Chapter 596: Strange
There was a light in front of the building. They observed for a long time before they finally confirmed that there was no one nearby.
But out of caution, everyone consciously did not choose to enter from the main gate. After all, what they wanted to do was to inquire.
Inquire in secret.
If possible, they would not even touch the edge of the light in front of the door. Those lights were still on, giving everyone a very bad premonition.
In the end, it was Luo He who led the way. The group made a big circle before avoiding the lights and coming to a remote location behind the building.
This is a blind spot near the building and it will hardly be noticed.
On the way, Chen Qiang stared at Luo He's back, his expression became more and more strange. This man seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in Feng Mansion, otherwise how could he find here in the dark all the way.
Unless his eyes can see through the darkness, but this is too far-fetched.
"Look." Pi Ruan's sudden voice interrupted Chen Qiang's thoughts. He turned his head and looked in the direction indicated by Pi Ruan.
There was a half-closed window there, and the window was still the old-fashioned wooden window.
The window frame had already decayed a little, perhaps because it was not noticeable or important, so no one repaired it.
But what really attracted everyone's attention was the light that was faintly visible through the gap in the window.
It was red.
Something seemed to be emitting a dark red light inside the window.
"Red light." Huai Yi frowned, but his voice was very low, "What is it?"
"It can't be a good thing anyway." Chen Qiang continued, staring at the window, his eyes never leaving for a moment.
A figure flashed before their eyes, and in the surprised sight of several people, a thin body walked to the window first, then stretched out a hand and slowly opened the window.
It was Fu Fu, who was doing all this and looked completely different from the little girl she used to be.
As the window opened a little bit, the red light gradually came out.
But strangely, the light was not strong, and even became weaker as the window opened.
Several people looked at each other, and then walked over with very light steps.
Through the window, everyone saw that the red light was emitted from the top of the stairs not far away. When it reached them, there was only a little bit left. If it wasn't too dark, it would probably be ignored.
Luo He motioned everyone to gather around, "The thing that emits the red light is upstairs, but after we go in, we will search the first floor first, and then go upstairs together."
Everyone understood what Luo He meant. He was worried that the red light was a bait, and the real murder was ambushed on the first floor. After they went up to the second floor, they would cut off their retreat.
It was the right choice to go upstairs after eliminating all hidden dangers.
Fu Fu was still the first person to climb into the western-style building, through the window that was opened before.
What surprised everyone was that Luo He not only did not stop Fu Fu's reckless behavior, but also condoned it.
Could it be that they were not companions, or the relationship between the two was not as good as imagined?
About half a minute later, Fu Fu's face returned to the window again, "No problem." She nodded and said, her carefully carved little face was full of seriousness, with a taste of pretending to be mature.
Then, everyone climbed into the Feng family's western-style building one by one.
The moment they landed, everyone suddenly felt like they were falling into an ice cave.
A window separated them, as if they were in two different worlds.
Luo He was the last one, and after he landed, he did something that shocked everyone.
He closed the open window.
That was their way out!
As soon as their eyes met, Luo He understood everyone's dissatisfaction, and said in a very light but not unconfident tone: "The atmosphere in this western-style building is not right. If the window is left open, it is likely to alarm the things in the building over time."
Unconsciously, everyone has accepted the hypothesis that there is something wrong with the western-style building, or even a ghost.
Looking around, they are now in a warehouse.
The area is about 20 square meters, and it is full of firewood for cooking, as well as several large black pots.
The firewood was neatly stacked together. Chen Qiang walked over, squatted down, touched it with his fingers, and felt wet at his fingertips.
As expected
Chen Qiang paused, slowly stood up, and retracted his gaze from the firewood, "The firewood is already damp, it will be troublesome to use such firewood to burn."
"What do you mean?"
"This should be the place where the Feng family cooks, but it seems that they haven't eaten here for a long time." Chen Qiang replied.
They had been to the restaurant where the Feng family's servants ate before, so the difference between the two was obvious.
There was a completely open door on the right side of the warehouse, through which you could see the scene outside.
It was a large living room with a complete set of sofas and a long table that could accommodate more than ten people dining at the same time.
There were some things vaguely placed on the table, emitting a cold light.
Through identification, it was several sets of silver tableware, including silver chopsticks, silver plates, knives and forks, etc. In addition, there were two silver candlesticks.
No candles were seen, and the candlesticks were covered with dark red candle tears, which had solidified, like drops of blood and tears.
Similarly, they did not see anyone.
After thinking for a moment, Luo He was the first to walk out of the warehouse where firewood was stored.
The first floor was larger than they thought, but they were all functional rooms, such as the living room, warehouse, kitchen. They even found a game room for children to play.
The only thing that made them uneasy was that no matter which room they were in, they could find some mysterious spells and stickers.
Most of them were yellow paper, and then pictures were drawn with red and black pens.
They were all some incomprehensible words and pictures, but by connecting the previous and subsequent events, it was not difficult to guess that they were all asked by the Feng family to ask for help from a master.
The purpose was to pray for blessings and exorcise ghosts.
Finally, after searching the entire first floor, they came to the stairs leading to the second floor.
A faint red light splashed down the stairs.
The luxurious and old wooden stairs seemed to be splashed with a bucket of blood.
The blood was dim, but the uneasiness hidden in everyone's heart began to ferment.
"Go up and take a look." Luo He said, and then he added, "Be careful, don't touch things that you shouldn't touch, and notify others as soon as you find something abnormal."
"Especially don't scream or talk loudly!" The last sentence was added by Chen Qiang.
Luo He glanced at him and said nothing.
Fortunately, the situation was better than expected. The shoes did not make the unbearable creaking sound when they stepped on the old wooden stairs.
Only halfway through, everyone stopped suddenly. The scene in front of them made everyone stunned at first, and then their pupils trembled violently.
Going up to the second floor, facing a corridor, there were two bright red lanterns hanging in the corridor.
Like a pair of malicious eyes, staring at the living people approaching.
