reserve. In other words, the colonel obviously had enough food to feed dozens of people, but he still starved to death in the villa!"
"The Japanese army felt something was wrong. Later, they investigated the origin of this villa and learned some things that had happened here before. Because they felt there was something evil, the Japanese army abandoned the villa and never let anyone live in it again."
Then, several decades passed. After the war, the villa returned to the hands of the family of the indigenous leader. However, they, who knew the inside story, did not live here, but sold the villa.
Gave it to someone else.
"Miss Liu..." Dad suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you know who bought this villa later?"
Liu Yongqing thought for a while and then guessed: "Is it the relative of my parents?"
Dad nodded and said, "Yes, this villa was indeed bought by your relative later. But he only lived in it for one day and then moved out. Afterwards, someone saw him visiting
After meeting a famous local wizard, your relative never returned to the villa, but kept it empty."
Liu Yongyang said: "You haven't returned to the villa? Why is that?"
Dad said: "To be honest with you, I have used my connections to find the wizard that your relatives were looking for. The old wizard is still alive and well. After my inquiry, he has confessed to me.
Everything. He said that the man came to him because he suspected that there was a ghost in the villa!"
"Is there a ghost?" Liu Yongyang asked in surprise, "What kind of ghost is it? Why does he think so?"
Lao De shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, and the wizard didn't ask at the time. In fact, the wizard actually had no magic power at all and was just a liar. However, he knew how to put on pretense and deceive others, and just in time,
At that time, the wizard knew the rumors about the villa, and knew that several people had died in the villa before that. So he blew a random reason at that time, saying that there was a resentful spirit in the villa that was seeking his life, so that he could
That person moves away immediately!"
