"Yes," the maid said with a sad look on her face, "not long after Madam took Mr. Moses and Miss Lily out, it started to rain outside. There was a lake in the garden, surrounded by weeds and silt. Madam was accompanying her by the lake.
When two children were playing, they fell into the lake. The children were frightened and ran back to the castle. By the time we rushed over, the lady had already..."
Xiaolan restrained her inner disgust and snorted coldly, "Did the two of them tell you that?"
"They?...You mean Mr. Moses and Miss Lily?" The maid was keenly aware of Xiaolan's attitude.
Xiaolan nodded.
"Of course...of course it was the two children who informed us of the matter. You suspect..."
"Nothing, I'm just asking," Xiaolan quickly dismissed the maid's question, "What happens next?"
"After the incident, Mr. Morven originally decided not to marry again until she met Miss Sandora..."
"The sixth bride..." Xiaolan murmured to herself.
"That's right," the maid raised her eyes and recalled, "Miss Sandora, the sixth lady, is Dr. Sovan's sister, but it is said that the two did not grow up together, so until then, Mr. Morven
Only then did I learn that Dr. Sovan had a sister. When the two of them were together, both the two of them and everything in the castle seemed to become gentle and beautiful, but it also directly led to... Mr. Morvern actually forgot about the manor.
Due to the curse, not long after Miss Sandora moved into the manor, Mr. Mervyn traveled far away again. As a result, Miss Sandora died next to the back door of the castle. That cruel man..."
The maid's eyes flashed with tears of resentment. She must have thought of her poor friend.
Xiaolan seized the opportunity and asked, "Do you think Sandora and Mr. Mo Wen are not married?"
"They originally planned to get married, and the whole castle is also preparing for the wedding." The maid wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "But you should also have heard that before Miss Sandora's incident, the beheading of the murderer was already in the village.
Rumor has spread, and many young girls have been murdered. As a very prestigious nobleman in the village, Mr. Mowen is inconvenient to hold a wedding at such a time. Miss Sandora also understands it very well, but she didn't expect that cruel and abominable person.
The gangster actually extended his poisonous hand to Morvern Manor and killed Miss Shandora. Moreover, he is still committing crimes to this day. If I see the face of that devil, I will curse him and bear everything in the name of the Lord.
Painful punishment."
The maid said harshly, but soon realized her gaffe and apologized profusely to Xiaolan.
"It's nothing, I understand it very well," Xiaolan waved her hand, "I have one last question. Was Miss Sandora's body found at the back door of the castle? What did the body look like at the time?"
"Speaking of which..." the maid blinked, "Miss Sandora's body is somewhat similar to Ginny. I remember Dr. Sovan said at the time that there was a lot less blood on Miss Sandora's body. She suspected that Sandora
The lady was not killed at the back door."
Ginny should be the name of the blonde maid.
"At that time, you must have searched all over the castle, but you still couldn't find where the lost blood went, right?" Xiaolan asked.
The maid nodded sadly.
Shandora died in Moses' room. Xiaolan still remembered the scene in the dream. The silver ax was swung and blood splashed around. The carpet, bed curtains, curtains, and everything around were stained with blood.
After a few hours, all traces are gone?
This is unlikely...
The more Xiaolan investigated, the more she felt that what happened in the castle was not simply the perverted experiences of two murderous children.
There should be some things here that science cannot explain.
Xiaolan suddenly remembered Sandora's letters from home, "By the way, where are the letters exchanged between ladies usually stored?"
"Study," the maid pointed upwards, "servants' letters are usually stored in the study. It's just a small study next to the big study. The big study stores the masters' letters and Mr. Merwin's collection of books.
Mr. Mowen is very generous and almost never closes the big study room. He said that if we want to study, we can go to his study room to find books at any time... As for letters, because the communication in the village is very slow, the letters exchanged are not
There are not many, and the letters are all placed at the entrance of the study..."
"What do you mean the communication is slow?" Xiaolan interrupted the maid.
"The communication speed in this village is simply crazy. Therefore, if we have news to be delivered outside the manor, the fastest way is to ask the porter to go to the town to send a telegram. Otherwise, even the slowest horses will run away and the letter will not be guaranteed.
It can be delivered.”
Xiaolan was stunned for a while.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Letter... letter..." Xiaolan pursed her lips, "How far is Miss Sandora's home from the manor?"
"Miss Sandora? She used to live in the village. If you take a carriage, it will take about two hours. But if you ask about the communication time, it will be long. It may not be delivered in two days."
But in the dream, Sandora received a reply to the letter she sent in the early morning at night.
There is only one possibility.
That was not a letter from Dr. Sovan at all.
"The murderer rumored in the village..." Xiaolan asked blankly, "Legend has it that he likes to kill children, right?"
"Child?" the maid showed a puzzled expression, "No, that hateful murderer specializes in killing young and beautiful women, such as Miss Sandora and Ginny."
This is a scam.
Because Shandora saw the reply she thought was from Mr. Sovan and believed that the murderer had killed the children, she suspected that the sound coming from upstairs was the murderer approaching the two children.
Without this letter, there would be no distorted legend...
Xiaolan sighed.
The outcome will probably not change. If they want to kill Shandora, they have countless opportunities and countless methods. The moment Shandora enters the manor, she is already their prey.
Seeing that Xiaolan seemed to have finished asking her questions, the maid walked to the side, picked up a bottle of milk and handed it to Xiaolan.
"You may have to wait a little longer."
"Thank you, it's okay."
Xiaolan took the milk, and the soft liquid slid down her throat and into her empty stomach.
Everything in front of me gradually became clear.
But Xiaolan didn't know what was hidden at the end of this clear line.
Perhaps, it is a happy ending for everyone. I have been vindicated, and I have also found the truth for the girls who died in vain.
