This inheritance condition is very strange.

But......

This is the Federation, and there are even more bizarre inheritance conditions than this, at the very least, Alexis doesn't need to run naked on the streets with his bare ass to inherit this estate.

So there is no reason for a few people to think in other ways.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Baker opened his eyes, walked out of the tent, and thoughtfully looked at Richard, who was shirtless, revealing a hairy figure that seemed to be walking deeper into the main hall, and smacked his lips.

Sleepwalking?

I've never heard of it.

"What's wrong?"

“……”

Baker glanced back at Barbara, who seemed to notice that he was not there, or had been woken up by the movement of getting up, and pointed to Richard, who was about to disappear from sight.

Barbara looked: "Sleepwalking?" ”

Baker shrugged: "Maybe, I'll take a look." ”

Barbara didn't stop it, anyway, the hell lord of the earth is already her man's little brother, and on this earth, there is something else that can hurt him, but: "Then you be careful." ”

Baker laughed and chased after Richard, who was already disappearing into the hallway to the manor.

It's just that......

"Boom!"

When Baker caught up with Richard, before he had time to do anything, there was a bang, and Richard, who was walking in front, fell directly on his stomach on the corridor covered with dust and garbage before he had time to clean it.

Baker blinked.

Half an hour later.

Richard Casul, who had wrapped a towel around his forehead with a water bag on his forehead, sat on the sofa and grinned for a while, after all, he had just been lying on his stomach in a frontal position.

The forehead is swollen.

The nose is red.

Kate Beckett and Alexis look at each other.

"Your dad sleepwalks?"

"Maybe it was my responsibility before, but now he's your boyfriend, and your boyfriend sleepwalks or not, don't you know?"

"I didn't sleep with me."

"Anyway, he didn't have it when he was at home."

"What's new?"

"Maybe."

Richard looked at his girlfriend and daughter who were singing and directly pretending to be a doctor to diagnose him, and couldn't help but say, "Hi hey, I haven't sleepwalked since I was a child." ”

After speaking.

Richard snorted twice, rubbed his somewhat bulging cheeks, and said in an urn voice, "Sure enough, there is a big oddity in this manor. ”

Barbara looked at Baker, who was walking back from the side hall not far away, "Did you find anything?" ”

Baker shook his head.

Again, that's the same sentence.

The old house, and the house built near the cemetery of a group of Heng Dead, is a normal thing that there is some wandering dark energy in it.

Baker didn't feel any signs of a demonic presence here anyway.

After a while.

Especially when Richard sleepwalked, everyone had no desire to sleep, cleaned up a little, and once again devoted themselves to helping clean the manor.

Although Alexis has not yet decided whether or not to accept the inheritance here, everyone is going to live here for a while, so it's over.

The building of Rogers Manor is a combination of a main building and an annex building, the main building is five stories high, and the annex building is three stories high, which is very typical of American manor architecture.

The fifth floor of the main building.

Baker directly called two or three demons from hell to help him clean up this floor, and he went to the large bedroom on the fifth floor.

The large bedroom is also a dilapidated scene, with dust and cobwebs everywhere.

Obviously.

Either Mr. Clive Rogers was too lazy, or Mr. Clive Rogers was too lazy to take care of his living environment because of something in the manor.

Baker prefers the former.

Cause?

Clive Rogers was a bachelor, and an old bachelor, and if he had paid a little attention to hygiene, there must have been a girl who followed him for the existence of such a manor.

Of course.

The second possibility is that Baker didn't think about it, just now, Baker went to the side of the annex building and took a turn, and he didn't find anything abnormal.

Knock knock!

Baker turned around, and almost at the moment when a few of the little cleaning devils disappeared, Richard, who was cleaning on the fourth floor, ran up and spread his hands: "Okay, I give up." ”

Baker laughed: "Gave up? ”

Richard said: "Yes, I have already called the cleaning company, and they promised to send a special cleaner in an hour and a half." ”

Baker smiled.

The phone rings.

Richard made an apologetic gesture to Baker and answered the phone, and after three seconds, Richard's tone increased: "What do you mean you don't accept this order?" ”

Baker looked up.

The call appeared to be from the cleaning company, which seemed unwilling to accept Richard's commission.

Interestingly, a professional company will choose to refuse when there is a list to the door.

Richard is definitely not willing to clean up on his own, if he continues to clean up, I am afraid that he is no longer here for vacation and adventure, but to be a volunteer, so Richard has made his own big move.

Money Offensive.

When the hourly cleaning fee was directly raised to 500 US dollars, the cleaning company over there finally relented and reluctantly said that they took the order.

Half ringing.

Richard, who hung up the phone, was a little speechless and said, "That's why I like to be in New York." ”

The implication of this sentence is that New Jersey is a countryman, a countryman, and outsiders are used to it, and Richard thinks that the cleaning company is treating him as a little sheep.

Baker thought for a moment and said, "I think maybe they were just scared. ”

The Rogers family is a famous family here, of course, this famous is evil, after all, in a hundred years, all the direct males of the Rogers family are GG.

An hour later.

Two vans with the logo of a cleaning company drove into Rogers Manor, and the ten cleaners who stepped out of the van had a somewhat reluctant look on their faces, and they only came here because they were well paid.

And the cleaners who came down also made a request to the employer Richard, who was going to leave the place before three o'clock in the afternoon, whether they were cleaned or not.

Richard's eyebrows twitched, but he nodded considering that this was indeed the only cleaning company willing to come.

Seeing this, the cleaner couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then revealed to Richard: "Mr. Casul, frankly speaking, I'm afraid that no one will dare to accept your commission to come here to clean up except us." ”

Richard scoffed: "Then you guys are so bold. ”

The cleaner frowned: "Mr. Casul, I'm afraid you don't know that in the past fifteen years, at least thirty-five young people have disappeared in the town outside the manor, right?" ”

"Does this have anything to do with this?"

"Through investigation, the police found that the biggest common denominator of these 35 young people is that they had been to the estate in the 48 hours before their disappearance."

“……”

The cleaner looked at Richard, who seemed to know the news for the first time, and didn't say anything more, but turned around and began to distribute tasks to his employees.

After all, 500 US dollars an hour is a lot of wages, even if it is 3 o'clock in the afternoon, if you calculate it from now on, it will be almost 5,000 US dollars.

Baker, who was next to him, raised his eyebrows when he heard the cleaner's words, and said to Barbara next to him, "Can you find out the case that this person said?" ”

Barbara nodded and took out her phone.

After a while.

The town's missing persons e-list was sent by Agent Daisy Johnson.

Ooh.

The number of missing people is really the same as the cleaner just said, no more, no less, exactly thirty-five people, and the age of the missing people is concentrated in the eighteen-to-twenty-five age range.

Alexis, who came over, was a little suspicious: "Does the local police station not care?" ”

"No body, no case, can only be missing."

Officer Kate Beckett said to Alexis from the side, "In fact, the police department in the town can do the missing investigation in such detail is more than 99% of the towns in the Federation. ”

The number of unsolved missing cases in the Federation is the second, and no country dares to say that it is the first.

For these cases, most of the town's police stations will not initiate an investigation, but will only stamp a stamp on the file and resign themselves to fate.

That's when it happened.

When the cleaner who led the team entered the main building to prepare for the cleaning work, he turned to Richard and said, "By the way, Mr. Casul, we are not responsible for cleaning the basement, and we don't dare to go down to that place." ”

"Basement?"

Richard was slightly stunned, nodded, and then looked at Alexis: "Is there a basement in the manor?" ”

Alexis took off his backpack, found the documents handed over by the lawyer at the time, flipped through the blueprints of the manor, looked at them, and then shook his head: "There is no basement on it." ”

Baker looked at the cleaner, "Do you know the entrance to the basement?" ”

The cleaner smiled: "Of course, there are two disappearances that I was in charge of investigating when I was a police officer. ”

Baker: "......"

A former police officer and now a cleaner?

Baker didn't think it was magical at all, after all, the officers of the New York Police Department had to rely on fundraising dinners to raise their salaries before Baker, the big donor, was lucky, and it was normal for a small-town police officer to quit his job to become a more promising cleaner because of the salary.

After a while.

The cleaner officer took Baker and the others to the hall of the annex building, and then very easily tapped the fireplace on the fireplace in the annex hall, and with a dull sound, the fireplace instantly split in two.

There really is a basement.

Baker raised his eyebrows, he had also checked the deputy hall just now, and he didn't find any secret passages.

Now?
