After parting ways with Ceryl, Karl was still feeling emotional.
If that guy had an ugly appearance, he would never react like this. Sure enough, he couldn't resist the beautiful girl's kiss.
The villa they were in was a typical Victorian manor. In addition to the three-story structure of the main part, there was a low attic on the top, and there were several small rooms in the garden outside for other purposes.
On the way to the third floor, Karl only saw one servant in the manor, which was a maid cleaning the corridor at night. Considering that there was nothing unusual about the previous guard, this woman was probably just doing her daily work, too.
An ordinary person who is completely unaware that he is in crisis.
So Karl carefully avoided the maid, and he didn't want to cause trouble at this time.
Go to the third floor through the stairs of the manor. As soon as you go up, there is a gorgeous corridor. There is a row of portraits on the wall. The rooms where the owners live are distributed at both ends of the corridor.
Karl first came to the door of a room on the left side of the corridor.
I put my ear against the door and listened, but there seemed to be no movement inside.
So he reached out and tried to twist the door handle, but the door was not locked.
This is convenient for Karl, as he no longer has to take out the [Decapitating Blade] and violently open the door.
After gently opening the door, the lights were on, but no one was there.
A large bed is placed at one end of the room, and the wardrobe and dressing table are in the corner on one side of the room. This not-too-large room is full of exquisite and luxurious furnishings, and various lacquerwares with various patterns are placed generously.
Everywhere you look, you can tell that a lot of money has been spent on specially designed items.
Without making any further observations, Karl walked to the dressing table in two steps. On the dressing table made of pure wood stood a beautifully shaped mirror. After opening the drawer, there was indeed a lot of jewelry inside.
Karl took out all the jewelry at once and spread it out on the dressing table.
After looking through them one by one, it was a pity that although there were earrings and necklaces made of gemstones, the sizes were completely substandard. Jewelry with a diameter of more than one centimeter was still difficult to find.
Slapping his forehead with regret, Karl left this room and went to check other rooms on the third floor.
There are a total of eight rooms on the third floor, of which only three are occupied by women. In addition, there is a study room and four male residences. The most luxuriously furnished room is probably their boss’s former residence, which is now covered with thick
of white cloth.
After exploring all the rooms, Karl did not miss the men's room. Unfortunately, he could not find a gem that met the requirements in these seven rooms.
It is worth noting that the doors to all the rooms on the third floor are unlocked. And there is no one there, which is very abnormal.
Even at night, there will be servants standing vigil at the door of such wealthy people's homes, waiting for orders that may be issued by their masters.
But there is no one here at this time, which is really unusual.
Perhaps the man who came in the carriage just now had an extraordinary status, so the whole family went to greet him?
Karl shook his head, now is not the time to think about this.
Since all the jewelry here is unusable, that means we can only place our hope on the stolen gemstone.
From the beginning of the day to now, the entire manor has been sealed off. There is a high probability that this gem is still in the manor and has not been taken out. All you have to do is rack your brains to find it!
Although everyone in the manor was regarded as a suspect, that was only the judgment made by Scott, the owner of the manor, when the authorities were in chaos.
Judging from the information given by Seliel, this gem was hidden by the boss in private before, and he should be the only one who knows about the existence of this gem.
Then it would most likely be discovered that the boss's family discovered this thing when he was sorting out his belongings. After they discovered this gem, they had no reason or time to publicize it.
From this we can draw a conclusion that these outsiders do not know the existence of this gem, which can eliminate the suspicion of most people. After all, they don't even know this thing, so how can they steal it?
?
It would be impossible to say that an outside thief or something stole the gem. In the same way, they didn't even know there was a gem here, and such a clear target couldn't be some thief.
In this case, it is only possible that the people in the manor are stealing.
The original people in the manor can be roughly divided into three classes.
The master's family, managers such as housekeepers and head maids who manage low-level servants, and then the lowest servants.
The possibility of theft by the owner's family is basically zero. They did not insure the gem. There is no reason to mess around with the family's property and offend these visiting guests.
Then there are the servant managers, who are on the suspect list.
Because these people basically work for one family all their lives, and they will basically not change unless the owner goes bankrupt. Most of the people who engage in this profession are from ordinary backgrounds. It is possible that they want to steal gems and give them to their relatives outside in exchange for wealth.
.
As for the low-level servants in the manor, except for those who were present when the gem was discovered, they generally would not have the opportunity to know about the gem. At most, they would only hear rumors.
But at the same time, they are also the most suspected of committing the crime. These servants are generally uneducated. After hearing the rumors, they become obsessed with wealth and then try to steal gems for themselves.
As long as it is done and sold into money after leaving the manor, it will be a huge amount of wealth that cannot be obtained in a lifetime!
So the best choice right now is to start investigating from the servants, butlers and others in the manor.
After clearing his thoughts, Karl instantly thought that something was wrong.
When he came up from the second floor just now, apart from the caretakers who were supposed to be watching over the guests, there was only one servant cleaning the entire second floor. This was too strange.
On a night like this, that guy is cleaning alone?
Where have the others gone?
This servant has serious suspicions!
So Karl decisively went back downstairs, planning to have a good 'chat' with her.
On the other side, after separation from Karl, Cyril walked to the first floor alone.
The kitchen in this manor is in a very remote corner, which she confirmed during her investigation last night.
As she continued to move forward, the clothes on her body began to change, and after taking a few steps, she returned to what Karl had seen before.
A plainly dressed maid appeared in the corridor.
While heading to the kitchen with her head lowered, Cyril also walked around the first floor.
There is nothing strange at all when passing by various locations. Could it be that there are some deep-hidden changes in this manor?
You must know that turning a region into this kind of "personal domain" is more or less to make the environment beneficial to herself, but she did not find any obvious changes.
