After the quarrel ended, Yun Yeyao picked up the topic he had just asked and asked Yan Muheng: "Xiao Heng, didn't you find the light switch?" ”

"I found it, but it's broken, and it can't be opened." Yan Muheng replied.

Yun Yeyao then asked again: "Is the injury on your hand okay?" ”

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. By the way, aren't you going to ask the cook about the past? Then hurry up and ask. ”

At this time, Liu Qiao Pu also urged: "Xiao Yao, you hurry up and ask, if there is no electric light, we can't stay in the dark for too long." ”

"I know, Grandpa Liu, but this is the place where the hostess used to be, and I hope to be able to fix the electric lights and take a good look at them. Perhaps, it can also make the memory of the cook mother-in-law a little clearer. Yun Yeyao's words obviously mean something, not only the criminal police and the cook herself, everyone here should be able to hear it.

Everyone turned their eyes to the cook's mother-in-law and Sister Wang, although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but the outline of their bodies could still be roughly seen. Qin Sen opened his mouth and asked: "Mr. Yun, the cook and Sister Wang have said that they have never been to the third floor at all, why do you say that this place can make the memory of the cook mother-in-law clearer?" ”

Facing Qin Sen's questioning, Yun Yeyao pointed at the cook and said, "Let my mother-in-law tell you by herself, although she has told me very clearly before, but now, I still hope that my mother-in-law can say it herself, why does she keep lying to us?" ”

"Mr. Yun, I don't think I ever told you that I had ever been to the third floor of the main house." The cook asked Yun Yeyao rhetorically, her voice revealed that she was weak, no different from just now.

Yun Yeyao asked, "Do you remember the first time we talked in the entertainment room?" ”

"Yes."

"You said that the doors to the second and third floors here are known only to the hostess and the housekeeper, and the hostess usually does not mention them, and only reminds them when they come to the guest or occasionally remember, what does this mean?"

"The hostess doesn't want anyone to casually enter the upper floor of the main house, so she will remind the new guests, when you first arrived here, didn't Mr. Housekeeper also take care of Sister Wang to remind you?" The cook replied to Yun Yeyao, she hadn't figured out what Yun Yeyao meant by this?

But Yun Yeyao's next sentence made the cook mother-in-law speechless for an instant.

"My question is, are the hostess and the housekeeper reminding you? Or is it a reminder to the guests? ”

“……”

Sister Wang replied for the cook: "Mr. Housekeeper did ask me and the cook to remind everyone the day before yesterday that you must not go to the second and third floors of the main house, I heard him say this with my own ears, and my mother-in-law did not lie."

"I'm not saying that Mr. Housekeeper is lying, or that the Lady Cook is lying, I'm asking her why Mr. Housekeeper and the hostess are doing such a reminder?" Yun Yeyao continued to ask questions patiently.

Sister Wang said: "Maybe they don't want the new guests to walk around casually, after all, only the hostess and housekeeper can go to the third floor." ”

"Sister Wang, have you ever seen the hostess go up to the third floor?"

"This ......" Sister Wang was stunned by Yun Yeyao's question, she could only say: "I haven't seen it, in the past ten years, the hostess has not appeared in front of us, it is all horror and Mr. Housekeeper taking care of her." ”

"And what does the hostess have to say to you? Are they all terror and Mr. Butler who come to pass the word? Yun Ye asked Sister Wang.

"Yes, most of the time it's Mr. Butler, and the number of terrifying messages is relatively small."

"You can think about it, if everyone in this house really doesn't know how to enter the second and third floors of the main house except for the housekeeper and the hostess, then what's the point of them reminding them? As long as the two of them don't say anything about it, I don't think any of the new guests would have inadvertently opened the kind of mechanism we had seen when we came in. ”

They could have been silent to greet the guests, and no one would suspect anything, but such a reminder aroused everyone's curiosity, and maybe some people would have studied it in the house. As Mr. Butler, who has always been careful and cautious in handling things, would he be so stupid? ”

"Besides, the hostess, she hasn't appeared in front of her family for ten years, if she really doesn't want to see people because of burns or mental condition, then she just hides on the third floor, why do she still live in the main house? Do you want to take care of her in fear? ”

"Granny Cook," said Yun Yeyao, "you told me the day before yesterday that you had asked Terrorist many times to show you where the entrance to the upper stairs was?" Horrible always shook his head, as if he didn't know at all. Even when Yu Heng asked him, he only shook his head. I also ask you, is there anything unspeakable about horror? Can't tell. But you answered no. ”

"You said that terror is either a shake of a head or a nod of the head for affirmation or denial, and you're used to it, so the possibility of that I said should not exist. That is, there is no such thing as horror, but I just don't know how to enter the third floor? Mother-in-law, I ask you again now, do you mean that? ”

“…… Yes. The cook's mother-in-law's answer began to be hesitant.

Yun Yeyao continued as if she didn't hear it: "Sister Wang, you come to tell the cook mother-in-law, where did the horror go before you entered the third floor just now? What are you doing? ”

At this time, Sister Wang had already withdrawn her hand to hold the cook's mother-in-law, and she said to the cook's mother with an apologetic tone: "Mother-in-law, you really shouldn't lie to Mr. Yun, in fact, Grandpa Liu asked me to enter the second floor of the main house with horror, just to prove that you lied to them." From the very beginning, Mr. Yun was already suspicious of your words, especially the incident where you saw the horror pushing Mr. Butler into the snow, and the detectives had already carefully investigated the scene. ”

"Mr. Butler didn't push down the terror at all, someone framed the terror and made her fall off the overpass with Mr. Butler. I've always believed you're wrong about that, though, but the horror knows how the mechanism leading to the third floor opens this? Why didn't you tell Mr. Detective? ”

"I ......" The cook's mother-in-law paused for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Yun asked me if I knew the way upstairs, but I just said my guess, and I didn't tell me if she knew it!" I said that because I believed in horror. ”

Yun Yeyao sighed and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm sure that not only do you know that Terrorist has been on the third floor, but you are also very familiar with the authorities here, so please be sure to tell us the truth, okay?" ”

"Mr. Yun, I don't understand what you are basing your judgment on? I really didn't lie to you, Sister Wang can prove it for me, and my Xiao Heng, when the heavy snow passes, he returns to the mountain, you can ask. ”

Sister Wang also defended the cook at this time: "Mr. Yun, my mother-in-law's daily activities are the kitchen and her own room, and she usually goes out very rarely, I really haven't seen her enter the upper floor of the main house, I think it's impossible for her to lie." ”

The conversation between the three of them seemed to continue endlessly, and Liu Qiaopu and Yan Muheng didn't mean to speak, they just sat on the side with a few young college students and listened quietly, in the dark, the solemn atmosphere made everyone present feel the pressure, especially the cook in the questioned position, she began to breathe rapidly, and pressed her heart with her hand.

Yun Yeyao should have been able to see the cook's movements and hear her wheezing, for an old woman with a bad heart, at this time, Yun Yeyao should not continue to question, but Mr. Actor turned a deaf ear and continued his topic.

"Mother-in-law, do you remember what happened yesterday before Mr. Housekeeper's accident? At that time, because the hostess was missing, everyone gathered in the restaurant. Grandpa Liu, Xiao Heng and I went to the ruins of the side house to look for clues, Mr. Lian Fan went to the toilet and never came back, he should have inadvertently fallen into the rock hole at that time. ”

"Mr. Qin Sen, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Qiao have all gone to the brown tower, probably because they want to go back to their rooms to rest for a while."

When Yun Yeyao said this, Qin Sen interjected: "I don't know about the other two people!" I did want to go back to sleep for a while, but I didn't, so I quickly went downstairs again. ”

Yun Yeyao said: "What happened when I was not in the restaurant, Sister Wang has already told me in detail, Mr. Qin was the first of all to return downstairs, and he came back before your mother-in-law came down to inform Mr. Housekeeper that something had happened." And Miss Tao and Wen Manman returned to the room at the same time as Xiao Mei, and they were the first to return to the room. Is that right? ”

Tao Muqing thought for a moment and said, "It should be, I remember that not long after Miss Criminal Police went upstairs, Man Man proposed to me to go to her room to rest together, and then we left the restaurant immediately." ”

"Well, now let's see if you don't know anything about the secret passages of this house and the situation on the upper floors of the main house, as you say. With the exception of the men I have just mentioned, Mr. Butler and you have both gone upstairs, and your room is in the Blue Tower. ”

"There is nothing to doubt about these behaviors, but you and the butler did not go back to their rooms at that time, but went to the clock tower one after the other, and you thought that no one would see it, but unfortunately, Mr. Qiao was our helper, and in order to investigate the murder case under the mountain, he followed us to the treacherous house."

"So when you entered the bell tower, you only thought of Mr. Lu Haoyu, but you didn't think of Mr. Qiao Keli who lived next door to him."

Hearing Yun Yeyao mention himself, Lu Haoyu immediately asked him: "Why do they want to consider me?" I didn't do anything! ”

"Mr. Lu, listen to me patiently, your room is the one closest to the bell tower in the brown tower, in fact, the small door at the bottom of the tower is just a disguise, and the entrance and exit that can really enter the bell tower is your door. This matter is thanks to Xiao Hang, if he hadn't discovered the secret of the study door, we wouldn't have found out, in fact, your door is the real entrance and exit to the bell tower. ”

"Mr. Housekeeper thought you were all asleep and sneaked into the bell tower, Mr. Qiao overheard his voice, opened the door and peeked, only to find that he had entered Mr. Lu's room. At that time, Mr. Qiao thought that you were plotting something? But he leaned on the door of Mr. Lu's room and didn't hear anything, and when he told us about it, we were also very confused. ”

"We never found the right reason, and then, after Mr. Butler's accident, Mr. Joe came knocking on your door and asked you to go downstairs with him. He knocked for a long time and didn't hear a response, and finally you looked confused when you came out, Grandpa Liu and I both wondered if you were drugged? ”

"Thinking of the fact that it was Mr. Butler who prepared the drink for us after lunch, and the fact that Mr. Butler sneaked into your room, we roughly assumed that he should have drugged you to keep you awake in the room. But with that alone, we still don't understand, what is he going to do in your room? ”

"It wasn't until Xiaohang discovered the secret of the double door that we suddenly realized that Mr. Butler wanted to go inside the bell tower, and he didn't fall from the overpass at all, but was pushed down from the top of the bell tower, otherwise, there were so many people moving in the tower at that time, and anyone who wanted to move the butler's body near the overpass could not guarantee that he would be able to escape everyone's sight."

"Most people go back to the building to rest at that point, and if the suspect goes directly to the corridor, it is completely self-digging. It is even more troublesome if you take the secret passage, the secret passage between the two towers does not go through the sky bridge, and there are only two ways to get to the sky bridge: one is to enter the empty room that no one lives in from a secret room, and then enter the sky bridge through the normal corridor, which is no different from going directly to the corridor. ”

"The other is to go directly through all the secret passages, and then go around from the rest of the house to the overpass, then the only possibility is the roof, the wind and snow outside are so big, it is very difficult for a person to climb the roof alone, let alone drag an obese person, I think, even Xiao Meng can not complete such a task without the help of a ladder."

"So, no matter what, the murderer can't risk dragging Mr. Butler's body to the flyover and then design the mechanism. Mr. Butler must have gone to the bell tower, and the person who followed him to the bell tower must have been the one who pushed him into the snow, the cook's mother-in-law, Qiao Keli had already told us personally that he had seen a total of two people enter the bell tower of the treacherous house, and the second person was you, so no matter how much you defended this matter, it was useless. ”

"That's why I'm sure you're familiar with the authorities here, and Mr. Butler once told us that the key to the bell tower in this east house is kept in the hostess's body, and it is the hostess who regularly adjusts the time and winds the clock. After the Blood House incident, you and Sister Wang also admit that they don't have the key to open the small door at the bottom of the brown tower, and it is impossible to enter the bell tower. ”
