Chapter 104 Destined Death (Please Subscribe for a Monthly Ticket)
Tang Qiaoyu comforted him: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Her voice was unhurried and seemed to have a special appeal.
Hansa nodded.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Actually, things happened half a month ago. Let's talk as we go."
Hansa asked Scarface a few questions, and then led Zhu Zheng and others towards the second floor.
Soon, they came to a utility room.
It is said to be a utility room, but it was actually transformed into a dance studio.
There is a gray mat on the floor, a floor-to-ceiling mirror on the south wall, and leg press bars, yoga mats and other equipment in the corner of the room.
"This was originally the lady's dance studio. After the lady moved out, it was left unused and has been used to store debris."
Hansa explained.
Zhu Zheng pushed the door open and walked into the room, seeing a line of red writing scrawled on the floor-length mirror.
[Mogu, hanged himself in the bedroom at nine o'clock tonight. 】
"Is this a death prophecy?"
Zhu Zheng walked over and inspected it carefully.
The red writing looked like it was written in blood, but it didn't smell like blood.
Moreover, Zhu Zheng also discovered that the writing was very dark, as if it was seeping out of the mirror.
Butler Hansa spoke.
"This is the prophecy of death, it only appears in the mirror."
"The letter in blood predicts the time and manner of death, or to put it another way, it is a curse that will surely lead to death."
"The first time the word "blood" appeared was half a month ago. In the mirror of the guest bathroom on the first floor, the name of a maid was mentioned, saying that the maid would drown in the artificial lake next to the villa at one o'clock in the morning. .”
Hansa suddenly paused, as if recalling something that made him nervous.
Zhu Zheng asked softly: "Then at 1 o'clock in the morning, the maid drowned in the artificial lake?"
Hansa licked his chapped lips, and his voice became hoarse.
"We thought it was a prank because the maid had left her job a week ago, but the next morning someone found the maid's body floating on the artificial lake."
"And the forensic doctor speculated that she died around 1 a.m...."
"We are scared because this is completely impossible. No one knows how the maid returned to the floating island."
Zhu Zheng frowned tightly and continued to ask: "Then what?"
"We called the police and removed the mirror and handed it to the police. While we were waiting for the results of the police investigation, the word blood appeared again."
"This time it appeared in the mirror in the study on the third floor, predicting that a certain servant would die from myocardial infarction. As a result, at noon that day, with everyone watching, the servant actually died of cardiac arrest."
"Just the way Scarlet Mentioned it."
"Counting the word "blood" has appeared six times this time, someone will die every time. This is the reason why many servants have left their jobs."
The room fell silent.
At this time, Zhu Zheng faintly heard sobbing.
He turned around to check and found a thin young man sitting slumped beside the door.
The young man covered his face with his hands, his body twitched from time to time, and sobs came from his palms.
"He is Mogu."
Hansa sighed.
No one knows how many times the word "blood" will appear again, and whose name will be written next time.
Han Sa looked at Zhu Zheng and others and made an urgent plea.
"You are all capable people, can you help us solve this matter?"
There was no immediate answer, Zhu Zheng and others walked to the side to discuss in low voices.
Si Guo was the oldest among them and he was the first to speak.
"I think we should investigate the secret of the death prophecy, and figure out its rules no matter what."
Lei didn't want to cause trouble.
"Why bother? Our mission is just to protect Robert."
"What if Robert's name appears in a death prophecy?"
Si Guo asked back.
Lei was speechless.
He hesitated for a while, then muttered in a low voice, "If something like this really happens, we won't have time to deal with it."
"It's too late."
Zhu Zheng shook his head.
He agreed with Si Guo's point of view and felt that problems should be nipped in the bud.
Tang Qiaoyu also echoed beside him.
With five votes in favor and one abstention, the resolution was passed.
Si Guo continued: "We can be divided into two groups, one group is responsible for protecting Robert, and the other group is responsible for investigating the death prophecy, so that there is no delay for both of them."
Everyone agrees with this view.
After consultation, it was finally decided that Zhu Zheng and Lao Dao Anna would be responsible for protecting Robert, while Si Guo would lead the remaining two people to investigate the death prophecy.
When voting on the grouping, Si Guo glanced at Anna with some worry.
"Can you guys do that?"
Anna touched the rabbit doll and bit the little tiger teeth.
Zhu Zheng quickly patted Anna's little head to comfort her.
If one person is reduced internally before the enemy appears, it will be great fun.
And Si Guo has no ill intentions.
Zhu Zheng said: "Don't worry, we are totally fine."
Seeing Zhu Zheng's serious expression, Si Guo stopped saying anything.
After the discussion was completed, several people called Hansa over and expressed their willingness to help.
Hansa felt relieved and continued to familiarize everyone with the villa.
The Floating Island Villa has a total of four floors, three above ground and one underground, with a total of more than ten rooms, large and small.
After getting familiar with the environment, the two groups acted separately.
Robert's room is located at the end of the corridor on the second floor.
The views are excellent, with south-facing windows overlooking the gardens.
Zhu Zheng walked around the bedroom and began to prepare.
He ordered Hansa to arrange a simple bed in Robert's bedroom.
This is for them to take turns to rest during their vigil.
While they were busy, Si Guo and others also started to take action.
Through mobile phone contact, Zhu Zheng also learned about their plan.
There are many surveillance cameras installed in the villa, which are distributed in public areas such as living rooms and corridors.
There happened to be one in the utility room.
They plan to check the surveillance and investigate from the source of the appearance of the word "blood".
Zhu Zheng said through his mobile phone: "I wish you good luck and hope to find useful clues."
"Thank you." Si Guo's voice came from the mobile phone, "Keep in touch and call us anytime if you need anything."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Zheng looked at Lao Dao and Anna.
"It's up to us tonight."
Night came in a blink of an eye.
The two groups met at dinner and exchanged information.
Si Guo and the others watched the video for a long time and found no suspicious characters entering or leaving the utility room.
Moreover, during the surveillance, the bloody writing in the utility room mirror appeared on its own.
"The words in blood say that Mogu will hang himself. We plan to keep a close eye on him until the end of the allotted time."
Si Guo proposed a second plan.
Zhu Zheng nodded. If the law of certain death can be broken, it will also be helpful to explore the death prophecy.
Robert was old. After breakfast, he went straight to his room to rest, and fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Zhu Zheng also went back and stayed in the bedroom all night.
It was night, except that Robert's brows were furrowed and his face was pale, nothing unusual happened.
And when it was daytime the next day, Zhu Zheng heard bad news.
Mogu is dead.
