Li Xuan and Da Lian were not in a high mood, so they didn't bother to provoke her. After all, this little girl is not very tall and her strength is not very good, but she has a very difficult personality. I will kick my leg without hesitation!
Although it is said that the little girl's size is fine even if she is kicked, but the metal armor on Dalian's feet made Li Xuan give up this idea and continue reading.
"Dangdang." The polite knock on the door made Li Xuan raise his head. Not far away, a middle-aged man looked at Li Xuan and said, "Is it convenient for you now, Mr. Desward."
Dalian glanced at the middle-aged man, then continued to raise the book in his hand to read, not going to pay attention to this guy.
But Li Xuan could only stand up, after all, no matter how you looked at it, he didn't look inconvenient.
"I'm Martin Gis, please give me your advice." The man who called himself Martin also came in and held out his hand.
"To each other, I am very sorry Mr. Keith, I have a serious cleanliness, please forgive me." Li Xuan stretched out his gloved right hand, which stunned Martin for a moment.
However, Martin recovered in the next second, held Li Xuan's hand and said with a smile: "A beautiful person like you, if you don't have a cleanliness habit, it will be troublesome."
The corner of Li Xuan's mouth twitched involuntarily. Although the other party cleverly avoided the topic of gloves, he brought up the matter of appearance, which made Li Xuan almost lose his grip on opening the king's treasure...
Chapter 12 Explanation
"Mr. Keith, I'm sorry, may I ask..." British people's names are first name and last name, which is exactly the opposite of China, Japan and other countries. Unless they are very close, other people can only call each other. Surname not first name.
"Oh, I'm Estella's cousin, and I'm her guardian now. Once a week, I'll check on the child like this. Anyway, this place is deep in the mountains." Martin saw Li Xuan He didn't want to mention his appearance too much, so he suddenly realized that as a man, he would prefer to be called handsome rather than being called beautiful by others.
Li Xuan frowned and asked in doubt: "Is it you who let her live here?"
"Well, I also arranged for the servant." Martin didn't mean to hide anything, so he nodded and told the truth.
"Then why did you lock her up here? Is she afraid of who will hurt her, or who will she hurt?" Li Xuan looked at Martin suspiciously, pointing the problem straight to the point!
Martin looked at Li Xuan helplessly and said, "It seems that you have misunderstood a bit. It is not my decision to let this child stay here."
"She wants to stay here?" Li Xuan looked at Martin differently. Although he knew that there were people with weird personalities, there must be a reason for this, right?
Martin turned around, and said sadly: "That's not the case, it's a curse, the child has reached the age of marriage, and it is natural that someone will come to talk about marriage, and there have been things that have developed to the point of engagement; but engagement Without exception, they were killed."
"Killed?!" Li Xuan looked at Martin in surprise. This kind of joke was not random, let alone talking about his cousin!
"More than that, you know the child's parents, right?"
"I heard that he passed away in his early years, could it be that..."
"That's right, he was killed, and several other servants were also..."
"Then who is it? Hasn't it been checked?"
"I don't know, but what all the dead have in common is that they all wanted to take Estella out of the house, so they were cursed. They checked many times, but they couldn't find anything after all."
Martin paused for a while before saying: "Yes, it is the cursed book by Colonel Learburn. The reason is the book. The book that Colonel obtained is still hidden somewhere in the house. If you want to say it, then The child is controlled by the phantom book..."
Li Xuan walked into the house with two books he liked to read, looked at Da Lian who was still reading calmly on the bed, and said with a smile, "How is it?
"Yes, it's different from Weiss's hobbies. It's very interesting. We don't have books written with foreign laws like this in our family." Dalian said while watching with a calm expression.
"Really, that's good." Li Xuan put a stack of books on the chair and caught Dalian's attention.
Dalian glanced at it and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is that?"
"It's related to Colonel Learburn's records and diaries. There should be relevant records in it. There must be a reason for people to disappear and be killed for no reason." Li Xuan calmly picked up a diary and began to read it.
"Then what do you know?" Dalian asked directly, as if she didn't like Li Xuan's appearance.
"I know that this kind of murder happened fifty years ago. It was not a simple murder. After a period of time, this incident suddenly stopped strangely, but I don't know why. It will start again after ten years, and the other party will definitely not be an outsider, even if it is an outsider, fifty years is enough to turn a burly young man into an old man, I don't believe it was done by an old man." Li Xuan shook his head and continued to look at the diary in his hand.
He already had a preliminary guess, but before there was no solid evidence, he still couldn't believe that it was him who did it.
"It seems that you are not useless." Da Lian praised Li Xuan and continued to read.
But Li Xuan glanced outside, and saw that Martinghis, who had talked to him not long ago, was now holding Estella's hand and walking out with a lamp in his hand.
"What's the matter?" Dalian asked aloud when she saw Li Xuan looking out of the window in a daze.
Li Xuan pointed out the window: "It's very interesting, it's Miss Lilburn and Mr. Keith."
"Are those two people in that ridiculous relationship?" Dalian asked quickly, as if interested.
"But Mr. Keith seems to be married," Li Xuan said in confusion.
Da Lian said with a face of relief: "That's why I said it was a ridiculous relationship." At this point, Da Lian closed the book in his hand, and said with a face that I saw the truth: "So that's the case. , that bearded man must have asked you to find the cursed book, and then took the opportunity to take that woman out of the mansion and hide it near his own mansion."
"I'm really willing to bow down to your imagination." Li Xuan looked at Da Lian with a dumbfounded smile.
But Dalian said with a smile on her face: "Let me say it a few times, what a pity, Xuan."
"Uh, so what does that mean?" Li Xuan felt that he might not have talked to anyone for a long time, and his mind was a little stiff, and he couldn't even understand what the other person said.
However, at this time, the sound of the music box rang again, and the quiet sound spread throughout the villa. The empty villa inexplicably gave people a feeling of fear, as if something would appear in the darkness.
Li Xuan couldn't help squinting his eyes, the scarlet light flickered in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through everything.
But in the next second Li Xuan smiled and said: "It's time, I'm about to go to bed too."
"Then what's the matter?" Dalian sat on the bed and still didn't show the slightest expression, as if Li Xuan had nothing to do with her no matter what, Li Xuan couldn't help but maliciously wonder if he stretched out his claws to grab her chest She won't react at all...
Chapter 13 The Book of the Fetus
"Speaking of which, it's not 'so what'? Your bedroom is next door, Da Lian." Li Xuan shook his head, shaking this thought out of his mind.
And Dalian turned his head to look at the door with a solemn expression, and after a look of fear flashed across his face, he turned his head again, closed his eyes and said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about me."
