Chapter 977 My Request May Be a Little Strange
Now they understood what the mustache said. Indeed, the scene in front of them did not seem to be something that humans could do, but some kind of large beast. Google search reading
But how could a beast appear here?
"Did you find his upper body?" Jiang Cheng turned his head and asked.
"No." The mustache covered his nose. The pungent smell in the house made him nauseous. He said in a muffled voice: "We have looked all over this area, but nothing, but..."
"But what?" Huai Yi couldn't help but urge.
The mustache cast his eyes on the desk and motioned the three of them to look for themselves. Jiang Cheng noticed a piece of paper on the table at a glance. There was a man drawn on the paper.
He was familiar with this painting because he drew it. The man was Halson.
But now in Halson's hand, there was still the upper body of a man. The man's face was distorted, and he seemed to have been greatly frightened before his death. It was the mayor they met yesterday!
"Yes... It's the mayor." The fat man looked at the painting and felt a chill in his heart.
The mayor's missing upper body actually appeared in the painting. This strange way of killing was more frightening than the incomplete corpse. Jiang Cheng seemed to have thought of something. He immediately took the painting left by the psychic from the fat man and unfolded it on the desk without any hesitation. As his finger pointed, the fat man Huai Yi couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
In the room that shouldn't exist, through the window, you can see the densely packed corpses piled up inside, and only half of the corpse on the top is left.
Upper body.
The mayor's incomplete corpse was also brought into the house.
"You...what are you looking at?" The little mustache came up and stared at the painting for a long time, but he couldn't see anything. But strangely, Jiang Cheng and the other two seemed to have discovered something very scary.
The fat man pointed to the window and said, "Look carefully, the top... the half of the body on the top, isn't it..."
"What do you want me to see?" Before the fat man finished speaking, the little mustache looked at him with a strange face, puzzled, "Isn't that the background of the painting, the gray sky." He added.
Now the three of them understood that the strangeness of this painting was only visible to them, or to those who were cursed.
Jiang Cheng put away the painting, and took away the painting he drew, turned to the little mustache and said, "You can see that the mayor was killed by the original owner of the Dakorosa Manor, and it has nothing to do with us."
"Nothing else, we are leaving."
Now every second of time is precious. Since the mayor can no longer provide them with clues, there is no reason for them to waste time here. Jiang Cheng turned around and took the two away.
"Wait!" The mustache stopped them, "I know what happened here has nothing to do with you, but I didn't ask you to come here just to investigate the cause of the mayor's death, someone wants to see you."
After a pause, the mustache continued: "The information this person has may be helpful to you."
After that, the mustache took Jiang Cheng and the other two to a room downstairs, opened the door, and a woman stood by the window inside. The woman was a bit older and her hair was gray.
Gu Xia
The woman seemed to be in pain, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Jiang Cheng and the others come in, the woman introduced herself as the mayor's daughter, and this time she came to them on her own, she knew that her father's death was related to the curse of the manor.
"Please accept my condolences." After a moment, Jiang Cheng looked at the woman and asked directly: "Since you know that your father's death is related to the curse, what do you want to do by finding us?"
"It's like this. When I was sorting out my father's belongings this morning, I found a wooden box with a letter in it. There were some words written on the envelope in my father's handwriting. He said that if he died strangely one day, it must be because of the curse of the manor. He wanted to find the person who wrote this letter and give it to other people who were cursed. He also said that there was a way to break the curse hidden in it." The woman said solemnly.
After the woman finished speaking, she took out a wooden box, held it in both hands, and handed it over very solemnly.
The fat man saw that Jiang Cheng didn't move, and consciously prepared to take the wooden box, but he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to reach out to stop him, and then looked at the woman and the box with a strange look.
"What are you doing?" The woman looked puzzled.
"We talked to your father for a long time yesterday, and he didn't mention the letter. I can't figure out why?" Jiang Cheng did not hide his suspicion of the woman.
Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, the fat man looked at the woman with a strange look, as if he had already determined that the other party was a ghost in disguise.
The woman shook her head and said hoarsely: "I haven't read the letter. My father may have his own plans. I don't know about this."
"In this case, can you open the box yourself and hand it to us?" Jiang Cheng asked.
The woman opened the box and there was indeed a letter inside.
"I'm sorry, my request may be a little strange." Jiang Cheng's vigilance on his face still did not disappear. He continued in a polite tone: "Can you please open the envelope too?"
The woman said nothing, opened the envelope, poured out the letter inside, and then took the letter and asked: "Do you still need me to read it to you?"
There was no dissatisfaction on the woman's face. Her father's death had made her numb. In her heart, there was nothing more important than breaking the curse and avenging her father.
The curse of Dakorosa Manor is like a fog that will never dissipate. It always shrouds this town, and everyone living in the town is tortured by it.
"No trouble." Jiang Cheng reached out to take the letter and nodded apologetically to the woman, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood, but please understand that something like this just happened and we have to be vigilant."
"I have delivered the letter. I still have things to do. My father's body is still in the office." The woman stood up and looked at the three people in Jiang Cheng. "I'll leave the rest to you."
The woman's expression was stiff, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness in her eyebrows. Jiang Cheng could feel that the woman didn't have much hope that they could break the curse. She only wanted to help her father fulfill his wish.
After the woman left, Jiang Cheng opened the letter. There was not much content in the letter, but it was very useful to them. These were all clues collected by the mayor through various means.
After reading this, Jiang Cheng also solved his previous doubts. Fatty and Huaiyi even had a better view of the mayor who seemed to be honest and kind.
"No wonder he didn't take out this letter right away. It turned out that he had this plan." The fat man gritted his teeth in hatred, "He wanted to find an opportunity to try to replace Halson and become the new owner of Dacorosa Manor!"
"This way you can live forever and achieve eternal life!"
