Volume 1 The Caged Bird Chapter 42 Blood and Flowers (15) Fast forward to time

A very strange thing happened in Greon Manor today.

As Summerman and Rand walked into the kitchen carrying a wooden barrel full of fresh goat's milk, they passed by the dining room and found Miss Yudo and several of her brothers, as well as several servants, including Sarah and the servant Garcy, all waiting anxiously for something.

Xia Ming was startled and hurriedly rushed into the kitchen.

When the maids saw him, they all respectfully addressed them, "Monsieur Herrick early." "As friends of Miss Yudo, they remembered their faces last night.

Xia Ming hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

An older maid said, "Somehow, Mrs. Greon hasn't come out yet." Mr. and Miss Gree, and our servants usually have to say hello to her. But now .."

Xia Ming said, "No one went to Mrs. Green's room to see?" ”

The maid said, "Miss Yudo went up to see it, but there was no response, and the door was locked." ”

Xia Ming said, "When does Mrs. Greon wake up?"

The maid said, "She usually wakes up very early, because there is a lot of business to attend to the ranch, and she shows up at about seven o'clock after the room has taken care of things. ”

"What time is it?"

The maid pointed to an old hanging clock in the corner, it was a quarter past eight o'clock in the morning, and a full half hour had passed.

What Xia Ming feared most happened, when Dorbin Green's eldest son, the strongest man in the entire ranch, Hope Green, forced his way open the wooden door, and it was found that Mrs. Green, the second owner of the Green's ranch, was lying quietly in bed and out of breath.

Xia Ming silently withdrew from Grien's central manor, and at this moment one of the most important clues was cut off, and he felt very uncomfortable. In addition, although he had only met Mrs. Grimn a few times, more specifically, and had not even said a word, he still had a good impression of her. She just nodded to them at the banquet, which alone showed that she was a non-formal, hospitable, and kind person as Hope said.

Such people should not die so early, otherwise when the bad people are old, no one in the world will like the old man.

Xia Ming didn't sleep for the only time today, but he was still late, their breakfast was supposed to start at eight o'clock, but he was a moment late.

There was a commotion in the sheepfold, and the beautiful creatures with ice-blue fluff were calling out impatiently and attacking the fence that trapped them, and although they did not have the sharp horns of other sheep, their heads were as hard as stones, and Xia Ming was almost knocked out of the waist in the morning. He touched the right side of his cheek and pulled it back like a pinprick, it felt like it was swollen, and the maid looked at him a little weirdly in the morning.

Xia Ming wanted to serve his uncle, respectfully opened the fence gate, and they flew out, so well-behaved, they didn't need to care about it at all, they just basked in the morning sun on the grass leisurely. They look hungry, but they don't gobble up, they still maintain an elegant posture, gently roll up the dewy grass with stones, and then put it in their mouths and chew it slowly.

"Good morning, uncle. ”

Xia Ming greeted them excitedly, but no one was there at all.

It was still early, and he always felt that something was wrong here. But he was really sleepy, so he lay on the rock of yesterday, and in the middle of these beautiful flocks, he took a newly grown bud in his mouth, put his legs on his legs, and fell asleep comfortably in the sun.

Rand sat lazily at the door of the shed, leaning against the door, with a silver glittering thing in the sun hanging from the corner of his mouth, looking like a fortune boy from afar, but napping up close, as if he still had something wrong with the black swan in his dreams.

When the weather became hot, Xia Ming only felt a cold on his face in a daze, and a mysterious power stuck to his mouth. He closed his mouth suddenly, opened his eyes, and saw a beautiful creature curling its tongue to roll out the blade of grass that was about to wilt in his mouth, Xia Ming could only stare at it angrily, he touched his beard, but fortunately it didn't fall out.

Seeing Xia Ming wake up, he seemed to be taken aback, and the sheep turned around and ran to the shed. Xia Ming saw that the sun was dazzling, and the group of smart and beautiful Bohan sheep were lined up at the moment, in pairs and twos, and went back to the house as if talking and laughing.

He woke up suddenly, time! It turns out that the wrong feeling is time, the territory has its own set of time standards, except for the rumored central capital, the regional government has to go to the main city once every six months to re-check the time according to the order dial, and the residents of the area can go to the corresponding government to readjust if there is a time error.

There are times when the spring movement forgets to be wound, but the stomach is not wrong.

There is also a word called "biological clock" mentioned in that strange book, and although the biological clock may not be as accurate as a real clock, it is more regular than a clock.

And this group of beautiful creatures, their daily schedule is 8 o'clock in the afternoon, 5 o'clock in the afternoon, has long been written into their biological clock rules, so they will be impatient when the time exceeds them, and when the time comes, they will automatically and consciously go back. It's like people can wake up at about the same time every day, it's their biological clock that wakes them up.

They weren't late today, but why? Xia Ming rolled over in thought.

Then he bumped into a man, a person who was supposed to be beautiful, but now her eyes were swollen from crying.

Xia Ming said: "Don't be sad, I think, Miss is not the time to be sad now." ”

You Duo cried and said with red eyes: "The doctor said that my mother was poisoned, and they all suspected that I had killed my mother. ”

I won't write too complicated, after all, it's not a mystery novel, the focus is on highlighting the means of 'monsters'

Xia Ming comforted her and said, "Don't worry, take your time, I believe in you." ”

Yuduo came to confide, and now everyone believes her, and everyone thinks she is a murderer.

"I know that you first came to my father, because we have heard rumors from other places. Since then, many people have come to our ranch under various guises. Mr. Green was a good friend of my father's and the mayor of the town, and he was the one who helped me deal with the mysteries.

But there are no people who dress up like you and sneak in.

About three months ago, my father suddenly disappeared one night. We contacted Mr. Greene and mobilized the whole town to look for it, but our father was not found.

But one night, it was raining heavily. When my mother went back to her room, she suddenly fainted, and when we went in, we found that my father... It's dead. ”

"When Mr. Greon disappeared, you didn't find out until the next day? That is, no one knows for sure when he was last seen?"

Yudo nodded and said, "At some time in the evening, everyone was already asleep by then. ”

"Maybe you, Madame Green, know, and that's why you're so anxious to find him the next day. Let me ask you, has Mr. Greon ever gone out at night before?"

"When there is a shortage of farmers in the pasture, my father sometimes goes to guard the pasture himself, and you don't know that our pasture is at night, and sometimes some ferocious creatures are borrowed, and my father will not let his pasture be lost in unnecessary places," Yudo said. He also sometimes went hunting in the hills and brought back some game every morning. ”

Xia Ming asked, "Did he go alone?"

"I don't know," said Yudo, "but I know him that he was going out alone. ”

Xia Ming nodded, this is a carefree family, and You Duo is a carefree princess.

"And later. ”

"Then the word about the 'night' spread here, and every time the night came, something strange would happen here, and over time the peasants would leave. ”

Xia Ming also knew that there must be a reason why the maid had hidden something from them intentionally or unintentionally that day, and this was likely to have a clue to the night, so he hurriedly asked, "What's strange?"

"According to the descriptions of the peasants, they often saw a floating black shadow, and one of them became insane because of it, and I left you in the hope that you would have a solution. ”

Xia Ming said incomprehensibly, "Of course we have a way, but Miss You Duo, have you ever seen that shadow?"

Yuduo suddenly turned pale, stared at him, and couldn't speak.

This made Xia Ming startled, she didn't expect her to be so bold.

"Let's not talk about that, okay. ”

They sat on the rocks, the sun was scorching, but at the moment there seemed to be a chill around them, and You Duo couldn't help but lean against him.

Xia Ming suddenly remembered an incident that happened on the outside of the wall last night, and Mu Siyu also seemed to feel something, and he suddenly felt creepy.

Xia Ming said embarrassedly: "Tell me about last night, what did Mr. Green talk about with your mother last night?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Green often came to our house to help after my father left, because Mrs. Green's conversation with my mother played a certain comforting role," Yudo said. Yesterday however my mother did not seem to be very happy, and I heard from the servants about the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Green, who seemed to be trying to make do with my eldest brother, but I also heard that Miss Green was not in good health. ”

Xia Ming suddenly asked, "Then did you feel that something was wrong last night, or that it was not the same as usual?" ”

Yudo said: "I think last night was so sad, after you left, I will no longer be able to find anyone to talk to, the atmosphere is dull like a motor room full of steam. ”

Xia Ming asked, "Then what do they think of you?"

"Last night at a quarter past nine o'clock I asked Sarah in the living room to bring you a message and tell you to be careful at night, and I know that Sarah is here because everyone knows the habit of her mother, and she goes to bed at a quarter past nine, and she has to drink a glass of sweetened hot milk every day before going to bed. So I asked Sarah to bring you a message, and I brought milk to my mother. ”

"But..." She was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

Xia Ming said: "Don't worry, they just suspect you." The timing of your appearance is indeed doubtful, but I believe you. ”

"You don't believe me, you doubt me?"

Xia Ming said: "This is just suspicion, there is no evidence. The doctor determined that the milk was poisonous, but you were not the only one who touched the milk, and you didn't know if the milk was toxic or the sugar was poisonous. People who have to do with both of these are suspicious. ”

Xia Ming sighed, "It would be nice if I could see it with my own eyes." ”

Yudo asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Xia Ming nodded and said, "Maybe you can find something.. But I'm just a guest.."

Yuduo said, "It's okay, you go with me, as long as you don't doubt my words." ”

Xia Ming immediately promised, "I will never doubt Miss You Duo. ”

Things began to get complicated, whose severed finger was outside the wall? Whose blood was there? Where did Mr. Greion go on the night he disappeared? Who had a motorized device? What was 100 percent certain was that Mrs. Greon had been wiped out. Why was the time turned up, and did the others notice, and why did they do it? Why Mrs. Green, who was the murderer?

This one, after which I will separate a detective perspective, if anyone likes it..
