Yun Yeyao was about to chase his slippers, but he didn't expect the man behind him to be faster than him, striding over a dozen stairs and picking up the slippers.

"Thank you! Thank you! ”

"Ahh Husband, I thought you didn't make it tonight! I've been worried about it for a long time. ”

Yun Yeyao's thank you and the surprised voice of the woman in the room sounded at the same time, making the actor stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do, what had just been confirmed in the living room suddenly became a doubt in his heart, Yun Yeyao frowned habitually, he didn't know if he had made a mistake? Or is this person in front of him doing something!

Turning his gaze to the tall man who helped him pick up the slippers, Yun Yeyao did not politely stretch his brows, but looked at him with a strange, or can be said to be surprised, the man didn't care about Yun Yeyao's reaction, he walked around him and walked to the woman and said: "Xiaomei, I couldn't find you in those restaurants outside, so I thought you lived in this villa, so I followed them here to find you." ”

So what do you see? There is also the time of night, the little maid will leave at half past eight in the evening, and the proprietress has also observed the lights in the villa when she goes back, it is always dark, as if everyone has fallen asleep, but before half past eight, is it too early to sleep?

And the proprietress also heard one thing from the housekeeper who often goes out, that is, they are always very busy early in the morning, and the time flies very fast, after getting up at half past five every day, when the cook finishes making breakfast, the big bell on the bell tower always rings eight o'clock, which means that they have to use it for two and a half hours to do these things.

In the afternoon, the time seems to be much more abundant, and everyone can work with determination. The proprietress also asked them if they slept early in the evening, but Xiao and the old housekeeper completely denied it, and said that all the servants except the master of the house would go to the recreation room to relax at night, and would not go to bed until the bell tower struck nine o'clock.

His brain swelled and ached, and Liu Hang began to regret coming to this mountain again, he had never climbed much before. Why is this time around? Is it really just for that girl? Liu Hang thought in a daze, his chaotic brain made him unable to understand anything.

After lying in bed for a while, I finally woke up. Liu Hang shook his head, threw away those messy thoughts, and reached out and got up from the futon.

The central air conditioning in the room was very warm, not to mention that Liu Hang was also wearing thermal underwear, so he didn't feel how cold it was when he climbed out of the bed, but stretched comfortably.

What time is it?' ’

Because there were no windows in the brown tower, Liu Hang didn't know if it was already dark outside.

Sitting on the bed and listening attentively, Liu Hang found that there was no sound outside, as long as there was a little sound of walking outside in the room on the side of the corridor, he would hear it clearly.

He hadn't walked a few steps when a faint voice came from behind him. I couldn't hear clearly, but there was a sound coming out.

Liu Hang stopped, looked back and listened carefully, the staircase that stretched down was like a demon's tongue stretched out, reaching into the bottomless depths of darkness. Liu Hang paused for a while, and the voice didn't come again, so he quickened his pace and continued to walk upstairs!

——

…… The man's footsteps sounded like a switch, and after a few steps, the sound rang again! This time it was clearer than the previous one, a bit like a woman or a baby's cry, like something rubbing its claws against the wall.

With the fear that gradually rose in his heart, the man instantly stopped and looked back, there was still nothing, and the empty and deep darkness was becoming more and more strange in the black pupils at this moment.

The pupils contracted nervously, and the man hesitated to go down to see what was going on.

The kitten probably came in from outside last night because of the cold. No one noticed it until the shadow was hiding in this corner and accidentally stepped on its tail.

The sudden cry caused the man who had just come out of the room to turn around and walk in his direction, probably to make sure there was something downstairs!

The black shadow felt extremely annoyed, it was really bad luck, and according to his old temper, he would have already kicked the cat's ass. But not now, because it would make a louder noise, and it would have caused the person upstairs to rush straight down.

The sound of scratching at the walls was so unpleasant that as soon as the shadow's hand was released, the cat sprang out of the way, glancing at him with the eyes that looked like demons in the night.

'This guy despises me!' If I catch you again, I'm sure I'll make you a cat meat hot pot! ’

After passing by his room and the empty room below, it was Yan Muheng and the strange woman's room, Liu Hang didn't like Yan Muheng as a person, but he still politely said good morning.

Yan Muheng, who was interrupted from communicating between husband and wife, glanced at Liu Hang sideways, it happened to be the side of the terrifying scar, just like a ghost, Liu Hang couldn't accept talking to such a terrible person at all, so he quickly bypassed the man and left.

When I passed by, I swept the woman in the room out of the corner of my eye, and of course I was amazed.

Behind him, there was a woman's sweet laughter and talking, "Husband, this young man is so strange!" He seems to be afraid of you! ”

"I'm so scary, but you, I think it's scary......"

Ignoring the man's voice, Liu Hang only heard the word 'husband' in the woman's mouth, and a big picture of a beautiful woman and beast immediately appeared in his mind, which felt so vivid!

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the bottom of the stairs, and there was no one coming down from above, a man with light steps, a thin body, and well-dressed pants. The man had a face, not too recognizable but not ugly, with hair neatly combed back and slightly yellowish.

But his hair was thin and looked as fragile as he was. The man walked down the stairs and did not disturb anyone, that is to say that he did not greet anyone in front of him, but took matters into his own hands. It seems that he will not be afraid of the people in front of him to find him, and there is no deliberate evasion.

The snowflakes outside followed him into the corridor that had begun to be cold, and at this time it seemed that the snow on the overpass had been cleared, and no one was standing on the overpass to work.

The man who came in had a small black key in his hand, and he knocked lightly on the door one by one, and the sound of knocking was completely muffled by the noisy voices of the people downstairs!

"They! When she does not eat breakfast in the dining-room, the little maid Terrible goes to take care of the master's house at six o'clock in the morning, so she usually eats breakfast and lunch in the master's house; As for the cook's son's nickname is Xiao Heng, he went down the mountain yesterday to buy goods, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back only after the mountain road is opened. He is mainly responsible for all the purchasing tasks in the family, and by the way, he helps his mother with some chores in the kitchen. The butler leaning against the bar replied.

At this time, among all the original people in this family, only the housekeeper has the most words, and Sister Wang has been cleaning up the house inside and out, so she has no time to talk to everyone. They must have had breakfast before they went to find everyone.

The heating in the house was very sufficient, everyone had already taken off their down jackets and put them on the sofa in the living room, and a few boys even took off their sweaters and just wore shirts to communicate with everyone, looking like a summer party.

Yun Yeyao suddenly said at this time: "I saw the little maid just now." ”

This time, Liu Hang's expression was even more puzzled, and he asked, "Drawer?" There are no drawers in the room?! ”

"Then it's no wonder," the butler interjected, "that the big bed in the brown tower doesn't have a bedside table, so the drawers are arranged at the bottom of the bed, and you certainly haven't noticed it!" ”

"Oh, then I'll go back and find it later." Liu Hang suddenly realized that there was still more than half a cup of milk left in the milk cup in his hand at the moment, which showed that Liu Hang was also a person who didn't like to drink milk very much.

Yun Yeyao urged Liu Hang and said, "Hurry up, what happened after that?" "He's very interested in it.

At this time, Grandpa Liu suddenly said, "Hey! Mr. Butler, I heard Xiao Wang say that you know a little bit of medical skills, do you want to go and see the three injured guests on the side of the brown tower, they have not moved yet, and I don't know what happened. We're almost done eating here, so we'll tell the cook about something. ”

At this time, Yun Yeyao asked, "Are there any other entrances and exits over there in the brown tower?" ”

The steward replied, "No, a gate on top." In order to prevent strange things from entering, there are no windows in the rooms and corridors. ”

The butler's words undoubtedly affirmed that it was an impossible event for the black cat to enter the corridor at night, but everyone was still a little skeptical about his statement, because who knows if the servant was lazy or not?

Speaking of which, everyone must be very curious, why did I not mention the last two strange guests? They should have come with the army for breakfast!

This has to do with Yan Muheng's wife Xiaomei. It's not that she hasn't come out for breakfast yet, but after three or two bites of breakfast, she went to the recreation room to play table tennis.

These words made the housekeeper frown again, the questions asked by these young people were so strange, and the housekeeper said to Liu Hang very patiently: "It has always dawned very early here, maybe there is indeed a little difference between it and the city inside, our side is often less than half past five, and it is already dawn." ”

"Oh, that's right." Although Liu Hang no longer refutes, he is still very puzzled in his heart.

The snow was still falling in the sky, and a few people with watches occasionally raised their hands to look at the time, and the sound of the clock hitting was heard at exactly ten o'clock. Everyone felt that the morning seemed to pass very quickly, and it was already ten o'clock before they had done a few things, and Grandpa Liu and Xiaomei should be the ones who felt the deepest among them.

Yan Muheng arrived almost at the end of the avalanche, according to the proprietress at the time: they were in chaos, they were desperately trying to rescue the six people who had just come out of danger, Yan Muheng appeared in the crowd unknowingly at this time, and no one knew when he came. ”

Thinking about these words now, it is very suspicious, what if Yan Muheng has been monitoring the three injured people? What if Yan Muheng came with them when they were rescuing the injured?

Things gradually began to complicate in Yun Yeyao's heart, and he no longer looked at Yan Muheng and Xiaomei with the same mood as early in the morning, and the look in his eyes became sharper and calmer.

The subtle changes that occurred in Yun Yeyao's body seemed to be noticed by no one, but just as he was about to enter the room, Xiao Mei walked up and gently pushed him.

When the housekeeper wanted to raise his hand and knock on the door again, Yan Muheng stopped him and said, "I think, even if you are not a thief, someone who locks himself in someone else's room for a few hours must have some ulterior motive!" If you agree, how about giving me this door? ”

The housekeeper didn't understand what Yan Muheng meant for a while, the first was because there had never been a crime in this mountain, so they didn't have too high vigilance; The second is because he doesn't understand what Yan Muheng means by asking him to hand over the door to him? Did you give him the spare key?

So the butler said, "If the door is locked from the inside, it can't be opened with a key outside!" ”

At this time, Yun Yeyao seemed to have understood what Yan Muheng meant, and he picked up the conversation and explained to the housekeeper: "Mr. Yan means that if you agree, he can break open this door. ”

"Well, Xiao Yun, your analysis is very reasonable, if someone can identify the composition of the blood at this time." Liu Qiaopu nodded in agreement, then turned to the blood and looked carefully.

With the naked eye alone, it is really impossible to tell whether it is human blood or animal blood. And there's a problem: even if it's a horrific scene created by killing animals, where do the carcasses of animals go?

For the time being, there is no way to answer all this, and there is no way to ask the police for help on the mountain, so the four of them can only exit the room after a simple investigation, in order not to destroy the scene, they are very careful not to leave any footprints on the blood, and try not to mess with the things in the room, so as not to deviate in the future investigation.

Now, I will never be able to have all this, I feel really pitiful, and I should not have told my father about that dream in the first place.

Regret and chagrin made my spirit worse day by day, but my father didn't notice it, and still kept forcing me to imagine and dream. Until I can't squeeze a little oil or water out of this skin.

Yes, you're right, I'm resentful, one might even say hateful, but to whom should I vent this feeling? Alas...... It didn't work, so I could only bury it in my heart and hide in my favorite study to bear it silently.

After living in Spiegel for almost a year, my father's incident could no longer be sustained, even if he made me dream all day long, I couldn't do it, I couldn't say the right thing anymore, so he gave up.

Xiao Mei still had the residual blood on her hands that had not been wiped off, so in order not to cause panic among everyone, she secretly put her hands behind her back to prepare to wipe them clean with the folds of her skirt.

"No, use this." Old man Liuqiao Pu said suddenly, his eyes were still looking ahead, but in the palms hanging on his sides, he didn't know when there were a few more napkins.

"Grandpa Liu, your observation skills are really good!" Xiao Mei smiled and whispered a word of praise, and then gently took the napkin with the tip of her fingers.

Liu Qiaopu didn't continue to speak, as an old criminal policeman, it was necessary for him to suspect anyone now, including Xiao Mei around him. So now, he had to listen to what everyone was saying, and use it as the basis for his next judgment.

Sister Wang walked in from the direction of the living room tiredly and said to the housekeeper, "The hostess and the horror are gone!" I searched around the study and their rooms to no avail. ”

"Are you sure?" The housekeeper immediately stood up, and Sister Wang's words seemed to have given him a big blow, and said, "I'll come back when I go." With that, Mr. Butler rushed into the living room in three steps and two steps.

"Grandpa Liu, I'll leave it to you here, I'll take a look too." After Yun Yeyao turned around and said something to Liuqiao Pu, he immediately followed the housekeeper.

"Good!" Liu Qiaopu knew what he meant, and he didn't say anything, and sat down on an empty seat on the edge of the dining table. The old detective's eyes always fell on the people in the restaurant, and he didn't dare to slack off.

At this moment, Yan Muheng also wanted to go with Yun Yeyao, he obviously showed a worried look on his face, but as soon as he walked a few steps, he was pulled by Xiao Mei behind him, Xiao Mei frowned, and kept shaking his head at Yan Muheng, as if he didn't want him to leave his side because he was uneasy.

"I see, that's why you rushed over so nervously just now." Yun Yeyao said.

This sentence made the butler realize something, and there was a slight dissatisfaction in his words, "Do you think I will be for some other reason?" ”

"No, don't get me wrong, Mr. Butler, I just can't quite understand why going out for a walk is a big deal? That's why I asked. Yun Yeyao hurriedly explained.

This sentence made the butler's serious expression relax, and said: "We can't delay here, we have to hurry outside the house to find it, in case something happens, it will be troublesome, and there is no way to solve it alone." ”

What gift will he bring me when he comes back this time?" If it's better than last time, I'll give one to the proprietress here, and it's all thanks to her understanding all these years that those people in the villa haven't discovered my secret. ’

The girl actually knows everything the boss lady does, he knows that the boss lady is peeping into her secrets, and he also knows that the boss lady is deliberately helping her hide the secret. But as long as the latter exists, the former girl can be ignored.

Cranky to make the girl a little sleepy, she covered her mouth and yawned, then got up from her chair and looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock.

I should do some work, I can't be stupid like this all the time, after all, the boss's salary is not for nothing. The girl thought, looking around the kitchen, "Why don't I clean up here, it's so dirty." ’

But this idea was immediately rejected by her, because some kitchens are difficult to clean, and the girl did not want her hands to be soaked in dish soap or decontamination for a long time.

Because of the cold weather in the mountains, there is no need for a refrigerator in the warehouse at all. And it's easier to go up and down the mountain in summer, and no one will stock up on food in the short summer.

Horror looked carefully at the hanging sign, found the pile of grain belonging to the proprietress, took a small wooden cart from the side, and put the small bags of rice, meat and some vegetables on the cart, of course, the big bags should be left for the proprietress to use herself, even if there are many people in the villa, it is impossible to eat so many things in two or three days, such a cart is generally enough.

Terror has never been a greedy girl materially, but she is very greedy in love, and even Xiao Heng's rare glance at other girls will make her very, very angry.

After looking at the same, Horror tried to lift the handle of the cart with both hands, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he suddenly felt his arm go weak, and the cart tilted on the ground with a click, and a bag of rice immediately slid down.

The two of them walked through the not wide passage between the tower and the main house, and shouted the name of the hostess and the terrible, and at this moment the wind and snow on the mountain were heavier than yesterday, and the snow was almost up to the calf, Yun Yeyao said to the butler, "Is it really possible for the hostess to come outside?" It's hard for anyone who hasn't been injured in this kind of weather to walk! ”

"That's true, I don't think it's very likely, but I've searched almost all the houses just now, and we've made several trips back and forth to the brown tower, but there are no hostesses and terrifying figures, so we have to look for impossible places." The butler's voice sounded very helpless, there were so many things happening in one day today, and he was probably very upset.

Yun Yeyao closed his mouth and followed the butler around the back of the brown tower, where the bell tower could be seen directly. The bell tower is very high, cylindrical, and the entire perimeter is much narrower than the towers on the sides. The huge disc on top is now pointing at 12 o'clock in less than five minutes.

"Boss, are you there?" The butler's voice was very deep and showed a slight old age, which matched his fat body and face.

Someone inside soon answered, but it wasn't the proprietress who answered, but the little maid they were looking for. At first glance, I heard a terrible sound! The housekeeper and Yun Yeyao were stunned.

"Horror!! So it means that the hostess is also inside?!! When the words came out of the butler's mouth, the door of the restaurant was opened, revealing her little red face, which seemed to be scared of something, and even her eyes were moist.

"Horror, why are you here?" The butler asked impatiently before he walked in the door.

But Yun Yeyao was anxious to know not this question, he wanted to know if the hostess was in the restaurant?
