"Let your hair fall gently and put on a handsome vest;"
"The dagger raised high falls on the corner of whose eyebrow;"
"The skin of hypocrisy, used to hide evil..."
"Guests from afar, framed in the name of salvation~"
The narrative ended abruptly here. Shuli rubbed the upper right corner of the end page and fell into a strange circle of thinking.
Perhaps, it can’t be called a strange circle.
The truth of the matter can only be known after reading the last book.
The opening chapter is a translated record about fate and taboos.
[Everyone in this world is bound to go through many hardships such as birth, old age, illness, and death. Therefore, those who are unwilling to give up will search for different methods. 】
[It is said that if you take the blood of your relatives and dissolve it in the fallen flowers, you will be as healthy as ever. 】
[More than a hundred years ago, this rumor was widely publicized and everyone in the world knew it. 】
[The source of the rumor is Rongge Manor. 】
Shu Li's eyes fell on the four words at the signature: Detective Feng Shui.
After this page, all the records are about the past owners of this manor.
The record of the incident is in flashback, and it was three years ago when the detective started investigating the matter.
According to records from three years ago, seven people participated in the competition to become the master of the manor, and the person who finally became the master of the manor was a thin young reporter.
But less than a month after inheriting the manor, the other party disappeared mysteriously.
According to records in the incident, the first person to notice the anomaly was the postman who the reporter specially arranged to deliver letters every three days.
When the postman was delivering a letter, his inbox was too full to fit in.
Because at the beginning, the reporter had repeatedly explained to the postman the importance of the letter to him, but now he has not received the letter for a long time.
Therefore, the postman boldly walked into the main building of the manor.
According to him, the person who opened the door was a handsome middle-aged man who looked a little stronger and taller than the reporter.
After opening the door, the other party claimed that there was no owner in the manor and that it was an ownerless manor.
The postman invited the town's sheriff to do this, and after a brief check, the other party declared that these were the postman's fantasies.
As a result, the postman was imprisoned in the abandoned church in the town, and Rongge Manor became a deserted land again.
Underneath the record of this incident, there are some speculations about the detectives.
He was sure that what the postman said must be the truth, but he couldn't find the real murderer. How did he commit this crime?
He marked three doubtful points on it.
First, if it was really the postman's fantasy, there should be some evidence left in the mail's inbox.
Although by the time the detective came here, a long time had passed. However, in some relevant records from that year, there was never any mention of whether the postman or others collected the letters.
So the detective wrote a guess at the bottom. He planned to go to the manor's inbox after dawn to see if there were any letters accumulated in the inbox. That might be key evidence.
But unfortunately, no other text was added to it.
This booklet records things backward in time. Why is this happening?
Shu Li couldn't understand, so she chose to continue to turn to the next page.
Before the reporter young man became the master of the manor, it would take another four or five years. It was the qualifying competition for the master of the manor that was finally put together after many years.
The owner of the manor at that time was an equestrian, and Mr. Equestrian was originally employed by the manor's steward. Because a guest was temporarily unwell, he was asked to take his place in the competition.
But no one expected that this equestrian could actually come out on top and get everything in the manor and the name of the owner.
No one knows the specific time of Mr. Equestrian’s disappearance, but it’s just that a long, long time has passed since it was rumored that Rongge Manor would hold the master’s selection qualifying competition again.
After this, there are stories one after another related to time and keywords, and in each story it is related to betrayal.
The perspective of the flashback record means that there are not many appearances of the butler at the beginning, but after turning more than a dozen pages in the book, the existence of the butler begins to appear frequently in those records.
Maybe it's to stop a meaningless fight, or maybe it's to keep the employee's mood out of control.
The more Shu Li looked back, the more she could understand why Mr. Detective used flashback to record it.
Because in terms of viewing order, starting from the first page happens to be a flashback of the entire event.
Shu Li pinched her eyebrows. I turned directly to the last page in my hand.
In fact, the book is not as thick as they thought. To be precise, it is not that thick where there are records.
The content only lasted about twenty pages and stopped there.
On the blank page are records about the butler himself.
Next to him is a man with a height of 192cm. He is wearing a black suit, well-tailored and very eye-catching.
He also wore a hat on top of his head. The wide brim of the hat covered the upper half of his face, and his facial features were not clearly visible.
The man stood with his arms folded.
With a faint arc at the corner of his eyes, his stern persona instantly stood firm.
The man's left hand holds a scepter about 1.3 meters tall. The top of the scepter is a transparent gradient hydrangea.
From this point of view, it seems to match those in the manor now.
So will the current owner of the manor be the butler?
This is also questionable in the detective's supplementary explanation, and there is no updated information similar to the answer.
Shu Li continued to search forward from this page and found that almost all of the dozen or so people at the beginning had similar names.
In the beginning, the targets were still people who were related by blood. It was not until the middle stage that the people participating in the battle began to be different.
People from all over the world, whether they are enemies or friends, it seems that the original part about the curse has become unimportant.
After learning the total number, Shu Li patiently flipped through the pages of records, gaining a superficial understanding of the past owners of the manor.
From the earliest days to the end, almost all the winners were male young men, and the opponents were always very thin.
The detective's record must not have been made by chance. Shuli touched his chin, thinking about the connection between them.
In fact, there is a most intuitive idea, which is also not very possible.
That was the man who became the master of the manor every time. It's all the same person.
But if you think about it this way, and compare it with the contents of the other two brochures that Shu Li saw just now, then the identity of the owner of the manor is fixed on three people.
The illegitimate son and heir in the first story, and the little child living alone in the manor in the second story - Rong Ge.
