Chapter 396 The key hidden in the study


    Madama Butterfly was not surprised by this answer, she just said: "You are all weirdos."


    The two of them had arrived downstairs. Duke Taer was drinking tea in the tea hall. When he saw Xu Huo, he said, "Don''t keep those spiders. I don''t know if they are poisonous. I didn''t sleep well all night last night. Young people will inherit from their elders." You don’t have to inherit your weird hobbies as well.”


    "It''s my uncle''s favorite thing. I can''t dispose of it at will. But I don''t like spiders very much, so I plan to build a butterfly house in the castle specifically to raise butterflies." Xu Huo said.


    Duke Tarr put down the tea cup, "This is a good idea. Do you know how to raise it?"


    ification


    "That''s just right. I also want to build a butterfly house, so stop working and go over and help me." Duke Tarr turned his face and asked Madam Butterfly: "What do you think of my idea?"


    “Okay, can we see it today?” Madam Butterfly smiled secretly.


    "Yes!" Duke Tarr said immediately: "There are a lot of them in the natural park. I''ll let someone catch some."


    “It’s not interesting to put it in a bottle. Why don’t we go over and take a look.” Madam Butterfly said, “I also want to go to Mr. Duke’s house.”


    ?? Duke Tarr suppressed the smile he just showed, "The house is being renovated, so I''m afraid I won''t be able to entertain guests."


    "What should I do?" Madam Butterfly said, "I have already checked out the hotel room, and I don''t want to stay in the hotel anymore. There are too many people there and the air is bad."


    “It’s better to go to my lakeside villa, that place has a nice view.”


    Madame Butterfly looked at him with a half-smile, "As a guest, I can''t visit the Duke''s house. Instead, I live in the villa where you play. This is not good."


    There is a special oppressive force in words.


    “It’s not appropriate,” Duke Tarr finally remembered that she was also a player, so he changed his words: “Whatever place the lady likes, I’ll have someone arrange it.”


    "It''s very nice here." Madam Butterfly glanced at Xu Huo, "The new heir is also hospitable and even came to give me an umbrella in the middle of the night. I like it here very much and plan to stay here for a few days."


    ??Duke Tar stared at Xu Huo with an unkind look.


    Xu Huo pretended not to understand, said a few polite words, and invited them all to stay for as long as they wanted.


    Duke Tarr certainly wanted to, but then a few calls came in. He hesitated for a while and then left. Before leaving, he told Xu Huo to take care of Madam Butterfly, only in public places.


    "He''s overthinking, not everyone likes old cows to eat young grass." Xu Huo sent the person away before looking back at the woman standing not far away, "You and He Pu are friends, you must be quite old. "


    These words did not anger Madam Butterfly. She played with her fan and said, "Don''t be nervous. I don''t want to kill you now. I have to live here for a few days. It''s not convenient to kill you. Butler Winter."


    Mr. Dong walked over silently.


    "Please prepare some pillows for me. I''m going to the study on the third floor to read," she said.


    Mr. Dong said: "The third floor is Mr.''s private place and does not receive guests."


    Madam Butterfly smiled and said, "You can''t stop me if I go."


    “You need to obtain your consent, sir.” Mr. Dong said.


    Madam Butterfly looked at Xu Huo and said, "Young grass, is that okay?"


    Five minutes later, the two of them were already standing in the study room on the third floor. Madam Butterfly casually flipped through some medicine notes taken out by Xu Huo, "These notes are all old." "The person has been dead for five years." Xu Huo said. Huo followed her and watched her walk to the bookcase, took out a hard-covered "Encyclopedia of Fairy Tales", turned to one of the pages, touched the place where the word "key" was written, and a yellow The copper key appeared in her hand.


    Xu Huo has looked for this study more than once. The death of He Pu and the appearance of the fake He Pu are both strange. The most likely place in this castle to hide secrets is the study, but he did not expect it to be hidden in this way.


    Madam Butterfly shook the key at him, "Do you know where the other thing is?"


    Having the key, of course you need to find the lock.


    Xu Huo walked to the middle of the bookshelf and pulled out a copy of "Lock" from the top.


    “There are many books with locked characters, how do you know it is this one?” Madam Butterfly asked.


    “Intuition.” Xu Huo answered perfunctorily.


    Madam Butterfly didn''t care. She put the key on the key, and a keyhole appeared on the original intact book cover. As she turned it, a "click" sound came from somewhere in the study.


    The two walked out of the bookshelf and looked outside. A door appeared on the ground behind the bookshelf next to them.


    “Mr. Dong’s castle can hide a lot of things. It can be regarded as a container prop, but the interior is very large and people can easily get lost when walking in. Follow me.”


    ?Xu Huo glanced at her in surprise, but didn''t say much.


    Madam Butterfly knelt down and opened the door, and the two of them walked in along the sinking stairs.


    It was pitch black behind the door, and nothing could be touched on either side. Only the road underfoot was real. After walking in the dark for a while, Madam Butterfly took out a glass lantern and walked forward.


    It’s unclear what mark she was walking on. About ten minutes later, a bright spot appeared in the darkness in the distance. There was a desk there, with chairs, bookcases, and a toy rocking horse next to it.


    On the desk there is only a lamp and a square box with a carved eye pattern.


    Madam Butterfly touched the head of the wooden horse, then walked to the desk, raised her hand and pressed the square box, "You don''t want it?"


    "This is obviously not something for me." Xu Huo said. Although he inherited the castle, what he inherited was very vague. Madam Butterfly knew about it, and Mr. Dong did not stop her when she opened the door, so he acquiesced to her behavior. .


    ??? He may not be able to beat this woman.


    Madam Butterfly held up the square box and stared at the pattern on the box. Xu Huo only glanced at it twice before looking away and walked to the bookcase consciously.


    There was only a thick photo album on the small bookcase. He opened it and saw that it was full of news clips about the attack on the game government and some video records of burning and explosions. There was also a very detailed record sheet next to it, recording every incident. The location, time and casualties of the explosion.


    Most of those attacked were game government offices or places closely related to the game government. The more he watched these videos, the more familiar they seemed to Xu Huo, until a capital "V" appeared in the flames of the burning video at the back.


    "V. Fanshawe, a pyromaniac." This sentence appears frequently in news clips, especially the subsequent arson incidents that have a special "V" mark.


    “V·Fan Xiao.” Xu Huo pressed the photo album. This name was no stranger to him.


    His lighter was V. Fanshawe''s crime tool. The prop introduction mentioned that he completely disappeared after committing the last crime and left the arson tools at the crime scene. The game government has not found out the true identity of V. Fanshawe at all. , I didn’t expect that this photo album would be recorded in such detail, even including cases before the “V” character appeared.


    ?Hope is V. Fanshawe?
