Lin Xin said: "Before we meet the owner of the mansion, we can imagine him as anything we want, whether he is powerful or weak, but he gives me a very deep impression: he is a person of extraordinary wisdom, otherwise he would not have made so much money to be able to buy an island and build such a luxurious mansion." If the man who hides in the shadows is really the owner of the mansion, he can take away our companions so completely and silently, without leaving a trace, and his ability is also impressive. ”

When Luo Tong heard her say this, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "I don't believe that people who hide in the shadows will not leave any traces when they make trouble. It rained last night, and when the people hiding in the shadows hung Yu Jasmine's clothes on the bauhinia tree in front of the mansion, he always had to step on the ground! His footprints will surely be left on the moist soil. When we look at it, we will definitely see the footprints left by people who hide in the shadows. ”

Luo Tong didn't wait for them to answer, and rushed downstairs, hoping that this time she guessed correctly, the person who was hiding in the shadows would leave footprints on the wetland last night. She wanted to see if the footprints of the man who was hiding in the shadows were different from those of humans, otherwise how could he have such a great ability to take her companions without leaving a trace!

The other girls felt that what Luo Tong said made sense, so they followed her downstairs, expecting to see the footprints. Even if they can't see anyone on the island, being able to see people's footprints will give them a little comfort, at least let them know that the person who is against them is not the supernatural event they imagined when they were desperate, or that a species with special abilities is doing something strange.

The girls seemed to be concentrating on finding a priceless treasure around the mansion, and their eyes were about to fall off, and they never saw any footprints that had been stepped on by outsiders, and some of the footprints on the ground had been stepped on by the girls themselves.

Li Xiaocheng hung his head and said: "We searched around the mansion, but we didn't find any footprints. Did the man fly to the tree when he went to hang Jasmine's clothes on the tree? Or is he really not human, and he will not leave any trace when he walks on the ground. ”

Luo Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead, beat his sore waist, and said in disappointment: "It seems that I made a mistake again, our wisdom is really inferior to the person who hides in the shadows, he can always do things without leakage, so that we can't find the slightest flaw, so as to identify him." ”

Lin Xin and Wu Peony continued to search in the grass with sweaty profusely, with a look of swearing not to stop until they found the footprints of the mysterious person.

No matter how hard the girls tried to search for it, they found nothing, not a single animal footprint was found.

The girls walked back to the villa listlessly, and no one said a word, and they had nothing to say about such a result.

When he walked under the redbud tree, Luo Tong stopped and looked at the tree carefully.

The big tree was a yard away from the gravel path in front of the mansion's gate. Some of the branches of the redbud tree reached up the path. She remembered that her companions' clothes hung on the branches of the trees that stretched out to the path every time. Although it rained yesterday, the people who hid in the shadows stood on the stone path that left no footprints and hung their nightdresses on the trees. This may indicate that the person hiding in the shadows has been on guard and is trying not to leave any traces on himself.

Luo Tong told everyone what she thought, and said that it would be more reasonable to explain it this way, and it was best not to always rely on the supernatural for strange things that could not be explained clearly.

The girls all fell silent, thinking that Luo Tong's explanation seemed to make sense.

Lin Xin ripped off Yu Jasmine's nightdress, felt that she should clean it up, and hung it on the tree all the time, seeing too much, which made people's hearts furious.

Wu Peony asked: "According to Luo Tong, we searched all around the mansion, and there were no footprints of outsiders, which proves that the person hanging on Jasmine's clothes did not come from outside the mansion, and if he came from outside, he would definitely leave footprints around the mansion." In this way, the man who hung his clothes came out of the mansion, walked through the stone path, and hung Yu Jasmine's nightdress on the tree. That's why we don't see the man's footprints on the wet soil. ”

Li Xiaocheng said: "After you and Luo Tong said this, it made me suddenly open, in fact, the mysterious person we were looking for from the beginning should be in the mansion." ”

Lin Xin came back to his senses from his contemplation and said, "There is no one else in the mansion except us. Could it be that one of us hung Jasmine's clothes on this tree! But you beat me to death, I don't believe that any of us have that ability, in the middle of the night, the third watch went to the beach to pick up Yu Jasmine who sank into the sea, and then took off her clothes and hung them on the tree. Besides, we had been playing chess together last night and sleeping in the same room, who would have a chance to do such a thing? ”

Li Xiaocheng said: "My question is, who among us is so evil and has extraordinary abilities that simply does not belong to human beings?" I was able to take back Yu Jasmine's nightdress that had fallen into the sea and hang it on the tree. ”

Wu Mudan said: "If you have to suspect that it is the person among us, the four of us have been playing chess together last night, but Chen Feng left us to sleep alone, she should be the biggest suspect." But I don't think it was she who hung Jasmine's clothes on the tree. I don't see that she is such a person of extraordinary ability, she is no different from us ordinary people, and she is also timid. ”

Luo Tong said: "Now we don't know where Chen Feng went, maybe he was taken away by someone hiding in the shadows, saying that Yu Jasmine's clothes were hung on the tree by her, we can completely rule this out, she is not guaranteed now." ”

Lin Xin said: "According to the convention, on the second day of our partner's disappearance, the guy who hides in the shadows will hang our partner's clothes on the bauhinia tree in front of the mansion. If we see Chen Feng's clothes hanging on that tree tomorrow, it means that she was taken away by the same bad guy who was hiding in the shadows. ”

Luo Tong nodded and said, "Since we deduced that the bad guy hiding in the shadows is in the mansion, we should think of a way to find that person hiding in the mansion." I'm a firm believer that there must be something wrong with the mansion. ”

The three of them nodded in agreement.

The girls saw that Chen Feng had disappeared mysteriously, and they couldn't understand that the door of her room was locked, but the person was gone. Before she saw it, Luo Tong saw a big hand covering her mouth, as if there was some suction to suck her away, all these strange things made them firmly believe that there must be some mystery in the construction of this mansion.

The girls searched the mansion carefully, but they only dug three feet into the ground, and there was nothing unusual.
