Chapter 474 Guests from outside the world
Someone asked weakly, "How could Miss Helen kill Thomas in front of so many people? And Thomas's body has not been found yet..."< br>
After hearing this, Ran Ran looked at Ah Fu, "Butler Ah Fu, the previous search for the murderer must not have searched the entire castle. Of course, I am not questioning any omissions."
“It’s just that the castle is so big, there must be a place that Butler Afu thinks you don’t need to search for.”
Afu’s eyes lit up, “The small castle in the west! It’s where the servants rest. , no one goes there during the day, the door is open, but every room is locked during working hours. The original intention is not to let the servants be lazy, but the earl still assigns a key to each servant.”
Ranran nodded, "That means the servants can go back at any time if they want, right?"
Afu responded, already calling the servants to go to the small castle to check, and put the heavy A bunch of keys were handed to the servant running errands.
“When I caught the assassin, I really felt that it was unlikely that the assassin was in the small castle, but I sent people to search just in case, but I didn’t open the door and searched from room to room.”
< br>Ran Ran said calmly: "The assassin cannot be in the room without the key, and Thomas is not sure."
"Exactly the truth!" Ah Fu was pacing back and forth anxiously while waiting. Fortunately, the glass greenhouse and the small castle were in the same direction, so it didn't take long for the errand boy to return.
The servant's face was very pale and he was holding something in his hand.
"How is it?" Ah Fu asked anxiously.
"Thomas...Thomas is dead!" The servant gasped: "In his own room, without breathing or heartbeat, but..."
"But what?!" Fu was so anxious that he yelled.
“But Thomas is smiling!” The servant said it all at once, then tremblingly raised the thing in his hand and handed it to Afu.
"This is what he is holding in his hand..."
Afu took it and took a closer look. It was a pocket watch, but when he opened the pocket watch, his expression suddenly changed.
With a "click", the pocket watch was quickly closed. Ah Fu seemed to have closed something bad. He looked at Armand with some incomprehension.
"...Master..."
Ran Ran vaguely guessed it, and she could only sigh in her heart.
Armand frowned and said directly: "Say."
Afu bit the bullet and said, "It's Miss Helen's portrait..."
The scene was in an uproar.
A painting that can fit into such a small pocket watch can allow Ah Fu to recognize the person in the painting at a glance... That portrait must be extremely exquisite.
Tok, who had been stunned after killing Christine, suddenly spoke.
"Thomas asked me to draw it."
"He took three months' salary in exchange for me."
Those azure eyes seemed to have regained some of their sparkle because of this memory. , "I am not familiar with him, so I should have refused."
"But I am really short of money...I need to buy more painting supplies to draw the second Miss Alice..."
Tok's face was full of bitterness, and the painting of her naked body appeared in Shenyin's mind again.
The beautiful white curves have been drawn, and the outline of the face has begun to take shape. As long as everyone sees the painting, they can recognize that the person above is Alice.
Shame and anger surged together, and Shenyin gritted his teeth, "So why did you paint that painting?!"
Tok looked at Shenyin in shock and sadness, "Yes. Miss Alice, you asked me to draw it...you said it was the last time, whether it was painting or something else."
Shenyin's face turned red and she denied it loudly, "It's not me!"
Neither is Alice!
Although Shenyin only became Alice for a short period of time, her feelings would be very strong because of her personal experience.
The attitudes of the people around her were enough for her to piece together a real Alice. Arrogant and domineering, she is almost a replica of Christine. The biggest difference between her and her sister is the rebellion in her.
I have seen what kind of life my sister lived by following the rules - hopeless and suffocating. Therefore, the same favorable conditions since childhood gave birth to a different character in Alice.
She never treats herself badly in matters of love between men and women. As long as she likes it and her power is enough to overwhelm that person, she can play with others unscrupulously.
Tok was not her only lover.
Shenyin now thinks back to the handsome servants and attendants in Count Mellis's castle, who had a wonderful attitude towards her...
Those should be Alice's subordinates.
She felt that she was a rose set off by countless green leaves. Such Alice...
It would never be possible for Alice to take the initiative to lower her proud head and send that kind of invitation to Tok.
Tok was stunned for a moment, "...so it's Miss Ada..."
Until this moment, Tok didn't know what Ada meant by those words that Ada said to him before he died.
"Poor man, since you know it is a forbidden area, why do you come here?"
"Then you are in the wrong place."
......
< br>
Ran Ran corrected, "Actually, the invitation should have been sent by Mrs. Christine. After all, she started the murder plan. It's just that her client, the coachman, has completely given up on killing you."
"Miss Ada and Miss Helen learned the news through some way, and thus got involved in the murder plan and took action against you."
"The general process is like this." Ran Ran paused, "As for Why did Miss Helen choose Thomas as a cover-up..."
She said and looked at the pocket watch in Ah Fu's hand, "Maybe it was not a coincidence, she did it on purpose."
"She took advantage of Thomas. His admiration for her killed him ”
Zhong Ning was so involved that he didn't remember that there was a seducer in Helen's body, "Using emotions to kill people? She wanted Thomas to die and Thomas really died obediently?"
Ran Ran blinked, this Of course, part of it was Nian's mind control ability at work, but she couldn't tell the servants of the castle.
Doctor Bai smiled at Zhong Ning. Zhong Ning was stunned for a while and finally came to his senses.
But the strange thing is...the servants in the castle became silent. Their silence undoubtedly confirmed Zhong Ning's ridiculous question.
It took a long time for Ah Fu to speak, with a somewhat apologetic smile on his old face.
"If it is the order of the masters, there seems to be nothing we can do."
"Just like if the earl asked me to die immediately, I will definitely do it."
Those present. All eight people, no matter who they were, looked shocked.
They are people from the outside world and cannot understand the decadent and backward systems and concepts of this world.
Armand shook his head slightly at Alfred, "Don't tell Elizabeth this."
Ranran looked at Armand with a little surprise, and saw him saying gently: "You can't understand us, just like we can't understand you."
"The system is as deeply rooted as the concept. Everything we have experienced It will leave unchangeable traces on our bodies."
Ranran was stunned. She looked at Armand's relieved smile and was extremely horrified.
"...Who are we?"
Armand took Ran Ran's hand, bent down, and placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.
"Of course it's you, guests from outside the world."
