"However, Reporter Xiao's father has been away from the manor for too long, and Reporter Xiao has never been here, so for so long, Reporter Xiao has not had the opportunity to come into contact with this place."

"Until a year ago, the old manor owner inexplicably wanted to find someone to write about his legendary life, and he had to publish it. This idea led him to meet reporter Xiao, and he was targeted."

"After making all preparations, Reporter Xiao came here. Although she did not expect that the old manor owner had passed away for nearly half a year."

"Miss Meng came a week earlier than her, and at this time the manor owner has agreed to Miss Meng's request to divide the family property and is already making preparations. Miss Meng will leave with the things she has been allocated in the next two days."

"Therefore, reporter Xiao's motivation is even more urgent."

"I found poisonous powder in her room. The instructions on it said that as long as the target smells this for more than three seconds, the target will die in a coma."

"You want to say that even though the fatal wound in the throat is already confirmed, you still want to use this to smear me?" Reporter Xiao sneered: "We haven't finished voting yet. Are you so anxious to betray your teammates?"

"But you really didn't explain that poison."

"Explanation? What explanation do you want to hear?" Reporter Xiao asked him.

"I told you, this is for other people." Reporter Xiao was a little impatient when he said this, and his eyes crossed Shu Li unnaturally.

Shu Li: ...This is strange

She is a gardener, why offend her?

Everyone was waiting for reporter Xiao to continue talking, but she just looked at Wen Zhefeng impatiently: "Are you done? Let's change the person after that."

"Not yet." Wen Zhefeng shook his head and added: "Reporter Xiao used the excuse of writing a biography of the old manor owner. She has been in close contact with the old manor owner these days. She has far more time than me to take action."

"In addition, she went to ask other servants more than once about what happened a year ago. But because almost all the servants were replaced three or four months ago, she was unable to do so."

"Excuse me." Upon hearing this, Shu Li noticed something was wrong: "Just changed it three or four months ago?"

"Yes." Wen Zhefeng nodded: "The reason why I know is because I want to replace the previous chef position, so I investigated it specifically."

Shu Li looked at Li Zhi and raised an eyebrow.

"In the past six months, the manor has changed servants twice? Are they all replaced, or are they inconsistent?"

Sensing that Li Zhi seemed to be hiding something, Shu Li wasn't sure whether he couldn't say it or didn't want to say it.

But when this question is asked, even if Li Zhi doesn't say it, he still needs to give an answer that satisfies others.

After a short silence, Li Zhi said: "After handling the funeral of the old manor owner, under the order of the manor owner, the manor underwent a second major blood change."

"what is the reason?"

"Transcendence."

Shu Li blinked and understood something.

But others were a little confused. Reporter Xiao asked: "What has been exceeded?"

"Probably, it's the duty of a servant." Li Zhi said, with one corner of his mouth raised, and the meaning of ridicule was obvious.

Seeing that others still didn't understand, Li Zhi simply explained it more clearly.

"The earliest reason was that the old manor owner was seriously ill and the small manor owner was young. The manor was in a dilemma."

"This leads to the old manor owner's method of obtaining the death penalty and borrowing other people's lives for his own use. However, this method seems to have some flaws. It takes effect for a short time and needs to be used regularly."

"The second reason is that the owner of the manor accidentally discovered a person who had been in effect for a long time after being replaced. After careful inspection, he had a slight blood relationship with him."

"So he began to lure many greedy relatives with money and take away their lives."

"The third reason was that the owner of the small manor fell ill. The doctor told him that it was due to some kind of epidemic, suspected to be related to a blood virus. But the manor owner insisted that there was nothing wrong with the manor and drove the doctor away."

"Therefore, the small manor owner who was so sick that he lost his mind found the basement on his own one day, and together with the old manor owner who had violated his original intention, he performed the whole ceremony of the taboo."

"The fourth reason is that the old manor owner did not expect that his young daughter was more powerful than her. When the other party lost control, he had lost any leverage to restrain the other party."

"So he spent a lot of money and found a new way. That was to fuse him with his daughter."

"The fifth cause is transcendence."

"The old manor owner ignored the servants' sincerity in taking care of the small manor owner for a long time. He was stopped by the butler and two other servants, and the ceremony failed."

"And the result: the old manor owner found himself not in his already riddled body the next day, but in the body of his housekeeper who was in his prime."

"And this body has the full trust of the owner of the small manor."

"So, he made a prompt decision and got rid of the housekeeper who was weak due to the replacement, and wrote a suicide note in his own handwriting and placed it in a conspicuous place."

"After that, in the name of the owner of the small manor, he drove away all the servants who knew them."

"Also, he hired someone to get rid of the two servants who had done more harm than good to him."

Wen Zhefeng frowned: "One is the former chef, who is the other one?"

"...A Suan." Li Zhi paused for a moment and looked away from Shu Li.

Shu Li thought of the red invitation, and before she could ask, Li Zhi explained.

"He escaped originally and returned home safely. But he seemed to think that he was just unlucky and did not expect that it was the handiwork of the old manor owner."

"So, a few days ago, when he came back to deliver the invitation, the old manor owner took the opportunity... to kill him."

Shu Li shivered inexplicably, it was really inexplicable, as if someone was tickling her behind her.

But this did not attract her attention now. She thought of the manor in the future and compared it to the present, and an idea emerged.

"You killed him in the garden? And then hid him where I live?"

"I can't say I hid it in your room. I just tied it to your roof with a rope."

"You...you?" Wen Zhefeng's eyes widened, and he reacted faster than Shuli: "Such a ruthless act?"

Facing him, Li Zhi just rolled his eyes.

Then, he smiled and said: "But I advise you, if you vote for me, you will definitely lose."

"You've done so many things, you shouldn't be cast out?" Reporter Xiao looked him up and down with a sharp gaze.

Li Zhi was very indifferent. His words were not meant for them. If there was a misunderstanding, there was nothing he could do about it.

Instead, it was Shu Li. She remained silent, making Li Zhi a little unpredictable.

In fact, when we got here, Shu Li had everything she was looking for, but...

However, she always felt that there was a literal trap in Rong Ge's request...
