"What do you mean? A murder of passion? Where does the passion come from? With whom?" Li Weiyan's big eyes were full of confusion.
Liu Quan glanced at him and smiled. "You are still too young and naive. Aren't there two other men in this family? Besides me and He Ping, don't forget the eldest young master and the old master."
"But doesn't the eldest young master like Xiaoliu? Then the only thing left is..." Li Weiyan said, and suddenly shut up when he saw Mu Tiao's ugly face.
If it wasn't the eldest son, then it could only be the master. There were only two living people left in the house, so it couldn't be the butler. If it was the butler, he wouldn't have said that just now. But if it was the master, then this story would be really exciting.
Mu Tiao scratched his hair. "Actually, I felt something was wrong from the beginning. Fifth Miss's room is filled with so many clothes, cosmetics, perfumes, and other things. It's not something someone her age would buy. Compared to the other young ladies, her room is obviously much more luxurious."
Before we thought about it, everyone subconsciously ignored those clues. But now that we think about it and look back, there are loopholes everywhere.
She had previously thought that perhaps the Fifth Miss was the most favored, and therefore had the best room. But thinking about it from another angle, if it was because she and the Master had an affair, that made sense.
"But there's one thing I don't understand. If there really was a relationship, wouldn't it have been revealed at night? For example, the buyer, played by He Ping, would secretly visit the eldest daughter, played by Li Weiyan, in the middle of the night. And the music teacher, played by Liu Quan, would visit the third daughter, played by Jiang Lusheng. Even last night, the relationship between the eldest young master and the youngest was revealed. But I didn't notice anything unusual from beginning to end."
Mu pinched his chin and said, "If there really was an affair, these two wouldn't have endured it forever, right?"
Zheng Mingxin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had an idea and said, "But the master was not at home before, so maybe he didn't find the opportunity. Maybe it will be your turn tonight."
No matter how you listen to it, these words are not good words. She felt that it was inappropriate as soon as she finished speaking. She looked at Mu Tiao's face and waved her hands to apologize: "I didn't mean that. I didn't curse you. I just spoke too quickly. You should understand what I want to express."
Mu Tiao nodded and said, "I know. I haven't thought about it that much. I can't rule out this possibility. If the master really comes tonight, what should I do? I can't beat him."
"Simple, just come to my room." Lan Shuang snapped her fingers and everyone immediately looked at her.
"But aren't we allowed to go out at night?" Wen Qingqing whispered.
"Silly child, the system says that we can't refuse NPCs. If we behave ourselves honestly, where would we get so many clues?" Gao Yaozu smiled.
Wen Qingqing blushed slightly, "I asked another stupid question."
"Mu Tiao, you go to my room and wait at night. If you show any abnormality, I will hold you down immediately. We will send a few more boys to wait in Mu Tiao's room. After all, you are not in the story, so you will not be affected and can remain rational. Once the master appears there, hold him down. Maybe we will get some unexpected gains." Lan Shuang said.
"That's a good idea." Li Weiyan raised his hand. "I'll do it, I'll do it! I've been feeling so pent up these past few nights. It's so frustrating. Today I'm going to avenge my previous shame!"
"It's too dangerous for you to go alone, I'll come too." Gao Yaozu also raised his hand.
"There are only five boys here. No one should be left alone at this time. Let's go together. One more person means a better chance of success. In case of any accident, we can take care of each other." After Jiang Lusheng finished speaking, he looked at the others inquiringly. Everyone was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then let's set our plan like this. When the housekeeper delivers the milk and leaves in the evening, we will act according to the plan." Lan Shuang confirmed it one last time.
"good."
…
That night, the butler arrived on time to deliver milk to everyone, smiling broadly, as if nothing had happened that morning. However, the more he did this, the more frightened people became, and the less human he seemed.
Everyone hid in their own rooms, closed the door after receiving the milk, and listened to the noise outside. After the housekeeper and the servants went downstairs and walked away, they opened the door and exchanged glances.
Mu Tiao came to Lan Shuang's room. Lan Shuang was still washing up. He poked his head out of the bathroom and said to her, "Sit on the bed for a while. I'll be right out."
"It's okay, just wash yourself. I feel at ease knowing you're in there."
The other girls hid in their rooms and locked the doors. What they had to do tonight was not to go out casually and wait until 12 o'clock to act together.
The five boys got together and had nothing to do, so they started chatting about their careers and life experiences. As they were chatting, the lights suddenly went out.
Li Weiyan asked tremblingly: "Are you still there?"
Li Weiyan had experienced too many such accidents before, and it had become a conditioned reflex.
"Everyone, don't move. Stay where you are and see what happens." Jiang Lusheng's voice sounded from the darkness. Li Weiyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the hand of the person next to him.
"Then let's hold hands, so that if the person next to us is gone, we can find out immediately."
"That's a good suggestion." Liu Quan immediately grabbed his hand.
We were all men, so there was no need to be shy. We grabbed each other and soon formed a circle.
"Fortunately, everyone is here. It may be a circuit problem, or the story may have happened somewhere else. Let's wait for a while." Jiang Lusheng said calmly.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.
…
Lan Shuang was washing her face when the lights suddenly went out. She quickly wiped her face and when she looked up, she saw another person in the mirror.
The room was pitch black, but the mirror was green, which was particularly eye-catching.
888: "Ahhhh why is it her again?"
It was a girl who looked exactly like her. She had just seen her during the day. Although she was startled, Lan Shuang quickly reacted. She looked at the person in the mirror and asked, "You came to see me, do you have something to say?"
The person in the mirror didn't answer, but just stared at Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang suddenly remembered Mu Tiao in the bedroom and quickly called out, "Mu Tiao, are you still there?"
"I'm here." Mu Tiao responded.
Then Lan Shuang heard footsteps approaching the bathroom.
She subconsciously went to open the door, her hand still dripping with water. When the water was about to fall on the door handle, Lan Shuang suddenly stopped.
No, she was afraid that Mu Tiao would be scared in the bedroom, so she didn’t close the bathroom door. What’s going on with this door now?
Who closed the door?
