When he opened his eyes again, it was already seven o'clock on Sunday morning, and Jenkins felt that he was in good spirits. Get out of bed and open the curtains, outside is the world of silver, but the snow has stopped.
"very good!"
It seems that the events of the past few days have consumed all the bad luck, and this morning's good thing is not the only one. After discovering Xueting, the steward immediately arranged for two servants to take a long way to leave the villa and go outside the mountain to find someone to rescue. At the same time, nothing happened all night yesterday, which led people to believe that as long as everyone was together, the murderer could not hurt anyone anymore.
With this in mind, the travelers gathered in the lounge on the first floor of the villa all day long. Except that Jenkins continued to search for the secret passage with the butler, they didn't even go to any other location outside the meal time.
Hathaway sat in the softest chair in front of the fireplace, looking tired. Mademoiselle Michael sat beside her with a volume of poetry which she had lent out from the library at the Heights.
"You seem to have gone out once last night? I woke up in the middle of the night, around three o'clock, and found that you were gone."
The blonde girl pretended to ask unintentionally.
Hathaway smiled: "I probably went to the kitchen to serve tea. I was a little thirsty at the time, so I didn't wake you up seeing that you were sleeping soundly."
"With Jenkins? I heard his voice in the corridor."
"Yeah, after all it's pretty silly to be alone at night. Chocolate heard my footsteps when I went out and it woke Jenkins so we both went downstairs together. Is that so, Chocolate? "
The red-haired lady asked about the cat lying on the carpet, but Chocolate ignored her. It has no responsibility to prove the lie for anyone else but Jenkins.
Chocolate stayed on this time because it found it boring to follow Jenkins. Instead, stay with the girls to not only enjoy the warmth of the fire, but also get some snacks now and then, just worry about whether the man is in danger all the time.
"Meow~"
Thinking of this, it felt melancholy again, ignored the "intrigue" of the two human women behind it, looked sickly at the flames in the fireplace, and regretted not leaving here with Jenkins.
"Jenkins is really a reliable person."
Miss Michael praised.
"Yes, there are some problems with the way of making friends."
Having said that, Hathaway remembered that before everyone left Nolan, the new god appeared again and defeated the vampire. Those friends of Jenkins must have had something to do with it, and there was nothing she could do to persuade him to leave the group.
"Speaking of making friends, this morning, Jenkins suddenly asked me if Garcia was a friend of Little Wellington who was arrested in the autumn. You should have not forgotten him, that despicable kidnapper."
"Little Wellington?"
Hathaway knew that under that human body was actually a powerful demon. But she didn't know why Jenkins asked such a question, and she remembered what happened last night, so she said:
"Jenkins has always had weird thoughts, which is normal. Oh, Britney, I remember Alan Garcia's middle name is Goodbye, right?"
"Yes, but [Goodbye] is just a middle name he recognizes, not his real name. The real middle name is [Cork], but Garcia thinks it's too common, so he doesn't mention it to his friends The name."
"Cork?"
The initial is pronounced K, which surprised Hathaway. She turned her head to look at the young man who was having a passionate chat with Miss Rick, but she couldn't see that he had any evil intentions.
"What are you thinking about?"
Mademoiselle Michael saw that she was preoccupied.
"It's nothing. I wonder if Jenkins can find the murderer. In fact, he doesn't need to do this at all. The servants have already left. When the police arrive, everything will come to light."
"Yes, you are absolutely right."
Miss Michel forcefully forced herself to laugh, she knew very well that the meeting of the two people late last night was definitely not going to the kitchen to serve tea together, because they had been away for too long.
Of course she didn't want to doubt her lover and her friends, but ever since her father gave that choice, she has been suspicious.
"Britney, you are crazy."
She groaned in her heart, lowering her eyes to the carpet. The cat noticed that the eyes fell on him and looked back, then turned his head back lazily. Stupid human women get annoyed for stupid reasons and have nothing to do with it.
Miss Mihail recalled the rosy dream last night again. That dream made her understand that there might be something wrong with her spirit, otherwise the three of them... She planned to consult a psychiatrist after returning to Nolan this time. one time.
Maybe it was the recent anxiety and the extreme fear of the past few days that caused all this, but she desperately wanted to forget that embarrassing dream. Because, in the few seconds of waking up, she really thought that was the best ending she could have.
Jenkins came back at lunch with good news. Mr. Housekeeper and he found a secret passage sealed by stone bricks behind the cabinet in the utility room on the first floor, and when they put their hands in front of the wall, they could feel the wind in the secret passage.
What this means is self-evident, they are already preparing to gather people to open the wall and take a look behind.
The only task for Hathaway and others is to stay here with a group of servants, waiting for the good news from the expedition team.
After lunch, the snow began to fall intermittently in the sky. But the snow flakes are small and not dense. This is the normal snowy day in winter in the villa. At this time in previous years, people who come to travel like to take advantage of this kind of weather to go out and play, but this year probably won't work.
"Hathaway, do you still remember the non-freezing hot spring nearby?"
"of course I remember."
Hathaway smiled, remembering what happened to the two of them last year. But that spring is not simple. During soaking in it, it can increase the absorption of spirits.
If it wasn't for the lack of gold pounds in her hands, Hathaway even wanted to buy this villa. Although it is not yet known why the eye spring has produced such a miraculous change, it is worth buying it even if it costs six figures of gold.
"I seem to have forgotten to tell Jenkins about it."
She sighed in her heart, she might not be able to enjoy that hot spring this year.
"Meow~"
Chocolate hates taking baths and of course doesn't like to soak in hot springs, but it is quite curious about the thing that flashed through Hathaway's mind. That hot spring has nothing to do with the dangerous thing Jenkins hasn't discovered below the villa, so it might be...
The cat swallowed, calculated Jenkins' travel time and the weather in the next few days, and planned to lure Jenkins to take a look over there before leaving here.
