"Who else knows about your father?

"Yes, I mentioned it to the housekeeper and my second brother, but they, like me, had a nightmare that day and never stared at my father again. ”

Wu Xinglan said.

"When did you find out your father was missing?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"About three days ago, I was woken up by the housekeeper in the morning and heard that my father was gone. ”

Wu Xinglan said.

Zhang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "You were woken up by the housekeeper?

"No, when I had nightmares, I was very sleepy, and I used to get up before dawn, but since I had nightmares, it seems like I can't sleep enough every day, and the dreams feel very real, one dream after another, and sometimes I don't know if I'm awake or asleep. ”

Wu Xinglan said tiredly.

"So, you only heard about your father's disappearance that day, and did you ever see your father before?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"Before?"

Wu Xinglan fell into a daze and said: "I had a muddy and unhealthy past few days, as if I hadn't seen my father. ”

"Have you seen your second brother?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

Wu Xinglan looked at the young man on the side.

The young man pondered, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it either, and I have been in a mess for the past few days, entangled in nightmares, and it is difficult to wake up. ”

Zhang Yuan frowned, and asked again: "The housekeeper also has nightmares, why was the housekeeper able to wake up that day?"

"He was on duty that day, so he didn't sleep all night. ”

Wu Xinglan said.

"Does the housekeeper need to be on duty at night?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"Yes. ”

Wu Xinglan nodded.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Can you ask the housekeeper to call over, I want to ask him." ”

"Good. ”

Wu Xinglan nodded, looked at his second brother, the young man understood, immediately got up, walked outside the room, and called the housekeeper in.

"Sir, you call the villain. ”

The butler, a middle-aged man in his early forties, with gray temples and a medium build, with heavy wrinkles on his forehead, bowed in.

"Do you usually spend more time with your master, or do you spend more time with the two sons?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"Back to the adult, the villain and the old man stay a lot. ”

The butler said.

"A few days before my lord's disappearance, did you go to see it?"

"I went to see it, and the old man was in low spirits at that time, and he seemed to be very depressed. ”

The butler said.

"Did you go outside the master's room again to stare at that night?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"No more. ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "I also fell into nightmares in those days, muddy nightmares, extremely sleepy, I wanted to get up at night several times to stare at the master, but I slept directly until noon the next day, and I was awakened by urine." ”

"Did you come into contact with anything before your nightmare?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

The butler pondered and said: "About twenty days, I once went to the city with the master, the master seemed to have secretly gone to see someone, at that time did not let me follow behind, only let me wait in the carriage, and then when the master came back, I found that the master was happy, and he seemed to be holding a scroll in his hand. ”

"Scrolls?"

Zhang Yuan's eyes narrowed and said, "What scroll is it?"

"It seems to be calligraphy and painting. ”

The butler said.

"And then?"

"I thought it was an ordinary calligraphy and painting, and I wanted to take it from the master's hand, but the master regarded it as a treasure, and scolded me on the spot, saying that I was not allowed to touch the treasure in his hand. ”

"Where's that calligraphy? Do you know which one it is?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"It's supposed to be in the master's room, but I don't know which calligraphy or painting it is. ”

The housekeeper shook his head: "When the master is here, he likes to collect antiques and antiques and other things the most, everything is more important than life, and I don't dare to enter his room easily." ”

"And where did you go before?

Zhang Yuan asked.

"The lord didn't let me follow, and when I entered the city, he only let me watch the carriage. ”

The butler said.

"Okay, you go down. ”

Zhang Yuan said.

"Yes, sir. ”

The butler nodded respectfully, then stepped out and closed the door.

Zhang Yuan looked at Wu Xinglan again and asked, "Wu Gongzi, those few fast catchers a few days ago just came to your house to check, have they ever been to other people's homes?"

"Not really. ”

Wu Xinglan shook his head.

Zhang Yuan pondered in his heart and guessed probly.

Most of the scrolls brought by the old man of the Wu family were problematic.

Of course, he had to see it in person.

"Wu Gongzi, can you let me go to your father's room to have a look?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"Naturally. ”

Wu Xinglan nodded.

He now wishes that Zhang Yuan could solve the problem for him.

The foundation of the Wu family is in Xiling, not as a last resort, he really doesn't want to move, once he moves, the family business will inevitably be greatly reduced, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover.

Immediately, Wu Xinglan and the young people around him got up and walked towards the door.

"Let's go, Wang Zhutou. ”

Zhang Yuan got up and followed.

Wang Hongen nodded and gripped the hilt tightly.

A group of people left from here, through two dark corridors, and then turned into a large courtyard, before coming to the front of a room.

Outside the room, large lanterns were also lit.

There were two guards at the door with torches.

"Ever since my father disappeared, I have locked the door of my house and kept it firmly guarded from the outside, and no one was allowed to approach it. ”

Wu Xinglan said.

When the two family members saw the arrival of their son, they immediately bowed down to greet him.

Wu Xinglan waved his hand and made them all retreat.

Remove the key from your waist, insert the bronze lock cylinder, and with a slight twist, the bronze lock is opened.

The room was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered Cihang's eyes and looked towards the room.

A trace of strange green gas was faint and lingering, and as before, it was still impossible to determine the source of these green gases, as if the green hair was floating here.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and put away Cihang's eyes.

At this time, Wu Xinglan and the young people around him had already blown out the fire fold and went towards the lights and candles in the room, and soon the room became transparent.

Zhang Yuan and Wang Hongen looked around.

"Lots of curios. ”

Wang Hongen said.

The walls on all four sides are covered with calligraphy and paintings, all of which are famous works.

There are also several antique shelves next to it, and there are rare antiques on them.

Zhang Yuan observed the room and asked, "Wu Gongzi, do you know which painting your father bought?"

Wu Xinglan smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Zhang Yuan pondered.

Those catchers will have nightmares once they come.

I'm going to see if it's true.

"Wu Gongzi, can I stay here for one night?"

Zhang Yuan asked.

"Shaoxia is willing, naturally can. ”

Wu Xinglan said.

"Okay, thank you. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled.
