The fat man blinked and stared at the illustrations in the book, wondering: "Yeah, didn't I say before that the owner of the manor and the witches were hanged? Why is there only one person on the illustration?"
"Could it be that the witches were captured?" Liu Hui suggested. "They were executed elsewhere in the manor, while the owner of the manor was hanged from the tree in the illustration."
"The religious atmosphere in the illustration is very strong. Besides, the owner of the manor is not a witch after all. The symbolic meaning of hanging him is greater than the punishment meaning. It makes sense to distinguish the execution from the witch."
Liu Hui's statement made some sense, but judging from everyone's faces, it was obvious that it was a bit forced.
Jiang Cheng flipped through it briefly, and found that this was the information about the Daco Rosa Manor in the book. With Jiang Zhao's lessons learned, Jiang Cheng did not choose to put the book in his clothes, but found a rag to wrap it up, and just took it. in hand.
"Where are we going now?" Ouyang Huanbin was as frightened as a bird at the moment. He didn't want to go back until it got dark.
There are many people with similar ideas to him. After thinking for a moment, Miao Qing looked at Jiang Cheng. He and Jiang Cheng were the two people who had the most say in the team at present, "Brother Jiang." Miao Qing reminded: "I remember there is someone nearby. at a specially marked location.”
Jiang Cheng nodded and did not hide anything, "No. 17 Melrose Street. There may be a family member of a missing person living there."
Following the guidance of the map, everyone turned left and right, and finally found the location marked on the map at a remote corner of a street. It was a three-story house.
It looks very old from the outside. There is a layer of fallen leaves on the ground in front of the door, and some unnamed garbage. "It seems that this family has moved away." Bai Xiaojie looked at the house and said with some regret.
But based on the principle of come and go, Jiang Cheng still walked forward, knocked on the door and asked: "Hello, is anyone here?"
It was quiet inside. Just when everyone was about to leave, Fatty couldn't help but look up. This sight scared him. There was a person standing behind the window on the third floor.
Jiang Cheng put a missing person notice in front of his forehead to block the sun. He looked upstairs and found that it was an older woman. She didn't know if it was because she was wearing black clothes, but the woman's face was particularly white in contrast.
The next moment, a strange scene happened. The old woman saw Jiang Cheng as if she had seen a ghost, she let out a shrill scream, then turned around and disappeared.
At the same time, there was the sound of running in the house. After a moment, the door suddenly opened. The old woman stared at Jiang Cheng with cloudy eyes. An older man followed beside her.
The man held the woman's arm, but it was more like holding her, fearing that the woman would rush over if he let go.
"Who are you?" The elderly man's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were full of vigilance as he looked at the group of people. "Why are you holding my son's missing person notice?"
Now Jiang Cheng understood. It turned out that the old woman was so excited after seeing the portrait on the missing person notice in her hand.
After some explanations from several people, the man sighed, then turned sideways and asked them to come inside to chat. However, Jiang Cheng politely declined, saying that he would not go in to disturb them, and it was good to bask in the sunshine outside.
The man did not force himself. After comforting the good woman and helping her into the house, he turned around and walked out, leading a group of people to the lawn behind the house. "What do you want to know?" The man said hoarsely, "To be honest, I and I Her mother is different, she is always waiting for her son to come back, but I know he is dead, I just hope... I hope that one day I can find his body and let his soul rest in peace."
"We haven't dared to move these years because we were afraid of missing news about our son." The man pursed his lips. His skin was as white as the woman's, and his old age revealed a morbid state.
After seeing the gloom in the man's eyes, the fat man couldn't help but comfort him: "Please be more open-minded. Since no body has been found, maybe..."
"He's dead. You don't understand when I say he's dead?" The man suddenly clenched his fists and stood up, looking extremely scary. "We saw his soul, and his soul is still trapped in that ghost place. !”
"We have no intention of offending you and your wife. To be honest, what happened to your son also happened to us. If we don't find out what happened in that manor, we will also die." Miao Qing said sincerely.
After a while, the man calmed down and sat back, "I know you are also entangled." The man suddenly said, "Otherwise I wouldn't tell you this."
"You know?" Bai Xiaojie couldn't help but frown.
The man raised his head and looked behind them with solemn and fearful eyes, "You have that smell on your body. You can't smell it yourself, but they can."
Everyone turned around immediately after hearing this. On a tree not far from them, a group of crows stood staring at them, as if staring at the rotting corpses.
Ouyang Huanbin felt chills on his back.
"That would be much easier." Jiang Cheng looked at the man calmly, "We will try our best to help you find your son's body, but we need you to tell us everything you know."
Before the man could agree, Miao Qing asked, "What do you mean when you said you saw your son's ghost? Has he come back, or have you seen him in the manor?" This question was very important, so he acted a little anxious.
The man's eyes fell into memories when he heard this, "We were told by a psychic. He came to us in panic after the ceremony and said that our son was dead, but his soul was trapped in the manor, along with the souls of many people. Together, they can’t leave.”
"Why can't you leave?" Liu Hui asked.
The man's tone changed and he said word by word: "Because it's not allowed."
"Who is that?"
The man was silent this time, and then shook his head, "I don't know. The psychic also asked, but my son and the trapped souls didn't dare to mention its name. Maybe they don't know it either."
"But the psychic said that as long as they found their bodies, they could be rescued. He also said that the bodies were hidden in a room in the manor, but they searched all over the manor and couldn't find any room with bodies. ."
"Where can we find that psychic?" Judging from the man's description, this psychic should have some real abilities, and Jiang Cheng plans to meet him.
Unexpectedly, the man shook his head and said, "You can't find him. He is already dead. On the night after the channeling ceremony ended, he disappeared. His two severed fingers were found in the hotel where he lived. , following the dots of blood stains, we followed all the way to the manor, but the blood stains disappeared at the gate of the manor." The man recalled the scene at that time, his face was very ugly.
