Chapter 170 - Where is No. 48
Leaving the University of Bordeaux, Roger stood at the door and glanced back at the century-old university, inexplicably, Dickinson's strange gaze seemed to have been hanging over him.
"What a quirky guy."
This Dickinson's attitude towards himself was a little strange, but now Roger couldn't tell whether it was malicious or kind, he just instinctively felt abnormal and wanted to stay away from the other party.
He drove directly to the Bordeaux Library, which had a lot of information and made it easy for him to fill in the gaps.
The cover of the book is black goatskin, and the contents are almost entirely handwritten, with the occasional bulletin attached.
It can be seen that Dickinson is indeed a professor on the subject of historical research, and the entire book is devoted to the Stuart family.
Roger found a corner where no one was around, and patiently flipped through it.
On the first page of the book, a hand-drawn daffodil in full bloom is painted, most of which are six-petaled, but here it is eight-petaled.
The black notes outline the edges of the daffodils with a dignified look, and it looks a little weird at a glance.
In the Stuart family, the number 8 has a special meaning.
On Narcissus Street, No. 8, No. 18, No. 28, these numbers every 8 represent mansions with their own special meanings.
No. 8 Narcissus Street is the most prosperous area on the street and is also the residence of the Stuart family.
As for the meaning of the following numbers, Dickinson does not record them in the books.
Black 8, like a twisted snake.
Roger then looked through the structural drawings of the Stuart family to build Narcissus Street.
From beginning to end, the number ends at 43, and the number after that is gone.
"48 Narcissus Street?"
"Could it be that something is wrong with Anna's memory?"
"She's talking about 43, or something?"
Roger is not very sure about this, after all, nearly 100 years have passed, and many of the records about the Stuart family in the entire book are based on speculation, and there are not many that can be truly determined.
Even Roger did not find Anna's name in the family register.
Just when Roger was confused, he suddenly noticed the pattern of the holes in the wall at the back of the house.
Rotate the pattern in his hand and adjust the angle a little bit, Roger's eyes suddenly lit up.
"4 and 8."
The holes in the walls seem to be disorderly, but in fact, the inner and outer circles always maintain only the number of 4 and 8.
After thinking about it carefully, what he saw in the misty world, Roger thought about it, and found that it could also correspond to the law in front of him.
"Isn't the so-called 48 Narcissus Street built on Narcissus Street at all?"
"It's named 48, but it's actually built in a different place?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in my head.
For a family, most of the most important places that will be built far away from the family residence and are indispensable.
That's the family cemetery!
"The so-called 48 Narcissus Street, isn't it a house at all, but a cemetery?!"
Roger guessed.
After much scrutiny, he realized that his guess was most likely true.
Thinking of this, he began to quickly flip through the relevant materials.
"It's a strange family, where ordinary people live is built like a tomb, and the family tomb is named after the number of a normal house, and then built elsewhere."
Roger looked through it, and it took him several hours to find a clue in an inconspicuous message.
"The family cemetery of the Stuart family at that time was not built in Bordeaux, but was placed in the current Marsh Town!"
"At the same time, their cemetery did not adopt hanging coffins, but chose burials according to the tradition of Ingiman!"
"This is so weird!"
Roger frowned.
An alien aristocrat, when building a house, adopted the traditional local burial structure, as if deliberately letting the living live in the room of the dead.
However, in the family cemetery, they were buried according to tradition, but the choice of location was the swampy town, where the underground water was the most serious.
It's like deliberately soaking the corpses of family members in a swamp to complete some ulterior secrets.
Following this clue, Roger checked some official records of that year, and on the list, it was impressively recorded: No. 48 cemetery.
"That's how it should be!"
Roger clenched his fists excitedly, and he felt that he was very close to the truth of the matter.
Anna's memory was obviously out of order, she couldn't remember the family's last name and origin, but she remembered Narcissus Street and No. 48, which is why she gave the address.
But why did she say that her family was not far from the neighborhood?
In the mountains and forests near Baytown, as far as Roger knows, there is no such thing as a family, Anna is buried in Baytown, but their family cemetery is in Swamp Town.
"Strange."
It seems that the clues have been sorted out, but Roger has more doubts.
Without further ado, finding a clue, Roger drove straight to Swamp Town.
The address of the cemetery is still recorded on the list, but it has been so long that it is not known whether the cemetery was moved away when the Stuart family left.
Or, the cemetery has been completely buried in the vicissitudes of history.
By the time Roger arrived in Swamp Town, it was already afternoon and he had eaten some quick food on the street.
The address on the list was left over nearly 100 years ago, and after investigation, the original cemetery has been renovated, and now it has been renovated into a psychiatric hospital.
Roger also did not expect that he would come to this place again after the events of Hanham.
Swamp Town Psychiatric Hospital.
At the door, he asked to meet Dr. Rooney, and soon the door opened, Roger drove the car into the hospital, and Rooney took the initiative to stand at the door to greet him.
The middle-aged doctor looked a little haggard than he had seen last time they met, but he still smiled a little when he saw Roger.
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
Roger's enthusiasm for Rooney was a little strange.
"Thank you and the gentleman for your help."
Rooney's attitude was even somewhat respectful.
"Something happened recently that gave me a new perspective on the world, and that doll I received not long ago may be hiding terrible malice."
"If it weren't for you and another gentleman......"
Obviously, Rooney should have been exposed to some otherworldly events in recent times, so there was some speculation about the last time he and Henrik visited.
But it's better, Roger nodded and said, then explained his intentions.
"Cemetery?"
Rooney frowned.
"I seem to vaguely remember that there was such a thing."
"Come with me, I'll help you check the information, this area is very large, and so many years have passed, even if the cemetery really still exists, I'm afraid there won't be anything left."
Rooney is an important person in charge of the psychiatric hospital and takes Roger to the reference room.
He rummaged through the dust and pulled out a drawing.
"This should be it!"
Hand the drawing in his hand to Roger.
"See if it's what you want."
Flipping through the drawings, Roger's gaze froze slightly.
