Unexpectedly, with a "squeak", the door was opened directly.

It was noon, and it was the brightest time and the sun was at its brightest, but the utility room in front of me was pitch black, as if there was some kind of monster living inside, swallowing up all the light shining in the corridor, and only a huge shadow could be seen at the doorway.

Wisps of cool air slowly seeped out of the utility room, as if it was about to burrow into Lu Miao's muscles along the skin on her body.

In just a few seconds, the hairs on her arms stood on end.

Lu Miao narrowed her eyes, and in the darkness, two green points of light suddenly appeared on the huge black shadow, as if the two eyes slowly opened, staring at her in the dark.

Calmly walked in, raised his hand and pressed the switch at the door, and the bright light instantly lit up, illuminating the entire utility room.

After a few squeaks, a gray shadow swiped and scurried into the clutter.

It's a mouse.

Lu Miao walked into the utility room, which still maintained the layout of the original bathroom.

The toilet, shower, and sink inside are all there, but they have all fallen a thick layer of dust and have not been used again.

Apparently it was originally used as a bathroom.

There were some cardboard boxes and other messes on the surrounding walls, as well as an unused piano and a covered easel, which looked like there was still an unfinished painting inside.

This is the dark shadow I saw outside.

Other than that, there's nothing special and nothing unclean.

Lu Miao looked around inside, walked to the easel and was about to reach out and lift the things that were hidden outside.

"Master."

Mr. Hai and Mrs. Hai hurriedly went upstairs with the key, and when they saw that the utility room had been opened, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"The door lock was broken, so I unscrewed it and opened it." Lu Miao explained.

Madame Hai nodded, "Oh, it may be that no one has been in or out for too long, and no one has checked the locks of the door, Master, is there anything wrong with this utility room?" ”

"I haven't found any problems at the moment."

Lu Miao shook her head, "However, I want to ask, why don't you use this bathroom?" ”

Madame Hai's face turned pale, "Master, that ...... Did that cry come from this utility room? ”

"No, I just think it's a little weird, just ask." Lu Miao said.

Mrs. Hai was relieved at this time, and raised her hand to brush the hair on her ears a little unnaturally, "It's nothing, each room in the house is equipped with a separate bathroom, and this public bathroom is useless."

There are too many messy things in the house, and there is just a lack of a utility room, so I directly changed this place into a utility room. ”

"Oh," Lu Miao nodded, and walked out of the utility room with his legs raised.

Mr. Hai and Mrs. Hai followed behind.

Madame Hai looked around in horror, lowered her voice and whispered, "Master, have you found where that voice came from?" ”

As soon as her words fell, there was a sudden "bang" in the utility room behind her, as if there was water flowing through the toilet.

But there was no one in the utility room, and the toilet wouldn't press itself.

Mrs. Hai instantly screamed in fright and hid behind Mr. Hai.

Mr. Hai also kicked back a few steps in fright, Lu Miao turned around and returned to the utility room, turned on the light, walked to the toilet and lifted the toilet lid to take a look.

The water inside was still swaying.

Mr. Hai and Mrs. Hai were so frightened that they didn't even dare to enter the door, and looked at them from a distance, "What happened to the master just now?" ”

Lu Miao looked at the row of small footprints above the toilet and said, "It's just a mouse, step on the toilet water button." ”

The two men breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Miao turned around, and when he was about to leave, he reached out and lifted the white cloth covering the easel.

A half-painted oil painting is revealed, showing the silhouette of a woman in a red dress.

Her long black hair hung down softly behind her, and she leaned against the window to look ahead.

The facial features are exquisite, the beautiful eyes are bent into two crescents, and the corners of the lips are shallow and upward, revealing a soft smile.

Only her head and skirt are colored, and the rest of the painting is only simple line shapes.

In the lower right corner of the painting, there are a few English letters written.

Lu Miao stretched out his hand and touched the painting, judging from the color changes of the canvas and paint, this painting should have been a long time ago.

"Did you paint this picture?"

"It's my son, and he studied this in college." Mr. Hai replied.

"Where are the others now?"

Mr. Hai glanced at Mrs. Hai next to him, "Well, he went abroad for further study." ”

Lu Miao turned his head to look at him, "Who is the person in the painting?" ”

Mr. Hai was about to speak, but Mrs. Hai on the side replied first, "Maybe it's his classmate or where to find the model, we don't know." ”

Lu Miao nodded, and after taking a closer look at other places, several people went downstairs together.

Mr. Hai and Mrs. Hai followed closely behind her, "Master, what's going on with that cry?" ”

Lu Miao's eyelids lifted and she glanced at them lightly, "Mr. Hai, Mrs. Hai, did anything happen at home before these voices?" ”

"No, master, since you can't find a problem, it's better to do a Dharma at home or something first." Mr. Hai raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"No, you don't."

Lu Miao reached out and took out two talismans from his pocket and handed them to them, "Put this on tightly, and I'll come back to you at night." ”

The two of them hurriedly stretched out their hands to take it, and Mrs. Hai hesitated to speak, "Master, what about us...... Do we have to come too? ”

"Well, it has to come." Lu Miao replied meaningfully.

After the two asked the time, they could only grit their teeth and respond.

After returning from Hai's house, Lu Miao turned on the computer and searched on the Internet, these are the few letters he saw under the oil painting just now.

There's a lot of information, it's basically advertising and some messy and useless.

Lu Miao searched for a long time, but didn't find anything useful.

After thinking about it, I searched for the news of Jinghai Group and Haijia, and there was a family photo of Haijia on the Internet.

Mr. and Mrs. Hai have only one son, and they are talented from the photos.

The introduction to him on the Internet is also very simple, except that he did not choose to inherit the family business but chose the path of art, there is no other introduction.

Raising his hand and touching his chin, the two husbands and wives of the Hai family were obviously lying, at least Mrs. Hai didn't tell the truth about the painting.

Mr. Hai doesn't care where the problem is, he only asks for practical things.

The information on the Internet is also full of strangeness, and at first glance, it has been deliberately deleted.

The phone rang, Lu Miao took out the phone and connected, it was Gu Ziheng, saying that she needed to go over in advance to do a model, familiarize herself with the process, and had already arranged for the car to come back to pick her up.
