Chapter 112: The so-called faceless woman
After listening to Steward Guang's words, seeing Steward Guang being summoned downstairs, Shen Lang was thinking about Steward Guang's words in the corridor, and suddenly heard the sound of a car stopping, and it didn't take long for the door of the villa to be opened, and Shen Lang saw Pan Weixuan at a glance.
Observing quietly on the second floor, Liu Manwen's attitude towards Pan Weixuan was not necessarily too good, but the old housekeeper was very respectful of Pan Weixuan, and then Pan Weixuan seemed to have discovered his gaze and looked at the second floor.
Pan Weixuan greeted Liu Manwen when he entered the door, and the butler simply said what happened, and the gaze that he had since he entered the door made Pan Weixuan raise his head, and when he saw the owner of the gaze appear, Pan Weixuan frowned, and the light flashed behind his glasses.
Pulling out a polite and slightly provocative smile at Pan Weixuan, Shen Lang turned around and entered Ni Huairou's door, Ni Huairou in the room seemed to have stabilized her mood, and saw Shen Lang come in and pull the corners of her mouth to make a sound.
"I scared you last night. Originally, I wanted to call and ask you, but I didn't expect it to ......."
Thinking of the knee-jerk action of calling Shen Lang last night, Ni Huairou found that he had unconsciously begun to rely on Shen Lang, and the first person who thought of him when something happened turned out to be him.
However, Shen Lang did not disappoint himself, but he came here overnight with a phone call, and it was only 7:50 in the morning after seeing the time just now, presumably Shen Lang rushed here after receiving the call.
"It's okay if you're okay, I just called Wu Meng's sister and asked about it, Wu Meng was cremated. Xiaorou, I don't think everything you saw last night was so simple, maybe someone was deliberately trying to scare you. ”
Listening to Shen Lang's words, Ni Huairou pinched her eyebrows, in fact, she also knew that it might be artificial, but the things she saw were too unbelievable, so that she, the original atheist, was now suspicious.
"I know, but I've just come to the Willow House, who wants to scare me? Why scare me? What method did you use to make me see Wu Meng? ”
Too many doubts appeared, and a person flashed in Ni Huairou's mind, the person who sent her a text message, could it be that person had found herself?
However, what did that person do to make himself see Wu Meng, who was already dead?
The mind was still dizzy and uncomfortable, it should be the result of lack of sleep and fright, Ni Huairou turned her head and saw that there was already a bowl of white porridge on the bedside, as well as a few hot side dishes, which must have been arranged by the housekeeper.
"I don't know, did you see any suspicious people in the villa? Or something out of the ordinary? Was everyone here at the villa when the accident happened last night? ”
"Suspicious people? No, but they said they had seen the faceless woman I saw for the first time, and that it was my mother's ghost. Moreover, Mrs. Liu's paranoia was also triggered by what she saw, but I always felt as if something was wrong. When the accident happened last night, everyone was there except Pan Weixuan. ”
"Your mother's ghost? Then Mrs. Liu fell into a coma when she saw your mother's ghost? Pan Weixuan wasn't there last night, and he didn't seem to be there on the day the housekeeper said that Old Madam Liu had an accident......
Shen Lang said to himself, as if he was in thought, Ni Huairou looked at Shen Lang's appearance without interrupting, listening to Shen Lang's words, he was suspicious of Pan Weixuan.
There was a knock on the door twice, and Ni Huairou was just about to lift the quilt to get up, when she saw Pan Weixuan, who pushed the door in, coming with a worried look on his face.
"Are you alright? I heard from Butler Guang, did you really see Aunt Manzhen's ghost? ”
Pan Weixuan came up and asked such a straightforward question, which made Ni Huairou sigh in her heart, she really wanted to see her mother's soul.
"Pan Weixuan, where did you go last night?"
Shen Lang blocked Pan Weixuan's way forward, and also blocked Ni Huairou's gaze.
"What? I went to investigate things last night, what's wrong? ”
was suddenly blocked by Shen Lang, Pan Weixuan couldn't understand his behavior, and wanted to bypass him to see Ni Huairou, but was blocked by Shen Lang sideways.
"Investigate what? You only found out about what happened last night this morning? ”
Shen Lang's inspecting gaze made Pan Weixuan a little angry, but his good cultivation kept Pan Weixuan from getting angry, and he took a deep breath and looked at Shen Lang's eyes.
"Mr. Shen, I don't think this has anything to do with you, why are you here?"
"Xiaorou called me last night, she saw something unusual last night, and I suspect that someone is playing tricks on her back."
Shen Lang stared at Pan Weixuan's eyes, and his scrutiny was too straightforward, as if he regarded Pan Weixuan as a suspect.
"Then you say that, as if you suspect that I did it? Why would I do that? Rourou is my cousin and Aunt Manzhen's daughter, why should I scare her? ”
"This is going to ask you, you insist on letting Xiao Rou come back, but Xiao Rou just came back one day and something like this happened, if it was you, what should you think?"
The picture of the confrontation made Ni Huairou only feel that the headache was even worse, and the fingertips pressed the temples to relieve the headache, what Shen Lang said made sense, but what happened last night was too weird, and it seemed difficult to explain.
The key point is that Ni Huairou is sure of the picture she saw, because the two things that happened were seen with her own eyes, and Ni Huairou had no way to convince herself that things were such simple illusions.
However, as a materialist, Ni Huairou felt that there could be no demons and monsters in this world, and the biggest possibility should be that Shen Lang said that someone deliberately wanted to scare her.
What about the purpose? What about motivation? Let her leave the Willow House? Or is it just to scare her?
"Mr. Shen, I think it is necessary to tell you that I have the right to sue you for such slander and personal attacks."
Pan Weixuan's face was serious, showing his rigorous attitude as a lawyer for the first time, but Shen Lang didn't care about Pan Weixuan's words.
"Whether I am slandering and personally attacking will not be known until the truth of the matter is revealed. Now, can you tell us what you investigated last night? ”
"I can't say it for the time being, and I don't think an outsider like you, Mr. Shen, is qualified to meddle in the affairs of the Liu Mansion. In this mansion, I am the one who is in charge now. ”
Pan Weixuan swept Shen Lang with cold eyes, and then walked straight around Shen Lang to Ni Huairou's bedside, looking at Ni Huairou's bloodless appearance and frowning with a distressed expression.
"Yau Yau, are you alright? Light housekeeper called me, I'm really worried about you. I'm sorry for letting you just come back with something like this, I really hate myself for not being by your side. But, rest assured, I'll be sure to look into it. By the way, you ...... last night Did you really see Aunt Manzhen? ”
Pan Weixuan asked cautiously, his tone was full of concern for Ni Huairou, and Shen Lang didn't feel good when he heard it, where is this like a cousin's attitude, it is simply a tone for a lover.
Ni Huairou shook her head, if possible, she really wanted to see her mother's soul, but unfortunately it backfired.
"No, what I see is not my mother, but a deceased friend."
"Oh...... That's right. Pan Weixuan's tone was a little disappointed, and then he reached out and smoothed Ni Huairou's hair. It's okay, my cousin won't let you be alone, I'll put aside what I'm doing in the next few days and stay with you at home. ”
Ni Huairou's body stiffened suddenly, unnaturally avoiding Pan Weixuan's palm, she has always been insensitive to the contact of strangers, and Ni Huairou is even more uncomfortable with such an intimate action.
After dodging, Ni Huairou subconsciously looked at Shen Lang, and sure enough, she saw Shen Lang's face sank, I don't know why Ni Huairou didn't want to make physical contact with other men in front of Shen Lang, even if she just touched her hair, she felt weak in her heart.
"I've heard that it seems that something similar has happened before, and it hasn't been found out for so long, so why are you sure you can find out this time? And, it seems like you're always not in the villa every time something happens, how can it be so coincidental? ”
Thinking of what the light housekeeper told him, Shen Lang asked bluntly and suspiciously, Liu Manwen's illness was due to that faceless woman, and now Ni Huairou has also encountered the same thing, this matter is not easy to think about.
Shen Lang stared at Pan Weixuan's hand calmly, he felt that Pan Weixuan's hand was really an eyesore, and he actually wanted to stroke Ni Huairou's hair, that action was only right for him, but fortunately Ni Huairou avoided it.
"Mr. Shen, please speak politely. The old lady is the grandmother who raised me, and Rourou is the daughter of Aunt Manzhen, and it is impossible for me to hurt them. These words of yours are enough evidence in court, and as a lawyer I must remind you that there is evidence to suspect others. ”
Pan Weixuan was worried about being avoided by Ni Huairou, and listening to Shen Lang's doubts and hints, Pan Weixuan's emotions immediately became angry.
Seeing the two big men competing against each other and letting no one let anyone, Ni Huairou felt that what the two of them said was reasonable, but the scale in her heart was biased towards Shen Lang, after all, she had only known Pan Weixuan for a few days.
"The faceless girl you are talking about may really be Aunt Manzhen, but I don't think Aunt Manzhen will hurt Grandma and Rourou. I had already done an investigation into this incident when it happened last time, but it has not happened since the night of my grandmother's accident, and there is no evidence or clues left, so I have to leave it alone. ”
Pan Weixuan looked at Ni Huairou, then took out a piece of drawing paper from his pocket and unfolded it to draw the image of the faceless woman that Ni Huairou saw that night.
"This is?!" Although it was a sketch, Ni Huairou was very sure that she saw it that night.
"This is painted by Grandma after she was in a coma and woke up, and then Grandma's mental condition is very unstable, always forgetting things from time to time, and suspecting that someone is trying to kill her. After that incident I dismissed many of the old servants, leaving only a few reliable people, thinking that the incident was completely over, but now it seems that perhaps the troublemaker is still in the villa. ”
Ni Huairou took the drawing paper in Pan Weixuan's hand and looked at the characters on it, lifelike as if she had been in a wonderland.
"But if someone pretends to be my mother, how do you explain what I saw last night?"
Ni Huairou was a little incomprehensible, if according to what Pan Weixuan said, someone pretended to scare Liu Manwen, why did he see Wu Meng last night instead of the Faceless Woman?
Is the so-called faceless girl her own mother, or did someone deliberately pretend to murder Liu Manwen?
"I don't know about this, but I'm sure that the faceless girl must have been pretended to be someone to murder Grandma."
