Chapter 345: The Haunted House's Déjà vu
Relying on Caitlin's familiarity with the terrain of Piltover's streets, Jeno and the others sneaked into an alley and managed to evade the sand thieves.
Looking at the scenery on the side of the road, Caitlin's doubts became more and more serious, and finally she could not suppress her curiosity and asked Jeno:
"Where are you taking us? I remember it wasn't the way to Blue Smoke Manor. ”
The road that Jeno took at the beginning was towards the Blue Smoke Manor, but there was a deviation in the direction behind it, normally speaking, Jeno had lived in the Blue Smoke Manor for a short period of time, and it was impossible not to know the road, so Caitlyn asked.
Jeno's answer to this question was:
"Don't worry, my uncle and aunt will be safe in the manor. We'll go to Ezreal's house first, his uncle may still be at home, and we'll take him for refuge before we go to the manor. ”
With that, he gave Ezreal a look, but the other party didn't react, like wood.
"Is that really the case?" Caitlin muttered to herself as she looked at Ezreal, who was snorting with a blank face.
"This can still be fake, you care about your relatives, why don't others do this, think about it and understand Ezreal's mood." Jeno felt weak for a while, and quickly urged Catelyn to hurry up and stop being suspicious.
In fact, he is going to go to his house with Ezreal to fulfill his promise, which is tantamount to a private matter, if Catelyn knows what happened, not to mention that there will be another quarrel, a few words of raising the bar must be indispensable.
So in order to avoid differences of opinion, it is better to hide this matter from Caitlin.
But what made it difficult for Jeno was that Ezreal, who was usually very spiritual, became a dumb man after he caught a cold, and he couldn't understand his own hints.
Ezreal's home and the Blue Smoke Manor are both located in the wealthy area of Piltover, and the distance in a straight line is not even a thousand meters, so going to his house first and then to the estate is not much different from taking a slight detour. It wasn't that much of a hassle, so Caitlin's opinion was quickly suppressed by Jeno.
It didn't take long for Jeno to lead a few people to Ezreal's door.
Ezreal's home is still recognizable, and in the affluent neighborhood of a new building that blends sleek marble, bronze grids, and gleaming glass roofs, Ezreal's "old" bungalows with a mix of rough stone and old timber can't help but look out of place.
"Jeno, do you think Uncle Lemuel will be angry with me?" Touching the mottled wooden door, Ezreal's hand suddenly hesitated, not daring to push the door open.
He felt that Uncle Lemire must have been angry with him for not saying goodbye for the past few days, and he didn't know how Uncle Lemmyr would be scolded when he went in at this time.
Ezreal was not a rebellious teenager, but he was heartfelt and took risks, neglecting the only relatives who had been working for him.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a big problem, if he gets angry, you can just be scolded honestly, people will care about you if they care about you." Jeno calmly analyzed it and told Ezreal about his experience.
But after a while, Ezreal still didn't push the door open, which made Jeno a little anxious, it was not safe to be exposed on the streets, and it stands to reason that even in the middle of the night, there would be some sand thieves roaming the streets, and it would be easy to be exposed.
"Ezreal, what are you doing?" Jeno asked in a whisper.
"The door seems to be locked, and I'm looking for the key...... Oops, oops! Ezreal rummaged through the keys, only to find that they were already missing when she had changed her clothes, and all she could find was a can of conditioner.
"Wow, you guy, can't you just flash in with magic?" Jeno was almost on the verge of hitting someone.
A cute and handsome blue kid like Ezreal, he might have to cry for a long time if he was beaten with an iron fist!
"I'm not afraid that the magic fluctuations from the gauntlet will disturb the witch spirit......" Ezreal quibbled aggrievedly, even in the dark of night, he clearly saw Jeno subconsciously raise his fist to hammer him, but he didn't know why he pressed it down again.
Maybe it's because my face is too handsome to bear to ruin it......
Just as Ezreal was self-absorbed, Jeno burst into a low voice and said angrily, "Is the talisman I gave you an ornament?" I won't use it with a gauntlet! ”
Jeno had already pulled the pendant around Ezreal's neck and made a red mark, and then he used his magic to reveal the armguard on his arm, and then snapped his fingers.
A flash of golden light flashed, and Ezreal broke free from Jeno's grasp, disappearing into thin air.
The function that can be hidden by the Nezuk Arm is discovered by Ezreal in the subsequent use, because this holy relic originally uses the power of space, so hiding the main body in another space and taking it out when needed is not something difficult for Ezreal, a magical genius, to do.
Moments later, the door to the mansion opened, and Jeno and the others entered, then locked the door again.
After looking around the hallway, but finding no sign of anyone, Jeno asked Ezreal, "Where is your uncle?" ”
"I don't know, I'll have to take a look around." Ezreal replied.
Since several people did not dare to make too much noise, the search for Lemir began quietly.
Ezreal's mansion is still not small, with three floors, a round-shaped corridor surrounds the hall, and a gorgeous glass chandelier hangs on the top, the key is that the mysterious murals, weird statues and various collections with a sense of age hanging in the corridor all add a bit of gloomy atmosphere to this old mansion, and give Jeno these guests feel as if they are walking in a haunted house, inexplicably mad.
I couldn't have imagined that Ezreal, who grew up in this mansion, would have such a sunny personality.
The gloomy castle-style architecture frightened Taliyah, and as soon as she entered, she followed closely behind Jeno, for fear of losing her lone in the dark.
Within two steps, Jeno was startled by a tragic figure who suddenly appeared in front of him, and it wasn't until he settled down and walked in that he realized that it was just a stone statue.
Looking at the stone sculpture of the tortured person in front of him who had his heart stripped out and his limbs twisted, Jeno couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the courage is to be grabbed from the doll." ”
At the same time, he noticed that Caitlin was opening the door and searching around in the darkness, as if she was very familiar with the building, and he couldn't help but ask.
"I've been to this room several times because I have to handle cases and collect evidence, and most of them are related to juvenile crimes, commercial crimes, and disappearances." Caitlyn replied lightly, opened another door, and when she found that there was no one inside, she closed it and searched one by one, looking for Professor Lemire.
Caitlyn didn't mention crimes such as smuggling antiquities, and Jeno couldn't help but glance at Ezreal when she heard this.
