Chapter 918 Ghost Traces(1/3)
On the fourth floor of Timov Castle, in a luxurious living room with a hemispherical stained glass dome, Wei Ran and Sui Sui sat side by side on a retro-style luxury sofa, looking at the front that had just been lit by Leya to decorate it.
In the hearth of the atmosphere, Anfisa translated the English diary left by Timov into Russian in real time and read it aloud in his ears.
??On a round table not far away, Anfiya was taking out several Austrian specialty dishes from the thermal lunch box and placing them on it.
??On the carpet next to this big round table, the three pets headed by the dog Beria sat upright side by side, raising their necks in unison to look at Anfiya, and at the same time drooling uncontrollably.
On the carpet.
??These greedy lunches that make them drool, naturally cannot be cooked in this castle, but Anfiya drove to the town below the mountain to buy them.
??"Let's eat first"
??Wei Ran called Anfisa to stop, and called everyone including Leya to sit down at the table.
??Although the diary that Anfisa just translated records some trivial matters in life, Wei Ran and Suisui can also feel Timov's sincere feelings for Sophie from the diary.
??"Leya, how many workers are doing maintenance in the castle right now?" Wei Ran asked while cutting a fried pork chop that was bigger than his face.
??"There are five plumbers, five landscapers, two electricians and a carpenter, and a team of 16 cleaners."
??Lea paused, picked up an apple strudel with her hands and took a big bite, then continued, "In addition, we hired two local chefs for a short period of time. They work in the office at the foot of the mountain and are responsible for everyone's meals every day.
Prepare lunch and dinner."
??"How long does each maintenance take?" Weiran asked while giving half of the cut pork chops to Suisui.
??"Once in spring and once in autumn, each maintenance can be completed in two weeks at most."
??Leya explained in a familiar manner, "The main maintenance work is to clean all the rooms except the church, and to inspect and repair the roof and windows.
??In addition, because the heating equipment of this castle comes from geothermal, pipeline inspection is also a top priority. Especially in autumn maintenance, if there is a problem with the heating pipeline, it will bring us huge trouble and losses.
??The last thing is gardening work, Mr. Dominic asked... "
??"So even during the maintenance period, you don't live here?" Weiran changed the question before the other party finished speaking.
??"No one wants to live here"
??Leya said slightly embarrassed, "Although I know there are no ghosts in this world, but..."
??"So you all live in the office at the foot of the mountain?" Wei Ran continued to ask.
??"right"
??Leya nodded, "Every day before the sun goes down, we will leave the castle and return to the town at the foot of the mountain. After all, it is more convenient to live in the town. Although there are complete water and electricity here and there is network signal, the castle is too big.
Well, even if we all live here, it will still be a little scary."
??"makes sense…"
??Wei Ran couldn't help but nodded. How beautiful this castle is during the day, but how eerie and scary it would be at night. Or to put it another way, all Chinese people understand, if such a big house is not popular, then it is better to sleep in it.
The cemetery is more peaceful.
??But having said that, after Dominic finished making his will, he asked Lily, who was obviously harboring disloyalty, to bring him here. It was inevitable that he did not want to help him catch ghosts.
??As the saying goes, using people's money to eliminate disasters. Let's not talk about whether he believes that this place is haunted. I'm afraid there is a question mark as to whether the ghost will appear tonight.
??However, just as he thought of this, he heard Leya say, "Actually, in the autumn of the year before last, there was a plumber who didn't believe that this place was haunted, so he lived here."
??"What then?" Suisui asked immediately after listening to Anfisa's translation, and at the same time took a big bite of the crispy fried pork cutlet.
??"At two o'clock in the morning that night, he drove back to the town."
??Lea put down the half-eaten apple in her hand
??Juan, said slightly helplessly, "Everyone firmly believes that this castle is occupied by devils. As long as someone stays here, they will come out to scare people."
??"This is the 21st century..." Suisui couldn't help but mutter.
??"really"
??Leya nodded, "But the plumber I just mentioned, when he was awakened by the cry of goats in the middle of the night, he found a goat's head on the balcony railing outside the room."
?? Seeing everyone looking at her in surprise, Leya spread her hands helplessly, "That's what the plumber said at the time, but when we went to the castle the next morning, we didn't find any goat heads.
??Moreover, he chose a room on the highest floor. It would be very difficult to place a sheep's head on the handrail of the balcony of that room from the outside."
??"The atmosphere is starting to get fuller"
??After listening to the translation, Suisui became more and more excited, "Ask her if we can stay in that room tonight."
??Hearing this, Wei Ran, who also had the same idea, immediately translated the request.
??Leya certainly had no objections to this. After Wei Ran and others had finished lunch, she immediately took them to the room they just talked about.
??"The bedding was changed yesterday. The bedding in all the rooms in this castle was changed yesterday."
??"What a waste..." Anfiya muttered in a low voice, and then translated it to Suisui.
??Leya just smiled and did not explain. She just reached out and lifted the dustproof cloth covering the bed in this bedroom, and then pointed to the balcony handrail outside the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "According to the plumber, the star at that time was
The goat's head is right there."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking in the direction of the opponent's finger, Wei Ran simply opened the glass door leading to the balcony and looked up, down, left and right.
??Looking out from here, if you want to see the city wall, you have to go down, but not far away, there are still two buildings that are higher than where they are.
"Leya, what's over there?" Wei Ran asked, pointing to the two towers.
??"Bell Tower and Guard Tower"
??Leya immediately explained, "Those two towers are also the highest positions in the entire castle. Of course, both the bell tower and the sentry tower have lost their original functions, especially the sentry tower. According to Mr. Dominic's request, now those
Many pigeons' nests were built on it."
??"Can I go take a look?" Wei Ran asked.
??"sure"
??Leya said immediately, "But there is no elevator there, and I suggest you just go to the clock tower and have a look. The smell on the watch tower is not very good, and we haven't had time to clean up the feces accumulated on it."
??Hearing this, before Wei Ran could say anything, Suisui backed down first, "You and her can go see it, we won't go."
??"Tired?" Wei Ran asked with a smile, how could he not know what this little thing was thinking.
??"We are going to the hot springs." Suisui said and looked at Anfiya with a smile, "Did you buy it?"
??"Bought"
?? Anfiya nodded, "I have bought bathrobes, towels, and everything else that may be needed. I also bought enough wine and Aludler, as well as fruits and desserts. They are all in Ms. Leya's car now."
Leave it alone."
??"Let's go and test the temperature of the hot spring first. You can come over and soak in the hot spring later!"
?? Suisui, who only wanted to soak in the hot springs, patted Wei Ran's shoulder with a playful smile and issued an invitation that she couldn't refuse. She walked out and said, "Kami, take all those things to the hot springs, let's go to the hot springs.
.”
??"We will send it there right away" the Katenka sisters replied in unison.
??"Pay attention to safety." Wei Ran gestured silently, and at the same time made a hand gesture of holding a gun without leaving any trace.
??Seeing this, the Katenka sisters nodded imperceptibly and followed Suisui, who was shouting, and left the room.
??"Are they going to the hot springs?" Leya asked proactively.
??"Yes." Wei Ran nodded, "Let's go to the bell tower and have a look."
??"Come with me"
??After Liya finished speaking, she also walked out of the room, and at the same time
??Don’t forget to take off the walkie-talkie that has been strapped to your waist, and notify the staff who are still doing maintenance to leave the castle immediately and end today’s work early.
??"Are those staff members working together for a long time?" Wei Ran asked as he followed Leya towards the clock tower.
??"right"
??Leya answered bluntly, "Walter, the leader of the gardening team, is my husband. He and I met in this castle. He and several other gardening staff he leads are all Italians."
.
??The team of plumbers, electricians and carpenters came from a German company that was involved in the castle renovation. The foundation has been working with them for more than ten years.
??The cleaners are also a company we have long-term cooperation with. Basically, the people sent to work here are Bulgarians. "
??"I see you like this job very much," Wei Ran said casually.
??"Actually, I care more about this castle than Mr. Dominic."
??Leya replied calmly, "This work of art was built under the leadership of my father. Even though it was plagiarized, my father's life ended here. I have spent most of my life maintaining this castle.
Even my husband met here. Besides, Mr. Dominic is also a very generous boss, so why should I not like this job?"
??"He is indeed a very generous boss." Wei Ran nodded in agreement. Everyone is a worker. This is undisputed.
??Led by Leya, the two walked through the maze-like castle for about ten minutes before standing outside the locked iron door directly below the bell tower.
?? Pulling out the key and unlocking the door, Leya took Wei Ran into the bell tower, pointed to the spiraling stairs and said, "This bell tower is almost a replica of the Elk Castle bell tower, only a little bigger and taller.
, do you need me to accompany you up?"
