His face was red, black and swollen, as if he had been poisoned.
"It seems like... the butler!"
I don't know who shouted this in the crowd.
My heart thumped violently.
After looking at it for a moment, he covered his mouth.
It's the butler!
Really a butler!
…
The butler is dead!
The death was extremely tragic!
The widened eyes and distorted expression seemed to prove the fear before death.
There are dense holes on the swollen body.
It was extremely dark around the hole.
"It's a snake!"
An Sheng took off his gloves and spoke in a low voice.
"Snake?" My heart suddenly tightened.
"Yeah!" An Sheng nodded gently to me, "Look at the holes on the body, they are caused by two fangs! Based on the distance of the holes, this snake is at least about ten meters long! The edges of the wounds on the neck are irregular.
It was obviously caused by a bite! And highly toxic ingredients were found in his blood!
Extremely poisonous, more than ten meters!
This is clearly talking about the Snake King!
Could it be that the snake king was so hungry that he killed people to satisfy his hunger?
wrong!
He was really hungry, he shouldn't have left a body behind!
"A venomous snake more than ten meters tall?"
Suddenly, the old man spoke slowly.
When he said this, he did not raise his head, but wiped the snake head on the crutch little by little with a piece of white cloth.
With your eyes downcast, you cannot capture any emotion.
"A venomous snake over ten meters long has become a spirit!"
When the old man said this, he finally raised his head.
His sharp eyes caught my attention instantly.
My heart tightened, but I didn't look away.
Because I'm afraid of exposing my guilty conscience.
"How come there are snakes in the Chao family?"
The old man muttered to himself and suddenly tightened his grip on the crutches.
Then, he knocked it hard on the ground.
"The housekeeper has been following me for decades, and I must not let his death be in vain! The Chao family will find this snake at any cost! And then... cut it into pieces!"
…
Midnight, three o'clock:
I tried desperately to fall asleep, but the coffee I drank earlier worked.
After counting more than 30,000 sheep, I am still in high spirits.
But if he doesn't fall asleep, how can he remind Si Tan?
After the death of the housekeeper, the court sent ten times more security measures.
Not to mention a big snake that is more than ten meters tall, not even a fly can fly out.
If this continues, the snake king in the wine cellar will be discovered sooner or later!
Shattered into pieces?
The old man's words frightened me.
With his cruelty, even skin cramps and cramps are minor.
no!
I will never let anything happen to Si Yuan!
"Why do you look like a maggot?"
Suddenly, Chao Mu Nian's voice came from the door.
By the time I sat up reflexively, he had already strode in.
"This is my room!" I was annoyed.
"This is the Chao family's territory!" Chao Mu Nian snorted, "I can go wherever I want!"
Speaking of this, Chao Mu Nian softened his tone. "You don't want to sleep either?"
Why don't I want to sleep?
I want to sleep but can't!
"Grandpa was busy at work, so I was raised by the housekeeper! In my eyes, he has long been regarded as a relative! I didn't expect him to die like this!" Chao Mu Nian suddenly darkened his eyes and clenched his fists. "If I catch him,
That poisonous snake will definitely eat its flesh and drink its blood!"
what to do?
These grandfather and grandson, one is more vicious than the other!
Lord Si Yuan...
etc!
I have to calm down!
The poisonous snakes that sucked up the realgar medicinal properties for me before had ulcers on their abdomens.
Obviously, it was caused by wandering through snake repellent plants.
The area where the housekeeper fell was covered with snake repellent grass.
The Snake King is fully capable of killing the butler without harming himself, so why bother?
Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea.
"The housekeeper has always been humble and polite, and he was also polite to me. I didn't expect..." I said this with pretense of regret, and said in a longer tone. "I should see him one last time and give him a good send-off!"
These words immediately raised the head of Chao Mu Nian who had buried his head.
"I am the one who should give the housekeeper a lift!" Chao Mu Nian stood up and said, "Let's go!"
…
Take advantage of the night and enter the butler's room.
There, the air conditioner has been turned to the lowest setting.
As soon as you enter the door, you will feel the cold air.
The housekeeper was lying on the bed covered with a white cloth, and his eyes had obvious traces of wiring.
It is said that An Sheng couldn't close his eyes even after caressing the housekeeper several times, so he had to sew it up with needle and thread to preserve his dignity.
He walked over to his old age and bowed deeply.
And I searched around, and finally my eyes fell on the clothes next to me.
The clothes were exactly what the housekeeper was wearing before he died, and they were stained with blood.
I picked it up and looked at it carefully.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
According to An Sheng, the housekeeper's body was covered with numerous bite marks.
It makes no sense, the clothes are intact!
The clothes were indeed in good condition, with no damage except for some blood stains.
It's impossible for the snake king to strip the housekeeper naked, bite him to death, and then put him back on again, right?
Si Tang couldn't transform into a human without the ten thousand-year snake slough, and he couldn't do this even if he transformed into the form of a snake king!
unless……
My eyes suddenly opened wide.
Unless the butler was not killed by the Snake King at all!
The old man deliberately framed the snake king just to test my behavior.
He made such a big noise just to make me feel in danger.
And if I have a relationship with the Snake King, I will definitely tip off the news.
When the time comes, he will catch the turtle in the jar!
He is indeed an old fox!
Nian Dafu was taken to Chaojia's laboratory, and he must have said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
In fact, the old man has never given up his doubts about me being pregnant with a snake and having an affair with the snake king!
He seems to be tolerant and relaxed towards me, but he just wants me to relax my vigilance!
Fortunately, I didn't rush into the wine cellar to report the news, otherwise the Snake King and I would have been caught in one fell swoop.
Since the housekeeper was not killed by the Snake King, it was the master’s hand!
Because I violated the agreed time, kill the housekeeper and then lure the snake out of the hole?
Too cruel!
"Caught the Snake King!"
Just when I was relieved, there was shouting from outside.
The tip of my heart suddenly twitched.
Chao Mu Nian, who was bowing his head in condolences, quickly raised his head.
"Did you hear that? They got it!"
Speaking of this, Chao Mu Nian gave him a sharp look.
He pushed me hard and strode towards the door.
Originally, I was about to follow, but I stopped abruptly.
After a pause, he turned around and headed to his residence.
Lying on the bed, taking a nap.
But my heart was turned upside down.
The old man's thousand-year-old fox must be full of tricks.
If I rush forward, it will show my panic.
Si Yuan is the Snake King, so he will be fine!
If I mess up, it will hurt him.
While I was praying silently in my heart, there was a knocking sound on the floor at the door.
I quickly stood up and looked up to see an outlined figure.
Under the moonlight, the snake head held tightly in the man's hand was glowing with cold light.
"Old man?" I sat up pretending to be flustered.
"It's okay, go to sleep!" The old man said with a smile, "It'll be okay when it gets daylight!"
