Chapter 40 The door is locked

Ceryl walked all the way without any obstruction.

Although I met a few people on the way, no one paid attention to this little servant who was walking with his head down.

By the time she got to the kitchen, no one was here at this time.

Unlike the third floor where Carl was located, the kitchen door was locked tightly, and you couldn't get in without the key.

But just a lock can't stop Seliel's steps.

She first looked around to make sure no one was nearby.

I saw Cyril press her index finger on the door lock. The fingertip had softened and deformed, and she inserted it bit by bit, and it fit the keyhole perfectly!

With a soft click, the kitchen door was opened by her.

If Carl saw this scene here, he would definitely think that this guy is a robot sent by Skynet!

Carefully opening the door, Cyril entered the kitchen sideways, looking for the knives she needed in the dark.

Soon she found what she needed on the knife rack.

So she decisively picked up the kitchen knife and stabbed herself in the abdomen.

After the kitchen knife was completely inserted into her body, she quietly returned to the kitchen door.

As a result, after returning to the kitchen door, an unexpected change occurred.

Ceryl clearly remembered that after entering the kitchen, she just pulled the door open and kept it ajar, but in less than a minute, the kitchen door was already locked tightly!

She was very sure that she didn't lock the door after she came in. She checked inside and outside the kitchen and there was no sign of anyone. She definitely didn't hear the sound of the door lock closing just now.

This is weird!

In this case, Cyril has no intention of touching this door that is obviously not right. According to her experience, the weirdness of this field is most likely reflected in this inexplicably closed door.

After carefully stepping away, Seliel took a look at the internal structure of the kitchen.

Apart from that gate, there seems to be no way out.

Ceryl is in trouble!

On the other side, Karl also returned to the second floor again. He quietly returned to the place where he met the maid before. Sure enough, this guy was still here.

This time, Karl did not ignore this guy in a hurry, but secretly observed the maid first.

In addition to wearing the same maid outfit as everyone else, this middle-aged woman has a lot of freckles on her face and her withered hair is wrapped in a scarf. It is obvious at a glance that her health is not good.

While cleaning up the corridor, her eyes would wander far away from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.

At that moment, Karl was sure that this guy was definitely a big problem, so he came out of the corner and walked over like a normal walk.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Seeing Karl walking towards her, the maid said obviously panicked.

Walking in front of her in two steps, Karl looked at the maid who was half-kneeling on the ground mopping the floor.

He said straight to the point, "Where did you hide the gem?"

"ah!?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the maid screamed in surprise, her hands on the ground softened instantly, and her bent elbow knocked over the bucket next to her. You could see that her eyes were filled with fear.

Realizing that she had hit the bucket, she quickly picked up the bucket that had fallen on the ground and all the water had flowed out. At the same time, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Karl.

He said in a low voice with a trembling tone.

"You...are you kidding me?"

"How could I possibly know where the gem is?"

"Don't expect to get away with it."

Karl's cold voice sounded above her head, and the maid felt that she had fallen into the endless darkness little by little. Her stealing of gems had been exposed. There was nothing but despair waiting for her ahead!

The little courage she had just squeezed out immediately disappeared without a trace, but despite this she still made the final struggle.

"You can't...wrongfully accuse a good person."

"I have worked here for more than ten years. How could I do such a thing to my master when I am about to retire safely?"

"Hair." Karl said coldly.

"hair?"

"I found a withered yellow hair at the scene. You are the only one with hair of this color in this manor. This proof is enough to send you to jail, do you understand?"

Karl's words completely defeated the maid in front of him.

I saw her kneeling on the ground in a daze, with nothing but despair in her eyes. Her unfocused eyes stared blankly in front of her, looking like she was in a complete psychological breakdown.

Seeing such a reaction, there was no need to say anything more. Karl walked over and half-crouched in front of her.

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and I can give you a chance. Now hand over the gem, and I can tell Cousin Scott that this thing was taken from someone other than me."

Karl had not forgotten his identity setting, so he decisively used this distant relative setting made up by Ceryl.

After hearing Karl's words, the maid seemed to have grasped her last hope.

"Can you really help me?"

She tilted her mouth, her chest rose and fell greatly, and she said in an almost pleading voice.

"If I don't hurry up, I might change my mind."

Upon hearing Karl's urging, the guy seemed to have a burst of strength out of thin air, and immediately stood up holding on to the wall.

"I'll take you there right now."

After saying that, she turned around and staggered away, as if she was afraid that Karl would regret it.

Following the maid, the two of them arrived at a warehouse on the second floor. They saw this guy standing in front of the door, turning back and looking at Karl cautiously.

"Sir, I'll hide it here."

"Open the door and go get it out."

"yes."

The maid then turned around and opened the warehouse door.

This warehouse is filled with all kinds of wooden furniture, and it seems to be a warehouse specially used to store furniture.

After the two of them walked in, the maid took him through the messy home, and then stopped in front of a duplex cabinet.

She was seen kneeling on the ground, her right hand reaching under the cabinet, but she couldn't pull it out after touching for a long time.

"What's wrong with you?" Carl asked curiously.

But the maid didn't look back and was still groping for something.

"What happened to you."

"without…"

"without?"

"The gem is gone..."

Under Karl's continuous questioning, the maid turned around.

"Are you kidding me?"

"I swear I hid it here tonight. How dare I lie... lie to you..."

As she spoke, the maid started crying.

Seemingly not counting on her, Karl pushed the woman away who had completely collapsed and leaned down to take a look. There was indeed nothing under the cabinet.

"Does anyone usually come here?"

"No one has the key to this place except me and the carpenter, and the ladies won't come here at all."

"Is it possible that the carpenter took it?"

"He is not in the manor today."

Karl frowned, what should I do?

When he looked around anxiously, he discovered something strange.

Just like what happened to Seliel, the door of this warehouse has been closed without anyone noticing!
