Chapter 190 194: The disease

"Come and see this." Mahao put the family portrait on the desk, and called the other three members to discuss together.

There are four people in total in this family photo, two men and two women.

One of them is a man and a woman who are older. The man looks like Andri in the newspaper photo, and the older woman is wearing a pink lace bubble dress, although there are no other photos to verify it.

Vera recognized it immediately, this dress was the same as the one on the skeleton in the basement.

As for the remaining two in the family portrait, the girl with a childish face has some baby fat and looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.The man standing next to her, about 25 and six, beside the three smiling companions, he looked a little awkward without a smiling face, as if he didn't adapt to the joyful atmosphere in the photo.

This family photo is of the family living in the castle.

The boy is Andri, the older woman is Monica, and the girl is their daughter Lilith.

Only the young man in the photo, his identity, no one has a clue.

Whether it was Monica's diary or newspaper reports, it proved that there was a family of three living in the castle, and Lilith was the only child of Andri and Monica.

But who is this man who appears in the family portrait?

"Maybe Lilith's cousin?"

Augustus looked at the photo and guessed, "The cousin who came to the castle as a guest happened to be invited to take a family portrait together, so he appeared in the photo."

"It's a servant in the house, right? A servant who has a close relationship with the master. What's wrong with taking a photo together?" Eric said.

It's really nothing, just a photo, which can't explain any problems.

The focus of their discussion should be the locked drawer under the desk.

"Augus, can you open this drawer with brute force?" Ma Haohao wanted Augus to forcefully remove the drawer, and her intuition told her that there must be something important in this drawer.

Augus had no objection and he would do whatever he was told.His brain power can't keep up, so he is willing to do more strenuous work.

But this drawer, like those locked rooms, looks fragile, but no matter how much effort is used, it just can't be opened.

Augustus scratched his head, "How about I try to pick the lock with a dagger again?"

As he spoke, he was going to get the dagger next to the backpack, but Vera stopped him and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.

That's the key the president found from the servant's room!

"Don't worry, aren't we worried that we can't find the corresponding lock? These keys don't belong to the room, maybe they belong to the locked drawer."

Vera seemed calm, but she was actually a little upset, especially when the knocking on the door didn't stop. She tried several times with the key, but she couldn't align it with the keyhole of the drawer.

Ma couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the key from Vera.

She could tell that the "smart people" in this club like to play tricks.

First, the president Rob was scared to death, then Eric was a bluffing paper tiger, and then the heroine Vera, who acted boldly and calmly, Ma Haohao thought she was really fearless, but unexpectedly she was strong .

No wonder the Supernatural Research Society was wiped out by the group in the end... The person in charge of IQ was panicked, how could he escape from the clutches of the ghost?

Ma Hao's luck was not good. She tried the bunch of keys from beginning to end, and only found the key that matched the drawer after trying the last one.

The things in this drawer were arranged very neatly, making Ma Haohao somehow remind her of Lilith's room, both of which made her feel orderly.

There weren't many things in the drawer, so Mahao found a photo frame inside with a photo on it.

Unlike the family portrait, there are only two protagonists in this photo—Lilith and the young man.

Compared with the expressionless face in the family portrait, the man in this photo smiled a little more, but it may also be because he did not look at the camera, but looked at Lilith.

This cousin seems to have some camera phobia?

What Ma Haohao doesn't understand is, why should such a photo be locked in a drawer?

She continued to rummage through the contents of the drawer, and underneath the photo was a report written in English.

Ma Haohao didn't think about translating by herself, and threw the report to Vera. Professionals do professional things, and she wants to be a party.

Vera got the report and glanced at it roughly: "These words are too professional. I can only see that it is a diagnosis. The patient diagnosed is Lilith, and it says that Lilith suffers from heart-related diseases."

She held the medical certificate and thought about it, then took out the fragmentary pages of Monica's diary and spread them out on the table.

"Look at this sentence in the diary - 'Andri still knew about it. I didn't hide it from him on purpose.' Andri's letter to his lover mentioned genetic diseases. I originally thought it was Monica. She concealed her illness. Now it seems that it is not necessarily her who has a genetic disease, but it may also be Lilith."

Vera pointed to the writing in the diary and said: "Look at this sentence again - 'He likes Lilith so much, why should we have other children?' Judging from the literal meaning, the cause of their quarrel is Lilith's heart Illness. It seems that Andri cheated in order to give birth to a healthy child."

Vera was immersed in her analysis, and Eric snatched the medical certificate from her hand.

He glanced at the densely packed professional medical certificate, became dizzy for a moment, and threw it back on the table: "Damn, what kind of book is this? If only Shavant was here, this guy is a medical student at least. "

Ma Hao's focus suddenly deviated.

It turns out that the president is a medical student, and she can understand why the president became a medical student.Tang Tang in the last world died of illness, so he wants to become a doctor in the new world, right?

Ma Hao's point is that no one else can understand, they just look for things in the drawer.

In addition to the photo frame and medical certificate, there are two keys in this drawer.

One of them was wrapped with tape, and it said Lilith, the room key they had been looking for for a long time, and it turned out to be here.

There was no mark on the other key, so it was impossible to tell where it belonged, but it most likely belonged to a locked room.

The knight at the door of the study did not make a sound, and did not hear his leaving footsteps, but the sound of knocking on the door stopped.

Vera put away the medical certificate, keys and two photos with an expression of surprise, put them in her backpack, and then signaled August and Eric to test the movement at the door.

If you can't get out of the study, it's useless to get the key.

You can hide in the study for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime.The door can block the ghosts of the knights, but they will always starve to death in the room when they run out of ammunition and food.

Half of the day is over, and the situation will be even more dangerous at night.They must take advantage of the dawn to collect as many favorable clues as possible.
