Chapter 9 The Story of Constance
The central tower living room, after Leah leaves.
Except for the servants guarding the doors leading to various rooms, only Xiaodie and Elena were left.
The two people walked to the coffee table and sat together.
"Elena, do you have something to tell me?"
"I was helping Dr. Edward down below, and I heard something related to Mr. Pianist."
"What's the matter, please tell me right away"
"The pianist is in a dungeon now, did you know?"
"Dungeon, impossible, that's not what Mother said."
"Not long ago, I saw that the prisoners in the dungeon were unwilling to eat black bread, so they threw away all the things. The guards were disposing of them."
"Oh my god, brown bread, isn't that something for the animals to eat?"
"Second Miss, if you talk like this, it will hurt my heart, you know!"
"What does this mean?"
"Many families in our village cannot afford brown bread at all. They only eat potatoes every day."
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you. My parents have always been very good to the people in the territory. It seems that your family is not in our territory, right?"
"Okay, I'm a little too excited. The master and his wife are indeed good to the people in the territory, but this does not mean that every lord is so kind."
Just then a servant hurriedly walked in from the door leading downstairs.
After he saw Elena, he immediately walked over to the two of them.
"Hello, Miss Second!"
Xiaodie glanced at the servant and said nothing.
"Elena, why are you still chatting here? There is an injured person who is in a very critical condition. Dr. Edward is anxious for your help. Please get there quickly."
"Okay, I'll go back right away"
"Doctor Edward, has he come to pester you again? Maybe it would be a good idea for you to agree to his proposal."
"I don't want to marry a man that much older."
Looking at Elena's back, Xiaodie frowned.
Let’s go upstairs to see my father first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.
In Xiaodie's heart, her father is a great person and nothing will happen to him.
When Xiaodie walked to the room, she heard Contense say that he believed Miss Mary's words.
She saw her father lying on the bed at the door and strode towards the hospital bed.
At this time, Butler Xiong thought of the scene he saw in the corridor before.
"Did Miss Mary capture the loyal Contense just by picking the lock in the corridor for a while? This woman is really terrible!!"
Contense looked at everyone's gaze: "I believe there is a woman who looks very similar to Miss Mary, and she was most likely hiding in our castle last night."
"Is there any evidence to prove what you said?"
"Mr. Butler, have you forgotten the conversation we just heard between the captured officer and the pianist in the dungeon?"
"Are you talking about the woman named Candy?"
"Yes, that's her. Candy was one of my students in the military academy. When I first saw Miss Mary, I thought I saw her.
But later I discovered that there was nothing similar between the two of them except their appearance. I roughly investigated Miss Mary's background and found that there was no way she could be my former student.
Based on what Butler Xiong and I heard outside the dungeon, this should be the case.
A total of three people found Director Chandler last night. They were Candy, Poison and No Ice. It is now known that Poison is dead, No Ice is missing, and Candy is missing. Moreover, she was not with her two companions and the police officers.
To the hills and beaches.
So I suspect that Candy had sneaked into the castle yesterday. For example, after the shooting, Mr. Baron let the townspeople enter the castle, and that woman was probably among them.
Many strange things that happened in the castle last night were probably planned by her. The officer who led the army was also with the woman named Candy, and that army was specially used by the military to deal with Mr. Baron.
"
Contense finished these words in one breath and waited for everyone's reaction.
Except for Xiaodie who walked to her father's bedside, everyone else looked at Contants, thinking about what he said.
In order to drag herself away from the bad things that happened last night, Mary had to say that she was kidnapped by a woman who looked very much like herself.
But she was not prepared to betray her sister, although what she did last night made her very angry.
But I will always find a way to get back the pain I suffered last night.
But I saw Contense gradually dig out his sister.
Mary thinks Candy is going to be in trouble now!
But she wanted to save herself first, so she pretended to be wronged and looked at the floor with her head down.
At this time, a shrill scream rang out from somewhere in the castle.
Butler Xiong and Contense looked at each other and ran out together.
Antasia and Tricia stood in the corridor with sad faces.
They had come to take a nap in the room allocated to them yesterday afternoon.
So when they came down from the central tower, they thought they could easily find their rooms.
But when I actually stood in the corridor, I looked at the same door.
They couldn't tell which room was theirs.
Do you still need to find someone to ask? It would be too embarrassing and would become the laughing stock of everyone.
The room keys have been tied to their wrists with a strap since noon yesterday.
Antaesia took the key from her wrist and said to Tricia.
"There are only four rooms here. We use the key to open each door. It takes up to ten times. The one that can be opened is naturally our room."
"You are right, let's get started."
There was a "click" sound.
Xie Sheng finally unlocked the balcony door.
The reason why he came here was because when he finally entered Mary's room last night, he accidentally saw a key thrown under the bed.
But he was in a hurry to help Miss Mary untie the rope. He just glanced at it and had no intention of picking up the key.
But then I remembered that I had sneaked into Mary's room several times last night, and that was the only time I saw the key.
This shows that the key was probably dropped there when the baron was kidnapped.
Maybe it just fell on the edge of the bed at first, and then was kicked under the bed when someone moved around.
If it weren't for the lemure being more suitable to crawl towards, he wouldn't have intentionally walked on the ground, and wouldn't have been able to see the key under the bed.
No matter what, pick it up and try it on any door to see if it is the master key to the castle.
Xie Sheng entered the room, ran to the bed, lifted the sheets, and found the key still there.
He held the key tightly and now needed to test it on the door.
The locks on the main door of the room and the balcony are the same.
