As the days passed, the school festival of Shield Bridge College was held as scheduled.

The school festival is very lively, but it has nothing to do with Charles, he has to show movies in the academy auditorium every day.

Previously, the student council did a questionnaire survey about the school festival.,More than eighty percent of the students who plan to watch this movie made by their own college classmates.。

Because the college is open to the public on this day, there will be a lot of off-campus audiences who come to visit, and the screening time is full from morning to night.

As soon as dawn came, Charles arrived in the college auditorium and began to install and commission the projectors.

The curtains and speakers were installed during the pilot broadcast yesterday, and only the most expensive projector was carried with him.

The windows of the auditorium were all nailed with thick dark curtains, so that no light could enter, and dim lights were lit inside. Behind the wall at the back were utility rooms, one of which, with the approval of the headmaster, had been converted into a screening room, where Charles had to be shut for a day.

It took him a few minutes to install and debug the projector, turn on the wireless speakers, and play the scenery.

Strictly speaking, this landscape film shot by Diana to test the performance of the camera is the first film, the anti-epidemic educational film is the second, and the premiere of "The Strange Case of the Manor" is the third.

It's just that this landscape has not been broadcast before, and several students who probe their brains saw it and shouted: "The movie has begun!"

Then a group of students who hurried in before breakfast took up their seats, and in the back row, hungry, enjoyed the mainland scenery for more than an hour.

At about half-past eight, Professor Erbach arrived in the auditorium with a group of old fellows and took their seats in the front row.

These old guys came to see the headmaster's show.

Then some old guys quickly couldn't sit still, and the landscape film is a landscape film in the eyes of students, but in the eyes of some people who have seen the plane, the plane plus the movie is an excellent battlefield reconnaissance weapon.

It's just that they don't move, thinking that others don't think of this.

Charles had known this for a long time, but he didn't care, the elves had been engaged in aerial reconnaissance for many years, and he proposed this project.

When half-past eight came, the auditorium was full of people, and the scenery on the curtain came to an abrupt end, leaving only a white light.

Then the lights in the auditorium gradually went out, and finally only the exit lights on both sides were on.

The picture on the curtain was pitch black, and the whistling wind spread through the auditorium from the speakers, and a few white words "The Strange Case of the Manor" appeared on the curtain a moment later.

The name of the movie fades away, the villa in the snowstorm gradually becomes clear, and the creaking of the carriage and the swaying of the car bell in the wind and moon are getting louder and louder.

The audience watched silently and followed the long shot to the living room of the villa.

The first scene of cynicism between several characters in the living room unravels the contradictions within the family.

The lord of this family died eighteen years ago, and his wife remarried within a month, and the second young master, who was only fourteen years old at the time, ran away from home because he couldn't accept his father's remarriage so soon, and he didn't come back until he received a letter from his father to publish his will.

As soon as the second young master entered the living room, he ridiculed his stepmother and half-sister to the end, thinking that his stepmother, who was not a few years older than him, was greedy for the family's money, and the little sister was a safe to get money.

The eldest young master, who was by the windowsill, suddenly broke out in anger and interrupted the second brother's taunt, and began to reprimand the second brother for saying goodbye sixteen years ago and not taking the initiative to write home from then on.

Then the seventeen-year-old daughter tried to persuade the eldest brother to stop insulting the second brother, but the second brother did not appreciate it and was ready to humiliate her fiercely.

At this time, the butler said that dinner was ready, and everyone in the living room stopped and went to the dining room.

In anticipation, the young maid who had just been working as a backdrop in the living room finally came to the upstairs bedroom and came to the old man played by Professor Erbach.

As the maid screamed, the audience also let out a burst of exclamations, and the corpse played by Professor Erbach was unexpected.

When I saw the scene in the living room, almost everyone thought that this was a story about cleverly resolving family conflicts, and finally the master as the most powerful person made the final decision, and finally the whole family was reunited.

Old Man Wolf sighed and patted the old brother on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "It's a good performance." ”

"yes, yes......" The old guys around nodded in agreement.

The movie continues, and the crowd soon arrives in the bedroom, and they are extremely shocked by the death of the old man.

All the people in the villa came to the bedroom, except for the stepmother, the three children, the fat butler and the maid, as well as the cook and the coachman of the second son who were preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Then the coachman noticed something strange in the air, and found a piece of burnt parchment two or three fingers wide by the fireplace, on which was the beginning of the will.

The old man died suddenly, the will was destroyed, and for a while, everyone in the bedroom and the audience suddenly became nervous.

"Who's the murderer?" someone asked Charles in the screening room.

Charles said to Grandma St. Angel, who was putting breakfast on the small table next to her, "Mama, you will know when you see the back." ”

Mama shook her head and said, "I'm old, I don't like to use my brain, hurry up and eat." ”

All she brought with her were cheap snacks that the students were selling at the stalls outside.

Charles picked up a box of meatballs and picked one and ate it, the sour taste of the filling changed his expression on his face, and the second one was so spicy that he almost vomited.

In the villa, everyone carried the old man's body to the bed and put it on the bed, and then they all came to the dining room, and then began to suspect each other.

The second son first suspected that his stepmother killed his father, because she saw that her father's will did not contain her share, so she killed his father and destroyed the will.

Then the stepmother said that it was done by the fat housekeeper, because a few days ago the master found out that the fat housekeeper had embezzled the family's money to lend money, and asked him not to get all the money back for ten days, otherwise he would be sent to prison, but one of the debtors was drunk three days ago and was buried in snow on the road, and the money could not be recovered.

The fat housekeeper exposed that the cook was scolded by the master almost every day for not eating good food during this time, and then he had a murderous intention.

The cook said that she saw the old man lift her skirt despite the maid's objections yesterday, and she was sure that she killed the old man because of this incident.

The maid cried and revealed that the eldest young master and the old man had a quarrel a few days ago, and the eldest young master asked the old man to deprive the second young master of his inheritance, but later the old man disagreed.

The eldest young master suspected that it was the second brother, who had been an adventurer outside for so many years, and must have the means to assassinate his father and then take the carriage home.

As for the reason, the eldest young master told a secret incident more than ten years ago, the stepmother and the second brother used to be a couple......

The third lady looked at her mother dumbfounded, and then her mother nodded silently.

The coachman was the most relaxed of all the men, and of all those present, he had no motive to commit the crime, and he sat in the corner with a cup of hot tea in his hand.

The audience also looked confused, it seems that these people have the motive to kill the master, so who is the murderer?

The people in the dining room finally parted unhappily, and returned to their respective rooms without dinner, and the eldest young master hired a coachman to stay in the master's bedroom tonight at the price of a gold coin, and did not let people in, and waited until tomorrow when the weather was fine to inform the court.

?

When the third lady left the kitchen, she accidentally touched her calf on the low shelf of the restaurant where ice buckets were used for frozen wine, and she grinned in pain.

In the bedroom, the coachman was a little flustered when he saw the corpse lying on the bed, so he knelt beside the bed and prayed to the gods that the soul of the dead old man would enter the garden of the gods.

After feeling more comfortable, he began to look around the room.

He wanted to block the doorway with something, but when he saw that the low chair next to him for wearing shoes and feet was just right, he moved the heavy low chair over.

Time passed, the coachman got bored, and saw that the broken coffee cups on the floor were very beautiful, so he planned to put them together to see if they could be put together, and the fine porcelain repaired by the craftsmen could make a little money by selling them to the little rich family.

It's just that after he finally put the coffee cup together, he found that a small piece was missing.

At this moment, an exclamation came from the kitchen downstairs, and the cook died.

The cook collapsed in the kitchen, out of breath, and there was an overturned wooden teacup on the table where the servants were eating, which was supposed to be everyone's dinner tonight.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, the coachman had drunk those teas just now, and now the people are fine, and the cook is dead, indicating that the murderer among them will continue to commit crimes.

So a group of people began to be suspicious of each other, wary of each other, and invariably went back to their rooms to hide.

The snowstorm was getting stronger and stronger, and in the midst of the wind, there was a knock on the door of the second young master's room, and the stepmother came to his room.

The second young master asked his lover back then why he had waited for two years in a nearby village without waiting for an explanation.

The stepmother cried that she was sold to her master by her money-hungry parents, and has been under house arrest in the villa for several years. Moreover, her daughter is likely to be the second young master's.

It's just that she swore that she definitely didn't kill the master.

In the room of the eldest young master, the fat housekeeper confessed that although he embezzled some public funds to lend, and a debtor died, the real estate mortgaged by the dead person was enough to make up for the hole, and the master did not pursue the matter.

He only hopes that he can still serve the eldest young master in the future.

In the bedroom, the third lady and the maid knelt beside the bed where the old man's body was parked and prayed, praying that this nightmarish night would pass as soon as possible.

The coachman sat in a low shoeed chair behind the doorway and guarded the bedroom, when he suddenly felt something strange under his buttocks.

He felt for the cushions sewn in the low chair and saw that something seemed to be hidden inside.

Curious, he quietly used the knife in his boot to cut the mat from the side, and took out a letter from it that was more than ten years old.

The content of the letter is another big melon, which was written by the old man's lover to the old man, saying that she gave birth to a daughter for the old man, and the daughter has a birthmark on her leg, and also describes the shape of the birthmark in detail.

The coachman walked over to the bed, ready to hand the letter to the third lady, who was still kneeling there.

Suddenly, he ran to the door, removed the low chair, opened the bedroom door, and yelled outside: "Come on, there is a great discovery!"

Everyone gathered in the bedroom again, and the coachman handed the letter in his hand to the second young master.

Then he and his eldest brother were smashed by this melon, and it turned out that they also had a younger sister.

Then the coachman asked the maid, "Did you find the birthmark on your leg when your lord lifted your skirt yesterday?"

The maid looked confused, she lifted her skirt, and there was indeed a birthmark on the right calf in the same shape as described in the letter.

Before everyone could digest the melon, the coachman said again: "Third Miss, you killed the master." ”

The third lady jumped up and said nervously, "You...... How can you frame a lady out of thin air?"

The coachman pointed to the pile of coffee cup fragments and said, "Then how do you explain that the indented shape of the soles of your wooden shoes is exactly the same as the one missing from the cup?" ”

"Apparently you stepped on a piece of the cup, and a piece of the piece was set in the sole of your shoe, and then you buckled the piece out and you didn't know where to throw it. ”

"Also, when you were in the restaurant just now, your right leg hurt when it touched the shelf, so you accidentally kicked it on a low chair when you left, right?"

"There are still traces of the low chair dragging on the ground, such a heavy low chair has moved, I'm afraid the injury is not light, why don't you see if the position of the injury on your leg is the same as the height of the low chair?"

Speaking of this, the camera gave the third lady a close-up, and the cold sweat on her forehead came out.

The coachman continued: "I guess that it should be the master who discovered the identity of his illegitimate daughter, so he changed the will. ”

"The content of this will may affect the interests of the third lady, so she murdered the master and burned the will. ”

"As for the dead cook, alas...... You actually want to kill everyone, everyone didn't have dinner today, and everyone has to drink water later, so that the tea is delivered to the rooms, and everyone is poisoned one after another. ”

"Are you saying I'm right?"

The third lady looked at the coachman expressionlessly and asked lightly, "Who are you?"

The coachman just smiled crookedly and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the most important thing now is that the murderer is you." ”

......

The film ended shortly after, and the audience left the auditorium satisfied.

Charles asked Grandma St. Angel, who was sitting next to him watching a movie with him, "What do you think of this movie?"

"I'm quite demanding in theater, and it's the same for movies. Mama replied, "It's good that you can finish a work like this in such a short time, although there are some kinds of problems, but it is finally completed." ”

"In the end, when the murderer tells the motive, it can be improved, not just the character standing there and talking, it can be replaced with a corresponding short film. ”

Charles nodded, and will improve it in the future, the murderer's motive for killing in this film is very yellow and violent, which is not suitable for short films.
