Chapter 464 Clues in the Study

Zhang Tuohai sat on the sofa bored.

There was no mobile phone to play, no one to chat with, not even melon seeds, which made him feel extremely bored.

From time to time, he looked at the huge grandfather clock not far away. It had been half an hour, and all the people who had left had gone without looking back, and no one had returned.

"Could it be that these people discovered something and went to explore by themselves?"

Zhang Tuohai was a little flustered.

[You can try to go to the study to get further clues. 】

The prompt system prompts.

"Yeah, I didn't restrict my activities anyway, I can also go looking for clues."

Zhang Tuohai stood up and asked the housekeeper who had been standing beside him, "Excuse me, when will the second test start?"

"When it should start, it will start naturally."

The butler said expressionlessly.

If it wasn't for the exoskeleton, Zhang Tuohai would definitely beat this guy.

Riddlers are the worst.

"Okay, so can I move freely now?"

Zhang Tuohai asked tentatively.

"Of course, you are one of the succession candidates of the will, not a prisoner, and we will not restrict your personal behavior."

"As long as it doesn't break the rules."

The butler said lightly.

"Okay, where is the study, I want to see it."

Zhang Tuohai said.

Hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, the housekeeper was slightly taken aback, and then said, "Second floor, on the left, the second door."

"Thank you."

Zhang Tuohai walked towards the second floor.

Stepping on the thick carpet to the second floor, Zhang Tuohai pushed open a wooden door following the housekeeper's instructions.

The eye is a huge study.

On the front is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the sun shines all over the ground.

There is also a huge desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there are some stationery such as pens and inks on it, but there is no half sheet of paper.

Zhang Tuohai looked left and right.

On both sides are full walls of bookshelves, and a small ladder is placed in the corner for human consumption.

Zhang Tuohai walked in and glanced at the books on the bookshelves on both sides.

The bookshelf on the left is filled with tomes of exquisite hard-shelled books. They are neatly arranged in rows and rows. At first glance, they are very impressive and full of decorative effects.

The bookshelf on the right is filled with various miscellaneous books and periodicals, from "Ali Buda" to "Treatment of Common Diseases of Bamboo Rat and 32 Practices", covering almost all categories that Zhang Tuohai can think of.

Zhang Tuohai even saw several functional novels placed in the center.

"So many books, how to find clues?"

Looking at the dense number of books, Zhang Tuohai felt that his head was a little big. With so many books, it would take a lot of time to just read the titles of the books, let alone find clues.

[It is recommended to flip through the second shelf on the left hand side, the second grid, the first book. 】

The prompt system pops up again.

Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up and he walked over immediately. According to the prompt of the game system, Zhang Tuohai found the book.

The title of the book is very simple, it is called "Red Maple Manor".

Zhang Tuohai pulled out the book, came to the desk and sat down, flipping page by page.

Zhang Tuohai found that this was a historical brief about the manor and its inhabitants.

According to the book, the manor was built 30 years ago by the Earl of Windsor himself.

The Earl of Windsor has a son and a daughter. The son's name is Jason. He is best at eating, drinking and gambling. After a drunken session, he suffered an accidental cardiac arrest and died suddenly in the servant's public bathroom on the second floor.

Daughter Ivanka is obsessed with medicine, especially likes to perform human anatomy. According to rumors, Ivanka has been studying skin replacement experiments before her death.

As a result, due to overwork and misoperation, the laboratory caught fire. When the flames were extinguished, only her scorched body was found.

The Earl of Windsor was too grief-stricken and had a serious illness.

After he recovered from his illness, the Earl of Windsor converted the laboratory into a family infirmary, and said that he had obtained an oracle to give his family property to someone who was destined, but he had to pass his test.

The story ends here, and the rest is blank.

"What is this scenario?"

After reading the contents of the book, Zhang Tuohai was stunned.

Only three characters are mentioned in the book, the old Earl of Windsor, son Jason and daughter Ivanka.

However, Jason and Ivanka are both dead, and the old Earl of Windsor is also dead, otherwise it would be impossible to leave a will.

But what about clues?

Three dead people?

What kind of clue is this?

Not a word about those bullshit tests and what follows.

Zhang Tuohai had a headache.

However, since the prompt system said that there are clues, there must be clues.

Zhang Tuohai kept flipping through the books, reading word by word, trying to find useful information.

However, after Zhang Tuohai checked it several times, there was indeed so much content inside.

Just when Zhang Tuohai felt disheartened, he suddenly thought of something.

He opened the book again and found those parts that he was more concerned about.

Jason died in the servant's shared bathroom on the second floor, while Ivanka died in the original laboratory, now the family infirmary.

If it is inferred from the supernatural novel, then there must be something dirty in these two places, and there will be the wraiths of the dead entangled there.

"However, the world I live in should be scientific, right?" Zhang Tuohai thought to himself.

However, when he thought about the talking fox, the black technology that can use the mysterious Originium to prolong his life, and all kinds of weird clockwork techniques, he was not sure.

"In short, it's better to believe it or not. It's better to keep these two places as far away as possible."

Zhang Tuohai thought to himself.

After flipping through the books again, Zhang Tuohai stood up and was about to walk around the room to find some clues. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Tuohai hurriedly inserted "Red Maple Manor" and replaced it with a copy of "How to Make a Useless Mechanical Device".

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Zhang Tuohai coughed softly: "Please come in."

It was the maid who appeared at the door.

"Mr. Butler invites you to participate in the second game project."

said the maid.

"Thank you, I'll go right now."

Zhang Tuohai followed the maid downstairs.

At this time, Garrison, Ah Zhai and Tuan Fan Nu had gathered in the hall.

However, Ah Zhai and Garrison seemed to be very familiar with each other as they were chatting and laughing.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tuohai was shocked. When did the two of them become so familiar with each other?

Formed an alliance?

However, if an alliance is formed, shouldn't it be quiet?

What are they doing so obviously?

Zhang Tuohai turned around and walked down the stairs slowly.

At this time, the butler came over with a tray.

The tray contained a Colt python, three bullets, and a die.

The butler threw out the magazine of the Colt python, filled three bullets in the order of 1 empty and 23, and then quickly turned the wheel to close the magazine.

"This game is very simple. According to the order of the dice points, everyone shoots a pistol at their own head. Those who don't die enter the next round, and those who die are automatically out."

The housekeeper said and handed the dice to Zhang Tuohai: "You are the last one to appear, so you can throw it first."
