The tepid knocking sound makes the woman not know whether to open the door or not, because the person outside the door just knocks on the door but there is no sound, the woman wants to wait before opening the door, as long as she hears a word from the outside, she can roughly determine who this person is?

"Are you in the room?"

When the man said the first words, the woman was instantly relieved, she opened the door, and before the man could enter, she threw herself into his arms and said, "I thought you wouldn't be in my room again today." ”

"I still have something to do, wait a minute, I'll come over again, the maid just came to the main house, I see that your face is not very good, wait a minute, let the maid go and call Mr. Butler to show you, don't run around." The man said patiently.

But his words made the woman very unhappy, she said: "This is my home, and the Spiegel House belongs to me, so why can't I run around?" ”

"You have to ask Mr. Butler the reason, I don't know!" With that, the man patted the back of the woman's hand and left her door.

Previously, we described the first, second, and third floors of the treacherous house as 'solitaire' villas, so that we could make it easier to analyze their structure. As the name suggests, since it is a 'solitaire' villa, the first floor should be the strongest, and all the floors below are built on the solid foundation of the first floor.

In other words, all the 'cards' on the first floor cannot be removed or moved. In the same way that we compare the 'card' to a wall, the hidden door installed on the load-bearing wall is opened, which may directly affect the wall above and the moving door, causing them to displace.

After explaining the way to enter the first floor of the main house, the next step should be the structure of the entrance and exit on the third floor. Let's not talk about it here, let's take a look at Yun Yeyao and Liu Qiaopu's actions after they took everyone to the third floor.

Yun Yeyao had already figured out the reason for Wen Manman's disappearance before entering, and what he saw through the gap in the stairwell wall made him very worried, but for the time being, he couldn't rush back to the room he had with Yan Muheng just now.

When you go up to the third floor, you will see a winding corridor. The corners of each corridor are very close to each other, and many places between the corridors are walled, that is, they are close together, like broken pipes.

There are many invisible secret doors above the pipes, and those who are familiar with them can find a shortcut to the room they want to go to, while those who are not familiar with them can only look around and around like Yun Yeyao before.

Yun Yeyao opened the way in front, and Liu Qiaopu still paid attention to everyone's movements, he stood motionless at the entrance, and did not follow the team until everyone entered the corridor on the third floor. The cook's mother-in-law and Sister Wang were walking in front of him.

Sister Wang asked Liu Qiaopu: "Grandpa Liu, what happened to Manman just now?" ”

"You ask Xiao Yao, I'm dizzy and haven't noticed her movements." Liu Qiaopu replied in a low voice, his tone was light, and he didn't seem to want to go on.

Sister Wang knew that the old man's heart was like a beacon, but he didn't want to answer, and he couldn't ask any more, the narrow and dark corridor space here was like a cage for crowding people. It made Sister Wang more and more uncomfortable, and her worries became even worse.

In fact, what he wanted to ask was horror, but when the words came to his mouth, they became Wen Manman. It's impossible to say that she doesn't care about Wen Manman's situation at all, but the horror is like her daughter, and she can't help but keep it in her heart.

Episode 3: A man with an injured left hand and a man with a deformed face

The left hand continued to twitch and throb, and the second person walked to the entrance and exit with a helpless mood, but fortunately he was not far away, and he could still find the right position.

After more than a minute, he returned to the familiar place, and by the faint light, he couldn't wait to get out of the entrance and enter the transparent space. At this time, the mood finally relaxed, and the second person was ready to hurry downstairs.

Unexpectedly, in less than five seconds of relaxation, he was startled again by the man who appeared in front of him.

This time it's not a kind of action guy with a fierce face and a fierce face, and he pulls at the collar when he comes up. Instead, he was in a hurry on the spot, and his face was almost swollen and deformed. The reason why the second person can be recognized at a glance as a half-man man is because of his height and slightly hunched back, this person is particularly obvious as long as he wears a sweater, and at first glance he looks like a person who holds a pen all year round.

"Hey, hey! Are you also doing it yourself? It's too ruthless! The second asked, frightened.

"It's your business! I don't have a name! Feed as soon as you open your mouth! Half of the man was clearly in a bad mood and yelled at him.

"Are you also angry with the one above?!"

"Don't ask! Hurry up and go out with me, they are all in the entertainment room, go out and get the medicine quickly, my face is almost gone! ”

"Tut-tut!" The second man smacked his lips and said, "My left hand is about the same, let's go!" ”

The two of them quickly disappeared into the kitchen on the first floor as before.

(After the interlude, whose identity has been changed in the first, second, and third man?) Clever readers, I think it should be easy to guess. ）

The other man just pouted and didn't squeak, choosing to ignore his companion's words and continue to be a quiet listener. But I thought, 'Be proud!' Who knows what will happen after that, maybe my other personality will bring me the secrets and riches of the past, maybe I'm not that righteous at all, who knows? ’

The man with the gauze wrap around his face continued: "He just told me to shut up and listen to him. He said he had figured out the route, and then he gave me a piece of paper torn out of his notebook with three locations marked, roughly counting from the entrance, the first door at the third turn, the last door at the fourth turn, and the room where the two of you had stayed, which was the hidden room under the door. ”

"I thought he used some tricks to make you pass out, by the way, was the kiss mark on his neck really caused by you?"

"How do I know? I don't know anything about what another person did! Even in the snow, in the warehouse, what the hell did he do? I can't even remember. The man wrapped in his left hand said dejectedly. He was telling the truth, although the Eternal Heart existed in his body, what did the demons do in the dark forest? He really doesn't have any memory.

"I ask you, do you really like him? I don't think Mr. Detective is kind to you! ”

"Mr. Criminal Police and the policewoman are boyfriend and girlfriend, don't talk nonsense! Be careful of being heard by the fist of the policewoman! ”

As the two men said this, their eyes looked at the entrance of the space where they were located, where there were two glass doors, and there was a thick curtain outside the sliding door. At this moment, in the gap of the door curtain, there was a beautiful woman, this woman glared at them angrily, and shouted, "You two are full of food and drink, what are you talking about here?!" Get your stuff out of here, old people and girls, right?!! ”

In April 1999, in the cave of the Spiegel House

The thin black man in his 50s struggled to move, his waist almost bent to the ground, his hands clinging to the ropes on top of the sack, dragging the huge sack that emitted a rancid smell. The rough sack does not listen to the rubbing against the rocks, and the scraping sound is accompanied by the brown stains that flow out, which is disgusting.

Finally squeezing through the narrow crack in the rock, his shoulders and the outside of his arms were already covered with scraps of green moss. The water stains on the rock wall seeped into the fabric, and it was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver. For many years, he did not live a good life in order to escape the sins he had committed.

Long-term pressure and a poor living environment have kept his body in a sub-healthy state, but I didn't realize it.

The old man pondered what to do next, and as he continued to move backwards slowly, his back gradually touching the only soft 'rock' underground, this 'rock' was not just a camouflage, but also a special device that allowed people to hide behind it and survive for a long time without being affected.

The man knows very well that in the future, once he encounters an imaginary moment of crisis, this will become his only hope for survival. Therefore, he will never tell anyone the secrets here, unless someone finds out automatically.

In front of the soft 'rock' is a tall and narrow table, which was used by Anze to pay homage to his ancestors, because it is very inconvenient to go up and down the mountain, so every Qingming, Anze always completes the worship of his ancestors in the rock cave, of course, there are other factors in this.

In addition, the table is also a part of the mechanism, and there is a lever hidden behind it, and the whole table and lever are like the 'doorknob' that opens the secret door, which can play an unexpected role at critical moments.

No one can be found here, the man knows the changing truth of the world, he can't live forever on the protection of the Spiegel House, although the past things have disappeared, but the punishment may be waiting for him at some point in the future, so he must always be prepared to avoid death without warning.

"Me, I don't have a ghost in my heart! Grandpa Liu, if you say this, it will make everyone misunderstand. ”

"Xiao Qin," Liu Qiaopu seemed to be very close to Qin Sen, and even changed his title, he continued, "Do you still care about the blood you touched just now!" I'm not sure if it's the blood left by the corpse, why are you so scared? I saw that your face was very bad, so that's why I asked. ”

What did you hear the old man say? Qin Sen's nervousness relaxed a little, he put down his hands covering his mouth, and said softly to the old man: "I'm thinking about Manman's matter, Manman disappeared inexplicably in the stairwell below, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"This thing is really strange, that stairwell should not have any entrances and exits except for the gap in the stairs, but this problem has nothing to do with you, you are so afraid, it will make everyone think that you have a ghost in your heart, you know?" Liu Qiaopu seemed to be instructing Qin Sen on what to do, and said in a solemn tone.

Qin Sen nodded hurriedly and said, "Grandpa Liu, I know that this problem has nothing to do with me. But sometimes you really can't control your emotions, especially in such a narrow and dark place, it's easier to be afraid. ”

"By the way, Xiao Qin, you were sitting at the door of the entertainment room when you were in the restaurant just now, did you see where Xixi went?" Liu Qiao Pu changed his words and mentioned Xixi, this was the second time he had mentioned Xixi in front of Qin Sen and other dance academy students.

Cissy disappeared before they entered the second floor of the main house, and in the eyes of the uninformed, she, like Venmanman, had disappeared without warning, and it was unclear what was going on.

Qin Sen's answer was naturally the same as before, saying that he didn't know what happened to Xixi at all? Liu Qiaopu didn't ask any more questions, and continued to follow a few young people forward. In the darkness behind him, Sister Wang and the cook snuggled together, only the figures could be seen shaking, and they now seemed to be two completely isolated people, getting farther and farther away from those in front of them.

Seeing that Lu Haoyu and Qin Sen both sat down, Yan Muheng sat down next to Yun Yeyao, and after Liu Qiaopu's eyes fell on him, the old man looked very unhappy and said: "Xiao Heng, don't forget, before the murderer was found, everyone here now is suspicious, you better not get so close to Xiao Yao." ”

The old man's tone could be described as very harsh, Yan Muheng didn't expect that he would say these words to himself so directly, but after a little hesitation, the man still didn't choose to refute. He probably didn't think he had any benefit from arguing with the old detective. After all, it was in an environment where death could occur anytime and anywhere, and it was not surprising that Yan Muheng was cautious.

But Yun Yeyao fully understood that Liu Qiaopu was not saying this to Yan Muheng, but to him, because he had a solemn promise to the old criminal policeman that he should think about someone's future well, not just do it casually, but also take into account his feelings.

Therefore, Yan Muheng moved his chair slightly to the other side, and refused Yan Muheng's hand to reach under the table and pull him. However, Yan Muheng seemed to be very strong this time, Yun Yeyao retracted his hand twice in a row and did not avoid him, and in the end, he could only let him hold on to himself, which could be regarded as suppressing the gentleman's temper that was about to explode.

It's not that Liu Qiaopu didn't see Yan Muheng's resolute attitude, but he couldn't say anything anymore, otherwise it would really make people panic. So I had to turn a blind eye and find a way to treat him afterwards.

Everyone always thought that he was willing to accept the constraints brought by this role, but no one knows! He stayed just to find the younger one, to find the love he once had, to find the delicate person who was somewhat similar to Mr. Actor.

'This time, I'm really in trouble, Mr. Butler is dead, and I did something I shouldn't have done because of that guy's control, no matter what, no one can die, I have to take Meng Qi'er out." ’

Having made up his mind in his heart, Yan Muheng wanted to pick up Meng Qi'er's body......

"Xiao Heng, do you know why I followed them to this mountain? I've been eliminated, but I'm going to force a smile and follow them here, do you know why? ”

Just when 'Yan Muheng's hands were about to touch the girl's body, the girl on the ground suddenly spoke. Her voice was clear and powerful, not at all like the speech of a seriously injured person.

Yan Muheng was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the girl was slowly getting up from the ground, and she continued: "A few years ago, I started to have the same dream, and every dream is so real, even more real than real life. In my dream, I saw a small dilapidated home, and a pair of middle-aged men and women with dirty clothes and hands, who looked like coolies who had been working as coolies all year round. ”

"At their knees, there was a little girl who stared at me in her dreams, and her eyes did not blink. I thought it was just my own whims. However, as I dreamed more and more, I began to notice that little girl's face, both facial features and face shape, were very similar to my own childhood. ”

"It made me wonder about my origins, even though my parents were very rich, but they worked outside the home all the year round and forced me to move around, and I didn't have much relationship with them at all. Gradually, I became more and more convinced that the little girl in my dream was my relative, and I began to carefully analyze the scenes I saw in my dreams every day, every day. ”

Until now, the chapter of the Eternal Heart hidden in the shadows has retraced what happened on the afternoon of December 30, when Xie Yunmeng first entered the tower's secret passage from the spiral staircase on the periphery of the brown tower after Xie Yunmeng discovered the path to the bell tower.

At that time, he met Yan Muheng and Wen Manman who came in from the periphery, and Yan Muheng insisted that Wen Manman was Shu Xue at that time, and Shu Xue took the initiative to find him for help. But these two people are actually not the same as they were at the beginning, that is, for the first time, their second personality is placed in front of Mr. Detective.

At that time, Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao hadn't thought of this layer, so they were easily deceived by them. This may prove that Shu Xue and Wen Manman are likely to be the same person, but this conflicts with the story told by Wen Manman himself, as well as the performance of Sister Wang and Wen Yuya.

So are Shu Xue and Wen Manman the same person? We have to wait for more clues to prove it later. Meng Qi'er has nothing to do with the treacherous house on the surface, but we can hear from her own words that she may also be one of the children who were trafficked back then, but her fate is luckier than others, and her adoptive parents are in good financial condition, making her live a comfortable and prosperous life.

'Yan Muheng' stabbed her, the purpose was to let her be a witness to Shu Xue's attack on the criminal police, but we know that this purpose was not achieved in the end, Meng Qi'er died in front of Xie Yunmeng, and was stabbed in the throat by the skeleton in the wall, and died. In this way, it is still difficult for us to judge who the real murderer in the treacherous house is?

So, did Meng Qi'er really die in vain like this? Yan Muheng and Shu Xue, the second personality they showed, is really as ruthless as previously described, will they do whatever it takes to achieve their own ends?

Whatever the outcome, the sun will gradually illuminate the shadows, and when the shadows reced, the true eternal heart will be revealed to us, and the murderer will eventually have nothing to hide.

Yun Yeyao said: "What happened when I was not in the restaurant, Sister Wang has already told me in detail, Mr. Qin was the first of all to return downstairs, and he came back before your mother-in-law came down to inform Mr. Housekeeper that something had happened." And Miss Tao and Wen Manman returned to the room at the same time as Xiao Mei, and they were the first to return to the room. Is that right? ”

Tao Muqing thought for a moment and said, "It should be, I remember that not long after Miss Criminal Police went upstairs, Man Man proposed to me to go to her room to rest together, and then we left the restaurant immediately." ”

"Well, now let's see if you don't know anything about the secret passages of this house and the situation on the upper floors of the main house, as you say. With the exception of the men I have just mentioned, Mr. Butler and you have gone upstairs, and your room is in the blue tower. ”

"There is nothing to doubt about these behaviors, but you and the butler did not go back to their rooms at that time, but went to the clock tower one after the other, and you thought that no one would see it, but unfortunately, Mr. Qiao was our helper, and in order to investigate the murder case under the mountain, he followed us to the treacherous house."

"So when you entered the bell tower, you only thought of Mr. Lu Haoyu, but you didn't think of Mr. Qiao Keli who lived next door to him."

Hearing Yun Yeyao mention himself, Lu Haoyu immediately asked him: "Why do they want to consider me?" I didn't do anything! ”

"Mr. Lu, listen to me patiently, your room is the one closest to the bell tower in the brown tower, in fact, the small door at the bottom of the tower is just a disguise, and the entrance and exit that can really enter the bell tower is your door. This matter is thanks to Xiao Hang, if he hadn't discovered the secret of the study door, we wouldn't have found out, in fact, your room is the real entrance and exit to the bell tower. ”

After sitting down, Yun Yeyao said, "Mother-in-law, please start." ”

At this time, because there was no need to disguise it anymore, the cook's voice was much louder, and she was no longer so weak.

"I remember many years ago, when I was a child, I was very lonely, because my mother was gone, and my father lived a mess every day, not that he didn't love me, but that he couldn't share more thoughts with me, because he had a lot of things in his heart, and I could understand some things, but some things I couldn't understand until now."

"Alas! I haven't remembered the past for many years, so don't laugh at me, an old woman, and babble and say useless things. ”

"No, mother-in-law, if only you could open your heart to us." Yun Yeyao comforted, when he spoke in a very gentle way, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a halo, like a treasure that people can't put down. It's a fascinating charm and a temperament that belongs to him.
