As I went downstairs, I saw a yellow shadow scurrying along the wall.

Before I could take a closer look, the little thing ran upstairs and disappeared. What the is this? Is it only ...... Weasel?

But in a mansion like the Tan family, will there still be thieves like weasels running around?

I scratched my head, thinking to myself that I was tired all day long, and that I was wrong.

I went downstairs with two backpacks, and when I got to the living room, another small thing came upstairs. This time I saw clearly, it was a big mouse!

Tan Zhe, what's going on? Could it be the decay of the house? Even weasels and rats have entered the house.

Wrong. This is not right. The phobia of rats, in broad daylight, shouldn't be running around so generously!

There are quirks!

I ran two steps and followed the rat upstairs. But the thing ran fast, and disappeared as soon as it reached the second floor. The corridor was calm, and there was not even a single mouse hair visible on the carpet of peony flowers.

I muttered to myself. Where did they go? But a faint voice in my head told me, "Go upstairs...... Upstairs ......"

The voice sounded a little vicissitudes, but it suddenly brought me back to some distant memories.

It's the Patriarch of Ertu.

Lately, I've been so busy running around lifting the curse of death that I've almost forgotten that there is another soul living in my soul. Although he was repeatedly suppressed, he was always restless. All along, the two of us have coexisted and lived in peace. But I will not forget his ultimate purpose: he wants to eat away at my soul, he wants to take my flesh and rebirth.

It's something I've thought about for a long time.

It's just that why did the Disciple Patriarch, who had been in obscurity, come alive again at this time. Is he going to have some conspiracy again?

Patriarch Ertu quickly sensed my fear, and the voice in my head gradually calmed down.

It's just that I'm a little undecided: should I follow the guidance of the Patriarch to go upstairs? What will it look like upstairs?

In the end, curiosity finally triumphed over reason. I stepped up the steps, and the sound of footsteps rubbing against the carpet sounded in the empty room.

The main thing upstairs is Tan Che's room.

But the doors and windows of his room were locked, not to mention a weasel, not even a mouse could get in.

Looks like I'm overthinking.

I was about to go downstairs when suddenly there was a strange sound in Tan Zhe's room, as if something had fallen. I was shaken, and the footsteps I had just moved away froze! What's in the house?

I tiptoed to the door and listened, and I could hear the rustling sound coming from inside. It's like someone walking on tiptoe.

Someone in the house?

I suddenly remembered the terrace of the Tan family, and I should be able to see the inside from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the terrace.

I hurried around to the terrace, where the sun was shining and I could see not much through the gaps left in the thick curtains. And the wife is peaceful, nothing unusual!

I tried knocking on the glass, and who would have thought that the things in the room were frightened, and there were a few crisp sounds, as if some glass products had been shattered!

I didn't dare to delay, so I ran downstairs to find the housekeeper of the Tan family. But the housekeeper didn't have the key to Tan Che's room either.

I didn't believe it, and moved out of Tan Zhe's name to scare him, so he said aggrievedly: "Originally, there was, but a few days ago, the eldest young master was all leaving!" We don't really have a backup key for this. ”

There was no way, so I had to call Tan Zhe. I briefly explained the situation to Tan Zhe, and Tan Zhe suddenly fell silent.

After a few moments, he told me to wait and hung up.

About five minutes later, Tan Zhe's call came in again. I heard him gasping for a run. He told me, "Hold the door first, don't let the people inside escape!" We'll talk about it when we meet. ”

About half an hour later, Tan Zhe appeared in front of Tan Che's door. He took out a key from his pocket, and on it was the head of a white cartoon character.

Tan Zhe waved the Tan family's subordinates away, and then stepped forward to open the door. I smiled and said, "I can't see that your brother is quite childlike, there are cartoon pictures on the keys."

The door seemed to be stumbling, and Tan Zhe didn't open the door with a lot of effort. He struggled to twist the lock and said, "It's not my brother's. It's my sister-in-law's. ”

No wonder!

"I didn't dare tell my brother. At first I asked my mom for it, but my mom didn't have it. It just so happened that my sister-in-law heard it, and she gave me her key. ”

"What did she say about the meeting?" I have some gossip.

"What?" Tan Zhe was puzzled. I said, "That's why she asked you to meet." It was supposed to meet, but it happened...... Did she tell you anything? ”

Tan Zhe shook his head: "Now at this juncture, who still has the heart to think about this?"

As soon as Tan Zhe's words fell, he only heard the sound of "Kaba", and Tan Che's door was opened.

Tan Che is a person who can enjoy it very much, plus he has money, and the room is very spacious, taking up almost half of the entire third floor.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and the heavy curtains blocked the bright sunlight outside the window, and the room was a little dim, and I could faintly see that there seemed to be a pile of things on the table and on the floor.

Tan Zhe turned on the light, and we were almost taken aback. The house was a mess, like a battlefield where fire had been crossed.

Tan Che originally had a Bogu shelf with books, photo frames, and several crystal trophies on it.

But both of the trophies had been shattered, and there were debris on the ground.

Tan Zhe was a little incredulous: "My brother was still there the morning before yesterday, why did the room become like this just two days later?"

He leaned down and pulled out a bronze box from a pile of bits and pieces. There was a strange lock on the box, several black clumps on the lid, and a foul smell.

"What is this?"

Tan Zhe found a wet towel from the table to wipe the filth on it, patted it with some pity and said: "This is what Dad used to find someone to make for us, and the lock on it is called Luban Lock, if you don't know the trick, it will be difficult to open."

As he spoke, he tried to flick twice on the strange lock, which seemed to have something round in the cylinder.

I asked him, "What's in there?"

Tan Zhe shook his head and said: "I used it to load money, and I also loaded a guarantee letter written by my father for me, promising to take me to the playground on weekends." It was also specifically stated that he was not allowed to do the work for his assistant. ”

Tan Zhe seemed to remember something a long time ago, and the smile on his face was calm and satisfied. "As for what's on it now, I don't know."
