The morning sun shines through the green bamboo forest and falls on the wet path in the yard. And I am the famous Hawthorne, and I am in Mr. Song Wenxuan's study at this moment. The secret that Song Zian told me last night made me itch, and I couldn't wait to find out. Mrs. Li Wanqing held breakfast in her hand and knocked gently on the door of the study. She asked with concern in her eyes: "Mr. Hawthorne, why did you get up so early?" Hello, Mrs. Li! Good morning!" I responded with a smile, but I was still thinking about the family secret that Song Zian told me, "Do you know the family secret that Mr. Song revealed?" After hearing this, Mrs. Li Wanqing's eyes widened, and then she regained her calm: "There are indeed some things in the past at home, but Wenxuan is not very willing to talk to me about these things. "It was noon, and you would sweat if you walked outside. I was walking aimlessly in the study, and suddenly something on the ground caught my eye. What was it? It turned out to be a yellowed photo. This photo is undoubtedly old, and there are two young people in it, one of whom is the familiar Song Wenxuan, and the other one I have never seen before. They were laughing very happily, with a lotus pond in the background. I suddenly had a feeling in my heart that this photo must be related to the family secret. "Excuse me, who is this lady?" I asked Mrs. Li Wanqing in a low voice. She took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "This is Su Wan, Wenxuan's good friend when he was young. But what happened to her is a deep scar in our family, and no one wants to mention it again. "Just as the sky gradually darkened and the sunset slowly set, I could no longer suppress my curiosity and decided to walk to the edge of the lotus pond, perhaps I could find some new clues there. After walking to the edge of the lotus pond, I began to quietly observe the reflection on the water, but my mind was always thinking about Song Wenxuan and Su Wan, as well as the secret of that family, not to mention the mysterious closed room murder case. All these clues seemed to point to a super complicated story, which made me feel very confused and bewildered. "Mr. Hawthorne, so you are here!" Song Zihan walked over quietly, with a hint of worry in his eyes. I handed her the photo: "Take a look at this photo, maybe you can find some clues." Song Zihan took out the photo and stared at Su Wan's face for a long time. He said: "I've heard my father mention Aunt Su Wan before, but my father always spoke vaguely about her. "I suddenly realized that this case was much more complicated than I had imagined, and that secret might be the key to unlocking the mystery of the secret room. Just when I thought it was all a false alarm, I suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the stone next to the lotus pond - the stone looked uneven, as if someone had moved it. Puzzled, I reached out and pushed the stone, only to find that there was a secret door hidden underneath it! A narrow path appeared in front of us, covered with thorns and moss, and it was obviously a place where few people tread. However, I couldn't care less, I immediately turned around and said to a few people, "Hurry up, let's follow! "Wow..." Song Zihan was so surprised that he almost cried out. I finally made up my mind, took a step forward, took out the flashlight, and carefully walked onto the path that seemed to have no end in the dark. Song Zihan followed closely behind me. Although she looked a little nervous, the footsteps of both of us were particularly clear in the quiet night. At the end of the path was a rusty iron gate. I pushed it open with difficulty. A damp breath hit my face, and I shivered. I used the flashlight to illuminate the road ahead and found a room hidden underground. The walls were covered with various calligraphy and paintings and souvenirs. These things looked very old, as if they had been covered in dust for a long time. I walked to the stone platform in the middle of the room, on which was placed a wooden box engraved with the Song family crest. I was thinking about what important things might be in this wooden box, but my eyes were attracted and I couldn't take my attention away from it. I was about to reach out and touch the wooden box, when I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I was startled and immediately turned around, only to see a man in a black robe walking towards me. "Mr. Hawthorne, please don't touch that box!" The old housekeeper of the Song family said to Hawthorne in a hoarse voice, with a nervous expression on his face. "Why can't I touch it?" I asked curiously, and my hand stopped moving. The old housekeeper lowered his voice and said in a deep tone: "The box carries the darkest secret of the family. It is a key that locks the curse. Before Mr. Wenxuan died, he specifically told us that no matter what happens, this box must not be opened, otherwise it will bring endless disasters to the family. " I looked at the wooden box in the old housekeeper's hand, swallowing saliva, and my heartbeat began to accelerate. What secrets are hidden in this wooden box? In addition, there is a basement in this house. Judging from the layout and furnishings of the room, it should be a secret room. Su Wan was also imprisoned last time. Is there any connection between this room and the box? And does Su Wan have other secrets? What is the truth behind all this? These questions lingered in my mind, making me feel uneasy. 0
