Meanwhile, in the manor, the investigating officers made a new discovery. In the drawer of the deceased's room, they found a diary. The entries were fragmented, documenting the deceased's investigation into certain secrets of the manor. The words hinted that he seemed to have uncovered a truth shocking enough to astonish everyone, and as a result, he had fallen into a state of great fear. The officers also discovered that there appeared to be an unknown connection between the deceased and Chen Hao; they had crossed paths in some business dealings.
As for Maid Lily, after Lin Yu and Officer Li left, her inner fear intensified. She felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her from the shadows. Recalling the dark figure she had seen last night, she decided to check the hallway again, hoping to find some new clues. When she timidly reached the end of the corridor, she noticed that a door, which had been tightly locked before, was now slightly ajar. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly pushed the door open. Behind it was a dusty room with a large box in the center, marked with a familiar Strange Symbol. Curiously, Lily stepped forward to try to open the box. Just as her fingers brushed against it, a chilling laugh echoed from behind her. Terrified, she turned around only to see a shadow rapidly approaching her...
In the Archive, Lin Yu and Officer Li pieced together a rough timeline from their research. They speculated that this Murder Case was likely connected to the secrets left behind by the tragedy that had occurred in the manor years ago—perhaps related to a struggle over hidden family wealth or revenge. Just as they prepared to return to the manor with their findings, Lin Yu's phone suddenly rang; it was an officer calling from the manor. The voice on the other end was anxious and tense: " Detective Lin, something's wrong! Maid Lily has gone missing! We found signs of a struggle in the room at the end of the corridor, and her Handkerchief is here..."
Lin Yu and Officer Li exchanged glances, an ominous premonition rising within them. They knew they had to rush back to the manor quickly; otherwise, Lily might meet with misfortune, and the truth of this case could sink into oblivion along with her disappearance. The two sprang into action and dashed out of the Archive toward the manor, which loomed like a slumbering beast waiting for them to return and unveil its long-hidden dark secrets.
As Lin Yu and Officer Li sped down the muddy road, wind and rain lashed against their car windows, adding an oppressive atmosphere to their urgent rescue mission. The moment their vehicle came to a stop at the manor entrance, they braved the storm and rushed inside.
Inside the manor, the remaining officers looked anxious. Upon seeing Lin Yu and Officer Li return, they immediately gathered around to report their findings. "We've searched everywhere in the manor but can't find any trace of Lily," said a young officer with a dejected expression. Lin Yu furrowed his brow as he scanned his surroundings; after a moment of thought, he said, "Let's check the room where Lily went missing."
The group entered the dusty room where Lily had disappeared. Lin Yu carefully examined the scene. Signs of struggle were evident: chairs were overturned and scattered hair lay on the floor—clearly indicating that Lily had fought back here. He crouched down and picked up her Handkerchief; one corner bore a dark red stain that looked like blood. A tight knot formed in Lin Yu's stomach as his worry for Lily's safety deepened.
Meanwhile, in a dim corner of the manor's basement, Lily was tightly bound to a chair with ropes, her mouth gagged with a piece of cloth that prevented her from making any sound. She stared in terror at an indistinct shadow before her; tears welled up in her eyes. The shadow slowly paced in front of her while emitting an eerie laugh: "You shouldn't have meddled in things that don't concern you, Lily. Since you've seen what you shouldn't have seen, don't expect to leave here alive." As it spoke, it picked up a dagger and waved it before her eyes; the blade reflected cold light that made Lily tremble uncontrollably.
