Shu Li closed the books and put them back on the bookcase.
She walked on the road that extended outside the manor. Although her eyes were always looking at her feet, her most important thoughts were still focused on the clues swirling in her mind.
Above her head was the silvery white moonlight, its gentle light slanting across every place outside the manor building.
When Shu Li went downstairs, she forgot to turn back to the room and pick up a coat of her own.
She didn't feel it when she was inside the house, but now when she walks outside, Shu Li always feels that there is a constant cold wind blowing on her body.
She rubbed her arms but still didn't look back.
She was just curious if there was an inbox outside the current manor?
If so, then she can judge from these letters who the journalist young man is?
If not, then the identity of the detective will be in doubt.
According to the setting of this damn script-killing zone, this rookie detective named Feng couldn't have been wrongly sealed.
In fact, during the day, Shu Li wanted to ask the chefs who the winner of the previous session was.
But in this matter, Shu Li had no chance to be alone with someone who could easily get the information.
However, Chef Xian and Chef Xin are quite clever and are not easy to deceive.
Soon, Shu Li walked to the gate of the manor. The door that was originally ajar was locked at some point, and there was no key.
Apart from the lights of the main building, there was only a weak yellow light in the security room as far as the eye could see.
But there was no one in the security room, there was only a bowl of steaming tea, and nothing else.
Fortunately, the door was not high. Shu Li leaned over it and looked outside, but did not see anything similar to an inbox or a mailbox.
There are two possibilities before Shu Li now. First, the so-called inbox and letters are all made up by the postman.
Therefore, no trace will remain to this day.
The second point is, how do people who become masters of the manor pass the test?
Shu Li turned around and was about to return.
Suddenly, the wind around her stopped strangely, the already silent night became even quieter, and even the moonlight above her head suddenly changed color.
Not only the moonlight, but also Shu Li's sight dimmed rapidly.
Shu Li: expressionless.
Sooner or later I'm going to exchange a skill on the dog panel so that my damn sight won't hold me back anymore.
Shu Li looked around, and only about a two-meter radius could be seen clearly.
Further away, she could only see blurry lights and shadows.
Shu Li clenched her fists. She was quite sure about the direction of the main building and the way she came.
In this silent environment, Shu Li heard strange noises.
Along with the crisp ticking sound, there was also the sound of high heels stepping on the cobblestones. It was very crisp, but also very permeable.
The sound seemed to come from all directions. Shu Li looked around, but could not clearly distinguish the specific source of the sound.
"Who?" Shu Li's nerves were extremely tense and she asked in a deep voice.
He couldn't see clearly from left to right, so Shu Li's vision was simply focused on the small area under his feet.
She stared at her hands silently, as if thinking about something.
Until a hoarse voice replaced the crisp ticking sound.
The sound was dull, as if it had been synthesized and altered by some electronic device.
Simply put, it is a voice changer.
The voice said: "I am the one who should ask these questions. You broke into our place for no reason, and now you dare to ask me who I am?"
"What do you call your place?" Shu Li asked decisively, fearing that the other party would react and ignore it, Shu Li also added a particularly irritating sentence: "Essentially, we are guests. And you are just employed. A waiter is simply a servant.”
"Guests, you so-called guests are simply ridiculous." The distorted hoarse voice carried a nondescript accusation: "Deceive the original residents to achieve your own goals, and then destroy the manor and everything here."
"You have been excluded. You will never pass the final test and become the master of the manor."
This sentence is not so much a threat as it is a clue forcibly given in the name of the plot.
Exclusion, the final test, and becoming the master of the manor are not things that cannot happen at the same time.
"Then what's the purpose of your appearance tonight?" Shu Li raised an eyebrow, not taking his threat to heart.
She originally wanted to change the subject and quietly moved towards the main building, ready to escape at any time.
but--
But this topic was changed too abruptly and too unluckily.
Shu Li heard the voice and said, "You may not like Chef Xin's cooking, but why do you want to humiliate him?"
Shu Li froze again: To be reasonable, who is the person who humiliated him?
It's like Chef Xin was a balloon that was about to explode, Shu Li just touched it, and Li Zhi was the one who really went up and stabbed him?
So why should he say that he was the one who humiliated him?
Shu Li thought and said so.
Since his own strength is far inferior to that of Li Zhi, of course he has to throw away the blame.
"But you deprived him of access to the inner core base of the estate's servants."
What? What qualifications?
Shu Li's reaction was a little slow, as if she was shocked by these words.
What kernel base?
Shu Li quietly distanced herself from the person in front of her, although in the dark environment, she didn't know where the person was standing.
"You don't understand even after I tell you. You stupid guests don't deserve to hear this at all."
Shu Li took a deep breath: "Yes, yes, you are right!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away. Before she panicked, she seemed to hit someone's arm.
But I didn’t bother to look back. Shuli rushed straight towards the main building.
She originally thought she would be chased, but when she ran back towards the small lantern hanging at the door of the villa, no one was chasing her.
Shu Li stood at the door, standing in a bright place, and looked back again at the boundless night behind her.
On a moonless night, it was pitch dark, but among the seemingly messy hydrangeas, some of the flowers shone with a different luster.
Shu Li glanced at it casually, but then she seemed to see something.
She only stood there for two seconds, then quickly rushed upstairs.
It's not enough to just stand at the bottom. She needs to stand at a higher position to see something that might be a clue.
At the same time, a dark shadow quietly appeared in the room where Li Zhi was.
