I'm just acting like a pervert, I'm actually a good prisoner

They started the game early today, and it was still some time before noon.

They hadn't eaten lunch yet, and their stomachs were empty and they all felt weak.

This was also the reason why they didn't make any big moves in the past few days. One meal a day could only guarantee their minimum consumption, and the rest of the time they could only stay in the house to maintain their strength and wait for the arrival of the cargo ship.

But now was not the time to rest in peace. The five people except Saul were divided into two groups, Song Nan, Annie, and Sophia in one group, and Phil and Bailey in another group, looking for rooms that could open the door.

The room where Mrs. Custer lived had a different pattern on the door from the others, so they started looking from the farthest place from this room.

They didn't go up to the third floor without thinking.

Judging from the trajectory of the servants' actions before, they should only live on the first floor, their foreign guests and the chef lived on the second floor, and Mrs. Custer and the silver-haired butler lived on the third floor.

Then as long as they avoided these two rooms, the probability of being discovered would not be too high.

There are very few rooms on the third floor. In addition to Mrs. Custer's room and the one next to it, there are only three rooms in total.

They tried it and found that the doors were locked.

Song Nan had given the key to Song Nan. She first opened the room at the end of the corridor. The dust raised by the door choked her.

Song Nan covered her mouth tightly to prevent coughing.

Anne behind her pulled her away and walked in while waving her hand to clear the dust.

When I didn't see clearly, I thought this room was a utility room, but when I went in, I found that it was a bedroom, and it was decorated very delicately, like a girl's room.

I heard from Mrs. Custer before that the last two owners of the Custer family had died many years ago, so this room might be the residence of Miss Custer.

Seeing Anne enter the door, Song Nan and Sophia also went in one after another.

The light inside was dim, and the thick curtains blocked the light tightly.

They had no lighting, so they had to pull up the curtains, revealing the huge tree outside that blocked half of the window like a tentacle monster.

The sunlight shone through the branches and railings onto the ground, forming a weird pattern.

Sophia felt the dark atmosphere here and couldn't help swallowing.

She took a step back inadvertently and felt something on her foot.

She looked down and saw a brown cowhide book, which was covered with dust like the room.

She kicked it with some disgust, and the cowhide book slid on the ground and happened to hit the dressing table.

The slight noise made Song Nan and Annie turn their heads to look at her.

Ignoring Sophia's panicked waving, Annie saw the cowhide book on the ground and took two steps forward to pick it up.

Song Nan also came over, and they didn't mind the dirty book, so they wiped it with their hands, removed the whisk, and flipped through the cowhide book.

This is a diary. Judging from the immature handwriting, it should be written by the owner of this house.

The front looks normal, a little girl's daily activities, such as reading, practicing piano, etc., occasionally mentioning her parents and brother.

But as I turned further and further, the number of times the brother was mentioned in it decreased, and later it disappeared completely. It only said that her parents took her to that place to play again today. Although she was very happy to be with her parents, she still wanted to see her brother.

The diary did not mention where they went to play and what they played. Every time there were some ambiguous references.

Things like underground, dark, strange uncle, and pain.

The three people who had seen and heard a lot of dark sides immediately thought of some bad things.

Song Nan looked serious, thinking that the Custer family would send their own daughter out to be ravaged by others?

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary. The Custer family had accumulated a lot of money by selling arms, so they would never use their daughter to trade.

There was nothing in the diary, and the date was up to five years ago.

After reading it, Anne asked: "Why is Mrs. Custer never mentioned in the diary? If my brother gets married, I can't miss it, right?"

From the diary, it can be seen that the last time she mentioned meeting her brother was a year before the end of the diary, which means that the sister did not see her brother in the following year.

Could it be that her brother got married in this year and married Mrs. Custer?

It's hard to say, Song Nan couldn't analyze anything from such little information, but he knew that the Custer family must be hiding a huge secret.

"You said before that the Custer family has a history of hereditary diseases. Could it be that Miss Custer and her brother separated because of this disease?"

This makes some sense. It may be that Miss Custer got sick and in order to prevent her brother fromBeing affected, they isolated the two.

Anne had only roughly understood it before, and didn't know what the genetic disease in their family was.

Before they could think about it, a small call suddenly came from the door.

It was Bailey standing at the door, waving at them.

Song Nan frowned when he saw him, but still forced himself to hold it.

Thinking that there was nothing to see here, he left the bedroom with Anne and Sophia.

Bailey called them because he and Phil had found the study.

It was just because the key was in Song Nan's hand that Phil sent him to call people.

Seeing that Song Nan was still holding a cowhide book in her hand, Bailey wanted to ask what it was, but when he met her eyes, he immediately turned his head and just led the way.

They came to the other side of the corridor, and when they passed by Sol, they heard him say that no one had appeared, so they felt relieved to find Phil.

Phil was guarding the door.

It was a double door, and the size was different from that of an ordinary room. Phil was also a wealthy man, and he was very familiar with the setting of the study in the villa, so he was sure that this was the study.

Seeing this, and confirming that no one was inside, Song Nan took the key to unlock it.

Because he was afraid that the sound of opening the door would be too loud and would alarm the people in the villa.

Phil and Bailey each held a door and tried to push it open gently.

Fortunately, the door looked well maintained and did not make any noise.

As soon as the door was opened, you could see a huge oak desk in the middle of the room, with several yellowed books and newspapers scattered on the desk.

Several ink-stained feather pens were scattered on the table, and a kerosene lamp was placed in the corner of the desk.

The five people entered the door one by one and began to search the study.

The most eye-catching thing in this study was naturally the desk. Phil, Song Nan and Annie all walked over here and picked up various items on the table to check.

Phil took the newspapers listed in installments and checked the dates. They were all old newspapers from Country M five years ago.

He quickly scanned the contents and found that the common point of these newspapers was that they all published stories about missing persons. From more than ten years ago to five years ago, there were basically three or four months of newspapers reporting missing persons every year.

Why did the Custer family collect these newspapers?

Could it be that these missing persons were all related to them?
