"Oh, Decker hasn't left since he came here a year ago, and he doesn't seem to have any relatives outside."
The butler explained, while the doctor nodded silently, unwilling to discuss this topic.
It is difficult to judge the promotion speed of the bestower, which has a lot to do with talent. Jenkins was unable to deduce the sequence of the doctor becoming the Giver and working here, nor could he determine whether this person was related to the disappearance of his companions.
After briefly checking the room, they checked the bookshelves in the doctor's room, and then returned to Miss Mikhail's bedroom. She still didn't wake up, and Mr. Deckert offered to inject her with some medicine to keep her healthy, but Jenkins refused.
People in this era have a very shallow understanding of diseases, and the treatment methods are single and terrible. More importantly, they don't care about blood-borne diseases at all. Those metal syringes are often used many times. Jenkins doesn't want his friends to contract those weird infectious diseases because of small negligence.
The next person to be inspected was Keo Odley, the key keeper. He was too old, and the only reason he insisted on working here was because he was trusted by the owner of the villa.
Audley does not live in the villa, but has a separate hut behind the villa. It was closer to the steam ovens that heated the estate, so that the workers who ran the ovens actually lived near Mr. Audley.
His room smelled of decay and slimy damp, as if the rooms of old people had a similar smell. The furniture in the room is as old as Mr. Elliott, the wooden floor creaks when stepped on, and the black and white photos hanging on the wall seem to be the latest things.
The old man was the only ordinary person among the three suspects, which made Jenkins let his guard down a little.
"Speaking of which, is there a secret passage in this villa? It is the kind of passage that is not easy to be found and can move quickly."
he asked, remembering the usual plots in detective novels.
"No, sir, that should only exist in detective novels. I have worked here for almost ten years, and I have never heard of such a thing in the villa."
Mr. Steward said, and then looked at the key custodian, he is the oldest person in this Snowstorm Villa.
"I didn't know that kind of passage existed in the villa either."
Jenkins nodded, this is another lie, so there is actually a secret passage in the villa.
It was almost ten o'clock at night when we returned to the villa from the hut outside the villa through the snow, but everyone here was not sleepy. Quick's body is still in his room, and no one dares to sleep peacefully until the murderer is found.
The good news is that Miss Mihail woke up unexpectedly. Jenkins didn't know whether this had something to do with his secret treatment, and the focus now was to ask what happened to the people she was going out.
"I have no idea."
She was still weak. Although she sat up, she had to lean on Miss Lawrence to keep from falling down.
"Not long after we went out, the blizzard became bigger and bigger. Everyone discussed going back early to prevent accidents, but Jennifer disappeared as soon as we turned around. We followed the footprints to find her, and found some strange things in the bushes away from the path. footprints, and Jennifer also started to run in big strides from there... "
This should be the place where Miss Lawrence met the big spider after she accidentally got lost with her companions. Of course, both Jenkins and Miss Lawrence claimed that she encountered wolves. As for those footprints, they are completely covered by snow now, I believe people will not care about this.
Miss Michael was breathing heavily, and Jenkins immediately reached out and grabbed her arm to calm her down.
"Then, we saw a strange man in white clothes holding a shotgun and covering his face completely. He fired a shot at us, and Hathaway pulled me away quickly. During this time, we walked with other people. When we stopped, I don't know where we went."
"Where is Miss Hesha now?"
Jenkins tried hard not to let others hear the anxiety in his tone.
"Sorry, I was so tired, I fell asleep shortly after I stopped. I was here when I woke up, Jenkins, what happened, I seem to have heard you say that Quick is dead..."
She reached out and took Jenkins' palm with her right hand. The girl's hand was very hot, which represented health.
"Falling asleep suddenly, couldn't it be Hathaway's [Lullaby]... What happened to them that Hathaway made Miss Michael fall asleep in that place? Could it really be a strange place, but this And there's no need to leave her alone in the cedar forest."
Although Miss Mihail did not provide any valid information, she was safe and sound, which was the greatest comfort to everyone in the villa. Miss Lawrence told about what happened here one after another, and when she learned that Hathaway had still not returned, she looked at Jenkins with pleading eyes.
"You've got to find her, can't you?"
"Yes, I promise."
Jenkins was so anxious that he wanted to rush into the blizzard and start searching again, but the more he got to the present, the more he should calm down. It is impossible for Miss Mihail to teleport back to the villa directly from the snow forest. There must be a reasonable reason for her to appear in the basement.
With this in mind, he left the petite chocolate with the women as a bodyguard. He went to the basement again with the housekeeper, the key keeper, and the doctor, hoping to find the hidden secret passage.
The room that was filled with people just now fell silent, and the two women looked at the cat lying beside the pillow. After being quiet for a while, they chatted again about the terrible things that happened in Snowstorm Villa.
"Did Jenkins find you?"
** the blonde girl asked again.
"Yes, they encountered wolves, and three of the footmen were killed. Mr. Williams fought the wolves bravely with a shotgun, and later found me on the edge of the cliff."
While talking, he looked down at his knees to prevent lies from being told. Miss Lawrence's toes pressed together uncomfortably. She was not very good at lying.
Although Jenkins has explained to Miss Lawrence how to respond to people's inquiries, not everyone has the gift of lying like him.
But fortunately, in fact, Miss Mihail didn't really want to know more about the cruel incident, so she didn't notice Lawrence's abnormality. She just wanted to find something to do to prevent herself from thinking about the terrible things that Hathaway might face.
