Sin Love Angel Chenxi Chapter

Chapter 60 Angel's Puzzle 04 Ancient House and Medicine

When the butler brought Angel and the others to the small theater, he saw two people inside, a man and a woman.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, wearing glasses, with a medium build and slightly fatter body, bearded, and thinning hair.

The woman was young, in her early twenties, with blond hair in a ponytail, wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, like a college student.

"They are assistants." The manager introduced, "Karvin and Lily."

"Aren't there three assistants?" Oss asked.

The manager also asked the two of them in a puzzled manner, "Where's Phil?"

"I don't know. After lunch, he said he was going out for a walk, but he hasn't come back yet." Lily replied, "I called him and he didn't answer."

The broker frowned.

Angel didn't care much about these two assistants. He walked onto the stage of the small theater and saw that the stage was still the same as it was when Claire disappeared, and a painting was placed in the center of the stage.

Angel took a closer look at the oil painting.

At this time, I heard a voice, "Don't get so close, be careful that you'll be shot in too."

Angel looked up, and saw a man with short brown hair walking in from the back of the stage. He looked to be in his 20s, tall and thin, with a lot of freckles on his face, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans.

The agent told everyone, "He is Phil."

Angel walked to the back of the oil painting and looked at the shelf where the oil painting was placed.

"It's just a mechanism." Phil said, motioning Angel to take two steps back.

Angel took two steps back.

Phil pulled a handle next to the stage... and saw that oil painting suddenly fell down, and another one rose up.

"Is it controlled manually?" Angel seemed very interested in this device.

"It's all handmade, all manual control, everything is mechanical, there are no modern electronic products, and there is no network." Phil smiled slightly, "No matter how good a hacker is, they can't do anything to this device!"

Angel glanced at him, then looked at the tablet computer in his hand, and said slowly, "You mean, anyone who wants to do tricks can only do it manually at close range?"

Phil shrugged.

"In other words, who were nearby at the time of the magic show?" Oss looked at the crowd.

The manager frowned, while the butler glanced at the three assistants present.

"Compared to this, I am more interested in this building." Angel walked to the back of the stage with his hands behind his back, "Can I go down and have a look?"

"Yes." The butler came over and led Angel the way.

Mo Fei said, "We can just go and see for ourselves."

But the housekeeper shook his head, "The ancient house is very large, and it is easy to get lost without an acquaintance leading the way. In addition, some organs have been damaged, and it may cause danger if accidentally triggered."

Mo Fei frowned slightly and looked at Angel.

Angel signaled—the butler led the way.

Mo Xiao also sauntered to follow, Oss stood on the stage scratching his head—hey, hey!What about the case?Don't patronize to visit!

Angel doesn't know what the descendants of the Claire family are like, but the founder of the family, Claire I, is indeed quite a remarkable person, who can be called a master of tricks and mechanisms.

The housekeeper, Jos, knew the institutions of the family very well, and introduced them to Angel one by one.However, the steward also emphasized to Angel that there are many agencies that he is not aware of.In addition, the Claire family has gone through a hundred years. It is said that the family has quite a lot of inheritance and countless treasures, but so far only a small part has been found. There are many legendary secret rooms that have not been found.

In the end, they came to the most central location of the mansion, which was a rather old but luxurious study room.

A huge oil portrait of Clare I is displayed in the study.

Angel stood in front of the portrait and looked up.

"This is the study of the founder of the Clare family." The housekeeper said, "The young master seldom comes here, because this room is dangerous."

"Danger?" Mo Fei wondered, what danger is there in the room?

At this time, Mo Xiao stood in front of a cabinet, and seemed to be very interested in the bottles and cans inside, "What are these? Are they old medicine bottles? Or wine bottles and perfume bottles?"

"Don't touch it!" The housekeeper stopped the curious Mo Xiao, "This room is at the center of gravity of the old house, and it is called the keyhole of this mansion!"

"Keyhole?" Mo Fei was puzzled.

"That is to say, all the organs of this ancient house can be triggered through some special devices in this room, and they can also be closed from here... In addition, these bottles and jars are the treasures of Claire I."

"Wine?" Mo Xiao asked.

"It's poison." The butler replied calmly.

"Poison?" Mo Xiao originally stretched out his hand to open the window, but he was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.

"There are many rare and treasured poisons here! There are dozens of colorless and odorless drugs that can kill people instantly." The housekeeper said, "Master is quite obsessed with poisons!"

"Has he ever used it?" Angel asked.

The butler shook his head, "Then I don't know. After all, it happened more than a century ago. There are poisons and antidotes here, but there are no labels on the medicine bottles! So no one dares to touch these medicine bottles. It's also locked."

Angor nodded.

After the visit, the butler asked everyone to leave the room and return to the living room.

When walking down the spiral staircase in the middle, the butler asked Angel, "With all due respect, do you have any clues about my young master?"

Angel asked back with a half-smile, "Isn't he in that painting?"

The butler looked at Angel helplessly.

Downstairs, by the sofa, Oss was waiting anxiously.

Angor's interest seemed to have dropped, and he asked Mo Fei, "What time is it?"

Mo Fei looked at the time, "It's three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Did a leaflet be stuffed at the entrance of the gallery yesterday?" Angel continued to ask.

"Yeah." Mo Fei nodded, "It's a French restaurant that has become very popular recently."

"Oh!" Oss leaned over, "Is it that restaurant called 'Red'? It's very popular recently! I heard it's expensive but the food is great."

"Shall we go there for dinner tonight?" Angel proposed.

Mo Fei nodded.

Oss rubbed his hands together, "Okay... but what!" He said, grabbing Angel's shoulders with both hands and shaking them vigorously, "Case, case! Now is not the time to eat!"

"There is no case at all." Angel reached out and patted Oss's hand.

"Ah?" Oss rubbed his hands in confusion, "Then... where's the magic young master?"

"he is……"

Before Angel finished speaking, he heard a flurry of footsteps, and then a servant appeared at the door and shouted at the butler, "Mr. William has an accident!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and after a moment of reaction, they realized that this William was referring to the manager.

"What happened?" Seeing the servant's expression, Oss felt that it should be something bad.

Angel also frowned slightly.

The butler followed the servant and ran to the back, and Oss also ran.

Mo Fei walked up to Angel and asked, "Angel?"

Angel touched his chin lightly, and there was a rare look of doubt in his eyes. Obviously, the development of the matter exceeded his expectations.

Everyone followed the servant together, and when they arrived at the theater behind, they saw a person kneeling on the stage.

"Hey!" Mo Xiao was surprised, "No way..."

At this moment, in the middle of the stage, next to the weird famous painting, Claire's manager William knelt there in a distorted posture. There was blood, his hands were stiff and claw-shaped, and he was scratching his neck. There were clear scratches on his neck. His whole body was twisting, as if he lost his life in a moment of painful struggle.

Judging from this strange appearance of death, even a person without professional knowledge in pharmacology would guess that he died of poisoning.

The butler opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.

Oss ran onto the stage, looked closely, and frowned, "He's dead."

"Oss."

At this time, Angel said, "Be careful where your feet are."

Oss was taken aback for a moment, lowered his head, and saw a small purple glass bottle lying not far from his feet.The glass bottle is very delicate, purple, and there are gold embellishments around the bottle body, forming the shape of a peacock's tail. The glass bottle is opened, lying flat on the ground, and some liquid flows out, forming a shape on the wooden floor under the bottle mouth. There was a small circular wet mark seeping into the board.And the bottle cap fell in the distance, because the bottle cap is a cylindrical glass stopper, so it may have rolled over...

"This is..." Mo Fei frowned. He thought of the glass cabinets displaying poisons in Clare I's study just now. This medicine bottle is undoubtedly one of the many collections, so did William die of poisoning?

Oss stared at the sky speechlessly—the kidnapping case instantly escalated into a murder case!

Just at this moment, there were footsteps, and Claire's three assistants all ran over, and they were also surprised to see this scene.

"How could this be?" Lily was surprised.

Oss asked, "Where were the three of you just now?"

Lily said, "I'm resting in my room."

"I made a phone call in the hallway," Carvin said.

Phil, "I'm in the studio."

"How did this happen?" Calvin was puzzled. "I just saw that William was fine. He said he had to go back to the city and he had other things to do, so he didn't have time to mess around with Claire."

"Nonsense?" Oss was puzzled, "What do you mean? Isn't Claire missing?"

Lily spread her hands, "Claire sometimes plays pranks and disappears suddenly. Although this time is a bit exaggerated, to be honest, we all think he just skipped work and went out to have a good time."

Phil also nodded, "If it wasn't for Josi's insistence on calling the police, no one would care. He'll be back in a few days."

Os looks after the housekeeper.

The butler shook his head, "Although the young master is a bit playful, this has never happened before!"

"Let's do a quick quiz." Angel suddenly asked the three assistants, "If someone wants to kill William, who is the first person you think of who might do it?"

All three were taken aback.

"You talk first." Angel pointed to Calvin.

Calvin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Claire."

"What about you?" Angel asked Lily.

Lily said, "Claire."

Angel looked at Phil again.

Phil spread his hands, "Claire."

"Why do you doubt him?" Mo Fei was puzzled.

Lily said, "Claire has had enough of William a long time ago, and has always wanted to drive him away. William claims to be Claire's discoverer, and secretly took a lot of benefits from his performance income. They quarreled many times over trivial matters. Claire also once said that she would personally kill the parasite William."

Angor raised his eyebrows slightly, and his focus was rather biased, "As a second generation, Claire actually said that others are parasites?"

"Who has those bookcase keys?" Oss asked the butler.

The butler hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young master has it."

Oss frowned.

"Could it be that Claire came to murder William under the guise of disappearing?" Lily was nervous.

Oss looked at Angel.

Angel shook his head, "He should have an alibi."

Everyone was surprised, "Where is he?"

Angel pointed to the painting, "Isn't it in the painting?"

Austin looked up to the sky.

Mo Fei looked at Angor—Angel clearly planned to leave just now, and he also said that there was no kidnapping case, indicating that he already knew that Claire was there.But……

"Let's call the forensic doctor first." Oss asked the two police officers to call someone, but the two police officers shook their heads mournfully, "It may be a bit difficult."

"What do you mean?"

Oss was puzzled, followed the two police officers to the door, and was taken aback.

It was raining heavily outside at this time, and the sound insulation of the old house was so good that no one knew when the storm started outside.

Oss took out his mobile phone to check, but found that there was no signal.

The steward said, "The signal here is indeed not very good. There is only one signal tower, which may be damaged by the storm."

Most of the way up the mountain is the winding road. At this time, it is windy and rainy, whether it is going up or down the mountain, it is dangerous, and the phone cannot be made, which means that everyone is trapped in this isolated castle.

Angel folded his arms, looked at the heavy wind and rain outside and nodded, "Suddenly it became interesting!"

Oss was worried and asked Angel, "What should I do, Angel?"

Angel thought for a while and said, "Let's eat first! I'm hungry."
