After talking about the middle-aged woman who died in the brown tower, let's not talk about the clues around the butler's death, because if the clues of this murder case were to be called up separately, it would involve some aspect of our previous triple bloody puzzle.

My habit is that there will be chapters of inference clues between the stories at any time, which seem to interrupt the coherence of the story, but in fact, they will summarize some of the clues given by the previous stories that can tell the reader, which is very necessary in the process of intricate case reasoning.

Next, we return to the search operation of the people of the Treacherous House and follow them to continue to find the truth.

Inside the Recreation Room in the Main House:

Yun Yeyao was looking for the key to break through in this room at the moment, and Yun Yeyao asked the cook and Sister Wang how to go up to the second and third floors of the treacherous house, but they all said they didn't know.

Not to mention anything else, these two people have lived in the treacherous house for so long, and the cook is still an old servant who was here when the treacherous house was first built, and she has never even been upstairs in the main house, which is also too strange.

However, since they all swore that they had never gone up, it was impossible for Yun Yeyao to ask any further, so they had to find a way to find it themselves.

Liu Qiaopu's point of view is that this house may not have a second and third floors at all, and this statement of the old man is not unfounded, because from the outside, the house itself is not very high, and the windows are only available on the first floor.

However, Yun Yeyao still felt the need to look for it, since when she first arrived here, the hostess of the treacherous house took care of Sister Wang and emphasized to everyone that they could not go upstairs, then it must not be meaningless nonsense. Yun Yeyao believes that there are absolutely secrets in this entertainment room that they have not discovered.

Looking at the whole room, the upholstered walls inside looked very thick, and Yun Yeyao was standing near the gate of the blue tower at this moment, with a huge ping-pong table in front of him. Beyond the table, a couch covered in a blue corduroy cloth cover can be seen. On the right side of the sofa is a simple historical bookshelf, and on the wall above the sofa, there is a TV, which is quite new, even larger than the average home TV.

To the left of the sofa is the stereo, which is almost as tall as the back of the sofa. There was nothing on the left and right hand side of the wall, and there was a leather sofa near the tower door in the back, slightly smaller than the corduroy sofa, which could probably seat two people, and if you squeezed a little, three people could sit.

(Please remember my description of the interior of the house, this is not nonsense, and most of what I describe will be used in the reasoning process later on, and some will even become part of the clue.) ）

Yun Yeyao's gaze moved from the furniture and the walls inch by inch, and on the surface, there seemed to be no flaws, and the upholstered walls were also a whole piece. But Yun Yeyao's attention is not here. He was paying attention to something special, the edges of each piece of furniture.

He noticed that the edges of the furniture were surprisingly uniform, such as the blue corduroy sofa with a grooved frame that looked like it was embedded in the wall. The edges of the bookcase are also grooved, like the leak-proof device on the edge of the table.

I don't know if you have ever seen the kind of leak-proof table top used by children for eating, that is, the edge of the square table top is connected with a circle of small grooves like a sink, once the child knocks over the water or soup, the liquid will not leak to the ground, but will accumulate in the grooves around the table.

The grooves on the edges of the bookshelves and the edge of the sofa are exactly this shape, and Yun Yeyao's eyes shifted to the sofa behind him, and he found that there were also grooves. That is, in this room, apart from the TV and stereo, there are recesses in the rest of the furniture. So the question is, what exactly are these grooves used for?

Yun Yeyao squinted his eyes in thought, and he walked around the ping-pong table, his gaze turning back to the edge of the ping-pong table. There are no grooves on this amusement piece, but the edges are uniformly protruding outwards in a semicircle. Yun Yeyao measured the width of the semicircle with his fingers, then walked over to the blue corduroy sofa and measured the width of the inward curved part of the groove again.

He found that the two parts could coincide, but at this time he found that the edge of the sofa was not embedded in the wall, and there was not even a single gap in the wall.

Yun Yeyao tried to remove the edges of the furniture, but that didn't work, and he couldn't help but stop again. His mind suddenly thought of Xie Yunmeng's previous style of acting, so he put aside his doubts about the edge of the furniture for the time being, and used his hands to tap the surface of the wall of the upholstery.

There was a dull sound on the surface of the wall, no different from a normal soft-packed wall, and Yun Yeyao continued to grope and knock on the walls around her, but she couldn't find anything to break through.

'What's going on?' Yun Yeyao's doubts had now filled all his gray brain cells, and he hadn't even noticed that snot was running down.

At this time, there was a person who reached out from the side to help Yun Yeyao wipe off his nose, this person was very short, and he almost stretched out his arms on tiptoe to reach under Yun Yeyao's nose.

The actor looked back and immediately said, "Lady Cook, why did you get here?" ”

"I'd like to see how you're doing? When people are old, they are always very easy to worry, especially when they saw such a terrible thing just now, alas! I really hope that my old eyes are dizzy and wrong, and I am afraid that I am like this, how can I explain to Xiao Heng. ”

"Xiao Heng?" Yun Yeyao was a little confused when she heard this name.

"It's my son who always goes to the city to work, the terrifying boyfriend, he is also called Xiao Heng, and the last word of Yan Muheng's name is the same."

"Oh, don't worry, Granny Cook! We all believe that terror cannot be someone who hurts a housekeeper, and there must be some misunderstanding in this. We'll find out. ”

"That's good! What are you doing here alone? The cook asked casually, and the old lady's face did look very worried, and there was no blood on her lips.

Yun Yeyao said, "I want to find out where the door to the second floor is?" Hey, Lady Cook, did the hostess always take care that you couldn't go up to the second and third floors? ”

"Not really! Because the door to the second floor here is only known to the hostess and the housekeeper, so the hostess usually does not speak, only when the guests come or occasionally remember, they will be reminded. ”

"Then you haven't seen the butler go up to the second floor once before?"

"I didn't see him enter, but I was afraid that sometimes we would talk to us at night, such as 'What did the master ask the housekeeper to do on the second or third floor today?' or 'Mr. Housekeeper brought something good from upstairs for the master's house.' Anyway, I often hear about these things. ”

After the cook's mother-in-law finished speaking, she looked at Yun Yeyao, as if hoping that he would analyze something from her words, Yun Yeyao thought for a while and said, "Is it possible that the horror knows the entrance to the upper floor of the main house?" ”

"It shouldn't be possible," the cook immediately denied Yun Yeyao's statement, "We've asked Terrorist many times before, asking her to show us where the entrance is?" Horrible always shook his head, as if he didn't know at all. Even when my son Xiao Heng asked her, he just shook his head. ”

"Is it terrible why I can't tell you? Or does the hostess not let her say? I don't think Horror is a liar, if she doesn't speak, just shakes her head, is it possible that there is something unspeakable that she doesn't want to put into words? ”

This time, Yun Yeyao got a negative answer, and the mother-in-law said: "Mr. Yun, horror has always been like this for affirming or denying anything, she always shakes her head or nods to express it, and we are all used to it." So the kind of possibility you're talking about, I don't think it should exist. ”

"Then ...... It's a little difficult! Yun Yeyao's voice revealed helplessness, his eyes wandered around the room, and he continued: "If you can't even ask where the horror is, it will be difficult to find the entrance above the second floor of this main house!" Alas, one thing after another is about to mess us up, but fortunately Grandpa Liu is here. ”

"Yes, if there is a criminal police officer, everyone can feel more at ease." The cook's mother-in-law agreed.

At this time, the voice of Liu Qiaopu greeted from the living room: "Kitchen mother-in-law, please don't disturb their work, if you feel that you are in good health, help the little girl in the kitchen to cook the meal quickly." ”

Although Liu Qiaopu's voice was not loud, it revealed a majesty, and the cook quickly replied: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

Indeed, dinner time had already passed at the moment, and the two little girls in the kitchen didn't know what they were grinding, and they hadn't prepared the meal.

Yun Ye watched the cook leave the entertainment room, and the look in his eyes gradually changed from helplessness to sharpness. The cook seems to have come out of point to mention something to him, but Yun Yeyao still doesn't fully understand the key part of it.

For example, the cook has been identifying the terrible person as the one who pushed the butler down until now, but why did she go out of her way at this time and say to herself, 'I hope the terrible thing is that she is dizzy and misunderstood'? Moreover, the words of the cook just now were clearly emphasizing that the horrors knew more about the upstairs and downstairs of the main house than they did.

Yun Yeyao felt that the old lady seemed to be hinting, she must know something? But in case some people couldn't say it clearly, they ran to him and deliberately hinted at him with words. However, now there is no one from this family in the living room outside except for the cook herself, who does she need to guard against?

Frowning, Yun Yeyao felt that there were more and more weirdness in this family, he had to remind Yan Muheng and Grandpa Liu to be more careful, he suspected that among the 18 people who came yesterday, some of them were not coming to this house for the first time, or there were people in this family who had known before, anyway, they hid their true identities.

In this way, the real suspect becomes more hidden, and Yun Yeyao feels that it is necessary for him to find a breakthrough as soon as possible. He still thinks that the breakthrough is in the recreation room.

After asking and answering like that just now, Yun Yeyao already thought of a certain possibility in his mind, and this possibility might help him open the door to the upper floor of the main house......
