Chapter 77: The Key Under the Carpet

Generally speaking, those who can be in the family portrait are, of course, a family. However, this Mary's blonde hair is obviously different from the black hair of this family.

Mary is a foreigner, how could she become a relative of this family? It is even more puzzling to say that she is the sister of this schoolgirl, or even the daughter of this couple.

Suddenly, a question came to mind, a question that puzzled me.

In the security room, I saw a photo of a charity orphanage, and there was a girl who looked like the schoolgirl. However, she is an orphan, how can she have parents?

However, in room 108, I was hallucinating, but I clearly knew that this female student had a mother, and her real mother was the woman in the photo. And the drunken nose man was her stepfather. Of course, this may just be an illusion and not a real fact.

However, this family photo once again proves one point: this female student has a family and parents, and is not an orphan. So, how did the blonde woman in this picture, who I think Mary, become a member of the family?

Also, why was her face burned off? Who hates her so much?

I analyzed Mary's relationship with the family, and it was none other than one of the following:

1. Mary is not related to this family by any blood, or is just a relative, for example, she is a cousin of the family or something. In other words, Mary was not the daughter of the couple, but only known the family. Even, Mary may have been just the little girl's teacher, and she was invited to take a picture with the family.

This possibility is very high, because I was in room 108 and only saw this family of three. The woman was married for the second time and brought only one daughter, the schoolgirl. Unless, she and her ex-husband have other children?

2. Mary is the daughter of this woman and her ex-husband?

If that's the case, the woman's ex-husband must be a foreigner, and Mary is a mixed-race child, just no

Yes, she inherited a little more genes from her father's side, so, she looked, like a pure foreigner.

There is a possibility that Mary's mother, the woman, was probably abandoned by the foreign man, Mary's father, and had to marry the rosacea man. But why did the schoolgirl, Mary's half-sister, look nothing like a foreigner? Also, why did the couple not mention Mary when they quarreled, but only the woman's youngest daughter, the schoolgirl?

3. Mary is the daughter of this rosacea-nosed man and his ex-wife?

However, I quickly dismissed this possibility. For one, I don't want to add color to this drunkard with a rosacea nose

The ghost man is on a par with Mary's father, and the two of them don't look like each other at all. In addition, it can be seen from the position of Mary standing in the photo: she is standing in the lower left corner, and the rosacea-nosed man is in the upper right corner, and the distance between them is a bit distant, which is not like the distance between a biological father and his daughter.

4. Mary was adopted by the family?

In this way, Mary was also an orphan, and she was adopted by the couple. However, this is a possibility

It doesn't seem to be big, with the experience of this couple, it's good to be able to raise a daughter, and there is a way to adopt another one?

After analyzing it for a long time, I think it seems that the first one is more likely. Mary and the family, perhaps just relatives, or just friends, neighbors, or teachers, students, and parents, seemed more reliable.

Regardless, though, I can be sure of the following:

1. Mary and this family, especially this female student, know each other, and they have a very close relationship.

2. The female student ran away when she saw me, which means that she knows me and must know the relationship between me and Mary. Perhaps, as long as I find her and ask, I can ask clearly, clearly.

3. Only in this 203 room can there be a picture of Mary. This shows that room 203 is most likely the room where Mary once lived?

Have I really found Mary's home?

At this moment, I was suddenly excited.

I put the frame down and flipped through the drawers of the cabinet again.

Finally, I found a notebook in the bottom drawer of this cabinet.

The notebook was fastened with a metal buckle, but it was not locked. When I opened it, I realized that it was a diary.

However, when I turned to the title page of the diary, I was astonished.

On the title page, there are a few beautiful, but hateful and murderous words!

"I've had enough of them, I'm going to kill them!"

God, what does that mean? Dogs men and women? Who is this dog man and woman? Who is the person who wrote this diary, he or she, and why did he or she kill the man and woman?

Since this is Mary's room, it's clear that this diary is most likely her own! But why did Mary hate the "dog man" so much that she wanted to kill them?

I could not in any way associate that beautiful, dignified Mary with a woman with such a deep resentment. However, these words in the diary made me have to doubt and waver a little about Mary's true character.

However, the strange thing is that if Mary is a foreigner, why is the character on it actually in Chinese? It stands to reason that the diary that records your feelings and the words used should be in your native language, right?

Could it be that Mary wasn't a foreigner, or was she actually a half-race?

I continued to flip through it, but unexpectedly, when I flipped to the back, I really found a piece of English.

This passage is very simple, even at my level, I can understand it.

"There's something under the carpet?"

I read out the Chinese meaning of this text, but I was taken aback.

What's under the carpet?

I took a look, and in this living room, there are wooden floors, where are the carpets?

I searched again, but I couldn't find a single carpet in the living room. Even in the bathroom, there is no carpet.

Could it be that the carpet is in the bedroom?

So, I went into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, there was a bed, but the bed was empty, there was not even a mattress, only a lonely bed board. This means that there is no one living here.

On the wall at the foot of the bed, there is a very ordinary landscape painting, which looks nothing special.

The bedroom is also covered with wooden floors, but in one corner, there is a flower pot, which is placed on a wooden table, and under the table, there is a small carpet!

Rug! There's a carpet here!

I crouched down and carefully turned over the carpet.

Finally, underneath the carpet, I found a key. On the top of the key, there is also a small sign with a few words written on it - "Ghost Hotel"!

Ghost Inn? I was stunned.

It turned out that the "things under the carpet" written on the diary were the key, the key to the ghost hotel.

But why didn't Mary just write "The key is hidden under the carpet"?

Either way, this key might be of some use to me. So, I put the key in my pocket.

However, with the key in place, where is the ghost hotel?

To be honest, I feel sick when I see the word "ghost" now, because it reminds me of that ghost hospital. Strange, why are there such strange place names here?

I took out the map, but it didn't show any ghost hotels. Isn't this hotel in this dead town?

However, I also found that on the map, not far from this Ping'an Street, there is a hotel, but the word "hotel" is only marked on the map.

Could this hotel on the map be a ghost hotel?

I looked at the map again, but I couldn't find another hotel.

Perhaps there is only one hotel in the town, or there are other hotels that are not marked on the map.

Well, anyway, I'll try my luck at the hotel on the map. Perhaps, what will this key really bring me?

However, on this key, there is only the name of the hotel, but there is no room number. There are so many rooms in the hotel, which room is this key?

Perhaps, in that diary, there may be some records or clues. Yes, I'll go back to the living room and look at what else is in the diary.

I was just about to leave the bedroom when suddenly, a gust of wind blew into the room. The bedroom door was slammed shut. Then, something, fell heavily to the ground.

I was stunned for a moment, but when I looked again, I found that it was the landscape oil painting on the wall at the end of the bed, which fell to the ground, and the glass was shattered.

I hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the painting.

The glass on the outside of the frame has shattered, and the landscape painting inside has also fallen out.

However, in the frame, another painting appeared!

Behind that landscape painting, there is another painting hidden? If it weren't for the shattered glass of this frame, I probably wouldn't have seen it at all.

I carefully rolled up the painting and slowly unfolded it. However, when I saw this, I was stunned!

In this painting, it turned out to be a hideous-looking foreign man.

He raised his eyebrows, a serious expression, a hooked nose, and blue eyes. Especially these eyes, sharp and fierce, as if they are staring at you viciously, trying to pull out your eyeballs!

As soon as I saw this foreign man in the painting, I felt a kind of coldness all over my body.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck and look down again. At the bottom of this painting, there is a line of writing.

"William VIII, King of the Louis dynasty, 1812-1853".

This guy is still a king? But why didn't he wear a crown and a royal robe, and was painted so frighteningly?

William? Louis? Sounds like a French name, huh? This man is the king of France, right?

However, after all, I am not a student of history, so how can I know what William has been? Even if I did, what does this have to do with me······
