Chapter 434 The Manor's Secret Base (please subscribe, please subscribe!!)
This inheritance condition is very strange.

but……

This is the Federation, and there have been even more bizarre inheritance conditions than this. At least, Alexis didn't need to run naked around the street naked to inherit this manor.

So a few people have no reason to think about other aspects.

Five in the morning.

Baker opened his eyes, walked out of the tent, and looked thoughtfully at Richard, who was bare-chested and had a furry figure who seemed to be walking into the depths of the main hall, and smacked his lips.

Sleepwalking?

Never heard of it.

"what happened?"

"..."

Baker glanced back and seemed to realize that he was not there, or Barbara who was woken up because of the movement of getting up, pointed to Richard who was about to disappear from sight over there.

Barbara looked: "Sleepwalking?"

Baker shrugged: "Maybe, I'll go and see."

Barbara didn't stop her either. Anyway, the Lord of Hell on Earth is already her man's younger brother. On this Earth, there is nothing that can hurt him, but: "Then be careful."

Baker laughed, and chased after Richard who was about to disappear in the corridor leading to the side hall of the manor.

only……

"Boom!"

When Baker caught up with Richard, and before he had time to do anything, there was a bang, and Richard, who was walking in front, slammed down on the corridor full of dust and garbage before he had time to clean it.

Baker blinked.

After half an hour.

Richard Castle, who wrapped a water bag in a towel and applied his forehead, sat on the sofa and grinned for a while. After all, his posture just now was lying on the front.

The forehead is swollen.

The nose is red.

Kate Beckett and Alexis meet each other.

"Your dad can sleepwalk?"

"Maybe it was my responsibility before, but now he is your boyfriend, don't you know if your boyfriend is sleepwalking or not?"

"It didn't happen when I slept there."

"Not when he's at home anyway."

"New problem?"

"Maybe."

Richard looked at his girlfriend and daughter who were singing and posing as a doctor to give him a diagnosis, and couldn't help but said, "Hey, hey, I haven't sleepwalked since I was a child."

Done.

Richard wailed twice, rubbed his bulging cheeks, and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, this manor is very strange."

Barbara looked at Baker who came back from the side hall not far away: "Did you find anything?"

Baker shook his head.

Again.

In an old house, and it was built near the cemetery of a group of violently dead people, it is normal to have some free dark energy in it.

Anyway, Baker didn't feel any traces of demons here.

After a while.

Especially when Richard was sleepwalking, everyone didn't have any desire to sleep, so they tidied up a little, and once again devoted themselves to the work of helping to clean the manor.

Although Alexis hasn't decided whether to accept the inheritance here, everyone is going to live here for a while after all, so it's over.

The building of Rogers Manor is a combination of a main building and an auxiliary building. The main building is five stories high and the auxiliary building is three stories high. It is a typical American manor building.

The fifth floor of the main building.

Baker directly called two or three demons from hell to help him clean up the sanitation on this floor, and he went to the large bedroom on the fifth floor.

The large bedroom is also a dilapidated sight with dust and cobwebs everywhere.

obviously.

Either that Mr. Clive Rogers is too lazy, or that Mr. Clive Rogers has no time to take care of his living environment because of something in the manor.

Baker leans more towards the former.

reason?

Clive Rogers was a bachelor, and an old bachelor at that. If he paid a little attention to hygiene, the existence of such a manor must have a girl's reason behind him.

Of course.

The second possibility is not that Baker has never thought about it. Just now, Baker went to the side building and walked around, but he did not find anything unusual.

Boom boom boom!
Baker turned around, and almost as soon as a few cleaning demons disappeared, Richard who was cleaning on the fourth floor ran up and spread his hands: "Okay, I give up."

Baker smiled and said, "Give up?"

Richard said: "Yes, I have already called the cleaning company, and they promised to send a special cleaner to come in an hour and a half."

Baker smiled.

The phone rings.

Richard made an apologetic gesture to Baker and connected the phone. Three seconds later, Richard raised his tone: "What do you mean you don't accept this order?"

Baker looked up.

The call seemed to be from the cleaning company, and it seemed that the cleaning company was unwilling to accept Richard's commission.

Interesting, a professional company will choose to refuse when there is an order.

Richard is definitely not willing to clean up by himself. If this continues to clean up, I am afraid that he is not here for vacation and adventure, but as a volunteer, so Richard resorted to his own big trick.

money offensive.

When the hourly cleaning fee was directly raised to [-] dollars, the cleaning company over there finally let go and said reluctantly that they accepted the order.

quite a while.

Richard who hung up the phone said a little speechlessly: "This is why I like being in New York."

The implication of this sentence is that New Jersey is a country, and country people are used to pitting outsiders. Richard thought that the cleaning company was treating him like a little sheep.

Baker thought for a while and said, "I think they might just be scared."

The Rogers family is a famous family here. Of course, this famous name is evil. After all, within 100 years, all the direct males of the Rogers family have been GG.

after an hour.

Two vans with the LOGO of a cleaning company drove into the Rogers Manor, and the faces of the ten cleaners who got off the van were barely filled with words that they came here only because of the good salary.

Moreover, the cleaners who came down made a request to Richard, the employer this time, that they would leave here before three o'clock in the afternoon, regardless of whether the sanitation was cleaned or not.

Richard's eyebrows fluttered, but he nodded considering that this was indeed the only cleaning company willing to come over.

Seeing this, the cleaner couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then revealed to Richard: "Mr. Casol, frankly speaking, apart from us, no one would dare to accept your commission to come here. Cleaned up."

Richard was very sarcastic: "Then you are really timid."

The cleaner frowned: "Mr. Casol, I'm afraid you don't know that in the past 15 years, at least 35 young people have disappeared in the small town outside the manor, right?"

"Does this have anything to do with this place?"

"Through investigation, the police found that the biggest commonality among these 35 young people is that they had visited this manor within 48 hours before their disappearance."

"..."

The cleaner looked at Richard, who seemed to know the news for the first time, and didn't say anything, but turned around and started distributing tasks to his employees.

After all, the salary of $[-] an hour is a lot. Even if it is three o'clock in the afternoon, if you count from now on, you will have an income of almost $[-].

Baker, who was next to him, raised his eyebrows when he heard what the cleaner said, and said to Barbara next to him, "Can you find out what this person said about the case?"

Barbara nodded and took out her phone.

After a while.

The town's electronic missing persons list was sent by Agent Daisy Johnson.

Huh.

The number of missing people is really the same as the cleaner said just now, no more, no less, exactly 35 people, and the missing ages are all concentrated in the 25-year-old range.

Alexis, who came over, was a little suspicious: "Does the local police station not care about it?"

"There is no body, no case, only disappearance."

Officer Kate Beckett said to Alexis from the side: "Actually, the police station in the small town can do such a detailed disappearance investigation, which is more than 90.00% of the small towns in the Federation."

The number of unsolved missing cases in the Federation dares to say that it is second, and no country dares to say that it is the first.

Most of the small-town police stations would not initiate an investigation into these cases where neither the living nor the dead were alive. They would just stamp the file and leave it to fate.

at this time.

When the cleaner who led the team entered the main building to prepare for the cleaning work, he turned to Richard and said, "By the way, Mr. Casol, we are not responsible for cleaning the basement either. go down."

"basement?"

Richard was taken aback for a moment, nodded, and then looked at Alexis: "Is there a basement in the manor?"

Alexis took off his backpack, found the documents handed over by the lawyer at the time, opened the design drawing of the manor, looked at it, and then shook his head: "There is no basement above."

Baker looked at the cleaner: "Do you know the entrance to the basement?"

The cleaner smiled: "Of course, there are two disappearance cases that I was in charge of investigating when I was a police officer."

Baker: "..."

A former police officer who is now a cleaner?

Baker doesn't think it's magical at all. After all, the police officers of the New York Police Department need to rely on fundraising dinners to raise wages before the fortune of Baker, a big benefactor. A police officer in a small town resigned because of salary issues It is a normal thing to become a more promising cleaner.

After a while.

The cleaner police officer led Baker and others to the lobby of the annex building, and then tapped twice on the fireplace in the annex hall with ease. With a dull sound, the fireplace instantly split into two.

There really is a basement.

Baker raised his eyebrows. He also checked the side hall just now, but he didn't find any secret passages.

at the moment?
