Ji Hanchuan got the answer he wanted to know, and slowly asked other maids.In a joking tone, he said, "I know Anna was the last one to come, but the others don't know."

Blake listened to him kindly.

About an hour later, Ji Hanchuan knew that apart from Monica, the first maids to appear in the manor were Doris and Jodi, and then the maid beside Anna who took care of her.Then there's Vera, who has "robbed and fled", Nicole and Carol.

Ji Hanchuan silently concluded: In this way, at least Nicole and Carol are "safe".

During the speech, Ji Hanchuan quietly interspersed with some topics related to flower cultivation.The garden is very large, and he slowly brought the two gardeners to an angle where they could not see the window of Mr. Moulton's study by virtue of his curiosity about a certain color of tulips.By borrowing, it is to find something for Ivan and Black to do.

Ji Hanchuan had already confirmed it beforehand: "However, with such a large garden, in case something unexpected happens..."

When he said this, he looked left and right, lowered his voice, and admitted that as a "tutor", he was actually worried about himself, afraid of what would happen to him, made a small mistake, and was punished by Mr. Moulton afterwards.

Ji Hanchuan faintly felt that perhaps behind these characters, there was a unified consciousness that was surveying the audience.And what he said can also be compared with the "confession" with the housekeeper in the morning.

Black laughed and said, "Sir is a very generous person."

Ivan also said: "We can't grow such beautiful tulips all the time, and there will be times when we don't succeed, but my husband won't be angry because of such trivial things."

Black winked at Ji Hanchuan and asked, "So, does Mr. Han have any problems?"

Ji Hanchuan blinked, looking a little embarrassed, his eyes drifted with guilt, and changed the topic.

He also asked: "Actually, I was also very surprised. I heard from the young master that this was my wife's favorite words in my life. After my wife passed away, my husband still kept this garden as a memorial."

"Yes." Black said. At the same time, he also looked at Ji Hanchuan curiously, not understanding what he was trying to express.

Ji Hanchuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "In my country, there is a word called 'touching the scene' - after the death of a loved one, seeing the things she used, will recall this person His death, so I have the same sad mood.”

"That's it." Black sighed, "I can't say that there is no such thing. Mister is indeed in a hurry to and fro in the garden, and he hasn't stopped to appreciate it for a long time."

Ivan also said, "Well, that's right."

Ji Hanchuan: "But yes, in the castle, I didn't see any decorations related to tulips. Mister will still care about it after all."

He spoke while looking at the expressions of Ivan and Black.

Ivan's complexion didn't change much, Blake...

He smiled and said, "Well, we really don't know." Looking around, "We are all working outside and have no chance to enter the castle."

Ji Hanchuan smiled and said, "I see."

After he understood the information he wanted to know, he looked at the sky and felt that the sky was blue and a heavy rain was coming.

Ivan and Black didn't speak, but they had worked together for a long time, and they had a tacit understanding, knowing how to take good care of the flowers around them.

Everything is calm and peaceful.However, after a while, Ivan wiped his sweat and was about to stand up and walk around, but his feet suddenly turned.

He widened his eyes, and with a short "ah" still stuck in his throat, he planted his whole body towards the lush tulip bushes!

Blake was next to him, and when he saw this, he yelled, "Ivan!"

He subconsciously reached out, trying to grab his companion.But someone beside him moved faster than him, pushing away Blake and reaching out to Ivan.

However, the speed of Ivan's fall was still too fast, and the tutor seemed worried that he would step on other intact tulips. In the end, he didn't hold Ivan, and could only watch him fall into the flowers and overwhelm a large tulip .

Both Ivan and Blake were stunned.After a while, Ivan's face turned pale.He stood up hastily, his back covered with mud.Perhaps because it was daytime, there were not many beetles above the soil, but there was still one hanging on Ivan's back.He didn't notice it, and cold sweat quickly rolled down his forehead, and he stammered, "Blake! This——"

Blake was also very nervous, "You come out first!"

The two stuttered, trying to deal with the mess in front of them.The tutor next to her was probably also worried and wanted to help.Black raised his voice and shouted to Ivan: "How can you be so careless!"

Ivan muttered, unable to say anything.

Their attitude made the tutor next to him start to feel uneasy. He didn't know what to think of, and seemed absent-minded.

The two gardeners were busy and started to save.The tutor hesitated for a long time, but still said: "Then, then I still..."

Black didn't look back, and said directly, "Sorry, Mr. Han, we have something to do now."

The governess sighed, and walked over to Chao, expressing that he was sensible and would not still bother at such a time.

His expression remained unchanged, still worried.But in his heart, he was thinking: According to the gardener, they would not enter the castle.That's right, it's the maids who know everything about the castle best.I didn't ask them at first because I was worried about bumping into a maid like Anna who had almost fallen into darkness. After all, there were too many of them, so there must be something different among them.But from the words just asked, combined with the known information, at least the gardener's words can be trusted.

So, he can ask Carol and Nicole?Oh, and there's one more person who's been overlooked.

chef.

He is also a person who "works in the castle".

Ji Hanchuan thought about it for a while, and took out a few pieces of smoked rabbit meat to fill his stomach.As expected, at noon and evening, the condition of all meals will get worse and worse, which is probably a symbol.The housekeeper showed kindness today, which made Ji Hanchuan even more vigilant about the stories he told himself.But if you think about it from this direction, maybe it's a little trick of the "game".

Anyway-

He swallowed the dry smoked rabbit meat, pursed his lips, feeling a little thirsty.

Ji Hanchuan was already standing under the castle, and when he raised his head, he could see the windows on the second floor.

He heard Tokyo coming from Owen's study, and it turned out to be the butler and the servant.In addition, Ji Hanchuan walked from far to near, all the way paying attention to the windows on the third floor, making sure that there would not be a shadow standing there quietly coveting everything.

Safety.

He makes judgments.

Afterwards, Ji Hanchuan did some warm-up exercises, and like a dexterous cat, he stepped on the dirt, window sills, and even the uneven gaps in the stone walls of the ancient castle, and quickly and lightly climbed up from the outside to the second floor.He deliberately found an angle that would not be noticed from Owen's window, and then slowly touched it from the edge.

He opened the shutters first, and then saw that the curtains were drawn inside.

Ji Hanchuan raised his eyebrows, looking at the glass in front of him.Unlike the clear glass of later generations, the windows in the manor appear chaotic and contain impurities, but the interior can still be seen.

Ning Ning sat on the windowsill next to her.

She looked worried and looked at Ji Hanchuan.Seeing his daughter's expression, Ji Hanchuan knew that there must be something hidden inside.

Even dangerous.

He was suddenly a little uncertain, thinking: Should I go to the third floor first?Owen's room did not draw the curtains, at least he could know whether he was there or not.

Just do it.

It took him a while to make sure that Owen was indeed lying on the table with a quill in his hand and a parchment in front of him.What Ji Hanchuan saw was a silhouette, and he was sure it was Owen, but because of the magazines on the glass, he couldn't see much.Satisfied, he descended again to the window of Mr. Moulton's study.

There was a dull thunder in the sky.The butler heard it as if he looked up at the window.

Ning Ning watched him approach.

She is the most out of place existence in the entire manor, wearing modern clothes, sitting on a stone wall full of signs of time.Wait until the butler raises his hand, closes the window, and pulls it together with the shutter.Ning Ning stood in the room, watching his movements pause for a moment, while the male servants stood in place, like puppets out of control.

After a while, the butler laughed and said, "Light a candle. It's so dark in the room that you can't see anything."

Then some servants went to light candles.

Ning Ning looked around.

She is not affected by the light, like a tourist hundreds of years later, even holding a computer that is incompatible with this place.After a slight noise, the flames sprang up, and the butler picked up the candlestick and murmured, "Not enough, it's still too dark."

It started to rain outside the window.

The raindrops fell into the dirt, getting bigger and bigger.Blake and Ivan were soon covered in mud, and they were still struggling to lift up every tulip.Under the watering of the rain, the beetles emerged from the ground and happily ran around the entire garden.

The housekeeper ordered: "Or order a few more."

The footmen looked at the rugs, the books.The butler scolded with a smile: "I mean candles! Candles."

The servants started to move.When there are no players around, they have no expressions on their faces, and they don't have their own emotions, and their actions are completely controlled by the butler.Up to this moment, the flames on the candles have been ignited one after another, and the candlesticks are on the wall, lighting up this small world.The housekeeper looked at it for a moment and said, "Go ahead."

The servants continued to repair the door of the study.

Ning Ning looked at the feet of these NPCs.She looked into the kitchen, into a deeper place.The blood stains on the walls, the bones leaning against the chains, the sarcophagus in the center, the lines on the ground...

She looked around again.

The hidden tulip statue—

Ning Ning blinked her eyes, lost interest in the housekeeper and servant here, and walked to the side.

Her body was like nothingness, passed through the bookshelf, passed through the wall, and came to another dark place.The window was probably closed, so although the butler who had just closed the window looked around, he didn't notice anything wrong.But there is still a little gap to let the light in.Although it's a bit difficult, you can still see the general layout of this study.

Then there was the figure with smoke-gray hair sitting in front of the desk.
