The remaining two beads, in all likelihood, were picked up by Cheng Qian.
But what should she do? Hard robbery, or body search? … No matter which one, it may become the last straw that crushes the other side.
Zhu Shu didn't want to do that.
Because those who are cornered will go mad.
Su Man, Yu Yaqing and Hu Ya came downstairs with ugly expressions.
Zhu Shu stepped forward and asked them, "Did you see where Bluebeard went? The place he went is probably the locked room, and the clues to customs clearance may be there!"
Hu Ya said: "His speed is too fast. When we ran up to the third floor, we could no longer see him, only the sound of the door closing!"
Hu Ya's speech was very fast, as if he couldn't wait to release the suppressed and tense emotions on the third floor just now, and repeatedly emphasized: "He is too fast! He can collapse six or seven steps in one step! Like a monster! ... No, no , he's a monster!"
Zhu Shu couldn't help but ask, "Are there any traces of drag on the ground? Or footprints and scratches, are there?"
Hu Ya paled and shook her head.
Su Man took the conversation and explained: "The carpet on the third floor is very old, and there are traces in front of each door, so there is no way to tell them apart."
After she finished speaking, she paused and looked at Bai Youwei: "I counted the rooms, and there are 128 like the second floor. I checked every room, and I didn't find the Duke and Zhao Lanfen."
Bai Youwei frowned, sitting in a wheelchair and stroking the plush rabbit, thinking.
Her legs and feet are inconvenient, and she can't run up and down like them, but since Su Man and Hu Ya said so, then it is estimated that there will be no change if you look for it again.
Unless they can come up with new ideas.
Bai Youwei raised her head and looked at the huge crystal chandelier above the hall. Following the gorgeous lighting, she could see the spiral staircase reaching the top floor, which was connected to the handrail on the third floor.
"The inspector said that this manor plus the basement has a total of four floors. Since you all saw the Duke go to the third floor, and the third floor is the highest floor, the locked room must be on the third floor."
She murmured thoughtfully: "...Is there a hidden space?"
"If there is a hidden space, I'm afraid we can only find it tomorrow." Yu Yaqing, who has been silent all the time, said in a low voice, "The light on the third floor is too dark, and it is difficult to find clues."
The manor is sunny during the day, but dark and eerie at night, with the lights dwindling from floor to floor.
The hall on the first floor was brightly lit, the second floor became much dim, and the third floor was like a dim alley, with old light bulbs emitting weak light.
Cheng Qian almost cried when she heard Yu Yaqing's words, "We... are we going to spend the night in this kind of place? Can we survive tonight... "
"Don't worry about this." Bai Youwei said calmly, "The Duke seems to be able to kill only one person a day. When you attacked him like that just now, he just stood on the spot and fought back, holding Zhao Lanfen with the other hand until he left, without taking the initiative. To hurt you, the rules of the game must constrain him so that he can only shoot at one bride at a time."
Zhu Shu blew half of his face, and in the case of furious rage, the most ferocious attack he made was just to pick up the broken sword beside him and throw it at him.
He didn't chase after Zhu Shu, nor entangle with Su Man and Yu Yaqing, he left quickly.
… why so fast
Is it because of the speed itself, or is there another reason
"He doesn't want to be discovered by others..." Bai Youwei murmured, "Will the secret be the same as in the fairy tale?"
"Ahhh!!!"
Suddenly there was a scream, interrupting her thoughts.
Everyone was taken aback.
The screams were screaming and terrifying!
They turned their heads and looked around, but couldn't tell where the sound was coming from.
"It's Zhao Lanfen..." Cheng Qian shivered and shrank behind Yu Yaqing, "She... is she not dead..."
