Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Mysterious Butler
"Uncle Chen, why don't we see if there is a passage into the basement nearby?"
I asked, looking around.
But Uncle Chen directly vetoed my idea.
"It's useless, don't waste your efforts, the passage is not in the villa, it should be in a hidden place in the backyard, it's too difficult to find."
"This ...... Are we going to give up? ”
I paused and asked.
Uncle Chen shook his head slightly, stood up and walked out, looking out the window at the backyard.
Occasionally, a few servants passed by, holding freshly dug flowers and plants, ready to be transplanted to the front yard.
I can see what he means by watching his movements.
The entrance to the underground space should be in the backyard, but at this point in time, there are too many people behind it, people come and go, and we are not transparent people, even if we hide it well, it will inevitably be discovered.
At that time, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
So now is not the best time to act, we need to wait a little longer.
Looks like tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Realizing this, we stopped obsessing with getting to the root of the problem, and we all went back to the couch and simply turned on the TV.
Ah Dong watched it with taste.
Uncle Chen stared at the compass in his hand and didn't know what he was thinking.
I was completely out of the middle of my mind, and I was thinking about something else.
In my opinion, Jia Furong, a girl with a simple mind, should not lie to us, so eighty percent of the people in the villa have problems, and the most likely one is the housekeeper.
The reason is simple.
It is said that he has worked in the villa for many years, and Jia Furong has been working as a housekeeper before she was born.
I am extremely familiar with every plant and tree here, and if the housekeeper is a person who is proficient in gossip metaphysics, it is simply too convenient to make a little action around the house.
But at the end of the day, it's all just speculation, and we'll have to wait until tonight.
Let's hope none of this will come true.
……
At noon, although Jia Furong did not come back, she specially called and instructed the cook at home to prepare lunch.
During this process, the butler would inevitably dangle around the villa, and I took the opportunity to quietly look at him, but there was nothing abnormal about this man.
There are no ghosts around, and there is no yin energy, just an ordinary person.
But for some reason, the intuition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, there is a huge secret behind the housekeeper, and we are getting closer and closer to the truth.
"Three, you eat first, I'll be in the courtyard, and I'll be on call if you have something."
"I'm sorry for you, let's rest."
Facing the respectful housekeeper, of course, Uncle Chen was also willing to speak politely, waved his hand casually, and left.
I looked at the back of the person in front of me, and in a trance, I saw that he had two shadows, but they quickly disappeared.
When the housekeeper left the villa, I immediately told Uncle Chen what I had just seen.
I didn't even forget to add a few more words.
"Uncle Chen, I saw that the housekeeper had two shadows, although the other one disappeared quickly, but I am sure that I am absolutely not mistaken, there is something wrong with this guy."
I'm incredibly sure.
Uncle Chen's hand with chopsticks hung in mid-air, and finally rested horizontally on the bowl.
He nodded and said, "I agree with you, what you see with your own eyes is not true, I have observed this butler, and the angle of his hunchback has become more and more severe in the last two days, which is very abnormal." ”
"Even if you can't see that there is a ghost behind him, it doesn't mean that there really isn't, and it may be hidden by some secret method."
"If that's the case, it proves that this butler has some real skills, and we must be careful not to fall into his trap."
In a few words, but with a lot of information.
I thought about Jia Furong in the past few days, except for the sadness of her father's death, her body has not changed much, she is still healthy, she does not have a cold, a fever or a cough.
The most important thing is that Ah Dong and I have been approached by ghosts one after another, and her body has not been affected at all.
It also proves that the housekeeper doesn't want to harm her, and may even protect her secretly.
"Uncle Chen, I can't figure it out now, after Master Jia died, since the housekeeper didn't harm Jia Furong, it proves that the target is not on her, and it also proves that this person is not for money, so what else can it be for?"
I just feel like I have a lot of problems on my mind right now.
But Uncle Chen couldn't answer.
He sighed: "I'm not a jack of all trades, I can't answer it, everything can only wait until tonight, let's take the opportunity to go to the backyard, maybe we can find the key." ”
"That's all I can do."
I bowed my head to eat, but my mind kept thinking about the answers to these questions.
Ah Dong didn't have the heart to eat non-stop, he didn't care about the content of our conversation at all, and looked at him when we finished speaking, this guy had already eaten his belly.
What a envy!
……
Jia Furong returned to the villa in the evening.
As soon as she entered the house, she enthusiastically called a few of us over, took out four tickets from her small purse, and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit, very proud.
"This is the VIP ticket for tomorrow's temple fair bonfire show, I specially asked a friend to get it, and you will have eyes blessed by then!"
"I just like to join in the fun!"
Ah Dong looked at the ticket with a smile, and began to think about how to be happy tomorrow.
I was very happy, there have been accidents every day these days, and it would be nice to have a big event to relieve my mood, but all these good moods came to an abrupt end when I saw the bill.
The VIP show tickets are beautifully designed, and there are even live photo miniatures of the bonfire shows over the years.
But my focus is on an inconspicuous mask in the corner.
It's exactly the same as the blue-faced and fanged ghost mask I saw in my dreams!
If you don't go out of your way to look at it, you won't notice this mask at all, because it's so small that the miniature on the bill looks only a few millimeters.
I don't think it's an accident.
Maybe my staring eyes were too focused, and Jia Furong also noticed.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the ticket? ”
"It's very beautifully drawn, so beautiful, I accidentally look at it and become obsessed."
I casually made up a lie and asked for the next ticket as an appreciation.
Jia Furong didn't take this matter to heart, so she simply distributed the tickets to a few of us, she was very tired after a day of shopping outside, so she went straight back to her room to rest.
When the door closed on the second floor, I gave Uncle Chen a look.
Then, he directly dragged Ah Dong, who was lying on the sofa on his back, upstairs and went to his room.
As soon as the door closed, I couldn't hold back the words in my heart anymore.
"Uncle Chen, I'm busy with other things today, I forgot to tell you about the dream I had......"
In the following time, I briefly recounted the strange dream I had this morning, and then asked the question that I had buried in my heart for a day.
"Do you think this temple fair is just a simple temple fair?"
