10. The wish of genius
After the commotion just now, the insects continued to sound around the quiet place, although these little creatures didn't know what was going on around them at all, and still maintained their original singing, but Nangong, who suddenly broke into a "new world", really couldn't maintain a "don't care" attitude towards Winnie's affairs as before.
If it is the former, that is, Winnie is only reluctant to mention it because of the decline of her family, then even if she asks, she will not get any results, and it is not something that can be understood by a simple investigation. But if it's the latter, that is, for some other reason, according to the worst plan in my head at the moment, I'm afraid it can be found out immediately.
Because it's so simple and convenient, at least the most striking part of this cemetery...... can give an obvious hint. Now that I think about it, could it be that the unidentified guy I just met was completely brought in to investigate the truth? Who will it be, the nearby villagers, or ......
No one has found out, and the only guy who is likely to haunt has achieved his goal and will not stay here to arouse suspicion. Rather than confirming its identity, it is more important to investigate the situation of the cemetery, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the tombstone.
It wasn't until Nangong took a closer look by the moonlight that he suddenly realized that he couldn't read the words on it at all. It was impossible for Sister Tangerine or Elizabeth to help, Nangong was about to take a picture of the words on the stone tablet and go back to do research, but the strange noise behind him interrupted his thinking at the right time.
"Who!?"
Instinctively swung the knife, but all Nangong got next was a scream and a frightened maid who fell to the ground. The flame of the candlestick shook because of Chiannu's fall, and the only good thing was that it didn't fall on the ground full of leaves.
"Chianu? Why are you here? ”
At this moment, Nangong suddenly reacted, and the person who was least qualified to say this should be himself. Don't talk about trespassing into other people's cemeteries. And just turned around and almost cut the maid with a knife. "Anyway, let's stand up first."
"Thank you, thank you."
I don't know if it's a lack of a sense of crisis or the so-called "professionalism", Qi Anu didn't say anything about the "knife" in Nangong's hand at all, "Because I heard movement outside when I was asleep, I came out to check, why are you here?" ”
"There may be a thief breaking in."
Facing the maid who was wearing pajamas and carrying a candlestick and came out to check it out so recklessly, Nangong also looked a little embarrassed.
Maybe when you encounter a suspicious person at the beginning, you shouldn't chase after it, but remind and protect the rest of the people as soon as possible. Although it is undeniable that it is because the suspicion in his own heart is getting deeper and deeper now.
"It disappeared when I chased it here."
"Do you mean thieves!?" Chiannu shuddered nervously, the flickering candlelight reflected her pale face, "I have to inform my master quickly." ”
"Slow down, I'll be with you."
Nangong, who knew that he could no longer stay here, quickly caught up with Qi Annu's hurried footsteps. Rather than staying there and reading a bunch of inscriptions that you can't read at all, it's better to get a little information from Chiannu by knocking on the side.
"It's just an ordinary thief, so there's no need to worry too much. Compared to these, the place just now should be the family's cemetery. ”
“…… Well, it's the cemetery of the young lady's family. Different from Nangong's imagination, Qi'anu didn't have any resistance and said the information that Nangong wanted to know most at the moment, "I haven't cleaned it for a while." So you may need to clean it up carefully in the near future. ”
"Can I help then? In addition, about your daily purchases, can I accompany you if you can? ”
Nangong explained. "Because isn't there a thief coming this time? I think if you're eyeing here, it's better for a girl to travel with someone. ”
"Huh? But, but ......"
"Then it's settled." Nangong didn't want to give Chiannu too many chances to refuse, and although there were some reasons for protection, the more purpose was to investigate the matter about Winnie.
Although the surrounding area is desolate, it is not deserted, at least there are some small towns. As for Winnie's home, which stands alone, the townspeople should at least know something about it, if they don't know it in detail. And even this little bit of understanding is what I want to know.
"Speaking of which, is it only Winnie and you living here?"
Lonely mansion, vacant rooms. It is indeed too big for two people, although Nangong also saw most of the people who were Winnie's parents in the photo, but they didn't seem to appear.
"Winnie's Parents ......"
"Didn't you already see the words of the two old masters?"
Qi'annu, who suddenly turned around, almost startled Nangong, but fortunately, this meaningful sentence was not so difficult to understand.
What I just saw means that Winnie's parents are already ......
"The old master died when he was young, and it was my mother who was in charge of the master's daily life, but it didn't last long. The old master was a very famous gentleman when he was still there, but after his death the family business declined, and several of his former companions left. However, the legacy left by the old master is enough for the life of the owner, and the master's performance is completely a love for art. ”
The maids boasting about their masters are similar to the machine spirits desperately boasting about their masters, which Nangong has already experienced from Elizabeth.
"So please don't hate your master's performance no matter what." Although Qiannu's tone was sincere enough to be comparable to that of a girl when she confessed, this still made Nangong feel a little puzzled, "Because this is all the master's wishes." ”
“…… Well. ”
I have good reason to hate it, because for ordinary people, it may be a natural sound, but for myself, the notes played by Winnie are actually just harsh noises.
Let's not talk about whether music can really be enjoyed by everyone, but before that, it is basically necessary to use "real" music to make as many people as possible admire. But Winnie, the musician whose identity is now becoming more and more unknown, is only using a good-natured trick to achieve all this.
If you have such a desire, why bother to indulge in false facts...... Yes, if you have the chance......
"I won't hate it."
Nangong nodded, "Go back quickly, at least tell the people who stayed in the house about today's events." (To be continued......)
