But the top priority now is to find Miss Meng.
"What should I say? Do you need to open these two rooms and take a look?" After all, the basement is such a big space, and they can't get through the wall, so there are only two rooms with ajar doors. .
"Is this still necessary?" Feng Cuo was a little resistant. The lethality of that glance just now was so impactful that he couldn't accept it.
Shu Li quirked her eyebrows and said, "If you are scared, you can stay outside and I can go in by myself."
Two handsome guys who were "looked down upon":...
After saying that, Shu Li did not hesitate any longer and stepped forward to open the door.
Under the dim light, the wind brought out by opening the door raised a layer of dust and mist. I don't know if it was dust or something else.
Shu Li had already expected it, so she hid behind the door without saying a word, and even held her breath, not being contaminated at all.
Li Zhi lit the lamp on the wall next to him. The light became much stronger, and everything in the room was completely revealed to them.
There were a huge number of scattered bones, but as long as the bones could be clearly seen, every wound almost fell on the same place.
"Every wound has left such deep marks on the bones. The old manor owner was very harsh." Shu Li took the kerosene lamp from Li Zhi's hand, squatted at the bones closest to her, and inspected them carefully. .
The marks left on the bones are long and narrow scratches, mainly located on the neck, shoulders, wrists and knees.
"Is it because of the experiment? It seems different from the records we have seen."
Li Zhi also squatted down beside her. At some point he took out a pair of gloves and put them on his hands, and then touched the bones.
"These traces were left when they were alive, and the sharp tools used should have been specially made."
"Then have you seen anything similar? And is there no old manor owner's room here?" Shu Li turned around and asked.
"Yes, according to the background of my story, after the old manor owner passed away, his room was packed into a utility room." Li Zhi looked at other traces to distinguish, and gave the information: "And this The decision was made by Rongge."
The two of them asked and answered questions, completely ignoring Feng Cuo who was standing behind them.
Shu Li spoke again: "I remember you said just now that Rong Ge's temper only started to get bad after the resurrection from the dead?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Then what is the sequence between the resurrection from the dead and the death of the old manor owner?"
The person who always answered questions fell silent: "I don't have this information here."
Shu Li was not surprised at all, nor did she doubt whether Li Zhi was hiding it on purpose.
"Well, it seems that it must be important information, so it won't be easily let us know."
After saying this, the two people fell silent briefly.
Feng Cuo, who finally found the opportunity to speak, asked: "Didn't you say we want to cooperate and share information? Can you give me an explanation?"
Shu Li ignored him and turned around to go to the opposite room, leaving it to the two of them.
Whether to talk or not, to trust or not, that is all Li Zhi's decision. Shu Li neither participates nor interferes.
She followed the same method as before and opened the door on the opposite side.
This room is not much different from the first one, except that there are some strange scratches on the wall, as if someone has been imprisoned.
Shu Li held a kerosene lamp closer to identify the mottled marks left on the wall.
At first I could still make out the complete handwriting, but after that it was basically filled with resentful and curse words.
The people imprisoned here seem to be servants of this manor.
In his tone, he called the old manor owner his master, and Rong Ge was his little master.
After reading them all, it can be seen that he started recording these words from the door.
At first, he still had hope, thinking that this was a test given to him by his so-called master.
He firmly believed that as long as he completed this test, he would be able to take over the position of housekeeper.
Maybe it was because the old manor owner was getting more and more cruel, and people who couldn't bear the pain began to curse.
But even during this curse, he still held out hope, feeling that he would be dragged out by the old manor owner to declare that he had passed the test.
One day after that, the old manor owner threw him a pile of food and left without saying anything.
The door to the basement never opened again. He relied on the food for an unknown length of time and completely lost consciousness in despair.
The scratches next to it are the marks he used for counting, and there are also some words that seem to have meaning, which is difficult to understand.
As well as counting scratches, this seems to have become an obsession in his heart. There are scratches everywhere on the walls in the room.
After Shu Li read this, he searched the room for the bones belonging to the person who recorded all this. At this time, Li Zhi and Feng Cuo also came over after talking.
Shu Li didn't even raise her head, letting them read the information on the wall. She was still immersed in the action just now.
Originally, there were not many bones in this room. Li Zhi and Feng Cuo also joined the search team and quickly searched the entire room.
But no information matching that person was found.
"Are you really sure? Wasn't he subjected to that kind of experiment by the old manor owner?" Feng Cuo was not questioning Shu Li, but she just said she wanted to find someone with no traces on the bones, but now the result is , they searched and found that all of them were the same.
"I really didn't question what you meant. I just wanted to say that the man lost consciousness at the end. We don't know whether he was experimented on or not."
"Perhaps as he said, this was a test for him by the old manor owner, and he still did the experiment after he found that he had completely lost consciousness?"
"I suspect, no, I should say I can be sure that at this time, the old manor owner has already experimented on him, and his experiment has been successful."
Shu Li's eyes stayed on the last clear words and spoke slowly: "Leave him food to give him hope so that he won't make trouble and attract other people's attention."
"After that, send the others away, leaving only the trustworthy housekeeper."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because there are no traces of these in the room opposite, I feel like the two rooms are completely different ways of experimenting."
"The old manor owner may have discovered in him that the closer the blood relationship is, the higher the success rate."
Shu Li pointed to the bottom of the wall aside: "This man said that he has never been greedy. He just wants to stay here as a housekeeper. Even if it is not such a luxurious life, he will be satisfied."
"And he said that he never expected to receive..."
Shu Li's words stopped abruptly as the words were confused, and then he said: "Don't be greedy, be satisfied, don't expect anything..."
"Would such a person be eligible to receive part of the estate's property?"
