The painting techniques for these murals are actually very rough.
But if you look carefully, you can understand what these simple lines represent.
For example, if you look directly at the several cylindrical objects in the corner, you might not be able to tell what they are, but as long as you go to the vegetable cellar, you will find that they are actually pickle jars.
This painting expresses the dismemberment scene in the vegetable cellar.
There are two men in a squatting position, disposing of a female corpse on the ground. The female corpse's head and some limbs are not shown, only two arms and a pair of breasts indicate "her" identity.
As for the two men who were dismembering the body, one of them had no obvious features and could only tell his gender.
The other one has a stooped back and a beard painted on his face.
The old lady Zhiqiang said that she arranged for a confidant to help Mr. Lin dismember the body, but she did not mention who it was.
And now it can be determined from the characteristics on the mural that this man is the old housekeeper who just died today!
The old housekeeper who is now a corpse does not actually have a beard on his face, but it is actually difficult to completely remove the feature of beard.
As long as you look carefully, you can find that there are still traces of stubble on the old butler's wrinkled face, but he insists on shaving now.
Now that it was discovered that the old housekeeper was involved in the dismemberment, there is some thought behind his death.
The Lin family has carefully supported him for so many years, perhaps just to prevent him from telling the secrets of the past.
Now, I don't know what kind of conflict has arisen between him and the Lin family. The Lin family decided to kill him directly and silence him.
Liang Yuanque suddenly felt a chill down his back, and the old lady's threat echoed in his ears.
Now we also know the secret of the Lin family, we will not be...
It's hard to say. Those who had won the old lady's trust before, whether they were real Feng Shui masters or charlatans, may have been silenced.
Liang Yuanque cursed in his heart, right? He had just escaped from the water village. He would not have to start an escape again, right?
The commission money from Wang Ming's friend has not been delivered yet. He has not recorded it in his account for a long time and will soon be unable to make ends meet.
The desire for money overwhelmed his worries, and he simply calmed down.
It doesn't matter, even if the Lin family is a devil's cave, I will definitely wipe off twenty yellow croakers today!
Liang Yuanque did not say anything about what he had discovered about the old housekeeper. His expression remained the same on the surface, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Third Miss, this room was once lived in by Mr. Lin, right?"
The third lady heard the words and responded, "Yes, my father has been living here before."
It seems that the person behind the scenes has painted all the cases at the crime scene.
But the girl's death occurred in the cellar. Perhaps because the cellar had been sealed and there was no chance to go in to paint, the scene was painted in the murderer's residence.
In that case, the room where the eldest lady was locked was the scene where Old Mrs. Lin raped Miss Mo.
The guest room where Liang Yuanque and the others lived was the place where Master Lin used Miss Mo Er to practice the "immortality skill".
So what happened in the young master's room before? But judging from the paintings, no information can be seen.
"Third Miss, who used to live in the young master's room?" Liang Yuanque turned to ask Third Miss.
This confused the third lady. Because she was young, she didn't know many things in the past. "I only know that it used to be my eldest brother's room. Before that, I didn't know."
Liang Yuanque nodded and put the question aside for now, "Okay, then take me to another room."
The other room is not far from this one, but its structure is different from the other rooms. It is much smaller to the naked eye and has few windows.
"This place was used as a delivery room in the past. Our Lin family has rules. Women must go to the specified position to give birth." The third lady introduced to them.
"It's really troublesome." Liang Yuanque whispered.
But when he heard the purpose of this room, he could think of what was painted on the wall before he even entered.
Sure enough, when I went in, I saw a painting on the wall of a woman who seemed to have just given birth.
This woman is lying on a crudely painted bed, completely naked, with one arm hanging down limply, indicating that her life has come to an end.
Strangely, this woman has no facial features, so it is difficult to tell which woman she is from the previous mural.
Maybe "she" expresses two people, Miss Mo Da and Miss Mo Er. These two poor girls both died in childbirth accidents.
Of course, Miss Mo’s death does not rule out human factors.
Through these murals, it is enough to see that the person behind the scenes is very aware of the secrets that happened in the Lin family.
This person even knew where and under what circumstances these events occurred.
Miss Third, who had been growing up in the Lin family, did not know about these things.
This person must know the Lin family very well, and he is most likely from within the Lin family.
He or she appears just to come back for revenge and slowly torture everyone in the Lin family to death.
Thinking from this point of view, Liang Yuanque is still very biased towards the idea that Miss Mo was not dead at all.
Otherwise, apart from her, the only person who knows what happened back then is Mrs. Lin.
There is no need for this old lady to kill all her relatives, right? I never thought it would be her reason.
Moreover, there is another important clue that has not been used so far, that is, the original renovation of these wing rooms was carried out by the Lin family's in-laws, the Wang family.
Is it possible for the Wang family to know the secret of that year? If they knew, for what reason would they seek revenge?
Anyway, Liang Yuanque thought that if most people knew the secrets of such a wealthy family, they would use the secrets to blackmail them instead of outbursts of justice to avenge those who died unjustly.
The Wang family should not be so noble, right?
It was getting dark outside, and lights were lit in twos and threes in the rooms of the Lin family where someone was present.
The young master was temporarily buried in the family ancestral hall, while the old housekeeper was buried in the cellar, waiting for two able-bodied servants to dig a hole tomorrow.
It can also be seen from this that the Lin family actually does not respect this old butler who has worked for many years. The previous respect for him was probably due to threats.
The nanny next to the old lady came to look for Liang Yuanque again.
"Mr. Liang, the old lady asked me to tell you that you have memorized everything you asked for. When will the rituals you want to do begin?"
Liang Yuanque knew what was coming and couldn't hide. Although he didn't know how to do it, he could perform it.
He whispered a few words in Zhuang Youjie's ear, "Remember to cooperate with me later."
Zhuang Youjie nodded and indicated with his eyes that it was okay.
After arranging his important "partner", Liang Yuanque said to the old nanny,
"Put the table and incense burner in front of the main hall. At 1:10 tonight, I'm going to ask the ghost in the house what it wants to do!"
