Chapter 333 Secret
Just when Xia Meng was about to continue, the fat man took out a piece of cloth from his arms with trembling hands.
Xia Meng stared at him in confusion.
She looked at the piece of cloth with rough stitches and felt very familiar. After a moment, she realized that the cloth was placed next to the pillow on the bed.
There was one on each bed.
Probably because the wooden pillow was too hard, people who were not used to it could sleep on it.
But at this moment, the fat man opened the cloth layer by layer, and there was obviously something inside.
Chen Qiang, An Xuan, and Xia Meng, all three of them stared at this place, especially the latter, who seemed to want to rush up and help him open it.
Gradually, a round pearl appeared in his hands.
He held the pearl in both hands, as if he was protecting a work of art. The pearl exuded a round luster, but the only flaw was that there were some traces of fracture on one side.
It seemed that it was inlaid on a piece of jewelry before, and then it was broken.
"This is"
"She gave it to me." Without hearing Jiang Cheng stop him, the fat man looked at the maid in the painting and said slowly: "It fell when I was moving her body."
This is a sentence that is not very fluent, but at this moment, it is inexplicably convincing when it comes from the fat man's mouth.
After all, the picture in the painting will not lie.
There must be some connection between this fat man and the maid that they are not clear about.
A very close connection.
Xia Meng stared at the pearl in the fat man's hand, but she had no intention of touching it. The mission was about to end, so she had to be cautious.
She was worried that after touching the pearl, the fat man in the painting might become her.
"It looks like it fell from some jewelry." An Xuan raised his head, looked at the fat man and said: "It should be a hint left by the maid for you."
An Xuan deliberately did not use the words "little beggar" to describe the girl, just because he was worried that it would irritate the fat man.
But what he didn't know was that the latter didn't care.
In his eyes, the one who helped him, trusted him, and asked him for steamed buns was the little beggar.
After thinking for a moment, An Xuan suddenly said, "Let's go." He turned and walked towards the door. The remaining people were obviously stunned.
"Where are you going?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.
"The attic."
Jiang Cheng was the second to act. When he passed by Chen Qiang, he said.
There were many women's jewelry in Master Huang's attic, and the owner of these jewelry was obviously Xuan Ji.
The little beggar was caught and beaten to death after going to Master Huang's attic. Her body was just moved to the yard later.
I think that Housekeeper Zhou and his men did this, in addition to the intention of provoking them to take action, they also wanted to divert their attention from the attic.
After all, there are too many secrets hidden there.
An Xuan also found the real ancient book in the attic.
Moreover, the only time the ghost appeared during the day was on the bed in the attic, and Master Liao Zhi paid the price of his life for his stupid behavior.
Thinking of this, everyone no longer hesitated, and a group of people took advantage of the night and came to the vicinity of Master Huang's attic.
It was quiet here, but this kind of silence made people feel uneasy.
"Don't go through the door." Xia Meng half-crouched near the wall and whispered, "Follow me, I know a broken wall that can be climbed in."
Everyone followed her tacitly, Xia Meng walked in front, and An Xuan was at the end.
Jiang Cheng followed the fat man, all the way in silence.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, several people climbed in along the broken wall, and the sound of landing was almost negligible. An Xuan lowered his body and looked around vigilantly.
The importance of tonight to them is self-evident, either life or death.
But the same is true for Butler Zhou and others. Since they also know the importance of the attic, why didn't they leave anyone to guard it here.
He would not think it was negligence.
People who can use several years, or even longer to lay out, will not make such a low-level mistake.
The only explanation is a conspiracy.
Could the things in the attic have been taken away?
Suddenly, he felt someone touch him, turned his head, and saw a pair of sharp eyes under the moonlight, "Don't be distracted." Xia Meng said in a low voice.
Under the leadership of Jiang Cheng, several people came to the window where he and An Xuanshi Liao Zhi had climbed in before.
Everyone was worried about the area nearby, so they planned to leave a few people to guard outside and let the people who went in look for clues.
The fat man had to go in, he subconsciously looked at the doctor, who nodded.
"Be careful." Chen Qiang said softly.
The fat man carefully opened the window a crack and looked inside through the crack. The light was dim, but he could still see a little clearly.
Jiang Cheng gently came to the position of another window next to it, opened a crack, looked inside for a while, and then climbed in.
One layer was still the costumes that could be seen everywhere, only a little light shone in from the crack, the surrounding shadows were dim, and the wind occasionally lifted the costumes, as if someone was standing there.
Jiang Cheng's body suddenly paused. The fat man was near the doctor. He squatted down immediately. He didn't dare to speak, but just asked with his eyes.
After a while, Jiang Cheng retracted his gaze, shook his head slightly at the fat man, indicating that it was okay, and then raised his chin and faced the stairs.
Swallowing his saliva, the fat man tiptoed towards the stairs.
When the fat man no longer paid attention to him, Jiang Cheng's face became ugly. He turned his head and stared at the clothes rack in the middle of the first floor, and something was flowing in his eyes.
The bright red costume that was hung there before was gone.
He didn't dare tell Fatty.
This was definitely not a good thing for him.
The wooden staircase was very old, and many places where the handrails were rotten, and it made an uncontrollable creaking sound when stepped on.
In the silent night, this sound was like a death song.
The second floor, we arrived.
This place was very unfamiliar to Fatty, he had never been here before, but what Jiang Cheng didn't expect was that he was not unfamiliar with it, and seemed to have a strange sense of familiarity with it.
He pointed to a very large screen opposite and signaled the doctor with his eyes. Jiang Cheng took a deep breath. Behind the screen was the human skin drum.
Shi Liaozhi died there.
His eyes looked around a little bit, and a strange feeling fermented in Jiang Cheng's heart. It seemed that there were suddenly some special things around.
But the strange thing was that he looked around and didn't find the origin of this weird feeling.
But in the next second, Jiang Cheng was motionless, cold sweat oozed out, instantly soaking his back, and his pupils suddenly shrank into a slit.
"Seeing her building a high building, good things often go wrong, how many beauties, the wrong match of mandarin ducks. Husband and wife are destined to be together, it is difficult to force, how many happy graces will last forever?"
"How many phoenixes reward phoenixes to be together? How many purple swallows and orioles mistakenly call the waves? When we meet, we always cultivate both blessings and wisdom in life. Ask God, a moment of romance, I am afraid that I can't bear it without a share."
"If I can get a son who loves me, I will die in the same grave and live in the same house, and I will be happy to share the same grave"
A strange opera voice sounded, the waves turned, sad and resentful.
Right beside his ear.
