Although this is not the time to say this, it is great.
I left the castle after twelve o'clock last night.
And... I have a little witness.
Xiaolan's back straightened up instantly. She turned to look at Yirel, who had been silent for a long time, and saw that the woman was indeed staring at her suspiciously. When she noticed that Xiaolan was looking at her, she quickly looked away.
"Judging from the corpse, the child only experienced a small struggle before she died. In other words, the murderer took her life almost instantly." The doctor walked slowly around the female corpse and continued, "These hands
The power must be surprisingly great."
"So, the murderer might be a man?" Xiaolan asked.
Before the doctor could answer, Yirel said slowly, "It could also be a woman..."
The doctor curled his lips, "Female? It's hard for me to see. Of course, I don't mean to look down on women, but... Look, ladies, don't look too closely. Just listen to me. This child will definitely die."
She was conscious. Simple strangulation was a long and painful process, but the child lost her life in an instant the moment she realized the danger. Look at her pitiful expression. In fact, she did not simply die of suffocation——
Her neck was strangled."
Xiaolan felt goosebumps all over her body as she listened to the doctor's description.
Yirel finally moved his gaze to the doctor, and the doubt in his eyes disappeared.
"Broken neck?"
The doctor nodded, "So I say that women rarely have this kind of power, because even among men, I have never seen anyone with such power, let alone women?"
Xiaolan gave up her suspicion of Yirel's vindictiveness, and it seemed that Yirel also did the same. The two of them looked at Dr. Sowan in confusion.
So...it wasn't just a man who killed the girl, but a strong man?
The scene suddenly became weird.
The doctor was silent for a while, stopped and said, "I think we should first find the place where the murderer killed the child. What do you think?"
After waking up the dreamer and listening to the doctor's words, Yrel quickly mobilized the servants to search the tower. However, the result was disappointing to them. There was no trace of struggle or blood in the tower.
A group of people walked back to the castle.
Yirel looked at the golden clock in the hall, hurriedly rushed into the kitchen muttering, the servants dispersed, and Xiao Lan quietly moved to Dr. Sowan.
"Doctor, I see that you blurted out some words when you first saw the corpse..." Xiaolan asked in a low voice, "I... I just arrived here not long ago, and I don't know many things. There has been... something here.
Have you ever experienced anything similar?"
"Miss Yirel didn't tell you?" Doctor Sovan was a little embarrassed.
Xiaolan shook her head, "Miss Yirel is very busy, and there are some things that she hasn't had time to tell me yet."
"Then it's not my place to tell you these things," Dr. Sovan's black bean-like eyes rolled a few times, "About this matter of Morven Manor... I am an outsider after all."
Xiaolan deliberately put on a submissive look with low eyebrows, "Actually, you don't need to tell me, I should also have some feelings. Ever since I came here, I have always felt...an uneasy feeling."
The doctor seemed to be very interested in Xiaolan's words, "Oh?"
"My room...is just opposite the children's room. It's very spacious and beautiful, but...but..."
"Sense of voyeurism?" Dr. Suowan stared at Xiaolan's face and said suddenly.
A sense of voyeurism?
Xiaolan didn't feel this.
"Do you know what's going on?" But Xiaolan still opened her eyes wide and looked at the doctor innocently.
The doctor turned his head and thought quietly for a few seconds, as if he was planning something. Xiaolan leaned her head over and heard the doctor muttering in a low voice, "But she is just a tutor..."
The doctor thought about it for a while, and when he raised his head, he was startled by Xiaolan next to him, "You...you haven't encountered anything dangerous so far, have you?"
"What dangerous thing are you referring to?" Xiaolan asked slyly.
The doctor hesitated to speak and looked around the empty hall. After a long time, he shook his head and said almost every word, "It's okay. You don't have to worry."
It seems that the doctor is determined not to tell him what happened in the manor.
After a while, the dining bell rang in the restaurant. When the two children walked down the stairs and saw the embarrassed Xiaolan and the doctor, they were not too surprised. They only bowed slightly and walked in with a smile.
Dining room.
During the still silent breakfast, the two children did not even question the doctor's arrival, just like two well-behaved dolls, they just smiled gently and sweetly.
The boring day passed by quickly. The two children obviously noticed Xiaolan's anxiety, but did not raise any questions about it. There was even some intention to comfort Xiaolan in their words.
It's like, they are used to this suffocating atmosphere.
Before dinner, Xiaolan saw Dr. Sowan and Yirel talking together. After that, Yirel greeted a few servants and walked up to the second floor with the doctor.
Xiaolan followed and saw Yirel opening a door at the end of the corridor on the second floor and handing the key to the doctor.
After the meal, Xiaolan was just about to follow Dr. Suowan when she felt a tug on her right sleeve.
Look down, it's Lily.
Lily still opened her beautiful and mysterious eyes, staring at Xiaolan.
"Are you still so tired?" Lily opened her mouth, and her voice flowed into Xiaolan's ears like musical notes.
Xiaolan knelt down and looked at Lily's eyes, "What does Lily want to say?"
"Do you think...Lily is obedient today?" Lily blinked.
Xiaolan understood what the little girl meant.
"but……"
The little girl's pupils were instantly covered with mist.
"She feels very sad that you haven't told her stories these days," the little girl's brother, Moses, interjected beside the two of them. "Lily always thought she had done something wrong."
Xiaolan swallowed back what she wanted to say.
"Is it Lily who is disobedient?" Lily raised her eyes and looked at Xiaolan pitifully.
well……
After all, I am still a tutor.
"Lily didn't do anything wrong. I was too tired the past few days." Xiaolan touched Lily's black hair, "I will tell you a story tonight."
After Moses finished assisting, he said good night to the two of them with satisfaction and returned to the room.
Lily took Xiaolan's hand and entered the room. It was like the first time. The little girl jumped to the bookcase and picked it. Finally, she chose a book and handed it to Xiaolan.
