Chapter 12: The Identity of a Mad Woman

Hearing Qin Ming mention the crazy woman, the housekeeper's expression froze at first, and then said apologetically:

"I'm sorry young master, I should have scared you. The guy you're talking about...... Actually, it was my daughter, who I remember locking her in the room earlier, and I don't know when she sneaked out.

Young Master, wait a while, I'll go out and find her now, and then lock her up." ”

Qin Ming didn't expect that crazy woman to have something to do with the housekeeper, he shook his head at the housekeeper at this time, and said indifferently:

"Actually, it's nothing, I just didn't know who she was before.

But seeing that it's going to rain outside, it's okay for her to be outside alone, right? ”

It was overcast outside, and it was noon, but it felt like it was late at night.

"If it rains, she'll know she'll come back."

Seeing that Qin Ming didn't care, the housekeeper thanked him again:

"Thank you young master for your understanding, I promise to be optimistic about her in the future, and I won't let her disturb you."

"Hmm." Qin Ming didn't want to talk about that crazy woman anymore, and then he asked the housekeeper to lead the way, and began to go up and down in this western-style building.

The building has five floors, including the small loft at the top.

The first floor is the living room and dining room, and the second to fourth floors are the guest accommodation areas, adding up to dozens of rooms. And further up, it belongs to the leisure and entertainment area, not only can you watch movies, sing K, play billiards, but also have an independent chess and card room.

"Because the lord doesn't like to be busy, he has never entertained guests here, and even when he lives here, he rarely comes here."

The housekeeper walked like a tour guide, introducing Qin Ming to this western-style building. However, Qin Ming didn't pay much attention to it, because all the way up, he only felt that this western-style building was a haunted house at all.

Not only were the stairs blood-red, but even the paintings on the walls were starting to get bloody. Some are hearts, some are eyeballs, and some are brains soaked in solution.

The contents of these paintings are lifelike, and at first glance, they look like they are hanging on them.

"Why are these paintings all human organs? And isn't this fifth floor a place for relaxation and entertainment, but why is it so gloomy, and there are several dolls with missing arms or broken legs stacked in each activity room? ”

Qin Ming wasn't afraid that sneaky people would suspect him because he asked about these things, after all, the things he said appeared here, which was already a bit nondescript, even if he was a normal person who came here to inherit, he would definitely have to ask.

"These paintings on the wall, as well as the dolls we saw just now, are all painted and made by the old man before."

"But even if my third uncle can draw, why would he paint such things?"

"Because the old man has always felt that people will go to hell after death, so in order to adapt to hell as soon as possible, he arranged this place according to the appearance of hell in his imagination.

He said that only when he was more comfortable with these things during his life would he not be so scared after death. ”

After the housekeeper explained this matter, he suggested to Qin Ming:

"If the young master doesn't like it, I can find someone to redecorate this place."

"Although I really want to respect my third uncle, but I am naturally timid, if I have you by my side, otherwise if you are no longer here, I may have been scared to pee my pants here.

"Okay young master, I will arrange for someone to do this."

"There are also gardeners, janitors, and surveillance footage that also need to be installed as soon as possible."

The housekeeper wrote down Qin Ming's proposals one by one in a notebook, and at this time, Qin Ming's gaze stopped at the top attic.

"What is the attic for? What's in there? ”

"The attic is the old man's former studio. It was the place he used to paint and make dolls. ”

"Is the door locked?"

Qin Ming came to the door of the attic along the stairs at this time, and after trying to pull it, after pushing it, he looked back at the housekeeper who was waiting for him below:

"Do you have the key?"

"I really don't have the key here, and the master didn't give it to me at the time."

"Okay."

Although Qin Ming wanted to kick the attic door open to see what was inside, he thought that the sneaky gaze was likely to lock him firmly at the moment, so he didn't dare to act too rashly, so he had to hold back this impulse first, and wait for a good time later.

After all, An Zili and the other victims have not yet appeared, and it is difficult to say what will happen after that, so he can wait and see. Because there are many opportunities, many great good things, it is really not earned by hard work, but by patience and waiting little by little.

The attic couldn't enter for the time being, Qin Ming came down from it without hurry, thought about it and asked the housekeeper:

"How many people are there in the manor now?"

"Counting me and my daughter, as well as you, young master, there are five people in total."

"What are the other two people doing? Where are they and why haven't I seen them? ”

"The other two are the cook and his wife. The two of them went to the city in the morning to look for their son, and they should be back by evening.

Master, are you hungry? If you're hungry, I can also cook something to eat for you, but it won't taste like you're satisfied. Do you want to dislike ......?"

"Don't bother, I'm not hungry right now."

Qin Ming felt that this housekeeper had always been yours, and he was embarrassed to hear it, in fact, he didn't understand very well since he was a child, where this honorific title was "respected".

After getting to know this western-style building, Qin Ming chose a room for himself on the second floor, he didn't choose the one near the housekeeper, but chose one next to the staircase. This not only makes it easier for him to go up and down the stairs, but also allows him to hear the movement of the stairs outside more clearly.

Because he wasn't sure when An Zili would come over, Qin Ming asked the housekeeper to go back to rest after choosing a room. Hearing the butler's footsteps drifting away, he closed the bedroom door, lit a cigarette and walked slowly to the window.

It's just that he just got close and wanted to reach out and push the window open, when a series of deafening thunder "rumbled", and then the bean-sized raindrops "crackled" and fell on the window.

Looking at the window blurred by the rain, Qin Ming suddenly felt a suffocating coolness, and it hit him through the window. But even so, his gaze did not leave the window, but instead stared at it.

For he saw his shadow in the window, like an invisible claw torn apart, and suddenly split in two.
