Chapter 939 Peeping
Lying on the bed, as soon as she closed his eyes, the two collided shopping carts in the supermarket always popped up in front of Eva. Who could it be? Recently, she didn't seem to have any conflict with anyone, and she didn't have any special unhappiness with anyone in the crew. The role had been set for a long time, and it wouldn't be waited until now if there was a problem. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She raised her head and began to look around the ward.
She tried her best to convince herself not to think about those car accidents anymore. It was not until dawn that she gradually calmed down and fell asleep.
At dawn, Eva was awakened by a nightmare again. She felt a little bored lying on the bed. The shopping cart in the supermarket and the scene in the garage appeared in her mind again, as if they were movies that flashed through. She vaguely saw a black car which was started from the side. At this time, Essie and Percy came to help with the discharge formalities, but she didn't notice them.
"Ring, ring," a hurried ringtone came to Eva's ears, waking her up from her contemplation. It was the ringtone of Essie's phone. On the phone, Eva vaguely heard the words supermarket, garage and the same car.
Essie told her that it was from Jim. He checked the camera near the car accident and found that a car went out of the garage in front of their car and then drove to the right road. They couldn't see at the corner. But just as their car came out, the car suddenly appeared in the monitoring camera and accelerated towards their car. Then two cars bumped into each other. The car retrieved and quickly ran to the left road. The whole process was very short, and the surveillance camera could not even get a clear photo of license plate number.
It could be sure that the car that was driving from the garage before them was the same car that hit them. This should not be a car accident, and there must be a plan. Jim arranged many bodyguards to ensure the safety of Eva.
On their way home, the astronomical observatory was reporting that a complete moon eclipse would take place this Friday night. It could be seen clearly all over the city and people who were interested could pay attention to it. Hearing that, Essie muttered, "Why is there a full moon eclipse again?"
Every night of the blood moon, there would be a turmoil in the yard. No one knew what would happen this time.
The moon was round on Friday, and the Rong Mansion was quiet. Since they were not interested in the moon eclipse, Zac and Essie also went to bed early. In the yard area, the bright moonlight shone on the wall, reflecting a thick shadow. The breeze blew the branches, leaving a sound of shaking leaves.
After midnight, a shadow appeared from the edge of the full moon and slowly expanded. When the last light was also devoured by the dark shadow, there was only a red round outline hanging in the sky. The entire Rong Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a strange shadow.
"Ah!" A sudden scream broke the silence of the night and came out from the bushes near the yard. The startled security guards rushed to the scene first, only to find that the scream was from a newly hired male cleaner. Soon after, uncle Li, the butler of the Rong Mansion, came in a hurry, and more security guards gathered at the place of the accident.
The male cleaner kept screaming and making all kinds of dodging and pouncing movements, without any response to the shouts of the people around.
With the hint of uncle Li, two security guards stepped forward to stop him and tried to calm him down.
"Ah... Don't catch me!" Obviously, the two security guards didn't work. The man continued to run away and tried to break free from them.
Uncle Li asked two more security guards to help him, and then he slowly controlled the situation.
"I heard her crying and saw a woman's head popped out of the wall, wearing red clothes, right there..." The male cleaner gradually calmed down and began to respond to uncle Li's question. He pointed at the wall of the ghost yard.
Following the direction he pointed, uncle Li looked at the courtyard wall and frowned.
"I guess you must be dazzled. The moon is not very bright tonight, and there is a full moon eclipse. You must see it wrong. Let's go back!"
Hearing this, the security guards knew that there would be no gains, so the two security guards helped the male cleaner up and slowly followed uncle Li away. The onlookers gradually dispersed, and the security guards on the road whispered. Obviously, these security guards were still confused. The seeds of fear slowly crawled into everyone's heart, especially the security guards who knew something about the ghost yard. They began to feel a little scared.
On the second day, the story of a haunting ghost yard was spread among all the people in the Rong Mansion. After hearing uncle Li's report, Albert didn't say much. It seemed that he was sure about uncle Li's judgment that the cleaner saw it wrong. He nodded to Zac and Essie, who were looking at him, and said, "It should be just a servant's illusion at night. It's not a big deal. You don't have to worry too much."
On the other side of the table, Walt and his wife were having dinner together, while Mary was sitting on the other side. They didn't show much emotion.
In the basement of the villa, Albert appeared at the door of a secret room. Uncle Li opened the door for him in a hurry. The secret room covered an area of about twenty square meters, with thick walls on four sides. On a chair in the middle, the cleaner who had claimed to have seen the ghost last night sat on it in a somewhat dispirited state, with obvious scars after lynching on his face.

"Tell me, what did you do in the ghost yard last night?"
After Albert came in and closed the door, uncle Li walked to the cleaner's side and raised his head with his hand.
"I'm a cleaner. I just went there to clean the house last night. I didn't know I would encounter her! I don't have any special intention!"
"You're lying. I've already told them not to clean that area for the time being. I'm the butler of the Rong Mansion. Don't I know that?"
"I'm really just going to clean the house," the cleaner continued to insist.
"I know you were not there to clean the house. Tell me, who sent you here? What are you going to do in the Rong Mansion?" uncle Li asked.
"How much benefit did they give you? As long as you can confess everything, I promise I won't pursue this matter anymore. At the same time, I can also give you the reward that the other party has promised."
"I'm in charge of cleaning." Obviously, the cleaner didn't buy it.
Helplessly, uncle Li used some lynching, but the cleaner insisted that he was only here to clean up. Since there was no progress, he suggested to Albert that they should let Zac have a try. He said that Zac was good at questioning.
After getting the approval of Albert, he called Zac and called him back to the Rong Mansion. After briefly explaining the situation, he told Zac that he had told everyone that they did not need to clean the area of the ghost yard for the time being. There must be a hidden conspiracy of that cleaner to appear at that area.
Led by uncle Li, Zac soon arrived at the secret room. When he entered the room, he saw that Albert was still working hard. "I will give you double benefits as long as you tell me your plan and purpose of the other party!" Obviously, the cleaner was not interested in Albert's promise.
Zac nodded to Albert. Then, he glanced at the room and observed the cleaner for a while. He gave a hint to Albert and uncle Li to let him have a try.
"I'm working on several methods that are more painful to people recently. I'm just about to find someone to do experiments. I happen to have this opportunity. I think you will be interested in it." Zac sneered.
"The first kind of torture is called iron plate burning. I think you will be interested in it after you try it." He motioned for uncle Li to take a knife and suddenly grabbed the cleaner's hand.
With a scream. Zac raised his head to look at the cleaner, who screamed like a pig while covering his fingers.
Seeing Zac approaching him with the iron plate and the finger, the cleaner struggled hard and tried to lean back, trying to stay as far away from the finger as possible. Unfortunately, Zac didn't do as he wished. With his strength, the cleaner's head was closer to the iron plate.
"No... No... I'll tell you!" When the iron plate was about to reach his mouth, the cleaner obviously began to panic. He chose to give in.
"You are giving up so fast! I thought I should prepare more tricks." Disappointed, Zac tilted his head to the housekeeper uncle Li, hinting him to continue the question.
"If you had acted like this earlier, you would have suffered less. Tell me, who sent you here?" Uncle Li walked to the cleaner and sighed.
"Willi asked me to come here. I just followed his orders."
"Willi? Why did the dead mouse send you here? What's its plan?"
"He wants me..." The cleaner paused and hesitated. When he was about to make up an excuse, he saw Zac leaning against him with that iron plate again and smiling at him.
"He sent me here to inquire about the secrets of the yard. Willi heard about something about the ghost yard from some servants who resigned from the Rong Mansion. He was very curious, so he arranged me to help him inquire about it."
It was Willi again? Why was he interested in the ghost yard? Obviously, Albert and his son couldn't figure it out.
"That dead mouse might want to seize the secret of our Rong family to threaten us. It's too naive." Zac snorted.
