Chapter 1347 The Strange Past (The Catworm Flipping on the Bed)

  It must be said that this girl named Saeki Ryoko is really good. Because when everyone turned to the history of the Baifan family, the first thing they saw was a book - historical materials?

No, or rather, the historical data is not very accurate, it is more like unofficial history, and it should have been filmed from a certain record book.

All in all, it contains a wonderful story.

It was the Taisho era. The Shiraho family had two daughters but no sons. This disappointed the head of the Shiraho family at the time, because generally speaking, the sons would inherit the family business. Although the Shiraho family was not a wealthy family at that time, they still had some property.

Fortunately, it was no longer a feudal era, and girls' schools were on the rise. Therefore, the head of the Baifan family had no choice but to send his eldest daughter to a girls' school, hoping that she could inherit the family business.

This was naturally shocking at the time, but the head of the Baifan family had no choice but to do so. After all, in this way, his daughter would inherit the family business. As long as he married a daughter-in-law, then the Baifan family's property would still be his, right?

The eldest daughter is also very hardworking. She loves reading very much and has good grades. She has been working hard to inherit the family business and fulfill her father's expectations of her.

Well...if that's the case, then this isn't much of a story.

When the eldest daughter was fifteen years old, an accident happened.

Their mother gave birth to another child, also a boy.

Although there is no detailed description in the record, the people present are not fools and naturally know that this may be good news for the father, but it is definitely not good news for the eldest daughter.

Facts proved that their guess was correct. After the birth of the younger son, the father loved him very much and naturally neglected the eldest daughter.

As for the result… although it was not written in the records, it was written that the youngest son died “accidentally” three years after he was born.

As for the reasons, those who understand will understand, and those who guess can guess it.

The accidental death of his beloved youngest son naturally made the father heartbroken. If the story ended here, it would just be an ordinary family ethics drama plot, which would not be surprising.

But this is just the background, the main part of the show is what comes next.

Just when the father could not accept his son's death, he got a mysterious treasure from the materials circulating abroad, that is - the secret medicine that can bring the dead back to life!

Of course, this thing looks fake at first glance to most people, but a father who lost his son is obviously willing to try anything.

As for the result...it's not written in the records. After all, this is a record, not a novel, so it's impossible to write everything clearly, but the ending is written.

The father died a violent death, the two daughters also died tragically, and the mother went crazy and committed suicide. Later, a distant relative of the Shirafan family learned about the situation and came. Although it is unknown what he knew, after this distant relative inherited the Shirafan family's property, he flattened the old Japanese-style house of the Shirafan family and built a Western-style house on it.

The tragic death of Bai Fan's family at that time was called some kind of curse, and some people linked it to the secret medicine that could bring the dead back to life, and then this record came into being.

"Is there such a thing?"

After reading the information, Huangmao said that he couldn't understand it, but I was deeply shocked.

So his ancestor was actually a distant relative of the Baifan family, and he inherited the property and built this Western-style mansion after all the people in the Baifan family died?

However, his hot girlfriend has a more peculiar view.

"Huh? In other words, a family of five died here? So horrible?"

"………………………"

Hearing the hot girl's complaints, the yellow-haired boy and the bespectacled boy shuddered and swallowed their saliva. They didn't know these stories before, and they just thought it might be some strange custom of the Baifan family. But now when they know that a whole family died on this land, and their ancestors deliberately flattened it and built a Western-style house, and also specially asked them to live here when they were sixteen years old...

This is scary, okay!

Although in modern times, sixteen years old is still in school and is not considered a special age.

But in the Taisho era, people could get married and have children at the age of sixteen!

If you think about it this way, then it’s a bit scary to ask them to celebrate their sixteenth birthday here!

  And my ancestors did the same thing, so why must we rebuild it here?

"This, this is just a legend, it may not be true."

The yellow-haired man put down the notebook. Although he spoke toughly, one could tell from his shaking hands that he was not as relaxed as he said.

"A secret medicine that can bring the dead back to life? Is this true?"

Sha Jiuye was also very confused, but Duanmu Huai didn't care.

"The whole family is dead. If this medicine was useful, wouldn't it have been useful long ago?"

"Uh... that's true... then what should we do now?"

"Keep looking."

Duanmu Huai thought about it.

"Whether this is true or not, we don't have any clues right now, so let's just take this as a clue... What do you think?"

The yellow-haired man had no idea what was going on and hadn't recovered yet, while Sakuya stared at the records in the notebook, flipped through it again, and then began to mutter to himself.

"basement………"

"Ok?"

"According to what's written above, the Shiraho family's house used to be an old Japanese-style house, but it was later demolished and rebuilt into a Western-style building. I remember that in many historical dramas, those old Japanese-style houses have secret passages and basements... And, speaking of treasures, aren't they usually kept in the basement?"

“That seems to be correct.”

In Duanmu Huai's memory, the old Japanese houses were like courtyard houses, all of which were one-story houses. But it was indeed as Sha Jiuye said, if people couldn't build high-rise buildings, they could dig basements, which were hidden and convenient. Who wouldn't like it?

As for whether this foreign-style house has a basement... Duanmu Huai looked at Huangmao, who was stunned for a moment.

"Basement? I know there's a wine cellar under the kitchen, but there doesn't seem to be a basement anywhere else..."

"Anyway, let's go take a look first."

There were no detectives present, and everyone was confused by the scene. However, with Duanmu Huai leading the way, the others did not object, so they went down the second floor and then came to the first floor again. However, as soon as they walked down the stairs, they saw the gangster walking over with a gloomy face.

"Hey, where's your old dog? Where did he go?"

Looking at the society guy, Huangmao couldn't help but mock him, and the latter glared at him, then looked at Duanmu Huai next to him—without saying anything.

Or rather, I didn't dare to speak.

"What's it to you? Where is Mika?"

"If it's missing, we're still looking for it. At least we're not like someone who only pays attention to his own dog... Hmm? What's that smell?"

Just when Huang Mao was about to mock the social man, suddenly, a burst of fragrant aroma came, which also made everyone stunned. Then they followed the smell and came to the restaurant.

When Huangmao pushed open the door of the restaurant, he saw that lunch had already been served. It looked like steak. The grilled steak exuded a rich aroma that made people drool.

“Is this lunch?”

Seeing this, everyone was surprised, and the yellow-haired man rushed directly into the kitchen next to the restaurant.

"Mrs. Mikawa, Ms. Ayabe, are you there?"

Pushing open the kitchen door, Huangmao shouted loudly, but there was no one in the kitchen and the kitchen utensils looked clean and tidy, as if they had never been used.

Then everyone followed Huangmao to the wine cellar below the kitchen and took a look around—there was no one inside either.

"It's strange."

Walking out of the wine cellar, Huangmao looked confused.

"The meal must have been prepared by Grandma Sanchuan and her friends, but where are they?"

"Anyway, let's eat first."

At this time, the hot girl grabbed the yellow-haired guy's arm and started complaining.

"I'm hungry..."

After hearing that, the others also felt hungry, which was no wonder. After all, they heard screams before they finished their breakfast, and then they ran around looking for people. They were already starving. When they smelled the aroma of grilled steak, they immediately felt their stomachs growling. "Why don't we look for them after we finish our meal?"

At this moment, Huangmao wiped his saliva and made a suggestion.

However, just as he finished speaking, the gangster snorted coldly.

"madness."

"Who are you scolding?"

It was obvious that the yellow-haired guy and the social guy really didn't get along. When he heard what the social guy said, he immediately retorted. The social guy straightened his tie and looked at the yellow-haired guy like he was an idiot.

"Of course it's you. Think about it carefully. Someone has died in this mansion, and Mika is missing. None of us have a motive. The only ones with a motive are naturally the two maids! After all, that woman was killed because she wanted to investigate the ceremony, and Mika disappeared afterwards. You also know very well that every birthday ceremony is controlled by those two women, so only they have the motive to kill and take Mika away! And now the food placed here, who knows if it is poisoned! Do you dare to eat it?"

“Wow…this…”

I have to say that the social guy's logic is quite reasonable, and everyone's faces changed slightly. It is indeed as the social guy said, the people here have no motives. Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye are Mika's friends, and they came to celebrate her birthday. They know nothing about the ceremony of the Baifan family, and the others only know that there is this ceremony, but except for a certain idiot glasses, no one else thought much about it.

In this case, they actually had no motive to kill someone who tried to investigate the ritual. Only the two maids who had been working here had such a motive. Moreover, they had been living here and must know the situation here better than anyone else. If there were any secret rooms or secret passages in this house that outsiders didn't know about, it wouldn't be unreasonable!

According to this reasoning, it is not unreasonable that the other party wanted to poison the others. After all, they cannot leave now because it is raining heavily outside. When the rain stops, these people just need to leave and call the police, and the police will definitely investigate the two maids.

But as long as they kill everyone, they can make up whatever they want!

Thinking of this, everyone was a little hesitant, looking at the steaming steak on the table, not knowing whether they should eat it.

The yellow-haired man looked at the sneering gangster, then looked at the steak, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Eat! Why not? It's better to die of fullness than starvation! Don't listen to your nonsense! Maybe there's no poison in it at all!"

As he spoke, Huangmao sat down, cut a piece of meat and started eating.

"Well, it's delicious and smells so good!"

I don't know if it was because he was very hungry or the food was really delicious, but Huang Mao ate it happily. He sighed while eating and took a sip of red wine from time to time. He was so cool. Seeing that Huang Mao didn't react after eating, the hot girl hesitated for a moment and just sat next to Huang Mao and started eating. Duanmu Huai also sat opposite Huang Mao and started to enjoy his lunch.

Since Duanmu Huai had already eaten, Sha Jiuye of course did not hesitate and sat down to eat. Only the social man and the boy with glasses stared at everyone eating.

The social guy made it clear that he didn't want to eat it, but seeing how happily others were eating, the boy with glasses couldn't help but quietly sit beside them and cut a piece of meat to eat.

The yellow-haired guy was the fastest, and since there wasn't much steak to go around, he finished it all in no time. Then he took a sip of red wine, looking very happy.

“Oh… Delicious, delicious! This is the first time I’ve tasted such a delicious steak. It feels different from ordinary steaks, and the texture seems to be more delicate…”

While shaking his head and making comments, the yellow-haired man turned to look at the social guy.

"It's a pity your dog is not here, otherwise you could let it test the poison."

"Huh, are you kidding me?"

Hearing the yellow-haired man's words, the gangster snorted coldly.

"It would be better to let you try the poison."

"So do you want to eat it? If you don't, I will."

As he spoke, the yellow-haired man reached out for the remaining steak, but was slapped away by the gangster.

"I didn't say I wouldn't eat!"

After saying this, the social man glared at the yellow-haired man unhappily, then sat down and started eating.

Duanmu Huai glanced at the society man and asked.

"By the way, is your dog sick?"

"of course not!"

When talking about his dog, the social man suddenly became proud.

"I have been giving it vaccinations regularly, and last night, I even gave it a bath! It is very healthy! It doesn't have any disease!"

"oh……………"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai nodded.

That's fine.

Everyone was tired after working all day and was very hungry, so they ate a lot and soon finished all the steaks. Of course, it was not a good idea to leave the plates here, so everyone went to the kitchen and put the plates in the sink, planning to wash them later.

"I don't know if Mika has anything to eat..."

Sakuya was still worried about Mika. After all, it had been half a day since she disappeared. In such heavy rain, she definitely couldn't get out. She might still be locked up somewhere. If she didn't even have food to eat, she must be starving now...

"Do not worry."

Huangmao felt much more relaxed after eating and drinking.

"There are plenty of ingredients here. As long as we find Meijia, we can easily make a big meal for her. Look..."

As he spoke, Huangmao opened the door of the kitchen refrigerator, and then...

"Wow!!"

  The next moment, the yellow-haired man screamed and fell to the ground in fright!

Hearing Huangmao's scream, everyone turned their heads to look, and then they were all shocked!

In the refrigerator's freezer, there was a dog's head placed on a plate, staring at them with bared teeth!

"ah-----!"

"Alas…………!"

At this moment, even the hot girl and Sakuya were startled, and the plates in their hands fell directly to the ground and broke into pieces with a "ping pong" sound.

But no one cared about this at the moment. They all stared at the dog head in the refrigerator, their minds blank.

  Then, everyone realized that what they had eaten for lunch was not steak at all!

"Woo————!!"

The social man was pale, covered his mouth and ran out first, while the others also looked unhappy. Sha Jiuye also pressed his chest and felt nauseous. However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai reached out and pressed Sha Jiuye's shoulder.

"Okay, Sakuya, don't worry, it's okay."

"No, okay?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's sudden comfort, Sha Jiuye was stunned for a moment, while Duanmu Huai nodded.

"I just asked that guy, didn't he say his dog is healthy, not sick, and has been vaccinated. So don't worry, it's okay to eat it."

"Well…………………"

  Hearing this, everyone was speechless. They said why did Duanmu Huai ask the social guy such a strange question just now, and after all this time... was it just for this?

Compared to other people, Duanmu Huai was very calm about this. It's not like he had never been to a dog meat festival and had eaten dog meat before. You know, dog meat is also called fragrant meat and ground sheep. It tastes really good, of course, the premise is that you can cook it. If you can't cook it, all meat will be wasted.

Having said that, this trick is only useful against those bastard foreigners.

Duanmu Huai looked calm as he looked at the dog head in front of him. He could understand why the other party did this. If a foreigner ate a steak made of dog meat, and the dog meat was so delicious, he would definitely feel a heavy sense of guilt, which would be more devastating than eating a human.

Maybe he would just bite his tongue and shoot himself in the head. It is not impossible for him to die to pay his debt. After all, foreigners are like that. They love dogs more than their own sons. If you ask them to eat their own sons, they probably won't resist. But it's different if it's a dog. It would be more painful than eating their own father. He really planned to hang himself.

In the game, it means [a foreigner finds out he has eaten dog meat, is shocked and cannot accept it, and his SAN value is -10]

What about the Chinese? Dog meat is so delicious, why do we need to reduce our SAN value? Why not have more? (Sanity +10) Not bad.

So for Duanmu Huai...his current feeling is...

  I wonder if this dog head can be made... ?
