Chapter 506 Investigation(1/2)
The missing maid named Xia He.
In her room, all kinds of furniture were spotlessly clean. Detective Ma looked at the photo frame. There was a young woman with a melon-shaped face and two dimples when she smiled. She touched her chin with regret: "What a pity..."
After being entertained for a hearty lunch, he naturally began to investigate.
The first stop was the maid's room.
"How is it? Have you found anything?"
However, after the scene was cleared seriously, Detective Ma looked at Xiaoling with anticipation.
His daughter has the legendary ability of Yin and Yang Eyes, and can see many things that ordinary people cannot find, and is regarded as a secret weapon by Detective Ma.
"No……"
Ma Xiaoling said timidly that since she saw the white shadow, she seemed to be frightened.
In the past, she used the ability of Yin and Yang eyes to help her father observe subtle traces that ordinary people could not detect at certain crime scenes, thereby providing clues.
But this time, it was her real first time facing a fierce soul!
"So, let's go shopping around the mansion again!"
Detective Ma thoughtfully said, "Maybe there will be some discovery... But Mr. Chen is also a person with a story. I found out that his previous jade business was very big, but he resolutely retired at his peak and brought his family to seclusion here... It's strange to say that he didn't seem to see his family this time! Go out and ask!"
"You said, Madam and Miss!"
The housekeeper, Uncle Chen, was wearing a suit similar to a tuxedo, with a bow tie on his chest and combed his hair meticulously. At this time, he heard Detective Ma’s question after coming out and replied: “Because such a thing happened, I was very scared, so the wife and the second lady went back to the city first!”
"I see!"
Detective Ma nodded, but shouted in his heart: "It's true that there is something wrong!"
When ordinary people encounter such a haunted house, even if they don’t believe it, they may move out and observe for a while, right? Especially for such rich people who cherish their lives.
But now, Mr. Chen Xinbo has been sticking to this, especially after someone disappeared, which is very abnormal.
"Oh... Before leaving, the lady advised the master, but he insisted on staying, saying that he wanted to accompany the eldest lady!"
Uncle Chen added another sentence.
"So there is another lady who doesn't want to leave!"
Detective Ma nodded. As for the reason why the other party refused to leave, it might be because of his courage or just a simple way of making a name for himself?
"Okay, we want to observe this Chen Mansion and ask the butler to lead the way."
"No problem. The master has given me instructions to cooperate with Mr.!"
Uncle Chen smiled and began to inspect the mansion with his father and daughter.
The mansion is very large in size. In addition to the main hall, the master's study and bedroom, there are also gardens, stables, and kitchens dedicated to servants. Even servants can be divided into one bedroom for each person.
"Master... he is really kind-hearted. He also disagrees with the public and wants to give us servants the best treatment. For this reason, he does not hesitate to expand the mansion and spend an extra amount."
Uncle Chen sighed and after taking Detective Ma to visit the garden, he came to the bedroom of the front owner.
The corridor is made of mahogany, with artworks placed on the wooden frames around it, and oil paintings of the first mate on the walls. The structure of the entire mansion is full of artistic atmosphere. It seems that Chen Xinbo is also a person who is very good at enjoying it.
"This is……"
Detective Ma looked at the jade displayed on a wooden stand. Through the glass, he could see the crystal green inside, and his eyes could not move away: "Is this the raw stone? Jade raw ore?"
"Haha...Mr. Ma has such a good eye. This is a treasure that the master is proud of!"
Uncle Chen smiled and pointed to a skylight that opened on a stone: "This is a very precious glass type. It was mixed in a pile of stones and was caught by the master at first sight. Some friends paid 8 million and did not give up their love."
"Eight...eight million?"
Detective Ma opened his mouth wide, and then realized his incompetence and swallowed hard.
If it weren't for the strict defense here, he might even be moved.
"Of course, it's just the price of gambling. Because it's not completely cut, it's difficult to determine the value. Maybe there are stones inside..."
Uncle Chen smiled: "However, some people like this stimulation. Does Detective Ma have any research on jadeite?"
"Ahem...of course!"
Detective Ma straightened his chest and his expression became serious: "It is said that crystals such as jade have special spiritual power. In the customs of the Western Jeep, there is a part of using crystals to divine."
"hehe……"
Uncle Chen smiled a little stiffly.
What he said was the value of jade, how did he talk about this supernatural aspect?
"dad……"
At this time, Ma Xiaoling pulled his trousers and obviously gained something.
"What did you find?"
Detective Ma was shocked and asked quietly.
"There……"
Ma Xiaoling pointed to a door. The door was quite exquisite, and the bronze handles emitted a bright luster.
"Which room is this?"
Detective Ma cleared his throat and asked Uncle Chen.
"Here..." Uncle Chen looked embarrassed: "This is our lady's room!"
"Can you go in and take a look?"
"Sorry... our young lady is afraid of seeing strangers!"
"That's how it works!"
Detective Ma did not continue to persist, but secretly paid attention to it in his heart.
...
night.
"Dad... it's not good for us to do this. It's a girl's room!"
Ma Xiaoling looked at Detective Ma with a confused look on her face and whispered.
"Anla! Since you think there is something wrong with that room, there must be some bad things inside!"
Detective Ma said carelessly: "I'll go and investigate it well, and it's also for the sake of the lady's safety."
"Is that true?"
Ma Xiaoling's expression suddenly became suspicious: "You might be interested in the Chen family's property and are going to find me a stepmother, right?"
"Puff! Cough cough!"
Detective Ma almost choked to death by his saliva: "What nonsense are you talking about? I... am I that kind of person?"
But while talking, he shrank his neck guiltily and tidied up his clothes.
"If it's not, it's just a simple investigation mission, why did you even change your clothes..." Ma Xiaoling rolled her eyes, and the corner of her mouth could almost have an oil bottle.
"Be good, take good care of your home. Dad will go back and buy you lollipops!"
Detective Ma wiped his cold sweat and secretly rummaged through the window.
As a detective, he still has some anti-reconnaissance methods. He sneaked to the nearest of the master bedroom along the route he had seen during the day.
At this time, another door creaked open. Chen Xinbo came to his eldest daughter's door with a kerosene lamp, took out the key and opened the door: "Wei'er, I'm here to see you!"
"It's so late, my father still entered his daughter's boudoir at night. There's really something wrong with it!"
Detective Ma secretly scolded him for being shameless, and obviously thought of some of the eighteen bans: "It's worth investigating..."
He approached him secretly, but did not notice that behind him, a pale palm slowly moved forward...
...
"Huh? Who are you?"
At the same time, Ma Xiaoling also looked at the child in front of her with a look of surprise.
He was about the same age as himself, but his body was covered with mud and fallen leaves, and his clothes were torn several times, as if he had just run out of the barren mountain.
The most important thing is that his hands were covered with frozen purple, as if they were severely frostbite. At this time, he grabbed the pastries on the table indifferently and ate them in big mouthfuls.
"Are you a child from the village? Have you been bullied?"
Ma Xiaoling looked at the little boy's hand: "Do you want me to give you medicine?"
"No, it will be fine by itself!"
Fang Yuan patted his stomach: "Ha... I finally got half full. But I still want to eat meat. Do you know where the kitchen is? Oh, by the way, who are you? The child of this family?"
"No...no! My father and I came here. He is a very powerful detective. Come here to investigate a supernatural incident!"
Ma Xiaoling was completely confused. Is it really good to say so carelessly about the bad things she was going to do?
"Supernatural?"
