Chapter 42 Carl's guess

"Is there anyone?"

After hearing what Ceryl said, Karl immediately walked to the door.

In order to prevent this room from becoming impossible to get out of, the two of them brought chairs to block the doorway after they entered again, so that it could not be closed silently.

At this time, the sound that Ceryl heard came from the other end of the corridor. It sounded like many people were going up the stairs, and there were also many voices among them.

After just a while, at the end of the corridor over there, you could see a few people walking up talking and laughing. They were the people attending the banquet below.

Seeing this group of people coming up, Carl realized that the banquet was over and they were about to go back to their room to rest.

So he looked at Ceryl.

"Celile, do you want to try it?"

Cyril nodded immediately, and then her clothes transformed into a maid outfit again. After changing her clothes, she lowered her head and walked toward the crowd.

They planned to take this opportunity to see if these guests had any useful jewelry. It was for this purpose that Seliel approached the crowd.

Because she was relatively short, she basically didn't worry about anyone seeing her appearance when she lowered her head, so this guy just got into the crowd unscrupulously.

Karl could clearly see this guy's little moves. If these people had any jewelry that met the requirements, he believed that Cyril would definitely find it and bring it back.

After passing through the crowd, Seliel went downstairs without looking back.

After these people disappeared for a few minutes, she returned here again.

"How's it going? Have you gained anything?" Karl asked with concern.

Unfortunately, Selyl did not receive the goods.

She shook her head at Karl, "The jewelry on these guys is also not up to standard. It seems that this road is dead."

"Tsk."

In this case, we are still back to the starting point, and we still have to find the gem left by the boss, but where is the gem?

When he was troubled by this question, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Carl's mind. He recalled what the maid said in the warehouse before, and the female scream after he escaped!

All the information was connected in an instant, and Karl made a bold guess.

"Celile, we're going there right now."

"Alas!" Cyril looked at Karl with a puzzled look.

"Where are you going?"

"Come on, it's the warehouse I just went to."

As he spoke, Karl already took steps towards the place in his memory.

"Didn't you say that the gems there are missing? What if that guy is still there?"

Seliel caught up and asked in confusion.

She felt that in the past, she had nothing to do but seek death. This was not in line with Karl's heroic words before.

"That gem should still be in the warehouse. I didn't think about it before."

"Huh?" Ceryl was even more puzzled. According to Karl's description, the maid before was definitely not like this anymore and was still lying.

"That maid must have been taken advantage of."

"Why do you think that?"

"The news about the gems she mentioned before was inadvertently leaked by the head maid while chatting."

"Do you think this guy was seduced by the head maid?"

"That's right."

Originally, this kind of information should not be revealed to the servants. Someone who can be the head maid will definitely understand this. So why would she reveal it to the maid in 'small talk', even what the box where the gems are stored looks like?

Tell her everything?

From the dry hair of the maid, we can tell that her living conditions are definitely not good, and she also said personally that she is about to retire here. At this age, the economic situation is not good, and after knowing the news about the gem, she happened to be responsible for cleaning the place.

How could she not be greedy if she had a room with gems?

I'm afraid this maid was completely induced by the head maid!

Because the head maid knew that this guy would not dare to keep the gems with him after he stole them. Because these guys in charge of cleaning have serious suspicions and will be strictly supervised, she will definitely hide the gems until the time is right.

Take it out secretly.

So where would this maid hide the gem?

It is very likely that only she and the carpenter have the key to this warehouse, and because the carpenter has left the manor, she, as the head maid, has sufficient rights to ask for the key.

So this guy sneaked in quietly and took away the gem after the maid hid it.

The woman's voice that Karl heard before was the scream of the head maid when she was murdered in the warehouse!

Karl recounted his conjecture on the road, and Ceryl asked after listening.

"So why didn't you spot that guy when you were wandering around the warehouse?"

"That's a warehouse where wooden furniture is stored. Couldn't she just build a cabinet and get into it? I won't go to each furniture store to check if anyone is in it."

"But it still doesn't make sense. Why do you still stay there after getting the gem? Wouldn't it be better to just leave?"

Regarding Seryl's doubts, Karl continued to explain.

"First of all, the maid said that she hid the gems at night, so the time for her to enter the warehouse has been set after night."

"There will be a banquet tonight, and as the head maid, I will be very busy, so it will be very late when I have time to get the gems."

"And in that large warehouse, it was very time-consuming to find a gem that was one centimeter larger, which made it impossible for her to leave quickly."

Speaking of this, Cyril also followed Karl's idea to clarify her thoughts, "So when she found the gem, you and the maid came to the warehouse together, which caused her to be blocked inside."

"That's right." Karl nodded.

"This is why after I escaped, there was still a female scream inside. The head maid was killed inside!"

"That does make sense."

As they talked, the two of them quickly arrived near the warehouse.

Then the worst happened.

At the door of the warehouse, a man dressed in black and holding a book with the cover in his hand stood there, looking at Karl with a smile.

"Good evening, little mouse who is good at digging holes."

The man spoke.

Carl's pupils tightened when he saw this man. He immediately realized that something was wrong and whispered to Ceryl.

"Celile, go around him. I dug a hole in the south part of the warehouse. This guy's goal probably has nothing to do with gems, so it's very possible that the stuff is still in the corpse's pocket."

"and you……"

"I'm here to hold him back. I have to move quickly."

"You must hold on."

Cyril nodded and immediately turned around and left. Because the manor was a duplex, you could bypass this guy and enter the warehouse from the other side. Cyril obviously knew the terrain, so she set off decisively.

"I must guess correctly."

Just looking at this man like this, Karl cheered himself up and went forward.
