There's definitely something wrong with this script.

Chapter 21 Cause of Death
"It's really not me..."

On the sofa in the living room, the maid who was just pulled out was huddled in a corner with a face of fear and fear, whispering all the time.

After Xu Shuo finished eating, he looked at her, got up and walked over.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned.

"Ah!" The maid seemed to be frightened, she was slightly relieved when she looked up and saw that it wasn't the housekeeper, then her face collapsed again, and she choked with grievance.

Xu Shuo sat down beside her, and said in a gentle voice, "I just saw that there was a bit of noise over there. Could it be that the butler thought you were the murderer of Mr.?"

The maid's room was sealed off, and she could only stay outside and wait for the investigation. When she heard this, she shook her head: "I don't! I'm not! That thing doesn't belong to me at all!"

Xu Shuo asked suspiciously, "What?"

"I, I don't know..." The maid whispered: "They found suspicious items in my room, but it wasn't mine at all. I really don't know how it got there. I didn't kill someone. Sir, I..."

"Okay, calm down, I don't doubt you." Xu Shuo comforted her helplessly.

The maid pursed her lips, lowered her head and twisted her fingers uneasily. She glanced in the direction of the courtyard from time to time, for fear that the detective would come over and identify her as the murderer after the investigation.

With the presence of physical evidence, the maid who encountered this kind of thing for the first time didn't know what to do. She was the one who brought the bowl to the husband, and she was also the one who had suspicious objects around her.

If she hadn't really done it, I'm afraid she would have doubted herself.

It's a pity that there are no cameras installed in the manor, otherwise she wouldn't be so nervous.

Xu Shuo comforted her a few words: "You don't have to worry so much, I've heard about that Detective Gu, he is very capable in investigating cases, and he will definitely clear you up."

The maid nodded gratefully.

Suddenly, the young man said again: "Speaking of which, the murder of Mr. this time seems to be related to the death of his wife three years ago. I came late, and I have never heard of that incident. Helpful in investigation."

The maid's complexion changed slightly from the beginning, and she hesitated a little after hearing it. She looked around, and when she saw no one, she whispered: "Chef Zhang, have you heard the rumors here?"

Xu Shuo showed appropriate curiosity: "What rumor?"

The maid approached him and said in a low voice: "I heard that Mrs. Guo's ghost has been wandering in this manor. I heard that this mountain is unknown before. Many missing people here have been wandering in the mountain with grievances. , Madame is driven crazy by them."

"Wow, that sounds scary." Xu Shuo read.

"..." The maid looked at him with a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but said: "It's true, I heard from the gardener before that he also saw the lady's ghost come back, because he blamed Mr. The flowers are all ruined."

Speaking of this, the maid showed a hesitant expression on her face, but she continued to say: "I heard that roses appeared on the body after the husband died? So I suspect that this time the husband was given by the wife..."

She made a clicking movement against her neck, and then swallowed in fear.

Xu Shuo couldn't help but smiled, and comforted him, "There are no ghosts in the world, maybe the murderer wanted to create this kind of scene, maybe you've been fine for three years here."

"The gardener has been here longer than me, and I think he's already crazy, especially when he's acting weird every morning." The maid hugged herself in fear.

"Didn't the gardener leave when the manor was replaced three years ago?" Xu Shuo asked again.

"No, he was already there when I came here, and he has a sullen face every day, just like the housekeeper here." The maid lowered her voice again, and said quietly: "You haven't been here for a long time, so you don't feel it. In fact, two years ago, the husband and the housekeeper were terrible, and no one was allowed to enter the backyard. I suspect that there are some secrets hidden in this manor, maybe it is related to those rumors..."

"Hey, if I hadn't been lured by the salary to sign a long-term worker, I might have run away long ago." Finally, she whispered something.

"That's really hard work for you."

Xu Shuo comforted her in a vague way.

Behind the sofa where they were sitting, the photographer who came in at some unknown time listened for a long time. He originally wanted to come and question the maid, but he didn't expect to see the two highest suspects sitting together and chatting.

The photographer now has two candidates in mind, the person who knows the secret of the manor, one is Young Master Guo who suffers from depression, and the other is the gardener.

As for the butler, he never considered that the other party would reveal the truth to him.

Young Master Guo will be depressed because of the past, and it can be seen that he probably has some grievances in his heart. If he guides him, he may be able to get news, but it doesn't feel easy.

Finally the photographer thought about it, and turned to find the cowering gardener.

Until now, he has not completed one of the two main quests. Although the truth may be revealed after the police arrive, the photographer does not intend to sit still.

After the photographer left, Zhan Qian, who didn't know where to go just now, walked in through the gate of the villa, still playing with the cross necklace in her hand.

Her shoes were stained with mud, and just in time she called the maid to replace her with a new pair of shoes, then walked towards the living room, and looked at the young man sitting on the sofa with some curiosity.

"You don't really intend to stay here and wait to win?" Zhan Qian walked over and said.

"I think you seem to be confident. Did Ms. Zhan find any reliable clues?" Xu Shuo looked at her and said with a smile.

Zhan Qian sat down on the sofa, folded her legs gracefully, and said lightly: "Three years ago, Mrs. Guo committed suicide. Three years later, someone took advantage of Mrs. Guo's identity to avenge her."

Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows.

Then, Zhan Qian turned around and said, "It sounds like that."

"So, that's not the case?" Xu Shuo propped his chin and looked at her with great interest: "Have you been able to restore the story of this script?"

"Three years ago, there was a large-scale disappearance in this mountain. Eight girls disappeared one after another in one year. The police couldn't find any clues." Zhan Qian looked at him and said leisurely: "After Mrs. Guo found out, suddenly He just went crazy for no reason, and within two or three days he committed suicide in the backyard, among the rose bushes."

"Mr. Guo loved his wife deeply, so he buried her behind and planted roses on the tomb."

"But three years later, in the summer of August, I sent Mr. Guo a rose every night and left a letter demanding his life, and then finally killed Mr. Guo last night."

Zhan Qian pretended to be mysterious and smiled slightly: "It sounds like she is avenging Mrs. Guo? But it is strange. What does Mrs. Guo's suicide three years ago have to do with those missing girls? What's the matter, sir?"

Xu Shuo also smiled gently: "Miss Zhan still likes to show off first as always, but do you know that many villains die because of talking too much nonsense."

Zhan Qian: "..."

Her face froze for a moment, and she sat a little far away from the man in silence, then smiled awkwardly but elegantly.

"My mission has nothing to do with you."
