"Okay, don't cry anymore." The man whispered: "The master disappeared without explanation. I was also suspicious, so I asked around for news. But it didn't matter if I was kicked out by them, I was afraid that I had already seen him.
There's something I shouldn't have seen. If Mr. Pippin's two bodyguards find it, I won't be able to escape death."
"My dear, what exactly did you find out?" The cook was curious for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask.
The man quickly lowered his voice and said: "Shhh, don't ask anymore. I just heard someone said they threw something into the cellar." At this point, he suddenly realized that he was talking too much.
The man quickly swallowed back the rest of his words, then patted the cook on the shoulder: "I can't say any more. I just came to see you today. I have found a job at a farm on the outskirts of the city. I will be working in a few days."
I will save up my wages and take you far away. This gloomy mansion is too dangerous, I must take you away."
The man and the cook chatted for another two minutes. Finally, the cook said that if he came out for too long, people would be suspicious of him, so the two hurriedly broke up and went their separate ways. When they walked away, Guan Heng emerged from the shadow behind the tree.
Guan Heng stood where he was, thinking in his mind: "It turns out that this man was the former deputy general manager of the wealthy businessman's house. According to what he said, it seems that the wealthy businessman's disappearance for no reason has something to do with Mr. Pippin's two bodyguards. There is still something wrong at the moment.
If you have time, why not go to the cellar the man mentioned."
Since he had memorized the topographic map of the mansion before, it was very easy for Guan Heng to find the cellar. Looking at the lock on the cellar door, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and turned the lock into a twist.
"Clang!" The broken lock fell to the ground, and Guan Heng gently opened the cellar door. He saw a gust of evil wind blowing in his face, mixed with the smell of blood and extremely putrid smell. Guan Heng covered his nose and hurriedly stepped aside to let the door pass.
There was a smell that could make people feel sick and dizzy, and he already felt a little uneasy.
The cellar was not deep, and there was a soft ladder connecting the exit. Guan Heng's right hand gathered a weak fire element, which suddenly illuminated the scene inside. Guan Heng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, because he saw a highly decayed remains.
Lying in a gloomy and dark cellar.
"Hey!" Guan Heng jumped directly into the cellar without climbing up the ladder. After taking a few glances at the remains, he murmured to himself: "It seems that he has been dead for a long time."
The remains were in a skeletal state, with only some carrion remaining. It seemed that the man struggled to climb out of the sack after being seriously injured, and died after a while. But that was not what Guan Heng paid attention to. He could infer from the gorgeous clothes.
, Guan Heng believed that he was the wealthy businessman who was the original owner of this luxurious mansion.
"It's so pitiful. Maybe his family doesn't even know that this gentleman has died here inexplicably." Guan Heng shook his head secretly. He looked around, hoping to find the ghost of the wealthy businessman, because people who die unjustly are generally more likely to die than normal deaths.
It is easier for people to condense their souls, but Guan Heng scanned the entire cellar and found no trace of ghosts.
"Strange, did the ghost of the rich businessman disappear quickly after his death?!" Guan Heng thought to himself: "But it's no wonder, after all, he has been dead for a long time."
Thinking of this, Guan Heng lowered his head and took a look. He saw that the remains of the wealthy businessman were lying on the ground in a dead state. His right hand was bent into a hook, as if he was making some movement. Guan Heng leaned over to check and found a bunch of keys near that hand.
, and there are some scratch marks on the ground on one side of the finger.
"Is it handwriting?" Guan Heng narrowed his eyes and used the light of the fire element in his hand to carefully read the deceased's message. He saw that there was only a combination of words repeated on the ground, which was the word "Fourth Floor".
"It seems that all the answers to the mystery can be solved on the fourth floor." Guan Heng glanced at the remains and said in a low voice: "Brother, rich businessman, since you and I meet here, there is a secret guide for you.
Don't worry, I will find out the truth about your murder if I have the chance."
Taking the bunch of keys, Guan Heng jumped up to the cellar exit, closed the cellar door, and hung up the broken lock, so that even if someone passed by, there would be no flaw in the dark night.
When he came to the garden, near the outer wall of the house, Guan Heng grabbed the thick ivy spreading on the wall and pulled it hard. He felt that it was unusually strong, so he followed the ivy and used quick and unparalleled movements, "噌噌噌噌噌"
Oops!" He climbed to the edge of the rooftop on the fourth floor in one breath.
"Wha, snap!" Guan Heng, who had just turned over and landed in the corner of the rooftop, his ears twitched suddenly, and suddenly heard the sound of someone walking in the room, so he hurriedly dodged to the side of the rooftop, where there happened to be a huge potted plant blocking Guan Heng.
Horizontal body shape.
"Squeak!" The door from the rooftop to the room on the fourth floor suddenly opened, and two people wandered out of the room. They went straight to the rooftop guardrail illuminated by the moonlight and stood there.
Through the bright moonlight in the sky, Guan Heng could clearly see the appearance of these two people: a thick and bald man, not tall, but with huge muscles and fierce eyes, like a beast ready to devour anyone at any time.
The other man was tall and thin, with a strong figure and thick curly hair that reached his shoulders. The most striking feature of this man was a huge aquiline nose, which blocked part of his eyes and mouth.
Guan Heng saw the appearance of these two people and thought to himself: "The appearance of these two people has some impressions. Jacques of Black Feather Crow seems to have described it to me, and also specially reminded me that they are Mr. Pippin's personal bodyguards. Short.
The bald guy’s name is Suojia, and the tall and thin guy with the hooked nose should be Sai Young.”
Guan Heng recalled in his mind what Jacques said to him: "Both Mr. Pippin's bodyguards are ill-tempered and ruthless people. It is estimated that the rich businessman will most likely die in their hands."
At this time, the bald Suojia said: "There is no one here, feel free to speak. Alas, we have been guarding that gambling bastard Pippen for a long time. I am really fed up with his bossing around. If it weren't for
For the sake of the mission, I would have torn this kid to pieces."
"Stop complaining." Sai Yang with an aquiline nose said: "Fortunately, we have already obtained that thing. As long as we take this opportunity to pass it on, the two of us will have done a great job. When the time comes, the reward from above will be indispensable. This is called first
Bitter and then sweet.”
"Humph, I hope so." Bald Suojia asked, "Have you hidden the list?"
"Don't worry, you know where the things are hidden and I know. It's definitely secret enough." Sai Yang, the hook-nosed man, said, "That gambler as stupid as a pig will definitely not show up tonight. We can make excuses tomorrow."
Return to Dongjun in advance and bring the things to the contact person above, and you and I will have completed our mission."
