The interior of the hostess's room on the first floor of the treacherous house, on the afternoon of December 31

Jokli and Terror kept talking this, during which Terror took a nap several times, and they were both woken up by Jokli in time, so nothing happened between the two of them, and Terror's mood was always very stable.

Now that the description of the horror had come to an end, Jokley knew something that Yanagihashi Pu and Yun Yeyao wanted him to hear. He knew that he couldn't push too hard, and that he had to let the little girl speak naturally, so when the horror stopped to rest, Jockley didn't continue to ask.

He stood up and glanced out the window, there was still a scene of heavy snow outside the window, and the fine hail hit the window frame like someone threw small stones from the outside, Qiao Keli said: "Horror, we can't stay here all the time, or let's go to the study, Officer Xie seems to have been investigating in the study just now, I think it should be safe now."

"No," she shook her head gently when she heard the study as if she was afraid, and she said, "Mr. Qiao, in fact, I have always been very afraid of this study, I don't know why, when the hostess was here before, I warned me not to go to the innermost bookshelves in the east study, so even if I come back to play the piano at night, I always have to listen to the movement in the study first, so that I can feel at ease." ”

"Why? How many of you are in the treacherous house? Could it be that there is a secret passage in the study, and it could not be that the hostess will go to the study at night and don't want you to find out, so she is lying? ”

"I don't know this very well, anyway, I always think the study at night is very weird, although it is daytime, but I still want to stay in the bright place, those bookshelves in the study always block the sunlight......"

Speaking of this, Chokley interrupted her with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Horror, except for the door, there is only one window in the front of the house in the study, but it is also blocked by the bookcase, what do you mean by always blocking the sunlight?" ”

"I remember when the hostess used to be there, she used to let me go to the study to get books, and when I entered the study during the day, it was actually very bright inside, even if the lights were not turned on, it didn't matter, I didn't know where the light came in? But as soon as you walk to the back rows of the bookcases on both sides, the light will be completely blocked by the bookcases. ”

"You're saying that during the day there will be plenty of sunlight in the center of the study, and the bookcases on both sides will be very dark, right?" Chokley asked, "But there is no window in the center of the study, and the only window is also blocked, and the angle of light cannot penetrate the corridor in the center of the study, so where does the sunlight come from?" ”

"Could it be a fluorescent lamp hidden somewhere? For example, behind a book, or inside a thick wooden plank, the hostess and housekeeper deliberately used it instead of sunlight to deceive other people's eyes. ”

Terror felt that it was difficult for her to answer Chokley's question, or what she had seen with her own eyes, and as for what kind of reason was hidden behind it, it was not something she could figure out, so Terror just shook his head vigorously and didn't say anything more.

This made the curious Chokley ponder, where did the sunlight come from? Grandpa Liu said that the door of the study can be opened separately from both ends, and if it is opened in reverse, it can go directly to the outdoors, which Qiao Keli has not seen with his own eyes, and it is impossible to believe 100%, so he proposed to go to the study with Horror, a large part of the reason is to study the door at the entrance of the study.

Qiao Keli believed that it was impossible for Grandpa Liu to lie, either the old detective had read it wrong, or it was a mechanism designed when the house was built before. But what exactly is the structure of this institution? Jockley wanted to study it himself, he had been interested in some machinery and mechanisms since he was a child, but he didn't have the talent for it, nor did he have the perseverance and perseverance, so he never studied these things again when he grew up.
