For the next time, Xiaolan and the maid stood at both ends of the wooden door, listening to the maid tell the story of the two girls.
Every bit of two people.
Until the day the blonde girl was killed.
The maid stopped, looking past Xiaolan with empty eyes towards the white cloth on the stone bed.
"I would never do such a thing." Xiaolan said loudly.
"Who would do such a thing?..." the maid murmured to herself.
Xiaolan seized this opportunity.
"Maybe I can find the answer."
The maid's eyes returned to her face.
What is this suspect talking about?
Her eyes seemed to say this.
"Last night, I was chatting with you in the storage room," Xiaolan said quickly. "Not long after we separated from you, Dr. Suowan's body was discovered. Do you really think that in such a short period of time, I
Can it kill a person? Or should I kill the doctor before meeting you?"
The maid backed away a little hesitantly.
"I was wrongly accused," Xiaolan said while holding on to the window, "and I think... I may be very close to the truth."
"Why are you saying these things to me?" The maid looked to both sides uneasily.
She knew the answer.
"Now," Xiaolan almost begged, "you are the only one who can help me."
A few hours later, Xiaolan was free again.
At that time, it was already late at night. After the red-haired maid decided to help Xiaolan, she stood firmly on her side. Her will to help her friend seek justice pushed her to do many things that she would never dare to think of at ordinary times, such as
Send away other servants, such as sneaking into Yrel's room for the second time to steal the key.
"Where are you going?"
Before parting, the red-haired maid looked at Xiaolan's back uneasily and asked.
Xiaolan also thought about this issue carefully.
If he went straight to Moses' bedroom now, there would be only one outcome, that is, he would be caught back again, and he would even get involved with the red-haired maid.
"That tower." Xiaolan said.
"tower……"
Seeing the maid hesitate to speak, Xiaolan stopped and asked, "Do you know anything?"
"Actually... that tower was not like that before." The maid lowered her head.
"What does this mean?"
"A few days ago, the day after you fell from the tower, Miss Yirel ordered us to clean the tower," the maid said, "The previous tower was not like that."
really.
"Before, the door on the top floor was closed, right?" Xiaolan asked.
The maid nodded.
"What's inside?"
"There's nothing," the maid said quickly. "Under Miss Yirel's instructions, we moved some materials in."
Xiaolan glanced at the red-haired maid gratefully, "I'm going there."
In fact, she was not imprisoned for long, but when she breathed the fresh air outside again, Xiaolan still felt the joy of freedom.
Xiaolan was a lot more cautious this time. She put on the cloak that the little maid had stolen for herself, hid among the trees in the courtyard, and slowly approached the steeple.
The rain was already very light, and the air was filled with thick water vapor. A layer of mist seemed to be cast around the castle in the rain, and traces of flames flashed from time to time between the windows.
Xiaolan walked around the garden.
The minaret is still the same as before.
Xiaolan quickly walked through the woods and came to the bottom of the minaret.
She went around to the back of the tower first.
The rain has turned the soil on the ground countless times, and it is impossible to tell that anyone has fallen on this soft soil.
On a rainy night with no moonlight, Xiaolan walked in the darkness and followed the back door of the tower to the inside of the tower.
Xiaolan took off the hat of her cloak and looked around.
The inside of the tower, where raindrops cannot reach, is still dry and refreshing.
Nothing seems to have changed.
Xiaolan walked up the spiral staircase.
Sundries and spare food are still listed all over the stairs, even in the room at the end of the stairs.
There is no door, and there are also the same debris inside the door.
Xiaolan walked in.
There were so many items placed around the room that there was almost nowhere to go. When Xiaolan was holding the wooden box and moving deeper into the room, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in the fingers of her right hand.
She thought she was cut by sawdust.
However, when the condition of her right hand came into view, Xiaolan saw the brown hair wrapped around the index finger of her right hand.
This hair is actually still tangled in my hand.
Xiaolan pinched the other end of her hair and hesitated for a while.
Then, wrap it tighter.
The wooden boxes in the room were all covered. Xiaolan simply lifted the lids of all the boxes and looked at the items placed inside.
Nothing unusual.
However, this is not difficult to understand. After all, the state of the entire tower was "disguised" by Yrel's servants. How could they put the clues here for them to see?
but why……
Xiaolan looked at the wooden strips sealed around the wall.
Why are there wooden strips nailed to the walls of this room?
What is the general purpose of installing wooden strips on the wall?
At this moment, Xiaolan could only think of one use for using the sauna.
But it's obviously not right.
Xiaolan struggled to climb on top of the box and got close to the wall.
A scent of wood.
Xiaolan reached out and knocked.
It's not hollow either.
But...here...
Suddenly, Xiaolan seemed to hear the sound of liquid dripping.
The rainwater on my body has been shaken off, so there should be no more dripping.
Xiaolan also checked the edge of the cloak.
Tick tock…
Xiaolan turned her head sharply.
The sound came from another corner of the room.
Xiaolan stood up from the box and looked over from a distance.
It seems like there is nothing.
She looked up again.
With a solid rock top above our head and water-absorbing wood all around, how could it possibly leak?
Tick tock…
Suddenly there was a slight pulling force in my right hand.
Xiaolan looked down at her slightly trembling right hand in disbelief.
To be precise, the index finger of the right hand.
The finger was beating like a spasm, which did not come from Xiaolan's own strength.
It's the hair tied to my fingertips.
That hair was pulling Xiaolan's fingers toward the door.
Tick tock…
I don't know if it was out of illusion, but Xiaolan felt that the voice seemed to be approaching.
Xiaolan became uneasy.
The force coming from the hair was a little stronger, and it even made Xiaolan's fingertips feel a little painful.
Xiaolan understood its meaning.
Run quickly.
but……
Xiaolan looked at the corner where the sound of dripping water came from.
"Hiss——"
She jerked her right hand away and looked at the blood seeping from her fingertips.
The trembling hair has been deeply embedded into the skin of Xiaolan's fingers.
All right.
Xiaolan stepped directly on the box and ran towards the door.
Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock...
The sound of water dripping is accelerating.
It was as if he was chasing behind him.
Xiaolan jumped down from the wooden box closest to the door.
