Mo Chen put his ear on the door, the corridor was quiet, he gently opened the door a gap, peeked at it, and saw that there was really no one outside, so he flashed out with confidence, and Wang Lei and the two followed.

Coming out of the study, by the faint candlelight of the stairwell, Mo Chen saw that the staircase was located in the middle of the corridor, and the study they were staying in was at the end of the left side of the stairs. Out of the study, there are two more rooms in the direction of the stairwell, but the door is locked, and it is impossible to enter. On the other side of the corridor, the door was hidden in a flash, and the room was also pitch black, Mo Chen was hesitating to go in, Zhang Zili suddenly came to his side, and muttered in a low voice, "Someone is coming." Before he finished speaking, Mo Chen heard the wooden staircase creaking when it was stepped on.

In a hurry, Mo Chen and the three of them dodged into the dark room, Zhang Zili rushed into the house, and the first thing he did was to go straight to the bed by the faint light of the corridor, and when he found that there was no rich family in the house, he was relieved. Mo Chen closed the door, sat by the door and listened to the movement in the corridor, the footsteps that fell on the stairs creaked, the movement was slow, accompanied by soft sobs from time to time, judging from the voice, the person who came was Mrs. Qian.

When the footsteps reached the second floor, they suddenly stopped, and the sobbing sound also stopped, and at this moment Mo Chen's heart rose to his throat, for fear that Mrs. Qian would suddenly come and push open the door. Fortunately, Mrs. Qian only stopped slightly, and then walked upstairs.

Mo Chen, who came back to his senses, then relieved himself and glanced at the room he was staying in, from the time he entered the house, Mo Chen smelled a strong fragrance, which was a little pungent. The fragrance seemed to be a mixture of the scents of flowers, about the smell of incense powder and rouge used by women, not to mention that the owner of this room was a woman. Zheng Yi said that the rooms of the lord and the wife were on the second and third floors respectively, and just now Mrs. Qian went straight to the third floor, so this should be the room where the second aunt of the Qian family lived before her death.

There are many oil-paper umbrellas hanging upside down from the ceiling, and although the pattern on the umbrella surface is not enough to be seen clearly in the dark, it is also enough to see that each oil-paper umbrella has a different style. On the hanger standing on the side of the wall, a bright red water-sleeved costume is tiled, and the placket is inlaid with a variety of jewels, faintly emitting a glimmer of light in this darkness.

Seeing this costume, even Wang Lei, who was nervous, suddenly remembered what Zheng Yi said, when the second aunt was not married to the Qian family, it was a drama that ran the rivers and lakes, recently, the second aunt passed away, although she was martyred for love, but it was also an unnatural death, coupled with the recent rumors in the house, Wang Lei couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

"Hey, let's change rooms!" Wang Lei suggested, but Mo Chen and Zhang Zili did not seem to be affected by the second aunt's saying that it was too haunted, and they had already taken action and groped around the room.

Mo Chen raised his head and looked at Wang Lei in the dark, and then said, "I'll rummage through Xiao Zhang again to see if I can find something useful, you can stand at the door and help us control the wind!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Lei was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to be looked down upon by his companions, thinking that he was too cowardly, but staring at the costume with big arms, he felt a chill down his spine, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, obediently retreated to the door, holding the doorknob with both hands, ready to pull the door out at any time.

Although the Qian family is not an official family, but the ancestors have always been in business, and the family background is also very deep, Mo Chen turned over a lot of valuable jewelry in the storage grid of the dresser, it seems that the second aunt is indeed very pleasing to the old man, the number of these jewelry pendants is comparable to that of the mother.

"A bunch of clothes, what's there to look at?" Seeing that Mo Chen had been tinkering with the wardrobe, Zhang Zili couldn't help but step forward curiously.

From the moment Mo Chen tore open the door of the wardrobe just now, his attention has been on these hanging clothes, Mo Chen carefully touched the clothes of the second aunt before his death, this light touch of the way, it can't help but make Zhang Zili misunderstand, whether he has this habit.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Mo Chen asked.

"What's strange?" Zhang Zili said, lifted a piece of the second aunt's clothes, and approached the front of him to take a closer look. "It's just a woman's dress."

Mo Chen stretched out his hand to pick up his clothes, and said thoughtlessly, "Whose room is this?" ”

Zhang Zili is confused? sighed, and glanced at the palatial costumes, "Second aunt, too!" What's wrong? ”

"That's it." Mo Chen immediately explained, "Judging from the costumes and the small ornaments in the room, the owner of the room is the second aunt, so there is nothing wrong. Mo Chen lifted the fat powder on the dresser and sniffed it, the fragrance was strong and pungent, and it couldn't help but remind people of a woman with heavy makeup, dressed gorgeously and with a bewitching posture. And the clothes that opened the wardrobe and covered it with a layer also confirmed Mo Chen's conjecture, they are all precious materials with gorgeous styles and exquisite textures, but at the bottom of the wardrobe, there are many backlogs, the materials are also precious, but the style is plain, and the group of simple styles is obviously a little wider than the gorgeous dresses.

"Those simple clothes may have been worn by the second aunt when she ran around the rivers and lakes in the past! If you marry a 'wealthy family', your living conditions are naturally different from before, and it is normal to dress gorgeously! Zhang Zili was unimpressed.

Mo Chen picked up a simple and wide dress and handed it to Zhang Zili's nose, "You smell what this smells like!" ”

Zhang Zili subconsciously dodged backwards, what kind of smell can old clothes have, most of them are musty, but seeing Mo Chen's insistence, he still sniffed the dead man's clothes, and replied suspiciously, "The smell of incense powder...... A faint smell of fragrant powder. ”

"The smell on the old and new clothes is obviously not the same, although it may be because the second aunt has changed the spices after the living conditions are too high, but the preferences in a person's bones are impossible to change easily." Mo Chen said, "A drama who used to run the rivers and lakes, but worked hard to hook up with a rich man, do you think her preference for fragrant powder will be elegant and fresh, or will she like to be heavy and sultry?" "From the items in the room and the origin of the second aunt that he learned from Zheng Yi's mouth, Mo Chen's positioning of the second aunt in his heart was not very good. The style of the old clothes is simple and the fragrance is fresh, Mo Chen feels that the owner of this clothes should be a scholarly lady.

"So...... What do you think? Zhang Zili seemed to understand what Mo Chen wanted to express, and Mo Chen said with certainty, "Therefore, this is not the second aunt's room at all, but the room that was deliberately arranged as the second aunt's room." ”

Although Wang Lei did not participate in the carpet search of the room, he listened attentively to the conversation between Mo Chen and the two, and he was very curious, "It's not the second aunt's room, who will it be?" ”

Mo Chen said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the room of the Qian family's wife." ”

"Mrs. Qian?" Wang Lei frowned suspiciously, "Mrs. Qian is sick?" Why do you have nothing to do and decorate your house as a little three's house? Because of falling out of favor, did you suddenly think of a role reversal? ”

Mo Chen shrugged his shoulders and put his clothes back in order, "I don't know about this at the moment, there will always be some reason!" ”
