Escape from the world [Cthulhu]

Brown was serious, but the investigators refused to accept it—after all, their task was to eliminate these anomalies that shouldn't exist.

"It is estimated that by dinner time, there will be a result."

At noon, everyone focused on killing vampires, and no one had a meal. After the injury was treated, everyone was already starving.

Fortunately, although there are no people in the kitchen, there is still food.

Chu Lishu and He Ying made another trip to bring lunch for the combatants.

Brown was concerned about the safety of non-combatants, and asked, "Have you seen the mayor and Broca?"

He Ying shook her head: "Now there is no one in the whole house."

Brown frowned. He wanted to ask the investigators to help him find it, but he knew that he really didn't have the right to bother them—if no investigators joined the battle, he would have been beaten to death by An Xi at noon today.

He Ying was very calm at this time, and even comforted Brown: "Whether something happened to them or not, we don't have a clue to find them now, you can treat them as dead, so that you can be pleasantly surprised if they don't die. "

Brown didn't even bother to pay attention to him. From the first time he saw this guy holding a notebook and listening to one ear, he knew that the business was not about him.

"What's that expression on your face?" Seeing them like this, Yan An was very dissatisfied that the person he was covering was underestimated. "He kindly comforted you, but you're still quite dissatisfied? Did he say something wrong?"

Brown endured the humiliation: "...No."

"Did he kindly persuade you?"

"……Yes."

"Then why don't you thank me?"

"……Thank you for your concern."

Yan An was satisfied, and continued to eat her share of food.

Chu Lishu was beside her, completely feeling the joy of watching Yan'an bully others.He was so happy that he changed his view of Yan'an a little bit—it's a pity to kill him, so let's just let it go.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon after eating.

The well-fed investigators searched the Lister mansion, which found no one but them.

The study on the third floor and Mrs. Lister's room have already been searched, but the other three rooms have not been searched.

There is no need to search the rooms of the guests on the second floor.

The maid's room on the first floor, the kitchen, and the basement connected to the kitchen have not been checked either.

After being divided into two teams as usual, He Ying and the others went to search the third floor, and Yan An and the others went to the first floor.

The room facing the stairs on the third floor is the activity room.

After opening the room, you can see a huge sofa, a fireplace, and a carpet that occupies almost an entire room-it looks very suitable for holding a book in winter and finding a corner in this room.

This room is not for entertaining guests, but a place for self-relaxation that is completely arranged according to the owner's preferences.

He Ying and Chu Lishu looked through it, and it seemed that people came here every day, and there was a quilt on the couch.

Chu Lishu [Investigation] check/out of sight: 65/56 success

Chu Lishu found that there were traces of someone sleeping on the sofa in the activity room.

"Is someone sleeping here?" He Ying was a little surprised, "Could it be that the housekeeper sleeps here all day, and then keeps an eye on whether anyone goes up to the third floor?"

Chu Lishu shook her head: "I don't think so. The activity room belongs to the master's private territory. No matter how high the status of the housekeeper is, he can't live here." You should also know how to avoid suspicion.

"The room of the Carolines is on the east side..." He Ying thought for a while, and then she affirmed, "The one sleeping here should be Mrs. Liszt, after all, there is no one sleeping in her room. Why didn't she go back to herself?" How about a room to sleep in?"

"Maybe it's the yearning for the dead... After all, according to the information we have collected, Mr. Liszt has been recuperating for the past two years. If he can't go out, he should just stay in the room." Chu Lishu looked at the room. The layout is very warm and has a completely different style from the reception hall on the first floor.

He Ying's [Inspiration] check/exit: 70/37 success

He Ying vaguely saw someone staying in every corner of the room, reading books, listening to music, and occasionally playing a piano on the table... He realized that this person was probably Mr. Liszt.

He Ying woke up: "Mr. Liszt should have stayed here often during his lifetime, so Mrs. Liszt often came here after Mr. Liszt's death."

"Maybe that's it." Chu Lishu nodded, "There should be nothing here, let's go to the next door?"

"Ah."

The two went to the next room, which was a musical instrument room. A piano was placed in the most conspicuous position by the window, and a few scores of music were placed on the piano.There are also many musical instruments in the room, such as cello, violin, trombone, French horn... In addition, there is a display cabinet that occupies an entire wall, displaying various trophies, certificates and some photos of the competition.

He Ying identified it. Most of the photos belonged to Mr. Liszt. In the photos, he was thinner and paler than in the portraits. It seemed that he would be broken with a little force.

Chu Lishu picked up the scores on the piano. These scores were handwritten, as if they were being created by the writer, and there were many traces of revisions on each sheet.

He flipped through it, and besides the score, there were some text in the blank space, which seemed to be a record of mood.

Judging from the dates, some of these were written by Mr. Lister before he fell ill, and some were written after he fell ill-the number of writings after he fell ill was far more than that before he fell ill, and so did the mood records.

"He Ying, come and see this."

He Ying walked over from the display cabinet and took the sheet music from Chu Lishu.

He Ying [Psychology] check/exit: 70/? ? ?

In the process of reviewing, He Ying found that although Mr. Liszt was seriously ill, he seemed to be in a good mood and had no depression or other negative tendencies.

He Ying put down the music score: "This man is quite optimistic, he seems to be a really good man. The housekeeper said that Mr. Liszt invited strangers, maybe it is true."

Chu Lishu looked around the room a few more times, but no check was triggered: "Let's go, let's go to the opposite room."

The opposite room looks like the master room, with heavy traces of life. He Ying even saw a tie hanging by the bed.

"This is Mrs. Caroline's room?" He Ying felt that something was wrong, "Why do I feel like this is Mrs. Lister's room?"

But this room and Lianyu are almost the same as Mrs. Liszt's room they described.

Chu Lishu picked up the tie and looked at it, seeming to recall where she had seen it before: "This tie is the one Mr. Caroline wore on the first night. This is indeed the room of the Carolines."
