194: Illness
"You guys come and see this." Ma Hao put the family photo on the desk and called the other three members to the table to discuss it together.
There are a total of four people on this family photo, two men and two women.
One of the men and one of the women was older, the man looked the same as Andri in the newspaper photo, and the older woman, although there were no other photographs to identify, wore a pink lace bubble dress.
Vera recognized it at a glance, the dress was the same as the skeleton in the basement.
As for the remaining two in the family portrait, the girl, with a childish face, is a little baby fat, and looks seventeen or eighteen years old. The man standing next to her, about twenty-five or sixteen, was beside three smiling companions, and he looked slightly abrupt without a smile, as if he was not used to the joyful atmosphere in the photograph.
This family photo should be of a family living in the castle.
Andriy for the man, Monica for the older woman, and their daughter Lilith for the girl.
Only the young man who appears in the photo, his identity, everyone has no clue.
Whether it is Monica's diary or newspaper reports, it proves that the castle is inhabited by a family of three, and Lilith is the only child of Andriy and Monica.
But who is this man who appears in the family photo?
"Lilith's cousin, perhaps?"
Augs looked at the photo and guessed, "My cousin, who came to the castle as a guest, happened to be invited to take a family photo together, so he appeared in the photo." ”
"It's the maid in the house, the maid who is close to the owner, what's wrong with taking a picture together?" Eric said.
It's really nothing, just a photo, it doesn't say anything.
The focus of their discussion should be on the locked drawer under the desk.
"Augs, can you open this drawer with brute force?" Ma Hao wanted Augs to forcibly remove the drawer, and her intuition told her that there must be something important in this drawer.
Augs has no opinion, he does whatever he asks him to do. His brain can't keep up, and he's willing to do a little more hard work.
But the drawers, like those locked rooms, looked fragile, but no matter how much effort it tried, they just couldn't be opened.
Augs scratched his head, "Why don't I try to pry the lock open with a dagger?" ”
As he said this, he went to get the dagger next to his backpack, but Vera stopped him and pulled a bunch of keys out of her pocket.
That's the key that the president found from the maid's room!
"Don't worry, aren't we worried that we can't find the corresponding lock? These keys are not for the room, perhaps from the locked drawer. ”
Vera seemed calm, but in fact she was a little distraught, especially since the knocking on the door never stopped, and she tried several times with the key, but failed to meet the keyhole of the drawer.
Ma couldn't take it anymore and took the key from Vera.
She can see that the "smart people" in this community like to be blind.
First the president Rob was scared to the point of urine, then Eric bluffed a paper tiger, and then the heroine Vera, who behaved boldly and calmly, Ma Hao thought she was really fearless, but she didn't expect it to be strong.
It's no wonder that the Occult Research Society was finally wiped out...... IQ is panicked, where can I escape the clutches of ghosts?
Ma's good luck was not good, and she tried the keys from beginning to end, and only found the key to the matching drawer until the last one.
The contents of this drawer were so neatly arranged that Ma Hao inexplicably reminded of Lilith's room, both of which gave her a sense of order.
There weren't many things in the drawer, and Ma Hao found a photo frame inside, which also had a photo on it.
Unlike the family portrait, there are only two people in this photo, Lilith and the young man.
Compared to the expressionless face in the family portrait, the man in the photo this time has a little more smile, but it may also be because he is not looking at the camera, but looking at Lilith.
This cousin still seems to have some phobia of lenses?
What Ma Hao didn't understand was, why lock such a photo in a drawer?
She continued to rummage through the drawer, and underneath the photo was a report written in English.
Ma Hao didn't think about translating it herself, and threw the report to Vera, professional people do professional things, she wants to be a hand-out party.
Vera took the report and skimmed through it cursoryly: "The words are so technical that I can only tell that it is a medical certificate, and the patient diagnosed is Lilith, and it is written that Lilith has a heart-related condition. ”
She pondered with her diagnosis and took out the fragments of Monica's diary and spread them out on the table.
"You look at this quote from the diary - 'Andri still knows about it, I didn't mean to hide it from him'. Andri's letter to her lover mentions a genetic disease, and I thought Monica was hiding her condition. Now it seems that it is not necessarily her who has a genetic disease, but also Lilith. ”
Vera pointed to the handwriting in the diary and said, "Look at this sentence again - 'He likes Lilith so much, why should we have other children', judging from the literal meaning, the cause of their quarrel is Lilith's heart disease." It seems that Andri cheated in order to have another healthy child. ”
Vera was immersed in her own analysis, and Eric snatched the diagnosis from her hand.
He glanced at the dense professional diagnosis book, and for a moment he was dizzy, and threw it back on the table: "Damn, what kind of book is this?" If only Chavent were here, this guy is a medical student anyway. ”
The point of Ma Hao deviated all of a sudden.
It turns out that the president is a medical student, and she can understand why the president became a medical student. Tang Tang in the last world died of illness, so he wants to become a doctor in the new world, right?
No one else can understand the good things about hemp, they just look for the contents of the drawer.
In addition to the picture frame and the medical certificate, there are two keys in this drawer.
One of them was wrapped in duct tape and said Lilith, the room key they had been looking for for a long time, and it turned out to be here.
The other key has no markings on it, so it's impossible to tell where it belongs, but it's likely that it belongs to a locked room as well.
The knight at the door of the study was silent, and no footsteps were heard of him leaving, but the knocking at the door stopped.
Vera put away the medical certificate, keys, and two photographs with a calm expression, put them in her backpack, and then motioned for Augus and Eric to test the door.
If you can't get out of the study, it's useless to get the key.
I can hide in the study for a while, but I can't hide for a lifetime. The door can keep the knight's ghost at bay, but they will always starve to death in the room when they run out of ammunition and food.
Half of the day has passed, and at night the situation will be even more dangerous. They had to take advantage of the dawn to gather as many favorable clues as possible.
