Chapter 463 Clues in the Study
Zhang Tuohai sat on the sofa bored.
There was no mobile phone to play with, no one to chat with, and not even any melon seeds, which made him feel extremely bored.
He looked at the huge floor clock not far away from time to time. Half an hour had passed, and all the people who had left had never looked back. Not a single person had returned.
"Could it be that these people discovered something and went to explore it on their own?"
Zhang Tuohai felt a little nervous.
[You can try to go to the study to get further clues. ]
The prompt system prompted.
"Yeah, anyway, there are no restrictions on my activities, I can also go look for clues."
Zhang Tuohai stood up and asked the butler who had been standing beside him, "Excuse me, when will the second test begin?"
"When it's time to start, it will start naturally."
The butler said expressionlessly.
If he wasn’t wearing an exoskeleton, Zhang Tuohai would definitely beat this guy up.
The Riddler is the most abominable thing.
"Okay, can I move freely now?"
Zhang Tuohai asked tentatively.
"Of course, you are one of the candidates for succession to the will, not a prisoner. We will not restrict your personal behavior."
"As long as it doesn't break the rules."
The housekeeper said calmly.
"Okay, where is the study? I want to take a look."
Zhang Tuohai said.
Hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, the housekeeper was slightly stunned, and then said: "Second floor, on the left, the second door."
"Thank you very much."
Zhang Tuohai walked towards the second floor.
Walking on the thick carpet to the second floor, Zhang Tuohai pushed open a wooden door according to the housekeeper's instructions.
What comes into view is a huge study.
Facing us is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, with sunlight shining all over the ground.
There was also a huge desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, on which were placed some stationery such as pens and ink, but not a single piece of paper.
Zhang Tuohai looked around.
There are wall-to-wall bookshelves on both sides, and a small ladder is placed in the corner for people to use.
Zhang Tuohai walked in and glanced at the books on the shelves on both sides.
The bookshelf on the left is filled with those large books in exquisite hard cover, neatly arranged in rows. It looks very stylish at first glance and has a great decorative effect.
The bookshelf on the right is filled with various miscellaneous books and periodicals, from "Alibuda" to "Treatment of Common Diseases of Bamboo Rat and 32 Methods", covering almost all categories that Zhang Tuohai can think of.
Zhang Tuohai even saw several erotic books placed openly in the center.
"How can I find clues in so many books?"
Looking at the densely packed books, Zhang Tuohai felt a bit overwhelmed. With so many books, it would probably take a lot of time just to read the titles, let alone look for clues among them.
[It is recommended to look through the second shelf on the left, the second shelf, the first book. ]
The prompt system popped up a prompt again.
Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up and he walked over immediately. Following the prompts of the game system, Zhang Tuohai found the book.
The title of the book is very simple, it’s called “Red Maple Manor”.
Zhang Tuohai took out the book, sat down next to the desk, and flipped through the pages one by one.
Zhang Tuohai discovered that this was a brief historical introduction to the manor and its residents.
According to the records in the book, this manor was built 30 years ago by the Earl of Windsor himself.
The Earl of Windsor had a son and a daughter. His son was named Jason, who was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Once after getting drunk, he suffered an unexpected cardiac arrest and died suddenly in the servants' bathroom on the second floor.
Her daughter Ivanka was fascinated by medicine, especially human dissection. According to rumors, Ivanka had been studying skin replacement experiments before her death.
As a result, due to overwork and operational errors, a fire broke out in the laboratory. When the fire was put out, only her charred body was found.
The Earl of Windsor was so grief-stricken that he fell seriously ill.
After he recovered from his illness, Earl Windsor converted the laboratory into a family clinic and said that he had received an oracle to give his property to the right person, but the person must pass his test.
The story ends here, and there is nothing further to follow.
"What is this situation?"
After reading the contents of the book, Zhang Tuohai was confused.
Only three characters are mentioned in the book, the old Earl of Windsor, his son Jason and his daughter Ivanka.
However, Jason and Ivanka are both dead, and the old Earl of Windsor is also dead, otherwise it would be impossible to leave a will.
But what about the clues?
Three dead people?
What kind of clue is this?
Not a word about those bullshit tests or what happened next.
Zhang Tuohai has a headache.
However, since the prompt system said that there are clues here, then there must be clues.
Zhang Tuohai kept flipping through the books, reading word by word, trying to find useful information from them.
However, after Zhang Tuohai checked it several times, he found that this was indeed the content.
Just when Zhang Tuohai was feeling discouraged, he suddenly thought of something.
He opened the book again and found the parts that he was more interested in.
Jason died in the servants' bathroom on the second floor, while Ivanka died in the former laboratory, now the family infirmary.
If we infer from the perspective of the supernatural, then there must be something dirty in these two places, and the resentful spirits of the dead must be lingering there.
"However, the world I live in should be scientific right?" Zhang Tuohai thought secretly in his heart.
However, when he thought of the talking fox, the black technology that could use the mysterious source stone to prolong life, and all kinds of weird clockwork technology, he was not sure again.
"In short, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. It's better to stay away from these two places as much as possible."
Zhang Tuohai thought secretly.
After flipping through the book again, Zhang Tuohai stood up and prepared to walk around the room to find some clues. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Tuohai hurriedly put "Red Maple Manor" back and replaced it with "How to Make a Mechanical Device That Is Useless".
After confirming that there were no omissions, Zhang Tuohai coughed softly and said, "Come in."
It was the maid who appeared at the door.
"Mr. Butler invites you to participate in the second game project."
The maid said.
"Thank you. I'll be right down."
Zhang Tuohai followed the maid downstairs.
At this time, Garrison, Otaku and the girl with the round fan had gathered in the hall.
However, Otaku and Garrison seemed to be chatting and laughing, and seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tuohai was shocked. When did they become so familiar with each other?
Formed an alliance?
However, if we form an alliance, shouldn't we do it quietly?
What are they trying to do by being so obvious?
Zhang Tuohai regained his composure and slowly walked down the stairs.
At this time, the butler came over with a tray.
The tray contained a Colt Python, three bullets, and a dice.
The butler threw out the magazine of the Colt Python, loaded three bullets in the order of 1 empty 23, then quickly turned the wheel and closed the magazine.
"This game is very simple. According to the order of the dice points, each person shoots himself in the head with a pistol. Those who survive move on to the next round, and those who die are automatically eliminated."
The butler handed the dice to Zhang Tuohai and said, "You are the last one to show up, so you roll first."
