Chapter 240 Investigation on the Third Floor of the Main House XIII
Seeing Sister Wang's appearance, the cook comforted her softly: "Xiao Wang, don't be nervous, anyway, we have already said what we should say, no matter who he comes?" None of it has anything to do with us, you say? ”
"Mother-in-law, I'm still very worried and frightened, and I feel more and more ...... The murderer of this murder should not be an outsider. ”
"That's not necessarily, Xiao Wang, you can't think like this, isn't it equivalent to clearing the suspicion of those young people and raising the suspicion in ourselves?" What the cook's mother-in-law said is not wrong, and it also shows that although she is old, her brain is not confused at all.
"Mother-in-law, Sister Wang, don't speculate anymore, Manman's last disappearance was indeed an accident, and I just guessed it. The reason why Manman was led here by us is because another person is helping, please be patient and listen to Manman first, and I will explain the rest of the matter. ”
"However, I always feel that Manman ......" Sister Wang wanted to say something, but Yun Yeyao insisted, because the husband shook his head at her, saying that if there was any question, he would ask later.
Sister Wang had no choice but to give up, she relied on the cook's mother-in-law, and her eyes never left the edge of Wen Manman's cloak and hat, hoping to see the familiar face inside.
After sitting down, instead of taking off the hat from his head, as everyone had guessed, he lowered his head and looked at his hands on his knees, which were kneading the fabric on the edge of his cloak, as if hesitating to let everyone see his face.
Yun Yeyao sat on the chair that Lu Haoyu was sitting on just now, and asked the girl softly: "Manman, tell me first, how did you leave the stairwell?" ”
"This starts with Grandpa Liu and Qin Sen's behavior, at that time, Grandpa Liu asked Qin Sen to see what happened in the gap in the wall? Qin Sen was reluctant because he was afraid, and after the two of them argued a few words, Grandpa Liu did not force him. In this process, I have been paying attention to a few specific people, they are Qin Sen, Lian Fan and Mother-in-law. Concerned about Xiao Fan because he had been away for too long yesterday afternoon, although there was an explanation from the police officer afterwards, it was still inevitably suspicious. ”
"I observed Qin Sen because I always felt that during the time when Grandpa Liu was poisoned and unconscious, Qin Sen didn't seem to be around everyone, I can't be sure about this, but I really didn't see where Qin Sen was at that time?"
"I was right behind everyone! You can't say that if you don't see me, it will make people suspicious, Manman! Qin Sen roared to defend himself and glared at Wen Manman.
Wen Manman explained: "Qin Sen, don't worry, I'm just narrating according to my own thoughts, and I didn't say anything bad that you did. As she said this, she still didn't look up, and didn't let anyone see her expression.
Seeing that she had explained, Qin Sen couldn't argue about anything, so he could only continue to listen patiently.
"Observing the cook's mother-in-law, because I think my mother-in-law is just like the horror, she didn't tell us the truth, if it is forgivable that others don't know the real situation 15 years ago, but to say that the mother-in-law doesn't know, then it can't be explained, she is the person who has lived here since the treacherous house was built!"
"Then why did you suddenly become so cold? Don't want to talk to anyone? Tao Muqing asked. Like Sister Wang, she desperately tried to see the true face under Wen Manman's cloak, but it seemed that her efforts were in vain.
"Why should I be apathetic? I don't know it myself! Wen Manman said: "You have to ask Mr. Yun this question, it was he who secretly told me that after entering the third floor, you must alienate all people, so that you look cold and ruthless, and it is difficult to approach." During my stay on the second floor of the main house, it really saddened me when people questioned me about my change. Mr. Yun, wait a minute, please explain why I want to change my attitude. ”
Yun Yeyao was also going to explain this matter, so he didn't pretend to be mysterious anymore, and said: "It's because I want everyone to think that Man Man is very similar to Horror and Shu Xue, I mean Shu Xue who died in Meng Qi'er's room, she was also in the secret passage of the brown tower, and Shu Xue who followed Yan Muheng to see Xiao Meng for the first time." As for the more specific reasons, but after all the stories are complete, everyone will naturally understand. Now, Manman, please move on. ”
"Okay, I was surprised when I saw that Qin Sen didn't want to look into the gap in the wall, so I kept staring at him and found that the reason why he fell down the stairs was because I glanced at my palm, and at that time I thought that Qin Sen's palm must have been stained with something terrifying."
"I rushed in front of Grandpa Liu to look at Qin Sen's hand, and saw the blood on it, which can be regarded as confirming my thoughts. I wanted to see what was going on inside the gap, but now that I think about it, you must think it's very strange why I was so brave all of a sudden. In fact, it's mostly because of my mother, I said last night that my mother is Wen Yuya, but I gave her a chance, but she still refused to recognize me, which made me very sad. ”
"Although I was still young in the past, I was not completely without memories, coupled with the things that happened now, I think that even if there is a murderer in this house, it must be the hostess hidden on the third floor. No, not at all. ”
"And I suspect that this hostess may be my mother."
"But, Manman, I asked Ms. Wen Yuya to follow Xiaoxiao all the time, just to prevent her from suddenly changing and acting privately. With Xiaoxiao, Ms. Wen didn't have any chance to enter the third floor, and even if she knew where the agency was, there was no way to avoid Xiaoxiao's surveillance. Yun Yeyao said.
Wen Manman tilted his head in the direction of Yun Yeyao, raised it slightly and said, "Mr. Yun, I ......"
"Manman, you shouldn't call me Mr. Yun!"
Yun Yeyao suddenly interrupted Wen Manman and said something that seemed to be a hint, Wen Manman was stunned for a moment, as if he understood Yun Yeyao's meaning, and immediately changed his words and said: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yao, I suspect that the hostess is my mother, and it is not groundless." My mother used to be a maid here more than ten years ago, how did he get pregnant with me and Shu Xue? Who is my father? I don't even know that! No one has ever mentioned it to me. ”
"At the beginning, I had the impression that I had never met Sister Wang and the current Mr. Housekeeper. In the past, there was an elderly housekeeper in the Spiegel who didn't formally meet me, but I once secretly saw his back while playing in the Spiegel House. This gentleman butler is about the same age as Anze, and when I saw him, Anze was no longer in the Spiegel House. ”
"Wait, Manman, what I'm asking you is, how do you get out of the stairwell? You haven't explained this question yet. Yun Yeyao emphasized his question again.
"Xiao Yao, to explain the reason why I entered the gap, I must start with my thoughts, and what I saw from the gap may also be inextricably linked to the past. I'll have to prove it to my mother-in-law later, because she is the only one in this house who can confirm what I said. ”
"But what do you mean when you saw that the former butler appeared, Anze was no longer in the Spiegel? You were only four or five years old at the time, and I think that with your mother's status, unless your father was Anze, the chances of you appearing in the Spiegel House should be very small! Do you want to say that you and Shu Xue's father may be An Ze? ”
Yun Yeyao's question brought everyone to the past again, and the cook's mother-in-law seemed to be saying something at this time? I've been looking for an opportunity to interject, but I can't catch the gap between the two of them.
Wen Manman replied: "No matter how you guess, I have only some vague memories of what happened back then, and as for how much it is the same as the facts, it can only be confirmed by the cook mother-in-law." I don't know who our father is? Whether it's a housekeeper or An Ze, I don't care about any of this. ”
"I mean, I suspect that Mr. Butler is An Ze, I saw him before the fire, at that time I didn't go to the Spiegel House occasionally, but I could often go with my mother, and no one ever stopped Shu Xue and me from entering the Spiegel House."
"But at first, I didn't see or find out at all that Mr. Butler was in the Spiegel House. Everything there is managed by the hostess. My mother was often busy in the kitchen at the time, and the hostess would stay in the study for a long time. Later, the hostess did not know why she did not appear again, and so did Anze, and in her place was the mysterious butler who had never spoken to us. ”
"I haven't seen his face, only his back, and his figure and hair are very similar to Anze."
"That's why you suspect that it is possible that before the fire, An Ze was eliminated by someone, or he planned the fire himself, and played the role of the mysterious Mr. Butler, right?"
"Maybe, it's all my guess anyway." Wen Manman replied, and she paused for a moment, as if in thought.
The cook's mother-in-law finally seized the opportunity to speak, and said to Wen Manman: "Manman, what you said is not wrong, Wen Yuya was indeed the maid we hired back then, I think the hostess you are talking about should refer to me, not your mother." Before the fire, Anze and I used to manage the Spiegel House together, but we were his daughter's tutor and her daughter's stand-in, and Anze's daughter Anqian was hidden by him on the third floor of the main house, all of which I have already told Mr. Yun. ”
"It's not that I don't understand, what do you want to illustrate when you talk about so many copies of the past? If you really want to explain this past and what you saw in the gap in the stairwell wall, then please tell us, what did you see? All right? I think there are some things that I might be able to explain a little bit for you. ”
