After all, the dagger was still too small, so Liang Yuanque scraped hard with it for a while, and only managed to scrape off a piece the size of his palm.
There was nothing under the scraped wall, but Liang Yuanque could smell a stronger smell of blood the moment the wall powder fell off.
This bloody smell is different from what I have smelled before. Its fishy smell is no longer strong, but it is mixed with this rotten and old smell, and it also blends with the smell of wall powder.
This kind of species constitutes the strange smell that Liang Yuanque smelled before.
The third lady looked at him blankly, still not understanding his intention.
Zhuang Youjie reacted and came forward to help, but he didn't have any tools in his hands and digging with his bare hands didn't work at all, so he shouted to the third lady,
"Can you get me a shovel?"
Seeing that the third lady was still dazed, Liang Yuanque called to her, "Go quickly, your sister-in-law is watching!"
The third lady was so frightened that she responded in a panic and ran out quickly.
Fortunately, there were servants outside who were busy preparing for the upcoming funeral. As soon as they heard the third lady's words, they quickly found two shovels and brought them in for Liang Yuanque and the others.
After Zhuang Youjie got the shovel, he asked Liang Yuanque in a low voice, "Aque, where should I shovel?"
"These four walls should be shoveled wherever they can be reached." After Liang Yuanque got the shovel, he started working non-stop.
The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans use tools.
With the help of the shovel, movement became much easier. Liang Yuanque's hands and feet were quick, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, he shoveled down half of the wall.
Since there were no windows in the room, the light was a little dim. Miss Lin San could only see some dark patterns under the wall.
Liang Yuanque dropped the shovel, walked to the side of the room and pushed open the window.
Suddenly, the abundant afternoon sunlight flooded into the room, illuminating the wall he had just shoveled open.
With the light coming, when Miss Lin San looked over again, she couldn't help but let out a scream,
"ah!"
On the front, outlined by dark brown lines, is actually half a human face!
Since Liang Yuanque was not tall enough to reach the upper area, he could only shovel the lower part, so only the lower half of his face was exposed.
This half of the face, with a round chin and delicate lips, looks like it should be that of a woman.
The third lady was a little stunned. She put down the fan she had just raised. With trembling lips, she looked at that half of the face and murmured,
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
On the other side, Zhuang Youjie also struggled to shovel half of the wall.
This wall is also covered with tan lines, but the outlines are not human faces.
The lines were all elegant and densely drawn. Zhuang Youjie was also startled. He took a step back and asked Liang Yuanque,
"This, what is this?"
"If I guessed correctly, it should be the hair." Liang Yuanque stepped forward and stroked the lines.
His guess was indeed correct, these were oxygenated blood.
These bloodstains should be mixed with mercury. The people who have died in this room all this time have obvious signs of mercury poisoning.
Mercury is colorless and odorless, and it is difficult to judge with the naked eye. If you want to determine the composition of the blood-stained paint, you have to send it to a professional hospital for testing.
Obviously there is no hospital in this kind of place.
Liang Yuanque looked at Miss Third, who had a dull expression, and went over to pat her on the shoulder to comfort her.
But for the rich girl who grew up in such a traditional family, the impact of this kind of thing seemed to be too great, and Liang Yuanque's comfort was minimal.
He had no choice but to shout outside and ask two servants or maids to take care of their third lady.
As a result, as soon as he finished shouting, he felt weightless in front of him. Miss Lin San actually hugged him and threw herself into his arms.
At the same time, the servants and maids who heard the shouts also ran over and happened to see this scene at the door.
Liang Yuanque subconsciously raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Hey, let's talk about it first, Ang, it wasn't me who made the first move!"
Following the servants and maids was a skinny man with a sickly pale face.
"Third sister!"
The man shouted, rushed over and pulled Miss Third and Liang Yuanque away.
There were two spots of water on Liang Yuanque's chest, which were the tears shed by the third lady just now.
"Who are you?"
The man held the third lady tightly, looking wary when facing Liang Yuanque and Zhuang Youjie.
Liang Yuanque cupped his hands and gave a casual salute, "Mr. Feng Shui, I just met the old lady."
As if to confirm his words, the third lady nodded at the man, then picked up the fan again to cover her face.
"Mr. Liang, this is my eldest brother-in-law."
It turned out to be the eldest uncle of the Lin family. There were still men in the Lin family.
But looking at my uncle's condition, he probably wouldn't live for more than a few days, and his waist might not be broken by the wind at that moment.
The eldest uncle looked around the room, and naturally his eyes were fixed on the shoveled wall.
"May I ask, sir, what is this painting?"
Liang Yuanque spread his hands and said, "I didn't draw it."
Then, he looked at Miss Third and stopped talking nonsense to this uncle, "Miss Third, I have to report to the old lady."
The third lady nodded slightly, shook off her brother-in-law's hand, and led them to the main hall.
In the main hall, the old lady of the Lin family was still sitting on the throne.
This old woman was dressed very dignified and delicately, but she was also tortured physically and mentally due to the repeated loss of her loved ones, and her face was full of dejection and exhaustion.
"What did you find, sir?"
Seeing them coming back, the old lady asked questions first.
"I discovered the cause of death of the young master and the people who died in this room before." Liang Yuanque replied.
The old lady raised her eyes and asked the servants to bring up two chairs so that Liang and Yuanque could sit down and talk slowly.
"These people all died of mercury poisoning. Blood mixed with mercury was smeared under the wall of that room. If the people living in the room inhale it for a long time, they will be poisoned and die."
When the old lady heard this, she frowned deeply, "You mean, they all died of poisoning, and they weren't just innocent souls seeking their lives?"
"Ahem," Liang Yuanque coughed dryly, remembering his identity as a Feng Shui master, "I didn't feel the presence of ghosts in the room. I guess they have all successfully entered reincarnation."
Hearing him say this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief obviously.
"Sir, the mercury poisoning you just mentioned, what kind of poisoning method is it?"
Liang Yuanque frowned. That's right. It's hard for an old woman in a small town to understand what chemical poisoning is. After thinking about it, she could only explain it this way.
"Someone made a trick with blood in the room. From now on, everyone who lives in this room will be killed."
"So I want to ask the old lady whether the Lin family has been renovated before. If so, the person who decorated the room is very suspicious."
Liang Yuanque saw the old lady's hand on the table gradually clenched into a fist.
