Chapter 30 The Fifth Person

In the dark corridor, the candlelight flickered weakly, illuminating the vague figures on the wall.

Xiao Keai carefully touched the wall with his hand, and said, "Is this person buried in the wall? Shall we dig him out?"

Qin Fu said, "It's hard."

He realized that Lin Qiao was not around, and when he wanted to look for it, he saw the young man squatting by the corner of the wall, scraping the wall bit by bit with a short knife.

Qin Fu: "..."

He laughed and went over to rub Lin Qiao: "Why are you so cute?"

Lin Qiao glanced at him faintly, inserted the dagger forcefully into the wall, and even forcibly pried off a small piece of wall brick.

"It's pryable."

Qin Fu raised his eyebrows, pushed the wall with his hand, and said, "Sure enough."

The surface of the wall looks like a hard stone wall, but in fact it is as soft as damp wood. A sharp short knife can be inserted into it, and several gaps can be easily pried open.

Qin Fu took the dagger from Lin Qiao's hand, his strength was stronger, and the speed of digging the wall was much faster.In just over ten minutes, a small hole was dug out—at the same time, a bare foot embedded in the wall was also exposed to everyone's eyes.

Qin Fu and Lin Qiao glanced at each other, speeding up their hands.

As time passed, the people inside the wall gradually revealed their full body.Just when Qin Fu was about to dig out "his" upper body, there was a "bang", and the wall collapsed immediately, and the corpse was also covered under the broken bricks and stones, leaving only one hand stretched out straight. Outside.

There was a new space behind the collapsed wall, but the three of them did not explore it for the time being.They removed the bricks that were pressing on the corpse, only to find that the corpse was actually a naked woman.

The woman has blond hair that is as dry as dead grass, and her skin is covered by a thick layer of plaster, which makes it impossible to see the original color - because of the layer of plaster, her face is like a mask, and it is impossible to see clearly facial features.

The plaster was firmly stuck to the woman's skin, inseparable like another layer of skin.And the strong corpse odor on her body was like a needle piercing straight into her nose, making people want to spit it out immediately when she got close.

"It hasn't rotted yet,"

Xiao Keai covered his nose and said, "This doesn't look like someone who just died."

He hid far away, not daring to get too close.Lin Qiao and Qin Fu stood one meter away, holding candles and staring at the woman's face.

It wasn't obvious at first, but when you pay attention, you will find a strangle mark on the woman's neck—the mark is deeply sunken, almost strangling half of her neck.

Lin Qiao frowned slightly, and said, "This is Heller?"

The countess once said that the count's lover was strangled to death by the count, and the female corpse in the wall happened to match her statement.

"Not quite right,"

Qin Fu said, "It was built in the wall after killing, which means that the murderer's hatred is very deep, or her death is shameful."

"However, Heller is also the earl's lover for many years, so there shouldn't be such a big hatred."

Lin Qiaodao, "As for being shameless... With the Earl's status, it should be easy to cover up Heller's death."

They looked at each other, and they all noticed something strange about the female corpse.

"that……"

Xiao Keai looked at them from a distance, "Are we going to stay here forever?"

Lin Qiao withdrew his gaze from the female corpse and looked forward.

When the wall collapsed just now, he noticed that there was a room behind the wall. Unlike the room when they fell down, it was more like a bedroom. There was even a velvet carpet on the floor—although the carpet was mostly rotted and turned into a pile. rag.

Qin Fu said, "Go there and have a look."

He stepped into the room first, stepping on the broken carpet on the floor.

This room hidden behind the wall is indeed a bedroom, with a large bed covered with plush quilts in the middle, as well as a large wardrobe and dressing table—although it has been abandoned for a long time, it can still be seen that the once exquisite appearance.

Xiao Keai carefully avoided the female corpse on the ground and entered this bedroom.

"This looks like the master bedroom,"

He looked around and said, "It's big and spacious, like a lady's room."

This room hidden in an unknown part of the mansion was much more luxurious than the guest room where the few of them lived, let alone the small attic where Heller lived.

Lin Qiao pondered: "Is there such a possibility...the mansion has been renovated, and this was indeed the master bedroom of the mansion?"

Qin Fu looked around and said, "According to what you said, a major incident probably happened in the mansion. The mansion was renovated to cover up this incident, so that no trace of the past can be found."

"Yes,"

Lin Qiao nodded slightly, "I just don't know when it was refurbished, and how it has anything to do with the death of the Earl."

He looked back at the corpse on the ground and said, "I'm afraid this person's status is not low."

Qin Fu didn't speak. He had a guess in his mind, but that guess was too terrifying and unfounded, so it just flashed in his mind and he didn't say it out.

There is a door in the room, which leads to another corridor. The people couldn't find anything useful in the room, so they opened the door and walked out.

The corridor extended into darkness. Like the room, it had been dusty for many years, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the ground.

Different from the empty corridor before, there are huge portraits hanging on both sides of the walls here. The portraits range from old to young, as if they are successive members of this family.

The three of them walked all the way in, and finally came to the end of the corridor, before the last portrait.

This portrait depicts a couple, the husband is handsome and the wife is gentle and beautiful.Both of them are dressed in gorgeous costumes, and it can be seen that their status is not low.

Qin Fu took out the old photo he found in the attic and compared it with the man in the portrait, and said, "This is Earl T."

Lin Qiao said: "Then next to him is the countess."

He looked at the woman in the portrait and frowned deeply.

Not only him, Xiao Keyai also showed a look of surprise, saying: "But this woman is nothing like the Countess!"

——The woman who was supposed to be the Countess in the portrait was not the same person as the Countess they saw.

This discovery was completely unexpected. Qin Fu rubbed his chin and said, "This person may not be the Countess, but it may also be Heller."

"But if she was the Countess, then it wasn't Heller who died that year, but her."

Lin Qiao whispered, "Because the Earl killed his wife, he had to hide it, so he refurbished the mansion and hid it in a place where others can't see it... After a few years, no one will remember What happened in the first place."

"Then who is the Countess now?"

Listening to his words, Xiao Keai felt chills running down his back, "Is it Heller? The Earl loves her so much that he would even kill his own wife for her... But the Earl himself died, right?"

"..."

For a while, no one spoke, and everyone was digesting this terrifying fact.After a while, Qin Fu suddenly said: "Go back to the place just now.

They returned to the room just now. There was no one in the room, and everything remained the same as when they left, but the female corpse that was supposed to be lying on the ground... had disappeared.

Xiao Keai said in horror: "Where's the corpse? Where did the corpse go?!"

Something shook in the darkness outside the house, Qin Fu rushed over immediately, and saw a white shadow flying by quickly, and disappeared in another place.

"She tried to seduce us,"

Qin Fu said, "I can't make it through"

Lin Qiao said "go" without hesitation, Qin Fu held his hand and walked over with him.

Xiao Keai followed silently, they walked through the corridor and came to a corner——

The corridor was a straight line before, and no one knew when this corner appeared.After rounding the corner, there was another corridor, and a white figure was not far away, with his feet untouched, hanging in mid-air.

The female ghost's withered blond hair fell loose, making it impossible to see her face clearly.She hid in a corner and didn't face everyone.

Lin Qiao said softly, "Countess?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the female ghost moved slightly.She stretched out a pale hand, pointing straight to the other side——

There was a narrow staircase with twists and turns, leading to an open secret compartment at the top.

Xiao Keai said in surprise, "It's the exit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of sinister wind rushed to his face, and when he turned his head again, he realized that the female ghost had disappeared.

"Wait, where did she go?"

Lin Qiao shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go up and talk about it."

It was noon when they came down, and it was night when they went out again.It was extremely dark, with not a trace of light.

Xiao Keai walked in the front, he didn't seem to want to stay in this place at all, and his footsteps were extraordinarily brisk, and he was about to climb to the top of the stairs——

A face suddenly poked into the dark cell from the outside, showing a grim smile at Xiao Keai.

"Fuck!"

Xiao Keai was so frightened that he stepped on the air and fell backwards, being supported by Lin Qiao.

That face quickly disappeared, and with a "bang", the dark compartment was closed from the outside.Xiao Keai held on to Lin Qiao tightly, and he hadn't recovered from the panic just now.

"Well, that's not—"

"right,"

Lin Qiao said, "That's the countess of the mansion...a fake."

Qin Fu went forward to push the secret compartment, only to find that the secret compartment had been tightly locked and could not be pushed away.

He stabbed the dagger into the dark compartment, but the blade was so sharp that it couldn't penetrate even an inch into the wood.

"no way,"

He said, "There is no way out from here."

Lin Qiao was silent, and said after a while: "It's not quite right."

Xiao Keai said: "Of course something is wrong, nothing is right here."

"No, not here."

Lin Qiao said, "I've seen a female ghost before, and it's not the same as the countess."

Xiao Keai was taken aback: "What?"

"That female ghost was covered in blood, and she was very angry. Ma Jun and the others might have been killed by her."

Lin Qiao said, "But she is definitely not the real countess."

Qin Fu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "You mean to say that there are two female ghosts in the mansion?"

Lin Qiao said: "Yes, I originally thought there was only one female ghost, either the Countess or Heller, but if there are two..."

In the incident at the mansion, two of the earl, countess and Heller died... But if the countess and Heller died, then the only thing left is——

Count T.
