"What's the matter, Mr. Walton?" Markis asked as soon as he came.

"There." Walton pointed to the wall on the third floor where the air conditioner was installed: "Did you do it while renovating the exterior wall?"

"Yes."

"It turned out that there should be a large area of ​​green plants growing in that place, right? Most of them were eradicated later?"

"Yes, but you also know that there must be bugs where plants grow. In addition, this place is an ancient castle, which makes it easier to breed mosquitoes, so I wiped out that plant." Markis replied honestly: "It turns out that plants were planted for beauty and to prevent the summer sun from shining directly into the house. But now that there is an air conditioner, this situation does not exist. By the way, another reason for me to eradicate those plants is to install an air conditioner external unit."

plant?

What plants did Walton find there?

"Let's go to the third floor."

Walton said and returned to the castle directly.

The others could only follow him.

As soon as he entered the room on the third floor, Walton kept looking into the room. Then he opened the window and poked his head out, looking very carefully.

After a while, he called Lei Huanxi to his side: "Boss, do you see that corner? There is still a little remnant of the plant. My leg arthritis is not particularly convenient, so please help me get it?"

There?

This little thing is very familiar to Lei Huanxi and he is agile. He took some green plants back in a short while.

Walton took it, looked around and then, and put it under his nose to sniff it.

What exactly are you doing?

After a long time, Walton spoke again: "Was there a rose in this room before?"

"Yes, how did you know?" Musky was very surprised: "The wife of the former owner of this castle likes roses very much, so she placed several pots of roses in the room. Later, I took over, and I gave them all to someone."

“There are also in his kid’s room?”

“Yes, all.”

"Rose is particularly beautiful?"

"Yes, why do you know everything?"

"I know everything?"

Walton smiled: "Okay, let's go back to the hall."

With a group of people full of doubts, they followed Walton back to the hall on the first floor.

Musky's wife Barbette, daughter Anniko and his brother-in-law Stein were also here.

"You asked me just now why I know everything." After everyone arrived, Walton said: "Not only do I know this, I also know that the former owner of the castle did not live in the same house with his wife and children. I even knew that his wife and children were ill in April, and even, I knew even more that the rose species in the house was French rose."

Everyone looked at each other.

Why did Walton know so clearly?

"I majored in botany when I was in college, and my academic performance was particularly excellent." Walton introduced his major without hesitation, and then waved the green plant in his hand: "So, now I will allow me to introduce the thing I have taken. The scientific name of this plant is red vine maple-like lying grass, similar to the common ivy we have.

These two plants are often easily confused. The rhizomes of this plant are highly toxic and touched, but once eaten, they will definitely die. The medical tests we use often cannot detect the cause of death, and can only be detected through the blood test of the deceased. This matter is put aside. As I said just now, the red vine maple-like lying grass will not have any side effects whether it is touched or smelled.

But it has a very strange place. Once it is fused with the pollen of roses, especially French roses, it will produce a neurotoxin.

After this neurotoxin invades the human body, it will not be displayed immediately, and there is a gradual process, which lasts for about a month.

The initial symptom is that people become lazy, and after a week, they will lose their limbs and become slow to react. After fifteen days, people will develop dementia. If emergency treatment is performed at this time, it can be saved, but if this time limit is exceeded, there is no symptomatic treatment for this disease in the current medical field."

"I know, I know." Lei Huanxi said: "The wife and children of the former owner of the castle have French roses in the room, and the other lying grass outside the room, so they became demented."

"Yes, that's why." Walton smiled bitterly and said: "Red vine maple-like lying grass is rare. It usually grows in the Amazon rainforest area, and is basically unavailable in the United States and Europe. But who thought that this kind of plant would grow outside this castle? What's even more unfortunate is that the director's wife here has French roses in her room!"

"What if it is another variety of roses?"

"Except for the pink rose and loofah rose and the combination of red vine maple lying grass, it will make people feel tired, and the other roses will not have any side effects."

The former owner of the castle is so unlucky.

Lei Huanxi felt a little amused.

The extremely rare red vine maple-like lying grass in the United States and Europe actually grew outside this castle, and the hostess liked roses.

The question is what kind of roses you like are bad, and you must like French roses?

Isn’t this a coincidence that I rushed to seek death?

You have caught up with nothing in a thousand.

Then, now it can be proved:

There is no curse in this castle.

The culprits are just red vine maple lying grass and French roses.

All cursed things do not exist.

"No wonder, no wonder."

The Makiss family murmured there.

Many seemingly unsolved mysteries in the world have revealed that they are worthless.

Lei Huanxi previously revealed the mystery of the ghost, and now Walton has successfully revealed the mystery of the castle being cursed.

Of course, there is much more than that.

Lei Huanxi suddenly said, "Wharton, you just said that the rhizome of this lying grass is highly poisonous?"

"Yes."

"So can I assume it?" Lei Huanxi said slowly: "Once someone eats the rhizome of this lying grass, a look of horror will appear on his face when he dies."

"It's totally correct." Walton smiled: "This rhizome is not only highly toxic, but also hallucinating. People who take it will have various hallucinations, and some will be very terrifying."
