The back says Inheriting the Manor, but the person shown on the front is Jun Moyu...
Su Yinzhen looked at the photos back and forth again, frowning, and after a while he mumbled uncertainly, "Is Mo Yu the owner of the manor?"
"You are the owner of the manor."
Shen Luanying stared at the young man who seemed to be covered with a hazy silver gauze and was as beautiful as a fairy, and said with a certain tone.
"We haven't seen each other for so long, so cousin doesn't recognize me?" Jun Moyu raised the corners of her bright red lips, and her misty black eyes flashed with a coquettish light, like a vortex of magic, "I really don't think so. Do you know whether to be sad or what?"
Shen Luanying wasn't affected at all, she just focused on asking her own question, "Mrs. Shan clearly said that you were not in the manor, and you didn't show up at the dinner party before, why?"
Seeing his serious appearance, Jun Moyu let out a dull snort, and as soon as the enchanting breath disappeared, he said lazily, "I'm thinking about writing a novel, but I'm afraid that I'll lose inspiration and ask my aunt to help preside over the manor temporarily, so I Retreat and write in the room. But because I was worried that others would disturb me, I asked my aunt to say that I am not here, and I decided to look for inspiration because I saw the moonlight tonight. Do you have any questions?"
"Did you set the rule that you are not allowed to go out after 22:00 in the manor?"
"No." Jun Moyu shook his head calmly, "It was made by my father, although I don't know why, but I still follow his orders and continue to do so."
"That means you don't know what will happen after 22 o'clock?" Shen Luanying was dubious.
"Yeah, I've never come out this time, how can I know?" Jun Moyu complained slightly, "It's been like this since I was a child, it seems like I have some secrets to not let me know, is it too much? "
Shen Luanying looked left and right, just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, she was suddenly interrupted by a harsh scream.
"Ahhh!!!"
This is Shen Yuelin's voice.
Jun Moyu's face tightened, and she hurried to the source of the sound. Shen Luanying was about to follow, but subconsciously glanced at the sky before leaving. The silver moonlight still shrouded the manor silently, looking beautiful and hazy.
- But he clearly remembered that when Su Yinzhen arrived, he said "lost because of the blizzard".
When everyone rushed to Shen Yuelin's side, Shen Yuelin was grabbing Lin Ling's clothes and screaming to the core, the figure hanging upside down on the beam not far away was still swaying, her long black hair almost touched On the ground, blood tick-tick back to the ground, although her face could not be seen clearly, only Liang Weiwei was wearing a black and white maid outfit.
The first dead appeared.
Shen Yuelin was still screaming. Although Lin Ling's face was pale, she still tried her best to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all fake, how could anyone hang upside down like this for so long?"
When the two of them were searching for traces of Jun Moyu from room to room, they heard what seemed to be movement behind them. Although the voice was small, it was a bit intimidating. Shen Yuelin thought it was Lin Ling. She just turned her head and wanted him to stop making trouble, but she was caught off guard and faced a blood-stained face.
Now I'm not so scared that I fainted because my mental quality is good enough.
Because Lin Ling was behind Shen Yuelin, she didn't see the tragic situation for the first time. Instead of being frightened by the corpse, she was scared to death by her screams. It took a long time for him to react, but he only cared about comforting his little friend and didn't go up to see who this person was.
Then everyone is attracted.
Su Yinzhen was the first to arrive because he was relatively close. She didn't pay attention to the corpse for the first time, but was observing everyone's expressions and the direction they came from. Not to mention Shen Yuelin and Lin Ling, Butler Liang and Mrs. Shan came together. From the direction, they came from Mrs. Shan's room. They should have been together before coming here.
Only Shen Luanying came from outside alone, and his behavior was suspicious.
And there is... Jun Moyu, who has never appeared before.
She put a red question mark on the two of them in her mind.
No, the information is incomplete at present, and it is possible that they committed the crime together, but we cannot be so sure. Su Yinzhen found that he had entered the habit of thinking, frowned and focused on the corpse NPC that had been put down by everyone.
"Impossible, it's been a long time since such a thing happened..." Mrs. Shan, who had been hiding all the time, suddenly said, her face was as pale as a ghost, when Butler Liang wanted to come forward to comfort her, she suddenly took a step back and cried out. He got up, "It must be you, you broke the rules and went out privately, didn't you! Didn't you say you can't go out after 22 o'clock?!"
long time
Several people noticed this word and couldn't help but glance at each other. Lin Ling was the first to ask, "Mrs. Shan said that it hasn't happened for a long time, does it mean that something like this has happened before? Can you tell us about it?"
Butler Liang stopped him sternly, "Didn't you see that Madam was frightened! I said before that you can't let you outsiders enter the manor, if not—"
He almost spit out something, then suddenly stopped, stopped himself in time, his eyes flickered for a long time before he snorted coldly, "If you outsiders didn't break the rules of the manor, the maid wouldn't have died like this, the culprit behind this tragedy is with you!"
Did Butler Liang really stop him because he cared about Mrs. Shan, or was he afraid that she would reveal her secret
"But since this is the case, we must let us know the truth, right?" Lin Ling did not give in, and insisted, "What secrets does this manor hold? If you really think about the peace of the manor, please tell me Let us."
"Didn't Jun Moyu come over?"
Just when Butler Liang was suddenly silent, Shen Luanying frowned and glanced at the people around, and asked in a deep voice.
Jun Moyu
Lin Ling and the others turned their heads in surprise and excitement, "Mo Yu is here?!"
"It seems that everyone has some clues. Let's find a place to exchange information. As for the true and false, it is up to everyone to distinguish."
Unknowingly, Su Yinzhen stood in the leading position of everyone, and suggested softly with a gentle smile. Everyone obeyed her advice and returned to the living room together, turning on the lights.
"You can't turn on the lights, you can't turn on the lights..." Mrs. Shan seemed to be still in a panic, and she subconsciously called out when Lin Ling wanted to turn on the lights.
"We are all here now, Mrs. Shan doesn't have to be so afraid." Su Yinzhen comforted her softly, seeing that her mood seemed to calm down, "Can I ask now?"
Butler Liang was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "Forget it, this secret can't be kept for long."
"In fact, I only served in this manor for about three years, and I came here with Mrs. Shan." He looked at Mrs. Shan who was holding a teacup beside him lovingly, "Mrs. originally came to defect to her sister, which is the The mother of the current owner of the manor. Who knows when she comes here, the old manor owner has passed away, and the wife has gone with the old master, only the young master who inherited the manor is there."
"The little master sympathized with Mrs. Shan's experience, so he let her live in, and I became the housekeeper of the manor. However, the strange thing is that this manor has always had a rule that you can't go out after 22 o'clock in the evening. When we started I didn't care too much, I just thought it might be the quirk of the old master until one day."
Butler Liang suddenly paused, "Something weird happened."
Shen Yuelin was startled by his strange tone, and subconsciously leaned closer to Lin Ling, she was obviously too scared, but she couldn't help but listen curiously.
"One day, the little master suddenly brought a strange friend, and he clearly warned him not to go out, but he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and went out, and finally disappeared like this."
Lin Ling suddenly remembered his note and listened more intently.
"The next night, a maid was found hanging upside down in front of the mirror." Butler Liang's face flashed a trace of panic, "Her room was covered with blood, and there were bloody handprints on the walls that were obviously struggling. I have never forgotten the tragedy."
"After that, incidents like this would happen every so often. Slowly, only me, Mrs. Shan and the little master were left in the manor. And the little master may have been stimulated by this, and suddenly his personality changed greatly and he stayed out of the house. Always hiding in my room and writing."
Mrs. Shan murmured, "But it hasn't happened for a long time, since there are only the three of us."
Shen Yuelin was about to cry when she heard it, "My mother, this, this is obviously a common plot in horror plots! Will it be our turn to die one by one?"
"So our theme for this issue has finally revealed its head. It is very likely to avoid this—emmmm, let's call it a 'ghost' for the time being." Su Yinzhen tapped the table with his fingertips, "We are going to chase after this ghost. Kill and escape, we still have 20 hours left."
"But we can't stay awake all the time. What if it came when we were asleep?" Shen Yuelin asked shiveringly.
"In the game rules of the program group, nothing will happen during the sleep period, but it is limited to five hours." Liang Taoyun added in a timely manner, "That is to say, if you do not wake up on time after five hours, it is very likely that will die."
"Let's not talk about this first, let's exchange information about each other. But let me remind you that any information we say may lie." Su Yinzhen focused on them, "Can everyone's words be true? Trust, you can only identify it by your own feelings.”
"Since there is no opinion, then I will talk about my findings first."
Seeing everyone nodding, she took out the diary and photo frame, "First of all, I will update my personal identity. I am not only a lost traveler, but also a friend of the owner of this manor. He informed me through some information. He is very dangerous now, which means that the purpose of my coming here is not simply to sleep, but to find the owner of the manor."
"I also found a set of keys in the room, which opened the door of the manor owner's room. The manor owner was not inside, but I found these two items."
"Isn't this photo Mo Yu?" Shen Yuelin picked up the photo in surprise, "Is he the owner of the manor?"
"Have you read it all? Then now I have a question that I have to figure out." Signaling a few people to read the diary, Su Yinzhen nodded to her, then looked at Butler Liang, "Can I ask about our current age? ? We must first find out the current time point, whether the 1980 behind the photo is the past or the present for us.”
Lin Ling then said, "Yes, the time line is very important. If it is in the past, then the owner of the diary is at least fifty or sixty years old by now, so he is definitely not the owner of the manor. After all, according to the character setting , Shen Luanying is the cousin of the owner of the manor, and Mrs. Shan is his aunt, so it is impossible to think about it. So the same is true, just now Shen Luanying said that she saw Mo Yu, and this photo of Mo Yu was taken in 1980. So what kind of existence does Moyu mean to us?"
"If it's now, then it's easy. Mo Yu should be the little owner of this manor."
"Wait a minute, I'm a little dizzy." Shen Yuelin stopped him and said, "You mean, if 1980 is the past, then the owner of the diary is not the owner of the manor, it is probably something of the previous generation or even the previous generation, and in the photo The Moyu in the house is probably a ghost now. But if 1980 is now, the owner of the diary is the owner of the manor, and the back of the photo says that Moyu, who inherited the manor, is the little master, is that so?"
Butler Liang frowned and thought about it, "It's 1983 now, and it's 1980 when the little master inherited the manor, because it was the time when we defected."
"That's right, then." Shen Luanying said, "I saw Jun Moyu outside just now, he called me his cousin, and said that he was writing because he locked himself in the room, so he asked Mrs. Shan to claim He's not in the manor. If the timeline is right, then he's definitely the owner of the manor."
"But what I don't understand is why he hasn't shown up? He was the one who rushed over when I heard the screams, but I didn't see him when I came over."
Su Yinzhen pondered for a while, "Let's talk about this next, let's discuss about this terrifying existence in the diary, who is 'he'?"
"Wait, I have something to add." Lin Ling interrupted her, "When I came, the clue on the small note was because I was looking for a missing friend, so I accepted Shen Luanying's invitation. I came here as soon as I came. I started to think that the missing friend should be Mo Yu, because he has never appeared, but is it possible that it is the missing friend brought over by the little owner of the manor?"
Su Yinzhen quickly picked up the topic, "It's very possible, but there are still a few questions. Why do you think that friend is in the manor? Obviously the manor does not allow outsiders to come, why do you want to bring friends over, Shen Luanying? "
Mrs. Shan asked suddenly, "The most important thing is that the three of us have been staying in the manor for the past few years. You haven't come over for a long time, haven't you? Why did you suddenly come to visit us?"
Shen Luanying replied calmly, "Because I received a letter from my cousin saying that I was invited to come over to talk about something. I haven't found any clues yet, but according to Miss Su's information, it should also be because of asking for help. This kind of thing. The reason why I invited the two of them is because I have heard about the tragedy that happened here, and of course I haven’t come here for several years. These two friends are purely accompanying me to come here to strengthen my courage.”
Su Yinzhen stared at him for a long time, then looked back, "Okay, I believe you for the time being, what about Lin Ling?"
Lin Ling glanced at Shen Luanying, "I know it's because I have been searching for the whereabouts of this missing friend, and I vaguely found out that he seems to have been invited to this manor. It happened that Shen Luanying invited me, so I went with Linlin. come together."
"Okay, then our current role supplements have been sorted out. Before discussing who that 'he' is, I want to repeat it again." She emphasized word by word, "Our words are not necessarily credible. ,This is very important."
Mrs. Shan absently touched the teacup, "So can we discuss who that 'he' is?"
"Of course, I can talk about my personal guess first." Her words suddenly attracted Su Yinzhen's attention, and after taking a deep look at her, she said, "Since Moyu has appeared now, we also After guessing, it was temporarily determined that he was the owner of the manor. Then the friend who asked me for help was him. Besides, he wrote a letter and invited his cousin Shen Luanying to discuss something. I believe what he said, Mo Yu is also asking his cousin. help."
"So one thing is certain, Moyu is in danger now and needs to ask someone for help to get rid of the danger. But at the same time, I have a new question about this, why did he not explain why when Shen Luanying met him outside? , on the contrary, he was still leisurely basking in the moon outside, without any intention of encountering danger, and finally ran away?"
"What is the danger he encountered? Is it the terrifying 'him' written in this diary, or is it some other outsider factor? This is doubtful, I think we can go back to the manor owner's room and take a look later. "
"Aren't we talking about that ghost now?" Mrs. Shan, who was still listening attentively, couldn't help but interrupt, "Our theme for this issue should be how to escape the ghost, right? Is Jun Moyu the ghost?"
"This is not necessarily." Su Yinzhen retorted with a smile, "don't forget, these are just our conjectures. We just think that the theme may be to avoid ghosts, but the death of the maid is not necessarily the work of ghosts, if any of us The murderer can also hang her up and pretend to be killed by a ghost. "24 Hours" is an escape show, and if it is to find the real murderer and avoid being killed, it is also in line with the theme. "
"In addition, there must be a special reason for Moyu to come out after 22 o'clock. It can't just be a simple way of basking in the moon to find inspiration. If it is a ghost chase, the ghost can only appear after 22 o'clock. Why does he choose Come out at this time? Besides... "
Mrs. Shan has been leading the topic to the ghost, and the rest is explained by Liang butler. Why
"Of course, I just mentioned a different angle, and then came back to talk about this ghost." She quickly turned the topic back, "The diary mentioned many times that 'he' is a terrifying existence. It's very good-looking, I want to hug him, and even become obsessed with him... I think, at least this existence will not be a ghost, otherwise the owner of the manor would have been scared to death, how can you say that you love him? "
Shen Yuelin couldn't help laughing, and looked at her with shining eyes, obviously she was another fan girl who was popular with the young lady. Su Yinzhen seems to be born with such a charm. No matter what program she participates in, she can be turned into her home field by her, and it makes people willing to cooperate with her.
"Would that be a vampire?" She curiously put forward her own thoughts, "It may be afraid of light if it only haunts at night. It's scary because he can suck human blood, and the vampires in the legend are not all beautiful. Prosperity? I feel like a vampire."
"Hmm... It's unlikely." Su Yinzhen thought about it seriously, "If it's a vampire, it should cherish blood more, right? So it's impossible that the room is full of blood as Butler Liang said. I think it should be other types. Existence. For example, ghosts and demons in the West, and mountain spirits and ghosts in the East."
"Although there are still many questions that have not been solved, I think the clues should still be in that room. I hope everyone can go with me to find relevant clues. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it." He glanced and wanted to refuse. Mrs. Shan, Su Yinzhen kindly added the second half of the sentence.
Mrs. Shan was silent for a while, looked at Butler Liang, and agreed. The rest of the people naturally had no opinion, so they walked around the scene of the previous crime and walked to the room of the manor owner.
"So do you think the danger Mo Yu is referring to is a ghost or something?" Just as a few people turned on the lights and stepped upstairs, Lin Ling suddenly asked in a low voice.
"I'm not sure yet, after all, Mo Yu is a fan himself now. He is so strange, everything he does is full of contradictions, and he sent letters to Shen Luanying and me because they needed help because of danger, but at 22:00 Staying outside without a sense of crisis at all, when encountering Shen Luanying, it's just like that letter was not sent by him, as if nothing had happened, isn't it too strange? Is he hinting or something else? , I can't judge at all right now."
"But the only certainty is." Su Yinzhen looked up at the top of the dark stairs, and said calmly.
"Liang Weiwei's death is just the beginning for us."
