Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 530 Whose Letter?

  "Stumble?" Xiaolan raised his chin.

"Yes," the maid looked sad. "The lady took Mr. Moses and Miss Lily out for a short time. It started to rain outside. There was a lake in the garden. The lake was surrounded by weeds and silt. The lady was accompanied by the lake. When the two children were playing, they fell into the lake. The children were terrified and ran back to the castle. By the time we rushed past, the lady had already..."

   Xiaolan restrained the disgust in his heart and snorted coldly, "Did the two of them tell you that?"

  "They?...You mean Mr. Moses and Miss Lily?" The maid keenly noticed Xiaolan's attitude.

   Xiaolan nodded.

   "Of course... of course the two children told us about the matter, you suspect..."

   "It's nothing, I just ask," Xiaolan quickly dispelled the maid's doubts, "What about after?"

  "After the incident, Mr. Morwen had decided not to marry a wife anymore, until she met Miss Sandora..."

  "The sixth bride..." Xiaolan muttered to herself.

"Yes," the maid raised her eyes and recalled, "Miss Sandola, the sixth lady, is Dr. Sowan's sister, but it is said that the two did not grow up together, so until then, Mr. Morwen Only then did I know that Dr. Suwan had a sister. When the two of them were together, both of them and everything in the castle seemed to become gentle and beautiful, but it also directly caused...Mr. Morwen had forgotten the manor. The curse, not long after Miss Sandora moved into the manor, Mr. Morwen went out again. As a result, Miss Sandora died by the back door of the castle. That cruel man..."

  The maid’s eyes flashed with tears of resentment. She should have thought of her poor friend.

   Xiaolan seized the opportunity to ask, "Listen to this, Shandora and Mr. Morwen are not married, are they?"

"They originally planned to get married, and the castle is also preparing for the wedding," the maid wiped away tears from her eyes, "but you should have heard that before Miss Sandora's accident, the beheading murder was already in the village. It spread from here that many young girls have been murdered. As a very prestigious nobleman in the village, Mr. Mo Wen is inconvenient to hold a wedding at this time. Miss Shandora also understands it very well, but she did not expect it to be cruel and abominable. The gangster reached out to Morwen Manor and killed Miss Sandora. Moreover, he is still committing crimes to this day. If I see the face of that demon, I will curse him for bearing everything in the name of the Lord. Painful punishment."

  The maid said fiercely, but soon realized her gaffe, and apologized to Xiaolan.

   "It's nothing, I understand," Xiaolan waved her hand, "I have one last question. Was Miss Sandora's body found at the back door of the castle? What was the body like at that time?"

"Speaking of..." The maid blinked, "Miss Sandora's body is a bit like Ginny. I remember Dr. Sowan said at the time that the blood on Miss Sandora's body was also much less, and I doubted Sandora. The young lady was not killed at the back door."

  Ginny should be the name of the blonde maid.

   "At that time, you probably also searched the castle and up and down, but did not find where the lost blood went?" Xiaolan asked.

  The maid nodded disappointedly.

  Sandora died in Moses’ room. Xiaolan still remembered the scene in the dream. The silver axe swung by and blood splashed around. The carpets, bed curtains, curtains, and everything around were stained with blood.

  After a few hours, there are no traces?

  This is unlikely...

  The more Xiaolan investigates, the more he feels that these things that happened in the castle should not simply be the abnormal experiences of two murderous children.

  Here, there should also be some things that cannot be explained by science.

  Xiaolan suddenly remembered Shandora’s letter from her family, “By the way, where are the letters from the wife usually stored?”

"Study," the maid pointed upwards, "the servants' letters are usually stored in the study, but the small study next to the large study, where the master’s letters and Mr. Mowen’s collection of books are stored. Mr. Mo Wen is very generous, and he almost never closes the large study room. He said that if we want to read, we can go to his study room to find books at any time... As for the letters, because the communication in the village is very slow, the letters from the past are not Not many letters are placed at the entrance of the study..."

  "What does it mean that communication is slow?" Xiaolan interrupted the maid.

"The communication speed in this village is maddening. Therefore, if we have news to pass outside the manor, it is the fastest to call the concierge to send a telegram to the town. Otherwise, the slowest horses will arrive, and the letter may not be guaranteed. You can get it."

   Xiaolan was stunned for a while.

   "What's wrong with you?"

  "Letter...letter..." Xiaolan's lips urn, "How far is Miss Sandora's home from the manor?"

  "Miss Sandora? She lived in the village before. It takes about two hours to ride a carriage, but if you ask about the communication time, it will be longer, and it may not be delivered in two days."

  But in a dream, Sandora sent a letter early in the morning and received a reply in the evening.

  There is only one possibility.

  That was not a letter from Dr. Suwan at all.

   "The murderer who circulated in the village..." Xiao Lan asked startledly, "Legend, he likes to hack and kill children, right?"

   "Children?" The maid showed a puzzled expression, "No, that nasty murderer specializes in killing young and beautiful women, such as Miss Sandora and Ginny."

  This is a scam.

  Sandora saw the reply from Mr. Suwan who thought she was Mr. Suwan, and believed that the murderer hacked and killed the children, so she suspected that the sound from upstairs was the murderer approaching the two children.

  Without this letter, there would be no distorted legend...

   Xiaolan sighed.

  It is estimated that the ending will not change. If they want to kill Sandora, there are countless opportunities and countless ways. The moment Sandora enters the manor, they are already their prey.

  Seeing that Xiaolan's question seemed to be finished, the maid walked to the side, picked up a bottle of milk and handed it to Xiaolan.

   "You may have to wait a little longer."

   "Thank you, it's okay."

   Xiaolan took the milk, and the soft liquid slid down her throat into her empty stomach.

  Everything in front of me gradually became clear.

  But Xiaolan didn't know what was hidden at the end of this clarity.

  Perhaps, it was a happy ending. He was rehabilitated and the truth was found for the girls who died in vain.

  Or perhaps, is your own demise?
