They avoided the old housekeeper and the cook, and quietly walked up to the second floor.

Li Mingchao winked at everyone, everyone understood and immediately dispersed.

But Shen Xiaozhi, who was reading in the study, didn't know that an uninvited guest had already sneaked up to the second floor.

At this time, he was nestling on the recliner, obsessively reading the detective novel, and just as he saw the exciting part, when the real murderer was about to surface, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

His hand that was flipping through the book paused, his eyes moved away from the book, and he stared at the door. At first he thought it was the butler, but after listening carefully, he didn't look like it, and he began to frown.

The sound outside sounded mixed and chaotic, although it was very slight, but it couldn't escape his ears, deliberately light footsteps and lowered voice, no matter how careful they were, they became extremely clear to his ears.

If it wasn't the old housekeeper, it was naturally a guest who came to the castle to stay overnight. Shen Xiaozhi's heart tightened suddenly. What are they doing sneakily, is it to steal something?

Shen Xiaozhi didn't care about reading anymore, and was about to get up to open the door, but after thinking about it, he stopped his movements and became hesitant.

No, there are so many of them, there is no benefit in arguing. He only has the old butler and the cook on his side. They are both old and weak. What can I do if I die.

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, Shen Xiaozhi retreated back onto the recliner silently, not daring to make a sound, and now bear it for now, and then ask the old butler if there is anything he can do to drive them away as soon as possible.

Listening to the movement outside, Shen Xiaozhi picked up the book, but couldn't read it any more. He remained restless until noon, and he was relieved when the old housekeeper came to ask him to have lunch.

He walked out of the study, and the corridor was as quiet as usual, but he knew it was a fake, because just before the old housekeeper came up, those people were still walking around, and they didn't know what they were looking for.

He watched the old butler hesitate to speak, but before he could speak, he had already arrived at the restaurant, so he had no choice but to press down the words he was going to ask.

Shen Xiaozhi sat down at the dining table. At this time, he no longer cared about those people as he did when he had breakfast in the morning, but observed them secretly.

Everyone ate the lunch quietly and strangely. Everyone lowered their heads and concentrated on eating the food in front of them without making a sound, as if they were performing a pantomime.

Shen Xiaozhi's eyes quietly fell on them. Except for the ponytail girl who vomited in the morning who looked a little trembling, the others seemed to be normal, and they couldn't tell if they were thieves or murderers at all.

However, people should not be judged by their appearance, and he would not suspect that they were bad people just because they looked like decent people.

After all, he heard with his own ears that they were rummaging around his house furtively on the second floor. It was because the thief hadn't escaped.

This reminded him that his doll disappeared after they came, and maybe they did it too. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Maybe it was because his gaze was not secret enough, the handsome young man sitting diagonally across from him suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, and when he saw those deep eyes, Shen Xiaozhi was taken aback.

Oops, he was discovered, he tried his best to maintain a blank expression, and looked away without a trace.

And Chu Nan also looked away as if nothing had happened, and ate his lunch silently with his head down, as if he wasn't the one who looked at him just now.

Shen Xiaozhi calmed down his frightened heart, and his gaze fell on the girl with ponytail, because it was the girl who was trembling even after eating. Although she tried her best to keep calm, it was a pity that her slightly trembling eyes hand betrayed her.

It's really strange, what is she afraid of, Shen Xiaozhi figured it out, could it be that she knows that the people with her are not good, so she feels guilty and afraid because of their viciousness?

Before I knew it, the time for lunch passed like this.

After lunch, the testers still gathered in the living room, and Shen Xiaozhi went to the study as usual. After sitting in the study for a while, he couldn't help calling the old housekeeper over, and told the ghosts of those people this morning. I told the old housekeeper about the sneaky things.

Then he said worriedly: "I don't know what they are looking for. I suspect that their purpose in coming to the castle is not pure. Some carriage is broken and they need to stay here for a few days. I think this must be an excuse!"

He looked at the old butler with a solemn expression: "Old butler, what can we do? Is there a way for you to send them all away, otherwise, the three of us are weak, and we may be in danger if we meet them." He said Maybe even your life will be lost!

When the old butler heard the words, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then he said politely and respectfully: "Young master, don't worry, we won't be in danger."

"Huh?" Shen Xiaozhi was a little skeptical: "Could it be that you have a way to deal with them?"

The old butler smiled: "Yes, young master, I promise, soon, they won't bother you again."

"I hope so." Shen Xiaozhi was a little skeptical, but seeing the old housekeeper's determined expression, he had no choice but to believe him for the time being.

On the side of the tester, the six people sat on the sofa in the living room again and began to exchange information they had discovered with each other.

The young man with yellow hair cleared his throat, and then said: "Well, I have been staring at that big BOSS all morning, and found that he has been staying in the study and hasn't gone anywhere."

He guessed: "Did you say that the doll is in the study? Didn't the note say that it stayed where he was staring at it all the time? What is the place he can keep staring at in the study?"

He looked at the crowd and said, "It's a book! What else can you do in the study room besides reading, so the doll is probably hidden in a book that BOSS always likes to read and reads often."

Li Ming and the others couldn't help looking at each other after hearing what he said. They felt that this kind of statement was a bit far-fetched. The note was written on the place where they were always watching. No matter how much they like reading, it is impossible to keep watching.

The red curly-haired woman quite agreed: "You are right, I also think that the doll must be hidden in the study, but the boss has been staying in the study, how can we get in without being discovered by him? "

Li Ming thought about it, and although he didn't agree with the guess of the young man with yellow hair, he felt that the study room was a very important place, and there might be some important clues inside.

He couldn't help but said: "If we want to enter the study, we have to go in when he is not in the study." He said to the young man with yellow hair: "Wait a minute, you continue to go to the study and watch him. As soon as he leaves, you will notify him immediately." us."

This simple, yellow-haired youth nodded without any objection.

After they finished speaking, Youxi frowned and looked at the key in her hand and said, "I tried all the doors on the second floor except the study room this morning, but none of them fit. Did I make a mistake? A key isn't a clue at all?"

The girl with ponytail said cautiously: "Could this be the key to the study?"

You Xi seriously looked at the old key in her hand, shook her head and said, "I don't think so." She didn't say much, anyway, she just didn't think it was the key to the study.

After guessing to no avail, she had no choice but to put the key away. After they discussed what to do next, they started to act.

The young man with yellow hair quietly went to the second floor again, looking for a hidden place outside the study to stare at, and the rest continued to search for clues.

However, from afternoon to night, they couldn't find a chance to enter the study. The yellow-haired young man stared at him all afternoon. Except for dinner time, the big boss never left the study.

And at night, until 09:30, when they had to go back to the room, the big boss was still in the study, feeling exhausted.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was fast asleep, there was a sudden rustling sound outside the window in the guest room on the first floor.

A pale face was suddenly imprinted on the outside of the window of the room where Chu Nan was. Its sharp claws were scraping the glass, as if it wanted to break through the window.

Chu Nan in the room suddenly woke up. He turned his head and looked out the window with dark eyes.

The monster outside the window seemed to have sensed something. It scratched the glass more impatiently, and the creaking sound was very ear-piercing.

Chu Nan took a breath, he looked away, lay motionless on the bed, then closed his eyes, and slowly calmed down his heartbeat.

The monster stopped scratching the window, and stared at the person on the bed with a pair of pale eyes. Seeing that there was no movement on the bed, perhaps it was unwilling to do so, and it broke through the window with a loud "crash!"

Chu Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped up from the bed in shock, but suddenly he remembered what the old butler said, don't speak, don't make any noise.

He knew very well that he was no match for this monster, and he couldn't escape from it, so he might as well take a gamble and try according to what the old housekeeper said.

He restrained himself, still lay motionless on the bed, breathing slowly.

The monster crawled in through the window, and crawled onto the bed dripping with blood.

The stench immediately filled Chu Nan's mouth and nose, and it lay on Chu Nan's body, looking at him face to face.

The viscous liquid dripped on his face, and slowly slid down to the pillow. Chu Nan endured the nausea, restrained himself, and pretended to be asleep.

The monster just looked at him quietly like this, but did not make any movement, Chu Nan was relieved immediately.

He knew that his choice was correct, as long as he didn't make a sound, the monster wouldn't move him. After thinking about it, his breathing became more stable.

One person and one monster confronted each other like this for about half an hour. The monster finally gave a low growl unwillingly, then climbed off the bed and went to the next room.
