According to Chiyuketsu, the north side of the third floor of the villa was originally used to store miscellaneous items. Usually, other than the servants of the villa who routinely cleaned the place, almost no one would go there.
In the few days after she first saw the black shadow, she had asked the servants who were in charge of cleaning about the situation there.
However, the servants did not find anything strange.
The little girl did not have the courage to go there herself, so in the end, the matter was left unsettled.
However, after discovering that there was something suspected of being 'unclean' in her house, the little girl began to become a little paranoid. Not only did she stick to her parents all day long, she did not even dare to turn off the lights to sleep at night.
In the end, her parents had no choice but to take her to a psychiatrist.
After saying this, the girl did not continue speaking, but Xu Shenxing could almost guess that the car accident must have happened when the girl's parents took her to see a psychiatrist.
"Are, are we really going?"
The girl behind Xu Shenxing was like a newborn quail, trembling as she asked anxiously.
If he remembered correctly, this was the twelfth time she had asked this question …
"If you're really scared, you don't have to go. Mo Li and I are enough."
Xu Shenxing sighed. Originally, he wanted the girl to go with them so that she could give him directions or something. However, the girl had been hiding behind him all this time. She did not even dare to look forward, let alone give him directions.
The expression on Chiyuketsu's face was constantly changing like an amoeba. It was obvious that she was struggling in her heart.
After a while, she raised her head. Although her frightened look did not change, her watery eyes revealed a look full of determination.
"I want to go … At least, at least I want to know what killed my parents!"
Xu Shenxing showed some appreciation. He was now considered to have seen a lot. When a normal person encountered a supernatural phenomenon that was enough to destroy their worldview, he naturally knew how terrible their reaction would be.
In fact, even some supernatural enthusiasts would be afraid when they came into contact with a real supernatural phenomenon. That kind of love was based purely on the mentality of seeking novelty, after all, it was just a hobby of Ye Gong.
But Yi Qiuyue was different. She was obviously afraid of that kind of thing. In this case, even if she didn't go, no one would blame her. But in order to give an explanation to her deceased parents, she still wanted to go with Xu Shenxing to the place where the black shadow was, even if she was shaking like a vibrating phone.
Originally, Xu Shenxing thought that if they wanted to go upstairs, they would have to use the high-class marble stairs in the central hall. This was because he had wandered around the villa twice and could not find the other stairs. The problem was that the central hall looked like a mourning hall, and there was a group of people mourning in the mourning hall. it was obviously not an atmosphere where they could casually go upstairs.................
Just as he was considering whether he should simply find a piece of black cloth to cover his face and bring the two girls to barge in, the girl who had been timidly following behind him opened her mouth to speak.
"Turn right here."
Xu Shenxing was stunned at first because if they turned left, they would reach the main hall. If they turned right, who knew which corner they would end up in?
But he immediately reacted. Damn it, the owner of this villa is here. It won't be difficult to find another staircase!
Not long after, the girl led Xu Shenxing and Mo Li to a hidden wooden spiral staircase. According to Chiyuketsu, this staircase was usually used by the servants when they went out to fool around with her father or when they were escaping from her mother's pursuit because of their fooling around.
This information was so overwhelming that Xu Shenxing could not help but wonder what his mother was like after she remarried. Why did it feel like she was so fierce?
Without further ado, with Chiyuketsu leading the way, Xu Shenxing quickly arrived at the corridor on the north side of the third floor.
The layout of the corridor was not much different from the rest of the villa. The only difference was that there were not many windows and there were some problems with the design. The lighting was not good, so compared to the other corridors, it was a little darker.
"That thing just now was standing here, right?" Xu Shenxing walked to the window they saw in the courtyard and began to investigate.
In any case, he thought that there were two possibilities for what happened in the courtyard.
The first was, of course, that there was a monster lurking in the villa, trying to take the heads of the Cao couple and little Chiyuketsu. But if that was the case, the monster lurked in the house for so long without making a move. In the end, it ran outside to find a car and killed the Cao couple, leaving only the little girl alone. It felt a little strange … What was the meaning of lurking in the villa?
The second possibility was that the black shadow was just a phantom. Additionally, this phantom had to be created through the principle of optics. Because traditional illusions that targeted at the brain or nerves of humans were as useless to Xu Shenxing as using water splash on an iron shell chrysalis...
To be honest, Xu Shenxing was leaning towards the second guess. After all, if the monster could really stay in the villa for so long without anyone noticing, there was no need for it to pretend to be a ghost to scare the little girl, right? It could have just taken an ax or a kitchen knife and chopped the Cao couple to death behind them while they were asleep. At most, it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath. After chopping them into seventeen or eighteen pieces, it would be difficult to disguise it as a suicide or a love-hate relationship.
However, after a careful investigation, Xu Shenxing found some clues. Putting aside what the little girl saw a few days ago, at least just now, there was probably something standing here for a while.
Because the two masters of the house were in trouble, and the little girl was hospitalized because of a fracture, the servants in the house did not clean the house according to their usual habits. As a result, there was a lot of dust on the ground. Ordinary people would not be able to see it with their poor eyesight, but Xu Shenxing could see a pair of unusual large footprints on the ground.
Unfortunately, he was not a criminal investigation student, so he could not see anything from the footprints.
In addition, there seemed to be some strange dust on the windowsill and near the footprints. This made Xu Shenxing a little concerned. He touched his pocket, took out a one-yuan bill, and wrapped the dust in the bill. He planned to ask Xingyan A Meng if she recognized this kind of dust when he went back.
Just as Xu Shenxing was about to continue looking for other clues in the vicinity, his phone rang.
In the slightly dim, empty and quiet corridor, the three of them were seriously investigating a supernatural mystery. In this situation, which was quite like a horror story, suddenly, a burst of singing broke the silence, causing Chiyuketsu to look at Xu Shenxing with a complicated gaze.
The latter thickened his skin and coughed dryly before picking up the phone.
"I'm your aunt." "Ahem."
"I'm still your … ahem, aunt. What's the matter?"
Xu Shenxing subconsciously wanted to complain, but then he remembered that the number seemed to be his aunt's phone number, so he coughed dryly and corrected himself.
"Where did you go, kid?" His aunt's voice sounded a little dissatisfied.
"Wandering around." Xu Shenxing thought for a while and answered concisely.
"… Forget it." His aunt seemed to be choked by his answer, then sighed, "There's something important now. Hurry up and come back to the hall, okay?" "Okay."
