Tokyo: This narration is wrong!

Then, he nodded slightly to everyone and said seriously,

"Welcome everyone, I am Hideyuki Tanimoto, the housekeeper here. I have already taken care of this place before everyone arrived. Now please follow me upstairs and take a look at your respective rooms."

"It turns out it's because Mr. Butler came early to clean it. No wonder it's so clean."

Oba Xiuyi said with a smile, because it was not his first time visiting the manor, so Oba Xiuyi knew the housekeeper.

Mr. Hideyuki Tanimoto's leather shoes are polished to a high shine, his silver hair is parted in the middle and he wears gold-rimmed glasses. He walks with a serious look. When he saw Keiji Yajima, who was casually dressed, he frowned slightly.

He stepped forward and adjusted Yajima Keiji's collar to ensure complete symmetry, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder coupled with a high degree of mysophobia.

Shirakawa had a basic understanding of Hideyuki Tanimoto.

The strange thing is, why didn't Miss Takahashi tell us that there is a housekeeper here?

Baichuan followed everyone's footsteps and went up to the second floor with doubts.

The only drawback in the villa may be the lack of light, so lights need to be turned on during the day.

The corridor on the second floor is inlaid with rows of lamps in the shape of goddesses holding up the sun. When these wall lamps are fully turned on, they illuminate the corridor in a warm orange color.

There are various famous paintings on the walls. Baichuan doesn't want to waste his appraisal skills to identify them. They are most likely authentic. After all, they belong to a noble family with long history.

Butler Hide Tanimoto walked at the front and introduced,

"There are 20 guest rooms here. Since I only come in the summer at the end of June and beginning of July, and in the winter at the end of November and beginning of December, I only arrive 2 days ahead of you. I only packed 15 rooms for you. This one is the large courtyard. Mr.

Hideyuki Tanimoto handed the key to the first door to Shuichi Oba, an old gentleman with a cane.

Later, they were given to lawyer Hiromi Ichimura, reporter Keisuke Koyama, makeup artist Asuka Kuramoto, mercenary Fu Tanita, construction engineer Tokuji Furuta, doctor Masao Seo, full-time wife Shizuru Hanada, modern poet Keiji Yajima, Anchor Kojima Aiko, painter John, graphic model Sally.

Finally, there are Shunji Nishi, Yoriko Tashiro, himself and Mei Chiyuki.

The order in which he gave the keys was completely based on age.

Therefore, Shirakawa and Chiyuki Mei live in the innermost room, Room 7 and Room 6 respectively.

The house number of each room is the corresponding number.

Hanada Jingliu was a little surprised. She and her husband came together and logically they should live together.

But she found that her husband didn't seem to object to this arrangement, so she didn't say anything.

"My boyfriend and I can just share a room."

Tashiro Yoriko took out the key and wanted to return it to the housekeeper Hideyuki Tanimoto.

But Tanimoto Hideyuki's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Tashiro Yoriko took back the key in fright.

Others were also shocked by the look in Mr. Butler's eyes just now, especially the timid women.

Qianxue Meiyi held Shirakawa's hand tightly.

"Everyone, please feel free to check in. In addition, the five innermost rooms have not been tidied up. Please do not go in. The attic is also locked. Please do not go up to the attic out of curiosity. There are no clues to the treasure you want in the attic."

"In addition, 8 am to 9 am, 12 pm to 1 pm, 6 pm to 7 pm are dining time, and 8 pm to 10 pm is dance time. Please be sure to stay in the villa during this time, and at other times It’s time for exploration for everyone.”

"Since you have come to the 'Rules' Manor, please be sure to follow the rules, otherwise your lives may be in danger."

The butler said with a serious face.

Everyone looked at each other, what rules does the manor have? What life is at risk?

They felt more and more that the butler was nagging. The young and energetic Nishi Shunji even laughed at the butler Hideyuki Tanimoto.

"That's enough, old man. Don't try to control us just because you suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. We are the honored guests invited by your master to hunt for treasure."

"That's right, you are just saying these things to scare us."

Tashiro Yiko also echoed, because she had just been glanced at by the butler, she had goosebumps all over her body, and she was very dissatisfied with Mr. Butler.

"Don't make any noise, everyone. Since the manor has such regulations, we just have to act in accordance with the regulations."

Shuichi Oba, as the eldest person present, took the initiative to stand up and smooth things over.

The discussion ends here.

The housekeeper left the second floor, and everyone checked into their respective rooms with their luggage.

Bai Chuan was surprised to find that there seemed to be no entrance to the attic on the second floor. Could it be hidden in a certain room?

Out of caution, Shirakawa contacted Yuran Takahashi through the intercom after returning to the room.

One is to test whether the walkie-talkie can be used normally, and the other is to ask some questions.

"Ms. Takahashi, is the name of the villa called 'Rules' Manor?"

"Ah, yes, this name was given by my father back then. The purpose was to make us children obedient, so we all don't like this manor. After we become adults, we rarely come here."

Takahashi Yulan seemed to be reminded of bad memories, and her tone was a little low.

"I'm sorry, Miss Takahashi, I still have a question."

"Kuragi-kun, please feel free to ask."

Takahashi Yuran's voice became intermittent, and the signal on the walkie-talkie was also extremely unstable.

But it is many times better than a mobile phone with no signal at all, and at least communication can continue.

Baichuan told the story about the housekeeper and asked,

"Is Mr. Hideyuki Tanimoto the butler you hired to look after the manor?"

There was suddenly a long silence on the other end of the phone.

…

There’s another chapter tonight!

The Secret of the 15th Manor (Revised)

"Miss Takahashi?"

Bai Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the sound of leather shoes tapping.

He turned around and saw the old butler Mr. Hideyuki Tanimoto, who had a stroke of silver hair, gold-rimmed glasses, a tuxedo, a rattle in his hand, and sharp leather shoes.

Hideyuki Tanimoto's eyes were cold with an unexplained joke, but there was an incongruous smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Young man, do you need help?"

If it weren't for the fact that he still had sense, Baichuan would have almost turned on his watch and fired an anesthesia needle.

At this time, Yulan Takahashi's voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Cangmu-kun, the signal was not good just now, can you hear me?"

"able."

Bai Chuan said.

"Mr. Hideyuki Tanimoto is an excellent steward. I believe that with him here, your life will be taken care of better. Kuraki-kun, please help find the treasure left by my father."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Shirakawa hung up the phone and looked at Hideyuki Tanimoto,

"Mr. Butler, you just said that if you break the rules, you will encounter accidents. It's just scary, right?"

Bai Chuan asked.

"No, this is the truth. I used to work here as a housekeeper when I was young. This was the rule my seniors told me at the time. I have also seen with my own eyes that accidents happened to people who did not follow the rules."

Hideyuki Tanimoto said with a serious face.

Bai Chuan took the initiative to invite him into the room for a chat. The old housekeeper stepped into Bai Chuan's room, looked at the backpack placed casually on the bed, and immediately frowned.

"You don't mind if I help you tidy it up, young man."

"do not mind."

Hideyuki Tanimoto took out his white gloves from his pocket, put them on, then picked up his backpack from the bed, put it in the vertical cabinet of the wardrobe, and straightened out the folds of the backpack so that the two sides were completely symmetrical. After closing the wardrobe, he put his hands on the bed and gently smoothed the wrinkles on the quilt from top to bottom, so that the dented area previously pressed by the backpack would be at the same level as the surrounding area. Only then did he reveal a satisfied smile.

However, when he raised his head and saw Bai Chuan about to throw the coat he had taken off on the bed, his brows furrowed again.

He reached out and took Bai Chuan's coat. In just 10 seconds, he folded the clothes into tofu blocks and put the tofu blocks in the closet.

He smiled soothingly again.

The corners of Bai Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, and his calm expression soon returned.

He was very worried that the housekeeper, who had a high degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder and mysophobia, would feel highly uncomfortable because of his crooked mouth expression, so he would reach out to his face with his white-gloved hands and rub himself into a completely symmetrical shape. special human being.

"Mr. Butler, can you answer me now?"

Bai Chuan asked.

Hideyuki Tanimoto took off his white gloves, shook the dust off them, folded them, and put them in his pocket, his expression returned to a serious expression.

He seemed to be recalling the strange events that had happened in the manor, and said slowly,

"When Mr. Takahashi was still alive, the hot springs here could cure Mr. Takahashi's leg problems every winter, so he liked to come here very much. Mr. Takahashi is a person who likes to set rules. Probably because his father did the same. Such a man, this manor was inherited from Mr.’s father.”

Bai Chuan sat nearby and listened quietly.

When Tanimoto Hideyuki was telling the story, Chiyuki Mei also happened to come out of her room and saw the housekeeper telling a story. She chose to stand silently by the door instead of walking in, for fear of disturbing the conversation between the two.

Hideyuki Tanimoto continued,

"One winter 15 years ago, my husband brought Mrs. Sugita, Miss Youlan, and Master Juntai here for vacation. My husband repeatedly warned my wife and children not to go to the attic upstairs. Once they enter, they will break the rules here.

"But the naughty young master Juntai couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity. He quietly got up in the middle of the night and ran to the attic.

"The next day we found Master Juntai dead at the door of the attic."

Qianxue Meiyi felt a chill go down her spine. She swallowed and suddenly felt that the room she lived in was so close to the forbidden three rooms, and there were only two ordinary rooms between them.

"Didn't you call the police?"

Bai Chuan asked.

"Mrs. Sugita called the police. When the police came here, they found no clues and finally had no choice but to let it go. The gentleman told everyone that the young master died because he violated the rules. This is a curse of rules."

Hideyuki Tanimoto looked at Shirakawa,

"Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Li brought her pet cat here for vacation. The cat slipped into the attic. The next day, the cat's body appeared in Mrs. Li's room, which frightened Mrs. Li and made her sick for three days.

“Twelve years ago, a maid mistakenly opened the third room at the end of the corridor on the second floor while cleaning, and her body appeared in the rose garden the next day.

"Ten years ago, Miss Youyou came here with her friends for vacation. At night, the young man proposed to take risks in the manor. He ignored the persuasion and entered the forbidden three rooms. Then he went crazy. It is said that a month after he returned, he committed suicide.

"Five years ago, a group of ignorant maids went to the attic to have a party. They all disappeared the next day. No one of the 12 people was found.

"Three years ago, Miss Naomi brought her lover here for vacation. The lovers who were looking for excitement had to make love in the attic, and the two ignored the servants' dissuasion. As a result, when they left the island, the passenger ship had an accident, hit a reef and sank, and both died at sea.

"So young man, don't let your curiosity kill you."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Butler."

Although Shirakawa knew that this butler was genuine through Takahashi Yulan, he did not hesitate to say that the manor where the guests were invited to live was a haunted house, which still made Shirakawa a little concerned.

Shirakawa decided to use the sixth appraisal today on this butler.
